HT201272 What is it with songs that are not from the itunes store, but are coming from cd's and other download sources that all of a sudden do not play on my iphone and have a red stop button in a red round circle around them, behind the title?

Songs that I have had previously downloaded from various other sources, but NOW ALL of a sudden they DO NOT PLAY on my IPHONE and DISPLAY a RED STOP BUTTON in a red round circle next to the title. Everytime I click on it it DOESNT play. What happen???? How can i get them to play., Why should i have to pay for the songs, and why are they in the ITUNES store and not in my regular playlist.

Amazing steps you've done so far! The great news is this is very unlikely an issue with your iPhone.
I've run into a similar issue lately as well. I narrowed it down to one song that was causing 30 songs not to sync. I removed the song from the sync list (unchecked it) and all 29 songs were able to sync.
You may be running into a similar issue. This may be a problem with this version of iTunes, an issue with one song or a group of songs; hard to know for sure. It's important to narrow down and isolate the cause. Most imporantly get that music back on there!
The way to narrow down the casue add just a few songs at a time (even 1, just to get that first sync finished). Manually syncing is what you'll need here.
Plug in your iPhone, on the Summary screen (shows a picture of your iPhone, the iOS version, Restore iPhone....; etc). Under the Options area at the bottom choose to Manually Manage Videos and Music then choose Apply in the lower right. The music that's on your iPhone now should be removed from your iPhone now. You're now able to sync music manually.
The link below explains how to drag the songs from the iTunes library on the computer on to your iPhone which will start the sync. Add just one song just to see if you can get 1 of those hundreds of songs on there. If you can, awesome! Keep adding until you find the song or group of songs that are causing this issue.

What do you with songs that dont have Album Artwork? Cover flow.

I have a live concert recording from my favorite band from 2 years ago. obviously since its a live recording, there is no album artwork for it but i use cover flow, which i love.
if i dont have album artwork for even this live recording then it defeats the purpose of having cover flow. so what do i do?

Find a suitable image and add that as an illustration in the absence of an actual album cover. Just add add the image manually to the tracks you want: Adding Album Cover Art or Images in iTunes
I found this page full of pictures using Google image search: The Decemberists

HT201272 I bought an audiobook and it doesn't appear on my itunes store but I got an order confirmation and it hit my credit card. Now what do I do?

I bought an audiobook download from my ipad mini and i got the receipt from my credit card but it doesn't appear in my itunes anywhere. Can I get it re-downloaded? How do I do that?

Have you checked to see whether it's in the Music app (iTunes on the iPad it just the store, it doesn't contain your downloaded and synced content) ? When you have audiobooks on an iPad you will get an Audiobooks option under the More button at the bottom of the Music app.
Note that audiobooks are currently a one-time only download from the store (so they won't appear in the Purchased tab for re-downloading), so you may want to copy it to your computer's iTunes via File > Devices > Transfer Purchases so that you can take a backup copy of it - it should copy over to the Books part of your iTunes library.

2 iphones upgraded to io6 now recieving the same messages on both phones, also. cant get on safari, itunes store but can get on face book and poker.

I have 2 iphones using th same itunes account(worked for a years so dont see why I should change this ) now both uprgraded to io 6 one is 4s, the other 4. Since upgraade, If I send a message to hubby on the 4 phone it bounces back to me and says it from my number, if 3 of our kids, who are not on Our itunes account and dont live here send a message it comes to both of us, If I send message they confused as to who it came from. Yesterday message from a stranger asking about something we selling, his messages were meant for 4 phone and came to my 4s as well, if hubby take a photo and send to some one I get it as well. Itunes not working at all, safari, not working , face book and zynga do work how ever. How can I fix this. Telstra said it itunes problem which I agree, Problem was not there before io6 up grade. but messages from hubby mates dont come to my phone, is it only strangers whose number we dont have and the numbers that we both have which would be our kids. If I send message to hubby it bounces back to me as well as he gets it. HELP Jenny

This is what happens when using the same Apple ID on multiple devices for iMessage.
Options are:
Use different Apple ID's for iMessage, can still use the same Apple ID for purchases.
Turn off iMessage.

Run e-tester from a server and have staff remotely update scripts

Can we run the floating e-tester from a server and have staff remotely access the server to run and update scripts instead of installing the client on everyone's workstation?

Original Question:
Can we run the floating e-tester from a server and have staff remotely access the server to run and update scripts instead of installing the client on everyone's workstation?
There are different alternatives to consider and different ways to answer the question.
1) You can run e-Tester with a floating license from a server and have people to use remote desktop to run and create scripts.
Pros:
* Multiple users can be updating scripts in the server at the same time.
* There is no need to install e-Tester in any other computer.
Cons:
* If the max number of floating licenses is reached no other person can open another instance of e-Tester.
* Having multiple people running scripts in the Job scheduler will create conflicts therefore is not recommended. Running multiple instances of e-Tester manually shouldn't cause problems, but it is a slow way to do regression testing. The job scheduler can run a script after another without user intervention. Teamwork can be affected if the default settings are changed by different users.
* Running thru remote desktop(or any other remote tool such as vnc) is slower than having etester in the computer. The refresh rate of the screen tends to be slower.
* If multiple users are using the server resources at the same time it can slow down the work of others. The server can run out of memory or it will be slow because the CPU running near max capacity.
2) You can run eTester with a node lock license from a server and have people to use remote desktop to run and create scripts.
Pros:
* Multiple users can be updating scripts in the server at the same time.
* There is no need to install eTester in any other computer.
* Only one license is required.
Cons:
* Having multiple people running scripts in the Job scheduler will create conflicts therefore is not recommended. Running multiple instances of etester manually shouldn't cause problems, but it is a slow way to do regression testing. The job scheduler can run a script after another without user intervention. Teamwork can be affected if the default settings are changed by different users.
* Running thru remote desktop(or any other remote tool such as vnc) is slower than having etester in the computer. The refresh rate of the screen tends to be slower.
* If multiple users are using the server resources at the same time it can slow down the work of others. The server can run out of memory or it will be slow because the CPU running near max capacity.
Notes:
1) Having eTester installed in each individual's computer will allow the person to run tests with no worries about conflicts of server resources or job schedules trying to start an etester instance. Installing etester is a one time thing that takes in general less than 10 minutes.
2) Instead of sharing the server resources you can share the place where the scripts reside. You can place the scripts in a central location and and configure etester to read the scripts from there. Instructions on how to do this should be in the knowledge base (if not please let me know)(Don't be lazy Zuriel, paste the link here).
3) You can consider to have eManager Enterprise if you want to have better organization of the scripts. In eManager Enterprise you can relate your test cases to your scripts, you can run the scripts from a central location, it is less limited for scheduling scripts than the JobScheduler, and it can be accessed from anywhere inside the company with a web browser (for security reasons requires username and password). eManager Enterprise doesn't have the ability to create or update scripts, it uses scripts that were created in eTester already.
eManager can also create schedules conflicts if multiple runs are attempted. There are ways to deal with this situation by having multiple computers to run the tests. (Please post in another thread if more information is necessary).
I hope this helps.

Zuriel

I create a playlist with songs that I purchased from itunes and when I try to sync it to my iphone some of the songs are missing but when I go to the playlist in itunes the song is there. What could be happening? What am I doing wrong?

I've created playlists with songs I've purchased from iTunes and also added songs I've purchased from iTunes to existing playlists. Everytime I go to sync the playlist to my iPhone I find some of the new songs missing from the playlist. I've deleted the playlist from the phone and reinstalled it. I don't know what I"m doing wrong. Anyone have any idea what could be the problem?

Wondering if you haven't been bitten by the new "feature" of iOS 5, as was my son. turingtest2 explained it very well in reply to my own query about "missing" songs in playlists.
Here's that thread...

I have a classic iPod with songs that were put on it from a different computer. If I plug it up to my computer, will it keep the songs that were originally on it from the previous computer AND allow me to put new songs on it from my computer?

No. Your iPod is designed to sync with one computer/iTunes library at a time. If you try to sync it with a new computer/iTunes library, the contents currently on the iPod will be erased and replaced with content from the new library. So you'll want to copy what is currently on the iPod over to your new iTunes library first before syncing it.
See this older post from another forum member Zevoneer covering the different methods and software available to assist you with the task of copying content from your iPod back to your PC and into iTunes.

If they aren't showing in the Purchased tab in the iTunes store app (and the Purchased link under Quicklinks on the right-hand side of the iTunes store homepage on your computer's iTunes) for redownloading then have you checked to see if they are hidden : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4919 ?

HT4914 I have several songs in my ITunes library that show as ineligible to be uploaded to ICloud, even though most of them were purchased through the ITunes Store. Has anyone else experienced this and figured out why?

I have several songs in my ITunes library that show as ineligible to be uploaded to ICloud via Match, even though most of them were purchased through the ITunes Store. Has anyone else experienced this and figured out why?

I had the exact same issue!! Seriously p*ssed me off when I checked out my ITunes purchased items (via my computer) and noticed that most of the additional tracks listed on my IPhone playlist was listed there too. However, I never authorized any purchases!! (I have actually written Apple Support asking for a full refund of all tracks listed on my purchased list)
Be careful when you swipe your finger to the left/right on those "additional" tracks on your IPhone playlist... I'm pretty sure that the cloud symbol is an option to download or automatically buy those tracks.
Solution for the problem:
1 - go to your IPhone settings
2 - choose "iTunes & App Store"
3 - go to "Show All" & "Music"
4 - turn off "Music" by moving the bar to the left (it should be a white color once you turn it off)
Should solve your problem :~)

I have not been able to use iTunes for several months. Every time I open iTunes, it freezes by computer such that there is about a minutes between each action. I am running iTunes 11 on Mac OS 10.6.8 and have a computer with maxed out memory.

So i used to have an album in my itunes library but i deleteted it by accident and it's not on my computer what do i do to get it back???

So i used to have this album in my itunes library but i deleted it by accident and i found out its nt any where on my computer and it's nt in my itunes back up either. I took it off my ipod about a month ago because i had to create a backup. Between that time span when my ipod was blank i had deleted that album off itunes so when i downloaded all my stuff from my backup onto my ipod the album was gone and it was like a HUGE album about a hundred or so songs what do i do to get it back???

I have a master iTunes file that contains all the music that I or my children have bought and then my own collection within the file. That song, 'Mercy, Mercy Me/I Want You' is gone from both lists
Nabitnak, Not sure what kind of master file you are keeping, but the song file is probably in your backup.
Why is that song not available on iTunes? I can get it on Amazon.
The iTunes Store, like any retailer, does not have 100% of all existing items. But anyway, if you can buy it on one store, it hardly matters why another store does not have it.
The coincidence of my missing song and iTune's missing the same song is beyond suspicious.
Maybe, although if you have a backup it should be there.
To address the other part of your question, "I can find it on You Tube, why not iTunes?": Youtube has content that is uploaded by users. Music retailers such as iTunes have content that they are licensed to sell as downloads. The two things have nothing to do with each other.

What is it with yield() that I don't understand?

The following code starts a thread that awaits a notification that never comes. However, I was expecting the Foo main thread to enter the running state again sometime after it yields and print the last line "main running again", but not so. The program hangs and never execute main's last print statement.
class Task extends Thread {
Foo foo;
Task (Foo syncOnThis) {
    foo = syncOnThis;
    @Override
    public void run () {
    synchronized (foo) {
        System.out.println("task has the foo lock.");
        try {
            System.out.println("task about to release lock.");
            foo.wait();
        } catch (InterruptedException ie) {
            System.err.println("task was interrupted.");
        System.out.println("task was notified!");
public class Foo {
    private synchronized void notifier() {
        notifyAll();
        System.out.println("foo notified all");
    public static void main(String[] args) {
        Foo foo = new Foo();
        Task alpha = new Task(foo);
        alpha.start();
    Thread.yield();
        try {
            Thread.sleep(500);
        } catch (InterruptedException ie) {
            System.out.println("Foo's sleep interrupted");
            System.out.println("main thread running again");
}My understanding of yield() is that it offers to demote the current thread to the runnable state in order to allow other threads - in this case Task - to enter the running state. But once Task calls wait(), it also retreats from the running state and this is where I expect the main thread to become running again.
If I swap yield() with something like
        try {
            Thread.sleep(500);
        } catch (InterruptedException ie) {
            System.out.println("Foo's sleep interrupted");
        }then it main does actually return to a running state and executes the last statement.

I see.Do also note that yield seldom is used these days. You most likely have a bug in your implementation or design if you think you need to call yield, or you are executing on a really old VM or on an odd system.
(The first versions of the Solaris VM didn't use round robin so you had to release the execution to avoid starvation.)

I am having trouble with songs that will not play completely through.

I am having trouble with songs that will not finish playback. The songs play about 75% of the way and then stop mid-song. This is true for my PC and songs transferred to my iPod. I have redownloaded (and repaid) for one song to see if that helps, which it did. But that can become expensive as I am starting to find an increasing amount of songs that are haaving this problem.

Take it to a genius bar. It's probably something with the magnets.

HT201272 What is it with songs that are not from the itunes store, but are coming from cd's and other download sources that all of a sudden do not play on my iphone and have a red stop button in a red round circle around them, behind the title?
