Need Help: Problem with iTunes 8 and artwork.....

This is a weird issue. I'm trying to add album artwork for imported albums manually in itunes that it can't find or has incorrect. Every time I try (no matter which method) the artwork either doesn't take, iTunes freezes, or the album in question skips the first track until I delete the entire album and re-import. Any suggestions? I'm running 10.5.6. Any help would greatly appreciated

Hi,
Hope I can help. I had a similar problem. I could not update any information about the tracks album etc. I had checked permissions everything... finally I decided to go to ID3Tags and selected none and then the edits took. Strange don't know why, but in my case it has worked a number of times.

    Problems with itunes 8 and ipod shuffle gen 2.
    I recently upgraded from itunes 7 to itunes 8 on my windows XP PC. That's when i had issues syncing my 2nd gen shuffle.
    When i try to drag songs directly on it, itunes says i can't
    I made a playlist and use auto fill. But when I remove it from the dock, it's either not updated, or the new songs are at the bottom of the playlist when they are supposed to be up higher. I end up having to hit auto fill twice to make it sync correctly.
    Computer Specs
    Windows XP SP3
    384MB of Ram (works really good)
    USB 1.1 connection
    Pentium 4 clocked at 1.285 GHZ
    IPOD Shuffle Specs
    2nd Generation
    1GB (964MB)
    Version 1.0.4
    unchecked options: open itunes when ipod is attached, Sync only checked songs, convert higher bit rate songs to 128kbps AAC, Enable sound check, Limit MAX volume, enable disk use
    All those are NOT checked. Sometimes i enable disk use for seeing the IPOD_Control folder, but either way it still messes up.
    Itunes Specs:
    Version 8.1.1.10

    This is a well-known issue. Apple changed the internal file names used with iTunes 8, which makes the ordering on 2nd generation Shuffles behave differently. There is no good workaround, apart from moving the files with a hand-crafted AppleScript program.
    Apple has been silent on the issue, so nobody knows if we'll ever have a fix for it or not.

  • Problem with iTunes Match and the song "This will be (an everlasting love)" from Natalie Cole

    Hello,
    I'd like to report a problem with iTunes Match and Natalie Cole's song "This will be (an everlasting love)".
    When I stream it or download it on another device I don't get Natalie Cole's song but another one from Maxine Nightingale (Right back where we started from).
    Please tell me if you have the same problem or how I can report this problem to apple.
    Thank you.

    Hi,
    This is a user to user forum - not Apple. Contact them http://www.apple.com/support/itunes/contact/
    Alternatively if the song was purchased from iTunes, you may be able to report the problem by signing into you iTunes account on your computer. Report an problem with an item you bought from the iTunes Store, App Store, Mac App Store, or iBooks Store

  • I really need help connect with my ipod and my itune??

    guys when i pluge my ipot to my computer and open itune it appear on the itune with my computer screen "iTune has detected an ipod that appear to be courrupted. you may need to restore this ipod before it can be used with itunes. you may also try disconnecting and reconnecting the ipod.
    i been try those step again again and again still would be same problem. is that mean my ipod is broken? and does the warrarty covered it to fix my ipod for free?

    i can't found any ASC in my area and can i took the
    ipod back to the stroe where i brought it? also that
    i live in californa LA
    If you take the iPod back to where you bought it they will probably send it to a ASC but if you want to do it yourself here are some ASC's in your area

    Q. What if I lost my receipt or proof of purchase?
    A. You should check with your reseller, who may be
    able to provide a duplicate receipt for you. If you
    purchased directly from Apple, go to:
    www.apple.com/support/store for a duplicate receipt.
    is that true?
    I'm not sure about individual store policy but if you bought it from Apple then there will be no error in when it was purchased because you bought it directly from them.

  • Big problem with iTunes Match and subscription renewal -- think twice before you sign up!!

    A little over a year ago I signed up for iTunes Match thinking it would be an excellent way to free up some space on my drive and save me some time by providing access to all of my music on my phone/ other devices. About 100gbs was uploaded without incident. I deleted that music from my drive thinking that iTunes match is like any other cloud based service. In August my subscription came up for renewal. In August I had also switched debit cards. The auto-renew failed. I received notification of such and then went to update my new card information with the account. The card information updated successfully, but when i then went to update my iTunes Match I would receive the error message #5002. So I called customer support. They politely agreed to rectify the situation and that I was not the only customer to face this situation, but said it would require contacting engineering to get a hard fix since in order for an account to renew a subscription they have to purge the library. This is fine because all of your iTunes account purchases are already backed-up. But it is not okay, if you have any other 3rd party music in your library. All of the 3rd party music I had uploaded from old CDs, converted LPs, or purchased through other online vendors would have to be deleted in order to renew my subscription. Engineering replied that there was no work around. This has left me at a weird impasse with customer support with no resolution. The music is just sitting there. I'm gladly willing to pay to renew my subscription, but because of bad engineering, deceptive advertising, and what I'm guessing is a greedy internal policy regarding 3rd party media, I stand to lose the couple thousand bucks just by being a loyal Apple consumer and choosing to use their product over alternatives in the market like Google Play. The morale of the story is this: ITUNES MATCH IS NOT A REAL CLOUD BASED SERVICE EVEN THOUGH IT IS ADVERTISED AS SUCH.  Think twice before you sign up!  

    Hello Michael, I've been reading many of your splendid replies so perhaps you can help me as I can't seem to find the exact solution to what should be a simple problem. I got a new iPod Touch recently and after spending almost 3 hours on the phone with Apple today we discovered my account was so old it hadn't synched up correctly with Apple's new data requirement so an Apple manager was connected to me and eventually we solved several issues which I won't bother going into here. However, at some point in all this I saw Match show up and music from the iCloud was seemingly downloaded onto my new iPod. I was surprised to see this as I thought I'd done away with Match long ago, but with the new version of iTunes which eliminated over 300 playlists and all of my music from iTunes when it updated to the newest version last week, I suppose anything is possible.
    What I want to do now is simply to be able to put my own music back onto my new iPod and ignore everything related to Match hoping it goes away and never returns. So I followed the online instructions to turn off Match, and now iTunes and my iPod say I need to subscribe to iTunes Match...but I still cannot download anything onto my new iPod and the 15,000 plus songs that appeared to be downloaded earlier when on the phone with an Apple manager are also no longer available. BTW, my Match subscription should be paid for, but I can't even figure out how to make sure it never gets updated again as this is nasty business scrubbing all 3rd party music off our own devices. Yuk. But can you help me please? Thus far, this experience with this new iPod Touch and the new iTunes 12.1 is the worst experience I have ever had with Apple and I own many Apple products.

  • "short-term memory loss": problems with iTunes, iPhoto, and others

    Recurring problems been frustrated with for several weeks, likely related in some way:
    1. iTunes (10) keeps asking for me to agree to license agreement every time it boots up.
    2. iPhoto (8.1.2) and Keynote (5.0.5) and iMovie (8.0.5) repeatedly give Start-up launch screen even though I click not to see it. iPhoto repeatedly asking me if I want to GPS my pictures.
    3. Google Earth stopped working.
    4. Skype also keeps asking me to agree to license agreement upon every launch.
    4. Skype upgrade (going from 2.8 to 5) runs and goes through all the way to relaunch but old version still there and no v. 5 to be seen.
    5. Adobe Acrobat repeatedly asking for log-in agreement too.
    HELP!
    I have already reset PRAM and SMC.

    Sorry for the length, got carried away trying to touch on main points.
    Okay, 2006 model, which came out Aug 2006-7.
    Heat. Good idea to run SmcFanControl 2.x to run default rpm 800-900 instead of too slow 500-600. Heat really harms those extra hot FBDIMM RAM chips.
    You need to boot from another hard drive to repair your boot drive.
    I would not go with DU and trust its verify. Alsoft Disk Warrior.
    You probably have a dying OEM Nvidia 7300GT or ATI X1900 that clogs itself with dust (poor air chamber design) and has to be pulled and cleaned 3-4x a year. There is even a recall-exchange program for some of the ATI X1900s, based on card serial number.
    Upgrades almost never do fix problems with hardware except once in awhile where graphic card drivers can always use some help.
    At the least, to repair your drive, boot from SL DVD and "Utility Menu => Disk Utility" until you have OS X installed on a small 30GB "emergency Mac" volume (from which to run DU but also Disk Warrior).
    I am not a fan of upgrading the OS to a new version. Format a new drive, and even actually new drives can ship with bad sectors. Think they don't? it would cost much more and longer to test even 1TB drive. And format a drive with Disk Utility from the new OS with Disk Utility, not older version.
    I would do a +clean install+ of 10.6 to another hard drive and fully update that and test things out. Then, clone/backup that with SuperDuper (safety net) and install software (10.6 upgrade editions that are compatible only).
    You may have something left in your system or installed that is corrupt, not compatible. Even a bad USB cable or device.
    Then import (Migrate) or hand copy your home account from backup (data is usually fine, thinking of /account/Library/ items.
    Creating a new user account can also be helpful to test a system, but first do a clean install so you know you are only using Apple OS.

    Palo Alto Joins the Ban Against          
             Non-Recyclable Materials
           This Spring, Palo Alto joined the list of more than 30 cities and counties in California who are making good on their efforts toward reducing their greenhouse gas emissions
           by enacting partial or comprehensive bans on polystyrene (PS) foam and/or non-recyclable disposable foodservice containers. Around the same time, a California statewide ban on the use of PS containers was tabled before reaching the State Assembly floor. Representative
           Jerry Hill, one of AB 1358’s sponsors, pulled the bill due
           to concerns addressed in the Appropriations committee hearing of the bill, regarding the fiscal impacts which
           were not addressed in bill’s contents.
           Largely represented by the California Restaurant Association, opponents of AB 1358 lobbied legislative representatives and argued there would be a negative fiscal impact on struggling restaurant owners and their customers in order to accommodate the more expensive alternatives to PS containers.     There are the unquantifiable and “hidden” costs of contaminating our bodies and environment which would far surpass the fiscal impact on the plastics, restaurants and consumer industries. Studies published by the Foundation for Advancements in Science and Education have indicated that varying levels of styrene residues
             are present in 100% of all human fat tissue in the
             United States, as PS products are found to lose weight after in contact with hot or fatty/acidic foods and liquids, causing migration of the styrene into the food or fluid, ending up in the human body. On the high end, the levels were “one third of levels known to cause neurotoxic symptoms”. In the environment,
             PS is rarely recycled and does not biodegrade.     Supporting safer alternatives to polystyrene, in addition to the collection infrastructure and processing mechanisms for the compostable and recyclable products would help create more green jobs in the long run and would be a move in the right direction away from unnecessary harm
           to our health, our communities and our world. Keep your eyes open for a revised version of AB 1358 in Spring 2010!     For more information about polystyrene

  • Another problem with iTune 8 and Vista

    iTunes downloaded and updated. successfully on a Vista machine
    However, when I try to start iTunes, I get the messag " Preparing to install iTunes", closely follwed by "Windows is try to configure"
    Then after a while the system says it needs to reboot to complete the configuration.
    So I reboot , then after the restart I try to start iTunes and the same happens all over again
    Any help gratefully recived, I have tried re-installing
    Thanks

    I found a solution that at least worked in my case. The iTunes desktop shortcut may be pointing to the installation file. To see if iTunes really works, navigate to the iTunes folder under "Program Files." Double click on the file iTunes.exe and see if it starts up. If so, go back to the iTunes.exe file, and click on it with the RIGHT mouse button, hold the button down, and drag the file to your desktop. Select "create shortcut" from the menu. Now rename the new shortcut on your desktop to "iTunes." Now it should start correctly when you click on the new icon. Good luck!

  • Numerous problems with iTunes Match and synching.

    I've been having problem after problem after problem in the wake of subscribing to iTunes Match.
    1) iTunes unable to accurately determine how much space is being used on iPod harddrive (says harddrive is overcapacity by ridiculous amount of gigabites).
    2) Multiple matched songs unable to load to iPod. I count 27 songs that are faulty. I've had to delete songs in iTunes and re-download them.
    3) Songs showing up multiple times on iPod. Even some albums are showing up twice.
    This is seriously the most faulty Apple service / software upgrade I have ever had the misfortune of testing. I've deleted my iPod once thinking maybe it was just a faulty backup. No, it's just something inherent in the latest iTunes/iPod software upgrade or maybe it's something wrong with iTunes Match.
    Bottom line: things aren't working as smoothly as they are supposed to.

    I agree! I simply made a short playlist on my iPad, and a few minutes later, it had been duplicated 16,000 times on iPhone, iPad, and desktop Mac. It took a trip to apple store to correct. I had to turn itunes match off and then on again on each device. However it is recurring now just a few days later without me even making a new playlist.
    I too have had trouble with being unable to play MANY songs that have matched on my devices. Artwork that is present on the computer isnt going to other devices. Random crashes on iDevices.
    This product REALLY isnt ready for prime time. As an Apple fan-boy, I'm embarassed. C'mon Apple.

  • Problems with Itunes store and Paypal account.

    Hi - Recently I was purchasing an app from the store and it said there was a problem with my Paypal account. I use that account all the time and it was in good standing and nothing changed with the password etc.
    So I went to the Itunes account, edited the paypal account information as I noticed that it was showing my email address and not my paypal address. After finishing the process successfully it still shows my email address and not my paypal address (they are different). What gives? How do I fix this???

    Try changing your country selection in the iTunes Store page within iTunes to the one you are using now - seems resetting the country back to itself can help. Did for me.

  • Anyone NOT having problems with ITunes 8 and latest firmware update???

    I have really been put off updating to ITunes 8. The firmware update appears to be doing well. Is there anyone that uses a MacBook like myself who have had absolutely NO problems with new Itunes and firmware update? Answers on the back of a £50 note....

    Not having issues now that I have updated all i(hardware) firmware to version 2.1, two phones and an iPod Touch, all work fine (So Far) (knocking on wood). As far as iTunes goes I have mixed feelings. It's a bit faster and more stable, however they removed the "Burn CD" ability from the software. That blows a bit as I would make CD's from some of my play lists to play in the car. Yes I can dock my devices in the car, but as a matter of convenience it's easier to fire up the CD when your in a rush.

  • Need help urgently with OS X and Windows 7

    I need help urgently.
    I installed Windows 7 on my macbook pro with OS X Lion. After installing Windows7, I accidently converted the basic volumes to dynamic volumes and now i can't even boot to OS X.
    Please help me how to recover my OS X Lion. If I have to delete Windows and bootcamp partitions, it is OK.
    I just want to get back my OS X bootable.
    Thanks

    I could see OS X and Windows partitions if I hold down Option key before changing the partitions to Dynamic partitions from Basic in Windows 7.
    Now can't see OS X partiton and only see Winodws partition but when I tried to boot onto Windows7 , I got BSOD and macbook pro restart.
    Please help
    The usual reason for the OSX partition to be invisible under these circumstances is that it has been trashed by Windows.
    Do you have a backup?

  • TS1424 Anyone have problems with iTune purchases and functions when overseas?

    I am in Israel, been here for three weeks and had no problems with apps updates, purchases,etc.
    suddenly it says that I cannot coplete transactions because PayPal is declining payments.
    However a quick check with PayPal shows that my account is in order and it should NOT be a problem.
    There is a suggestion that being in another country is related to the problem.
    Is this Possible ?

    I have this exact problem.  Also affects any app that is using map services (like foursquare).  I've had Apple replace the phone (didn't help), had Verizon replace the SIM card (didn't help), and so I am still trying to solve this while Apple and Verizon point at each other and say that the other one is the problem.
    Sorry no solution, but I hope one pops up here on this thread!

  • I need help badly with my ibook and palm pilot

    Good day. I recently fixed my ibook and my palm to sync with each other. I configured my palm to sync with entourage. I then realized that it would be much better that if I sync my palm pilot with the palm desktop. Gow do I now reverse this? How do i cancel entourage to sync with my pal pilot. please advise. need help badly on this. thanks... i just like to feep my files organized and i find it difficult using entourage...my palm pilot is a palm TX...

    I also have a Palm handheld. I use iCal and Address Book more than Entourage. This is what I did:
    At first, I tried to adapt to Palm Desktop. I didn't like it, so I looked for the *iSync Conduit*. I found it and installed it. Then, I ignored the Palm desktop software (except the HotSync utility) and have used iSync with iCal and Address Book since.
    I know that doesn't answer the question about switching from Entourage, but Desktop isn't that great either. iSync is what I recommend.
