An annoying little "Writing tags ... " problem
Has any one else run across this problem? I try to edit track information for any mp3 or mp4 by right clicking the title and using the Get Info tab. A popup window with the tabs SUMMARY INFO VIDEO SORTING OPTIONS LYRICS ARTWORK appears. I try editing one field, like adding my own album art, or changing or adding a composer or genre and iTunes takes upwards of 2 minutes "Writing tags ..." for each track. Has anyone experienced this problem? Is there a known work around? Is there a config file somewhere that I can do a batch edit?
as always TIA .... JON
This method did not work for me. http://web.mac.com/osc
I have used iWeb for my business' website since I can do it myself for MUCH cheaper than paying someone. However, these white lines make a professional image impossible.
This is not the kind of problem I would expect from Apple. I am considering returning my iLife software (even though I know they won't let me) because it's defective. I've even tried reinstalling it... didn't work.
Sometimes the resizing will work for me but most of the times it won't. Please help.

[Athlon64] Annoying little problem! PLease helpHi Ben.
Thank you very much vor your replay
but I still can get it
Here the code
on testAlphaChannels sourceImage, cNewWidth, cNewHeight,
pRects
cSourceAlphaImage=sourceImage.extractAlpha()
newImage = image(cNewWidth, cNewHeight, 32)
newImage.useAlpha = FALSE
newAlphaImage = image(cNewWidth, cNewHeight, 8)
repeat with i=1 to pRects.count
destRect=......
newImage.copyPixels(sourceImage, destRect, pRects
newAlphaImage.copyPixels(cSourceAlphaImage, destRect,
pRects,
[#ink:#darkest])
end repeat
newImage.useAlpha = TRUE
newImage.setAlpha(newAlphaImage)
textMember = new(#bitmap)
textMember.image=newImage
end
But the result is not correct. O my example
http://www.lvivmedia.com/fontPr/Fontproblems3.jpg
image to the left is
created on background image, and image to the right - with
code above
What is wrong in the code, I quoted above?
Any help will be appreciated

How to finally get rid of those annoying little plus sign boxes in a table
Hello everyone!
Pages treat table cells as a _*TEXT BOX*_
If those +*annoying little plus sign boxes*+ are popping up, do this to get rid of them:
1. Open Inspector
2. _*Select all*_ on your table
3. Click on T
4. Click TEXT
5. GO to _*INSET MARGIN*_ and SLIDE until the little plus sign boxes disappear.
FINALLY the boxes are gone!Hej Fruhulda
Obviously you are one of the fortunate ones who has never had to deal with the dreaded little box with an X in it!
All of us here were seeing it all the time up until yesterday and it was driving us CRAZY!!
Imagine this:
You are trying to get some work done in Pages
In a table
You add some text to a cell
Then you find out that you have to make the table smaller because
suddenly you have to insert another table on the page
As you are making the table smaller
AHHHHHHHHHHHHH
Inside the cell with the text *a little box with an X in it appears* and will not go away.
If you are working with MANY cells in a table
You are looking at A LOT OF LITTLE BOXES with X's in them.
Suddenly you feel *SEA SICK* looking at all those little boxes
You read the entire iWork Manual line by line BUT cannot find anything to HELP
Your project is not a numbers candidate
You have been a mac user for YEARS and YEARS
You know your macs, you know your mac issues
WHAT TO DO
I am sure you can see the dilemma we were in!
Then all of us realized that this is similiar to a text box issue and cell padding issue from our Adobe CS suite programs and sure enough it WAS!!
That is basically the problem ALL of US were having.
So if our solution can help anyone - *WE ARE GLAD*
because they were probably getting *SEA SICK TOO* trying to get some work done
Thank your lucky stars you did not ever have this issue pop up on a deadline!!
Have a great day
( I miss my Östermalmstorg FIKA in the afternoon)

So two days into my S6 experience and this is annoying me! If you click on it you get this These are various numbers - just out of interest the Customer Srv number is for PAYG - I am on refresh. Despite my best efforts I can't delete this O2 icon, if I select edit on the screen it's on the little delete icon that appears on other icons isn't on the O2 icon and and if i press and hold there is no delete option to drag it to. Not a big deal I know - but anyone have any ideas how to remove it?

Writing Tags in iTunes Results in "Invalid Public Atom"
I've been using QT to export some TV shows to my iTunes library and in turn to my iPhone. I'm using the QT "export to iPhone" setting.
Anyway, they play fine after I add them to iTunes and also play fine on my iPhone. The problem starts when I try to change the info for the shows. Changing them from "Movie" to "TV show" and adding the Episode and Season. More and more lately that process has pretty much locked up while "writing new tags" and I've had to force quit iTunes. After that the movies will no longer open and get the "Invalid Public Atom" error.
Anyone have any ideas? It's weird as sometimes that "writing new tags" process is nearly instantaneous, but I know that if it's taking too long it will result in a newly corrupted movie.I can confirm this. In experimenting with copying some of my video files into iTunes, 3 out of 6 files were corrupted. The first two I canceled after the "writing tags..." was taking over 5 minutes and resulted in the public atom being corrupted. The third finished after a couple minutes but resulted in a file that previously played fine in Quicktime now heavily corrupted in both iTunes and QT- pixization, frames being merged, long "green" patches as if iframes were randomly removed. I had imported the files into my library and was setting Genre tags when this occurred, both in the library itself and via the "get info" interface. I'm surprised to find that iTunes maintains file information actually in the file, which clearly runs the risk of corrupting the file each time metadata is changed and an aspect of the file, I assume the header, is rewritten. Lucky I believe in backups.
Some information about my configuration: Files are not copied locally but are on a nfs mount of a linux dataserver. All files are H.264 mpeg4 encodes and a mixture of Handbrake backups and encodes via Compressor. All the files are over 1G but under 3G. Based just on this data, there is not a pattern in the failures. iTunes 8.0.2(20), Leopard 10.5.6, Macbook Pro2,2 -
Where can I get an Html error report of all the syntax and tag problems?
Where can I get an Html error report of all the syntax and tag problems?
Thank you for your answer.
Where is the DW validation for me?
My files are in my computer so I don’t have an external URL.
File > validation > as xml = closes DW... Maybe because it is not a correct command for HTML,
And
Window > results > validation = gives a partial mistakes (e.g. shows an open tag without closing tag, but doesn’t show a closing tag without an open tag).
Thank you. -
I have a itunes library on a external USB drive and if I alter the info of a song or movie a writing tag progress window opens and takes forever, blocking itunes in the process.
Is there a way of speeding this up.I still have this issue as well (I posted a previous thread with about the same response you got here). I'm ripping my DVD collection to an external drive to play through my xBox360 and although I don't get 30 minutes, it's at least 10-15 minutes.
The goofy thing is once I change one attribute and after the beach ball goes away, I can change all other attributes instantly.
It's like the first time, iTunes goes through some "reindexing" process, then once it does that, it's fine. I can also see my drive thrashing the entire time this process runs.
I REALLY hope Apple addresses this sometime soon. -
I have been writing tags for my tv shows. Sometimes they show up in Apple tv and sometimes they don't. Is there a way to get them to always show up.
I have two series of the same show both starting with a W but they are not appearing alphabetically on my itunes. Is there a way round this one.
ThanksI have been writing tags for my tv shows. Sometimes they show up in Apple tv and sometimes they don't. Is there a way to get them to always show up.
Newly added shows should show up immediately in the tv show list on the tv when viewed by date, peculiarly if the show is a show that you don't already have previous listings for, you will need to disconnect your library (choose another source) and reconnect to it before the show will show up under tv shows when listed by show and not date.
Also make sure you are adding data to the correct fields in the info window.
I have two series of the same show both starting with a W but they are not appearing alphabetically on my itunes. Is there a way round this one.
In itunes you can sort your media in many ways, to list shows alphabetically by show, click on the heading 'show', if you want to list them by episode name for example click on the heading "name"

How do I remove those annoying little words that appear at my tool tips?
How do I get rid of those little pop up words at the tips of my tools when I select objects.
They usually say "path" or "object"Those ‘annoying little words’ can be extremely useful if you are searching for anchors or trying to get things to snap properly.
They should definitely not be dismissed as ‘annoying’. -
i need to buy final cut pro software and i need it to support arabic writing the problem iam in germany the i tune here does not give you chance to choose the
languageIf you want the menus and dialogues of the app to be in Arabic, that's not possible, there is no Arabic version of this software.
If you just want to write Arabic language titles, etc., the language of the app is irrelevant, the input of different languages is handled by the OS, and Arabic input is always available.
All Apple software is multilingual, no matter where you buy it. For example, the user interface for Final Cut Pro can be switched among English, Chinese, French, German, and Japanese. -
Annoying little performance problem...
I just changed the font from the default to something else...just for the heck of it. And now when I type in code, there is an amazing amount of lag in the characters showing up in the editor vs my typing speed. And then I notice the CPU usage while typing shoots up by quite a bunch. I am sure this is not a normal problem in Jdeveloper. My machine has a 3.4 ghz P4 with 2 gb of DDR400 RAM. I am using JDK 5 Update 7. Any ideas what could be causing this to happen?
Hi Frank,
Thanks for giving it a shot. No its not something that happens after a while. It happens right away. I dont know what it is. Tomorrow in the morning I will revert back to the old font and see if I have a problem or not. It is rather weird. I dont remember experiencing this before. Would you suggest I do a clean install of JDeveloper?
Thanks. -

ITunes not writing tag info to file
Recently iTunes hasn't been writing the tag info to the mp3 files when I import a new cd. I've never had a problem with this until recently.
I'm using iTunes 6.0.5 on a Intel Mini 1.66 with OS 10.4.6. When I insert a new disc it shows the proper track, artist, album, etc info. It titles the tracks correctly and puts them in my iTunes library correctly. However, when I check the tag info in MediaRage it shows nothing! I don't think it's a problem with MediaRage because I tried to import the cds on my Powerbook and they import fine.
I discovered this when I recently needed to reformat my music harddrive. When I copied the files back into iTunes a bunch of tracks came up as unknown artist and album. When I checked them furhter I found they were the last 6 or 7 cds I had imported. So they went into iTunes initially with the correct info, but the tag info hadn't been written, so when I reimported them iTunes organized them into the unknown folder.
I've been able to work around this by using the convert id3 tags command immediately after importing a new cd. Then all the info shows up correctly in MediaRage. But I shouldn't have to do this extra step! I've updated to the latest version of iTunes in case the last version was corrupted somehow. That didn't help. I've looked for the iTunes preferences file but can't find it.
So sorry for the long ramble but I've searched everywhere and can't find a solution or even anyone else mentioning this problem.
HELP!

G4 Titanium Powerbook, Intel Mac Mini Mac OS X (10.4.6) ext WD 320gbIt's difficult to say what's causing this problem, although at this moment in time there still seem to be a lot of bugs with various software when running on Intel-based Macs.
Unfortunately, for some odd reason, iTunes writes ID3 v. 2.2 tags by default rather than the more acceptable v. 2.3 (or even 2.4). You might try ripping your CDs with Max using the provided (LAME) MP3 encoder. You should get more accurate rips to start with (using the paranoia ripper), and the highest qualtiy MP3s using the superior LAME encoder. Your files will have ID3 v. 2.4 tags written to them. You can also configure Max, in its preferences, to add files directly to your iTunes library upon encoding for perfect integration with iTunes. Hopefully this will work well for you and your files will retain their metadata. -
Two small but annoying 4.2.1 problems
I see some people are having really serious issues with WiFi and syncing and full-on device failure. The problems my iPod Touch is having are minor by comparison, but still annoying.
Problem 1 is the album art. I've never had any problems with the album art. But now there are some albums for which the art displays correctly when the iPod is on, but I'm listening in standby mode and hit the Home button, all I get is my wallpaper. The really weird thing is that this is happening ONLY to albums which I've tagged and added album art in iTunes SINCE THE 4.2.1 UPDATE. All the albums that were already on the iPod continue to display fine in both modes.
Problem 2 is videos tagged as TV Shows. They also always worked just fine, but since the 4.2.1 update not only can I not sort them by episode number, the iPod doesn't even seem to SEE the episode number - every video in the iPod is labeled "Episode 0". But all the info displays correctly in iTunes.
These problems aren't the end of the world, they're just annoying. But if anyone else is having these problems and knows how to correct them (or at least if they've been seen elsewhere and are being addressed by Apple) I'd appreciate it. Thanks.Hi there,
I've got a 3G 16GB and seem to have a similar problem. I've installed 4.2.1 and my GPS is not working. Triangulation is working, but I can't get a lock with the GPS. I've done some research on the net and it seems many are experiencing this. I've tried many suggested methods to fix it but nothing is working. If you find anything out please let me know! Is triangulation working for you?
Thanks!
