Another Newbee with Artwork Problems

My feed seems to be working ok, my podcasts are showing up in itunes, but the artwork never shows. Any suggestions, or could someone check my feed. Here's the feed address:
http://podcast.getfitpod.com/rss2.aspx
Dell Windows 2000

The URL to your artwork is invalid:
http%3a%2f%2fmedia.podcastingmanager.com%2f71509-3378%2fDefaultImage%2fEpisode+3 .jpg
All those weird % numbers at the beginning and elsewhere are causing the problem. Looks like whatever you copied the URL from used some kind of odd characters instead of : and \
Fix that and your artwork should show up in a few days.

Another type of artwork problem.

I've seen issues with artwork not displaying on the ipod after resyncing the ipod.
My issue is that I do everything manually. I just added some songs I've had for a few years to my itunes from different CD's of mine. I can easily find the album artwork to display on itunes, and I have them all updated. But when I manually transfer those new songs to the ipod, there is no artwork.
This is a recent issue, but I just noticed. I went an looked and the problem started in about August of this year. I noticed alot of music I previously owned that I just added has album artwork in itunes, but not on the ipod.

I have 14000+ songs on my ipod, 75% of which not showing artwork.
*Why is artwork not showing on my iPod when it's there in iTunes?*
iTunes will display a cover in many of it's views provided at least one track from the album has embedded artwork. The iPod appears to load only the artwork from track one to create the cover flow and album views which means that it can sometimes fail to display art for albums even when you can see the art in iTunes. Further, when tracks are played on the iPod, artwork is displayed if and only if it exists in the currently playing track, so track one may show art while track two does not.
*How to find tracks without artwork*
To find all the tracks without artwork so that you can update them you can try http://www.stum.de/itunes-find-tracks-without-artwork/ for Windows or http://dougscripts.com/itunes/scripts/ss.php?sp=trackswithoutartwork for Macs. Use Google, Amazon, Discogs etc. to locate relevant images. Ideally these should be square, 320x320 pixels or above and borderless to give the best results in the various menus. If you have artwork for some tracks of an album, but not others, find the album in the main music folder, select a track with artwork, right-click (Option-Click for Macs) on the art & click copy, then select all the tracks of the album, use CTRL-I or Command-I to *Get Info* and then paste the image into the artwork box.
I say 320x320 because I believe (from using TouchCopy) that it's the size used in the iPod cache so if you're going to crop or resize you might as well work to that size. Otherwise 200x200 is probably good enough.
*Rebuild artwork cache*
Sometimes the artwork cache becomes corrupt and fails to show correct artwork, even when this is properly set up in iTunes. To rebuild the artwork cache, connect your iPod to iTunes. Locate the iPod in the Sources pane on the left-hand side, then select the Music tab. Remove the tick from *Display album artwork on your iPod*, sync the iPod, reselect the option & sync again.

Another user with publishing problems -- proof that it is .Mac related

Just before Christmas I started getting the dreaded "Publish Error: There was an error updating .Mac" message every time I published. I read all the previous posts, even the ones dating back to October. I think I can conclusively show that the problem is on the .Mac backend, and not at all on my computer. Here is what I did: first, I created a temporary .Mac account; second, I moved my Domain file for safe keeping and did not replace it; third, I logged into the Guest User account that is now available in Leopard. I then attempted to publish a single page website from iWeb from both my normal login and the guest login to both my normal .mac account and the temporary one. (To switch between .Mac accounts I used the system preferences panel when iWeb was not running). The results are as follows:
.......................Regular .Mac.......Temporary .Mac
Normal Login..Publish Failed......Publish Succeeded
Guest Login.....Publish Failed......Publish Succeeded
This tells me that there is no problem on my computer, or with my network connection, and the problem is squarely on the .Mac side of things.
I sent this message off to the standard help page, and got the standard form letter back. In reply I asked them to reset my .Mac account so it would appear "new". I'll see what they say.
It would be interesting to see how many other people with "publish" problems can repeat this test.
-=[doug]=-

I've done what appears to be the standard littany of things:
1) Confirmed that I am running the latest version of iWeb (2.02) on 10.5.1 (although the problem persists when using my backup of 10.4.10 that includes the ilife update)
2) Changed my .Mac password, even though it was less than 20 characters
3) Published all of my previous website to the temp .mac (in chunks to avoid the space limitations)
4) Successfully published my site to a folder
5) Successfully uploaded that folder to my iDisk
6) Attempted to republish and republish all multiple times
7) Deleted iWeb's plist
8) rebooted
9) logged out and back into my .Mac account
10) confirmed that there is no password protection on my site
11) confirmed that there are no comments on my site
12) deleted assets.[membername].plist from the Domain file
13) Confirmed that my password in Keychain is correct
14) Run Keychain First Aid
15) deleted Sites.RSS from my iDisk
16) deleted the website and index.html from the iDisk
So, I have done a fair amount of ground work here, and am not just spouting off against Apple/.Mac. However, I still claim that the fact that I can successfully publish to a temporary .Mac account while the exact same iWeb content fails when being published to my normal .Mac account implies that there is something wrong with my .Mac account -- it is almost as if Apple is trying to eliminate its paying customers (since there are no problems with the free account).

Yet another Newbee having Airport problems

I am new to mac and also my macbook. I have been reading thru the discussions trying to find an answer to my problem. I believe I am not alone! I have a Belkin modem/router and although all my setups say I have Airport connection, I can open Internet Connect and select Airport and my network and it say that I have connection. But as soon as I loose the Ethernet cable.. guess what... No connection!!! PLEASE someone help the NewBee Aussie!

Well I have several macs (and PCs) of different kinds all connecting happily to a number or wireless networks. So OSX works fine so dont expect any 'fix' from Apple anytime soon because there isn't anything for them to fix! I suppose there is an outside chance that there is a problem with your Macbooks wireless card but I think it unlikely, you'd have to try to connect to someone else's network to be sure. In my experience if the airport icon in the menu bar shows you are connected but you can't get an IP address this is almost always either a router glitch which will normally go away if you restart it, or a password problem which should be reported by OSX but often isn't. Firstly I would check the router and its settings. Unfortunately the newer the router the more mechanisms it will probably have to stop people connecting so a good strategy is to start with no security and take it step by step from there. Also make sure you have the latest firmware upgrade applied from the manufacturers website, there usually will be one. 'Auto' -ing everything that can is also a good starting point. If your router keeps logs of traffic enabling these can provide a useful source of diagnostics. Of course once it is working you must introduce at least some form of encryption for your own peace of mind, which brings me neatly on to the next point: passwords. There is a big problem with WEP (well several actually!) in that the way the router translates an english phrase into hex is not always the same as the way the mac does it. So you either need to enter the same hex string into the router and the mac (prefixed by $ for the mac, this is what tells it it is getting hex), or sometimes you can see the hex equivalent generated by the router and then just type that in to the mac. The hex key will be 26 characters long for 128bit WEP eg 23f45fa1f1ba91a6241f7f0eff However if there is not a good reason not to use WPA or WPA2 (such as other older kit you need to connect) then this is much better. Set your router to WPA-PSK (TKIP) or WPA2-PSK (AES) and the Mac will recognise what is required and ask you for the passphrase. In this case you CAN use the same english language phrase in the router and the mac as it always seems to work.
Finally we need to make sure that any bad stuff we've done before is not messing us up now. Trashing the preferences as described in the earlier post is a good plan. Also open your keychain with the KeychainAccess utility (in yr Utilities folder) and delete any wireless network entries that have been saved in there. Stick with it it can be sorted out its just a matter of working methodically step by step until you are successful.

I guess another person with RAM problems

I'll start from the very beginning. I ordered the rest of my new comp two weeks ago, Neo Platinum and 3200+ newcastle. I finally recieved them the thursday after I ordered them and built it that night. For RAM, because of the 754 only having 3 RAM slots I traded 2 Apacer 3200 256MB sticks for one Corsair XMS 3200 512MB and included with it 2 Infineon 3200 128MB sticks. It succesfully posted. So I went to install XP on a formatted HDD, which took 4 different copies. The first was having many corrupted files and and so I went on to a copy of home which also had trouble loading and BSOD a few times, then another copy of pro and finally the last copy of pro, which BSOD many times, including during installation so I had to redo it, though it eventual was installed. The first two times it started up it gave me a BSOD on stratup though the third went fine. The next restart it BSOD'ed only once and it was this way for a few more restarts. It would also BSOD when changing things in programs such as resolution and mozilla firefox would crash very very often. I noticed that the two infineon sticks were causing the clockrate to go down to 333Mhz and took them out, though I still had general instability it was better than nothing while I tried to figure it out. A few days later I asked a friend and he imediatly said RAM, he thought it was the clockrate not syncing right. I checked and it was 200Mhz, no problems there. Later I made a post about this and asking for my RAM timings to be evaluated, somebody mentioned using Memtest86 if I had any problems with RAM. That night I let it go and in 7 hours it had 14000 errors, 300 errors each retest. I swaped in the infineon RAM and got only a few errors each time, so I tried to see which stick was not working. Both would go fine when alone but there were still a few errors each time I tried both at the same time. I was using slot 1 when only testing one stick, and slot 1 and 2 when testing two sticks. So the expensive Corsair RAM was always getting lots of errors and the infineon got a few errors but always on slot 2, so I thought that it was bad and I got an RMA number from newegg.com. I then had a friend with a p4 come over and I tested the RAM on his computer and it all worked fine, including the RAM which got over 300 errors each test, so I was sure it was my motherboard, but I still traded him back his Corsair for my 2 Apacer, which I put in alone, slots 1 and 2. I was curious and ran memtest86 again last night and got no errors at all, for 7 hours. So the cheap Infineon erros, but only slot #2, the expensive Corsair errors a lot, but only on my motherboard, and the cheap Apacer doesn't error at all. So is this the same problem everybody else has had? Should I keep my motherboard, or should I RMA it? I really don't want to be without a computer for 7-10 days. Will it stay stable now or when I plan on getting some a Gig of nice RAM in the future, will I get the same errors?
(NOTE: on memtest86, any error would happen on test 5 of 7, Block move, 64 moves, cached)
I thank anybody at all who posts very much for at least giving their time to my problems

Another User with HND Problems

I've just installed my WRT610N router today and used LELA for setup. When I went to set up HND I installed Network Magic as I found in instructions on the Linksys web site. I was able to do the initial setup of HND, however, when I went in latter to adjust settings, I received a notice that my subscription expired (I thought it was supposed to be 30 days, not about 30 minutes) and I was asked if I wanted to purchase it. Since I've only just begun trying to set it up, I wasn't sure if I wanted it yet, although it was the primary driver behind purchasing the new router. I still thought I should see if it met my needs to protect my kids while on the Internet. In any event, I did not purchase it at that time and I had to step away for a few hours to do something else. Upon returning I've tried to continue where I left off, but now I get the message that HND is registered to another account and it won't let me change the settings (at least it no longer asks me to purchase it while I'm still in the trial period).
I noticed on this forum that some people indicated they used LELA to configure HND so I uninstalled Network Magic and reinstalled LELA, but I cannot see any way to configure or control HND in LELA. I therefore reinstalled Network Magic and am still getting the same message. I have looked on the Linksys web site but don't see a link for live chat for support as some users have indicated they used, so I'm not sure what I am doing wrong either in trying to get support or trying to get HND configured.
This is a very frustrating set up process for a feature that will cost almost $60 to purchase and I'm also concerned that Linksys seems to push purchase of another $50 product (Network Magic Pro) to manage it. But right now, I'd just like to get HND configured so I can move forward with seeing if it will do what I need it to do.
Please help!
Thanks.

I was able to get a live chat session with Linksys and they had me install the latest version of LELA. This version of LELA did have the ability to access the HND parental controls, however, now when I log in, it inidcates the license for HND expired on December 26, 2008. Since I recently purchased the router and installed it on 8/19/2009, I don't understand how the 30 day trial license could expire 8 months before I got the router.
A second session with live chat had me reset the router, which did not work (drastic last resort as I indicated to the chat support agent since it would require reconfiguration of the router to work again) I didn't think it would work as I believed the license information is in some account somewhere.
Can anyone help as I'd like to start testing HND to see if it will do what I hope it will and right now it does nothing.
Thanks.

Another user with login problems to forums

I didn't want to jump into either of these threads with "me too and..."
http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=366881&tstart=0
http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=366684&tstart=0
but me too and...
Whenever I come directly to the discussion boards by typing in discussions.apple.com in Safari (1.3.2) address bar OR typing support.apple.com and then clicking the discussions link (in the purple bar) I'm greeted as guest. I click login and Safari helpfully fills in the details then several things happen (no pattern found yet).
1. I'm prompted for my login again and told the user name or password was wrong. It will then accept the next autofill by Safari. Forums function normally.
2. It greets me "Welcome Marlinespike" in the sidebar and prompts me to login again. Clicking any other link (e.g. My Questions, or iTunes) takes me to the forums and I'm not prompted again. Forums function normally.
3. It greets me "Welcome Marlinespike" in the sidebar and says "you only have read (or was it guest?) privileges and presents me with a page to create an account. Ditto 2 in that I can click anywhere and bypass the "please make an account".
The problem occurs every time I navigate to the forums home. If I leave SAfari running but close all windows, it'll happen.
I don't know if this is related to recently getting Safari 1.3.2. My Safari was 1.2 until last week. This login issue has only started for me in the past week. Also, I can click a link in the forums and will get a 404 not found error, but if I refresh the page (CMD-R), I get it.

FYI, since downgrading my OS back to X.3.8 and Safari to 1.2 I've not had any login difficulties yesterday or today. Also have not had any threads "not found" to be found upon refreshing. Perhaps there's some weird java thing going on with the forum logins that affects SAfari 1.3?

Another user with applet problems

I have a (should be simple) learning application that makes a window 400x400 pixels in size and fills it with random noise continuously. This works fine when run with the java command line, but when included in a html page I get these errors;
bq. load: Engine.class can't be instantiated. \\ java.lang.InstantiationException: Engine \\ at java.lang.Class.newInstance0(Class.java:340) \\ at java.lang.Class.newInstance(Class.java:308) \\ at sun.applet.AppletPanel.createApplet(AppletPanel.java:779) \\ at sun.applet.AppletPanel.runLoader(AppletPanel.java:708) \\ at sun.applet.AppletPanel.run(AppletPanel.java:362) \\ at java.lang.Thread.run(Thread.java:619)
(in browsers this causes a lock-up, with the appletviewer it simply shows the errors)
My code is based heavily on this example file;
http://java.sun.com/docs/books/tutorial/2d/images/examples/JumbledImageApplet.java
which as I understand it allows it to run as both an application and an applet without changes
My code is...
bq. import java.io.; // Edit: These first few lines all end in a star, but the forum's treating that as bold syntax so I've removed it\\ import java.net.; \\ import java.awt.; \\ import java.awt.event.; \\ import java.awt.image.; \\ import javax.imageio.; \\ import javax.swing.; \\ import java.util.Random; \\ public class Engine extends JApplet { \\ private static int w = 400; \\ private static int h = 400; \\ private Canvas canvas; \\ private static Engine holder; \\ private static BufferedImage bi; \\ public static void doProcess( BufferedImage bi ) { \\ Random rand = new Random(); \\ while( true ) { \\ for( int i = 0; i < 1000; i ++ ) \\ bi.setRGB( rand.nextInt( w ), rand.nextInt( h ), rand.nextInt( 0xFFFFFF ) ); \\ render( ); \\ } \\ } \\ public Engine( int ww, int hh ) { \\ w = ww; \\ h = hh; \\ } \\ public void init( ) { \\ buildUI( ); \\ bi = getBI( ); \\ doProcess( bi ); \\ } \\ public void buildUI( ) { \\ canvas = new Canvas( w, h ); \\ add( canvas ); \\ } \\ public BufferedImage getBI( ) { \\ return canvas.getBI( ); \\ } \\ public static void main( String s[] ) { \\ JFrame f = new JFrame( "Processing..." ); \\ f.addWindowListener( new WindowAdapter( ) { \\ public void windowClosing( WindowEvent e ) { \\ System.exit( 0 ); \\ } \\ } ); \\ holder = new Engine( w, h ); \\ holder.buildUI( ); \\ holder.resize( w, h ); \\ f.add( holder ); \\ f.pack( ); \\ f.setResizable( false ); \\ f.setVisible( true ); \\ bi = holder.getBI( ); \\ doProcess( bi ); \\ } \\ public static void render( ) { \\ holder.repaint( ); \\ } \\ } \\ class Canvas extends Component { \\ private BufferedImage bi; \\ int w, h; \\ public Canvas( int ww, int hh ) { \\ w = ww; \\ h = hh; \\ bi = new BufferedImage( w, h, BufferedImage.TYPE_INT_RGB ); \\ } \\ public BufferedImage getBI( ) { \\ return bi; \\ } \\ public Dimension getPreferredSize( ) { \\ return new Dimension( w, h ); \\ } \\ public void paint( Graphics gwin ) { \\ gwin.drawImage( bi, 0, 0, null ); \\ } \\ }
I'm new to the Java language and as I say this is based on an example file, so any cleanup recomendations are welcome (I think this is the most complicated way of setting pixels on a window I've ever seen!)
Edited by: DavidJE on Sep 19, 2007 9:58 AM

ok, I found the problem;
my Engine class only had an (int,int) constructor, and it seems the applet viewer doesn't like that. Adding an empty () constructor fixes it.
There are some new problems now, but I think I'll be able to solve them.

Driver issues *yes i know, another noob with diver problems*

So im not a total noob, I know my way around things. I have a centro that I cannot get synced. I have installed latest ver of hotsync and I am runnin XP pro (32 bit). When I hit the hotsync button it pops up multiple times asking me for the driver which seems to be non-existant for some reason. I dont know where my original disc is and I would love to get the cable working. As it stands now I can do pretty much everything though my SD card. it behaves the same as it does on my vista ultimate 64 bit install but I know that wont work with it. I do have ubuntu 64 bit installed on my desktop and ubuntu worked seamlessly with the software built in.
Post relates to: Centro (AT&T)

I would try a complete uninstall and then reinstall with the following procedure:
You should first make a copy of your data to have just in case something
happens. You can find your data files by going to C:\Program Files\Palm or
Palm One. Highlight your Palm Desktop username and right click and copy.
Then go to your PC desktop, right click on a blank spot and select paste.
If this is the first time you are installing Palm desktop and encountering a problem, skip the previous step.
For Palm desktop 6.2, look in the following location for the folders and files, my documents, PalmOS desktop. You will find the username folder in this location.
Now you want to uninstall Palm Desktop and remove everything that has to do
with Palm Desktop from your computer. Like the above folder, delete the Palm folder. Once this is done, you will need to delete some registry keys
from your PC Operating System registry.
Word of warning, going here and deleting the wrong thing can cause your PC
to not start up, crashing and deletion of programs and data. If you feel
you are unsure of yourself, see if you have a friend that can help you or a
PC technician that you can pay to help you. This will show them everything
they need to delete. To retain your current Registry settings, we need to do a backup of the Registry.
On the PC, go to start and run type "regedit" without quotes
Highlight MY COMPUTER, go to File --> export. Should pop up with a Save As
box. Current location is fine should be in My Documents or you can change to a location you will remember. In the file name box, type "Regbackup[todaysdate]" i.e. Regbackup07072008. Next, the hard part.
The easiest way to make sure your working with the correct key, highlight the key i.e. palm quick install, and press delete on your keyboard. It will ask you, are
you sure. Say yes. Do the same thing for all keys below.
If you make a mistake, stop what you are doing. And call a PC technician.
BUT do not turn off your computer.
The reg keys are as follows (Note: some of theses reg keys will not be here
but if they are delete them)
* HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\U.S. Robotics\Palm Quick Install
* HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\U.S. Robotics\PalmOne File Transfer
* HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\U.S. Robotics\Pilot Desktop
* HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Palm
* HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Palm, Inc.
* HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\PalmDesktopAutorun
* HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\palmOne
* HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\PalmSource
* HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\PalmSource or anything else that says palm
Next reboot your computer
Then reinstall your Palm desktop from the CD and do a hotsync. If it asks
you for a username and you synced your device before, put in 'test" if you
did not sync before you create a hotsync name.

Export a report from another page with parameter problems...can it be done?

Hi All,
I have used Dennis Excel pkg which works fine if on the same page... however, I want users to enter two dates in my items
P5_FIRST_DATE
P5_SECOND_DATE
I have manged to create a button that will execute the report on the second page without parameters
by choosing the redirect to url and this does work...
however, when i parameterize the url, it still works but does not send across the values
here is what i am using in the url
#a href="f?p=102:7:3458199286078769:FLOW_EXCEL_OUTPUT_R2491013790251874" ##a href="f?p=102:0:3458199286078769:DOWNLOAD_EXCEL:NO::T_REGION_ID,T_EXCEL_NAME,T_PAGE,PFIRST_DATE:R2491013790251874,my_report,7,:P5_FIRST_DATE"
This does work... but does not putt the parameters across
Can this be done? or is there a better way of doing this. I dont really want them to see the report because it just a list of urns with dates which the user enters which they will always want to download
so i just want them to add the dates and download
thanks for your time in reading this
cheers

Fazlar,
This is how you do it:
http://apex.oracle.com/pls/otn/f?p=23521:8
You should never name your items
P5_FIRST_DATE
and put the item on the page 8. This is confusing and costs a lot of time to find out an item
doesn't exist.

I am receiving a connection error and can't send out yahoo e-mails. I can surf and use another browser with no problem what happened all of a sudden with my firefox?

I can't send out e-mails! I get a connection error message.
I can receive messages, surf the web via Firefox.
The only related thing to this occurrence is that I received a notice from Firefox recommending that I disable a Skype extension, which I did. Not sure if this is connected.

If you are still having trouble, post the error. (The error you've posted here is for the wrong server.)
Well, I had already done those things before. The message I got when I tried is:
An error occurred while sending mail. The mail server responded: From address not verified - see http://help.yahoo.com/l/us/yahoo/mail/original/manage/sendfrom-07.html. Please verify that your email address is correct in your Mail preferences and try again.
I had input the email address without the @verizon.net extension. That's exactly how I input it in the pop3 set-up for receiving e-mail and it works there.
So I went to the link that is referenced in the error message. It basically had me go to my Yahoo mail account page. I was directed to add an account with a different email address. A verification code was then sent to me via email that I then had to input into the new account's setup page in order to activate my Yahoo mail for smtp use. Once I input the code and validated I was then able to send e-mails just fine with Thunderbird. I was able to use my @verizon.net email address and not the new account I had created.
Bottom line - I had to activate/validate my account before I could send email. I had not read about this anywhere when trying to figure out what was wrong.

Problem with artwork in iTunes 7

Since i got iTunes 7 a strange error started in my ipod video 60gb(fully updated):
First, the ipod was not showing any artwork. Then i tried to uncheck the "display artwork" field, and press apply. Then check the field againd, and press apply again. It started to optimize my artwork, but by the middle of the process, this error happened: "The ipod "Flavio" cannot be updated. An unknown error occurred
(-50).". I started searching in the internet what could this error be, and found that it is a communication problem, or something like that, but could be caused by bad (corrupted maybe) pictures, photos or artwork. I erased them all (even all the artwork) and tried the uncheck-check process again, and the same error happened. I read that it could be lack of space in my computer, but right now there are 6.6gb of free space in my c: (is it enough?) and the error still happens.
Today i plugged my ipod on a computer with iTunes 6, tried the uncheck-check process again, and surprise, it worked! Unplugged the ipod, tried playing the only song with artwork remaining, and it worked too! So i came back home and tried again with itunes 7, but the error happened again, tried the song and the artwork wasn't showing again... Ok, so i tried with a laptop, itunes 6, and it worked perfectly again, then i thought "The problem can be happening just on my computer". Updated the laptop itunes, tried unchecking-checking again, and it seemed to work, no errors, but when i played the song on ipod, the artwork was gone again! Just like when the error happened... Tried again, no errors, no artwork, tried back on my computer, error, no artwork.
2 itunes 6 -> worked, 2 itunes 7 -> problems. The only possible conclusion is that there is a bug in this new itunes, or a new way of dealing with artwork (by itunes, not by the users). Am i right? Or can anyone help me?
I was thinking about restoring, but as i am adding everything by hand, nothing automatic, it could take a lot of time to choose everything again, and to make all the playlists again... And after seeing that this could be a bug, and could happen again, i decided to post everything here before restoring, to see if there is a better solution.
Thank you for helping! (or at least for reading this huge post, and sorry for my bad english...)

there is some problem with i tunes 7(the7.0.1 patch also) in that any artwork found by i tunes is visible whilst viewing tracks in your library if you transfer said tracks to your ipod then the artwork is not transferred,also it you use album artwork as your screensaver then artwork found by i tunes is not used. i can only think that something is not beeing written to the id tags of the tracks. any artwork found by yourself and dragged into the relevant box on the track or album information screen(called up by apple+i)is seen on itunes and by the screensaver. i have spoken to apple support and they assured me that they would get back to me as they had to investigate.that was a month ago. if the problem really bugs you then you can drag artwork found by itunes onto your desktop and then back into the tracks id screen. this remedys the problem but is tedious to say the least. hope this helps

I have a wireless network at home. I run my iphone and ipad on it with no problems. Just purchased a MacBook Pro, and now my wi-fi keeps disconnecting and i get an error message saying another device is using the same IP address. What does all this mean?

Yes another user with problem with Apple Mobile Device Support, I am getting the error message: Service 'Apple Mobile Device'(Apple Mobile Device) failed to start. Vertify that you have sufficient privileges to start system service....

Yes another user with problem with Apple Mobile Device Support, I am getting the error message: Service 'Apple Mobile Device'(Apple Mobile Device) failed to start. Vertify that you have sufficient privileges to start system service....I hit retry and it came up again. I hit ignore and it prompted me to hit finish so Itunes can open. I looked thru alot of these posts on here to try and resolve this problem myself but it's not working too well...I downloaded Itunes to my desktop so I can right click it with the program i downloaded called WinRAR. I extracted it and then went into the folder called Itunes64setup. I saw the file called AppleMobileDeviceSupport64 in there so I began to try and download it on it's own. Well that didn't work as I planned and got this error message:
Apple Mobile Device Support wasn't installed on your computer. The installer encountered errors before Apple Mobile Device Support could be configured. Your system has not been modified. To retry these operations at a later time,please run the installer again.
Well I tried to run it again and came up with the same message...I see that some people got great support to help them so I am hoping someone can help me as well. I know "b nor" is very qualfied and hopefully can help me! Please advise what I can do. Thank you

Had 3G, moved to 3GS. Backed up 3G and restored 3GS from backup with no problem. When I want to add songs, I get itunes message that the new iphone is synced to another computer and now wants to erase everything. How can I add music?

Had 3G, moved to 3GS. Backed up 3G and restored 3GS from backup with no problem on a Dell computer. But now when I want to add songs, I get itunes message of death that the new iphone is synced to another computer and now wants to erase everything. How can I add music without erasing everything on my new iphone?

Yes, I was aware of this but the phrase "Any items imported from audio CDs or acquired from other sources will not copy from your device to the iTunes library." is what worries me. Will this eliminate my Notes, Calendar Events, etc or will it apply mostly just to the music?
