Artwork cut off?

I didn't always use the cookie cutter size pics for album artwork with my 30G 5G, and itunes would put them on my ipod just the way they were, whether they were rectangular or square or whatever shape they were. (For example: for the star wars imperial march song I just have a picture of darth vader, even though it didn't fit the cookie cutter size for album art it still would show the picture as is on my ipod.)Now with my new 80g classic its taking those types of pictures and stretching them or cutting the tops off them to get them to fit the one size fits all artwork square, even though in itunes the pictures appear not to be distorted or changed. So why aren't the pictures transferring the way they appear in itunes?

In most art packages you can resize a rectangle to a square. If it starts of at say 200 x 190 then it's still going to look pretty much the same at 200x200. It might even look OK if you've changed it from 200x150 to 200x200 depending on the content. If it looks squashed or distorted however then it is better to create a square larger than the whole image which you set to the background colour of the image, then paste the target image centered on top. You can also use a mix of cropping & resizing to make something you like.

Strokes on appearance is getting cut off when exporting for web & Devices

I'm a screen print artist using Adobe Illustrator CS5 in windows 7(blah!) to export images of our customers' artwork into a huge folder of images on a server. The images are then loaded into a program so that they can be viewed company-wide and by the customer.
Occasionally, when there is an appearance applied to text it seems to cut off the tops and/or bottoms of the outermost stroke.This seems to be only happening to text, and happens randomly and is very annoying. See the image attached.
it does this with both JPEG and PNG images, and whats more, changes when you adjust the image size. it either gets better or worse. I have to change the image size on every export so that they are all within our size requirements.
I have found that if you put the art into an envelope with all the settings at 0 and then export for web it prevents this from happening. However, that isn't very efficient as i need to be moving a ton of artwork a day, and I am not the only person who may be working on the Illustrator file.
Is there any setting either in illustrator or windows that may be causing this anomaly?

Try adding:
Effect >> Path >> Outline Object
So your type will still be editable
If that does not work you may want to:
Type: Create Outline
I only had this problem once before, on some snickerdoodle cookies package, and that was a script font. Might be related to the font you use.

Songs Cut Off Before Finished

Can anyone tell me why on my Mini songs occasionally stop abruptly before they finish and the next song begins?
The latest song to do this, which came off my CD, plays to completion on iTunes.
Thanks.

Hi all, I think I've figured out one solution to this problem. I have a 3rd Gen iPod and was having songs cut off. Random songs at random points near the end of the song. I've read a post here about deleting the artwork from the songs on the iPod, and it worked! Long story short: Use this script from www.dougscripts.com "removeallipodartwork" to delete all artwork from the iPod, not iTunes. iTunes is fine, only the iPod is having trouble with the little bits of artwork information. If you have any doubts, manually delete artwork from just a couple of songs, update your iPod and listen for the cut off (you can fast forward to near the end of the song). Believe me, I've tried everything else for the past 18 months or so. MP3, AAC, different quality, different iTunes versions, different iPod OS, restoring the iPod, I could go on. Hope this helps.

HT1296 Music being cut off

I'm having trouble with downloading music to my iPhone. The music downloads fine but some songs will be missing the last 20-30 seconds. After that time passes the next song will begin to play. Not every song is cut off. I've tried deleting the song then trying to download again but it still cuts off the last 20-30 seconds. The music bar moves but no music can be heard. I've deleted all my music, shut my phone off then downloaded the music again but still have the same issue. If I purchase the song from a different album in iTunes the songs fine but I get charged. iCloud still downloads the song missing the last 20-30 seconds. Im lost as to the cause.

If you have album artwork, try deleting it. It worked for me.

ITunes songs cut off early

Heyas;
So I have been going through my iTunes collection - backing up and getting missing artwork, etc. and I have noticed that several songs end early/get cut-off. This happened to one song a while back that was a download from the iTunes store. I figured the file somehow got corrupted so re-bought the song from the iTunes store. Now that it has happened to several songs I am suspicious that there must be another issue than one corrupt file.
The files that cut off early are AAC format. There may be some older MP3 formatted songs that are effected as well but I have not found any as of yet. The recently effected files are ones I imported from my CD collection; but as mentioned above, I have had issues with iTunes store songs as well.
I also recently deleted all the songs from my Windows 7 PC and transferred all the files from my Mac Mini (where I keep the 'master' copies), using 'home sharing'.
Thanks for taking the time to read this post
Any suggestions?
I use a Mac Mini 10.4 and a Windows 7 PC. I keep both iTunes libraries synced up.

I have the same problem. It's disappointing that there aren't more replies to this issue two years later. I just delete the song from iTunes and then delete the song file in the iTunes Library. Then I go back to the store and redownload it. It asks if you would like to "purchase" the song again. Say Yes. You can download the song for free(You won't have to pay again). Then you have to listen to that song to see if it's complete. Sometimes I have to do this several times before I finally get the full song WHY??? When there are several songs on one album that are incomplete this can be a very tedious process. I bought an album today and a few of the songs are cut off like this. So I'm off to try to get my money's worth...

Illustrator CC 2014 - save for web cuts off image

In Illustrator CC 2014 when I save a vector image with a thick stroke (e.g. 20pt) while using save for web and clipping to the image (so not selecting clip to artboard) and scaling to e.g. 20%, then the edges of the drawing are cut off.
I'm not completely sure but I think previous versions didn't have this issue.
If I save the image at 100% no edges are cut off.
I suppose save for web uses the center of the vector line to determine where to cut off the image if the image is scaled down.
But it should use the outer 'edge' of the stroke to cut off the image.
Any ideas to the cause or solution?
P.S.: Yes, I'm a Windows user ;-)

I've ticked Edit>Preferences>General>Use Preview Bounds
That would seem the right way to solve the issue but the problem remains.
Maybe the origin of the issue isn't because of the centre of the path / artwork size.
Since there is no problem (with or without "Use Preview Bounds" ticked) using Save for web while scaling at 100% (or higher).
The clipping only occurs when scaling down.

Shuffle cuts off last few seconds of the song

This morning when playing a playlist on Shuffle/Songs, iPod would cut off the last few seconds (15-30) abruptly and move on to the next track. I changed the shuffle to Album but with the same result. However, now in the afternoon, it is playing ok with the shuffle.
Has anyone else encountered such behavior? Could it be a bug in the software?

My ipod is cutting off my MP3s

Hello. My ipod was working just fine, but a couple of months ago, it started randomly cutting off some of my songs. It doesn't do it to all of them, so far, but a few of them have lost 30 seconds to a minute. They're fine in itunes, but not my ipod.

Voice memos in iOS7, on new iphone 5s cuts off recordings

Hi,
Voice memos has always been super reliable in previous versions but on a new iphone 5s with ios7 I'm finding it cuts off recordings very unpredictably - sometimes after less than a minute sometimes after a quarter hour or so.
I've seen other threads where the issue has been described but this has been explicitly on longer recordings or where the recording is finished so wanted to raise this again as an issue on new hardware with recordings of any length where the recording stops by itself.
The bug is making the app unusable at present which is a shame as it looks like it could be a greatly improved app.
Any ideas?

The worse thing about this is that Apple Support does not appear to know about it and steered me in the wrong direction. Today I tried it again and lost another 50 minute recording.
Apple needs to fix this and let users and tech staff know ASAP.
This has now cost me 2 hours of client time, plus 3 hours of tech support. The client information is priceless to me. I will not be able to retrieve the content of those discussions, even if I conduct the meetings again. Too many variables were at play.
I am beyond disillusioned that this issue is being reported in various threads throughout the fall and has not been addressed, and that phone support is unwaware, so more users will end up with the same terrible losses.
It is, in my opinion, highly irresponsible and a show of disrespect to customers to permit this to be occuring without warning users or applying fixes.

Scanning cuts off bottom 1/2"

I have an HP OfficeJet 7410 All-in-One. When I scan an 8.5' x 11" page, using the Automatic Document Feeder, it cuts off the bottom 1/2", no matter what program I use to control the scan (the latest versions of HP ScanPro and Adobe Acrobat). If I don't use the ADF, but scan from the glass, I get the whole page. And if I scan a legal-sized page (8.5" x 14") it does not cut off anything on the bottom.
So, just to experiment, I plugged the OfficeJet into a PC and scanned the same 8.5" x 11" document using the ADF. It did not cut off the bottom. So the problem doesn't seem to be the scanner, or the scanning software. It definitely seems to be that somewhere in OS X, it's cutting off the bottom.
My workaround is to place the 8.5" x 11" pages to be scanned into clear plastic document sleeves. Each is 11.5" long, and when I use these, I get a scan of the entire document.
Is there some way I can get the MBP to scan an entire 11" page without my having to place each one in a plastic sleeve?

Hi Roger,
Just want to clarify some of the above.
And if I scan a legal-sized page (8.5" x 14") it does not cut off anything on the bottom.
From the Auto Feeder legal size works? Or did you mean manually placing a legal size sheet on the glass?
So the problem doesn't seem to be the scanner, or the scanning software.
It could still be the software. The OS X software isn't a direct copy of the Windows software. It has to be ported, which gives plenty of opportunity for errors in one version that doesn't exist in the other. I've noticed with other HP products that the Mac software almost always has flaws the Windows counterpart doesn't.
My workaround is to place the 8.5" x 11" pages to be scanned into clear plastic document sleeves.
Scanned via the Auto Feeder or manually on the glass?

My iTunes randomly cuts off songs at the end. I've tried to create a new library and reimport my old library, but to no avail. Can anyone help? :)?

Hi, I am using a MacBook Pro, and downloaded the new iTunes update. I have OS X Lion 10.7.4. It all of sudden is randomly cutting off some songs before the very end of the song. I've tried to read past posts and create new libraries and re-import the old one, but it doesn't seem to help. It is not all of my purchased songs, nor is it all of my downloaded from CD songs, it's just a particularly random set of songs (I haven't checked them all, but it happens every 5 songs or so when I play the whole library on shuffle). This never happened to me before with other versions of iTunes, and when I called the support line the guy says he has never heard of this problem before... !
I have 3000 songs, so I don't want to manually bring each one in again. I am also not super technologically brilliant, so if you have had this problem too and have a simple answer, please help !!!

I have a similar problem with Itunes - the funny thing is it only does it on my Mac and not my PC running Windows 7 - seems strange the Apple software runs better on a Windows computer. There are other posts about this here on the forums that have been running for two years with no solution - and I was just about to buy a new Ipod - oh well.

Many songs on my iPad are cut off before completion, or are scrambled (bits of different tunes mixed in with other tunes).

I am running iTunes 11.0.3.42 on Windows 8, and am an iTunes match subscriber. I have approximately 2700 songs in my library - maybe 1/2 and 1/2 ripped from my CD collection and the rest purchase exclusively through iTunes. None of this music is pirated.
When playing this music back on my iPad, I am finding that many songs are cut off before they complete. When this happens, they continue to play, but it is just silence. Additionally, many other tunes are scrambled, with bits of other songs mixed together into one. When going back to iTunes on my PC, I will sometimes find that the songs play fine there - but sometimes they behave as they do on the iPad.
This happens whether or not I run my library with iTunes match on the iPad. I have redownloaded all my songs to try to repair this, with mixed results. It will often fix the songs that I was having trouble with - but then other songs will begin to show the same type of problems. I know that 2700 songs is not an immense library, but it is too large for me to systematically review the whole library - which makes tracking these problems very difficult.
I have seen similar types of complaints on the forums ranging over the last several years. It also seems that these problems have been "solved" by many different methods. Nothing I have found has worked for me - or only worked with the mixed results I mention above. I wonder if these individuals have actually been getting the mixed results I am finding.
This is truly frustrating, as I do not do anything exotic with my library, and have not pirated, but gotten my music honestly. I also have ripped my entire CD collection into iTunes, and have gotten rid of the CD's - as I have NEVER had similar problems to this in all the many years I have been using iTunes. Suddenly I find that I have a majorly corrupted library, with seemingly no way out. I cannot even abandon iTunes since I have such an investment in it. At a minimum of $.99 per song it would cost me almost $2700 to replace my library honestly, and that is at the low end of what I would pay. I don't know about you - but I don't have three grand to blow on replacing a music library I already paid for just to get away from a crappy product (sorry Apple - but what the heck else would you call this nonsense?). Makes a dude covet taking an eye-patch.
I am screwed and doubt there's a way out - but I have no choice but to ask for help. Anyone?

Black bands cut off full projection with DVI adapter

I used my DVI adapter for the first time today to connect my MacBook Pro (17") to a projector. I selected video mirroring from my System Preferences and ran a PowerPoint (for Mac) presentation in slide show mode.
The projector displayed the presentation but black bands appeard on my laptop display, which cut off some of the left and right side of the projected PowerPoint presentation.
Anyone know how I get rid of the black bands and get the full image from my laptop display projected?
(FYI, I use PowerPoint instead of Keynote because it's easier for my clients. I know, I know, that's sad.)

How are you actually connected to the TV? Does it have HDMI? Most non-widescreen TVs would not.
I would suspect a converter is either not outputting properly, your TV not interpreting the signal properly or you have some form of Zoom setting enabled on the TV.
How does your TV handle widescreen from say cable or terrestrial TV sources ?
Unfortunately AppleTV is not designed to be used with non-widescreen TVs so there's no setting on AppleTV to tweak.
