Cd-cover

I have a problem with downloading the cd-covers for my cds that I have imported to my library. When i click on "download cd-covers", I can see the progress starting but after that nothing has changed. In the settings "download missing cd-covers automatically" is activated. I am happy for any help!!

There are two apps. that come to mind for printing CD labels and jewel box cards:
PrintShop
and
Neato.
Hard to say if their jewel box templates include side labels. I suggest you contact the software developer.

  • Can not properly view cover flow in full screen in external display

    My mac is the new Mac book pro 15.4 inch screen and I connect my mac pro to external display e.g. Samsung LCD monitor 24 inches.
    The bug is that I can not PROPERLY view full screen (in external display) for some application e.g. iTunes, and Front Row.
    - When I use iTunes, I can not properly view Cover Flow view in full screen (in the external display screen) except the case of mirror display.
    - For Front Row, I can not view full screen in external display but only my mac display.
    However, for other DVD or VDO players, I can view movie on external display in full screen and I still be able to do other works on my mac screen.
    Please let me know how to solve it.

  • Is there a way of making my iPod's "cover flow" sort in the same way the software can . Artist -- Album by Year . It only seems to do Artist -- by Alphabetical Album . I want it look like it does on the PC .

    Is there a way to make the "cover flow" on the iPod match the sort style that I use on the software . I go with Artist -- Album by Release Year . But the ipod seems to only do Artist -- Alphabetical by Album , and then there are a handful of albums oddly out of place . Can it be done ?

    Ottonomy, here's what to do.
    Connect your iPhone to your computer and open the iPhone's playlist in an iTunes window. Copy/Paste the entire playlist into a new(!) playlist in iTunes, not on your iPhone. Then resort the playlist. After you sort it, Copy/Paste it to a new(!) playlist on your iPhone. Now delete the old playlist on your iPhone and rename the new playlist the name you want it to be (probably the same name as the old playlist).
    The downside to this method is that you have to do it every time you add a song to the playlist. Unfortunately, I don't think there's another way.

  • Photo won't show on cover of Iphoto Calendar after dragging and dropping

    Every year I create a calendar on Iphoto and I have always been able to troubleshoot everything myself.
    This time, I am stumped. The whole calendar is ready to go but for some reason, the photo I added to the cover will not show up. I am using the same photo later in the calendar without a problem. In fact, when I hover over the picture it tells me that is being used on the cover and on page 11...but I can't see it!
    The title underneath the photo will only show when I click on the text box. Once I click away from it, it will disappear.
    Anybody? Christmas is approaching fast and I need to get this into production ASAP to mail to Europe.

    Hi HeyBayLondon!
    It sounds like you may want to try restoring your phone and then re-syncing the content from your computer to see if the information will show up after that procedure. Information on doing that can be found right here:

  • Compilations: Can you show just one album cover with mixes/compiations?

    Using the current iTunes (11.01) is a misery. I have numerous mix discs and compilations, and for each title eg Royksopp's BACK TO MINE mix, there are about 15 tiles of the album, one for each song. In extreme cases, there may be over 100. Since I have God knows how many songs, easily in the tens of thousands, this is an extremely inefficient way to display my collection.
    Is there any way to display albums with just the one album cover and title showing each time? THis is ridiculous.
    Thanks in advance.

    Wow!
    Is that really so?
    I'm not questioning your answer. Just want to make sure before I say OK and let it be. I had heard that iTunes/iPod forces you to do things their way, this is an example, I guess!
    Thanks for the input.
    I guess I'll just have to leave it be!
    Is iTunes the only way to deal with iPod? Are there any other programs?

  • Laserjet Pro 400 MFP Cover Page

    We just installed the above multi-function device. I understand the software included with this device in limited in capability with its scan to fax function.
    Currently this deice won't add cover pages unless the needed cover page is scanned in addition to the file being faxed OR the needed cover page is added to the file being sent. 
    [  Explained in this post  ]

    MY Question:
    1. What HP software will work with this device and give us this function, Even if that software wasn’t designed for that device? I understand that using any such software would be done at my own risk.
    2. I would like a list of devices that include this function in the supplied software.
    * To clarify what function is needed, the ability to send cover pages without the need to scan an additional page or edit the document being sent.

  • How to populate the Cover Sheet of a Distributed Form

    I am a newbie to LiveCycle forms and have created my first simple form to manage travel requests within my company.  This is then distributed to employees who fill out their multiple travel requests with associated expected costs and return the form to the administrator.  This is in turn collected by the administrator who either approves or dissaproves some of the items in the form of each employee.  My question is: How can I get to see the total approved costs for all employees in this dataset?  IS there a way of consolidating this into the cover sheet or how wold one do this.  All advice welcomed.
    Thanks in advance.

    Each form that the employees fill out represents a separate request. One request does not know of the existance of other requests. If you want to get a consolidated view of all requests you will need a means of tracking or storing all of the information in a common place. Usually this is done by writing each form instance to a database, then you can get your consolidated view by querying the DB for that information.
    Hope that helps

  • What's wrong with my iPod's Cover Flow??

    I have an iPod Touch 3rd Gen, 32Gb, and recently updated to IOS 5.
    Since then, the iPod's cover flow feature is extremely slow, doesn't flow smoothly, and crashes after a few (15-20) seconds.
    Today I noted something else: some album covers appear pixelated and blurry, even though HD. Those covers looked just fine until now.
    As a side note, I have in use 30 of the 32 Gb (that's a lot of music, I know). Could this be related? I never had those problems before IOS 5, though.
    What's wrong with my iPod?
    Thanks for your help!

    so as I see it people with this problem have 3 options
    - Make all of your album art a maximum of 500X500 pixels
    - Wait for an IOS update that fixes the problem
    - Scrap ipods and buy another brand of music player
    Using photoshop to do it with, it took me about an hour to resize, change, and resync all of my 1400 songs(86 albums)

  • PDF Portfolio Cover - how to change this in Acrobat Pro 9?

    Hi all,
    in Windows folders PDF Portfolio files are displayed as follows:
    1. Using common PDF icons (bad, because we cannot distinguish PDF from PDF Portfolio), or
    2. If the folder allows larger pictures, then we see the standards Porfolio cover showing a "book",
    the note about the needed version and a download button.
    Question: is there a way to replace the standard PDF Portfolio cover (and symbol) by an user defined one?
    Such information like needed version and the download button aren't useful for people which
    already use correct versions. Notes like these should only appear on computer which cannot
    corretly display the respective files.
    For a meningfull overview I would like to display own contents. Is this possible?
    Best Regards, Michael

    Ignore the previous posts.
    The thing you're looking at is called the Cover Sheet - it's the page that users will see if their software cannot support Portfolios (or on Windows Explorer thumbnails), and is NOT part of the Portfolio navigator. In fact, the Cover Sheet is the "parent" to the entire document, and is nothing more than a one-page PDF file.
    To view the Cover Sheet in Acrobat, choose View -> Portfolio -> Cover Sheet
    You cannot delete it (as it's the only page in your document!) but you can edit it. For example, you could create your own design, and use the page thumbnails right-click "replace page" tool to swap in your new page. Be careful about the web link though, it needs to stay there to help your non-Adobe recipients.
    If you want to change every Cover Sheet on every Portfolio you make, replace the default "coversheet.pdf" file within the Acrobat install (there will be a series of them in subfolders, one for each installed language):
    C:\Program Files\Adobe\Acrobat 10.0\Acrobat\DocSettings\CombineFiles
    We do it all the time to add company branding to Portfolios created in enterprise installs.

  • Cover flow lion finder window

    Horrible horrible horrible feature of Lion: 
    iPhoto is occupied iwth a large upload of images to flickr.
    I want to review some more of the images I shot today in thumbnail to
    open and start working on them in photoshop without waiting for iPhoto
    to finish (this is reason #6099 why I do not let iPhoto control the
    location of my photos on the drive, so I can access them without
    opening their specific iPhoto library).
    I open the enclosing folder for the images, click to view by icon,
    enlarge the icons, then click to sort the photos by date, and....COVER
    FLOW!  they've Cover-Flow-ized the icon view when you do any kind of
    sort except by name. 
    I cannot say how much I hate cover flow--nausea-inducing for the
    motion sickness prone, nasty vile scheme in general--and now, it's
    dropped the images I can see in one glance at the screen in this icon
    by date view of the finder window to ONE, and I can't turn it off.  I
    do NOT have coverflow checked in view options.
    Is there any way to kill coverflow completely in every place they've
    put it?
    (Feedback already sent to apple, BTW, if you have this problem too, and there's no solution offered by one of the bright folks on this board, please send them some at apple.com/feedback--the place to put feedback for programs like finder that don't have a 'send feedback' menu item))

    Support call gave the solution:  instead of 'Arrange by', use the 'clean up by' command under the view menu in Finder.  This does what arrange by used to, and while the menu options are more limited than 'arrange by', it doesn't default to the cover-flow behavior that is so irritating.
    If you hate cover flow like I do, please send them feedback.  If enough of us complain about it, maybe they'll stop putting it all over the place.

  • Problems concerning sonata playlists and freevo cover art

    Hi!
    I'm setting up a media center PC and I'm having some problems with the playlists created by sonata. Another problem I have is not getting freevo to download cover art.
    First: When ever I try to make a playlist through the "Current" tab in Sonata it creates a m3u file with every song that's listed in the current window. I'm used to being able to pick one or a couple of songs and then adding it a specified playlist. Is this impossible in sonata? And if I try to play the m3u file created (the one with every song listed) through freevo I get a message that the directory is empty. What am I doing wrong??
    Second: I'm having big problems getting freevo to download cover art to my music. I can download info on movies from imdb, but info for the music doesn't work. I store the cover art downloaded by sonata in the different album folders and these covers show up in freevo. But if I have to play every new song i download first in sonata to get the cover art working in freevo I'll go crazy. It's supposed to work the same way in freevo as in sonata isn't it???
    It also seems that mplayer can't play m3u files. Using the mentioned sonata made m3u file in mplayer does nothing. Mplayer starts but nothing happens.
    My goal is to be able to make playlists through sonata and then play these lists using freevo. I don't want to get up from the couch.

    It's clearly not impossible, just different than you expect. Create your playlist as you want it to appear in the Current tab (meaning don't dump every single song from your library in there, just the ones you want) and then save the playlist.

    Look at save_absolute_paths_in_playlists in your mpd.conf.

  • Screen saver overrides iTunes cover flow in Lion

    On my new iMac (OSX 10.7.1, iTunes 10.4.1), when in full screen cover flow mode, the screen saver overrides this, which is annoying as I like to leave it playing with the artwork displayed. This did not happen on my old (Leopard) Mac. I can't find any preference setting that seems to fix this. I dont really want to turn off the screen saver - I didn't have to before, why now?

    Have you tried creating a hot corner (System Preferences > Desktop & Screen Saver > Screen Saver - Hot Corners) to disable the screen saver by parking mouse pointer in the "hot corner."
    I'm assuming Lion still has this function.

  • Cover Flow does not update in full-screen mode

    Following an upgrade to iTunes 10.5 (141) and Lion (10.7.2) - I've noticed that Cover Flow no longer updates to the current song in full-screen mode. It will return to, and remain frozen at the first song of the playlist until manually updated or I revert to non-full-screen mode.

    I assume you are using a desktop shortcut to start Lightroom.  Look at the properties for that shortcut.  There should be an option to set it to "maximize".

  • Album Cover art

    I like the idea of being able to browse using cover art but it is only a useful feature if you can get most cover art . There are many albums for which iTunes has album cover art, albums which I own original copies of, for which I can't get album art.
    Examples: Sigur Ros /Saeglour, T-Bone Burnett /True False Identity, Paul Simon/ Surprise, Graceland, all of Van Morrison's albums, most Dylan and Neil Young albums and many others.
    Apple put this feature on I Tunes, but many album covers which you show on the Itunes store website don't download. I have both checked "automatically download missing album artwork" in preferences and requested Get album artwork in the Advanced Tab . If I control click on the album artwork on iTunes store, I can't even copy the image to paste it in manually. Also, when I request album art I often get an "unable to download certain artwork " message with no further explanation. If I'm supposed to buy the album art I'd like to know how and how much.
    What's up?

    The spelling was ok since almost all were entered using gracenote. Anyway it suddenly started working. without changing anything I could tell I asked again to get album artwork from the Advanced tab and it started downloading 400 album covers. whatever. So my problem wasn't answered but it is solved. thanks for the google image search idea. So I guess I'll mark it answered.

  • Will Apple cover me if updating to iOS5 on ipod Touch 3rd gen ruins/bricks it?

    I have heard stories of some people's apple products not working/bricked after attempting to upgrade to iOS5.
    I have a 1.5 year old ipod Touch 3rd gen. No warranty on it from Apple (tho I do have one from Square Trade for ADH, but I called them and they said if it is a software issue, they don't cover it.)
    I am very concerned about d/ling the ios5 upgrade and it ruining my ipod touch.  In effect, I will take a device that could fetch almost $200 on ebay (which I could then use to upgrade to a Touch 5gen), and turn it into a worthless piece of junk if I upgrade and it ruins it.
    Also, I know that they have released 5.0.1 (beta I believe?) for update.   I still read stories on here from people waiting until now (Nov, a month after it was first released when so many people tried to d/l it and had terrible problems), but now are still getting network timed out error msgs, etc.
    So is there ANY protection from Apple if their update should screw my ipod touch??
    Should I just wait longer for a final, stable version  of ios 5? (like v5.1)  Or just totally skip the iOS 5 upgrade and stay safe with iOS 4?  I don't know that it is really worth the $200 loss risk to upgrade to iOS5.  (i.e. 3rd gen doesn't have the ability to find and lock/wipe my lost touch, etc.)
    I do know that I should:
    1) install itunes 10.5 anew on my laptop  (itunes and syncing WAS done on my tower, until I just got it back from being serviced for some Major problems/virues/malware/etc.  I'm not comfortable using it, as the problems on it included not being able to start Local Services, connect to the internet, no audio services, etc.  The guy says it is booting up and services are working now, but you never know....But i digress...)
    2) be on AC and not battery on my laptop
    3) be hardwired (ethernet) to the internet and not use my wireless connection
    4) turn off Windows 7 Firewall, and disable my PC Tools Spyware Docter with Antivirus.
    So, what do you all think? should I wait until later to upgrade to say os 5.1?  Should I even RISK upgrading to iOS5 on a touch 3gen and lose almost $200 cash?  And will Apple give me ANY protection should it ruin my touch?  (I seriously doubt it.)
    Thanks for input.

    Before proceeding with the update, it wouldn't hurt to manually back up the iPod in iTunes by right->clicking on it from under the Devices section and choosing Backup.    See this article for more information on what is stored in the backup.
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4946
    Also make sure that any content you may have synced to the device from iTunes, such as Music, movies, TV Shows, podcasts, etc. are all stored on your computer and in iTunes before updating the iPod's version of iOS.
    Otherwise, I would go ahead with the upgrade.  I didn't have any issues with it on my iPhone.

  • Podcast Cover Image & Recent Podcasts Not Appearing

    I know this question has been asked before, but I can't seem to get the Podcast Cover Image to appear on my client's iTunes podcast page both within iTunes and on Apple's iTunes website. When I'm subscribed to it, it does show up. What am I doing wrong?
    Additionally I'm having a problem with my last 3 podcasts not appearing, and I can't figure out what happened there.
    Below are links to the page on Apple site and the feed I'm using, but please let me know if I need to provide more. Any help would be greatly appreciated!
    https://itunes.apple.com/podcast/living-grace-lutheran-church/id348311926?mt=2
    feed://livinggraceomaha.org/lg-sermonpodcasts.xml

    Your feed is OK, except that most of your episodes do not have 'guid' tags, and your enclosure tags are missing the 'length' attribute which should show the file size in bytes. Neither of these is serious and they would not cause a problem.
    The Store does go through slow patches sometimes: there have been numerous occasions when people have complained about not seeing updates for two or three weeks, and I'm afraid that you've probably just hit one of these. There isn't really anything you can do about it. You could try emailing them at podcasts 'at' apple.com, but frankly you are likely to get a form answer telling you how to add episodes (which you already know). I'm afraid that it's just a question of waiting.
