Changing Metadata Deletes Artwork-Why?!

So, I'm 40, and I like whole albums. Spotify and Pandora are not things that work with me. And I'm not jumping into this cloud thing because I end up in areas with no service. I want my music with me, on my own terms, because I own it. It's mine.
I'm also a music nerd and like to change the metadata in the Info section of the albums. Specifically, I prefer to put the year the album was release in parenthesis after the album title. That way I can reference that when I'm on the go and am using my iPod (don't get me started on how I feel about the iPod being discontinued…DON'T!)
I've been able to do this in the past with no problems. But now when I try it, after I enter the change and hit the OK button, it deletes the album artwork. Is this because I haven't upgraded to the current version? I'm only a version or two behind. And really, much like making a folder on my desktop for Word files, I consider iTunes a filing system that I have control over because it's full of music that I own.
Am I being naive in believing this?
The reason I don't upgrade the iTunes often is because they keep changing the layout. Again, this is my system. They need not change it around. But if you go too long without upgrading then it doesn't work with iTunes.
Which, again, as a system for my own personal files, makes no sense. Feel free to upgrade your store all you want, but don't make it impossible to use because some of us don't want to have our system totally overworked for no good reason. And iTunes works just fine. Who is trying to justify the job that they know they don't really deserve by "fixing" what isn't broken? Stop it, whoever you are.
So, sorry, this is a heated subject for me…bottom line, why is this change in the metadata deleting my artwork? And while we're here, bring back the frigging iPod! You can't get parts for the hard drive anymore? That's your excuse? You rule the world! That's insane to say that!
I'd love to ask iTunes support for help on this, but since my "contract" has expired, they want $29 to do so. And I buy music and movies on iTunes on a weekly basis. I used to think that Apple had good support but that has changed after tonight.
Anyone out there have a quick fix for this issue… the artwork one?
Thanks.

No I'm not.
I also made sure that in Preferences, "Show iTunes in the Cloud" was unchecked (in case it was that causing all my grief), but no luck.

ITunes 11.2.1 is unable to change metadata

After this recent update of iTunes to version 11.2.1 I'm no longer able to change metadata of any MP3 file without that the spinning ball takes an infinity spinning tour. I have to kill the iTunes process. Befor this update I changed mass of files through iTunes media information dialog. There was never a problem.
My files are on an external Windows Server 2012 R2 share and I use SMB1 (CIFS) for access. The underlaying file system is NTFS but that was never a problem. The current logged on user has ownership of all files. And in fact, I can create, change or delete any file through Finder. But now iTunes is not able to change one of this files metadata without going to nirvana.
If Apple has changed the underlaying right system of iTunes they have done something wrong.
Has anybody a suggestion?

I have the same issue with a mac mini 10.6.8 and iTunes 10.4. I am using the mac mini headless and screen sharing using my macbook (same OS and software) The album covers are visible on grid but not on coverflow. I can also see the covers when using iPhone remote to control itunes on the mini...
Tried reinstalling safari as recommended by another answer, changing display res hasnt helped.
Help pls

How do I change the the artwork size in grid view?

How do I change the the artwork size in grid view? I see that if you select view > view options when in artists it will give you a slider to adjust artwork size (although not by much) but there is no option to do this in Movies or TV shows... why couldn't they just keep the universal slider at the top of the page like before!? I know they want it to look more like the iOS itunes but this isn't an iPad!!! I have the screen space!!
Also why is it that EVERY time they release a new iTunes they get rid of the grey background for grid view? :@

Hello,
My understanding is that Firefox uses the global printer settings. I am not familiar with the Windows 8 interface, but can you change the printer settings in its Devices and Printers and see if it changes the default for Firefox as well?

Changing or deleting online number

I have a Manchester, UK online number as part of my Skype subscription. I need to change this to a Bristol, UK number (my relatives have moved home), but after searching the "Online " pages I can't find any option to replace the number with a new one, only options to buy an extra one. I tried buying a second one (extra expense) in the hope that a "change online number" option might appear but no - I now have two online numbers, one of which is of no use to me.
How do I delete the old Manchester one and transfer the new Bristol one to my subscription? In the older versions of Skype software it was easily possible to delete or change online numbers, why is it so difficult now?
Thanks for your suggestions.

You would have to purchase a new Online Number in Bristol, and just let the Manchester number expire without renewing it. Online Numbers won't renew automatically, as subscriptions do, so there is no harm in just ignoring it. There is no option to change an online number. If you just extended your Manchester number, you may want to contact Skype Support to see if there is anything that can be done to cancel that number and possibly refund the purchase price. If you've had the number a while, there is probably nothing that can be done there.
I've had Online Numbers for over 4 years on my Skype account. I've never seen any options to change or delete them. On the Skype web site, I can log into my account and extend the numbers beyond their current expiration dates, but there is no way to change or delete them. Online Numbers are separate from your calling subscription, except that you get a discount when purchasing Online Numbers when you already have a subscription.
Good luck!

Films - Movies not Working or corrupted in iTunes after changing the album artwork

After trying to change the album artwork for some movies I own, I realized that such movie unplayable after such change and I cannot even revert what I have done. More, it seems like if you press on the "get info" section of the movie, you will notice that the artwork tab is gone and therefore, it’s like the movie is corrupted after changing the artwork. Any ideas? Has anyone encountered this before?

Just checked and I have the updated itunes 8.0.1 with the poster frame problem.
I finally found a fix for the movie album artwork problem.
After realizing several movies had the same poster frame as one of the movies. I deleted the movie with the common poster frame which had been copied to other movies. The other poster frames changed on the other movies because they no longer had a reference to the file from which the poster frame was copied. So I copied the deleted movie back into itunes and then got to thinking that perhaps there is something else in common with the movies which displayed the same poster frame. I found that I had set the album field to the same title. So I changed the album field file by file, to something else. Then I set the poster frame after playing a few seconds of the video at a point where I wanted the frame set to the current frame. I got a film icon on the movie icon for a few seconds while it changed it. Sometimes I had to repeat selecting the different poster frames for each movie because it didn't take the first time... the second time I selected a different poster frame it was then set to the first poster frame that I selected. So now the movies which all had the same album "Aviation" now are all changed to "Flight Training" Of course, now the poster frames for those movies are all the same poster frame but at least they are correct for the type of movie.
So if the album name is set to the same thing on several different movies they will all have the same poster frame.

Error FRM-40657:Record Change or deleted by another user

Hi dears
Please HELP ME
I have a form with multiple blocks and relationship between them
I can insert in all of the blocks
but I can not update the exiting rows in ANY block in application.
I can update the rows from outside of the application
it returns me this error:
FRM-40657:Record Change or deleted by another user
the properties about insert allowed,update allowed and so on are all YES in all blocks
Would you please advise me about that?
Need your help
thanks
Shahram

This error occurs because the record as held in the Form is not the same as that held on the database. When Forms locks a record it checks the value of every database item on the Form with that currently stored in the database, and if the two are not the same it issues this error.
This can happen for a number of reasons e.g.
1. You may want to look at date fields and ensure the time component is being taken into account i.e. the LAST_MODIFIED column is stored as '01-JAN-2001 15:34:56' on the database but is stored as '01-JAN-2001 00:00:00' (a truncated date) on the Form.
2. Check to see if there are any database triggers which alter the values of columns.
You may need to go through every database item on the Form and compare it with the value on the database. Having found a discrepancy in values you need to determine why this occurs.

Please help!

Welcome to the Apple community.
This feature has been introduced to make stolen phones useless to those that have stolen them.
However it can also arise when the user has changed their Apple ID details with Apple and not made the same changes to their iCloud account/Find My Phone on their device before upgrading to iOS 7.
The only solution is to change your Apple ID back to its previous state with Apple at My Apple ID, verify the changes, enter the password as requested on your device and then turn off "find my phone".
You should then change your Apple ID back to its current state, verify it once again, delete the iCloud account from your device and then log back in using your current Apple ID. Finally, turn "find my phone" back on once again.

My email recently changed and so I updated my Apple ID to reflect my new email, but my Icloud account still shows the old email as the username on both my Iphone and Ipad and for the life of me I can't figure out how to change or delete it.

My password doesn't work with the old email address. When I look for my old email address in the Apple ID support area it says that the ID doesn't exist. Help!!!

You have to go to Settings>iCloud and tap Delete Account, then sign back in with your updated credentials. This deletes the account and your synced data from your device, but not from iCloud. Provided you are signing back into the same account and not changing to a different account, your data will be synced back to your device when you sign back in.

Disabling 'Change' and 'Delete' button in Attachment List in ME52N

Hi Friends,
The reuqirement is this:
A user attaches doucments ( using the Generic Object Services to attach document ) while creating/changing Purchase Requisition (ME51N / ME52N).
Now when any user goes to see the docuemnts attached to the PR, he selects the 'Attachement List' from the context menu, he should only be able to read it and should not be allowed to change or delete the document. For this we need to disable the 'change' and 'delete' buttons from the toolbar.
Awaiting your response.......

Hi,
Probably you have uncommented the call to super class when you reimplement the method on child class (z class)
I just implement the same thing now and it worked for me. Take a look:
1 - Modify the SGOSATTR table by SM30, just write a Z class (in my case CL_GOS_SRV_ATTACHMENT_CREATE) .
2 - Create/inheridt a subclass (not a copy) in SE24 of the standard class.
3 - Implement the method CHECK_STATUS in the z class. Note that the call to method on super class came commented. You only uncomment if you want to also execute a standard code in the super class.
Here is my code:
method CHECK_STATUS.
NOTE - In my real implementation I have uncommented the code below because I want do standard code be executed before my own check.
*CALL METHOD SUPER->CHECK_STATUS
EXPORTING
   IS_LPORB = IS_LPORB
   IS_OBJECT = IS_OBJECT
IMPORTING
   EP_STATUS = EP_STATUS
   EP_ICON   = EP_ICON
Check for BUS2012 = Bussinnes Object for Purchase Order
IF IS_LPORB.TYPEID = BUS2012
Check authorization and disable create attachment item if the user does not have authority...
IF IS_LPORB-TYPEID = 'BUS2012'.
AUTHORITY-CHECK OBJECT 'Z_MM001' ID 'ACTVT' FIELD '01'.
IF sy-subrc <> 0.
    ep_status = mp_status_inactive.
ENDIF.
ENDIF.
endmethod.

Hi,
I have solved the issue Alhamdulillah by the foll. method:
1. Copied CL_GOS_SRV_ATTACHMENT_LIST to ZCL_GOS_SRV_ATTACHMENT_LIST
2. In ZCL_GOS_SRV_ATTACHMENT_LIST there is a method called: CHECK_STATUS. I overwrote with my check;
on_mode_changed( 'D' ). --- For display
on_mode_changed( 'E' ). --- For edit mode.
3. In SGOS tcode, added VIEW_ATTA to point to ZCL_GOS_SRV_ATTACHMENT_LIST

Subject : PO Release Strategy not changed after deletion of few line items with less Total PO
Dear Friends
We have issue with PO Release strategy. We have created the PO. with release strategy with multiple approvers. After approval of first approval manager , one of the PO line item got deleted and Total PO value is reduced . The new PO value should have changed the PO release strategy. But it is not changed. Old release strategy only showing in the PO which is wrong.
Details of the PO
PO no 4500000123 with 5 line items Total PO value : 100,000 USD Release strategy : AB
PO line item 5 deleted. Now total PO value changed to 50,000 USD and the PO release strategy should have been changed to AA but not changed. Still showing PO release strategy AB only.
Are there any OSS notes available to correct his bug.
Please let me know if you need more details
Thanks in Advance
