Itunes artwork display issue and a fix for 'unknown error occured (-50)'

Too bad they dont have stickies. This would be a great one.
This is a thorough fix for art work and the -50 error.
If you see artwork in itunes, first verify that the artwork is in the mp3 tag using a program like "tag and rename" http://www.softdepia.com/tagrename_download1291.html
If the artwork shows up in tag and rename, then you added it correctly.
If the artwork isn't displaying on ipod, delete the song and retransfer to the ipod. Next make sure the "view artwork" check box is checked. To do this connect your iPod to iTunes and there will be a checkbox that should be checked to see if you want artwork to show up on your iPod.
If you get this message -
The ipod cannot be updated. An unknown error occured (-50).
And have no artwork at all in you IPOD , dont fret. I am getting there..
NO you DO NOT NEED to FORMAT YOUR IPOD YET as commonly posted. I have tested and retested the following fix-
Eject IPOD. Kill ITUNES.
Backup the following files
iTunes Library.itl
iTunes Music Library.xml
& anything in the Previous Itunes library folder
and delete them. More info on these at http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=93732
Dont worry, its much easier to recreate the database than to wipe your IPOD.
Next Start up ITUNES. Plug in IPOD. You now should have a empty database.
At this time, uncheck copy ARTWORK to IPOD, and when it's done deleting artwork, CHECK Copy ARTWORK to IPOD.
It now should sucessfully display ARTWORK and not get the -50 error!!
Now, goto you ITUNES Music folder and drag to the library and it will add you music back in, including your PODCASTS.
All you need to do is click the RESUBSCRIBE button and you are back in business!
IF this fails, which i cant DUPLICATE anymore, try this
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=300248
Its the DREADED IPOD FORMAT article.
But you probably wont need it if you follow all these steps.
Post back if this doesnt work and if it does, give me some credit;)

Just as an fyi, to shorten this procedure instead of deleting the files i found out you and open the .itl files and delete all the lines in it so its an empty file.
Then open itunes, and it will rebuild the database with the files from the .xml file.
This saves you from having to rescan the songs..

Anyone have a fix for Unknown Error (-9812)?

Whenever I try to log on to my iTunes account, I keep getting the following message:
"We could not complete your iTunes store request. An unknown error occurred
(-9812). There was an error in the iTunes store. Please try again later."
I've tried shutting down my router and modem (something that was recommended on another thread), going into my Kaspersky Security/Firewall settings and adding iTunes.com to the list of trusted sites, but all with no success. Can anyone help me... PLEASE?

Oh - I answered on your other post.
Try turning your cable modem off for a minute.
Here's an article on that error, easily found by googling itunes error 9812:

Solutions for "Unknown error occured" when publishing in iWeb

Many complaints where written on the forums about this annoying *"Unknown error occurred"* bug, while publishing in iWeb.
Until now, nobody could actually find the problem, but in most cases the problem is not a network connection, but an iWeb bug, that occurs during html files creation process.
I'm using iWeb a lot and through my work found several different solutions, that worked for me and for many other users. Try them all out, before going desperate and rebuilding the site from scratch:
1. Try closing and reopening iWeb (do it in all other steps between operations).
2. Try to publish the site Locally. If it works, try publishing to the server again.
3. Try publishing the ENTIRE site, first Locally, then to the server (File>Publish Entire Site). This operation forces iWeb to rebuild all the files from skratch.
4. Try closing iWeb and deleting the User/Library/Preferences/com.apple.iweb.plist preferences file. iWeb will create a new one again next time it opens (don't worry, you will only lose iWeb preferences, but not your website)
5. If publishing locally worked, but online didn't, then upload the locally published site folder to your server manually using any FTP client.
6. If nothing works, try reinstalling iWeb. Before doing that, back-up your project file, which is located at +User/Library/Application Support/iWeb+ to some other location.
Also, as an advice, avoid using non web-safe names in your files and web pages. I.e. - don't use spaces and Capital letters, this may cause problems. For example, instead of naming a file: "Nice picture.jpg", name it: "nice_picture.jpg"
Post more solutions, if you have them.

Try signing out of the app (Store menu,) quitting the app, restarting the app and signing back in.

Fix for FOND error on Lion

I just upgraded my system from Leopard to Lion and I noticed that now my Univers fonts will not activate. When I went to Fontbook I noticed that all of my Univers fonts come up with the same error message 'FOND' font association unability and now it will not activate or install. I went through several other forums and found that this error was common on Leopard but I haven't found any mention of it on Lion. There also does not seem to be any available fixes for Lion according to my searches.
I attempted to reinstall the font with a new version of the Univers CE family but that refused to install because the older font that was having issues with Lion was still installed (albeit not working). I attempted to remove the non-functional font and then reinstall the new one and that still did not work. If there is a way to just force Lion to install the font despite the FOND error that would be preferable.
This is highy inconvenient since the Univers font family is what I use the most in Quark and now I will have to manually switch over to another font for my files to display correctly. It is not the entire Univers font family that is affected by this glitch, only the Univers fonts that have CE in them. According to all of the reports I've seen with Leopard, this issue is caused by it not recognizing bitmaps or something like that. If anyone can offer any insight on how I can fix this I would be very appreciative.

kirchoff - if you still have an issue with the font, have you completely cleared the font cache by restarting your mac in safe mode? I'm wrestling with FOND errors in Lion myself and that has alleviated 'some' of my problems. my other problems are related to screen fonts that have multiple weights contained within the file and internal names that don't resolve well...but i digress. good luck!

Any fix for 0xE8000003 error ??

i've just installed iOS 7.0.6 on my iPhone 4 and iTunes won't recognize it anymore, i keep having the 0xE8000003 error whenever i plug my device ... please help it started to get in my nerves

I came across this post while trying to troubleshoot this error myself.
This was a really stupid fix for me - I expected more from Apple but it may help others.
In the course of building a new computer (PC), I connected my phone, drivers loaded, iTunes opened and I received a message to follow the instructions on my phone. Problem was the nothing happened - phone didn't wake up, nothing on screen not even a flash. Then I received the cryptic message & started my research
WELL...had I just clicked my phone to wake it, I would have seem the "trust this computer" message...What A DUH! moment. Click yes & voila...iTunes now recognizes my phone!

Fix for General Error (34) on export

Hi everybody.
I've noticed a lot of people getting many different General Error (34) errors, and I just wanted to post a fix for the one I ran into.
When I tried to export from my sequence I got the error.
I found out, that it was because my In-Point was placed outside of the sequence footage (at the end of the sequence), and that was what caused the error.
Hope this helps out some people.

Thanks!!!
I did it and works perfect
