How come some of my songs have a picture of the song playing?

some of my songs have a picture of the album on the left side of the screen of the song thats playing and some dont?

when u upload a cd onto itunes and then if u have the internet it will get the track information artist,title do u think that those songs that connect to the net to retrieve information would possibly have the album picture on it or no?
Looks to me like he's interested in album art.

  • How come some of my songs will not accept artwork

    Hello,
    I have a few songs in my library that will not accept artwork. I tried several ways, but although I can put them illustration spot, they will not show up.
    It is maybe 3% of the total, but very annoying.
    Anyone with the same experience?
    MacMini   Mac OS X (10.4.8)  

    They are of the type MPEG-audiobestand MPEG-1, Layer 3.
    So they look like 'normal' mp3's.
    I see now in the info that the ones not accepting illustrations have at the iten 'Gecodeerd met:' the answer 'onbekend' (=unknown).
    There exist many applications to encode audio files to mp3's.
    Some short info about mp3-tagging:
    mp3's do not only contain the compressed audio information, but also have a 'container' for all kind of information, and from version 2 upwards room for pictures and lyrics.
    If you're not familiar with the tagging system, take a look at this page:
    http://www.id3.org/ID3v2Easy
    You can also find high-tech information on that website.
    The problem files either contain no tag at all, an old version or a modified tag.
    iTunes obviously simply refuses to add the picture to the tag.
    Try this first:
    Select a song and then choose 'Convert ID3 tags...' from the Advanced menu.
    Choose v2.2 (this is the default tag version of iTunes) and click OK.
    Try to add a picture now.
    If it works, convert the tags of all problem files and add the pictures.
    If this doesn't work try to convert the song and then add the picture to the copy:
    Select a song and Get Info. Look at the number at 'Bit Rate:' (Bitsnelheid).
    Go to Preferences>Advanced>Importing (Voorkeuren>Geavanceerd>Importeren) and set 'Import Using:' (Importeer met:) to 'MP3 Encoder' (MP3-codering). Set 'Setting:' (Instelling:) to the bit rate you found.
    Next, choose 'Convert Selection to MP3' from the Advanced menu in the menubar.
    iTunes will create a copy of the song file. Now add the picture to the copy.
    This should work.
    If it indeed works, you can repeat this procedure for all problem files.
    A way to do that, is to put the problem files in a normal playlist, select them all (Command-A) and convert them.
    When the conversion is done, check the converted files.
    To delete the originals, select the playlist with the originals and Option-Delete (press and hold the Option key, then press Delete) the playlist.
    iTunes will ask you to confirm to delete the playlist and remove the songs from the library.

  • HT4972 How come my iPad does not have software update in the settings?

    Help, my iPad does not have software update available in settings, how do I update?

    The option to update without the computer (Over the air) was made available with iOS 5. If your iDevice is using a version of iOS lower than 5, you will need to use iTunes on your syncing computer to perform the upgrade. Use the Apple link below as a guide for the upgrade.

  • How come some of my itunes songs have a "check mark" and ones that do not say the file cannot be found.

    How come some of my ITunes songs have a check mark next to them and the songs that do not have it, I receive a error message " the file could not be found"  The songs are on my Ipod and Ipad2.  Is my itunes library screwed up?  Can someone tell me how to clean up my library?

    This happens if the file is no longer where iTunes expects to find it. Possible causes are that you or some third party tool has moved, renamed or deleted the file, or that the drive it lives on has had a change of drive letter. It is also possible that iTunes has changed from expecting the files to be in the pre-iTunes 9 layout to post-iTunes 9 layout,or vice-versa, and so is looking in slightly the wrong place.
    Select a track with an exclamation mark, use Ctrl-I to get info, then cancel when asked to try to locate the track. Look on the summary tab for the location that iTunes thinks the file should be. Now take a look around your hard drive(s). Hopefully you can locate the track in question. If a section of your library has simply been moved, or a drive letter has changed, it should be possible to reverse the actions.
    Alternatively, as long as you can find a location holding the missing files, then you should be able to use my FindTracks script to reconnect them to iTunes.

  • For iTunes Match, how come some songs "match" on an album and other songs on the same album "upload" without matching?

    For iTunes Match, how come some songs "match" on an album and other songs on the same album "upload" without matching?  All songs are available on iTunes.  I don't get it!  Any way to manually match songs that iTunes apparently can't match?  I have hundreds in this unmatched state.

    Shazam has NO problem determining what these songs are. Maybe Apple needs to consider licensing their technology as it seems MUCH more accurate than what they are doing.
    You aren't comparing like with like.
    The main task that Shazam has is to identify the name or a track and the artist. I believe that it suggests the album as well, but if it gets that wrong then it doesn't really matter too much.
    With iTunes Match, getting the album (i.e. identifying which version it is) is much more important. If it gets that wrong then it breaks up the flow of an album. This makes the task that match has very much harder.
    In fact, there is a strong argument to say that currently the problem iTunes has is that it is matching too many songs, resulting in matches from different albums.
    I'm sure that match is not struggling to identify whether it has a song or not, but whether it has the correct version of a song. When you introduce different masterings into the process then, depending on the thresholds set, it is probably correct in concluding that it hasn't got a particular version, even if you think it has.
    The solution would appear to me to be a tweaking of the matching thresholds along with the ability to force an upload, but we just don't know what restrictions they have (remember that if Shazam gets it wrong the it doesn't present you with a copy of a new track that you didn't have previously). It is almost certainly not just a case of improving their technology.

  • How come some previously downloaded tracks wont play in itunes 11.1.3, and there is no option to download again

    How come some previously downloaded tracks wont play in itunes 11.1.3 and there is no option to download again?

    Hey KMK14,
    I understand you are having issues with a few tracks in iTunes. The best troubleshooting step may be to delete the song from your library, and re-download using iTunes in the Cloud (if available in your country).
    For more information, see the following:
    Songs in iTunes may not play back completely
    http://support.apple.com/kb/TS4357
    Symptoms
    Occasionally, if a song purchased from the iTunes Store on a Mac or PC was not downloaded completely, the song may not play back fully. The song may abruptly stop during playback, and iTunes may start playing the next song in your library or playlist.
    Resolution
    If iTunes in the Cloud is available in your country, try the following steps to resolve the issue:
    1. Delete the purchased song that is exhibiting the problem from your iTunes library.
    2. Click on the Purchased link in the iTunes Store to view your previously purchased music.
    3. Download your previously purchased song from this list.
    Note: iTunes in the Cloud, which allows you to download previously purchased songs from the iTunes Store, is not available in every country. Learn if iTunes in the Cloud is offered in your country.
    Thanks,
    Matt M.

  • How come some emails I send never get there and I never know as there is no record of it

    How come some emails that I send to not get there. I never know that they haven,t gone because there is no record of me ever having sent them. I now copy myself in and now see at lts of them have not been set as I have never received them. I have a Microsoft outlook account and am very new to using an iPad. I loved it but this feature has really let me down. Help

    If the emails were successfully sent, the emails should be in the account's Sent mailbox. If an email cannot be sent for whatever reason, it will be placed on the Outbox mailbox along with an error message provided. The Outbox mailbox is not available unless there is a email that could not be sent.
    There is no such thing as a Microsoft Outlook account. Outlook is an email client that can be used to access an Exchange account, IMAP or POP account - no different from the iPad's Mail app.
    Who is the email account provider for this email account you are accessing with Outlook and with the iPad's Mail app, and what is the account type - Exchange, IMAP, or POP?

  • How come some apps won't play sound on a USB device but only on the internal speaker while others can?

    How come some apps won't play sound on a USB device but only on the internal speaker while others can? Mac OS 10.8.5

    You can simply set your system preferences
    Sound preference
    output - to whatever your USB device/audio interface is
    Your question seems a bit vague to me though. So can you actually inform us of what it is you are trying to do and give us examples with named kit.

    There are a lot of posts in the forums today with people having problems with iMessage.   There was also a published outage yesterday, so it's possible there are still some issues that may be impacting you both.
    I would just wait it out - I'm sure it will be sorted out soon.

  • Hello. I recently purchased a macbook pro, and is, and learn some things. and I have apple tv, and the question is can I send a movie from macbook and surf the Internet simultaneously without interrupting the movie?

    hello.
    I recently purchased a macbook pro, and is, and learn some things. and I have apple tv, and the question is can I send a movie from macbook and surf the Internet simultaneously without interrupting the movie?

    Welcome to Apple Support Communities
    You can't do that in AirPlay Mirroring. AirPlay Mirroring can only mirror your MacBook's display, so you can't do one thing in your Mac's display and another in the TV.
    This is a feature that will arrive in Mavericks. Read > http://www.apple.com/osx/preview

  • How come I can't update my iPad 1 to the new iOS 6 it says my iOS version 5.1.1 is the latest version?

    How come I can't update my iPad 1 to the new iOS 6 it says my iOS version 5.1.1 is the latest version?

    The iPad 1, coming up on three years since it was introduced, has been given two major and a number of minor upgrades to iOS, more than many tablet manufactures provide. The iPad 1's hardware just can't effectively support many of the features in iOS 6. So I don't think that it's particularly unfair for Apple to no longer provide updates. And yes, I do own and manage a number of iPad 1s.
    Regards.
