I am having to recreate my itunes library and do not understand why prior album artwork appeared in my older library but not the new library?  Is there some way to scan itunes for missing album artwork?

do you have a strongly recommended default "managed" library (the iPhoto preference to "copy imported items to the iPhoto library is in its checked state) or a referenced library - you have unchecked that option?
It sounds like you have a referenced library and are now experiancing one of the very siginificant drawbacks of a referenced library and one of the many reasons they are strongly not recommended
Also note that iPhoto '11 may use alises in the originals folder as part of the upgrade
It is important that we understand exactly what you have and what is not sorking - what error messages you are getting
You must NEVER make any changes of any sort to the structure of content of the iPhoto library - there are no user servicable parts in it  --  and you can not rebuild yoru librtary - only iPhoto ir iPhoto Library Manager - http://www.fatcatsoftware.com/iplm/ -  can rebuild a library unless you are a SQL programmer and understand the structure that iPhoto uses

    Update your iOS.
    If you have an iPad 1, the max iOS is 5.1.1. For newer iPads, the current iOS is 6.1.3. The Settings>General>Software Update only appears if you have iOS 5.0 or higher currently installed.

    iOS: How to update your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4623
    If you are currently running an iOS lower than 5.0, connect the iPad to the computer, open iTunes. Then select the iPad under the Devices heading on the left, click on the Summary tab and then click on Check for Update.
    Tip - If connected to your computer, you may need to disable your firewall and anitvirus software temporarily.  Then download and install the iOS update. Be sure and backup your iPad before the iOS update. After you update an iPad (except iPad 1) to iOS 6.x, the next update can be installed via wifi (i.e., not connected to your computer).
    Tip 2 - If you're updating via wifi, place your iPad close to your router to preclude getting a corrupted download.

    The photo sync is one-way: Computer to phone. Photos synced to your phone will have to be extracted from your phone using third-party software, if you want them on your computer, as Apple makes no provision to do so. Since you're using a Mac, you can use this:

  • Is there some way to instruct iTunes to not check for updates of one of my apps?

    2nd gen ipod touch running 4.2.1 (which is the highest availble for that generation).
    I have a free weather app that just came out with an update. This new version requires at least 4.3.
    Since I have the older version of the app, iTunes notifies me of the update, which is not going to work on my ipod. (Actually I downloaded it anyway just to confirm that it wouldn't work, and sure enough, it didn't even want to start).
    So now that I have deleted that version and reloaded the old one, will I be stuck with that number 1 next to the Apps icon for ever more? Is there some way I can instruct iTunes to not check for updates of that app? Or is there some other solution that isn't apparent to me?

    You get all the new iWork suite (Pages 5, Numbers 3 & Keynote 6) free with your Mac purchase. You just need to go to the App Store and sign in with your Apple I.D.
    We warn against relying on the new iWork Apps, they really are just public betas and we are getting a number of users here with unopenable files. Bad news if this is your Masters.
    iWork '09 can be purchased as a Boxed DVD set from Amazon US$27, or online.
    It is much more usable and safer (not totally).
    LibreOffice [free] does not have as polished a UI but is actively supported, and uses open file formats as well as MsOffice formats. It also has the advantage of opening/saving virtually every known format on the planet (wish it would do Pages!) and has a usable but not briliant intgrated database.

  • I got my iPod Touch five days ago, and I cracked the screen. Is there any way to replace it for free?

    Can I replace the screen for free?

    Maybe yes but likely no. Make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store and find out.

  • Need to delete the old page number from a combined file and replace it with the new number. is there a way for me to do that using JavaScipt

    is there a way of using JS to delete the old page number (1,3,32,78) on a combined PDF and inset it with a new page numbers (1,2,3,4) Thank you

    Depends. If the page numbers can be located by their location on the page then a script can be written to redact that area, and then add new page numbers in their place (or somewhere else).

    I loaded iTunes on a new laptop. I copied and pasted my albums to a 4G stick and down loaded them to the new laptop. Placing them in, Libraries – Music – iTunes and than in Itunes used File – add file to library. So far so good. For what ever reason one of the CDs would not load onto the stick. I got the orginal CD and loaded directly to Itunes. Now when I look in  Libraries – Music – iTunes it’s not there but it is in and plays in iTunes. What should I have done or should I be doing? Thanks.

    It's not a unique situation - happens all the time, smaller hard drives getting filled up.
    It's also easy to fix. I just moved my itunes content to a bigger hard drive.
    First I made a backup of the itunes database file - iTunes Library.itl. Just in case anything went wrong.
    Nothing did go wrong, but I'd have it in case anything DID go wrong. That file holds ratings, playcounts, Date Added, and other metadata.
    Second, in itunes change the preferences > advanced tab to tell itunes to put everything on G:
    Set the itunes folder location to something like G:Media or G:iTunes
    This will affect all FUTURE additions to itunes and not do anything to the existing locations.
    Make sure the checkbox for "Keep itunes organized" is NOT checked. I also left the "Copy files when adding" unchecked.
    Third, to move all the files to G: without itunes losing the paths, run the File > Library > Organize > Consolidate command. This will need to run a while, so be patient as it copies all the files to the new G: location. This does NOT delete the originals. You will have to do that.
    Fourth, make sure everything in itunes is OK and you can play stuff in your library. If you're really cautious you can run a script to check for missing/dead tracks.

  • ITunes 11.0.4. can't locate thousands of files (they are still on the harddisk though) - is there a way to simply relocate them (without having to do it for each individual song which would take forever)?

    After updating to iTunes 11.0.4.,
    iTunes 11.0.4. can't locate thousands of files (they are still on the harddisk though).
    is there a way to simply relocate them (without having to do it manually for each individual song which would take forever)?

    Are these "thousands of files" in an iTunes library that simply cannot be found?
    If so, assuming you know exactly where they are, hold the "Option" key while opening iTunes from your dock.  You will then be given a "Choose Library" option.  Choose it and point to your library.

    Try the Songs option from the drop down list control near the top right. Use the same control to turn off Show Artwork if needed/desired.

  • I moved all my music from c: drive(because it was full) to an external harddrive and now itunes can't find any of my music. Is there a way to get Itunes to find music on external drive without having to place all the music back onto the c: drive? Thanks

    Hopefully you moved the entire iTunes Media (or iTunes Music) folder to a new path on your external drive. Copy your iTunes library folder out to the root of the external drive, e.g. X:\iTunes (where X: is your external drive), then move the media folder inside it. Hold down shift as you start iTUnes and keep holding untila asked to choose or create a library. Choose the library at X:\iTunes\iTunes Library.itl. Should all be good.
    Failing that, download and run my FindTracks script and point it at the new location of your media folder.

  • HT201209 My mom who lives in Canada send me an iTunes gift and I can't open it. I live in the USA. Is there a way for me to redeem that gift?

    My mom who lives in Canada send me an iTunes gift and I can't open it. I live in the USA. Is there a way for me to redeem that gift?

    No, all iTunes gifts and gift cards are country-specific - so a Canadian gift can only be redeemed in Canada onto a Canadian iTunes account.
    I assume that it's an emailed gift ? She can try resending it to somebody else in Canada : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1541
    Or, and if she's been charged, she can try contacting iTunes Support and see if they will refund or credit her : http://www.apple.com/support/itunes/contact/ - click on Contact iTunes Store Support on the right-hand side of the page, then Purchases, Billing & Redemption
