I cannot add artwork after update of Itunes

I updated Itunes. Not only did some files get 'mixed up', but I also lost some album artwork. I was able to replace some of the artwork. Some of my Pearl Jam 'official bootleg' collection, I could put the artwork back on some of them, but not all of them. I don't get it. This is not the first time this has happened over the years, I am on my third Ipod, but I usually can fix it, not this time, I am going crazy here. I tried to change the tags, they do not seem to be write protected. They are not wav files or anything...
If anyone can help...Please...I am desperate. Thanks, Rose

I think you are on the right track. I run the program but it does not work, however, the permissions idea was a good one. It turns out that everything on my external hard drive (previous to me moving to Windows 7) is uneditable. I can't edit anything on them. New music added using Windows 7, no problems using Itunes to edit. Old stuff, prior to conversion, can't edit them anywhere (ie Itunes, WM, Explorer).
Only if I change properties per song, can I make changes. Problem is we are talking 130GBs plus. That is not cool. I can't do it. So the problem is in the actual song file. Any quick fixes to this aside from manually going by song and editing permissions?
Please help and thank you for your time.

Cannot add artwork from computer to itunes 12.1

I can add add artwork from itunes store but most of my collection are old and itunes cannot find them. I have loaded them onto Helium ( It found them) But I cannot get them in itunes. Add artwork way, Copy and paste, Drag them Nothing works.

iTunes 12.1 should support three ways to add artwork using existing image files on your PC, all starting with right-click > Get Info and then the Artwork tab, Then:
click the Add Artwork button, navigate to and select an image file on your computer, or
drag and drop an image file from your computer to the Artwork tab, or
copy an image to the clipboard, for example, from a web page, go to the Artwork tab and press Ctrl-V (the right-click > Paste option that was available in prior releases is not available in iTunes 12.0 or 12.1)
However, there are three cases in which you can follow these procedures but artwork is not correctly associated with or embedded in your media files:
your media are in a format that doesn't accommodate embedded artwork - typically WAV files. To embed artwork you'll need to convert to another format - Apple Lossless or AIFF if you want to preserve lossless quality, AAC or MP3 otherwise.
your media files are read only - to fix this, use Windows Explorer to find the folder that contains your files, right-click and select Properties. On the General tab there's a check box labeled "Read-only" - if this is checked, or is grey (sometimes blue), click the box so that the flag is unchecked and the box is white. Click OK, and then OK again when the "Apply changes to this folder, subfolders and files" option selected. Now try adding the artwork again.
Windows permissions issues are preventing iTunes from updating your media files (there's some anecdotal evidence of a change in this behavior in iTunes 12). See turingtest2's notes on Repair security permissions for iTunes for Windows for advice on fixing this, then try adding the artwork again.

Cannot add printers after updating to 10.4.9

After updating to 10.4.9 I can't install any of my printers (USB, PostScript or FlashPaper). I get the following error:
client-error-request-value-too-long
I've seen several posts here about this, but most of them seem to be old and unresolved, so I'm starting a new post
Any help would be greatly appreciated,
Thanks,

Re-installation of 10.4.9 didn't work for me, but installing CUPS and then running Printer Setup Repair fixed everything:

? after updating to itunes 10.6.3 on my pc, cannot transfer music files to iphone 4s

after updating to itunes 10.6.3 on my pc windows 7, i cannot transfer music from pc to iphone 4s

When I try to "drag and drop" a song, it just does not allow me to do it (circle with line thru it). I should also mention that I just changed PC's as well. I tsnsferred all of the music files from the hdd of the old to the new. After reading some of the other posts, I think this might have more to do with the problem than the switch to itunes 10.6.3?

For general advice see Troubleshooting issues with iTunes for Windows updates.
The steps in the second box are a guide to removing everything related to iTunes and then rebuilding it which is often a good starting point unless the symptoms indicate a more specific approach. Review the other boxes and the list of support documents further down the page in case one of them applies.
Your library should be unaffected by these steps but there is backup and recovery advice elsewhere in the user tip.
If you are running 64-bit Windows and the above steps haven't helped try installing the version of iTunes that can be downloaded from this support document. iTunes 12.1 for Windows (64-bit — for older video cards)
If you still have no luck try reinstalling iTunes 12.0, links in the user tip.

Go to Control Panel > Add or Remove Programs (Win XP) or Programs and Features (later)
Remove all of these items in the following order:
iTunes
Apple Software Update
Apple Mobile Device Support (if this won't uninstall move on to the next item)
Bonjour
Apple Application Support
Reboot, download iTunes, then reinstall, either using an account with administrative rights, or right-clicking the downloaded installer and selecting Run as Administrator.
The uninstall and reinstall process will preserve your iTunes library and settings, but ideally you would back up the library and your other important personal documents and data on a regular basis. See this user tip for a suggested technique.
Please note:
Some users may need to follow all the steps in whichever of the following support documents applies to their system. These include some additional manual file and folder deletions not mentioned above.

After updating to iTunes 7, can't find "purchased" playlist in Front Row

After updating to iTunes 7 (and QT 7), I discovered that Apple has moved the "purchased" list of music to the "store" section. Therefore, I cannot access my "purchased" list from Front Row. Does anyone know how to fix this? My primary use for Front Row was to play my "purchased" playlist from a distance.
I thought about creating a playlist called "purchased" but that seemed messy since there would be two of them in the sidebar. I also considered reconfiguring Front Row, but don't know how to do that.
I don't NEED to be able to do this because I can browse my purchased songs in other menus, such as "Library" or "Recently Added." But, I really like browsing my purchased songs separately from my other songs.
Before upgrading to iTunes 7, Front Row allowed me to do this, but not after the upgrade. Now, iTunes has removed "Purchased" music from the Playlist menu, and placed it next to the iTunes Store.
Is there a way to reconfigure Front Row so that "Purchased" is included as one of the song menus I can browse?
17" iMac Mac OS X (10.4.7) 1.83 Intel Core Duo, 160gb, 512mb

Although I appreciate the empathy, I think we're having different problems. I have no problem playing the songs I've purchased from iTunes, but Front Row doesn't allow me to select the "Purchased" playlist. I can do this in iTunes, but not in Front Row.

Ipod classic won't mount after updating to itunes 11.0.2

ipod classic won't mount after updating to itunes 11.0.2.
I updated to itunes 11.0.2 today, after delaying it for a looong time (I have it @ work and don't like the new layout).
Since then, none of my ipods will mount/show up/update. I've tried all USB ports, 3 ipods, 3 cords. Wondering if you know of any issues. I've restarted the mac about 15-20 times today since as soon as I hook up an ipod, itunes immediately spins the beach ball and won't let me click out of it.
I've restarted the ipods 10+ times each.
All of the ipods DO show up on my desktop though. Just not in itunes anywhere with 11.0.2.
One more thing: It's not the cables or the ipods: they both mount fine when connected to my laptop (running old *** 10.4.11 and itunes 9.)
Machine is a Mac Pro running 10.6.8.

Finding this Post took some time but I thought it was me talking when I read it. I was having the exact same issue. I have a G3 I've been upgrading like mad, including a Sonnet G4-500 CPU a Maxtor 60gb & 80gb HDs 1gb of RAM a new LaCie Firewire800 PCI card Graphics card etc. the latest was installing Panther 10.3.9 on the new 80gb HD and also swapping out the old CD-ROM and replacing with the (Apple standard) Pioneer DVD-RW DVR-110D combo drive in it's place. got everything up and booted and poof! no burning. Toast worked read/write no problem. iTunes could read and import no problem, but wouldn't burn a CD.
Downloaded "PatchBurn 3.1.3" installed, re-booted and all is OK in burner land again :>)
I wanted to just post my additional thanks to the lead to Patchburner, and I'm going to donate to the cause. It's worth a $20 donation just for my joy of not throwing this computer out the window!!
