Icon previews wont show for some mp3 files

For some reason I have about 30 albums (out of around 1000...which isn't too bad of a ratio) that wont show the album art for the icon preview. Instead it shows an image of an old iTunes logo, I can't remember which version of iTunes, but it's the version that has a green note on top of the disc. Is there a way to fix this? Thanks.

Do you have an album specified for the mp3 song. I've noticed that if I only have a couple of songs for an artist and none has the album specified, they don't always show up. If I add the album, they will sync the next time. Hope this helps.

Some mp3 files do not show up on creative centrale

i have some mp3 files that work and are fine on the pc but when i try and open the file on centrale there is nothing in the folder - these files are taged so it cant be that? they are downloaded from the internet and are not from a music cd? so they dont have gracenote recognition - is this the reason ?
thanks if anyone can help

I don?t think that is the reason. I think there is some problem with the synchronization.

Icon previews not showing up in OS X Mavericks

No matter what I switch off and on I cannot get the icon previews to show up for images. My downloads tab in the dock - no icons, just white dotted outlines. Finder windows containing Jpegs, no previews, just blank icons. But new images have icons, and images on the desktop have icon previews...

As said Carolyn Samit
Might be Finder preferences are corrupted ...
Open the Finder. From the Finder menu bar click Go > Go to Folder
Type or copy paste the following:
~/Library/Preferences/com.apple.finder.plist
Click Go then delete com.apple.finder.plist file
You don't have to restart, just Log Out... and Log In again

Okular freezes for some pdf files

My problem is that Okular freezes for some pdf files, the problem is NOT related to how big files are, or how many pics/raster in them. I have many pdfs that exceeds 90 MB and run smoothly. Moreover, I have also many large djvu files that run smoothly. Evince runs all files smoothly as well. I have the latest stable okular with the latest stable poppler versions as of today.
Okular freezes in a somewhat weird way, if I go down from page x to x+1 in contiuous mode, It freezes when I reach the gray bar that spearates the 2 pages, when I want to go back to page x from page x+1, which it is supposed to be cached and should load smoothly, Okular also freezes at the same place.
My problem happens with small books having almost all text, and also happens with scanned books. The weird thing is that some other scanned books and some other all-text pdfs, e.g. academic papers, runs smoothly.

Sounds like a bug. Try to report it to the bug tracker and be sure to add a file that shows the problem so that the devs can backtrace it.

Some mp3 files do not play after upgrading to iTunes 8.0

some mp3 files do not play after upgrading to iTunes 8.0
have upgraded and some songs which used to play on iTunes 7 no longer play. album art is missing. when trying to play on of these songs, nothing appears in the playbar at the top of the window.
it seems the same problem exists in the mac os environment.

The solution I discovered to fix this problem was to create a smart playlist with all song of a kind containing MPEG. Then I went through album by album, and coverted ID3 tags using the value of NONE. This then enabled me to play the songs in iTunes 8.0 and in many cases restored the Album Art.
Thanks!

Hi
Did You ever use - iPhoto ?
Did You may be direct iPhoto to a different Photo Library
As iMovie tries to find the appropriate photo library - it can get lost if iPhoto direct it into a Library on a not connected external hard disk or to a strange location - And iMovie HANGS.
Do - When no other program is running that might interfere
• Start iPhoto - BUT NOW KEEP alt-key (option key) DOWN during the full Start-Up process
• Now iPhoto let's You select Photo Library
• Select the one in Your Account / Home folder / Pictures ! !
• Then iPhoto should start up OK
• Now Quit iPhoto
• START iMovie
Does it still hangs - then I would suspect - iMovie Pref. file
If it Run's OK - Then HURRAY !

How do i change default program for opening mp3 files

Hi all, i would like to change the default program for opening MP3 files, it is currently iTunes, i would like it to be MPlayerX or QuickTimePlayer, ii am sure it is easy once i know where to look, it is easy in Windose, is has just got to be easier with my Apple
Tim

Tim,
Right click on one of your MP3 files and select "get info". In the get info screen you can select the default program to open the file. Then select Change All.. to make it the default for all MP3s.

Unable to load/play some mp3 files on library

This is simply my problem:
When i drag and drop some mp3 files to load them on the library iTunes does simply nothing! No track uploaded, no error messages, nothing...The same thing when i try to play them with itunes. Double click on the file and...nothing! These files are similar to the others, 320 kbps bitrate.I tried to change their names o the advanced options but it didn't work. Please help me.

Verify that the files will play in another player, such as Windows Media Player. If so, you have encountered the classic symptoms of iTunes being strict/finicky/incompetent (pick your own interpretation) about slight variations in the MP3 headers.
Use a cleanup program to get them in shape. Many people here have had success with MP3 Validator.

Why can't I manually fill in info for some WAV files?

I've been importing wave files into itunes and filling in the artist info manually, one cd/playlist at time, with the intent of later converting the entire library to apple lossless. I need to do it this way because importing one CD at a time, I select the whole thing, and then fill in the info for the entire selection at once. If I import a bunch of files first I get a huge disorganized mess because there is no "tag" info. The problem is that, for some reason, artist info entered manually for some WAV files "won't take" but if I change to apple lossless first it will. Can anyone suggest a reason for this inconsistant behavior in the iTunes program?
Gerry

WAV files don't have ID3 tags, which hold a lot of the song info.

I want to transfer some mp3 files to my iPad from my Mac book pro...is this do-able and if so how do I do it?

I want to transfer some MP3 files from my Mac book pro to my Ipad.....is that doable? I have connected my Ipad to my Mac but I don't see where to sync them together.
HELP please!!!

The first thing that you should probably do is to turn off auto syncing just in case....or have you already done that?
Launch iTunes and got to iTunes>Preferences>Devices>Prevent iPods, iPhones and iPads from automatically syncing.
Now you will have to launch iTunes on your own when you connect the iPad to the Mac. After you connect and start iTunes, click on your device, them click on the Summary Window. If you uncheck Manually Manage, etc. - then the option to select Sync only Selected Songs and Videos should be available. I don't think you can have both options selected at the same time.
You should also transfer your purchased music into iTunes is you haven't done that yet. Take a look at this now.
Transfer purchases.

After you transfer purchases, You should be able to select and choose whatever you want to sync with regard to music, playlists, albums, etc ...as well as apps, photos and so on.

There is no iCloud icon. The only place you will see iCloud is in Settings, and that's where you have to go to sign in to create your account.

Icon preview not working for occaisonal file

Hi y'all.
I'm using Illustrator CS4 and there is a particular file that I cannot seem to save with an icon preview.
And yes, I've selected pdf compatibility, with no success.
Could it be that I'm resaving an old file that was originally created in Illustrator 10? Could it be related to the use of many patterns?
Any other suggestions?
B.

Hello to both of you. Sorry for the delay in response!
Yes, I've tried doing a "save as" - even to different places on my hard drive.
And yes to the other suggestion: my folder prefs do say show icon preview.
Any other thoughts? Could it have something to do with the patterns I've used? Patterns can do weird things, I hear....

Icon Preview - Turn off for all system instead of just folders?

I hate the icon preview. I prefer the traditional icon placeholder.
You can go to "show view options," but it only gets rid of it for that folder.
Anyway to get rid of it across the entire system? Thanks.

You also need to click the button at the bottom "Use as Defaults"--I noticed it tends to be greyed out when I first open a Finder window, and I need to make some change to get it to be active again. I just now changed the option in List view to have it stop drawing custom thumbs for all folders in List view, and I had to first uncheck the "Always open..." box at the top for the folder I had open, then I could click the Defaults button at the bottom. Of course, we'll see what happens when I restart....
