Interesting artwork bug...

This is going to be an interesting one to explain. Please read VERY carefully:
On my iPhone, along with many other songs, i have the In Flames album titled "Come Clarity" and the All That Remains album called "The Fall of Ideals." For some odd reason, whenever i pull up the In Flames album ON MY IPHONE, it displays the All That Remains (ATR from here on out) artwork instead. My initial thought was that, somehow in my media library, it had put in the ATR artwork for in flames - i wish it had been that easy.
If i go into my music library ON MY COMPUTER, it displays the proper album artwork and if i right click -> get info -> album artwork tab it shows the proper In Flames, Come Clarity album artwork (which is an awesome album artwork by the way). If i have only the in flames album on my iphone, obviously, it displays the proper album artwork because the getalbumartwork(), or equivalent, would have nothing else to pull from the directory. Now for the fun stuff.
As i said above, the album artwork is correct on my computer for in flames, however, when having the iphone plugged into my computer - and this is the important part - i click on the iphone device, then music, putting me in the iphone directory, and go through the same steps as above (right click -> get info -> album artwork tab), it still displays the correct album artwork. Put simply, the artwork is correctly stored on the iphone itself, however, there seems to be something wrong with the getartwork() function in the coding itself, or at least you would think so; but why, then, would it perfectly pull my nearly 2000 other songs and their album artworks from the directory?
I have tried deleting all the music from my phone and then re-syncing multiple times. I have also tried different syncing orders; for instance, putting in flames on first, then the rest of my music, or putting on all my other music first, then the in flames album. All of which have the same end result.
If anyone can figure this one out, you're my hero.
Thanks in advance.

Apple TV Artwork bug?

Hi Folks, hope you all keeping well. Looking at some general discussion on the web is there or is anyone else experiencing an artwork "bug" with their Apple TV? I have iTunes Match etc enabled and all the artists, albums etc all show up and will stream ok. However very little or no of the artwork is showing up, either matched or uploaded? Getting the standard music cleft symbol beside most artists and tracks. From what I can gather others experiencing similar problems and sine putting it down to a problem that needs to be fixed with software upgrade? Appreciate any feedback folks. N.b, Turing off match and re-enabling again on Apple TV dies not resolve. Bit of a pain more than anything else since we all live getting our artwork in place :-). Thanks folks

Sadly I just discovered this same issue with individual tv show artwork no longer displaying on my Apple TV2 after updating to 4.4.3 just a day and a half ago. I was so happy when (around 4.x) they finally had gotten Apple TV2 to display individual artwork for each of the tv shows I had applied it to... now its no longer working again. Sigh. And optical audio still keeps cutting out / dropping completely with both version 4.4.2 and 4.4.3. Hopefully BOTH of these issues can be fixed quickly with a new software update release.

Interesting thread bug

Hi,
I'm developing a client/server whiteboard system for my term project. I've hit to an interesting threading bug. The very brief description of the goal is like this: A client has a method (getActiveUsers) to get the list of active(logged in) users from server. In order to accomplish this, it sends a command to server to receive the user list. In an undeterministic time frame, the server sends a message as a reply, which includes the user list. When the client gets the user list, it is expected to update its local user list. The code for these goes like this:
// The method that returns the list of active users
// in the system
public Vector getActiveUsers()
synchronized(activeUsers)
channel.send(new ListActiveUsers(username));
try
activeUsers.wait();
catch (InterruptedException e) {}
return activeUsers;
// The method that is fired when a new message
// is received (Observer pattern)
public void update(Message msg){
if (msg instanceof ActiveUsersList)
synchronized(activeUsers)
activeUsers=((ActiveUsersList)msg).activeUserList;
activeUsers.notifyAll();
return;
inform(msg);
the Error message is this:
java.lang.IllegalMonitorStateException: current thread not owner
     at java.lang.Object.notifyAll(Native Method)
     at domain.Whiteboard.update(Whiteboard.java:49)
     at services.messaging.Channel.inform(Channel.java:95)
How can a thread be not owner of an object when it enters a synchronized block for that object?
Thanks for any help.
Regards...

You synchronized on one object, referred to by your variable activeUsers, but then you reassigned activeUsers to refer to a different object and called notifyAll on that object. Remind yourself of the difference between variables and objects.

ITunes 9.2 - Artwork Bugs

Hello,
So in addition to the lost artwork that seems to occur with each iTunes update, there is now another bug.
When viewing my library in list, grid, or cover flow many albums will only have the grey music note box, however if I click on the box the artwork will show up in the bottom left artwork viewer. Some of them will populate if I right click and choose 'Get Album Artwork' but with others that is to no avail.
It would be great if Apple could fix this as well as just fixing the general handling of artwork.

Has anyone found a fix for this? It is persistent.

Help with artwork bug

I have a coverflow bug I haven't read about elsewhere. In coverflow view, only a fraction of my covers show up correctly, even if i have the artwork in the lower left corner of itunes. Instead, i get a bizarre combination of the itunes library display and my desktop, as an album cover (i.e., not the album with a question mark). I have the current version of quicktime. Is this an inability of my video card to display accurately? i am using a powerbook g3 pismo (upgraded to a g4) with plenty of ram. Anybody seen this?

7.1 does not fix TV Show Artwork bug

I was happy to see the new sorting features in iTunes 7.1 but I was quickly bummed out to see that the bug pertaining to TV Show Art work still remains.
The bug I am referring to is when you have TV Show Episodes from multiple seasons of the same show the artwork that shows for that show in Cover Flow is whatever artwork there is for the first instance of that show:
Example:
Single Episode
Invader Zim Vol 1 Episode 1 = Volume 1 artwork
or
Invader Zim Vol 3 Episode 1 = Volume 3 Artwork
Two Episodes Different Seasons
Invader Zim Vol 1 Episode 1 = Volume 1 Artwork
Invader Zim Vol 3 Episode 1 = Volume 1 Artwork
I hope this will get resolved soon, as i can see this also being a problem for the AppleTV

Have you reported this to iTunes developers by going to Mac OS X tab above and then Feedback and then leave the feedback about iTunes? They almost certainly won't see your post here in the user-to-user technical help discussions.

ITunes 7.3.1 still has a nasty artwork bug

When I installed iTunes 7.3 I noticed some artwork was gone. I compared the actual file sizes to the backup and there was no change at all. I was able to get the covers again from the iTS, but as I really want to have the artwork inside the files, I tried to paste it into the tags (like I used to do since 7.0). That doesn't work, after pasting it, the artwork is gone again completely, but the files are now 4mb bigger. The artwork of these files (about 300 in total, and I cant figure out why some and some not) can not be browsed, but the rest of the tags is fine and the songs play just normal.
I trashed one of the affected albums and re-added it from the backup. Now the tags in iTunes were gone completely! I re-entered the correct tags and let iTunes get the artwork from the iTS. The artwork shows, but not for all files of the album. So again I tried to paste it into the tags of all songs, and voila: all artwork of this album is gone again and the files are 4mb bigger.
Same behaviour in iTunes 7.3.1.
I'm happy I have a good backup of my music, and I think the artwork is still inside the files, but iTunes 7.3 and 7.3.1 mess it up. From what I see only non-iTS files are affected, but only iTS artwork is lost. NOT nice.
Any ideas? I'm no really a friend of downgrading...

Interesting PCD bug? Runaway process creating objects?

Currently, we are on EP 6 sp 16. We have had a very interesting situation occur with our development portal at random times. Not always, but every so often, the following happens. We will either copy an oobject (for instance an iView) to another folder or change the id on an object. As we step through the wizard on the final step where it should complete the action, it will sit at 50% complete and just flash over and over....50%....over and over....after several minutes, it will error out. You would think that nothing happened, but what actually happens is that it makes THOUSANDS of copies of the object...naming them like myiview_0, myiview_1, myiview_10, myiview_100, myiview_1000, myiview_2, myiview_20....and on and on. And yes, there will be thousands made. As you can guess, it is VERY annoying. Luckily our folder layout makes it easy to simply go delete the whole folder with all the multiple copies, but had we not done that.....geeez....lots of work. What is worse is that sometimes, you can't actually see all the duplicate objects until the portal is restarted (I found this out, because they showed when I tried to create a package but not in the PCD in content admin). They actually are invisible in the PCD!
Sooooo anyone else run across this? Any idea why this might be happening?

Well...no one seemed to be having the same problem. We have not found the root cause, but thankfully, using the PCD Inspector tool makes it MUCH easier to delete all the "corrupt" objects (though it is still time consuming as each "hiccup" creats about 30 pages of bad objects). I will just mark this one up to one of those portal "oddities". =)

ITunes 7.3 artwork bug

Just upgraded iTunes to 7.3 and have a problem with new albums i add -- in coverflow it seems to randomly list some new albums multiple times (with multiple covers next to each other). i have checked to make sure all the tabs under 'info' are identical .. it's not as though one has 'album artist' listed and one does not.
anyone else having this problem? this has happened now to about 3 of the 6 albums i've added since upgrading.

HT1473 Has anyone found a way around the artwork bug for iTunes 11 in Windows?

This thing has been ******* me off for 2 years and I can't contact Apple directly to rage at them. Hopefully someone there sees this. Has anyone found a way around the bug?

I assume you are using transitions. This is not a bug - it is how iMovie handles transitions.
There are two settings for transition overlap - full and half. If you are using photos only, you may get the results you want by setting transition overlap to half.
For full details, see iMovie Help here on Transition Overlap.

Album Artwork Bug

Ever since I have upgraded to OS 10.6.2 I can't add artwork to an album by dragging and dropping it into iTunes. I have done it this way for years and now it won't let me do it. Am I the only one having this problem?

StayWhatYouAre2 wrote:

no, various users have reported this. looks like this options has been discontinued in iTunes 9
you can still add artwork by going these routes:
A) single item
+get info+ on the item, click on the artwork tab, click on add, navigate to the image on e.g. on your desktop
B) multiple items
+get info+ on the files, +right click+ on the image in e.g. Safari and choose copy, paste (cmd-v) the image into the artwork box

Really interesting bizarre bug in TreePath, I'm confused beyond belief

Inside a large program, in which I use custom TreeModel instead of DefaultMutableTreeNode's etc, I have a following method which needs to recurse up a TreePath.
This seems to be a MAJOR bug, because if you look in the following ten lines, I verify several times that the argument is non-null (and even return early if it is).
However, at the line "while( ... )" it throws a NullPointerException! What, is the keyword "while" null ???!?!?! Because we know that tp is NOT null.
We also know that we can call "tp.getPathCount()" because I do so and even print it out!#
If you have any thoughts, please CC to [email protected], because at the moment I'm sure Sun will refuse a bug report (without more info) and I doubt I can make a small program that demonstrates this - otherwise surely it would have been found before!
public static Hashtable getMapping( TreePath tp )
System.out.println( "tp = "+tp );
Hashtable rc = new Hashtable();
if( tp.getPathCount() > 0 )
else
return rc;
System.out.println( "tp = "+tp );
int tpcount = tp.getPathCount();
System.out.println( "tp.count = "+tp.getPathCount() );
while( tp.getPathCount() > 0 )
return rc;
}

Oh dear. After prolonged testing, I realised the problem: when the TreePath is the root, it returns null as parent , which happens just before I do the test as to whether to carry on - I had originally put the test just before that, but had moved it to just afterwards, thereby causing the problem!
Very foolish, really.

Missing genius button and artwork bug

I just updated my iPhone and I noticed somethings that annoy me. Firstly, the Genius button that used to be in the middle of the bar when a song was playing is now nowhere to be found. Second, now when I add artwork manually to my albums the artwork is misaligned with a little strip of the rightside of the cover art appearing at the beginning of the left side. Help?

I read some other posts and one guy said you have to create a playlist in the side bar, then open the play list. Once you do that the burn disc button will appear. If you are showing you entire library, the button will not show.
I just tried it and it works.

Interesting security bug

I just encountered this with my Essbase user community: We are forcing password changes, and some users are getting locked out after they change their passwords. It seems that this is why it's happening: 1. User logs in on Sheet1, using ID and current password. 2. Essbase "remembers" the ID and current password, so user can do implicit connections (just using Essbase Retrieve, for example) on Sheet2, Sheet3, etc. 3. User is prompted for new password and changes password. 4. The new password is not "remembered", even though it's used to connect Sheet1. Essbase still "remembers" the old password, and will try to use it on the next implicit connection. So...the obvious solution is for users to just make sure they either disconnect and then reconnect after changing their passwords, OR, make sure they do an explicit connect when they go to a new sheet. I know, this is not anything major--just thought I'd mention it. Jared

any solutions to how to install an older update to see if you tube can be loaded

Interesting siri bug.....?

I tried to create a calendar entry today for a John Smith. But siri refused until I told her which of the 25 "johns" I have in my address book is the right one. Trouble is John Smith isn't in my address book and never will be! Its a one off appointment.
Surely there is a way to make it create an appointment without having to refer to my address book???
