Is There Any Way to Stop iTunes from Deleting Album Covers?

I have just spent hours organizing my music library, only to close iTunes for a moment and open it again to find half my album covers have been deleted. I know how to fix it, but you can imagine my frustration. "Get Album Artwork" seems to have stopped functioning as well, so thats manually fixing around 30 albums. I've seen people ask about this problem before. It's happened to me before but never to this extent. My main questions are:
1. Why does this happen?
2. How can I stop it from happening in the future?

I guess there's no way to make it stop, judging by the lack of any response.

  • Every time I edit an album, iTunes scrolls to the top of the page when finished. Is there any way to stop iTunes from scrolling to top whenever I'm done editing?

    I'm trying to consolidate different artists/songs so it's easier to navigate my music. Every time I edit a song or album it scrolls me back to the top of the page... Very irritating, especially when I'm in the letters w, x, y, for example.... Haven't gotten that far yet, but anyway, is there a setting to stop this, for when I do get that far?

    is there any way to transfer itunes from my old computer to new computer. Any help is greatly appreciated. THANKS

  • Every time I turn my MBP on, a terminal window opens. Is there any way to stop this from happening?

    Whenever I boot my MPB up, a terminal window opens. It isn't really causing problems, just annoying. Is there any way to stop these windows from popping up?

    Open Accounts preferences, click on the Login Items tab. If you see the Terminal listed then select it and click on the Delete [-] button.

  • Is there any way to stop websites from auto-playing their content (music/videos) when the page loads?

    Certain websites have ads or content that plays music or videos and they are not always easily found to turn off. This also slows down my connection as it is constantly streaming or buffering and I have no way of stopping it. Is there any way that I can disable the websites from automatically playing their content?

    Is there any other options for this?
    I don't want to block the audio/video, and I do use ad-blocker... However, it's just really annoying when I "open link in new tab" for something I want to look at a little later. Especially if I open several at once, I get multiple tabs playing audio and/or video, and sometimes it takes a while to figure out which tab is doing what...
    The issue is I don't want to "block" them -- I just don't want them to play until either the tab is "activated" by clicking on it, or better yet, to only play when I click on the audio/video link.
    Thanks!

  • I have a new pc, and when updating ipad software it will erase all apps etc, is there any way to stop this from happening and make my new laptop my ipads "home" pc???

    I have a new laptop, and have copied over my existing itunes libary, but when i connect my ipad, and go to update the software to the new version it warns me that it will wipe all my apps etc..... How can i stop this from happening and make my new laptop the "home" for my ipad??
    Any help gratefully received! :-)

    Macs use an application called Migration Assistant to copy material from the old Mac to the new one. The macs are connected together and each runs Migration Assistance and the user chooses what stuf to copy onto the new Mac.
    Unfortunately I do not know how to do this between pcs or between a Mac and a Pf or even if it's even possible.

  • Is there any way to prevent iTunes from making duplicates of all my tunes?

    I've a repeating problem that iTunes duplicates my music files every time I open it. After it had made duplicates (and triplicates) of every tune, I blew away the library, went through my music folder and got rid of all the dupe files, and reimported it into iTunes. I haven't used iTunes since, but when I opened it today to start rebuilding my playlists, it is again making dupes of my files. When I open it, it says it is "Updating iTunes library...', and after it finishes there are more copies of files already there.
    Any way to prevent this?

  • I like to manually upload my photo's to my computer, then import them to iPhoto. My problem with this is that now I have duplicates and it's taking up way to much space on my computer. Is there any way to stop iPhoto from creating duplicates like this?

    I always manually transfer photo's from my SD card to a new folder under Pictures, and then import them into iPhoto. After doing this for quite some time I know realize that I have all these duplicate photo's between iPhoto library and Pictures and a ton of wasted space. I want to continue to upload photo's to a new folder so I can organize them myself and then access them anytime through the finder, if I upload them through iPhoto then they're stored in "iPhoto Library" which can only be accessed through iPhoto. Is there anyway to stop iPhoto from duplicating photo's and just use it to catalog photo's from Pictures? Also on a side note, when using multiple SD cards in one folder, my camera often comes up with duplicate names for totally separate photo's, anyone have an suggestions for this?

    Yes you can set iPhoto to run in Referenced mode but don't. It makes more work for zero advantage, is unnecessary and only storing up problems for the future.

    has how to do, and why you shouldn't.
    Using iPhoto makes the question about the filenames moot too... Other than that you'll need to renae the files.

  • Is there a way to prevent iTunes from deleting TV shows and leaving them in the cloud.

    I understand the benefits of the cloud. I'm fully on board. I however have to travel often for work and I am often far away from the luxury of wifi. I understand why it does what it does (removing tv shows and movies I haven't seen a while). Is there a way to turn it off though?
    Thank you so much!

    Unless there is a new feature I'm not aware of iTunes does not arbitrarily delete any content from your computer without your explicit action.

  • Is there a way to stop iTunes from automatically pausing videos when switching spaces in Lion?

    I have some technical podcasts and iTunes U vids that I like to watch, but occasionally, I need to navigate away from the video to do something with another application... while listening to the audio of the video.
    Every time I attempt this, however, iTunes stubbornly assumes that I no longer want the video to play since my focus is somewhere else. Frustrating! I've looked through preferences but cannot find a way to override this irritating feature. Any suggestions welcome.

    No, say I just downloaded the new Spoon album and want to listen to it while I'm looking around in the main music list at other stuff.
    I'd drag the new Spoon tracks into my static playlist named "Now Playing"
    By static I mean, not a smart playlist.
    I could just as well decide to listen to a Genius mix or itunes DJ, or even a smart playlist such as genre=jazz.
    Any playlist but the main Music playlist, so I won't have to deal with that annoying jumping around while I'm working with other tracks.

  • Is there any way to stop links from redirecting me based on my country location?

    This issue has been addressed tons of times (mostly dealing with Google), but with no satisfactory results. I realize the heart of the problem may lie with my internet provider, but I can't believe there isn't some way to force Firefox to go directly to the link you click on without redirecting. I tried changing the geo.enabled about:config preference to false, but that didn't work. I also tried to reduce the redirects in one of the preferences (can't remember which now) from 20 to 1, but then I just got an error message on the browser saying firefox could not complete the action, even though the correct web address showed up in the URL bar. Any answers? And please don't say to update my plugins!!!!!

    You can't prevent this.<br />
    Website can locate you by using a reverse DNS look up and automatically present you local pages.<br />
    Most web servers allow to go to different international localized web pages and store this choice in a cookie, so you need an allow exception for cookies in such a case.

  • Is there any way to stop Netbeans from.....?

    ...automatically filling stuff out for me???? It's so frustrating! I'll type frame, and it'll change it to FRAMEBITS, I'll just hit return, and it'll put ABORT in there. These are things I would never want in my program in a million years. So why does Netbeans assume you want them automatically put in there when they are actually the source of much frustration, and also, can you keep it from happening?

    I'll just hit return, and it'll put ABORT in there.Somebody already customize your installation of NetBeans?
    Go to Tools--> Options, select Editor in the left pane, then the Code Templates tab in the right pane.
    Eliminate whatever's not going to be useful to you. You can also add your own templates ... believe me, they make life easier.
