ITunes 6 lyrics bug

In iTunes 6 whenever I paste lyrics into the field the text ends up pasted twice. I've tried with the mouse menu, the menu and cmd-v. It's all the same.

This is a truly annoying bug, yes. I found a great free tool on Version Tracker called pearLyrics that looks up lyrics on the web as the song is playing in iTunes and pastes the lyrics directly into the song - only once and not twice. (Uncheck the "Look for chords first" box for just lyrics.) It's not perfect but it works pretty well.
Still, sometimes I need to find lyrics it can't and want to cut and paste... UGH! It's also impossible to alter the lyrics once they're pasted, the text editing does not work correctly at all. Hope they fix this - and soon.

Okay, the iTunes 8.2 bug that I had on my iPod Touch is back with my iPhone

I have new iPhone 3GS that I picked up this morning at 7 am. I love it, but the iTunes 8.2 bug that is being thoroughly discussed in the iPod Touch forum is back and affecting my iPhone 3GS. I did read one random post that a Apple Tech Support person said to unplug the internet (disconnect your internet) before plugging it in. I don't know why, but it worked and makes me wonder if this will also work for iPod Touch users. Weird, but it is definitely a nice work around for now!

I got it again. I plug in the iPhone into my computer and it is telling that it thinks it is a camera because it is trying to launch Canon CameraWindow, MS scanner, Picasa3, etc. Then iTunes says, "An iPhone has been detected, but it could not be identified properly. Please, disconnect and reconnect the iPhone, then try again." Yes, I tried again, and completely uninstalled iTunes and all things Apple to only re-install it. I am at my whits end again!

ITunes 8 "Lyric" tab under "Get info" is missing....

iTunes 8 "Lyric" tab under "Get info" is missing....
Now how do I add lyrics to my songs?!
How do I restore the lyric tab? Is it part of iTunes 8 new design?
Thank you!

Well, it won't show up if it's in WAV format.
WAV format doesn't have tags for lyrics.

ITunes and lyrics

Hi!, I use "Canto Pod" widget to search and copy lyrics for my songs in iTunes, but from first release of 9th version it doesn't work anymore: clicking on "Features Lyrics" tab it appears the iTunes Top Lyrics window, so it's connected and updated, but that I need "Get iTnes Song" tab says it cannot find anything. Also searching manually find anything.
Thanks for your help!

BUG: iTunes truncates lyrics when using COM Interface

Hi!
I am using iTunes 6.0.4.2 for Windows (Latest Version at the moment), running under Windows 2000, both in english. I wrote an application that accesses iTunes using the COM Interface, and i am using the latest type library (1.7).
Everything works fine, except for one odd thing: Lyrics.
When i get Lyrics from a track, they get truncated - one char for each line break.
Tried the following: Added the following lyrics to a Track:
12345678901234567890
Works fine, when i get the lyrics, i get 20 chars and they are intact.
Now, i change the Lyrics:
1234567890
1234567890
When i now get the lyrics, i only get a string with 21 characters - the resulting string is
1234567890<#13><#10>123456789
(<#13><#10> are representing the ascii chars 13 and 10, not the actual strings <#13><#10>!)
For every line break I add, i lose a char. With this Lyrics:
1234567890
1234567890
1234567890
1234567890
the result is:
1234567890
1234567890
1234567890
1234567
iTunes seems to have a problem with line breaks, as they are represented by 2 chars (CR+LF, Ascii 13+10) in Windows rather than 1 char (CR, Ascii 13) in UNIX.
This seems to be a Bug in iTunes. I tried the following JScript Code:
var iTunesApp = WScript.CreateObject("iTunes.Application");
var currTrack = iTunesApp.CurrentTrack;
var Lyrics = currTrack.Lyrics;
WScript.Echo("Current Track: " + currTrack.Name);
WScript.Echo(Lyrics);
and this gives me:
Microsoft (R) Windows Script Host Version 5.6
Copyright (C) Microsoft Corporation 1996-2001. All rights reserved.
1234567890
123456789
As you see, it truncated the last 0.
I am doing my real programming in Borland Delphi 7 Personal Edition, and it happens there as well - for every line break, I lose 1 Character.
The display in iTunes Lyrics-Tab is fine and not truncated, so it just seems to be a bug in the COM-Interface. Not sure where to report them, so i'll just post here. maybe someone knows a remedy?
Here are some Screenshots:

My iTunes Version:
http://img239.imageshack.us/my.php?image=version7fo.jpg
Windows 2000 iTunes 6.0.4.2, iTunes Type Library 1.7

Edit: I just tried a german Version of iTunes 6.0.4.2 on an english Windows 2003 Server with a different Track - same problem here.
I then downgraded to iTunes 6.0.1.3 on the same machine - same: 1 lost char for each line break. It does not matter if I add "fresh" lyrics using iTunes 6.0.1.3 or if I query the ones made in 6.0.4.2.
I don't have iTunes 5.0.1 anymore, but I will try to get it to try with this version.

Is there a fix/solution to the Lyrics bug in iTunes 10.5.2.

If I change or make corrections in iTunes, they aren't reflected on my 4S. The only solution is to completely remove the album, sync my device then re add the album and make my correction then re sync.

RESOLVED
I had the same problem with both my Epson R1800 and CX9400. After 30 minutes with Epson, resulting in the best way to do a clean install of your drivers (outlined in this post:<http://discussions.apple.com/message.jspa?messageID=6761221#6761221>), the CSR said that the issue was Apple Related.
I am hesitant to call Apple, but in this case it proved to be the smartest and best solution. The Apple expert found that this is a known issue stemming from the last security update (Security Update 2008-002) resulting in a conflict involving SSH and printing outlined here: ,http://blogs.zdnet.com/Apple/?p=1437>
The conflict is with a small piece of software called "Instant Hijack" that is installed with many applications offered by Rogue Amoeba. The fix is an update to Rogue Amoeba software such as Audio Hijack Pro. "Instant hijack 2.0.3" is not a stand alone installer, it can only be updated through Rogue Amoeba's software such as Audio Hijack. <http://www.rogueamoeba.com/audiohijackpro/>
Hope this helps, it worked perfectly for me and I have been unable to print a single page since the security update.

ITunes 11.4 bug when used with OS 10.6.8 - won't sync or backup iPhone

I actually just wanted to post this in case Apple monitors these boards. iTunes 11.4 says it's compatible with OS 10.6.8 or later, but there is a bug in it when you're running OS 10.6.8 that prevents you from backing up or synching your iPhone (in my case, a 5s). Doesn't matter what iOS you're running. If you attempt to backup in iTunes 11.4, it immediately ends the backup and only displays "Other" content being stored on your phone. Also, the "Sync" button is greyed out, so you can't even attempt to sync.
No amount of restoring (even a DFU restore) or reinstalling iTunes 11.4 will fix this. The solution is to delete iTunes 11.4 and its related files and to reinstall iTunes 11.3.1, at least until Apple gets the bug corrected. After hours of restores trying to resolve it, I followed this process and it completely solved my problem in about ten minutes. I found the solution with instructions in this thread:
Upgraded to iTunes 11.4 and now it won't sync my iPhone 5s-sync button is greyed out.
Thanks to cwa2, enee and Zak for supplying the solution. I've also summarized the steps here.
(1) Use this link to download a copy of iTunes 11.3.1:
http://www.v3.co.uk/v3-uk/download-review/1957301/apple-itunes-for-mac-1110
(2) Delete the following iTunes 11.4 components (they will be replaced when you install iTunes 11.3.1) by dragging them to the Trash:
/Applications/iTunes.app
/Library/Frameworks/iTunesLibrary.framework
/System/Library/CoreServices/CoreTypes.bundle/Contents/Library/MobileDevices.bun dle
/System/Library/Extensions/AppleMobileDevice.kext
/System/Library/Extensions/AppleUSBEthernetHost.kext
/System/Library/PrivateFrameworks/AirTrafficHost.framework
/System/Library/PrivateFrameworks/CoreFP.framework
/System/Library/PrivateFrameworks/DeviceLink.framework
/System/Library/PrivateFrameworks/iTunesAccess.framework
/System/Library/PrivateFrameworks/MobileDevice.framework
(3) Some people have had trouble seeing the contents of the CoreTypes.bundle to get to the MobileDevices.bundle. You can access it this way:
In the Finder, select Go To Folder under the Go To menu (or Shift+ Cmd+ G)
Type in: /System/Library/CoreServices/CoreTypes.bundle/Contents/Library/
The MobileDevices.bundle will be displayed; drag it to the Trash.
(4) Empty your Trash.
(5) Install iTunes 11.3.1, and go back to living your life. Remember, do not upgrade to iTunes 11.4 again until you're certain the bug has been resolved.

In Reply to all fellow Apple fans: It is great that someone found a work-around to the iTunes 11.4 no syncing problem. I think that is fine for the short term. And I am really glad that we customers have a forum to share information and experiences regarding Apple's products. However, as someone here said, we are all customers; and posting a problem here "IN HOPES THAT APPLE READS THESE POSTS" is NOT a way to resolve this issue or any issue.
PLEASE CONTACT APPLE: Apple Service Center: 1-800-275-2273 - Once you get a ticket number then and only then is this documented and then Apple can follow-through and alert the engineers who will fix this.
The "CWA2" work-around band-aid does several things in addition to reverting back to iTunes 11.3.1. :
1) It ensures that Apple continues to know nothing of the problem.
2) It ensures that the faulty code that is within 11.4 remains there and is perpetuated into future versions.
3) It ensures that YOU can never upgrade to future versions. (If the resident faulty code remains and perpetuates)
So once you have reverted back to 11.3.1, the problem APPEARS to have gone away (FOR YOU) but you have not solved the problem.
Again, respectfully,
1) Sending feedback to apple (using the "Report Bugs To Apple" menu item in Safari will get the information to someone, somewhere and add it to the pile of issues, complaints, suggestions, etc.
2) CALLING the Apple service/support Center at 1-800-275-2273 will put you in touch with a real APPLE person who will begin the process of documenting and forwarding this issue on to those who will fix it.
and
3) emailing Apple directly will make sure that they get the information.
lets get this fixed !!!!!!!!!

WMA- iTunes = no lyrics?

Why doesn't iTunes copy the painstakingly entered lyrics from a WMA files upon conversion?

Thanks for your prompt reply.
As a matter of course, I do not use WMP. However some messages I receive or sites I visit use WMP audio files.
This fix does not seem to work. Before, I got no sound (with the option set for using the current player). Now, I get this error message.
"Windows Media Player cannot play the file because there is a problem with your sound device. There might not be a sound device installed on your computer, it might be in use by another program, or it might not be functioning properly."
This is exactly the message I used to get before I reinsatlled my Sound Blaster card.
iTunes works fine.
Thanks.

Burning Error 4000 - itunes 7.7 Bug???

I have never had any trouble burning with itunes until I updated my itunes from 7.6 to 7.7 . When I tried burning a CD with itunes 7.7 for the first time, I could not burn the CD and recieved the error 4000 message. Like I said, I have never had any problems before I updated my itunes. My drive is updated and I've been through the repair/uninstall-reinstall process and none helped with the situation. I see other people are having this problem but I'm thinking this problem is might concern the 7.7 update. Could this be a universal bug???????

I just read a response to a person with the same problem:
I know I couldn't believe it was that easy either. I actually found it when I ran CD diagnostics....at the very bottom of the diagnostics page was a little comment saying something like "if you are having trouble burning try turning off write cd text option" and i was just like well why has no one else seen this!!
(compliments of someone named comuscle)
I was having the same problem as you and had tech support help me get the "old kingdom" back. I thought going from 7.6 to 8.0 would have helped but alas it was the exact same problem. Went through about 20 discs too. I have tech support working on this and have sent me a regedit that did not work. But this simple easy thing works! By the way I also saw another discussion that people were havinng the same problem at version 4.5...I wonder?

ITunes desperately needs bug reporting tools

Since this is the closest I'm going to get, I'd like to say that for some reason, if iTunes is minimized, whenever I use my media keys for volume (V up/down or mute), it gets counted twice. Works fine if iTunes is closed or focused, but otherwise, it doesn't. I also only noticed this behavior in iTunes 7.1.1. Why do all of their .1 releases break the control interface? 7.0.1 didn't let external programs control iTunes. Stupid people.

hi Lance!
actually we've also got (at long last) a dedicated itunes application feedback form now. it has a "bug report" feedback category. here's a link through to that:
iTunes application feedback
the following page is also helpful ... it contains all the Apple product feedback forms (including the QuickTime one, and all the different iPod ones):

ITunes 12 UI bug: Missing repeat button

I already submitted a bug report to Apple about this but I wanted to confirm with others that in iTunes 12, the repeat control button is missing from next to the shuffle control button at the top.
See this screenshot:

I'm afraid it's not a bug but a bad choice of changing the interface. If you right-click on the shuffle icon, you open a menu you can activate repeat.
The blue repeat sign just gives you info you are in repeat-mode.
So they have made "repeat" a sort of hidden feature you might, or might not, stumble upon (who thinks of right clicking a shuffle-button FCOL)

Itunes progress bar Bug

Hi there
I found a bug in the latest iTunes 8.0.2.
I would like to describe my steps:
I've just imported an Audio CD. At this this time i deleted some songs out of my Library and selected to delete it from the Harddisk as well.
After this click it shows up a window that said me "Delete this song" or something. In this window was a Progress Bar which has the same status as the progress from the importing Audio File. It confused me a little. But iTunes has done the Job correctly.

You're welcome. However, that isn't a bug; it's designed that way. When you click Back Up Now in iTunes it will still backup your device to your computer. This allows you to back up to both iCloud and to your computer at the same time. The only difference when you are backing up to iCloud is that you devce will no longer automatically back up to your computer when you sync with iTunes. It automatically backs up to iCloud instead (by connecting your device to wifi and your charger, and locking your screen). You can still, however, manually back up to your computer at any time by clicking Back Up Now on the Summary tab.

ITunes home share bug?

Hi, I found that is I have two computers on a home network where both have the same user name, only one computer see the share, after I renamed the user of one computer, I was able so see both home shares. Does anyone else experienced this problem?

I see the same problem. All of my five computers have the same user name but each computer has a different name. I did this to make life much easier to keep the in-sync and it has worked for years. Recently I purchased an iPad for my wife, downloaded a bunch of APPS on my system and was going nuts trying to get the Home Share working. I view this as a bug in iTunes but I'm sure that Apple will not see it as a bug. I must have wasted at least 20 hours on this bug, trying to get it to work, going over the instructions numerous times, running numerous searches and finally I find your post. Thank you for posting the issue.
Is there any way to report this as an issue to Apple?

Sync from iPhone 3G to iTunes - not working, bug?

I am trying to restore my music from my iphone 3G to my new PC and iTunes. But every time i select sync Music, iTunes says it will delete all music on my iPhone and replace with nothing. Anyone got any ideas when this bug will be fixed? Or is it just a wrongly worded function, so NOT sync, but copy, and only in one direction? Very confused why iTunes would lack such basic functions...

Thank you for your reply. I understand that it's not a backup device, but I don't understand why such a simple and helpful feature is so hard to achieve? The only reason I can see is, after reading up on this 'bug', is that you are quite right, they don't want you to use it as a backup device, UNLESS, if you spent all your money with Apple and iTunes, because then you CAN sync from iPhone to iTunes. So much for "All you music in one place (but only music Apple made money from)"... Now I have to buy some third party software to copy it all back. Absolute rubbish again from Apple.
