Itunes Artwork Problems with Lion

I've noticed some problems lately with Lion and artwork from Mp3 files no longer being seen in the Finder.  Im a new Mac user (only a few weeks) and had lots of issues with itunes from the data transfer but finally was able to get everything working (after 8 hours in the retail store)
Anyway when Lion was installed, there were some hiccups apparently in the 10.4 itunes download.
Now, since it has downloaded there seems to be a new problem with certain files' artwork no longer being recognized in the Finder.  (I'm not even sure if that matters - the artwork is showing up in itunes and ipod but not in the finder).  This is especially affecting new downloaded tracks (not from itunes)..I can add artwork but it will not appear in the Finder...and it also is affecting some older files and folders that did not have any problems.  For certain artists with multiple albums, the artwork keeps disappearing...if you are able to add it for one album, it disappears for the second album...if you fix it for the second album, it disappears again  for the first.  So just wondering if anybody else is having these issues...or has any ideas to fix it.  Id really like to have the artwork in the finder; it just makes me feel more comfortable after all the problems I've had.  And so far everytime someone at Applecare or Retail Store tells me to do stuff on my computer, it has just screwed things up even more.

I'm having the same issues
At first I thought it was the 3rd party app 'Media Rage' not being compatible with Lion.  But this is not the case.
I know this because, I edited the artwork in iTunes; the artwork shows fine.  But, when I take that same iTunes file and drag it to my desktop; nothing.  Artwork disappears.  I've taken the same file, (now on my desktop), move it into Media Rage, and the window shows that the image file is embedded in the .mp3.
Then, I take the file and move it into iTunes, (now 2 copies of the same song), and the artwork shows again.
So, there's definately something wrong in Finder.
Also, this only happens with new .mp3's recently downloaded, (post Lion upgrade).  All my media files pre-Lion, show the artwork in finder ...... 10's of thousands of files are fine.  The only problems are with those post-Lion.
Lastly, to be sure that there wasn't some Media Rage/Lion compatibility issue, I uninstalled media rage, and edited some 'new' .mp3's soley using iTunes.   They are fine while viewed in iTunes.  But in finder; nothing.
I can't imagine Apple overlooking something like this .... after finishing with checking the core processes of the OS, it seems as though the very next items to check and verify would be media, (both audio and video).

  • Problem with Lion 10.7.3 with hp laserjet 3600n network  printer

    Hi
    Problem with Lion 10.7.3 with hp laserjet 3600n network  printer
    Guys i am having a mad day with this new OS and some network printer none of them work with new LION,The software for this printer is currently unavaliable. Please contact the printers manufacturer for the latest software, i need the drivers for this, please give a hand with this issue
    Best Regards

    Exactly the same infuriating problem we and many others get with OS X from 10.6 on when Apple dropped Apple Talk.
    Having spent days fighting to get drivers that will run our older laser printers like HP5000, 5100, 2100, 2200 and 4MV, we came up with a simple solution:
    We use an iMac running 10.5.8 as a print server. All the 10.6 upwards Macs on the same network will see and add the printers immediately through the shared older (Apple Talk) iMac.
    Cheapest and simplest option really .... it'sannoying that a brand new Mac can no longer see existing network printers without complex investigation and trying various downloads.
    Answer is simple and cheap if you happen to own a 4 or 5 year old Mac with an OS lower than 10.6 which still has Apple Talk.

  • Startup problem with Lion OS 10.7.3

    Just recently, I've been experiencing a startup problem with Lion. I don't usually have any issues running my Mac, so I'm at a loss why this is happening now.
    I have an Intel Mac Pro running 10.7.3. I usually leaving my Mac running all the time and only restart when the need arises. In addition to being my main computer, this mac alsocontrols a MacMini that serves as a music server thru screen sharing.
    This past weekend, I restarted my Mac and could not get past the grey screen. The mac chimes, the apple logo appears with the spinning gear, the blue screen briefly appears, but instead of progressing to the desktop it reverts to the grey screen with a repeating cycle of the spinning gear appearing (spins for a while, stops, disappears, reppears spinning, stops, disappears, over and over) - never progressing beyond that stage.
    I decided to reinstall the system and things have been fine for the past few days. Today, restarting again resulting in the same problem.
    I've tried several things without success. I disconnected all peripherals, reset the PRAM/SMC, ran Disk Utility from a install volume and ran repair and permissions (no problems reported). Tried safe mode startup - a progress bar appeared but never fully progressed and could not get to the desktop.
    Recent changes included updating the OS to 10.7.3 and Adobe Photoshop CS5.5 - no recent hardware changes. No bluetooth devices connected.
    Any thoughts? Thanks -

    Thanks -
    I've reinstalled the OS today and am back up and running.
    But, since this is twice this has happened within the past week, I'm worried about might be causing this issue - besides bad luck. My Mac is usually rock solid - can't remember the last time I've had to reinstall the OS in the past few generations of OS X.

    What model of Mac?  I have a MBP running 10.7.3 and do not have that issue.  From the other couple of posts I've seen about it, it seems to be maybe an issue with some iMacs?  Have your tried searching the Lion or iMac forums for similar issues, just to see if anyone has hit on why it is happening?

  • Mountain Lion fails to install saying it cannot create the recovery; I had a similar problem with Lion and the Apple Store that helped me resolve it gave me an installable version of Mountain Lion on a flash drive for my inconvenience....

    Mountain Lion fails to install saying it cannot create the recovery; I had a similar problem with Lion and the Apple Store that helped me resolve it gave me an installable version of Mountain Lion on a flash drive for my inconvenience....is there some trick I am missing or do I need to make an appointment with a genius...

    I have the MacIntosh volume and the Boot Camp partition only.  I know that when I installed Lion, I had to go through a whole back-up and recovery of Windows and then re-format the drive. 
    The tech at the Apple Store had a previous life as a MSCE and was very helpful.  I believe he even said that I should not have htis problem with Mountain Lion which is why they gave me the flash with it onboard.  I was in the process of starting a new job when I went to Lion, so I have waited to do this next and probably last upgrade to this old MBP since I doubt Apple will support this MBP in Maverick. 
    I do not have another installation, so that is not an option.  I will try to create an external, I have plenty of hard drives around and see if I can get it done that way.  It might take me a week or two to get back to it, but I will comment back upon completion of that effort.  Thanks for your help....Dave Iverson

  • My MacBook Pro, 1.83 GHz Intel Core Duo gives me an error message during Lion install. My Intel Duo Core is not an Intel Duo Core and cannot install Lion.  I already have Snow Leopard what is the problem with Lion?

    You need a "Core 2 Duo" for lion, and I'm guessing you only have a "Core Duo"  My wife's macbook is also a "Core Duo" and has Snow Leapord, but cannot install Lion.....

  • Is there a fix yet for the no sound problem with lion on the iMac without having to restart every time I switch the computer on?

    Is there a fix yet for the no sound problem with lion on the iMac without having to restart every time I switch the computer on?

    Try booting in Safe Mode by holding the the shift key immediately after powering on your system. Safe boot mode will for a directory check of your startup volume, then load only the required kernal extensions (kext files), and deletes some cache files. Once the system boots into Safe Mode you can simply restart the system to see whether the issue has been resolved.
    If you still have the issue try resetting the SMC by shutting down the system and disconnecting the power cord for ~15 seconds, then reconnecting the power cord. Next, reset the parameter RAM (PRAM) by holding down the option-option-P-R keys after powering ON the system. Wait until the iMac restarts twice, then let the system boot normally.

  • Latest iTunes update problems with repeated error messages every 65 seconds??

    After this mornings' update of iTunes.  Problems with Applemobiledeviceservices.exe.  Error message every 65 seconds - software exception (oxc06d007e) occurred in the application at location 0x7c812fd3.
    How do I stop this?

    'The installer has insufficient privileges to modify this file C:\Program Files (x86)\Common Files\Apple\Apple Application Support\Web kit.resources\inspector\Images\Spinner Inactive Selected.gif.'
    That one's consistent with disk/file damage. The first thing I'd try with that is running a disk check (chkdsk) over your C drive.
    XP instructions in the following document: How to perform disk error checking in Windows XP
    Vista instructions in the following document: Check your hard disk for errors
    Windows 7 instructions in the following document: How to use CHKDSK (Check Disk)
    Select both Automatically fix file system errors and Scan for and attempt recovery of bad sectors, or use chkdsk /r (depending on which way you decide to go about doing this). You'll almost certainly have to schedule the chkdsk to run on startup. The scan should take quite a while ... if it quits after a few minutes or seconds, something's interfering with the scan.
    Does the chkdsk find/repair any damage? If so, can you get an install to go through properly afterwards?

  • Is there any way to solve the wifi problem with lion?

    Since upgrading to lion my iMac has been having severe problems connecting to my wifi router. As long as it doesn't go to sleep it is fine, but if it does then I have to restart the computer to connect to the router. I know that it is lion as I've got 2 iphones, 2 ipads, and 2 laptops in the house all operating without problems. Please any help would be greatly appreciated. I tried contacting apple and they won't help me unless I pay them, or sign up for apple care. I already paid for the **** computer and the OS why would I pay them to address an issue that is clearly on their end when my computer is still under warranty?

    There's a number of things you can do to try to diagnose the problem, and hopefully it doesn't have to do with a hardware problem.
    I think the number one reason people are having problems with Lion is because most of the installations are UPGRADES, not CLEAN installs. While it's much less of a hassle for an upgrade rather than a clean install, weird and random problems can arise from an upgrade to an OS.
    Another reason is the fact that this is a dot zero release, meaning it's version 10.7.0, meaning there are bugs that have not been fixed yet.
    So the first thing you can do is to repair permissions in Disk Utility and restart your Mac. I don't think that will exactly fix the problem, but it's a step.
    When it's restarted, wait a few minutes and put it to sleep and wake it up and report back.

  • Does Lion support MS Office for Mac 2011? The RoaringApps compatibility list shows Office 2011 having some unspecified problems with Lion.

    Does Lion support MS Office for Mac 2011? The RoaringApps compatibility list shows Office 2011 having some unspecified problems with Lion. Any confirmation yest showing compatibility with Office 2011?

    I'm running MS Office 2011 on Lion and it runs just fine.  No "Full Screen", but it runs just fine.  There may have been an update to install (I know there was an iWork one anyway), but even before I installed any updates Office '11 worked just fine.

  • Any problems with lion running on core 2 duo 2007 MBPro ?

    Curious to hear if anyone has had any problems with Lion before I upgrade.
    Thanks.

    OK, so this is a shot in the dark, but maybe it's worth a try.
    Since the problem only occurs when running on battery, perhaps changing the Energy Saver settings to match the settings used for when it's plugged in will fix the problem. The default settings for how the computer operates are different for the battery and power adaptor. When you unplug the power, the computer automatically shifts to the alternate settings.
    So, try this:
    -Open System Preferences->Energy Saver
    -In the "Settings for" drop-down menu, select "Battery".
    -In the "Optimization" drop-down menu, select "Better Performance".
    -Under the Sleep tab, choose "Never" for both computer and display sleep and uncheck the box for "Put the hard disk to sleep when possible".
    -Under the Options tab, uncheck the first two boxes.
