ITunes / CoverFlow/CoverArt displaying wrong covers / Need help

Hi,
I'm having severe trouble with iTunes and CoverFlow/CoverArt. My problems began when I noticed that sometimes wrong covers are displayed.
Although all of my songs have embedded covers, CoverFlow/CoverArt displayed not the covers that are embedded. I learned that CoverFlow does not display the cover of each song, but the cover of the album th song belongs too.
Although in my opinion this feature (CoverFlow) should always display the embedded cover and only use the album cober, when there is no embedded cover (there should be a propertiy where I can select how CoverFlow should work).
Now I downloaded and installed iTunes 8 and the first thing that I have noticed is, that CoverFlow works even worse. To verify my problem, I changed some of my songs in my iTunes library. For this test I changed all of my ABBA songs. I delete every album information (and the sorting album information) from all of my ABBA songs. For iTunes it should look like there are some ABBA songs that do not belong to an album. Now CoverFlow can't display any album cover because there is no ABBA album anymore.
Although I deleted every album information there are still some ABBA songs that are display with a wrong cover. I have learned that CoverFlow displays AlbumCovers. But why are some of these ABBA songs still displayed with the wrong cover - although there are no album informtion?
*Hey apple - although I'm a great fan of iTunes and the CoverFlow feature (with is great when using PartyJukebox)- I'm now totally mixed up when trying to understand how this works.*
Can anyone help me understanding how CoverFlow works and how I can manage to get CoverFlow to display the embedded cover of my songs instead of some mysterious album covers.

See if you can find a window PC and do a restore there. After that reconnecting it back with your Mac

I just created an iCloud email and I want to use that email for my iTunes account as well. I need help switching the old apple ID because I do not remember anything associated with that email and I don't know the security questions or the login for that old email.

You cannot do that. The AppleID you used to create the iCloud account is an active primary email address. The email address you created with the iCloud account is also an active primary email address (all Apple domain email address automatically become AppleIDs as well). You cannot replace the primary email address on one active AppleID with the primary email address on another, active AppleID.
You can use your iCloud email/AppleID with iTunes, but it will be a separate account, so all your previous purchases remain tied to the other AppleID you have.
I don't understand your statement that you could not remeber your old AppleID password, as you would have had to use it to create the iCloud account in the first place (the first step of creating the iCloud account required you to login with your existing AppleID and password)?

IPad3-iTunes won't display album covers-freezes

iTunes locks up on my iPad 3 and does not display Album covers. All else works fune. I have restored as a new iPad and iTunes is fine. Unfortunately, after loading apps from iTunes back on, iTunes begins to again have same problem.

I've got the same problem and I have all the new drivers. It's driving me crazy!!!

ITunes App Store Gift Card, I need help, really.

Okay, so I got two iTunes giftcards for Christmas, yes a while ago. But now, I needed the iTunes cash, so I redeemed them. Well, the first one, was $10, I got my money fine. Now, this one is $15. Now, here's the problem, I need help. I have two major things to say, first off, I peeled the stupid label off (I think peel it stupid, it should be scratch) and some parts of the letters got peeled off, but that's not the huge issue. The issue is I think some whole number/letters got peeled off, because the code is like thing NNNNN NNNNNNN NNN. Okay, I'm not saying the code, for obvious reason, but "N" just means number or letter. So basically there are 5 characters, space, 7 characters, space, then 3. I think this is odd, because my other code was on whole code, not spaces. Also, the spaces have room for other characters. Some letters are also messed up a bit, like an "M" is losing a bit of the leg to the right. Then a S, is missing basically a whole half. Now, can someone tell me if the code for App Store is supposed to be 5, 7, 3. If not, can I get a refund, or a new card from Apple?

Premiere CS4 - Export is Fuzzy, Display is Clear - need help

I'm on a MacBook Pro, and running Premiere Pro CS4.
I need to export a Quicktime (.mov) with h.264 at 1280 x 720.
This is a quick edit, so I'm just piecing together a .PNG photo (opening), another .mov file (the main file), and then a closing graphic (that is also .mov).
So, the main file is 1280 x 720, FPS is 23.98. The video is clear and crisp. When I import into my project, the video is also clear and perfect.
The closing graphic is similar size, but FPS is 29.97. It's a .mov file.
These are the project settings:
Editing Mode: Desktop
Timebase: 29.97 frames/second
Frame size: 1280 x 720
Square Pixels
Progressive Scan
Display format: 30 fps Dro-Frame Timecode
Video Preview: Quicktime
Codec: H.264
In my timeline and in the monitor, everything looks crisp and clean. And when I export the file, I have it set at 1280 x 720 Quicktime H.264. (Progressive Scan, 29.97) The preview looks crisp and clear. But after I export it, in the edited version, the video is fuzzy. The words on the opening slate are fuzzy.
And the end slate does not render properly. There are lines that run across it and it's very pixalated.
I'm new at Adobe Premiere. So I am a beginner at all this. If you could help me figure out what I am doing wrong, I'd be grateful.

Hmm... My CS5/AVCHD 1st Impressions http://forums.adobe.com/thread/652694?tstart=0 includes a link to what I built for CS5
Your computer is going to be a bit slower, but I don't see anything really obvious that would cause the output to be choppy
But... have you considered converting to HDV to see if that edits better for you?
Convert AVCHD to HDV http://forums.adobe.com/thread/390605?tstart=0
or use Cineform Neo Scene http://www.cineform.com/neoscene/
Added... Looking at my notes, I use a different AVCHD setting in CS5... have you tried other AVCHD project settings?

ITunes Coverflow Incorrect Display

I'm having trouble getting album art to display properly for the 2.5 seasons worth of TV Shows I have downloaded.
When displaying the episodes in coverflow view or album view, all episode artwork is from season 01. If you click on an individual episode, the correct artwork is shown in the box on the left.
I have tried clearing cache, deleting and re adding artwork, both manually and by letting iTunes do it,... nothing works.
It persists in displaying the season 01 art for all episodes unless you click on an in=dividual episode, then and only then will you get the correct picture.
I am out of ideas and am looking for advice, this is the first and so far only issue I have ever had with any ersion of iTunes and it is driving me nuts.

Hi Corelogik,
I was running iTunes 7.0. and had weird Coverflow and screen update problems as well (no art, screen split down the middle, no response, ...). I'm not sure we have the exact same problem, but here's how my display problems got resolved.
1. Update to the latest iTunes 7.0.2.
2. Problems still persist (likely the stage you are at now).
3. Go into Help:iTunes Help.
4. In the search box, type "rebuild library" (without the quotes).
5. Scroll to the bottom, where the red buttons with the white plus are.
6. Double-click the "How to recreate your iTunes Library" item.
7. Follow the instructions from there on.
This will rebuild everything and takes quite a while (not hours, though). At the end, all default smartlists showed up in doubles, which was no big deal; just delete the extra ones (my regular playlists were fine).
Of course, backup your music/movies before you do this — you never know.
Hope this helps,
Paul

One iTunes Store account, two computers, really need help!

Ok, I have just one iTunes store account however i had 2 different computers i used to download the music. my home computer was originally the one i used but then when i moved, i lost internet so my boss let me use my work computer. however after about 5 years of collecting music on that computer my boss got sick and abruptly sold the business. sadly my music went with that computer. I need to find out what to do to get my purchased music downloaded to my laptop now that i have internet. it was all under the same account just downloaded to my work computer instead of home since homes didn't have internet at the time. what can i do?! I've lost all that music! i can see on my account where i purchased it, but i can't seem to get it on my laptop now! please help!!

the following post by Zevoneer, though slightly off topic, says it all:
Did you *back up* your purchases before you you reinstalled your system? If you erased your drive then the purchases will have been erased along with everything else. If you didn't make a back-up of your purchases to restore from (as you are advised to do) then I'm sorry to say that the policy on lost purchases is that you have to pay to download them again:
"Once a Product is purchased and you receive the Product, it is your responsibility not to lose, destroy, or damage the Product, and Apple shall be without liability to you in the event of any loss, destruction, or damage." iTunes Store: Purchased content can be downloaded only once
*You could try contacting the iTunes Music Store Customer Service and you might be able to persuade them to sanction a second free download*. There have been occasional reports in the iTunes forum of this happening, however just be aware that they are not under any obligation to do so. If you click on this link you'll be able to email your query: iTMS Customer Service
If you have an iPod that still has the purchases on it the transfer of purchased content from the iPod to authorised computers was introduced with iTunes 7. You'll find details in this article: Copying iTunes Store purchases from your iPod or iPhone to a computer

Trying to inistall itunes keep getting error code 2330 need help unistalling and reinstalling

Im trying to install itunes but keep getting an error message. (The installer has encountered an unexpected error installing this package, this may indicate a problem with this package. Error code 2330
I need some resolution please assist. I did call microsft but they want to charge just to get help. I need assistance please.
Thank you

Although it's a better bet with a 2330 than a 2349, I'd try 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?

Site won't display in IE, need help BAD...

Heya,
My website
http://www.firetree.us is not

Your usage is not XHTML vs HTML - it's just bad code.
<script> is always
paired with </script>. XHTML doesn't affect such tags.
It's only the self
closing tags that are affected by XHTML - <hr />,
<br />, etc.

That's why.

Seems like a habit that is out of date to me!

Tree component children displays [Object, Object] need help displaying the names :)

hey guys... i've run into yet another problem...
i have a tree component that gets its data from a httpservice.. xml file.
i then pasrse thru the recieved xml to create a dataprovider for the tree component. the code for that is below...
<mx:Tree id="tree" dataProvider="{treeData2}" showRoot="false" width="50%" height="100%" />
[Bindable] public var treeData2:ArrayCollection = new ArrayCollection;
[Bindable] public var treeData:Object;
public var resultArr:Object;
public function initNavTab():void{
    var navService:HTTPService = new HTTPService();
    navService.url = "http://www.apxalarm.com/pages/getnav";
    navService.method = "POST";
    navService.useProxy = false;
    navService.resultFormat = "e4x";
    //navService.resultFormat = "array";
    navService.addEventListener(ResultEvent.RESULT, returnNavData);
    navService.addEventListener(FaultEvent.FAULT, navDataFault);
    navService.send();
public function returnNavData(event:ResultEvent):void{
    navData = event.result;
    //resultArr = event.result;
    Alert.show("load complete");
    tree_labelFunc(navData);
public function navDataFault(event:FaultEvent):void{
    Alert.show(event.fault.faultDetail);
public function tree_labelFunc(item:Object):void{
    var node:XML = XML(item);
    var nav:XMLList = new XMLList();
    nav = node.sections;
    var i:Number = 0;
    for each (var section:XML in nav.section){
        var obj:Object = new Object();
        obj.label = section.name;
        obj.urlName = section.urlName;
        obj.children = new ArrayCollection;
            for each(var nav1:XML in section.navs.nav){
                obj.children.addItem([{label: nav1.name}]);
        treeData2.addItem(obj);
the tree_labelFunc parces thru the xml and creates the appropriate structure i need to be displayed in the tree component... but unfortunately the children of the tree component only shows [Object, Object]
can someone show me how to display the labels instead of the Object???
thank you soo much in advace guys!!! i really appretiate it!!!
oh and this is part of the xml that it is pulling
