ITunes doesn't always find my AEX

I recently moved and have a new iMac and a new Time Capsule and am running my old AEX both to extend the network and to stream over AirTunes. The light is green regardless of where I plug the AEX in in our apartment but unless it is in the same room as the iMac it doesn't seem to appear in the list of available speakers at the bottom of my iTunes. Is the signal transmitted directly from the iMac to the AEX or shouldn't it be going through the network via the Time Capsule and then on to the AEX?

Ok, so I went and found the album I was looking for and dragged it in, but the image is pretty poor. Is that the best we can hope for? Why can't Apple allow us to drag the image from iTunes store? Or better yet let us import the artwork without buying the album since I owned the album/cd long before there was any such thing as Apple, iTunes or iPods?

ITunes doesn't always connect when I synch

I think I have the proper settings to accommodate this task.

When I synch the iphone to the macbook pro, itunes doesn't open automatically everytime. I have to open it sometimes.
I have the settings adjusted for iTunes to open automatically.

ITunes doesn't always stay on 2nd monitor

This is a new issue which I have submitted to the Apple bug site.    But I'm wondering if anybody else has seen it.
I have a new 27" iMac which I keep current, and an old 2nd monitor which I keep to its right.    I always have iTunes on that monitor which is in portrait mode.
in the last month about 6-8 times I have gotten up in the morning to discover iTunes has moved over to my iMac's screen.   Weird.
I get the feeling not many people use a second monitor the way I do.   I know that when I upgraded my VMware Fusion a couple of years ago, it was difficult to set it up so that it only used my old iMac's screen.
When I restart my computer, I have a program, SimpleFloatingClock, which never comes up where I left it on my 2nd monitor.   But iTunes always comes up on the 2nd monitor where it's supposed to.
My old Mac couldn't have the setting where it turns on to check my mail all night.   So maybe sometimes when it checks the e-mail, it thinks my other monitor is missing.    My old monitor needed a new converter to use Thunderbolt on my new computer.

That didn't work.   iTunes on my 2nd monitor is still full screen over there.   On this monitor, I can use the green button to make Mail or Safari full screen and then press ESC to get it back.    If I hit the green button on Chrome, it acts the old way.
But if I click on iTunes on the other monitor, ESC doesn't do anything.   Double clicking the top doesn't do anything.   Right clicking iTunes (on my main monitor), and selecting Hide or Show doesn't do anything.
Found it!
If I very, very carefully get my cursor on the top left of the 2nd monitor, the task bar for that window pops up.   The red and yellow dots are greyed out, but I can click the green button and get it working.    And I can finally resize.
I'm guessing that part isn't a bug, but just an ugly, difficult, design.   Very ugly.
But the rest of this certainly is one or two bugs.

Mac Mail doesn't (always) find BCC of Sent messages

The MacMail search/Find feature does always display messages when searching for the bcc email address of sent messages.
It finds some, not others. I've spent some time on this but don't see any simple explanation. I wondered if it was related the formatting of the name/address with < and > characters.
A frustrating situation when you're trying to find critical info sent to freelancers.

Could be many things, we should start with this...
"Try Disk Utility
1. Insert the Mac OS X Install disc, then restart the computer while holding the C key.
2. When your computer finishes starting up from the disc, choose Disk Utility from the Installer menu at top of the screen. (In Mac OS X 10.4 or later, you must select your language first.)
*Important: Do not click Continue in the first screen of the Installer. If you do, you must restart from the disc again to access Disk Utility.*
3. Click the First Aid tab.
4. Select your Mac OS X volume.
5. Click Repair Disk, (not Repair Permissions). Disk Utility checks and repairs the disk."
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=106214
Then try a Safe Boot, (holding Shift key down at bootup), run Disk Utility in Applications>Utilities, then highlight your drive, click on Repair Permissions, reboot when it completes.
(Safe boot may stay on the gray radian for a long time, let it go, it's trying to repair the Hard Drive.)
If perchance you can't find your install Disc, at least try it from the Safe Boot part onward.
If 10.7.0 or later...
Bootup holding CMD+r, or the Option/alt key to boot from the Restore partitirion & use Disk Utility from there to Repair the Disk, then Repair Permissions.

How can I synchronize my iPhoto events? my iTunes doesn't read them and with the app Images in the iPad I can only find Photos, Albums, Faces and Places, not Events.

How can I synchronize my iPhoto events? my iTunes doesn't read them and with the app Images in the iPad I can only find Photos, Albums, Faces and Places, not Events.

I had a problem a couple of months ago when iPhotos suddenly rearranged the order of my Events (Why won't iPhoto let me arrange my photos?) . I was told "Use albums not events - events are not a good way to organize - albums and folder are designed for organisation and are very flexible".
Haha! I should have paid attention and read between the lines! My iPhotos were highly organised groupings - not according to date but the way I wanted them - and it was so easy to do! I see now that if I had them all in albums, as per the Apple Apologist suggestion, I wouldn't have this unholy mess I have been left with just to make iPhone & iCloud users happy. I am now going through Photos and making Albums (of what used to be in my Events) ... maybe I'll get this finished before they do another non user friendly update!

ITunes 10.4.1 Problem with Key Command Go to Current Song - Doesn't always work

Since updating to iTunes 10.4.1, I've noticed that the key command, command + L doesn't always work to display the current song.

I have this problem in iTunes 10.7 (21). The "Go to Current Song" option exists in the Controls menu, but even when audio is playing it is disabled.

ITunes doesn't find photos in Photoshop Elements album

I've used iTunes to sync several Photoshop Elements 6 albums to my ATV. There is one album that iTunes finds but it does not think there are any photos in it. When you go to the Photo tab on the ATV device in iTunes it searches for a few seconds and then updates with the number of photos in the album. For that one album iTunes doesn't show a number at all. But if I look at the album from Photoshop there are 237 photos in it. Any ideas?

Suggest that you rename the printer. It is my understanding that Elements becomes "confused" with somewhat similar names

In Devices & Printers in control panel, right click the printer and go to Printer Properties.
Please let us know if this works after renaming.

ITunes doesn't find Airtunes when connected with cable, only WiFi

I have an Apple TV with Airtunes enabled. But apparantly, it's not possible to connect to it from PC's who are connected to LAN with cable instead of WiFI? Does anyone know why?
More details:
I have 3 PC's:
PC 1: , Windows 7 64-bit with iTunes 9.1.1.12 (latest)
Stationary, connected to LAN using cable in a Gigabit switch
PC 2: 100% fresh install of Windows 7 32-bit and iTunes 9.1.1.12
Stationary, connected to LAN using cable in a Gigabit switch
PC 3: Win 7 32-bit with iTunes 9.1.1.12
Netbook - connected through WiFi
Apple TV device (latest firmware) is connected to same LAN using cable as well. *All PC's can ping the Apple TV without problems.*
So the problem is that iTunes doesn't find the Airtunes device (the output dropdown selector doesn't show up). I first tried on my main PC (PC1). It didn't work, so i tested on PC2 (wich is a fresh install of both OS and iTunes!), but same problem there.
But then the weird thing happened. I tried to install on my netbook, and it worked! Only difference is that the netbook was connected through WiFi. I don't see why that would matter, but just for fun i tested to disconnect WiFi, and connect with cable and boom - airtunes selection dissappeared! As soon as I disconnected the cable and reconnected WiFi, it appeared again.
Why on earth would Airtunes only work on WiFi? As you can see on this screenshot, network configuration is equal on Wifi and cabled connection. (Apple TV has IP 10.0.1.30)

It's supposed to be able to cope with slightly different file & folder structures, missing track numbers, all tracks in just an artist folder, everything in Unknown Artist\Unknown Album etc. Details here. Can you give me an idea of how things are set out? Maybe it needs a little tweak to cope with the way you've done things, or we could use something like MediaMonkey to reorganize what you have into something the script can work with.
I'm going to be out for much of the day but I'll look in on this thread later.

ITunes doesn't find my music files on external drive anymore

I have some 15.000 music files on an external hard drive. I added them to my iTunes library and added also a lot of extra info (titles, genres, albums covers, etc.).
After a great New Year's Party, where several people "played" with my iTunes playlists, for some reason iTunes doesn't sees / recognises the music files on the external hard drive anymore.
What can I do? I don't want to import the music files all over again. Otherwise I loose all the info I added in the past year. And it is undoable to find the music files one-by-one on the external drive. That would take months.
Who can help?

Select one track in your library that is currently missing in action. Press CTRL-I to Get Info then look at the Where: entry on the Summary tab. You should get something along the lines of:
file://localhost/<path 1>/<Artist>/<Album>/## <Name>.<ext>
e.g. file://localhost/D:/iTunes/iTunes Music/Arcade Fire/Funeral/01 Neighborhood #1 (Tunnels).mp3
The true path will be something else of the form:
<path 2>\<Artist>\<Album>\## Name.<ext>
e.g. D:\iTunes\iTunes Music\Music\Arcade Fire\Funeral\01 Neighborhood #1 (Tunnels).mp3
Comparing the two paths should reveal what needs to be done to put music back where iTunes "expects" to find it. The examples show the different default locations before and after the upgrade to iTunes Media Organisation. I've seen problems before with the way iTunes manages this upgrade so that it occasionally reorganizes the files but then carries on looking for them in the old location. It is also surprising how easy it is sometimes to accidentally move a folder without noticing. Alternatively Windows may simply have switched the drive letter for your external drive. Windows Media Player is more resilient in these circumstances.
If you can give the two locations for a sample file I can probably suggest what will need doing to put things right.

What have you tried so far in terms of troubleshooting this issue? Are you plugging the iPod into a high powered USB 2.0 port on the back of your PC? Have you tried a different USB cable?
What happens if you try to reset the device with it still connected to the PC?

HT3180 When trying to play itunes and slideshows from my Mac book to Apple TV the small icon on the bottom right of the screen which switches between Computer and Apple TV doesn't always show up, and therefore the function doesn't work. What's up?

We are trying to play playlists and a slideshow from an Apple Macbook wirelessly to the Apple TV. The small, upward arrow icon that appears on the bottom right of the screen (which allows you to pick Computer or Apple TV) doesn't always show up, and therefore, we can't get it to work. Any thoughts?

Airplay mirroring software will not work with anything below Mountain Lion 10.8 and an Apple computer from 2011 or newer.

Go to "About this Mac" and tell us:
1. What OS X version you are running
And then click on "More Info" and tell us
1. What year is your Macbook.
Also tell us a little about your cable and Wireless setup.
Maybe we can help.
