Itunes hangs after just listening to music with Album Art work turned on.

I have been having issues with iTunes hanging and I have to open up task manager and kill the process. It doesn't Hang my system, only iTunes. I have noticed that the itune's process is taking up about 1.4 GB of memory and that each time it hangs it is around that amount. I have almost 38,000 Songs in my iTunes folder and I have album Art work for all of them. Is there some limitation on the amount of Art work? If I turn off the Art work it will run all day long with no problem.

Not necessarily. I was asking that cause iTunes match will upload album artwork for the first track of a CD and it wont display until after you play the track you want artwork to display for. As far as it not displaying when being synced via iTunes, I am sorry but I don't have any idea.

Non-iTunes downloaded songs are becoming corrupted, starting with album art

I have Windows Vista, and I just got a new refurbished iPod touch 64gb 5th gen.
For some reason, songs that I have downloaded (not from iTunes) are becoming corrupted?? some are even old songs I have downloaded months ago but most of this seems to be with songs stuff I haven downloaded recently. This literally just happened yesterday. The album art is showing up on iTunes as half downloaded or with a broken, glitchy bar after I sync to my iPod. Then, most of those songs are corrupted, making those skipping noises in the song. What is even stranger is that most of these messed up songs are ONLY messed up on iTunes, on my iPod they're fine, but then some of them get corrupted on both. I use a "Passport" EXTERNAL hard drive, could there be a problem with that?? Everything I have downloaded is saved to that external hard drive and like I said, even some of the old songs I downloaded months, even years ago are having the album art problem and some of them the sound quality corruption.
I tried restarting and re downloading iTunes hitting the "repair" option, but I think this may be the external hard drives problem?
Does anyone know what I should do? Am I asking this question in the correct place?

I can't seem to get album art to download into some of my songs. I compare my song information with the information that's in the iTunes music store & it matches word for word but it won't download the art. I can understand if iTunes didn't have the album but they do & the art wont download at all. I click "get album art" so many times & nothing shows up.

Issue with album art work....

.....hey everyone. I have a issue with my itunes art work. Well it's on my gif's computer. She made the mistake of lending it to her little niece, which has a zone. There was a update prompted to update itunes and zone software. She updated both at the same time. Now her music is missing it's album art and now the zone software shows it has it(Music she imported from cd into itunes). Now my thought is that she made the zone software convert it to WMA format. But I check to see in my itunes folder in my music and it's still there. I try to access the album info in itunes, and even though the information is correct to the T, itunes say's it's not there. Can anyone help me with this issue. Thank you very much.

I think I know this problem. It doesn't have to do with Zone, it has to do with the latest iTunes.
If you select a song and it says "Album artwork not modifiable", then the likely problem is that iTunes9 added another ID3 V2 tag to the song, and now can't read the file. I had to manually go through 5000 songs and remove the duplicate tags using a tagging software. (I used tagscanner)

I am trying to import my cd's onto itunes on a new macbook pro. i can import the cd fine but can not get track names or album art work. after going into advanced it is just coming up with "CDDB information not available"

Use the trackpad to scroll, thats what it was designed for. The scroll bars automatically disappear when not being used and will appear if you scroll up or down using the trackpad.
This is a user-to-user forum and most people will post on here if they have problems. You very rarely get people posting to say there update went smooth. The fact is the vast majority of Mountain Lion users will not be experiencing any major problems with the OS, or maybe with apps which are not compatible, but thats hardly Apple's fault if developers don't update their apps.

I recently purchased Windows 8 laptop and installed Office 2013. I then installed iTunes. After moving all my music to the new PC, I got iTunes to import it and sync it to my iPod (3rd gen). However, I cannot get iTunes to sync my Outlook Contacts

I recently purchased a Windows 8 laptop and istalled Office 2013. I then installed iTunes. After moving all my music to my new PC I got iTunes to import it, and then synced it to my iPod (3rd gen.) However, I cannot get iTunes to sync my Outlook Calendar or Contacts with my iPod. When I try it crashes Outlook. iTunes continues to try to sync, but when it finishes my Calendar and Contents are empty (ERASED!). I have de-installed and re-installed iTunes (according to Apple's instructions), repaired Office 2013 and Outlook, scanned for viruses (etc), cleaned out temp folders, defragmented, etc., etc., etc. Has anyone seen this before, and does anyone know houw to fix it? (HELP!)

Well, I guess I have to download some other software to make my apple product work. Really great stuff you guys sell. I will never buy another apple product. My Iphone, Ipod and Itunes are junk

If not successful try the ramaining items of
- iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
- Also try DFU mode after try recovery mode

- If not successful and you can't fully turn the iOS device fully off, let the battery fully drain. After charging for an least an hour try the above again.
- Try on another computer
- If still not successful that usually indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

ITunes "hangs" after playing first two tracks

Testing with three different CDs, I have discovered that my iTunes "hangs" after playing the first two tracks. That is, it will play the first two tracks fine, then appear to play the first two seconds of the second track again and stop. I am also unable to eject the CD or quit the program, instead getting the Spinning Beach Ball of Death, so I must force-quit the program, after which I am able to eject the CD.
I have repaired the disk permissions and verified the disk with no problem in both cases. I have also shut down and restarted a few times between tests, but to no avail. I hope this issue is not an indication of a physical problem with my drive. (I have not tried running Disk Warrior yet, but that may be my next step.) Also, this problem occurred both before and after I upgraded to 10.4.11 so it seems to be unrelated to this OS upgrade, but it may be related to my upgrading to iTunes 7.5. Any ideas or suggestions?
Thanks,
Paul

Yep, that did the trick. Many thanks! In fact, after unchecking Error Correction and successfully playing a CD all the way through, I even rechecked EC and immediately tried playing the same CD, with the same problematic "Track 2 Hanging" result.
Odd that this should be the solution, though. It begs the question as to whether or not EC should ever be checked. I realize that this feature is for importing and not for playing tracks, but it seems tedious to have to remember to check EC when importing and then uncheck it for playing. I guess I'm asking whether or not EC is effective enough to warrant the inconvenience of having to uncheck and recheck and uncheck, etc. Any thoughts on that?

How to listen to music with bluetooth

Can you listen to music (mono of course) with your iphone 4?

There is a workaround to listen to music with your mono (non A2DP) bluetooth headset, though I only use it for audio books because of the poorer sound quality.
The trick is to play the mp3 in Voice Memo app instead of iPod app. You can easily convert any of your music files in the iTunes Library to Voice Memo in the following way:
1 - Check the category of your existing Voice Memos in iTunes. You will have to copy this categories
     1.1 - On your iPhone, save a voice memo
     1.2 - Connect your iPhone to your Mac or PC, and launch iTunes
     1.3 - Open your iPhone in iTunes, and check the Music tab. Make sure Voice Memos are set to sync
     1.4 - Sync your voice memo to your computer
     1.5 - In iTunes library, find your voice memo, and from the context menu, choose the Get Info
     1.6 - Copy fields Artist, Album and Genre from Info tab
2 - Convert the selected music file in the iTunes Library to Voice Memo
     2.1 - From the context menu of the selected music file, select Create AAC version
     2.2 - Using the Get info contect menu of the converted file, apply the Artist, Album and Genre settings you copied previously
3 - Sync your device to have your munsic file available as Voice Memo
     3.1 - Note your voice memo got an automatic name (derived from the date of creation)
     3.2 - In Voice Memo app, you can select which speaker you want to use for playing
Another advantage of this solution that audio books will not appear in your music library, you can handle them separated

I believe the keys on an imac are F11 and F12, for dark / bright respectively.
Try that, I think it'll work.
If not, then try out all the "F" keys, one of them will work.

i got an iphone 5c last saturday. i noticed that after merely 5minutes of using facebook, my phone got warmer than the usual. i know that phones will get warm if being used but getting a warm phone after just 5minutes of surfing with 3G seems not normal. compared it with iphone 5 and 5s and they are not getting warm like that. is it a software or hadware issue?

My eyes just glazed over...Please in the future break down each of your issues with paragraphs separated by two carriage returns. It would be much easier when trying to address your issues.
Go to Apple menu -> System Preferences -> Keyboard and Mouse -> Mouse
And edit your mouse settings to do what you want it to do.
Secondly, this is not the place to vent. If you have a complaint, there is:
http://www.apple.com/feedback/
or http://www.apple.com/contact/
We are just end users here helping other end users.
Third, from my understanding, it would appear you are concerned about the noise the hard drive makes when it falls asleep? Why not put your machine in screen saver mode instead? Apple menu -> System Preferences -> Energy Saver turn off all Energy Saver settings, or set them to run Never.
Fourth, if your machine was purchased just a few days ago, you may still be able to get an exchange from the store, quicker than you can get a repair done. You may want to look into that possibility.
Fifth, it does appear you found the Logic forum. I would persist in asking there how to solve your technical issue with Logic regarding the audio. It may be you don't have to do anything special to the hard drive. Remember audio can be transmitted by wire, avoiding ambient sounds.
Good luck!
