When you ask a question like "is there anyone with the same problems ?", it's usually a good idea to do a search in that forum to find out.

  • ITunes imports wrong cd information

    I am trying to import Across the Universe soundtrack into my iTunes and it keeps recognizing it as Supertramp and it plays the songs as Supertramp. This is frustrating as I can put it into a normal cd player and it will play the correct songs. PLEASE HELP!

    Hey Chychyz,
    Thanks for the question. After reviewing your post, it sounds like you want to correct the Album listing. I would recommend that you read this article, it may be able to help you resolve or isolate the issue.

  • 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

  • Itunes imports cd; but they are all small files, and incomplete.  Itunes plays neither the cd nor the imported songs.  Anyone else faced this issue?

    itunes imports cd; but they are all small files, and incomplete.  Itunes plays neither the cd nor the imported songs.  Anyone else faced this issue?

    i've had this happen when the cd is extremely dirty. usually only one or two tracks though, not a whole cd.

  • HT1347 I have an mp3 DVD with episodes of Gunsmoke.  iTunes imports them, but does not sort them correctly by date or episode.  One file name is GS 52-04-26 001 Billy the Kid.mp3

    I have an mp3 DVD with episodes of Gunsmoke.  iTunes imports them, but does not sort them correctly by date or episode.  One file name is GS 52-04-26 001 Billy the Kid.mp3.  iTunes sorts them by month/day/year.  How can I fix that?

    The weird thing is, it worked before. I encoded all the videos previously and had them all listed and didn't encounter this problem, but I noticed I'd forgotten to decomb/detelecine the videos so I deleted everything and re-encoded it all. AFter filling the tags out and setting poster frames again I was thinking of making life easier by just pasting the same artwork for every episode, so I did, but didn't like the results so I deleted it again (I selected every video, used Get Info and pasted the artwork that way).
    I think it was after this that the problem started to occur. In any case I've been through every episode and made sure the name, series, episode and episode id fields are all filled in with incremental values and they are. I even made sure the Sort Name field was filled in on every video. But this didn't work either.
    So, thinking another restart was needed I deleted every video again. Re-encoded them all, again. Set the tags for every video and poster frame again. Finished it all off nicely, checked cover flow and was highly annoyed to find it was STILL showing the same two pieces of art work for every video as shown in that image I posted.
    Ultimately, I wouldn't care so much that cover flow is screwing up like this as I always intended to sort by program anyway so it would only ever display one piece of artwork for an entire series of videos, however where-as when it was working it picked the artwork for the first episode of a series to display, its instead picking one of the latter episodes. I can't seem to find any way of choosing what artwork I want displayed.

  • Exporting at HIGHEST quality - iTunes IMPORTING preferences?

    Does the iTUNES IMPORTING preferences matter? I am exporting UNcompressed so I can give songs to a Master Engineer. What should my itune settings be at?
    or should i share another way?
    Thank you!

    Yes - If you're delivering a mix to a mastering engineer, do not share to iTunes! Export to Disk instead.
    Generally, when you deliver something to a mastering engineer, you want it to be as unprocessed as possible. iTunes is a fantastic consumer-oriented playback application. But for sending audio in and out of iTunes on its way to a mastering engineer, it’s Hogwarts - full of mysterious nooks and crannies that could inadvertently transform your audio without you realizing it. Plus, it's completely unnecessary and avoidable.
    So to take steps to ensure the highest (and most unadulterated) quality possible, first turn off auto normalize in GB’s advanced preferences, if you haven't already done so.
    Then, if you've chosen any presets for your Master Track, remove them (adding these kind of finalizing effects is exactly what the mastering engineer does; the presets in Garageband are a quick and easy alternative, but you have the real thing).
    Finally, under the Share Menu, choose Export Song to Disk. And, of course, don't compress.

  • What's the best iTunes import setting for highest quality and universality?

    What's the best iTunes import setting for highest quality and universality?

    Highest quality?
    Apple Lossless. (But the files are way big)
    Universality?
    MP3 (choose the bit rate you think sounds best and doesn't take too much space)

  • Can't get rid of duplicate email accounts itunes imports from outlook

    Hey everybody,
    iTunes imports my email account information from Outlook and for some reason it finds duplicate email accounts. I only have one .pst file which only has one of each email account attached to it but iTunes finds duplicates.
    So in iTunes, when I tick one of a duplicate account and click apply the other duplicate will tick itself.
    I have no idea what is going on and I'm tempted to reinstall outlook, itunes, delete my pst file, restore my iPhone and just start all over again!
    But I really don't want to do that.

    Have the same problem. Sometimes end up with in excess of 10 duplicated calendars (they show as "all mobileme calendars" but do not have the individual calendars listed) on my iphone although the correct calendars only appear once on both mobileme and Mac. Have never had sync turned on in itunes.
    A tiresome workaround to delete these from the phone is to go into settings/mail,contacts,calendar/your mobileme account and turn calendars off. Say yes to delete calendar on iphone. When this is finished turn calendars back on, then exit and open the calendar. One duplicate should have been removed. Repeat ad infinitum.
    Problem is the duplicates keep coming back (even without connecting to the Mac). Anyone with ideas for a permanent solution?

  • Does anyone have a sticky iPhone since upgrading to ios8? Scrolling is rough in iTunes (horizontal album covers) and on the iPad it's much worse with photo and video albums! iPhone5s and iPad3 retina displays.

    Does anyone have a sticky iPhone since upgrading to ios8? Scrolling is rough in iTunes (horizontal album covers) and on the iPad it's much worse with photo and video albums! iPhone5s and iPad3 retina displays.

    Lots and lots of questions
    The new Photos app in OS X should address much of this - it greatly simplifies syncing stuff across machines. Apple has details on it up here:
    https://www.apple.com/osx/photos-preview/
    It says "coming this spring" and a pre-release version has already been made available to developer testers.

  • ITunes import error

    I just got an iPod, installed the 64-bit iTunes and pointed it to my library of 10,000 MP3s. iTunes imported all of the songs without nay errors. The Ipod synched, however, and ended up with 1,600 errors. I tried to synch again and ended up with the same errors. Any idea what the problem could be?

    The same thing happened to me. I hope this helps:
    First: DO NOT SYNC YOUR iPOD. All your songs are in there, so if you don't sync your iPod, you won't lose your music.
    Second: download some iPod rip app to extract the songs from your iPod.
    Third: rip these songs and copy them to a folder on your desktop for example.
    Fourth: copy these songs directly into your iTunes library folder.
    Fifth: select these songs, right click and open.
    The songs should appear as magic. It worked for me!

  • ITunes Import CD "Replace existing" not working as expected.

    iTunes 10.5.1 (42)
    To replicate problem:
    Import CD using AAC encoder / iTunes Plus setting. Audio files are created. E.g. "foo.m4a" 15MB in size
    Eject CD.
    Change import settings to Apple Lossless Encoder.
    Re-import CD using new settings.
    Dialog box appears stating songs already imported and asks if user wants to replace existing songs and import again.
    Select "Replace Existing" button.
    iTunes imports CD again and creates file "foo 1.m4a" 45MB in size and keeps existing file "foo.m4a".
    This is not how I would expect "Replace Existing" to behave. I'm expecting the original file to be deleted and replaced by the newly imported file.
    However I'm thinking that iTunes keeps the existing file because it has all of the metadata regarding play counts, etc and iTunes refers to this even though only the new version of the file shows on iTunes. If so, it's one way to fill up your hard drive.
    Any thoughts would be appreciated before I submit a bug report to Apple.
    Thanks.

    Still happening even with the latest version of iTunes. Appears to be random - sometimes it overwrites, sometimes it creates secondary copies. Frustrating!

  • Itunes import into imovie

    I have an imac with imovie version 3.03. I just updated itunes to 7.0. I was trying to make a home video with imovie and imported a song from my itunes library. The song imported and I can see the audio track, but I can't hear it through imovie. There is no audio from the song. However, I can hear the song when I play it through itunes. Is there something I can do to get an itune import to play through imovie? By the way it I just tested another song that I've had for awhile and it played through imovie. I went to "get info" on the song I can't hear and it says it's a protected audio file. Does that mean I can't use it in a home movie on my own computer? Is there anything I can do? I have Quicktime 7.1.3.

    that needs some work:
    the official, Apple legalized workaround is, to burn a cd-r with your purchased music (you should anyhow for backup reasons...) and re-import from that specific cd back again into iTunes... that stripes off the DRM...
    a usebility hint: add to that re-imported titles some "sign", as an asterix or a tilde, helps you later to create playlists of "cleared" vs "protected" titles...
    and to add another recommendation:
    I read in your specs 10.3.x, you use iM3 and QT 7.x...
    we read about some trouble with "mixing" older versions of apps with newer versions of system components...
    best practise is:
    10.3.x + QT 6 + iLife≤5
    or
    10.4.x. + QT 7+ iLife≥6
    .... that's some investement (I hesitate actually to do so either... ), but avoids some options for trouble...

  • Exporting to iTunes (importing preferences)

    I am exporting my songs with the intent of having them mastered professionally. does it matter what the iTUNE IMPORTING preferences are set on. i am looking at it now - which ENCODER should I use and which SETTING. The highest?

    The recordings are mostly 30 or 45 minutes. I copy them to Garageband in real time, and then click on Export to iTunes in the File menu. The "creating mixdown" is often very slow. The longer, 45 minute files might take more than an hour to get into iTunes.

  • Itunes imports no matter what...

    every time i put a cd in just to listen to it, itunes imports it! how do i stop this? thanks for your help.
    charla

    Charla,
    If you're using iTunes 5 or later select iTunes > Preferences > Advanced > Importing > On CD Insert. Ensure that neither the Import Songs or Import Songs and Eject options are selected.
    In earlier versions of iTunes these options can be found in iTunes > Preferences > General > On CD Insert, I think.
