ITunes no longer lets me display multiple pieces of artwork attached to the same song.

I have scanned the covers, the backs, and some of the liner notes for most of the songs in my 38,000 song library.
Earlier versions of iTunes diplayed small arrows in the frame above the artwork viewer in the main window whenever more than one piece of artwork was attached to a selected song.  Sometime last summer these arrows disappeared and I can no longer view anything but the cover artwork.
When I show the get-info dialog for a single song, the artwork tab still shows all the pieces of artwork that I added so the art is all still there.
If I drag any of these pieces of artwork from that get-info pane onto the desktop, the resulting file is the size and quality of the original artwork added to that song.
I went to the apple store and added one song to the iTunes program running on one of their laptops.  I added multiple pieces of artwork to that song and the arrows appeared above the artwork viewer as they did in the past with the iTunes I have running at home.
Has anyone had a problem like this?
I am using a mac pro with 2 x 2.8GHz Quad-Core Intel Xeon processors and 8GB of 800MHz memory.

This is also driving me nuts. Particularly annoying is the fact that if you add a second piece of artwork by pasting it into the artwork window in the lower left corner, the arrows that used to let you scroll through the artwork reappear for a short time!
So I don't think this is a feature, but an error somewhere and it has been missing across MANY updates
Please go to "Provide Feedback" iTunes and ask for this feature to be fixed. I've done it many times but my guess is unless they have multiple complaints that this is a low priority issue for Apple.

  • Display multiple records as sub-sections in the same report.

    I am using Crystal Reports (VS-2005).
    In a report, I have various sub-sections in the Details section. Each section represents a category and is connected with SQL command which uses LEFT OUTER JOIN.
    The first section is the main section and the subsequent sections are the child sections.
    Sometimes, a sub-section (other than the first main sub-section) picks multiple records of that category. In this case the report extends to multiple pages. Each report displays one record of this sub-section.
    I want to show the the same sub-section multiple times in the same report as opposed to multiple reports that are now automatically generated by Crystal Reports.
    How to handle this issue?

    This is a .NET programming forum related to Crystal Reports. Your question is best suited for our report design forum below. Also, when you post your question it will be helpful if you use report design terminology. We have elements like Report Header, Page Header, Groups, and Details sections. Just mentioning "sections" doesn't give us a good idea about what you are attempting to do.
    Check out the grouping options and see if it helps. You might need to create a formula to help you with your grouping though.
    If you like, I can move this to the design forum.

  • Can I share iTunes with others in my family or do we have to all buy the same songs since we have different apple IDs?

    I am new to iTunes and am wondering if I can share iTunes with my family or do we just have to all purchase the same songs multiple times since our devices have different apple ID's.  My iPhone was set up last year to one iTunes ID and I just got an iPad but it has a different apple ID. So I can't even share with myself! It seems stupid to have my husband and I both purchasing the same music.

    There are two ways to share your content. The simplest is just to use homesharing. Simply set up homesharing on each device from the iTunes advanced menu (you need to use the same details on each computer), providing the computers are on the same network they should see each other and can be found in the list on the left hand side of the iTunes window.
    The second way is to transfer the content to another computer, play it and authorise it to play content from that account by entering the original account password when prompted (this only needs doing once for each account, not for each tune)

  • TS1382 I want to add multiples of the same song from different playlists to my ipod but iTunes wont let me. How can I override this so that I get the songs I want on my ipod?

    I want to add multiples of the same song from different playlists to my ipod but iTunes wont let me. How can I override this so that I get the songs I want on my ipod?

    You can sync those different playlists to the iPod, and the song appears on each playlist.  However, the song is stored on the iPod once.  What is the practical reason for wanting to store the same song file multiple times (and waste storage space) on the iPod?

  • How can I remove multiple copies of the same song from the iTunes listing?

    How can I remove multiple copies of the same song from the iTunes listing. The program seems to be picking up the same songs from, for example, my user area and my public area in the C drive

    As above, Apple's official advice is here... HT2905 - How to find and remove duplicate items in your iTunes library, however it is a manual process and the article fails to explain some of the potential pitfalls.
    Use Shift > View > Show Exact Duplicate Items to display duplicates as this is normally a more useful selection. You need to manually select all but one of each group to remove. Sorting the list by Date Added may make it easier to select the appropriate tracks, however this works best when performed immediately after the dupes have been created.  If you have multiple entries in iTunes connected to the same file on the hard drive then don't send to the recycle bin.
    Use my DeDuper script if you're not sure, don't want to do it by hand, or want to preserve/merge ratings, play counts and playlist membership. See this thread for background and please take note of the warning to backup your library before deduping.

    Should that read "when I copy an artist over to itunes and that particular artist has multiple albums," because if not, I don't understand?
    If I'm right about that, I'm still not really clear at all about what you're doing. Where are you importing these songs and albums from? Is it existing songs files and if so, what format are they in?

  • How to fix: Music corrupts when transferred to ipod. This happens with the same songs on multiple ipods and the song plays regularly in itunes...

    Basically, I've already described the problem. Some songs play perfectly fine in itunes but the same songs corrupt when placed on different devices of varying age. Therefore, I don't think there's something wrong with the original file and I don't think there's something wrong with all of my devices. Why is this happening and how can I fix it?

    Hello there klundie,
    I was researching the issue you are experiencing, and have come to the conclusion that the songs in question may need to be converted and re imported. This article, iTunes: How to convert a song to a different file format outlines how to re import songs that are already in your itunes library, which I believe will resolve the issue.
    You can find the article here: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1550
    To convert a song's file format:
    Open iTunes Preferences.
    Windows: Choose Edit > Preferences.
    Mac: Choose iTunes > Preferences.
    Click the General button, then click the Importing Settings button in the second section of the window.
    From the Import Using pop-up menu, choose the encoding format that you want to convert the song to, then click OK to save the settings.
    Select one or more songs in your library, then from the Advanced menu, choose one of the following (The menu item changes to show what's selected in your Importing preferences):
    Create MP3 version
    Create AAC version
    Create AIFF version
    Create WAV version
    Create Apple Lossless version
    If you haven't imported some songs into iTunes yet, you can import and convert them at the same time. This will create a converted copy of the file in your iTunes Library based on your iTunes preferences. To convert all the songs in a folder or on a disk, hold down the Option key (Mac) or Shift key (Windows) and choose Advanced > ConvertImport preference setting. The Import preference setting will match what you chose in step 3. iTunes will prompt you for the location of the folder or disk you want to import and convert. All the songs in the folder or on the disk will be converted. Note: Some purchased songs are encoded using a protected AAC format that prevents them from being converted. iTunes Plus purchases are not protected and can be converted.
    The song in its original format and the newly converted song appear in your library.
    All the best,
    Sterling

  • ITunes Syncs The Same Songs Everytime

    iTunes 10.6 with new iPhone 4S
    When I sync my iPhone everything syncs normally but about 120 songs keep syncing over and over.  I did a little research and it appears that it's the ID3 tags need re-doing to fix it.  The problem is it scrolls thru it so fast it's next to impossible to get the songs with the problem.
    Is there a way to get a list of the problem songs?
    Is there an easy way to fix this issue?

    I had this problem for a while and it's really annoying especially if you have a large collection and multiple songs that have this issue. Everyday I add a few new songs to my iPhone and every time I have to wait for those track to re-sync before I can add one new track. I looked all over and couldn't find anything to help. I tried editing the mp3tags and converting the songs with another program and even downloading another copy of the file but no matter what every time I placed them back into iTunes it just kept happening.
    I have no problems with my iPods just my iPhone. The only difference I could think of is that I have the phone set up to convert the songs with a higher bit rate to 128 AAC when they sync to the iPhone. iTunes does the conversion on the fly without actually adding the 128 AAC file to iTunes library, I figured out every song I had a problem with was being converted from a higher bit rate.
    SOLUTION =  I just converted those songs to 128 AAC and then replaced the original tracks with the new smaller songs. Remove the original problem songs from the iPhone and sync. PROBLEM SOLVED. It no longer re-syncs the same songs over and over. I have plugged my iPhone in hundreds of times and I no longer have the issue. I still have the higher quality songs on  iTunes and on my iPods I just don't sync them to iPhone. It does suck that I have to have multiple copies of the same song in a different format but it's a minor inconvenience compared to waiting for iTunes to convert those files on the fly every time I plug my phone in.
    So just check your iPhone settings on the summary page if it's set to convert the higher bit rates check the info for the problem songs. If the bit rate is higher than 128 use this method and it should take care of the problem. If you don't know how to convert songs with iTunes just go to the "Edit" menu select "Preferences" then "Import Settings". Change it to AAC 128 bit rate click "Ok" . Left click on the problem songs and select "Create AAC Version"
    OzziesMAC- I had a similar issue with catching the songs. If you have a lot of songs and have trouble catching which tracks are re-syncing just grab a pencil and paper and write down the names of as many as you can catch. Use this fix on them and then sync. Afterwards unplug and re-plug the iPhone and repeat the procedure until you knock out all the problem tracks. I had over a hundred and I knocked them all out in less than an hour. It's well worth it.
    Let me know if this method works for you. Good Luck.

  • Why is my mac syncing multiple version of the same song?

    I wonder if anyone could help with this:
    My sync takes so long sometimes and it often syncs 2 or 3 versions of the same song on loads of albums.
    I have to go through manually one by one and delete them off my phone, and sometimes i only stumble across duplicates by accident.
    Its very frustrating.
    Im on OSX 10.9.2 with an iPhone 5s running the latest version of iOS.
    Thanks.

    eek that sounds unpleasant. Are the songs different in any way?
    Are these albums using playlists to sync?
    If so…check that the the playlists on the Mac don't have the duplicate copies - in this case the same file will be reused (not using extra space on the device).
    Do they show as multiple files in iOS's Albums view? You may need to tap 'More…' and then 'Edit' to add the 'albums tab' to the bottom menu. Save and check for duplicates.
    I'd reboot everything, backup the device to iTunes, disable music syncing to empty the device and resync to see if that helps, if it fails consider resetting the iPhone. http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1414
    Try another sync. If that is OK restore the backup & see if it comes back.

  • I have a large number of photos imported into iPhoto with the dates wrong.  How can I adjust multiple photos (with varying dates) to the same, correct, date?

    I have a large number of photos imported into iPhoto with the dates wrong.  How can I adjust multiple photos (with varying dates) to the same, correct, date?

    If I understand you correctly, when you enter a date in the Adjust Date and Time window, the picture does not update with the date you enter.  If that is the case then something is wrong with iPhoto or your perhaps your library.
    How large a date change are you putting in?  iPhoto currently has an issue with date changes beyond about 60 years at a time.  If the difference between the current date on the image and the date you are entering is beyond that range that may explain why this is not working.
    If that is not the case:
    Remove the following to the trash and restart the computer and try again:
    Home > Library > Caches > com.apple.iphoto
    Home > Library > Preferences > com.apple.iPhoto (There may be more than one. Remove them all.)
    ---NOTE: to get to the "home > library" hold down option on the keyboard and click on "Go" > "Library" while in the Finder.
    Let me know the results.
