Itunes on NAS MetaData retrieval problem

I have a large library from a cd collection stored as .wav files. The library is on a 2TB IOmega Stor Senter. I have no problems accessing the tunes but the artist, album & artwork are not recognized. I originally imported the CD's with the windows media player, which does recognize the data. Do I have to put the files on the hard drive or convert the format or is there an easier way to fix in itunes?

iTunes does not support storing metadata in WAV files, in normal use it will store the metadata separately in the iTunes library file.
If your looking for a lossless format for your music, one that can be shared between iTunes and Windows Media Player then the only practical choice is Apple Lossless. iTunes of course fully supports Apple Lossless, and with a free directshow filter WMP can play Apple Lossless as well, and with a free plugin WMP can also be made to read the metadata inside Apple Lossless files.

  • TS1424 HELLO! whenever i try to access the itunes store from the itunes on my laptop i get this message: ITUNES HAS STOPPED WORKING a problem caused the program to stop working correctly. windows will close the program and notify if a solution is availabl

    for a few weeks i have not been able to access the itunes store from the itunes on my laptop. every time i click on it it tells me it cannot access the store...not sure why. and says this: ITUNES HAS STOPPED WORKING a problem caused the program to stop working correctly. windows will close the program and notify if a solution is available.

    I had this exact same problem.  I found this fix and it worked for me. 
    Step 1:
    Browse to C:\Program Files (x86)\Common Files\Apple\Apple Application Support and copy the filen named QTMovieWin.dll. 
    Step 2:
    Browse and past that file into C:\Program Files (x86)\iTunes.
    Hope this helps you.  I wish I could remember where I saw this originally so I could thank them.
    Good Luck.

  • My Ipod touch is frozen.  Shows USB cable with arrow pointing to Itunes.  What is the problem?  This is the second one I have had that has done this!

    My Ipod touch is frozen.  The screen shows only USB cable with arrow point to the word Itunes.  What is the problem?  This is the second touch I have had that has this same problem.  HELP!

    This time try restoring the iPod to factory defaults/new iPod instead of from backup.  You may have some corruption that is causing the problem and it may now be in the backup.  If the problem persists after restoring to factory defaults/new iPod. then you likely have a hardware problem and ana ppointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

    this is what i have done so far. i really nead some help asap!!!
    1. Install Oracle 9i Release 2 (9.2.0.1) Enterprise Edition with the General purpose database configuration (Data warehouse works as well). At the end of the installation I chose the password management button to change passwords for the few necessary accounts: SYS, SYSTEM, OLAPSYS, SH.
    2. Download the p3948480_9206_WINNT.zip from metalink, the 9.2.0.6 patchset
    3. Shut down any existing Oracle9i database instances with normal or immediate priority. Stop all listener and other services running in the Oracle home directory where you want to install the patch set.
    4. unzip the content of thepatch to a temp directory
    5. start setup.exe under the temp directory (it will start the Oracle Universal installer 10.1.0.3)
    6. install the patchset to your Oracle home, selecting the source in the temp_dir\stage\products.jar file
    7. review carefully the post-installation tasks for the patchset:
    Review the following sections before upgrading a database (quote from the patchset html readme):
    8.2.1.1If JServer is part of the installation ensure that there is at least 10 MB of free space allocated to the SYSTEM tablespace.
    8.2.1.2 Check XDB Tablespace Size
    For RAC installations, ensure that there is at least 50 MB of free space allocated to the XDB tablespace.
    8.2.1.3 Set the SHARED_POOL_SIZE and JAVA_POOL_SIZE Initialization Parameters
    Set the value of the SHARED_POOL_SIZE and the JAVA_POOL_SIZE initialization parameters as follows:
    Start the database:
    SQL> STARTUP
    If necessary, enter the following command to determine whether the system uses an initialization parameter file (initsid.ora) or a server parameter file (spfiledbname.ora):
    SQL> SHOW PARAMETER PFILE;
    This command displays the name and location of the server parameter file or the initialization parameter file.
    Determine the current values of these parameters:
    SQL> SHOW PARAMETER SHARED_POOL_SIZE
    SQL> SHOW PARAMETER JAVA_POOL_SIZE
    If the system is using a server parameter file:
    If necessary, set the value of the SHARED_POOL_SIZE initialization parameter to at least 150 MB:
    SQL> ALTER SYSTEM SET SHARED_POOL_SIZE='150M' SCOPE=spfile;
    If necessary, set the value of the JAVA_POOL_SIZE initialization parameter to at least 150 MB:
    SQL> ALTER SYSTEM SET JAVA_POOL_SIZE='150M' SCOPE=spfile;
    If the system uses an initialization parameter file, if necessary, change the values of the SHARED_POOL_SIZE and the JAVA_POOL_SIZE initialization parameters to at least 150 MB in the initialization parameter file (initsid.ora).
    Shut down the database:
    SQL> SHUTDOWN
    8.2.2 Upgrade the Database
    After you install the patch set, you must complete the following steps on every database associated with the upgraded Oracle home:
    Log on as a member of the Administrators group to the computer where the Oracle components are installed.
    Use SQL*Plus to login to the database as the SYS user with SYSDBA privileges:
    sqlplus /NOLOG
    CONNECT SYS/password AS SYSDBA
    Enter the following SQL*Plus commands:
    SQL> STARTUP MIGRATE
    SQL> SPOOL patch.log
    SQL> @ORACLE_BASE\ORACLE_HOME\rdbms\admin\catpatch.sql
    SQL> SPOOL OFF
    Restart the database:
    SQL> SHUTDOWN
    SQL> STARTUP
    Run the utlrp.sql script to recompile all invalid PL/SQL packages now instead of when the packages are accessed for the first time. This step is optional but recommended.
    SQL> @ORACLE_BASE\ORACLE_HOME\rdbms\admin\utlrp.sql
    12. Install JDeveloper 9.0.4 (download it from OTN and just unzip it in a directory ... it doesn't require an oracle home)
    13. Install BI Beans 9.0.4 (download it from OTN as well), run the setup.exe that comes with it and in the destination oracle home select the directory where you installed JDeveloper and give an oracle home name to it)
    14. Install the BIBDEMO schema:
    Create a directory on the computer that is running the Oracle9i database. This install_home directory is the location to which you will upload the data files that are required to build the BIBDEMO schema.
    On the computer where BI Beans is installed, locate the bibeans_home\bibdemo_schema folder (where bibeans_home is the root folder of your BI Beans installation). Copy all of the files found in this folder to the install_home folder on your server machine.
    Open a DOS prompt and navigate to the install_home folder.
    Run bibdemo.bat to install the schema, using the following syntax:
    bibdemo.bat <path to Oracle database files >
    For example, for an instance named my9iService, enter the following:
    bibdemo.bat D:\OraHome1\oradata\my9iService
    You are prompted for the password for the sys as sysdba user.
    The script takes approximately 15 minutes to run, depending on the machine specifications. It is normal to see some error messages while the script is running. In addition, when materialized views are being created in the database, the script will appear to stop; this is also normal. A clear message will tell you when the script has completed.
    The log files (*.log) that are generated by the installation script are stored in the folder from which you ran the script.
    Here's what
    bi_checkconfig.bat -h ana -po 1521 -sid proiect -u bibdemo -p bibdemo -q

    Hi,
    The issue here is if the whole catalog is corrupt or just one schema. So to try and determine the status of the catalog I would try:
    1) Using OEM remove all the objects you created
    2) I presume you created your database using the Database Configuration Assistant? You should have used the warehouse template
    3) Make sure the following accounts are unlocked and also not expired : SH, OLAPSYS
    4) Make sure the password for the SH schema is SH
    5) Make sure the password for the OLAPSYS account is manager
    6) Install the BIBDEMO schema that is shipped with BI Beans. This in the jdev_home/bibeans/bibdemo_schema
    The installation process will remove SH schema from the OLAP catalog.
    7)Once this is installed use JDeveloper to see if you can create a crosstab or graph.
    8) If the BIBDEMO schema works try creating your new schemas one at a time.
    9) Make sure the if you define the a dimension as type time it has END_DATE (column type DATE) and TIME_SPAN (column type number) defined. Otherwise don't define the dimension as type time.

  • Error during Olap metadata retrieval

    Hi all,
    We are getting the following error while trying to establish connection to the olap catalog to retrive olap metadata information for BI Beans
    "Successfully connected to the Oracle database but failed to retrieve metadata.

    Hi Memalyn
    Essentially, the bare issue is that you have a 500GB hard drive with only 10GB free. That is not sufficient to run the system properly. The two options you have are to move/remove files to another location, or to install a larger hard drive (eg 2TB). Drive space has nothing to do with SMC firmware, and usually large media files are to blame.
    My first recommendation is this: download and run the free OmniDiskSweeper. This will identify the exact size of all your folders - you can drill down into the subfolders and figure out where your largest culprits are. For example, you might find that your Pictures folder contains both an iPhoto Library and copies that you've brought in from a camera but are outside the iPhoto Library structure. Or perhaps you have a lot of purchased video content in iTunes.
    If you find files that you KNOW you do not need, you can delete them. Don't delete them just because you have a backup, since if the backup fails, you will lose all your copies.
    Don't worry about "cleaners" for now - they don't save much space and can actually cause problems. Deal with the large file situation first and see how you get on.
    Let us know what you find out, and if you manage to get your space back.

  • Itunes/Ipod Touch Video Playback Problem

    Hi all!
    I am asking all you Ipod guru's for some help and insights, as I am getting slightly frustrated...
    Background:
    For a project at work I am trying to set up a video podcast feed with video's we have created for our customer.
    The idea is that everyone at upcoming management conference will receive a Ipod Touch, with some easy explanation on how to -through a feed- download all our video's for them.
    For that purpose I have set up a testfeed (checked and doublechecked) to get the videos into Itunes.
    The feed works, the channels and videos show up under Podcasts and the videos are playable in Itunes (latest update) with no problems.
    Now the problems start:
    When I connect an Ipod Touch, check manual syncing (I don't want to touch what is already on there), and drag the videos to the Ipod, the videos only show up under the 'recently added' category. The channel does not even show, and even though they are videos.
    I can play the videos from there in Itunes, and they work fine.
    When I eject the Ipod, and then want to watch the videos, I have to really search for them: they are under Music (!!), under 'recently added', and only play the sound, not the video (although the first frame of the video is shown).
    To try and circumvent the problem I directly imported the video into Itunes, instead of through the feed (although that totally negates the whole idea to begin with), the videos nicely show up under the Video category in Itunes.
    When dragged from there to the Ipod, all works. As I then want to see those newly added videos on the Ipod, they NOW promptly show up in the video category, and play perfectly, with image and sound, and fullscreen.
    So, the problem is not with the video itself. What am I doing wrong?
    (nothing has changed in the videos at all from the beginning of the process, the videos were already Ipod-ready)
    Any thoughts, where do the problems originate? Can I do something in the feed already, or...?
    Any ideas will be most welcome!
    Thank you very much in advance.
    Peter
    P.S. it's also impossible to delete the uploaded video's that ended in the 'recently added' category

    Since I've read similar threads on this, I have to think it's a bug.
    What if you create a playlist in iTunes with the Podcast's name on it?
    I can't really think of any other way around this until it gets fixed.
    Oh, and send Apple feedback on this issue - it will help bring it to their attention.

    I've been working at the same problem for hours now and it's really driving me crazy so any help would be greatly appreciated.

    It is working now. I no longer get the message about the item not being available in the US and I can access the store.

  • ITunes 10.5.3 syncing problems

    Ever since I have updated iTunes I have been having problems. Half the time it won't even open or recognize my iPod at all. When it does recognize it, I receive an error when I try and sync it. Usually it's error -60 or sometimes it's an error 50. Is there anything I can do to fix these problems or is it just the newest version of iTunes screwing up?

    Ever since 10.5 came out, I've been reading the RSS feed of this group to see if it was safe to upgrade, and I've been seeing more and more synch problems, especially corruption of the iPod Classic harddisk requiring reloading, and problems and interactions with antivirus. I'm very glad that I've stayed on the 10.4 version; it validates my notion of not upgrading iTunes unless you must (there was one point where the iTunes store stopped working and I had to upgrade).
    I've summarized what I've seen on this forum on a post in my blog. There I've identified a site that supposedly has older versions of iTunes available, although I'd prefer a pointer to an internal Apple site. What I don't know is whether the database format is the same. You could try backing up your database (i.e., the .itdb, .itl, and .xml files in your iTunes directory), following the Apple procedure to complete remove iTunes (found at http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1925).
    I don't know if Apple is aware of the Synch problems created for the iPod Classic in the 10.5.x series, but unless you need to upgrade, I'd suggest waiting. Watch this forum and see what comments show up. For those posting here... please identify the version of iTunes you are using, and what has changed on your system between the last time you were able to synch correctly and when synch started failing.

  • I previoulsy have adding many CD to my iTunes music library and then synched them with my iPhone so that I have all music in both places. And I could the CDs in iTunes or iPhone with no problems. Recently, my iTunes "sees" the music but won't play it. Why

    I have added many CD to my iTunes music library and then synched them with my iPhone so that I have all music in both places. Then I could the play them in iTunes or iPhone with no problems. Recently, my iTunes "sees" the music library but won't play any of it becuase "the original could not be found". If I attach my iPhone, then it pays them through the iPhone, but still not through the library in iTunes. How can I get the music library on my iPhone to transfer (i.e. restore it) to iTunes? I have iPhone 4S but have not upgraded to the iOS 6, and have not had any problems until last week.  Help!  Thanks.

    Check the manual for whatever backup program you used, or, if you just copied the files over, copy them that.
    How to restore data to your PC is outside the scope of these forums.

    I bought an App last month, doesn't work. consulted the manufacture they sent me to iTunes for refund, reported the problem to iTunes, they sending me back to Manufacturer. Can someone please assist me on this, I need my refund for this non functional App. BSSoft and iTunes Stores do something here, when I go back to report it again, I get an error message stating "...this problem has been reported or too old to report..."

  • Restoring iTunes files after hard drive problems

    HI.
    I recently had hard drive problems and since the recovery of the data I have lost all my files from iTunes. The sogs I have put on to the Mac via CD's are all still there but all the iTunes downloads have disapeared. This is probably because I didn't back up!
    I also have numerous duplications, which I eventually removed from itunes but I know the majority of which will return if I drag my music folder across.
    This will be a hige taks again to remove the duplications.
    I want to use this unfortunate incident to my advantage though and now have a clear out of my unwanted files and keep my iTunes nicely organised.
    I also lost my playlists, which is a major pain.
    By looking at the support threads it seems that I can use my ipod to put my library back as it should be. Will this also replace my downloaded songs? My other issue is that some of my iTunes downloads, downloaded with some problems, which are obviously on my ipod. How do I go about getting the songs repaired?
    Thanks for any help.

    I imagine if the files exist on the ipod you can get them transferred over. if they don't exist, they are gone.
    As for the corrupt files you would need to provide more information on the issues.

    My pc is working with windos 8.
    Is there a solution?

    Hey there Rodney274,
    It sounds like you are getting an error from iTunes when you launch it. I would try the troubleshooting in this article named:
    iTunes for Windows Vista, Windows 7, or Windows 8: Fix unexpected quits or launch issues
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ts1717
    Start with troubleshooting for 3rd party plug ins section, then the rest of the article if needed:
    Start iTunes in Safe Mode
    Open iTunes in Safe Mode to isolate any interference from plug-ins or scripts not manufactured by Apple.
    Hold down Shift–Control while opening iTunes. You should see a dialog that says "iTunes is running in safe mode" before iTunes finishes starting up.
    Click Continue.
    See if the issue you're experiencing persists in Safe Mode.
    If you have the same issue while iTunes is in Safe Mode, proceed to the "Create a new user account" section. If you don't experience the same issue, follow these steps to remove third-party plug-ins.
    Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.
    Take care,
    Sterling
