Itunes refusing to change pdf covers

I'm trying to add a variety of my pdf files to itunes so I can read them on my iPad. I'd like to set the image that displays in iTunes/iBook, but iTunes continuously reverts to the first page of the doc. Any suggestions?

With that one, what you need to do is to associate the .pdf filetype with Adobe reader and the .jpg file type with your preferred image viewer. There's Windows 7 instructions in the following document. You're probably best of looking for the "Associate a file type with a program" instructions rather than the "Set your default programs" instructions:

  • ID3 tags and itunes refusing to add music to library

    As my music collection is growing, I decided to organize it a bit more and fill in the different ID3 tags in windows.
    I have emptied my itunes library before I did all this, and after changing the ID3 tags I added the different albums back to itunes.
    However, for some reason itunes does not want to import several albums anymore, while they do play in windows media player. Furthermore, itunes refuses in many cases to make use of the new ID3 tags I made. Even after uninstalling and reinstalling itunes, itunes seems to remember my settings and the ID3 tags the different MP3s had before.
    Anyone a clue what is happening here? Has it someting to do with the new version of itunes, or is it something else?
    ciao, Gregorius

    Hey, first of all, thanks for your help, but I'm still in problems.
    I have noticed that itunes imports the music files before I alter the ID3 tags (from backup files). However, as soon as I try to add the same file to my itunes library after I have edited the ID3 file (via windows itself), itunes does not add the file to its library anymore. This is happening to a considerable amount of my music. When I try to play the same files in windows mediaplayer, they play without a problem, so I guess the problem is with itunes.
    Somebody can please help me out, because I like to be in control of my music, and not itunes,
    adios Gregorius

  • ITunes refuses to transfer apps from iPhone 4

    iTunes refuses to transfer my apps from my iPhone 4 to the comp. It transfered the songs no problem but whenever i try to transfer the apps it goes though this "speed" transfer process. It takes like 30 sec or less to "transfer" all my apps into my itunes. Ive tried various options like changing out cords and using different ports. I deleted the idevice info in the program data folder etc, etc. Yet nothing works. Im using Win 7 and iOS 4.3.5.
    please help! id like to have my apps actually in my itunes.

    itunes could not connect to the iphone because an invalid response was received from the device. oh joy.
    i also keep getting this now...
    an iphone has been detected, but it could not be identified properly. please disconnect and reconnect the iphone then try again.
    yepp ive done this numberous of times and these responses keep coming up now.

  • ITunes refuses to 'see' external drive

    All my tunes are on an external LaCie 120GB mobile HDD as they have been for a couple of years and all has worked well. Now for some reason iTunes refuses to 'see' the iTunes Folder on this drive it doesn't even seem to see the drive at all. The drive is fine as I can double click a tune from it from the finder and it plays it in iTunes ok.
    iTunes also recognises an interacts properly with my wife's iPod.
    I have checked and rechecked that the iTunes/Prefs/advanced/iTunes music folder location is set to the HDD folder.
    Is this a problem with the latest iTunes version?

    I have stopped, started, uninstalled, reinstalled, used msconfig to stop all other processes, changed drive letter, shut down, reboot, restart with IPot connected, restart with IPot disconnected... nothing on the Apple page has been of any help. Could it be something to do with low power USB v/s high power USB? All thought I don't buy that either. My wife has an IBM T42 and it works no problems, mine IBM T43, does not work. Other USB devises do work on my T43??? Hense the point of this thread.

  • ITunes refuses to recognize current iPod software

    Hi all,
    I had upgraded to the latest version of iTunes (7.1), but after a few weeks, it stopped loading completely. Instead, it began freezing 3/4 way through updating the library. I assume that during the upgrade, the iPod firmware was also upgraded.
    I wasn't able to work my way around it, so I uninstalled ver. 7 and re-installed ver 6. Since then, iTunes opens perfectly (a relief).
    Problem: iTunes refuses to recognize my iPod now, saying:
    "The iPod cannot be used because it requires iTunes version 7.0 or later."
    Obviously, I was having trouble with 7.1 so that's not an option I'd like to explore. Suggestions would be appreciated.

    i have a 3rd generation ipod and my girlfriend has a 2G nano, both of which stopped being recognized by itunes immediately after i installed itunes 7.0.2 (shocking). After some research and playing around i did find a workaround. Plug your ipod in and wait for "Do Not Disconnect". Right click on My Computer and select manage. On the left hand side towards the bottom select Disk Management. Next you should see the name of your ipod in the middle section, right click on it and select Change Drive Letter and Path. Next Click the Add button and choose a drive letter not being used by your computer (Q usually is available) and press OK. Close the Computer Management window and open itunes, you should see you ipod and should be able to update it.
    As far as I can tell, you have to do this each time you plug you ipod in, but it does work.
    Good Luck!

    30G Video iPod   Windows XP  

    I am having the exact same problem, if it is of any comfort. I have an 80GB Classic and a 512MB Shuffle (gumstick variety) and just this evening, when I plug either of them into the USB port, my Mac (G5) recognizes the iPod for a brief moment but then, a message appears saying that (I paraphrase) "an iPod has been plugged in but it cannot be identified properly. Please disconnect and try again." I do try again, and again, but nothing changes. The iPod's icon appears briefly on the desktop, as it should, but quickly vanishes as the error message pops up.
    I tried resetting my larger iPod, per Apple's instructions, but that has not helped. I have restarted the computer twice, and no luck. I have just updated iTunes to the latest version; nothing.
    The larger of these iPods did connect just fine, it turns out, to an iMac in the other room.
    I actually had this larger iPod connected to my computer just this morning, updating its contents with some new podcasts. Ever since, and even now, it plays music and looks fine; it just won't connect.

  • Itunes refuses to import certain tracks

    Hello everyone. ill cut to the chase:
    iTunes refuses to import random songs in my collection that it used to play before.
    I moved my music off of an external and no matter what i try be it adding the tracks to the "automaticly add to itunes" dragging the songs onto itunes going through the menu and adding them doesnt work either.
    the songs play while im in finder. i have the latest updates for a while now so i doubt thats it.
    @_@ im stumped....looked up a few times in google and no solutions for mac at the moment after going through several sites. any help would be appreciated

    .mp3 checked the files myself using command + i
    yes they play in quick time
    no message it jsut does nothing lol
    cant add the tracks to a playlist because i cant get them into itunes.
    normally when i import a song it says "copying randomsong1" and then it adds an entry into the "recently added" smart playlist i tried making a copy of the song changing the name and seeing if that did anything and got the same result. NOTHING happens...

  • ONE song refuses to change using Get Info

    This one's a bit weird... I have one song that refuses to change even though I've modified the Artist name, tried to remove the artwork and change the genre. At first it shows the change (and even appears to have moved the file from one artist-name folder to the correct one). Then, I look back at the file and it's back where it was originally!
    Not sure if it has anything to do with it, but I've also noticed that the artwork wasn't full (the bottom half is all grey). I've actually tried deleting and reimporting the song but with the same result.
    I did a quick search for this issue but didn't see any posts that looked like they addressed this. I don't use artwork, however my next try will be to add a different cover just to see if I can then make the changes stick.
    I have over 25,000 songs that will keep the changes I make, why am I getting stuck on this one???

    Ok, no idea why this kept happening in iTunes, but I was able to change the tags using a different audio program then import that version into iTunes and the changes stayed...

  • ITunes 9.2 and PDFs

    One of the main things I am excited about the 9.2 update is the fact that I can sync PDFs with my iPad and (future) iPhone 4.
    I already purchased multiple books through the iBookstore, but have quite a few PDFs that I already added to my iTunes library.
    Changing metadata such as author, genre, year, etc... are easy.
    But I am not able to add the my custom Artwork for each PDF.
    When I go to the PDF's Info in iTunes the 'Artwork' tab is selectable and when I select it and paste the appropriate artwork in it, I then click OK on the Info window to confirm. But the artwork is not updated for the PDF in iTunes. So when I 'Get Info' of the PDF again, it shows nothing in the artwork section.
    Does anyone have any information about this?
    Thank you.

    Only to confirm your findings.
    As I'm sure you know PDFs don't carry a tag and while iTunes will let you edit most of the availible text fields for most files, even when not really relevant, what you can't seem to do is add artwork that can't be embedded in the tag. The text data just gets stored in the library and is lost if you remove & reimport the file. However, if you have a tagless .wav file that iTunes recognises in the store then it might be able to download store artwork for it, but you won't be able to paste the art in directly. So iTunes can sometimes associate art with tagless files, but only when it's in charge. I don't think it can be done via script, but I'll have a look.

  • HT1364 I have moved my library to an external hard drive and changed the location of the iTunes media folder in Preferences, but every time I close and re-open iTunes, I have to do it all over again.  How can I make the iTunes media folder change permanen

    I have moved my library to an external hard drive and changed the location of the iTunes media folder in Preferences, but every time I close and re-open iTunes, I have to do it all over again.  How can I make the iTunes media folder change permanent?  I have an older machine with Windows XP.

    I don't believe mounting the hard drive should be necessary, unless you have several external drives and want your computer to recognise them as folders, rather than drives. I've never had to mount a hard drive, ever. If you don't know how to do it, then it shouldn't be necessary now.
    Try this:
    Prepare iTunes so that it can see the external drive.
    Make a note of which drive-letter the external drive has been allocated. (Look in Windows Exploer)
    Look at the file location for a song. Make sure it plays (and therefore that iTunes has found it). Highlight it and select File/Get Info/Summary>Where: and make a note of the drive letter for that song.
    Close and shut down the computer.
    The next time you turn the computer on again, connect the external drive
    Before you start iTunes - check the external drive in Windows Explorer. Is it ready, does it have the same drive-letter that it had last time? Can you go into the drive and see the files on it?
    Once you can, start iTunes. (If the drive lettter has changed, you need to work out why before going any further.)
    If iTunes fails to find your external drive, you need to check where iTunes is looking for your Library.
    Select the same song you checked before (presumably iTunes can no longer find it). Follow the procedure for locating it. You should be able to see where iTunes thinks the file is. It's the drive that counts. Which drive letter is iTunes looking at? Is it the same one that it was previously (which should also be the same one that the drive has now).
    What happens, which step do you have problems with?

  • When I edit a song in itunes (i.e change the year) on purchased songs, the next time I return to itunes, the information has reverted back to the original information. How can I change that?

    When I edit a song in itunes (i.e change the year) on purchased songs, the next time I return to itunes, the information has reverted back to the original information. How can I change that?
    When I purchase ITunes music, and it is a song from a Greatest Hits album, the Year of the song shows the year the CD was released and not the year the song was released (i.e. a song may be from 1986, but the Greatest Hits album was released in 1999, so my songs in ITunes show 1999).    So, I go into each of those songs and change it to the year that I want to be displayed. As long as I don't exit out of ITunes, it will show the year that I changed it to (i.e. the 1986 year in this case). But if I exit out of ITunes and then return to ITunes, the year reverts back to 1999. The same happens if I change the genre of a song from, say 'Pop' to 'Alternative', it will revert back the next time I log in.
    Oddly enough, as soon as I right-click on that song to change it back, the year/genre that I had entered returns.
    How can I make it so my changes are permanently displayed as I want them?  This is pretty annoying when I try to find a song on my Ipod under a certain genre, but it doesn't appear in that genre because the incorrect information gets synched to the Ipod.

    Make sure that these two options in Edit > Preferences > Store are turned off:
    Then exit iTunes and open it up again.  Your metadata entries should then be persistent - with these options checked iTunes will be comparing what you have with the information held in the iTunes Store, and will overwrite with the latter for Store purchases (and if you have iTunes Match).  If you have any iOS devices you should also turn off Show All Music under Settings > Music.

  • HT1529 The latest version of iTunes has completely changed my ability to access my iTunes.  I can no longer burn a CD that will play on anything other than another computer.

    The latest version of iTunes has completely changed the format and also why will it not allow me to burn a CD compatible with other devices?

    I'm using iTunes 11.1.1 on a Mac mini running OS 10.7.5 and I burn CDs which play in this machine's external optical drive, my car, and the Pioneer audio CD players downstairs.  I typically use Verbatim recordble CDs. After selecting the playlist I want to burn, I make sure that "Audio CD" is selected - this has always been the default for me.  If this isn't working for you, I don't know what to say - but I'd suspect the drive you're using to burn CDs is getting wonky.
    Good luck
