Lyrics say "loading lyrics" forever

Almost all my lyrics just say "loading lyrics" on my iphone 3GS right now. What gives?? This is annoying. I don't even get to see the artwork, I just see "loading lyrics" and the lyrics never load. On some songs, they do load instantly, but the majority just hang. So my phone always says this message with a dim screen. ********. Is there a fix? My ID3 tags have been updated to 2.4.

I (hopefully) managed to fix the issue creating a program that overrides the lyrics tag, fixing somehow the error that prevented the iPhone/iPod to show them.
Stay tuned on http://github.com/mariosangiorgio/lyrics to get the software to fix the lyrics (So far it lacks the user interface but the core is working) and to get lyrics for songs that don't have them.

  • Some songs say "Loading Lyrics"  Foever

    Hey, I got the newest firmware, and iTunes versions. I have Lyrics to every song in my iTunes library (1325 of em...got real bored one day here in Iraq) Anyways, 95% or so of the lyrics work perfectly when i go to the view them, but the rest will say "Loading Lyrics" with a spinning circle..pretty much foever, or until i change the song. Anybody know what causes this problem?
    I've researched the problem for the last hour or so, and 90% of the help out there is for Jailbroken iPods, or for people who dont know how to display it, or get them onto the iPod at all.
    I have them all on there, and know how to do it, but some of them just say "Loading Lyrics" and thats it. I have heard a few people say that converting the id3 tags to an older version should fix this, but I am not quite sure how to convert the tags. Any help on this matter would be Awesome.. Thanks

  • Lyrics on iTunes - "Loading lyrics..." message, but no text

    I like entering lyrics in on my music files. So, I do it the normal way - open iTunes, get info on a music track, then highlight the Lyrics part of the long bar that also has "Video," "Sorting," "Options," etc.
    After I'm finished syncing and launching my Touch, I can play my music - with lyrics on the screen. But with some text-intensive tunes, I get a "Loading lyrics..." message. But the lyrics never come.
    Is there a limit to the amount of text in a music file? How can I handle this "error"?

    I have the same problem.
    It seems that the amount of text is not a factor.
    I've found this (rather rigorous) work-around to work:
    1. Command-click the song in iTunes and select the option "Convert ID3 Tags..."
    2. Select ID tag version 1.1 and click OK.
    The unfortunate side-effect is that, with the lyrics, you also lose the album art, so you may want to copy that out first.
    3. repeat step 1
    4. Now select ID tag version 2.4
    5. Add the lyrics (I use Doug Adams' 'Lyrics via LyricWiki') and re-add the artwork.
    6. Sync your iPod
    I suspect that the root-cause may be some obscure characters being pasted into the lyrics that you can't see, but that causes the iPod to fail loading the lyrics.
    Hope this helps.
    Please let us know.

  • Add on manager won't load in FF11 - simply says "Loading" for hours

    Using FF11 on Win 7, the add on manager simply says loading forever. I'm unable to access my own addons to activate / deactivate them as appropriateI've tried:
    1) Clicking on Extensions, Plugins, Appearance then going back to Add on
    2) Starting in safe mode and resetting user preferences
    3) The addon site is up and working and I can add new addons by accessing the address directly from my browser
    4) Uninstalling and reinstalling firefox
    Any suggestions greatly appreciated. I see this was a problem on FF6 but I haven't seen people having trouble with FF11
    Thanks

    I have a fair few installed but have deactivated them all since this started in the hope that it was a conflict of some kind. The extensions tab is just blank though there should be some extensions there. Just for fun I let it try to connect to the Addon page and after 2 hours - still nothing -- sighhhh
    Thanks for your thoughts

  • How do i delete an app that just says 'loading...' but never has an X

    i downloaded garage band. I have also re-synced my ipad and my computer many times.
    the problem: the garageband icon just forever says 'Loading....' but never actually does.
    I cannot delete it like a fully loaded app because there is never an 'X' that is there when you press it.
    I have tried to reload the app by simplye plugging into the computer as normal when you 'sync' but this app never leaves the 'loading...' mode.
    Help! I either want the app to load and work or I want to delete it.
    For now, since we cant seem to get it to work...how do i delete it?
    I have the ipad with the largest storage and the 3G

    I've just been through this experience with Pages.  I assume the application shows up in your iTunes, under Apps, correct?  If so:
    1) with your iPad connected to your computer, CTRL click on your iPad name under Devices and select the Back-up option.
    2)  from your Summary page (see menu buttons at top of screen), select the Restore button.  NOTE:  This is going to restore your device to factory settings and will take a little bit of time). 
    3)  when the Restore function is finished, there will be an option on the screen to restore from you iPad backup.  Click on that.
    At this point, my Pages application was now an active and accessible icon on my iPad.
    One caveat, this morning when I downloaded a small "to do" app from the App Store, I watched as my Pages icon on the iPad went into "Paused" mode and then plunged into the perpetual "Loading" and/or "Waiting" modes again.  After repeating the steps above, it is once again active on my iPad, but I now wonder if I'm going to have to back up, restore to factory setting, and then re-install everything each time I download a new app...?  Only time will tell.
    This is a problem associated with the 3G service, with it's 20MB limit and, I'm assuming, will occur with every download that exceeds 20MB...?
    I understand that access to WiFi resolves the issue; unfortunately, I don't have WiFi.

  • Youtube on Pearl 8120 - says loading but doesn't load

    I know this has been talked about elsewhere, but I've yet to find a solution.  A lot of sites have said that the Pearl 8120 should support youtube with OS 4.5, which I have.  However, when I click to play a video my media player opens and it says "Loading"  . . . forever.  There's no error message.  The phone doesn't freeze and I can exit any time, but no matter how long I wait it says "Loading." 
    I'm using m.youtube.com and my internet (through wi-fi) and media player have worked fine so far.  Does anybody know how to fix this?  Some have said they've found workarounds by downloading the videos to their cards and playing them from there.  Is there a way to do that from the phone?  I don't see that option.

    Hello, connarbentley. 
    Thank you for visiting Apple Support Communities.
    I would first start with forcing all open applications to close and power cycle the device.  Test opening the Photo App on your device to see if they load.  If the issue persists, see the second article below.

  • When I first am looking at my newly uploaded photos in "Library", a box appears near the bottom of the photo that says "loading" (the photo looks good to me), then it is more "faded" and does not look as good.  Is there some setting on that I am not aware

    When I am first looking at my newly uploaded photos in "Library," a box appears near the bottom of the photo that says "Loading".  While it is loading, I usually think the photo looks "good".  After the photo is done loading, it looks more washed out.  Is there some sort of setting that I might have on (or that I need to turn on) so that this does not happen.  I have Lr4.  Thanks.

    Hi Tracy,
    There used to be a way to see if poster was new to the forum.., anyway - welcome to the forum.
    As I was alluding to, biggest differences in initial display are due to:
    * Camera calibration profile.
    * Auto-exposure/contrast settings (for which compensations have been auto-applied in camera, but not in Lightroom).
    So, choose a matching camera calibration profile (whether that's an option or not depends on your camera model - they're available for many but not all models) if you prefer one of them over "Adobe Standard" (the factory default profile).
    Also, your camera covers for underexposure due to non-optimal auto-exposure/contrast setting, Lightroom doesn't, so your options are:
    * turn it off in camera.
    * learn to compensate manually (or automatically via a plugin) in Lightroom.
    Of course, in addition to preferred defaults (alt-click big "reset" button in dev module), come up with some presets which are appropriate for your druthers and type of photography.. e.g. these will compensate Nikon ADL settings:

  • I keep getting error code 4450 when I'm trying to burn a CD from itunes.  It keeps my CD and won't eject it and says "cancelling burn" forever then itunes locks up and my cd is ruined and NO songs on it.

    i can't burn cd's in iTunes anymore. I get error code 4450 when I'm trying to burn a playlist. Songs from my own cd's, or bought in iTunes (have not burned 7x's as I can't BURN any cd's at all!),  Then my cd gets stuck in the drive. and it says "cancelling burn" forever and then itunes freezes up. I have a Dell with Windows 7.
    -I've slowed down the burn as slow as it can go
    -I have bought 3 different brands of cd's
    -i have the latest version of iTunes.
    Can someone help me?

    I have Windows 7 on a Dell.  Open and play iTunes in the compatability mode and use Windows XP (service pack 2).  Disregard any messsages to disable the compability mode.  This has worked for me.  I have also reinstalled iTunes and played with burn speeds etc.  These ideas did not work.  Compatability mode works.

    when I connect my iphone to my itunes it says loads of space is being taken up by documents , however i have no documents saved on my phone to my knowledge. how do I find and delete these hidden files ?

    I restored the phone so had no apps on it at all and there was still this certain amount of space used up by documents ! I've already had it in to the apple store and they didn't seem to have a clue either ! Ugh ! Wouldn't mind so much if the phone was free with a contract but I actually spent 450 quid buying this phone and it's always full of "nothing" so virtually unusable

  • Ipod touch 4 i can no longer watch movies, transferred to the ipod, on videos app it simply says loading and then stops. On my ipad mini with older ios it still works.

    Ipod touch 4 i can no longer watch movies, transferred to the ipod, on videos app it simply says loading and then stops. On my ipad mini with older ios it still works. So how can I fix this I have tried converting videos into different formats but it will not work.
    Is IOS 8 really appropriate with Ipod Touch 4, if the older Ipods do not have the capability then why are we prompted to install new operating systems.
    Thanks.

    Try:
    - Reset the iOS device. Nothing will be lost      
    Reset iOS device: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
    least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
    - Unsync/delete all videos and resync
    - Reset all settings                            
    Go to Settings > General > Reset and tap Reset All Settings.
    All your preferences and settings are reset. Information (such as contacts and calendars) and media (such as songs and videos) aren’t affected.
    - Restore from backup. See:                                               
    iOS: Back up and restore your iOS device with iCloud or iTunes
    - Restore to factory settings/new iOS device.                       

  • After updating iTunes to 11.0.1.12 and updating Apple TV to 5.1.1 my Apple TV is no longer picking up my photo library. It just keeps saying "loading library" but never brings the pictures up. This didn't happen with previous versions. Any ideas?

    After updating iTunes to 11.0.1.12 and updating Apple TV to 5.1.1 my Apple TV is no longer picking up my photo library. It just keeps saying "loading library" but never brings the pictures up. It also tells me that home sharing isn't on even though it is and then I have to turn it off and on on the PC so the Apple TV even recognizes the photo library. These issues didn't happen with previous versions. Any ideas?

    Update on my previous comment. I have solved my issue. Issue was with Windows 7 firewall not operating correctly. I was unable to add itunes to the 'Allow programs to communicate through windows firewall'. Found the following page useful http://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/forum/windows_7-security/windows-fire wall-cant-change-some-of-your-settings/514d78fb-39e9-47b1-b561-bc49cbdad904
    Followed the instructions to the foot of the page, restarted PC, normal service resumed on windows firewall, added itunes to list to communicate through firewall. restarted itunes, restarted appletv, success!!!
    Hope this may help somone else.

  • Pictures I have taken in the past with my iPhone 5 are now a block and when I click the photo it says loading but never loads. It's like I never took the photos. There's only the blocks with no pictures. I can't click edit or anything

    I'm trying to look at my past photos in my camera roll but all that's there is a block and when I try to click on it the photo says "Loading" but nothing ever shows up. I can't click edit or anything. When I plug my phone in to my computer and open the photo folder they're not even there. It's like I never took these photos

    I notice that the home page redirects to a secure (HTTPS) address. I wonder whether there is a setting blocking this? What if you go directly to a secure page -- will it load?

    Your add-ons list shows AVG, ZoneAlarm, and McAfee products. Could one of them be blocking this site? See whether you can add exceptions or just disable them temporarily and test whether that helps.
