Lyrics-What's Up? They don't stay in itunes Can't view on iPod?

So what gives?
I've put lyrics in for several whole albums and they don't stay. Then The ipod says it knows there are lyrics but can't display them.
I read the IPOD PDF and it doesn't supply any help.
Any suggestions?
I put lyrics in a file and selected all and set all to Times font.
Cheers,
Ramona
Running current itunes and ipod OS.

Yeah they are AIFF files for sure.
So I did the deal you suggested for a playlist that was in mp3 format. It had the option to convert the tags. I converted the tags to 2.3 and input the lyrics and synced. *Works fine. But only for mp3 files.* Not for the AIFF files at all.
The message the ipod says when I try to view lyrics of AIFF files is...
*_"lyrics detected, but unable to retrieve"_*
Further more itunes does not store lyrics properly for AIFF files. They disappear randomly.
I viewed the playlist with the lyrics that was in MP3 and that is just so darn cool...I wish it worked with the AIFF files. I'll get around to making 2 playlists of the same album but one in mp3 and then one in AIFF and see how they sound on my various music players.
I just didn't want to diddle around converting even part of my 70g library on the lappie to mp3. Blech!
I don't have much patience for things that don't make sense... And this doesn't make sense to me...that the lyrics are only viewable on the ipod if the music format is in MP3.
I'll try and report back soon if my Epistemology homework doesn't eat my brain out first. Thanks for the help!

My children just got iPods touch. I registered them on my account so they can have acces to my I tunes Acc. Now they have all my list of contacts receive my messages have my music my pics, also when they install an app like pandora they have all my stations, things that they don't want. How can I fix this.

As for iMessage, you do Settings -> Messages (scroll down) -> where it says iMessage, turn the switch to off.
As for pictures, you do Settings -> iCloud -> Photo Stream -> My Photo Stream -> turn switch off.
As for apps, you do Settings -> iTunes & App Stores (scroll down alot) -> Music, Apps, Books are all swtiched off.
If you want to the delete the music, you go onto the music app and slide your finger from right to left on the song.

I use USB portable speakers from Trust, but they don't work with iTunes, but they do with wmp... any tips?

Hello,
I currently use Trust USB portable speakers in combination with my windows 7 minilaptop. But the problem I have is that they don't work with iTunes(newest version). However, they do work fine with WMP, any ideas how I can solve it?
Thanks!

Contact the manufacturer of the speakers.

How do I delete songs from my iCloud account when they don't exist in iTunes?

I have several songs that showup on my iPhone 4s with the cloud icon and downward pointing arrow.
1. I've just deleted all songs on my iPhone4s
2. Only songs with the iCloud icon showup
3. The songs on my iPhone4S that showup with the iCloud icon don't exist in iTunes
4. I don't use iTunes Match
5. I know that I can turn off "Show All Music" in the Music Setting to not show those songs, but I want to delete those songs I no longer have from my i Cloud account.
How do I delete those songs with the iCloud icon?
Thank You...

You can't delete them from iCloud because they aren't stored in your iCloud account (and don't use any of your storage). They are stored in the iTunes store, and the cloud symbols are links to your previous purchases. If you don't want to see them, hide them on the purchased list in iTunes on your computer, as explained here: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4919.

Speakers were working with Airport, now they don't work...can someone help?

My external speakers were working nicely with Itunes and Airport for the last year and then last week, they do not work with Itunes. I think it has to do with the new itunes update. I have tried rebooting my computer and Airport Extreme with no luck. Can somebody please walk me thru the process to get my computer reconnected with my airport!?
Thank you very much in advance!

Can somebody please walk me thru the process to get my computer reconnected with my airport!?
Sure, here are the basic steps to configure the AirPort Express for iTunes streaming:
AirPort Express Base Station (AX) - iTunes Setup
Either connect to the AX's wireless network or connect directly, using an Ethernet cable, to the Ethernet port of the AX, and then using the AirPort Utility in "Manual Setup" mode, make the following changes:
AirPort > Wireless
o Wireless Mode: Join a wireless network
o Network Name: <existing wireless network>
o Wireless Security: <select the encryption type of the existing wireless network>
o Wireless Password: <enter the existing wireless network password>
o Verify Password: <re-enter the existing wireless network password>
Music
o Enable AirTunes (checked)
o iTunes Speaker Name: <enter desired speaker name>
o iTunes Speaker Password: (optional)
o Verify Password: (optional)
o Click Update to write the new settings to the AX
In iTunes:
iTunes > Preferences... > Advanced > General
o Look for remote speakers connected with AirTunes (checked)
The other thing to take into consideration, is that the iTunes host must be able to "communicate" to the AX in order to stream to it. Anything that would "block" the path could prevent audio from reaching the speakers. I would also check your computer's firewall settings to make sure iTunes is not being blocked.

Ubuntu, Windows, and iTunes can't see my iPod. What can I do?

I have an iPod 5g and i have been messing around with it and i discovered the problem of iTunesLock preventing me from accessing the iPod and putting itself back on. Well in a stroke of genius I deleted the Play Counts and iTunesLock files also trying to see if that would stop iTunesLock from reappearing every time i plug in my iPod.
Now my computer (running Ubuntu 7.10) does not see it at all. Also windows does not see it, until i remove it then it says my iPod is corrupted, but when i connect it, iTunes denies any knowledge of seeing it.
I tried to use this website to help and it did nothing for me.
http://www.macworld.com/article/38851/2004/09/trubipod.html
Right now when i turn it on it shows the "Connect to computer. Use iTunes to restore iPod."
then it goes into disk mode. Strangely, even in disk mode neither windows nor Linux can see it.
I went into the diagnostics menu and everything seems to check out fine.
i know there is a .Trash-matthew file on the iPod and i have a great suspicion that if i can get on the iPod and see the hidden files then i could just put the file back.
Also BIOS does see it so I don't think its completely bricked yet.
I am using linux but I have access to Windows Vista. So I can work in either format.
for those versed in Linux here are some commands and their outputs for you to use:

Iphone 4 with ios 5 and 6 with intermittent wifi. Sometimes I can find my networks but they don't stay and sometimes my phone cannot scan for networks

I never had a problem with ios 4. I add an issue with my last iphone 4, my fault. Apple sent me a new phone with ios 5. Worked great for a couple of weeks. Then my wifi started dropping. Not a huge deal. Picked it up again. Then it happened more frequently and the wifi dropped. Not happy. Then it stopped locating my home router completely. "Could not scan for networks". Awesome. So I updated to ios 6. WORSE. Wifi greyed out. So I found a solution (thank you) from someone on the forum to stop all running programs (home menu twice and hit x to programs on there) and shut phone off for 5 minutes. No more grey-out wifi, but scanning still didn't work. But then occasionally it did. Weird. I've tried all the 'creative' suggestions like resetting networks/ phone, router, etc. This is not a problem with just a few phones. I have seen several posts from people who are having this same problem. Some say it's software; some say hardware. I don't know what to think. Now it's back to 'could not scan for networks'. I've tried to change settings on my iphone and router. I don't know how to reset my router to factory settings (Cisco), but am working on that. Seriously though... I shouldn't have to jump through hoops here. Apple should be bending over backwards to resolve this annoying issue. Yet.. no word from Apple. No timeline for this fix. I have run the gamuet (sp?) on fixes for all kinds of wifi issues. I feel like I've had them all short of water damage (absolutely no water has touched my phone through my cage-like case). So. On Monday... I may have to take my phone in to an Apple store to see if I can get a replacement. Software/hardware/who cares. I shouldn't have to search on here for a solution. The answer SHOULD be easy and resolved. I'm thoroughly annoyed.

Restoring from backup does not seem to always restore the password for email accounts.

Delphi has given up after Version 4.x. What now? They don't support your product so now we can't either. Any plans to make your web server a little nicer?

Um. I'm not sure I understand your question. It really sounds like your question should be addressed towards Borland's support team.
I haven't worked with Delphi since 1997, but I'll make a couple of observations:
It looks like Delphi's WebSnap interfaces with iWS via NSAPI. And the NSAPI in iWS 6.x is backwards compatible. So even if Borland doesn't officially support iWS 6.x it should still work fine.
If Borland is going to continue producing Delphi they will probably certify iWS 6.x soon. iWS 4.x support ends this fall and iWS still has the majority of the marketshare for the F500. Not certifying an enterprise product against iWS 6.x (especially a product that should already work unchanged) would seem to be a bad idea on Borland's part.
As far as planned improvements to iWS, of course there are planned improvements. But that doesn't seem to be the issue here. There are already lots of improvements that you would get if you upgrade from 4.x to 6.x. It's just that you are unable to take advantage of because of the Delphi tool. Another iWS release would only make your problem worse.
As far as "what now?", I'd suggest badgering Borland to support iWS 6.x. iPlanet has made it as easy as possible for ISV's. It just sounds like they have to train their support desk on iWS 6. And the only way to motivate them to do that is to have customers call them.

My pinned apps tabs keep disappearing. They will stay for a week or so, then all of a sudden they're gone. I checked the forums and everything that was suggested there, I did or un-did. But there's no point in having the tabs if they don't stay.

My pinned apps tabs keep disappearing. They will be there for a week or so, then they just aren't there the next time I open the browser. My settings seem to be OK, i.e. no clearing of history, etc.
It's frustrating because then I have to go through the whole process of pinning everything as app tabs again.

Try the suggestion in this thread: http://support.mozilla.com/en-US/questions/840901 instead of the garbage above. You would think mozdevs who actually know a solution to this problem would post the solution in all the relevant threads.
If it doesnt work too, I'm ready to get rid of FF as my primary browser.
Why bother providing a feature thats buggy ?? I once wasted my time pinning 20 apps over and over again till I realized it was poorly written and unsupported.

When I change preferences on Safari they don't stay

How do I make changes to Safari preferences permanent?

Might be corrupted Safari preferences ...
Open a Finder window. From the Finder menu bar click Go > Go to Folder
Type or copy paste the following:
~/Library/Preferences/com.apple.Safari.plist
Click Go then move the com.apple.Safari.plist file to the trash.
Quit and relaunch Safari to test.

Apps: download them but they don't appear in iTunes

hi guys,
when I donwload an app via itunes i see it dowloading into a "download" temporary folder right below the "itunes store" tab on the left of the itunes. Apps stay there for a while then disappear and i can't even find them in the apps tab of itunes.
And still, when i check my hard disk i can see them in a folder called "mobile apps" into my "itunes" folder.
I want to download apps from itunes instead from iphone. I download them but I just can't find them on itunes once downloaded.
What's wrong with all that?
I have an iphone 3g, 2.2.1 fw
thank you for your help.

I see a large number of messages about iPhone apps "crashing" and authorization issues. I was frustrated for many months about some, many or most apps "crashing" at startup after installing new apps. In my case "crash" means that the initial screen of the app would briefly appear and then the iPhone would revert to the original screen shown before the app was started.
Newly downloaded apps would always work. You could remove any app then download it again and it would work. At some latter time you might sync with iTunes and after that many apps would start "crashing" again.
What a frustrating experiance!
BTW, my computer runs WindowsXP, I think that not using a Mac is likely to be a key part of people's issues!
So, the summary of the issue is:
Download a new app on your iPhone. Sync with iTunes on your Windows system. Look at the list of applications iTunes is aware of. Note if iTunes does not have a complete list. Over time note how apps not on the list start to "crash" on startup.
I've finally found a solution that appears to resolve my app crash issues:
Sync your iPhone to iTunes. Deautorize and reauthorize your computer. Note how the iTune applications list has added more items including your most recent App Store downloads. Sync your iPhone again using the button on the iTunes Applicaiton screen. Enjoy the fact that your apps on your iPhone now all run OK. Remember to deauthorize and reauthoirze your computer when you sync after you install more apps on your iPhone.
The apporach above has changed my experiance from frequent frustation to no more issues.
Not sure if it matters but I've yet to add any actual music on my iPhone. I do have some podcasts. Perhaps if I had music that needed authorization that would change things. Also, I have no apps which cost money. Again, if I had for fee apps maybe that would change the situation.
It seems like there are a lot of folks having app "crash" issues. The Digital Rights Management authorization seems to be in the middle of the issues. My guess is that iTunes on Windows with iPhone does not get quite the same attention as on Mac. These issues seem to cause many folks to be frustrated. Suggested solutions include a complete system reset which allows the iPhone to "work correctly for a few months".
As far as I can tell latest updates of all SW involved still show the issue. If it really has been resolved or it's somehow my user stupidity my appologies for wasting other's time.
Since I've found a solution that's not too painful I'm happy. However, Apple may want to improve the user experiance for the masses.

When an album has multiple artist how can you make them show up on an iPod Touch 4G? I can find an artist using the search function but they don't show up in the artist view on my iPod. iTunes shows them OK when you sort by artist.

Tech support seemed to understand the question but had no answer. Why would an album with only one artist show the artist but an album with multiple artist not show any of them. The album art show various in iTunes. That makes sense but on my iPod I would expect to see all artists.

Wish I did. I tried the group function but that didn't help in iTunes. The search function is the best I came up with. I can answer the question do you have susch and such artist. But I can't browse for an artist I don't remember exactly or have misspelled. Fortunately I don't think I've bought anything from iTunes that i already had. If you can't see an artist it's possible you think you don't have something you actually do have. Sorry, still hoping for a better work around or better yet a fix.

I have the latest version of Thunderbird, my hyperlinks used to work fine now they don't work anymore I can send and receive email

My iphone4 no longer shows my music files?? They don't appear in iTunes either but my music is still there as 1) the 'summary' shows 28gigs

My iPhone is driving me insane! It started having problems synching the phone to iTunes (basically, iTunes was saying that it couldnt recognize the phone). After hours and hours trying to resolve the issue I found some advice on the internet. I downloaded iPhone Explorer and deleted a couple of files as suggested & this resolved the problem. The phone started to synch again and updated the phone with the latest software. However, the 'Summary' was showing all my music/video files as 'Other'.
I've since synched the phone & the problem is now even worse!!! My iPhone no longer shows any music/videos, even when I connect to iTunes! However, the summary still shows a capacity of 28 gigs so the music files are still in the phone?!? Likewise, I've checked the phone files using iPhone Explorer & the music files are still in the phone?!?
Does anybody have any idea how to fix this problem. I've only got half of music library backed up so dont want to restore as I'll lose half of my music library!

I'm happy to totally restore the phone.......once I have completely backed up my music files! I can't back up in the normal way as the music files are not recognized in the iPhone or iTunes.
The original problem occurred as a result of a corrupted synch. This seems to be a problem a LOT of people have had (based on all the Internet research I've done). I did everything suggested (uninstall/reinstall iTunes, update iTunes, reset iPhone, use a different USB port, use a different connection cable, update drivers, restart computer with iPhone connected......and nothing worked!!!). Having spent days and days looking for an answer I eventually found a solution that was supposed to work. It was suggested that I download the 'iPhone Explorer' software and delete a couple of directory files which I did. This partially resolved the issue, iTunes recognized the iPhone and updated the iOS software.
Quite simply, the music media files are still in the iPhone, it just doesn't recognise which directory the music cache is in. I need to either:-
* figure out how to get the iPhone to find the correct directory again or:
* figure out how to extract the remaining music files to create a complete back up and then restore the iPhone

My MacBook Pro is always over heating. I've tried SMC and all those fan setting programs but they don't do anything. Can someone tell me how to stop this?

This is becoming too much. I'll have Google Chrome open and nothing else yet it still reaches 70 to 85 degrees celsius. I've tried everything but nothing works. None of these forums or videos are helping. Does anyone know what could be causing this? And how can i stop this? I'd appreciate it

Take the computer to an Apple store or an AASP. Whichever is more convenient for you.
