My head is about to explode, I'm so angry with iTunes.
I connected itunes directly to my music folder, as suggested in this thread http://discussions.apple.com/questions.jspa, and it organized everything by artist and album, which I had long wanted to do. BUT IT CUT THE END OFF OF EVERY SONG TITLE THAT WAS OVER A CERTAIN LENGTH.
I went to check and see if the track title in the folder under properties was still the same for a couple of those songs, but they were cut off as well. Keep in mind, I have over 1000 episodes of the radio show loveline, and when there is a guest, the name is mostly cut off.
Somebody please tell me there's a way to fix this. If there is no way to fix this, itunes has essentially ruined my music collection.

Examples of Length of titles:
http://www.amazon.com/Its-Not-Funny-David-Cross/dp/B0001XAQRS
I tried to ID3 tag thing. It's still going, but as an example, here is what it did to a typical loveline episode:
Loveline - 2004-04-24 (Guest- Jake Busey)
It cuts everything off after "Jake" While the ID3 thing is going, I've seen some track titles flash by that are longer than that, so it appears it might be working. I'll keep you posted.
Acutally, I just stopped it for a moment. It was into the "Ds." Here's a David Cross track:
Certain Leaders In Government Look Or Act Like Certain Pop Culture References!
And a song title:
Blinding Tears Will Break The Skies
Seems to be working. I guess I can finally focus on getting my heart rate down. I'll keep you posted.

Questionnaire about AppleTV disappears or does not synch with iTunes
Hi,
I'm heavily investigating the source of this common problem. There are several posts here stating that one solution could be to use a wired connection. As I'm using such a wired connection and have still this problem, I cannot subscribe this. My current results show me that this must have something to do with Bonjour. My personal latest working OS version on the AppleTV was either 2.1 or 2.2. After updating these to the newer versions (2.3, 2.3.1, 2.4) the trouble started and still continues. But I also realized that there was a slight "security" related distinction made in the "original" OS: 1.0 or 1.1. Depending which version it is, there is a difference in the "UPnP" stack.
To keep it short: I would like to know, what current and what original OS version (it's the one you get if you do a full factory restore) you use, and if you face the same trouble as many others.
Well, I make the start:
Having trouble with disappearing ATV: Yes
Current OS: 2.4
Original OS: 1.0
Thanks for you support,
Wolfram.
Message was edited by: Alien66My first ATV had to be replaced because the wireless NIC failed after a few months. The replacement for that one is still chugging along, but it does occasionally drop the wi-fi connection. I had it connected by Ethernet cable for a while, and that stopped the connection loss problems, but I needed the cable for something else, so it's back on wi-fi, and it's back to dropping the wi-fi connection occasionally.
My ATV also becomes unstable after streaming for several hours and either restarts itself or needs to be restarted via the power cord. It also has a tendency to restart itself spontaneously at random times during the course of a week.
All in all, I have to say it's the most unstable Apple product I've ever owned. My guess is that the high temperature it generates affects its stability over time. If this one fails, I'm simply not going to replace it. My iMac with a video cable will still allow me to watch my iTunes videos on TV. The ATV was unique when it was first released, but it's become passe considering that there are now better devices on the market tied to better (and more cost-effective) services. -
Oh, so this is where I ask my question. Sorry, first time here. As I was saying in my long intro, the gray screen come up and the thing is spinning at the bottom, but nothing happens. Then the fan starts reving up like it is about to explode and I have to manually shut it off. A friend told me to start it up with the OS disk and then go to utilities. I couldn't find the thing, so I went out and bought another. Needless to say, it didn't work. Is there a key stroke to help jump start the machine? How can I get into this thing? I would prefer not to take it in because there are a lot of things on there I don't want just anyone to have access to.Thanks, in advance, for your help!

Your drive does need to be repaired, and best things to buy are another backup recovery drive, with a small OS X partition; a copy of Disk Warrior is expensive @ $90 but excellent and best.
Never bother with or use the drive or reinstall while there are errors. Don't take a "clean' bill from Apple Disk Utility to mean there are no errors. Only that it didn't find what it looked for.

Make sure to have multiple backup sets and of your system so if there is a serious problem, you can just erase and restore to be back runninig.
Sounds like your G5 though needs PMU reset, not PRAM, and the best way for those is to clear nvram instead. might even want to check for dust; tell what System Profile says (later) as to "PowerMacX,Y" or "MacProX,1"

The Utility menu is on the menu bar of an "OS X Install DVD" and at the point where you get to but stop at "install....' for OS X. you probably do need to install OS X on another drive to work from.
Oh, a real severe issue and damage to the drive directory or filesystem CAN in cases prevent booting from DVD (the system still tries to find and see what boot volumes are present) and can help to pull or disconnect the drive. Putting a drive in a FW case to turn on after startup is very useful. -
About 10 minutes after launching Chrome, the header text turns to hieroglyphics. What's up with that? I have a screenshot...As I am typing this question, my menu has changed to hieroglyphics.
Sorry I can't help you except to say that I was having problems with a momentary freeze on the trackpad action on an MBP and I traced it to Chrome. Chrome was generating a lot of console entries and the machine worked much better after I got a copy of 'find any file' for three bucks and used it to itentify all files containing 'google AND chrome', which I dumped in the trash. Things have been much better since then.

Get the new keyboard at eBay and replace by yourself may be cheaper way, though you're required higher skill and well know about MacBook Air.

I am about to buy a 13" MacBook Pro with 256 GB SSD. I want a Windows partition set up. What size should it be, and can I load Win XP Pro or does it need to be Win 7 or 8?
You can use XP but it has to be in a Virtual Machine and OS X as the host instead of as a dual boot system with XP in its own partition. That is how I run Windows on my Mac, in a Virtual Machine.
Take a look at VritualBox from Oracle. It's free and works very well. -
Has Apple acknowledged the problem yet with itunes aborting preview of songs after about 10 seconds on windows 7 and if so is there an answer other than ipconfig? IPConfig /flushdns doesn't help at all. Until they fix it I will be previewing and buying my songs thru Amazon.
Doublechecking ... do you still get that if you update to iTunes 10.6.3.25 (just released today)?

hey iphone an iphone 3g and i only have about 13 apps and the yellow bar on itunes for my phone is way to big i deleted all my photos all my music every thing i ryed restoring ans all it still takes up space for sum reason ?? please someone help me
If Other (the yellow bar) is too big something is corrupted. The only solution (that I know of) is to restore from your most recent backup using iTunes (see http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1766).

Since upgrading to Mavericks, 10.9.1, pictures that come attached to emails no longer display. There is only a blank space that after about 1 minute, has a small box with a question mark. Double clicking on the box will open the image in a separate window. It's very slow and tedious for multiple images. How can I go back to attached and displayed images? If I click on "Forward", the images appear instantly in the email to be forwarded.
Scott,
My problem seemed to fix itself. Or, by shutting down the computer one night, instead of putting it to sleep, may have reset something. Since updating to Mavericks, I always (or usually) let the computer sleep overnight or anytime I'm walking away from it. A few days ago, I was updating notes for my kids about how to find all my stuff and how to turn on my computer, so I wanted to rewrite the start-up procedures for the iMac, just in case they ever need to. Well, I shut it down one night so the following morning, I could write down each step. Lo and behold, the images, etc. are all there again! Solved, but I'm not sure why.

My kids now each have an itouch, should we all have different apple ids even if I am paying for all itunes and app store purchases? what about icloud? I would like to share itunes and app purchases, but not necessarily photos...help please!
The recommended solution for most families is to share the same Apple ID for iTunes and App Store purchases, so you can share your purchases, but us different IDs for iMessage, FaceTime and iCloud. With this arrangement, each person can automatically download purchases made on the shared ID (by turning this feature on in Settings>iTunes & App Stores), while keeping their FaceTime calls, text messages and iCloud data (including photo stream) separated. There is no requirement that the ID you use for purchasing be the same as the ID you use for these other services.

i have about 800 more songs on my nano than itunes, due to a crash. How can I get the songs onto itunes from the ipod, or at least get the new music ive gotten since the crash onto my ipod without deleting all the other songs when it syncs?
It has always been very basic to always maintain a backup copy of your computer for just such an occasion. Use your backup copy to put everything back.
If you have failed to bakup, then you can transfer itunes purchases from an ipod: File>Transfer Purchases -

One song at a time. Open the Wish List, and click on the price for the song.
(Older versions of iTunes had a "Buy All" button to allow purchasing the whole list at once, but that feature is no longer there.) -
First time posting, about the last time I try to fix iTunes before I give up
I'm probably not going to make friends amongst the Apple-o-philes. PC user. deal with it; iPhones were sold to us as platform independent; iTunes is offered as a product that works with Windows. OK. I bought into it; my third iPhone, got one for my girlfriend, got 4,000 songs in iTunes. And I find rather than my Apple product making my life better, faster, quicker, stronger, more efficient, I'm spending hours every month doing things I've done or had to do now a dozen times. Every time there is an update, now I have three computers to update and it totally scrambles my music library with now four copies of every file.
Eventhe Apple boards I see online say "Oh, it will take you a few hours, but it's worth it"
That's not the point - why is it neccessary? Arent computers the kind of thing you'd use to sort through a list of 10,000 anythings and let the processor find the 2,500 you want so a human doesn't have to waste "a few hours"????
That there is now an aftermarket program offered for sale at $20 or more to fix the problems with iTunes libraries should embarass someone imprtant at Apple. It surely makes a good argument why we don't see the "I'm a Mac"/"I'm a PC" ads, because my Mac products (iPhones/iTunes) have cost me a lot of money, and taken a lot of my time.' at this point as much if not more than my 3 PC's. My frustration has brought me to tears, and unfortunately in the wake of the death of Steve Jobs, I'm going to say something that may sound "too soon" or at least sacreligious:
If I have "Manage music manually" checked, why can't I just click-and-drag a song straight from Windows into iTunes.? Onto my iPhone?
I mean it was Macintosh that brought the world the computer mouse, at least how most of us learned to use one is because Mac had it first. Click and drag is something that came first to Mac OS, second to Windows.
Why can I not drag a song, a podcast, a movie, from it's Windows location to iTunes, drop it on my iPhone and find it on the phone? Why do I have to go through this "sync" madness to risk wiping my phone clean in the process (as it did once already)? Why does "manually manage music" do no good, because if I drag a song anywhere onto the iTunes window, i Can't drop it anywhere.
I magange to get a Bachelor's degree from a Big Ten university, in of all things Computer Graphics Design. My experience with iTunes and my iPhone at times make me feel like someone must have dressed me in the morning and fed me liquid food through a straw because surely someone this hapless is too hopeless to chew and swallow on his own.
Next, Apple wants me to pay for the cloud, pay for support by the call, pay $40 for a new cord every time the dog chews one or when it comes apart on it's own (which any cable that costs $40 ought not to do under normal use) -
I feel used by Apple. I used to love my original iPod, right now I feel like a stooge and I'm having confidence issues about life in general because iTunes has broken my spirit, and the money-sink reality of this thing is making me glad the cassette deck in my car still works and my mix tapes just don't disappear like my playlists.
Should I just kill myself?

My gen 3 iPod Touch seems to have duplicated all my music since updating to IOS 5 so that it now only holds half as much. What can I do about it? I'm using the same iTunes library with OS 10.6 and all software up to date.
Is the camera damaged? Could be a hardware problem.
Try:
Close the Camera app in the multitasking bar, then try again.
Restart/Reset/Restore your iPod. In that order.
