Need help getting artwork from iTunes

New iPod / iTunes user here. After importing my CDs directly into iTunes, I am encountering artwork problems with two CDs that are available in iTunes, yet for some reason I can't use for my imported music.
I researched enough to figure out that the album tags seem to be the culprit in this situation, and was successful in fixing a few other albums, but the following two I cannot figure out what's wrong:
http://phobos.apple.com/WebObjects/MZStore.woa/wa/viewAlbum?id=41228583&s=143441
Henryk Gorecki: Symphony #3 by Zinman, Upshaw, and London Sinfonietta
http://phobos.apple.com/WebObjects/MZStore.woa/wa/viewAlbum?id=27287148&s=143441
Oliver Messiaen: Eclairs sur l'au-dela by Simon Rattle and Berlin Philharmonica
With both, I've edited the tags to match exactly (as far as I can tell) with the versions in iTunes, including spelling, diacritic marks, and punctuation, yet I still get the "artwork not found" message.
I've even tried adding random spacing at the end of the tags, but still nothing. Can anyone help me with this? I was hoping maybe someone who bought these albums off iTunes or got the tags right would be able to let me know if there's some sort of hidden spacing that I'm not catching.
Thanks for any help!

well if you're trying to just get the artwork it's easy enough to do by yourself...
just look up an image in (for example) google search and when you find the one you want as your album artwork just right click and save to a picture file on your comp that you can easily find...
then go to a song in that album in the "music" tab in itunes and right-click. select "get info" and then go to the last tab called "artwork" and select the "add" box. pick the picture and select "ok"
then that pic should show up as your album artwork...
hope this helps

Need help getting songs from iTunes to iCloud and to ios devices.

I just added some CDs onto my iTunes account on my MacBook and they won't transfer to my iPhone or iPad. The titles of the songs show up on my IOS devices within the Music app but they are grayed out and won't play. I'm using iCloud and Music Match. Hopefully something simple. Thanks in advance for your help!

UPDATE - 20 minutes at the Genius Bar and it was resolved. The tech that helped me out had never seen anything like it before but he and another tech starting looking up stuff on one of the iPads that they have which provides them with solutions to all kinds of problems. He tried a few things on my Mac and then kept switching pages on his iPad for solutions. I'm guessing it said "try this and if that doesn't work then go to the next step". Eventually he got it to work so obviously there is a "fix" out there for issues related to iMatch, iCloud, and the Moutain Lion update.
I asked him what all he did to fix it but he said it was too complicated to explain even though it was very simple. Oh well, rest assured that it can be corrected and hopefully someone will be able to post the fix on here so as to save people trips to an Apple Store. One last thing, nothing had to be removed or reloaded in my iTunes account. I hope this helps you out some.

TS1389 I need help removing UAC from itunes..

I need help removing UAC from itunes so it will not allow me to open itunes. Everything I have read from other comments that you shouldn't turn off your user account control. I just to be able to open itunes. Can anyone help me with this problem?? Greg, ogrady612@yahoo,com

I had this problem too but you do not need UAC to be turned on.
Click on start and search for 'uac' in the search box at the bottom and click on 'Change User Account Control Settings' when it comes up. Move the slider to the bottom when the window appears and save the changes and your done!
It's worked for me and my uac has been off for months without causing me any problems!
Hope this helped

Do you have to have a credit card to get artworks from iTunes Store?

Do you have to have a credit card (or another pay option in order to register an account) to get artworks from iTunes Store?
MBP Mac OS X (10.4.8)

No, but signing up without one is slightly tricky. See HT2534 - Creating an iTunes Store, App Store, iBooks Store, and Mac App Store account without a credit card.
If you've already created the Apple ID that you want to use and are now being pestered for a credit card try the method given here. If you use this I'd be interested to know how you get on because I haven't yet had the time to try it myself.

Need help getting podcast to itunes

I need help getting a podcast of the "Dr. Laura Show" to download into itunes instead of another folder in MY Music. The only way I know to do it is after it has downloaded I can drag and drop from the download file into itunes. There must be a way to get it to download directly in a itunes folder labeled "Dr. Laura". Several of my other podcast I use Juicer to download and they work fine. Any help?

Need help getting contacts from outlook 2010

I need help getting my contacts from outlook 2010 to icloud and/or my iphone. I have icloud up and logged in on pc. when I go to a contact to import it says there was a problem reading the vcard. any help is welcomed.

I do have the latest version of DTM and working with OUTLOOK 2000. I know it is old, but it still does what I need it to. I did try to uninstalland reinstall. No luck. The only options listed to sync are yahoo, outlook express, and ASCII inport/export. Obviously it is not syncing my other data either, but it is my contacts that I am most concerned with at this point. The calader would be nice too! Any other suggestions, or is my outlook too old to sync?

Getting Artwork from iTunes Store

Surely it would make sense that you should be able to copy any artwork straight from the store rather than every mp3 having to be exactly or almost exactly like the iTunes version. This would solve a lot of problems as i have to go to Amazon for some of my albums because iTunes doesnt recognise them.

I have the exact same problem. I've painstakingly renamed my HALO and HALO 2 soundtracks to match what iTunes has, and it only recognizes the songs in HALO. Even though it will take me directly to the HALO 2 page, it refuses to recognize the album. Come on Apple, you need to relax the criteria. It's too strict.

Need Help Getting LPs into iTunes

There have to be millions (at least hundreds of thousands) of people who own BOTH an iPod and stacks of old LPs, and have the desire to get those albums onto their iPod, so I am hoping this is a solved problem.
I have used Audio Cleaning Labs 10 to "input" an LP, and have then exported it, both as .WAV and .MP3 files. I used the "Tracklist" feature of ACL10 to name the songs, but I can't find anywhere in the program to name the artist or album. When I "Import" the songs into iTunes, they show up pretty much unlabeled, and are stored in the iTunes music folder under "Unknown Artist." I can go through one song at a time and type the song, artist, album title, genre, etc into iTunes, but the songs still don't get stored in the normal [Artist] - [Album] iTunes dual folder format. I tried simply dragging the songs into the iTunes music folder in this format, but when I launch iTunes it doesn't know they are there - apparently you have to officially "Import" them.
Can anyone give me some guidance on how to make this work? I have about 300 LPs I'd like to have on my iPod, but right now I am getting nowhere. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Clark

are you sure you are importing you only use import to import an audio CD. If you all ready have the files on your PC or they are data files on a CD you need to use File>add folder/file.
once you add them and edit the tags in iTunes they should drop into the right iTunes folders.
Have done this myself so know it works

Need help getting artwork & song titles on my ipod

The computer that contains my ipod library cannot get internet access but I want to add artwork and song titles to my ipod.
I have a second computer that can get internet access, but I don't know how to update my ipod using that second computer since my library is stored on my first computer.
Any suggestions or advice would be greatly appreciated!
Ipod 30GB

Copy your iTunes folder to the second PC and then you could connect to the internet for artwork etc and update your iPod from it. You can use your iPod to copy it over: http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=300173-en

How to get Artwork from iTunes onto iPod

Hi everybody.
I have uploaded quite a few Artworks in my iTunes and now have it set at: "Automatically download missing album artwork"
This works wonders, but...
How can I get it on my iPod as well? It doesn't seem to sinq by itself and when connecting the iPod I can't do the same in the iPod Library?
I have set my iPod on manual as I have way more songs on my iPod then on my comp.
So, how can I get the arwork from my iTunes Library onto my iPod library?
Many thanx
(have Windows and an 30G Video iPod)

If the artwork is assigned to the songs in your iTunes, then it's added to the iPod when you transfer those songs.
If you connect the iPod then click on the 'music' tab, you will see the option to:
"display album artwork on your iPod". Make sure that is enabled.

Need help getting servername from afp volume mount

Hello I am trying to write a script to take the path of a selected file or folder, put it on the clipboard, and make it a PC friendly link/path to email to pc users in my company. We are sharing files off of 3 servers.
My problem is not with the scripting, but with the fact that all mounted volumes from these servers show up only from their mountpoint in the Volumes folder, i.e. /Volumes/DeptShare/Inbox/ and the like. In the "Get Info" Window I can see the servername (Server: afp://servername/pathtofile/etc) but I cannot find any clean way to call that from a script, to tie a mountpoint (Volumes/DeptShare) to the server it's on, if the user has volumes from more than one server mounted...
So my script can't replace "Volumes" with the proper servername.
Hope Im being clear, happy to elaborate, much obliged for any help.

Hi Bob, thank you so much for the quick response.
Unfortunately system_profiler SPNetworkVolumeDataType isn't revealing a server name for me. I think part of the problem is that it is afp; smb does reveal the server name there. Similarly, when I type "mount" in terminal, the afp server/login for the volume is just listed as a long character string starting with afp_ instead of a username@servername like with smb. With the SPNetworkVolumeDataType all I'm seeing re: server info is this: (I think the first part is just bonjour looking at our domain, I actually can't browse any servers through that. But I included it anyways in case)
Servers:
Type: autofs
Mount Point: /Network/Servers
Mounted From: map -fstab
Automounted: Yes
MyShareName:
Type: afpfs
Mount Point: /Volumes/MyShareName
Automounted: No
Another way I was trying to do this was to try and somehow "ping" a path to filename on each server, to see if the file/path could be checked or return an error and the script could know which server it was on. But I can't figure out the right language to do that either. I can do it like this in terminal:
\[-a /Volumes/path/file\]
but not like this:
\[-a /servername/path/file\]
or this:
\[-a afp://servername/path/file\]
so I still don't have the server name tied to the path.
The only other thing I can think of is having the script check the mountpoint name against a list of share names on each server, but that's a little heavier than I was hoping this would be. Plus it drives me nuts that the "Get Info" window can see the servername I can't call it easily somewhere!!

Help getting data from iTunes onto my New iPad from iPhone backup

Hi for 2 days now I have been trying to sync my New iPad2 with my iPhone 3GS, I have followed lots of threads & advice which has been helpful but its not quite happening for me!
I set up iCloud and iTunes as advised, my iPhone & iPad share the same Apple ID. I backed up my iPhone to iTunes successfully, and restored the iPad via iTunes using the iPhone backup, it went thru the motions OK so I assume completed but I can't see any change.
Under "Purchases" in my iTunes account it has two tabs one for the iPhone and the other iPad listing all my Apps so clearly it recognises my Apps but the Apps only feature on my iPhone I can't get them onto my iPad. I even deleted some apps and reloaded them since the sync & backups but it still doesn't work. Strangely under my "Account" in iTunes it says only 1 Device is recognosed by iTunes and thats my New iPad, yet it still shows a Tab under Purchases for my iPhone so I don't understand why this is not listed as a recognised Device under the Accounts tab.
My contacts, calendars etc are in sync between the two devices wihtout any trouble at all.
I did think it was because some of the apps were downloaded before the sync / backup but some threads lead me to beleive you can sync the content no matter when it was purchased. Under the "Purchases" tab for my iPad I can view my "Apps" which has a "Download all" option so Ibeing at a loss what to do next I proceeded to Download All and it was clearly doing this for some time but still nothing on my iPad.
I was advised to turn iCloud off whilst I do the backup and restore on iTunes, and then turn it back on after. I have turned my iPad off/on after these updates but still the apps do not transfer across.
I feel like I am so close now but for some reason something is still not working! Please Help - thankyou.
(Just to add both devices are using the latest software update & iTunes working with Vista Windows on PC.)

Connect and select iPhone in computer iTunes sidebar, in Music tab,
select
     Sync Music,
     Selected Playlists, artists, albums....
     Select the music you want on iPhone.
     Click Sync button (bottom right)

Need help getting pics from Adobe Starter Edition to Photoshop Elements 10!!!

I had Adobe Photoshop Starter Edition already installed on my computer when I bought it. I hadn't used it in quite a while because my camera was broken. I recently got a new camera. I tried to export my pics to my computer and as soon as it came up my pics immediately went to Adobe Photoshop Starter Edition. It wants me to put in a registration code which I don't have because it is no longer a working product. I talked to someone in chat and they said to install Photoshop Elements and I should be able to get them into the new program. I've installed that and I still can't figure out how to do it when the starter edition won't let me do anything without a registration key!!!!!!!!!!! I want my pics back!!! These pics are precious to me.....the sad part is I clicked on the box to NOT erase them from my camera....and it erased them anyways. Can someone please help???
Thanks,
Lisa

Your pictures are not really in the starter edition program.
From an adobe employee Mark Dahm:
"It is a common misconception that Starter Edition 'stores', or copies, your files into it. But the program does not move or copy files at all, rather it scans your system's My Pictures directory, and generates miniature versions of your pictures (called thumbnails) so that you can browse a 'flat' list of thumbnails of your photos, overcoming the inconvenience of having to go into separate folders in Windows Explorer to have to find files.The thumbnails, as well as any tags, and Albums that you create in Starter Edition are all stored in the Photoshop Album catalog file, separate from your pictures, and your pictures remain where you originally copied them to your computer.
If you use Photoshop Album to subsequently download files from a digital camera or scanner, the default location where the program will create those files would be in the My Pictures>Digital Camera Photos folder. But if you do NOT use Photoshop Album Starter edition to download files from your camera, then you will find that folder empty.
The thumbnails in the Starter Edition catalog will exist, even if you decide to move or delete the original photos that were added to the program. This will cause files in the Photoshop Album catalog to become 'disconnected' from the original photos. To reconnect the files, you can use the File>Reconnect Missing files command to see if the program can locate the original files in a new location, and once again re-link the catalog thumbnails to the files they once referenced.
Since Photoshop Album has been discontinued, I recommend that folks find an alternative solution. One alternative that will preserve most of what you've created in Starter Edition is the Photoshop Elements 8 trial. Install that, and it will automatically convert the Photoshop Album catalog to a current format, and the program will not time out, as Starter Edition did. If you want to purchase more Editing power, you can also choose to purchase the full program, but it's not required.
If you are like many who have come to this forum wondering how you can get to your photos, now that the program has become locked or expired, don't worry; your photos have never been moved by Photoshop Album; they remain wherever you intially put them, on your hard drive. To get to them, you can navigate your file system using Windows Explorer. They are typically in your My Documents>My Pictures folder. Here is a handy How-To that you could refer to to find photos on your system, as well as some other tips for how you can use folders to keep your photos organized: http://www.microsoft.com/windowsxp/using/setup/maintain/filemgmt.mspx
Hope those tips help!
