New ITunes...systematically misses one file when updating TAGS of an album

With the latest version of ITunes (811) I am confronted with an annoying behaviour.
I like to have comprehensive TAGS when I import an album...proper GENRE, name of ARTIST, YEAR, album COVER and so on. So I always verify, and if necessary update the tags.
Now, with ITunes 811, it always misses one of the tracks from the list of tracks I want to change.Consequently, I need to select this track and perform the complete cycle of Tag editing again...twice as much work, and a genuine irritation.
Any solution, known bug?
Thank
Patrick

Just wanted to add my 2 cents...
The original poster of this thread says it started on iTunes 8.11...well I'm using iTunes 10.1.2.17 and it's still doing it for me and has been for AGES. It is really frustrating. I highlight a whole album and add all the tag info because I am really pedantic about all of it being organized and all with proper names, artwork, etc.. Not every time but I'd say fluctuating between 50-100% of the time and normally about 90% of the time it will miss tag updates on one of the tracks. Normally the last one or towards the end of the album but it could be any, really. So what I do is I highlight the album, update the tags, click ok. Then before I even check if there's one track that didn't get the updates, I just immediately click 'Get Info' on all of them again and sure enough the tags will be empty on all the ones I just updated. This is because one track didn't get the updates so iTunes sees the selections as having one or more different values. So I put in all the values again. This could happen for any of the tags I update, including album artwork. So basically, when I do tag updates for an entire album I just always do the updates twice. I could search through and find the actual track missing the updates but I've found that this takes even more time. On the off chance that when I click 'Get Info' the second time and see that all the tags are updated I then jut hit cancel and move on, as I clearly don't need to put the tag updates a second time. But that hardly ever happens.
What's interesting is that before, without fail, one track would miss the updates and all the updates I did. So if I updated Artist, Album and Genre then one track would miss them all. Now sometimes the one track that missed the updates will pick up one or more of the tag updates but not all. This is actually more frustrating because it means when I highlight the entire album for the second time it gets confusing because my eye will quickly catch that some of the tags were updated, leading me to believe that 100% of the tracks caught the updates that first time but really if I look more closely I see that a couple of the tags didn't get updated.
There's actually a few buggy little issues like this in iTunes that I've noticed haven't gotten fixed over update after update after update of iTunes from Apple. I don't get it....
Also, why can't you add MULTIPLE artwork to more than one file at once? If you highlight an entire album and want to add the artwork for the front and back and CD of the album, then you have to choose one, and only one, picture which will obviously be the artwork for the front of the CD. Then, I used to manually go through all the tracks, go to the Artwork tab and then add the back or other CD artwork files. Now I just add the front artwork to all of them together, then click only the first track and add all additional artwork to only track one.
iTunes also has a little bug where many times after doing a search and it coming up with a list of music, such as "The Beatles", it will take about five seconds before it will let me scroll down the list and sometimes will take about five seconds before it will let me see the mouse pointer on the iTunes window. Anywhere else on either monitor I can see the mouse pointer but as I move it across the iTunes window it disappears until it pops out the other side as I keep moving my mouse.
I could keep going with this list but this thread is really only supposed to pertain to the first thread's topic so I've probably already said too much. We can't keep meeting up like this anymore or they'll find out.
Anyway, so that's that...

Error report form iTunes Store: Missing Nib File

After having uploaded the .zip-file to the iTunes Store (update of an existing app), I got the following error-report from the iTunes store: Missing Nib File - The referenced nib file "MainWindow.nib" was not found in the application bundle. Is it possible that this error occurred while creating the app in the Adobe app builder or where do I have to look for this error? The first uploading of the original app worked without an error. What do you recommend me?
Thank you very much for an answer.

I started with one itunes account for my iphone and ipad, and now have a second ipad linked to the same itunes. Can I set up a new itunes account for one ipad without losing what has already been downloaded on it?

A much simpler solution would be to go into Settings > Store and turn off Automatic Downloads

Try this...
Empty/corrupt library after upgrade/crash
Hopefully it's not been too long since you last upgraded iTunes, in fact if you get an empty/incomplete library immediately after upgrading then with the following steps you shouldn't lose a thing or need to do any further housekeeping. In the Previous iTunes Libraries folder should be a number of dated iTunes Library files. Take the most recent of these and copy it into the iTunes folder. Rename iTunes Library.itl as iTunes Library (Corrupt).itl and then rename the restored file as iTunes Library.itl. Start iTunes. Should all be good, bar any recent additions to or deletions from your library.
See iTunes Folder Watch for a tool to catch up with any changes since the backup file was created.
When you get it all working make a backup!

Missing mscrv80.dll file when updating itunes. what is it and how can I get it back?

When updating itunes the new installation said I was missing mscrv80.dll file. I've reinstalled but still doesn't work. How can it be repaired?

Go to Control Panel > Add or Remove Programs (Win XP) or Programs and Features (later)
Remove all of these items in the following order:
iTunes
Apple Software Update
Apple Mobile Device Support (if this won't uninstall move on to the next item)
Bonjour
Apple Application Support
Reboot, download iTunes, then reinstall, either using an account with administrative rights, or right-clicking the downloaded installer and selecting Run as Administrator.
The uninstall and reinstall process will preserve your iTunes library and settings, but ideally you would back up the library and your other important personal documents and data on a regular basis. See this user tip for a suggested technique.
Please note:
Some users may need to follow all the steps in whichever of the following support documents applies to their system. These include some additional manual file and folder deletions not mentioned above.

I keep on getting the message "missing .dll file" when I try to install Itunes on Windows 7 what is wrong ?

I am using Windows 7 (64) and keep on getting the message of "missing .dll files" after I attempt to install the latest version of ITunes. I attempted to install an earlier version and had the same results. I have uninstalled and reinstalled ITunes to no avail. I have queried this message on Google and found little to go by.
Can anyone help from here ?

This has just happened to me - again. Can't think what caused it. I uninstalled Quicktime a little while ago, maybe connected? I don't know. Uninstalling iTunes, or repairing, or a fresh iTunes install does not help
Even if you keep downloading and putting the dll files it keeps asking for in the sysWOW64 and/or System 32 folder, Apple Mobile Device Support will not not 'start' from Services.
Anyway, as well as itunes, you need to also un-install Apple Software Update, Apple Mobile Device Support, and Bonjour, then reinstall the latest iTunes to get it all working again

Missing music files when loading iPod Classic.

I just finished converting all our albums and 45's to MP3 files. These all list and play fine in iTunes, but when I load the files on our iPod Classic, there are always about 50 songs missing. I have done this 4 times, and it's not always the same files, but always about the same number of files. The missing songs are about half missing at the beginning of the list, and half missing at the end of the list. I have 7455 files in iTunes, but after loading the iPod, there are around 7400 files actually on the iPod.
There is plenty of free space left on the iPod, The missing files are never the same songs as I try different times. The files are not corrupted, as they list and play okay in iTunes.
Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance for any help you might give.

"Other" means files that have become corrupt and the iPod no longer knows what to do with them.
The usual procedure is to move (or copy) your iTunes Library from your old computer to the new one. If the computer (or its hard drive) is not available, the procedure is to use the backup of the Library.
I'm guessing that you don't have a backup of your Library. Although your old computer has "died", do you still have the hard drive? If so, you could put the hard drive into a hard drive caddy, use it as an external device and copy the iTunes Library from that onto your new computer. A local computer repair shop should be able to help you with that.
Failing that, you will have to re-build your Library again.
If you purchased music from the iTunes Store, check in your store account to see if your country allows you to download the music (that you purchased) again.
If you purchased digital music from other stores, check with them to see if you can download the songs again. In Amazon UK, you can.
For music that you imported into your iTunes from CDs, you will have to import them again, from the CD.
For the future, I suggest you maintain a backup of your iTunes Library. If you now have an external hard drive in a caddy, use that. Otherwise, buy one, the larger the better.
Also, as you are now finding, an iPod cannot be put back into a new iTunes. Nor is it a backup of your Library. Everything should be in your iTunes Library - and backed up onto an external drive. The iPod is simply a portable "copy" of your Library, only for playing the music.
Sorry to be the bearer of bad news.

The new itunes overfills the window on my desktop ( windows 7). When I move it to the left so that I can access the slidebar on the right, part of the left side of the screen then disappears. How do I correct this?

The problem of tracks becoming de-linked between iTunes and the music files in your iTunes music folder happens for different reasons - this seems to come up fairly commonly in this forum.
The solution can be to locate each song in the iTunes library, as you mentioned - or, but wait, before I get to that...
trouble finding the original track in your iTunes music folder? maybe look for it under compilations, or if not using the 'group compilations preference' then look in the folder under the songs artist name, but what song artist name iTunes uses depends on what you have in the metedata tag spot for album artist or song artist. Any varyation in artist name spelling, in the menu item 'get info' metadata for any selected individual track will cause iTunes to create that as a separate artist folder in the library, even names like 'various' or any difference at all (even the word 'the' can change where in your iTunes music folder a track gets placed by iTunes). You can try to use the finder function of find file (finder munu item outside of iTunes) to locate hard to find items.
Back to how to re-link any de-linked tracks .
There may be scripts that can help re-link de-linked music files - or, at least provide you a list of such files, Scripts are easy to install and use...
at Dougs Scripts, there is one called iTunes Track CPR that might work
http://dougscripts.com/itunes/scripts/ss.php?sp=itunestrackcpr
or, if you just want a list of de-linked tracks, go to
http://dougscripts.com/itunes/
and find the script called List MIA's, this will create a text file listing all de-linked tracks

60G Ipod, new iTunes locks up my computer when syncing?

What the heck???!!! i have a 60G photo ipod and after updating w/the new iTunes 7 software my computer immediatly freezes when syncing. I already tried reseting ipod, also restored ipod no use. I've got 20G of music i want to download to ipod and i can't?
Can someone help please?
Thanks!

I also am having problems updating my 60GB ipod photo.
With itunes 6 it would take 5-10 minutes to update.
I waited until 7.0.1 was released thinking that the patch would have addressed the bugs in v7. However now my ipod takes 2.5 hours to update (even when no changes have been made). This performance can not be blamed on any other software as itunes is the only app that has been updated.
Itunes uses 85% of my CPU for around 2 hours before any ipod activity occurs. So it may appear that it has hung but will eventually get there. The PC is unusable though during this time.
I can't believe apple didn't detect these issues during testing.
Does anyone know if apple are addressing/acknowledging this problem and when an update/workaround is likely to be released.
Spending 2.5 hours every day to update my ipod is not acceptable.

What's GOING ON???. New iTunes and now I can't update my iTouch

What is going on. My 2nd Gen iTouch is freezing with the new iTunes!
I can NOT update the iTiuch to the new 4.1 operating system. It freezes when it starts with the initial backup before intalling the firmware.
Anyone know fix?????

Missing header files when importing a shared library with labview 8.6?

Hi all,
I want to import a .dll into my .vi program but I am not able to do it...
I have created the dll following the ni website tutorial
http://zone.ni.com/devzone/cda/tut/p/id/3303#toc2
Once the dll has been created, I have tried to import it with
Tools-Import-Shared Library(dll)
After parsing the header file appears an error like this one:
void __cdecl Zdmt(LVBoolean *stop, double P, char channelName[],
    TD1 *errorIn, TD14 *FFTOptions, TD12 *Calibration, char FileName[],
    int32_t minRecordLength, TD26 *InstrumentHandler, LVRefNum sessionRefArray[],
    LVRefNum *queueIN, TD1 *errorOut, LVBoolean *averagingDone,
    HWAVES LastRecordFetched, TD24 *Impedance, TD17 *ColeColeCluster,
    TD18 *FFTcluster, TD5 *InstrumentHandleOutputCluster, LVRefNum *queueOut,
    int32_t *Acquired, TD6 *FreqTimeInfoCluster, double *averagesCompleted,
    int32_t len);
The following symbols are not defined:
LVBoolean; int32_t; LVRefNum;
Undefined symbols can prevent the wizard from recognizing functions and parameters. To correct this problem, check the header file to determine if you must add predefined symbols. Click the Back button to return to the previous page of the wizard to add a preprocessor definitionsl (for example, "NIAPI_stdcall = __stdcall" or "NIAPIDefined = 1").
The following header file was not found in the specified header file or one of the referenced header files:
- extcode.h
To fix, click the Back button to go to the previous page and add the header file path to the Include Paths list.
I have replaced the first line #include "extcode.h" of the dll header file for #include "C:\Program Files\National Instruments\LabVIEW 8.6\cintools\extcode.h" that is the full path where the header file is located. However, new libraries seems to be missed:
- stdint.h
- MacTypes.h
Does anybody know what I have to do??
Any help will be really appreciated,
Regards,
Benjamin

If you use any of the LabVIEW cintools headers, they reference other headers too. The import wizard is written in a way that it simply skips parsing datatypes that can not be resolved due to missing header files. If your functions you want to import references such datatypes then you get an according error about any include files the wizard could not load, otherwise not. The wizard can not know which of the missing header files is the problem since it obviously doesn't know what would be in those header files.
The LabVIEW cintools headers are multiplatform, meaning they evaluate various compiler predefined defines to determine which platform they are included in. The import library wizard does not define any specific defines, since it is not really a compiler. So you have to define them. And they get adapted with each new LabVIEW version to support new compilers and compiler versions, so the defines described in the link in the first post do not have to be correct for cintools headers in newer LabVIEW versions.
All in all writing DLLs that interface to LabVIEW cintools headers should not be done by writing them and then importing them using the wizard but instead you should write the VI and create the Call Library Node, then let LabVIEW create a template C file from the context menu of the Call Library Node and copy that into your C sources and fill in the functions from there.
