Serious Bug in iTunes

I have a library of 15000 tracks
I imported them using thefollowing method:
set preferences to Not copy tunes to itunes music folder
On an external disc Created a new folder and name it lossless and choose it as the itunes folder
Set encoding to lossless
After filling one 250GB drive I created a new folder called lossless 2 on a second drive and chose it as the itunes folder and continued importing.
Added another disc to hold a copy of the entire library in AAC format for ipod and streaming use.
In preferences created a new folder on the third disc and named it AAC and chose it as the itunes folder
Set encoding to AAC
Selected all previously imported lossless tracks
Converted selection to AAC (advanced menu)
I now had 15000 tracks in AAC format and 15000 identical tracks in lossless,
THINGS GET WEIRD
I created a smart playlist to contain Kind =AAC
When I selected some items in this playlist they instantly disappeared when I clicked on them. I looked for them in the full library list and they were now duplicate entries for the lossless version of the file.
I now set the itunes folder to Lossless again, in preparation for further rips, and changed the encoder setting to lossless.
itunes put up updating files message box for a few minutes
AND HERE IT ALL GOES WRONG!
I now have 10000 tracks in AAC format and 20000 in lossless
5000 tracks now appear as duplicated apple lossless tracks and the link to the correct AAC tracks is lost.
I empty the library by deleting all tracks
I reimport the 3 folders, 1 at a time using add to library.
I now have 15000 of each type again. All metadata and artwork is complete.
Any ideas what is going on?
Any Mac OS X (10.4.8) iTunes 7.01

I have just installed iTunes 6.0.2.23 and it crashes every time I connect to my iPOD. Tried rebooting computed, rebooting iPOD, re-installing iTunes, updating iPOD - nothing fixes this. Could erase iPOD but it is not a problem with the iPOD because a second iPOD does the same thing.
Any ideas? I would like to reinstall an older version of iTunes but where do I get it from?

Itunes with Podcasts - serious bug - cant delete

Hi all
Im using the latest version of Itunes with my 60gb ipod on XP, and ive noticed a serious bug where once you add podcasts to your ipod via itunes, you cant delete them in itunes at all - they stay grey even when the device is disconnected.
You try to highlight one and press delete, but its faded out. How do I resolve this?
Rodney

Hi Rodney, Welcome to the forums.
Ok, first off, is your iPod in automatic update?
Try putting it into manual update. Then you should be able to remove the podcast.

Serious BUG - Downloaded Movie Disappeared

I just purchased a movie, started watching it immediately, and a half hour into the movie I paused the movie. I returned to watch the move 30 minutes later, and it had completely disappeared And it was purchased less than two hours ago.
To continue watching it I have to rent it again. This is a serious bug. Has anyone experienced this before? Any fixes? I tried "Check Downloads" but it says there is nothing to download. How does one get a movie rental refund?

You should contact iTunes store support and explain what happened. They will probably either authorize you to download it again or give you a credit to use to rent it again.

Some songs don't sync in one smartlist (possible BUG of itunes)

Hi,
I have one smartlist with 200 songs in itunes. After I sync with my iphone and the same smartlist have 190 songs inside the phone.
The files listen ok in itunes and in the iphone (in other lists).
Can be a bug of itunes? Is not the first time that this success me.
Please, help! I don't know what I can do!
Thank you!
PS sorry for my poor english, I'm spanish speker.

I checked "Match only checked items" in smartlist and "Sync only checked songs and videos" in iphone menu. However the problem persist.
I discovered what is the problem. The problem arises when you use the "comment" tag in the SmartList. In other SmartList that do not use the "comment" tag this problem does not happen.
One way to fix this is to delete the album and then add it again to itunes:
1) delete the album that gives you problems with SmartList
2) sync iphone
3) add the album again.
4) sync iphone again.
5) Now the SmartList that uses the "comment" tag appear correctly on the smartlist in iphone.
And I insist that the SmartList in itunes always go well, it's just on the phone where don't work anytimes!
Incredible. I hope that apple will solve this bug. Besides, this does not happen with all the albums, only with some albums! So I have to watch each SmartList in iphone that the sync run well.
ahh what a horror! I have hundreds of lists!! I'll go crazy!

1080p download and playback bugs in iTunes 10.6 for Windows

There seems to be some bugs in iTunes 10.6 for Windows related to 1080p video. According to Apple, the minimum specs for viewing 1080p video on a PC is:
To play 1080p HD video on a PC, you need a 2.4GHz Intel Core 2 Duo or faster processor, 2GB of RAM, and an Intel GMA X4500HD, ATI Radeon HD, or NVIDIA GeForce 8300 GS or better graphics processor.
My PC exceeds these specs (Intel i5-2500K 3.3GHz CPU, 8GB of RAM, AMD Radeon 7970 video card, 30" Apple Cinema Display). The first bug appears when I go into the preferences setting and switch the download preference fom 720p to 1080p, which triggers a warning box that says:
This computer may not be able to play 1080p videos. You can still download these videos for use on other devices.
That's odd but I press "OK" and downloaded the 1080p copy of a TV episode. When I press play, another warning box popped up:
Video is too large. The 1080p version of [show] is too large to play on this computer. You can choose to play a smaller 720p version of this movie below. This message will be dismissed in XX seconds.
The message gives you three options: PLAY SMALLER VERSION / OK / CANCEL. If I select OK or simply let the timer run down, the 1080p video starts playing without any problems. Anyone else seeing this?

Oh that clarifies things, I see what you mean. The error message still confuses me because even your smaller Acer monitor matches the pixel resolution of the 1080p video - the video doesn't exceed the monitor's pixel ratio so it's not technically "too large" as the error message says. The 1080p video should fill your Acer monitor edge to edge while leaving black borders on the top and bottom of your Samsung. I think this is clearly a bug in iTunes.
I know what you mean about the movie opening up so that a portion of the image is off the screen but that sounds like an issue related to the default position of the window when you start a video. The default position is such that a smaller size like the SD copy probably isn't cut off but that a larger video does get chopped until you change where videos open by default. I can change the position simply closing the video while it's playing. iTunes remembers the place on the screen where I closed the video and opens all videos at the spot afterwards. Does that not work for you?

We have had this issue many, many times before including on the latest 3.6 rev. It appears that when the applicationCache has an update triggered by a new manifest file, the browser may still use only its local network cache to check for updates to the files in the manifest, instead of forcing an HTTP request and revalidating both the browser cache and the applicationCache versions of the cached file (seems there is more than one). I have to assume this is a browser bug, as one should not have to frig with server Cache-Control headers and such to get this to work as expected (and even then it still doesn't sometimes).
The only thing that seems to fix the problem is setting network.http.use-cache to false (default is true) in about:config . This helps my case because we only ever run offline (applicationCache driven) apps in the affected browser (our managed mobile apps platform), but it will otherwise slow down your browser experience considerably.

WARNING: Serious bug in Netscape 6.01 browser

All--
I've just been bitten by a serious bug in the Netscape 6.01 browser, and
want to let you know about it before it bites you too. Full bug details can
be found at http://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=55055
A short summary is that the back & forward buttons incorrectly resubmit form
fields. For example, say I have this page flow:
Page A -> Page B - (submit form) -> Page A -> Page C
Use Back button to go from C back to A
On backing up from C to A, Netscape tells me that there are posted form
elements and asks if I want to resubmit them or cancel the back action.
Because I'm backing up to A, it tries to resubmit the form fields from page
B in order to show page A!
What does this mean? It means that the Web application gets another hit to
page B, as if the user had pushed a button on it again--even if this isn't
allowed by the application. In other words, the back button becomes a
serious threat to an application's consistency. Neither IE nor Opera do
this, nor did any other version of Netscape.
Please keep this behavior in mind if you are designing an application that
could be used with Netscape 6. For those transactions that you need to
ensure aren't executed more than once, you may want to set a hidden field on
the page (page B) or otherwise keep track of a value that indicates whether
the transaction has been executed or not. Another option might be to set an
HTTP header indicating that the problematic page (page A) can't be cached by
the browser (this differs from what one might do in the "normal" situation
of telling the browser not to cache page B, so that backing up from page A
to B wouldn't be possible).

Bug in iTunes 9.0 Sound Check ?

In iTunes 8.x when you add a new song to iTunes (with Sound Check enabled)
iTunes adjusts or adds the "normalization information" ID3 tag for the song.
iTunes 9.0 doesn't do this anymore.
Is this a bug in iTunes 9.0.0.70 ?
Ps: Programs like iVolume rely on this info.
Edit: 10/09 16:09

See this -> Don’t Panic
"Yesterday (09/09/09, by the way) Apple released iTunes 9. Unfortunately it has a nasty bug that prevents iVolume from analyzing songs that have been imported from a file. All other songs – that is purchased, ripped or converted songs – will still be processed fine by iVolume.
We put highest priority on this issue. All other projects have been interrupted in order to restore full compatibility with iTunes 9 as soon as possible. We already found a solution and are currently busy implementing it. Things look good so far.
So please be patient, a new version of iVolume will be released very soon"

Serious bugs in the SR400 gated photon counter LabVIEW drivers

Hi
I am developing an application with SR400 and came
across what I think is a bug in the LabVIEW driver. Essentially, none
of the VI's allow you to set the preset counters. For instance, if you
call Read VI and choose mode A, B for preset T, there is no way to
specify preset T, which means that the count period defaults to some
factory default, not a situation you want. This might also explain some
of the timeouts some people are getting to SRQs that come later.
Further,
if you look at the block diagram of Read VI, the line selector string
is set to "CM 0" for two distinct choices of the count mode. This is a
serious bug. I do not know who wrote this driver, but it does seem, at
least to me, that they did a rather shoddy job of it. How this driver even got certification to be posted at IDN is something I cannot explain.
Comments welcome from those that use LabVIEW with SR400 and have used this driver.

Hi. Dwell time of 2ms is good for me. It would be great if you can send me this file to circumvent the 2000points/measurement. Also, If i understand it right, if I set the Gate to CW, then my gate should always be open for the count period, they why do I have to set the gate parameters at all. I want to change the integration time, but for some reason I am not able to change it in your setup 2.VI at all. I made some changes in setup 2.vi. I removed the setting for channel B as I am not going to use it and I integrated the readchannel.vi into this file. I am not sure if I made a mistake in doing this. Now, I am able to write some data to a file, but I not as I want. If it helps, I am uploading my modified VI file and an example data file (Gate A width is 0.992s, Gate A delay and delay step are 0, Gate A mode is CW, Dwell time is 0.002s).

MAJOR Cover Art bugs in iTunes 7.x.x

Here are some interesting observations in discovering MAJOR Cover Art bugs in iTunes 7.x.x
1. Importing CDs
If you import a CD, you must wait for complete import to finish in hopes that all songs will populate successfully with cover art. Even here, success is random.
If you request cover art during the import, there are mixed results.
iTunes should be smart enough to detect if any album exists with partial cover art in the library database, then those tracks with missing cover art will be automatically detected and updated.
2. Missing Cover Art
This occurs on 2 levels:
a. iTunes Store may just not have cover art for some (older) albums
b. iTunes Store does find the cover art, but it is not applied to *all tracks* on the album
The workarounds bring mixed results.
I have resorted to the "Get Info" approach and pasted cover art to random album tracks where cover art was only partly applied by iTunes.
In other cases, I scanned in the CD cover and applied it to albums where iTunes found no cover art. I assumed this would be a one-time fix as I expected some minimal tweaking would be involved in managing cover art.
No such luck! Here is why iTunes cover art represents a MAJOR bug in version 7.x.x
Day 1: I spend many hours tweaking and fine-tuning the cover art, assuming iTunes will "save" all my work. I browse different albums/tracks and everything looks great!
Day 2: Looks like iTunes only "saved" some of this effort. Sure enough, certain complete albums and random tracks from other albums now show NO cover art! How frustrating!
* * * Here is what is MORE DISTURBING about this Cover Art bug! * * *
I resort to thinking about more workarounds, and here are the results:
Hmmmm. Looks like if I paste in the Cover Art twice on certain album tracks, the Cover Art is now applied to that track. Meaning, if you do a "Get Info" on a track, you will see two pastes in the Cover Art tab, yes, you add the cover art twice, one cover next to the other so as to force that album track to get the cover art to attach. On the surface, this seemed to work, and all album tracks now seem populated with Cover Art and the effort appears "saved" when I revisit the album on Day 2.
But all is not what it appears. The trick of adding missing cover art twice, in the hopes that an album and/or certain random album tracks might adopting the cover art you are trying to assign will produce the following:
IT ACTUALLY AFFECTS THE AUDIO TRACK!!!!
Multiple attempts to add/fix cover art will ADD TO TRACK DURATION, such that when you play a track, the lead-in portion of the lyrics (say first 10 secs or so) will REPEAT in as many times as you tried to add the cover art!!!!
Thinking this might be a corrupt library database, I even deleted the database, started over, and while adding missing cover art, was able to reproduce the lyrics repeating on those tracks where the cover art was added (pasted) twice. You can HEAR and see the increased track duration in iTunes 7.x.x
MAJOR Cover Art bug!!! So you are not alone. And besides all the wasted hours trying to fix this, I say wait for iTunes 8.x
Please post and let me know if you have had the same experience with this cover art bug and similar workarounds.
C'mon Apple! PLEASE FIX THIS. What gives?

You can tell iTunes to "Clear Downloaded Artwork" to get rid of the wrong image.
Getting iTunes to select the correct image, especially for compilations can be quite frustrating. I've been slowly cleaning up some old artwork from when iTunes could not pull artwork from the iTunes Store for music from other sources. I've learned to check the album in question by using the iTunes Store link in iTunes - I figure if it goes right the the album I'm all set - Wrong! Today I'm doing battle with a bunch of "20th Century Masters - The Millennium Collection" albums. I can go through the album song by song and every one goes right to the correct album - but when I "Get Album Artwork" it still may not find the album or will pull in volume 2 instead of volume 1, etc. I've tried making sure my albums names are exact matches to the iTunes store with the same bad results.
It really seems like iTunes uses a different search method for artwork than for the iTunes Store link. At least Google has an image search...

Serious Bug Powerbuilder 12.5.2 build 5609 with Inheritance

Hi ,
I'm using Powerbuilder 12.5.2. build 5609. I think it is the latest release. I have three windows in my app.
The Grandfather , the father and the child. Child window (w_child) is inherited from the father (w_father) which inherits from the grandfather (w_grandfather).
I have some events in my windows , clicked events with code etc.
I made a change in the grandfather , regenerated the father and the child and my code in the child window was messed up!. And when I say messed up I mean that the code in my clicked event was disappeared or moved in other cases to other events.
With Full build and incremental build didn't fix the bug.
Using export and import FIXED the issue.
BUT.....
Why is this happening ? Of course this is a Powerbuilder BUG but do I need to export and import my objects when I make a change to ancestors objects ?
FYI using the edit source option I can see the code that it's there.
Will this issue been fixed because this is a very serious BUG. Every time I want to make a change to ancestors should I need to export all objects and import them again ???
thank you
zkar

Hi Andreas ,
I don't know.
But I tried the below scenario and found a different bug.
Same hierarchy. Grandfather, Father and Child.
Steps to reproduce.
1. Go to Fathers screen and Add a button. Leave the name as it is. cb_1
2. Go to Grandfather and add a button(didn't have any buttons yet). The name will be cb_1.
If you try to open the Father's screen you will be prompted from Powebuilder with a messagebox which suggest to make the changes for you because there was a name conflict. OK fair enough.
But.
If you press OK and let powerbuilder handles this then this doesn't work.
Anyway. This is a completely different thing from the original post . But I have just founded out trying to reproduce it to a new application.
FYI. The application was at first in Powerbuilder 10 but we have Migrated succesfully to powerbuilder 12.5 and It was working fine until we ;ve changed the intermediate level of inheritance.
The solution to my problem is export and import the intermediate level so don't search anymore. You will loose time trying to reproduce it.
thank you

Minor GUI bug in iTunes?

When displaying Movies in iTunes, if there's a name listed in the Artist field, that name also appears under the movie's artwork and title in the Artwork column. The TV Shows window doesn't work that way at all. Unless somebody can tell me what I'm doing wrong, I'll post this as a bug in iTunes.
