Serious playback defect due to incorrect handling of album art

There is a serious issue with either the iPod firmware or the iTunes software that is causing erratic performance, skips in music, and, in a few rare instances, complete freezing of the iPod.
The issue either lies in how iTunes 'optimizes artwork' for the iPod, or in how the iPod reads and displays artwork from its database. Basically, the problem occurs when you select a song with album artwork and, for whatever reason, the iPod cannot handle the reading and displaying fast enough and it chokes momentarily, resulting in a very noticeable skip in the music playback.
This isn't all artwork, mind you - I see the problem more frequently with larger size and higher complexity pieces of artwork. I'm not sure why size and content are a factor, as the iTunes software supposedly 'optimizes artwork' to whatever extent is necessary so the iPod can utilize it properly, but there is definitely a correlation between the music skipping and the quality of the file.
For songs that also have lyrics, the iPod is brought completely to its knees. My 60GB 5G Video iPod consistently completely skips over songs with artwork and lyrics (if I select them, songs that are simply next in line on a playlist always play fine because there is more than enough time for them to be loaded into cache while the previous song plays).
I wasn't immediately sure what was causing these skips (both in music, and the complete skipping of songs) but on a whim I told the iPod not to display artwork - everything began to immediately work perfectly. Every song I tested loaded fine and played without a single skip, even the previous problem tracks with lyrics. Telling the iPod to display artwork again brought the problem right back full force.
I've restored the iPod numerous times, toggled display artwork on and off to force it to re-optimize near a dozen times now, and even this afternoon completely uninstalled iTunes, iPod software, and Quicktime from my computer, restarted, and reinstalled everything. I tried a friends computer the other day and same results every single time.
The problem was actually lessened by getting rid of all non-album art pictures - a lot fewer songs skipped, but some still did. Restoring the iPod and only putting ~10 tracks (10 of the really bad ones) produced unusual results - they all played fine. But then loading more tracks brought the problem back again (I have a 40 GB collection). Put pictures back on it and forget about it. So this leads me to believe that the iPod can't properly handle a large artwork database - long load times would be fine, but there must be something in the iPod's software that forces it to continue on after a certain amount of time has passed, whether it is ready or not, and that causes these skips.
This same exact problem plays out in the exact same way on a 60GB 4G Photo iPod - it's actually worse, probably because the newer 5G iPods have faster hardware that compensates a little better. I don't remember having these problems pre-iTunes 6 when I just had the 4G Photo iPod, but I never did a lot of testing. With the newest firmware and iTunes 6.0.2.23, both the 4G and 5G iPods are a mess.
Just for reference, all tracks I've been testing with are ripped directly from commercial CDs I own using Exact Audio Copy and LAME 3.97 - they all play flawlessly on the computer, in iTunes and other pieces of audio software, and they all play fine on the iPod when it is set not to display album artwork. My album artwork is normally ~500 x 500 pixels, and in JPEG format, so ~50-80 KB. So it is not insanely detailed, and iTunes is supposed to create all the proper sizes for use on the iPod so the iPod doesn't have to convert anything on the fly.

Good detective work....
Thanks for the heads up.
I just got a fifth gen Video 60g iPod and loaded my first tracts from my CD collection today.
After enjoying album art from my iTunes downloads I was a bit dissappointed my CD album art did not transfer with the selected CD tracks...but after reading your post...now I'm not so sure I want to struggle trying to get album art to transfer with my CD tracks...

The album art is incorrect on my ipod touch 4th gen. How do I fix this?

My refurbished ipod touch 4th generation 64GB is showing incorrect, wrong, mismatched album art. The album art shows correctly in itunes but incorrect on my ipod. At first, it only showed a few mismatched songs. Then I tried deleting the songs from the ipod and adding them back. Now ALL the songs in my library show mismatched album art. How do i fix this? Some people have suggested that this is a cache problem. Will a reset/restore fix this? What problems will I incur if i try to reset my ipod? Should I select "reset all settings" or "erase all content and settings"? Will I lose all my data? I don't really keep a lot of apps on my ipod so if i lose the data its not a big issue. I just want to know before I start down this path.

Try:
- Reset the iOS device. Nothing will be lost
Reset iOS device: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
- Unsync/delete all music and resync
- Reset all settings
Go to Settings > General > Reset and tap Reset All Settings.
All your preferences and settings are reset. Information (such as contacts and calendars) and media (such as songs and videos) aren’t affected.
- Restore from backup. See:
iOS: How to back up
- Restore to factory settings/new iOS device.

Still getting Display Error in PE8: "Display performance will be poor due to Incorrectly..."

I recently updated my OS from Windows Vista (32-Bit) to Windows 7 (64-Bit). When working with PE8 in Windows Vista, I would receive the following error (signified by a red X in the lower left hand corner of the screen) whenever opening an existing project or creating a new one "Display Performance will be poor due to incorrectly operating graphics card or driver!" To my consternation, I'm getting the same message after updating my OS with a CLEAN INSTALL of Window 7 64-bit. I have the latest, stable Nvidia card driver 196.21 and have installed the latest patch from Adobe 8.0.1. I'm interested to see if anyone is having this reoccurring GPU-incompatibility problem after installing the new patch.
Any solutions that don't involve simply turning off GPU playback are much appreciated.
As this is not a "workflow" problem I don't see the need in displaying an exhaustive list of all of my Computer assets. However, here are the basics.:
Computer: HP Pavillion M9150f
Processor: Intel Quad-Core Q6600 2.4 GHZ
Ram: 8 GB
Video Card: Nvidia GTS 250 1gb Ram, Latest WQHL Nvidia Driver 196.21
I have no other Video-Editing software installed, not even windows movie maker.
Any help with this problem would be much appreciated.

Adobe's silence on the issue leads one to believe they simply cant fix it.
That could well be a reason. However, if history is any indicator, Adobe is always tight-lipped about any plans, or works in progress, until they are ready for "prime time." Recently, a lot of podcasts and blog-spot pieces began appearing on changes in PrPro CS5. Many of these are directly related to GPU acceleration with certain nVidia cards, and a totally new render engine, Mercury. Still, other than some observations from select personnel, and a few demo videos, the complete details have not come forth. Also, there has been caution that Mercury might NOT make it into CS5. Only time will tell. So silence is not new from Adobe, and there could be various reasons for it, from re-coding being an impossible task to the patch/fix not being quite ready for release. PrPro CS4 got three significant updates, plus updates to Encore and AME. It was only about one week before those releases, that a single word hit the fora.
Good luck,
Hunt
HERE was the "sneak peak" on Mercury.
HERE is a thread on nVidia support for it.

PIRWBUSR - Locked due to incorrect logons

Hello,
after installation of XI 7.0 the user PIRWBUSR is locked due to incorrect logons. After unlock the user an set the password new in the XI (su01), SLD and in the Exchange Profile (com.sap.aii.rwb.serviceuser.pwd) the user is locked in the next minutes. Have somebody an idea, where i must change the password too?
Kind regards,
Markus

Hi Markus,
you can try the following actions:
- connect to http://<server>:<port>/useradmin, enter PIRWBUSER as logon name with the current password, and see if a password change is needed.
- if you are using ONE sld for two system, make sure that the 2 user (PIRWBUSER) have the same password.
Hope this help

Outbound queue locked due to incorrect password

Hi Gurus,
I'm having a problem to activate an Integration Model as I'm getting an error stating that the outbound queue is blocked due to incorrect password.
I have set up the RFC destination of the SCM ECC logical systems wit a valid user (I tested it). I've changed between using a Dialog user and a Communications Data user. Between every change I made I've cleaned the queue using transaction CFQ1.
Do you have an I idea of what I might be missing?
Many thanks,
Diego

Diego,
It is unclear to me which system you are experiencing the problem on. Either way, the reasons are usually the same. I will address establishing the ECC>SCM link. Works the same way in the other direction.
Every time I have had the problem you are experiencing, I usually find that the fault lies with me, not the system - I have made assumptions that were not correct.
BD54 ensure that your logical system name is what you think it is. Unless you are rigorous in your naming conventions, it is easy to become confused between logical names/hostnames/system names for SCM and ECC, ,
NDV2 ensure that the SCM system is properly identified
SM59 Make sure your IP address, or hostname is right. Make sure the system you are logging onto interactively is the one being accessed in SM59. Make sure you have the right userid. Password is casesensitive on some versions of R/3 and APO, but not casesensitive on others. I always use UPPERCASE text only for PWs, at least until everything is totally debugged.
From a technical standpoint, your RFC userid can be interactive or system, I always start with interactive until the intefaces are totally debugged. You auditors may have an opinion the final settings in the production system in this area..

User is getting locked due to incorrect password every few minutes SAPJSF

I have gone through solution manager configuration both as myself and as user solman_admin. Recently the Solution manager system was changed to enforce a more complex password scheme. After changing my password, my account is now getting locked every few minutes due to incorrect logon attempts. The System log states that user SAPJSF from Terminal <solution Manager host name> is attempting to login with my userID and is locking it. so far I have made every change I know to make to all the accounts on the JAVA side and to any and all background jobs that are running to remove my userID from these entries. My account still gets locked and I have no idea where to find what task or process is locking the account.
Any ideas would be greatly appreciated.

I have checked the audit log and it is not very helpful. Here are the results

User unlock due to Incorrect attempts

Hello Experts,
We are trying to implement a solution where password reset should also unlock users locked due to incorrect attempts in SAP. Is there a way in IDM to identify the lock type of a user
Best Regards,
Mohammed

Hi Mohammed,
Here is my solution, it works, but you will have to add additional task and script to check the status(as well, it will take longer).
Solution:
In your order task group 8. Set ABAP User password(SAP connectors) add additional task(as first task), that will read from SAP(read the islocked - flag(for user lock) and iswronglogon - flag(for password lock) from SAP) and store the data in some temporary table(sap_locked_temp_table....), as well when you are reading the data from SAP you can add a script to check the result and in case of SAP lock - islocked=L, to skip the next task(skip the password change for this system). Keep in mind that you will have to do this check for each system, so in your temporary table you have to keep not only the userid, but and the system in which the user is locked.
But if you want to unlock the password, without unlocking the user, it's not possible, as the flag iswronglogon doesn't work with ToSAP pass, you can only read it.
My solution works in case you want to unlock the password only if the user is unlocked.
BR,
Simona

Locked due to incorrect logons ! (Lock 130)

users are being locked due to incorrect logon attempts, but the usual lock type of 128 for this type of error is not happening.
these users are being locked with 130.
when trying to replicate the problem using a test user on the same system, the account is locked with 128.
any thoughts?

Thanks Wolfgang!
I have been curious for many months now and have also done some "advertising" with developers. All developers I know agree, but some would like to see it happen first...
We (over lunch etc) were speculating about the call stacks, repid etc and cprog were the main candidates.
Perhaps we were lost in the trees (and tables) and did not see the whole forest...
All people I respect consider this to be a step in the right direction, even if it creates some irritations...
I am sure that SDN can also help to sustainably overcome those irritations.
All the best for 2008 (and release ?) and thanks for all your insights and help to understand the system during 2007!
