When you are loading a CD in iTunes why does the artist scrolling jump around

With every version of itunes: While I am adding a CD into my iTunes Library, I like to scroll through the artists names and sometimes cleaning up my library. But everytime I am adding in a CD the arists names jump around. Basically if i am scrolling down the alpha order of artists in the left artists pane, unless I act really fast it jumps back to A at the very beginning. If if I am able to clik and highlight a particular name, sometimes it wont say and again jumps back to the top. All is well when I am not loading in music. This happens always and it seems that itunes cannot do multi things at once.
Anyone have a solutiuon or is it just a part of the application.

I don't believe that the album artwork will be retrieved. Songs purchased form the iTunes music store sometimes arrive with the album artwork if its available... but this is special a feature of the iTunes Music Store.
You can manually add album artwork to your library.
Just go into the online Help within iTunes, and search for 'art'.
You'll be shown detailed instructions on how to add your own artwork.

  • HT4137 When I back up my iPhone using iTunes, where does the information get stored?

    I have a problem. 
    I have an iPhone that has already been synced with an HP laptop.  This PC is now in need of repair but the price of repair was too costly so I bought a MacBook Pro to replace it.
    I would like to now sync my iPhone with my new MacBook using iTunes but when I attempt this I get a message stating that all the information in my iPhone will be replaced by all the information in iTunes (which is nothing).  I cannot afford to lose all the information in my iPhone but also I cannot update my iPhone using iTunes because it has not been paired with my new MacBook and I am told that it can only be paired with one computer at a time.  I cannot unpair it with my old PC because my old PC doesn't even boot up anymore.
    I was told that I could Backup the information in my iPhone by control clicking on the icon in the toolbar to the left of the iTunes screen which would then let me sync safely.  I have now done this but I still have nothing to show for this in the iTunes library (no music, photos, notes, contacts etc.) and I have no idea where this backup has been stored.
    Also in the help menu in iTunes it says that media files such as songs, videos and some photos AREN'T backed up but can be restored by syncing with iTunes (how is this possible to restore something that hasn't been backed up in the first place?).
    I am really stuck with this and hope that someone out there can help.
    Leigh

    The first step in the sync process is to create a backup.  On a mac this backup is located at
    ~/Library/Application Support/MobileSync/Backup.  The backup does not included iTunes media as it is assumed to be in the iTunes library you are syncing with.  Also, as you have discovered, when you first sync with a new iTunes library iTunes will erase all iTunes media on the phone (music, videos, etc.) and replace it with the media in the library you are syncing with.  Photos from Camera Roll (which are taken by the phone) are part of the backup.  Photos in Photo Library (which were synced to your phone from your computer) are not; again, because it is assumed they are already on your computer as that is how they were synced to your phone in the first place.
    What, exactly, is still on your phone at this point?

  • When trying to burn a cd in itunes, why does it says cd burner software not found?

    When trying to burn a cd, itunes says cd burner software not found.

    Could you post your diagnostics for us please?
    In iTunes, go "Help > Run Diagnostics". (If you're running iTunes 11.0.x you'll need to bring up your menu bar first to see the Help menu.) Uncheck the boxes other than DVD/CD tests, as per the following screenshot:
    ... and click "Next".
    When you get through to the final screen:
    ... click the "Copy to Clipboard" button and paste the diagnostics into a reply here. (Use your Ctrl-V keyboard shortcut to paste.)

  • When I add a song to my iphone, why does the song JUST go to the song section and not the artist?

    It never did this before but I added a song onto my iPhone and it's been on there for awhile, but I guess recently when I plugged in my iphone to my laptop and synced, the song was removed. When I readded the song, it went to the "Songs" portion and not the Artist as well. I mean the song is on my iPhone and that's good, but it's a hassle when I want to listen to it and I have to scroll through my library just to find it. Help?

    You have to have Automatic Download enabled.
    On the iPhone go to Settings > iTunes & App Stores > Enable Automatic Downloads for Music, Apps, and iBooks, also you can make the choice if it should download over cellular data.
    iTunes: Edit> Prefrences > Store > Enable Automatic Downloads.
    This is Apple's article on it.

    Did you backup to iTune or iCloud before you update to IOS 7?

  • When I change my meta data in iTunes why does it not get displayed in Sonos or MediaMonkey

    Hello,
    I noticed that when I change the meta data in iTunes for example by right clicking an album -> get info   and than change the Genre of the album and than click OK . It takes the changes in iTunes but I have a Sonos System and when I update my music library the changes are not being displayed . When I now put the album in MediaMonkey I also can not see the genre change . This used to work back in the days .
    Did iTunes change anything in regards to handling and saving meta data ? iTunes does not seem to save the information in the file anymore ?
    Thanks,
    A

    I solved my problem. Here's how:
    1. Right click iTunes and click properties from the "Windows 8 Desktop" (or if you want to call it the 7 desktop thats fine too)
    2. Select the compatibility tab.
    3. Set compatibility mode to Windows 7 and click apply.
    4. Open iTunes, sign into iTunes store, Turn on iTunes Match, Add your computer.
    5. Close Program
    6. Restart Computer

  • Hi, with mix16 pro app, can anyone tell me when you set different audio levels for different tracks, does the app remember the level set the next time you use it?  Or does it default to the original setting when you power down after a show?  Thanks!

    Hi
    I use backing tracks for some songs with a live band and we are having some issues with levels.  Some are higher than others etc.  I use i pad to run the tracks.  I am looking for an app that where I can control the levels better.  Ideally, an app where I can set the level of each track to a desired level and leave it at that level for good.  Mix16 Pro  seems to do that but I wonder does it save the setting as I do not want to set the levels every time I use it.
    Thanks

  • When taking a picture on an Iphone 5, why does the picture go back to the iphone 4 size?

    I was just wondering if the photo on an iPhone 5 was supposed to save as a smaller size like the size from and iPhone 4 or is there a way to change that?

    Do you mean number of pixels or that the photo is not widescreen like the screen?
    If the later then if the lense and optics are that ratio forcing it into widescreen would mean cutting away from the top and bottom of the image

  • WHY does the finder insist on rearranging the files in a folder in alphabetical order even when I have selected "none" in the preferences for file organization?

    WHY does the finder insist on rearranging the files and/or documents in a folder in alphabetical order even when I have selected "none" in the preferences for file organization? Even after I numbered the documents/folders to keep them in my preferred order, it will still displace them occasionally. This is becoming increasingly frustrating!
    Is this a "Pages" issue or "FInder"? The vast majority of documents I use are in Pages, but there are also Numbers, PDFs, jpegs and a few other applications involved. This never happened before I upgraded to Mountain Lion; in Tiger, the documents (mostly Appleworks) and files stayed where I wanted them to be.
    I am visually oriented, and prefer to arrange items in a folder in an order that makes them easier for me to access, which is often NOT alphabetical.
    Can anyone suggest a solution? Please??
    Thank you.
    Sara

    nbar,
    Thank you for your reply.
    However, I do not understand what you mean by "user account." I am the only user, and can find no options for "user" or "guest." The parental controls have always been off, as there are no other people who have access to my computer.
    Frank,
    Thank you for your reply.
    All my documents, files and folders are in icon view, Arranged By: none in both view and view options. This arbitrary rearranging does not happen all the time, only when I make a substantial change to one of the documents in the file or folder. I'm not sure what you mean by "column heading."
    MichaelLAX,
    Thank you for your reply.
    I know, to my sorrow, that Appleworks does not work with Mountain Lion. I spent at least three months converting approximately 2,000 Appleworks documents to Pages, Numbers, Bento (for databases) and Touchdraw (for drawings). So this is not the problem; but as I said, I did not have this rearranging problem with Appleworks - the icons stayed where I wanted them to be. I still miss the ease and reliability of Appleworks, darn it!
    Frank,
    Thank you for your second reply.
    I do have the Sort By: in view options as well as in view set to "none."   The finder still insists on rearranging, but only when I have made a substantial change to a document in that file or folder.
    Any futher thoughts?
    xdab, 
    Thank you for your reply.
    "Are you are using icon view, but for some reason the finder moves files around? is that the problem?"
    YES!! This is exactly the problem.
    "If this operation is successful then erase the original and rename the new one to the name originally chosen by the user."
    This seems like a lot of trouble, especially as I often work on several documents at the same time.
    "By the way, the finder has a "clean up by" menu that rearranges icons in one of the standard orders, there are shortcuts that produce the same effect, for example <option><cmd>1 sorts them by name. Is it possible that this shortcut was typed by mistake without you noticing?"
    I do know about this "clean up by" option, and avoid it like the plague! So I doubt this is the issue, and I infrequently use keyboard shortcuts like this anyway.
    Thanks all who replied. None of the suggestions seem to work, however. Any others out there?
    Regards,
    Sara

  • On i-pad, when try to enable itunes match, it says, "you are not currently subscribed to iTunes Match. Use iTunes on your computer to subscribe." I am subscribed though! Then it says no my request and item not available in the U.S. store. WWJD?

    On i-pad, when I try to enable itunes match, it says, "you are not currently subscribed to iTunes Match. Use iTunes on your computer to subscribe." I am subscribed though! Then it says no to my request and, "item not available in the U.S. store." My Mac will not use update iTunes to any later version than the one I have because my os is also out of date, but when I try to update that i cant, so what do I have to do?  Please don't tell me I have to buy a new Mac to be up to date.

    On the iOS device you must be logged into the store with the exact same Apple ID you used to originally purchase the service. Go to Setting > iTunes &amp; App Stores and if necessary sign out/in and then enable iTM.

  • HT2589 what is a security code when you are registering at the iTunes after you have put in your credit number

    What is the security code when you are registering in the iTunes Store just after you have put in your credit card number?

    It's the 3 or 4 digit code that is on the credit card, it's on the front of some cards, or others it's on the signature strip on the back : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT3541
