Zombie artwork in iTunes 11 - cant replace with new

I made up an album for a party and gave it a random piece of artwork.
Now when I have disassembled the album iTunes insists on using that random artwork even though I have gone through the Get Info/Artwork process and deleted the old and replaced with new. I even deleted the tracks completely (both locally and cloud), rebooted iTunes and then replaced the tracks with different source material. Loe and behold next day the old art work is back and the new disappeared. Obviously lurking somewhere is the old artwork and it knows which tracks it used to "own" and iTunes "helpfully" corrects my attempts to change and puts the old back.
Any suggestions?

The exact same thing happened to me!
installed 11.1 on my 10.6 Intel MacBook Pro (2006). No issues.  Then suddenly I couldn't keep the program open.
After reading your description I was reminded that this started after I went through the settings & turned on the podcast sync. Now it keeps crashing & I can't keep it open long enough to check that option!
I've restarted, ran DiskWarrior on my computer & my external drive that holds the iTunes library.  It was open for a while so I could update apps, but the second I opened the podcast tab... CRASH & can't keep it open longer than 30 seconds.  Guess I'm gonna have to trash preferences or something 'cause this is getting crazy.

  • Library files files are replaced with new files

    Almost everyday, when i start iTunes my library files are replaced with new files & then i need to replce the new ones with my backup set

    There are a couple of recommended methods for using more than one iPod on a single computer. Method one is to have two Mac or Windows user accounts which by definition would give you two completely separate libraries. Each account has it's own iTunes folder, Library and iTunes Music folder and you load it with CDs etc just as you did with your original one.
    Method two is to set your preferences so that either one or both iPods get updated with only certain playlists within one library. Have a look at this article and see what you think and go for whichever you feel suits your needs best: How To Use Multiple iPods with One Computer
    Another option when using a single library is to set one or both of the iPods to manual update: Managing content manually on iPod
    Choosing the update option "automatically update selected playlists only" (called Sync Music - Selected playlists in iTunes 7) allows you to create a playlist specifically for each iPod and drag the tracks you want into it. If you tire of the list and want to change it, you just add or remove the songs you don't want. The ones you take out out remain in the library to be used by the other iPod. Make your playlist a Smart playlist and limit the size to just below the advertised capacity of your iPod ( for example, around 3700MB for a 4GB or 1800MB for a 2GB Mini or Nano). You can read more about playlists at these links:

  • I had my iphone 4 stolen, replaced with new iphone 4 had all my info that was on cloud downloaded to new phone.  Next day all that info dissappeared from new phone. Is there a way to recover info??

    I had my iphone 4 stolen, replaced with new one same day and downloaded info saved to the cloud.  The next day all that info disappeared and have not been able to get any of the old info back.  Is there a way to get this info.

    I think you will have to do a complete restore--you will lose any info added since last backup.  Connect phone to computer, select it in souce list.  Next, click on Summary tab, click Restore.  In the next dialog box, click Restore--your phone will be erased and the latest software will be installed.  Click agree to terms and phone will restart.  Then you will see the phone setup screen--click on Restore from Backup and select the most recent backup.  Obviously, this will only work if you have a backup on the computer.  If not, check Set up as New Phone, click continue, then wait for the process to finish.

  • How do I remove one failing hard drive from raid set and replace with new one

    Last Friday apparently one of my raid drives started failing.
    As I mentioned on this forum I started getting continous beeping.
    I was finally able to get the raid working at a degraded level.  I ordered a replacement hard drive which is arriving today.
    (In the meantime I made twice daily backups of my work.....)
    Below was the message I got from the browser based raid software:

    (See this earlier thread if you wish!)
    http://forums.adobe.com/thread/727867?tstart=0
    At one point when I did the checked the browser interface I saw the message Failed and Degraded
    As I said, I was able to work over the weekend on the degraded system.
    This morning I got the beeping again and did the rescue and now I am running a "full raid" without the notice that one raid was "Free".
    In any case, the new hard drive is arriving today.
    What steps should I take to incorporate the new drive into the raid system.
    I have one OS drive
    and 4 tb raid drives.   One needs to be replaced with the new one that I am getting today.
    Thanks

    Harm,
    Regarding your comment:
    Re: How do I remove one failing hard drive from raid set and replace with new one
    Please tell me how to read the serial number from an individual drive rather easily, without un-installing them:
    If you select the proper drive to change out, you only need to remove one drive and look at its serial number...
    Step 1: Identify bad drive serial number using Areca's tools
    Step 2: Turn off the computer
    Step 3: Remove what you think is the bad drive based on following your numbered cable method, marked hot-swap bays, whatever
    Step 4: Verify that the serial number matches the "bad drive" serial number from step 1; if it does great, proceed; if it does not match, go back to step 3
    Step 5: Change out the CORRECT drive - that's the bottom line for this whole procedure
    Cheers,
    Jim

  • ITunes does not launch with new User Account (Vista)

    One of my limited user accounts on Windows Vista because corrupt, so I created a new limited User Account and copied ALL of the files from the old to new.
    Now, when I try to launch itunes on the new user account, it will not open at all. Itunes works on my administrative account, with no problem.
    Can someone tell me the most pain-free way to resolve this issue. And, whatever solution, will I be at risk of losing my itunes libraries?
    Thank you in advance.

    Hiya. Delayed again. Browsers being cranky. (I blame the aftershocks.)
    It's actually plausible that it was installed in there (by doing a run as administrator on the installer itunes64setup.exe, perhaps). Because that suggests a possible cause for these continual permissions-related problems.
    A lot of what you're seeing is consistent with damaged ACLs (access control lists) on files, folders and registry keys. Although it's a lot rarer than it used to be, one of the ways you could get borked ACLs was if a program (like iTunes or QuickTime) was installed in one user account, and then the user account it had been installed in was deleted (or otherwise rendered unusable).
    We don't know which particular permissions are stuffed up here. But there's a shotgun approach to fixing them which used to work okay, although it's a bit fiddlier to do on a 64-bit system than a 32-bit system.
    I'd strongly recommend setting up a system restore point prior to doing this, so you can revert if things turn to custard.
    The basic technique you follow is from the following blog entry *with one important modification.*
    [Solving setup errors by using the SubInACL tool to repair file and registry permissions|http://blogs.msdn.com/b/astebner/archive/2006/09/04/solving-setup-e rrors-by-using-the-subinacl-tool-to-repair-file-and-registry-permissions.aspx]
    The modification is that when you're editing the file to replace YOURUSERNAME with the name of the account, edit the first line so that %ProgramFiles% instead says %ProgramFiles(x86)% and after the line that reads:
    *subinacl /subdirectories %programfiles%\ /grant=administrators=f /grant=system=f /grant=users=e >> %temp%\subinacl_output.txt*
    ... add another line saying:
    *subinacl /subdirectories %programfiles(x86)%\ /grant=administrators=f /grant=system=f /grant=users=e >> %temp%\subinacl_output.txt*
    (The first is to make sure the commands see the subinacl, because it installs in \Program Files (x86)\ on 64-bit systems, and the second alteration is to make sure that the permissions for the 32-bit program files are fixed too.
    After doing that (it'll take a while to run), can itunes launch normally in the new account?

  • Cant connect with new modem

    Im currently using the Versalink 327W modem and it works fine but it disconnects randomly lately.  I tried replacing the ethernet cable but it only recognizes the one I was using for some reason.  I decided to purchase the Westell 6100 on Ebay but I cant connect.  When I try opening internet explorer I get a log in page asking me to enter my isp email adress and phone number.
    I also tried using the GT704WG modem but I cant connect to it either.  All lights are fine except for the Internet light which turns Red.  Is there a reason I cant connect with a new modem, when my old modem works fine?

  • Songs/albums being replaced with new content

    Hi,
    I got a 120gb iPod Classic for Christmas and am just getting used to using it. The problem I have at the moment is that when I sync new songs/albums to the ipod, they are replacing what was already on it!! For instance, I had 2 albums by the one artist already on the ipod, and when I synced a 3rd album it simply replaced the 2 earlier albums! I have looked up the problem in the support manual but can't seem to get any info on it.
    Any help would be great.

    Well, the first question to ask is are you deleting the music from your iTunes library after syncing it to the iPod? You cannot do this and "sync" the iPod with new music without deleting the old.
    If you want to delete songs from your iTunes/computer hard drive after transferring them to the iPod, and for this you need to set your iPod to manage the iPod content manually.

  • Printer Share Migrations when SCCM DP is replaced with new name

    we are inprocess of replacing the remaining office servers which are SCCM 2012 SP1 DPs with replacement servers that are Svr 2012.  in the past when we did this for the 2003 server we were able to use printmig to create a script that the user only had
    to click once on a file and all the print shares were installed on the client system without them having to reinstall every print share manually.
    we tried using alias thru DNS with CNAME and IPs. outcome was the old name appeared as expected but unable to print. printer error was unable to connect to printer or printer offline.
    looking for an automated means with new printer migration tool for Svr 2012 or some other recognized Microsoft tool.
    Michael Pace Client Services Team Allegis Group, Inc.

    i need to clarify the question.
    it isn't the printer migration from one print server to another.
    the issue is our company does not want our users to always have to remapp their print shares everytime a office server is replaced.
    the only reason we have to do so now is that active 2003 is a DP for SCCM and the replacement server is also a DP with the print server function as the old server.  since the servers are active, and the swap out takes place within a several hour
    period, we have to change the name on the replacement server due to SCCM.  that is dilemma. 
    prior to sccm being in the picture, we would use printmig to export data and add that to a script that would with one click by user would reinstall all print shares on their system. (server 2003 and XP)
    all our attempts to use alias have failed.
    so we are looking for a similar method with do the same for the users as before but now we have win 7 with no admin rights and server 2012 r2.

  • Can't uninstall old player to replace with new Flash.

    Recently- i have tried to uninstall my old version of flash player with active x, to replace with the newer version- but when i try to uninstall it- it says i have to close down my internet- which i did, and then to close down something called "service manager" which i don't know what it is. I have internet explorer 9 and Vista Home Premium, which shouldn't cause any problems but it does.
    What should i do?

    Download the FP uninstaller from http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/141/tn_14157.html and save it to disk.  Close all browser windows (also any messengers), then run the downloaded uninstaller.
    If you still get any errors that you must close some applications, check with the Task Manager (Processes tab) what is running.

  • Need older STB's replaced with newer STB's without being changed $40 per box

    I've been a FIOS customer for more than 6 years and I just signed up for another 2 years and my prices increased through normal price hikes and the fact that I upgraded service.
    I have 1 multi room STB (6416) which is slow, hot, and doesnt have remote IR capabilty. My other 2 STB's are HD boxes and run very hot as well. I also cannot take advantage of expanding the capacity via eSATA since eSATA is not available.
    My number one priority is to get the Multi room DVR replaced with a newer energy efficient 7232-P2 without paying $40 dollar upgrade charge.
    Next I want my other 2 STB's repalced with 7100-P2. I think I pay over $500 dollars a year in STB rental fees for over 6 years. In my opinion I shouldn't have to pay for an upgrade.
    Can someone here help me? I've called into tech support and the only thing they do is send a command back to the boxes and tell me everything should be ok after it reboots/resets.
    All are running IMG 1.9 which was supposed to fix the slow channel delay/switching but that is not the case.
    If I cannot get these boxes replaced I will go ahead and cancel with my 30 day window.
    I have a local Verizon store that I would be more than happy to bring in my STB's and swap for the newer ones if that helps Verizon not have to charge me $40 dollars per STB
    Thanks in advance from a frustrated FIOS customer

    thatdood wrote:
    What is the $40 dollars forIf why pay $40 dollars and not get the latest models?
    I guess I'll just cancel and take my business elsewhere. it would be cheaper for Verizon to replace my boxes and waive the fee vs me canceling after having to send techs out to install everything.
    if you pay the 40 then you DEFINETELY get the latest 500 gb model.
    if you do the free option I Was trying to help you with, then it's up in the air.  you will definetely get newer but whether you get the newest would have been the question.    A lot of us feel the same way you do about the charge, but there's not much you can do other than fight it out with billing supervisors unfortunately
