I've never seen it take *one* minute. Have you tested to make sure you have a good connection to the net when this takes place? Do you have the latest version of iTunes (currently at v7.5)? ------------ Michael Prete More will be revealed.

Delete your "~/Library/Preferences/ com.apple.iTunes.plist". (You may want to just "Compress" it with the right-click command and then delete it. you can then recover the original if needed) Turn off the Import selection to get song names from the internet. Quit iTunes. Turn it back on a gain. Make sure you don't have some sort of firewall up. Start there. If not. Download iTunes from Apple and reinstall it. It won't mess with your library at all. ray From becca_price at yahoo.com Fri Dec 21 08:26:21 2007 From: becca_price at yahoo.com (Becca Price) Date: Fri Dec 21 08:26:29 2007 Subject: [iTunes] Querying Gracenote CDDB In-Reply-To: Message-ID: <742165.58205.qm@web39602.mail.mud.yahoo.com> --- Jamie Kahn Genet wrote: > It shouldn't take more than a few seconds for a result to be > returned, > even if the result is nothing.

I didn't think we had nannyware on our ISP, but given the problems they've given us in the past, it wouldn't surprise me. If we download too much in a 24-hour period (like my Friday science podcasts!) the ISP decides that I'm either uploading a virus or downloading illegal files, and cuts us back to dialup speed for 24 hours. It's a real pain, and I understand there have been a lot of complaints about the low level they've set for this... we can't look at any videos, for example, without this "feature" cutting in. -becca ____________________________________________________________________________________ Looking for last minute shopping deals?

This is the only site I've ever tried to access that I've had trouble with. and since it doesn't get cover illustrations (thanks for that information, Kirk!), it's no big deal, just a minor annoyance.

Ironically, they're giving their subscribers a strong reason to go somewhere else, once an alternative is available. Not a good business model, in my view. For iTunes, I've found a simple way around it -- I download my podcasts and videos late at night, when very few people are on. The downloads then come in at full bandwidth instead of being cut back. Or you do what we all did with dialup -- start a download and go have a full-course meal, read the newspaper or watch a movie. The big problem with this approach is time-outs (as it was with dial-up).

I'll try your idea of downloading the podcasts at night, but isn't it a matter of how much the download slug is as opposed to when you do it?

In iTunes, under the Advanced menu, there's the option to grab Album cover art for your music library. Should work for CDs you have ripped yourself, as well as music you purchase from the iTunes Music Store. The album cover art is used when you display your music in Cover Flow. If you have a large music collection, it will take some time to grab the album art. You could do it incrementally, a few albums at a time. In some cases, the iTunes Music Store will not have the cover art.

If iTunes has the album, or any of the tracks from the album, for sale it will download the album art even if you ripped the album from one of your own CDs. You don't have to buy anything just sign up for an account. If your album is not for sale on iTunes you might look for a website that sells the album. They will generally have a picture of the album cover. In iTunes select the songs that make up the album and select "Get Info" under the File menu. Drag the picture from the website to the artwork square. I have been thinking of your Gracenote problem. I believe that Gracenote looks at the number of tracks and the track lengths to identify your CD. If you have a CD issued in another country it may have the same name and songs, but one of the songs may be slightly different as to length. This will stop Gracenote from identifying the CD.

Message-ID: <0D502A7D-FBC4-488A-AD35-670E2A6B2388@cox.net> I'm not clear exactly what happens (or is supposed to happen) when I select "Sync Selected Email Accounts" under the "Info" tab. I understand that when I sync contacts or calendars, that new info from either iPhone or iMac relating to Addresses or Calendar Events is exchanged so that both units have the same info. But what changes in the Email Accounts? It seems that if I download, read and delete email on my iPhone, it doesn't affect what happens on my iMac. I think I download, read and must delete the exact same items again on the iMac. So what syncs? I'm still unable to avoid this repetitious handling the same mail items on iPhone and iMac, regardless of mail settings. I currently have the settings in Mail on iPhone (for POP accounts) set so that under Advanced settings, Deleted Messages are "Removed After One Day" and under Incoming Settings, Delete from Server is set to "When removed from Inbox." For my two IMAP accounts under the Advanced settings/ Mailbox Behaviors, Deleted Mailbox is set to "Deleted Messages" and Advanced settings/Deleted Messages is set to "After one day". Can someone offer insights or point to a good explanation? ------------ Michael Prete More will be revealed.

Actually, being on a PC messes it up for you. (Put down your flame- throwers, just kidding). However, the procedure is still the same. You have to navigate to a website that has the album art you are looking for. You have to download the picture (if it is downloadable) and save it somewhere on your computer. Then you have to move it to the correct place on iTunes. While the details might be slightly different, the processes are the same. Just because some bloke has a right-hand drive Jaguar instead of a left-hand drive Chevy truck, I can still tell him how to find the gas station and he still has to drive over same roads to get there. ------------ Michael Prete More will be revealed.

I understand that when I sync contacts or calendars, that new info from either iPhone or iMac relating to Addresses or Calendar Events is exchanged so that both units have the same info. But what changes in the Email Accounts? It seems that if I download, read and delete email on my iPhone, it doesn't affect what happens on my iMac. I think I download, read and must delete the exact same items again on the iMac. So what syncs?I'm still unable to avoid this repetitious handling the same mail items on iPhone and iMac, regardless of mail settings. I currently have the settings in Mail on iPhone (for POP accounts) set so that under Advanced settings, Deleted Messages are "Removed After One Day" and under Incoming Settings, Delete from Server is set to "When removed from Inbox." For my two IMAP accounts under the Advanced settings/ Mailbox Behaviors, Deleted Mailbox is set to "Deleted Messages" and Advanced settings/Deleted Messages is set to "After one day".Can someone offer insights or point to a good explanation?------------Michael PreteMore will be revealed._______________________________________________iTunes mailing listiTunes@listserver.themacintoshguy.comhttp://listserver.themacintoshguy.com/mailman/listinfo/itunes _______________________________________________ Join Excite! - http://www.excite.com The most personalized portal on the Web! -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

I can't see how it accomplishes anything. > I will tell you this, I would change my email preferences on my > computer or my phone to not keep duplicate emails. I was under the impression that I had. What do you suggest that is different from my current settings? ------------ Michael Prete More will be revealed.

I did find the "get album art" option under the Advanced menu in the iTunes store - that got some of the cover art, but not all of it. If I find my own graphic for cover art, how do I get it into iTunes? how do I associate it with the specific piece(s) that I want it associated with? (can I do this with book covers, so instead of the gray box with musical notes on it in my audiobook playlists, I get the book cover art?) btw, Kirk, the trick with play count = 0 is wonderful, and works just fine, Thank you for telling me about it, and for your patience in helping me find that setting.

Better to do a get info on the songs in question and add the artwork there. Just click inside the artwork frame and paste the image in (after having copied it from an Amazon webpage, for example), or drag and drop it in.

Recently I purchased TV Season 1 of Stargate SG-1, logged into the iTunes store to download the episodes to my PowerBook G4/1.67 running iTunes 7.5 under Mac OS X 10.4.11, and left the downloads running overnight. When I returned in the morning I found all the episode downloads complete but multiple episodes were being re-downloaded, filling up my hard drive. I was unable to cancel individual redundant downloads or delete the extras from within iTunes and had to quit iTunes with downloads in progress. I deleted the redundant files in the Finder, performed my usual maintenance operations with AppleJack, restarted, and launched iTunes which immediately began duplicate downloads once again. I then tried moving my iTunes plists to another location and re-launched iTunes which immediately resumed duplicate downloads. I suspect that this problem is at least partly an iTunes Store problem. When I launch iTunes on my PB/G4, it apparently checks the Store for purchases to download, something may not been set to indicate that the Stargate SG-1 Season 1 episodes have already been downloaded, and downloading begins again. The net result is I cannot leave iTunes open thus cannot listen to music or watch the downloaded TV episodes. I submitted an online problem report to the iTunes Store support team but their response was that that they only deal with purchase issues and suggested that I look elsewhere for technical answers. Note that I had previously purchased Stargate SG-1 Season 10 and iTunes downloaded the relevant episodes once. I also purchased Stargate Atlantis Season 4 (current) and download each new episode when made available after broadcast. - Maretta
