It’s why I wrote it up in the first place. After all the headache’s I went through trying to track down a solution or workaround, I wanted to make sure others were able to find the solution/workaround.

I probably should write up better instructions so that it’s as easy as possible to follow.

I’ve had this Unable to Download problem so long that I’m at about 30 affected apps now, and it never fixed itself. Really appreciate it!

I tried a Google search for some of the specific text I was getting in those dialog boxes. I can’t remember if Google found the thread for me, or if I just went directly to Apple’s support forums and did the search.

I know the thread I linked to isn’t the first thread I looked at, but when I did find it, I knew it was the correct thread to read.

The link to the thread is in the post near the top.

Backing up and restoring your device will absolutely work. The problem is if you have a 32GB or 64GB device that is nearly full, it will take nearly a day to do that restore.

The reason for doing the above solution is to save you tons of time. I mean all you have to do is delete a database file and remove the folders in the Downloads folder then reboot your device. Done. Much easier than doing a full factory restore

I found that backing up and restoring from that backup solved the problem for me, but if it happens again I’ll try this.

]]> Comment on How-To: Use Custom Genre Art in iTunes 9 by Dave M. http://metzener.com/2009/09/15/how-to-use-custom-genre-art-in-itunes-9/#comment-1322 Sun, 29 Apr 2012 21:18:47 +0000 http://www.metzener.com/davemblog/?p=248#comment-1322 What you do depends heavily on what you are wanting to do.

If you are wanting to change the artwork of existing genre’s in the genres.plist file, you don’t change the “matchString” string, you only change the “resourceFile” string.

If you are adding a new genre to the list, meaning that the artwork in iTunes is either using the cover of an album for the genre or using the same artwork that was used in a different genre, you will want to change both the matchString and resourceFile strings, after copying the enter entry (<dict> to </dict>).

I just went through the steps myself adding a new genre called “podcast”. I copied an existing genre (folk) by using these lines of text:

<dict>
	<key>matchString</key><string>folk</string>
	<key>resourceFile</key><string>genre-folk.jpg</string>
</dict>

I then changed “folk” to podcast and “genre-folk.jpg” to genre-podcast.jpg (after pulling an image from that Flickr group mentioned in the post. So now the newly copied text looks like this:

<dict>
	<key>matchString</key><string>folk</string>
	<key>resourceFile</key><string>genre-folk.jpg</string>
</dict>
<dict>
	<key>matchString</key><string>podcast</string>
	<key>resourceFile</key><string>genre-podcast.jpg</string>
</dict>

Hopefully that helps you. If not, let me know and I’ll see what I can do to help.

So I leave the top line alone (from the 2 lines I copied) and change the name of the genre.jpg file only and then save? I did this and the artwork does not show up. Please help

You can change the ringtone of SMS Text messages.

If you enter Settings->Sounds, you will see Text Tone. This is the setting that will change the “default” text message ringtone.

I’m pretty sure that setting has been available since iOS 4.x, so unless you are sporting an original iPhone, you will find that setting.

Let me know if I can help out any further.

Its the same exact tone as the default text tone and its getting really annoying.

I’m glad to see it still works after all this time.
