Can I use album artist rather than Artist on my iPod160?

The Artist selection on the iPod has its problems as "Album Artist" is not always the same as "Artist". I know I can correct the Cover Flow problems with Artist View by use of the Sort Artist option but I do have a few questions.
I would rather display the Album Artist rather than Artist. Is this possible? I can do it in ITunes but cannot seem to do it on the iPod itself.
Also, is it possible to do mass changes on Sort Artist rather than hit "next", paste the change, etc. Everything I try to mass change, Sort Artist is not an option.

Hi,
Unfortunately, the 'album artist' field is ignored on the iPod (I hope it one day will be 'solved'). If you mark albums with multiple artists as 'compilation', the album artist in iPod coverflow is automatically set to 'various artists'. And I haven't found a way to mass-edit the sort fields either

HT1382 how do I organize iTunes in Album folders, rather than artist/album.

The way iTunes organizes my music is not very organized for me. I would like to organize all songs from an album into a single folder, rather than having the album folders present with artists folder. Is there any way I can change the way iTunes organizes the songs in my media library?
I tried to see if I can export a playlilst that is organized by Albums rathre than artists, but there seems to be no options.

iTunes has exactly one way to organize, and that is by artist/album.
If that is not what you prefer, then go into Preferences > Advanced, and make sure that "Keep..." and "Copy..." are both not checked. Then, for any new songs you plan to add to iTunes, put them in whatever folder you want them to be, and iTunes will be reference their current location, and will not move or change anything.
BTW, changing those settings will give you the correct handling of new additions, but will not change anything that is already in the library. Also, it does not affect any future items purchased from the iTunes Store.

Can I use AI functions rather than DAQ assistant?

Can I use AI config, AI start, etc. instead of DAQ assistant to read values from accelerometers connected via an A/D card?How do the AI functions work?Lastly will switching to AI functions result in a quicker program?
Cheers
Sam

Sam,
from your second point i take it that you are starting to browse examples. The device number (as numeric value) is a parameter you have to use when working with traditional DAQ. NI does not recommend to use traditional DAQ anymore except if there is no other solution (e.g. hardware which is not supported in DAQmx).
Since you already worked with the DAQ assistant, your hardware has to support DAQmx.... so you should look into the DAQmx examples.
Another hint:
You can exchange the DAQ assistant by DAQmx code simply by rightclicking on the assistant and select "Generate DAQmx Code". This will result in DAQmx code doing what you configured in the assistant (please note that the assistant is getting replaced, so it is not available on the blockdiagram after this). Study this code. As a general framework, this works out very good.
hope this helps,
Norbert

How can i move songs to my playlists using my iphone rather than computer?

How can I move songs to my playlist using my iphone rather than my computer?

@allamb & stephanW
I found this thread via a search, I have a new iphone 5 (also i am completely new to iphone, having been the last few years on android) and i have spent 20 minutes trying to figure out how to add a song to a playlist.
You see i sit a work and listen to dozens of tunes, and i want to add a paticular song to a particular play list, and low and behold I can't, excuse my special characters but "What the f#%k itunes/apple??? - how can this be? Such a commonly needed function and for itunes to be the number music player in the world not to have this feature is ludicrus.
I am lucky that i only have about 500 songs on my iphone thus far, i feel sorry for stephanW with 4000+ !!
Apple - please fix - this is schoolboy programming stuff...

How to set iPhoto to use yahoo webmail rather than mail.app

When emailing from within iPhoto using the email icon or via the share menu option in the task bar, mail.app launches. I prefer to use (Yahoo) webmail, rather than use an email client, so how do I change this setting?
Thx in advance.

Mansel
Simply: you can’t, I’m afraid. This feature requires an E-Mail Client that supports Apple Script. Yahoo Mail is a service (not an client) that’s accessed via a Web Browser and it’s not Apple Scriptable.
FYI:
There are many, many ways to access your files in iPhoto:
*For Users of 10.5 Only*
You can use any Open / Attach / Browse dialogue. On the left there's a Media heading, your pics can be accessed there. Apple-Click for selecting multiple pics.
Uploaded with plasq's Skitch!
You can access the Library from the New Message Window in Mail:
Uploaded with plasq's Skitch!
*For users of 10.4 and 10.5* ...
Many internet sites such as Flickr and SmugMug have plug-ins for accessing the iPhoto Library. If the site you want to use doesn’t then some, one or any of these will also work:
To upload to a site that does not have an iPhoto Export Plug-in the recommended way is to Select the Pic in the iPhoto Window and go File -> Export and export the pic to the desktop, then upload from there. After the upload you can trash the pic on the desktop. It's only a copy and your original is safe in iPhoto.
This is also true for emailing with Web-based services. However, if you're using Gmail you can use iPhoto2GMail
If you use Apple's Mail, Entourage, AOL or Eudora you can email from within iPhoto.
If you use a Cocoa-based Browser such as Safari, you can drag the pics from the iPhoto Window to the Attach window in the browser.
*If you want to access the files with iPhoto not running*:
Create a Media Browser using Automator (takes about 10 seconds) or use this free utility Karelia iMedia Browser
Other options include:
1. *Drag and Drop*: Drag a photo from the iPhoto Window to the desktop, there iPhoto will make a full-sized copy of the pic.
2. *File -> Export*: Select the files in the iPhoto Window and go File -> Export. The dialogue will give you various options, including altering the format, naming the files and changing the size. Again, producing a copy.
3. *Show File*: Right- (or Control-) Click on a pic and in the resulting dialogue choose 'Show File'. A Finder window will pop open with the file already selected.

Can iWeb publish with JPEGS rather than PNG?

Is there any way to make iWeb use only jpegs rather than PNG files when publishing? Also, I think a picture quality slider would be helpfull for compression and site size management... thanks

You can minimize the chances of iWeb converting your jpgs into PNGs if you pay attention to the following things...
1. Scale your jpgs to the resolution they are to be used...don't let iWeb do the scaling if possible (like dropping a photo in and then adjusting the size handles). Target your resolution and then drop the photo in and select "Use Original Size" in the Inspector Shape tab.
2. Do not apply effects to your jpgs....if you do, iWeb will automatically convert to PNG and the file size will be even bigger! These effects include drop shadows, rotation, frames, opacity changes, etc.
3. Be aware that in some templates, dropping a photo into iWeb automatically applies frames, drop shadows, and/or reflections. You can deselect these enhancements in the Inspector panel after dropping the photos in. If you don't, iWeb will convert to PNG.
4. Do not use the "Use image as background" option. Better to drag an exactly sized jpg photo into iWeb and push it to the very back layer than to use this option.
You are right, iWeb or at least iPhoto needs to have some sort of user control over jpg compression. I use another app for this purpose called "Downsize". On the plus side, it also lets me apply shadows and frames to photos and saves the finished image with effects and all as a jpg.

ThreadReaper object used with finalizer rather than finalizer on Timer?

Timer class has threadReaper object used with finalizer rather than finalizer on Timer itself, can anyone explain the following snippet. what is the advantage of keeping the finalize in its references rathe rthan in the original object itself.
     * This object causes the timer's task execution thread to exit
     * gracefully when there are no live references to the Timer object and no
     * tasks in the timer queue. It is used in preference to a finalizer on
     * Timer as such a finalizer would be susceptible to a subclass's
     * finalizer forgetting to call it.
    private Object threadReaper = new Object() {
        protected void finalize() throws Throwable {
            synchronized(queue) {
                thread.newTasksMayBeScheduled = false;
                queue.notify(); // In case queue is empty.
    };

Now I am getting something. If some-one subclass the Timer class and they forgot to call the finalize on the Timer... So they have done in this way. Thank u kayaman.Just in case you're interested, that pattern is called a 'finalizer guardian'. You may find it on Google.

How to tell AE CS6 to use bundled Mocha rather than Pro?

I recently upgraded my bundled Mocha from AE CS6 to Mocha Pro 4, but for some unknown reason, it won't let me export shape data in Mocha. There seems to be no data at all, as even trying to paste in Notepad results in nothing. Tracking data, however, works fine (both in AE and Notepad).
Since I cannot figure out any solution in Mocha, the only thing I can do is use bundled Mocha rather than Pro... but I do not know how to tell AE to use bundled Mocha rather than Pro when I click 'Track In Mocha' (...a setting which was changed when Pro was installed).
Does anyone know where/how I can switch it to Mocha bundled when you click on Track In Mocha? (or, does anyone have any idea why Pro would not export shape data, whereas the same project in bundled Mocha did?)
If anyone has any answers or theories, please let me know ASAP, as I have a project I'm trying to complete, and (as luck always has it) the weekend is now upon us, and support is closed over the weekend.

I tried connecting MBP and TC via Ethernet - after verifying the settings that you suggested - and it does not work: if I turn Airport off, Time Machine says it can't find the TC
Any other sugestions?
Ok, then ethernet is not getting an ip address from the TC and is plugged in wrongly..
You still didn't give me any idea of what actual model the linksys is.. and why is it in the network.. Is it a modem router?? If you have cable internet just throw it away and use the TC.
If you have the linksys as modem, then bridge it.. turn off wireless and run pppoe client on the TC.
If the ISP does not allow pppoe client mode then simply use the TC in bridge. Turn off all wireless in the linksys and just use the TC.
Still need info on how everything is setup to analyse the problem.

I have a separate apple id and my daughter bought a song using my ID rather than hers. Now I've got this song that I don't care for and have no use for. Is there a way to get it to her ID short of burning it on to CD and then uploading it to her phone?

I have a separate apple id and my daughter bought a song using my ID rather than hers. She was playing on my computer and bought it, thinking it would download to her phone through the cloud. Now I've got this song that I don't care for and have no use for. Is there a way to get it to her ID short of burning it on to CD and then uploading it to her phone?

sure pretty simple. make a backup of your current settings
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1766?viewlocale=en_US
then restore device from old backup you need pics off of
then import pics to computer
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4083
you may need to save pics to camera roll first
then restore the new backup and sync pics back to phone via itunes

Is there any way I can upgrade to version 6 rather than IOS7?

Is there any way I can upgrade to version 6 rather than IOS7?

No. iTunes and over the air updates work by detecting your hardware, and then only offer the latest available version of iOS compatible with that hardware. Older releases will simply not be available for hardware.

I want to be able to arrange the icons myself on the MC.
Unfortunately, I don't think this is possible. These are the only settings available for the Magic Canvas related to desktop icons:
Strangely enough, none of my desktop icons show up when this is enabled though

Is it possible to create a drop down menu using form fields rather than text?

Is it possible to create a drop down menu using form fields rather than text?

Yes, correct - values of form fields. If one is blank, then the field would be blank - yes? If two or more have the same value that is fine.
A standard dropdown ... As shown here. If there is an easier way to do this, I'd love to hear your suggestions. Thank you!
