Changing itunes labels

I'm having trouble changing the labels of my music. It seems that only iTunes Store purchased content is affected by the issue im having, but any content i have that was NOT an itunes store purchase (but was instead say, a CD i imported myself) but is of the same artist as the itunes purchased content will be grouped together under the same incorrect labels as the purchased content. Lets use the example of my music for the band Linkin Park here.
I want to change all the labels to how i prefer them but for some reason i have the labels for artist, album artist etc as "Linkin Park" but when I search for the music on my iPhone after syncing up everything it comes up as "LINKIN PARK". Its the same issue with certain album names aswell. again using the example of Linkin Park, the albums "Living Things" and "Recharged" come up on my iPhone as "LIVING THINGS" and "RECHARGED" no matter what i do.
And, one album that i actually imported from a physical CD comes up on my iPhone again with the ALL CAPS artist name
How to i rectify this problem? I want it all sorted how I want it, not how Apple wants it!
Thanks in advance

There are different options available.
1. Set part of compilation setting to 'yes'
2. Fill in 'album artist' tag with a value. In this case Timbaland
3. Edit artist tags to remove other artist information.
If iTunes is set to organize library then this can be done before or after importing CD. If do any of these after importing then iTunes will rearrange files atomatically based on tag information.
Album artist tag information overrides artist tag information and stores files based on album artist. Compilation option stores album in compilation folder then folder for album.

  • How To:  Change iTunes media library location/folder

    *PLEASE READ THIS ENTIRE POST BEFORE ATTEMPTING THIS PROCESS. IT’S NOT ROCKET SCIENCE, BUT IT IS FAIRLY INVOLVED AND ENTAILS SOME RISK. THERE ARE SOME WARNINGS AT THE END.*
    ||
    REQUIREMENT
    Move iTunes media (music, videos, podcasts) to another folder and update the iTunes library to reference all the media from that new folder.
    ||
    Example cases: Move iTunes media from C:\ drive to D:\ drive; Change iTunes folder name from Music to Media.
    ||
    Note:
    Special action is only necessary if the +Keep iTunes Media folder organized+ option is not selected. If this option is selected, iTunes will move media to the new location when the +iTunes Media folder location+ is changed. More info can be found here: http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1449
    ||
    ||
    PROBLEM
    When the location of iTunes media files changes (files are moved, folder name/drive letter changes), iTunes cannot automatically locate these files. iTunes entries can be updated to point to the new location one at a time or by deleting all entries and re-adding all files. Updating one at a time is time consuming, and deleting and re-adding causes a large amount of metadata (play count, date added, rating, etc) to be lost.
    ||
    ||
    SOLUTION
    The iTunes library can be exported to an XML file, modified, and re-imported.
    ||
    Process:
    - *Backup the iTunes library data:* Make sure iTunes is closed, and then backup the folder containing all the iTunes library data. This can normally be found in +<user-folder>\My Music\iTunes+ for Windows, or in /Users/<username>/Music/iTunes for Mac. The +iTunes Media+ and +Mobile Applications+ folders can be excluded from the backup since they will not be affected by this process. If this process does not work for some reason and you need to restore the previous state of your iTunes library, you’ll need to use this backup as the source for restoring.
    - *Move iTunes media files to new location:* This may be changing which drive is used to store iTunes media files, renaming a folder, or whatever. This can be done for the whole library or for only part of it.
    - *Export the iTunes library:* In iTunes, select File -> Library -> Export Library... and save the file somewhere for editing (Desktop is a good location).
    - *Open Library.xml in a decent text editor:* Notepad is not recommended, since Library.xml can be very large. Some free options include PSPad, Notepad++, Smultron, and Text Wrangler.
    - *Update Library.xml:* Locate the files that have changed location and update their path accordingly. The XML file has the metadata for each file labeled with XML tags. The file location is denoted by <key>Location</key>. If the whole library is being moved, a find/replace on the whole file is recommended. Once a file is located in Library.xml that needs to be updated, copy the part of the string that has changed starting with <key>Location</key>. Use that as the find parameter, and enter the replace parameter in the same format. Include as much of the string as possible to prevent unintentional replaces. Save and close the file when done.
    - - - Example: Find: <key>Location</key><string>file://localhost/C:/Data/iTunes/
    Replace: <key>Location</key><string>file://localhost/D:/Data/iTunes/
    - - - Note 1: This step may require adjustment to match your situation. You may want to count how many files need to be updated and make sure that the find/replace only changes that many or edit them by hand if the location of all files have not been changed. It shouldn’t be difficult, but it may require some thought.
    - - - Note 2: Music, TV Shows, Movies, and Podcasts are stored in this file, so make sure to account for all media types. If the location of all types didn’t change, the find/replace strings will need to take that into account.
    - *Remove all modified media entries from iTunes:* For any of the files that are being moved, the associated metadata must be removed from iTunes to avoid having duplicates in iTunes. This can be done by selecting all entries in iTunes that will be modified, right-clicking the entries, and choosing “Delete”. After confirming that you want to remove the selected item from your iTunes library, make sure to choose to keep the file in the iTunes Media folder if prompted.
    - *Import Library.xml:* Import the modified Library.xml by selecting File -> Library -> Import Playlist... and selecting the modified Library.xml in the file open dialog that appears. Depending on the size of the iTunes Library, this could take a while (10 minutes or more).
    - *Test results:* Locate a file in iTunes that has been moved, right-click on the file, and choose “Get Info”. The “Location:” field should indicate the new location of the file. Close the Info dialog and try to play the file. If the file plays, the process was successful.

    _*DISCLAIMERS/ADDITIONAL NOTES*_
    - I tried this out a couple of times, and it worked fine for me. I can’t guarantee it will work for everyone, but I thought I’d share since I couldn’t find instructions for this situation anywhere else.
    - If the process fails, you SHOULD be able move the iTunes media files back to their old location and restore the backed up iTunes library data to the iTunes folder to restore your previous configuration.
    - I wouldn’t recommend attempting this if you don’t feel comfortable with backing up your iTunes library data and editing the XML file.
    - I don’t know if this process will preserve whether videos and podcasts have been played or if it will preserve the play position where items were last paused.
    - If you are moving all of your iTunes media files, you’ll want to update the “iTunes Media folder location” under the “Advanced” tab in preferences. This appears to be the folder that iTunes will use for some of its basic operations, such as storing synced audio notes, Podcasts, and the “Automatically Add to iTunes” folder.
    - This process duplicates playlists, probably because you are importing your entire library again. I just deleted the duplicates when I was done.

    If all the media is on one drive and you're not letting iTunes manage it then you can achieve the "portable" status simply by moving the library files high enough up the tree, i.e. the root of the drive if necessary, letting iTunes know where the nominal iTunes media folder is and then moving the library to the new drive keeping the relative paths from the library files to each distinct set of media folders unchanged. Personally I don't like iTunes cutting my file & folder names short, but the advantages of a portable library mean that I'm quite happy to organise my media inside the iTunes Media folder, albeit largly on my own terms. Indeed all my non-iTunes multimedia is now also organised in the same folders. The only media files iTunes organises, temporarlily, are rips & downloads apart from active Podcasts whose folder names I leave unchanged. Everything else gets sorted just the way I want it - full length filenames, different character replacements, folder art etc. I used to do it by hand, deleting, tweaking & reimporting, but these days I use a custom script which does it all automatically - renaming files just as I want and reconnecting iTunes to the newly moved file so that no iTunes-only metadata is lost.
    There are similar XML-editing how-tos elsewhere on the web, I just wanted to make the point that there may still sometimes be a way to achieve the desired result which isn't quite as complicated but nevertheless leaves the user fully in control of their file structure.
    Anyway, at least you took the trouble to find a method that works for you first. There are sadly too many tales of woe on these boards from people who've moved all their files around first only to discover that they've broken their libraries and can't work out how to undo the damage.

  • Changing the label of TOC to another language in Captivate 7

    I am using Captivate 7 and created a number of English Projects.  I have translated these English files to French (by exporting/importing captions), changed the voices, etc, etc.  All is now in French in the project except the title of the Table of Contents when enabled.  I have already changed the labels in the table of contents for things such as Slide Title, Duration, etc by creating the TOCStrings.ini file and copying it to my root folder - that works as described in other posts/blogs. However, I am unable to change the Heading/Label of "Table of Contents" to French. 
    Is the TOCStrings.ini file the place to change the label of Table of Contents to French?  If so, what string would I add to the file to make this change happen?
    Can someone please let me know where the change can be made (if not in the TOCStrings.ini) or if the change is even possible? 
    Thank you!

    If you enter data in the Info fields of the TOC, the indicator 'Table of Contents' will automatically be replaced by the Title field.

  • Changing the label of a field in SAP GUI

    Hello SAP Guys,
    I would like to change the label of a field in SAP GUI.
    I already did it internally because for that field the Shor Text of the label changed:
    I went to SE11, and wrote down the appropriate data element, through Translation I changed the entries of SCRTEXT_L, SCRTEXT_M and SCRTEXT_S and activated this change after saving.
    It is very strange that after making sure that the
    Short Text of that field was changed, I went to trx BP and I could see that the label didn´t change.
    I´ll appreciate any help you can give me,
    Regards,
    Efrain

    Hi Efrain,
    Can you tell me in which screen did you make the screen.
    Moreover the changes are not reflected immediately.
    What you can try is to create a new record of the transaction in which you changed the label and save the recore. After this try to close the session and reopen the transaction and this should work.
    The reason is the label on the screen are not picked up from the data element everytime but from buffer. So when you create a record this updates the database table entry and can also refresh the buffer.
    I had the same problem in BP transaction and the above solution worked.
    Let me know if this helps.

    Hi
    Is there a way to change the label of the column created by analytics when calculated row based totals? Currently, it is same as the measure label to be summed.
    Thanks

    Hi
    Thanks for your help, actually that option works for the total displayed as the latest row, I mean the label for the total row. However, for the total column, the name stays as the same as the measure label.

  • When printing mailing labels from Contacts how do I change the label size?

    I want to print mutliple labels from a group in Contacts. I can print 20 labels per page but I want to print 14. I have tried every option in the pop up window but nothing lets me change the label size, 

    Hi 786menzies,
    Welcome to the HP Support forums.  I understand that your print jobs from Photosmart 5520 seems very small.
    The font size is controlled by the software program that the document was created in, for example any Microsoft Word document that you send to the printer the font size would have been chosen in Microsoft Word.  I've included two different documents on how to change the print settings; one for Mac and one for Windows 8.  These documents will show you the process on changing print settings if not the actual steps as you may not be using one of the operating systems mentioned.

  • How to change a labels text which created at runtime?

    hi,
    i am creating label controls in runtime dynamically and adding them to a group component. this group component is in another custom component and i have lots of custom comp. in my app.
    my question is how can access (via id) and change a labels text whict created at runtime?
    i can change like this but i am setting id's and want to reach via id.
    var lbl:mx.controls.Label = mx.controls.Label(subMenu5.group_subMenu5.getElementAt(1));
    lbl.text = "good job";
    thank you, have a good day.

    First off, if you are already using a Spark Group, I would suggest you use a Spark Label instead of an MX Label. If you want to reference the Labels from the group, loop through the group's elements and check the if the element id matches the Label you want to assign text to.
    var lbl:Label;
    var n:int = myGroup.numElements;
    for (var i:int = 0; i < n; i++)
         lbl = myGroup.getElementAt(i) as Label;
         if (lbl && lbl.id == "myLabel")
              lbl.text = "newText";

  • How can I change the label of iCloud mail in Mail?

    I have an iPhone, where the iCloud account in mail is shown as "Name @ iCloud". I've just been setting up a new iPad Air 2 and there in Mail the label shows just as "iCloud". How can I change that label? I've been digging around but haven't found a way.

    Most of us just use names for the folders which seems to work fine unless you're not alphabetically inclined.
    It really doesn't make much difference who else may want a feature like that, it still isn't going to magically appear. If you wish to submit it as a feature request you can do so here: Feedback.
    There aqre third-party programs that may provide a similar function although not colors: DockStar and Mail Badger.

    Hi,
    it looks like you want to change the names of the partner functions.
    You can do this in the customizing, for example using SPROScenario Specific SettingsService Desk-Service Desk--Partner Determination Procedure (This one works for both ChaRM & Service Desk).
    The standard procedure in your case would be SDCR0001.
    The recommended way is to define your own Z partner functions and assign them to your own Z Partner Determination Procedure, which you have to replace in the configuration of your transaction type.

       example: when I enter on MM03..I select differents views(including Sales: Sales Org  2), later I specify  sales Org and distribution Channel (I need to specify this information for see these fields on this TAB Sales: Sales Org  2).
      When I access in tab: Sales: Sales Org  2, I can see one Group that it's called
    Material Groups that contain two fields called MVKE.MVGR1 AND MVKE.MVGR5... I saw in the screen these fields with the description from each field..example:  Material Group 1 (MVKE.MVGR1 )... I would like to know :

      I will give you points for your answer
    Alice

    Hi Alice,
    And do I need to change in this section too.... SPRO -> SAP Reference IMG -> Logistics general -> Material master -> configuring the material master -> ...
    If I need to add some values???
    After you made label changes on custom screen then you need to go configuration (Define Structure of Data Screens for Each Screen Sequence) to replace the standard SAP screen with custom screen. You can also do testing for custom subscreen as well.  Give it try.
    And how about If I move this screen??...is it dangerous??...or how can I know if this screen affect other section of programs?
    I do not understand your questions. Can you elaborate more?

  • How can i change the label of an array controller in the xib file

    I have seven instances of NSArrayController in my main xib file; they are all labled 'Array Controller' and I cannot change the label in the list of objects.  I can change the label in the identity inspector, but the label still remains 'Array Controller' in the list of objects.  If I double-click on the label that is in the list and change the label its value changes in the identity inspector when I tab out of the label field but the label reverts to 'Array Controller' in the list of objects.  I'll never be able to keep the seven controllers straight in my head.  Is there a solution?

    The problem is was in Xcode, while editing the xib file.  After many back and forth jumps (between Xcode and this composer for the discussion) and many attempts to relabel the array controllers over two hours, the changes have appeared just as I want.  I hate it when that happens (who likes egg on their face?)
    I'm sorry for wasting your time.  Thanks for your input.
