HT1751 I have a new computer and wish to manage my music manually, if the music is not pop it does not know how to catagorise it, I have metal in classical and classical in alterntive punk.

How do I change from allowing itunes to manage my music to managing it manually. itunes has it scrambled.

In iTunes, the terms "classical," "alternative," and "punk" would be values for the genre field. 
If a song has an incorrect genre, right-click it in the library, Get Info, go to the Info tab, and type the correct value in the Genre field.  Then OK to save.

    It has always been very basic to always maintain a backup copy of your computer for just such an occasion.
    Use your backup copy to put everything back.
    If for some reason you have failed to backup, not good, then you can redownload some purchases in some countries.

    That pretty much eliminates all the user-serviceable parts the phone has.
    When you say you purchased a new battery, I'll assume that it included the installation and you did not go fiddling with the nanoscrews and such. So it's got to have some sort of warranty that the part is good and it is time to take it back for service.

    Hey skyshade13,
    Thanks for the question. The following article outlines how to restore a previous iTunes library should there be no content after updating. While the article does not speak specifically to your symptoms, attempting the steps by utilizing the "Previous iTunes Libraries" folder may resolve your issue.

    Try:
    - Reset the iOS device. Nothing will be lost
    Reset iOS device: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
    least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
    - Reset all settings If yu can see the screen enough to do it)
    Go to Settings > General > Reset and tap Reset All Settings.
    All your preferences and settings are reset. Information (such as contacts and calendars) and media (such as songs and videos) aren’t affected.
    - Restore from backup
    - Restore to factory settings/new iOS device.
    - Make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store since you have a hardware problem.

    Thanks, your advice prompted me to look at it again on itunes, and discovered that i have actually downloaded the full song instead of the ringtone. False alarm...and thank you!

  • Where are the actual Aperture files located? Only in the application? I am transitioning to Lightroom and would like to only move some of the files. Advice appreciated. Also anyone know how to transfer in with edits?

    Where are the actual Aperture files located? Only in the application? I am transitioning to Lightroom and would like to only move some of the files. Advice appreciated. Also anyone know how to transfer in with edits? Using iMac, OS X, most recent Aperture and Lightroom 5.7 with plugin for Aperture.

    Define "the Aperture files".
    Read this concise guide.
    The files you imported into an Aperture Library can be exported (at any time, and repeatedly) using the command "File ▹ Export ▹ Originals".  Your Originals are never altered.  What went in is what comes out.
    Adjustments and changes to the metadata that you made since creating an Image in Aperture by importing a file are saved to a text file.  This file is combined, on-the-fly, with the Original to create the Image that you see in Aperture.  There is no file saved to disk that is the full-size Image.  Thumbnails are saved, and Previews are saved.  These are JPG files, almost always smaller than the Original.  They are not substitutes for the Image for the use you have.
    When you need a file of an Image to use in another program, you export the Image from Aperture.  "Export" means "Make me a file of this Image according to these file specs I'm providing".  The way to get files of your adjusted Images is simple:  create them by exporting.  Specify "Original size", and use a loss-less image-file format (e.g. TIFF 16-bit) if you want to retain as much visual information as possible.
    Search the Web for information about transitioning from Aperture to Lightroom.  Note that I say "transitioning".  You cannot move a database from one format to another without significant changes, and likely some loss of information.  Adobe provides a tool and some instructions.  I strongly recommend working out the process step-by-step, and then proceeding with first a few Images, then a bushel-ful, and stopping to use the first few, the the bushel-ful, before committing your entire collection to the process.
    As always, never use any computer file without having a back-up.
    We have seen mixed reports here of the success of the LR tool that creates a LR database from your Aperture database.
    If you want to carefully define the process, and test and refine it, use the excellent process-development, analysis, and execution program inShort.
    Sadly, there is not and can never be a good, thorough re-positioning of the digital assets in your Aperture Library to become digital assets in a LR database.  Just as a metaphor for any user contemplating transitioning to another digital asset manager:  that would be like digging up a house in one country, planting it in a hole in another country, and expecting to be able to use the toilet and the sinks, turn on the lights, cook dinner, and sleep soundly.

  • Does anyone know how many devices one can have on one apple ID?

    Does anyone know how many devices one can have on one apple ID?

    The names are for your benefit. The devices are identified by serial number in iTunes. iTunes knows which device is which no matter what you name the devices. It works the same way with iCloud. You can name all three devices Fred - and iTunes can tell them apart - but like I said, you want to give them different names for your benefit.

  • I have an apple emac powerpc G4 which is running 10.3.9 software. I downloaded the 10.5 leopard software. Does anyone know how to install the 10.5 without using the dvd installer? In dummy terms please?

    The only way to get 10.5 is to purchase it on CD. Such as http://www.amazon.com/Mac-OS-Leopard-10-5-10-51/dp/B0012RAVRC where is being sold for $179.99.
    If your optical drive is broken, you will either need to replace it or get an external. There is no other way.
    Why do wish to upgrade? As you can see it is going to be expensive, probably more the Mac is worth.

  • Does anyone know how to change .mov to a supported file extension (and what extension would you suggest)? .mov works on Apperture 3.0 so I thought it would work on Final Cut Pro X....

    Does anyone know how to easily change a .mov file extension to one of the accepted Final Cut Pro X extensions?  I thought since .mov worked in Aperture 3.0 it should work on FCP X.  Thanks

    Hi Tom
    Thanks
    I am now doing some 1 minute import tests from various Q/T's
    They are all in the same place on an External 1 TB Western Digital - connected by Firewire 800
    I have just imported some 1 minute tests from  other Q/T 's and they have imported Ok - quickly imported and transcoded etc fine and quickly.
    Using your suggested methd of getting the details using Quicktime 7 Movie Inspector I can see NO DIFFERENCE in the formats!  In fact with four of these files open I can click on each in turn and see the Inspector details for each in turn - and only the name, size etc changes - not the format!
    I am really upset and confused by this as I have been trying for the last four days to get these imported.  I realise that this is small potatoes to those who are having problems with even FCP 7 Files!  But, these are q/t's of 30 hours worth of unique reserahc material I shot in Africa. I have made several programmes from this material before (one even shown on Discovery!)  I WAS hoping that I could use the new and all singing FCPX to make some new programmes for teaching purposes
    But, how can I do that if only some will import?  As I posted elsehwre - i get the message "No importable files"
    I am REALLY grateful for your expertise and advice here
    thanks

  • Installed Yosemite and now lost apps and also my App Store does not open. Does anybody know how to fix the problem?

    Some weeks ago, I installed OS X Yosemite, as shown on my App Store, that was a "System Update available for my IMac 2009". Followed all the steps, normally and installed it as I did many other times ago (with the Maverick, Mountain Lion, OS X).
    Just after the installation, I noticed that every single folder or program that depends on "Apple", stopped working.
    Examples: Office package opens normally, so as Firefox. But, IPhoto, ITunes, Safari and App Store itself do not.
    That is causing me fear, because even trying to reinstall Yosemite or return to the one I had before, using App Store became impossible. Even the "Apple Icon" on the top left corner does not work. I click, it flashes, just IF it was ready to open, but nothing happens, seams that have something stopping the "loading process" of the softwares.
    Does anybody know how to fix the problem, please?
    Thanks in advance. Regards.

    Thanks for your attention.
    I Tried before, but the Mac App Store was not responding either, and worse, after 5 years, There is no free phone support
    I ended up solving it by reinstaling the Yosemite pressing "comand + R"
    thanks anyway
    Regards

  • Hi, i have lost my camera and applications icons! I have syched my phone, which is what they told me at the phone shop, but they have not returned! Does anyone know how to get these back up?

    Hi, i have lost the camera and applications icons off my phone.  the phone shop told me to synch my phone on itunes, which i have done but they have not returned.  Could anyone plz help me?

    this is a follow up from the profane post earlier....
    i have done this twice in two other posts..
    here is my problem.. i started off trying to update itunes, it failed twice and said i needed to install manually via tools.
    the only place to get to tools is the pop up box that appears when you click check for updates.. if there is an available update then the pop up shows up with the quick time and itunes files to download. so i finally figured that out. i clicked on tools and manual update, four files were saved to a file. Apple mobile device support, another one similar, itunes, and another one i cant remember. I only downloaded the itunes file seeing as though thats all i needed to accomplish in the first place.
    so then i restarted my computer bc you need to reboot and then reopen itunes for update to take effect. once i have itunes back open i plugged in my new 5s which i am trying to sync to my computer to get all my stuff back bc i lost my previous phone over the weekend.. once i plugged the phone in an error stating i needed to unistall the apple mobile device support and itunes and then reinstall. well i dont know where those files were originally stored on my computer AND since my itunes was updated, just not the other 3 associated files, when i click check for updates it says its up to date and then pop up containing the quick time and itunes does not pop up thus i cant get back to the tools tab to manually save the 4 files again.
    so i was just going to uninstall itunes all together and then i thought well what happens if it erases all my photos apps songs etc... which would defeat the whole purpose in the first place of me trying to sync my new phone to get all my stuff back.
    so i literally have no idea what to do at this point.. if you have read this you are probably just as confused as me...
