Album download relabels itself and splits itself into two separate album folders

I have purchased and downloaded an album from a reputable and legal independent website that I have successfully used in the past, but the album folder seems to have a glitch.
When I download the album it labels itself "Standard" instead of by the name of the album title, like it usually does. Then when I add it to my iTunes library, it relabels itself to the album name and subsequently splits itself into two separate album folders. 9 random tracks located in one folder, 13 in the other. The only difference between the labels of the two album folders is that one has an underscore at the end of it. I have exhausted all my trouble shooting tricks like ensuring all the common metadata is the same (artist, album, sorting, grouping, genre, playlist etc) and deleting and re-downloading, and subsequently copying and pasting files into the correct place but the same thing keeps happening.
I have downloaded all the latest software updates on my iMac 10.10.1 and use OS X Yosemite. I have tried clearing my cache, cookies and webpage history and then downloading again using a completely different browser without success. I've even tried dragging and dropping files from one folder into the other, again without success. I would be grateful for any expert advice.

It's a bug that has been there for years.
There are workarounds, but you have to do them every time an album gets split. And that will happen every time you change an artist name or an album name (whether it's to change it to proper capitalization, or other reasons). There is no permanent solution.
Workaround #1:
1. Select all the tracks from the album
2. Right click and select "Get Info"
3. Change the album name by deleting, let's say, the last letter and press "OK"
4. Change the album name back.
Workaround #2:
1. Select all the tracks from the album
2. Right click and select "Get Info"
3. Change the artist name by deleting, let's say, the last letter and press "OK"
4. Change the artist name back.
Workaround #3:
1. Select all the tracks from the album
2. Right click and select "Get Info"
3. Go to "Options"
4. Check (or uncheck, if it's already check) the "Part of a compilation" box and press "OK"
P.S. Some smart person moved this thread from the "iTunes U" forum to the "iTunes for Mac" forum. But the OP clearly said he runs iTunes on Windows.

Loading File name and file contents into two separate tables using Sqlloadr

Hi All,
I have situtation like to load File contents into One table and File name into one table . File comes with .txt extension
Example :
File name : product_09_abc.txt
File contents :
Productcode
ABC
CDE
EFT
Can you please help me out this how can we acheive this using SQLLOADER.

SQL*Loader will not pass through the filename for you to be able to insert into a table.
You will need to have a controlling o/s script that picks up the file name, calls sql*loader and then also call's an SQL script (using sql*plus?) to insert the filename into a.n.other table.

Consolidating songs into 1 album that were copied into two separate albums (same name) when copied.

How can I consolidate two sets of songs into 1 album on Itunes. For example; I downloaded an album and i got two copies (copy one has 1,3,4,5,7); copy two has 2,6,8...

Hey Ryan, When you looked at Get Info as Illaass instructed did you compare all the info listed in iTunes Get Info on the computer's copy? When you looked at the song(s) that are separated, do they list anything different like a featured artist? Or a different composer / song writer? Sometimes that will trick the the software into thinking it is 2 different albums. Make the info about the album and artist match, then sync to your iPod. The songs should go back where they belong on your iPod. Good luck. Cheers.

Downloaded album from iPhone iTunes and only got half of the album

Downloaded album from iPhone iTunes and only got half of the album. Where is the rest of the album? My iTunes account showed that I was charged for the full account>

Welcome to the forums!
I'd contact the iTunes store and explain your situation. While they normally do not allow duplicate downloads the iPhone and Store interface is brand new and bound to have some issues to start with. I'd suspect they'll just allow you to download it again or credit your account.

Split string into two based on end of word and max length

I have the following procedure, which is passed a comma separated string as it input, and it has to split it into two, and the split has to occur at the end of a word, and the first split part can't be more than 15 in length.
Is there an more efficient way of achieving this? I have a loop in my main code that calls this procedure and in effect a nested loop has been created here.
e.g. Hello, everyone, welcome, to, split, string' would be split into 'Hello' and 'everyone, welcome, to, split, string'
create or replace procedure split_str
               (pi_str in varchar2,
                po_str1 out nocopy varchar2,
                po_str2 out nocopy varchar2) is
i number;
begin
if (len(pi_str) <= 15) then
    po_str1 := pi_str;
    po_str2 := NULL;
else
    i := 1;
    loop
      exit when len(SUBSTR(pi_str, 1 ,INSTR(pi_str, ',', 1, i)-1)) > 15;
      po_str1 := SUBSTR(pi_str, 1 ,INSTR(pi_str, ',', 1, i)-1);
      po_str2 := SUBSTR(pi_str, INSTR(pi_str, ',', 1, i)+2);
      i := i+1;
    end loop;
end if;
end split_str;

You want to find the last space character before the 15th character.
x := INSTR ( SUBSTR ( pi_str, 1, 15) , ' ' , -1)Then the first string is SUBSTR(pi_str,1,x) and the second string is SUBSTR(pi_str,x+1)

Split records into two files based on lookup table

Hi,
I'm new to ODI and want to know on how I could split records into two files based on a value in one of the columns in the table.
Example:
Table:
my columns are
account name country
100 USA
200 USA
300 UK
200 AUS
So from the 4 records I maintain list of countries in a lookup file and split the records into 2 different files based on values in the file...
Say I have records AUS and UK in my lookup file...
So my ODI routine should send all records with country into file1 and rest to file2.
So from above records
File1:
300 UK
200 AUS
File2:
100 USA
200 USA
Can you help me how to achieve this?
Thanks,
Sam

1. where and how do i create filter to restrict countries? In source or target? Should I include some kind of filter operator in interface.
You need to have the Filter on the Source side so that we can filter records accordingly the capture the same in the File. To have a Filter . In the source data store click and drag the column outside the data store and you will have Cone shaped icon and now you can click and type the Filter.
Please look into this link for ODI Documentation -http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/middleware/data-integrator/documentation/index.html
Also look into this Getting started guide - http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/E15985_01/doc.10136/getstart/GSETL.pdf . You can find information as how to create Filter in this guide.
2. If I have include multipe countries like (USA,CANADA,UK) to go to one file and rest to another file; Can I use some kind of lookup file...? Instead of modifying filter inside interface...Can i Update entries in the file?
there are two ways of handling your situation.
Solution 1.
1. Create Variable Country_Variable
2. Create a Filter in the Source datastore in the First Interface ( SOURCE.COLUMN = #Country_Variable)
3. Create a new Package Country File Unload
4. Call the Variable in Country_Variable in Set Mode and provide the Country (USA )
5. Next call the First Interface
6. Next call the Second Interface where the Filter condition will be ( SOURCE.COLUMN ! = #Country_Variable )
7. Now run the package .
Solution 2.
If you need a solution to handle through Filer.
1. Use this Method (http://odiexperts.com/how-to-refresh-odi-variables-from-file-%E2%80%93-part-1-%E2%80%93-just-one-value ) to call the File where you wish to create store the country name into the variable Country_Variable
2. Pretty much the same Create a Filter in the Source datastore in the First Interface ( SOURCE.COLUMN = #Country_Variable)
3.Create a new Package Country File Unload
4.Next call the Second Interface where the Filter condition will be ( SOURCE.COLUMN ! = #Country_Variable )
5. Now run the package .
Now through this way using File you can control the File.
Please try and let us know , if you need any other help.

Is iPhoto open when you connect the camera and are you seeing the camera in iPhoto?
If not then describe in detail how you're going about trying to import photos from your Samsung camer into your iPhoto Library. From what you've described we have no idea what's going on.
And where is this "import" folder located that you're referring to?

HT2729 Is there a way to store videos into a separate album right after you shoot it on iPhone camera?

Is there a way to store videos into a separate album right after you shoot it on iPhone camera?
Finding videos in iPhone photo album requiers you to search through everything on your album. Is there a way to create separate video album or have them automatically save to a dedicated video album?
It's a pain finding videos when you use the camera so much and as it is I'm constantly organizing the photos.

Not even an app that might do this?

is there anyway to stop iPhoto 9.6 creating a new unnamed album within a named album when I drag a new photo into the named album. for example: There is a album called Fred. I have a new photo of Fred imported into the Last import Folder. I wanted to drag it into the album called Fred but iPhoto creates a new unnamed album within Fred.
Any ideas please. I am using Yosemite 10.1.1
Many thanks Jaz Eilles

Sounds like you have a folder with an album named fred inside of it. Folders can only hold other folders, albums, slideshows, etc. but not just photos. So you must be sure to drop the photo directly onto the album titled fred that resides inside that folder otherwise it will create a new album.
So expand the folder so the fred album is visible and drop the new photo onto the album.

How do I get all the songs from an album to show in the album view? Currently, if an album lists the artist plus a guest artist, those are shown separately and appear to be two different albums on my iPod. How do I get all the songs on that album together on my iPod? If the album is a collaboration wtih many artists, each sond may appear as a separate album.

I used to have this problem.
First, you need to go back on iTunes
you need to go to each of the songs that are having this problem
Click the album so all the songs drop down
Right click the songs that have this problem
Click ' Get info '
Click the tab that says " info '
The box that says ' album artist ' should probably be empty (correct me if I'm wrong)
Click it and type the artist of the entire album, NOT the songs guest artist
as such,
ARTIST
JAY-Z Feat. Justin Timberlake
ALBUM ARTIST
JAY-Z
These should be separate for each artist
If you write the same album artists for each song by that artist, all the songs should be on 1 album

I have just downloaded Photoshop CC and found it installed two versions.

I am using Adobe Creative Cloud. I have just downloaded Photoshop CC and found it installed two versions. I beleive the 32 bit version and the 64 bit version. Is there a reason it has installed two versions? Can I remove one version as I am running a Windows 8.1 64 bit machine?

I don't know if my issue is the same or not...
I updated Photoshop CC last week, and now have Photoshop CC and Photoshop CC 2014 in my applications folder. When I open a file created in Photoshop, it opens Photoshop. However, if I open another Photoshop file (by double-clicking on it), it opens up in a second Photoshop app (not the app that's already open)... so I have two Photoshops open at the same time. And both are CC versions.
