Am I the only one that wants iTunes to change metadata?

Is there any way where I can get iTunes match to change my metadata? Most of my songs have inconsistant capilization and spelling errors and stuff like that. Is there a setting to change so itunes will change the metadata to what is listed on the itunes store? I really could care less if it might end up in a few errors... Otherwise, i think itunes match is great. Its 25 dollars, I dont understand why there are so many complaints. About 1000 of my 1700 song collection were matched and the rest uploaded in less than an hour and a half.

I'd LOVE that ability as well. I have a lot of old CD's I ripped, and some of the GraceNote data was messed up. I think I've fixed it pretty well, but I'd rather have the consistency of the metadata from the iTunes store.

Am I the only one that thinks iTunes slows everything down?

Maybe my computer is just very slow, but I feel like itunes is terrible in terms of memory usage. Every time I start it, it takes forever to boot and slows everything else down. Even if my computer is slow, this is a fault in the program as others don't have this effect... Anyone have feedback?

There's not much in iTunes that would slow the boot process of your computer, since the support processes (Mobile Device Support and Bonjour are the only ones I can think of that start at boot, though I may be forgetting one or two others) that iTunes uses don't start until late in the boot process. So I doubt that all your performance problems stem from iTunes. But you can try uninstalling iTunes - it shouldn't remove your content, but make sure you have a good backup just in case something goes wrong - and see if matters improve. That way you'll know for sure. Alternatively you can try just stopping, or uninstalling, the background processes and see if that makes any difference.
Another possibility is your system's security software, which might be blocking or delaying the launch of some components.
FWIW, I haven't seen any change in the performance of either my Windows XP nor Windows 7 systems after installation of iTunes.

Want my JFrame to be the *only* one that can end the program when closed

Hi all,
I have an application that is essentially a launcher for other applications -- it's a holder to allow us to demo our work and other Java examples (not necessarily our work). The launcher will either run methods to launch an application or will find a class's main method and invoke that.
In all cases, the other applications open up their own JFrames, separate from my launcher (this is a good thing). The problem is that, in general, the other JFrames are set to EXIT_ON_CLOSE. This means that if the user closes the second window, everything will close.
Is there anyway to prevent this from happening? I'd like either a way to say that my JFrame is the only one that can exit the program when closed, or to say globally that JFrames can't exit on close, and then re-work my initial frame so that it is still able to exit.
Note that changing all the other applications so that they do not include the EXIT_ON_CLOSE line is not an option (several of the applications we have the right to use, but not the right to modify, for instance).
Any thoughts?
Thanks,
Sam

I have a similar launcher application and this is how I tackled the issue....
Window[] windows = Window.getWindows();
This seems like a great work-around. The only problem is that Window.getWindows() is only 6.0, and unfortunately I can only assume 5.0. I can't see another method in the Window class that will return unowned windows -- is there another method that you know of?
Edit: I found I can use Frame.getFrames() instead, but unfortunately I've discovered this doesn't solve my problem. One of the applications is listening to window closing and is calling System.exit(0) itself, and is not using EXIT_ON_CLOSE as I previously thought. So I think that launching a new JVM may be the only option.... Any advice on how to do this? I'm a little stuck with the ProcessBuilder stuff above.

I guess I was thinking this as a process-oriented question (I had already been thinking of the "different JVM" tactic), but the other option was to think of it as a pure-swing problem, like your solution above. Guess I should have just cross-posted -- everyone loves that! ;-)

TS1424 I downloaded a song that stops at 1:04 and jumps to the next song, as if it's over. This song was in the middle of several songs, but this is the only one that is incomplete. Can I download this song again for free, or do I have to purchase again

Why is 1080i the only one that works for my slideshow.

Well... I'm getting to my breaking point.
First my system.. Mac Pro 2.66 2x300gb raid 0. x1900 ACD 30
5gb Ram
I have read many many posts.. but I still need your help.
I have found that the only thing that gives me a marketable slideshow in terms of quality images is to make a slideshow in imovie under 1080i.
The problem with this is that it really really slows my computer down, and I don't want to do this with a slide show of about 150 images per client, and then have wait more for transistions.
Shouldn't I start a new slideshow in "DV" setting for a 4x3?
I have tried reducing res from 10.2 mp to a 1024x??? settting for images (depending on orientation). All I seem to lose here is a bit of sharpening as I reduce the image resolution, which makes sense if I understand correctly.
So... Where to go from here.
I read the posts.. and have determined that I can use Photo to move (which I have) to make clips and import them into Imovie. Again, a slow process as each clip has to be done seperatly. Is there another way with PTM, because it does render the best Ken burns effect I have seen. Again 150 images is too long to wait to make a slide show of a wedding, not cost effective for me.
Hope someone can help.

Anyone??
When I make a movie in 1080 or 720.. it takes alot of resources and slows things down.
Just wondering why choosing those options are the only ones that seem to work
I really need to get it into 4x3 format too.

It seems I cannot use Sky Go even if I use Firefox. The only one that works is IE 11.

I was using Google Chrome, but it seems they do not support Silverlight which Sky Go use. I was told that Firefox would work. It doesn't. The only one that works is Internet Explorer 11, which is very slooow. Why can't I use Firefox to view Sky Go?

My Sky homepage. If I want to watch cricket say, it come up with ' sky go unavailable at this present moment'. If I log on to my IE 11, sky go works Ok. I have the Silverlight add-on or plug-in whatever you call it.
Still no joy in Firefox.

ITunes download is extremely slow or not working, am I the only one experiencing this, iTunes download is extremely slow or not working, am I the only one experiencing this

iTunes download is extremely slow or not working, am I the only one experiencing this, iTunes download is extremely slow or not working, am I the only one experiencing this?

I do not have a solution, just the same complaint. ***! ! I just used the iTunes store 2 weeks ago and now, after reviewing everything they asked for including ID/Pass/ Account Info etc. I can't even get into the store. I have tried asking at the Mac store and it has all been to no avail. I was perfectly happy with iTunes before all of this ********... seriously what is the issue with iTunes? They ask me to upload a new version (with no system specs anywhere that I can find on the page) and then say it can't utilized because of system inadequacy. It is exceedingly frustrating.

Am I the only one that I cannot get ICH5R RAID0?

I tried every possible BIOS settings to have a RAID0 array on Intel controller,create RAID0 array with control+I, feed the floppy with F6, and every time I get a blue screen before the beginning of XP installation.
I wonder if I am the only one that I can't get the benefits of ICH5R RAID0 array?
Same HD's work fine with Promise controller RAID0. :O

I have 2 WD Raptors (setup for RAID 0), an ATA100 drive (Primary) and a DVD (Secondary) connected to the Intel controller.
Is there any performance gain by using your configuration:
ATA Configuration S-ATA only
P-ATA Keep Enabled YES
Versus using:
ATA Configuration P-ATA and S-ATA
It seems like the end result is the same. Both the SATA and ATA100 are enabled.
I noticed that if you want to use the RAID array as your system drive you need to set S-ATA Ports Definition to use SATA on ports 1 and 2.

I have the ipad 1, ios 5.1 is its max, and garage band requires ios 7.0, how do i buy garage band version 1.3, its the only one that will work, apple is so hard to get a hold of on these kind of things.

HD slideshow is the only one that works for me.. WHY??

I have a new mac pro with lots of hd and ram 5GB.. so I don't think its my system.
What I need to know is that I can make an acceptable slideshow if
1) I lower the resolution of my photos from 3884x2600 to about 1024x1024
2) I create a imovie 720hd or 1080i HD.
ANY other format creates a lousy final picture quality when viewed on the TV. I get a shimmering, but not so noticible jaggies as some have posted. If I keep the photo still and not use KB.. the still images are ok, but not fantastic. The KB kills them. This seems opposite of what I have read of the bug in imovie6.
Can anyone explain why if I use the HD formats for Imovie the photos turn out ok?
I would like to keep them in a 4x3 format but can't if I use the HD formats. Is there a way to make it 4x3 after?
Anyway.. I have done a lot of testing and this is the best I can get so far.

Am I the only one that has had every charging cable (for my iPhones and my iPads) fail? Very frustrating. I got used to quality products from Apple but seems the small stuff is being overlooked nowadays.

I have yet to have a cable for my iPad 3, iPad 4 or iPhone 5 fail. I have multiple cables for each device without any failures.

Are Apple products the only ones that have the option to have a hot spot built into i?

my husband needs to use a tablet for work. We don't have an Internet provider for it. I thought about using a personal hot spot for it. I have 2 Apple products he doesn't have any. Can you use a personal hotspot for them. I am not familiar with his products at all. Is Apple the only one that offers a hotspot on their products?

No. Click here and see the third paragraph.

Am I the only one who finds iTunes 11 tedious in the extreme?

Am I the only one who finds iTunes 11 tedious in the extreme? iTunes used to be easy to use but not now. For instance is there a way to delete an entire album from iTunes without deleting each individual song? Small example of my frustration with iTunes as it stands.

Thanks Airsculpture.
As I suspected you cannot just delete an entire album. It is a laborious and time consuming procedure. I got used to most updates but this one is truly awful and not user friendly at all.
Thanks for taking the time to reply though. It is appreciated.

HT4927 Am I the only one that finds this a little crappy? Do you think there will be a future update fix?

Am I the only one that finds this a little crappy. Do you think there will be a update to fix this issue so you don't have to reinstall the whole library?

I doubt it, but no one here knows. There are other forms of backing up.
