Arabic titles and tags in itunes

Hi,
I have a number of MP3s with Arabic titles or ID3 tags. Is there a way I could cleanly import these into iTunes without destroying the tags. the titles change to weird type of font not sure what (clearly not english or arabic)
I\d be grateful for any help
Thanks

pocoloco hello,
Open Font Book and look for duplicate copies of the Lucida Grande font. Dupes have a • next to their name. They can be deleted.
Mac OS X uses Lucida Grande as the main system font, as does iTunes. If another application installs its own copy of the font this confuses iTunes, amongst others.
see how it it all goes after that ... let's know ... TP

Can't add information and tags in itunes with Windows 8

I just got a new computer with Windows 8. I installed itunes and moved my library but it won't allow me to add information and tags. The box won't open when I right click on a track, and when I try to do it from file and get info the area is greyed out.

Repair iTunes Security Permissions
Right-click on your main iTunes folder and click Properties, then go to the Security tab and click Advanced. Use the Change Permissions... button grant to your account (or the Users group) and SYSTEM full control of this folder, subfolders and files, then tick the option to Replace permissions entries... which will repair permissions throughout the library. When complete switch to the General tab, click in the Read-only check box to clear it, then click Apply.
If you don't have the option to change the permissions then use the Owner tab and Edit... button to take ownership from an account with administrator privileges. Tick the option to Replace owner on subcontainers and objects.
Repeat with the media folder if it isn't stored inside the main iTunes folder.
You might also want to kill any "mystery" identities that have come over from the old computer...

Duplicate title and files in iTunes

Problem: Duplicate titles in iTunes
I have tried to find asolution for my problem with duplicate titles and duplicate files in iTunes andiTunes media (witch is the folder that iTunes keeps music and other media in).
I have/need:
Over 1000 duplicate titles
Some of the duplicates with same file and Some of them with two different files (this makes it much more difficult)
Allot of duplicated titles with the same “added date”
All the files are organized by iTunes in iTunes media,
Playlists that I don’t want to delete
Genre, album and artist information I don’t want to delete
I use Mac
The possibilities I have found:
"Show duplicates" in the menu in iTunes (To much work when there is over 1000 duplicate songs) and (Allot of duplicated titles with the same “added date” so I cant sort them that way)
Tuneup,plug-in (I’m not sure if Tuneup just removes the duplicate titles or the file behind the duplicate titles. If it deletes the file I’m going to end up with allot of songs missing their files, in other word the tunes are gone)
Idupe,app (cantboth remove duplicate files and leave the files of the oneswitch are only duplicate titles iniTunes)
Removeall music from iTunes an thenimport it all again after moving all iTunes media into one folder with “bigmean folder machine” (I’m afraid this is going to affect my playlists andgenre, artist, album organization.
"Consolidate" in the iTunes menu (not quitesure what that does)
Sorry for my badspelling

You could try "Dupin". It costs $ 15, but there is a demo available for testing: http://dougscripts.com/itunes/itinfo/dupin.php

Labelling and tags in iTunes. A specific help request!

Hi Guys,
I'm pretty fussy about keeping my iTunes collection neat, tidy and organised but I have one problem I can't seem to resolve.
I have a boxed set of every album produced by Joe Satriani but recorded at 96KHz 24 bit. I also have the whole collection already in my iTunes collection as lossy MP3s.
What I want to do is add the 15 hi-res albums contained within 'The Complete Studio Collection' but retain the older files.
When I view in iTunes I want the album title for all the new files to be 'The Complete Studio Collection', the artist name to be Joe Satriani throughout but also have the ability to 'sub-head' each album and have the associated artwork for each - so 15 albums all with separate headings and artwork but all encompassed by the title 'The Complete Studio Collection'.
I also have a problem with how the actual audio files are stored.
At the moment if I name each album by its title and add the matching artwork in iTunes the audio files get lumped in with the files previously in the collection, so I end up with multiple copies of the same tracks in album folders - some as lossy MP3s and some as 96KHz Apple Lossless files. I want the newer files separated but I also want to keep the compressed versions.
Is this possible and if so how do I achieve it please?
I'm currently running iTunes 11.2 and OS X 10.9.3
Thanks guys,
rich

Arabic titles in itunes

when importing songs containing arabic titles or tags all letters appear in a unreadable and offcourse when syncronizing with iphone or ipod same rubbish appears in the ipod
can anyone tell me what do do to resolve this issue please?

The ID 3 tags need to be in Unicode, so you may need to convert them.
Not all ipods support Arabic I think. What kind do you have?

Is it possible to share multiple photos from iPhoto to flickr with embedded title, description and tags for each photo?

I use iPhoto to share my photos to different sites like facebook and flickr ... with facebook it's easy since the pics don't need much details ... however, I have some trouble with Flickr, since I need to add description, titles and tags for each picture ... is there a way to do so ?!

Titles and descriptions are not embedded into a photo until it is exported out of iPhoto with the following settings:
So if Facebook can read those values in an image file you'll need to export as shown above and upload to FB from outside of iPhoto or import back into iPhoto and sync the new files to FB.

The arabic title of the frame displayed incorrectly

hi guys,
i have a problem in displaying the title of the frame which is arabic string,
the mainFrame in my application have an arabic title and i wrote the tilte in unicode format , it displayed correctly in win98,winMe but in win2000 Server the title displayed as ????????, i also tried to do the following
new String(Title.getBytes("8859_1"),"utf-8") but no gain,
so if you can help me, please do.
thanks for your efforts.

You would need to use iWebSEO to do this. It allows you to add page browser titles, tags and Google analytics to your site to be search engine friendly.
Note, you need to publish your site to a local folder on your desktop first and then upload.

Template won't allow me to put in title or tags

Hello
I have created a template but when I come to put a title in the pages when I try it save it it won't allow me to. Is there something wrong with my program or am I doing something wrong?
How do I insert title and tags etc. into pages derived from the master template (if that's the right word!). Is it done from the template itself?
Any help, please?
Thank you

Hello,
the simplest approach for you at the Moment would be to have a look here:
Adobe Dreamweaver * Editing, updating, and deleting templates
If your problem still exist, please send a link to your Website in question, so we could better analyze/help you.

ITunes is changing song titles and artists

iTunes appears to be infrequently and randomly changing the artist and song title tags of music in my library. I usually just put my music on random shuffle, so it can take me a long time to actually identify errors -- like when I listen to music from a particular artist, or when I happen to glance at iTunes when a song iTunes has mis-re-named is playing. So far, the errors seem to confined within single albums at a time, but that might just be because of the circumstances of me identifying the errors.
In the first case I noticed a while back, an album with six songs had their titles all jumbled up. Each song was titled with an incorrect song title from the same album. The artist, album, and genre tags all remained correct. In the most recent case, two songs from a compilation album had their artist and song title tags overwritten with the info from a third track on the same album (so I ended up with three songs with the same title and artist).
Any idea what might be causing this apart from a crappy coding?

If iTunes and WMP are referencing the same copy of the MP3, then a tag change in one will be reflected in the other. If that is not what you want, you will need separate copies of the song.
Being picky, iTunes will write it's changes to the tag immediately (unless the file is locked as read-only) whereas WMP may choose to do it at some later point in time unless you use an option to "Apply media information changes". WMP will generally notice automatically that another appliation has modified the tag and updates it's library accordingly whereas iTunes only spots the change if it accesses the tag for some reason.
If you want WMP & iTunes to play nicely together you are best off disabling the WMP options for "Rearrange music in the rip folder..." and "Automatic media information update..." (you can still do so manually). I also find it best to change the WMP rip folder to the same as the iTunes Music folder. Letting iTunes "Keep the music folder organised" is a matter of choice (I choose not) but at least WMP can cope if your files get shuffled around by iTunes whereas the reverse is not the case.

I have added about 2000 cds to itunes without the song details. as i slowly update the song titles and genres etc in itunes, it does not always update the file in explorer. is there a solution to this? thanks.

Windows Explorer will display tag properties for mp3 & wma files, not aac (m4a) or wav. It is possible for mp3 files to contain multiple tags but only one will be displayed. Try inspecting the problem fils with a third party tag editor to see if you can tell what is going on. For mp3 files, provided all the details that you want the file to have are displayed in iTunes, you can try using the right-click option Convert ID3 Tag > None a few times followed by Convert ID3 Tag > ID3v2.3 which may well help.

Hi,
From your description, you want to add a help link(read data from other list) into new form page.
The following code for your reference:
<script src="http://code.jquery.com/jquery-1.10.2.min.js" type="text/javascript"></script>
<script type="text/javascript">
ExecuteOrDelayUntilScriptLoaded(AddHelpLink, "sp.js");
function AddHelpLink() {
var context = new SP.ClientContext.get_current();
var list= context.get_web().get_lists().getByTitle("configurationList");
var camlQuery= new SP.CamlQuery();
camlQuery.set_viewXml("<View><Query><Where><Eq><FieldRef Name='Title'/><Value Type='Text'>Help</Value></Eq></Where></Query></View>");
this.listItems = list.getItems(camlQuery);
context.load(this.listItems,'Include(Title,URL)');
context.executeQueryAsync(function(){
var ListEnumerator = listItems.getEnumerator();
while(ListEnumerator.moveNext())
var currentItem = ListEnumerator.get_current();
var title=currentItem.get_item("Title");
var url=currentItem.get_item("URL").get_url();
var HelpLinkhtml ='<a href="'+url+'">'+title+'</a>';
$("input[value='Cancel']").parent("td").addClass('ms-separator').append(HelpLinkhtml);

Sounds like you may need to re-download the entire albums from iTunes. See this KB article for how to download past purchases: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2519.
I'd suggest doing it one album at a time. Delete one, download it from your purchase histor, then the next, etc.

There are two folders in the My Music folder dedicated to iTunes music:
•My Music > AppleReceive
and
•My Music > iTunes > iTunes Media > Music
They share many of the same titles, although some duplicates may be mp3 and m4a. Confusingly, neither format seems to be exclusive to the AppleReceive or iTunes Media folder.
I'm reluctant to playing the "delete one and see what happens" game.
Any theories/suggestions?

No idea what this folder is. Sounds like it is something you created & named.
•My Music > iTunes > iTunes Media > Music
This is the default folder iTunes uses for music.
