Audiobook chapters by same author messed up in the Finder?

When I "show in finder" on a music track the track will show up in iTunes Media/ Music/ Artist/ Album - all very neat and as it should be!
However with an audiobook, where I have many audiobooks by the same author, then "show in finder" takes you only to the author's folder (iTunes Media / Audiobooks / Author / ...
There's no seperation of the "albums" within the Finder - and since many such tracks are named with a leading double digit I just have the first chapters of all the books by the author grouped together and then the second chapters and so on. Actually it gets worse than that as many such books have multiple discs so all the track 01's get mixed up!
My metadata inside iTunes is pretty well arranged so WITHIN iTunes I can clearly see my different books - but I'm struggling to see how I could get things better organised in the Finder so if I want to locate the "physical" (can't think of a better word!) tracks I can do so easily as I could with a music track.
Oh yes - and all this without PLEASE messing up the beautifully organised metadata I have inside iTunes!
Is the only way to change the "Media Kind" in Options back to Music so they get sorted into album folders? Hopefully there's a better way!
Many thanks

SOLVED!!!
Hi there!
Up to date this "bug" hasn't been resolved, but there is a very easy way around this:
Edit your audioboos Author so it includes the Title of the Audiobook too, i.e. Author: Douglas Adams - Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy
Of course this has a few drawbacks. Looking for Douglas Adams will make a few sparate Douglas Adams pop up, if you have more than one audiobook, but: In Finder every Author get his own folder in the audiobooks folder.... so the different titles get neatly organized.
Anyways, Apple - please fix this, shouldn't cost the responsible guys more than an hour of work, no? Am I being naive? It works for Music Albums...

Hi.. Tried Syncing my new iphone but got a message that the PC was not authorized. Been using the same PC before.
Went to the Store to Authorize the PC and got a message that this was already authorized.
The same messages show up when you repeat the cycle.
Any tips on how to resolve?

I'd ask that on the iPad forum.

I had my computer repaired, and when I got it back I had to reinstall iTunes. Now iTunes won't authorize this computer because it says we already have 5 devices authorized, but this is the same computer. Does anyone know how I can fix this?

Deauthorizing won't delete anything, and all your purchased content is safe. You will just have to reauthorize any of the other computers that get deauthorized along with your computers old machine id.
To get your purchased content back on that computer, just use iTunes to redownload it (http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2519?viewlocale=en_US&locale=en_US). Of course, music you ripped from CD or got from another source you'll need to copy those files back over.

BUG: can't download multiple iBooks from same Author, workaround found

Hello,
Symptom:
We created ~12 iBooks (files) but the iBooks app in iOS wouldn't accept more than one iBook. You could download the files via various channels (Google Drive, Safari, etc.) and try to "Open In... iBooks" but only the first iBook you installed would open (and later be visible). You cannot also download a newer version (same name) of the first iBook. If you delete the first iBook, you can again download/install/open just file. This is a bug.
Root Problem?
We created later iBooks by changing the content of the previous one and then saving it. We believe there is unique 'project' metadata within each new iBook project you create (from which iBook files comes). This is not visible or configurable within iBooks Author. We think the iBooks app sees that project metadata, thinks its the same book , and then opens that first iBook. The file you downloaded is on the device but the iBook database can't accept it not the bookshelf present it. Its likely orphaned within the device.
Workaround
Until Apple fixes the bug, the workaround is to always create a 'new' iBooks project in iBook Author for each iBook you wish to publish. If you need to re-use content, copy-paste it from the old project into the new one.
Solution
Perhaps iBooks (app) could sense the name, author, and version number when iBooks Author saves the .ibook file and treat that combination (maybe as a hash) as the unique version value.

Hi KayNeine
Thanks for your post with this workaround. This certainly seems to tally with my experience and the hidden metadata theory does seem to answer why it is happening. Just need Apple to acknowledge and address the problem.
As this Support Community obviously isn't moderated by Apple can I suggest as many people as possible use the iBooks Author Feedback Form to report their issues. Hopefully then, someone at Apple might take note and try and rectify these problems.
http://www.apple.com/feedback/ibooks-author.html
This is available from the iBooks Author App in the menu: iBooks Author > Provide iBooks Author Feedback.

Prompts for Security ?'s on Same Authorized PC

I do actually know my answers to the much discussed "Security Questions". What I don't understand is why I have to answer them every time I visit the iTunes Store on the same authorized computer. After log-in, I get the message that I "have not previously purchased..using this computer", when I just bought something 15 minutes earlier. Then I get emails telling me I bought something using my computer. I do have a router and dynamic IP but that has never been an issue before.
I don't mind answering the questions but they worry me more than assure me because it makes me think something somewhere has come undone. Is everyone getting these prompts repeatedly or is there something wrong with my account?
Thanks,
Jacki

Hello all,
New to the board and am shopping for a gift for my
wife. I have a 1st generation shuffle and it is
connected to our(now) laptop, and loaded into itunes.
If I get her a second generation shuffle, am I going
to run into problems with overwriting current itunes,
when we sync her ipod up to the same PC as my 1st
generation? Am I making sense???
Any help is appreciated!!
Should work fine...

I bought an iBook. When I downloaded the book, it was another book by the same author. What can I do?

I Pre ordered a book and received an email that the book was available. When I downloaded the book, it was another book by the same author which I already have. What can I do?

Try delete the book via the Select button at theta right of the bookshelf and redownload it via the Purchased tab in the app.
If the wrong book redownloads then use the 'report a problem' page to contact iTunes Support : http://reportaproblem.apple.com
Or you can try contacting iTunes Support via this page : http://www.apple.com/support/itunes/contact/ - click on Contact iTunes Store Support on the right-hand side of the page, then Purchases, Billing & Redemption

Hi Shreya,
That answer seems to work in purchased books but in my case I dont know who is the ebook provider in lebrary. I asked library people and they did not give me any contact to reset the activation. I will try again to find out that contact. I was wondering if there is any way at our side so we can fix this. Probably there is nothing. Thanks anyway.

Audiobook chapters no longer grouped by book on iPod classic

My new iPod classic arrived today. When I synced it to iTunes 7.4.2 I found that the contents of the Audiobooks category were no longer grouped by title. Instead, all of the files were simply alphabetically sorted. So all of the "Chapter 1"s from all of the books appear together in the list. And they play back that way, too—going from Book A's Chapter 1 to Book B's. This basically makes it impossible to listen to an audiobook.
Also, "Audiobooks" no longer appears in the list of Genres, though it did on my old iPod.
All of my audiobooks are .m4b files and show up in the Audiobooks category (not in the Audiobooks genre under Music) in iTunes.
Has anyone else seen this? Any idea what's going on?

See the first section of Corrupt iPod classic. If the media files aren't visible in the hidden folders then it may still be possible to use an unerase/undelete or other file recovery tool.

I was messing arouond with the general settings and I turned on the voice (under General settings) and when the screen timed out, I can't get it to take my 4 number passcode to get into my ipad. Please help! I'm totally locked out!

I would appreciate any help I can get. I was just messing around with the general setting on the ipad (64GB 3G...1st edition ipad), and did not realize that if I went under the general settings and changed the option to turn "on" the voice over, that it would require a double click on everything automatically. I have my ipad set up to lock after 2 minutes on non-use, and when I tried to sign back in, it said that my 4 digit passcode was incorrect. Then I tried to double click on each number, and that didn't seem to work. The numbers 1-9 seemed to input ok, but a zero seemed to throw it off. I have no idea if it has anything to do with it, but any help on getting back in to my ipad, I would greatly appreciate it, and I will be turning off that stupid voice over off as soon as I can. I was just goofing off, and was not going to let it stay on permenantely, but I tried to go back under the settings immediately, and I couldn't easily find it, but if someone could help on just getting me back in....I would owe you a big favor!
Thanks......freaking out in Mobile, AL!!

Touch or tap the field that you want to use/select and it should get a box around it ; then double-tap that field to activate/type it. Once you've entered your password you can do the same (i.e. touch to select, double-tap to activate) to gradually get into Settings > General > Accessibility > VoiceOver and turn it off.
So to enter your passcode you first need to tap the 'slide to unlock' button to hightlight it (it should get a box around it), then double-tap it to unlock it. Then for your passcode tap the digit that you want and it should get a box around it; then double-tap that digit to type it; and similar for the other three digits in your passcode.
The manual (http://support.apple.com/manuals/#ipad) also that you should be able to switch voice-over off by connecting to your computer's iTunes :
Turn VoiceOver on or off in iTunes: Select iPad in the iTunes sidebar. In the Options section of the Summary pane, click Configure Universal Access. Select VoiceOver, then click OK.
So select Configure Universal Access at the bottom of the Summary tab and set Seeing to Neither

Download them to the computer to which the iPod is synced, re-sync.

If not this:
iOS: Wi-Fi or Bluetooth settings grayed out or dim
If not successful, an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is usually in order.
Apple Retail Store - Genius Bar
Then
- 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
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. See:
iOS: How to back up
- Restore to factory settings/new iOS device.
If still problem, make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store since it appears you have a hardware problem.

How to filter certificate templates in Certificate Authority snap-in with the correct values

How to filter certificate templates in Certificate Authority snap-in with the correct values
I have a 2012 R2 server running Microsoft Certificate Authority snap-in.
I want to do a filter on a specific Certificate Template which i know exists in the 'Issued Certificates' folder.
All the documentation i can find seems to suggest i copy the certificate name and use this in the View Filter.
1). I add the 'Certificate Template' option into the Field drop-down.
2). I leave the Operation as the '=' symbol
3). I paste in just the name of the template in question. for example: 'my computers'
The search results always come back blank 'There are no items to show in this view.' even when i know there are many instances of this template. I've tried on a win 2008 server and same issue.
Is there a correct value to enter for the Certificate Template name?
Can this be done easier using certutil commands?
When i run the certutil tool i can confirm i have several issued templates. Certutil -catemplates -v > c:\mytemplate_log.csv
Anybody know what i'm doing wrong?
I seem to be getting nowhere with this one.

> But its important you are using the template name, not the display name
this is incorrect. OIDs are mapped to *display name*, not common name (it is true for all templates except Machine template). That is, in order to translate template name to a corresponding OID, you need to use certificate template's display name. And, IIRC,
template name in the filter can be used only for V1 templates. For V2 and higher, OID must be used.

How do I get the same song to play on the main menu and during scene select

I would like the music to play continuously throught the menu and scene selection. As it is I have to drag the audio file into each scene selection, and the music starts at the beginning.
At least, is there a way to remove the awful sound track that iDVD has on the themes?
iMac 20 core Duo Mac OS X (10.4.8)

Yes I can add audio, how do I get the same song to play throughout the chapter menus? I have 30 "chapters", which are scenes from an hour of home movie. Can the same song play continuously throughout the different chater menus?. As it is now, I have to drag an audio file into every submenu, and it starts the song at the beginning for each chapter menu.
Otherwise, that same song that is preloaded on the theme is played. I hope this makes sence, kind of hard to explain. Thanks

If you bought the iPhone from an authorized store/vendor, you should have taken the iPhone to them or any other Apple Store for evaluation under warranty.
Once it has been opened by non-Apple entity, Apple will not do anything for this.
