Audiobook confusion – no order to how they are listed – cant find anything

OK I have lots of audio books on my ipod. The only issue is, some of them are ones I have ripped from CD and so they have tons and tons of tracks.
At first, the ones I ripped were in the music section of my library and the ones I bought from audible were in the audiobook section. But I really wanted them all together, so I have learned how to move all my audio books to the audiobook section of itunes.
In fact I even went as far as to create new genres in that sections (aka fiction, non-fiction...ect) to further separate the books. I thought that once they were synced with my ipod, I would have the option to search through my audio books the same way I did my music (aka artist, genre, title, ect....)
However, the audiobook book only allows you to search through by track list name.......which I have hundreds of. This type of listing makes it impossible to find anything.
So does anyone have any suggestion on how I can fix this or what the best bet is for me?
I saw Apple has an audiobook builder app. But it is only for apple computer and isn't compatible with my computer --- so anyone that has any suggestions would be greatly appreciated!
Thanks Blandkid

If I understand your situation correctly, the best workaround that I've been able to come up with is to rename each of the tracks that are part of a given book so that the name of the book preceeds the name of the track.
The tracks will still be listed separately on your iPod but at least they will be kept together with other tracks that are a part of that book.

How do I get multiple files to open in the same alpha-numeric sort order in which they are displayed in Finder?

If I drag a bunch of files to, e.g., Adobe Photoshop they seem to open in strange orders. This makes automating any sort of editing workflow next to impossible. Is there some way to get programs to open files in the same order in which I see them? This is the default behaviour in Windows and it's really helpful when you have hundreds of files (or even just a few) that need to be processed in a certain order. Thanks for any help you might provide.

You're welcome.
What's likely happened is that when you transferred the video to the new machine they lost their dates.
Photos use the Exif metadata to record the date and time of the shot. This is quite different from the date and time of the file, which can change as the file is copied from place to place. Video doesn't have Exif, and so iPhoto uses the file date, and that's changed.
Simply, there's no absoultely reliable way to date video.
Try assign dates with the Batch Change command under the Photos menu.

I have a drop down coupon box that keeps dropping down and i need to know how to remove it. cant find anything anywhwere that resembles this.

HT203167 Hi, I've purchased a few films from itunes (and they are listed as Purchased in my account), but I can't find them on my computer or on my itunes account, and itunes wants me to pay for them again. How do I get around this?

Hi, I've purchased a few films from itunes (and they are listed as Purchased in my account), but I can't find them on my computer or my itunes account, and itunes wants me to pay for them again. How do I get around this? I've tried all the suggestions, and it's hugely frustrating.

If you are in the UK, and the film studio allows re-downloading, and you are signed in with the same account that you bought them with, then they might show under the Purchased link under Quinklinks on the right-hand side of the iTunes store home page for re-downloading - if they don't show then check to see if they are hidden (hiding and unhiding).
But you should be keeping and maintaining your own backup of your downloads and noy rely on being able to re-download any item as they are occasionally removed from the store by the content provider (film studio, tv company, record company etc).

Welcome to the Apple Community.
You can't share preview files to an iOS device. There are several other options for pdf's such as Adobe Reader or iBooks.

The new Business Volume Purchase Program is pretty interesting...it can be used to centrally purchase and distribute paid ( not free) items from the AppStore. We are getting setup to use it. You can keep an eye on licenses etc. You can also use a single centralized form of payment.

How can I rid my iPhone of a huge library of photos which cannot be erased? they are listed under PhotoLibrary.

How can I rid my iPhone of a huge library of photos which cannot be erased? they are listed under PhotoLibrary.

If you turned on Photo Stream and don't want these pictures on your phone, just turn it off. As mention by wjosten, if you want to remove photos from Photo Library, or any of the albums under Photo Library, you have to deselect them on the Photos tab of your sync settings and sync your phone to remove them. Also, although the photos int Photo Library may appear to be duplicates of the photos in the albums, they aren't. The actual photos are all in Photo Library; the albums only contain links to the photos. Finally, you can only delete albums created on your phone, not ones synced from your computer. And they can only be deleted after they are empty.

What is the meaing of the sysmbolic constant value in the header file for UIR file and how they are used

In labwindows after creating the uir then header file is create automatically. There it has define some symbolic constant. As examples of colview.h(from the examples of labwindows )
#define MAINPNL              1       /* callback function: MainPanelCB */
#define MAINPNL_RESULTS      2     /* control type: table, callback function: ResultTableCB */
#define MAINPNL_NEWTEST     3       /* control type: command, callback function: NewTestCB */
My question is how these values 1, 2 and 3 were selected and how they are used in programs ?
If anyone explains, it will be a great help.

When creating a UIR file, CVI editor takes care of assigning constants to the panels / controls you create in it.
The conceptual framework is the following (assuming to treat the file you have reported in your message):
- Within a single UIR file all panels have a unique ID, which is the one you pass to LoadPanel when loading a panel into memory. LoadPanel (0, "myfile.uir", MAINPNL); is then translated to panelHandle = LoadPanel (0, "myfile.uir", 1); , that is: "load the first panel in the uir file". The panel in memory is then assigned a handle, which is guaranted unique by the OS and saved in panelHandle variable
- Addressing a control in a panel is done e.g. using SetCtrlVal (panelHandle, MAINPNL_NEWTEST, xxx); , which again is translated to SetCtrlVal (panelHandle, 1, 3); that is: "Set control #3 in the panel identified by panelHandle to value xxx".
You must not modify the include file associated to the UIR as it is fully maintained by the IDE and is rewritten each time you save the UIR file.
That conceptual framework has some advantages and some caveats:
- You can load the same panel more then once in your program: each instance is independent from the others as each panel handle is unique; in some occasions it may be helpful, e.g. if you need to handle several identical equipments connected to your PC and you can load the same control panel for each unit connected maintaining each of them independent
- If the panel handle is wrong, the system does not warn you of this as it does not know of the symbolic names you are using; if you try that SetCtrlVal command with a wrong handle you are trying to manipulate a control on a panel different from the one you intend: supposing actual panel idientified by the handle has control #3 the maximum you can expect is that you receive an error in case you pass e.g. a string to a numeric, but if controls are of the same type you have no errors or warning at all! This is particularly important when addressing controls on pages of a tab control: each page is really a separate panel with its proper handle that you must retrieve with GetPanelhandleFromTabPage command before addressing the controls on it
Proud to use LW/CVI from 3.1 on.

I entered new fields in a form that was created last year to update it. However, now when I view the responses, they are listed as Column 1, Column 5, etc. It doesn't show a label for the actual field when I view the responses. Can you please help?

Hi Mike,
CRSE is an OEM Product and for use with a custom application they have written. Unfortunately we don't their reports or how they are connecting, it would appear they were originally built off a SQL and then set to a Dataset in the app or they could be adding the data source at runtime. Lots of variations and without access to the source code to see what they are doing not much we can help you with.
You need to contact the OEM Partner for help in resolving this and find out what you can and need to do to update your SP and work with their canned reports,
Thank you
Don

I have music files by the same artist but they are listed in itunes in more than one album hod can i add then to just one album pf that artist

I have music files by the same artist but they are listed in Itunes in more than one album hod can i add then to just one album of that artist I am using windows 8.1 .

iTunes will group songs into an album when:
All songs have the same value for the Album and Artist field, or
All songs have the same value for the Album and Album Artist field
All songs have the same value for the Albumfield and the Part of a Compilation flag is checked.
If you want to group all the songs by one artist into a single "album" you can do so by following one of these rules. However, it may be more useful to create Playlists to group music like this and retain the original release information. One Smart Playlist for each artist you're interested in would meet this need without over-writing information about the source albums.

I downloaded 2 apps to my iphone, but neither one will work, they are app to find sateillites for directv when we are traveling in our rv. They areSAToolzdtv and dishformyrv /find satellite.

If you open the Kindle app on your iPad, then in the bottom right-corner should be an 'i'' button - touch that and you should then get a pop-up with the top option being Settings, which should then allow you to link it to your Amazon account and let you download any kindle books that you've already bought.
Edit : corrected above to 'bottom right-corner'
There is also help for the app, including 'Managing Registration', on Amazon's website :

There are some countries where FaceTime is not option on the iPhone iOS5, and there is no way to put it back, if you bought an iPhone in one of these countries.

Love Acrobat XI, but when I installed it became the default program to open all my photos. I'd like them to open in theirr native (JPEG, etc. format) How do I disable the PDF default conversion ? Cant' find anything in Preferences that works.

Sounds like a file association issue in Windows. Right click on the files of interest and select Open With>Choose Default Program and select the program you want used (be sure the "always use" box is checked. The Acrobat installation should not have done this change, but this is the process to make the change on each file type.
