Audiobooks in the right menu!

I bought my first audiobook today in Itunes. The file shows up correctly in the Itunes library under Audiobooks. If my Ipod is connected, it even shows up correctly there, by clicking devices, ipod, audiobooks.
However, on the Ipod itself, it shows up in the music menu.
I called customer service to ask (this is not a big deal, but it bugs me) and they told me that I needed to reset my Ipod and sync everything again. Did that. Did not work.
How do you get this file to show up in the proper place on the Ipod?
I have read a lot of posts about how to do this when making your own books or getting them elsewhere, but, if you get them from Itunes, shouldn't this work? Why would it show up properly on the Itunes (both in the library and in the device menu) and not work on the Ipod itself?

We all have the same problem. Not sure about the demo video on Apple.com, but for some reason, the ipod firmware still classifies audiobooks as just regular audio, despite the fact that we all know they are audiobook files and not simple audio files. Thus, the artwork is randomly generated for the right side of the menu will always happen to show album artwork. I have yet to even see any audiobook artwork when I have the click wheel over the Music option. I have thousands of albums in my ipod, so the chances of seeing any audiobook album art when the click wheel highlights either Music or Audiobooks from the main menu are not that good... I'll let you know if I get lucky one day and actually see it.

How do I import audiobooks into the right place in my Ipod?

I have Windows and am struggling with getting audiobooks to actually go into the "audiobooks" designation on teh left hand side of the screen.
What they are actually doing is being listed as "books and spoken" and remaining in my music library.

If the files are mp3 then you can't just change the extension. The extension actually tells the computer what program to use when playing the file along with how to play the file.

Selecting "Audiobooks" closes the iPod application since upgrading to 2.1

Since I upgraded to the 2.1 version of software for my iPhone 3G, I have been unable to use it to listen to Audiobooks. Each time I select "Audiobooks" in the iPod menu it freezes for a couple of seconds and then pops me back out into the home screen. (See partial crash log below)
I have tried restoring the phone, but that didn't fix the problem.
Has anyone else experienced this issue and have a suggested fix or workaround.
Thanks

After a couple hours of testing last night, syncing and re-syncing, and crashing and crashing and crashing, I can add some specific facts, and provide details for a couple work-arounds (at the end).
1. The problem occurs when you try to click to the Audiobooks tab/panel of the iPod application. If I quit the iPod application while on (say) podcasts, I can re-launch the iPod application, and do anything but go to the Audiobooks tab, without causing a crash. (This makes an audiobooks playlist workaround a reasonable strategy while waiting for Apple to fix this defect.)
2. If I quit the iPod application while in the Audiobooks section, and then sync over audiobooks that trigger the problem, then the entire iPod application becomes inaccessible. That is, you can try to launch it, but it hangs, and then goes back to the desktop. The only way to get your iPod back is to re-sync and reduce the number of non-Audible tracks. If you're not at your computer, you're screwed.
3. Only non-Audible books seem to trigger the problem. I am able to sync 50+ audiobooks from Audible.com (all Type 4) and it seems to cause no problems. No specific or quantity of Audible.com Type 4 audiobooks seem to trigger crashes. (I imagine that this is somehow related to the Audible titles being relegated to the Audible ghetto, below the regular audiobooks list, instead of mixed in with the rest of my audiobooks. Which seems to me to be a dumb UI decision; why would I care where they were from? I just want my audiobooks in one place. But that's another rant.)
4. I currently have 18 non-Audible audiobook titles, consisting of 23 separate tracks (a couple books are multiple tracks, but only show up as one entry in the Audiobooks list on the iPhone), synced to my iPod, and I can use it normally. Adding one more track, and the Audiobooks section starts crashing. With another combination of audiobooks, I got it to 18 non-Audible entries in the list, but only 20 tracks. So it appears that the defect is triggered by having more than 18 entries in the Audiobooks list.
5. It doesn't matter what title I add, only that I hit the limit. I must have crashed the iPod application 100 times last night, testing my way through a playlist of 105 items...
6. All but one of the non-Audible tracks are AAC files (.m4a) that I have switched the file extension on, to .m4b, so they would show up in the Audiobooks section of iTunes and my iPhone (prior to iTunes 8, the .m4b extension was the only way to achieve that). The other track is a plain AAC (.m4a).
I hope this is useful in devising work-arounds. In particular, two possibilities seem like reasonable ways to cope while we wait for Apple to track the defect down:
1. Limit the number of (non-Audible) audiobooks synced to your iPhone / iPod Touch. You might find the following article helpful in that regard: Managing audiobooks on a small-capacity iPod -- http://aldoblog.com/audiobooks/itunes/managing-audiobooks-on-a-small-capacity-ip od/
I may receive some form of compensation, financial or otherwise, from my recommendation or link.
<Edited by Moderator>
In particular, the tips about creating smart playlists that you sync to the device, with filtering based on type and limits based on number of tracks, would seem to be strategies that will make it simpler to deal with this problem.
2. Create a single big playlist with all your audiobooks (maybe a smart playlist based on Genre starts with "Audiobook"), and use that to get to your audiobooks, rather than the Audiobooks application.

Is there a way to open the right click menu on the left side of your pointer?

Whenever I try to right-click an object that's located on the right side of the screen, the pointer always automatically click whatever entry in the right-click menu which just happens to be under the pointer the moment the menu is opened. I noticed that the reason this happens is because the right click menu always forces itself to open on the right side of the pointer, and when there isn't enough space, the right-click menu will open underneath the pointer. Since this is horribly inconvenient, is there a way to open the right-click menu on the left side of your pointer?

Are you saying you have an icon on the far right side and when you rt click on it, your pointer ends up opening wherever it lands? That is a two step process, or normally should be at least a two step process. Do you have a Mouse in your Control Panel? You should check, because there may be some properties with which you can play. For instance, I can switch primary and secondary functions on my mouse buttons by checking a box.
When I rt click on right side, the menu opens on the left.
When I rt click on left side, the menu opens on the right.
In order for me to take an action, I then have to move to an area in that menu and click.
I hope I understood your question correctly.

Bookmarks toolbar changed from the right side of the drop-down menu to the left. How can I change it back on Firefox 4.0.1 for Mac?

I just updated to Firefox 4.0.1. Some changes I don't like, especially that the Bookmarks toolbar opens to the left of the drop-down menu instead of the right. How can I change it?

You may have bookmarks that have long title. Firefox 4 shows the full text of the bookmark name, so if it doesn't fit with opening to the right side the Firefox will open to the left side. You can scroll through the list and make the bookmarks with a long name shorter.

How do I alphabatize all my bookmarks from the drop down menu with the star on the Right side of screen?

I want to alphabatize all my bookmarks that are in the drop down menu, the menu with the star icon, on the right side of the screen. I do not want to put them in folders or view them in the box from the menu bar and all the answers pertain to that box, and not to the one with the star. Thank you

I don't think it's possible from the toolbar button.
However, the action you take in the Bookmarks Sidebar or in the Library dialog will affect the Bookmarks Menu everywhere it is displayed, including the toolbar button, so you only need to use it for the few moments needed to use Sort By Name and then close it.
Bookmarks Sidebar (either):
* View menu > Sidebar > Bookmarks
* Command+b
Library dialog (either):
* Bookmarks menu > Show All Bookmarks
* Command+Shift+b
right-click "Bookmarks Menu" > Sort By Name

How do I fix the right-click context menu; it has blank entries and shows no selectable options?

recently I have noticed that my right-click context menu looks like it has no entries. It shows up on a right-click, but the whole menu is blank. On further investigation there are scroll buttons on the top and bottom of the menu and if I hover over the up buttom eventually the normal context commands scroll down from above. I noticed this first a few days ago, shortly after the download of 3.6.13. Today I also noticed that some of my menu bars were showing a similar issue with blank entries in the menus. In one case the menu also didn't register where the mouse was, highlighting a command several steps further up.
Is this something to do with the new Mozilla or something else? I only run a couple of addons, Ad Block Plus and Tab Mix Plus. Can try to capture a screen shot of the issue, but difficult since the menu dissapears when I try to do a screen grab!
All help is much appreciated.

Hi, thanks for the quick response!
While trying to find info on how to fix this I looked up some context menu addons for FF and tried one. It didn't work so I uninstalled it and after that everything was back to normal. Odd, but there you have it. I still don't know what went wrong in the first place but for the moment it appears to have cleared up.
Next time though I will try loading into Safe Mode if I find any issues (I forgot there was one!).
Thanks for getting back to me again.

Copying a table with the right-click menu in schema browser fails to copy comments when string has single quote(s) (ascii chr(39))

Hi,
I'm running 32-bit version of SQL Developer v. 3.2.20.09 build 09.87, and I used the built in context menu (right-clicking from the schema browser) today to copy a table. However, none of the comments copied. When I dug into the PL/SQL that the menu-item is using, I realized that it fails because it doesn't handle single quotes within the comment string.
For example, I have a table named WE_ENROLL_SNAPSHOT that I wanted to copy as WE_ENROLL_SNAPSHOT_V1 (within same schema name)
1. I right-clicked on the object in the schema browser and selected Table > Copy...
2. In the pop-up Copy window, I entered the new table name "WE_ENROLL_SNAPSHOT_V1" and ticked the box for "Include Data" option. -- The PL/SQL that the menu-command is using is in the "SQL" tab of this window. This is what I extracted later for testing the issue after the comments did not copy.
Result: Table and data copied as-expected, but no column or table comments existed.
I examined the PL/SQL block that the pop-up window issued, and saw this:
declare
l_sql varchar2(32767);
c_tab_comment varchar2(32767);
procedure run(p_sql varchar2) as
begin
     execute immediate p_sql;
end;
begin
run('create table "BI_ETL".WE_ENROLL_SNAPSHOT_V1 as select * from "BI_ETL"."WE_ENROLL_SNAPSHOT" where '||11||' = 11');
select comments into c_tab_comment from sys.all_TAB_comments where owner = 'BI_ETL' and table_name = 'WE_ENROLL_SNAPSHOT' and comments is not null;
run('comment on table BI_ETL.WE_ENROLL_SNAPSHOT_V1 is '||''''||c_tab_comment||'''');
for tc in (select column_name from sys.all_tab_cols where owner = 'BI_ETL' and table_name = 'WE_ENROLL_SNAPSHOT')
    loop
   for c in (select comments from sys.all_col_comments where owner = 'BI_ETL' and table_name = 'WE_ENROLL_SNAPSHOT' and column_name=tc.column_name)
   loop
   run ('comment on column BI_ETL.WE_ENROLL_SNAPSHOT_V1.'||tc.column_name||' is '||''''||c.comments||'''');
end loop;
end loop;
EXCEPTION
WHEN OTHERS THEN NULL;
end;
The string of the table comment on WE_ENROLL_SNAPSHOT is this:
WBIG table of frozen, point-in-time snapshots of Enrolled Students by Category/term/pidm. "Category" is historically, and commonly, our CENSUS snapshot; but, can also describe other frequencies, or categorizations, such as: End-of-Term (EOT), etc. Note: Prior to this table existing, Census-snapshots were stored in SATURN.SNAPREG_ALL. All FALL and SPRING term records prior-to-and-including Spring 2013 ('201230') have been migrated into this table -- EXCEPT a few select prior to Fall 2004 (200410) records where there are duplicates on term/pidm. NO Summer snapshots existed in SNAPREG_ALL, but were queried and stored retroactively (including terms prior to Spring 2013) for the purpose of future on-going year-over-year analysis and comparison.
Note the single quotes in the comment: ... ('201230')
So, in the above PL/SQL line 11 grabs this string into "c_tab_comment", but then line 12 fails because of the single quotes. It doesn't know how to end the string because the single quotes in the string are not "escaped", and this messes up the concatenation on line 12. (So, then no other column comments are created either because the block throws an error, and goes to line 22 for the exception and exits.)
When I modify the above PL/SQL as my own anonymous block like this, it is successful:
declare
c_tab_comment VARCHAR2(32767);
begin
SELECT REPLACE(comments,chr(39),chr(39)||chr(39)) INTO c_tab_comment FROM sys.all_TAB_comments WHERE owner = 'BI_ETL'   AND table_name = 'WE_ENROLL_SNAPSHOT' AND comments IS NOT NULL;
EXECUTE IMMEDIATE 'comment on table BI_ETL.WE_ENROLL_SNAPSHOT_V1 is '''||c_tab_comment||'''';
for tc in (select column_name from sys.all_tab_cols where owner = 'BI_ETL' and table_name = 'WE_ENROLL_SNAPSHOT')
    loop
   for c in (select REPLACE(comments,chr(39),chr(39)||chr(39)) comments from sys.all_col_comments where owner = 'BI_ETL' and table_name = 'WE_ENROLL_SNAPSHOT' and column_name=tc.column_name)
   loop
   EXECUTE IMMEDIATE 'comment on column BI_ETL.WE_ENROLL_SNAPSHOT_V1.'||tc.column_name||' is '||''''||c.comments||'''';
end loop;
end loop;
EXCEPTION
WHEN OTHERS THEN NULL;
end;
On lines 4 and 8 I wrapped the "comments" from sys.all_tab_comments and sys.all_col_comments with a replace command finding every chr(39) and replacing with chr(39)||chr(39). (On line 8 I also had to alias the wrapped column as "comments" so line 10 would succeed.)
Is this an issue with SQL Developer? Is there any chance that the menu-items can handle single quotes in comment strings? ... And, of course this makes me wonder which other context menu commands in the tool might have a similar issue.
Thoughts?
thanks//jacob

I know about quick drop, but it isn't helpful here. I want to be able to right click on a string or array wire, navigate to the string or array palette, and select the corresponding "Empty?" comparator. In this case, since I do actually know where those functions live, and I'm already using my mouse to right click on the wire, typing ctrl-space to open quick drop and then typing in the function name is actually more work than navigating to it in the palette. It would just be nice to have it on hand in the location I naturally go to look for it the first time.
I don't agree with this work flow. Right hand on mouse, left hand on home keys. Pressing CTRL + Space is done with the left hands, and then you could assign "ea" to "Empty Array" both of which is accessible with the left hand. Darren posted a bunch of great shortcuts for the right handed developer.

This is much faster than waiting for any right click menu navigation, even if it is found in the suggested subpalette.

My right click is not working and producing the context menu or ability to drag files and folders. I just spoke with a phone support person and we checked that all the mouse/trackpad options for right click were correct and checked.
Please can you help with this.
It has only just happened in the last few days.
Many thanks

You might want to update your profile so that we can see what model iMac you have and what version of OSX you're running.
For this question, it might help to know if you're dealing with a trackpad, Magic Mouse, or something else?
(Until your issue's resolved, you can Control-Left Click to get the right click functionality).

The drop down view by menu (Song, album, etc) at the right side of the iTunes window is like a ghost. It flashes into view for a millisecond once in awhile but never lets me click on it. Anyone know what this is about and what to do?

The drop down view by menu (Song, album, etc) at the right side of the iTunes window is like a ghost. It flashes into view for a millisecond once in awhile but never lets me click on it. Anyone know what this is about and what to do?

Short answer:
Click Hide Song(s), it is what you wanted to do...
Long answer:
iTunes in the Cloud is a feature of your iTunes store account that allows you to redownload or stream your past purchases. When you delete a purchased track that is downloaded to your computer (like the first one shown here) you are asked if you also want to hide the song from iCloud. This would remove it from the computer and also stop it showing up with the iCloud symbol as the other tracks from that album (which are not downloaded) do.
If a track shows with the cloud symbol you can play (stream) it by double-clicking the title, or click the cloud symbol to download a local copy to your library. If you try to delete one of these tracks you get a slightly different message confirming that you want to hide the track. Clicking hide will remove the listing from the library and any other device that shows your past purchases.
Should you want to retrieve any item hidden in this way at a later date use Store > View My Account > iTunes in the Cloud > Hidden Purchases > Manage.
To hide all your previous purchases that are not downloaded to your computer use Edit > Preferences > Store and untick Show iTunes in the Cloud purchases.
