Best way to insert missing info (in playlist or main library)

Hi, i am just new to the iTunes program. I have a lot of downloaded songs with missing info (ie. album etc). We are using two dif ipods and have set up two different playlists to separate the music.
My question is this: when i edit the missing info of a track, should i be doing it in the main library or in my playlist, or does it matter.
I am thinking that when i make changes in the main library then i may have to re-add it to my playlist...or if i enter the missing info from the playlist view that it won't make the changes in the main library and thus keep my files organized into the right folders.
Sorry for the ramble. Hope someone can help.

A playlist is simply a list of songs. It is not the songs themselves.
A playlist is simply a pointer to the song itself.
If you "edit" in the playlist, it open the songs file.

  • What's the best way to store my info externally

    I have recently bought my first Macbook Pro 13" with 2.4 Ghz. I am currently using it for my own business and do tend to get a lot of files together. I went to look at "About this Mac" and have already got 369 Gb used up in storage... I have no idea how I have done that as I have hardly downloaded any apps on this computer besides the ones that were on here. I did download Vware Fusion 4 as I have a reservation system which I used to run on my pc and need to have this on here too so perhaps that software takes a lot of space.
    Could anyone advise on which is the best way to store my info externally, will any external harddrive do, or do you need a special one for Apple or Macbook pro. I am just asking as I have no idea and prefer to buy the right one straight away.
    Any help would be much appreciated !
    Thanks, Sara***

    Sara,
    The most reliable method is to use an external hard drive.  Some are better than others, but most will work.
    For the least amount of setup pain, I prefer to deal with the Mac specialists at OWC, http://www.macsales.com as they stand behind their products with great warranty and support.  I have one of their Mercury Elite Pro 2 TB drives that has multiple interface capability so you can get a fast interface for data transfer.
    Take a look at what they offer and see what fits your needs.  If you have more questions about doing thin, just ask on here.

  • In Acrobat Professional 8, what is the best way to insert/combine multiple pdf's together in a large

    In Acrobat Professional 8, what is the best way to insert/combine multiple pdf's together in a large volume?
    We have 300 pdf reports and need to insert a 2 page cover page infront of each report. Not sure if Batch processing is best???
    Thanks for any tips.

    Probably each cover page is different too. I would probably just bite the bullet and do each individually. I would create the 2 cover pages in WORD or other word processor and print to cover.pdf. Then open a PDF and Pages>Insert Pages or the cover.pdf to the front of the open PDF and save as to the current PDF. Then repeat 299 times. Each time you would make the appropriate change to the DOC file and print a new cover.pdf file (you might want to turn off open in Acrobat for this processing in the printer properties to save time). Probably a good idea to keep a list of the files to check off what has been done (you can generate a list in DOS by Start>cmd, change the directory to your location [cd path], and do "dir >>list.txt". That will give you a list to use.). There may be an easier way, but by the time you get it figured out you might be done this way.

  • Best way to insert 300dpi photo's into Ilustrator file for print

    I am creating a 5.5 X 8 postcard style card for print.  I need to place 15 photographs that are aprox. 1.5 X 2.5 each.  What is the best way to insert these files so that my file doesn't become too large?  I will be making a PDF of the final artwork to send to the printer.  Your guidance is much appreciated!!

    Link don't embed the images. Use a layered format such as .psd, .tif, or .pdf. Psd is not lossy, .tif can be lossy if you modify the default settings, .pdf you choose how much compression you want, and a small amount of compression can make a much smaller file size.
    I would recomend using .psd, in cmyk color space. When you make your pdf for printing is when you will decide how much compression and which pdf preset you will use(press ready or PDF X should be a good choice). That will be your important choice.

    Yep you link in now fixed. what most likely happed is when you click on Link tool in the forum, when window open the http:// is already in the window. Most likely you clicked at the beginning of the http and pasted your link.
    I always when this window open triple click on the http:// so everything is selected, then hit Delete (I use Mac - PC it would be backspace) so window is completely empty then I paste the link.

  • What is the best way to protect my info in case my iPad is stolen

    Ideas for the best way to protect my info I'd my iPad is stolen or lost?

    I also had my iPad stolen, and thats when other troubles started! I received an email on my PC stating that my iTunes password had been reset.  The thief had done this!  So I rang the Apple help line to ask what to do. they said just reset the password, and as the thief couldnt access my emails it would be okay,,the Apple emails also suggested this.   But that was the issue that stupid me hadnt realised!!! As the iPad was receiving my emails the the thief could easily reset the iTunes password , and download muic and videos on my credit card on iTunes!!         As happened to me.
    Apple does not warn you of this possibility, even when i spoke to their Help line. And searched their website for advice
           So, my advice is, Do Not store your email password on your iPad, and  maybe, do not leave your credit card details with iTunes? An irritation I know! If you have not done these things, then if your iPad is stolen then immediately change your email password, and stop your iTunes credit card.
         Probably iTunes need a safer way to change passwords, like an sms code to allow password changes, as relying on emails is not safe, as the thief will frequently be receiving those emails too!!!

  • Best way to insert millions of records into the table

    Hi,
    Performance point of view, I am looking for the suggestion to choose best way to insert millions of records into the table.

    Its Distributed data. No. of clients and N no. of Transaction data fetching from the database based on the different conditions and insert into another transaction table which is like batch process.Sounds contradictory.
    If the source data is already in the database, it is centralised.
    In that case you ideally do not want the overhead of shipping that data to a client, the client processing it, and the client shipping the results back to the database to be stored (inserted).
    It is must faster and more scalable for the client to instruct the database (via a stored proc or package) what to do, and that code (running on the database) to process the data.
    For a stored proc, the same principle applies. It is faster for it to instruct the SQL engine what to do (via an INSERT..SELECT statement), then pulling the data from the SQL engine using a cursor fetch loop, and then pushing that data again to the SQL engine using an insert statement.
    An INSERT..SELECT can also be done as a direct path insert. This introduces some limitations, but is faster than a normal insert.
    If the data processing is too complex for an INSERT..SELECT, then pulling the data into PL/SQL, processing it there, and pushing it back into the database is the next best option. This should be done using bulk processing though in order to optimise the data transfer process between the PL/SQL and SQL engines.
    Other performance considerations are the constraints on the insert table, the triggers, the indexes and so on. Make sure that data integrity is guaranteed (e.g. via PKs and FKs), and optimal (e.g. FKs should be indexes on the referenced table). Using triggers - well, that may not be the best approach (like for exampling using a trigger to assign a sequence value when it can be faster done in the insert SQL itself). Personally, I avoid using triggers - I rather have that code residing in a PL/SQL API for manipulating data in that table.
    The type of table also plays a role. Make sure that the decision about the table structure, hashed, indexed, partitioned, etc, is the optimal one for the data structure that is to reside in that table.

  • Best way to extract this info?

    Hello:
    I have information stored in xmltype as follows:
    <INFO>
    <ASG>
    <LMT id="A1">
    <LMT_VAL>7</LMT_VAL>
    </LMT>
    <LMT id="B1">

    </LMT>
    </ASG>
    </INFO>
    The above info may be dynamic. Example, for some types, There may be additional LMT element with a value of C1 and D1. So what is the best way to extract all of them (A1, B1, C1, D1) - even though in some cases only A1 and B1 may be present?
    Do I have to extract like:
    select ...
    where
    t1.xml.col.extract('/INFO/ASG/LMT/LMT_VAL/@id').getStringVal() = 'A1'
    Do I have a condition like this where ... = A1
    Any help appreciated.

  • Best way to insert pages from a document to another

    Hi everybody,
    I need to append/insert pages from a InDesign CS4 document to another one with all the content that may be present in page.
    What is the best way to implement that? I didn't find anything similar to kAddDocToBookCmdBoss.
    The optimum would be to have something like kAddPageToDocCmdBoss for better granularity.
    Thanks a lot in advance to anybody who will express his opinion.
    Luca Severini

    The Pages panel flyout menu has a "Move Pages..." action / dialog.
    It fires off several commands:
    kCreatePageFromPageCmdBoss
    cmd target is the target document
    UIDList is the source kSpreadBoss.
    IID_ILAYOUTCMDDATA document is the target doc again.
    followed by kMoveSpreadCmdBoss and kShufflePagesCmdBoss.

  • Best way to insert in a table througth a database link

    Hi all,

  • The best way to insert values in a Nested Table

    Hi!
    I want to insert values from a SQL-query in a Nested Table.What's the best way to do it?
    In addition,the only way that I've found is doing a query and when I've got the query result I insert it into the Nested Table.For instance:
    FOR cur_row IN (SELECT id,nstreet from example Where id=3) LOOP
    --here I'm inserting the values of the query in the nested table.
    -- VarNestedTable is a Nested Table of Row_Type.
    --Row_Type is an object with two fields:Id,Nstreet
    VarNestedTable.extend;
    VarNestedTable(Coincidents.Last):= Row_type(cur_row.id,cur_row.nstreet);
    END LOOP;
