Broken: Copy & Resizable Columns

In iTunes store I used to be able to copy track information by selecting a track and typing cmd-C. This was useful for a number of reasons, the two most used by me were correcting ripped CD information quickly -- particularly with classical tracks where the titles and track names have no real quality control -- to make it match the iTunes database (that makes getting cover information much easier); and sending information to people (including Apple support) in emails.
Now I can't do that. This would be a minor inconvenience were it not for the disappearance of resizable columns. Before, a work around would be to open the CD information in a separate window, rearrange my windows so that I can see everything, and simply eyeball everything (I can touch type so while that's a hassle, it wasn't impossible).
Unfortunately, that doesn't work now either. The columns are fixed in width meaning many classical tracks have long titles that start with the same text (like Symphony No. 3 "Poem of Ecstasy" or "Concerto for Two Violins and Orchestra") that runs over into the non-visible part of the column. The only way to read the entirety of what's there is to hover the mouse over the visible text. This is impossible to do while typing in another window because it only works while the store window is active.
Thanks, Apple. You've opted for style over substance again, only this time it doesn't work.

Byron,
I think I have a better answer for you.
When you are on the Home screen of the iTunes Store click the Browse in the QuickLinks on the upper right of the screen.
You will then be switched into the conventional iTunes bowser where I think you'll find you can copy and paste track information as you have in the past.
Give it a try.

  • How to resize column width in report?

    hi all,
    i read somewhere here that in order to resize column width in a report, you need to go to report attributes, then edit the column you wish to resize and then go to the CSS Style and place something like "width=600px". while this works very well in Internet Explorer, it somehow has no effect in Firefox 3.0. is there a way to make it work both browsers?
    thanks
    allen

    Hi,
    Sorry, I misunderstood. There are several methods you could use:
    1 - Use the span tags around the data itself - this would require adding the tags into the sql statement itself
    2 - Use javascript to set the column widths by adding a style to the TD tags for each cell
    3 - Create a new Report Template and use COL tags immediately after the TABLE tag in the Before Rows section to specify the widths of all columns
    Option 3 may be the easiest?

  • How to copy a column value in to a variable in Dataflow task?

    Hi All,
    I want to copy a column value to a variable inside the data flow task. Which is the best way to achieve it in SSIS?
    Thanks,
    Sri

    Unless its a conditional based query which returns a single value it doesnt make sense to store result in a variable.
    If query resultset has multiple values then you cant store them in a variable unless its of type object. The easiest way to store values in that case to object variable is by using execute sql task and then setting resultset option as full resultset. Once
    stored you can use for each loop with ado enumerator or script task to iterate through values of resultset.
    Perhaps you could give us some idea on what you're trying to achieve

  • Resizing columns and making multiple selections in Pages 5.0

    Using Pages 5.0 (using OS X), I am no longer able to resize columns in a table by dragging a selection handle as I could in the old Pages (2009, I think it was). Dragging now adds the adjacent column to the selection. Anyone know how to resize the columns by dragging?
    Also, in the previous Pages, I could select multiple noncontiguous words by holding down the command key. Doesn't work anymore. Does anyone know how to do that?

    Apple has removed 90+ features from Pages5:
    http://www.freeforum101.com/iworktipsntrick/viewforum.php?f=22&mforum=iworktipsn trick
    Pages '09 should still be in your Applications/iWork folder:
    http://www.freeforum101.com/iworktipsntrick/viewtopic.php?t=432&mforum=iworktips ntrick
    Trash/Archive Pages 5 after exporting any Pages 5 files back to Pages '09 format.
    Then rate/review Pages 5 in the App Store.

  • Resize columns in Pages for iPad?

    Is there a way to resize columns in a multi-column document in Pages for iPad? I want a narrow left column and a wider right column. I can kinda get the effect by using a table, but it'd be easier to just adjust the column widths. Is this possible, and if so, how?

    Hi Adarga,
    I'm not seeing a way to resize the columns and the Help doesn't mention it either. I'm just able to change the indents and "margins" within the columns, but the columns stay the same size.

  • Feature Request "Copy of column-name" in 2.1.1 not working

    Scanning all the feature requests added to 2.1.1, i came across to the following one:
    Title: Copy of column-name
    Description:
    after getting the query result it would be greate if we can mark the column-name and the copy the name of the column to the clipboard for further use (e.g. select colum_name from table ...)
    Comment:
    Try 2.1.1. You can drag a selection of columns to the worksheet. If not, then please provide more detail in future request.
    Status: In Release 2.1.1 ;
    Now i've tried few times to drag the column from the query result into the worksheet but it doesn't work. The only thing which works is to change the columns orders in the grid result.
    Anybody experience the same result?
    Dani

    @Raghu
    I'm already aware of this and it's working but the downside is that it copies the cell value too which i don't see the point.
    If i want the cell values than i can export or copy them.
    The request description was different though.
    @K
    Unfortunately you can't drag the column name from the navigator or result grid. Would be nice if it would.
    Is anything else i can do to get this fix or are you gonna raise a CQ for this?
    Regards,
    Dani

  • How to copy one column BLOB value into another column of another database.

    How to copy one column BLOB value into another column of another database.
    BLOB value contains word document.
    I thought of copy the BLOB value into a text file and then update the new column value by the same text in textfile. Will this work?
    Is there any other better way to do this?

    You're welcome
    BLOB fields contains binary data. I don't think you can do this
    Also if I view the BLOB as text. Can I copy it and insert into the new database.
    I think your options are as I said. Datapump or CTAS
    Best Regards

  • Resizing columns in iTunes 10

    I've noticed some strange behavior in iTunes 10 regarding the resizing of displayed columns in List view. It appears that I can resize any displayed column in my main library, with exception to the immovable 1st column (the "currently playing or paused" column) or the checkmark column. This is fine.
    The problem comes when I try to resize columns on an attached iPod. I can resize some columns, but not all ... that makes no sense! For instance, with my current settings, the optional displayed list view columns for my iPod are (currently in this order):Artist, Track #, Time, Album, Date Added, Size, Kind, Bit Rate, and Rating. In addition to these, there are the 3 default columns: the song order/play status column, and the Name column. I can't resize any of the default columns, nor can I resize these columns: Date Added, Kind, Rating, or Size.
    Also, you should be able to resize the columns in the Column Browser, but you can't do that in either the main library OR an iPod library.

    While viewing your iPod Library, try opening View Options (on my Mac, it's Cmd-J). Uncheck the columns you can't resize, and click OK. Those columns should disappear. Open View Options again, and recheck them. See if you are now able to resize them. This procedure worked for me on iTunes 9.2.1.

  • Disable sorting and resizing columns on table view

  • Explain plan needs resize columns best-fit

    Is there an easy way to resize columns in the explain plan grid? They are difficult to resize if the values in them are long, especially the access and filter columns at the end.

    There is only one way to resize these right now (and thats the one you are using).

  • Can't resize column to fit text

    Can't resize column to fit text in numbers.  option is "grayed-out" no matter what I do

    It is either a glitch or a rather unfun new thing. No one knows for sure. You do have a bit more control if you go into your photos app, find your photo and tap on the little box with the arrow poking out of it. That allows you to send it to be wallpaper. You can do some scaling, although not as much as you used to.
    Finding work arounds is about all you can do until it's fixed.

  • Copying TEXT column from flat file into SQL results in empty fields....

    I'm copying TEXT column from SQL to Flat file (ragged right fixed width) - DT_TEXT. It copies fine and I''ve checked the output file. Now, while trying to copy the flat file to sql server in another system. I find all the fields are empty.
    When I preview the source from flatfile, I see all the entries there. But it copies other fields but the field with DT_TEXT  is empty.
    This is when I preview
    SQL Table output
    Any help will be helpful!!!

    Hi, I'm not sure If I'm understanding what you're saying. The data got copied from SQL to Flat file. I've double checked the flat file and I see the DT_TEXT data there. The size of file also gives an indication that there's existence of TEXT Data
    But, when I copy that data back to sql again (which I can also preview before the load), The DT_TEXT values goes missing. Same when I copy to Excel as CSV or as a Flat file. I don't see text data.
    The TEXT data resides on the first output. But when I try to extract to other format from that output, it doesn't come out.

  • JTable user resize columns with grid?

    Is it possible to allow a user to resize columns not just through the table header, but with the vertical grid lines?

    There is no method that allows you to toggle this
    feature on/off if thats what you are asking.Yes, thats what I was asking.
    If you want to implement this type of functionality
    yourself then take a look at the source code for
    JTableHeader to see how its done.Thanks, I'll look into that - though it would be cool if that was already a feature of JTable.

  • Resize column width for JTable without column headers?

    Hi,
    I find that for me to resize columns of a JTable by using
    mouse dragging, I MUST have column headers and then drag
    column headers to resize them. Is my understanding correct?
    Actually, I need to have a table without header columns.
    How can I use mouse to resize column width by dragging?
    The background for this request is that I am putting a
    complex table as another table's column header and I hope to
    be able to resizing the complex table by mouse dragging.
    Thanks very much,
    David

    Hi,
    I think you have mistake there. Try
    <style type="text/css">
    table.apexir_WORKSHEET_DATA td {
    white-space:nowrap !important;
    td[headers="DESCR"] {
    width:300px !important;
    max-width:300px !important;
    #apexir_DESCR {
    width:10px;
    max-width:300px !important;
    </style>And you can try add
    table.apexir_WORKSHEET_DATA {
    width: 100% !important;
    table-layout: fixed !important;
    }Regards,

  • I can't get adobe reader x to copy a column with the alt key, can someone help me.

    I can't get adobe reader x to copy a column with the alt key, can someone help me.

    Hello Pat,
    Thank you for getting back to me.  I have a table with columns in it and I’m trying to copy just one of the columns, think of it as a stock table you would get in a newspaper and I just want to copy the column that has all the symbols in it.  I use to be able to do this with no problem in previous versions of Adobe Reader by just putting my cursor next to the column I wanted, holding down the Alt key and selecting the data I wanted .  But with the new version that came with my new laptop running Window 8.0 I can not  accomplish this task.  Adobe Reader wants to copy everything in the table.  I would take a screen shot to show you, but when I open Reader, it takes over my entire screen and I can not get back to my task bar or desktop without closing the app.  If you could also tell me how to correct or adjust this annoyance I would appreciate it.   Needless to say I’m not currently a big fan of the new version of Reader.  Is there any way I can go back to a previous version of the product with Windows 8 as my OS?
    Thanks you for your help with this,
    Ed
