Can I edit the list of Genres?

I have a LOT of music on my Mac, and use iTunes to manage it.
Over several years, the Genre List has grown incredibly bloated, including many duplicates w/ spelling errors and variations.
Is there a way to edit this list?

3 years later, and this is still a problem.  It's so clear that the primary use case for itunes is selling music, and not managing a music library (or at best passively accepting whatever genres the content providers wish to push).
For all its defects, Windows Media Player, circa 2005 was a great content management system for managing music - you could drag (or shift-select) and drop anything to shift genres, albums, artists.  (WMP ***** now)  All iTunes allows you to do is add to playlists, everything else is the tedious Get Info dialog.
And I just want a text list, I hate having to look at thumbnails for everything.  I don't know or care what the album cover looks like, but clearly the marketing weasels at the record labels made it a requirement that you have to look at the stupid cover art even though that makes it incredibly difficult to scan a list or sort.

  • Can I edit the list of words that are suggested when texting?

    When inputting letters into the keyboard, suggested words appear when the word is incomplete or misspelled. 
    Can one edit the list of words that the computer (Iphone 4S) retrieves from?
    Thanks!

    No, the list isn't directly editable.  However, if you reject the suggestion by tapping the "x" it will eventually learn the original word you typed and stop suggesting alternatives.

  • Editing the drop down Genre list when identifying and categorizing music

    How do you edit the list? I want to delete a duplicate entry I made by mistake.

    If you edit/delete all the tracks with the Genre entry in question, you should see the change reflected in the Genre panel of the Browser display (with the exception of iTunes' standard default genres).

  • How can I edit the SamAccountName column from the list or be able to edit it?

    Hello,
    In my view for a SharePoint list, I see three columns for SamAccountName.  This list is for listing staff as a directory, so there are phone numbers, names, emails addresses, division, department and such.  The  SamAccountName
    column for some people has incorrect username or is blank.  When I edit a record in the list, the SamAccountName column is not available to edit. 
    How can I edit the SamAccountName column from the list or be able to edit it?
    I do have user profiles working and importing profiles from AD, but the list still shows empty or incorrect SamAccountName for some records.

  • In the topmost Firefox menu with File,Edit,View,History,Bookmarks, I can not get the list of bookmarks to display as they did before. The Bookmarks menu does not open up into the list of bookmarks.

    I am running Mac os 10.6.8 and Firefox 6.0.1 on a MacBook Pro and on a desktop Macintosh.
    The large computer displays a list of bookmarks when you click on the uppermost Bookmarks menu.
    The MacBook Pro displays the following when you click on the Bookmarks word in the top menu:
    "Show all Bookmarks, Bookmark this Page, Bookmark all Tabs and an icon with a blue dot next to Bookmarks Toolbar with an arrow to the right and below that it says Unsorted Bookmarks.
    There is no display of the list of bookmarks from which I can chose as I do on the larger desktop macintosh computer.
    How can I get the list of bookmarks to show as a list when I click the Bookmarks menu?

    A possible cause is a problem with the file places.sqlite that stores the bookmarks and the history.

  • How to edit the list box items in labwindow/​CVI?

     how to edit the list box items in labwindow/CVI?

    Listbox items cannot be edited directly in the control: what you can do is to select a line an, transfer its content to a textbox control, edit text there and move text back to the listbox control. Available interactions with the listbox control are listed in the help.
    An alternative to it is to use a tree customized to appear like a listbox: tree item labels can be edited directly in the control, at least those in the base column of the tree. You can look at the example \samples\userint\treelist.cws that shows how a tree can be customized this way. I haven't opened it, but this old example too should show the ability to edit tree cells.
    Proud to use LW/CVI from 3.1 on.

  • In iTunes I click on a song and when I click on the "get info" tab, it opens up but everything is gray - locked, therefore, I cannot edit the year or genre of the songs. Not every song is locked, only certain ones for some reason. Any help?

    In iTunes I click on a song and when I click on the "get info" tab, it opens up but everything is gray - locked, therefore, I cannot edit the year or genre of the songs. Not every song is locked, only certain ones for some reason. Any help?

    I ran into the same problem, I think that, If you tab on a song that is on your IPOD, and the song data is grayed-out, I think it means that the song is probably twice on your IPOD and that the iTunes directory can not edit THAT song data for two (or more) files @once. Check if this is the case, sinceI have the same problem,am looking for a way to have One and the same song in more playlists but only keep the song once on the IPOD.

  • How can I edit the password entries?

    How can I edit the values in password manager? Right now for at least one site has the username instead of the password.

    Note that your System Details List shows that you have a user.js file in the profile folder to initialize some prefs on each start of Firefox with a possible feed.snapdo.com infection.
    The user.js file is only present if you or other software has created it, so normally it wouldn't be there.
    You should check its content with a plain text editor if you didn't create this file yourself.
    The user.js file is read each time you start Firefox and initializes preferences to the value specified in this file, so preferences set via user.js can only be changed temporarily for the current session.

  • Can you edit the legend of a pie chart?

    Hi,
    Here we are again...
    We use a BI query to get a list of activities and their status. I want to display this in a pie chart. So for example:
    We get a list of 20 activities and there are 15 activities with status "A" and 5 with status "B". I can perfectly display this within the pie chart. (We get a pie chart which is 75% blue and 25% red).
    My question: How can I edit the legend so that it doesn't say [blue] = "A" and [red] = "B", but for example [blue] = "Open" and [red] = "Completed".
    Is this possible at all with VC 7.0? Thanks in advance.
    Best regards,
    Jan Laros

    Hi Fabien,
    That could be a solution, but it is kind of dirty...
    I find it very odd that there is not a standard way of editing the legend labels.

  • HT1420 How can I see the list of authorized devices?

    I recently had problems with my computer and in the middle of that, it said that iTunes was no longer working. I uninstalled it and then later reinstalled it once I figured out what was wrong with my computer. Now when I opened iTunes under the same username, it is not showing my songs. It is also saying that I have to authorize the computer yet says I am at my limit of 5. How can I see the list of devices so that I can edit it?

    There's none accessible from your end. If needed, use the Deauthorize All function.

  • Can I edit the size of my photo when setting up an email signature?

    Can I edit the size of my photo when setting up an email signature?

    Not sure what you mean by "photo screen?" Do you mean your Photo Stream?
    In the Photos app there are several ways to view the photos. Tap on Albums. Your Photo Stream is one Album but there may be others including the Camera Roll, albums made on the iPad with photos from the Camera Roll, and albums of photos copied to your iPhone by syncing with your computer.
    To remove albums from the Camera Roll, tap on the Camera Roll album to see the small thumbnails of the photos there. Tap on Select, tap on the photos to delete, then tap on the trashcan. The photos will then be moved to another album called Recently Deleted. They remain there for 30 days to allow you time to reconsider whether you really want to delete them or not. After 30 days they will automatically be deleted from your iPhone. But if you are sure you want the photos deleted from your iPhone delete them again from the Recently Deleted album.
    Albums created on the iPad with photos from the Camera Roll can be deleted in the same way.
    To delete albums copied to your iPhone by syncing with your computer running iTunes are deleted by doing another sync. But before you click on Sync deselect the albums in iTunes. Then when you click on Apply or Sync the albums will be removed from your iPhone but they will remain on your computer.

  • Can you limit the list of AirPlay devices seen on the iPad if multiple devices exist?

    We are setting up a school to use iPads, Apple Tvs and Projectors in classrooms.
    - Teachers are using iPads in classrooms and we are setting up wireless projection using AirPlay.
    - Each classroom has an Airport Express with a unique WiFi name.
    - Each classroom has a projector with an Apple TV mounted on it and each Apple TV has a unique AirPlay name.
    - An iPad and the AppleTV are the only two devices on each classroom’s wifi.
    - When a teacher wants to mirror iPad to the projector, we thought they would just see their own AppleTv (projector) but, I think because the underlying school network is the same in each classroom, the teacher sees every device in the school.
    Question:  If you have multiple AirPlay devices on the same network, can you limit the list that one sees on an iPad?
    And/or: Is there a way to set up the wifi differently so the teacher is not presented with a huge list of devices?

    I wish teachers like you would leave technology you don't understand alone. The fact you were allowed to plug-in "consumer grade" access points into a enterprise network says a lot about your lack of knowledge; next you want to turn all of these low end access points into routers!? Your going configure a unique SSID on every AP setup each device to only connect to that network? Do you have any consent of wireless networks? Management?
    It's teachers like you that bring down a network. Then you insult the very IT staff that work in a very thankless position in which most of their interaction occurs when something doesn't work.

  • Can I edit the rpt file & change the datasource before loading the report?

    We are an ISV and our application has a lot of reports.  Our reports use a SQL Server database as the data source and each SQL Server at our customer sites has a different name.
    In our testing we have determined that ReportDocument.Load tries to connect to the SQL Server that is saved in the RPT.  If it can't fine the SQL Server saved in the RPT the load take about 60 seconds while it is waiting for the SQL Server Connection to time out.
    We are using the Visual Studio 2008 version of Crystal Reports.  This did not seem to be a problem with VB6/CR8.5.
    We would like to edit the RPT and change the data source to the appropriate SQL Server before we call ReportDocument.Load.
    Is it possible to edit the rpt file and change the data source before loading the report?
    Or is there some way to tell Crystal not to try connecting to the DB
    during the report.load?
    In our case we will NEVER use the data source that is saved in the RPT, we will always change the data source using ApplyLogOnInfo.
    Thanks

    HI Todd,
    You Can Not edit the report document before ReportDocument.Load() because if you dont load the report then you dont have anything to Edit
    But as far as changing the datasource is concerned you can change that at runtime.
    For changing the datasource following code will help you if both databases have a same schema :
    Code for changing the database
    ConnectionInfo crConnectionInfo = new ConnectionInfo();
    crConnectionInfo.ServerName = "SERVER";
    crConnectionInfo.DatabaseName = "DATABASE";
    crConnectionInfo.UserID = "USERID";
    crConnectionInfo.Password = "PASSWORD";
    // Loop through the ReportObjects in a report and find all the subreports
    foreach(ReportObject crReportObject in crReportDocument.ReportDefinition.ReportObjects)
         // Check the kind of the ReportObject, if it is a subreport
         // proceed. If not skip.
         if(crReportObject.Kind == ReportObjectKind.SubreportObject)
              // Get the SubReport in the form of a ReportDocument
              string sSubreportName = ((SubreportObject)crReportObject).SubreportName;
              ReportDocument crSubReportDocument = crReportDocument.OpenSubreport(sSubreportName);
              // Use a loop to go through all the tables in the main report
              foreach(Table crTable in crSubReportDocument.Database.Tables)
    // Get the TableLogOnInfo from the Table and then set the new
    // ConnectionInfo values.
    TableLogOnInfo crLogOnInfo = crTable.LogOnInfo;
    crLogOnInfo.ConnectionInfo = crConnectionInfo;
    // Apply the TableLogOnInfo
    crTable.ApplyLogOnInfo(crLogOnInfo);
    // Set the location of the database. This value will vary from database to
    // database.
    crTable.Location = "DATABASE.OWNER.TABLENAME" or crTable.Locations;
    The sample for doing this is available on support site.
    Thanks,
    Prasad
