Can't get rid of stubborn genres

My Genre list has become ridiculous with entries like "Business", "Interdimensional" and "131 Alpha Music" (whatever they're supposed to mean).
I know its possible to remove a genre from your list by changing all the necessary tracks' genre to something else, but even after doing that my Genre list is still littered with "131 Alpha Music" and the like. I know I don't have any tracks with those particular genres by changing the view to list by genre, and by setting up Smart Playlists.
Can anyone offer any suggestions?

I think this is the same issue, phrased another way.
I've got a lot of unused genre names in the genre dropdown list on the info page of my iTunes tracks. For instance, I put the "Ashes to Ashes" soundtrack cd onto iTunes. According to that cd, the genre for all the songs is "soundtrack." According to ME, though, "soundtrack" is a useless category so I went through and classified the individual songs by the genres that seemed to fit best. However, iTunes still considers "soundtrack" to be a viable genre and keeps it on the list. Similarly, between "classical" and "country" is "comedy," a genre of track I don't have and can't imagine myself ever getting. All in all, I now have 50 different genres listed because of situations like this, when really all I need is, maybe, ten. How do I get rid of them?
Is that what you're talking about Himinh Le? If not, and we're talking about two different things, I apologize, and I'll remove my post and start a new thread.

    I clicked on iMessage on my Macbook Pro today for the first time, and now NOTES keeps opening up every 5 seconds, with a new note.  I cannot stop it from opening. If I close it or force close, it opens again in 5 seconds.  I can't get rid of it.  I have tried to clear out the iMessage settings I had put in, and I've tried to adjust the Accounts to not include notes to synch.  But, Notes will not stop.  It opens a new note, and even if you ignore it, it assumes preference every 5 seconds, and the Mac is impossible to use.

    Do you have any Boot Camp or other secondary partitions set up on your system? If so then try running a disk verification routine (chkdsk, etc.) in Windows to repair the disk. While I've not heard of it happening recently, in the past errors in these partitions have resulted in stubborn ghost files appearing in OS X.

  • How can I get rid of pink tint in Elements 6 "Editor" ?

    How can I get rid of pink tint in Elements 6 "Editor" ?  I received Elements 6 free with a scanner. It works o.k. on my Windows XP, except whenever I go to Editor workspace, the photo turns completely pink -- no other color.  I can use the various tools on the pink, but this is useless, as I don't want a pink photo. Can't even convert it to black & white -- just stays pink. I tried everything I could think of to get a normal color transfer to editor from the organizer, but no luck.  Please help. 

    This is an update to the pink tint problem.  The problem mysteriously FIXED ITSELF today, after being stubbornly pink for weeks.  I have no idea what happened, as I didn't do anything -- it was somehow already fixed when I started the program.  So maybe it will revert again, who knows, but hoping for the best.

    I can't seem to find an app that costs my available balance. iTunes said I need to spend it ALL before I can change stores. This means I cannot totally change stores.... Hopeless.

  • Can't get rid of a TX - message keeps appearing and being processed by OSB

    I have some sort of a poison message or TX I can't flush. Every 10 seconds I get a log message like the second one below, and the number of pending messages in multiple places and OSB proxy service messages processed keep climbing - all without producing any new messages on my part. I've tried deleting the default server store on the OSB managed server and the filestore for the JMS server. No luck.
    When this first started happening, the error messages looked like the first one below. Something I did caused the change, I assume. However, it's the same TX ID throughout.
    So, first, how can I get rid of this thing? It's driving me nuts and keeping me from closing out a POC.
    Second, why is it happening? I have one suspicion - could it be because that somehow we configured mutiple domains with the same name for a distributed application? It's not my normal practice but it happened. These domains don't communicate directly, but there are domains that need to communicate with both. So I'm guessing the name ambiguity may be hurting us. Just a guess, though.
    In this case, the sgosb domain's proxy service (this domain name is unique) is receiving messages from a queue resident in the pega_domain in Singapore and another proxy service is putting a message to another queue in the pega_domain in the UK. This is not in a single TX; the first proxy service forwards the message to a queue in the sgosb_domain, the second proxy service gets that message and puts it into the other pega_domain. It's an XA TX for each proxy service.
    Just to make it more fun, the sgosb_domain has another proxy service reading from a different queue and forwarding it to a queue in the third pega_domain in the US.
    TIA for any help or insight.
    Oh yes, the OSB domain is WLS 10.3.4, while the pega_domains are WLS 10.3.2

    Tom,
    Thanks! Succinct and easy to understand as ever.
    Yup, that covers it - I had also just seen this in the docs after looking at atheek1's earlier response (thanks to him/her as well). It's covered almost as clearly there as you state it here (http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/E11035_01/wls100/jta/trxcon.html).
    While the ESB domains meet all of those requirements (except for cross-domain security configuration), each of the other two sets of domains (3 in each set) do not meet the naming uniqueness criteria for domain and server names; they do for JMS server names. I saw the store names in the TX identifier string as included resource, and assumed they might play a part - that's why I changed them. As you say, an unnecessary change. Oh well - it was an easy one.
    My normal practice has been for unique names in the past, due to problems I had years ago with cross-domain JMS traffic in an earlier WLS version. I guess it's the wrong time to have forgotten that lesson.
    Does anyone know of a quick way of changing a domain name quickly without rebuilding the domain? In the past WLST resulted in incomplete copies for me, is that still a problem? Server names are easy, just some global search-and-replace in the config.xml file (and in the management scripts, too)

    Hi there,
    It sounds like you may need to hide these purchases in the iTunes Store in order to prevent them from displaying on the Apple TV. Take a look at the article below for more information.

  • My friend's apple ID shows up when I want to update my Apps. How can I get rid of it and see my own instead?

    On my iPhone I see my friend's Apple ID when I want to update my Apps and can't seem to login with my own. What's wrong? How can I get rid off my friend's ID and login with my own when I want to update or download apps? I went to Itunes Store in Setting and checked if my ID was still there, and it is so I have no idea what's wrong.

    I'm still not clear about what you mean about unlocking your phone. Normally, "unlocking" means entering the password if the phone is locked, which you should be able to do from the phone itself. If you want more help with this, you really need to take the time to furnish all the relevant details.
    I have a MacBook Pro, and yes when I connect my iPhone on it it shows up in the devices list.
    When you do that & click on the iPhone in the list, then click on the "Apps" tab at the top, do you see the apps you can't update listed there? If you click on the "Store" menu item does it show near the bottom that you are logged in with your own Apple ID?
    As wjosten said, it sounds like one way or another, the apps you cannot update were obtained using your friend's Apple ID. You need to delete them from your phone & try buying them again. If they were in fact paid for with your own Apple ID you won't have to pay again; otherwise you will.

  • Error message can't get rid of

    When I turn my itunes on I get a error message that reads the registry used by itunes drivers for importing and burning cds and dvds are missing. This can happen as a result of installing other cd burning sortware, please reinstall itunes. I did reinstall and it didn't work. Every thing works just fine but can not get rid of this error mesage.

    I'd start with the following document, with one modification. At step 12 after typing GEARAspiWDM press the Enter/Return key once prior to clicking OK. (Pressing Return adds a carriage return in the field and is important.)

  • In Mail, one mailbox for Recovered Message (AOL) keeps showing 1 very large message that I cannot delete. How can I get rid of this recurring problem, please?

    In Mail on iMac, successfully running OS X Lion, one mailbox on My Mac for "Recovered Messages (from AOL)" keeps showing 1 very large message (more than 20 Mb) that I just cannot seem to delete. Each time I go into my In Box, the "loading" symbol spins and the message appears in the "Recovered Messages" mailbox. How can I get rid of this recurrent file, please?
    At the same time, I'm not receviving any new mails in my In Box, although, if I look at the same account on my MacBook Pro, I can indeed see the incoming mails (but on that machine I do not have the "recovery" problem).
    The help of a clear-thinking Apple fan would be greatly appreciated.
    Many thanks.

    I worked it out.
    Unhide your hidden files ( I used a widget from http://www.apple.com/downloads/dashboard/developer/hiddenfiles.html)
    Go to your HD.
    Go to Users.
    Go to your House (home)
    there should be a hidden Library folder there (it will be transparent)
    Go to Mail in this folder
    The next folder ( for me ) is V2
    Click on that and the next one will be a whole list of your mail servers, and one folder called Mailboxes
    Click on that and there should be a folder called recovered messages (server) . mbox
    Click on that there a random numbered/lettered folder -> data
    In that data folder is a list of random numbered folders (i.e a folder called 2, one called 9 etc) and in EACH of these, another numbered folder, and then a folder called messages.
    In the messages folder delete all of the ebmx (I think that's what they were from memory, sorry I forgot as I already deleted my trash after my golden moment).
    This was GOLDEN for me. Reason being, when I went to delete my "recovered file" in mail, it would give me an error message " cannot delete 2500 files". I knew it was only 1 file so this was weird. Why 2500 files? Because if you click on the ebmx files like I did, hey presto, it turned out that they were ALL THE SAME MESSAGE = 2500 times. In each of those folders in the random numbers, in their related message folder.
    Now remember - DONT delete the folder, make sure you have gone to the message folder, found all those pesky ebmx files and deleted THOSE, not the folder.
    It worked for me. No restarting or anything. And recovered file. GONE.
    Started receiving and syncing mail again. Woohoo.
    Best wishes.
