How can I organize the library under a "date of creation" file parameter?

Does anybody know if there is a way to arrange the iTunes library so that it shows up in the iTunes window with its songs organized with a “date of creation” of the file parameter? Among the “view options” there is a “date added” and “date modified” but no “date created” option. Thanks.

Yes, iTunes will "add" the file at the same time it "creates" it. In the event that for some
reason the library files are deleted or you reinstall OS X and therefore iTunes, then you will
encounter this problem. When you "add" the ripped music files that were stored in a
separate music-dedicated hard drive, these will indeed appear in the library as being
"added" that same day. I have a fairly large ripped CD collection that I started to "create" 8
years ago (first with Sound Jam and then with iTunes) and I got used to searching the music
in the library knowing that the files that were "created" 8 years ago were at the beginning
of the list and so on. When I moved from Sound Jam to iTunes in OS 9 and then to iTunes in
OS X I remember that somehow the "Date" option showed the files in the library in the same
exact order they had been "created".
Although I could delete all the songs from the library and then add each ripped file from
the iTunes Music folder back again into the library in the same order as it was "created", I
am looking for a less time consuming way of doing this.
When you click once on any file of any kind in the computer and then "Get Info", among the
information provided are "size", "created", and "modified". iTunes has included "modified"
and "size" among others but not "created" in the "View Options". I assume this is not because it is difficult to include but perhaps Apple does not find this option worthwhile.

How can I organize my photos in icloud by album as on my Mac? And, not just Collections/Events/Year?

How can I organize my photos in icloud by album as they are on my Mac in iphoto? I want to see more than just a sort by Collection/Event/year.

You'll need to wait for all these things to come out to beta testing for that kind if detailed help. But at the moment it seems that you make the Albums in your Photos.app on the Mac or iOS device and these then turn up on the Library in the Cloud. I can see no way to create albums in a web browser, and iPhoto doesn't communicate with the Library.

I installed the upgrade and now itunes can't find my library and doesn't recognize my devices. Using Windows 7. Any help?

Help!!! I installed the 10.5 update and now itunes can't find my library or recognize my devices. Running on Windows 7.

For moving your iTunes library, I recommend this method...
Assuming you use the iTunes default settings where iTunes copied added items to your iTunes folder and organizes your library (meaning - everything is all self contained in the iTunes folder), then all you have to do is drag & drop your iTunes folder (not just the iTunes Music folder you find inside the iTunes folder) to the external drive and copy the entire thing.
If you want to test that it worked or would like to actually start using it from that location instead, use these instructions when you start iTunes to point it to the new location...

http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=304447
If you are just testing, then close iTunes after you verify it works, and restart iTunes again with the same instructions and point it back to your internal drive (original) location.

Unable to Manage custom forms in Exchange 2013 Public Folders or Organizational Forms Library

We've been doing custom forms development for many years and many versions of Exchange. This Exchange 2013 presented me with this new problem. We use Exchange 2013 with Cumulative Update 5, and Outlook 2007, 2010 and 2013. This problem
happens on all versions of the latest patched Outlooks.
1) I have successfully created a Public Folder and an Organizational Forms Library
2) I have granted myself "Owner" privilege to the entire public folder in both the IPM_Subtree and the Non_IPM_Subtree
3) I can publish forms into a Public Folder and the Organizational Forms Library
But, after the form is published, I can't manage it. The COPY, UPDATE, DELETE, PROPERTIES, and SAVE AS buttons are greyed out.
This does not happen for anything in my Personal Forms, my Mailbox or anything in Favorites that are locally cached.
Since the Organizational Forms Library cannot be "Cached" by putting it in Favorites, there seems to be NO way to even delete a form that is published to there.
The closest link that describes a similar (maybe same) problem is
http://www.michev.info/Blog/Post/14/Unable-to-manage-Forms-in-Outlook
A) Anybody else have the same problem?
B) Since it seems I only have control over forms in my Mailbox, and since Public Folders are suppose to be an mailbox, does anyone know how to setup a Public Folder so that you can login to it and attach it as a mailbox?
C) Does anyone know how to make the Organizational Forms Library cached locally so it can be managed?
J Awe TechBldrs Inc. www.TechBldrs.com

Easy steps to reproduce the problem.
1) create a public folder subfolder (do not create a Favorite)
2) make yourself and OWNER
3) publish a form to the subfolder (Open a any form and save it with any name)
4) use the Form Manager select the public folder subfolder that you are an OWNER of
5) select a form and see if the buttons are GRAYED out.
PLEASE TRY THIS ON YOUR OWN SYSTEMS TO VERIFY THE PROBLEM.

Can't see backup library after accidentally deleting library

In trying to free up some hard drive space - it was almost empty - I accidentally deleted my entire iPhoto Library, emptying it from the trash. Thankfully I do back up to an external hard drive, and have moved the backed up library back to my Pictures folder. However, I cannot see the library in iPhoto, even when i Option-start the app and "Choose" that library. I only get 95 photos that i have imported since the accidental deletion and moved to that back up folder after re-copying it.
Any ideas why I can't see the Library in iPhoto even after choosing it? I'm not going to have to go through and import every photo am I? (I hope not as they are stored by year/month/day in hundreds of folders).
I would also like to know how to get this to work as I have ordered a new iMac today, and will want to choose the same Library on it too.
Thanks.

HI roger,
Navigate through the iPhoto Library folder and see if all your photos are in there. I just want to make sure that the backup library does indeed have your photos in there. If it does, and iPhoto still can't see your library, maybe a data file got messed up.
In that case, you can create a new library and import from the old very easily by following the next instructions below.
Close iPhoto
Rename your messed up iPhoto Library to "iPhoto Library_old"
Drag this library to your desktop
Hold down the Option key and launch iPhoto
This is the window you will get
Create a new library or choose a library to open
Choose to create a new library
Once this new empty library is open it is time to import the images from your old library
Go to File>add to library
Navigate to the old library on your desktop and highlight it in the window, then click the "import" button.
iPhoto will start importing the images from your old library
This is what to expect:
Your images will be imported in nice dated rolls. (make sure your view is set to sort by rolls to see it) There are a couple of caveats to this. You will get rolls named "Originals" These rolls will contain your video clips and your original images that you had edited. If you had RAW files they would be in those rolls too (I don't do RAW, so I don't know for sure) Delete what you don't want from those rolls. You will also get the jpeg pointer files to your video clips imported. They will just be jpegs and will not point to the video clips anymore as iPhoto made new ones when the clips were imported again. You can delete those. they should be in a roll right next to the newly imported video clips so they are not hard to find. The thumbnail files don't get imported as iPhoto makes new ones when the images are imported.
Once all you images have been imported, check through the library and make sure everything looks ok.
You can now start making your Albums, and do your keywords or any other organizational steps.
You can also delete the old library on the desktop.
It is also a good time to backup this new library to CD/DVD by burning the iPhoto LIbrary folder in the Finder, or copying the iPhoto Library folder to an external drive formatted for Macs, or copying the iPhoto LIbrary folder to an iPod.
Good luck!

Songs are triple, quadriple copies,how to i organize my library?

Windows 8 64x iTunes 7.0.3 iPhone 5c
I am having a problem in my iTunes library. All the songs that was copied from my hard drive to the iTunes library was quadriple copies. I am tired of deleting them and I dont time any more. How can I organize it and save only one copy each? HELP!

Ah yes, possibly a case of "Well, if I were you, I wouldn't start from here..."
For myself I use some of the basic structure of the iTunes Media folder, but have additional folders for certain content, e.g. Classical, Comedy, Soundtracks, Various Artists and my main music folder is also sub-divided into letters of the alphabet. I also use longer filenames than iTunes own limit of 40 characters. I have the option of drilling down to material and playing it from within Windows Explorer with a variety of suitable players, or within iTunes, using search and other features to quickly locate and play what I want. I use smart playlists to automatically update content on my devices.
If you don't need to use iTunes then ignore it, but if you want to use Apple's devices then you'll probably want to get to grips with it eventually. You don't have to let it move any of your files around, or copy them, but it can only access files that have been added to the library, and it will only make sense of those files in terms of tag properties, not file paths. I can't see how it does any harm to add tag information to your tracks, bar the investment of time. iTunes doesn't automatically refresh its knowledge of the metadata so if you need to use a third party tagging tool use it before you add the media to iTunes. For more information on how the tags affect organization see Grouping tracks into albums.

What will happen to the organization of library if I removed the songs from windows explorer? Will iTunes automatically updated without all the deleted songs, or it will indicate 'missing location'? Any fast ways to clear this 'missing location' songs?

What will happen to the organization of library if I removed the songs from windows explorer?
Background: I found it easier to identify duplicated songs in windows explorer as the songs will be renamed .... 1.mp3, thus enabling me to remove the duplicated songs; unlike in iTunes where I know the trick of showing duplicate songs, but you don't know which one is the one with 1 at the end of the file name.
Will iTunes automatically update the library without all the deleted songs, or will it indicate 'missing location' songs? Any fast ways to clear this 'missing location' songs by highlighting them all and delete all at one go?
Thanks.

One way is to use iTunes Folder Watch with its option to check for dead tracks on start up.
Another option is with a set of Lost & Found playlists.
Lost & Found
Create a playlist called Found, select everything in Music and drag it into the Found playlist. Create a smart playlist called Lost matching All the rules Playlist is Music and Playlist is not Found. Your lost tracks will be in this playlist. You can delete them all with a Ctrl-A to select them and Shift-Delete to remove them.
You can then delete the Lost & Found playlists.

My 2007 public folders are only used for Organizational Forms Library

I have migrated all of our users from Exchange 2007 to Exchange 2013 and in order to complete the migration we need to put our Outlook Organizational Forms Library on the new server, which I understand is stored in public folders. We do not
need anything in our existing single public folder. We have just one Outlook form and I can recreate it, but it won't let me create a new public folder on my new Exchange 2013 server because it says that there is an existing Public Folder deployment
detected. I don't really need to migrate anything, but I can't seem to go forward until the server thinks it doesn't need migration. How do I do that?

So, I have this problem since I updated iTunes to version 9 (and sup.) and iPhone OS to version 3 (and sup.).
I can enter the code on iTunes, then after telling me I can remote control my iTunes from my iPhone, I cannot connect and allways have the same message "can't find the library".
What I've already done :
completely reinstall my computer
deactivate Windows firewall and Base Filtering Engine, then restart it
deactivate my router firewall
deactivate any filter on my router, then reboot it
delete Remote from my iPhone, reboot it, then reinstall Remote, and reboot again
activate library share on iTunes
activate public folders share on Windows
remove sim card to be sure to use wifi, and only wifi
enter the 4 digits code on iTunes (worked)
still the same message on iPhone : can't find the library
I've seen many posts saying that the computer needs to been wifi connected, and not via Ethernet. Is it true ??? It perfectly worked with older versions of these programs, why would Apple have made a change like this ??
Anyone with an idea?

You may very well have damaged your library - or even your system by not having adaquate storage available
And never select all of the pitcture and move them - that will destroy your library - the iPhotolibrary is a SQLite database and must always be kept intact as a single entity -
Moving the iPhoto library is safe and simple - quit iPhoto and drag the iPhoto library intact as a single entity to the external drive - depress the option key and launch iPhoto using the "select library" option to point to the new location on the external drive - fully test it and then trash the old library on the internal drive (test one more time prior to emptying the trash)
And be sure that the External drive is formatted Mac OS extended (journaled) (iPhoto does not work with drives with other formats) and that it is always available prior to launching iPhoto
And backup soon and often - having your iPhoto library on an external drive is not a backup and if you are using Time Machine you need to check and be sure that TM is backing up your external drive
