If you click where the name would start, it'll open a box to type in.

  • Can you change the year of all songs in an album without changing the year of the album?

    Hi everyone,
    I was wondering if it is possible to change the year of all the songs within an album while keeping the year of the album. This is particularly relevant in 'Compliation' or 'Best of' albums, where all the years the songs were produced is different o the year the album was produced.
    Foe example, The Beatles' best of album '1' was created in 2000, but all of the songs were from 1963-70. In iTunes, the album is listed as being released in the year 2000, which is correct, but all of the songs are listed as being released in 2000, too, which is incorrect. However, when I change all of the individual songs to their correct year in which they were created, the year of the album also changes to that of the first song on that album. In short, either the album year is correct but all the song years are incorrect OR the album year is wrong but all the song years are right.
    Does anyone kinow if there is anyway to change this or get around this?
    Many thanks!

    None at all. If you'd like them to consider it you'll need to use the feedback link I gave above.
    A long standing bug bear for some is not being able to correctly sort two albums released in the same year by the same band. Having both copyright date and release date would (if implemented properly) give the option to sort, or filter tracks on either date as required.
    iTunes is a database of tracks. Albums don't really exist separately. There are a few collective properties. Year can have a separate value in each track but obviously only one value can (or at least should) be used when sorting as Album by Artist/Year. If you change the album rating of a single track in iTunes (which can be done with a script) iTunes automatically updates all the others to match.

  • Can you change the time gap in songs with iPhone

    I really want to change the time gap in between each I my songs on my iPhone 4 but I don't know if I can or even how so if anyone can help :)

    What "once a day" really means is "every twenty four hours starting from the last time they were updated". Just manually update them tomorrow morning and you should find that the time has changed.

  • How can I change the order in which songs appear in my iTunes Music Library?

    How can I change the order in which songs appear in my iTunes Music Library?

    Kay,
    If you are looking at the entire music library ("Music") you can sort by any of the columns by clicking the column header.  If there is a column you can't see, enable it by going to View > View Options.
    Within a playlist, you can do the same, and in addition you can click above the column of sequence numbers, which will then allow you to drag tracks up or down to get any order you wish.

  • Can you change the legth of time (or number of rings) it takes for on iphone 4 to time out making an outgonig call?

    Can you change the legth of time (or number of rings) it takes for on iphone 4 to time out making an outgonig call?
    Mostly it's to call in for radio contests. The Iphone is really good at making a quick call, but it seems to timeout after 15-20 rings. I realise this is a small thing, but free tickets is free tickets.
    Most commenst I see is abotu incoling calls, not outging.
    Thanks.

    No. You can't do this with any phone.

  • Can you change the DEFAULT VIEW of a published iCal to MONTH VIEW?

    Can you change the DEFAULT VIEW of a published iCal to MONTH VIEW? I use this for a vacation rental and people never ever ever ever need to see anything but the MONTH VIEW. I hate having to tell them to click MONTH view at the top of the page. Is there a way to force it to always appear in MONTH? Thanks!

    ddotcom,
    Welcome to Apple Discussions.
    Unfortunately no, but if they are repeat viewers why not tell them to change their view to "Monthly" using the "Preferences" button on that page?

        DIVAB71,
    Great question. The line access fees for the account are a set amount and can not be changed unless you are going from a basic to a smartphone or vice versa. If you are wondering about adding the month to month discount if you are out of contract Ann154 has provided great information on how to access and add the feature.

  • Can you change the extensions in Adobe Muse from .html to .htm?

    Can you change the extensions in Adobe Muse from .html to .htm?
    I'm updating an old site where the extensions for the pages were all.htm. This means that when I upload the site index.htm is not being over written by index.html.

    Hi,
    It is not possible to change the extension in Muse at the moment. You can export the site as HTML and change the extensions outside the Muse.
    Regards,

  • How can you change the bubble color in the message app on the iphone 5

    How can you change the bubble color in the message app on the iphone 5?

    If you are having trouble reading your texts you can increase the font size until it becomes clear. Put in a feature request for the colour change though, it won't happen unless people ask for it.

  • How can you change the font size in the application and system headers?

    How can you change the font size in the application and system headers?  I searched the system and finder prefs to no avail.  Changing the screen density is not a good option.
    Thanks

    I downloaded Tinkertool.  Found the font section and increased the size of most selections.  The only thing that changed that I can see is the window label.  The apple line, bookmarks line, the tool bar in safari are all the same---font size of about 4.  Found the finder "show view options" but that didn't seem to change anything either.  I'll keep working.  Restarted all apps after changes as well.

  • Can you change the theme color in iMovie for example from its current color of blue to red?

    Can you change the color of a theme in iMovie ?- example: the sports theme is set to be blue and I would like it red.

    No. And that would be nice in your type of example.
    I would recommend that you could TRY to use the "Map, Background & Animatics" earth icon> (next to transitions tool tab), scroll down> add RED background, and ADD Transitions inside some. That might help your example out.
    Hope this helps. Cheers
