Changing normal tags to people tags

Hello,
I'm using Elements 11. I imported some photos to my catalog and the program asked if I wanted to import the tags as well. Of course I did and so did the program. However, now when I want to find pictures of a specific person that I tagged in people taggs in elements are separate from the photos in the normal tag with the same name of that person. So I have to review both places to find all of the pictures for that person.
Is there any way to change a normal tag to a "peoples tag" so that I will find all images of that person when I want to find it?
In my opinion it is a little strange that there is now the distinction between two different tag types. If I save the tags to the file via "Save Metadata to Files" then the peoples tags are written in the normal tags section in the files since Windows seems to know only one tag system. So when I import the files again in Elements then naturally the peoples tags are converted to normal tags because it could not distinguish which is which.
Is there a better solution? Can I just combine the normal tags with people tags? It's far too hard to retag all of the photos and the automatic face recognition doesn't work very well in many cases so a lot of work is necessary.
Thanks!

The easiest method is to simply drag the new people icon to a batch of selected photos.
Start by ensuring the people icons are displayed at the bottom of the right-hand panel under the Media tab. If you cant see them as a list go to the top menu:
View >> Show People in Tag Panel
Then click on the right pointing icon to the left of People Tags to expand the list (see image below) and you can also use the plus symbol to add new people icons.
Now scroll to the top of your keywords and choose a persons name that was imported by clicking on the chevron to the right of the highlighted (people) keyword. Press Ctrl+A to select all the photos of that person or use Shift+Click on the first and last. Now drag the new people icon for that person on to one of the thumbnails and it will be added to all the selected photos.
Return to the top of the keyword list and right click on the old person tag and choose delete. That will remove it from all photos with that word.

PSE 8: "Auto-analysis" and change of tag icon not working

Hi, in the organizer of PSE8/Win i have two problems:
I select some thumbnails and use "auto analyze" (for quality level etc.). Then i get a status bar "auto analyzing starts" - and it never gets beyond that stage. I have to click "cancel" to get out. That's also true with one single image selected.
The icons for tags like "Mary" automatically get a small picture. It is possible to change this tag picture after right-clicking. But then, the button "Edit symbol" is greyed out.
The menu for sorting by date in ascending/descending order doesn't change anything (i always see oldest pictures first).
There's lot of available hard disk in Elements' drive, but only 800 MB on the C: drive. I changed NONE of Elements preferences. When i change preference to "auto analyze on organizer's start-up", it still doesn't work. In the task manager, i do NOT see a task like "PhotoshopElementsAutoAnalyzer.exe" or so. I believe i saw this task in a slightly earlier version where everything worked fine. The problem exists with old catalogs as well as with newly created catalogs. Re-starts and re-booting didn't help either. I have perfectly normal camera JPEGS - and the face recognition works fine. It seems that the sub-application "PhotoshopElementsAutoAnalyzer.exe (?)" misses - could you advise me which file to look for?
Btw, i have Win XP SP2 with 4 GB memory on a non-English system with appropriate non-English PSE8 retail version. Premiere Elements 8 is installed too.
I would like to try "auto analyzing" and i would like to change tag icon pictures. Of course i could re-install, but that's just so tedious and i don't know if it helps. Would you have any other ideas? Thanks a lot!

Barbara, John,
thanks again for your considerations! After some more testing and input from the PrE 8 forum, i can say the following:
- Ascending/descending order: Now i know: If you have only pictures of one single day, there is no change in thumbnail order when you switch from "ascending" to "descending" and back. Of course pics from morning and evening should change position, but they don't. BUT: If you add one pic from another day, switching from "ascending" to "descending" suddenly fully works - including pics taken on one same day changing position. (To test Organizer, auto analysis and face recognition under fast clear conditions, i had originally only 20 pics in the catalog, all from one family day trip. And there, i couldn't change the order.)
- I checked "auto analyze" again. Now i can say: When i start "auto analyze" manually, i see "ElementsAutoAnalyzer.exe" for half a second in the task manager. Then it disappears, and on the Organizer screens, the status bar keeps claiming "Starting analysis" until i click "Cancel". I ONLY tried it on regular JPEGs so far. There is no way to get a "smart tag". If i try a second time, no more "ElementsAutoAnalyzer.exe" appears in the task manager. I also switched users on my PC to a user which has no utilities whatsoever running, less than 10 processes in the task manager, turned off anti-virus - still the same problem with "auto analyze".
- The face recognition tags btw are not written into the image file as IPTC, that has to be done with the "File" menu command. Also if i drag "smart tags" like "low quality" manually over a thumbnail, they get assigned only via catalog, not written as IPTC straight into the image file.
I don't think it's worth wasting more of one's time before there is a bugfix delivered that expressively acknowledges the issues mentioned. I am not a computer geek, just like to play with pictures and videos; i thought Elements was made for people like that.
Thanks again for your input!

How To Permanently Change ID3 Tags With iTunes

Okay, so here's the deal. I've seen this question in several places, but I can't find a working answer, so I decided to give it a shot.
My goal: change ID3 tag info with my song collection in iTunes so that my changes stick permanently.
Now let me explain. I am picky about what info I want for a song. Anytime I add a song to my collection, I am specific about what info I want to keep and what I want to get rid of. What I keep: Song title, Artist info, album info and genre. I get rid of everything else, like track/disc number, year, comments, and etc.
To further my point, I'll explain how I go about what brings me to the problem. After I have an album with all songs I want from it, I add the folder to the iTunes library but I don't make any changes yet (I don't have the option checked for iTunes to add copies of the songs to the iTunes folder). Then I select all songs and convert them to 128kbs mp3s with v2.3 ID3 tags. Then I edit all the song info to what I mentioned before in the Get Info box. After a few plays, the track/disc numbers, years, and comments come back, but song title/artist info/album info don't change and the album artwork I added remains. I tried the opposite, editing all the info after adding the songs to the library THEN converting...same problem. I tried a third-party program, MP3tag, before and after converting, both with the same result. I even tried adding something to all comment boxes in iTunes to sync the libraries...that didn't work either. I also tried with that option of adding copies to the library checked and it still didn't work.
I want a solution to where my changes in iTunes of removing the track/disc numbers, years, and comments from songs will be permanent and not come back.
Also, this problem has remained through every new version of iTunes released up to the current version as of the time I am typing this.

There may be a number of things going on. iTunes has a problem updating files with multiple tags, e.g. both id3v1 and id3v2.x. Sometimes it seems it can update one copy of the tag, but then read back data from the other. It may also have problems if file security settings are incorrect, in which case it will appear to make a change, but then reveal the original data next time it accesses the track in some way. WMP may also be involved in magially restoring data that you've deleted. Getting iTunes & Windows Media Player to play nicely.
As to the issue with comments, are these general things or strings of digits like this? 00000000 00000210 00000770 0000000000103000 00000000 00000000 00000000 00000000 00000000 00000000 00000000 00000000. I've a feeling that patterns of digits such as these are in some way connected to gapless playback and are supposed to be hidden from view, but that may be wild speculation. Again it is even possible that WMP rather than iTunes creates them.
One way that might work is, having edited tracks to the values you want, use the option Convert id3 tags > None a few times, then Convert id3 tags > v2.3.
While I'm all for people having things the way they want them I really can't see how your library could be improved by not having track, disc, or year values. Without disc and track numbers albums will play out of sequence. Why not just turn off the columns that hold no interest for you?

Changing ID3 tags and replacing tra

I'm playing with my new Xtra and enjoying it. I will want to jigger many of the tags to organize the genres and artists better.
) The software stored the albums (as I requested) under Artist/Album. If I shift an album under a different artist name, I assume it will not automatically change the tags for the artist. (For instance, I have a few "Elvis Costello" and a few "Elvis Costello and the Imposters"... I want them all under the same artist name).
2) Can I change the basic tags (Artist, Album, Genre and even Track #) using Create MediaSource Organizer, or should I download a decent/free ID3 tag program recommended on various guru FAQs?
3) Here's my real question: Once I alter the tag on a track I've already loaded onto the player, I will want to replace it with the updated tags. If I re-transfer, will it overlay the tracks with the updated ones -- or will it create duplicates? Do I need to delete the album or tracks from my player before sending them back over?
Thanks
Michael

Well you can only edit tags using the PC. I meant with respect to which data source you use, the player itself (when connected to the PC) or the files on the PC's hard dri've.
The "move" would be just taking a subfolder ("album") and moving under a different "artist" folder -- in Explorer. I figured also that I'd still have to change the tags (the ripping program reads the tags and creates the directories, but I assumed the intelligence doesn't go another way).
Ah right. Yes, you have to change the tags themselves. It doesn't automatically realise the folder has changed, although you can get many programs which will use folder and filename data to generate the tag.
So I should grab a tagging program, and plan to "Delete From Player" and "Re-Transfer From PC." Not as bad as it sounds, as I can delete whole albums at once from the Player.
It's certainly the method I use. It really depends on what approach suits you.
I saw the list of tag programs on your FAQ -- are the "free" ones good enough? Is there a real advantage in the shareware or paid programs (other than the one you cite on Nomadsync).
I've never bought a tag editing program, and have used 2 or 3. I prefer overall though, but some don't like the UI. Best to check some out.
Nomadsync is listed in the programs to copy files. Remember that Nomadsync is not a tag editor, it's a program for copying files.

How can I stop iTunes from changing my tags?

I have a MacBook Pro running Yosemite, and iTunes 12. When I play a track, iTunes often changes the tags automatically, but not for every track. It's particularly difficult with compilations, where it will take a song and change the album to something I don't even own.
Now, I have had the computer for a while, and have had iTunes addons before, so it may be a legacy, but I've had the computer so long, I don't remember all of the apps I've had and uninstalled over the years.
I have followed the directions for cleaning out plugins and extensions from the library folders, but it's still happening.
Does anyone know of an app that has this functionality, so I can check their forums, or, if there's no there a way to do a clean install of iTunes on a Mac?
Thanks.

I think even using Get Info may not reveal the change, though it is possible the behaviour has altered since I last tested it. Playing or updating the tracks location in a script such as UpdateTagInfo seems to get iTunes to re-evaluate the tag.
Assuming WMP is involved it may be best to make the necessary settings adjustments to prevent further changes, use the script to get all of the background changes exposed within iTunes, then correct as you see fit. Alternatively I do have another script called ExportImport that could be used to back up the current state of your tags (you should temporarily rename the media folder during the export phase), after which you would then run UpdateTagInfo and then use ExplortImport in its import mode to restore the corrupted data.

Change error tag names of the Response xml of a vanilla Inbound Webservice

Hi,
I am invoking a vanilla inbound webservice "Service Request" through Soap UI. Whenever any error occurs, in the response xml, some tags like "siebelf:error" is generated in the xml. However these tags are not present in the IO.My question is, can we change these tag names? If yes, then how?

Hi,
You should be able to edit the generated wsdl as you suggested, changing the
"return" to something else. Then save the wsdl to a file, say
"filename.wsdl", and then at the top of your jws add the following:
* @jws:wsdl file="filename.wsdl"
This will force the jws to use the wsdl you specify and you won't have to
edit any maps. Of course, as your jws changes, you will need to regenerate
the wsdl and change the "return" to something else.

I have created a webservice in workshop that has some methods what returnstring-data.
Now I want to create clients with different software-products. Because Igot some
errors with one of these products, I looked into the WSDL and noticed thatthe
name of the response-datatype is 'return' (by default).
You can see this here:
- <s:element name="addUserResponse">
- <s:complexType>
- <s:sequence>
<s:element minOccurs="1" maxOccurs="1" name="return" nillable="true"type="s:string"
/>
This 'return' is interpreted as a keyword in the client-generation tool.If I
change this manually to another word then it works.
When I try to change the 'Return XML' in the 'Edit Maps and Interface'Dialog,
than the WSDL looks like this:
- <s:element name="addUserResponse">
- <s:complexType mixed="true">
- <s:sequence>
<s:any minOccurs="1" maxOccurs="unbounded" />
Now the name- and type-definitions are completely missing.
The question is now: how to change the name of the response-datatype from'return'
to another (not-keyword-) name?
I think this is important because I don't know what software a customeruses to
generate a client and I can not expect that he manually edits myWSDL-file.

Need to change the Tag name of Response Tag.

Hello,
While creating the Wsdl in eclipes, in which,I put operation name is (*PX_GET_INSTPRD*) Then automatically get its elements for input= (*PX_GET_INSTPRD*) and for output (*PX_GET_INSTPRDResponse*). I change the output element to PX_GET_INSTPRD_RESP, and proceed further, creating new types and element.
After completing it, converting it to JAVA and deployed in tomcat, When i verfying the response in soupUI, I get PX_GET_INSTPRDResponse tag instead of PX_GET_INSTPRD_RESP.
Will anyone please help me out, in getting correct response tag (*PX_GET_INSTPRD_RESP)*? And also explain why only main response tag change rest tag remain same??
Thanks in advance Mukesh Puri

META TAGS? How do I change meta tags while designing my website in iweb?

META TAGS? How do I change meta tags while designing my website in iweb?

I've designed a new website using iWeb. (I'm a beginner and have never done this before.) I published it to MobileMe. The site is for a volunteer organization, which requires that all pictures and images have text tags. (For this purpose, I assume that's the same as Meta tags.) A rep at the local Apple store clued me into iWebSEO Tool ("SEO"). I used it successfully got all my pictures and images tagged, altho it was hard and took a few hours. This was two months ago. I checked my site earlier this week and all the tags have disappeared. I went back to SEO and all my original work was still there. So I hit re-apply and then saved and republished my site. Still no tags. I have several questions. Is this a regular problem with SEO? Do I have to do all the tags over again? Is there any easier solution? Is Apple going to improve iWeb so this is not a problem in the future? I'll appreciate any help I can get. Thanks.

How can I change the tag name in cursor statement?

Hi
I have two tables: TableA and TableB. I want generate a XML file using XSU12 from these two tables, the XML structure like:
<ROWSETA>
<ROWA num="1">
<A1></A1>
<A2></A2>
<A3>
<A3_ROW num="1">
<B1></B1>
<B2></B2>
</A3_ROW>
<A3_ROW num="2">
<B1></B1>
<B2></B2>
</A3_ROW>
</A3>
</ROWA>
</ROWSETA>
How can I change the tag name and attribute for "A3_ROW"?
Thanks in advance!
null

In short, you can't.
You can use the column alias as you're already doing to change the name of the "A3" part of "A3_ROW" but you cannot change the "_ROW" part of "A3_ROW". This is added automatically.
You can combine the results of XSU with an XSLT stylesheet (made very simple if you're using XSU by working with Oracle XSQL Pages) to change the name of any element or completely restructure the XML output into a target XML, HTML, or text format.

Change Id3 Tags in itunes match

How can I change ID3 Tags on my songs in the cloud?
I changed them on my ITunes (Windows) but they are not synced in the Cloud.

I just did some tests on my setup: iPhone/iMac (Master iTunes library)/MacBook
the tags will only sync well from MacBook to iMac!
if I change a tag on the iMac (which I did change before on my MacBook) then the change goes back to the MacBook, but not if it's a first time edit!
That process usually takes between 5 and 30 seconds.
on the iPhone I can't really change much (besides the rating) which seems to get synced properly in both ways...
Lyrics I couldn't yet get to work to be synced...
I do have Lyrics on my MacBook (so they seem to be in the cloud) but I cannot get them to be updated/changed on the other device (the other Mac). on my iPhone I don't have lyrics at all

Changing mp3 tags in iTunes

Hi all.
I'm changing mp3 tags, adding album covers, etc through Get Info directly in iРhone/Music. I can't see changes in my iPhone music library sometimes. So tags and covers in iTunes differ from the tags in iPhone player.
I tried to reboot the phone, change tag or add cover one more time. It's still not the same.
Help me, please.
iTunes 10.6.1.7

It seems that sometimes when i play a group of songs it will go through and add information to them on its own without prompting me that i do not want there. I have a very clean list of songs as to reduce the number of duplicate artists/albums in my list.
actually, if the songs are in the MP3 format, it's plausible that your WMP is doing this silently in the background. for more information on that possibility (and troubleshooting advice if that's what is afoot here), see the following post:

Change xml tags?

Hi Guys!
I'm supposed to send a message to a web service as an XML.
The problem is that when I send the message, the tags are changed to <ns0:BuyerNumber>. Is it possible to change the tag to <BuyerNumber>???
Another problem that I have is that the XML file is going to be linked to a XLS file. Is there a way to add <?xml-stylesheet type='text/xsl' href='www.example.com/example.xsl'?> to the outgoing message?

I want to take this...
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<ns0:Mottaxxxxx2 xmlns:ns0="http://www.example.com/XMLSchema">
<ns0:Interchange>
and change it to
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<?xml-stylesheet type='text/xsl' href='www.example.com/test.xls' ?>
<Mottaxxxxx2 xmlns:ns0="http://www.example.com/XMLSchema">
<Interchange>
As you can see, the ns0: is removed and
there is a stylesheet added to the xml.
Since I am quite new with this, can you please give a detailed solution. Not step by step guide, but close

6300 cannot change voice tag

Why 6300 can not change voice tags for contacts? Is there any software update available?

The voice recognition system is brilliant. Just you have to guess how to work it!
First, play a voice tag for a name you would like the voice recognition system to cope with. To do this, go into names, select the contact. You get the number and the name below with the 'pacman' voice symbol next to it. Select the name and hit 'option' key, then scroll down to 'play voice tag'.
Listen to the phone's pronunciation. Now hit red key to come out of the address book back to main page and press and hold the 'name' button until it says 'speak now'.
Say the name as you heard the phone say it. Hopefully one of the names it guesses will be it.... select the right name and then press the centre key... 'select'. It will start to dial so immediately hang up by hitting red key.
By doing this is learns the right selection, you can even teach it to recognise different numbers for the same name....i.e. if you have "paul(m)" as a mobile entry and "paul (h)" for a home number you can train it to go for "paul (m)" by saying "paul mobile"... or whatever you want...
Once you know how the phone pronounces stuff you don't have to listen to each voice tag as you can guess how the phone will say it, then, using the method described above, you re-train it to recognise it the way YOU want to say it
Quickly it learns and the list of options get less and less....
Hope this helps!
Best wishes, and happy voice dialling

Cant change ID3 tags [on certain files]

Some files I have, after making changes to their tags in iTunes, revert to their original tag info upon playing. Very annoying [especially when/if file contains faulty info].
I have gone as far as changing the file info in the Finder, with no success. In fact, I can picture scenarios where this would result in a 'missing' file in iTunes. Even if this method were to work, I would only classify it as a workaround - not a soultion, by any means.
All apologies if this issue has been addressed already. I am running iTunes 4.9, but the problem was first noticed under 4.7 [i believe].
Thanks in advance,
-af-

I had the same problem with some mp3 files that I downloaded. Couldn't change the tag names, and couldn't add album artwork.
From another post on a seperate topic in relation to the ID3 tags, I think I found an answer that worked for me.
Select the songs in iTunes, go to Advanced and then "Convert ID3 Tags..."
Then put a check in the ID3 tag version and make sure that the version is "none". Click OK to change the ID3 tags.
This clears the ID3 version number, but keeps the data. Then go back through the same process but change the ID3 tag version to the original ID3 tag version (2.2, 2,3, etc).
As I said, this worked for me, so I hope this works for you.
