Compilations - Would like to understand this

I'm using the latest and greatest version of iTunes on my Mac running OS 10.4.8
If I view my music library in List mode and then also turn on the Browser View aspect, you get a window at the top where the music is listed in three sections: Genre, Artist, Album.
Now here's my annoyance. Let's say I imported a "Greatest Hits" collection into my iTunes library. In my opinion, a greatest hits album is considered a compilation, since the songs have been compiled over the years and grouped together onto one album. So, in the information area I click on the "Part of a Compilation" box.
But, what this does in the Browser window is that the program now lists "Compilations" under the "Artist" column.
So, if you have more than one album titled "Greatest Hits", all the songs from different groups get mixed together in the browser window.
And, also, now in the info window, you can list "Artist" and now "Album Artist". What's that all about?
Couldn't find anything in the iTunes Help.
PowerBook G4 Mac OS X (10.4.5) My first Mac was a IIcx. Those were the days!

When viewing compilations, sort by by Album or Album Artist.
you can list "Artist" and now "Album Artist". What's that all about?
Artist is for a specific song.
Album Artist is whose album it is.
Supernatuarl by Santan has like 8 different artists on the songs but the Album Artist is Santana.

I would like to understand if we can select a BOM by Vendor

Hi all
I have the following query:
In our subcontracting process we are often producing similar codes on two different vendor locations.
So would like to understand that if we can select a BOM by Vendor
u201CCan't select different BOMs in R/3 for different vendors producing same codeu201D?
thanks and regards

Hi all,
This would probably work but in my client we do not use production versions. This is not for the standard subcontracting process. This would mean that we would have to implement a completely new process involving Product costing as I am not sure if production versions created for subcontracting products would have any impact on them.
could you please tell me if there is no other option to get this to work without using production versions?
I have put a quick example to explain the problem in more detail...
For Finished product 9791070 I have created a BOM with two alternatives:
1 & 2
Each alternative is using a different component...
When creating the Subcontracting PO the system automatically picks the component from alternative BOM 1
Please let me know if there is any other option within the PO creation process or within the PIR to use alternative BOMu2019s without the requirement to create production versions.
thanks in advance

Mavericks: "System Events" would like to control this computer using accessibility features?

I just installed Mavericks on my MacBook Pro and was in the process of exploring changes when suddently this message popped up:
- "System Events' would like to control this computer using accessibility features. Grant access to this application in Security & Privacy preferences, located in System Preferences.
The two choices offered are "Open System Preferences" and "Deny."
Any idea why this would be triggered? I don't like clicking to grant access without understanding what's going on.
Thanks.

Only if you want intrusive, incompatible, memory hogging software on your Mac.
Would this open a back door up to Google?
Yes. More than one.
Google software (Chrome, Google Drive, and Google Keystone Agent in particular) is bad news for Macs, and a frequent flyer on these discussions.

I want to be able to totally block the FaceTime functionality in my home network. I would like to do this at the router level. Does anyone know the hostname or IP address that the FaceTime application uses? Or which port it connects to?

I want to be able to totally block the FaceTime functionality in my home network so my 4 kids aren't using the Facetime feature- It was easy for Skype just had to enter the work Skype on my Router Security list- and it denies access. I would like to do this at the router level for FaceTime? Only site I find in init.ess.apple.com - is this the startup site for Facetime? Does anyone know a site I can block, hostname or IP address that the FaceTime application uses? Or which port it connects to?

I would presume so, but it might be worth your while to experiment and play around with different combinations to see if you can block FaceTime while keeping Game Center open. Good luck!

I have two apple accounts and one of which has my music on. I would like to move this music to the other account. Is there a simple way of doing this?

There is currently no way to merge accounts. The best option is to pick one, and use it consistantly.

How do you shuffle the image order when creating a new slideshow in apterture 3? i would like to do this automatically when creating a new slideshow. i see how you do it when you just play a slideshow.

how do you shuffle the image order when creating a new slideshow in apterture 3? i would like to do this automatically when creating a new slideshow. i see how you do it with presets when you just play a slideshow, but i don't see an option to randomly shuffle the slide order when you create a new slideshow. i know you can sort it by different fields, but i want it to be random. thanks.

If you want to rearrange images in random order you can try an AppleScript:
retrieve a list of selected images from Aperture
shuffe the list properly
create an album in Aperture and add the images from the list to the album (make sure that the album set to be orederd manually)
Here is a sample script that shuffles the selected images and displays them in random order in Full Screen Mode:
on removeItem(ims, i)
-- remove the item at position "i" from a list ims
          if ims is {} then return {}
          if (length of ims is 1) then return {}
          if i < 2 then return rest of ims
          if (i = length of ims) then return (items 1 thru (i - 1) of ims)
          if i > (length of ims) then return ims -- should be error?
          return (items 1 thru (i - 1) of ims) & (items (i + 1) thru (length of ims) of ims)
end removeItem
on shuffle_items(ims)
-- shuffle the items of the list "ims" randomly
          local numitems, ims_shuffled, nextrest, nextpick, i
          set numitems to length of ims
          if length of ims < 2 then return ims
          set ims_shuffled to {}
          set nextrest to ims
          repeat until nextrest is {}
                    set i to (random number (numitems - 1)) + 1
                    set nextpick to item i of nextrest
                    set beginning of ims_shuffled to nextpick
                    set numitems to numitems - 1
                    set nextrest to removeItem(nextrest, i)
          end repeat
          return ims_shuffled
end shuffle_items
on shuffleIms()
-- retrieve the selected images from Aperture
-- and display them in random order in full screen mode
          local imageSel, shuffled, i
          tell application "Aperture"
activate
                    set imageSel to (get selection)
                    set shuffled to my shuffle_items(imageSel)
                    set fullscreen to true
                    if imageSel is {} then error "Please select some images."
                    repeat with i from 1 to count of shuffled
                              reveal {item i of shuffled}
delay 3 -- chnage that to the time you want
                    end repeat
                    set fullscreen to false
                    return shuffled
          end tell
end shuffleIms
shuffleIms()
Some more code snippets to go from here:
To create an album:
                    tell library 1
                              if not (exists album "shuffledAlbum") then
make new album with properties {name:"shuffledAlbum", image version:shuffled}
                              end if
                    end tell
And to add the images from the shuffled list to the album:
                    repeat with i from 1 to count of shuffled
                              duplicate item i of shuffled to album "shuffledAlbum"
                    end repeat

Java 6 you can't as Apple maintains it, and Java 7 you could if you uninstall it and Oracle provides the earlier version which they likely won't his last update fixed 37 remote exploits.
Java broken some software here and there, all you'll have to do is wait for a update from the other parties.

I created a wireless network with my Time Capsule but would like to connect this network to a WiFi Hotspot for Internet Access

I have created a Wirelss Network at home with the Time Capsule and would like to connect this network to the Internet.
I can't use LAN Cable to connect to it anything becasuse I usually use the WiFi that runs through my building.
Can I connect the Time Capsule to the WiFi hotspot somehow so that all computers on my network have Internet access and if so, what do I need?
I need this done because the computers can only be connected to either the WiFi network or to my Time Capsule Network at any given time.
Or is there a way to be connected to both networks simultaneously?
I have two PC's and two Macs.
Thank you for any support and I apologise for my ignorance. I am not too good with networking.
I have tried the silliest of things like connecting a router to the TC only to then realise that the TC had an inbuilt router.
I tried connecting a USB WiFI adapter to the USB Port on the TC but it doesnt detect it that way apparently.
Please help!

I have a kinda same problem @ https://discussions.apple.com/thread/3531642
Please reply (somebody)!

First format the drive to OS X Extended (journaled) with ownership set to be ignored:
Next drag your iPhoto library from your Pictures folder to the EHD. When the copying is complete launch iPhoto with the Option key held down and in the window that comes up select the library on the EHD:
Check the file path under the window to make sure the correct library has been selected.
Once you've confirmed that the EHD library is working properly and has all of your photos you can delete the library in your Pictures folder.

The only way to use Forms Central would be to export it the method that gives you the embed code (can't remember what the actual term is off hand) and then use Object--->Insert HTML and past your code in.

Not easily, unless you backed up your data.
Did you? If not, let that be a lesson to never install anything without a backup:

I need to generate a still shot from from a video. I would like to accomplish this task using a single application. If this is not possible with my MacBook Pro as purchased from Apple, please recommend which applications I can purchase.

I need to generate a still shot from from a video I made with my camera. I would like to accomplish this task using a single application. If this is not possible with my MacBook Pro as purchased from Apple, please recommend which applications I can purchase that include this feature. Thanks in advance.

For FREE do the following:
When you get to othe part of the video you want a still shot from, put the video on pause.
Take a screen shot: Apple>Shift>4 - which will produce a cross hair so you can manually select which part of the video you want.Check inside either your Applications or Utility folder for an app called Grab. Will do the above with just a single click.
If you still want to purchase software, suggest that you do a Google & MacUpdate search. This way, you can find exactly what you want.

It isn't an option it is a permanent part of the security protocol, so you need to write the answers down in a secure location or remember them, you will always need them in the future.
Call Apple Care for your country and ask for the Account Security Team, then request help resetting the questions.
