Copying and pasting song info

ive seen in some places where you can see all the info from a song. how do you do that? it looks like it comes from the itunes library and it says like
song artist genre play count last played
thanks.

I think I know what you're getting at.
You can select different columns in your music list to display certain things, like play count, bitrates, track numbers and so on. To do that just right click on the top of the column where it tells you what they are and you can turn them on and off.

Copy and paste itunes info

Hi. i would like to copy and paste the info in the composer field, year & grouping into the comments field within itunes. (so it would look like "COMPOSER - YEAR - GROUPING")
Is there anyway automator can do this or a script?
thanks

Hi,
1. Open "Applescript Utility" (in your Application->AppleScript folder), check "Enable GUI Scripting", you will need your login password. Now quit "Applescript Utility".
2. Open "Script Editor". Copy and Paste the following into the script editor,
tell application "iTunes"
set N_ames to the name of selection
set x to the number of items in N_ames
repeat with i from 1 to x
set C_omment to the comment of track (item i of N_ames) of library playlist 1
set L_yrics to the lyrics of track (item i of N_ames) of library playlist 1
set lyrics of track (item i of N_ames) of library playlist 1 to {C_omment & return & L_yrics}
end repeat
end tell
3. Save the file in your Home/Library/iTunes/Scripts folder and give it any name you like. You may need to create the folder "Scripts" in Home/Library/iTunes folder.
4. Open iTunes, you will see a symbol in iTunes menu item, this is the symbol for script. Under the symbol you will find your script.
5. Select any number of songs anywhere in iTunes, click on the script symbol and choose the script you saved before.
The script will copy the comment of a song and add it on top of the lyrics of that song (if you don't have any lyrics, it will only add the comment).

Itunes copy and paste get info

I have a lot of info written in the Comments field in my itunes songs and was wondering if I can get automator to copy that field to the Lyrics field. Each song has different information written in the comment field and I have thousands of songs so you can see how this would be tedious to do manually.
Anyone please help who knows

Copy and Paste on "Get Info"

So I just switched to a Mac, and have a question. Why are you not able to copy and paste song info onto iTunes? For example, I am updating info for Blue Oyster Cult. However I want it to read Blue Öyster Cult. You know, with those 'things' over the O. However when I try and paste this onto the artist info in iTunes, it will not let me. Is there something I can do to sole this problem?

Where are you trying to paste it? If it's into the song listing in your library, you need to click on the Artist, then hover over it until you can enter the data. The easier method is to Get Info on the song (or a group of songs), then paste the info into the Artist field in the Get Info window. If iTunes won't let you do that, then something's amiss with the song file.
Incidentally, those "things" are known as an umlaut or diaeresis. You can type Ö on a Mac by typing option-u, then shift-O.

Bring back copying and pasting of SONG and ARTIST info (not just links)

Guys, I used to be able to copy and paste song and artist info into a Google document so I could have a record of my favourite tracks. I'm not talking about copying and pasting actual links within Spotify; rather just the absolute basics. If still not following, I would, for example copy a track from my Spotify playlist as such: Megadeth - Hanger 18 After which I would paste into a Google document and get this: Megadeth - Hanger 18 I've always found the ability to do this very handy. Any chance we can have this back, Spotify? And while we're at it, can we be able to hover over the Spotify icon in the Windows system tray and have currently playing track info displayed? Cheers.

Select the text in both cases, and look at the Character Style applied. My guess is that the grey text has the Hyperlink Character style, and it has been manually overridden to get to grey and not underlined. When the text is copied and pasted, the Style is re-asserting itself. Remove the Style from the grey text (or use Redefine Style to change it to match your formatting preferences).

Is there a way to copy and paste info from an attachment on the ipad into a document or note?

I sent myself an email with an attachment to my iPad. I want to copy and paste the info from the attachment so I can have it accessible on the iPad either as a Note or a document. I've been able to copy the info but the Paste does not do anything. Anyone know a better way?

When you tap and hold down on the text selection that you want to copy - are you seeing the Copy Option pop up? if so, tap on the Copy button and it should turn blue when the text has been successfully copied. Then just go into Notes - tap on the + sign to create a new note - tap and hold down on the note page until the Paste option pops up. Then tap Paste and it should paste the text onto the sheet. It works the same way anywhere that you can enter text, a Pages document, a URL field in Safari - any place that you can enter text.
When the copy or paste buttons turn blue - the command has been completed successfully.

Can I Copy and Paste From One Project To Another?

I have a scrolling title working very nicely in one project and wanted to "simply" copy and paste it into another project. After doing the copy on project 1, when I get to project 2 to do the paste, there is nothing there to paste. Is this something with Premiere Elements 12, or with my iMac for not keeping what I copied in the appropriate buffer? I found something online that implied there was some software to do this but I can't believe that is the only solution.
I also created a "temporary" project for easier editing with pictures, transitions and sound added that I want to put into my "master" project. I could create an avi and bring it over but I was hoping to have the finished project all in one source. Any thoughts would be appreciated. Thanks.
Rick

Thanks for the info. I'll keep that in mind if I ever want to do it again. Unfortunately, I had already just re-done it in the master before I saw this. Amazingly (to me, anyway), I couldn't even cut and paste the TEXT in the title to a Word doc just to save me from keying it in again. (It was more than a title - it was like movie credits with names, songs, etc.) I figured I could at least cut and paste the text.
The bigger issue was I had done a "save as" of my main project, deleted all but the 55 pictures I had, then added transitions and music, burned it to a RW DVD so I could see how it looked, then figured if it looked good I would just copy and paste the info into my master. Well I wound up redoing that as well once I figured out I couldn't do that. In Pinnacle, whether it was a title or just the video track or audio or both it was a simple highlight of what I wanted, copy it, close that project, open another one, paste it in. Done.
I also had trouble editing today. If I edited my pictures, maybe changed one or added one, it messed up my soundtrack. In Pinnacle I would click a lock icon on the timeline and edit either the audio or video to my heart's content and not mess up the other track. I could leave the audio in place but replace the video. For my daughter's wedding, for example, I took video from 3 different cameras but used the audio from just one so it played smoothly but I could switch the video around for the best shots and it looked very good.
Dare I ask how to lock just the audio or video track? Don't spend a lot of time replying. I already edited my music file by putting it way out in the timeline where there wasn't any video track. Then I could split the audio clip, copy part of it, and paste it back in. I needed the music to last a little longer while the pictures were displaying. Then when I was done I moved it where I wanted, but even at that, I had to be careful because moving it sometimes messed up the video track if I didn't do it just right.
The good news is I'm pretty much done with my video.

You will be able to do copy & paste when 3.0 comes out this summer.

No. You would make changes to the address book on your PC and then sync via iTunes.

The control click and external mouse right click no longer works when copying and pasting album art within itunes. Ex. Hit get info for one song to paste to the rest, copying the artwork wont work when it used to.

Hi, I was trying to copy and paste a lot of info for one day on my calendar to another day and an error message popped up saying that the system responded with an error. Msg won't go away I force quit ical

Need help for trying to unfreeze a message on my ical. I was trying to copy and paste some appointment info from one day to another on my ical and a message popped up saying the system responded with an error. All of my info was below the message. I can't get that message to go away or work on the ical now at all. I try to force quit ical and have shut down the computer and it still comes up. Any suggestions?

K,
Try removing the com.apple.iCal.plist file from your Macintosh HD/Users/yourusername/Library/Preferences Folder. To find that Library folder, if you are using Lion, use Finder>Go Menu>Depress the "Option" key>Library. Drag the .plist file to your desktop, and log out/in or restart.
Next, make sure that you are not connected to the internet. Then to to your Macintosh HD/Users/yourusername/Library/Calendars Folder and remove any files with "Cache" as a part of the file name. Use the same method as listed above to get to the correct Library Folder. Log out/in, or restart and check iCal for functionality.

Is there any way to do a mass copy and paste of song titles from the "name" column to the "sort name" column? I know it can be done with individual titles but I have over 6,000 titles in my library.

In iTunes, is there any way to do a mass copy and paste of song titles from the "name" column to the "sort name" column? I know it can be done with individual titles but I have over 6,000 titles in my library.

Thank you. I have heard of Logic Pro 7, but I have never personally used it. I'm still growing in the world of Composition, and I know that it is something I will be studying in one of my Computer Music classes coming up for my degree. I think it is something I will look into getting once I can justify the price of it. I guess for the time being, I will continue to play and grow in my ability to use and take advantage of GB, and then see what I can do about or with Logic Pro when I'm ready. The thought of spending $1000 for a program is hard to bite, because I've already spent a lot to produce my music, not only electronic music, but also chamber music and so on. I had no idea it would be so expensive to dive deep into the world of composition! lol.
Finale 2007: $500
Sibelius 4: $500
Jam Packs: $400
Midi Keyboard Interface: $100
PowerBook: $1700
Printer for printing scores and analysis: $150
Logic Pro 7: Oy!
As you can see it adds up very quickly...that doesn't even include my personal instruments and study materials.
Thank you for your input, as I haven't really worked much with LP, and therefore didn't know which features are available. I will talk with some of my Composition buddies, and professors and see what they have to say as well, and who knows, I may be able to get the express version through one of them.

Hey everyone! i have a external hardrive i keep my itunes library of songs on and it wont sync with my ipod touch inless i copy and paste it into my ipod device when thats conected. i dont want all the songs on there only checked ones. help plz!!

im having trouble with syncing my ipod touch with my itunes library that i keep on a external hardrive. when i plug up my external hardrive that has all my songs on it, it doesn't sync to my ipod correctly. i have to copy and paste the songs to my ipod device when its connected. i dont want all the songs on there and i want to be able to manually control whats on my ipod. and id like to take some songs off of the ipod also but i want them still in my itunes library though. i usually check the songs i want on the ipod but it isnt working that way maybe because its a external hardrive?? i never had a problem with past ipods with my library on itunes but i ran out of space on my computer and had to transfer all of the songs to my external hardrive. please someone help me!! i thought it would be simple! but it isnt the case! i plug up my hardrive then my ipod, i press sync and nothing gets transfered unless i copy and paste them to the ipod. even though it says ipod syncing in progress! this is really confusing! please help me!! sorry if this is jumbled up and confusing..

Correct. When you update via iTunes all synced media that is not in your iTunes library will be lost.
As IO said before:
You can redownload most iTunes pruchases by:
Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store
I do not think it included audio books.

Bridge CS6 Mac XMP File Info Panel Bug: can't copy and paste metadata

The cmd-keys / shortcuts doesn't work in the xmp file info panel btw. in the xmp / iptc fields (e.g. cmd+c, cmd+v, ...) of Adobe Bridge CS6 (Mac OS 10.6.8 and 10.7.3). You are not able to cut and paste info from one box to another like previous versions.
This bug only appears in the xmp file info window (opened via alt+i) in Bridge CS6 - if you edit information or metadata in the file info panel in Photoshop CS6 copy and paste from one field to another works.
The shortcuts also work under Windows (tested under Vista).
I noticed this minor bug already one in the Photoshop CS6 Beta more than one months ago. I hoped that this was corrected in the official test version, but unfortunately it is not. Although it is a minor bug, it is IMHO a basic function and would be very helpful in my daily work - it is too bad, that such a small thing is making working with the application a little bit annoying.

Thanks! If there is a workaround or simple solution, I would be very glad if you could inform me.
