Don't want compilations folder

Hello -
How can I get iTunes to stop creating a compilations folder for my cds? These are not cds with various artists. I want the artist to have their own folder.
Another question: if I import 2 different cds by the same artist will it create 2 separate artist folders or will it add the 2nd album in the same folder (which I'd prefer).
Thanks in advance,
Wy

If the CDs are being incorrectly identified as compilations then change the information against them either before or after you import the CD and the album will go into the Artist folder. iTunes gets the information on the CD from an online database, quite often this will identify greatest hits packages or single artist best of collections as compilations. You can change the compilation marker before you import and then the songs will go into the artist folder. Insert your CD and when it shows in iTunes click on the first song then go to Edit>Select all. Right click on the selection and choose Get Info. You'll get a message asking if you want to edit multiple items, say yes. If you are using iTunes 8 in the box that opens go to the Options tab and change "part of a compilation" to no and choose OK. (In iTunes 7, the compilations setting is at the bottom of the multi-item page). Import the CD and the tracks will go to the correct artist folder.
To change the marker on albums already imported click on the first track to highlight it, hold down the shift key and click on the last track to highlight all the songs in between and follow the instructions above to change the info.
If you import more than one album bay an artist each album will be in it's own folder inside the artist folder.

How can I keep Itunes from wanting to put my music cd in the compilations folder. Even a 2 disc set sometimes itunes will place one cd in a folder of the name of the band and the other disc in the compilations folder under the name of the cd

Two issues. The first one is that when I upload some music cd's into my itunes library, itunes wants to place the songs in a compilations folder. Sometimes this occurs even with a 2 or 3 cd set. One CD will be filed under the artists name and the disc 2 may be filed in the compilations folder and listed by the name of the cd and not the artist.
2nd issue is that sometimes cd's are similiar, but with different artists such as 20th century Hits of Neil Young. The CD is filed in the compilations folder. Than I upload the 20th century Hits of Tanya Tucker and the songs go into the same folder with Neil Young. The don't even mix as one is county and the other is rock.
I have moved these CD's out of the compilations folder and moved them in with the other cd's by the same artist, but Itunes keeps moving them back into the compilations folder.
Is there a fix

Generally setting a common Album title and Album Artist will fix things.
For compilations that aren't, select all tracks, Get Info, and on the option tab set Part of a Compilation to No. If it already says No tick the box alongside, then click OK.

Can any one tell me how can I move to a different folder pictures, that I've cloned, without them staying aggregated? They all come together to the other folder and I don't want that- thanks

There's more to it than that.
Folders in Aperture do not hold Images. They hold Projects and Albums. You cannot put an Image in a Folder without putting it in a Project or an Album inside that Folder.
The relationship between Projects and Images is special: every Image must in a Project, and can be in only one Project.
Images can be in as many Albums you want. Putting an Image in an Album does not move it from the Project that holds it.
You can make as many Versions from a Master as you want.
What you want to do may appear simple to you, but it still much adhere to how Aperture works. I still can't tell exactly what you are trying to do (specifically: Images don't live in Folders; moving an Image from a Folder is non-sensical).
It can be very confusing (and frustrating) to get going with Aperture -- but it does work, and can be enormously helpful. If you haven't, take a look at the video tutorials on Apple's Aperture support site.
I feel as though I haven't helped you much -- but we need to be using the same names for interface items in order to get anything done -- and my sense is that you still haven't learned the names of the parts.

How can I get a pdf. to open in Safari, all i'm getting is a new window with a black, blank page, instead of the pdf., and I don't want to save the file to the desktop, Safari didn't use to do that, and I don't have Adobe in the internet plug in folder.

How can I access my old iphoto libary on my newer laptop? I have a new iphoto folder on my laptop so I don't want to lose my current photos. I just want to add more.

I have a new iphoto folder on my laptop so I don't want to lose my current photos. I just want to add more.

Do the following:
rename the old library to something other that iPhoto Library.
copy the library to the Pictures folder on your new laptop.
launch iPhoto with the Option key held down and select the old library to open it and convert it to the newer version.
Note: if the older version of iPhoto was iPhoto 7 (08) or earlier you'll need to download and run the iPhoto Library Upgrader 1.1 on it before opening with iPhoto on your new laptop.
If you want to merge the two libraries into one library and keep the edited versions, keywords, titles, etc. you'll need to use the paid version of iPhoto Library Manager to do the merging.

HT1364 I recently got a new laptop but I can't retrieve my iTunes folder from my old pc, how do I get my library on my new laptop as I don't want to set up a new one.

I recently had to buy a new laptop as my pc no longer worked. I can't get my iTunes media folder off my old pc so how do I get my library onto my new laptop as I don't want to create a new library and erase everything off my iPhone.

There is no such thing as a "sub-account." Also, you probably mean iTunes library, when you say "account." Your "account" in iTunes is your Apple ID, which is what you use to sign in to the iTunes Store to make purchases. iPods are associated with an iTunes library, not with an Apple ID (iTunes Store account). You'll need to clarify...
So, this is what I think you are saying. You previously shared an iTunes library on a computer with your friend. Your old iPod was synced to that iTunes library.
You got an iPhone, and at that time, you set up your own iTunes library. Is that on a different computer? How does the iPhone affect your question about the iPod?
You got a new iPod. What is your "old iTunes"? Is that the iTunes library you shared with your friend?

My user folder has disappeared from my hard drive though if I do a find for it it says it is still there. Anyone know how to restore it. I can drag a duplicate from the find window onto the hard drive but don't want two copies with one hidden.

My user folder has suddenly disappeared from my hard drive though if I do a find for it it comes up as still being there with all its data. Can drag a duplicate copy from the find window back onto the hard drive but don't want two copies there with one of them hidden. Any suggestions anyone?

Did you update to 10.9.3?
If you did then update to iTunes 11.2.1.
That is the fix for that problem.

My music files are "missing". How do I get itunes to locate the files without identifying each music folder (files are in separate folders under torrent data and I don't want to open each one of them individually)

Just like the title... Music files are missing and I don't want to locate each folder individually, how do I get itunes to locate all of the music without taking each music file out from the album folders they're in?

Hi,
The article below will explain in general how your iTunes files are organized on your computer.

Don't want edited images showing up in same folder as RAW images

As I go through my catalog of RAW images, I'll select an image (or more if I'm doing a pany/stacked), then use the "Edit in CS5" command. After I edit the photo and save in a new/different folder (usually as a .jpeg), the saved image will then show up in my RAW catalog, too.
I don't want this. I have made a catalog for RAW images, and it gets confusing when images show up in a catalog where I only expect RAW images. How do I stop edited images showing up in a catalog not intended for them?
Thank-you.

I don't think you can do that. External Edit in LR is designed so that the result represents one further stage in the processing of your photo, so it will automatically added to your catalog, and stacked with the original, if you chose so.
For what you are looking for, try using export with a Postprocessing option of "Open in Photoshop". This will not add the result to your catalog, unless you've marked "Add to This catalog".

Why does Mail keep creating a Junk folder that I don't want

I don't want Mail to filter for Junk because it always gets it wrong. I have another, better filter. I have unchecked the box. Nevertheless, Mail persists in creating a Junk folder and occasionally putting messages into it. Many of these messages are perfectly good and go unnoticed for a few days before I notice them in the new Junk folder. I keep deleting the folder, but eventually it comes back again.
Why is it doing this, and how can I stop it??

Thanks for your interest, but unchecking 'Enable junk mail filtering' hides the junk folder, and it will not be regenerated unless Apple Mail unilaterally decides it wants to put something in it. This problem only started for me last year, and for years before that, I did not have a Junk folder. My own spam filter (Spamsieve) works perfectly well.
As I have unchecked 'Enable junk mail filtering', the two options you mention do not exist: they are greyed out.

Don't want to store temporary files in downloads folder firefox

When opening an attachment from a website, such as a pdf, a windows pops up letting you choose to open with "Preview Document" or "save to...." If I choose "preview document," the pdf will automatically saved to my Downloads folder, which I don't want. In Winxp, temporary files are store in a temporary folder, and will be replaced by new temporary files. How do I do that in mac? I want to temporary "preview" the pdf and don't want it to save a copy to the download folder, because I use the folder for the downloads I want to keep. I use firefox btw. Thanks.

Hi there,
How did you do this? As it is not possible to see the private folder through the preferences window when setting the downloads folder. I even used TinkerTool to make all hidden files & folders visible...
Thanks!

When I create a new folder on the desktop of my macbook pro, it is automatically populated with all of the files on the desktop, which I don't want.

when I create a new folder on the desktop of my macbook pro, it is automatically populated with all of the files on the desktop, which I don't want.

I got the problem solved. It was pretty simple but new to me. I had evidently inadvertently switched the setting in the "View" tab on the dropdown menu so that all of my desktop folders were populated by all folders/documents residing on the desktop.
The solution was to open one of the folders, then go to the "View" tab and change the setting to "List." Presto, now all the folders include only the contents I had intentionally loaded into them.

I don't know which folder to use clearing out old messages, spam, junk and other detrious I might want to recover in the future and which folder for highly sensitive or personal in formation I want to keep confidential.

More to my question regarding standard Mail folders, how do Trash and Delete differ in function?

I have an iPhone 4. I've been archiving email I want to keep but I don't know where it's going. I don't see a folder called "Archive"

I have an iPhone 4. I've been archiving email I want to keep but I don't know where it's going. I don't see a folder called "Archive"

The procedure is Settings>Messages>Send & Receive at>You can be reached by iMessages at>Add another email address. The email address has to be a valid working email address, obviously. Apple should verify the email address and you have to go to the inbox of that email account, read the verification email from Apple and follow the inductions in the email in order to complete the verification. Then you go back to the settings, uncheck your email address and check the new email address to be used as the contact email address.

I don't want native compiling !

I'm sorry, I know that topic came up many, many, many times, but :
- I don't want an Java2exe thing that would give me a standalone app
- I do want my users to have JRE installed
- I even want them to have JMF installed
All I want is to know how to create those .exe (win32 binaries) just able to launch an embeded jar file and displaying an icon on it...
I've found many tricks that for, but as even Sun itself distributes .exe files (eg : JMStudio.exe) i imagine there is a "normal" or "simple" (even "standard") way to do so... Don't they just use their own tools to build their release ?
Is it the purpose of any InstallShield or something ? If so juste please let me know and I'll go deeper by myself.
Once again : I DON'T WANT A STANDALONE APP.
Thank you in advance
Julien

There are lots of programs that will give you and exe to launch the jar and I'm sure you've found some. They are just simple c++ programs which do pretty much the same as runtime.exec does in java. To change the icon you'll need to write your own c++ program or use and icon edit tool which will allow you to edit the icon embedded in the .exe file.
