Don't want track # in filename

I don't want the track # in the filename....is there any way to change this in the import settings for any future CDs that I want to load into my library? Or even better to have it globally change the filename to just the songname??

Read through this thread:

However if you're really particular about your song organisation then it's probably best to turn off the iTunes *Keep organised* feature, use something else to rip & organise and then only add files to iTunes when you're happy things are just as you want them.
N.b. The hack referenced above will probably need to be reapplied after each iTunes update.

I record multiple tracks (3-5) from real instruments and vocals. I want to send these files to a collaborator to add more tracks to, but Garageband wants to mix these down (which I don't want). How can I send the multiple tracks files to my friend?

I record multiple tracks of real instruments and vocals wth Garage Band. I want to share the file with a collaborator so he can add another instrument or two. I have not found a way to do this without the process mixing down the tracks. I don't want them mixed down like when I send them to Itunes. Also I can't seem to just attach a file directly to an email for sending purposes. I thought I saw a method to do this with software instruments, but how do you do it with real instruments? I've tried every process on the "export" list to try to accomplish this, without success. Thanks for any breakthrough advice on this!

As isteveus said - for large projects uploading to a server would be best.
Also I can't seem to just attach a file directly to an email for sending purposes.
But for completeness's sake , you cou can mail a project, if you ctrl-click the project and use "Compress xxx.band". This will compress the project and create a zip file, that you can mail (if it is not too large). But ask your friend for the maximal file size allowed as a mail attachment.
But whichever method you use to share your project, be sure you include all loops and instruments, if your friend does not have the same JamPacks installed. You can bundle the loops into the project by saving it as an archive. "File > Save as" and check the "Archive Project" option.
If this option should be disabled, you can force it to become active by editing your project slightly. It is only available, if the project needs saving.

Filename printing on dustcover - but I don't want it to!

Hi all,
Hoping someone can help as this is driving me crazy. No matter what I do (erase the filename, insert a space instead of the filename, make the text the same colour as the background), the filename keeps coming up in white text underneath all images on the dustcover. I don't want it there!!! Can anyone help?
Thanks,
Greg

It's the version name. Maybe... create a blank version name as a worst case workaround?

ITunes don't want to play my unmarked tracks

Hi!
There's certainly a little mouse click to solve this.
I have a 8GB iPod and I can't store all my music tracks on it. For that reason I unmark the tracks I don't want to transfer using the option to only transfer marked tracks. But! The problem is that when I play music in iTunes, it only play tracks which are marked.
Example:
I have an album which is unmarked and below there's only marked tracks. I disable the shuffle option.
If I play the first track of my unmarked album, after finishing the track it will jump to the next track which is marked. Therefore I can't listen to that album... boring.
Sum up, when shuffling my library it will never play my unmarked tracks.
Would be nice to have a solution for this.
Best regards,
Johan

Hi,
The purpose of the checkmark is to avoid iTunes playing them. Instead, to select which track you want on your iPod, I suggest that you set it to manually select the song you want. Then, you can build a playlist specially for your iPod and select this playlist to be synced to your iPod.
This is a very good way to manage your iPod, if you remove/add songs to your playlist, next time you sync your iPod the change will apply. Then, you can use the checkmark to really avoid iTunes playing a song and not to manage your iPod.

Am trying to record a basic guitar track while I sing along. I don't want my vocals to be recorded at the same time but the internal mic seems to be picking up the vocal and guitar sounds. I tried System Preferences, Sound, Line In - Audio Line Input.

for me it turned out that the jack into the iMac was loose. Once I fiddled with it everything worked okay

How can I stop iOS from opening a recently received message when I click on the messages app to compose an unrelated message to a different contact? I want to read it later, when I have time to reply, and I don't want to forget to go back to it.

iPhone messages automatically open when I don't want them to
One of my first ever flip phones had a wonderful function where you could choose a checkbox next to received messages to make them appear read or unread. This was very convenient for messages which you read, but don't have time to reply to immediately, and want to remember to come back to later.
In contrast, the latest, greatest iPhone not only does not have this rudimentary message management function, but it goes one step further in the wrong direction. If there is just one received, unread message, and you click on the messages icon, the new message will automatically be opened. It is opened irrespective of whether you have time to read it right away, irrespective of if you simply wanted to compose a new message or go back to another already read message. It just opens the new one, and then you are in a position where you have to read it and respond to it right there, or risk forgetting about it and failing to reply to it altogether. I sometimes receive a lot of messages over a period of a few hours, so it is very easy to lose track of these half-read messages in the mayhem. I have missed countless messages because of this problem. Incidentally, if there is more than one received message, then the application doesn't automatically open any of them, which is much better, because you can at least choose when you want to open one of the unread messages. But ideally, you should be able to go through your list of received messages and check or uncheck them as read or unread at any time, so that you can easily find messages that still need to be replied to, or reconsidered.
Does anybody have a solution to this problem? It strikes me as a simple data management solution that should be, but is not an option in the basic functionality of the app. Frustrating!

Is this an IMAP account?
If so, delete the messages in Mail from all folders and quit Mail.
Go the the website and clear the messages from all folders there.
Reopen Mail and verify the messages have been deleted for all folders.

On my iPad Mini (2013), How can I make it so, only my downloaded music is shown in the Music app, and not old music I haven't downloaded/ don't want on my iPad?

When I enter the music app, I just want to listen to the music that I've downloaded onto my device, not old music I don't want, but is still shown for streaming. Any help/ideas? I don't want to have to go offline just to listen to the music I want to listen to everytime

Why would you have to go offline to listen to music? Dosn't make sense.
However, you can set the app up to just show you tracks that are actually on the device: Settings app > Music > Show All Muisc [turn OFF]

I have iTunes Match, but some of the music I loaded from CDs and I can see in the iTunes store won't play. It recognizes the album but is playing literally the only 3 songs I don't want to listen to.

How do I get to play all of my music that should be stored either on the computer or in the cloud?

Hi,
Initially your music should be in your iTunes library on your computer. Once match completes its scan, your music will have been matched or uploaded. I suggest that you add iCloud status column to song view. This will tell you what has been matched, uploaded, purchased, inelligible, duplicate or waiting. What is the status of your tracks that are not playing.
If space is not an issue, I suggest that you keep the music on the internal hard drive otherwise you can delete the tracks and play from cloud. In both instances, you should maintain a back up of all your music on a separate hard drive.

How do I save songs from old version of iTunes that I have on my iPod, as new verson is asking me to erase and sync before I can do ANYTHNG, and I don't want to lose my music!

Hi everyone,
Can anyone help?! Pleeeeease
I have recently bought a new computer (new operating system Windows 7) and downloaded the new iTunes. When I tried to add a new song to my iPod shuffle, it said I had to ERASE and SYNC my iPod to the 'new' iTunes, and there seems to be no way around it. I DON'T repeat DON'T want to lose all my music on my iPod, as I no longer have that music/my old laptop with music on, and there are so many songs on it that it would take like forever to re-download EVRYTHING.
I tried saving playlist on in iTunes, but it only saves it as a Read only file, there are no MP3's in there.
I'm tearing my hair out over this!
Any ideas?
Thanks,
Kitty

How you delete content from your iPod depends on how it is set up to sync with your iTunes library whether that be automatically or manually.
If it's automatically, you must reconfigure your settings so that the album you wish to remove is no longer configured to sync to your iPod. For example, if the Sync only checked songs and videos option is enabled from under the iPod's Summary tab, make sure all the tracks for this album do NOT have a tick mark next to them in your iPod. Then resync your iPod with iTunes.
Otherwise, if you manually manage your iPod's contents, you must manually remove content from it. You can do this by plugging your iPod in and clicking the small black triangle next to your iPod from under the Devices section in the left hand pane of iTunes. This will open up a submenu of content, so go ahead and click on Music. Locate the track or tracks you wish to delete. Highlight them and hit the Delete key or choose Edit -> Delete.

Take a look here; it should help:
iTunes for Mac: How to copy purchases between authorized computers
Though it refers to items purchased from the iTunes Store, it applies to all your iTunes content. And if you happen to also own an iPod:
How to use your iPod to move your music to a new computer
Once you have the tracks on some removable medium, you can mount that on your new computer and then just drag the content to the iTunes window. Make sure that the option to "copy files to iTunes Music folder when adding to library" is set in the iTunes -> Advanced -> General preferences before you do. Alternatively, you can use the Add To Library command and select each track (or folder of tracks).
If you won't be using that Windows system once you move the content, don't forget to deauthorize the system from your iTunes Store account before you dispose of the computer.
Regards.

A client gave me he's mini Ipad wifi as a gift.It has all his information:photos, music, contacts, etc.I also took some photos that are in camera roll. I would like to erase everithing and make it totaly mine but don't want to loos my photos and his music

A client gave me he's mini Ipad wifi as a gift.
It has all his information:photos, music, contacts, etc. I also took some photos that are in camera roll. I would like to erase everithing and make it totaly mine but don't want to loose my photos and his music which is very good. How should I do???

Resetting the settings will reset things like the wallpaper to the default. It wont remove the apps or music.
As the previous poster said, the apps and music will be tied to the previous owners Apple ID, you'll need the password to update the apps and remain authorized to play the music.
I would suggest taking your stuff off (the camera pictures) then erasing all content and settings so the iPad is like new. For privacy reasons alone I would erase the device. I realise you want to keep the music, but since you haven't paid for it (it was purchased under someone elses ID) then it isn't yours to keep, you'll need to write down the tracks and purchase them under your ID.

I don't want to import PHOTOS. I want to get only one into Lightroom for temporary work. How do I do this. (the photo is now in Photoshop Elements).

Don't want to import all photos from my camera or anywhere else. I only want to work on one image then put it back into Elements. Please tell me how to do this and I would appreciate a detailed answer. Please do not be vague.

Lightroom is not a file browser, It isn't anything like the organizer in Photoshop Elements. Lightroom uses a catalog, which is a database. That database keeps track of the location of images that have been imported, as well as all of the adjustments that you make to those images using Lightroom. The import process is a process of showing Lightroom where the images are located on your computer. You can't just open an image in Lightroom, make changes and then close it. Lightroom doesn't make changes to the original image. Your images are left in their pristine state. All the changes are stored in the catalog. And when it comes time to share an image that has been adjusted in Lightroom you need to export a copy that includes all of those changes. It's a different workflow, and one that you need to become accustomed to. I suggest that you watch a series of short tutorials that will help you understand more completely how Lightroom works.

I don't want it to "Process Album Artwork"

Every time I add audio to iTunes it says it's "Processing Album Artwork", and I don't want it to do this - there's not going to be anything in the file, and it's not going to be available on-line.
So how can I configure iTunes not to do this?

iTunes prefs -> General.
Uncheck *Automatically download missing artwork*.
there's not going to be anything in the file
There is no file unless iTunes finds artwork
*Processing Artwork* is iTunes reading the info for the tracks and then searching for the artwork.
and it's not going to be available on-line.
Why not?
There's no harm in letting to look.
