Editing lyrics in multiple files

This is not an option in iTunes as far as I can tell. I also can't find any 3rd party application to edit multiple files' lyrics at once. I'd like to be able to choose a group of songs, and edit the lyrics to be the same for that batch in one shot without having to edit one file at a time. *I use Apple Lossless format and need any 3rd party editor to support that type.*
Anyone know a way to do this? I don't want automatic searches, I want to have control over the content of those fields. With any luck, Apple will add this as a multiple file-editing option like they did with the sort fields in the last update. I was glad to see that!
Thanks and I hope someone can suggest a solution!

I just added the ability to edit the Lyrics of all selected tracks to this program:
http://home.comcast.net/~teridon73/itunesscripts/index.html#itunes_info
WARNING: This program is so ugly, it may damage your retinas! You may wish to cover your eyes and peek through your fingers to lessen the damage.
If you don't know what Perl is, just get the "exe" version, which will download as a zip. Extract the ZIP to a folder.
Select the tracks you want to change in iTunes, then run the itunes_info.exe. Check the box beside the Lyrics field and type or paste the lyrics you want. Then click OK.
The lyrics for all the selected tracks will be changed to whatever you put in the box.
The forum TOS requires me to say: "I may receive some form of compensation, financial or otherwise, from my recommendation or link" because I have a paypal donation link on my webpage, but the program is free (donation totally optional)

Editing Lyrics for Multiple Songs

is it possible to edit lyrics for more than one song at a time. it is very annoying to right click each song then click the lyrics tab and editing the lyrics in there. thank you!

I assume you mean being able to add the same lyrics to the same song that appears multiple times in your library (album version, live version, etc.)?
I don't think there is a way other than entering something in the search box to narrow the list to those songs only, click the first one, Get Info, Lyrics tab, paste in lyrics, then hitting the NEXT button on the bottom to go to the next track which will open still in the lyrics tab so you can paste again, next, paste, next, paste, etc.

Editing info for multiple files in Itunes, not working

Ok, first off, I'm a BRAND NEW Mac user and having a few problems crossing over. Here's the deal...
I've got an external hard drive with about 200 Gigs of music all in separate folders. I'm loading all my songs into Itunes, but keeping them copied only to my external drive...no problem.
However, some of the songs in Itunes are showing up with no artist and/or album names because this info is not in the ID3 tags (im assuming) of the mp3s.
When I goto "get info" and try to manually type in the artist name/album name and click "ok"...NOTHING CHANGES. They still show up in the list blank. Why aren't my edits to the files changing? How can I fix this?
Thanks in advance for all your help everyone!

Does it matter that this drive used to be used only on my windows machine?
Yes it does.
Post over here and ask about it -> http://discussions.apple.com/forum.jspa?forumID=1225
See if it is formatted FAT32 or NTFS and include that info.

How to attach multiple file in one mail

Hi,
I've problems with sending multiple files via Gmail account (Ipad version) When sending the photo or video, I've to just click the photo and choose send to mail one by one. Any simpler way? Sometimes i did sent both mpg and jpg but the reciepient didn't see any attachment too
Anyone can help advise how to attach different file (doc, video, photo) in one mail will be a lot appreciated. Thank you so much

You can attach multiple pictures to an email on an ipad2. Don't know about original iPad.
Choose a photo or take a screen shot (hold down home button and button next to volume control at same time--screen shot now will appear in photos).
Go to photos and edit your picture or screen shot, save it, then hold down on the image and copy it.
Go to mail, create a new mail and paste it in.
Save you mail as a draft.
Go back to photos and select a different photo, copy it, and return to your draft, and paste it in. Repeat if you need to add more.
Anything that you can take a screen shot or have an photo of can be pasted in one at a time into that draft email.
If mail gets uncooperative, during this process, then double click on home button and quit multitasking mail, then open up mail again and send your draft. Uncooperative means gets frozen.

How do I use Finder to modify file details in multiple files

I am new to the mac (OS10.7.4) having recently transitioned from Windows (and go way back to CPM - for those that remember). I am trying to achieve through finder what I can do in windows explorer by selecting multiple files, selecting properties and then selecting (and then modifying) details. I tried the similar thing on Finder using Get Info instead of Properties but only ended up with multiple windows, one for each file selected (and had to close each one individually! ). Tried 'option-command-I' on multiple selected files, it worked, but the common tags that I wanted to alter where not available for editing. I can simply, but clumsily, achieve the outcome I want by cutting and pasting the files to a usb stick, making the modifications on the windows machine and pasting them back on the mac. This should be a simple basic operating system function regardless of platform - advice on how to find/achieve it appreciated!

I find it best to use small little apps to help modify many files. Just serach for what you want to change and more often then not, you find software that does what you need, often free too.
For Music tags: check out the free program "TriTag" to do what you want:
http://www.feedface.com/projects/tritag.html
For Music conversion (say, from FLAC to Apple Lossless) or MP3 to whatever... Use "XLD" (free)
http://download.cnet.com/X-Lossless-Decoder/3000-2140_4-189505.html
Bonus: VLC (free download) - has the ability to convert wma audio files, which is amazing, it's rare to find mac software that will convert wma to mp3 - http://9thport.net/2010/07/28/using-os-x-to-convert-wma-to-mp3-for-free/
For file renaming in batch, I use "Name Mangler" - 10 bucks, app store.
It has a lot of pro features and is very useful.
good luck.

Best way for multiple files in vim?

I've been trying out vim for a couple of weeks now, and I must say that I like it. I use it mostly for programming at work (a couple of hours per day).
One thing I haven't settled on is how to use a single vim instance to edit multiple files. I've tried tabs and have been reading about vim+screen (how does yank + paste work between vim instances under screen, btw?).
Which method would you recommend?

ArchArael wrote:
Ramses de Norre wrote:A combination of tabnew, split and vsplit
That's also my case. I also prefer gvim over vim because of better font rendering and major amount of colors. I don't use screen proficiently but suppose you can use "+y for copying and "+gp for pasting.
You could map these combination to some keyboard shortcut.
By the way...sorry if offtopic.
I can see why many of users use screen. I use it only if I have to keep active a job over a ssh session. Locally I prefer tabs or multiple terminal windows instead.
when you're connected to a remote computer, you don't want to reconnect for each terminal tab. so you use screen and get used to the shortcuts and use it at your local pc too.

Multiple file links in a single page: A better way to/efficient way to handle ?

Aloha Everyone!
I would like to ask the community how they have handled multiple file links in a single page. Sort of a pseudo database of files.
Here is the webpage I have been working on:http://huichawaii.org/
Here is what I have done to show files so far:
old version:http://huichawaii.org/proceedings---2012-education%2c-math---engineering-technology.html
new version: http://huichawaii.org/ahs2013-proceedings.html
The website works best in Chrom or Firefox, still have to convert the flash header to an edge animate .
Mahalo in advance for everyone's input!

Depending on what other text you might have, you could use the data list component.
To get the text to have underlines, you will need to edit the repeated item. You can also adjust colors and fonts as well. The default rollover and selected states will probably not be the UI that want, so make sure you change those as well.
Now for the interactivity, select the datalist, and use the interactions panel, choose "On Select", then "Go To Url", the trick is to make sure the "When a specific item is selected" is also set. Here are the basic settings to get your links working:
Add new interactions for each item you want to be functional.

Hi I am looking for a way to have trace32 open multiple files on remote computers

Simply put I am looking for someone who could afford to give me a basic script (vbs) that I could run from an elevated command prompt. It would need to be available for me to type in the name of a remote computer or (mulitple if possible) and also
allow me to choose log files to open or multiple files and then open them using trace 32. Hopefully it would detect the available log files and show me what is available to choose to open... anyone know of such a thing or know how to go about setting up something
like this for people to use?
EDIT
I was able to create a basic script to do what I wanted but I want to be able to add wildcards for the rollover logs... Can someone suggest the easiest way to do that as I am not sure how to add the wildcards directly before the .log
here is the script.
' ******Created by Luis Delgado*********
'This script will get a remote computers .log files depending on which documents you enter in the "files to open on remote computer using trace32" section
'Get and open log files on remote Computer
on error resume next
Set WshShell = Wscript.CreateObject("Wscript.Shell")
strcomputer = inputbox("Enter remote computer name or leave as localhost for this computer","Get log files from a remote computer with Trace32","Localhost")
If strComputer = "" Then
WScript.Quit
End If
'Opens trace32
wshShell.run "C:\Program Files\ConfigMgr 2007 Toolkit\CCM Tools\Trace32.exe"
'Files to open on remote computer using trace32
wshShell.Run "\\" & strcomputer & "\c$\Windows\System32\CCM\Logs\datatransferservice.log"
wshShell.Run "\\" & strcomputer & "\c$\Windows\System32\CCM\Logs\ccmexec.log"
wshShell.Run "\\" & strcomputer & "\c$\Windows\System32\CCM\Logs\locationservices.log"
!!!!NOTE!!!
What I need is for any file that starts with datatransferservices, ccmexec, or locationservices to open in trace32
my thought would be place a wild card in its respective spots but it does not work see below
wshShell.Run "\\" & strcomputer & "\c$\Windows\System32\CCM\Logs\datatransferservice*.log"
wshShell.Run "\\" & strcomputer & "\c$\Windows\System32\CCM\Logs\ccmexec*.log"
wshShell.Run "\\" & strcomputer & "\c$\Windows\System32\CCM\Logs\locationservices*.log"

The roll over logs all have the same name exact the extension is .lo_ , So.. I'm not sure what you are looking for.

Can't process multiple files on one of three catalogs

After getting straightened out about getting my catalogs in order, which I've done, I've run into another problem. I have three catalogs one for People, one for Things and one I call Workplace where I try out things that are new to me so I don't mess up my main catalogs.
I've straightened out the files in my Things catalog. I have one catagory that contains images of autograph book pages from the late 1800s. Those scans were done in JPEG some time ago. I've tried using multiple processing to change these 55 images to psd in the original file to be consistent with the rest of the catalog. Each time the process fails.
In order to see what the problem might be I have copied the catagory file into both of my other catalogs and have been able to process the catagory file back into itself as psd. I have also created another small file in the Things catalog and tried to convert it and had the same result. The warning info box that appears when copying back into the same file states that the original files will be overwritten. The psd files do not overwrite the jpg files. They are added to the original file. That may be the way it is intended to be. That's not a real problem.
The real question is why can't I process multiple files in the original catalog. I have looked at the error file and, although I don't know much about most of it, I found the following in the first part of the file.
crash exception="EXCEPTION_ACCESS_VIOLATION"
I run XP SP3 and PSE 8. I am a single user with administrator rights. I find no mention of a permission filter in the PSE 8 program.
I'm stuck until I solve this problem and I need help getting it done. Any suggestions or information will be greatly appreciated.

One thing to try : instead of using 'process multiple files', can you use the 'export' feature in the Organizer to export the jpegs of that category in psd format into a new folder ?

How can I export an edited image to a file?

I can't seem to find a way in iPhoto 09 do this. Can I export an edited image to a file, keeping the edits intact, or do I have to use a 3rd party editing app when I edit from inside iPhoto 09?
I would prefer to use iPhoto's editing tools so should I import previously cropped images into iPhoto? If yes, what file should I use? I was wondering if anyone does this on a regular basis and if there issues doing this.
I like the editing tools in iPhoto very much. In other apps I have always cropped, resized, corrected levels and a bit of color. I am not a power user by any means and I am close to doing this all in iPhoto if I could only export the edited image to a file.
The reason I want to do this is because the printing portion of my work flow is to upload files to my merchant who prints them and are ready for nearby pickup within an hour. This is all done at a very reasonable price and the color accuracy is very close.
Any advice would be greatly appreciated.
Regards,
Jim

You can edit from iPhoto by dragging to the desktop or exporting using the File -> Export command, setting the Kind to anything except original.
But you probably don’t need to:
There are many, many ways to access your files in iPhoto:
*For Users of 10.5 Only*
You can use any Open / Attach / Browse dialogue. On the left there's a Media heading, your pics can be accessed there. Apple-Click for selecting multiple pics.
Uploaded with plasq's Skitch!
You can access the Library from the New Message Window in Mail:
Uploaded with plasq's Skitch!
*For users of 10.4 and 10.5* ...
Many internet sites such as Flickr and SmugMug have plug-ins for accessing the iPhoto Library. If the site you want to use doesn’t then some, one or any of these will also work:
To upload to a site that does not have an iPhoto Export Plug-in the recommended way is to Select the Pic in the iPhoto Window and go File -> Export and export the pic to the desktop, then upload from there. After the upload you can trash the pic on the desktop. It's only a copy and your original is safe in iPhoto.
This is also true for emailing with Web-based services. However, if you're using Gmail you can use iPhoto2GMail
If you use Apple's Mail, Entourage, AOL or Eudora you can email from within iPhoto.
If you use a Cocoa-based Browser such as Safari, you can drag the pics from the iPhoto Window to the Attach window in the browser.
*If you want to access the files with iPhoto not running*:
Create a Media Browser using Automator (takes about 10 seconds) or use this free utility Karelia iMedia Browser
Other options include:
1. *Drag and Drop*: Drag a photo from the iPhoto Window to the desktop, there iPhoto will make a full-sized copy of the pic.
2. *File -> Export*: Select the files in the iPhoto Window and go File -> Export. The dialogue will give you various options, including altering the format, naming the files and changing the size. Again, producing a copy.
3. *Show File*: Right- (or Control-) Click on a pic and in the resulting dialogue choose 'Show File'. A Finder window will pop open with the file already selected.

Using script on multiple files in a folder.

THis has GOT to be easy, but I can't figure it out.
Walgreens wants you to email photos to them, but I usually do like 50 photos at a time. So, I created a script that takes an object and emails it. The problem is, I don't know how to do it to one photo, then the next, etc. It will do all the photos, but that is one HUGE email!
So that's my question. How do I get the script to run individually on multiple files?
Thanks in advance.
Dave

Copy, paste, edit (where appropriate), and save - the code below as an application (AppleScript applet):
-- Code starts here --
property toAddress : "[email protected]"
property tSubject : "Please process my photo(s)."
on run {}
my send_Photos(choose file with multiple selections allowed)
end run
on open (dItems)
my send_Photos(dItems)
end open
on send_Photos(tItems)
with timeout of 0 seconds
tell application "Mail"
repeat with i in tItems
try
set tMessage to make new outgoing message with properties {visible:true}
tell tMessage
make new to recipient at end of to recipients with properties {address:toAddress}
set subject to tSubject
tell application "Finder" to set fname to displayed name of i
set content to ("Attached is the photo: '" & fname & "'." & return & return)
tell content to make new attachment with properties {file name:i} at end of last word of last paragraph
send
end tell
end
end repeat
end tell
end timeout
end send_Photos
-- Code ends here --
Double click on the applet and select the desired file(s), or drag the desired file(s) onto the applet - for further processing.

Hi AMSI,
Did you try to run only the interface? It might not work.
Try executing your interface from within a package. A previous step should refresh / set the variable.

Can't create a multiple file PDF from PDF forms created in Designer

Hi
I want to create a single PDF which combines 6 pdf forms created in Adobe Designer (all as separate pages).
When I try to create a single PDF from these multiple files using the "Create a PDF from Multiple files" command, my A-3D won't let me do this returning a dialog box saying
"The file "filename.pdf" is protected. It cannot be used for this command".
I can't find any properties that control this, either in the original file or in A-3D. Can I overcome this and how?
Many thanks in anticipation.
Phil

Designer-created files aren't really PDF files any more and cannot be
edited or combined in Acrobat (including Acrobat 3D). You CAN make a
package of them, however, in Combine Files.

Add a watermark to multiple files within a PDF Portfolio in Acrobat X Pro?

Can I add a watermark to multiple files within a PDF Portfolio in Acrobat X Pro? If so, how? It appears as though it is a removed option.

I've figured this out. (kind of) not using PDF Portfolio; where you could apply watermark to multiple files in Acrobat 9.
I'm answering my own question in case there are others looking to add a watermark to multiple files.
Step 1: Open a single file
Step 2: Tools>Pages>Watermark>Add Watermark
Step 3: In bottom of Watermark Edit Box, Select "Apply to Multiple"
Step 4: Select "Add Files
etc etc.
