File Name Encoding resets to Roman from Cyrillic when importing into iTunes

I have added a large number of Russian songs to my library. Many of the file names were not imported using the correct file name encoding. I downloaded the file name encoding repair app and fixed all the file names in my iTunes library, but whenever I add the songs into iTunes, the names are reset to Roman encoding from Cyrillic. Is there any way to set and lock the encoding so iTunes doesn't reset it?

Fixing the filenames probably doesn't do what you need. iTunes uses the ID3 tags. See this note for info on fixing those:

How to stop system from freezing when importing into iTunes (version 7)?

Since I have installed iTunes 7, I have been unable to import music into iTunes; my computer freezes after about 10 seconds and the only thing I can do is restart the entire computer. It is extremely frustrating and I can't seem to find anyone who can help me with this issue...I'm affraid that I'm not extremely technical-savvy when it comes to these things, so any help or suggestions would be greatly appreciated!

I've found quite a few people in these discussions with this problem and I had the same one myself.
The only thing I could do (the startup disc I have was an earlier version of iTunes - I downloaded iTunes 7 from the net) is uninstall iTunes and then reinstall using the earlier disc and don't upgrade it. Unfortunately this means if you have any music in iTunes 7 you won't be able to use it.

Know why my mix from Garage Band imported into iTunes is incomplete?

I got a spankin' new iMac and I'm trying to download original Garage Band mixes (combo of midi and real instrument tracks, no more than 12) into iTunes to write a CD. Regardless of the mix format (aif, aac, mp3), when I import into iTunes, some mixes only inlcude one or two of the tracks (the songs play perfectly in Garage Band). One attempt with a song from an aif file imported into iTunes as 9 seperate files, one for each track!

What steps did you take?
Usually you would be able to export song to iTunes via Share --> Send song to iTunes...
I never encountered any problems but maybe you are doing something different?

IPod touch won't play ANY music, only skips. All music plays when FROM ipod when plugged into iTunes. No, songs are not corrupt, I was playing an album through iTunes from my iPod and for no reason iTunes froze and now I'm having issues with my iPod.

So I was playing an album from my iPod through iTunes like normal, and the album ended. I switched to iTunes view to change to a new one and it said "iPod is done syncing" (I did not choose to sync, nor did anything appear different). I tried to click on a song to play and iTunes froze. I had to restart iTunes and when I ejected my iPod (properly) the syncing sign was still turning on my iPod. As of now my iPod only skips through every song I try to play, but when I plug it into iTunes every song FROM my iPod plays perfectly.
No, I do not want to "factory reset" my iPod. No I do not wish to do anything crazy long or hard to fix this. Everything was working fine before when it decided to do this with very little effort, therefore I would like it fixed with very little effort.
I have tried resycing my iPod multiple times (every time I eject it from iTunes it appears to do so properly [iPod icon goes away] but the syncing icon still appears on my iPod).
I have almost 58 GB of music on my iPod so I'm not interested in starting from scratch. Also a good portion of my music is on a computer I don't have access to anymore so that's out of the question. Since the music seems to be uncorrupted (still plays from iPod in iTunes) I want a way to fix this iPod issue without having to erase anything.

Try:
- Reset the iOS device. Nothing will be lost
Reset iOS device: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
- Unsync all music and resync
- Reset all settings
Go to Settings > General > Reset and tap Reset All Settings.
All your preferences and settings are reset. Information (such as contacts and calendars) and media (such as songs and videos) aren’t affected.
- Restore from backup. See:
iOS: How to back up
- Restore to factory settings/new iOS device.
If still problem, make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store since it appears you have a hardware problem.

You said:
No, I do not want to "factory reset" my iPod. No I do not wish to do anything crazy long or hard to fix this.
That may be necessary, It is not what you want to do/not do but what is required to resolve your problem.

Odd frames added to start of audio export from LPX when imported into FCPX

Running into a weird issue exporting audio out of Logic Pro (10.0.6) for import into FCPX (10.1.1) - Logic is introducing extra frames (varies between 2 to 4 frames) at the front of exported audio, becomes detectable when imported back into FCPX.
I do a lot of work where I sync music performances on camera that are recorded in audio and MIDI, and have to deliver remixed audio with picture AND a .MID file that all sync. Workflow used to be shoot video on a C100 and another DSLR with either an audio feed or live mic patched to the camera, while Logic recorded the MIDI performance and any ambient audio via separate mics and pres. Shoot always had some kind of "slated" start marker on camera, in camera audio, and in Logic. Camera edits were edited in FCPX, exported as a Quicktime with the "slate" for a start marker, then audio and MIDI handled in Logic.
This always used to work thru to last fall, when we took a hiatus.
Upon resuming some final shooting in the last two weeks, our audio edits are always running 2-4 frames behind FCPX. It's a consistent offset for an entire export (so there's no drift, no jitter within the files - but the slate tones might be 2 frames and 17 subframes behind and the whole audio file runs behind.) Another export might be 3 frames 2 subframes behind. Always kind of random in the amount of drift - but never more than 4 frames.
Tried a test where I imported just the camera audio in Logic as an extracted audio track, then exported same audio file back to the Quicktime but left the original audio in the video - Logic's exported audio ran behind sync from the original.
Obviously, I'm paying attention to frame rates, sample rates, etc.
As a test, I exported an XML out of FCPX, imported it into Logic, performed some edits, and used the File>Export>Project to FinalCut Pro XML - so everything matched across the board. Opened the export in FCPX - audio ran behind sync again.
If it was just audio I was concerned about, I'd just line it up in FCPX and call it done - but my exported MIDI file NEEDS to be in sync with the picture AND the audio... and wasting time calculating the Logic offset error is a huge detour from getting this work done quickly.
I thought maybe there could be a plug-in issue, but it happened even in the extracted audio from the Quicktime with no plug-ins in any of the signal chains.
Any ideas?

Well… here's a clunky workaround.
It's either a problem with the exported FCPX-XML or the way Logic Pro X interprets the XML.
The simple test here was to put a clip in the FCPX timeline and export it as an AIFF and then export an XML too.
Import the XML into Logic, then import the AIFF as a new track. By default the Logic project is 120BPM. By analyzing the xml-based track and the aiff track, the xml track has an added 164 ticks to the beginning of the referenced video-audio.
Move the playhead to zero, zoom in to the timeline and drag the tick field to 164 then blade all your tracks, then click/drag the bladed tracks to zero. Voila!
It seems to only affect the first audio file. So for example, when I have 10 video clips in my FCPX timeline, only the first audio clip has the added 164 ticks.
Now on to the next challenge…
It's not enough to just de-compound your clips because L and J cuts get referenced to the VIDEO, not the audio underneath.
So… In FCPX you MUST select each clip and choose Break Apart Clip Items from the Clip Menu. Perhaps this is old news but thought I'd mention it here in case others were having problems.
Let's hope Apple steps up their xml game and realizes that when I choose export XML-Audio from the xml popup menu… I want it to send the duration of the audio, not the duration of the attached video.
Ergh! Well… as my friends say… "We're still in the stone age with all this technology."
Happy editing all!

No video when imported into itunes yet vid when file outside

This is really weird
i converted 2 videos i had by using quicktime video player to convert it to ipod format
if i leave these 2 videos on the desktop right click and choose play in itunes they play perfectly in the itunes window or fukk screen
Yet if i import them into itunes when they play in itunes they dont show vidoe only audio
delete from itunes and play from outside itunes again and the video is back!
they play perfectly in quicktime player
Any ideas what the heck is causing this? they are standard m4v conversions.
I tried deleting them completely and reconverting with quicktime and exact same results

ok i think i figured something out
it now does this with all my videos in itunes BUT
if i pause any video and restart it the video suddenly appears and plays
its a pain to have to play stop and then play every-time though

How can I stop Compulations CDs from being broken up into multiple different Albums when imported into Itunes?

I am currently using Itunes 10.6.1.7. When I attempt to import my CDs, any that are Compulation Cds (with multiple artists), the CDs aren't being imported into the same folder and are broken into multiple listing in my Itunes library.
How can change this so that they are imported only by Album?

I think even using Get Info may not reveal the change, though it is possible the behaviour has altered since I last tested it. Playing or updating the tracks location in a script such as UpdateTagInfo seems to get iTunes to re-evaluate the tag.
Assuming WMP is involved it may be best to make the necessary settings adjustments to prevent further changes, use the script to get all of the background changes exposed within iTunes, then correct as you see fit. Alternatively I do have another script called ExportImport that could be used to back up the current state of your tags (you should temporarily rename the media folder during the export phase), after which you would then run UpdateTagInfo and then use ExplortImport in its import mode to restore the corrupted data.

Why does illustrator create white boxes from shadows when imported into indesign

When a logo created in illustrator cs4 has either shadows applied or gaussian blurs applied on letter shapes and is then put into a frame/picture box in indesign with a coloured background, it brings in white boxes. It does not happen in illustrator when a coloured box is placed on a layer down. If anyone has come across the same problem or knows why it's happening, please let me know. pic attached
Many Thanks

look at post 6 which says
Your transparency blend space needs to match you output color space.
To simplify it for now, if you are outputting to a RGB device, change your color mode to RGB before printing. Undo back to cmyk to continue working on the document.
Does this solve your issue?

Duplicated files when importing into itunes

Hi,
My hard drive seems to have copies of songs both in the My Music folder and the iTunes folder as well. I gather it means I have two copies of everything. Is this normal for iTunes to do this and is it ok to delete the copies which aren't in the iTunes folder?

Folks, you've posted your question in the iTunes for Mac forum. You will probably get a better response in the iTunes for Windows forum.

For the last week while using iTunes(Windows 7) i have not been able to get the names of songs from CDDB when importing CDs. Very frustrating! Can anyone help me out?

CDDB in itunes is not bringing up the name of songs on CDs when importing into itunes. This has been going on for a couple of weeks. Any help?

I have, a couple different pairs, unfortunately, and still no change. TBH, the headphones don't bug me nearly as bad as the fact that I can't plug my iPod into a radio or speaker with an audio cable and hear my latest purchases. Drives me crazy that I can't listen to my tunes!

"The file name was invalid or too long" appears when I try to copy music form a CD to my computer using Windoww XP

ter using Windows XP

Go to the songs view sorted as Album by Artist. Select, for example, the songs of artists whose names begin A-E. Right-click and click consolidate files. Assuming this group consolidate without error move on to another group, say F-J. If there is an error divide the original group into smaller chunks until you can isolate which tracks are causing a problem.

My music is on a nas loaded by Windows Media Player in WAV. When I import into Itunes only the songs appear no album name etc.

My music is on a nas. Loaded using windows media player in WAV.
When I import into Itunes only the record apears, no Album name etc
How can can I see all the details

Information is often stored as tags embedded in the file. WAV does not support tagging. I don't know how WMP works but iTunes keeps its own database about media. For many audio formats, track information will be stored both in iTunes' database and in the file itself as tags. With formats such as mp3 most tags (not all) will 'travel' with the file when copied. This does not happen with WAV where the information is only stored in the player application's database.

File/folder behaviour when importing in iTunes?

I've recently purchased an iPhone 3G. I've also got a substantial mp3 collection (121GB), all ordered in a Genre/Artist/Album subfolder structure. Every file has an ID3 tag properly filled out.
As you can tell I'm an organized person - at least when it comes to music.
I need to know, when I hit the "Import folder", what will happen in the hard drive: Will my folders be modified in any way by iTunes? Or will iTunes create a separate folder with the +same songs+ in it, but just a different order/filetype? Will the new files (or the old files) have some sort of modification done to them, like a format change or a different tag added?
I'd like it if iTunes could "read" my files, but I don't want them modified or doubled-up - that would just ruin all the work I've done and take too much space.
How does iTunes manage the original files and the new files once I import them?

Wow - this was a crucial find for me. I just converted to Win7 64bit with a fresh install of all programs including iTunes. When I went to import my library I checked the "Keep iTunes Media files Organized" not knowing exactly what the impact would be. I found out that it completely re-wrote the native folder and filenames in different scenarios (in windows explorer). Once a file was imported into iTunes it hated special character like hyphens or commas ultimately converting them to underscores. Itunes also combined some albums into a single album/folder like Elton John's Greatest Hits 1970-2002 instead of keeping 2 seperate albums for each disc. Other scenarios I was experiencing was basically rewritten incomplete album names. With nearly 40,000 songs (485GB) on my hard drive (8000 songs on my ipod) it was extremely painful to see names being changed without rhyme or reason.
Simply unchecking both of those boxes got me back to my naming and filing conventions. Essentially back to good with no further conversion of special characters or file names.
Unfortunately now I am going back and re-correcting all of the folders and files that were changed under the "checked" settings. Much happier with the organization of the database now.
Thanks for sharing the note.

Why would you think this? That's an ignorant assumption to make.
Your media is only where you put it.
Either move it from the old computer or restore it from the backup of the old computer.
