File name gets renamed when imported to iTunes?

Recently I've been using a program called 4K Youtube to MP3 to export files from my youtube channel. Since I won't be having access to the computer with the original mp3 files anymore, I started downloading files from youtube. Everything was going well, until yesterday, when I downloaded a set of playlists like I had always been doing.
The problem I got was when I downloaded the youtube songs and accessed them through finder, they were named the same title as the video on youtube. However, when I opened the file and imported it to iTunes like I had always been doing, all the songs had been somehow renamed to DNBosarusRex, artist renamed to DJ Dream. I had only gotten this error after using a file renamer to get rid of things like [Free] from the mp3 file title, but even after redownloading I still got the same problem. Anyway to fix this?

BUMP I'm also trying to do the same thing and also experiencing the same issues!

INCX file names gets mangled when transfered to Windows

When I export my InCopy articles from InDesign CS3, I can choose the file name BUT InDesign adds some of the text within the article to the file name.
If special Scandinavian characters is in the file names and we pack the files with zip compression, the file names gets corrupted and the editors can't check in the files to edit them.
How do we pack the files in a way so that this corruption does not happen. Yes, we can burn a hybrid CD-R but since we need to distribute the files over the internet, this is not an option for us...
/Dennis

Can't say I'm familiar with Scandinavian characters but could you give
us a bit more to go on? Like a before and after comparison of the names?
Does this happen if you're all working locally? If working remotely why
aren't you using the package feature?

File names get jumbled when using Add Folder to Library

I have a set of .mp3 files created by playing vinyl LPs into a software sound recorder. Each of these is named with a number as the first two characters of the file name (the track number) and then the name of the song.
I create the appropriate folder with the ArtistName and subfolder with the AlbumName in the Itunes directory and then copy the .mp3 files into the subfolder.
My problem occurs when I 'Add Folder to Library'. The .mp3 files don't change, but the names of the tracks listed in the Itunes library are goofed up. There is no strict pattern, but mainly it shows the 3rd track having the 2nd track's name, the 4th track has the 3rd track's name, etc. I have to go back and rename all the tracks to make the Itunes Library match the actual .mp3 files. (I can tell they are mis-assigned by the file sizes).
It might be a Windows-only thing, I'm not sure. Any idea how I can make the Itunes Library match its index to the actual files added when importing? Or is there some other technique I should use to import these .mp3 files?
It is possible it is related to the fact that that initially the internal data in the .mp3 files merely shows 'Freecorder' for the Album and Artist in every file.
Where can I report this as an 'official' bug to Apple?

Actually, your suggestion was somewhat helpful. It wasn't the 'Freecorder' in the Artist and Album slots. But when I look at the properties of the files generated by Freecorder in Windows Explorer, it appears the internal file names are being mis-matched with the actual .mp3 file names, so it's Freecorder that's creating the problem.
Interesting. OK, It looks like it isn't an Itunes problem after all. But it's easy enough to edit the internal properties tags (Windows Explorer/ Right-Click / Properties / Summary) before I add the folder to Itunes.
Thanks.

Retain file names in layers when importing

Is it possible in Illustrator CC to import 40 files and have each layer retain the file name
When I import multiple files each image layer is labeled <image>
Thanks!

Simply open the comp that is created when you import an AI file as a composition. You're making work for yourself.
You are not understanding how After Effects treats assets. Each asset is the size of the asset with the anchor point in the center. Retaining layer sizes means each layer in the Illustrator file is imported in a folder as a separate asset the size of the layer. It's the same with Photoshop files imported as a composition.

Dot file names get truncated when pdf from INDD

We noticed that if the setting in windows xp is "hide file extension for known file types" is selected any file name in INDD that contains a "dot" will be truncated when the pdf file name is generated. Is there any way that INDD can be modified to see a "dot" used in a file name. (such as st-809.4.indd)

Don't hide file extensions? In my book, that's a bad setting, anyway.

Printer share name gets renamed when saving with -1

Often (but not always) when I change a seemingly unrelated setting (like channel, encryption, NTP...) the printer name gets appended with " - 1"
Canon MP780 FAX - 1 - 1 - 1 - 1 - 1 - 1 - 1 - 1 - 1
Is the current name. This is really frustrating people as you might imagine and confusing to boot.
What's up?

Files Renamed when importing to LR4 and now can't find them in LR3

Help! What should I do???
Yesterday I installed LR 4 Beta. I had a folder with 300 images in it on LR 3, obviously all files had names. I imported these photos into LR4 to work with LR4 and they were renamed in the process. Now in my LR3 folder, all the files still have there old names and the "missing photo ?" and I assume that's because the name has been changed and LR3 can't find them. Any thoughts on an easy fix?
Thanks,
Matthew Kraus

Thanks so much for helping me with this.
I must admit, I didn't pay too much attention when importing this "test"
group of photos to LR4, therein lies my problem. Now that I look at the
import settings that were used:
1. Files were not added or copied, they were "moved" to a new location and
also renamed.
2. Files were renamed starting with "264" using my regular import template.
Listed below are the first 10 photos with their original LR3 and he
changed LR4 names.
1201_001 changed to 1201_264-2
1201_002 changed to 1201_265-2
1201_003 changed to 1201_266-2
1201_004 changed to 1201_267-2
1201_005-Edit-Edit changed to 1201_268-2
1201_005-Edit changed to 1201_269-2
1201_005-Edit changed to 1201_270-2
1201_005-Edit-Edit-2 changed to 1201_271-2
I have a back up of my images on an EHD from several days ago which has the
original file names, but this backup only has 203 of the 268 images I
imported yesterday and are renamed.
Thanks again,
Matthew Kraus

Is there some secret to getting Pentax K-3 .dng files to display thumbnails when importing to an iPad (mini w/retina)? Files import fine, but no thumbnail. Mac OS has compatability with those files.

Is there some secret to getting Pentax K-3 .dng files to display thumbnails when importing to an iPad (mini w/retina)? Files import fine, but no thumbnail. Mac OS had compatibility with those files added long ago. Am I missing something?

I agree Terrance. However, I was able to copy other large batches of other files (my music for example) without any issues. The issue only showed up when copying iPhoto's library and/or the photos themselves. This was repeated 3 times; I copied all my other files to the drive then it unmounted on iPhoto. And, as I said, again when I started with a fresh reformat and just iPhoto. That does not seem like hardware to me if it is only happening with one set of files.
I have managed to get the iPhoto library to work on my other external drive. It wanted a rebuild twice and a thumbnail rebuild once. I am now attempting to copy it over to the new HGST internal drive.
Anyone have a suggestion for alternatives to iPhoto? I have aperture, maybe I will try that. But from what I understand, it just shares the same library as iPhoto.

Prores files not recognized... most of the time [message -- file '[file name].mov' cannot be imported – this 'MooV' file is damaged or unsupported.]

Running AE CC 13.2 on iMac with Yosemite 10.10.2
I just started getting an error message when trying to import any number of ProRes 422 (HQ) files.
file ‘[file name].mov’ cannot be imported – this ‘MooV’ file is damaged or unsupported.
This happens approximately 90% of the time. There have been occasions where I can open and view files of this type.
I have gone through the various troubleshooting options here:
http://blogs.adobe.com/aftereffects/2013/08/solutions-for-problems-with-quicktime-files-in -after-effects-cc-12-0-because-of-conflict-with-dvcprohdvideoout-quicktime-component.html
I reinstalled ProApps to no avail.
Permissions are fine.
Creative Cloud recently updated AE over the past few days. Perhaps this incremental update fouled something up? Last weekend, things worked perfectly fine.
I have also noticed that it takes a lot longer to load AE (since using last weekend). I have used Time Machine to roll the application back to last week's version to see if that helps.
Any insight is appreciated.

The update last week was just to Adobe Camera RAW and not really AE. It would be unlikely to cause the issues you describe. Have you tried turning your Mac all the way off and then back on again?

I have pdf files which get locked when i submit for conversion to either word or rt? Joe DeFalco

Hi, what do you mean when you say they get "locked"?

The words in the .docx (MSWord 2010) file are getting merged when the file is transferred to another computer for printing. What could be the reason?

The words in my .docx file are getting merged when the file is transferred to another computer for printing. For eg. the sentence "rate of success ......" is displayed as "rateof success" on the other computer. What could
be the reason for this? How to solve this issue?

Have you checked that the document is using the exact same font on both machines? If the second machine doesn't have the font installed that's used in the original document on the first machine, Word will pick the closest matching font, and that may
display slightly differently.

Help in regards to file names when importing to iTunes.

I recently bought an iPod and I'm dying to use it but at the moment, I can't due to an annoyance I have. I have all my mp3's neatly organized like this: Artist - Song Name.mp3
The thing is, that's only the file name. I never bothered to modify their ID tags. When I play the songs in iTunes, it sometimes looks like a mess but I didn't mind since I just simply looked for the songs I wanted via the Finder. As you know, to hear tracks on the iPod, you gotta copy your playlist from iTunes so that means that all those tracks with their gibberish names get passed to the iPod. As you can imagine, this is less than convenient as I won't obviously be able to recognize the darn songs. I am further stressed due to the huge amount of songs I have and since it wasn't until recently that I switched to Mac (best decision ever...), I have a huge library of songs that were never identified on my PC. All I did was basically typed in the artist name followed by the song title.
I browsed through some sites in hopes of finding something that would help me but I have to admit, I barely understand just what I am exactly looking for.
I would really appreciate your help in any way possible, I'd really like to enjoy my iPod as soon as possible.

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:
