Fontbook question - viewing by date added?

Can you view fonts in the order they were added in Fontbook? I added a few dozen fonts and now my CS apps are running super slow. I'm guessing one or more of the fonts is messed up, but I can't remember what I added!!

Hello, did you validate all fonts & check for duplicates in Fontbook?
In the Finder you should be able to tell in List view, sort by Date Modified.

Import tracks in album order when viewing by Date Added

I've seen some older posts regarding this, but nothing recently. Here's my issue, and I can't believe more people aren't up in arms about it:
I keep iTunes sorted by Date Added, so that my latest stuff is at the top -- pretty normal for a music listener, right?
Say I have a folder of mp3s and I drag them into iTunes. For a long time in years past, even though you're dragging the entire album in, they would just get added in the order that iTunes wanted, rather than in album order. Then, at some point recently, I assume after an update to iTunes (?), they magically started being added in the correct order. I was really happy about this, as the random order entire albums were added in was extremely annoying.
Now something's happened and the old behavior is back.
Does anyone know how to drag an album's worth of mp3s into iTunes and have iTunes load them in in *album* order, so that when you view by Date Added, they show your album as it would look on the back of a cd or whatever, in the correct order?

This won't directly answer your question, but I find that if I make a playlist of the album, then they appear in the correct order in that playlist.

Albums view by date added

Hi, I really like the new Albums view. I would like it to show me my newest albums first (not by year but by date added). I can do that in the Songs view, which is just super boring, and I can create a playlist containing my newest music, but then I am stuck with this huge sidebar, that I don't know how to get rid off (and a big useless title bar that just shows me the name of the playlist). I think the Playlists view really *****... Is there another way? Thank you

I know what you want to do, and unfortunately you cannot do it. The only way you can sort by date added is in the songs tab. The downside is that there is no album art which spoils the point. It would be nice to sort the albums tab by date added so you can find the newest music in an instant rather than search through your library.
A simple solution -- The Zune software has the feature and the interface is cleaner (see attached picture). I use Zune to listen to music and iTunes to sync. If iTunes would be able to sort albums by date added that would eliminate my need for Zune.
Hear that Apple??? Simple solution that every use can benefit from.

When I sort by date added in Column View in Finder, how can I make the most recent files appear at the top of the list?(Mavericks)

In 10.8, when I sorted Finder by date added or date created in column view, the most recent files would appear at the top of the list. Currently, this happens as it should in every single view mode EXCEPT column view (which is pretty much the only view I ever use). Currently, I have a folder with over 2000 files in it that date back to 2011, so now I have to scroll for like ten minutes just te get to files that were most recently added. Who in their right mind would want to sort by last modified with the oldest result listed FIRST? Ridiculous. I can't figure this out. Any help?

Thanks for the reply leroydouglas! Unfurtunately this doesn't cause the column to be ordered correctly either. After selecting this option, the files seem to be ordered by label, and the most recently added file is somewhere in the middle of the list. I'd like it to be at the top, and have other files/folders descend in retrochronological order by their add date.
Any other input from the community would be greatly appreciated, even if it's just confirming that this is/is not expected behavior. I'd be super bummed to find out that this IS expected behavior, as it's really counterintuitive and extremely inconvenient.
Thanks again!

Album view in order of date added. Is it possible?

album view in order of date added. Is it possible?
In v10 I got used to ordering my music library with the newest additions on top, date added with the album view if it didn't take up more space.
Now it's just the songs and I really don't like this. Album view is interesting but usless in alphebetical order which seems to be the default.
I was told by another person here to use a smart playlist but the method they suggested was not clear.
Can someone please explain how to do this or if there is a better alternative for someone who liked the old song view>date added>with album art?
-thanks

Welcome to the Apple Discussions. By "nr" are you referring to the shipping invoice that comes with the book? If so the answer is no. To order a book the library containing the book needs to be used.
If someone had a copy of the library that created the book initially they could order a book on their own Apple account without you knowing about it. *+BUT they would have to have a copy of the iPhoto LIbrary to do so.+*
So unless you think someone had access to your computer which housed the library a second copy of the book could not have been ordered.

HT1399 I have an ipod shuffle 4, my playlist is in alphabetical order on my itunes, when I go to add it to my ipod it puts it into order of "date added", under "View" i can change it, but when I sync it, it immediately reverts back?!!

Yeah - not really. Sorry - but you will need to get it fixed so you can back it up. You are going to want to Restore your new iPhone from that backup when you get it, so it will really be worth it.
As soon as you get your new iPhone, set up automatic iCloud backups, or if you don't have Wifi, then it is really important to get into the habit of backing your device up weekly to iTunes.
Best of luck!

Custom "stacks" icons in date added view/sort

i've found various workarounds for custom stacks icons that sort by name, date creation, date modified. the only one that i couldn't resolve was the "date added" which is what is most useful for the downloads folder.
i had automator "record" my actions of opening the downloads folder, deleting a "downloads folder icon" that i had placed in there earlier, and then undoing the deletion. this made the "downloads folder icon" the most newly added. and then i saved it as a folder action attached to my downloads folder.
sometimes it works and sometimes it doesn't and it hijacks the mouse control for the second or two that it's running.
but would any genius that knows applescript better than i know of a way to do this as an applescript. it probably wouldn't be as "sloppy" as a recorded automator workflow and wouldn't hijack the mouse control.
thanks in advance.

added the script found in the comments of this blog post:

Viewing purchases by date added

Just downloaded 11.0.1.12 and now cannot find a way to sort purchases by date added. Please help!

Enable the sidebar
Ctrl S
The purchase link is under the itunes store in the left hand sidbar.
If the Date added field is not showing right mouse click on the header row and select Date Added. This will put the date added column in the table and you can click on the header to sort as usual

How to restore my old Itunes Library WITH the DATA (plays & date added) from a time machine

Hi,
I recently got my macbook fixed through the apple store and the repairers replaced my hardrive, therefore wiping my computer of all its infor, including my Itunes library. Luckily, I had everything backed up on my time machine.
My question is how I can put back all my music into Itunes but also restore my data such as ratings, date added, and number of plays. Of course, I just want all my music back on my computer but stuff like this is what makes my library unique and personal to me. I enjoy listening to my music in order of when I downloaded them, bringing me back to specific experiences and times of my life where I enjoyed the group of songs, but I cannot do that when my Itunes has the "date added" of my songs all on the same date (the date that I'm putting my music back on).
Is there any way to take my itunes from library from my time machine and restore that back onto my itunes? (I've recently updated my Itunes too)
Please, anything helps!
Thanks!

I was also previously having problems doing a full system restore from my most recent backup.
Depending on what kind of problems, they may be damaged.
Long story short, all I want to do is restore my Itunes and just the Itunes from where and what it was like before.
Have you already set up a user account? If so, you might be able to selectively restore your iTunes library from your backups, via the "Star Wars" display, per #15 in Time Machine - Frequently Asked Questions.
But the user account you've set up may not be recognized as the same one as on your backups; you may not have permission to view, much less restore, the library.

My friend wanted me to help him sort his bookmarks. I put them in alphebetical order. He decided he wanted them put back in "date added" order...

I've found a workaround and now his bookmarks are back in order by date added, but they are reversed, i.e., the last bookmark is at the top.
For those wanting the workaround (as I see this question was never properly answered) I opened "Show all Bookmarks", clicked on Bookmarks Menu, and View, Sort, and Sort by Added.
Then highlighted all his bookmarks, and copied.
Then created a new folder in the Bookmarks Menu, and pasted to that new folder.
I then created another folder and did it again as a backup, and deleted all his bookmarks in alphabetical order, then opened one of the folders I just made, copied the bookmarks and pasted them into the Bookmarks Menu.
(I made that extra folder just in case things didn't go as planned. He would have understandably freaked out had I deleted all his bookmarks without making another backup of them! After I saw that everything was cool, I deleted the extra folder.)
But still the order is reversed.
How do I reverse the reversed order?

I am trying to think how your friends bookmarks came to be in a different order permanently and how you may be able to reverse that.
I note you have been copying bookmark folders. You have already discovered that the sort orders used to display may be varied and that second clicks toggle the order to be ascending or descending. If you copy a bookmark folder contents they retain the order that they were sorted on in the display when copied.
So if you have a folder. The bookmarks are in the order in which they were added. You may however display them in Alphabetical or reverse alphabetical order or reverse of the order added etc.
'''Try this I hope it will work'''
#Obviously back up the bookmarks first.
# In the bookmarks library re-sort the folder book marks menu.
# Create a new folder.
# Copy that the resorted bookmarks to the new folder.
# Delete the mis-sorted content and copy the new content over it

Performance View with data from Custom Rule

Hello again everybody,
so we created a vbscript which measures time needed for a specific process inside a program.
Now we made a rule for getting this data inside SCOM. Alerting and Health-Monitoring works fine.
For example, we made "if TimeNeeded>5" critical Health state, works like a charm.
But now, we want to view the data (the script runs every 30 seconds) inside a Performance view.
- We checked if the rule works as intended. Check
- Set the rule to "Performance Collection". Check
- Set the right target group. Check
- Override for specific target. Check
- Created a perf.monitor "collected by specific rules" (added our rule) with right targeting. Check
But the performance-view keeps unpopulated.
What now?

I exported the MP as XML file but the rule is not in there, only references.
But thats not the point anyway, the rule is working.
The only thing missing is to grab the data the script returns (via oAPI propertybag) and show it in a view. Thats all
Maybe the question was not clear enough:
Our script returns a value every 30 seconds, for example 6, then 4, then 8, then 10 and so on...
All we want now is to show these values in a Performance-View.
Graphical example:
10|                            X
08|                   X
06|         X
04|             X                              X
02|                                   X
00|
I guess you now know what I mean.
This Article

Got a new Mac, my iTunes is whack, (No Play Count or Date Added)

Hello, everybody. It's been a rough night.
I currently own a G4 iMac and I just got a brand new Macbook. The Macbook is very nice, it's extremely speedy and I am sure I will grow to love it. We've got just one hurdle to get through together: the organization of my music in iTunes. Now, I've had the iMac for five years, and not long after I got it adding music to it became something of an importance, it was my music player. Over the past five years I've not only added thousands of songs, but meticulously and very specifically organized them into playlists based on the number of spins they have and when they were added. To a lot of people I know this sort of thing isn't a huge deal, but for me this organization became, and I kid you not, a huge, huge part of my life.
So I get the new Macbook, fire it up and use Migration Assistant, (with the iMac in Target Disk Mode), to move my data over. When it's done I open the iTunes and am greeted with... nothing. Well, okay, all of my music is there, that's nice, (it's what iTunes is for, etc etc), but NONE of my play count or date added information remains. I weep inside.
Being that this is my first new computer in five years, (a long time!), you might be able to tell that I was hesitant about upgrading. Before getting my Macbook I asked experts at the Apple Store if this method would work, and even received assurance from several people online that everything would be preserved. So, I did my homework, but my Macs and I both apparently failed the test. Here's where we are now:
1. The iMac, (running Tiger), still has iTunes on it, with all the information, nothing seems to have changed on that end.
2. The Macbook has a hard drive full of music with no playlist, play count or date added data.
3. I do own an iPod where I backed up the music before the move. I know that the data information on playlists, play count and date added is on the iPod. I do not dare plug it in to the new machine for fear of the unknown.
Which brings me here, is there some way, any way of rectifying this? Here is what I would like:
1. For the Macbook iTunes to look EXACTLY like the iMac's does.
2. For it to work with both my old iPods without question.
This has been long, and I fear that some may pass it over as something too much of an banality to be needed help with. But like some collect shoes or hats, I collect music. It's a lovely collection and it's a large part of who I am. I could start all over, but that's sort of like saying the world could start over if it by chance happened to forget how to turn. It would take a lot of effort, and there would be some (more) tears, but I could move on. But I really, really don't want to. I just want things to be the way they were. I'd very much like to have this information present, and I thank you all for your time.

ADDED:
Now that I look at it, appears that nothing except for my applications transferred over. My old computer is listed in the Hard Drive, but I can't access any of the folders because I don't have that "level of privileges" or whatever, (odd, considering they're both my computers, do they need to be hooked up for this?). I don't really need for my old applications to be there, (Hello, iWork '06 Demo!), so can I just go and erase them, or am I better just starting all over again?

Is there a way to organize files by date added?

I'm trying to put a scrapbook together for a friend and am including all of the files he sent me and stuff in order of the date that he sent them...but there's only the option to organize by date modified or date created....none of which help me with this...I really need to do date added. Is there any way to do it?

I apologize if I misunderstood your question. So are you asking when someone sends you pics in a email, you want to add them to iphoto or a folder in finder by the date of the email and not the date of picture? I am not sure if this will help or maybe you already did this. I chose "quick look" at the attachment of an email with an older pic and chose the icon to add to iphoto. When I did this it created a event with todays date. The email was from Jan 4th, so it recognized todays date. Unfortunately though, when I tried this with recent pics sent to me (xmas), it created a folder based on the date the picture was taken. So I am really not sure if there is a way to do it. The only other suggestion I have, which is not the quickest. First I would create a specific folder for this project in finder. Next when you receive the email, click to save attachment. In the "save as" box, name the file the date you received it and any additional info if you want. Next find the folder you created and save in there. At least you will be able to access the pics in one place and the file name will say when you received them. I hope this helps. I am not an expert yet on my mac, but I just tried that and it worked. Good luck. Lee Ann

Song order on ipod problem ( only sorted as date added)

Basically what the title states. I just got a new Ipod (30G) and I just finished putting 1000+ songs on it, it was hard work but i finally got it. Yet I found out that my ipod is doing to the same things my other one was doing, Instead of sorting the songs in Alphabetical order by Artist in my playlist, it will only sort it by date added instead.
I put my songs manually instead of syncing and Im not about to reorganize all my songs on Itunes for this problem.
Is there anyone who can help me?
Thanks.
Windows XP

I'm not letting this question die out here.
Any help is appreciated.
thanks.

How to change existing terminals from "view as icon" to view as data type through program

I got some legacy LabVIEW code from other people. And there are tons of existing terminals displayed as icon. Is there any way to do batch process to change all of them to view as data type?
Thanks a lot!
Solved!

If you have a VI in 2010, you can save it as far back as 8.0. There is a thread on this forum dedicated to downconvert requests (and on for upconvert, as well). So post your VI there, and it will probably be converted quickly.
Scripting has existed in LabVIEW since about version 5.1. It was created to support scripting LabVIEW code in products such as the DAQ Assistant and Motion Assistant. The first product to use this technology was the Vision Assistant. However, the early versions are very primitive with limited or no support for common functions (e.g. Delete). Usually, support was added when it was needed for a project. Scripting took a huge leap in quality when LabVIEW 7.0 was released, since it is used behind the scenes to generate the code for Express VIs (which were introduced in 7.0). Scripting steadily improved in quality and features until it was released to general use in LabVIEW 2009. We are still working to expose all the development time functionality.
Take home message is that you can downconvert your VI, but there is no guarantee that the functionality you have in LabVIEW 2010 will exist in 7.1. While this is true in general, it is especially true of scripting functions.
