Get info - adding fields

despite advising fields can be added, the option only allows "comments" field to be added to the list, how do I add the " grouping" field to my get info criteria?

The fact that iTunes 12 is glitchy and badly designed is obviously incompatible with your world view
Everybody who reads the iTunes support forum will understand this version needs improvement and fine-tuning, because there are bugs and some features are not yet working as they should. My world view is no exception to that.
But it's not badly designed at all. It's just a little different from the iTunes we learned to use in the last 10 years and that means one has to get used to the different behavior of the program. Some call it change for the sake of change. I disagree. The sidebar is now just for editing playlists and content of iDevices. In the old sidebar one had to scroll down to the playlists. You don't need to to that anymore. It's always right beside the library. That's improvement. The iTunes store seems to be a part of the program now. That's improvement. Managing the main screen can be done in just one menu (on the right of the white top bar), instead of clicking on the white top bar and having to switch to the top bar menu to add other filter choices. That's improvement.
Just give yourself a bit of time to get used to new the habits, just give Apple a little time to finetune the new program and you'll really learn to like it.

  • Finder's "Get Info" Creator field not the same as "Creator Code"??

    Can someone explain what the difference is between the "Creator Code" associated with a file, and what the Finder's "Get Info" shows as the "Creator" (in the "More Info" section)?? I have a program that will not process a file unless a specific application has created the file. But if I change the "Creator Code" with a utility like "Type & Creator Changer" from AlphaOmega, the "Get Info" command shows no difference in the "Creator" field of the "Get Info" window.
    What is going on? What is the difference between these two "Creator" pieces of information of a file?
    How can one change what is in the "Get Info" "Creator" field??
    Thanks for your help...
    -Bob

    I don't think what you are talking about is the same as what I asked. I looked at the file that works with HexEdit and there is some other info about "CreatorTool" and "Creator" that in the case of the file that works is set to "ScanSnap Manager" and this is what appears in the "Creator" field of "Get Info" (in the "More Info" part of the GetInfo window). This is what I am guessing the Abbyy FineReader program is looking for to allow it to process the file. Without it it will not convert a PDF image file to a searchable text PDF file. Files that work and don't work can both have the "Open With" set to the same thing, so don't think that this has anything to do with the issue. Both can have the same "CreatorCode" too, so this is not it.
    In fact I just verified that if I change the "Creator" info in a file that works, the FineReader software will not process it. But the problem is that just changing the "Creator" info in a file to "ScanSnap Manager" is not enough. Bummer...
    So my dilemma is I can print a PDF file onto paper, then turn right around and scan it on the ScanSnap scanner and then FineReader will process it. But this is silly to have to print a file I already have the PDF of, let alone kill a few trees for the paper to print it on, in order to do the FindReader processing. Any suggestions??
    So, the question still is, what exactly is the FineReader looking for and how do I change a PDF file to have it so that FineReader will process it??? Is there a utility that will add/edit this other CreatorTool and/or Creator info in the file???
    Thanks...

  • Home movies get info/adding items to device

    I am trying to add details to some new home movies such as the artist name and album name just as I have been doing for years - but the Get Info only allows me to rename the file itself and add directors details, there's no option for any of the other details I have used so far to categorise my home movies to enable me to search for them (e.g. a You Tube video by a specific group that I have saved).
    This re-launch of iTunes is supposed to make things easier but so far very little I have tried to do on it has proved easier, I am spending so much time trying to work out what I now have to do I am getting little else done this weekend.  It's a bit like Windows 8 compared to Windows 7 - okay for those who designed it who know where everything is, but for the hundreds of millions of users now wasting time trying to find where things are that they were used to, I am sure it is not proving to be a great update.
    So if anyone has worked out how to fill in the fields for the various columns we can choose for home movies (and probably for anything else) I'd be extremely grateful for any input.
    I also notice when on my device I cannot add any columns - I can sort music by album, artist or song name but I like to have date added, date modified as well.
    I'm setting up my new iPhone 6 plus and finding it very difficult to actually get the music I want on to the phone - I manually manage my devices and drag and drop on to the device.  The device does appear in the side menu once you have highlighted your chosen files but it is hit or miss if the files actually drop on to the device - and where before it was just a move down the side bar to the music folder of the device, now I have to go to the top, click on device, wait for the summary screen to open, choose music, then either put the name of the file in the search field or scroll down to see if the file has added.  In some cases I can see it is trying to add the file as a greyed out version appears but it never actually gets on to the phone so I have to delete and try again.  I spent ages last night achieving about 10% of the stuff I wanted to get on to the phone.

    Select all the tracks and do a right-click > Get Info. Answer yes, you want to edit info on multiple items.
    Retype the Album and Album Artist fields.
    For Album Artist on compilation CDs, I usually use "Various Artists". Then each track has the actual artist...such as the soundtrack to Garden State has
    Album=Garden State
    Album Artist = Various Artists
    Track 1 Artist = Coldplay
    Track 2 Artist = The Shins
    and so on.
    Make sure the "track 1 of 13" fields are also filled in.
    That should get them grouped together.
    Article on that:
    http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1468
    That article is for itunes 7. The Compilation box has moved to the Options tab in itunes 8.

  • Get Info artwork field is empty.

    When I select "Get Info" for an album the artwork field is always empty whether I have uploaded artwork or not.  Is this normal?  I expect the artwork to show because the other fields like artist, album, etc. display their respective information.

    I have never used iTunes' get artwork feature.  I know iTunes will under some configurations display artwork for all tracks if only one item in the album has artwork.  iTunes also keeps its own copy of artwork, as well as optionally embedding a copy of artwork in a media file.  The latter is done so if you copy a single track to a player it will display artwork, but only having a single copy for a whole album means you don't use up space by unnecessary duplication.  This may be why you see artwork for the album but  a specific file may not display it in Get Info if it is not actually embedded in the file.

  • Newly added field in the data Source not getting populated

    Hello All,
    We have added few fields in the Data Source. The Data Source is based on the InfoSet. We have included the field in the Infoset and have updated the code to fetch the value for the newly added fields.
    When we perform the test extraction for this Data Source in RSA3, the newly added fields are not getting populdated with the value. In the system generated query's selection list, the newly added fields are not selected.
    Please let mw know how to get the newly added field selected in the system generated query of the infoset.
    Regards,
    -Purnima

    Hi,
    As you said you have added the filed in Info Set. Have you included the same in data source? try if not.
    If you are trying to create a query in source system to check the data. I guess in R/3 (ECC) then you have to include the new field in slection critera (ther is an option available on top menu).
    I would suggest before creating any query go to RSO2 select the data source. Display the field structure and check if the filed is there or not. You maysee Infoset level data directly by data display from top menu. Try that optionas well to check.
    I hope it will help.
    THanks,

  • What events change the Created field in, finder, get info

    On my laptop, in finder, in the get info screen there are 2 fields the Created Date and Modified Date fields.
    I was looking at these fields for an app that I use on my iPhone, it was listed in finder, so I clicked the get info option.
    The created date and modified date were 10/16 both the same.
    I have not used this app in a long time, my question is this.
    What event changes the created field?  If the app was downloaded on the Iphone will the created field get updated in finder?
    or if it was an update on itunes, would that change the created date in finder?
    Does the created date mean that the app was downloaded and installed on that date?

    Thank you so much.  That works just fine.  However, I also just discovered something.  Evidently, at least some of the fields in list view are editable.  By adding Grouping to the columns shown and clicking on the empty field, I was actually able to type whatever I needed into the field.
    I have not yet tried it with other fields, but will do so to see if it works for all fields in the list view.

  • "get info" not recalculating "size" field in iTunes XML database correctly

    I have updated some of my mp3 files directly in the iTunes directory. The update changed from CBR to VBR at a higher bit rate. I selected the files and used 'get info' to update the iTunes database with the new bit rate information, which seemed to work fine. The resulting update works fine on the 1G nano, the 3G nano and the 1G iPod (yes, 1G!), but does not work on the iPod 5G (Video 80Gb). On the 5G iPod the changed songs will play for about a minute, then jump to the end of the song.
    After much investigation, I found that deleting the song from iTunes and re-adding it solved the problem. When I examined the iTunes database had a different value for the size field. It went from
    <key>Size</key><integer>4969036</integer>
    to
    <key>Size</key><integer>4967106</integer>
    There are other changes, but this seems to be the most significant.
    Is there any way to force iTunes to re-calculate this field?
    Thanks,
    Jonathan
    PS I will post this on the iPod forum as well.

    My own experience with truncated songs on the iPod is that I flag them when they happen. When I get back to iTunes, I resync and pull up the recently played and find those songs. Note the time, which is usually shown as the abbreviated version. If I then double click them to play, iTunes will normally update the time to the correct time. Resyncing to the iPod fixes the problem.
    Oh I should mention that I give truncated songs on my iPod a 3-star rating as a tag. So after I "re-play" the song on iTunes to fix the time, I then change the rating back to no-stars. So this also forces an update back to the iPod. So you might have to tweak something after fixing the time to get it to reupdate back to the iPod.

  • Newly added field not getting displayed in ALV output

    Hi,
    Fieldcat is buffered - so use
    I_BYPASSING_BUFFER = 'X'
    Since a while CL_GUI_ALV_GRID is available which does NOT need any fieldcat (is determined internally using RTTI). It is worth playing around whith this class if you have some time. This class is recommended for ALV Output by SAP (but no edit is possible - was never supported officially).
    A simple use would be:
    data: gt_output type standard table of (adjust!).
    *simple ALV output
    data go_alv type ref to cl_salv_table.
    data go_functions type ref to cl_salv_functions_list.
    data go_columns type ref to cl_salv_columns_table.
    data go_column type ref to cl_salv_column_table.
    *Exceprion handlig
    data: go_exception  type ref to cx_root,
          gv_errortext   type string.
    ** fill table gt_output ...
    ** ALV output
    if not gt_output is initial.
        try.
            call method cl_salv_table=>factory
              importing
                r_salv_table = go_alv
              changing
                t_table      = gt_output.
          catch cx_salv_msg into go_exception.
            gv_errortext = go_exception->get_text( ).
            message gv_errortext type 'A'.
        endtry.
    * enable all standard ALV functions
        go_functions =  go_alv->get_functions( ).
        go_functions->set_all( ).
    * hide MANDT
        go_columns = go_alv->get_columns( ).
        go_column ?=  go_columns->get_column( columnname = 'MANDT' ).
        go_column->set_technical( ).

  • When adding ringtones (created by ringtone app) they show in music tab nor tones. the file type in 'get info' is 'ringtone'. Why is this?

    When adding ringtones (created by ringtone app) they show in music tab nor tones. the file type in 'get info' is 'ringtone'. Why dont they display in the 'tones' tab in itunes?  How can I get them to display under 'tones' not 'music'.

    Well, I tried rebuilding the Launch services with the command listed but still no luck. After having no luck with that and deleting caches, etc....I also, went to my home (user) directory and in Preferences, I deleted the com.apple.launchservices.plist file. I restarted and checked and still the same result.
    Also, I want to emphasize again that the file type I am discussing DOES actually launch with the correct application. (Cubase files in my example).
    But it is just annoying that ALL of my Cubase files display the Pro Tools application icon, and in Get Info they are listed to open with Pro Tools. But they actually do launch Cubase if double clicked.
    And one other VITAL note....if I open Get Info for one of these files, and change the Open With from Pro Tools to Cubase....then that choice DOES "stick" and retain. (if I "don't" also click Change All)
    It's only when I click "Change All" that it DOESN'T stick and the list selection jumps back to Pro Tools. I hope that may offer some clarity.
    Thanks for the tips but I am still back at square one.

  • Put URL of downloaded files in Get Info's Comments field?

    I'm using Safari Version 3.0.4 (build 5523.10.6).
    I know it is possible to have the url of where a file was originally downloaded to appear in the Get Info’s comments field automaticly.
    I know this because it used to do this sometime ago, I remember. Is there a way to get this feature back or are there programs or plug-ins that do this (maybe for Safari)?

  • "Add Field" in music "Get Info" is gone in latest iTunes version

  • "i" button not appearing for descriptions added through get info screen

    All movies and tv shows purchased from iTunes show a little gray "i" button in the description field. Clicking it opens a popup with the same text shown in the description field using get info.
    If I add my own movie or tv show and add a description into the same field, no "i" button is shown as the downloaded content, although the text is in the same field.
    The strange thing is, when I use the tagging software MetaX, I can enter the same description info, and after writing tags and importing to iTunes, the description field will show the "i" button.
    This behavior is obnoxious to say the least. There must be some sort of flags in the meta data that are not being set properly, as other tagging apps besides iTunes create the right behavior.

  • Album art added via Itunes 'Get Info' not updating on iPhone 5

    Im wanting to use Itunes specifically to add album artwork to my music which is managed manually. With the previous itunes version, it was a case of dragging and dropping a jpeg into the bottom left corner and hey presto! However, now...nothing.
    Ive confirmed all manner of things/issues explained after "research" on the net. So far nothing has worked out. Ive confirmed that the artwork is jpeg (even tried png) and also that its not locked under any specific permissions in Windows 7.
    To illustrate the annoyance of it, i can use a third party program to add the album art to an mp3 (prior to it being synced onto the iphone) and it will show up perfectly then! Now, you may be wondering 'why not just do that? problem solved'. Not quite. Windows is annoying to say the least especially with album artwork. Its all fine adding the artwork to mp3 files, but it then adds hidden artwork files in the folders themselves.
    As i said before, i was able to do it manually with the previous itunes version but now im out of ideas. The 'Get Info' tab then onto 'Artwork' in itunes is where im trying to update the files. I can load them there, they will show on the files under itunes, but not on the iphone. As i manage my music manually ive also attempted to remove all tracks, re-sync and try and add again; nothing.
    Any ideas would be much appreciated. Granted this can only be really described as an annoyance, but its annoying nonetheless.
    Peace

    Dragging music files directly from Windows and dropping onto the device?  I have no idea how that is even possible, but right there you're deviating from the intended design -- iTunes is meant to be the intermediary.
    Are you suggesting that i first update the music in the itunes library and then drag & drop to the iphone? In a way, not manually manage the music?
    Yes, that IS what what I'm suggesting, and that is what manually managing means in the iTunes world.  It is a media manager for your devices, and if you're bypassing it then its no wonder you're struggling.  It sounds like you're coming from a mp3 player perspective, and like it or not, that's not how i-devices work.
    I'm sorry to say, but if you try to force things another way it will be a rocky relationship to say the least.
