Help organizing library?

I recently converted my WMA from windows media player to MP3 using the newest version of itunes. In my itunes library the music in not always organized by albums. That is there are several songs in the same album but the itunes library has them seperated into separate albums. Is there a way to correct this? Or should I delete the album and re rip it onto my pc? Thank you for any advise.

This is because one of 2 reasons all based on the artist name basicly.
One album, all tracks by same artist
In this case something is different about one or afew of the tags of that track you need to correct.
One Album multiple artist
This is known as a compilation CD, usually soundtracks and dance mix albums where each trach is by a different artist. In this case you highlight ALL tracks apart of the album then rightclick hit "Get Info" and check yes under "Compilation"

  • Need help organizing photos

    I need help organizing my photos.  Over the years, my Mac has collected photos in many different locations, many different folders, both on the internal and an external hard drive.  What I need is the best and easiest software for: 1) searching multiple hard drives to find all photo (and video) files; 2) identifying and removing all duplicates; and 3) putting all photo and video files into a single organized folder in a location that I specify.  There are lots of products out there, but I can't seem to be able to figure out which one is the best, and which one will do exactly what I need it to do.  Any suggestions from the community?

    Import the photos into iPhoto and use iPhoto Library Manager - http://www.fatcatsoftware.com/iplm/ -  to find and eliminate duplicates

  • Applescript for replacing Original Files with aliases from an Organized Library.

    Hi, all I am new to Applescript and the support community. I am working on developing a script that takes a folder and replaces its original music content with aliases from an organized Library. Let me explain a little better.. I have a list of project folders that all contain folders and original music. My company uses iTunes to store and organize their music. Once iTunes has imported the music and has made a copy of the original file and organizes it accordingly we create an alias within the iTunes Library and manually drag and drop the aliases into our Project folders. I have a Script that reverts the aliases with the orginal file and the coding is
    Code starts here---
    set f to choose folder
    ProcessAlias(f as string)
    -- replacess all alias files in the passed folder path (string)
    on ProcessAlias(this_folder)
    -- get list of folders in this_folder
    set utid to AppleScript's text item delimiters -- store old delimiters
    set AppleScript's text item delimiters to {return}
    tell application "Finder"
    set folder_listing to every folder of folder this_folder as string
    end tell
    set AppleScript's text item delimiters to utid -- restore old delimiters
    if folder_listing is "" then
    set folder_list to {}
    else
    set folder_list to paragraphs of folder_listing
    end if
    -- process folder_list
    repeat with sub_folder in folder_list
    ProcessAlias(sub_folder) -- send each folder back to this subroutine
    end repeat
    -- get list of alias files and process them
    tell application "Finder"
    set alias_files to every file of folder this_folder whose kind is "Alias"
    repeat with this_alias in alias_files
    try -- error if broken alias
    set orig_item to original item of this_alias
    set item_dest to container of this_alias
    move orig_item to item_dest with replacing
    end try
    end repeat
    end tell
    return -- you can return a listing of moved originals if you want
    end ProcessAlias
    Basically I need the revers of this process. The objective is to save space and continue to let iTunes organize and copy files for us. I already have made a script that generates aliases into the subfolders of iTunes organized Library withour replacing the file that iTunes created. I also made a script that takes the itunes library and dumps all the aliases into a designated folder. I thought this may be helpful for drawing aliases to files that are in our project folder but seem to be stuck.
    I was thinking maybe if I took my iTunes and made all the aliases all into one folder to draw aliases from would make it easier. I'm not sure but it seems like there should be some easy way of doing this. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

    Also Script above is for reverting aliases into original files as posted by Eatalay of this forum.

  • Error when I click on Help -- SAP Library

    Hi guys,
    When I click on Help --> SAP Library or Help --> Application Help or Help --> Glossary
    I get an error message as follow:

    For details please check the entries in the files SAPDOCCD.LOG in the windows directory.
    SO how to solve this problem...
    And is there a way to change the path in which the system look to when i click SAP Library from the path shown above (L:\ Data\....) to another path??
    Please I need your help
    Thanks & Regards

    Hi,
    Are the html help files installed on the "L:\DATA\..." drive ? and are the help files installed in language "NL" (Dutch) ?
    You can control the path where to look for the files in 2 ways (as i remember):
    1) by customizing the SAPDOCCD.INI file on your local workstation (if exists). (User specific)
    2) by customizing in transaction SR13 within your R/3. (System specific)
    But in the SAPDOCCD.LOG file you should be able to see how the location is found, and from where.
    Every thing however (including basic trouble shooting) is described in SAP's document "Installing the SAP Library" or something like this....
    I hope this helps...

  • I need help organizing my Loop Library

    I've been researching this online but just cannot find the answer.
    I have GB11' (ver 6.0.4) operating on OS X Lion (ver 10.7.2).
    I've learned how to add custom loops by using drag-and-drop and Apple Loop Utility
    But I am still having troubles so I'd like to ask a few questions
    How do I add an entire folder of loops?
    I've tried drag-and-drop, GB seems to respond to it and would begin to load data, but I cannot seem to find it anywhere in the library.
    I could, however, add them individually and it works without a problem.
    I've tried Loop Utility too, but after saving the files it still would not appear in my GB library.
    (the files are in correct format .WAV and .AIFF)
    Where are the physical files of the custom loops located?
    So GB won't let me add an entire folder of loops, fine. I've managed to add a few individually, BUT! Where are the physical files?
    One discussion I found from here said that different versions of GB save the files in different locations.
    According to the article, I should be able to find them in /Library/Audio/Apple Loops/User Loops
    But on my Mac there is no "User Loops" folder. (They are not in "/Apple Loops for GB" either.)
    The bizzare thing is, these loops still work in GB!!!
    The reason I'm asking this is because I'd like to get rid of some undesired loops I added while testing.
    Also, I want to rename them so I can easily locate them.
    But this seem impossible because I cannot find the actual files..
    So the last question is
    How do I delete or rename the loops?
    If I can't rename it, at least let me delete it so I can reupload!!!
    The "Loop Index" does not contain any information about the loops I added either.
    Any help will be appreciated!!
    Thank you for your time!!

    dropping the folder onto the browser pane _is_ indeed how you add loops. perhaps it's a setting in your project:

    i don't believe you can from within GB, you'd have to drop the renamed file onto the loop browser to index it

    there is usually more than 1 index file (not sll stored in the same place). see the reindexing entry for help in finding them:

  • Help with library v

    hey can anyone tell me if you can set up the view of the library by Artist --> Album --> Track Number. ie i got a crapload of music by same artists like Aerosmith, so I'd like to set it up so it is ordered first by Artist name, then have all of the artists' albums in alphabetical order then the tracks in numeric order. in windows media player, i would just click on the tabs (Artist / Album / Track Number) and it'd be all set up nice and organized. If anyone could help, it would be greatly appreciated.
    PS i have Creative MediaSource

    Creative offer appalling software here, you can do it but you need to do it manually and if you have a lot of music it takes hours. Go to the library and drag the songs in the order you want them. You cannot change the playlist order though only the songs within each playlist.

  • Oh my goodness......I need help organizing/finding my photos!!!

    Man, I have a mess......
    About 4-5 months ago I bought a Seagate external hd, and I wanted to back-up ALL of my photos on my Powerbook. I am using iPhoto 6.0.6.
    I wiped the new hd and prepared it using the discussion forums here. Everything was cool.
    I "decided" to go into my folder on my powerbook and delete/"clean up" some of my photos before I backed it up onto the Seagate. Big mistake. I went into the libraries folder I think and was selecting multiple items at a time and as I was dragging the stuff, I lifted up on the key and dropped them into various places. An example is this when I click on the HD icon and select Pictures. I have all kinds of crap in the wrong places/folders and I cannot remember where and what I did because it's been soo long. Where do I start? The pictures are all there, but they are all over and not organized at all....

    I have a mess, and want to consolidate all of my pictures both external and internal into ONE folder, and put them somewhere safe until I get a time capsule in December. I will probably get rid of the Seagate. I have about 200gb available on the Seagate, and only 30gb on the Powerbook.....getting full.....!
    I would like to install a "clean" iPhoto onto the Seagate, and get all of my photos into one place on the Seagate. Without going any further, and promising to NEVER do this again, where do I start?
    Please help. Many are very important photos of my children, and I wish to back them all up!

    I believe you'll have to resort to the following:
    1 - search you User folder (type Command+F) with the following criteria:
    File type=image
    Title includes .jpg
    File size is treater than 100 KB.
    This should bring up in the search result window all full sized image files.
    2 - create a new folder on the desktop and drag these files from the search results window into that folder.
    3 - create a new library.
    4 - open the iPhoto/Event preferences and check the check box titled "Imported items from Finder" and select the time period you will want to have the photos split into during import, 1 day, 1 week or one of the hourly selections.
    5 - drag the folder of image file from the desktop into the open iPhoto window.
    That will get your image files imported into separate events based on the time frame you selected in the preferences. If you don't all of your photos will end up in one large event. They can be separated later but I believe it would be better to do a preliminary sorting during import.
    TIP: For insurance against the iPhoto database corruption that many users have experienced I recommend making a backup copy of the Library6.iPhoto (iPhoto.Library for iPhoto 5 and earlier) database file and keep it current. If problems crop up where iPhoto suddenly can't see any photos or thinks there are no photos in the library, replacing the working Library6.iPhoto file with the backup will often get the library back. By keeping it current I mean backup after each import and/or any serious editing or work on books, slideshows, calendars, cards, etc. That insures that if a problem pops up and you do need to replace the database file, you'll retain all those efforts. It doesn't take long to make the backup and it's good insurance.
    I've created an Automator workflow application (requires Tiger or later), iPhoto dB File Backup, that will copy the selected Library6.iPhoto file from your iPhoto Library folder to the Pictures folder, replacing any previous version of it. It's compatible with iPhoto 6 and 7 libraries and Tiger and Leopard. Just put the application in the Dock and click on it whenever you want to backup the dB file. iPhoto does not have to be closed to run the application, just idle. You can download it at Toad's Cellar. Be sure to read the Read Me pdf file.
    Note: There's now an Automator backup application for iPhoto 5 that will work with Tiger or Leopard.
    and drag the folder from the desktop into its open window. Yo

  • Please help - entire library is missing

    Hello guys,
    I am currently experiencing some problems with iTunes, I hope someone can help me. After not having used my PC since September, I accessed it yesterday. After installing the iTunes update, everything was still normal, but after the computer had to be restarted for the HP update, ALL my media files are gone. Not only is the library wiped, the actual folder where the file should be is empty.
    I will explain what I did below.
    Also, please excuse my English, it's not my first language.
    Okay, then let me explain my problem from the beginning. Maybe someone can tell me what I did wrong.
    I am from Germany, but I am currently in the US as an exchange student. At home, I used a HP PC with Vista, but I decided to buy a little netbook (Asus eeePC)to take with me. The most important thing for me was (and still is) my music, my iTunes library. It is 86.4 GB big and consists of everything; songs, TV-shows, movies, apps, podcasts, audiobooks - you name it. In short, it's the result of years of listening to and collecting music; and it's not mine alone, the whole family uses it. I researched ways to copy my library unto my new netbook, but with a file that size, it's not that easy. Eventually, I decided to use a backup and re-create the library on the netbook. However, this did, for reasons unknown to me, not work, the backup was (from the 2nd disc on) unreadable. I created 2 more backups, tried to read them with different PCs - the same problem every time.
    Finally, I had to leave without having accomplished anything. But I took my iPod touch with me, it had most of the files on it. I hoped that I could somehow transfer the files from my iPod. However, shortly after I arrived, it was stolen. I bought a new one, but of course all the files on it are gone.
    In he meantime, my family at home created a new backup and send it to me - but this one, again, is not readable. Now I researched other possible ways on how to get my files over here. I decided to use a torrent this time. I had someone install a VNC client on my PC so I can access it from here, and then I installed utorrent and created a torrent from my entire library, send it to myself per e-mail and started downloading on my netbook. I was really happy to finally have found a way - but I should be wrong.
    Since I had access to my iTunes after so much time, I decided to open iTunes and listen to a few songs. However, as my PC has not been used since I left in September, there were some available updates. Unsuspecting, I installed the new iTunes version and also a HP update. After the iTunes update everything was still okay, but after the PC had to be restarted for the HP update to work, my entire library was gone! And I checked, not only is the library empty, but the actual song-file is gone, meaning when I open, eg, "C:\Users\Chris\Music\iTunes\iTunes Music\Linkin Park\Meteora" the folder is totally empty.
    That's how it is now. I decided not to do anything big, as I am afraid I'll mess it up even worse (though I don't think that's quite possible - there is nothing to mess up left, afterall).
    Please please please, can somebody help me?

    If you don't have any other back up, and the torrent files you sent to yourself are gone, then your music is gone.
    Nobody can help you recover data that no longer exists, but I can offer some sympathy. Sorry to read your story.

  • Why can't I undo a big mistake renaming folders--help my library's wrecked

    I was backing up a CD we bought for the kids to learn spanish. I multiple edited all of the album's details to call it spanish cd and after I pressed enter a box appeared that said it was processing, and to my horror all the names of my whole itunes library appeared momentarily as they got worked over. Now my whole library is called 'spanish cd' and no albums are together anymore. I tried to undo the action but cannot. Can anybody pLEEEZE help me. I feel that I will have to reload sixty + CDs. Help, help, help. SOS.
    Aidan. PS I tried to unchech boxes that say itunes should arrange folders as one entry on the forum seemed to be saying this causes 'undo' problems in other ways. NO result. Help!!!!
    Thankyou.

    iTunes does not have an undo feature and will not necessarily warn you that you are about to do something catastrophic.
    If you have the files on an iPod then you could recover them complete with correct tags using methods in this post from Zevoneer: http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=6273675&#6273675
    Failing that, you could try MusicBrainz PicardTagger. This is supposed to be able to extract an audio fingerprint of your media files and compare them with a database to determine the correct tag info. It works best however when the files are still arranged in related groups.
    Unchecking the "Keep iTunes Music folder organised" option now is a horse & stable door scenario. If you'd done that before your mass edit a simple tagging tool could have rebuilt the album titles from each file's folder name.

  • ITunes 10.2.2 no longer organizing library

    I have been adding video content to iTunes, and it was working normally. I've got "Keep iTunes Media folder organized" and "Copy files to iTunes Media folder when adding to" checked, and when I add the files, they moved into the iTunes Media folder. When I renamed them or otherwise changed them, the files were updated.
    I then upgraded to 10.2.2.12 after being prompted to do so. I have rebooted the computer a few times since just to make sure it's clear. (Win XP SP2, btw)
    I continued to add video content, but just noticed that although the files are being copied into the iTunes Media folder, they are then not changing when I edit any information about them. When I change the name in iTunes, the filename doesn't change. When I change the video type from Movie to TV Show, it doesn't move the file from the "Movies" folder to the "TV Shows" folder.
    Even weirder, when I do try to change the type from "Movies" to "TV Shows" for example, or change the name of the TV show, it creates the folder in the new location with the proper new name/location, but then doesn't actually move the file! Just creates an empty folder.
    I have tried clicking on the file and saying "Consolidate Files..." and it does nothing. Both boxes for organizing/copying are checked.
    Everything else seems to be working properly, but this is quite frustrating. Any thoughts? Can anyone else reproduce this problem on this version, or is it just me?
    Thank you.

    The process of downgrading is pretty simple. May I remind you, this is for Windows. I have not tried this on a Mac.
    The thing I did was first to kill all the Apple processes running, iTunesHelper, iPodService, AppleMobileDeviceHelper. I'm not sure if you have to do this but I did it anyway so that the installation wouldn't ask me to reboot in order to replace files. After that I just deleted the iTunes folder in Program Files folder, or on my Windows 7 64-bit, the Program Files (x86). After that I lauched the controll panel and uninstalled iTunes. And now, you are free to install your older version. It might be a good idea to backup your iTunes files anyway like iTunes Library.itl, iTunes Music Library.xml, iTunes Library Genius.itdb, iTunes Library Extras.itdb. I dont know for sure about the last two files but I always copy them anyway. And now it's just to install iTunes 10.2.0. However. If you are downgrading to lets say iTunes 9, I'm not sure if you can use your existing iTunes Library.itland  iTunes Music Library.xml files with that version of iTunes. Maybe some one else knows.
    This process of downgeading worked for me, twice and I haven't notices any problem with syncing or anything but of course I don't want to be blamed for messing up someones iTunes

  • HELP! Library has disappeared, How do I get the music from ipod to my comp?

    Please Help me! I don't know what to do!
    I'm a fourteen year old and my Itunes library completely disappeared from nowhere. I honestly didn't touch anything on it!
    So know my Itunes wants to erase and sync my library with its library on there, which has nothing! So, How do I get my ipod music from my ipod to my computer? I'm on Windows XP and Itunes 10!
    Please don't make me download anything, because I'll probably get a virus....

    Have you looked in the recycle bin? If it's not there, do a search for a song and see if it can be found on your computer somewhere else. By design, iTunes is a one way street - from your computer to your iPod - not the other way around. However, if you can't find any files on your computer, do an internet search for how to move the files from your iPod. Good lesson on why you need to back up your files. FWIW, files/folders just don't "disappear".

  • Please help iPhoto library problems - faces, facebook etc.

    I don't know what I'm doing wrong but iPhoto 09 has never worked very well for me. When I first started to use iPhoto 09 I went through my library to tag everyone so they came up in the faces thing. I had to add lots of missing faces because it didn't detect many. Then it merged lots of the faces together under one face name and also lost most of the ones I had tagged. I was really annoyed because this took me ages and I read on the forum that others were having problems so I decided to leave it for a while. I also had a huge problem uploading to facebook. When I made an album to upload it would start but then my internet would go off and then iPhoto just crashed. Whenever I touch any of the facebook albums iPhoto just crashes. After a couple of updates I started to think these features might be working better so I decided to sort out my library. I started to sort out the faces thing where they different people had been merged. I went through and added lots of missing faces. When I went back to check these photos the names I had added disappeared from the photo. I tried about 10 times and each time they disappeared on the same photos. Facebook was still crashing so I deleted all of my facebook albums which took ages because it kept crashing. Now it has duplicated an event and put it under a blank name and a different date. When i try to delete the photos they stay there and when I try to merge the folders that are the same, another event gets put in the folder of the same date, creating different duplicates. I don't understand what i'm doing wrong and I'm so scared of losing photos and all of the things like dates and order etc. Can anyone tell me why i'm having all of these problems? I think i need to rebuild my libary but I don't know how and i'm scared of losing photos or dates, or names or places or faces. Sorry such a long post, any help would be appreciated. Thanks.

    It's likely that your Library database has been damaged in all the crashing.
    Download iPhoto Library Manager and use its rebuild function. This will create a new library based on data in the albumdata.xml file. Not everything will be brought over - no slideshows, books or calendars, for instance - but it should get all your albums and keywords back.
    Because this process creates an entirely new library and leaves your old one untouched, it is non-destructive, and if you're not happy with the results you can simply return to your old one.
    Regards

  • Will Photo Library Manager help without library file

    I recently upgraded to Leopard and added ilife to upgrade my iphoto from a reeaaally old version. I imported photos from the old version and Iphoto was working fine a couple weeks ago. Today, however, when I tried to open it, I got the Choose Your Library message. There is no library listed, nor can I find one. I have not done anything to iphoto or the library file since it was last opened and working fine. Will Photo Library Manager help if there is no library file? Is the albumdata.xml file in the iphoto database or is it somewhere else in my computer? Surely the files are there somewhere! What else can I do? I have a back-up but it has run since I last opened iphoto and I can't find a library file in there either. What is the library file called? Maybe I'm not looking for the write thing...
    Thanks for your help. Any suggestions would be most appreciated.

    Did you use Spotlight to try to find your library. If the library was inadvertantly moved to certain areas of the HD Spotlight will not find it. Download and run Find File to search for "Library6.iPhoto". If you get a hit it's a good chance it's the library. Good Luck.
    TIP: For insurance against the iPhoto database corruption that many users have experienced I recommend making a backup copy of the Library6.iPhoto (iPhoto.Library for iPhoto 5 and earlier versions) database file and keep it current. If problems crop up where iPhoto suddenly can't see any photos or thinks there are no photos in the library, replacing the working Library6.iPhoto file with the backup will often get the library back. By keeping it current I mean backup after each import and/or any serious editing or work on books, slideshows, calendars, cards, etc. That insures that if a problem pops up and you do need to replace the database file, you'll retain all those efforts. It doesn't take long to make the backup and it's good insurance.
    I've created an Automator workflow application (requires Tiger or later), iPhoto dB File Backup, that will copy the selected Library6.iPhoto file from your iPhoto Library folder to the Pictures folder, replacing any previous version of it. There are versions that are compatible with iPhoto 5, 6, 7 and 8 libraries and Tiger and Leopard. Just put the application in the Dock and click on it whenever you want to backup the dB file. iPhoto does not have to be closed to run the application, just idle. You can download it at Toad's Cellar. Be sure to read the Read Me pdf file.
    NOTE: The new rebuild option in iPhoto 09 (v. 8.0.2), Rebuild the iPhoto Library Database from automatic backup" makes this tip obsolete.

  • HELP! Library on my External HDD shows up and doesn't show up on another

    So I've been working on this project last night (from my external hdd), and completed it halfway before calling it a night.  I just close the laptop and let it sleep.  Now, I'm trying to open my project I don't see my external's library, which is normal sometimes, so I click my "Open library" and select my external hard drive's library.  I get the usual loading bar at the top of the screen, but when it finishes loading, nothing appears!  So I click "Open library" and select my external library again, then I get this message:
    I have the latest FCPX 10.1.1 and my project library has already been updated.  The part that I don't understand is that, I also have another external hdd that I use, but it opens the library on that external hard drive just fine.  Is there some sort of preference file I should delete to fix this?? Your help is appreciated!!

    @ Tom - I changed everything to Read/write, but still nothing.  So I made a new user and it appeared! But my project folder was empty and the event, for which the project I was working on (titled "Jordan & Kaley Wedding"), was empty as well.  Like this:
    It shows that I have no projects in my project folder, but it opened with one of my projects that I had worked on previously on my external, so I don't understand how its working.
