How can I change the name of the file on iTUNES in mac?

the files download with strings of letters and numbers and i want to rename, but can't figure out how?   Help!!

I believe that once you add them to iTunes, iTunes itself will rename them to whatever makes sense for how the iTunes structure works (I can't say for sure, having disabled that feature in my iTunes 13 years ago).  That should be something like the track name.
Again, you shouldn't have need to alter (and definitely avoid upon peril of messing up your iTunes library) anything that happens inside the iTunes folder.  If you need to copy the files to another location, drag them from iTunes to that location. Then you can alter the file names on those copies as iTunes will no longer use the copies it puts there.

    There isn't a feature in Adobe Send for setting and end-date for a file's availability. At any time, you can Unshare the file, however.

  • How can I change the file name of an mp3 file to it's ID3 name?

    I prefer to alter the ID3 names of my music files to include: ARTIST - Track number - Tune Name. I do this in iTunes, by individually selecting each file, and Apple+I, then change the INFO/NAME tag.
    But the same file has a file name and an ID3 name then.
    Is there any script or APP that will allow me to BATCH convert all music file names to the ID3 name?

    Yes, how do you think they get there if I double click them in finder and list themselves and start playing in iTunes?
    > You are looking at the file in iTunes not the original file
    > (which is not in iTunes) correct?
    I have talked about both if you will read the thread.
    > In iTunes, right click Show in Finder
    Read the thread carefully, you are missing something.

    > then click OK. Then go back and recheck it.
    Has no effect whatsoever.

  • How can I change the location where iTunes saves iOS 5.1, new data, synchronized apps and other data?

    My hard drive C is full. I changed the location of the mediathek to an external hard drive F and moved all media data there. Also, I synchronized my iPad with this new set-up. So far, everything worked out well.
    Now, why is iTunes stll saving data, like the much needed iOS 5.1, to C? This actually makes it impossible for me to finally update my iPad, because my C drive is simply full!
    Also, iTunes does not synchronize my iPad apps or my photos. When I try to synchronize them manually, iTunes starts to save data to my C drive. How can I change that to my external drive F?
    In a nutshell, how can I move iTunes once and for all to my external hard drive F (or at least, to a different hard drive on my computer)? There is simply no space on my C drive for it at all.
    Thankyou so much for an answer, I am literally going nuts right now!

  • How can I change the file location under "Information"?

    Somehow my iPod or computer generated a 2nd file named "music" within the existing file "music" where all my songs are stored. I don´t know why this happened and when I just discovered it today.
    Now more than half of the songs are located under "c:\music\music". When I change this back on my computer using Explorer, i.e. move all files up one level under "c:\music" then my iPod administration gives me a failure notice for all these songs after the next synchronisation. When I check under "Information" of a song I´m told that the storage location of this song is "c:\music\music". So when I want to play that song I´m offered to search for the original which I do and puff.... the 2nd file "music" is created again and now the song is again stored under "c:\music\music".
    I can change almost every entry under "Information" but not the storage location.
    How can I change this back? I don´t want this! Do I have to be a slave of stupid Apple programming and keep this 2nd folder although I don´t want to have or use it?!
    Thanks for helping with this!

    You can do this when exporting:
    File -> Export

  • How can I change the location where itunes stores my backup?

    I don't know how to change the location were itunes stores my backup and my transfer purchases. I don't have enough memory on the hard driver where the windows is installed.Please help me!!!

    Transferred purchases usually get stored in the iTunes Media folder although if your library started life back on iTunes 8 or earlier then apps could be stored within the main iTunes library folder. This post gives an overview of how to restructure your library on a different drive. I can give specific instructions if you tell me more about your current setup.
    To change where iTunes stores iOS device backups redirect <Profile>\<AppData>\Apple Computer\MobileSync\Backup to a folder on another drive using NTFSLink (shell ext., might only work on XP) or Junction (cmd line tool). In essence you move the existing folder to a new location, create an empty folder where the old one used to be, then get the operating system to link the two together and silently redirect any file operation on the old location through to the new one.

  • How can I change the country in iTunes when I've subscribed for iTunes Match?

    I've subscribed for iTunes Match. When I now want to change my country it says I first have to unsubscribe iTunes Match! I've already turned off Auto-Renew… how can I unsubscribe now? Do I have to wait until my subscribtion ends? But I need a country change NOW!

    Changing country raises all sorts of issues in iTunes.  Would strongly suggest that you call Apple directly to discuss, or find your local genius bar and call in.
    Typical issues include no longer being able to see 'purchased' items in your original country and successfully resolving the iTunes Match service warning.

  • How can I change the file creation date?

    I recently downloaded more than 1,000 photos from my vacation. I'm preparing to burn DVDs for a friend, and I noticed that when I copy the photos to the desktop, they don't all have the same date. I have read a couple of discussions here about the difference between photo creation date and file creation date, and I understand the difference. But something seems odd to me.
    For purposes of illustration, let's take two photos: "A" was taken with the camera in the landscape position (how one normally holds a point-and-shoot); "B" was taken with the camera held in the portrait position (rotated 90 degrees). The photos were taken on April 24, about three minutes apart, but not imported into iPhoto until May 19.
    In iPhoto, both files show the actual creation date. Yay!
    The problem is with the files after having been copied to the desktop.
    When copied to the desktop, the info panel for photo "A" shows April 24 for both the "created" and "modified" dates. Photo "B," however, shows May 19 for the "created" and "modified" dates.
    Apparently, when the "B-style" photos were imported into iPhoto, the app automatically rotated them so that they are viewed correctly (without having to turn your head sideways). This is a very nice feature, but the result is that the file date changes.
    Is there any way to change this? I want the DVD to show the date the photo was created, not imported to iPhoto. Picky, I know … but I'm like that. 

    Apparently, when the "B-style" photos were imported into iPhoto, the app automatically rotated them so that they are viewed correctly (without having to turn your head sideways). This is a very nice feature, but the result is that the file date changes.
    Correct.  Your camera has an Auto-Rotate feature. However, the camera does not actually rotate any pixels in the file, but instead flags it with an instruction: "Display me this way". This is a tag in the Exif metadata. When you import a file with this tag iPhoto creates a modified version. It does this because most of the apps that integrate with it -  email clients, word processors etc - simply don't understand this Exif tag. So if you used the shot in a word processing doc, uploaded it to many Web site etc, the shot would come out sideways.
    iPhoto has nothing to say about File dates. There are various file utilities that will edit the dates on Files

    for instance. But there are otheers, search on  MacUpdate

  • How can I change the file format in iTunes 11?

    It seems the Convert to .. function which was available when right clicking a song is no longer there.  How can you convert an AAC to MP3 for instance?

    Assegai Guy, 
    It is still there but it looks a little different in iTunes 11.  The "Create New Version" command is now in the File menu instead of the Advanced menu.

  • How can I change the email my itunes Gift Card was sent to?

    I'm very frustrated.
    I called your support, the gentleman that helped me talked so fast I couldn't understand him. I asked him to repeat it he said it the same speed, couldn't understand him. Anyways, he went on to tell me that anything to do with iTunes gift cards are all automated online, but said he couldn't direct me because he didn't have the website up infront of him at that time. Poor customer support.
    I love apple, but that was disappointing.
    PROBLEM: I sent a giftcard to the wrong email address I mistyped and missed a letter in the address. I need to resend it to the correct email. How can I do this?
    Thanks in advance.

    No. You can see when you buy something in App Store, but not when you loaded a gift card

  • How can I change the File-- Open menu item?

    In Bridge CS4, I want an option to open a selected JPEG photo in Photoshop CS4, which I believe would be the File-->Open command.  However, in that menu item I only have the option of selecting ACDSee Pro to open a file with.
    Is there a way to change this menu item so that I can select Photoshop CS4 to open a JPEG with?
    Thanks,
    John

    Thanks John.  Go into the Windows Folder options and associating CS4 with JPEG fixed the problem.  In fact, when I do File-->Open now in Bridge CS4, all of my photo editors appear on the list.

    Do you want to change the look for aesthetic reasons, or to make the cursor easier to see?
    As X423424X indicates, you can use System Preferences to change the size.
    You can also install a utility such as MouseLocator to aid in making your cursor easier to find

    There are other similar utilities that perform a similar service.

  • How can I change the file creation date through Labview 2012?

    I want to change the format of the data stored in some text files, but I want the file dates to remain the same.  Currently, my program creates the files with new dates.
    Solved!
    Go to Solution.

    LabVIEW to my knowledge doesn't have native functions to do this.
    You can use .NET functions on Windows to get/set the CreationTime, LastWriteTime and LastAccessTime.
    See attached VI (LabVIEW 8.6)
