How can I have iTunes quit changing what I put in for my zip code

My credit card only accepts five numbes. When I put my zip code into iTunes it add the other four. That does not match what my bank has and it tells me that I have to enter my security code. This has been going on for five days. Apple Tech Support has quit responding to my emails.
Any thoughts.

I think even using Get Info may not reveal the change, though it is possible the behaviour has altered since I last tested it. Playing or updating the tracks location in a script such as UpdateTagInfo seems to get iTunes to re-evaluate the tag.
Assuming WMP is involved it may be best to make the necessary settings adjustments to prevent further changes, use the script to get all of the background changes exposed within iTunes, then correct as you see fit. Alternatively I do have another script called ExportImport that could be used to back up the current state of your tags (you should temporarily rename the media folder during the export phase), after which you would then run UpdateTagInfo and then use ExplortImport in its import mode to restore the corrupted data.

  • ITunes 10 how can I have iTunes recognise an external harddrive

    iTunes 10 how can I have iTunes recognise an external harddrive, where all my music is already. I did the option, selecting extenal HD but some reason the iTunes does not alow me to select the .xml file (grayed out)

    Use Migration Assistant in the Utitiies folder to return the deleted user account back to the machine, I don't know exactly how to go about this as I don't  use TimeMachine as it's so limiting, but Pondini can help

    You might have to create the account with the same name, but I don't know if it will access the user files on the TM drive or not.
    Once the account is back onto the machine you can log into it and transfer files between accounts on the same machine using the Finder > Go to Computer > Macintosh HD > Users > other account > Public > DropBox and drop files/folders in there, the permissions will change to the other user and the files/folders will be there when you log into the other user account.
    Next time consider bootable clones, you can access them directly and even boot directly from them, update them when your ready and make as many as you need, create clones from clones even.

  • How can I stop iTunes from changing tags in Widows 8?

    So, this is not new to Windows 8, I've also had this problem for years with Windows 7 also. However it seems to have gotten worse with Windows 8. I've been hoping Apple would fix this but it has been an ongoing nagging problem with iTunes for as long as I can recall, maybe 2008-ish?
    Here is my problem, I double click a song and the song starts playing and simultaneously disappears. I then realized the song was moved to a duplicate artist name. The reason for this is iTunes has filled in the sorting tag info for "album artist". So they have the same "artist" and "album" but different album artists. So I delete the album artist and they recombine. I then play another song and poof its gone as well. Resorted with a new "album artist". So I fight a never ending battle or keeping my songs grouped correctly because iTunes keeps changing the tags and messing up the sort order.
    The next problem I have is I go though my artist list and find "Santana/Santana" or "Bob Seger/Bob Seger". Why is it changing the artist tag from "artist" to "artist/artist" on my tag? I then see two Bob Seger artists. One has an "album artist" of "Bob Seger and the Silver Bullet Band" the other is blank since I don't use the "album artist" tag. So for years I'm constantly re-editing tags trying to keep iTunes from separating artists into multiple listings.
    As I said previously lately it is so bad that every time I click a song it vanishes into a new artist album listing creating duplicates. I've disabled every preference I could find and nothing works. So at this point I assume it is an iTunes problem. Am I the only one who has this problem?

  • How can I stop iTunes from changing my tags?

    I have a MacBook Pro running Yosemite, and iTunes 12. When I play a track, iTunes often changes the tags automatically, but not for every track. It's particularly difficult with compilations, where it will take a song and change the album to something I don't even own.
    Now, I have had the computer for a while, and have had iTunes addons before, so it may be a legacy, but I've had the computer so long, I don't remember all of the apps I've had and uninstalled over the years.
    I have followed the directions for cleaning out plugins and extensions from the library folders, but it's still happening.
    Does anyone know of an app that has this functionality, so I can check their forums, or, if there's no there a way to do a clean install of iTunes on a Mac?
    Thanks.

  • How can I have iTunes find its newly converted mp3 files?

    Hi,
    I am not a power user. I have a playlist that is apparently composed of different file formats. So when I tried to burn them to a CD it gave me 92 songs that could not be burned as an mp3. I then chose to convert them to mp3. It apparently did it because I looked for the files in finder and saw the mp3 versions.
    How can I now have iTunes use THOSE new mp3 files for burning? There must be a simple way to do that.
    Thanks,
    Jorge

    Thanks Jim,
    Is there any way to list them by "type"? I made the playlist from several playlists and I am sure that some of the offending songs are from several of those playlists.
    I tried tricking iTunes into writing them onto a cd by just dumping the new MP3 duplicates into the same list and then telling it to burn. I then expected it to tell me the same 92 songs could not be written and planned to just tell it to skip those since now had them in as MP3s but it is now telling me that it will require more than one CD. Is that because the files are now bigger or because it is counting the 92 files that it will not be writing anyway?
    Thanks,
    Jorge

  • I am trying to do a blank composition widget, but it keeps ignoring my state changes for the trigger. How can I have my state changes still work for things placed in the trigger?

    So below is what I have so far. The menu is working perfectly, thanks to a few Youtube tutorials. And everything is linked correctly. But the only thing is that the "WORK" button doesn't respond to the state change that is set up for it. I tried applying the state change before I placed it in the trigger area, and after. Neither seems to make it work.
    The goal state change is basically that the text "WORK" will turn white, and the white space within the teal stroke will also turn teal. So, the colors will reverse. I have a link next to it, "ABOUT" that is currently successfully doing it. I guess if it's not possible then I will have to figure out another design..but I'd like to see if there is a way to do it!

    I believe you are trying to get a color state for composition when its active ? please publish the site and provide the url to have a look.
    Thanks,

  • How can I use itunes store credit with Apple TV without the credit card code?

    I would like to allow guests in my home to use the credit in my iTunes account to purchase movies and TV shows on the Apple TV in my guest room.
    Unfortunately, it seems that in order to make a purchase they will need my credit card security code.  If they have this, then they could purchase an arbitrary number of movies, but I would like to limit purchases to the credit in the account.
    Is there any solution here?  How can I give my guests an Apple TV "allowance" (not a monthly allowance, a one-time allowance) and not give them my credit card security code?

    You can't really do this with an already existing AppleID from what I know. Now, if you don't have an AppleID, here's the run-down of how to do it:

  • How can I keep iTunes from changing my iphone settings, etc.?

    After a HD failure, I had to do a complete reinstall of Snow Leopard. I had my content backed up on an external HD and now want to sync things up again with my iphone.
    Problem is that I have things set up on the iphone, such as the placement of my apps, and when I connect to itunes, it wants to scrap everything and sync with the "new" itunes library.
    Is there a way to tell itunes to sync with my iphone using the iphone config instead of the itunes config? I really don't want to go and reset everything up on the iphone, but want to get synced up again.
    Thanks

    To prevent your iPhone from automatically syncing when you plug it in, click on iTunes in the menu bar, then preferences, then "devices", then tick "prevent iPhones, iPad's and iPod's from syncing automatically".
    Plug it in, then on the iPhone sync summary screen, click "info" along the top.
    Make sure the "sync contacts" option is not ticked. as long as it's not ticked, then it won't sync with your mac's contacts but will still include them in backups.
    Also, if you use iCloud, make sure that the iPhone/mac are either not signed into the same account, or that "contacts" is not turned on for both of them

  • How can I stop Itunes from asking to allow to check for Iphone updates?

    Everytime I start Itunes it tells me it wants to check for updates of my Iphone software. There is no way to turn it off - except for allowing it to do it automatically - which I dont want eather.
    Its anoying and the reason why I like apple is because its not in your face al the time asking for updates...

    Have you tried opening iTunes on the laptop and checking the option "Prevent iPods and iPhones from syncing automatically" in iTunes>Preferences>Devices (or Edit>Preferences>Devices in Windows)?

  • HT4098 I have a subscription to The Telegraph which I purchased before changing my email and apple ID.  How can I get iTunes to transfer this purchase and put it under my new apple ID?

    have a subscription to The Telegraph which I purchased before changing my email and apple ID.  How can I get iTunes to change it to current ID

    Did you create a NEW Apple ID or did you change the email address for your OLD Apple ID? This will affect how you update apps in the future.
    Anyway, go to Settings/iTunes&App Stores, log out, then log in with the new ID.

  • How can I have Acrobat Pro v8 and v7 installed but have v7 as default?

    I just re-formatted my hard drive and reinstalled CS3 Design Standard.
    I need the better quality voice to read pdf docs to me. The voice in Version 7 is very much better. Yet when I select a pdf file and go to info, where it shows what will open it -- it WILL NOT let me specify Acrobat 7 permanently. It keeps popping back to Acrobat 8. Same problem before I reformatted the drive and re-installed everything. so the issue is within Acrobat.
    How can I get it to do what I'm asking short of zipping the version 8 file and leaving only Acrobat 7 in my Applications folder?
    This is annoying having to keep Acrobat 8 hobbled.
    Thanks.
    I have OSX 10.4.11 PPC.

    Gosh wish I could proof read what I write and can catch mistakes.
    I'm going to try again. correcting mistakes and I will bold face corrections:
    Try the following This *doesn't* work for the MSOffice2008 but usually does for others.
    On OSX.4.11.
    choose a group of PDF's (more than 5).
    now either control-click or right click on the group and wait for context menu to open up.
    select get *Summary Info* on the group.
    now when get info window is open look for default application.
    If acrobat 8 is selected click on button and locate acrobat 7. release when mouse when 7 is selected.
    Below That will be another button That says make default for all files of this type. click on That button.
    close get *Summary Info window*. Test.
    Now if you need a PDF opened in 8 either open 8 first then choose desired file or if you have the Acrobat 8 icon in the Dock drag and drop document on the icon of Acrobat 8
    IF you retry then Acrobat is like Office2008 setting this has no effect.
    In this case you can highlight the File go to finder menu File and choose open with. you have to wait for a list to be created of applications that will open. Choose desired version of Acrobat or Reader from there.
    Or if you have icon of both Acrobat 7 and 8 in the dock, drop the file on the icon of Acrobat 7.
    See if I did better this time.

  • How can I have 2 variables for one output?

    I need it so that the spacebar does one thing on one frame and another thing on the other.

  • I have been charged by iTunes through my credit card but I didn't buy any application, how can i know iTunes charge me for what?

    I have been charged by iTunes through my credit card but I didn't buy any application, how can i know iTunes charge me for?

    You can check the purchase history on your account via the Store > View Account menu option on your computer's iTunes, though I'm not sure if that shows auto-renewing subscriptions. Have you added or changed your credit card details on your account (when you do then a small temporary store holding charge may be applied to check that the details are correct and valid, which should disappear within a few days) ? If you haven't changed your card details or can't find or don't recognise what the charge is for then you can contact iTunes Support via this page : http://www.apple.com/support/itunes/contact/ - click on Contact iTunes Store Support on the right-hand side of the page, then Purchases, Billing & Redemption
