How can I make a copy of a song, change the album cover of the copy, but have the original stay the same?

So, this is going to take some time to explain, but I'm going to try it.
I'm trying to build a compilation playlist with songs from other albums. I want to change the name of the album in the info of the song and the cover for the new playlist. When I do this, the original copy changes as well. I don't want this to happen. Is it possible to avoid this?

Frankly I would just make your album a playlist and live with the original album names in the individual items.
If you really want to name them individually you will have to make copies of the files and add them a second time to iTunes.  One easy way to do this is drag the tracks you want to a different drive (it could just be a flash drive).  It will make copies of the files on that other drive. Now drag them back to an empty playlist window.  That way you will be able to keep them separate from the original track until you can rename them.  In dragging back to iTunes it will put a copy in the iTunes folders so you will end up with two copies of the files, the second one for editing.

  • How can I make it so that my songs don't go on her iPod and her songs ....

    Me and my mother just got iPods for christmas and hers was a U2 ipod and mine was a 30gb ipod. I have downloaded some songs and have imported some cds but my mother doesn't want those songs on her ipod. How can I make it so that my songs don't go on her iPod and her songs don't go on mine.Do i need to create another itunes?

    The computer can tell the difference between your two iPods. When you first plugged each one in, you named them and the computer recognizes each one as a separate disk.
    Now, when you plug in your iPod, and you are looking in iTunes at your iPod contents, you will see four buttons in the bottom right corner of iTunes - the first one is to display iPod options. Click on this, and under the music tab, select "Automatically update selected playlists only". Then, you scroll through your playlists and select only those you want to be transferred to your iPod. Your mother can do the same thing. Now you can each make your own playlists from the same music library, and only those songs you want to go onto your iPod will transfer when you plug it in. You can make the same selections for all the other options too (video, podcats. photos, etc), so that you only have to have what you want on each iPod.
    I have two iPods, a new 5g video iPod and an ancient 1g iPod, and have no problems syncing each of them with different playlists and options.

  • How can I make an ant file that launches an AS project app in a debug flash player that traces to the flex console?

    How can I make an ant file that launches an AS project app in a debug flash player that traces to the flex console?
    Basically I like the control over the compiling process that I get by using Ant - but I really want traces to come up immediately without having to switch contexts.
    I have an ant file that successfully launches a swf in the flashplayer - but I don't know how to make the flex console start displaying the trace output. I assume that I will have to point it to the appropriate trace output file - but I am not sure how to have ant even address the console.  Is this possible?
    Here is the the target node from my ANT file:
        <target name="launch">
            <exec executable="${FLASHPLAYER_EXE}" errorproperty="trace.output">
                <arg line="'${DEPLOY_DIR}\test.swf'" />
            </exec>
        </target>
    Thanks for any thoughts, or alternatives!

    For the record, I ended up using Logwatcher - it worked perfectly.

    I am a bit of a computer/Internet/iTunes dummy....
    I am concerned about the health of my current computer but have not yet made the commitment to a new one, but:
    1) How can I transfer my iTunes account to a new computer when I get one...
    and
    2) What can I do if my current computer suddenly implodes and I have not yet 'copied/'saved'/otherwise protected my account, as is? -- I have already had my computer crash once and had one of your people help me restore all of the paid for songs (none of the uploaded from my own collection of CD songs, of course, so I had to spend a long time rebuilding that) -- and I believe I was told you could only help me recover that material one or two times altogether, no?
    WithOUT purchasing a Mach or iCloud (I actually think I have one of the later, but rarely have checked it) account, is there anything I can do to responsibly protect my account?
    Thanks for any time taken on this!!!

    These are two possible approaches that will normally work to move an existing library to a new computer.
    Method 1
    Backup the library with this User Tip.
    Deauthorize the old computer if you no longer want to access protected content on it.
    Restore the backup to your new computer using the same tool used to back it up.
    Keep your backup up-to-date in future.
    Method 2
    Connect the two computers to the same network. Share your <User's Music> folder from the old computer and copy the entire iTunes library folder into the <User's Music> folder on the new one. Again, deauthorize the old computer if no longer required.
    Both methods should give the new computer a working clone of the library that was on the old one. As far as iTunes is concerned this is still the "home" library for your devices so you shouldn't have any issues with iTunes wanting to erase and reload.
    I'd recommend method 1 since it establishes an ongoing backup for your library.
    Note if you have iOS devices and haven't moved your contacts and calendar items across then you should create one dummy entry of each in your new profile and iTunes should  merge the existing data from the device.
    If your media folder has been split out from the main iTunes folder you may need to do some preparatory work to make it easier to move. See make a split library portable.
    Should you be in the unfortunate position where you are no longer able to access your original library or a backup then then see Recover your iTunes library from your iPod or iOS device for advice on how to set up your devices with a new library with the maximum preservation of data.

  • HT5114 How can I use my gift card to purchase? It says i already redeemed it but I haven't used the money in it.

    How can I use my gift card to purchase? It says i already redeemed it but I haven't used the money in it.

    Does any balance show on your account ? My account's balance shows at the top left of the store's page on my computer's iTunes, and by logging in to view my account via the Store > View Account menu option. On my iOS devices it shows at the bottom of, for example, the Featured tab in the App Store app under my account id (or you can view your account via Settings > iTunes & App Store and it should show on the screen that you are taken to).
    You can check your account's purchase history via your computer's iTunes : See your purchase history in the iTunes Store
    If this is the first time that you've tried to download anything from the store, then unless you followed the instructions on this page when creating your account : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2534
    then credit card details will need to be entered before the account can be used to download any item from the store.
    If you are getting a message to review your account then you could see if this post by mountaingoatgirl lets you do so without needing to enter credit card details : https://discussions.apple.com/message/24303054#24303054

  • How can I make sure under Windows 8 in Explorer to get a real pdf document content file miniature and not the Adobe logo miniature?

    This is not a typical Windows 8 problem, I had the same problem with all my previous Acrobat versions on all previous Windows versions.
    How can I make sure that when consulting pdf files via Windows explorer the pdf file is represented as a genuine miniature of the document content itself and noit just a document icon with Adobe logo?

    Hi Josialaers,
    Turn the 'Preview Pane' ON and you should be able to see the content of the pdf when clicked.
    When 'Show preview handlers in preview pane ON' is checked in 'Folder Options' of Windows Explorer.

  • I can't get my album art to show up in the albums tab on my ipad, but it shows up in the songs tab

    So when I go onto the music section of my iPad, all of the album art for all of my songs appears like it should.  When I go to the albums tab, however, it just shows a white background with the band name and album name.  I have tried resyncing my ipad multiple times, have changed the album art to files under 100 kb, and after a couple syncs, artwork that used to show up before refuses to show up now.

    Can you see the artwork on your iPod/phone?
    Also, just to check: you do know that the artwork viewer on the bottom left has been removed from iTunes 11? (a big mistake imo!!!). The artwork window on your PC is now a tiny icon in the top middle (which appears only when the song is playing) but if you click it you should get a larger window.

  • How can I make an imported image smaller without changing the size of the canvas?

    After downloading some free icons, I used the drag and drop method to bring the icon of my choosing onto a blank canvas that is 313x188 pixels. The image is larger than I need it to be, so I need to make the image smaller while keeping the canvas size at 313x188 pixels. I've tried several things after googling it, but have not had any luck. Help; I'm still learning! Thanks in advance!

    ctrl/cmd-T will bring up transform. Then just drag the handles to size it - hold the shift key to constrain the aspect ratio.

  • I have bought a german card and i have a dutch ipad dutch store, how can I make use of my card without changing to a german store

    I have bought a German card for the app Store, but I have a Dutch Ipad. Nobody tells you that you have a problem.
    I assumed that Apple was international and that cards bought in different countries were no problem and you could use them anywhere.
    Sofar for Apple. I did not expect this from such a big firm. so what am I to do. I can't get my money back, no help from Apple non what so ever.
    APPLE, THIS IS A BIG MISTAKE. I DO NOT RECOMMEND BYING CARDS ITUNES.

    We are fellow users here on these user-to-user forums, you're not talking to iTunes Support nor Apple.
    All iTunes cards are country-specific, and can only be used in their country of issue - those that I've bought here in the UK say on them that they are only valid in the UK store, does the card that you have say similar ? Do you know anybody in Germany that you could sell or give the card to ?

  • How can I make sure I only see what is on my ipad instead of everything I have in the cloud? Since upgrading to 10S 7 I see every programme I have ever bought - which makes it difficult to see the ones I want to watch now.

    I buy programmes etc for the whole family and it used to be that on each ipad I could only see the icons for the programme I chose to sync to the ipd/ipod etc. However, now every programme I have ever bough is dospayed which makes it difficult for family members to know what they can watch and what they can't. How do I resolve this as it has only been sonce the IOS upgrade?

    If these are videos, try going to Settings>iTunes & App Store and turn off Videos under Show All.

  • How can I make my program run faster ? (changing colour indicators quicker)

    Hi everyone, I have a program with 100 indicator colour backgrounds that change according to 100 temperatures. A case structure (with 100 cases) sets the background colours one after the other and runs in a while loop with no timing (as fast as possible). The temperatures are loaded up from an array that is initialized at the beginning of the program. The idea is to have an overall view of the change of temperatures (just by looking at the change of colours). Everything works fine except that it doesn’t run fast enough... The change of colours is not smooth at all ... you can really see the increments. It works fine with 20 temperatures for instance. 1) Would anybody have a solution to improve this? I was wondering if Labview perhaps actualises all of the values each time one changes (just like with the excel cells: an option that you can desactivate and make things run quicker when you use a macro) which would make a big loss of time....  
    There is no data saving this is just a post treatment program. So My my program isn't doing anything else.
     2) I have attached a screen print of a problem a faced when making up the VI I attached. Why can’t I wire directly to the Index Array that is in the For Loop in my VI… I had to go throw a shift register to make up the example. When going back to my original program I couldn’t use the index array a second time (screen shot). Thanks a lot for any help, Regards, User

  • "Current iTunes Song" - How can I make artist name first THEN song title?

    When I have "Current iTunes Song" selected, it shows the song title first and then the artist name. I would like it to be reversed so that people on my buddy list can easily see the artist instead of the song title.
    I have been able to locate a very easy solution to this in the past, but that has seemed to vanish into thin air and I cannot find it.
