How can I organize the library under a "date of creation" file parameter?

Does anybody know if there is a way to arrange the iTunes library so that it shows up in the iTunes window with its songs organized with a “date of creation” of the file parameter? Among the “view options” there is a “date added” and “date modified” but no “date created” option. Thanks.

Yes, iTunes will "add" the file at the same time it "creates" it. In the event that for some
reason the library files are deleted or you reinstall OS X and therefore iTunes, then you will
encounter this problem. When you "add" the ripped music files that were stored in a
separate music-dedicated hard drive, these will indeed appear in the library as being
"added" that same day. I have a fairly large ripped CD collection that I started to "create" 8
years ago (first with Sound Jam and then with iTunes) and I got used to searching the music
in the library knowing that the files that were "created" 8 years ago were at the beginning
of the list and so on. When I moved from Sound Jam to iTunes in OS 9 and then to iTunes in
OS X I remember that somehow the "Date" option showed the files in the library in the same
exact order they had been "created".
Although I could delete all the songs from the library and then add each ripped file from
the iTunes Music folder back again into the library in the same order as it was "created", I
am looking for a less time consuming way of doing this.
When you click once on any file of any kind in the computer and then "Get Info", among the
information provided are "size", "created", and "modified". iTunes has included "modified"
and "size" among others but not "created" in the "View Options". I assume this is not because it is difficult to include but perhaps Apple does not find this option worthwhile.

  • I have the computer with my itunes library on it but no longer have access to the email account the library was set up with. How can I transfer the library to a new appleid/email?

    I have the computer that holds my itunes library. However, I no longer have access to the email account (and therefore apple account) it was set up with so can't sync/update etc. How can I transfer the library to my new apple id? Any help gratefully received as searched the internet but can't find the answer!
    Have ipod touch 4th gen, ipod touch 5th gen and ipod nano 7th gen all to sync to library.

    Hi Stillme,
    You cannot transfer purchases from one Apple ID to another. You need to go into the old Apple ID and change it to the new email address instead of using a new Apple ID altogether.
    Apple - My Apple ID
    If you can't remember the password to the old ID, then click on Reset your Password, and answer the Security Questions. If you can't remember the Security Questions, contact iTunes Support and have them reset:
    APPLE ID SECURITY CONTACT NUMBERS
    Once you get into your old account, Edit the Apple ID to your new email address. Before you will be able to do that you are going to have to change the email address on the new Apple ID to something else.

  • How can I get the cursor's position in a opened file and display a menu?

    Hello,
    I want to make a program by which I will be able to display a panel/pops up menu at the corsor's current position, (In any text/doc file or in the desktop, we can display a menu by right click of the mouse.) Now I want my program to do the same task.
    More clearly-
    1. First I would save some words or sentences in a file(aa.txt).
    2. Then I would open another text file/ a word/ excel/ or any other editor( bb.txt / cc.doc / dd.xls / ee.html ).
    3. While editing or writing something in the opened file, if I click the right mouse button/ press a key (ctrl+space), a menu will appear containing the sentences I saved in the file(aa.txt) previously.
    My program will tell me the cursor's position in bb.txt / cc.doc / dd.xls / ee.html that i opened. And display a menu. my problem is not reading / writing in a file.
    My problem is how can I get the cursor's position in a opened file display a menu at that position by a mouse/key action*.
    Would you please help me on this regard.
    Thanks

    how can I saved the ipad isms conversation in a iMac file to be able of deleting them from the ipad?

    Hi Aurea,
    One way of saving your sms conversations so that you can then delete them from your iPad would be to back up the contents of your iPad using either iTunes or iCloud. See these articles -

    iCloud: iCloud storage and backup overview
    Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.

    The tangent ist the derivative of the curve in that point. You can try to use a numerical derivative vi or keep it simple an approximate with a line through the adjacent points.

  • While transferring several files to the G-Raid, the G-Raid device locks up with the following warnings:   "The Finder can't complete the operation because some data in (whatever file) can't be read or written (Error code - 36)."

    While transferring several files to the G-Raid, the G-Raid device locks up with the following warnings:   "The Finder can't complete the operation because some data in (whatever file) can't be read or written (Error code - 36).” NOt sure this is a G-Raid problem, can anyone help?

    This is likely a problem with the drive itself. This error indicates unspecified I/O errors with the drive, which can be from a hardware fault, or a formatting issue. If the drive has valuable data on it, then try connecting it to another PC to get the data off, and then try fully partitioning and formatting the drive with Disk Utility. If this corrects the error then you should be able to use the drive again as it was likely a formatting issue, but if the problem continues then it is likely a hardware fault and the best solution is to be safe and replace the drive.

  • How to speed up the loading of live data into flash file.

    How to speed up the loading of live data into flash file if the swf file size is 1.5 MB. Flash file is using 20 web service connections to load the live data.

    Hello,

Also the SWF file is approximately 2MB in size  and it uses 42 live office connections.
    Please suggest solution as to how to decrease the time it takes to refresh the live office connections.

  • How can I make the sort default "by date" in iPhoto?

    On one of my computers, every time I load an event, it goes to the top of the library and I have to go to "sort/by date" to get it to go to the end or bottom of the library...where I want it.
    On my other computers, the default seems to be "by date" normally....
    How can I make the default sort option "by date?"
    Thanks.

    I am not by that computer now.  But that makes sense.
    I combine events that are imported into that iPhoto.  I suppose that would qualify as manually sorting....right?
    Still, shouldn't there be a way to overide that and make "date" the default.  That is, if your observation is correct.
    (I'll take a look tomorrow....)
    Thanks!!

  • How can I change the User Password expiry date

    Hi,
    I want to know how can I change the password expiration date of my user without changing his password. For eg:-
    User password expires on 12th May 2007. I want to extend to 12th Jun 2007. Is there any option in Oracle.
    Alter User <USERNAME> password expire .....<to new date>;

    The command is not alter user set expire...
    You should modify the user's profile, and set a timeframe:
    ALTER PROFILE DEFAULT LIMIT
    PASSWORD_LIFE_TIME = num_of_days;
    This way your password will be valid from the last time it was changed and for the time frame previously defined.

  • How can I set the Lock Model and data structure ?

    Hi ,
    I just have two questions about JE:
    1) Is there some method for me to set the lock mode level , such as record lock, page lock and database lock in JE?
    2) I learned that there are Btree and Hash,etc , data structures , How can I set the data structure when using JE ?
    Thanks in advance !
    Chris

    I think you're confusing our DB (C-based product) with JE. JE does not have lock mode levels, page locks (it does not have pages), or database locks. JE only has the BTREE method, it does not have the HASH method. For JE, please be sure to reference the JE doc page:

  • How can I dispaly the FML buffer to validate my .tbl files

    Having sporadic problems with custom FML files in our .tbl files. Sometimes they
    work and sometimes get an error: "FML Field Not Found". How can I display the fml
    buffer that tuxedo thinks it's generated from the .tbl files?
    I've been through all the tmadmin commands and can't find anything appropriate.
    Thanks.

    Colin,
    I don't really understand your question here... Tuxedo doesn't generate FML
    buffers by itself, application code does that. That's why tmadmin has no
    concept of "dispaying an FML buffer" - which buffer? In which context?
    What exactly is going on in your application when you are seeing a problem?
    What leads you to think that the field tables are at fault?
    Regards,
    Peter.

  • JPA - How can I use the table's default Date types? e.g. CURRENT_TIME

    Once again, can't find an answer anwhere.
    I would like to know if/how one can use the default date/time/datetime types as declared for the target table when attempting to persist an entity having these fields set as null.
    create table item
         item_id INTEGER NOT NULL PRIMARY KEY DEFAULT AUTOINCREMENT,
         date_created DATETIME NOT NULL DEFAULT NOW(*),
         date_updated DATETIME NOT NULL DEFAULT NOW(*),
    );Now how can I get the above table to work when attempting to em.persist(myItem) whereby dateCreated and dateUpdated are both null?

    I should also mention that TopLink has always supported the ability to retrieve the current time from the database for use in optimistic locking. The TimestampLockingPolicy offers the ability to configure the next value being retrieved from the database instead of using the local time from the JVM. Our extended optimistic locking configuration does not currently support setting this option but it could be done using a descriptor customizer which can be configured in your persistence unit properties.
    Using optimistic locking may be a good solution for the last modified date since it will also ensure that you do not corrupt the database if someone else has incremented this value since your last read.

  • MY LAPTOP CRASHED BUT MY LIBRARY IS ON MY HOME PC HOW CAN I GET THE LIBRARY BACK TO MY LAPTOP WITHOUT ERASING THE SONGS I REPURCHASED

    HOW CAN I MOVE LIBRARY FROM ONE PC TO MY LAPTOP WITHOUT ERASING REPURCHASED SONGS ON MY LAPTOP

    I had the similar problem last night and found a solution (although it takes more than a few clicks).  Highlight all the album tracks in itunes on the pc and right click "get info". Check the artwork box in this window.  I found that the now playing art was showing up in the itunes window, but on songs that were missing artwork showed nothing in the get info box.  When I replaced the artwork by using the artwork command, or manually adding it into the "get info" window.  It was annoying but my iphone updated every album.
