How do I get back audiobook Metadata fields that iTunes 12 has removed?

The Audiobooks Get Info window in iTunes 12 appears be lacking fields that previously existed unless you had them filled in. I can’t find a way to access the ‘missing’ fields - either to add them back or fill them in. Example - I previously used Author as the one who wrote the book and Album Artist at the voice who reads the book (JK Rowling vs Jim Dale), each of those offering a different Sort category I should be able to select by. But if I didn’t have it filled it when I converted to iTunes 12, I can’t do it now! Same thing with Year. I can make the List View show a Year column, but if it wasn’t previously filled it, I can’t figure out how to add it. Clicking in the blank under the Year column doesn’t highlight it to be filled in and Get Info view won’t offer Year as a Field (it’s not listed under the Add Field drop down menu at the bottom of Get Info window either). I even tried going to a book with everything filled in and choosing Always Show Current Fields from the Add Field drop down, hoping it would allow those fields on all the books, to no avail. It feels like Apple is restricting our ability to manipulate the Metadata in our libraries so that they don't best function how us users have set them up. First iBooks and now Audiobooks in iTunes. Any suggestions?

what exactly are you trying to do? What does the purchase history in iTunes have to do with getting Snow Leopard? What do you mean by "don't want to re-purchase OS all over again to get back to Snow Leopard"?

I can't pass playlists from itunes to my i-pod, and the sthetic of the new itunes is not a good one.
Could I get back an older version? those were easier to use, more simplier

Apple wisely leaves a copy of iMovie version 9 installed in the Application folder when you download version 10.

I changed my Apple ID, now I can't login to iCloud because it still has my old Apple ID and the password no longer works to log me in. How can I get back into iCloud so that I can switch off Find my iPhone so I can make these changes? Thank you.

Stateful session beans are not persisted across restart of the EJB server instance(s) hosting them. You can't treat a Session bean as one would an entity bean.

When I am viewing an E-Mail and click on a link, how do I get back to the page that had the link?

When I am viewing an E-Mail and click on a link, how do I get back to the page that had the link?

I am replying to myself. I called for Tech support and found out that when I tapped on the link I went to a web page in Safari and to double tap on the home button at the bottom of the iPad and then tap on "Mail" to get me back where I was.
I hope this helps anyone else with the same question.

My iCloud has been 'upgrading' for the last 12 hrs. That is, after I had pressed 'install after downloading the latest, improved version without entering my password. How do I get back to the window that will allow me to enter my password?

My iPad has been 'upgrading' for the last 12hrs.That is, after I had downloaded the new version of iCloud, and pressed 'Install' without entering my password. It is probably searching for it. How do I go back to the window that will allow me to enter my password. I have tried switching off the device, but each time the 'upgrading' comes on. I have also switched it off and left it on the charger for at least 6 hrs.

Hi Rour and vc38,

It's best to report this to Apple, as the more they hear from us the more likely we'll get a fix (hopefully). There is probably a common issue with this, but I'm struggling to think of what may have triggered the problem. Was it a "recent" update to iMovie or OS X Mountain Lion, or perhaps another updated app conflicting with iMovie?
To report the problem to Apple, in iMovie's menu click on iMovie > Provide iMovie Feedback.

Do you have the Test Pilot Addon? Test pilot was expirimenting with new tab pages recently, to determine which new tab page should make it into a later version of firefox (probably 9 or 10). I believe the study is over now, so they have removed the new tab page.

How do I get back the old songs that were wiped out on my Ipod, when the new songs were downloaded?

I recently had to have everything on my harddrive moved to an external harddrive by the Geek Squad. Subsequent to that, I purchased six new songs from Itunes, and downloaded them to my Ipod. When I did that, all 126 of my old songs were wiped out. However, Itunes still shows all of the old, as well as the new songs. How can I access the "older" songs so that I can then add them back to the newer songs?

Hey LiLi521,
I found a few articles that can help you out. Depending on what version of iTunes you're using, check out either:
iTunes 11 for Windows: Set up syncing for iPod, iPhone, or iPad
http://support.apple.com/kb/PH12313
or for older versions:
iTunes: Syncing media content to iPod
http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1351
You can set up your iPod for automatic or manual syncing, and depending on which option you choose the process will be different. Either route you choose, by following those directions you should be able to get both your older songs and the newly purchased ones onto your iPod.
Hope this helps,
David

How do I get back my downloaded files that were deleted through terminal?

After taking advice from another discussion which was supposed to help me change the 'Invisible' file to being visible my tv show downloads deleted.... how do I get them back?!?!

You can try something such as Data Rescue 3 to see if you can undelete the files - I've had good luck with it and can recommend it. You may or may not be able to recover your files, depending primarily on whether the files have been overwitten or not.
Good luck,
Clinton

How do i get back my garageband songs that are only on icloud?

Yesterday i enabled icloud in garageband and upliaded a couple of songs. It worked as it should until i opened it today and found that a song has a green arrow pointing down in its top right corner. I tapped on it, but after getting a grey overlay nothing happened. I checked and the is on icloud, but icant get it back. I alo dont have just 2g ipod and a windows 7 pc, so o other apple products.
If anyone has the same problem and found a solution i'd appreciate the help.
Thanks in advance.

Hi
I have the same problem too with two songs which are in the same state. Mine also happened when I was uploading to iCloud and GarageBand crashed during the upload.
It's really annoying as these songs were from live instruments plugged into my iPad and I was using iCloud as a backup but now it's lost the entire song.
I've tried turning off iCloud and getting duplicates of iCloud songs copied to my iPad and then enabling iCloud again and that didn't fix it.
I'm currently downloading the latest patch release of GarageBand to see whether installing that version (which apparently fixes the problem in the first place) will help my songs magically reappear.
Feel I have nothing to lose as I can't get to the songs ........
There's two other threads on this issue as well:
https://discussions.apple.com/message/18459394#18459394
https://discussions.apple.com/message/18459395#18459395
So suggest we bring these together in this thread.

How do I get back my Acrobat X that came with CS6?

Has anyone experienced this issue and any solutions?

So, was the issue resolved? Did the installation completed successfully and are you able to use the product?

How do I get mp3 audiobooks on disks into itunes audiobooks?

I have a bunch of audiobooks that come on disk in mp3 format. I have not figured out how to get them into the audiobooks section on itunes. They all go to the music section. You would think you could drag it out of the music section into the audiobooks section but it doesn't work. Any suggestions?

Since they are mp3 files they cannot go into the audiobooks section. At least not directly. Never done it myself but if iTunes can convert from mp3 to aac you should be able to move the files. (Itunes will actually move the files)
Essentially the files must be in from audible.com format or in AAC format with .m4b extension instead of .m4a (default AAC).
Check this out.
