How do I get iTunes to ignore articles again?

Recently whenever I download a song where the artist has a definite or indefinite article in its name like "The Beatles", iTunes has been sorting that artist under the article instead of ignoring it like it had been doing. I know how to edit the file after it's already been downloaded. What I want to know is how do I get iTunes to ignore articles again when I download songs?

You're welcome.
Not near my computer right now - using my iPhone, but it should be under general iPhoto preferences. If not available, this means you are using an older iPhoto version.
The same preference setting is available via Image Capture preferences with the Image Capture application located in your Applications folder. Image Capture is an alternative to use for importing photos on a Mac for those not interested in using iPhoto for this purpose.

How do I get iTunes to ignore my wife's iPhone

My wife has an iPhone and I have the iPod Touch. If her iPhone is connected to our Mac Pro, whenever I login to my account iTunes and iPhoto launch to try to sync her phone. How do I teach Leopard and the apps to ignore her device when I login? Likewise, we want her account to ignore my iPod when she logs in. Thanks.

How do I get iTunes to autoplay podcasts again?

So I try and never update iTunes as long as I can stand to have that irritating popup asking me to update, because inevitably the update makes one aspect of iTunes worse. As of the last update Apple seems to believe that because some people don't want their podcasts autoplaying one after another that no one does and that that ability must be done away with!
I've spent about 3 hours searching for a way to get my podcast to play like they did before I updated the freaking thing yesterday with no luck, is their a option that I'm just not seeing to fix this or do I just have to wait for Apple to get a clue and do the easy thing and put a freaking button on the options tab for this?

How can I get iTunes to show movies again instead of a grey screen?

I was able to view my whole library of movies/music videos before the upgrade and now, iTunes will open my movies but it doesn't show them. It plays the sound but the screen is grey. It's a bit demoralising to break something that worked but to break it all together makes me wonder why I spent so much time and money building up my library.
If anyone can help or explain this, I would be grateful. I am running iTunes, 11.2.1(1) on an iMac (late 2013) running 10.9.3

How do I get Itunes to list an album in track order including ignoring featured artists

I recently downloaded Daft Punk's new album after buying it on vinyl. after importing it to itunes, itunes wont list the album in track order. instead it lists the tracks in order per artists. example Daft punk, then Daft punk featuring Pharrel Williams ect...how do i get itunes to understand that they're all the same album and to list them in track order??
thanks

Hi bdm105!
Most likely, this is happening because the Album Artist field is different for each song from Random Access Memories. We have an article about song grouping in iTunes, and it can be found here:
Why aren't songs with the same album art grouped together?
http://support.apple.com/kb/ts1468
There are a couple ways to fix the information listed for Random Access Memories outlined in that article, but I want to point out one here:
Albums in which all songs don't have the same Album Artist information
iTunes 7 and later includes a new attribute for song files called Album Artist This allows you to assign a primary artist name for an album that many includes songs by several artists. It is important that all songs in the album have the same Album Artist name. To assign an Album Artist, select all the songs in the album and choose Get Infofrom the File menu. Next, type a name in the Album Artist field name such that it will apply to all the selected songs. This field can optionally be left blank if all the songs have the same album name.
The Album Artist field is shown in the above picture, but it is not highlighted. You will also want to make sure the Track Number field contains the correct information for the album, and information on that field can be found here:

Hey vlasta4444,
It sounds like you'll want to change the time it takes for the computer to goto sleep from System Preferences> Energy Saver.

My music files are "missing". How do I get itunes to locate the files without identifying each music folder (files are in separate folders under torrent data and I don't want to open each one of them individually)

Just like the title... Music files are missing and I don't want to locate each folder individually, how do I get itunes to locate all of the music without taking each music file out from the album folders they're in?

How can I get iTUNES library to display renamed files and folders (renamed with Windows Explorer)?

How can I get iTunes library to display the new names and organisation of tracks and albums (ie files and folders) that I have renamed and reorganised (using Windows Explorer) having previously imported them using iTunes?
(Even when I relocate "lost" tracks in iTunes (using the drop down menu facility to view in Windows explorer), although iTunes will then play the track, and knows where to find it, it refuses to display the track with its correct (new) name, or show it the correct (new) album. That means I have lots of things called "Untitled" and "Track 01" etc, all of which have actually been renamed, but iTunes does not seem to have the capability to recognise the changes and update its library listing. Another example - a Tchaikovsky CD with 3 major works in 13 tracks insists on displaying in iTunes as 13 tracks in one album, despite the fact that I have reorganised the tracks into 3 albums - two being Swan Lake and The Nutcracker - and renamed the individual tracks to a more useable format.)

Thanks for your replies ckuan
I agree with Tgod that your first solution does not work. It appears unpredictable whether the old or new file names are listed when you drag the folders into iTunes from Windows Explorer. The folder structure is completely missing. I reckon if you have to muck around spending days/weeks/months finding out how to fix links to a secret meta-file (obviously designed by some deep-cover microsoft worm working in the Apple!), then it's pretty obvious that almost any alternate way of doing this would be better. Bye bye iTunes!!
Incidentally, I tried several other things that (if the software was designed intuitively) should work, but give disastrous results:
1) when deleting the library listing in iTunes, it gives you two options - one is to remove the listings to the Recycler. Be aware that IF you select that option, it removes not only your library listing, but also your ACTUAL MUSIC FILES to the Recycler. Moreover, it does NOT remove the insidious secret meta-file that is what apparently keeps rewriting old names over your carefully renamed file names, and keeps totally ignoring your carefully designed folder (album) structure. OK - not a complete disaster, as I realised and went hunting through the chaos in the Recycler to recover all my files. No thanks to the genius who designed this brilliant feature!
2) after deleting the library listing in iTunes, I attempted to import just the folders that I wanted. iTunes refused to allow me to do that, and proceeded to try to import every frigging music file it could find on my whole hard drive, in apparently random fashion into the library. Whoever thought up that doozy either never ever tried to use or market test it, or has modified their mind rather too many times with artificial substances so their brain is like muesli chop suey.
3) oh why go on, it's too depressing ...
