How do I get rid of the Track number in a song's name?

So I just got a new windows computer and transferred all my songs from my old windows machine to this one. Unfortunately, a lot of the files have numbers in front of their name, in fact almost all of them do (I'm talking about the actual file in their respective folders). What puzzles me is some of the songs, once added to itunes, have the track number in front of their name in itunes, while others do not. I started to rename each song, but that is taking way too long. Do any of you know of a way to select a large group of songs and modify each name only a little with out changing each one to the same thing?  I pretty much have to delete 3 spaces before each song. Any suggestions would be really helpful.
P.S. the sort cuts for play/pause/skip/reverse only work for windows media center, which really isn't great. When I try to use them they will literally launch windows media center. is there a way to change this so that they will work for itunes?

Do a hard reset by pressing the button on the face of your Ipad and the on off switch.

  • How do i get rid of the exclamation points by my songs

    I transferred my music on to a new computer from a zip drive.  Some of my songs play fine, but others have an exclamation point next to them and say the file can't be found.  What do I do?

    Select a broken song, press Ctrl+I to get info, click No when iTunes asks you locate the file, then look at the location on the summary tab. It will begin file://localhost/. Where is the file really?
    I'd expect broken songs to be listed as file://localhost/<some path>/<Artist>/<Album>/## <Name>.<Ext> and the real location to be <different path>\<Artist>\<Album>\## <Name>.<Ext>. Sometimes it is just a matter of manipulating the physical location to match iTunes records, or tweaking a settings file if one path includes a folder called Music before <Artist> but the other doesn't. If that won't work I have a script called FindTracks that can be pointed at the folder with the media and used to reconnect the tracks as long as they are in some vague semblance of order.

  • TS1702 I made a request to update an App in my iPad, but I found out that it was not supported. How can I get rid of the annoying number from the App Store now?

    I don' t want to loose my data!!

    As of the current version, I don't believe there is a way to tell the App Store app to ignore updates. You can send Apple feedback at http://www.apple.com/feedback/, but in short there is nothing you can do. As long as you don't try to update the app (either pressing the update button or update all), the app should continue to work fine with your data remaining intact. It has been a while since I've tried to update an app that isn't supported (last time was under iOS 3 or 4), so I can't comment about what would happen if you did try to update it. (My best guess is it will display an alert saying it is not compatible, and leave the previous version there, but not take away the 'update' in the APp Store app updates page).

  • How can I get rid of the two-second gap between songs?

    Any help will be appreciated.

    Inside the iTunes program
    Right click on the iPod icon
    Select 'iPod options'
    Select 'Playback' folder
    I use a 6 second crossfade playback - kind of like FM radio programming phases a song in or out
    Hope this helps!

  • I was reviewing my list of songs in my library "on my I-Pod".  I noticed that a few of the songs on the list have an Exclamation Point in front of the track, and the track won't play. How do I get rid of the Exclamation Point so that the track will play.

    Hello enrique a.
    Instead of trying to re-invent the wheel on this one, take a look at an article such as this one to help you take care of these exclamations.  Basically, it means iTunes is unable to locate the file on your computer anymore.

  • My video's have moved a few times so I have many of the movies showing up 4 times. But only one of the 4 is the real path. How to I get rid of the invalid paths in mass? I know I can get rid of them one-by-one but I want to do a bulk clean up.

    I have many movies. I have moved them a few times. Now each movie shows up about 4 times in the video list but only 1 of the 4 is a valid path. How can I get rid of the invalid one in-mass. I know I can do them individually but it would take too long. So I want to do a bulk clean up so all the links are valid but I can't find a way to do it.

    Install iTunes Folder Watch and set its option to check for dead tracks on startup. This will root out any tracks that are no longer in your folders, and can add any that are in your folders, but not in iTunes.

  • How can I get rid of the display of the last played music-title

    How can I get rid of the display of the last played music-title
    When playing a music-title the name of the title and it's progress is displayed in the box at the top of iTunes, even if the music is already stopped or ended. This display is impeding f.i. when copying music-albums to iPhones and watching the progress. Can anyone tell me please how to make the display of the last played music-title disappear?
    Thank you very much in advance.

    OK, thank you very much, fiend.
    However: Since yesterday afternoon my e-mail-acount is being flooded with 50+ e-mails every few hours which are not at all related to my question. I'm copying the properties of one e-mail as a sample. Could you please organize this flood to stop or tell me what to do?
    Thank you very much!

  • Since downloading ios5 on my iphone 4 the capacity guage in itunes shows other as over 21Gb and i can no longer fit any music on it. How do I get rid of the other stuff? other

    Since downloading ios5 on my iphone 4 a few days ago, the capacity guage in itunes shows "other" as over 21Gb and i can no longer fit any music on my iphone.
    How do I get rid of the other stuff?
    capacity available on 32 Gb iphone is 28.49Gb
    i previously had 21.97 Gb music, over 6 Gb photos, about 1Gb of apps, and minute amount of audio
    now i have no music, 5.4 Gb photos and similar (0.8Gb) for  apps and audio. i have deleted heaps of photos and unused apps to try to make space but obviosly this is a much bigger problem. I also created a smaller music folder on itunes to sync to but at present no music is selected for syncing due to the lack of available space.
    i have 15Gb icloud account now also which is about half full.
    Ive done a little research and heard similar tales but with much smaller other totals than this. Can you help?
    i cant update my apps as i get a message saying i do not have enough available space.

    I had the same problem today and was able to resolve it without having to do a restore or reset. The problem had something to do with my mail accounts. The upgrade reset my mail settings, switching both my gmail and my .mac mail to "archive all mail". I went into the General Settings, disabled that setting, and resynced the phone. The "other" storage allottment dropped back down to less than a gig.
    Before you restore or reset, I would try that first.

    that is odd! that should not be happening.
    Are you syncing your songs right off of itunes itself? because it should be syncing over to the ipod however it is listed in itunes.

  • How can I get rid of the dates and time on my Notes

    How do I get rid of the dates and times on my Notes that appeared when I updated to 8?

    Yes, it's seems like a poor design decision.
    By putting the date on the line below the Note title in the Notes Index, the app shows half the number of notes per page AND if you have a large number of notes, it takes twice as long to stroll down.
    I doubt the designer actually uses the app.
