How do I over-ride the DETERMING GAPLESS PLAYBACK process

I am so frustrated! Everytime I put music on my 30G iPod, iTunes begins this lengthy process of processing EVERY SONG in my library and determining it's gapless playback. Is there a way that I can over-ride this painstaking process? I have gone to preferences and dealt with the crossfade options, but nothing will stop it. It makes my computer run terribly slow and when I opt to quit iTunes it tells me "your iPod is updating, if you quit now the updates will not be saved" and the process will start all over.
Desperate.

If you just let it finish, it won't do it again. Depending on the size of your library, it may take a few hours, or longer.

"Is there a software avaliable or what else can I do?"
There is no method by which an MBP can have the regional code reset. There are external players that do not utilize the regional coding, and allow all optical media to be used. Google is your friend.

How can I over ride the combination code to access the volume limit?

I want to increase my volume limit but there is a combination lock that shows up and I dont know what the code is! Is there some way I can over ride this and increase my volume limit? It's hard to hear any music.

The only way to bypass the volume limit passcode is to restore the device to factory settings in iTunes.

How can I over-ride the low ink warning on a 4630

I want to continue printing with my black ink cartridge even though the warning appears about print quality. When I press "OK" nothing happens, the warning remains displayed and the printer will not print.

Hi,
When the ink is too low on the placed cartridge you cannot print till replacing it.
You may use Reserve Mode by completely removing the depleted ink artridge from the device, then you may print using the installed cartridge.
Say thanks by clicking the Kudos thumb up in the post.

Can I over-ride the default setting in Organizer to allow sorting photos by filename ?

I am converting slides from the 1970's and 80's to digital files and using PSE 8 to Organize them but it is important to me that they stay in the order of the file name I give them and NOT "Date: newest first or last" because it would seem that PSE, in the absence of metafile information, uses the date and time I uploaded the file to the Organizer as the "Date:". ACDSee has a much more sensible arrangement in giving me full control of how my photos are sorted. I am being driven to using ACDSee as the organizer and PSE as the photo editor, a not very convenient arrangement. So my question is, "Can I over-ride the default setting in Organizer to allow sorting photos by filename ?"

The type of file system that you're trying to set up, is actually done better by creating you own file heirarchy in Windows, and then viewing by import batch. For example; you might create a top level folder "My Slide Scans", then perhaps, "My son John". So, the scans of john all go in the same folder, you import the folder in one batch, and you're where you want to be.
That said, PSE will fight you at every turn to do this, since with the scanner hooked up with PSE, PSE is going to want to store your photos in "scanned photos" and import them as you scan them.
I woud suggest this. After the scan and import, use PSE to move the photos to their final destination folder, say " Hawaii 1994", and create a tag of the same name". Then when you're done scanning photos of this event, use the tag to view all the scans at once. Then, delete all the photos from the organizer. (Yeah, sounds radical I know). Take heart! All you've gotta do then is to reimport the whole folder. All the same name photos will be in one import batch. And with all the photos of any given topic in one folder, you'll be able to also use Windows Explorer in any number of modes to view the photos outside PSE.
Keep in mind you can rename batchs of photos by selecting them, or by import batch or even tag, then "Ctrl. > Shift > N" will bring up the name change dialog box.
This technique is quite contensious, but, it makes a whole lot more sense than storing all your photos in the "My Photos" folder on the "C:/" drive where any viral or malware hiccup might cause the necessity of a reformat, which could cause the loss of years of work.
If a name search is a priority, that would be "Ctrl ."Shift" > "K" then type in whatever your heart desires.
Caution: Before attempting a delete/ reimport manuver, Alway, always, write the tag and file info to the photo. "File" >"Write Tag and Properties Info to File".
I always am quite adamantine about suggesting that you do NOT use the same physical HDD that contains Windows to store your photos, that's just asking for trouble. HDDs are quite cheap nowadays, and they're worth every penny in piece of mind. Plus to use a storage ("Volume") drive, you have to create your own file heirarchy anyway, so that leads right back to the beginning of this discussion.

I wish to use my present e-mail provider,how do I over-ride adobe mail

Hi,
Which operating system are you running on?
If it is a Windows system you need to have an email client running like Outlook (32bit version) or Windows Live Mail. Either of those should be able to link to your current e-mail service. The alternative is to use the Adobe e-mail client but there are problems when trying to link it to your email service.

How do I over-ride Firefox 4's refusal to allow installation of Torbutton v1.3.2-alpha?

The developer at the Tor Project has been testing Torbutton v1.3.2-alpha (unstable). Although not fully stable, it's being released for users to test. Informations is at https://blog.torproject.org/category/tags/firefox and https://www.torproject.org/torbutton/ . When I tried to install this alpha release from the 2nd link's page (look for "Install alhpa" on the page), Firefox 4 refused to allow completion of the installation. What I need to know, is how do I over-ride that refusal, to achieve installation?

Thanks for the replies. Yes, they were both helpful and informative. However, the bottom line is that in order to work around the compatibility problem, I'd need to do some re-programming of Firefox, with subsequent risk of "malfunctions or crashes". It's simpler and safer, to just abandon use of the version 4 as being fundamentally defective, uninstall it, and return to use of v3.6.3 which worked correctly most of the time. I appreciate your assistance!

Over ride the equal method in java

Hi ,
I have doubt about on over ride the equal ? What is the main purpose of over ride the equal method ?
If equal method is override then why hash code method can be over ride?
sorry , If i am not post the right place .

You have to override the equals method when your class has a notion of logical equality, because in that case you need more that the default one (the default one return true only if the reference of the compared Object is the same).
A good exemple is Date, where we consider that is two Dates have the same getTime() they are equals.

I have just owned a macbook pro and trying to learn things since i have all along used windows laptop. My first question is : when there are two files i am working together, one above the other on screen, how you switch over between the two with key ?

Hi...
Mac OS X keyboard shortcuts
Control-F4
Move focus to the active (or next) window
Shift-Control-F4
Move focus to the previously active window
By the way... since you are new to Mac, click a clear space on your Desktop. You should see "Finder" top left corner of the screen in the menu bar.
Click Help then click Help Center
As an example type in keyboard shortcuts
You can use the Help menu for almost any application on your Mac.

Is there any way to turn off the "Determining Gapless Playback"

Every time I open Itunes the "Determining Gapless Playback routines starts. I always let this finish and after a while it appears to stop and I only have the Apple logo at the top of Itunes. However, if I close Itunes and restart it the "deteriminig Gapless Playback" routine starts all over again. Isn't there any way to turn off this annoying new feature....

You could try a reboot: Press and hold BOTH the power and home buttons at the SAME time for at least 10 seconds (ignore the red slider to shut down) until the Apple Logo appears, then let go of both buttons and your iPad should restart. If that doesn't get rid of the volume control box on your screen, it's time to make an appointment with the Genius Bar at your Apple Store, and they can send your iPad off for service.

ITunes crashing - Determing gapless playback information

I am having a big problem with itunes, since my main drive crash with all my music, i had was to trash my library and restart from what every music I can find on my other drives.
Problems problems....
1. Adding music itunes will crash
2. Most time it will crash while trying to determing gapless playback information
3. and just at startup it will crash
I have repaired permissions and all the fancy stuff but still problem, now apple has updated to 8 and the problem was never fixed any ideas anyone????

Hi,
Try deleting the iTunes preference file. /Users/YourName/Library/Preferences. Open the Preferences folder, locate this file: com.apple.iTunes.plist drag that file to the Trash, empty the Trash and reboot. You will have to reset your iTunes preferences, but this is the only way to find out if the file is corrupted and considering you are experiencing so many crashes... that might be the culprit.

Determing Gapless Playback Crash

I recently reformatted my hard drive, reinstalled iTunes and loaded all my music from my external HD. iTunes added all the music but freezes when it gets to certain songs while "determing gapless playback." I tried deleting the song that was causing it to freeze but that only helped until it got through about 10 songs and then got stuck again. When it freezes, I can't do anything with iTunes and have to shut it down in the task manager. I tried letting it run it's course but nothing changed after a couple hours. I can use iTunes if I get to the little "x" at the top quick enough, but that's a pain. What do I do?

I'm going to echo the complaint and add the gory details of my efforts to this thread. Then I'm going to post feedback to Apple -- iTunes(7.6.0.29) + Vista renders both software and hardware UNUSABLE.
Objective: transfer library from old machine (SRC) to new laptop (TGT) with music folder on USB hard drive
SRC: 1.8GHz P3 desktop, Windows 2000 Pro SP4, 384MB memory, 40GB disk, iTunes 7.3.2.6
TGT: 2.0Ghz P4 laptop, Vista Ultimate, 4GB memory, 100GB SATA 7,200rpm disk, 100GB 2.5" IDE 5,400rpm USB disk, iTunes 7.6.0.29
iTunes 2771 song library -- 12 purchased from Apple (under 2 different accounts), remainder ALL created as LAME 3.96 VBR -V2 (approx 192 kbps) using dBpoweramp Music Converter and manually added to iTunes music folder on SRC (before transfer)
Conversion Process
-- Export library on SRC
-- Modify Library.xml, change all "\C:\Tunes" to "\F:\Tunes" (letter assigned to USB drive determined in advance)
-- Copy music folder from SRC (C:\Tunes\.) to USB drive (\Tunes)
-- Install iTunes on TGT
-- Set iTunes options: Music Folder = F:\Tunes; NO keep folders organized; NO copy to folder when adding; NO auto-sync when iPod connected
-- Authorize TGT computer (2 accounts) on Apple Store
-- Connect iPod to TGT and "Transfer Purchases"
-- Connect USB drive to TGT
-- Import Library.xml file
-- "Determine Gapless Playback Information" (DGPI) begins after import completes, process FAILS and LOCKS iTunes
-- USB drive shows 2 seconds of activity every 60 seconds, indefinitely, but iTunes shows no sign of progress or activity
-- iTunes must be terminated via task manager
-- DGPI repeatedly failed on song from Aerosmith's Greatest album (418 of 2581)
-- Terminate iTunes, disconnect USB drive, restart iTunes
-- Deleted problematic song, reconnect USB drive
-- DGPI fails on another song from same Aerosmith album (385 of 2549)
-- Terminate iTunes, disconnect USB drive, restart iTunes, delete second problematic song, reconnect USB drive
-- DGPI fails on THIRD song from SAME Aerosmith album
-- Terminate iTunes, restart and delete all remaining songs from Aerosmith album
-- Reconnect USB drive, DGPI fails on song from Beatles Abbey Road (673 of 2531)
-- ** all songs which caused DGPI to fail are LAME 3.96 -V2 VBR (44.1 KHz, 16 bit, 2 channel) created by dBpoweramp
