How do you change the way files are stored in itunes

This may be simple!? I have a lovely playlist system setup but when I go to the actual music files I'm presented with a huge list of artists and within that a album link and then finaly the song file etc.. mixed albums are a nightmare to find! I would really just like a list which looks like my playlist. i.e. album name or whatever I called it and then the songs files in it!.
Is there a setting to get itunes to organise it this way?, Is it a possible to do this to my exsisting files without manually trawling through a million files?.

But why would you want this?
iTunes is responsible for the File Management, let it get on with it, you do your organisation in the iTunes window. And everything you need to do, you can do via the iTunes Window. Want to find the file of a track quickly? Right click on it in the iTunes Window and select Show File: A finder window pops open with the file already selected.

  • How do you change the fields that are displayed on the email preview list after a search?

    How do you modify the fields that are displayed in the mail preview list in the center column of Mac mail after you conduct a search of your email?   All of a sudden the displayed fields changed on me whenever I do a search in mail.   When I have not filtered my email with a search, the default field shown in bold at the top of each message's preview is the "From" field.   However, when I do a search this changes to the "To" field.   Can anyone help?   Thanks, ccarey

  • Change the way seasons are represented in iTunes 12?

    Hello, I recently purchased Friends seasons 1-5 from the iTunes Store. I noticed that they were grouped like this:
    However, I would like to find a way to display them the old (?) way that previous versions of iTunes could do, which looks like this:
    [This image is not my own and was posted by someone who managed to do this]
    As you can see in the second image the seasons have their own tabs within the TV show The Big Bang Theory. I would like to sort my Friends seasons 1-5 in this way. can anybody help me?
    Thanks!

  • How do you change the name of a folder/file on an expansion drive

    How do you change the name of a folder/file on an expansion drive or external hard drive?

    The same way you change it on the internal drive; click on the name and wait a second or two for the field to drop into editing mode, then just type the new name. Or Get Info on the file/folder and change the name there.

  • How do I change the way the item are listed in stacks

    How do I change the way the item are listed in stacks?
    Thanks
    Joel Simkhai

    Hello Joel,
    You have some choices available by clicking and holding on the stack for a second, and there are five sorting orders to choose from.
    I picked up a tip to create an empty folder and place it in the stack, give it a fancy icon and name it 0. Then by choosing the sort order as name, that fancy icon is always at the front.

  • How do you CHANGE the location (away from Drive C) where Firefox stores temporary files?

    I know where Firefox stores temporary files. I want to CHANGE this location away from Drive C to decrease writes to an SSD. Thank you.

    Thank you.
    This function may be one of the few things that IE does better than Firefox. IE lets you change the temporary file location in Tools - Internet options - Settings. Firefox developers should make this task easier and put the instructions in the Help file where they can be easily found.
    Since I use an SSD for Drive C, I have learned that any file(s) that are frequently written to should be moved elsewhere to a conventional HDD.

  • How do you change the pink highlight for the present day in calendar when in week view

    How do you change the pink highlight for the present day in calendar when in week view - OSX Maverick

    the current day was light blue in ical in 10.6 but with plenty of contrast, but I recently made the bigger leap all the way to calendar in 10.9. the choice of color is terrible for reasons such as Spile1962 puts below, but also not having any way to tweak it is terrible. I'm on a bran d new imac and can barely see a difference and frankly, while I appreciate the subtlety, I still forget to look for the darker bar across the top of the current week and day. we should be able to adjust weekend and current day bg colors.
    I went into the app's package contents in hopes that they were using a tiff/png file that I could tweak on my own but couldn't find anything for them. all the icons are there, as are the bg sets for all the little pop-ups and things, but I couldn't even find a reference to a hex color in the plist file.
    send apple feedback. I just did myself, except that Calendar hasn't made the list (yet?), only iCal up to version 4.x, and Messages is still only iChat for feedback, and some others are old as well. apparently after steve died, apple's attention to these details just died with him. it's been that long since those other apps should have been relevant on their site.

  • How do you change the size of pictures?

    Hello,
    I'm a new Mac user. How do you change the size of pictures in iPhoto? Sometimes when sending e-mails, the picture files are extremely large and take a long time to load... Is there any way you can make the picture or file smaller? Like on a PC, you can open the photo in the Paint program and just reduce the size... Is there anything like this for the Mac?
    Thanks!

    Assuming that you're accessing your email package from INSIDE iPhoto, you're given a choice of picture sizes. Personally, I've found "medium" to be a good compromise but you might prefer "small" (iPhoto will tell you the file size).
    If you don't know what I'm talking about, first go iPhoto Preferences > General and select your email client. Then, go to the View menu and select Show in Toolbar > Email.

  • How do you change the shortcut keys for Firefox in Welsh For Mac?

    I'm using Firefox in Welsh on Mac (asking in English to hopefully get more answers), and every time I try to do the shortcut for copy (cmd+C), it hides the window (since Hide in Welsh is Cuddio, the shorcut for that is now Cmd+C). I usually forget this, and proceed with using the shortcut for copy only to anger myself when I realise that I've hidden the window.
    My question is, how do you change the shortcut keys on Firefox so then I can change the Hide shortcut and give Copy the cmd+C shortcut? I'm also using OpenOffice.org in Welsh, and they are using cmd+C for copy and cmd+H for Hide.
    Is there any way that I could do this myself? Its rather annoying for me, and its rather weird to use Cmd+X for Cutting text instead of copying.
    Thanks.

    This could be worth a bug. It shouldn't happen that some shortcut keys get (re)used for other actions and Cmd + C should be considered as one of them.
    You can try to make the change in this file: cy.jar/locale/browser/baseMenuOverlay.dtd
    <pre><nowiki><!ENTITY hideThisAppCmdMac.label "Cuddio &brandShortName;">
    <!ENTITY hideThisAppCmdMac.commandkey "C"></nowiki></pre>
    English language pack: en-GB.jar/locale/browser/baseMenuOverlay.dtd
    <pre><nowiki><!ENTITY hideThisAppCmdMac.label "Hide &brandShortName;">
    <!ENTITY hideThisAppCmdMac.commandkey "H"></nowiki></pre>
    You can find the file cy.jar in the chrome folder in the Firefox application folder.<br />
    The file cy.jar is a ZIP archive, so you need a program that can open such an archive and edit the file baseMenuOverlay.dtd.
    I'm not on a Mac, so can't do any testing in this matter. I just downloaded the Welsh (cy.xpi) language pack for Mac and had a look in it.

  • :-)  How can we change the default file path for Bank file ( dmee ) ?

    Hi All,
    We encounter a problem.
    Electronic bank file ( created after a F110 run ) are created, in an automatic way to the DIR_TEMP directory. ( On the SAP server )
    How can we change the default file path for Bank files ( dmee ) ?
    We'd like to specify another path.
    Thx for your help.
    Erwan

    Hello,
    Make sure that you have created the directory in transaction code AL11 with the help of basis consultants.
    You can link your PC directory to the application server.
    You can maintain the path whether your file needs to get saved in OBPM4 against your DMEE structure example GB_BACS etc.
    If you do not maintain any path in OBPM4, then the file gets saved to temporary directory. If you give the directory path name in OBPM4, then the file gets saved to that directory with numbers 0001, 0002, 0003 etc till it reaches 9999 and reset from the beginning.
    If you give the path as well as file name as ABCD, then the file gets generated to that directory folder with ABCD0001, ABCD0002, ABCD0003 etc. till it reaches ABCD9999 and reset from the beginning.
    Hope this solves your problem.
    Regards,
    Ravi

  • How do you change the default setting for RTF documents from TextEdit to MS Word

    How do you change the default setting for RTF documents from TextEdit to MS Word, I download forms from the Canadian government and they use RTF as a standard, they are supposed to open as MS Word documents (Yes I have Office for MAC 2011) but when download the document it goes to TextEdit which messes up the form format. I can down load it right click and go "open with" MS Word but how can I get the default chnaged to save this step.

    Thanks I knew this, I like Safari as I want to keep everything MAC, but if I use Firefox the documents open in MS Word straight away, I was just curious if there was some setting I could change?
    In Firefox > Preferences, click the Applications tab. If RTF is there, use the pulldown menu in the Action column to pick MS Word. If RTF is not there, there are instructions here for how to add file types.
