How the heck do I rearrange the order of my songs in playlist in iTunes 11????

this new iTunes 11 seems so carelessly thought out. *** apple?

Wow....I just spent the night sorting 5 hours worth of music in to a very specific order for a project. Upon checking the order, I didn't like where a particular song sat and decided to move it, which I suddenly couldnt (I admit to operator error, random quick key, etc) but could not for the life of me, figure out what i did wrong to suddenly no longer be able to move tracks....So, I came here to the forums, started monkeying around with sorting and now everything is completely out of order and I can't get it back to where I started. As soon as I checked and unchecked "manual" all **** broke lose......does this have to be so hard apple?....I'm basically trying to make a mix tape for gods sake....It was easier with vinyl and a casette player. I'm glad so many of you are getting paid to "expand" on these programs that don't need advanced features....i need to start looking for a different music managemant program....

TS3648 great, but my MBA did not come with an installion disc, only a tiny jump drive that is not recognized by windows; and I can't get the contents of that burned to a DVD either. So how the heck do I get the drivers into Windows 7? My MBA has bootcamp

WHY does the finder insist on rearranging the files in a folder in alphabetical order even when I have selected "none" in the preferences for file organization?

WHY does the finder insist on rearranging the files and/or documents in a folder in alphabetical order even when I have selected "none" in the preferences for file organization? Even after I numbered the documents/folders to keep them in my preferred order, it will still displace them occasionally. This is becoming increasingly frustrating!
Is this a "Pages" issue or "FInder"? The vast majority of documents I use are in Pages, but there are also Numbers, PDFs, jpegs and a few other applications involved. This never happened before I upgraded to Mountain Lion; in Tiger, the documents (mostly Appleworks) and files stayed where I wanted them to be.
I am visually oriented, and prefer to arrange items in a folder in an order that makes them easier for me to access, which is often NOT alphabetical.
Can anyone suggest a solution? Please??
Thank you.
Sara

nbar,
Thank you for your reply.
However, I do not understand what you mean by "user account." I am the only user, and can find no options for "user" or "guest." The parental controls have always been off, as there are no other people who have access to my computer.
Frank,
Thank you for your reply.
All my documents, files and folders are in icon view, Arranged By: none in both view and view options. This arbitrary rearranging does not happen all the time, only when I make a substantial change to one of the documents in the file or folder. I'm not sure what you mean by "column heading."
MichaelLAX,
Thank you for your reply.
I know, to my sorrow, that Appleworks does not work with Mountain Lion. I spent at least three months converting approximately 2,000 Appleworks documents to Pages, Numbers, Bento (for databases) and Touchdraw (for drawings). So this is not the problem; but as I said, I did not have this rearranging problem with Appleworks - the icons stayed where I wanted them to be. I still miss the ease and reliability of Appleworks, darn it!
Frank,
Thank you for your second reply.
I do have the Sort By: in view options as well as in view set to "none." The finder still insists on rearranging, but only when I have made a substantial change to a document in that file or folder.
Any futher thoughts?
xdab,
Thank you for your reply.
"Are you are using icon view, but for some reason the finder moves files around? is that the problem?"
YES!! This is exactly the problem.
"If this operation is successful then erase the original and rename the new one to the name originally chosen by the user."
This seems like a lot of trouble, especially as I often work on several documents at the same time.
"By the way, the finder has a "clean up by" menu that rearranges icons in one of the standard orders, there are shortcuts that produce the same effect, for example <option><cmd>1 sorts them by name. Is it possible that this shortcut was typed by mistake without you noticing?"
I do know about this "clean up by" option, and avoid it like the plague! So I doubt this is the issue, and I infrequently use keyboard shortcuts like this anyway.
Thanks all who replied. None of the suggestions seem to work, however. Any others out there?
Regards,
Sara

How can I change the order in which songs appear in my iTunes Music Library?

How can I change the order in which songs appear in my iTunes Music Library?

Kay,
If you are looking at the entire music library ("Music") you can sort by any of the columns by clicking the column header. If there is a column you can't see, enable it by going to View > View Options.
Within a playlist, you can do the same, and in addition you can click above the column of sequence numbers, which will then allow you to drag tracks up or down to get any order you wish.

HT1947 "Up next" feature makes a mess out of controlling what the heck is played using the iOS remote app.

Tell me if I am wrong, but it seems to me that the "Up next" feature makes a mess out of controlling what the heck is played through the Apple TV using the iOS remote app. The whole thing seem uber-anti-intuitive. I am a long time user (as much and anyone is long time for any of this stuff) of the iOS remote app, and ATV to play music though a stereo system. Up to a couple of weeks ago, I could sit in my chair, start the iPhone remote app, pick a playlist and either start from the beginning, or if the first track didn't grab me at that moment, go ahead and switch to, say, track 6 -- the whole playlist would "sit there" and be available for further browsing. With the new system, if I hit a playlist the songs will go into "Up Next". If as I described in the last sentence, the first song is not getting it for me, and I switch to track 6 , the "Up Next" list is lopped off and only tracks 7 onward will be shown. I can't go back and browse the first 5 tracks (6 actually) -- they're vaporized. The idea of browsing your own music has been killed; I guess this "Up Next" concept is for folks who like maybe a couple of dozen songs that are picked from different places and want to play them in different orders of something -- it just seems like a crummy idea. If under the scenario I described I want to go back and play that first (or second through fifth) song on the original playlist, I have to go out and fish it out of the library somehow and just keep messing around and around. There have been times when I didn't know what the heck was going to come out of the speakers. It seems like the remote user has not been considered in the "dramatically improved" iTunes 11", with the "cleaner user interface" . To me it is "dramatically akin to dog-doo", which, of course is not cleaner than much of anything. If I can't get this working decently, then I'm really thinking of investigating some other type of system like DLNA. Any suggestions?

Same problem here. I have so many problems with this remote app. Is there an iTunes API? I would like to write my own remote app that actually works.

How do you reorder or rearrange the images in a photo album

We set up several photo albums on our new ipad2. Now that we have them, we are trying to rearrange the photos within an album to make the slideshow make more sense.

I was trying to do this too, and I think I have it figured out - it's less intuitive than I thought it would be. If you already have a photo album and you want to rearrange the photos in it:
First, e album needs to have been created on the iPad - if it was created in iTunes and synced, it will not be editable. I got around this by opening the album I wanted to edit, clicking the button in the upper right that lets you send or move pictures, selecting ALL the pictures in the album, choosing "add to.." and creating a new album with them. I could then edit the new album (although the old album also still exists).
Once there is a new album:
1. In the Album view in Photos (where all your albums display) click the "Edit" button in the upper right corner.
2. All the albums you have created on the iPad will display the little x in the upper left which means you can delete them - but if you click on the album you want to edit (not the x), it will open the album, and you can rearrange photos.
3. Click and hold on a photo and it will enlarge slightly, indicating that you can move it around.
If you decide to delete any photos, you can do that too, selecting them and then choosing e delete button in the upper left - however, for some reason you will no longer have the rearrange option after that, and need to exit the album and re-enter edit mode (back to step 1 above).
For reference, I am using an iPad 1 running iOS 5.1.1 .
I hope that helps!

Super mad!!! Security questions are super old! how the heck could I remember the answers??!!

I am super mad!! I have a new computer, got a new ipod and just added $85 to my Itunes account to buy music and I know my Apple ID and Password yet it tells me after I add all the money I need to remember super old security questions from years ago before I can use that money!!!
I cant remember them and now it locked me out of even trying!! If I use my apple ID and my apple ID password why the heck would it want me to answer security questions to purchase music??? Especially since it allowed me to add a lot of money right before!!??

You will have to try to recover the password or contact Apple for help.

IF you still cannot recover it, contact Apple according to the instructions here.

How the heck do you remove the Open Firmware?

Ok so here is the problem. I have a Powerbook G4 (the A1095 model). Now first off ever since I got the thing the second ram slot never worked. But my main problem is that anytime I try to boot form a DVD, use the Firewire, or reset the PRAM and NVRAM I keep getting asked for some password and a big lock button shows up.
Now after many weeks and almost completely giving up I found out that somehow open firmware was used to put in a password. Now I have tried absolutely every password I have ever used, and even some other things and nothing works.
I honestly don't know how this was even set but if it was from me it was obviously an accident. Now the other thing is that I don't have any ADMIN password. I have it set to blank so you just hit enter to login/install things. I wonder if this has anything to do with the open firmware issue???
I have tried as I said searching apple.com and many many many many many other places to find a way to fix this problem but can't find anything even close to a possible solution. I have 3 OSX boot disks, I have even tried using an Umbuntu CD to attempt to use the disk utility on there but nothing works.
To anyone out there I have tried letting the main batter AND the PRAM battery run dead and that still seams to change nothing. So I imagine its a saved file someplace on the main board. Oh and I also removed the Hard drive, and PRAM battery and attempted to boot like that but still nothing works.
I can boot up and use the computer just fine. Surfing the web, installing programs, etc. all work fine. I just can't use the FireWire transfer or Boot from anything but the main HD.
Please someone help me with this. I need to get my personal information off this computer and reinstall OSX on it. Oh and last thing, Im not sure if it has anything to do with it but the rear two fans do not seem to work either. My other G4 Powerbook seemed to have the same problem too though. Replacing the fans on that one fixed the issue.
Anyway I waisted over $500 to get another laptop (one model newer) all because of this problem and I really need to fix this so I don't have to worry about my personal information and I can finally either use it or sell it. This is such a frustrating issue, what can I do???
THANK YOU TO ANYONE WHO CAN HELP OR AT LEAST POINT ME IN THE RIGHT DIRECTION (PLEASE DON'T TELL ME TO GO TO THE APPLE STORE. I HAVE FIXED PROBLEMS THEY COULDN'T BEFORE AND I CAN'T AFFORD THE $300 BILL TO HAVE THEM INSPECT IT, PLUS THIS MODEL IS OUT OF DATE AND THEY WON'T FIX THEM ANYMORE ANYWAY. FYI TO ALL YOU EARLY MODEL G4 USERS!)

Since http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1352 says:
Warning: The Open Firmware Password can be reset and changed by any one of the following (except MacBook Air):
1-By any administrator user, as designated in the Accounts preferences (or in Server Admin).
2-Via physical access to the inside of the computer.
3-When the computer is started up in Mac OS 9.
I would try this suggestion: http://maczealots.com/tutorials/security/

How the heck do you remove the battery cover on a ...

Please don't tell me to push the release button and slide the cover - been trying that all day, and my fingers are sore from doing it. Help!!!!

Hold the phone in one hand but try to avoid covering the top of the back cover with that hand, using "gentle" pressure press the button at the bottom (if you press too hard you'll jam the cover. Using your thumb on your other hand press up (not in as well)against the moulding around the camera and that should do it. If it wont come off when using reasonable force I would take it to a CNSP for repair.Message Edited by megadodo on 17-Aug-2006

How the heck do you move the clip?

wrong forum, reposted in actionscript

Hi ooba,
Actually, moveTo is part of the drawing API. It's used to
move the
drawing cursor to a specific location without drawing. I
don't believe
moveTo has ever been used to move a movie clip (or any UI
object for that
matter). In ActionScript 2.0, you must update the "_x" and
"_y" properties
(as kglad pointed out), and in ActionScript 3.0 they're "x"
and "y"
respectively. Unless you have your own "moveto" method, you
won't be able to
use it to move anything, even movie clips.

Patrick Bay

Leigh...
but cannot do this because I cannot access Mac App Store
If you can't access the App Store from the Apple menu, Dock, or Applications folder installing the Mac OS X 10.6.8 Update Combo will reinstall the App Store for you.
It's ok to do this even you are already running v10.6.8.

How the heck do I change the Firefox 7 UI language?

I've downloaded firefox and firefox-l8n-sr from the repository, but I can't figure out how to actually change the language? I've tried setting the general.useragent.locale to sr_SR and sr, and also tried exporting LANG=sr_SR.UTF-8. The latter worked only if I started FF from the terminal (and both point to /usr/bin/firefox). What's going on?

Same problem here, I've installed firefox and firefox-i18n from pacman
My locales are ok all set in es_MX but firefox shows up in english, I've tried useragent too in about:config, but nothing changes.
Help please

How The Heck Do I Change The Font in Mail?

Been trying & trying... It should be simple, right? I go to Mail / Preferences / Fonts & Colors and just pick what I want. Unfortunately, it won't let me do that. The "Select" boxes turn blue when I click them, but nothing else happens. Any help really appreciated!

I just tried changing the font in two different manners. One is through preferences as you cited and the other is using the icons at the top of the e-mail. In both cases, I was able to adjust the font type, size, and color.

How the heck do I hide the annoying yellow pop up window?
