How to - correct episode order within the Remote App

Recently I found that when i was using the Remote App to control my iTunes Library, all my TV Show episodes where in alphabetical order instead of episode number order.
after searching on how to solve this and speaking with Apple Support (who couldn't figure out why this was happening) i couldn't find the answer and noticed that many people were having this same issue and were in the same boat as me.
i managed to solve the issue and wanted to share. sorry if i have posted this in the wrong area, first time giving advise on here.
ill run through this using The Walking Dead - Season 1 as an example, but this can obviously be done with any TV Show.
Even with the correct episode numbers, iTunes displays the episode in the correct order -
but in alphabetical order within your library on the remote app -
in iTunes - highlight all episodes and get info
     2. under the Options Tab, change the Media Kind to Music Video and click OK at the bottom
     3. Then head over to where you Music Videos are stored
     4. select each of the episodes, get info
     5. under the Details Tab, you will now have more options to select
     6. scroll to the bottom of the Details Tab, and within the Album Artist section, type in "The Walking Dead"
     7. in the Disc Number section, you want to add which season of how many seasons there are. example - I have 4 seasons of The Walking Dead within my library, and as this is season 1, i will enter 1 of 4
     8. next, in the Track section, you want to add which episode of how may episodes in that season. example - this is episode 1 of 6 in the season
     9. next go into the Options Tab, and change the Media Kind back to TV Show
     10. click OK at the bottom
     11. once you have done this for each episode, head back into your TV Shows
     12. when you now get info for each of the episodes, the Album Artist, Disc Number and Track sections should be at the bottom of the Details Tab (if they were not there before)
     13. if this has been done correctly - all episodes should be correctly listed within the remote app by episode order
Hopefully this has helped somebody out there!

Gotcha - came up with a workaround... since the photos were living in the Photo Library packaged itself, and not simply in another regular folder, I right clicked on the library and said show packaged content, then search for what folders the files lived in, then copied the files out of the packaged library into a folder. Then I was able to give the Photos Library access to the new folder with the files.
With all my files now references, I enabled iCloud Photo Library and am uploading now.
Hopefully my new local Photo Library will be smart enough to optimize local images and shrink to give me more space.
Thanks.

How to find referenced photos within the Photos app

Problem:
Upon instructing Photos to use iCloud Photo Library, the app informed me:
"104 referenced files in your library will not upload to iCloud Photo Library. Select referenced files in your library and choose 'Consolidate' from the File menu to copy the original files into the library."
I do not know which 104 images in my library are referenced, and therefore cannot use "Consolidate" to import the masters into the library.
Can anyone tell me how to find referenced files, within the active library in the Photos app?
I am not asking how to use the "Show Referenced File in Finder" menu command. I need to identify a file as referenced first, hence this post!

How invoke methods in order within the class?

I want to invoke all the methods of a class (except the constructor) in the order in which they appear within the class. I have been able to do this using the following code:
Method [] methodArray = this.getClass().getDeclaredMethods();
for (int i = 1; i < methodArray.length; i++)
methodArray.invoke(this, null);
However, according to the javadoc for class Class, getDeclaredMethod, the elements of the Method array "are not in any particular order." So although the elements of the array happened to be in the order I wanted them when I ran the code, it seems that I will not be able to consistently RELY on the Method array to be set up in this way.
My question is, in view of what I see when I execute the code, is it possible that the javadoc is overly-cautious, and that the Method objects in fact WILL ALWAYS be placed in the array in the order in which they appear in the class, in spite of the javadoc disclaimer?
Maybe there's a better way to do what I'm trying to do. The reason I want the methods to execute in this order is that each method is a test case for a component I am testing, and I want the test cases to run in the order coded, using the Method array, without having to embed a number within each method name so that the array can be sorted into the desired order. In addition, I don't want to have to add a new method call to my class whenever I add a test case to it. Is this asking too much?

The reason the Javadocs are full of disclaimers like this is to highlight the fact that there is no specific contract for a certain behaviour. Because Java is cross-platform, results must be predictable, at all times. So if the spec doesn't require a certain order to be enforced, the docs highlight this. Maybe no implementation takes advantage of this, maybe some do, the fact is as you rightly pointed out, you can't rely on it. So it looks like you are back to hard-coding some state that will let you sort the method order.
Of course, if you are just settingup a test rig to automagically test the code you write, you can take a chance and rely on your implementation on your machine. But don't tell anyone I told you this.

How do I move notes within the Notes App to a different account?

My iPhone4 has iOS 4.2.1, and I didn't realize until today that that came along with an updated Notes app that allows syncing with email accounts. Somehow I managed to unknowingly move about half of my notes to one of my email accounts, which deleted them from my iPhone's memory (although, still visible in the Notes App when synch is enabled). All I want to do is move these notes back to my iPhone so that I can turn off sync (without losing access to them) to hopefully avoid losing/misplacing any more notes, but I can't see any obvious way to do it. Any ideas?
Extra Info: This may have happened last night when I went through and viewed all of these notes so that I could delete old, useless ones. I didn't edit any of them (oldest was last editted July 2010), but that is the only thing I can think of.
Also, today, while exploring Settings, I discovered that the email account they all moved to (an IMAP, if that helps) was set as the default account (in Settings-->Notes-->Default Account drop-down menu). Hoping this was the source of the problem, I changed default to the "On My iPhone" option, went back to the Notes app and viewed all my notes again... Didn't work.
Hope all this helps clarify the problem--really don't want to lose these or future notes.
Thanks!

should I just cry uncle and go to the local genius bar for instructions lol

Photos not showing in the correct time order in the timeline

On a recent holiday I was using both my iPhone and my dSLR to take photos. When I returned from holiday I noticed that the time on my dSLR was wrong. After I had imported the photos into the photo mac app I changed the timestamps to the correct one.
Unfortunately not all of the photos reordered themselves correctly in the timeline. They are no-longer in time order, near time order, but not perfect.
For example the first photo in the timeline currently starts at 12:30, about 5 photos later the timestamp is 11:20.
How do I get my photos to display in the correct time order in the timeline?

I think I've figured it out,
When I put in the time for my SLR I set the time zone to the holiday destination.
Despite having a local sim card and the iPhone correctly geotagging me in the location, not all the timezones on the iPhone photos are correct, some are home time zone, others are holiday timezone.
To fix it I used the adjust time tool to change the time zone, but leave the time the same and the photos magically reorganised into the correct place.
It seems the timezone is as important as time. I hope that helps other people

Change the order within the navigation panel

Hi everybody,
within my navigation panel i have two iview, the detail navigation and an own iView (Web Dynpro within the dynamic navigation of a page). Until now the detail navigation appears at the first position in the navigation panel. How can i change the order within the navigation panel so that my own iView will be shown at the first position?
regards,
Sid

Hi Raji,
iviews can be ordered alphabetical. You can set this function in Systemadministration -> Service-Konfiguration -> Applications -> com.sap.portal.ivs.iviewservice -> iViewsSrv. Then you can set this value to ture (sorting true).
You can also change the sort-priority value in the property of each iview to 0..n.
I hope this will help you.
regards,
Sid

How do I use the remote app on a dual band network?

There are 2 routers in my home. One is dual band (SSID: NETGEAR49-5G). This one is being used as a 5GHz access point while the other (SSID: NETGEAR49) is being used as a 2.4GHz extender. However I can't use the Remote app to control my iTunes library, regardless of which router I connect to. I can't even use a passcode to add my library because I just keep getting an error saying I entered the wrong code. Strangely everything's fine if I turn off the 2.4GHz router, but I don't want to have to keep doing that. Is there any way I can configure the two routers so I can use the Remote app and other network-based services??

Hi,
I can tell you how it works on my iPhone.
I click the Messages icon to open it.
I click the box with pencil icon top right for New Message
I start to type the name of the person I want to contact in the "To" spot.
(Alternatively use the Blue + icon and select direct from Contacts list)
I select the full name of Contact from any list if there are multiples.
Once the person and their Contact option is selected I click on the text field at the bottom of screen
Using the "keyboard" I type the Message and then the Send button.

How to not have songs duplicates in app remote? I have playlists for my iphone and playlists for my pc. All songs of my iphone are also on my mac. When i use the remote app, it plays everything in double.

Dear all,
I am using itunes to control all my music and i like to use my iphone, or my ipad to control my music with the remote app.
But i have a problem: all the music i have in my iphone count as double play.
To explain everything since the beginning, i personally don't like and don't trust at all the music sync capability of itunes.
So i have my music on my pc, and i load every type of music as a single playlist (ex a Pop-Rock folder, with all artists folders and so on, makes me a Pop-Rock playlist).
For my iphone, i created a iphone music folder, with the same classification.
It means that i don't have all my Pop-Rock music, only a selection. But of course the selected music appears also in my complete music collection.
So in itunes i created a folder playlist named iphone music, with inside one playlist by type of music (exemple : Pop-Rock, which contains some files of my main Pop-Rock collection).
So i do have duplicates in my hard drive. But when i selected the playlists to be shared on home sharing in itunes, i selected only the main playlists, not my iphone playlists! But still, when i look for ACDC artist for example, i should see only what i have on my pc, not what i have also on my iphone.
The result is if i play an album for example Back In Black (i have it full on my hard drive, and full on my iphone too), then every song is displayed in remote app in double, and also played in double:
Here is how it is displayed:
Song 1
Song 1
Song 2
Song 2
So the remote app plays Song 1 one time, then Song 1 (the second Song 1) one time and continues like this to Song 2 etc...
I guess that if i put my selection of songs on my ipad, i will then have everything in triple....
It is very annoying. Is there a way for me to change that? Or for an update to be made (based on ID3 Tag) to not play everything twice or more? It would have an ID3 Tag No Double toggle button.
I don't want to select from my main music to send elements to my iphone as doing that i lost a lot of music multiple times. This way of doing is not safe at all (at least for me).
What is possible to do? Is there room for improvement here (i believe so). Is there a way for me to avoir this very annoying effect?
I would really like to put my music to my iPad2 also, but after i'll have triple play....
Thank you for your help.

Nobody knows? Not even administrators?
Please it would be really nice to have help on that to take all the benefit of the remote app.
Thank you very much in advance.

How to block an order if the price is too low?

Hello,
My problem is :
How to block an order if the price is too low?
I created a new type of condition ZMIN and an access by material.
When the net price is below the minimum price the system must position the order on incomplete document for error of price.
Thank you in advance.
Frédéric Blaise
e-Kenz S.A.

Hello,
you can enter a lower limit in the condition record:
Lower limit of the condition rate/amount
Indicates whether, during document processing, the system checks if manual changes fall short of the lower limit allowed for the corresponding condition record.
Use
When you maintain the scales in a condition record, the system checks whether the scale value falls below the lower limit.
Or you can use the flag 'conditon update'.
Condition update
Controls whether limit values are relevant for pricing.
E.g.: you can make the use of a particular condition record in the document dependent on a specified total value.
This total value can be specified in the condition record.
I hope that the information are helpful.
With best regards

My iMac is connected to a Brother printer. I have Snow Leopard 10.7.3 As of yesterday, when I try to print a PDF it prints as a blank black page. Does anyone know how to correct this so that the PDF will print as I see it on screen?

My iMac is connected to a Brother printer. I have Snow Leopard 10.7.3 As of yesterday, when I try to print a PDF it prints as a blank black page. Does anyone know how to correct this so that the PDF will print as I see it on screen?

If you are running Mac OS X 10.7.3 then you have Lion installed, not Snow Leopard. It's probably not important to this discussion, but something you should be aware of.
What application are you printing the PDF files from? Have you tried opening the PDF file using the Preview application that can be found in the Applications folder? Does the issue still occur? Have you tried other PDF files from a different source?
Another poster in the following discussion thread reported that this method resolved their black blank PDF issue when viewing (and presumably printing) PDF files from Safari.

This solved my question by mcbuffy on Apr 20, 2012 11:29 AM
There's a solution if you want to see the PDF inside Safari's window :
Go to the folder : Your Hard Drive / Library / Internet Plug-ins.
If you see a file with PDF in its name drag it to the trash.
Quit and restart Safari to test with a PDF.
If it works you can empty the trash.

I think this is probably a sign that your network could be better than it is.
Intermittent problems are often a result of interference. Interference can be caused by other networks in the neighbourhood or from household electrical items.
You can download and install iStumbler (NetStumbler for windows users) to help you see which channels are used by neighbouring networks so that you can avoid them, but iStumbler will not see household items.
Refer to your router manual for instructions on changing your wifi channel or adjusting your multicast rate.
There are other types of problems that can affect networks, but this is by far the most common, hence worth mentioning first.

How can I set the Remote app to work if I have lost my apple remote?

I lost my remote to my Apple TV and I can't go into town to get another at the moment because there was a lot of snow and ice here. So, I'm wondering how I can set my iPhone 5 up as a remote using the remote app without the normal remote. I know the remote app used to auto-connect to the Apple TV, but since recent updates, you have to set it up as a remote on the actual Apple TV itself. Is there a way to get around this? Thanks in advance!

Welcome to the Apple Community Dylan.
There is no way to set up home sharing on the Apple TV without the original remote from Apple, you will need to purchase a new remote from the Apple Store.
If you already have homesharing set up on the Apple TV, you merely need to set it up in the remote app settings.
