How to organize podcasts?

Hello,
It is useful to me to organize and re-organize my music in iTunes by genre, artist, length etc. but this seems to be impossible in the Podcast category. In my iTunes the Podcasts are automatically sorted in alphabetical order of Podcast name, however, the program thinks that they are sorted by "Release Date" as that is the category at the top of the page that is highlighted (in the same way that Genre would be highlighted in the music part of iTunes). What is going on?
I ask because I hope to sort podcasts into Genres or Groupings i.e. Music, News, etc.
Thanks!!

I think that in order to do that, you're going to have to create some playlists.

How to organize podcast channels into folders?

I'm brand-new to iTunes so maybe I'm just not figuring it out: I have lots of podcasts and it would be helpful to be able to organize them by general topic area (Project Management, Health Care, Cooking, etc.) How can this be done? Creating a playlist doesn't work because it lists all of the individual shows, all together. Any help would be appreciated.

You should be able to do it with smart playlists rather than playlists. Set up the smart playlist to match ANY of the rules you list. Then set up rules that match on Artist or Album. It's not exactly what you're trying to do, and it definitely takes a little work, but it helps me get organized. I have a handful of podcasts that are my favorites, so I keep those in a smart playlist. But I'm always trying new ones, so I also use a Recently Added Podcasts playlist that includes everything of Genre = Podcast.

How to organize the import statements in FXML Files?

Hello,
I'm a user of NetBeans IDE and it can organize the import statements in *.java files. Now, I'm using JavaFX and editing the *.fxml files as well. I want to know how to organize the import statements in *.fxml files?
Thanks a lot.

You should use Scene Builder, it will make all these import statements for you.
Moreover, it will greatly simplify the writing of your FXML files, since you only have to Drag&Drop JavaFX objects on the scene. Then, it automatically generates FXML files.

In iTunes 11.1 (I26) , I cannot find how to delete podcast listings showing undownloaded podcasts. Delete does not work. Option Delete does not work. Dragging to the trash does not work. Under Edit, Delete is greyed out. Mac OS 10.6.8

in iTunes 11.1 (I26) , I cannot find how to delete podcast listings showing undownloaded podcasts. Delete does not work. Option Delete does not work. Dragging to the trash does not work. Under Edit, Delete is greyed out. Mac OS 10.6.8.
Tom at the Genius Bar told me that Option Delete would work. It does not.
I had to upgrade to iTunes 11.1.(I26) because it is required with OS7 on my iPod Touch (5th Gen). I have tried shutting down iTunes, then shutting down the entire system. This is the first in many visits that the Genius Bar gave me a solution that did not work.
This is a big awkward computer locked to my desk. I would rather not unlock it and then carry it through a shopping center to the Genius Bar if i can avoid oit.
When I installed iTunes 11.1, I discovered that Ihad to resubscribe to virtually all of the podcasts that I had previously been subscribed to. That was a surprise.

Hello Achates:
I did not read the rather long post. If you wish to reinstall OS X 10.4, use your software install DVD. Backup is essential. To minimize your risk, I would use an archive and install:
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=107120
In that way, you will have a fresh copy of OS X and your current settings will be preserved.
Incidentally, I do not agree that the printer problem is best solved by reinstalling OS X. I have had HP printers for sometime and, on one occasion, had difficulty after an upgrade. HP technical support walked me through uninstalling all traces of the HP driver and then reinstalling.

How to organize apps into folders and make them stick in iphone 3gs?

Four hours down the drain! Darn, I decided to finally learn how to organize my apps into folders and do it right. Instead I spent four hours and must have got it wrong.
I opened iTunes on my MacBook with my iPhone attached. Then clicked on the iPhone in the left side list of my iTunes. Then clicked on apps which brought up a nice page with all my iPhone apps listed in one window on the left and all the pages of the apps that are on my iPhone in the window on the right. So far this is what I think the User Manual and Help said to do.
At that point I created new folders by dragging one app over another. For example, I would find a photography app and drag it onto another photography app. That automatically created a folder with the name photography. Just what I wanted. I then looked for more photography apps and dragged them to the folder.
This is not too easy because I had eight pages of apps. At first, I would grab an app on a page and drag it to where I knew the corresponding folder would be and put it into the folder.
Later I found another way was to use the list of my apps on the right to put them in apps.
In the end, from what appeared on the screen, it seemed to me that most of my apps were in folders and the folders were either on page one, two, or three. At that point I thought that I should sync the MacBook with the iPhone, I believe, and did so.
When the sync was finished I took the iPhone off the computer and looked at it. NONE of the folders I created, nor the organization into folders of the apps were on my iPhone!
Obviously, I did something wrong since the same mess was on the iPhone as before, with apps all over the place and impossible to locate without taking too much time. This after four hours of work looking at a 13 in. laptop screen!
What I hope is that someone smarter than me will look at what I did and tell me where I went wrong.
I want the apps on the iPhone to be organized into logical folders so it is easier to find them. Something along the lines of a good database, you know?
Thank you for reading to the end of this question,

OK, I spent another afternoon doing the job started yesterday. Last night (could not sleep, so might as well think) I got to thinking that I really must have missed a step or something because all my work was done on the Mac and I did not recall any time when I transferred the new setup with folders to the iPhone.
Sure enough, when I tried it today I did find that missing step. When looking at the Home Page of the iPhone or any page being worked on, in the lower right hand corner two buttons say
SYNC APPLY
I do not recall using the APPLY button on the first day trying this, but I used it this time.
After making changes, I hit APPLY and the computer began to sync with the iPhone.
This time, although there is nothing telling the user what is going on, the sync actually makes the iPhone pages to look exactly like the pages created on the Mac.
Too bad the instructions and help did not say to do things in this way, which is the only correct way, as far as I can tell.
I have about 155 apps on the iPhone, making the job extra lengthy. However, I never could do it on the iPhone’s tiny screen, even though it is possible, so this was good - working on the larger screen of the MacBook.
There are also some (undocumented?) tricks in using the MacBook for this task. For example, it is possible to create a folder and then, using the list of all apps on the iPhone that is on the left side of screen, open the folder, click on the check box next to any app you want to put in the folder and it will jump right in!
If the check box already has a check mark, just click the box to remove it, click again to put the check mark in the box and voila the app takes off for the folder. This also works to just put apps onto a certain page, if you want to do that, but dragging apps around sometimes works better.
I hope it will not be necessary to do this again because of the time involved, and he need for quite a bit of thinking on how to move the apps and folders around to get everything just where you want it on the iPhone. The work reminded me of an old kids game that has a small square case with, I guess eleven movable numbers, that are all mixed up, and one space that is not filled with a number. You can move the little squares with the numbers around inside the case to try to line the numbers up in order from 1-11 and do it faster than anybody else.
Well, unfortunately lining up all my apps was like that because each page of the iPhone only holds 16 folders or apps and each folder is limited to 12 apps. Starting with 155 apps it takes too much mouse maneuvering to make the process easy.
Finally, the automatic folder names are very broad, as in MUSIC, LIFESTYLE, SPORTS and such, so I often just deleted the given categories and put my in my own. Also, some day I may break down the folders more because twelve apps in one folder means the apps are still pretty much out of view.
I wrote this in case anyone else finds it and has the same irksome product. If I just reinvented the wheel, please do not tell me now.

Mine, her's & ours – how to organize photos in a multi-Mac family?

Hi folks,
from a quick search at Apple discussions I realize that my following problem is a very common, but essentially an unsolved one. So rather than a final solution, I'm looking for ideas and discussion on how to organize photos in a family setting…
The problem started when my wife got her own MacBook a few weeks ago, and when we started having two iPhoto libraries instead of one. We do have some photos that can be definitely labeled as 'mine' or 'hers'. But how should we organize family photos? What if one of us wanted to just grab their MacBook and show off the kids' pictures to a friend?
Duplicating photos involves a lot of manual extra work, and labels and keywords will inevitably run out of sync. If we keep photos on a network drive we can't just take them away from home. It seems like the problem is not just related to iPhoto, but to digital photography in general. Or is there another photo organizer – Aperture? Lightroom? Whatever else? – that serves families well?
If you've faced this problem, I'd like to hear how you approached it.
cheers
Hendrik

You could put an external HD connected to the TC. Then each time one of you take new photos upload them to a folder on your Desktop. Name the folder with the date of the shoot (this assumes that each of your delete the memory card in the camera after each shoot and upload) and a brief description like: 01/16/10-Aidan's 4th Bday Party. You can also rename the photos in the folder. I use the international date and a brief description: 2010-01-16-Aidans 4th-001.JPG, -002.JPG, etc. You an use a file renaming application likeRenamer4Mac orName Mangler to do the job.
Next import the folder into your iPhoto. This will create an Event with the same name as the folder. Then drag the folder to the hard drive on the Time Capsule. Then each of you can view the folders on the external HD and import those folders which you don't have - or not.
This will also act as a backup of the original files. I'm not sure what format the external HD needs to be to work in this manner but it shouldn't matter as long as you're only storing files. You can't run a iPhoto library from it if it isn't formatted OS X Extended (journaled). Also running a library wirelessly is fraught with problems like dropouts which can damage the database file.
That way you will have 3 backup copies of your photos - actually 2 as the two libraries on the TC really only count as one since they are on the same drive.

How to organize Mail folders?

Hello,
I am having a heck of a time trying to figure out how to do something in Mac Mail (I'm on Mountain Lion with a MacBook Pro with Retina Display).
In the past (pre-Mountain Lion), I had individual folders for each of my mail accounts. For example, I had a folder for Comcast mail, Gmail, Hotmail, iCloud, and Yahoo. In the left-hand column of the main Mail window, it was nicely organized so that there was the "main" folder for a particular email service, and then underneath that folder there would be other folders such as Sent, Trash, etc.
However, the way it appears now is that there is one single "Inbox", and underneath that Inbox are MORE Inboxes, with each one being a different mail service. For example, under my Inbox, the next thing down is "POP Account", then "GMail", then iCloud". But they ALL fall under the main heading of "Inbox".
I really don't care for it to be set up this way. I much prefer having a dedicated Inbox for each mail service, and then the various folders that relate only to that service underneath.
I hope I'm describing this correctly. For years, it was set up the way that I liked it. I'm not sure when it self-changed to the way it is now, but I really don't care for it. I've gone through all of the menus and I can not figure out how to get it back to the way it was.
Any assistance would be greatly appreciated. Thank you!

The “On My Mac” folder has never existed as such, neither in Mail 1.x nor in Mail 2.x. Mail uses that term to differentiate custom mailboxes stored locally on your computer from mailboxes stored on the server of IMAP accounts.
In Mail 1.x such mailboxes appeared in the mailbox list grouped under an “On My Mac” icon, whether that’s how you wanted them to appear or not. In Mail 2.x, this changed to offer greater flexibility in how the user wants his/her custom mailboxes to be organized — see Mail Help’s “My mailbox organization was lost after upgrading Mac OS X” article. This allows the user to have multiple top-level “On My Mac” hierarchies, or name the group differently, or have custom mailboxes appear directly at the top level of the mailbox list for greater convenience, etc.
To answer your question, no, you aren’t stuck with how Mail organizes custom mailboxes, but as you have found out, Mail has some bugs & glitches when it comes to reorganizing mailboxes, and you should make a back up of at least your ~/Library/Mail/ folder before start making changes, just in case.
I sometimes reorganize my own custom mailboxes by renaming and/or moving them, and have never experienced any issues myself, so you should certainly be able to do things like that. There are only two things I recommend not doing in Mail when reorganizing mailboxes:
1. Even though Mail allows it, don’t use a folder as both a mailbox (i.e. to store messages of its own) and as a parent folder for other folders.
2. Never, ever, rename a folder just to change its capitalization. If you want to change from uppercase to lowercase or vice versa, rename the folder to something different first.
A more thorough discussion of these issues, for those who might be interested, can be found in the following thread, for example:

How to organize documents in KM?

Hi all,
Can somebody comment on as how to organize the documents in KM.Is there any standard guideline to follow while creating folders and sub folders in KM so that while viewing a user will get a classified structure of documents which he/she can browse easily.
thanx and regards,
anuradha

HI
Repositories in KM can be organized on the basis of functional requirements and actually real time way of keeping the doccuments in folders structure there is no such hard and fast rule .to make user view a classified doccuments you can use KM Navigation Iview as well KM Doccument iviews for specific doccuments. Each KM Iview available in PCD has a specific purpose which need to be studied throughly before implementing and when you create one it specifically states you the purpose of the iview and always remember the path property in any KM iview is important for doccuments to be displayed and navigated in the repository.
Hope this helps u

How to Organize the Website With Different Themes?

This is a question about HOW TO ORGANIZE MY WEBSITE. This requires understanding of what PAGES means and what SITES means, and I am not too sure.
Please clarify for me what iWeb means by a website. Specifically, I want to make a website which has several different mutually exclusive themes but which are all accessible from each page:
Some pages dedicated to my husband, who passed away in 2000.
Some pages for individual friends.
Some pages for a group of about 10 people. I want a page for each person in the group.
Would those all be considered a different website? A different site? Or are they all in ONE website with my one URL, but just all interconnected?
— Lorna in Southern California

Lorna,
James' link didn't work because it is just an example
Your URL will depend on where you upload your
site.
It sounds to me like you really want three separate
sites. Why not do this - create FOUR sites. Make the
TOP site just one page, and make text links to each
of the top pages of the three other sites on that
page. You could even add photos or graphics to
represent each site and link to them.
Here's an example: http://web.mac.com/varkgirl is my
main .mac url and I have made my "top" site an index
site with links to all other sites I have made.
If you do this, visitors to yourdomain.com will reach
this "table of contents" page which can take them to
yourdomain.com/family or yourdomain.com/hobbies, etc
etc. The your three separate sites can include all of
their pages in the nav bar so when someone visits
Site A or Site B they will see the links available to
them.
PS - it might be a good idea to put a text link or
something at the bottom of each page in all sites to
send visitors back to the main page (index page).
Something like, "Click here to go back to Lorna's
main page"
Well, now this certainly would be another way of doing it! So my main URL would be the first Welcome — Table of Contents page, probably configured with photos and a phrase underneath? And then a viewer clicks onto Picture 1
and gets transported to the top page of whatever that Picture 1 represents? And on that page 1, there are other sub-pages to click onto? So, Picture 1 might be "Hey, lookit the swim team!", and when people click onto that picture, a page comes up with about 5 hot links that take the viewer further down the road to (1) A group picture of the team with short bios under each photo, and then (2) a news report of the last swim meet that they won in Orlando, Florida, and then (3) an interview of the swim coach?
Is that what you mean? Am I on the right track and reading you correctly?
And at the bottom of each page (or somewhere noticeable), I woud put a "Go back to the Home Page" button?
And within the swim team pages, at the top of the page there is a navigation bar that shows all the other pages in that site???
Now, James suggested something different. (James Tseng) James said to make only ONE Mother Site and make separate Child Pages all equally sheltered under the Mother Site, but not all necessarily having links to all the other pages in the site.
This is actually a good situation for me: to have two seemingly equally viable, legitimate, workable solutions to the issue of organizing my themes and pages within the website. Thank you. Hope the weather in Florida stays Flat Water.

How to organize the content of MANIFEST.MF

Most of the jar files contain a file named META-INF/MANIFEST.MF, and it provides some information about the class in the jar files, but when I execute the code below, I can't output all of the jar file name in the eclipse project's classpath.
import java.net.URL;
import java.util.Enumeration;
public class TestClassLoader {
public static void main(String args[]) throws Exception {
Enumeration<URL> en = TestClassLoader.class.getClassLoader().getResources("META-INF");
while (en.hasMoreElements()) {
URL metaInf = en.nextElement();
System.out.println(metaInf.toExternalForm());
So I want to know how to organize the content of MANIFEST.MF file to output the file name

getResources doesn't do what you apparently think it does. The resource path still has to be an exact match, but getResources allows for the possibility that the same resource path may occur multiple times on the class path.
You could use it to access all the MANFEST.MF files on the classpath but you'd need to full resource path "META-INF/MANIFEST.MF"
The code you've written doesn't access the contents of the manifests, of course. To access the contents of manifests use java.util.jar.Manifest objects.

How to organize Data Objects and other Objects in SWCV

Hi,
I am looking for Best Practices on how to organize data objects in SWCV as well as other objects such as a Distribution Rules.
We are planning to develop three occasionally connected applications with NW Mobile 7.1 this year and maybe additional one the following year. We will create multiple Standard Data Objects (e.g. Plant, Company Code, Reservations, ...) which are shared in the first set of transactions and in the future transactions.
I have heard before to separate out Standard Data Objects from Distribution Models and have two different SWCV.
Should I have a) one SWCV for all current and future Standard Data Objects and one for the distribution rtules or b) should I separate out common data objects into one SWCV, and all transaction-specific data object each into separate SWCV?
Just wondering if there are any best practices available for this so that I won't run into problems in the future when we want to add more transactions/data objects?
Any advise is appreciated.
Thanks,
W. Berger

Hi Siva,
Thanks for quick reply!!
I have created say SWCV1 for Dataobjects.
Now i want to create seperate SWCV2 for defining distribution model.
How i should proceed..I cannot see the uses option while creating new SWCV2 ( Only option i see is 'backward compatibility checkbox : uses NW04/NW04s MI Application')
where to check the following which you have mentioned?
SWCV2 was created and inherited SWCV1 in uses tab of SWCV2.
Thanks in advance!!

How to organize in iPhoto 6???

I need help organizing my pictures in iPhoto 6... When I need to send a picture or just browse in my directory of pictures I have to take a guess in which folder the picture i'm looking for is in. For example I have a "Modified" and "Originals" folder, then I have to open another folder for the year like "2005" or "2006" and after that there is the major problem : I have folder names like "Roll 1", "Roll 16", "Roll 32".... it takes too long to find a picture..
Can somebody tell me tips and tricks on how to organize my pics so that I can find them easily while browsing my pictures folder???
Thanks,
cotjoey

Hi cotjoey,
First, you can always select the photo/photos within iPhoto and File>export them to the desktop, where you can then navigate to the desktop or folder on the desktop to upload or send the photos.
Second, you can do some renaming of rolls within iPhoto.
iPhoto 6 Library folder in the Finder
As you can see the structure is now related to rolls. Rolls are created for each folder you import and each import session from a camera.
It is very easy to change the names of film rolls within iPhoto to make them easier to find images within. Open the info panel in iPhoto by clicking on the "i" icon. Once it is opened, click on the roll title in the viewing window.
Click on the word "title" in the info pane and type in your new title. I like to use a date and text format such as 12/25/05 Christmas at Mom's, 1/05/06 my birthday, etc. Once the roll names are changed within iPhoto, they are also changed within the Finder, making it easy to locate an image.
When importing from a camera, make sure you name the roll with a date and text before the import.

HT3281 anyone know how to delete podcasts off the new itunes please

Hi
Does anyone know how you delete podcasts of the new I-Tunes please
Thank you

The show duplicates/show exact duplicates features have been left out of iTunes 11. Rumor suggests they will be restored in the next build. In the meantime I have written two Windows scripts to make playlists of Duplicates and Exact Duplicates, either from a selection of tracks or the entire library.
If you want to manually remove duplicate tracks use shift-delete to remove selected tracks from the library as well as the playlist. Keep one of each repeated group of files and don't send to the recycle bin unless you are sure that there are multiple files on the disc as opposed to multiple entries to the same file.
There is also my DeDuper script if you don't want to do it by hand. This can preserve ratings, play counts, playlist membership, etc. which are lost in a manual clean up. Please take note of the warning to backup your library before deduping. See this thread for background on deduping and the script.
