How to organize songs the way I want!!

Ok, bear with me:
I hate the way songs are organized in Itunes. I wanted to be able to go in Songs and have everything alphabetized by artist and then song like this:
John Lennon - Imagine.
Or by titles I create like: 80's - Europe - Final Countdown.
Now, if I ever have tag info, Itunes organizes by song name only in the song list. So basically, my solution was to delete ALL tag info so that songs show up as they do on my computer. This works well for navigating to songs in the song list but then I can't have anything organized by album or artist.
My problem is this: I'd like to be able to go into Albums and/or Artists and have bands organized there as well in case I just want listen from those (potential) lists, as well as having files organized by artist-song name in Songs. In a perfect world, I'd be able to add full albums into Albums and either not have them listed at all under songs (probably not possible) or have them list the way I want in Songs: artist dash song.
Is there any way to make this happen? Thanks for any tips.

How to organize tracks the way I want them?

So this concept is very simple but might be impossible to do in iTunes. My scenario is that I am a mobile DJ, so for years I have been organizing my audio tracks on my computer following this file naming format: "Artist - Track Name.mp3", which makes my songs very easy to sort through. So, I bought my iPod classic and imported all of my tracks into iTunes, thinking that I would be able to follow this same format, but I quickly noticed that while there are many "column" options to sort the library by (title, genre, etc.), there seems to be no option to allow for my desired format. Correct me if I'm wrong, but it seems that iTunes loads in tracks according to ID3 tag info (which is often incorrect, missing info, and so on). Simply put, I cannot figure out how to get the library in Itunes to follow my "Artist - Track Name" system, which makes sorting through nearly 10,000 songs very hard and confusing, especially when I use the iPod in conjunction with my car's Alpine head unit. So, my question is, can I get the tracks to appear how they are named on my computer using the "Artist - Track Name" format, or am I being left to edit the ID3 tag info for each song (which would royally suck for 10,000 songs!). Help.

Katrina:
Too late on your warning unfortunately! I did have that option checked off, so iTunes screwed up about half of my files on my external HD before I stopped the process it was doing once I figured out what was going on. I've had to spend hours getting everything back to the way it was. So frustrated.
ed2345:
Thanks for the information. It's disappointing because I like my iPod, but in my opinion iTunes as a bundled program is complex and lacks basic things when it comes to library organization. As a DJ who requires specific control over all of my music, the iTunes system is horrendous.

Will iOS 4 for iPad let you organize pictures the way you want?

Hi,
does anybody know whether the iOS 4 iPAD edition specs say anything about being able to organize pictures the way you want in the iPad?
It currently sorts them with no options whatsoever either by date or by places.
I want to be able to create my slideshows the way I want, not Apple.
For now, I have to:
1- rename each file in the order I want, say, from 01 to 80
2- remove the entire EXIF info from each picture (so it doesn't have time stamps)
3- use a "touch" utility to change all the file dates to (current date+ 1second X picture number)
It's a bit hard and not accessible to the alpha user.
It would be nice to have a "sequential" and a "alphabetic" order in the slideshow options, as well as ascending and descending parameters.
Any clue?

Hi,
I already updated it this morning and moved the suffix as a prefix in order to get the iPad pictures grouped together instead of every other file. It's easier to select all iPad_pic01, iPad_pic02... files as they are together, rather than pic01_ipad, pic02_ipad,etc
1. I suggest that you should post your program description and
link as a brand new topic so that everyone with the same
annoying problem can find it. I would call it something like
"Photo Sort Problem SOLVED".
I'll do that in a very short time, once I have enough feedback about the stability of the utility.
2. The link you posted needs to have a .html at the end.
Yeap. I'll correct the ipad directory to be redirected on the ipad.html file.
3. Would it be possible for your program to handle some other image
formats with EXIF tags, especially Png's?
I'll check this. If my EXIF class handles them (it should also handle TIFF since Exif derives from TIFF), I will implement this a.s.a.p.
4. Would it be possible to directly change the subject files instead
of creating the _iPad copies? Perhaps as a user option?
Yes, I'm working now to add this as an option:
1) overwrite the original picture without backup copies (keeping the same name)
2) prefix the file name with a string of your choice
3) suffix the file name with a string of your choice
Thanks for your input.

Once tunes are matched, how can I organize them the way I want?

On my itunes library on my home computer, I list my artists the way record stores sell them-by last names. Itunes match lists them differently. For example, "McCartney, Paul" (the way I list him in my library-last name first) is listed as "Paul McCartney" after the itunes match. So essentially, itunes match creates two different listings for that artist but only on my phone and if he ever did a duet, that would be a whole other problem/listing. My itunes on my computer lists the artists the way I want to organize them, but I have to accept the way itunes files on my iphone. Seems match will give me the song file but not allow me to organize it as I'd like. This might seem trivial to many people, but I have over 20,000 songs and right now it's one big ugly mess on my phone, but the library on my home computer is fine. Can something be done to remedy this? At this point, I'd entertain another program if it promised to do a better job of organizing things the way I'd like them.

why can't you use the keyboard the way it is printed?

How to arrange songs on ipod shuffle the way I want them to be played

I just got an Ipod shuffle in India.....2 GB....I want the songs to be played in a particular order only the way I can do on MP3 players....How do I arrange songs the way I want them to be played serially?

If you have iOS 5 on the iPad then you can create new albums directly on the iPad - you should get an Edit button at the top of the Albums screen in the Photos app. That will allow you create and 'copy' photos into those new albums (you can't copy photos into synced albums), but you can't delete the original photo - if you do delete it then all copies of it that you've put in other albums will also be deleted. I don't think that the total number of photos increases on the iPad when you copy photos into new albums, so I think that you effectively just creating pointers to them in those new albums, so if you delete the original photos on the iPad then all pointers to it will also be deleted.

I accidentally combined all of my photos on iphoto to be one event. i have it the way i want it saved on my external harddrive from time machine. how do i make my computer go back to that

Open Time Machine to the date that you know the iPhoto Library is in the format you want and select and Restore it.

Is there a picture organization app that will let you move pictures around the way you want?

I need a recommendation for a picture organization app that will actually allow you to sort pictures the way you want and have them stay in that order.
The native app just doesn't allow me to sort my pictures into what ever sequence I want them in. Creating new folders is OK, finally being able to delete pictures from photo stream is great but I really want a finer level of control over the order in which my pictures are displayed. I looked at iPhoto but it has lots of reviews that say it doesn't do this so I am looking for an app that will give me control of my albums and will allow me to sort my pictures the way I want them.

Hi Thom_D,
I have iPhoto and I have found that it works very well for me, organising photos etc. onto a pinboard type thing.
Hope this helps!

Yesterday I installed itunes for the first time on my new netbook which is a 64 bit (windows 7) system and it works just fine. i have three other laptops (all window 7) in my household that are all 64 bit operating systems and ALL have updated to 10.5 and THEY ALL work fine. this is FOUR 64 bit systems ALL updated w/10.5 that work and ONE that is a 32 bit that will not. Can't get any help from apple. their suppot *****! I want to get someone on the **** phone or a live chat but cant. *** APPLE????? please let mw know if you find SOMETHING i can try next. I'm out of ideas and patience!

How do I sort photos the way I want them to appear within an Event? Sort Manually is always grayed out. SAR

Keep trying but sort manually stays grayed out. All I want to do is sort photos within one event the way I want them to appear.

It's like iTunes:
You can view an music album on iTunes and there are all the tracks. The hit single, the annoying filler that they stuck on, all there.
Or you can create a Playlist of just the singles, or tracks from various albums that work together well, or just your favourite tracks from different artists and so on.
In iPhoto: the Event has all the photos taken at that time. So, all 812 photos you took at the Wedding. All there.
An Album allows you to just use the 50 best ones, and possibly group them with 12 from the Rehearsal and five others from the day after. Just the best shots. Or bunch all the photos of the groom from birth to today, or all the photos of the bride and her dog. Or whatever. Really, the limit is your imagination.
Like Playlists in iTunes, images in an iPhoto album are simply referenced from the Library. So a photo can be in any number of albums and use no extra disk space.
Then, once you couple your imagination with metadata...
I use Events simply as big buckets of Photos: Spring 08, July - Nov 06 are typical Events in my Library. I use keywords and Smart Albums extensively. I title the pics broadly.
I keyword on a
Who
What
Where basis (The When is in the photos's Exif metadata). I also rate the pics on a 1 - 5 star basis.
Using this system I can find pretty much find any pic in my 50k library in a couple of seconds.
So, for example, I have a batch of pics titled 'Seattle 08' and a typical keywording might include: John, Anne, Landscape, mountain, trees, snow. With a rating included it's so very easy to find the best pics we took at Mount Rainier.
File -> New Smart Album
set it to 'All"
title contains Seattle
keyword is mountain
keyword is snow
rating is 5 stars
Or, want a chronological album of John from birth to today?
New Smart Album
Keyword is John
Set the View options to Sort By Date Ascending
Want only the best pics?
add Rating is greater than 4 stars
The best thing about this system is that it's dynamic. If I add 50 more pics of John to the Library tomorrow, as I keyword and rate them they are added to the Smart Album.
In the end, organisation is about finding the pics. The point is to make locating that pic or batch of pics findable fast. This system works for me.

How to organize songs

hello i created a playlist but i want to know how to organize songs just in the order that i want...i mean, not in alfabetical order...i want to organize from the quiet song to the fastest...for example. from one classical to rock song
thank you

Rodrigo,
The answer depends on whether you're trying to order a smart playlist or a regular playlist.
If it's a regular one, you can manually arrange the order of the songs. Select the playlist, make sure to click on the heading of the left-most "numerical" column in the display and then drag the songs to the places you want them to be.
If it's a smart one, you can try the same method. I actually didn't expect it to work but a quick test with my iTunes shows that it does. Again, make sure to click on the left-most column heading first.
Anyways, once you've changed the playlist in iTunes, the new order should transfer over to your mini.

The suggested advice in this support article http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1478 wasn't a help at all, because the option "enable disc use" in the summary window of itunes doesn't appear.

iTunes 7 for Mac, iTunes 7 for Windows, iPod nano, iPod shuffle, iPod mini, iPod, iTunes 8 for >Windows, iTunes 8 for Mac
No mention of the Touch, it works differently from other iPods and has no "disk mode" as such.
I think it can be used as a storage device by using a 3rd party App, search the the App Store for such items.
Photos transferred to your Touch via iTunes will be of severely compromised quality i.e 640x480 pixel resolution and file size around 600-700 kb. These can be retrieved, again using a 3rd party application on your computer, such as [Touch Copy|http://www.wideanglesoftware.com/touchcopy> but you will not get back original quality images.

While editing a scanned pdf, Acrobat will not recognize the current font & change to very different font. How can I choose the font I want to match the current document?

While editing a scanned pdf, Acrobat will not recognize the current font & change to very different font. How can I choose the font I want to match the current document?

Thanks for answering. The version is XI.0.10. I just did the update yesterday hoping that I could now properly edit a scanned pdf document. Yes, it's happening on most all scanned documents. I followed your steps & found the list of fonts used in the document & then attempted to edit. The same occurs. When I type in a correction, I get an error alert... "the original font (in this case Fd 5805) is not available or can't be used in editing. Acrobat is using the font Minion Pro in its place."
When I select the text & right click as you suggested, my only choices are cut, copy, delete or select all, no "edit text".
I have no other options to choose another font. Thanks for any help you can direct my way.

Videos not organized the way I want (I think)

I FINALLY downloaded videos to my iPod, however they are not being organized the way I want. Let me explain.
I have 32 videos purchased from iTunes, various artists, and only 1 video per artist. With audio files for artists with 1 to 3 songs I group them all into one artist called "VARIOUS" and the album is "iTunes". I delete all other information pertaining to the artist.
I applied this same reasoning to the videos, I also numbered them 1-32 in order that I bought them. However when I go to the videos on my iPod (when it's NOT connected to my computer) all the videos are in Alphabetical order of the artist, which I THOUGHT I deleted. So when I play them they play in alphabetical order on my iPod when it's NOT connected to my computer. When I play them through my iPod connected to my computer they play in the order I organized.
Is there something I missed? Is there a shuffle option for videos that I can't seem to find?
Any help is GREATLY appreciated.
60GB iPod w/Video Windows XP

I checked the shuffle option and it does not work on videos, only Songs and Albums. Thinking it might be an iTunes 7.3 thing I removed that version and reinstalled the 7.2 version - same results.
I've tried numerous things and still have the same result:
With the iPod plugged into the computer, the videos are in the numerical order I placed them, and I can play them in that order in iTunes.
With the iPod on its own, the videos are in Alphabetical order and play that way all the time everytime.
UPDATE:
For some reason I NOW have an iTunes Videos playlist in Videos>Video Playlists and they are in the order I placed them.
Thanks for your input.

How do I find the cookies I want to keep

Recently I asked for some help but I think my request has got lost.
I had beenadvised to save the cookies I want to keep but this is beyond me.
My question is how do I find the cookie I want to keep? It is a cookie for an ebook and I have no idea what it is.
Will deleting all other cookies mean that it will also delete my passwords and log ins on several sites? I don't want this to happen.
Which brings me to the last point - You say that if I list exceptions to cookies I want to keep (at least I think that is what you mean), how do I find all those cookies?
Again, sorry for troubling you but until I can find out more about the cookies, I don't want to delete these in case I delete the wrong ones, such as the ebook.
Thank you cor-el. I do appreciate your advice...enormously.
Anthony

Dear Sir,
Thank you so much for the above. It will be of great help in telling me where to go. But my problem is that if I can find cookies, I don't know which ones I want to keep. Are they labelled with the sites they refer to? If so that will help me. Apart from one which is the cookie I need to get to my online ebook, I guess there are cookies for the various passwords I have saved?
Forgive me but I am an old man and not real great with computers.
Thanks,
Anthony
