How To Reduce Song Rating

Okay, there is nothing easier than adding stars to rate songs. But to demote a song I can't find a way to take stars off. iTunes help only seems to offer info on adding stars. I know the answer will be dead simple but my nick name should be Homer Simpson

Terence
I just figured it out (via the file menu) and was logging in to say 'don't worry about it' when I found your message.
I had been adding rattings by clicking the dots in the rating column, so had been seeking the solution to demotion also directly in the rating column. Hadn't thought of trying it via the file menu. dohh!
Thanks.

Import song rating

I'm using iTunes 11.0.4.
All my songs have a star rating, and none of those ratings are imported into iTunes.
How do I get it to read the song rating stored in the songs I've imported?

Ha Ha!!! Hello leonieDF...ha ha...yes...unfortunately...a valid question as lately my mind seems to be spending more time in space then here on the planet with my body....however...I do believe that when I quit Garageband I do what I normally do and that is to hit the save button on the way out. This really does have me baffled and distressed as I'm trying to "cut up" an old CD into single songs to send via email to my band members.
I do not really know if the songs or cds I"m trying to import are ".aif or .aac" files...not sure what that means, but will try to figure it out. Also, I will check into the project package....media subfolder suggestion...not sure what that is either.
thank you for responding...this is the first time I've ever engaged in this "support community" ever...

What the h*** happened to Live Updating of smart playlists in iT 11? I have several smart lists that pull from larger lists based on how recently a song has played. Not happening now. The whole library only updates "last played"

What the h*** happened to Live Updating of smart playlists in iT 11? I have several smart lists that pull from larger lists based on how recently a song has played. Not happening now. The whole library only updates "last played" for about 1 in 20 songs. This is really screwing up my lists that I use as backgrounds for a lot of activities in my classroom at school.

FYI, I've found that Live Updating can SORT OF work. It seems if you only have two rules, live upating works (IE, I have one that is a Rating must be 3-5*'s and last played cannot be within the last 8 weeks). Once the song is played it disapears off the playlist. BUT, as soon as I try to add a third rule, it doesn't work anymore! This is unfortunate because two rules really limits the ability of the playlist...
Cheers,

Update New Records is taking much time to complete. How to reduce

Hi,
Iam having a Table with 200 Clumns and trying to Update 5 columns and the table has 5lakh Records. It is taking very much time 2hours to complete. Pls let me know why is this taking time how to reduce....
In my ssis Package iam using
Oracle Source
Look up
Oledb Command for the Update.
Please help ism stuck?

I have somthing like this..
Update table
Set column1 =@column1, column2=@column2,column3=@column3,column4=@column4,column5=@column5
where column1=@column1
in this case i need to add a index on column1 right? Pls llet me know
Yes, an index in column1 (preferably clustered) would avoid the table scan for each update. The ELT the staging table alternative Jim suggested will likely perform better than individual updates for a large process like this.

My dad has itunes on his PC. I don't have my own but I recently have an iPad mini and an iPod. I don't know how to get songs onto itunes on the PC, using a different account or at least private/ separate..

My dad has itunes on his PC. I don't have my own but I recently have an iPad mini and an iPod. I don't know how to get songs onto itunes on the PC, using a different account or at least private/ separate..
So how do I create a separate I tunes on a PC which already has itunes... Or if not can I plug my iPad to the PC and use itunes on my iPad, and drag mp3s from a computer.
I'm not sure what the equivalent of a desktop is on the iPad.. And I don't actually know how to use the icloud either...
Can anyone start me off, given it have a iPad and use of a PC - not mine with existing iplayer
I do have spotify soundcloud so I could potentially use these.. If there is a route of getting either mp3's etc to end up on my iPad or iPod.
Kind Regards

Can't figure out how to add songs to my iphone with itunes 11.

I can't figure out how to add songs from my itunes library to my iphone. I used to just drag the songs from the library to my phone, but now that won't work. It's probably something really simple that I'm missing, but it's frustrating me. Can anyone help? My phone is the iphone 4 if that matters.

Yes, thank you also. I was racking my brains out how to do a simple thing like adding songs to my ipod.
But it's option+command+s to show or hide the side bar. 

For iTunes Match, how come some songs "match" on an album and other songs on the same album "upload" without matching?

For iTunes Match, how come some songs "match" on an album and other songs on the same album "upload" without matching? All songs are available on iTunes. I don't get it! Any way to manually match songs that iTunes apparently can't match? I have hundreds in this unmatched state.

Shazam has NO problem determining what these songs are. Maybe Apple needs to consider licensing their technology as it seems MUCH more accurate than what they are doing.
You aren't comparing like with like.
The main task that Shazam has is to identify the name or a track and the artist. I believe that it suggests the album as well, but if it gets that wrong then it doesn't really matter too much.
With iTunes Match, getting the album (i.e. identifying which version it is) is much more important. If it gets that wrong then it breaks up the flow of an album. This makes the task that match has very much harder.
In fact, there is a strong argument to say that currently the problem iTunes has is that it is matching too many songs, resulting in matches from different albums.
I'm sure that match is not struggling to identify whether it has a song or not, but whether it has the correct version of a song. When you introduce different masterings into the process then, depending on the thresholds set, it is probably correct in concluding that it hasn't got a particular version, even if you think it has.
The solution would appear to me to be a tweaking of the matching thresholds along with the ability to force an upload, but we just don't know what restrictions they have (remember that if Shazam gets it wrong the it doesn't present you with a copy of a new track that you didn't have previously). It is almost certainly not just a case of improving their technology.

Does any one know how to arrange songs by location in itunes lybrary?

I've ripped more than 100 CDs in different folder in my computer. After installing itunes, every songs is added to the library. But when I want to transpher some songs located in a specific folder, I can not find how? They only arrange by names, or album, or artist... They don't know if you got a collection of favourite songs in a folder, how can I find them, or I have to find each song manualy? Any one knows how to arragne songs by their location, pls help. Thanks alot

I can not drag directy from my store folder to my Ipod, right?
Correct.
I dont want to select hundreds of songs one by one.
Okay. You have already done that.
But how do you find a specific song? You have to remember if it's in your favorites folder or in the artist folder or ???
In iTunes, you create a playlist, put the music you want in the playlist, drag the playlist to your iPod in iTunes.
Anytime you wan t, add or remove songs from this playlist and plug in the iPod to sync it up.
iTunes is a music manager.
You are simply using Windows Explorer/the desktop as a manager now.
iTunes is so much more versatile. You can sort, group, exclude by Album, Artist, date of song, Genre, and a bunch of other criteria.
Just as you don't care where a song is physically located on a CD, you don't need to be concerned (too much) with where it is on your HD. With iTunes, as long a syou know something about it (Artist or album), you can find it with one or two clicks.

You can't without a third party app. If you didn't purchase the Music with your Apple ID or if the music was imported from CD's on your friends iTunes library, syncing will not work ....nor will transferring purchases.

If you just want to be able to sync your devices to the same PC without having them get overwritten all the times, here is a free method
http://cnettv.cnet.com/sync-your-ipod-two-computers/9742-1_53-50004835.html
Basically, you put the same itunes database file on all the PCs. This fakes itunes into thinking it is always the same PC and the ipod is OK to sync with it. It will NOT keep your libraries truly synced, though. I've just resigned myself to always buying from one PC and manually transferring the content to other PCs I want it on.

How to reduce number of colors in an image

I am fairly new to Photoshop and I'm learning as I go, so I apologize for using your time. I haven't worked with images that much - I've used MS Digital Image Suite with photos from my camera. That's the extent of my knowledge.
I am taking over a job from someone who is gone and I can't ask him how to do this. He used Photoshop to reduce the number of colors in an image (for example, a color drawing or clipart) to 2-6 colors. I haven't been able to figure this out. I've visited this site that explains how to reduce tones but it's still a lot of colors. I thought I might learn something from this link that explained how to make Photoshop cartoons, but I didn't. I've done a lot of searching but nothing seems to explain this. I know that the other guy had some knowledge of Photoshop but he wasn't a power user.
Thanks to anyone who will help me. (I am using CS5.)

Are you sure that he was using Photoshop? (see my third solution)
There are some plug-ins for Photoshop, but they basically do the same as the posterize or index mode: http://www.topazlabs.com/simplify/ (commercial) see this panel for colorizing comic art: http://vimeo.com/user3771002/videos
I would rather use posterize, as an adjustment layer, as you can control it.
Try with this layer stack, from bottom to top:
Convert the original image in a Smart Object, in order to use Smart filters and blur the image (Gaussian Blur, or noise>median or blur>smart blur or blur>surface blur could be interesting internatives) would be useful, to make smoother posterized areas.
A dodge/burn layers (a neutral gray layer in overlay mode) to adjust areas using the Dodge/burn tools.
the Posterize Adjustment layer, with very few colors
On top of it, put a gradient map adjustment layer, to control the posterized colors
Vectorizing in Illustrator can also be used to reduce the number of colors. Live Trace: http://help.adobe.com/en_US/illustrator/cs/using/WS714a382cdf7d304e7e07d0100196cbc5f-6229a .html

How to reduce the level of free text / direct purchasing

A common problem at all sites is how to reduce the level of free text / direct / non catalogue based purchasing. This is where users enter an account assignment and free text instead of using an existing material number.
This is often the case because it is too "dificult" for the user to search and find the correct material number.
How have other sites handled this?
has anyone found a solution that if a user enters lets say "paper" into the free text box, a pop up appears with a match on possible materials with the word "paper" in the short description? This sounds like a pretty easy function to implement? Does anyone have the code?

Yes this works, but you have to tell that the user has to enter the text in the material number field, then SAP will search thru the database.
