No it wasn't.
Playlists were created to make a list of songs.
Itunes does not make album recognition easy,
How is selecting an album not easy? And as you have noted, creating hundreds of palylists and managing them is NOT easy.
As many of you know, syncing playlists is a nightmare when you have many to sort through
Which is one reason to not create hundreds of playlists.
When I get a new cd, all I want is to drag and copy it to my ipod and iphone,
Why can't you select the album and drag it to the iPod or add it to one of a few playlists and sync?
should the artist start with an x or z.
Why not go the playlists and type x or z to go right there?

Has anyone found a workaround driver for using a Xerox WorkCentre PE220 Series printer with Mountain Lion?
John -
My "Use" menu only contains Apple print drivers. And Canon drivers, from the location I set this machine up. None for my home use....which is a Xerox machine.
Not being on the menu, I don't know how to acquire this generic driver.
Any further helpful hints?
I appreciate your thoughts and help.

Has anyone found a stable browser for their Power Mac?
I remember when I first jumped on the Macintosh bandwagon. My friend at the time told me that "Apple has no problem leaving you behind." I am wondering if the community has any solutions. I have a PowerMac G5 that runs great most of the time, except for one problem. I can't find a web browser that its stable. I have Safari 5.0.6 because Firefox no longer supports Power PC and their older versions are unusable and Chrome is Intel only.
The problem I am having is that if I leave my computer on and walk away I am getting scripting errors or spinning pinwheels. The only way I can rectify the issue is to force quit the browser, and this happens so many times throughout the day it makes me ill.
At first I thought maybe it was becasue I didn't have 10% free on my drive. I got a new hard drive. That didn't work. Then I thought maybe I had too much stuff on my machine, so I reformatted my entire drive, and I still suffer from the same problem.
I've finally given up and I ask you. I am really frustarted because signing off on an old OS is one thing. Signing off on the very thing you need to access information efficiently and effectively is ridiculous. Especially since they keep supporting iTunes updates. I guess the legacy support is contingent upon the bottom line and nothing else matters.
If anyone else has found a stable browser for their PowerMac, I would love to hear it. I am running Leopard 10.5.8. Thanks.Most instabilitiy with Safari is due to third-party add-ons or plug-ins. Many are serious troublemakers, like the "CT" or "Community Toolbar."
If you have a crash report from Safari, I think you'd get some good help by posting it in the Safari forums. Those people are good at ferreting out the add-ons/conflcits that make it unstable.
I run Safari on a number of Macs with OS versions from 10.4.11 to 10.6.8 and I run no add-ons/extensions and a minimal number of plug-ins. It's completely stable for me.
I am running Leopard 10.5.8.
Then you may wish to update the info in your equipment line:
I was about to tell you to update your OS to 10.4.11 when I got to the last line of your post! -
Has anyone found the correct driver for Canon MF4018 printer?
I have tried installing all of the available drivers including MF4010 which other users have reported works- I keep getting Error-50 and cannot print anything. If anyone has used any driver for this printer that is compatible with my macbook pro - that could help me out a lot.
Since it's a 10.8 issue, why not place a new post in the 10.8 usage forum?

HT203258 Has anyone found a real resolution for TS2474
The resolution listed for TS2474 is only a temporary fix, As it does not correct the automount behavior a empty mount point folder is still left over after a unexpected restart and a second mount point is still created.
For software related issues you can try a backup and then restore. If you are unable to restore normally due to errors then you can try placing the device into recovery mode.
If the issue is not resolved by doing this then it is most likely hardware related. You'll need to arrange a service with Apple to have it repaired, if you are unable to get to an Apple Store you can call AppleCare you may be able to setup a repair over the phone via mail in/courier. -
In Adobe Pro XI when converting an excel file to a pdf, the pdf is not retaining the page size settings. Has anyone found a fix for this?
It shouldn't print each page as a separate job and
each tab has a different name, so, even if it did, it
ought to give the printouts the name of the tabs.
It doesn't print each page as a separate job unless the orientation is different - that's the bug. And the name of the job is taken from the name of the window, not the name of the tabs. That's how every application works, which, I think, is why Excel allows the specific selection or the active sheets to be printed.
Still, that does sound like a plausible explanation.
However, even if presented with multiple prints with
the same name, the spooler should print each one!
The spooler does print each one - you can watch the spooler process the multiple jobs. I think, though, that they are being overwritten since all the jobs have the name of the window as the job title. And since this happens after the Save Dialog is presented, there's really nothing the application can do. To Excel, it's one job, the multiple orientations don't matter; it's just that Apple doesn't handle it correctly.
As a workaround, you can print the selections one at a time and give them unique names and then rejoin them in one PDF file. -
I reply to an email on my iPad. When I view the same email on the PC in MS outlook there is no indication that I have replied to it.
Is there an email app that I can use?
Has anyone found a solution for this?This seems to be an annoying part of the newer OS. When I first got my Pearl in 2008, I didn't have that occur. However once the OS got upgraded, and now with the Tour, it seems like that is the way it works. Not clear to me why they would have thought this is preferable.

HT1473 Has anyone found a way around the artwork bug for iTunes 11 in Windows?
This thing has been ******* me off for 2 years and I can't contact Apple directly to rage at them. Hopefully someone there sees this. Has anyone found a way around the bug?
I assume you are using transitions. This is not a bug - it is how iMovie handles transitions.
There are two settings for transition overlap - full and half. If you are using photos only, you may get the results you want by setting transition overlap to half.
For full details, see iMovie Help here on Transition Overlap.

Has anyone found any glow-in-the-dark earbuds (with mic) for the iPhone? I'm looking for some that glow or light up so they can be seen when I walk in the dark.
In a roaming network, your "main" router is the device that would require port mapping/forwarding to be configured in order to access the IP camera from the Internet. This router is also the one that would be provide the private IP address for the camera which you will want to be a static one.
So as you described your network, the IP cameras should be getting an IP address or you assigned it a static one and this is the address that you would enter in the Private IP address (or equivalent depending on the router used) field when setting up port mapping.
If you are not able to access this camera from the local network, then this should be troubleshot first. -
Has anyone found an app that will check programs on my computer for compatibility with osx lion?
Has anyone found an app that will check the programs on my computer running Snow Leopard for compatibility with osx lion? Thanks
KenNo app needed, just go into your Utlities folder and click on System Information (it could go by another name). Click on Software and then Applications. Wait a minute for it to load and then check for anything that says "PowerPC" instead of Universal or Intel. PowerPC software will not work in Lion. With my 100+ apps, none of them were PowerPC.
Note: You may have to resize the System Information window to see the operating information. -
hi, my macbook 13" retina [a week old] keeps having problems where the keys/trackpad freeze and other times OS crashes itself. has anyone found/been given a solution? i cant get an applecare appt for 2weeks.

i upgraded to the new itunes version 7 and now my podcasts on my iphone4 won't work. i get an error message "temporarily unavailable". has anyone found a solution to be able to listen to podcasts? thanks
I have the same problem, but don't expect Apple to help! I rang their help line and explained the situation and that the same experience is reported all over their forum and they would not assist unless I paid for a one year help subsciption.
This company has lost the plot! They create software that universally will not work then expect customers to pay to have it fixed. Technically I should walk straight into the nearest apple shop and ask for a refund, as the device is no longer fit for purpose!
Congratulations Apple for the best ant-promotional App on the market and your astounding lack of service ethos. -
After updating my 4S to iOS 5.1.1 last night, none of my data applications are working today, nor Siri, iMessage or anything of the like. I'm at a loss as to what might have caused it. Is anyone else having this issue/has anyone found a fix? Everything seems to work fine if I connect to wireless, but if I'm not connected to it then nothing is working. My service provider says everything should be working fine, I still have the 3G symbol and full bars.
Somebody clearly hasn't read the User Guide.
Basic troubleshooting steps are retart, reset, restore from backup, restore as NEW.
If you have tried ALL of these steps and you're still having problems, then you need to bring your phone into Apple for evaluation. -
Has anyone tried running Dragon NaturallySpeaking (for Windows) on Mac Mavericks?
Has anyone tried running Dragon NaturallySpeaking (for Windows) on Mac Mavericks? I have finally given up on Dragon Dictate for Mac, which alas, after years of buying every new updated version, is still exceedingly buggy and does not begin to compare in quality to the PC version. I love my Mac, and don't like my PC at all, but the third-party voice dictation software for Mac is so pathetic, that I have wound up dictating on my PC, and then sending it to my Mac: an truly annoying and Baroque process. I was able to train over 120 words in Sanskrit word perfect on Dragon NaturallySpeaking, but on Dragon Dictate for Mac, I can't even get it to train my name. I know this is not an Apple problem, but I'm trying to find a way around by possibly running the DNS version on Windows on my iMac.
I have a hand disability, so I really do need to use voice dictation, both for dictating and navigating on my computer.
If anyone is doing this, are you using Boot Camp, VM fusion, or Parallels? How well does it work? Has anyone discovered anything else I ought to be considering, before giving this a try? I had tried running this on an old on 2008 iMac (with much less power), using Parallels, but it was incredibly slow. Now that I have a much more powerful iMac, I'm wondering whether it would be worth another try. As it will be quite an investment to purchase all this third-party software to get Dragon up and running, I was hoping to get a sense of how well it works, before plunking down the cash. I would be extremely grateful for helpful feedback.
IMac, Mavericks OS X 10.9.4, 3.5 GHz Intel core i 7, 8 GB 1600 MHz DD3, Dragon NaturallySpeaking 12, Dragon Dictate 4.0.2You cannot run a Windows application on a Mac unless you run Windows on the Mac.
Windows on Intel Macs
There are presently several alternatives for running Windows on Intel Macs.
1. Install the Apple Boot Camp software. Purchase Windows
XP w/Service Pak2, Vista, or Windows 7. For Boot Camp
4.0 and above you can only use Windows 7 or later. Follow
instructions in the Boot Camp documentation on
installation of Boot Camp, creating Driver CD, and
installing Windows. Boot Camp enables you to boot the
computer into OS X or Windows.
2. Parallels Desktop for Mac and Windows XP, Vista Business,
Vista Ultimate, or Windows 7. Parallels is software
virtualization that enables running Windows concurrently
with OS X.
3. VM Fusion and Windows XP, Vista Business, Vista Ultimate,
or Windows 7. VM Fusion is software virtualization that
enables running Windows concurrently with OS X.
4. CrossOver which enables running many Windows
applications without having to install Windows. The
Windows applications can run concurrently with OS X.
5. VirtualBox is an Open Source freeware virtual machine such
as VM Fusion and Parallels that was developed by Solaris.
It is not as fully developed for the Mac as Parallels and VM
Fusion.
Note that VirtualBox, Parallels, and VM Fusion can also run other operating systems such as Linux, Unix, OS/2, Solaris, etc. There are performance differences between dual-boot systems and virtualization. The latter tend to be a little slower (not much) and do not provide the video performance of the dual-boot system. See MacTech Labs- Virtualization Benchmarks, January 2013 | MacTech for comparisons of Boot Camp, Parallels, and VM Fusion. Benchmarks of all of the above except Crossover can be found in Benchmarking Parallels, Fusion, and VirtualBox Against Boot Camp - The Mac Observer. Boot Camp is only available with Leopard or later. Except for Crossover and a couple of similar alternatives like DarWine you must have a valid installer disc for Windows.
You must also have an internal optical drive for installing Windows. Windows cannot be installed from an external optical drive.
