HT4915 How do I keep iTunes Match from De-Organizing my music? I have spent hours organizing my music ratings, info, and deleting duplicates only to quit iTunes and find out that it reverts back to the original when it starts up and syncs with Match. HELP

It first de-organized hours worth of my time. Then I tried it again with iTunes match off only to find out that once you turn it on it de-organizes it again!! I have iTunes match turned off on all my devices. HELP

Go to Settings > iTunes and App Stores and set the option for "iTunes Match" to OFF. Then do a hard reset by holding down the Power and Home buttons until you see the Apple logo.
FYI, there is no matching from an iOS device.

When I edit a song in itunes (i.e change the year) on purchased songs, the next time I return to itunes, the information has reverted back to the original information. How can I change that?

When I edit a song in itunes (i.e change the year) on purchased songs, the next time I return to itunes, the information has reverted back to the original information. How can I change that?
When I purchase ITunes music, and it is a song from a Greatest Hits album, the Year of the song shows the year the CD was released and not the year the song was released (i.e. a song may be from 1986, but the Greatest Hits album was released in 1999, so my songs in ITunes show 1999). So, I go into each of those songs and change it to the year that I want to be displayed. As long as I don't exit out of ITunes, it will show the year that I changed it to (i.e. the 1986 year in this case). But if I exit out of ITunes and then return to ITunes, the year reverts back to 1999. The same happens if I change the genre of a song from, say 'Pop' to 'Alternative', it will revert back the next time I log in.
Oddly enough, as soon as I right-click on that song to change it back, the year/genre that I had entered returns.
How can I make it so my changes are permanently displayed as I want them? This is pretty annoying when I try to find a song on my Ipod under a certain genre, but it doesn't appear in that genre because the incorrect information gets synched to the Ipod.

Make sure that these two options in Edit > Preferences > Store are turned off:
Then exit iTunes and open it up again. Your metadata entries should then be persistent - with these options checked iTunes will be comparing what you have with the information held in the iTunes Store, and will overwrite with the latter for Store purchases (and if you have iTunes Match). If you have any iOS devices you should also turn off Show All Music under Settings > Music.

I rebuilt the thumbnail cache and lost all the changes and editing I had made to 4000 photos every photo reverted back to the original

A tech rebuilt my iphoto thumbnail cache and afterwards all the changes and editing of all my 4000 photos was gone!
Every phot had reverted back to the original!!!!! WHAT HAPPENED???? Why were all my changes destroyed? Where are the photos that I edited?
Also a bunch of photos disappeared. HELP!!!!!

Of course there is no reason that rebuilding a thumbnail cache would cause a loss of all editing of my photos!!! But that's what happened.
I was there when the tech rebuilt the library and thumbnails. He held down shift & command and opened Iphoto and a window appeared with "Rebuild Photo Library" with 6 boxes to check such as
1) Repair Iphoto Library Database
2) Rebuild Iphoto Library Database from automatic backup
3) Rebuild the photos' small thumbnails
4) Rebuild all the photos'thumbnails (this may take a while)
5) Recover orphaned photos in the Iphoto Library Folder
6) Examine and repair IPhotoLibrary file permissions
The tech checked all boxes and after Iphoto has rebuilt everything all my editing was gone and all my photos had reverted back to their originals representing 5 years work.
There are no stuck keys on my keyboard of my computer.

How long can you revert back to the original photo after cropping?

Is there any time limit for how long can you revert back to the original photo after cropping? Are you always able to revert back?
Thanks.

DAM = "Digital Asset Manager", a fancy name for a filing system.
iPhoto keeps the original and makes one (usually much smaller) copy based on your edits. It is non-destructive in that if you crop, and later change the color, iPhoto will go back to the original and apply the corrections to get the new image, it will not simply modify the preview.
If you want a high quality copy of the image, use the export function which allows you to specify the size and compression.

I'm using proxy media for a video I'm editing but now that i switch back to the original media some of my effects are missing can anyone help me.

Shouldn't happen.Only thing I can think of suggesting is to delete render files and try again. Trashing preferences is a long shot, but no harm in trying. Use the Digital Rebellion Preference Manager, a free download.
Assume you have a reason for using such an outdated version of FCP X. That may be contributing to your problem.

When trying to change dns code my iPad wont remember new number. As soon as I leave that screen it reverts back to the original code. What's wrong?

How can I get dns codes to stay on the settings? The first time I changed dns codes on my iPad it remembered it fine. This lasted a week and since any code I enter gets wiped as soon as I leave the screen and goes back to the original code.

The only way to have these settings be permanent is to change from DHCP-based IP allocation to static IP allocation. If you do this the IP you specify must be outside the range of IP addresses that your router uses for DHCP.

Instructions on the Apple site to do this but it didn't work. How do I revert back to the original set up? All files still on local hard disk

I moved the itunes folder to an external hard drive but it didn't work, so I want to revert back to original set up. All the files are still on the local hard disk. I have tried to reverse the steps I used previously but when I try to play a track it says original file could not be found. If I navigate to the itunes music folder and select a track direct from there it opens itunes and plays so I know the music is still on the computer I just can't figure out how to get it to play direct from itunes.
Any help or advice would be greatly appreciated.
Cheers

How do you save changes made in iPhoto, and export the changed file. It keeps reverting back to the original.

How do you save changes made in iPhote, and export the changed picture file? When I select export, current format, it reverts to the original, wiping out all my work.

Try trash the com.apple.iPhoto.plist file from the HD/Users/ Your Name / library / preferences folder.
(On 10.7 or later: Hold the option (or alt) key while clicking on the Go menu in Finder to access the User Library)
(Remember you'll need to reset your User options afterwards. These include minor settings like the window colour and so on. Note: If you've moved your library you'll need to point iPhoto at it again.)
What's the plist file?
For new users: Every application on your Mac has an accompanying plist file. It records certain User choices. For instance, in your favourite Word Processor it remembers your choice of Default Font, on your Web Browser is remembers things like your choice of Home Page. It even recalls what windows you had open last if your app allows you to pick up from where you left off last. The iPhoto plist file remembers things like the location of the Library, your choice of background colour, whether you are running a Referenced or Managed Library, what preferences you have for autosplitting events and so on. Trashing the plist file forces the app to generate a new one on the next launch, and this restores things to the Factory Defaults. Hence, if you've changed any of these things you'll need to reset them. If you haven't, then no bother. Trashing the plist file is Mac troubleshooting 101.

How can I keep my child from UNBLOCKING contacts or numbers I have blocked? I know in restrictions when you disable account changes at least on ios 6,this greyed out the iMessage button so the kids couldn't deactivate their text feature.

Here's the issue. Kids got themselves into some trouble on iPods. We set all restrictions any turned off iMessage etc, which I noticed they can't turn back on bc it's gray with the don't allow account changes set. BUT, it still allows Wi-Fi to be turned on and off! How can I disable them being able to turn that on wo asking me?? In ios 7, the blocking feature, fabulous, BUT, how can I keep the kids from UNBLOCKING numbers I have blocked? What I am looking to do actually is allow my kids to be able to text family but block everyone else. And ask me to turn on wi fi. How and can this even be done? Right now my d text is turned off completely. And she knows the inside and out of her device so she can turn wi fi on herself. On vacation she entered the wi fi code of our condo and so I did forget network, which didn't work and wi fi kept connecting anyway wo requiring password again! HELP! Thanks :) Also, they have iPods now but am asking these questions based on them getting our 4s's with ios 7.

TeresaBoo, I empathize with your dilemma and have a similar problem. I'm trying desperately to keep my teenage daughter away from a controlling and abusive boyfriend. Of course, she is in denial and thinks it's love. Sure, I can block text messages through our wireless provider, but iMessages run on an independent network. I can block a phone number from iMessaging on her phone, but she can unblock it just as easily. I wish there was some way for parents to create a password to protect settings. Don't let negative comments get you down. Honestly, if someone can't relate to your question or offer help, why are they even bothering to comment??

After enlarging a photo in edit by either finger or zoom which puts me in "navigator" how do I save my final product without it reverting back to the original?

How do I save an enlargement - not a crop - made in iPhoto?

Have you tried to import the videos to iTunes and sync them directly from iTunes?

If that does not work, try to add the videos to a shared photo stream, if your iPhone and iOS support shared albums:

TS2518 How can I revert back to the original Aperture 3?

How can I revert back To my oraginal Aperture 3? 3.4.1 has screwd everything up for me!

That will be tricky, if you already upgraded your Aperture library to version 3.4.1.
You need to restore an earlier version of your Aperture Library from your backup.
You need to restore an earlier Aperture version.
How did you buy Aperture? Do you have installation media or a serial number for Aperture 3?
And do you have a TimeMachine backup of your Aperture Library or a vault?
What is the problem with your current Aperture Library? Maybe it will be easier to fix your current system then to downgrade.

My IPhone 5s won't let me edit screenshots even after duplicating them as prompted? Just reverts back to the original?

Why will my iPhone not let me edit screenshots even when I make a duplicate copy it just reverts back to original

i think its the assistive touch bc i got that when my home button broke and my lock button is also broken and now it wont let me slid the unlock button, and i shut it down then turned it back on so it automatically showed the keypad and it would only let me press 3 and thats it. i also read a few other topics about it not unlocking and they all used the assistive touch.

Okay, I confirmed my email address. That took me back to the original page. I was told to edit my profile and I will see my question. There is no place to edit. Please help. I need to know how to uninstall an APP that I installed on my PC using firefox.

I need to know how to view a question I asked earlier. How do I uninstall an APP from my PC.

Your system is not working. No one has replied, yet you are asking me to reply.

HT1339 I wasn't able to update the version to my gen. 4 ipod touch so I restored it to start over again. However, my itunes still isn't able to sync, could the problem be that I restored back to the original, I was never prompted to change name under dev

I had restored my son's ipod because the software update option was not available and I wasn't able to update from version 4.3.3. I had hit restoration which cleared and allowed the update to 6.0 however my itunes still seems to have an issue. It always freezes up during the sinking/backing that takes place in the beginning. It then freezes and I reboot and does the same thing all over again. My son installed a game from his ipod but we can't do anything from itunes?
Thanks!

Maybe here:
iOS: Troubleshooting backup issues in iTunes
just where does it freeze if not during the backup?

HT1848 my computer crashed , no longer can access, how do i reconnect my 4s to new computer. Music transferred, apps and sync will not complete

Frustrated-how do i reconnect my 4s phone to my new computer?

I did this procedure tonight:
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1329
All went well.
I did everything using my device. So my next question is:
How do I move my wife's ipod nano from the old computer to the new one?
We used the same library.
What is de-authorize?
Since we use the same library: Can I simply remove her's from the old, and then plug it into the new?
Or, since I moved the library over, did her's automatically come with it?
Thanks again.
Rick
