I have to keep fixing and re-fixing the same broken links in iTunes

Does anyone have a reason, or better yet, a solution as to why I have to keep re-fixing the same dead tracks in iTunes 11? It doesn't seem to matter if i Use 3rd party apps or iTunes Locate feature, I can fix a link then it will just be broken again later. Not all the time though.

Hello, deevho,
First you need to find out if the distributed songs have anything in common, for example the date added or the Artist, since it is obviously not the name of the album. If you can identify some common feature you can create a smart playlist
File > New > Smart Playlist
and define a rule, like "Artist is " 
and all your songs will appear in one playlist.
Then select all the songs from the playlist and activate the Information panel "cmd-I". Now set the album, the genre, the artist to a common name.
If however your songs don't have a common feature, then collect the songs by adding them with drag& drop to a regular playlist, and  then proceed as mentioned before.
I hope that helps.
Regards
Leonie

  • I have 3 apple devices and I use the same apple ID for all 3.  I would like to create a new I'd for one of my devices, but do not want to loose the apps on that device.  Anyone know how I can do this?

    Create a new ID:
    On the iPod go to
    - Settings>Messages>Send and receive and sign out your ID and sign into the other one. Make sure that only her ID email address is listed.
    - Settings>FaceTime sign out of your ID and sign into the other one. Make sure that under You can be reached at only the newID email address is listed
    - Settings>iCloud and sign out and sign in with the new one
    - Settings>iTunes and App Store and sign out your ID and sign in with the new one.
    - Apps are locked to the account that purchased them.
    - To update apps you have to sign into the account that purchased the apps. If you have apps that need updating purchased from more than one account you have to update them one at a time until the remaining apps were purchased from one account.

    I seem to be having the same problem on my brand new iPhone 4S. Everything was working fine on the phone until I updated to iOS 5.1.1, but now I no longer receive push notifications for the native Mail app, Instagram, or the Facebook app. I still seem to be receiving SMS texts and iMessages via push, but the aforementioned apps need to be opened before I can receive missed notifications (having them open in the background seems to make no difference).
    Thanks for any help that you may provide!

    did you try notifications under settings? You can customize it as per your requirement, for each application.

    I am writing a book and need to have the margins alternating left and right pages, so that there is sufficient margin for the binding. I have tried different inside and outside margins, the same inside and outside margins, facing pages, changing the master, and I cannot get the margins to alternate at print time. The larger margin is always on the left. Can anyone please help me on this, as I have spent hours and lots of ink.

  • My phone keeps resetting and then shows the icon to plug into itunes but when i do itunes tells me that it can't connect to my phone because it has a passcode and wants me to unlock it to connect. My phone only gives me the option to make emergency calls.

    My phone started resetting today over and over and then shows the icon to plug into itunes. When I tried plugging in, a message pops up saying that itunes can't connect because my phone has a passcode and i need to unlock it to connect. my phone won't let me do anything more than make an emergency call. it wont give me the option to enter my passcode to unlock the phone. What can I do?

    After a visit to the apple store, they were able to get through my pass code but unfortunately I found out that is was a problem with the logic board. Since Apple only wants to sell and not fix, I was able to locate an iphone repair near me that deals with logic boards and they are currently working on it right now. i should be getting it back soon. Im not sure if the problem you are experiencing is the same as i went through but it does sound like it may be also a hardware issue and would suggest searching online for an iphone repair place that can diagnose what exactly is wrong. Hope this helps.

  • Is it possible to have sorting by group and checkboxes in the same ALV

    Hi there,
    Does anyone know whether it is possible to have sorting and group on one field in ALV and checkboxes set on another field in ALV?
    eg.
    Fieldname
    ===========
    Name----
    Text
    Allowance----
    Numeric -> Sort & Group
    Verified----
    Checkbox
    How do I code it if it is possible to have grouping and check box all in one ALV.  Meaning I want some data that are the same to merge using sort, while still having the checkbox available for my other field (Verified).
    Thanks in advance.
    Lawrence

    hi,
    GROUP BY clause is used on database tables with select statement.
    sort is used on internal tables.
    can u clearly explain y u need group by and sort on the same field.
    if u are extracting from dbtable using grou by clause on a field, then no need to sort it again.
    if u want sort u can do it by giveing "sort itab by field". thats not a problem.
    now coming to check box.instead of using SLIS type field catalog, u use LVC type.
    in LVC_S_LAYO, u can fine box_fname.
    while defining layout, u declare a variable of type LVC_S_LAYO
    AND GIVE BOX_FNAME = internal table field name

  • Keeping heading and detail on the same page

    Hi, I have a report with a group header section and a detail section.  How can I keep the heading section and all the detail section on the same page without starting each group on a new page?
    The detail section will have either 2 or 3 records with some of the objects set to grow if the data doesn't fit on one line.  This results in several changes of group appearing on the same page which is what I want.  However, what I don't want is the header section on one page with the detail section on the next, or the header and some of the detail records on one page with the rest of the detail records on the next.  What I would like is the report to start a new page if the header and all the detail records don't fit on the same page but without starting a new page for every group change.  How can I achieve this?

    you can put the group header and details into a sub report on the old group header section.
    then hide the details section

  • HT5622 Can you have multiple apple ids and all share the same apps and music?

    I have multiple devices, iphone 5s (myself), mini ipad (son), 5th generation ipod (daughter). When I receive imessages they are going to the other devices and not my phone. Is this because I have all devices set up on the same Apple User ID or am I missing something in Settings that needs to be turned on/off? I have all devices under the same User ID to control the purchases. Now I'm thinking maybe each device needs to have it's own User ID and if I switch them now, will we all still share the same apps and music? Any help or suggestions is greatly appreciated.

    Wouldn't you only need to create a new apple ID and put that on your phone instead of your old apple ID that is merged?

  • Is it possible to have Oracle client 7 and 9 at the same time?

    I have Windows XP and I need to have both clients at the same time in the same machine.
    Is it possible to have multiple oracle homes, one for each client version?
    thanks.

    Hi,
    Thanks for the quick replay...I supposed that answers but I have seen some info where it said that Oracle Client releases previous to 8.0.4 supports only single home.
    The case is my customer has already installed and Oracle Client 7 to access some old database, now we need to install on the same computer a Oracle Client 9.2, you mean there is no problem with this ?
