I tunesis in need of some serious workmanship

Just bought the ipod touch 16G, and I love it. A serious piece of good engineering given the constraints. I can't say the same about Itunes , especially when you consider that it is in it's 7th edition (who knows how many actual versions?). Itunes proceeded to relocate all my music in folders of it's choosing , especially irksome was the deconstructing of compilation CD's , such as the NOW series , into a folder per track for what is essentially a complation of one hit wonders. Truly aggravating.
I would heartily suggest a few opening prompts when installing iTunes for the first time such as .
a.) Is your record collection already organized by Artist each with his own folder ?
b.) Would you like individual tracks in a unrecognized folder to be deconstructed into multiple folders by Artist or Gendre ?
Windows Media is now a much better product than iTunes... please find a way to interoperate. In the meantime a folder navigation method would be appreciated.

This is a feedback forum, so I'm offering some feedback. I'm simply suggesting that Apple look at giving users of Windows Media the OPTION to have itunes behave in a similar fashion to a program they like and are familiar with ( that's just good business).
Why Apple would choose to replicate a track that I copied in from an original compilation disk to 3 separate locations is beyond me. (That single track is now eating up 3 times the disk space, because it resides in three separate locations.) I have turned off the organisation feature now , but it would have been helpful to warn as late adopters of this quirk, before it started doing it by default. It should be an option to reorganize a person's disk not the default for Windows machines.

  • Im in need of some serious help...

    Im new to using Logic Pro 9 and software for that matter, I need some serious help if there is anyone who can help me. I have a Imac and Logic Pro 9 and I would like to do all of my sequencing and editing here. But I am a dedicated user of hardware but would love to make the intergration of both. So I have 8 external hardware keyboards and sound modules I would like to use and sequence my beats on Logic. I have an Edirol Um 880 midi interface and also a Roland Integra 7 sound module that I am trying to use as my audio interface via USB aswell as use the internal sounds. Im having trouble with the set up and making it all work the way I am intending it to work. I have my keyboards and sound modules connected to the edirol midi interface via midi ofcourse and the usb cable connected to my Imac and the edirol and 8 midi ports show up in logic when I create an external instrament track, but when i choose one of the um880 ports and lets say i choose channel one I get sound but from all 8 of my external devices but should only here one sound per channel coming from that specific midi port not all 8 at the same time. Im doing something wrong. To add more info, my Integra 7 is connected using USB to the Imac also and Im using the audio Ins and Outs of the integra. Now I also have a mixer which all of my keyboards and sound modules are connected for audio and the outs of my mixer is connected to the inputs of my integra 7 to get sound into logic which I am getting sound, I can record and here playback but my problem is being able to seperate the channels to a dedicated track without pressing a key and hearing everything play at once. Also Im not sure(once i fix the first problem) if I sequence my beat in midi and then bounce the midi tracks to audio tracks afterwards to mix and edit each track. Im going wrong somewhere in my set up either in my edirol um 880, or the Integra 7 or in Logic Pro 9 or maybe just all of the above, can anyone help me out, Please. Also Im using OS 10.6.8.

    Have you considered this?
    Local control and MIDI outputting.
    >Learning about Local Control is crucial if you are to make the most of a combined synthesizer/MIDI controller. The term is used to define whether the hardware is in control of its onboard synth; if Local Control is on (default setting) then playing the keys and tweaking the controls will trigger sounds as the synth's patches are activated. With Local control off, pressing keys and adjusting controls will just output MIDI information to the sequencer, which will either trigger sounds within the computer or return to the hardware at whatever MIDI channel is determined by the sequencer (to control the unit itself or an additional MIDI instrument connected to it). Most synthesizer/MIDI controllers do not allow this kind of control as their front panel controls do not output MIDI data, so Local Control off means that only the keyboard can be used for controlling external devices but not the buttons, faders and pots.<
    Have a nice day!

  • I am in need of some serious help with my camera

    I have a new computer and of course I was trying to put my camera (Live! Cam Video IM (VF0220) on this computer.
    I do not have the disk for this camera so I went on the site and tried downloading the driver along with the application for the camera.
    None of these worked whatsoever.
    I was up very late last night dealing with trying to find the right download for this camera to set it up on my computer and none of the drivers or applications that is on the site work for my computer.
    Whenever I try and hook up my camera to the computer, it goes thru that found new hardware wizard thing and of course since I do not have the disk, I can't do this.
    I have downloaded the drives and applications, restarted and restarted my computer several times over and NOTHING has gone right with showing that the thing is set up on my computer.
    Now mind you, it shows in my computer that it is on there, but for some stupid reason, it doesnt want to show that my camera is on cause of course its not wanting or letting it download the camera on here.
    Can someone tell me where can I find the RIGHT DOWNLOAD to hook up my camera so that I can stop looking on other site for the right one?
    I mean cmon, it should have the right one for the camera that I have, but you guys dont seem to have it.
    And please do not tell me to go to that support thing cause I have done that and it aint working whatsoever.
    I have never had a problem with this company whatsoever with your cams much less your microphones cause they have all done me pretty good so far, but this is unbelievable how this is making me get so aggravated today.
    All I need is one simple link to get the right download for my camera.
    If anyone has this camera and does have the download to install it onto your computer, please feel free to share it with someone whose going thru a time with trying to get it on theirs.
    Thanks,
    PMYODB1

    ok well dont uncheck the song just delete the song you dont want from your play list and the song your brother dosent want from his playlist so that if u delete it from the playlist you'll still have the song in the libary but the only time u uncheck and check the songs is when your updating songs onto your ipod and so and so....but still...just make sure for saftey you just delete the songs you dont like from your playlist not from the libabry and checking and unchecking is just temeraly distortion so make u only use it when ur updateing new songs on your ipod or iphone etc.

  • In need of some SERIOUS help

    Ok so I just bought A BB today and was trying to add my mates from overseas but all I get is pending so, I did some reading on various forums and am now more confused than ever, because I've got 10pounds on the phone but can't access BB app world it keeps telling me verify your network connections...well how do I do that ? Even when I try login to Mxit I get network failure.
    Any help would be greatly appreciated
    O and the phone is unlocked its on Orange and is a 9300. Got it from phone4u if that matters
    Solved!
    Go to Solution.

    Have you activated the Blackberry Bolt On from Orange? You will need to do this in order to use BBM, app world email etc. It normally costs circa £5 a month an they take it from your credit.
    You can find details of how to activate the bolt on from either Orange's website or giving them a call.

  • Home Phone Service via Verizon Wireless needs some SERIOUS rethinking!

    Has anyone else signed up for home phone service over Verizon Wireless?
    Here in LA, they offered a $19.99/month deal using the wireless service - a box provides the service, and you plug your home phone in. The service is adequate, but somebody forgot to think about how home phones work. I tried to get my billing set up through my bank, and after getting no notice for three weeks, I got a message in my email box that my bill was delinquent, and I owed a late fee. I had tried to set up the billing via My Verizon, but could never get a password to work. I finally got a phone number to call, and they sent me a new password via text message - to a home phone with no text capabilities. After hearing and seeing nothing for another two weeks, I called again, and they told me they'd sent the message. I had to remind them that this was a home phone - no texts. So they offered to send me a letter with a new password, within 7-10 ten days. It arrived two weeks later, and didn't work. Each of these phone calls took about an hour, and I still didn't have a connection.
    I put the bills (now up to two delinquent cycles) on my credit card, just to bring thins current, and got one more password. This time I called BEFORE trying it, and with the assistance of a more determined tech, got an ID and password combination to work. I can now see my bill. I still don't know if the autopay will work, and I have no idea if there's any way to get a notice that the bill wasn't paid.
    I cancelled my AT&T service because of its cost, but at least its billing worked. Verizon has some serious rethinking to do about how it's billing system works for home users. And they didn't lock me into billing hell for two years.
    The topper is, today, I got a notice from Verizon that I've been delinquent in returning a refurbished instrument I never received, billed to a phone number I don't have. And of course there's no phone number to call to straighten it out. 

        Hello KeyGroupGJ!
    Wow, Im sorry for all the issues you have had with the Home Phone Connect service! I'd really like to assist you. You mentioned that there is no number to call to get this straightened out. No worries, there is no need to call us, since I can reach out to you. Please send me a direct message with your name, your mobile number, and a good contact number for you.

  • Greetings from a Photoshop Newbie. I need a computer, preferably a Mac laptop, with some serious processing power. I take photos with a Pentax 645Z; files are 50MB raw. I upload from Adobe Bridge and manipulate the photo, sometimes turning them into files

    Greetings from a Photoshop Newbie. I need a computer, preferably a Mac laptop, with some serious processing power. I take photos with a Pentax 645Z; files are 50MB raw. I upload from Adobe Bridge and manipulate the photo, sometimes turning them into files in excess of 250MB. I cannot resize as the large files are needed for enlargements. Have all sorts of problems trying to manipulate, add effects and saving most large files. I need some serious processing power. Can anyone suggest what Mac i should purchase? I thank you in advance for your help :-)

    It sounds as if you're having some system-related problems now, unrelated to processing power as such. In particular, a buggy video driver can cause everything to slow to a crawl.
    Medium format files are big, true, but not so big as to cause significant slowdowns on a normally functioning and reasonably current computer. A laptop will always be slower than a well-equipped desktop system, though. Mac vs PC plays no part in this, performance is unrelated to platform.
    Bottlenecks are different in ACR and Photoshop, so that should give you a clue. ACR is computing-intensive and mostly limited by CPU speed. Photoshop, however, is mostly bandwidth-intensive and mainly limited by memory and disk throughput. It's also sensitive to GPU issues.

  • I am having some serious issues with firefox, i can't print anything because it is stuck on fax and I can't use any of the drop down menus on any site

    I am having some serious issues with firefox to the point of choosing another search engine. I can't print anything because it is stuck on fax and won't let me change it to my printer when i do try to select my printer it jumps right back to fax. The drop down menus do not work on any of the sites I go to. For example when purchasing clothes and you have to choose a size from a drop down menu I can't do it when I click on the drop down menu it doesn't work at all. I don't have a virus I ran my virus protector and no viruses are present. I don't have any suspicious issues going on with my computer so there has to be something in Firefox that is causing my issues. I tried internet explorer and I don't have any issues there. I hope you can help me because I love Firefox and would really like to continue to use it.

    Lots of issues there, main one getting fcpx going again, try deleting the preferences using the utility deveoped by these guys.

  • My computer has some serious problems, my iphoto only shows thumb size pics when I try to open them, i tried to rebuild my files from folders that had the pics in them. originally all the photos has a large delta with a question mark. also I can't back up

    my computer has some serious problems, my iphoto only shows  only shows thumb size pics when I try to open them, i tried to rebuild my files from folders that had the pics in them. originally all the photos had a large delta with a question mark. also I can't back up the library file because its not there. I went to time machune and tried to find the file but I can't find it or I am looking in the wrong place. I also lost my Idvd file, only have broken chain showing.

    Details please
    What version of iPhoto and of the OS?
    i tried to rebuild my files from folders that had the pics in them.
    Exactly what did you do and how did you do it? this ay be the cause of your issue but without details we can n=ony guess
    my iphoto only shows  only shows thumb size pics when I try to open them,
    where do you see htis? In the iPhoto window? what does "try to pen them" exactly mean?
    originally all the photos had a large delta with a question mark.
    Ok - this usually has a simple solution - do you still have a copy of the library that has this problem?
    also I can't back up the library file because its not there.
    This makes no sense at all - all of your previous statements indicate that you do have an iPhoto library but have some problems with it
    By default your iPHoto library is located in your Pictures folder and is named iPhtoo library - if tha tis not the case the you have moved or renamed it and only you know what you did until you tell us the details
    I went to time machune and tried to find the file but I can't find it or I am looking in the wrong place.
    Again unless you actually share what and how you are doing thing but continue to simply state abstract problems it is no possible to assist you - details on using Time Machine are here  --  http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1427?viewlocale=en_US&locale=en_US   --     and   --    http://pondini.org/TM/FAQ.html   ---
    I also lost my Idvd file, only have broken chain showing.
    This would be better addressed in the iDVD forum - but again unlesss yu share detailed information no one can assist

  • Some serious problems with Mountain Lion

    Hi everyone,
    I upgraded my mid 2010 15" MBP to Mountain Lion 2 days ago, and I have some serious problems with my machine now.
    - Wifi problem: like many members 's machines, mine has problem to connect to the wifi after sleep or restarting, I had to wait 10 to 15 minutes for it to connected to my home network. Anh I tried to remove all of my settings in System Preferences/Network and added new connection. And now it cant connect to wifi anymore. I'm writing this article while sitting on the floor with my Ethernet cable plugged in my MBP. I connected to internet through a DSL modem and a Airport Extreme as a bridge and Access Point. I also tried to set up all of my network device but my MBP can't connect to the wifi still.
    - Keyboard problem with Pages: I was very happy with the new iCloud syncing for Pages documents but after 5 minutes, I met a big problem with Mountain Lion. Whenever I type in Pages with Vietnames Keyboard( Mac OS X built in or from another developer: http://www.trankynam.com/gotv/ ), Pages stops working immediately. I can still drag the Pages's window around but can't type or do any editing. After that I have to force quit pages. It is really stupid that I'm writing a book in Pages and now I have to stop my working till apple fixes this ridiculous bug. I tried German Keyboard as well and Pages worked flawlessly. Do you hate Vietnamese, Apple?
    - Messages problem: Since upgrading to Mountain Lion I couln't send or receive any messages. It worked perfectly in Messages beta.
    Does anyone have the same problems like me? Any solution such as how to reinstall Messages(I googled but found nothing)
    Apple, please test your software more before release it. I feel like I have no computer at the moment because I can't work, can't surfing the web wirelessly and can't communicate with my friends.

    HI,
    - Messages problem: Since upgrading to Mountain Lion I couldn't send or receive any messages. It worked perfectly in Messages beta.
    Does anyone have the same problems like me? Any solution such as how to reinstall Messages(I googled but found nothing)
    What Messages to what type of Buddies or Contacts ?
    This
    I found out that the problem with my wifi was my MBP received automatically a ridiculous IP such as 169.254.170.0 instead of 192.168.1.4 as it should be.
    WIll be part of the Issue as will be DNS issues.
    mDNSresponder crashed with Handsoff! v1.5.3. After upgrading Handsoff! to v2.0.2, it works again.
    In this case mDNSresponder also being stopped will stop DNS working.
    I would guess if you have resolved these that you can Chat to people again.

  • In need of some help!! my iphone 4s is not letting me take pictures or videos or even use the flashlight, does anyone know what to do??

    In need of some help!! my iphone 4s is not letting me take pictures or videos or even use the flashlight, does anyone know what to do??

    Hello Albert3232,
    It sounds like you cannot use either camera, nor the LED as a camera. I want to recommend a couple of things here.
    First, close all the open and running apps on the phone:
    iOS: Force an app to close
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ht5137
    Double-click the Home button.
    Swipe left or right until you have located the app you wish to close.
    Swipe the app up to close it.
    When you have done that restart the phone:
    iOS: Turning off and on (restarting) and resetting
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1430
    If the issue persists, I would next backup your device to iTunes, and restore it:
    iOS: How to back up and restore your content

    Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.
    All the best,

  • My iPod is up to a 4.1 ios, and it won't update to a 5.1 which I need for some of my apps for school. It keeps saying that my internet connection is bad; but, it works just fine. What do I need to do?

    My iPod is up to a 4.1 ios, and it won't update to a 5.1 which I need for some of my apps for school. It keeps saying that my internet connection is bad; but, it works just fine. What do I need to do?

    If you get a network timeout error, then disabling the computer's security software duirng the download and update usually resovles that error.
    If that is not the error what is the wording of the error message.
    Note that only a 3G or 4G iPod can go to iOS 5.  A 2G iPod can only go to iOS 4.2.1

  • Does anyone know if Apple has any plans to create an electronic medical records (EMR) program? And if not, who do I email to suggest just that as a new market in desperate need of some new innovation?

    Does anyone know if Apple has any plans to create an electronic medical records (EMR) program? And if not, who do I email to suggest just that as a new market in desperate need of some new innovation?

    There already are some tools in the App Store (eg. My Medical - https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/my-medical/id347860026?mt=8).
    If you mean something that would interact directly with a Hospitals main system or such, I don't know of any.  There are numerous companies now selling and setting up central records systems around the country, but I don't know of any that are working on companion patient tools yet.
    Some charity and non-profit companies, like MedicAlert Foundation are working on such things and may have mobile apps on their radar, as funds allow them to develop such thing.  MedicAlert already offers an EMIR service online, but no standalone mobile app for it yet (you manage it via their web portal).
    Epocrates (owned by Athena Health) might also have something in the works, or at least an interest in such a thing.

  • I have the latest Pages  5.2 and get a sign saying "INDEX.pages" can't be opened. I have need of some of the documents. What can i do?

                            I have the latest Pages  5.2 and get a sign saying "INDEX.pages" can't be opened. I have need of some of the documents. What can i do?

    Probably you have 2 versions of Pages on your Mac.
    Pages 5 is in your Applications folder.
    Pages '09/'08 is in your Applications/iWork folder.
    You are alternately opening the wrong versions.
    Pages '09/'08 can not open Pages 5 files and you will get the warning that you need a newer version.
    Older versions of Pages 5 can not open Pages 5.2 files and you will get the warning that you need a newer version.
    Pages 5 can open Pages '09 files but may damage/alter them. It can not open Pages '08 files at all.
    Once opened and saved in Pages 5 the Pages '09 files can not be opened in Pages '09.
    Once opened and saved in Pages 5.2 files can not be opened in Pages 5.
    Anything that is saved to iCloud and opened by newer Pages versions anywhere, is also converted to Pages 5 files.
    All Pages files no matter what version and incompatibility have the same extension .pages.
    Pages 5 files are now only compatible with themselves on a very restricted set of hardware, software and Operating Systems and will not transfer correctly on any other server software than iCloud.
    Apple has removed over 95 features from Pages 5 and added many bugs:

    Archive/trash Pages 5, after exporting all Pages 5 files to Pages '09 or Word .docx, and rate/review it in the App Store, then get back to work.
