Importing Audiobooks with alternative to Track 1, Track 2, Track 3, ...

I have an audiobooks with 7 Disc.
I want to import them with the Track name with Disc 1->1a, 1b, 1c,...., Disc 2->2a, 2b, 2c, 2d, ..., Disc 3->3a, 3b, 3c, 3d...
I do not want to import as (default): Track 1, Track 2, Track 3 for each of the 7 Disc. I am not interested in using Get Info to manually change the Track name. Is there some type of Itunes Add on for Itunes Windows or something to change in the configuration.
Otherwise, is there a program that automates the ID3 Track name renaming and maybe the file name too.
I am sick of importing Audiobooks with several Disc, each with Track 1...X for each Disc.

I wrote a program to help with importing audiobooks and renaming tracks. It doesn't do quite what you want. First, it only names tracks on import -- there's currently no way to rename existing tracks in your Library. Also, the names don't exactly match what you want. Instead, you can do something like: <disc num><track num>, e.g.:
For Disc 1:
0101
0102
0103
For Disc 2
0201
0202
Or you can use letters
01a
01b
01c
02a
02b
The program is free. If you want to try it you can get it here:

The forum TOS requires me to say: "I may receive some form of compensation, financial or otherwise, from my recommendation or link" because I have a paypal donation link on my webpage, but the program is free (donation totally optional).

Since downloading Yosmite on my MAC I have not been able to download photos to LR 5. Error message: "the following files were not imported because they could not be read (335).I have been working with several forums and have dtried going into preference

LR 5 - using it on a MAC-
Error message: "the following files were not imported because they could not be read (335).
I have been working with several forums and have tried all recommendations and none have worked.
I have tried reloading new LR 5 - and it worked for a short time and then stopped.
Very frustrated that I cannot talk with someone at Adobe.
The folks that have made recommendations are great but once their suggestions dont work they drop the link,
Is there someone or someplace I can take my computer to fix this issue.
It seems to be a problem between LR and Yosemite.

The permissions have been changed on the destination folder where the photos are to be copied into.
You must make sure that the permissions are set to Read and Write.
Or perhaps the destination folder has been changed accidentally to something else, and you need to change it back to whatever it used to be.

Importing audiobooks from CD

I'm trying to help my daughter to import a couple of audiobooks from CD into iTunes. I'm used to downloaded audiobooks (mainly from Audible) where an unabridged reading is stored in a small of files (usually from 1-3), each of which is broken up into multiple chapters. Looking at the CDs, though, there are multiple discs (7 or 8) per book, and each disc is broken up into 70-75 tracks, each about a minute long. The sleeve notes list the correspondence between tracks and chapters - some of these span two discs, e.g., the book chapter consists of tracks 50-70 of one disc and tracks 1-10 of the next disc.
I know that iTunes allows tracks can be merged on import, so in this example I could select the tracks that make up each chapter to merge and import these as one file. I've never used this, though, and have a couple of questions:
After import, are the original CD track boundaries recognized within the resulting files, i.e., is it possible to skip forward or backward based on the original tracking?
Is there any way to create one file that merges tracks from two different CDs?
I'm assuming that the answer to the second question in no, so that I'll end up with several pairings of tracks Chapter X, Part 1 + Chapter X, Part 2.
Given that iTunes doesn't seem to have all the capabilities needed to convert from CD to "Audible-like" audiobook files, are there any third party utilities (preferably free!!) that can do the job better? Do any such utilities use existing audio files, as opposed to CD tracks, as input?

Thanks - useful info (as always), though it doesn't address the specifics of converting a multi-disc, many-short-tracks CD set to a much smaller set of longer files. So far I'm just working with what iTunes gives me and will end up with 21 files averaging 24-25 minutes rather than nearly 500 one-minute tracks ... this is good enough for immediate purposes, though I'd still like an ability to convert sources like this to "real" audiobooks.

Print a JTable with several Header and Footers

Hi everybody,
my name is Lothar and I come from Germany. My english is not very well, but I hope you understand me an my problem.
I want to print a JTable, but I want to print a header with several headers and footers.
For example:
h3. Header
h5. 1. Subtitle
h5. 2. Subtitle
Table
h5. 3. Subtitle
h5. Footer
But, I do not know how I can do that. Can anybody tell me, how I can solve my problem. Please, explain for a newbie because I have learned Java since two months ;)
Here the code:
import java.awt.*;
import java.awt.event.*;
import java.text.*;
import java.util.Date;
import javax.swing.*;
public class Beispiel extends JFrame implements ActionListener {
    private JTable table;
    public static void main(String[] args) {
        Beispiel tl = new Beispiel();
        tl.setVisible(true);
        tl.pack();
    public Beispiel() {
        setLayout(new BorderLayout());
        // DruckButton
        JButton print = new JButton("Print");
        add(print, BorderLayout.SOUTH);
        print.addActionListener(this);
        // Tabelle
        add(new JScrollPane(createTable()), BorderLayout.CENTER);
        // schließt das Frame
        setDefaultCloseOperation(JFrame.EXIT_ON_CLOSE);
    public JTable createTable() {
        // titel
        String[] title = new String[] { "Datum", "Von", "Bis",
                "Dauerinsgesamt", "Bemerkung" };
        // daten
        String[][] data = new String[][] { { "", "", "", "", "" },
        table = new JTable(data, title);
        table.setAutoResizeMode(JTable.AUTO_RESIZE_OFF);
        return table;
    public void actionPerformed(ActionEvent e1) {
        MessageFormat header = new MessageFormat("Header");
        MessageFormat footer = new MessageFormat("Footer");
        try {
            table.print(JTable.PrintMode.FIT_WIDTH, header, footer);
        } catch (Exception e2) {
            System.err.format("Cannot print %s%n", e2.getMessage());
}

Imported mpeg with asynchronous audio

Hello together,
i've got a little problem while creating a film for my brother.
I captured some old family videos with my video card and the software i used saved them as mpeg 2, with variable bitrate in video and constant bitrate in audio which is mp2. This video is playing properly in media player classic and vlc.
After importing one of these files i found out that audio and video are asynchronous playing in the preview video.
I looked into the elements help about this issue but there only was the hint to change the file format to avi. They do not tell which kind of avi i should use.
So, not knowing which file format to use i tried a lot with different containers, different video codecs and different audio codecs... I think it was about 20 or 25 different combinations from h263, h264, divx, xvid, flash, wmv7/8/9, mpeg2, DV, theora and so on. I used avi, mpg, mp4, mov, ogg and wmv as containers.
Half of these outputs were alreday asynchonous with the normal video playing software and the other half was asynchronous in PRE 9.
Has anyone got an idea what i could try? Is there a format combination that will work properly? Or can i change something in my source mpg to play properly?
Thanks in advance,
Norman Maehler

I did not know that it could capture to DV-AVI, but i cannot capture all files again, because its 20 hours of movie and it should be a present for my brother to his birthday which is already over... Besides i have to stay at the player because the video is quite old an broken at some times...
Next time i will try to use the DV-AVI.
But why can PRE import mpeg2 films while it cannot handle them properly? They are not asynchonous, because the can be played perfectly in sync with several media players?!
I converted one mpeg2 file to DV-AVI and imported it into PRE. There now the audio is quite good, but the video is too fast and makes some loops while playing in PRE. My media players are playing the file perfectly again...
By the way: I am using mencoder behind the Super-Gui to reencode my Video-Files if that may help?
Edit: @ nealeh It did not give me the choice for DV-AVI, because i was not recording from DV-Camcorder...
Edit2: Now with Avi container, DV-VIDEO as Video Codec and WAV-(pcm 16 little-endian) as audio codec the file is 5 times larger than before but it works

Shuffle issues involving imported audiobooks

I am seeking some advice about an issue with the shuffle feature. I have imported my own audiobooks and created a playlist for each one. I have the shuffle feature turned off (shuffle arrows are grey, not blue), but the IPod keeps shuffling them anyway. I already went to the shuffle tab, while I was in the playlist, and made sure it was off. ITunes will keep the playlist in order, but the IPod doesnt want to do it. Second issue, is there an EASY way to transfer imported audiobooks into the Audiobooks folder? Any help is appreciated.

I too have had problems importing audio books. When shuffle was on the iPod was shuffling the chapters along with music tacks. I followed the advice above and changed the genre and clicked the skip when shuffling option. Shuffle is now OK but when accessing the audio book on the iPod the books are no longer books. When playing them on the iPod they no longer appear as CDSs. ie multiple CD books appear in the order CD1 track 1, CD2 Track 1, CD3 Track 1, any idea what I have done wrong?
You've done nothing wrong, it's just the way the Audiobooks section on the iPod has been designed...
With iTunes 8.x you have the option to tell iTunes to treat any audio file as an audiobook. Simply select the tracks, *Get Info.*, then on the options tab set *Media kind* to Audiobook. You can also set options to *Remember playback position* and *Skip when shuffling*.
Assuming, however, that the books consist of more than one file you may have problems if you plan to listen to them on an iPod. The Audiobooks feature was originally designed for books that have been stitched up into a single file and hasn't been updated to reflect the changes that now make multi-track audiobooks easy to work with in iTunes. The main issue is that the iPod lists all audiobook files by track title/chapter name so unless you rename every track using a scheme such as *Book Title, Chapter XX* the tracks will play out of sequence. There are tools for creating iPod-friendly audiobooks for which Aldo on Audiobooks is probably the best reference. Personally I don't bother with the extra effort and just have an "Audiobooks" playlist folder containing sub-folders for each author and within these playlists for each audiobook. Although I still mark the files as Audiobooks to keep them out of my main music section when it comes to the iPod I ignore it's Audiobooks feature and use my own playlists for access.
Note that I've used leading digits in the playlist names to arrange these in chronological rather than alphabetical order.

How to import Audiobooks from MacBook to Ipad2

How to import AudioBooks from Macbook OS 10.4.1 onto an Ipad2?
I have many audiobooks which I am currently attempting to have re-loaded via the Apple Support network and have requested that these Audiobooks purchased in good faith between 2008 - 2009 be made available for download on our recently purchased Ipad2 via ITunes. This download procedure has worked very well for the 18 songs purchased in the same period. However, I have followed a discussion on the Apple Support community by TASA posted on the Nov 13 2011 and have made a similar polite request to the Apple Support afficionados, so far with no success. My question is this How can i transfer the Audiobook files which appear as m4b across to the Ipad2. I cannot sync the MacBook because the operating system is a mismatch. Attempting to use a camera connection kit by Apple and using an SD card to copy a single audi file has not worked. What other recourse of action is there?
It is all very well suggesting that Audiobooks can only be downloaded once, as has been mentioned by a discussion pundit. However this was not in the Terms and Conditions from 2008, of which I have a copy.

Back in 2008 all media purchases from the iTunes Store were subject to a one time only download policy. iTunes would have regularly reminded you to backup your purchases unless you chose to suppress such messages.
With your audiobooks in an iTunes library you can take the opportunity to make secondary backup copies now on removable media or networked storage.
I don't understand what you mean by this:
I cannot sync the MacBook because the operating system is a mismatch.
If you download and install the latest version of iTunes to your computer it should be capable of communicating with the device and will let you copy the audiobook files across. If the iPad is set up to sync with a different library/computer then copy the audiobook files to that. If your iPad is not set to sync with any library, and your concern is that you will lose data if you attempt to associate it with the library on your computer then this method should work for you...
You should be able to:
Backup the device to the new installation
Transfer your purchases into a newly authorized library
Recover any other media using third party tools as suggested in this post from forum regular Zevoneer
Restore the device from the backup
This process should switch the association of the device to the new library, preserving the data and settings in your apps.
May also be prudent to attempt a backup to iCloud directly from the device before you start... Settings > iCloud > Storage & Backup > iCloud Backup > On. It won't save any media but it would preserve the general account settings and documents in case anything goes wrong while you are trying to extract your other data.

Imported Songs with high time numbers

I have a new cd drive. When importing cd's now, the "time" listed is around 789 minutes. When I click on one of these songs, it skips over them and goes to the first "normal" timed song. Help!

Imported songs from CD have incorrect time. 5 of 12 songs were incorrect. When I insert the CD, the display times are all shown correctly. After import, the listing in my library is incorrect. The time is way off for these five songs (e.g.5:48 vs 789:57:13). I've tried modifying the stop time under get info options tab, but the library time remains incorrect. I've tried importing the CD several times with the same result.

I have one folder with several projects all of which Aperure can not find the original. I do not use referenced files. I can't make any adjustments like cropping etc. What can I do to print any of these photos?

I have one folder with several projects all of which Aperure can not find the original. I do not use referenced files.

My Aperture Library is automatically saved to two external drives.

I have one folder with several projects all of which Aperure can not find the original.
Have you checked inside your Aperture library, if the original files are still there?
Try to find out, when the images in those projects have been originally imported, then open the Aperture library by ctrl-clicking it and using the command "Show package contents" from the pop-up menu. In the window that will open, select the folder "Masters" and browse the contents. You need to find the subfolder with the year you imported the images, then the folders with the month and the day.
Are your original files still there?
If yes, copy them to a folder on your desktop for safe-keeping, and then try, if repairing the permissions and the other Furst Aid tools will help Aperture to connect to these missing files again - see this link: Repairing and Rebuilding Your Aperture Library: Aperture 3 User Manual
If the First Aid Tools don't help, then check, if Aperture has moved the missing images to a "recovered folder". If not, reimport the images, you saved to your Desktop and use the Lift&Stamp tool to transfer any adjustment and captions to your reimported images.

Changing imported image with layers to movie clip

Yes I have imported an .ai file into flash with several
layers on it. When I then converted it to a movie symbol it
flattened all the layers down. How can I convert it and keep the
layers editable?

They are editable, just within the movie clip. Double click
it either on the stage or in the library.

Imported png with transparency not working as mask

I created an image with several wavey lines in photoshop to
use as a mask layer in Flash. I "save for web" as a png with
transparency. I import it to Flash and when it is on the stage it
is indeed transparent. But when I go to use it as a mask it masks
the entire rectangle of its dimensions, not just the waves. I trade
breaking it down and converting it to a symbol but no go. What am I
missing here?

Images are rectangle or square, even if you have transparency
or not, the entire image will be a mask.
The way you must work is usign vectorial shape as mask. You
can do it directly in Flash or use illustrator to build you shape
and then import it in Flash "Copy paste or export as swf". I know
that you have several wavey lines in photoshop. So, to keep them,
you have 3 possibilities.
1- Simply use path in Photoshop and export them into
Illustrator set them a color and use it in Flash
or
2- Import your image in Flash, then use the Trace Bitmap
option (Modify / Bitmap / Trace Bitmap)
or
3- Import you PNG in Illustrator and Convert it into shape
usign the Live Trace option.
These 3 way works great, depending on the complexity of you
graphics, each one have its own advantages

IPhoto imports photos with wrong dates even if the dates are fine on the camera

Hi!
When I import photos with iPhoto, sometimes it imports them with wrong dates, even the dates are fine on the camera. It puts dates such as 2032. Does anyone know how can I fix that. As far as I know there is no way to change dates of the photos.
Thanks!

well that is very confusing since if the date is correct on the camera it will be correct in iPhoto
and as to
As far as I know there is no way to change dates of the photos.
Try looking through your iPhto menus - two commands - adjust time and date and batch change time and date - asjust is used to correct incorrect dates like a comera setting - Batch change for missing dates like with scans
