Import date added

hi all,
i just bought a new macbook and after i imported all of my songs from my old windows itunes library, i lost all of the dates added. i'd love to be able to import the dates along with the songs but have not found a way. please help. thanks.

Hi, Mick,
so I manually relocated all my music to outside my
home directory and that way I could just back up my
home directory in one place and copy it across to the
other as needed. I then somehow managed to point
Your situation sounds a little different than Terin's, because Terin wanted to migrate his whole music library (meaning his music files and his iTunes Library file, which is iTunes' catalog--the terminology around iTunes libraries is a little confusing) to a new User on a new machine. You wanted to move your music files to a new location, but it would be the same User (and thus, the same iTunes Library file) that would make use of those music files. However, both of you needed the library file to know the current location of the relocated music files while leaving all the other information in the library file, including Date Added, intact.
Anyway, Apple provide details of moving your iTunes
music library:
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=301748
Yes, that procedure would have maintained the relationship between the catalog, i.e., the iTunes Library file, and the music files as the music files were being moved to their new location. Instead, when you added or imported the relocated music files to iTunes, the library file thought they were brand new entries.
I'd like to be able to tell Apple that actually
moving, instead copying and then deleting, the
library can be a useful and practical feature
request. However I can't see them spending the time
The copying step does provide a safeguard against a catastrophic loss of files during a big file moving process, so I can't see Apple getting away from that.
Even though it seems editing these dates is
impossible from within iTunes, at the end of the day
these are just files that needs modifying. I was kind
of hoping that there was some scriptable file editor
out there (hexedit?) that could be programmed up to
read the unix creation date and somehow jam it into
the music file's Date Added field. That info may very
well be meta-data and so I'm probably way out of my
league here.
The Date Added indeed is metadata, and it's contained within the iTunes Library file. It may also be stored with the music file itself, but iTunes relies on its library file, which has a richer set of available metadata fields, and I think the iTunes Library file's value would override (probably should say overwrite) whatever is in the music file. No doubt, theoretically there's a way to do what you describe, either directly to the library file or through the iTunes Music Library.xml file, but that definitely is way out of my league.
Sorry I can't come up with a good answer for you.

"Date Added" gets reset when importing iTunes library

I have recently made the switch from a PC to a MacBook. I copied my previous iTunes Music Library.xml file over and followed the Apple instructions to import all my music ratings, playcounts, etc. in to the new iTunes library (deleting the iTunes Library.itl file and importing the old library through Library>Import Playlist). Everything copied over fine except the "Date Added," which resets to today's date. I also tried copy & pasting the old library text into the new iTunes Library.xml file, and it still reset itself once I opened iTunes. I have used this process before in switching to a new PC and it kept the "Date Added" information.
Does anyone know if this is an issue with the new versions of iTunes? The version is 8.0.2. Or is it an issue with switching from PC to Mac? More importantly, does anyone have any ideas on how to keep my "Date Added"? I use it regularly for sorting music and for Smart Playlists.
Any help would be appreciated!

I'll second the question! I just moved my music from my MBP to my new iMac, and the date added is today's date for all of the songs from my library on my MBP. Please post if you find answer redhead828. Thanks!

"Date Added" sort order problem when importing folders

I sort by "Date Added" to view my iTunes library, and use the middle "view" button to view tracks grouped as albums with artwork. This works mighty well except when I'm importing folders containing the files in an album, such as those I get from eMusic--the tracks are displayed out of order when I do this. The only solution I've found so far is to import one track at a time. Any ideas how I can get those tracks in there in the right order when importing a folder? Any scripts hanging around that will do it right? Thanks to all....

What sort order do you have selecting in the sort drop-down? There is no "correct" sort order. You can sort on any metadata you can show in the Browser. The sort drop-down is located in the top border of the Browser, near the left corner. Every container in Aperture retains the sort order it last had. When you manually move an Image in the Browser, the sort order is changed to "Manual".

Import tracks in album order when viewing by Date Added

I've seen some older posts regarding this, but nothing recently. Here's my issue, and I can't believe more people aren't up in arms about it:
I keep iTunes sorted by Date Added, so that my latest stuff is at the top -- pretty normal for a music listener, right?
Say I have a folder of mp3s and I drag them into iTunes. For a long time in years past, even though you're dragging the entire album in, they would just get added in the order that iTunes wanted, rather than in album order. Then, at some point recently, I assume after an update to iTunes (?), they magically started being added in the correct order. I was really happy about this, as the random order entire albums were added in was extremely annoying.
Now something's happened and the old behavior is back.
Does anyone know how to drag an album's worth of mp3s into iTunes and have iTunes load them in in *album* order, so that when you view by Date Added, they show your album as it would look on the back of a cd or whatever, in the correct order?

This won't directly answer your question, but I find that if I make a playlist of the album, then they appear in the correct order in that playlist.

Extra column to be added while importing data from flat file to SQL Server

I have 3 flat files with only one column in a table.
The file names are bars, mounds & mini-bars.
Table 'prd_type' has columns 'typeid' & 'typename' where typeid is auto-incremented and typename is bars, mounds & mini-bars.
I Import data from 3 files to prd_details table. This table has columns 'pid', 'typeid' & 'pname' where pid is auto-incremented and pname is mapped to flat files and get info from them, now i wanted the typeid info to be received from prd_type table.
Can someone please suggest me on this?

You can get it as follows
Assuming you've three separate data flow tasks for three files you can do this
1. Add a new column to pipeline using derived column transformation and hardcode it to bars, mounds or mini-bars depending on the source
2. Add a look task based on prd_type table. use query as
SELECT typeid,typename
FROM prd_type
Use full cache option
Add lookup based on derived column. new column -> prd_type.typename relationship. Select typeid as output column
3. In the final OLEDB destination task map the typeid column to tables typeid column.
In case you use single data flow task you need to include a logic based on filename or something to get the hardcoded type value as bars, mounds or mini-bars in the data pipeline

How can I import data in to the digital word generator in Multisim?

How can I import data in to the digital word generator in Multisim?
I just received this comment from a friend, a RADAR engineer, who has just down loaded Multisim. He has been using HP/Agilent software. He has a work around using a piecewise linear voltage waveform with data imported from Excel but this is not really a good solution. It would also be helpful to import data from Mathcad or equivalent.
"I thought I was about to be impressed with MultiSim but it ended only in disappointment. There is a word generator in the simulation instrument panel which can drive the DAC with a waveform and it can have thousands of lines of values. I opened Excel, wrote the formula to generate the time and voltage points for a chirp, converted to DAC values in Hex and then went back to the word generator in MultiSim to load the values only to find that you have to enter each value manually. It doesn’t even allow you to paste in a list of values from a text file. I’m not going to type 5000 values by hand. If you get the chance to give feedback to National Instruments please ask them if the paste option can be added to the word generator. MultiSim is useful in many regards, but in this case, it left me with the impression that it is considerably limited in capability compared to what I’m used to."

Hi,
You can load your data automatically in the Multisim word generator. Follow these steps:
- Save your data file (in excel .xslx ir .csv format) on your computer
- Change the extension of the file to ".dp"
- Double-click the word generator in Multisim and click on Set...
- In the Settings dialog box, click on Load and then Accept
- This will prompt you to select the .dp file you have on your computer, select it and you're good to go
However, in Multisim you have the option of creating your own custom simulation analysis and instrument.
I will try creating the instrument and send it back to you but it might take some time.
Multisim and LabVIEW are very powerful in test automation, with the custom instruments you create for Multisim you don't need to export your data file into excel from LabVIEW (or MathCAD or other tools) and then reload it into Multisim. The test procedure is automated instead.
Please check this reference design about automated simulation
http://zone.ni.com/devzone/cda/tut/p/id/7825
Here is how you can create your own custom measurement tool in Multisim and LabVIEW, but as I mentioned, I will create the word generator and come back to you anyways

Got a new Mac, my iTunes is whack, (No Play Count or Date Added)

Hello, everybody. It's been a rough night.
I currently own a G4 iMac and I just got a brand new Macbook. The Macbook is very nice, it's extremely speedy and I am sure I will grow to love it. We've got just one hurdle to get through together: the organization of my music in iTunes. Now, I've had the iMac for five years, and not long after I got it adding music to it became something of an importance, it was my music player. Over the past five years I've not only added thousands of songs, but meticulously and very specifically organized them into playlists based on the number of spins they have and when they were added. To a lot of people I know this sort of thing isn't a huge deal, but for me this organization became, and I kid you not, a huge, huge part of my life.
So I get the new Macbook, fire it up and use Migration Assistant, (with the iMac in Target Disk Mode), to move my data over. When it's done I open the iTunes and am greeted with... nothing. Well, okay, all of my music is there, that's nice, (it's what iTunes is for, etc etc), but NONE of my play count or date added information remains. I weep inside.
Being that this is my first new computer in five years, (a long time!), you might be able to tell that I was hesitant about upgrading. Before getting my Macbook I asked experts at the Apple Store if this method would work, and even received assurance from several people online that everything would be preserved. So, I did my homework, but my Macs and I both apparently failed the test. Here's where we are now:
1. The iMac, (running Tiger), still has iTunes on it, with all the information, nothing seems to have changed on that end.
2. The Macbook has a hard drive full of music with no playlist, play count or date added data.
3. I do own an iPod where I backed up the music before the move. I know that the data information on playlists, play count and date added is on the iPod. I do not dare plug it in to the new machine for fear of the unknown.
Which brings me here, is there some way, any way of rectifying this? Here is what I would like:
1. For the Macbook iTunes to look EXACTLY like the iMac's does.
2. For it to work with both my old iPods without question.
This has been long, and I fear that some may pass it over as something too much of an banality to be needed help with. But like some collect shoes or hats, I collect music. It's a lovely collection and it's a large part of who I am. I could start all over, but that's sort of like saying the world could start over if it by chance happened to forget how to turn. It would take a lot of effort, and there would be some (more) tears, but I could move on. But I really, really don't want to. I just want things to be the way they were. I'd very much like to have this information present, and I thank you all for your time.

ADDED:
Now that I look at it, appears that nothing except for my applications transferred over. My old computer is listed in the Hard Drive, but I can't access any of the folders because I don't have that "level of privileges" or whatever, (odd, considering they're both my computers, do they need to be hooked up for this?). I don't really need for my old applications to be there, (Hello, iWork '06 Demo!), so can I just go and erase them, or am I better just starting all over again?

I want to retain my itunes 'date added' information when transferring to my new macbook pro

Hello There
I think even before I ask this, that I know what the answer will be, so please don't laugh at me, just sympathise..
I have a lot of music. A lot. So much I need to use the date added to keep it all organised and know where I am. Previously I used a computer from work for everything, but just got a shiny new macbook pro - woo hoo!
First thing I did was transfer my itunes library. I use a HD so pretty easy, simply hold down the option key whilst starting itunes, select the library on my HD and wallop, off we go. After a few minutes of chugging all my music is there and my playlists. Fantastic I thought, but then hold on - date added says today. This can't be right I say to myself, some of these files were added in 2008...
Being slightly paranoid about doing this I created a copy of my old itunes library - better safe than sorry. I open the old back up of itune library (an xml file) and sure enough, all the correct dates are there. I open up the new one and it says everything was imported today. Weird. So I try reimporting -doesn't work, overwriting the new xml file with the old info, saving and opening itunes again - no sir. Nothing works. It appears that whilst I can interact with the xml file, itunes uses another file (itunes document) which checks consistency, and won't allow the xml file info to overwrite, simply rehashes to the dates it thinks are right.
Done a fair bit of research and I think the answer is there is not an answer. Being the wise old owl that apple is, it has decided that users will not want this information if they ever move or buy new computers, so while it will keep your playlists, it won't have this bit of info. My only option has been to create spreadsheets of old list for reference.
I'm hoping out there someone will tell me that apple have realised this is rubbish and have fixed, or will say fret no longer, here is the magic workaround, but I haven't found anyone who can yet. Does anyone have the answer?
Until then, I will continue to perform this awkward workaround and stick pins into the apple voodoo doll.
Cheers
Mr Sherlock

weird very weird. today i did this again today after already being unsuccessful earlier. exactly the same thing as i have done before, exactly. didn't try to import. didn't say damaged library, copied everything in including date. have tried it about 10 times no luck. today it just worked.
how weird is that?
oh well JG - maybe you mixed a magic potion for me?
anyway, thank you for all the help.
to anyone else reading this all i can say is keep trying, you never know. follow the above advice. you may feel exasperated and think you have done it already, but keep trying.
cheers

How can I import data in an interactive PDF?

Hello everyone,
I'm trying to import data (in this case, price lists created in Excel) in a PDF that needs be interactive; The goal is to actually make up a document (in InDesign) using form fields, and then have that data imported in the form fields, but the generated PDF has to be interactive. What I'm trying to achieve is that my sales people have a pdf, where they can generate a price estimate based on the number of products they wanna order. Is this achievable at all?

Yes, very much so. The form fields can be added in InDesign or in Acrobat
(I prefer the latter), and the data can be imported in Acrobat as well. The
Excel file needs to have the following structure for it to work: Fields
names in the first row and their data in the second. Then you save it as a
tab-delimited text file and import it in Acrobat via Tools - Forms - More
Form Options - Import Data.

Hi Smash126,
Based on the error message” Could not allocate a new page for database REPORTING' because of insufficient disk space in filegroup 'PRIMARY'. Create the necessary space by dropping objects in the filegroup, adding additional files to the filegroup, or setting
autogrowth on for existing files in the filegroup”, we can know that the issue is caused by the there is no sufficient disk space in filegroup 'PRIMARY' for the ‘REPORTING’ database.
To fix this issue, we can add additional files to the filegroup by add a new file to the PRIMARY filegroup on Files page, or setting Autogrowth on for existing files in the filegroup to increase the necessary space.
The following document about Add Data or Log Files to a Database is for your reference:

How do I transfer "date added" from one iTunes library to another?

I recently transfered my iTunes library from one Mac to another w/ no problem, however all of the dates in the date added column show the date of the library transfer and not the original date the music was imported into iTunes. Is there any way to retrieve or preserve the original dates? I know, not a "real' problem, but a concern for me nonetheless.
Thanks to anyone who can help.

Import data of business partner with elm

Hi,
when I create a business partner, I have to fill out some mandatory fields.
Mandatory fields (SAP CRM standard fields):
name, street, house no, postal code, city
Mandatory field (field which created by us):
searchterm
I want to import data of business partner with elm. In the first step I want create a mapping format only with the mandatory fields. At this point, I get a problem. I can select all mandatory fields in the mapping field, but not the self created mandatory field u201Csearchtermu201D.
Do somebody know, what I have to do that the self created field stands in the mapping format for selection?
Thank you in advance!
Best regards
Jasmin Hauser

Hi Jasmin,
The following is the procedure to use the ELM functionality in CRM 2007:
a) Store .csv file on local machine or SAP directory (Line1 will be your field name to map for the first time)
b) Activate Work Flows in tcode: OOCU (check building block c22)
c) Enhance BADI - CRM_MKTLIST_BADI, structure CRM_MKTLIST_PER_EXT with "Z" custom fields (note this BADI is filter dependent, which means - the mapping formats created needs to be added in this BADI to function)
d) Define List type and Origin in customizing (SPRO-CRM-MKT-ELM)
e) Create Mapping Format (WEBUI -> MKT_Professional business role)
f) Add Mapping Format to BADI (CRM_MKTLIST_BADI)(tcode-se19. Note: Deactivate the BADI before adding Mapping Format and Activate BADI again)
g) Implement SAP Note: 915015 to create the ELM Members in business partner role "Prospect"
h) Create the External List (WEBUI->MKT_Professional business role). Use the mapping format created, make sure that your .csv file don't not have the fields name, data to upload should be in the same order as mapping format fields)

the problems were when I try to import table with noninteger numbers with modal part separated by comma not by dot
comma is the standard separator for columns in CSV file
so I must change the standard separator to semicolon
then the import wizard have problem to correct recognize the columns data because it use only standard CSV comma separator :-/
In SQL Developer 1.5.3 Tools -> Preferences -> Migration -> Data Move Options
I change "End of Column Delimiter" to ; but it doens't work
Is this possible to change the standard column separator for import data wizzard in SQL Developer 1.5.3?
Or maybe someone know how to import data in SQL Developer 1.5.3 from CSV when CSV colunn separator is set to semicolon?

A new preference has been added to customize the import delimiter in main code line. This should be available as part of future release.

Error in import data

in oracle enterprise console(login to the Oracle Management Server), when I use the wizard to import data, there is error in reading the import file(I use csv file).
the error msg is:
VNI-2015: The Node preferred credentials for the target node are either invalid or do not have sufficient privileges to complete the operation.
On Windows platforms, the Node credentials specified for the Windows target should have the "Logon as a batch job" privilege.
I don't know where to set the "Logon as a batch job", I only see the "Preferred Credentials" Tab in the menu of Configuration\preferences.
anybody can help me? thanks in advance

Hi
What you can do is to check that the OS user submitting the job through OEM console is a local user on the database server and not a domain user. If the user is a domain user then your job submission will fail with VNI-2015 Authentication Failure. I have encountered this situation many times because of the same reason: the credentials for the node user were wrong.
When adding local user on the database server - it has to be nodename\username and not domain_name\username. Assign log on as batch job and Administrator rights to the local user. This should fix the problem. May be you can check file permissions for the backup directories too
Hope this helps
Thank You
