Import Folder With Songs Without Show Them In Albums

Good day to you all
I have 2 qustions i would like to ask ( sorry about my english)
1. I have a folder i made on my desktop with many songs from lots of artists. i want to make a playlist with all of this songs. i can drag all of them to the playlist i made but i don't want them to show in the albums or artists view. is there a way to do it ? i can change the info of the songs to have the same album name and VA artists name so i have only one album but i can only do this in itunes and i don't want to import the folder the itunes beacuse i don't want to have a mess.
2. when i play a song i have on my desktop it's automaticly had the song to itunes album and artist view - is there a way to disable it?
thanks

1) The moment you import the songs in iTunes, they will show up in album or artist view, no way to get around that. Why would you want that?
" i don't want to import the folder the itunes beacuse i don't want to have a mess."
You won't make a mess if you do it like this:
- make a new playlist, name it.
- open your folder on your desktop in a finder window, and select all songs (command + A)
- drag these songs into this playlist, iTunes will add them to your library.
- in iTunes, rename the appropriate ID3 tags by selecting what belongs together (as I understand, everything, so again command + A), Get Info (Command + I ) or rightclick, edit the ID3tags, and press enter.
2) This is default normal behaviour. If a song is playable with iTunes, it will automatically launch iTunes when you double click it, and imported into your library.
If you do not want this, you want to open a song with another application, you can change the default app.
In the finder select a song from your folder, Get Info (command + I)
There you have:
Open with: iTunes (default)
Use the arrows to select another app to open it with
and then press "Change All"
From now on your music files will open in this other app by default if you click them.
(Note: you have to repeat this process for each different file format extentions, like mp3, AAC, wav, ...)
If you don't want that either, you just want to temporarily listen without importing them, you can always use the preview function, by selecting the file, and hitting the spacebar. This will open the file in a preview mode.
With the arrows up or down you can go immediately to the previous or the next file without leaving preview mode.
Hope that helps, good luck.

Is there any way that I can have songs in an iTunes Playlist without having the songs play in my regular music list. For instance: can I have a Playlist of Christmas songs without having them play in the routine shuffle of my music library? Thanks -Rog

Select the songs, press CTRL+I to Get Info, on the Options tab set Skip when shuffling to Yes.
If you want to the hide the songs from your main music view you could consider changing the media kind to audiobooks or podcasts if you don't mind the side effect of them showing up there instead.

My old PC died but hard drive is still functional. Purchased new PC and downloaded latest iTunes but attempts to transfer folder with songs from old hard disk to new computer failed. Only 20 of approx 300 songs transferred ??

My old PC died but the hard drive is still functional and accessible using a USB extraction device. I purchased a new PC and downloaded the latest iTunes but attempts to transfer the iTunes folder with songs from the old hard drive to my new computer failed. Only 20 of approx 300 songs transferred. All other non music file transfers (WORD, EXCEL, etc) from the old hard drive to the new computer were successful. Is this a file type issue? Any thoughts?? THANKS!

Hello errod2014,
It sounds like you are unable to see your phone in iTunes after the computer turned off unexpectedly during an iOS update. I recommend resetting the phone first, and then attempting to restore with iTunes again.
To reset, press and hold both the Sleep/Wake and Home buttons for at least 10 seconds, until you see the Apple logo.
From: Turn your iOS device off and on (restart) and reset

If you are still unable to see your phone in iTunes, follow these steps for Mac or these for Windows.
Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.
Take care,

Well, if the internal hard drive is no longer readable, there's pretty much nothing anyone here can do about it. There are no magic words that will fix a hardware problem.
Make an appointment at the genius bar and have it looked at.

Try turning off GPU support in your Photoshop's preferences performance section. Also check that you have installed the latest device driver installed for your GT 970 adapter and that all CS6 updates are installed... Your CS6 should be version 13.0.1.3....

Copy Folder with Joins. Export/Import Folder with joins. In EUL.

Ok, I've got a custom folder which has been made up by dragging items from 2 or 3 other folders into it.
It then has some joins of it's own, quite a few.
When trying to create a workbook from it, it takes 9 mins to run a query.
I need to work out what is slowing it down. If I create the same workbook against the folder which has the majority of the items in the custom folder, it runs instantly.
So I suspect it is one of the joins causing it.
My plan was to duplicate the folder, then remove joins until I find out which one is causing it.
However, if I cut n paste the folder, I get a copy without the joins.
If I export the folder and import it I get a copy without the joins.
Question then - how can I get a copy of a folder WITH the joins ?
I'm slightly concerned that when I export my EUL from the dev database and import it into the live database that I'm not going to get any joins since the export and import into the dev database is not retaining the joins.
Anyone ?

Hi,
The preferences for Disco Plus are set in the pref.txt file on the apps server and for Disco Desktop in the Windows Registry. I think the defaults are set on so unless you have changed them this is unlikely to help.
I think I read somewhere that the 11g optimiser will remove unused outer joins or where there is a foreign key constraint. I may have made that last bit up as I cannot find a reference to it, but it may be worth exploring.
To speed things up you could look at why this join is slowing things down. It could be that you need an index on the join column.
The join actually is used, in that it has to check in the other table that a record exists. This is why Discoverer cannot remove the join from the complex folder query. If it did and there where no matching records in the other table then you would get a different result.

How to make a DVD video with iDVD without using themes

How can I record my DVD without using iDVD themes. I do not care about the selections. I just want a simple slide show showing only photos.

Hello puzzledbon,
Than you for the question. You can make a OneStep DVD from a movie to avoid adding a theme to you DVD. Before you can do that, you will have to create your slideshow and export it in iPhoto.
Use the steps in the section titled "Make a saved slideshow" in the following article to create a slideshow in iPhoto '11:

Associating artwork with songs without embedding images in song files

Is it possible to associate artwork with songs in iTunes without embedding images in song files?
I'd like to see album covers in iTunes but don't want to waste the storage space on my iPod.
Thanks

You can add your own artwork (for covers iTunes does not get) to coverflow wihtout embedding it into the ID3 tags.
See this -> http://www.macosxhints.com/article.php?story=2006100111071871
I haven't tried it yet but others have had success.

Combining individual songs to show as 1 album in cover flow

I'm manually going through my iTunes library filling in missing album artwork. I haven't really used cover flow because of the fact that I had so few albums that autofilled with album artwork. But I'd like to now, I noticed that a lot of my albums aren't "linked" together as a album and show up individually as their own album. I'll use the Malt Shop Memories set as an example. It's a 10 disc set of oldies that I changed "info" for across the whole album (one disc at a time) I pasted in the album artwork, set disc number, total number of discs, set Album name, and set the genre. Now when I click on the tab to view the library in grouped it shows the album art and one song. Then below it, the album art again and one song etc etc. In coverflow it has a album art icon per song so I can't just click to the next song I have to (in this case) click past 15 songs to get to the next album/disc.
So my question is, how can I fix that lol. I mean isn't it only supposed to show the album art once per album? How do I tell iTunes that this group of songs should be one album? Thanks for any help!

I tried those things in that article. I have a 2 disc set that has various artist but them same album art on both discs.
I highlight all 15 tracks on disc 1 and click on "Get Info" so that I am making changes across all the songs. I set for all of them; Compilation - Yes, Album - Malt Shop... , Disc number - 0f 2, Track Number - of 15, Genre - Oldies, and I paste in artwork that I've copied to the clipboard.
I make sure that not only does it have the correct info in the fields but also that the green check mark is in the corresponding box. I even tried marking them all as (Part of a compilation - NO) then remarking them all at the same time as Compilation - Yes. Still no good, all the info is right and it still shows 1 song as a album.
What am I missing?

My ipod touch 4gen is showing songs but shows nothing under albums or artists. iTunes shows album data. Both iPod and iTunes have up to date software

I have an iPod Touch 4gen. 32gb running iOS 6.1.6. I am seeing only "Songs" on this device the "album" and "artist" are both showing empty. I am running iTunes 12.1.26 and am showing both album and artist information in addition to songs. I have tried syncing with iTunes without success. I'm sort of a noob at this so please be specific. Thanks

Try:
- Reset the iOS device. Nothing will be lost
Reset iOS device: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
- Unsync/delete all music and resync
To delete all music go to Settings>General>Usage>Storage>Music>Tap edit in upper right and then tap the minus sign by All Music
- Reset all settings
Go to Settings > General > Reset and tap Reset All Settings.
All your preferences and settings are reset. Information (such as contacts and calendars) and media (such as songs and videos) aren’t affected.
- Restore from backup. See:
iOS: Back up and restore your iOS device with iCloud or iTunes
- Restore to factory settings/new iOS device.

I am trying to import a CD and each time it imports each individual song instead of as an album

I am trying to import a CD as an album but each time it imports each individual song. How do I correct this?

Hello phoephan,
You may want to take a look at "iTunes 11 for Mac: Import songs from CDs." When you import the CD, iTunes should be importing it as one album. If you continue to have issues take a look at your import settings.

Uninstall folder with 192 files in them?

Can anyone tell me what the files are for in the Uninstall folder? The file path is: Library>Application Support>Adobe>Uninstall.
I have 192 files in there with all the extensions either .db or .js
I don't get it.....please enlighten.
Thanks

Those (tiny) files keep track of everything that has been installed and tell the Uninstaller what to remove.
If you delete them, the Uninstaller will be pretty much useless when you need it.

Might not help. but you have to be in the "library" to edit them. Maybe you are trying to change in the "Ipod" section.
Got to check the easy things first, right? Hope this solves it.
