In iTunes, why does music which has been ripped from a best-of CD continue to show the year of the CD release even after I change the year to the year of the song release in playlists?

I often rip music from CDs of artists that released songs in the '60s and '70s. When I rip the music, in iTunes it shows the year of the CD release, usually something in the '90s or 2000s. I change the year in 'Get Info' to the correct year, and it changes it fine. However, after a while, it will show the old year again, the year of the CD. This is a problem because I like to arrange playlists based on song years, and this messes with that.
Tell me: is there a way to permanently fix the reverting year problem? Also, when I spot a song that this has happened to, when I click on 'Get Info', the correct ear is still in there, and when I hit 'OK' it changes back. This is really frustrating...

In some cases the original iTunes Store metadata seems to be given preference over personal changes. If you are seeing this then
Go to Edit > Preferences > Store and turn off
Show iTunes in the Cloud purchases
Share details about your library with Apple
On any iOS device go to Settings > Music and turn off
Show All Music
Close and reopen iTunes and/or reset the device and you should see your version of the metadata for each track rather than the original store data. If not it should reset as you play through content, or you can use my script UpdateTagInfo to force iTunes to read the current data from the tags.

The music you just downloaded tonight to your new computer is safe. The music you purchased on your phone is safe. You shouldn't feel gutted. It's your other music that you should have taken better care of. That would include any music you ripped yourself or purchased outside of iTunes. That you can't get back.
It has always been the user's responsibility to back up and protect downloaded music. If you didn't have a backup of your computer before it started acting funny, that's your fault. It would be no different than if you lost a music CD. It would not be a record store's responsibility to replace if you lost it. Digital music is no different. Similarly, a phone is not a backup medium. Phone's break, get misplaced or stolen all the time and are not a substitute for a backup copy of your music and media.
Computers WILL break. Hard drives WILL fail. That's why you back up your data.

My Pre-installed music app has been deleted from my phone, how do I get it back? It is not in my purchased apps.

Help, my pre-installed music app has been deleted from my home page. It is still in the settings but no app to play music from. I love my music!

Locate it- Scroll through the home screens !
Hold your finger on it till the icons start jiggling now move it to the left of the screen and hold it there.
In the back ground the homescreens scroll back towards your first screen.
When you reach the first home screen position icon where you want (If you have sixteen -the last one will move to the second home screen)
Whilst they are jiggling choose which ones you want on the first home screen.
You can also add access to more by creating folders containing similar types of apps by dropping one app icon on another icon as well.
When finished organizing press the home button to fix the setting.
Similarly you can add or remove app icon short cuts from the dock to suit your preference.
When you move them off the dock they are added to your home screens. (think of the home screens as an analogous to the desktop of your PC

Hi Praveen,
Are you trying to make the xml into a string? I think if you remove the first tag, it will either automagically reappear or it will throw and error as being poorly formed xml.
In general, you can remove the nodes by the use of indexes. Since you are operating at the root level, I am not sure how well it will work, but if your xml is in a property, you can reference the specific nodes by something like this: myXML.Output{/*[1]} which if you put it in a tracer will display the contents of the first node (or blank if there are child nodes). The node index can be dynamically set, but start with the simple hard coded one. I would also start at the lowest child level to verify that it is working properly (a tracer will display the contents specified by the index). You can also google xml indices (or indexes) and it will point to some other useful xml operators.
I suggest that you play around with it and also work with the Link Types (hint: removeXML).
Regards,
Mike

What would cause itunes to say "music file has been moved or is missing" when no files were moved?

What would cause iTunes to say: "The song “All Prayed Out” could not be used because the original file could not be found. Would you like to locate it?" when the music library has not been moved or modified? This is the case for many, but not all the songs in my library.

But I can't... find... it... It's not there.
Unless you're talking about the entire Mozilla Firefox folder (which isn't what the thing you copied says,) there is no installation folder.

Trying to connect to itunes with my i4 which has been reset but it keeps saying network connection has time out

cant seem to connect my iphone4 to itunes my phone was reset now itunes is saying network connection has timeout

Mine did the same, but when it reset to factory settings it came up with another error message and told me that it couldn't be done. Result: I have an iPod Classic that is well and truly stuck, not recognized by my Mac, not recognized by iTunes, can't be turned off and is stuck on a screen "OK to disconnect".

Why does "a photo has been found in the iPhoto library that was not imported" message appear every time I open i photo?

It happens on my iMac, and now that I have transferred some photos from that computer to my MacBook it is happening there, too. If I say that I don't want to import it, it "saves" it automatically to a file somewhere on the hard drive. That folder appears empty when opened, so I'm not sure what it's saving. Every time I open iPhoto it asks me twice before I can proceed, and creates two neat little folders with nothing in them. If I say that I do want to import the mystery photo, it plunks the nothing that has not been imported in to a Recovered Photos album. Once again, nothing there. Any ideas as to how to fix this problem?

Go to your Pictures Folder and find the iPhoto Library there. Right (or Control-) Click on the icon and select 'Show Package Contents'. A finder window will open with the Library exposed.
Look there for a Folder called 'Import' or 'Importing'.
Drag it to the Desktop. *Make no other changes*.
Start iPhoto. Does that help?
If it does then look inside that folder on your desktop. Does it contain anything you want? If not you can trash the folder.

VI on LabVIEW real-time is loading and running a DLL which has been deleted from the machine

OK, this is a weird one (at least, to me :-) )
I have a small real-time demo application VI that I am writing, using some new VIs I just created. My new VIs are wrapper functions for a DLL, using Call Library Function Nodes.
In the process of debugging, I decided to delete the DLL and run without it, to confirm that I am actually loading and using the DLL (since it seemed to have stopped doing something it had successfully done just a little while earlier).
The VIs that use that DLL still run, and at least some of them actually do what they are supposed to do. But the DLL does not exist on the real time machine! Not only did I delete it, reboot the machine, and check that it was gone, but through my ftp program I searched the whole hard drive for that DLL and did not find it (the search succeeded in finding a different DLL which did exist on the system, so the search-via-ftp is working).
How could this happen? What am I missing? Could this somehow be the result of a corrupted VI or is there some more logical explanation for the phenomenon?
Thank you.
Batya

Nathan is right at least for the Phrlap ETS based RT systems. For VxWorks you have to (or maybe used to have) to download the shared library to the controller before you could deploy an executable that makes use of them. For Pharlap ETS systems if you deploy a VI library dynamically to a machine it will download everything including shared libraries to the the RT target memory and run it from there. Only if you create an executabel and "install" it to the target and run it from there will it use whatever VIs are in the executable and also use the shared libraries that have been installed onto that system (at least for Pharlap ETS RT targets. As mentioned before for VxWorks targets, the deploy process even for executable installation did for some reasons not take care about moving the according *.out library to the target together with the rtexe).

HT1918 how can i get the user manual info back which has been erased from my settings icon pafe after a restore from itunes

how can i get my user manual info back onto my settings menu
this heading did not appear on the settings menu following a restore necessitated bt a freezing screen glitch thanks

I'm not entirely sure what you are referring to, there isn't a user manual section in the iPad's Settings app. If you want an iPad then you can either download it from here : http://support.apple.com/manuals/ipad/
Or if you download the iBooks app then there should be a copy in the ibookstore in it

Why does "your AppleID has been disabled" keep showing when I go to update my apps on my iPad?

I have tried to correct the problem by changing my password, but it keeps coming back. Help! I want to update my apps and buy stuff on iTunes.

Hi Granny,
There is a difference between your ID being disabled for security reasons and it just being disabled. Read about the difference and act accordingly.

If I restore my iPod to factory settings, will I lose my music that has been added from other computers, even if I've backed up my iPod?

I'm trying to clean out my iTunes and iPod, and in doing so I've realized that I have over a gig of "other" material taking up space on my iPod. One solution I was told about was to restore my iPod back to it's facotry settings (after you've backed it up) in order to help eliminate or help make the "other" section take up less space. I'm worried about doing this however seeing as my iPod has music from three or four other computers on it seeing as I manually sync music to my ipod rather than have it sync on it's own. I'm worried that even if I back the iPod Touch on my computer, that all the other music from the three or four other computers and iTunes' will be erased and only music left on my iTunes, on my laptop will be left over after words. This wouldn't be such an issue if I didn't have litterally THOUSANDS of music to sort through between these four computers.
Also, does anyone have any other solutions on how to reduce the amount that "other" takes up on your iPod? Thanks in advance! Any help is greatly appreciated.

I'm not sure if you will loose your music or not, but I have a suggestion. If you sinc your ipod to your itunes, all the music from it should transfer to your itunes, it shouldn't matter whether it was downloaded on that computer or not. If you do this and then restore your ipod to factory settings and you do loose your music, then you can just sinc your ipod to your computer, or itunes account and then you will get your music back. I hope this helps. :)
