Is there a way to easily add sequential numbers to track names

I have a Samsung home theater unit with an IPOD dock. Unfortunately, no matter what type of folder I am playing the music from, tracks are played in alphabetical order. I can fix this by changing the track names so that they have a number at the front matching their place in the playlist. (I've tried this, it works.) Is there a way to automate this withing Itunes so that I don't have to change every track individually? I'd also like to be able to easily remove the numbers, as the playlist may consist of several albums, so the numbers might not match the tracks position on the individual albums.

There is a script to remove numbers and if my memory is correct there is a script to add numbers. Atone time iTunes would add numbers if told to do so but I cannot find that option anymore in the iTunes prefs with my current version.

Is there a way to simultaneously add text to Comments field for multiple files?

Is there a way to simultaneously add text to Comments field for multiple files? I know I can use Option+Comman+i to bring up the Inspector window but it doesn't have a Comments field. For example, in iTunes you can select multiple files and change metadata for any field simultaneously and easily yet when it comes to the Comments field in the Finder, this seems to be missing.
In our production environment, Comments field is important because we place notes about what drive the file originated then when it gets transferred to LTO-6 tape via LTFS, we can quickly trace it in the event we needed to recreate the hard drive. Because tape archiving is linear, we can't store all of the files on the same tape.
We've tried using Apple's Automator but it too seems to not have a way to batch change text in the Comments field. Any help is appreciated.

What is "order data"?

Is there a way to easily batch convert hundreds of video files to h.264, while retaining the original dimensions, metadata, etc.?

I am organizing my library of stock video footage so is easily view (show to clients) and access. I need advice for two things:
First: What is a good program to catalog footage in? I am considering using iTunes because I already have it and I could setup smart folders to easily organize footage.
Second: I would like to encode all the footage to h.264 so I can preview it in Quicktime and add it to an iTunes library. My problem is all the footage is in a wide variety of dimensions, formats, framerates, strange codecs etc. I have access to Adobe Media Encoder and Apple Compressor. Is there a way to easily batch convert hundreds of video files to h.264, while retaining the original dimensions, metadata, etc.?
I have tried using a watch folder in AME but it freezes every time I add the folder...
Thanks for any help!

Did you move the entire iTunes folder the hold Option, select Choose library and select the iTunes folder you moved?

Is there a way to automatically add another of the same page while a form is being filled?
I have a two-page form of which the second page is essentially a spreadsheet analog. Often, there is need for for more lines than are available on the page. Is there a way in which to add another or even multiple copies of the second page?
Thanks ahead...

You can do that with a dynamic XFA form created in LiveCycle Designer, which comes with Acrobat Pro for Windows. For more information, you can ask over at the LiveCycle Designer forum.

Is There A Way To Auto 'Add All' MSN Buddies to iChat (Jabber)??

Hello all.
I have successfully registered for a Jabber account and "registered" the Jabber /MSN Gateway via PSi.
I remembered a long time ago before Tiger I attempted this with iChat, and all my MSN buddies are automatically added into iChat, just like in MSN.
But now when I go online in iChat with my Jabber account, it is empty.
Is there a way to "automatically add" all my MSN buddies??
Also another Question: It is only possible to activate 1 Jabber account at one time?? I have another one with my Gmail buddy, when I activate my Jabber MSN, the Jabber Gmail becomes uncheck...
Is there a way to activate ALL Jabber accounts??
Thanks and cheers

No, it's not the same Jabber server as the last time... but on the 2nd time when I log on to my Jabber account in PSi and make the MSN Gateway active, all my buddies in MSN started to appear in a list in the main window... that did not happen the 1st time round... so maybe the "push" thing you mentioned maybe happening here... but after that I did not have the time to go log on iChat again...
Thanks and cheers

Is there a way to mass add m4a music folders to the library?

I have several thousand music folders containing m4a music. The files are in the iTunes music folder but are not in the library. iTunes can only add one folder at a time to the library, a time consuming, user hostile restriction. Is there a way to mass add all of the folders to the library using either iTunes or another program?

Will iTunes ignore the non-music folders and files?
Yes, it will only import the files it can import.
I've read posts about files disappearing seemingly caused by iTunes.)
It shouldn't but you do have an up-to-date back of all your files, correct?

Is there a way to easily locate original files in iTunes after moving everything to an external harddrive?

I recently moved my itunes folder (everything including library and music folders) from my computer harddrive to an external harddrive. I was able to find the library and it opens, but the music (all 7000+ songs) gives me this error. "The song “Beautiful People” could not be used because the original file could not be found. Would you like to locate it?" I know I cannot go and hand pick each artist folder and song, but this would take me forever! I have also changed the location via the preferences. I know all my music is in my folder on the external drive, so is there a way to easily fix this?
My path looks like External drive--Music folder--iTunes folder...Inside this folder are hundreds of folders (every different musician has its own folder and if there are two or more cds by same artist they are within the artist's folder) and my itunes library files and my automatically added to itunes folder and several itbd folders etc.
Please help!

Is there any way I can add extra storage to hold my Newsstand magazines?

Is there any way I can add extra storage to hold my Newsstand magazines?

Thanks for that. It is what I expected.
There are lots of WIFI and flash drives that you can plug in but, as far as I can see, they are only useful for holding stuff pre-loaded from a PC/MAC, and can only be used via a special app.
Let bus look forward to the day that Apple give us a memory extension socket.

I have CS5 design premium student and teacher edition, have never been able to receive any updates. And cannot find cetain features like Content Aware, Adobe Watermarks etc...Is there any way I can add these and other features

I have never been able to receive any updates. And cannot find cetain features like Content Aware, Adobe Watermarks etc...Is there any way I can add these and other features unavailable to me? Or do I have to upgrade the version I have? If so, how much would that be?

The only "content aware" feature in CS5 is the fill, so you are not missing anything with the updates because nothing more is there. And I honestly don't know what you mean by "Adobe watermarks" there is no such thing, but there is a series of scripts for such stuff.

You have to have enabled Find My iPhone on your phone before it was lost in order for it to be located. If you did, you could play a loud two minute sound on it even if it was on slient, as explained here: http://help.apple.com/icloud/#/mmfc0f19b5.

Is there a way to re-add a bluetooth device that has been forgotten?

Is there a way to re-add a bluetooth device that has been "forgotten"? My iPhone does not look for my car radio and I have been unable to get it added to to the devices list.

You have to put both devices back into discovery mode for pairing. Check the vehicle and see if you can remove the iPhone from the vehicle first. Then turn on Bluetooth on the phone. Once you see the spinning wheel, you know it is ready to be discovered. Check the vehicle manual and put the vehicle into discovery/pairing mode. You should be able to reconnect from there.

Having recently updated Firefox, there now seems to be a long delay before many webpages load. Is there any way to easily revert to the previous arrangement, for example by removing new features that came with the upgrade that I probably don't use?
