Is there a way to save the song ratings you assign?

I spend days rating the my songs in iTunes. I'm not even halfway done. But, that's because I've had to start over 3 times in the last 5 years.  Twice because I got a new laptop and once because I had to reimage my harddrive.  All my music was saved on an external harddrive but when I put them on the new computer it doesn't save the rating I had given the songs.  It wouldn't be so obnoxious if it wasn't my way of indicating which songs I've moved into my playlists (which don't save either.)

Hi, Cortezz_de.
You could try using either the Comments or Grouping field to enter the language. You can display the columns in your iTunes Library by checking them in the iTunes View menu > View Options.
Use that information, along with Genre, to define your playlists.

  • Is there a way to put the songs from my ipod to my itunes???

    I think I did something and it erased some of my songs in the library but they are still on my ipod. what happened to the songs??? and is there a way to put the songs from my ipod onto my itunes?

    Perhaps you may
    i still
    have the music files on your PC -- but not seen in iTunes.
    Check using Windows Explorer in 'My Music\iTunes\iTunes Music\...' for folders containing your music (or wherever you keep your music folders). If it is there, we can get iTunes to recognize it. Try one or both of these:
    --- In iTunes choose: Edit==>Preferences==>Advanced tab. Select 'Change' and browse to the music folder in your PC drive (if it isn’t already). Click OK to save that setting.
    --- In iTunes choose: File==>’Add Folder to Library’ & browse to the music folder in your PC drive. Click OK.
    Also check in your Recycle Bin to see if you accidentally deleted it. If so, ‘Restore’ it back to it’s original spot.
    Then try running a search using Windows Explorer (or similar) for files with the extensions of: m4a, m4p, MP3,
    i OR
    with the partial names of the songs you are missing.
    Do all the above before you decide that they have been completely erased from your hard drive.
    If your music files are truly gone, and you have some or all of your music files on your iPod, these links will give you
    i several
    methods of recovering whatever songs remain on your iPod; some free, some third-party software, some more comprehensive for restoring playlists , ratings, counts, etc. Read them and their associated links before deciding on a strategy that works for you.

    After recovering your song files, consider developing a backup strategy for just this type of situation. Below are some very good threads to read on the subject:

  • Is there a way to get the songs back after you do a sync and erase? I no longer have them stored on my harddrive.

    Thanks to a wonderful geeksquad agent all my songs have been deleted from my ipod. They had to restore my computer so the ones I downloaded are no longer on my harddrive or in itunes. Is there a way to get the songs back after you do a sync and erase?

    If they are on the iPod there are third-party programs that will transfer then to  a computer. See:
    Copy music from Ipod to new computer...: Apple Support Communities
    If they ae not on either the iPOd or the computer they are gone.

  • Is there a way to save the last curor position in Numbers?

    Is there a way to save the last curor position in Numbers? We have a custom Budget spreadsheet but every time we open the file, we have to scoll to the bottom of the spreadsheet.
    There are several thousand entries, and every time we open it, we have to scroll to the bottom of the screen which is getting fairly annoying.
    Every time we open it, regardless of what sheet or cell we are in when it is saved previously, it opens at the top....
    Any suggestions?
    Thanks!

    reverse the order of you entries and add rows at the top of the table.  That is have newest date entries at the top and oldest at the bottom

  • One of the folders on my external hard drive has transformed into a unix executable file and I can no longer access my files. Is there any way to save the data?

    One of the folders on my external hard drive has transformed into a unix executable file and I can no longer access my files. Is there any way to save the data?

    Wow, have seen Files do that, but a whole Folder as I recall!
    Could be many things, we should start with this...
    "Try Disk Utility
    1. Insert the Mac OS X Install disc, then restart the computer while holding the C key.
    2. When your computer finishes starting up from the disc, choose Disk Utility from the Installer menu. (In Mac OS X 10.4 or later, you must select your language first.)
    Important: Do not click Continue in the first screen of the Installer. If you do, you must restart from the disc again to access Disk Utility.
    3. Click the First Aid tab.
    4. Select your Mac OS X volume.
    5. Click Repair. Disk Utility checks and repairs the disk."
    http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=106214
    Then try a Safe Boot, (holding Shift key down at bootup), run Disk Utility in Applications>Utilities, then highlight your drive, click on Repair Permissions, reboot when it completes.
    (Safe boot may stay on the gray radian for a long time, let it go, it's trying to repair the Hard Drive.)

  • I got a new computer and backed up my iTunes library to an external hard drive.  The external hard drive is not allowing me to access the drive.  Is there a way to transfer the songs from my iPod touch to my new computer?

    I got a new computer and backed up my iTunes library to an external hard drive.  The external hard drive is not allowing me to access the drive.  I no longer have access to the old computer.  Is there a way to transfer the songs from my iPod touch to my new computer?

    That's a bummer, didn't realize the exHD files were corrupt, esp if you have tried from another PC and not just this new computer.
    You can get purchases from the itunes store transferred from an iPod using these directions:
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1848?viewlocale=en_US
    If you want everything (meaning non-itunes songs, app data, photos, etc) you need to buy a 3rd-party ipod manager that support iTouch. Here is an iLounge article to start your research:

  • The hard drive on our computer died and we lost all of our purchases in the account. Is there a way to recover the songs we have paid for? If we plug in our iPod to a new account, won't it erase everything during the synch process? Help!

    If for some reason you have failed to maintain a backup copy of your computer ( not good), then transfer purchases form your ipod.
    Without syncing, click File>Transfer Purchases

  • Is there a way to display the song timing/duration?

    I have a new 6th generation iPod Nano. Is there a way to display the song timing? Sometimes I want to fast forward to right at the end. I guess I miss the click wheel when I could zoom right to the end without just holding down the arrow and guessing about when I'd get there. Is there a way to access this function on the new nanos?

    You're welcome. You can find the manual for the 6th Generation Nano here: http://manuals.info.apple.com/enUS/iPod_nano_6thgen_UserGuide.pdf

    You can do that with the Menu Editor extension - https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/addon/menu-editor/
    This extension has not been updated by its author in a couple of years, but another developer has updated it for Firefox 4, you can get the updated version from http://netticat.ath.cx/MyAddons/MyAddons.htm#3rdpartyaddons

    Save all the photos from your Droid into a folder on your computer.

  • Is there a way to save the Rebate Drilldown results to memory

    Hi,
    I'm trying to build a custom report based on the Rebate Drilldown results (either through VBO3 or VB(8 transaction). Is there a way to store the results into memory so I can access it? I'm trying to do a SUBMIT to the report RV15C002 but I need the results after I click the button "Verification Level". The result is the same as the Rebate Drilldown in VBO3.
    I'm also trying to do a BDC recording as another way but I'm not sure how I can store the drilldown results into memory.
    Thanks is advance for any help.
    Joseph

    If its only for documentation screenshot could be last option. I am not aware of methods to save it like a report.
    Thanks

  • In Elements 8, is there a way to save the undo history?

    Often times, I cannot evaluate how a filter etc,  will effect a picture until after it is printed out.  If I close the file, the undo history is wiped out.  Is there a way to export the undo list to a text file or something similar so that I can review it afterwards.  Right now, I used a pen and paper to record each change but sometimes I get sloppy.  Thanks in advance.

    No, unfortunately the ability to save history as a text file is only in full photoshop. Some people take a screenshot of the undo history palette, but of course that only gives the steps you took, not the settings for each one.

  • HT4914 Is there a way to upload the songs from my iPod directly to the cloud (iTunes Match)?

    This question is for my Mom as she has she messed up her iTunes and is missing thousands of songs.  She did not back them up to an external drive.  She does, however, still have her iPod with all of her songs organized correctly.
    I was able to get the songs from her iPod back to her iTunes; however, some of the albums are splitting into multiples albums (based on whether or not there are multiple artists on the track and/or album).  Is there a way to fix this?  If so, how?  If not, is there a way to bring the iPod to an apple store and have them upload the songs directly from her iPod to iTunes match and then download from the cloud so there aren't syncing issues?

    IF not, you can redownload all your past purchases. Setup the new iTunes with the same ID  and password; select Purchases from the right-hand Quick Links column, then go thru all the tabs and redownload.
