Is there any way of undoing a shuffle? The CDs I downloaded to iTunes have all been shuffled. As most of these are classical, it is inappropriate to have them separated into songs that play any old time. Can I restore them to the original albums?

Is there any way of undoing a shuffle? The CDs I downloaded to iTunes have all been shuffled into individual 'songs'. As most of these are classical and folk, it is inappropriate to have them separated into songs that play any old time (ie, a movement from Beethoven's 5th symphony followed by a folk song followed by one excerpt from Vivaldi's Four Seasons, etc. Can I restore them all to the original albums and make sure the shuffle doesn't happen again?
Thanks!

Thanks! That has worked, but only partially - there are still some Beethovens mixed in with the Vivaldis. I'm sure I installed these as total albums.
I have noticed that too from time to time, I generally move the files into the correct folder and fix the index in itunes when one won't open, occasionally.

  • TS4009 I deleted a large number of contacts on one iphone when i got a new one. icloud must have automatically synced to the old one, then synced my new one to that, thus deleting many contacts. can i restore them?

    I deleted a large number of contacts on one iphone when i got a new one. icloud must have automatically synced to the old one, then synced my new one to that, thus deleting many contacts. can i restore them? can i retrieve a snapshot of my icloud as it existed yesterday?

    When a device that is connected to an icloud account has it's contacts deleted, the same contacts at icloud.com are also deleted and then the changes propagate to other computers and devices also connected to the same icloud account.   In other words, the contacts are deleted everywhere.  Also, any iOS backup to icloud does not include contacts or any of the other Apple data, like calendars, reminders, etc.  The only way you can get that data back is if it was on a computer which has been frequently backed up.  You restore the data from the backup.  (This reference to "backup" is a local backup, it has nothing to do with icloud.)

    I made a dumb decision to 'Erase Free Space' on my drive. I now have no free space, I realize because it wrote 0's over all my free space. Is there a way to undo this??? Help please I can't save any documents now! Thanks in advance all, it is truly appreciated. how can find the hidden temporary files using the terminal what do i type in?

    It's more likely a failed Erase Free Space, which creates a huge temporary file; that's why it looks like you have no more available drive space. You can recover from this. See these links

  • My kid`s been using my apple ID/account for years, but now that he`s older it`s time he got his own. Is there any way to either make a twin account so he doesn`t lose all his purchases from iTunes/AppStore when getting his own account?

    My kid`s been using my apple ID/account for years, but now that he`s older it`s time he got his own. Is there any way to either make a twin account so he doesn`t lose all his purchases from iTunes/AppStore or does he have to start from scratch? They payment can still be from my card/account, that`s not the problem, but facetime, imessage etc. is a available on both mine and his apple products (I know you can check what email/phone number we can be reached at, but it`s just a click and he see my messages and I his). It`s the privacy problem that is the most important.

    He needs to have his own account, the sooner the better.
    As for content, non-protected songs can simply be copied to his own new library, and he can use them.  As for protected content and apps, anything he still wants will have to be replaced.

  • I plugged in my phone into my mac and i clicked restore by accident, and it now has all of the things from my old phone. is there a way to undo everything?

    I plugged my phone into my Mac which i have never synced before and it restored ALL of my old things from my old phone. is there a way to undo everything?

    iPods do not work with "accounts."  They work with your iTunes library.  You don't have to set up a new iTunes library for each iPod.  One iTunes library can sync with as many iPods, iPhones, and iPads as your own, at the same time.  iTunes connects to and treats each device separately.
    However, if your iPod nano is set up for automatic syncing with an iTunes library that is NOT your current iTunes library, you cannot sync your current library to it without replacing its existing content.  Do you have access to the previous iTunes library, the one the iPod currently synced to?  If so, you should transfer your song files from that iTunes library to your current iTunes library.  Then, sync our iPod to your current iTunes library.  You can post back to get more info about the procedure.
    If you don't have access to that previous iTunes library, the approach is to first offload the song files from the iPod to your computer's drive, then add the song files to your current iTunes library.
    You cannot use iTunes to transfer song files from iPod to computer, except for songs purchased from the iTunes Store.  However, there are third-party methods and utilities that can transfer from iPod to computer.  If you do a Google search on something like "ipod transfer," you should get some links.
    You can then sync your iPod to your "consolidated" iTunes library.

  • HT3275 I recently used my time capsule to restore my old macbook onto my new macbook pro.  Is there a way to undo this?

    I recieved a new MacBook Pro for Christmas, and my Fiance purchased the new Microsoft office along with a few other things.  This morning, I did a time capsule restore to get my documents and photos from my old Macbook, but I apparently did a full restore instead and ended up losing everything that was loaded onto my new computer in the process.  Is there any way to undo a time capsule restore?

    Did you do a backup of the new MBP before you restored? If not there is really no way to go backwards.. although you might find your old setup is still there.. create a new user, with full admin rights.. and then log out and log back in again.. if the new software has disappeared then the restore has completely overwritten the existing files.. you will need to start over.. fresh clean install of the OS and start again.

    It does not cover Mavericks but Mountain Lion is similar enough. Sadly the guy who wrote all these excellent guides died earlier this year.

  • Is there any way to undo Time Machine formatting?

    Within 20 minutes of becoming a proud iMac owner for the first time I think I have made a serious mistake
    I have two external hard drives, a 1TB Seagate that I wanted to use as my Time Machine back-up drive, and a 500MB WD drive that I had various files on that i wanted to copy to my iMac.
    I had both drives connected through USB and when I went through set-up I selected the Time Machine option for the Seagate drive.  I certainly don't recall my WD drive being mentioned at any point in the process, however when I look at the WD drive it now shows as 'Time Machine Backups', as does my Seagate drive, so it appears both drives were re-formatted.
    Is there any way to undo this or will I need to look at data recovery software?

    It sounds like you got this prompt:
    And clicked Use as Backup Disk.  Then got this:

  • Is there a way to undo a crashed firmware update?

    Well...what now? I ran the latest firm update and viola', it hung in a closed loop and finally after an hour I cancelled and now my great running EA4500 is now an expensive plastic paperweight. Is there any way to undo the "damaged" eprom/firmware update.
    I'm electronics capable and willing to rip off the cover and replace the eprom, if possible, like we used to do in the the old, old days replacing the bios!
    Solved!
    Go to Solution.

    Was the update being done via wired or wireless connection? 
    Always do a FW update over a wired LAN connection.
    You might do a search on the support site for 30-30-30 reset to see if this can get you recovered or to a page where you can reload the FW load. 
    Future use:
    To safely update FW, I recommend doing the following: Download the FW file from the support site first.
    1. Save router config to file first using IE or FF with all security add-ons disabled.
    2. Factory reset the router with all other devices disconnected or turned OFF accept for 1 wired PC.
    3. Reload or Update the FW using IE or FF. Just download the FW file to your local wired LAN PC.
    4. Factory reset the router and then set up from scratch first and test with out loading the saved config from file. Check to see if any problems are fixed before loading the saved config from file. Sometimes you need to set up from scratch with out loading the saved config file. Just safer that way.

  • HT1444 Is there a way to undo an update and go back to prior version?

    Is there a way to undo an update and go back to a previous version? I installed the latest version of 10.7.4 (?) on my iPhone (4s) but I hate it. I was warned by another user not to update. She said I would regret it. I should've listened.
    1)The Icons are lighter in color with tiny print on them - resembling a bunch of light colored boxes without meaning.
    2) I used to be able to double-click the home button, press-and-hold a running icon at the bottom and deselect all that were running to prolong my battery life, but I can't figure out how to do that now.
    I am reluctant to update my iPad now. I think I will readjust my settings to make the updates "hidden".

    Unfortunately there isn't a downgrade path. However, to improve legibility go to Settings>General>Accessibility and turn 'Larger Type' on and make adjustments there. Also you can turn the 'Bold Text' option on.
    To close down apps, double-tap the Home button as before and any open apps will appear as a reduced sized window of the app. Stroke that window 'up' and the app will close down.

  • HT1386 How do I copy music from an old iPod?  Why do you have to make things so difficult?  These are my files that I paid for but once I put them on your devices, I no longer have control over them.  I've wasted so much time on these stupid problems.

    How do I copy music from an old iPod?  Why do you have to make things so difficult?  These are my files that I paid for but once I put them on your devices, I no longer have control over them.  I've wasted so much time on these stupid problems.  I used to be able to do this until you "improved" things.

    Thanks, Deggie. I thought Apple would see my feedback.  I would just like to know if there is a simple way to copy just a few music files from an old iPod.  I saw instructions on how to copy all of them from the iPod but it was complicated and I really didn't want to copy all the songs.  I guess I could delete all the songs but the ones I want to copy then go through that process again.  Do you know how to back up music to my computer?  I don't want to have to go through this again and possibly lose music.

  • Is there a way to undo MMPV period closing?

    Dear gurus,
    One of our user's tried to open March period from "mmpv" and he opened April period either by mistake. Now the current period is April and the previous is March. He has to do some reversals for February, naturally he can't.
    Is there a way to undo what he had done from mmpv?
    Thanks in advance.

    Hi Flitz
    Pl be careful of using MMPV again.
    You can use MMPI to correct your situation. I would suggest it, if this is a test or dev or sandbox.
    In production system, you have to be extremely careful.
    Check if you have done any goods postings into April period. if not, it's ok.
    Read the documentation in this Txn (click 'i' button), understand and decide
    Best regards

  • Is there a way to undo a factory setting reset?

    I recently reset my iphone back to factory settings by accident when updating to the latest ios8 and I lost all of my text message history. Is there a way to undo reset or uncover my text messages?

    If you've ever backed up your device you can restore your phone from that backup....but data will only be from the date of that backup. Let's say you backed up your device in September. Accidentally erased it in November. If you restore it from that backup it'll look like it did in september, but any and all data put on it between september and November will be gone.

  • Is there a way to undo or restore previous device software?

    Hi All,
    I just updated the device software on my blackberry and the device seems to run much slower than previously!  Is there any way to undo all the changes that were made to the system software and apps? 
    I installed the apps using IE from off the web..... the loader told me that things would be backed-up.  Using the Desktop software doesn't seem to work - the old backup file I have only restores data (addresses, etc) but not the system apps. 
    Yikes.  After playing around with the new device software, I'm fairly unimpressed - applications take up more screen real-estate (i.e. more scrolling) - especially in the calendar - and the device works more slowly (that little hourglass thing takes forever!).
    Please help!

    There are instructions how to downgrade your Blackberry OS, and there are links to download necessary software.

  • I'm having trouble with my iCloud photos. I thought i could be a little sneaky and take a photo of my photos that were more than 30 days old, so they would be uploaded along with my new photos. that part worked, but i can't upload them to Snapfish?!

    i'm having trouble with my iCloud photos. I thought i could be a little sneaky and take a photo of my photos that were more than 30 days old, so they would be uploaded along with my new photos. that part worked, but i can't select them to upload them to Snapfish?! Any thoughts? I'm bummed. I've got a few hundred photos on my iPhone that I'd like to move seemlessly - or somehow at all.

  • Any way to undo archive log application?

    While cloning the target from the source, we were supposed to restore till log sequence x and we restored it till x+1. Is there any way to undo an archive log application till sequence x. Our database version is 10.2.0.2

    1) However, Is it possible to flashback the database to a point before the resetlogs in 10g?
    If you meant that after doing flashback databse and resetlogs, can you do it for the point past the resetlogs than yes you can.See this.
    http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/B19306_01/server.102/b14200/statements_9011.htm#SQLRF01801
    2) Do we have any other options apart from flash back since it is disabled.
    Not that which I can think of.If you don't have flashback database,the other option will be to manualy undo the changes.
    Aman....
