ITunes batch tag rename - 'processing' or immediate - why?

Right, so I've been renaming some of the genre tags of my mp3s.
Select a load, 'get info', change the genre, click OK.
Sometimes the change happens immediately and is reflected in the song list. Other times a dialogue box appears, says 'processing' and goes through the songs one by one changing the tags.
Why? ID3 tag version, importing method? Will conforming all my songs to ID3 v3.3 make any difference?
Thoughts would be much appreciated.

Anyone any ideas?

Batch file renaming questions

Beyond knowing that such a facility exists, I have no knowledge about Bridge scripting. Can it be used to modify the standard batch file rename process in Bridge?
I would like to rename my Canon Raw images with the date (from EXIF Date Digitised) and a sequence number that resets to zero for each new date. This sequence number should accurately reflect the order in which the images were taken (via the time component of EXIF Date Digitised). I would also like to process all files in a subdirectory structure at the same time.
The standard Bridge batch rename process does not offer a counter that resets for each new date, nor does it seem to allow processing files in more than one folder at a time.
Can this be done? Do such scripts already exist? Alternatively, are there any commercial software utilities that can do this? I am already aware of a freeware solution called DIM but am a little worried about putting my faith in something with no guaranteed ongoing support - a concern that would be addressed by a script I can control myself or a properly supported commercial solution.

Try removing and then reinstalling the Apple software using these instructions.

The above containes a link for XP. Also. make sure you install the correct Apple software, It comes in 32 and 64 bit and you need the one that is the same as the computer OS

Why has this occurred The file "iTunes Library.itl" does not appear to be a valid iTunes library file. iTunes has created a new iTunes library and renamed this file to "iTunes Library (Damaged)".

My itunes library suddenly that the file “iTunes Library.itl” does not appear to be a valid iTunes library file. iTunes has created a new iTunes library and renamed this file to “iTunes Library (Damaged)”. I use an external hard drive for my Itunes.

The library file appears to have been corrupted. You say you use your external drive but is the whole library on it or only your media? No matter, you will have to rebuild the library file:

Hi, I recently updated my IOS and backed up on itunes. In the process I lost all my apps on my phone. If I use the back up option on itunes, will it restore my iphone to my old IOS? Please help!

If it's in recovery mode, the data is already gone. Why did you never back up your important data?

What is causing this? The file "iTunes Library.itl" does not appear to be a valid iTunes library file. iTunes has created a new iTunes library and renamed this file to "iTunes Library (Damaged) 4". This happens everytime I start iTunes lateley. Help!!!

Everytime I open iTunes lately...I get all my music thrown out of the library and this annoying message come up...The file “iTunes Library.itl” does not appear to be a valid iTunes library file. iTunes has created a new iTunes library and renamed this file to “iTunes Library (Damaged) 4”.

Did you happen to bring this iTunes library over from a windows machine? You might read this kb article to see if it helps http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1451

Trying to edit my iTunes account, it keeps timing out prematurely why?

Trying to edit info in my iTunes account it keep timing out prematurely why?

If rhe apps and photos are that important you made sure that you took the steps in order to keep them safe in an event like this didn't you?
You did backup the iPad before you decided to update the iPad correct?
And you did transfer all of your apps and other purchases into iTunes before you decided to update correct?
If you did, just restore the iPad and then restore from the backup at the end of fhe process and follow that with a sync with iTunes and you will lose nothing,
Now if you didn't do any of the precautionary steps ....

ITunes Explicit tag not working correctly

Hello, I have a problem with manually added 'explicit' tag in iTunes. iTunes show tag correctly near the song, but there is no red 'E' label in the ''now playing'' box.
How can I fix this problem?
I tried to re-add a song into the library, it's not helps.
I think, that this is the different tags in the file, how can I check the second tag? Maybe someone have a script to manually add that tag to AAC file?

Same for me. I don't know why that happens. I restarted my Macbook, quit iTunes, and it still did not work.

What is the best Mac alternative to Tag & Rename

Hi
On my PC I near-daily used a programme called Tag&Rename to manually manage my MP3s.
I found itunes never tagged correctly and often screwed them up with wrong imagery etc.
Details of Tag&R here: http://www.softpointer.com/tr.htm
Tag & Rename was ideal - I could change literally every tag in the MP3 - both singularly or as an album or compilation. It even allowed me to highlight a selection of MP3s and auto tag them according to Amazon - including adding file and folder images.
I've now replaced my PC with a Macbook Pro and sadly Tag&Rename is not available
Can someone advise me on the best alternative please - either as a software download or from the Mac App Store.
I'm happy to pay for it as I have a lot of MP3s and it something I used daily
Thanks in advance

Fatboyslick,
I have not found a program for the MAC as good as Tag&Rename. Music Tag Editor is as close as I can come to Tag&Rename. I have asked the developer of Tag&Rename if a MAC version would ever be possible for a MAC version and he indicated that he was currently working on one. I have no idea where he is at on the development.
The best thing about Tag&Rename was that I could tell it where to save the file by automatically telling it the drive\directory\artist name\album name\title.mp3
Music Tag Editor lets you rename the file and do a SaveAs but it is way to many steps and I have to change the directories for every artist. You can't create a driectory within the program....
So in short. There is nothing in the MAC world that is as good as Tag&Rename.

Batch Determination in Process Industry (PP-PI)

Hi all,
I'm having an issue at the moment wherein when I user manually execute batch determination for a material, system will prompt business that Batch determination for the selected material without selection data. Upon hitting Continue, system will advise that no search strategy could be found. I understand that the batch strategy needs to be configured for this error to be resolved but the point is not setup as a category product and shouldn't be required a strategy.
How can I stop the system from requiring the batch strategy before the material can be allocated a batch number?
Cheers
Patrick

Dear
Why are you going manul mode where you have option to determine the batch automatically based on the following set up
Define the batch determination search strategy for process order in COB1 with sort rule in CU70.
On the initial screen of your application choose Logistics>centrel function>batch management>Batch determination>For process order -->Batch search strategy --> Create.
On the initial screen of your application choose Batch search strategy -->Create.
Choose the strategy type, say choose co02
Choose the key combination-
Enter the required dat-->say plant ,production order type, product,valid from and component for which you want to have this
Choose Selection criteria push button. Choose a sort sequence.
If no values have been entered, enter the selection class and the characteristic values.
Go back to the screen on which you create a batch search strategy.
Choose Sort if required(it should be defined earlier(in CU70- here you are giving the charateristic name on which you want to sort)
For component you need to use MBC1 with search stratgey as ME01 for your plant movement type and material and assign the sort rule and search procedure here.
Check also in COR4, for the combination of plant and order type...you have selected search procedure-CO0001
Batch management> Batch serach procedure allocation and check activation
T.Code to be looked specifically OMCG , CORC
Hope it will help you.

When I open iTunes , iTunes Match started to process step 1. Always same process and never ending

When I open iTunes , iTunes Match started to process step 1. Always same process and never ending...
I tried some suggestions but I cant fix my problem. Do you have any knowladge about this problem?

For the past few months, and several iTunes upgrades, iTunes Match spends some time in Step 1 "Gathering" and sending information to Apple. Then Step 2 runs through the first 2092 of 2094 pretty quickly. Jumps to 2094. And then immediatly back to Step 1 again.
Repeat every 5 minutes or so until Match is manually turned off.

Editing Tags in itunes - does tag info stay with file?

I have a question about editing tags in itunes, hopefully I can explain myself clearly enough here...
I have a very large music collection...almost 10,000 files now, and have spent alot of time editing the tags, renaming mispelled artists and song names etc...my question is, when that tag is edited, will all that tag info remain intact when I copy the actual mp3's to another computer? I want to back all the music up to my laptop, which is running same version of itunes, but I don't want to have to start over again with editing the tags. When I initially put the files on my computer the tags were really messed.
Thanks for any info.

Here is the last list I've had of attributes and were they reside:
For M4A and MP3 files... (WAV files do not have tags)
These are only in the iTunes Library files (ITL & XML):
-- Playlists
-- Ratings
-- Play Count
-- Last Played
-- Date Added
-- Date Modified
-- Equalizer
-- Volume Adjustment
These are stored in the music file itself:
-- Artist
-- Album
-- Song Title
-- Year
-- Comments
-- Compilation tag
-- Lyrics
-- Genre
-- Grouping
-- Volume Adjustment (a special iTunes only tag in the file - non-standard)
-- Composer
-- Bit Rate (not a tag - inherent to the file itself)
-- BPM
-- Kind (not a tag - inherent to the file itself)
-- Album Art (only stored in the file - not copied to the iTunes Library ITL or XML files)
Best of Luck

ITunes 12 Tagging Issues

Quite a few changes have been made concerning tagging options and accessibility in iTunes 12—for the worse. While all traditionally available fields were still available in iTunes 11—regardless the media kind—, the new iTunes update removes many of them. Most options have been adjusted to better fit the respective media. And even though I'd agree that Episode # doesn't make much sense for a record, I would still use most of the remaining values for most of my media.
Batch tagging your metadata has basically become impossible for most tasks. And that's not just a little annoying—it's a pain. In fact, iTunes has become somewhat useless over night. Here are just a few examples of what I'm missing:
Maybe unlike others, I've always used the Grouping field for Movies (I group film series, e.g. Planet of the Apes). It's not possible anymore. Grouping has become unavailable for Movies in iTunes 12 (apart from editing the field row by row in List View). Yes, there still is List View—the only good news so far. I also set Track # (1 of 1) and Disc # (1 of 1) for Movies. They're gone, too, meaning I would have to open each movie separately in Subler or iDentify and set those values manually—four times each item in this example. Have you ever tried doing that for a couple of hundred movies?
Maybe unlike others, I've always used the Description, Show, and Episode ID fields for Music (I fill in album release notes, dates and venues for live recordings, among other things). It's not possible anymore. Description, Show, Episode ID, and many other fields have become unavailable for Music in iTunes 12.
This list goes on and on . . .
Oddly enough, I haven't even been able to batch tag the fields that iTunes has left us to play around with. When trying to edit the genre for a bunch of movies today, the error message was "Your selection contains more than one kind of media." (see image), which is, of course, also not true.
I wonder how other iTunes power users—and I really don't like that phrase—are dealing with this, and I'm looking forward to reading about your first impressions, experiences so far, as well as sharing reasonable workarounds.
As I said earlier in this thread (Tagging working differently in iTunes 12 ?): It more and more looks like they're trying to get rid of power users in order to make us buy stuff from the iTunes store instead of managing our own media with their software.
PS: Ripping a CD has become painfully slow, taking almost 20 minutes per album. But I'm hoping this is an issue Apple is actually going to fix soon, while I'm not so sure about the others.

I found a way (thanks to turingtest2), The "old style" infobox known before V12, which allows to modify all fields for a multiple selection of records can be accessed while pressing shift and right-click > Get Info (or File > Get Info). (It's alt on a Mac.).
I do hope, that this remains and hope this does the trick for some of you too.
Heinz
NB: pomme4moi: Unfortunately I use Windows. Similar tasks can there be done using MP3tag. A great utility that does everything I can imaging around maintaining tags. However not being integrated into iTunes, it also means additional work to jump back and forth and re-update libraries over and over again...

Issues during Component Batch Determination for Process Orders

Hi,
I am encountering a strange issue during component batch determination of process order.
1. During creation of process order, when I execute batch determination, systems does determination based on strategies we have set and when I click on Copy it gives an error
"Log cannot be saved: Object/subobject not specified"
Message no. BL201
*Diagnosis
Log save cancelled because at least one log contains no object or subobject.
Object and subobject are needed to classify application logs because there are several log types. Only a few logs are managed in main memory at runtime, so this classification is not needed.
If the logs are to be saved in the database, object/subobject must be specified for later retrieval.
Procedure for System Administration
Object/sub object can be passed when a log is created (function module BAL_LOG_CREATE) and changed with BAL_LOG_CHANGE.
The possible values for object and sub object must be configured in transaction SLG0.*
If I save the order with CRTD status and come back again in change mode and do determination, It works fine.
Again when the order is in REL status and do the determination, It gives the same error.
This happens only for a specific plant, In other plants batch determination works in all scenarios.
I checked for all plant related Config for batch determination and coudn't find any discrepancies.
Please advise how to resolve this issue. Thanks in advance for your help
Regards,
Aheesh

There Is no direct solution for your requirement just try this work around.
While defining the batch determination search strategy for process order in COB1, there is one column Quantity proposal where you can attach the Routines (This is written in ABAB code ) make use of this, define New Routines with ABAB help to fulfill your requirement. Try this if found useful award full points.
