ITunes bumps list to top when tags are changed

I'm using the latest iTunes and trying to tidy some tags. If I change a tag, iTunes insists on bumping me up to the top of my song list even if the song itself did not change positions in the list. Sometimes it doesn't bump to the top but to a seemingly random point. It is making it VERY tedious to tidy my songs.
Example...I sort songs by artist. I change the title tag for a song. iTunes will bump me to the top of the song list even though the song itself is not changing positions (because I am not sorting by the variable that was changed.) I am getting completely frustrated because this forces me to scroll up and down. Is there any way to prevent this from happening so I stay on the song I'm playing or modifying?
Thank you for any assistance!

The cricual thing is to have a complete backup of your library that you could restore if needed.
What changes are you noticing? There appear to be some new as yet not well documented features designed to sync data across multiple libraries/devices which may have unwanted side effects.

Recover Replication Environment when we are changing Hardware

Hi All,
I have posted this question in Database Replication head but didn't receive any reply thats why I'm posting the same question here too.
I've implemented replication between two locations in oracle 9i and it is working perfectly alright for last one year. Now at one location (at snapsht site) I have to change the server hardware and I have to put a new IBM server. I'll have to install Oracle 9i on new Server but I think if I export data from old server and if I import it in new server then I believe replication will not work.
what is way to use the same replication setup on new server without doing setup of creating Master site on one server and snapshot site on new server.
I think I'm clear in my question.
Thanks

Are you changing hardware platforms as well as the hardware? Or are you going from one AIX box to another?
If you have the downtime window, and you are staying on the same operating system, the easiest option would generally be to shut down the snapshot database, do a cold backup, restore the backup to the new server, and start up the snapshot database. If you don't have the downtime window for this, or you are changing operating systems, you'd generally be looking at rebuilding the snapshot database on the new server and having two different snapshot databases running for some period of time before you do the cutover.

When iTunes upgraded, many of my song tags were changed by iTunes. This happened again when an update was sent this week. Is there any way to avoid this happening again in the future?

When I downloaded the new iTunes, it changed the tags on some of my tracks. As a result, I had to fix them manually. When I downloaded another upgrade this week, my tags changed again. How can I prevent this from happening in the future?

Files listed as stream when they are local files

Hi there
I downloaded two albums on an iPhone 4S using iTunes. When syncing with iTunes on my Macbook Pro, I find that the files on the iPhone are now listed as "stream" for their size. What is going on? How do I make these local files?
Thanks.

With iTunes 10, Computer Still Freezing When Podcasts are Downloading

For the last several versions of iTunes, my computer has been slowing down a LOT while podcasts are downloading, especially when a new iT version is first installed. Then things improve over time. Now, with iTunes 10.1.1.4, it's horrendous. ITunes takes forever to open, and then causes my computer to become completely unresponsive. It doesn't respond to mouse or keyboard inputs, so I can't minimize it or shut it down.
Sometimes when that happens, I can't even open Task Manager, but when I can, it indicates that iTunes is using between 95 and 98% of CPU. In that circumstance, I can't even shut down iTunes with TM. After 15 or 20 minutes and all the podcasts have downloaded, I'm able to use my computer again, even with iTunes open.
It happens with all podcasts, but obviously it's more of a problem when a big pcast is downloading.
Today, I got the famous blue screen of death. All my programs had frozen and I was trying to shut down iTunes. The blue screen said "kernel data inpage error," whatever that means.
With past versions, I've tried uninstalling and re-installing iT, but that has not helped.
All my other programs are working fine. Today I ran CCCleaner, AdAware, RegCure and Malware Bytes, but nothing changed. My McAfee anti-virus max scanning time is 10 seconds.
Any idea what could be going on here? Or how to begin troubleshooting this mess?

Hi,
finally worked! I found this post and it has finally worked I understand it is the same as WHATHECK's answer so thanks WHATHECK!
You have to be certain that you have backed up your Library's and Playlists and that you are doing the one in the root (if like me you use a HD any old library/playlists instead of deleting them put them some were safe just incase and make sure you are re-creating the library from your root folder i.e user/music/itunes

Seriously thinking of not updating itunes next time...

Why can't itunes locate my music files when they are there?

I think that this happened when I checked off both "keep iTunes media folder organized" and "copy files to iTunes Media Folder when adding to library."I had all of my files located at C:\Users\Beata\Music\iTunes\iTunes Media and then I noticed that itunes made folders for all of of my music files because I have checked off the keep iTunes media folder organized. Ever since then, itunes can't find all of my files but only some of it and I don't want to go one by one to locate all of the songs. All of my songs are located in the same location which is C:\Users\Beata\Music\iTunes\iTunes Media\Music I changed it to this location because all of my song files are located there and the place where it was located before, I didn't find the song files on there. I also noticed that itunes would oragize and create folders for my songs in the my music library and I thought that was the reason why itunes couldn't find the files because they were in the wrong location so I moved all of those folders to C:\Users\Beata\Music\iTunes\iTunes Media\Music So, is it because all of my files are in folders since itunes organized them? All of my files are in album, artist, and song title folders. Where should all of these folders be located at? Also, iTunes creates multiple folders that have the same name and should I just leave the folders be or organize them myself because I have folders that have the same exact name as in the artist and title but it has different song files in the folders. Should I combine the files into the same folder that have the same artist or should I just leave it that way? Please ,I really need help as I have tried almost everything.

ITunes keeps synching extra songs when none are selected.

I have recently decided to redo the way I sync my music to my iPhone because I kept getting duplicate songs and playlists wouldn't sync correctly (and I don't think it's worth it to get iTunes Match). I cleared all of the music off of my iPhone 6 manually to start from scratch, and checked in my phone's settings and even that said 0 songs. I went to sync my phone in iTunes and deselected all albums, songs, playlists and even removed all "manually added songs" and even unchecked sync music so that nothing is set to sync from anywhere (as far as I can tell). Even after this, every time I hit apply, iTunes syncs 67 songs to my phone. The songs are not all the same artist or albums and I can't find anywhere they might come from. I am running Yosemite 10.10 and iOS 8.1. Since my problem is with duplicate songs on my phone I would like to get this resolved before I continue with reworking my library. Any help is appreciated.

I also have the same problem but with two ipods ( one Shuffle 3g 2gig and one nano 6g 8gig) and so i had the shuffle for about a year and the nano i got last week so i restored the shuffle and i put both ipods on sync checked songs only because i gave the shuffle to my younger sister and she only wanted a few songs on her ipod and i did not want her songs on my ipod so i went on the apple support website and saw how to do that and what i tried was to make one playlist and put my sisters songs on that playlist and only check off that playlist to sync the shuffle. when i synced my nano i unchecked all of my sisters songs, the playlist and the albums they were in. But, when i looked at the songs on my ipod all of her songs were on my nano! I think why the songs are still on my nano is because the songs are still in the same genre as some of my songs so my solution would be to take ALL of the songs you do not want on your ipod and simply give them a genre name like itunes only and try that.
Bye hope this helped and sorry for my post being so long

ITunes asking for password varification when videos are playing

Is there a setting that can be changed in iTunes? When I am watching movies on my iMac iTunes will pop up a message stating "check for downloads please enter password" I press cancel and get back to my movie 1-2 min later the same pop up appears and re appears untill I enter the password and then it asks again. I have run anti-virus software on my computer (though I don't see why I had to it is brand new I got it 1 week ago) no viruses. I took it to the apple store and they took a look at it and could not find any virus. So what is going on!!? I thought with the new update to OS X 10.8.3 I tunes would ask for password once and never again while it was running. I get asked for a password varification at least 6 times when I am purchasing from the iTunes store or downloading new content or updating my library. ***!!! I don't mind varifying my password when I am purchasing but when I am watching a movie iTunes needs to turn the **** off!

The new iTunes update mutes the volume when movies are played in full screen. Help?

Yep. After installing 11.1.3, the audio of a movie in iTunes when you switch to full screen plays for a fraction of a second and then goes off. I can play other things in the background (Pandora, ANYTHING with volume) and the volume for those is fine. Full screen iTunes, however, is muted. Furthermore, when I switch from full screen to regular, the audio picks up where it was BEFORE full screen mode and is out of sync until I quit out of the movie and reopen it.
Is this a new 'feature' setting or has the update given us some fun errors and bugs free of charge?

Thanks for your reply AppleMan1958. Unforunately the playback problem was only experienced in the project described, - all other projects played fine....and I tried a lot of different ways to do it...so I really believe the whole project, including the playback (which did not work in the editing window in the right hand corner either, -nothing was shown there and the red marker line would not move across the project) just suddenly become totally corrupt...However, after deleting the project as described above and installing imovie11 I have done the whole thing over again and completed the project without problems this time.
But thanks for the tip anyway!

Why does iTunes report 1GB of photos when there are none?

My iPhone was running out of space so I imported all photos to Aperture and deleted them from the phone after the import.
If I now go to the photos app I see that it is empty, but iTunes reports 1010 pictures occupying 984,9 MB of space on the phone.
I've tried factory resetting the phone and restoring a backup, but that didn't help.

Have you rebooted your iPad? Hold down the sleep and home keys until you see the silver apple and it reboots. See if that helps.
I know with my hotmail it downloaded a bunch of old mail and I had to go through and 'read' it all to get it to be unread.

Help writing a formula to total a list of numbers when some are negative and some are positive

How do I write a formula in Numbers 3.5 that will produce a result that is the sum of some positive and negative numbers, as in
Header 1
57.23
65.44
(75.26)
=
Obviously, if it's just a SUM of all positive numbers, its go to the destination cell, hit the = sign, choose SUM and the cells and you're done, but what if one cell contains a negative number.
I feel like a dunderhead, and I hope someone can help a poor waif.
I am running a MB Pro 15" Retina that is about a month old with Yosemite.
Thanks so much!

It's hard to tell with tables pasted into the forum, but if your "numbers" are left-aligned in your document, then it's possible that Numbers thinks they are text, not numbers, and your SUM formula will show a 0.
If that's happening, try selecting the cells, clicking the Format "paintbrush" upper right, selecting the Cell tab, and choosing Number as Data Format.
The numbers in the column should then be right-aligned, suggesting Numbers recognizes them as numbers, and you can insert a SUM formula just as you would if they were all positive numbers.

Here is a screenshot of all the crashes since this started a week ago:

Any help would be appreciated.

One of the bug reports linked to your crashes says the HTTPS Everywhere extension could be a contributing factor. Would you try disabling it for 48 hours and see whether that makes any difference?
You can do that on the Add-ons page. Either:
* Ctrl+Shift+a
* orange Firefox button (or Tools menu) > Add-ons
In the left column, click Extensions.
Some of these crashes are related to the "Just in Time" (JIT) JavaScript compiler(s). You could try disabling some of those features to see whether that helps. Alternately, you could run Firefox in its Safe Mode for a period of time since that disables them automatically (but in that case, extensions also are disabled).
''To disable individual preferences:''
(1) In a new tab, type or paste '''about:config''' in the address bar and press Enter. Click the button promising to be careful.
(2) In the search box above the list, type or paste '''javas''' and pause while the list is filtered
(3) Double-click the following preferences to switch them to "false":
* javascript.options.baselinejit.chrome (Firefox UI)
* javascript.options.baselinejit.content (page content)
* javascript.options.ion.content (page content)
There might be other relevant items but we're a little out of my depth here.
''If you prefer to test using Firefox's Safe Mode:''
You can restart Firefox in Safe Mode using
Help > Restart with Add-ons Disabled ''(Flash and other plugins still run)''
In the small dialog that should appear after Firefox exits, click "Start in Safe Mode" (''not'' Reset)

Dropdown list not updating when bound db changes

I hope someone can help me. I have a form created by Livecycle Designer ES. It contains a dropdown list populated by a bound to a database table. All works well until the database table is altered. The dropdown list does not reflect the change. It is as if the values were snapshotted when the was saved in Livecycle. I have been unable to find a way to make the list update.
Details:
LiveCycle Designer ES version 8.2.1 - part of Adobe Acrobat Pro 9 with the latest updates.
The table is contained in a SQL Server 2008 R2 database.
The data connection: OLEDB Database,
Provider: Microsoft OLE DB Provider for ODBC Drivers
Connection: UFN
What am I doing wrong?
-Rhinoplasty2012

Hi Paul,
Thanks for helping. I'm using Acrobat to view the PDF form. Thus, shouldn't have any problem connecting to the database.
I've captured some screenshots as below and hope it helps you understand my situation better.
This is my Access database
This is my PDF. Added a data connection "Product" using SQL Query "SELECT ProductCode, ProductName FROM PUB_Product WHERE ActiveInd=yes" whereby it will only extract the "active" products.
Binded the product code dropdown list with "Product" data connection to populate the list.
The output of the PDF form. Only the active products are being listed.
Now, if let's say I add a new product to my PUB_Product table, the dynamic form will straight away list the new product but not the static form.
Dynamic form
Static form
In order to see the new product listed in the static form dropdown list, I have to re-open the form in Live Cycle and just simply save it. So my question is, is there anything I can do to skip this "open and save" step?
Thanks.
Regards,
Steven

Distortion when tracks are changing!

When I am playing my Library with iTunes, and running Internet Explorer, there is a problem during the transition from one track to another.
I am running iTunes in Shuffle mode.
It seems as if there are several versions of the same song playing at one time. Eventually the problem clears up and the tune plays correctly.
Also at the same time the Windows screen doesn't repond to keystrokes immediatly.

No, you can't turn off last played. What is happening at the end of every track, both itunes library files get updated.
First suspect is checking your AV software to make sure it's not preventing itunes from updating those files.
