ITunes can't find artists beginning with THE

My music collection was getting too large for my internal hard drive so I changed the location of my iTunes folder to my external drive, where there was already a back up of all my music. This I create by directly copying the itunes music folder every so often. Keep itunes organised is checked. When I changed the folder location, it did updating library, then asked if I wanted to organise the folder which I did.
However now, it won't find certain tracks/albums, says the orignal file location cannot be found do I want to locate...
It appears that itunes can't find any track whose artist begins with the word THE, although they are in folders called "The...." in the correct music folder.
I just updated to the latest version of itunes.
Does anyone know what might be going on???

Something similar happened to me. iTunes could not find any music that had the track number at the beginning of the name (an option in Advanced->Import section). My purchased music also had track numbers, but I don't know if Apple did that, or if my own iTunes did it.
At some point, I had turned off this option, so all the songs I imported after that were found just fine. When I deleted the track numbers from the file names, iTunes found them just fine. I have way too many files to change all the name manually however. Changing the naming option in the iTunes preferences did not make a difference to the problem.

where can i find a pdf with the dutch version of the manual for lightroom 6

I don't think it's available yet. The English help page has a link to it:
https://helpx.adobe.com/lightroom/topics.html
But the equivalent page for Netherlands only links to prior versions:
Help bij Lightroom | Help bij Lightroom
Same for DE, FR, ES. Maybe someone more enlightened knows if they're available somewhere else on Adobe's site.

Artists beginning with The arent displayed in "right" order

When using german as language setting, in iTunes 7+ groups beginning with "The" arent listed in the "right" order. That means The Beatles are shown with other Artists beginning with T instead of the ones with B.
Instead, Artists beginning with "Die", the german word for "The" are now shown in "right" order.
This second is a nice feature, but the first is far more neccessary. Does anybody know to which contact at apple i may complain about this behaviour?

To correct this in 7.1, just use the "Artist Sort" field.
1) Get Info on a track by The Beatles.
2) Select the Sorting tab.
3) Enter "Beatles" into Artist Sort.
4) Exit the info window and control-click the track.
5) Select Apply Sort Field > Same Artist.
This will copy "Beatles" into the Artist Sort field for all tracks by "The Beatles". They should then appear under B.

Can I find my ipod with the serial number :o

I lost my ipod and I was wondering if I could find that ipod with the serial number

No
- If you previously turned on FIndMyiPod on the iPod in Settings>iCloud and wifi is on and connected go to iCloud: Find My iPhone, sign in and go to FIndMyiPhone. If the iPod has been restored it will never show up.
- You can also wipe/erase the iPod and have the iPod play a sound via iCloud.
- If not shown, then you will have to use the old fashioned way, like if you lost a wallet or purse.
- Change the passwords for all accounts used on the iPod and report to police
- There is no way to prevent someone from restoring the iPod (it erases it) using it.
- Apple will do nothing without a court order

Wrong alphabetical order if artists begins with "The"

This changed in iTunes 5 and stayed the same in iTunes 6, bt was correct in iTunes 4. This one effects only localized versions (German one), I think.
In iTunes 4, a leading "The" in the artist name, like "The Doors", was ignored and "The Doors" showed up amongst all other "D-artists". Since iTunes 5, all artist starting with "The" are listed unter "T", which is... annoying.
Please, please, change this again, release iTunes 7 next week if necessary, call it iTunes 11 if you like, or simply patch the German localization as appropriate, because we also say "The Doors", not "Die Doors" (which, by the way, would be handled correctly by a German version of iTunes)

Florian,
Das Problem lässt sich recht einfach lösen - die Lokalisierung war ziemlich gründlich:
Ctrl-Click auf iTunes in Programme: "Paketinhalt Zeigen"
Contents
Resources
German.lproj
Localizable.strings mit einem Editor öffnen.
NACH "DIE" in Großbuchstaben suchen ...
Es sollten folgende Zeilen auftauchen:
/* ===== Reordered Artist Strings ===== */
"146.001" = "Die ";
"146.002" = "%1, Die";
"146.003" = "die ";
"146.004" = "%1, die";
"146.005" = "DIE ";
"146.006" = "%1, DIE";
Diese Zeilen wie folgt ändern:
/* ===== Reordered Artist Strings ===== */
"146.001" = "Die ";
"146.002" = "%1, Die";
"146.003" = "die ";
"146.004" = "%1, die";
"146.005" = "DIE ";
"146.006" = "%1, DIE";
"146.007" = "The ";
"146.008" = "%1, The";
"146.009" = "the ";

HT4061 How can i find my ipad with the serial number

How can I find my iPad with serial number

I had FindMyPhone installed and activated on MY Lost iPad (now with a new "owner") and it NEVER worked EVER!
There is/was no such thing as FindMyiPad...ONLY FindMyPhone. It WAS installed (I dont own an iPhone) AND activated! I suspect that unless you have 4G device it is worthless. Actually I know this for a fact!
AND, I knew that the new "Owner" had gone online (despite FindMyPhone telling me otherwise and NEVER locking my iPad) because Dropbox on my laptop suddenly had new photos that were taken by the new "owner".
I am now of the mind that Apple does not want us to find our lost or stolen gadgets. They make money off us when we replace them. Do what I am going to do: BUY USED!
So sorry, I feel your pain.

Library Transferred But iTunes Can't Find 1/2 of the Tracks! Help!

Okay, I am repeatedly having this problem and I'm tired of spending a whole day (hours & hours) every time it happens. I like to run my iTunes off an external hard drive because the library is so large it would clog up two of my three computers anyway. Only my home desktop has the capacity to hold my music library and I keep a full back-up copy of it loaded on there anyway. My laptop's tiny hard drive wouldn't even be large enough to load my monster library. And I couldn't load it on my office machine if I wanted to. sigh
Anyway, when I have had to transfer my back-up library (I've had two computer crashes which required it sigh) and when I have had to replace my laptop and set it up again... and basically each and every time I set up a computer to recognize the library on the external hard drive, this has happened...
Okay, I do all the full protocol. If restoring a back-up, then obviously I copy over all the iTunes Media folder contents. If just getting the machine to recognize the external hard drive, then I copy the Music library files and I set up the preferences to point to the external drive. No problem. iTunes finds the drive, all my music files etc. pop up with all my playlists. You'd think we'd be in business.
But if you try to play them or sync, a curious thing happens. It will be able to find like 1/2 or 2/3 or whatever of them... but like a gazillion songs and movies it won't be able to find. They're right out there... and they're listed... but it claims it can't find them. If I go to play it... it will ask if I want to go manually locate it. So, I do... then it will say, if I want it to try and find the other missing content based on its location. Sure I do. It tries and sometimes finds some of it. But, invariably, I end up sitting there, every stinking time, and manually finding like 100 or 200 songs or movies. Can you spell T-E-D-I-0-U-S????
Can anyone suggest why it is doing this and how to fix it? Oh yeah... and of course my library is consolidated and I let it manage/organize it... though it really seems to be jumbling and mixing thing up ever since I did ... cuz I notice now that not all my audiobooks are together... I've got stuff in weird grouped files... so I think it is drunk... but if I were to rearrange it... Lord Knows it would probably never find anything again. Grrrrr.

The biggest problem with an exHD is when windows decides to give it a different drive letter without asking/telling you. This can make itunes lose the paths to songs. It's easy to fix but a lot of people don't know to do it: assign a permanent drive letter to the exHD.

Another thing, when you do this
+Okay, I do all the full protocol. If restoring a back-up, then obviously I copy over all the iTunes Media folder contents+
You are only getting part of itunes. There is itunes library content and the itunes library database. The content is all the songs, movies, podcasts, etc.
The database is the play lists, ratings, play counts, etc.
The default for the database is always on the C: drive unless you move it to the exHD and do a shift-start. That is the way mine is set up.

HT1391 can I find my computer with the locator if it is turned off?

I cannot locate my Mac Book Pro. I bought it last fall. Its fairly new. Its the model that came out just before the mac books with retina display. But i have tried locating and tracking it with the find my iphone serivice on icloud. But the computer is dead and turned off, and my question is- can It still be located or tracked.

Not if Find My Mac is off and/or the computer isn't turned - that will only work if it's connected to a network and the computer hasn't been wiped and/or Find My Mac disabled on it.
If you think that it was stolen then you should report it to the police. You should also change your iTunes account password, your email account passwords, and any passwords that you'd stored on it e.g. on websites/emails/notes/documents etc.

Can't find some strings with the Find function in LV2012

Hi
I got a problem with the "Find function" in LV2012.
The Find function can't find the text "IniFile: WriteKeys" in the string constant in the innercase.
Why is that?
I have tried to plase a copy of the constant(se next picture) and then it can only find the one marked with yellow!
regards Bjarne

Hi Anders.
Thank you
I have tried the things you suggested and my strings are exactly the same and it didn't work to put the outside-string(that could be found) inside the case.
Here is the VI but be aware the broken arrow, because the sub VIs is not incorporated
By the way, my name is Bjarne, not Bjarke
Regards Bjarne

Can I find my iphone with the IMIE code

Dear All,
I was lost my iphone yesterday night. I want to find it with the phone IMIE,
Can it be done or any other i can do? thank a lot

In a word, no.
With firmware update 3.0 along with a MobileMe account, you will be able to locate your iPhone (if on).
Location services with the iPhone requires approving the service each time for privacy concerns.
Did you have the Passcode lock feature enabled along with the erase data option - which erases all content and settings after 10 failed passcode attempts?
If not, you should change the email account password for every email account that you were accessing with the iPhone's Mail client.
