I have my mp3's organized by filename.. artist name - song name.mp3 ex. Killarmy - 5 stages of consciousness
I have been doing it manually but there has to a different and better way... I have about 4000 songs and i done did 1000 of them in two weeks.. I'm lookin for a script that removes the _ underscore character in filenames, for example Killa-_army_-_5_stages_ofconsiousness.mp3 that ish looks ******** plus i want a clean easy to look and navigate system for my mp3's..
can anyone help? Also any tips and info on running sed scripts would be greatly appreciated as i have never run one yet..
also i tried wikipedia but got nowhwere what is the "standard" format for naming songs and their respective id3 tags?
What are others tips and info for keeping my collection clean and organized by filename and the same thing for cleaning up my id3 tags? I don't like muche less use itunes keep songs organized options as i did not like the way it created hundreds of folders/albums based on the crappy id3 tags..

AUTOMATOR was awesome!!!! it came thru EXACTLY what i needed and wanted..
In basics all i was doing was renaming file's workgroup.. is there a way to save that so that i jus click on it and it comes in and i then jus add my files i want to rework? otherwise i ended up doing set of files by right clickin and goin to automator and basically startin over for each one...
also i found that if you do one run command and then go back and do another one it has no effect? why is that? ex. I replace an (1) with a space on ten files in automator I then click on another workgroup to insert text and run it and NOTHING happens.. i have to close automator and right click and set it all up again... kinda tedious.. but overall mad happy wit the results..
It does not that automator allows me apply it to itunes specifically the ID3 tag info.. so whats the best way to go about cleanin up my id3 tags? anyone?
any more tips and issues on this would help?
two more questions
1. Is it a way to shuffle songs within your playlist?
2. I have my filenames in chronological order but when i xfr em to my ipod they are all out of order, why is that and how do i fix that?
again thanks for all!
oNe
p.s. where is the page up and page down on os x? specificaly macbook pro? i found that if you tap spacebar it will send you to the top of the list/page... any other tips and info? also whats the alternative to ctrlaltdel i had it actually FREEZE up on me once and was scared as not knowin what to do..

Macbook Pro running 10.6.8 and I can't update itunes as it freezes everything! It's open at 'determining gapless playback information' Please help! I've downloaded Combo and it has not help, and have had to force quit on the Mac each time I've tried!

Please help! I have already tried to use the Combo update, which I downloaded today but it has not help. Itunes then freezes at the point of 'determining gapless playback information,' no idea what to do next, please help!!

Deirdre_N,
you can download the latest iTunes (as of this writing) directly from Apple’s servers here. If you’re already running 10.6.8, then there’s no need to redownload the Combo update; iTunes is an independent download.

Welcome to the Apple Support Communities
I don't know why Apple recommended you to upgrade to Mountain Lion, because it shouldn't solve anything related to your documents.
As I can see, you are not using the latest Office update, so install 14.2.5 update for free > http://www.microsoft.com/mac/downloads?pid=Mactopia_Office2011&fid=0F4E073F-4FEC -440D-A9BF-1E01EE9E92AD#viewer If you can't install it, install 14.2.3 first

How do I reinstall help and support center?

compaq notebook Presario V2552US, Window XP home, a friend cleaned up my computer to speed it up and deleted this, I assume.
cannot troubleshoot USB problem. error message "Windows cannot open Help and Support because a system service is not running." To fix this problem, start the service named 'Help and Support'

Your XP Help and Support Center is at your computer's HP Webpage:
Software & Driver Downloads - Compaq Presario V2552US Notebook PC
Here is the specific download file for Help and Support:
Help and Support Center sp35451 V4.3 C
You might take a look at that main page and make sure you have everything else you want / need from for later. Why? There will come a time when XP is no longer supported and it will be harder to get software - if you download your drivers and software now and put them on a flash drive you will be better prepared in case you have issues down the road.
Kind Regards,

Opening Robo Help and saved image is gone

When I insert and image into Robo Help and save and close the program, when I got back in the image is missing, but a large square is in its place. All the text is moved below the image, it seems to still be referencing it but I can't see it. When I originally insert it, it is in the correct place and sized correctly without me doing any adjustments to it. Then when I re-open robo help it is gone, any suggestions?

Please see the sticky thread Before You Post at http://forums.adobe.com/community/robohelp/robohelp_html
You haven't told us what version of RoboHelp you are using.
Also is your project saved locally or on a network drive?

Linux(RH7.3) and 9idevSuite errors (FRM-91111 and FRM-100039)

I have installed 8i and 9i(r2) on a linux server (Redhat 7.3) with databases running. I have installed the 9i Developer Suite (as oracle) in a separate ORACLE_HOME and can successfully start an xterm session, xeyes, etc as the oracle owner. Also I can start the JDev from the 9iDS install - no problem. BUT when I try to start the forms designer (f90desm.sh or f90desm) I get FRM-91111 and FRM-10039 which, from Metalink, tells me there is a problem with the X-windows and the DISPLAY value. I am using enlightenment windows manager (not gnome). Well, like I said I don't have any problem with x processes (see above) and I looked thru metalink and other newsgroups for help and have tried everything suggested. Still getting these errors.

Sorry - No solution here, but perhaps I can add some to the collection of facts
I'm just starting up this learning curve, so be gentle please.
Running SuSE 8.1, KDE3.
Installed developer from downloaded 9.0.2iDS_LINUX.cpio
to a machine with no other oracle products installed.
Had to modify ./bin/genclntsh to get it to link.
#SYSLIBS=`cat ${ORACLE_HOME}/lib/sysliblist`" -ldl -lm -lc"
SYSLIBS=`cat ${ORACLE_HOME}/lib/sysliblist`" -ldl -lm -lc -lgcc_s"
So I admit to being non-standard :(
I start the OC4J HTTP Listener, I can connect to host:8896
My $DISPLAY and xhost permissions are fine, I can run X apps and can run jdev.
./f90desm.sh
FRM-91111: Internal Error: window system startup failure.
FRM-10039: Unable to start up the Form Builder.
In the Bad old days I used to have trouble with some versions of java only working with 8 bit displays. Changed my display to 8 bit, no help.
Tried telnetting in from a SUN and running forms to it's display, same error. (yes, xhost permissions and DISPLAY set correctly and working with other remote X apps.)
Went so far as to "sh -v f90desm.sh" and cut and paste my way though it's actions so I could then "strace f90desm" to look for anything that seemed to jump out at me. I don't know enough to reach any great conclusions, but if anyone thinks it useful I can provide the output.
Suggestions?

Itunes encountered an error and needs to close-HELP!!

Perform a Thorough & Complete Uninstall and Reinstall of iTunes/QuickTime
(Compiled from the collective wisdom of toonz and Da Gopha)
If you want to guarantee a successful upgrade and be proactive about minimizing potential install issues, do the following:
1. Completely Backup your music and iTunes library files.
2. Virus check / spyware scan your machine.
3. Completely remove / uninstall the current version of iTunes and QuickTime from your system.....
3a. - Turn off all security software such as Norton, McAfee, SpySweepers, any TSRs, etc. (exit via the system tray)
3b. - Do a Stepwise clean uninstallation of iTunes
3c. - Then download and install the Microsoft Installer Cleanup Utility
.....And make sure iTunes is really gone.
4. Delete the contents of your temp folder: C:\Documents and Settings\<username>\Local Settings\Temp
5. Reboot the PC
6. Turn off all security software such as Norton, McAfee, SpySweepers, any TSRs, etc. (exit via the system tray)
7. Start with the QuickTime standalone installer run from the PC (not directly from on-line)
8. Reboot the PC
9. Turn off all security software such as Norton, McAfee, SpySweepers, any TSRs, etc. (exit via the system tray)
10. First completely download, then run the latest iTunes Installer from your PC
11. Reboot the PC
The majority of problems out there on the discussion boards are caused by viruses or other system corruption — sometimes self-inflicted by the user (i.e. - people who turn off necessary Windows services) — or out of date drivers. You may want to consider this if your PC falls into one of these categories.

I cannot install the latest version of itunes as I have old versions of bonjour and quicktime. I can't remove these programs either. Help please as I have tried almost everything I have found so far on the the web.

Unfortunately, this sort of trouble has gotten more complicated to deal with ever since Microsoft pulled the Windows Installer CleanUp utility from their Download Center on June 25. First we have to find a copy of the utility.
Let's try Googling. (Best not to use Bing, I think.) Look for a working download site for at least version 3.0 of the Windows Installer CleanUp utility. (The results from mydigitallife and Major Geeks are worth checking.)
After downloading the utility installer file (msicuu2.exe), scan the file for malware, just in case. (I use the free version of Malwarebytes AntiMalware to do single-file scans for that.)
If the file is clean, to install the utility, doubleclick the msicuu2.exe file you've downloaded.
Now run the utility ("Start > All Programs > Windows Install Clean Up"). In the list of programs that appears in CleanUp, select any Bonjour and QuickTime entries and click "Remove".
Quit out of CleanUp. Restart the PC, and try another iTunes install. Does it go through properly this time?

These ones are typically caused by underlying problems on the PC that also often cause Windows Updates to fail to install. If we can fix the Windows Update trouble, we can usually get the iTunes trouble cleaned up en passant.
Go into your Windows update and try to check for new updates. If updates install, stock up on the ones you're behind on, restarting the PC if requested to do so. After the restart, try installing iTunes again. Does it go through this time for you?
If windows updates fail to install, go into your Update History and doubleclick the failures. What alphanumeric codes appear for you? (For example, 8007000B.)

Vista and itunes...error code 2330, please help

I have had this computer for a few months and have no issues downloading anything except for itunes : / I am on a Dell 1535 with 32 bit vista.
When I go to install itunes/quicktime from apple.com, the installer will get through itunes and then about 1/4 way thru quicktime, it stops and gives me the Error Code 2330. It then rolls it back. I have also tried to install quicktime first and then itunes but I continue to get the same error code.
I have contacted Dell who wants to charge me $200 to even TALK to me about this issue, let alone solve it. I have also spoken with apple and we did a few troubleshooting things like:
- the microsoft clean up installer
- installing under a guest account on computer
- applying the misconfig and restarting
I need to call apple back to try some more options but I also wanted to see if anyone on here has had similiar issues and how they solved it.
Each time I tried to install itunes after all of this, the same error code would come back.Every time I install it, I also uninstall it but I have a feeling I am not cleaning it off the computer completely and this may be why it is not working properly for me. Although the VERY first time I tried to install, I received this message as well so maybe that isn't the issue.
I am not a super wiz on the computer but I know the basics, if anyone can suggest what I can do, it would be a huge help!! I know they are compatible and it shouldn't be this complicated to download a simple program, ugh!!
Thanks in advance for your help and happy holidays!

I have the same problem. i have a dell xps m1530 and i continually get a 2330 error message. I took uninstalled itunes when i first got the problem a few months ago and now quicktime won't unistall and i get a 2330 error. I've tried the same things you have and a few more. I've used CCleaner and i've tried using as many help sources from apple but nothing seems to help. Its bothers e that no one has been able to help me. I've called in and no one helps. I hope that someone can help us in this problem.

I am trying to open my iTunes on a Windows XP laptop and get the error message 42404 "iTunes application could not be opened. Please repair or reinstall QuickTime". I did that and it did not help. Any ideas?

Let's see if a more rigorous uninstall/reinstall procedure gets us past that, nancy. See the following troubleshooting document:

Everytime i eject my ipod and reconnect it all my music is gone. and sometimes while i try adding music to it. itunes completely freezes. please help. and sometimes when i plug it back into my PC i have to rename my ipod and such

Everytime i eject my ipod and reconnect it all my music is gone. and sometimes while i try adding music to it. itunes completely freezes. please help. and sometimes when i plug it back into my PC i have to rename my ipod and such

Antivirus has a tendency to freeze iTunes sync Operation with iPod Classic, causing a timeout, which corrupt your iPod filesystem, so when iTunes can't read the iPod, it is pointing to this problem. Other causes is when your iPod hardisk is dying, or your battery is dying causing hardisk crashes.
My suggestion.
Connect your iPod to the PC and run chkdsk, to fix any iPod diskerror, then disconnect it, after chkdsk complete.
Disconnect your PC from Internet. (just to make sure no nasties creep into your system while you syncing.
Stop the Antivirus program
Connect your Ipod to the PC
When iTunes Open up, Restore your iPod please, this is for iTunes to map correctly, to fix the corrupted filesystem.
When Restore complete, eject the iPod and reconnect again.
Sync your ipod, preferably manually Manage in small batches and disconnect after every batch, to check that all is well, since you got such a huge library.
When all sync is complete, and iPod disconnected, start back your Antivirus and connect back the Internet.
If this doesn't resolve your problem, then let me know.
Good Luck!
