ITunes is not updating file names and locations since upgrading to 10.2.2.12

It saves the changes I make to the metadata, but the filenames themselves and the actual locations of the files are not changing.
Good example of this is changing a video file from Movie to TV Show. It does change the location within iTunes, but the file itself remains in the Movies folder, right where it was before.
This was working perfectly before upgrading earlier this morning to version 10.2.2.12.
I have double-checked and iTunes is still set to organize my library for me.
Any help would be appreciated, even if it's just to let me know that it's a known issue with this new version.
I am running Windows 7 (64 bit).

     If you organize your iTunes media folder yourself, DO NOT DO WHAT JonSS DID!.   It will move all your files to folders with the artists name on them instead of by album.  It fixed the video podcasts (and apparent other kinds of video files -  I haven't checked yet) being sent to their respective folders but totally borked my music file system.
      This is fine for me and my iPod Touch, but, my wife has a non-Apple mp3 player and she likes to find music by artist+album. Now all the Compilation Albums are in multiple folders (i.e. The Animal House Sndtrk is not in one folder but in 11 different artist folders in the main Media folder).
      This has happened in the past and I hope some overworked and undereducated (maybe overeducated and underworked is correct?) coder is feverishly trying to fix this. 
     I recommend a reinstall of 10.2.1 to keep control of your library yourself and have the newly downloaded video files assigned to their proper folders.  (btw, if your looking for your recently d/l'd video Podcasts, they are in the Downloads folder as psuedo tmp.mp4 files).  This seems to be a problem with just the video files.  I don't use iTunes to watch my video files. I either watch them on my Touch or on Windows Media Center on my HTPC. So having each show/podcast in it's respective folder is important to keep track of them.
Luckily, I recently backed up my iTunes Media Folder for a re-install and will use it when I reinstall 10.2.1 (I have approximately 16,000 music files from my CD collection, OS-level organization is quite important)
Fix one thing...break 3 other things...ahh, the life of a "cut & paste" coder...I knew it well...
Now I have to find a different RSS-based video Podcast downloader...any suggestions?

  • File to File and then Call ABAP Program and pass file name and location

    Hi
    I am new to PI and am working on the following requirement and some guidance would help:
    A file is picked up from a third party server using FTP and is put in an SAP server in a specific location. After I have put in the file successfully, I need to call an ABAP program and provide the name and location of the file for further processing by the ABAP program.
    Although I am familiar with File to File, how can I add in the ABAP call with the filename and location? I do not want to pass any other information to the ABAP program.
    Thanks for your help.
    Manoj

    I think I get what you're saying. This additional file would have the file and the path in it's content. I would then use this as a source (FCC?) for Mapping with the RFC. Right?
    Exactly and yes, FCC would be helpful
    Would you have a sample OS script to do the above?
    Actually it depends on the operating system on which your PI system is standing. For instance for Windows, you might try with the following as a start point (but I was not able to test it, so I can't guarantee it will do the job):
    cmd.exe /C "%f %F > C:\target_directory\%DATE%_%TIME%.txt"
    In case you needed more, try googling on "windows batch script" or similar.
    Hope this helps,

  • Suppress dialog, preset destination file name and location

    In acrobat 4 I could write a registry setting that would preset the output
    filename and location, print to adobe pdf writer, not get prompted, and the
    file would be created with the name and in the location I set.
    [HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Adobe\Acrobat PDFWriter]
    "PDFFileName"="X:\\Output\\myFileName.pdf"
    What is the equivalent in version 8?

    Thanks.<br /><br />I will read through it more.<br />Having only worked with the PDFWriter, this is what is new to me:<br />"PrinterJobControl"<br /><br />[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Adobe\Acrobat <br />Distiller\PrinterJobControl]"C:\Program Files\Windows <br />NT\Accessories\wordpad.exe" ="c:\MyPDFoutputFileName.pdf"<br /><br />This seems like like I am presetting my application output, correct?<br /><br />>>>><br />Programmatic control<br /><br />Prompting can be turned off programmatically by adding a key to the Windows <br />registry. This method applies to the creation of only one PDF document by a <br />specific application for the current user. To use this method, add the <br />following registry key:<br /><br />HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Adobe\Acrobat Distiller\PrinterJobControl<br /><br />This key takes as subkeys:<br /><br />(Default)application<br /><br />The (Default) entry is reserved for possible future use and is not to be <br />used.<br /><br />The application subkey is the full path of the application for which <br />prompting is to be turned off. The value of the application subkey is a <br />REG_SZ value that is the full path of the output file. For example, the <br />following registry script would turn off prompting for the next printing <br />performed by wordpad.exe, printing to the file c:\MyPDFoutputFileName.pdf:<br /><br />Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00<br /><br />[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Adobe\Acrobat <br />Distiller\PrinterJobControl]"C:\Program Files\Windows <br />NT\Accessories\wordpad.exe" ="c:\MyPDFoutputFileName.pdf"<br /><br />Note:Though the programming language may require that your backslashes are <br />escaped (for example, "c:\\MyPDFoutputFileName.pdf"), the value of the <br />registry entry must use single slashes. This key, once established, remains <br />until used and is removed once the Windows API function StartDoc(HDC hdc, <br />CONST DOCINFO* lpdi) has successfully completed. Also note that the output <br />folder path must already exist with read and write access for the current <br />user and the destination file must not exist.<<<<br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><Bernd Alheit> wrote in message news:[email protected]...<br />> Look at the document 'Acrobat Distiller API Reference' of the Acrobat SDK. <br />> There read the section 'Disabling prompts for output file names'.

  • Exporting catalog, making changes, then importing catalog does not update file movements and deletions

    I export part of my master catalog to a laptop.  I include the image files so I can edit the files at full res.  After managing and editing files I import the catalog back into the master catalog. When importing I check to replace metadata, develop settings and negative files. I have been running some tests to be sure all my work is being captured in the master catalog by this process.  I find that if I change develop settings or photo ratings this is detected when the file is imported and the data in the master catalog is updated properly.  The surprise is that if I delete files or move files among folders in the exported catalog these changes are not detected and these changes are not updated inthe master catalog.  It seems bizarre to me that such changes are not detected but I do not see how to get LR to recognize these changes and include them in the catalog update.  Without this capability I don't see how to use catalogs to move part of a catalog to another computer for edits and file management and then move back to the master catalog.

    There are various reasons why Lightroom works this way, but you'll need use pick flags to indicate photos to be deleted, and other metadata like colours or collections.

  • XML datasource: dynamic file name and location

    I have an RDF file that uses an XML file as its datasouce. I have supplied it a valid DTD file location and a valid XML file location, via the report wizard.

  • Itunes could not copy [File Name] because the file could not be read.

    Im trying to sync my ipod with my newly updated collection in itunes. But im getting the above error on random songs during the update process. Sometimes it will get 100/3000 songs complete before i get the error. Other times it only gets 4/3000. There doesnt seem to be a connection to the songs it has trouble on either. Some of the songs are newly added, and some of the songs i already had on my ipod. But it seemed to want to wipe my ipod clean first because i had changed too much in itunes or something. After i get the error itunes seems to think i have disconnected the ipod and wont detect it again until i unmount/mount again. My ipod library also stays empty, even when it gets 100/3000 songs synced before the error.
    I am using windows 7 and an ipod touch version 4.2.1

    Two possibilities come to mind.
    Check your source hard drive for errors, right-click on the drive holding the library, click Properties, tools, check for errors, scan for and attempt recovery of bad sectors...
    Or...
    Repair Security Permissions
    Right-click on your main iTunes folder and click Properties, then go to the Security tab and click Advanced. If necessary grant your account and SYSTEM full control of this folder, subfolders and files, then tick the option to replace permissions on child objects which will repair permissions throughout the library. This is the XP dialog but Windows 7 shouldn't be too different.
    If it won't let you change the permissions use the Owner tab to take ownership from an account with administrator privileges.

  • (10.8) Finder.app does not update file lists and Dropbox stops syncing, could they be related?

    The Finder on three identical, brand new, iMacs does not refresh when new files are added or removed from a folder. They were all purchased about a month before the release of Mountain Lion and were upgraded upon release. The problem is intermittent, and does not affect the Spotlight or other computers viewing the filesystem remotely. Occasionally, the mini-finder will see a file when using the open command in a program.
    At the same time, the Dropbox app on one of the computers stops syncing properly (though, realistically it may be a problem on all three and I'm only noticing it on the iMac I use). The app will regularly tell me that it is fully synced, but is not uploading changes made on the local computer. This problem has persisted through versions.
    I've been unable to find information on either of these problems seperately, and I am beginning to consider that they may be related or that another application is the cause of the problem.
    What steps can I take to trying to track down the cause of these issues--I am relatively new to troubleshoot Macs?
    Some of the software that these iMacs have in common is Microsoft Office 2011, Adobe Creative Suites 6, Avast! antivirus for mac, smcfancontrol, and Dropbox.

    The basic issue with Finder is that it's ill-designed and slow to update and has been that way for years. The best way to get it to update is to OPTION-click and hold the Finder's Dock icon and select RELAUNCH.
    Then, join the crowd and File a bug report with Apple about this shortcoming..
    I know nothing about Dropbox, so can't comment on it.

  • Save As with suggested file name and folder

    I would like the user to be able to press a save button on the pdf and the "Save As dialogue box" pops up pre-populated with a file name and location choosen. The user can then choose to name the file something otherwise or select a new location. I would just like to save them the steps of copying the field data and finding the correct folder (deeply buried on server) however to place the finished document in.
    This doesn't seem to require a trusted function, but how do I suggest the file name based on a field name in the document. And how do I suggest the folder the document should be saved into?
    Thanks in adavance.

    Hi,
    you need a folder level script to use the browseForDoc method.

    Have recently updated Adobe Reader and now unable to open downloaded documents - Message received is could not open 'file name.pdf' because it is either not a supported file type or because the file has been damaged (for example, it was sent as an email attachment and wasn't correctly decoded). When I check the file it shows Zero KB downloaded but the file appears - any suggestions?

    Obviously your download was not successful.
    What is your operating system?  How exactly do you download such files?

  • I can not transfer date from one hard drive to another, I keep getting an error because I have two of the same file names and one file name is in caps and I cant change the file name

    can not transfer date from one hard drive to another, I keep getting an error because I have two of the same file names and one file name is in caps and I cant change the file name. My original external has an error and needs to be reformatted but I dont want to lose this informations its my entire Itunes library.

    Sounds like the source drive is formatted as case sensitive and the destination drive is not. The preferred format for OS X is case insensitive unless there is a compelling reason to go case sensitive.
    Why can't you change the filename? Is it because the source drive is having problems?  If so is this happening with only one or two or a few files? If so the best thing would be to copy those over individually and then rename them on the destination drive.
    If it is more then you can do manually and you can't change the name on the source you will have to reformat the destination as case sensitive.
    Btw this group is for discussion of the Support Communities itself, you;d do better posting to Lion group. I'll see if a host will move it.

    Go to Control Panel > Add or Remove Programs (Win XP) or Programs and Features (later)
    Remove all of these items in the following order:
    iTunes
    Apple Software Update
    Apple Mobile Device Support (if this won't uninstall move on to the next item)
    Bonjour
    Apple Application Support
    Reboot, download iTunes, then reinstall, either using an account with administrative rights, or right-clicking the downloaded installer and selecting Run as Administrator.
    The uninstall and reinstall process will preserve your iTunes library and settings, but ideally you would back up the library and your other important personal documents and data on a regular basis. See this user tip for a suggested technique.
