ITunes to include SxxExx to the auto naming process

I'm using iTunes to manages my media library. I'm having difficulties with the auto naming associated with TV programmes, is there a way to allow iTunes to name the file so it includes SxxExx?

You're not talking to Apple here. Use iTunes feedback for that.
Are you refering to the naming of the episode within iTunes, or the file on disc?
In principle TV Shows are grouped on the Show field and within a show sub-grouped on Season No. In practice recent builds of iTunes and/or Apple TV/iOS firmware seem to be taking account of Album, Artist & Album Artist in certain views. For consistency I therefore suggest the following approach:
Show = Album = <Show Name>
e.g. "Heroes"
Artist = Album Artist = <Show Name> or <Show Name> Cast (or something like that)
e.g. "Heroes Cast"
Season No. = <Season No.> or <Blank> (Separate seasons or all listed together)
e.g. 1-2
Episode ID = s##e## (This field, sorted alphabetically, controls order)
e.g. s01e01 - s02e34 (use s##e### when >99 episodes - I prefer to use absolute episode no. here)
Episode No. = Track No. = <Absolute Episode No.>
(Can also be per season, but abs. is better) e.g. 1 - 34
Disc No. = <Season No.> (Can be set even if merging seasons)
e.g. 1-2
Taking this approach you can always merge or split into individual seasons simply by clearing or setting the Season No. field.
or
For general tips on organizing media in iTunes see Grouping tracks into albums. Note that sort fields should not be used to link things with different main values.
If you use the scheme above, and you let iTunes manage the media files, you may find they are renamed in a way that suits your needs better.

I have had an iphone 3, 4, 4S, and now a 5. Every picture I have ever taken is saved as "photo". How do I change the auto naming format to a more sequential name?

There is no way to change this.

New iTunes versions no longer display the artist named "+/-"

Ok, so I know the new iTunes versions have put non-alphabetic artists at the end of the list, which is insanely re tar ded. But that's not my problem right now.
With the new sorting algorithm, *one of my artists has actually disappeared!!!*
The band is called +/-. Pronounced "plus minus" but written with just the symbols and the slash.
(Their website is at http://plusmin.us)
They no longer show up anywhere in my iTunes Browser list (View -> Show Browser). Not at the top, not at the bottom, nowhere.
If you turn on View -> Show Browser and search for +/- then in the Artist section (of the music browser) it says "All (0 Artists)" and in the Album section it says "All (7 Albums)" followed by the list of albums. So the music is still there, it just appears that the new iTunes database and search can't really process a band name that starts with anything non-alphanumeric. W T F ?
A seemingly related bug is that when I view the main iTunes library (all artists), and scroll down to where +/- should be at the end of the list, the albums by +/- are not listed together. They are scattered around with my un-tagged tracks and not grouped together, say, like all of my albums by U2. (I also have the same problem with the band named "!!!" in the main library list -- but at least they show up in the Browser list)
Whoever changed the iTunes sorting or database listing algorithm at Apple should fix this (and then be fired). I don't know how to submit this as a BUG to the iTunes team, but I thought maybe posting it here would help.
Does anyone else have any "missing" artists in their iTunes libraries now?
What is Apple thinking? How did this get past QA?
FYI, there was no problem with this before Apple totally changed how artists are listed in the last few updates to iTunes. Why change it if it's not broken?
Ben

Immediately above your post, I explained how you might be able to fix this quickly and easily using Sort fields. You saw how to change multiple Sort fields at once, yes? Have you tried that?
I have a Regina Spektor track called * in my library, and it appears just fine. Just to check, I changed one of my Artist names to +/-, and it was sorted to the end of the library when I sorted by Artist, no problem. +/- also appeared at the bottom of the Artist Browser pane, as I'd expect. If your +/- tracks aren't showing up, perhaps there's another explanation? They're not checked as compilations, are they? Have you tried re-importing them?
If my copy of iTunes has no trouble handling non-alphanumeric fields, that suggests to me that there's something else causing the problem. Sometimes libraries do become corrupted. Providing more information may help.
(I just checked with "!!!" also; that works fine as well.)

How Do I Keep Podcast Episodes in iTunes 11.1.x With the "Auto-remove played episodes" Option Set?

In the previous version of iTunes, I set the podcasts to auto-delete played episodes. If I wanted to keep a specific episode of a podcast, I could right-click that episode and choose to “keep this episode/do not remove this episode”.
Is there a way to do this in iTunes 11.1.x? The option under the right-click menu seems to have disappeared. Is there some kind of new logic to this? Or is the option to keep certain episodes and automatically remove everything else gone?
Basically, I want the behaviour described under Hold on to your hits.

What really cheeses me off here is that Apple isn't allowing users enough customization. With each update of iTunes (and the OS and iOS) we're forced to give up something that worked well for the way we want to use the app and make do with fewer (and lamer) options. If Apple keeps this up, they're going to start losing customers fast. I mean if this isn't fixed soon, I'm pretty sure I'm going to give up on iTunes, and then I'll probably go ahead and get a Galaxy when I need to replace my iPhone.
What I don't understand about how they won't let users delete the list of available podcasts now is why? How is this making it a better program? I can understand that not all users are capable enough to right-click on a feed and select "Show all available episodes", so I can see why they want the complete list to be the default (and, surprise, it already was). But to not give users the option to delete that list? It's inconsiderate because it makes navigating feeds with a large back catalogue really frustrating. I'm flabbergasted that no one at Apple considered all the podcast feeds that keep hundreds of episodes available when they removed this feature. It smacks of rank incompetence.
What improvement were they trying to make here anyway? There was nothing wrong to my mind about how podcasts were managed in previous versions. Whatever improvement they were trying to make here, they should have realized that many users would at least want the option to keep things the way they were.
And reverting to a previous version is no solution. I can't sync my iPhone with the new iOS without this update, and (while I do have some issues--specifically how you can't play podcasts in the Music app anymore) I do like the new iOS.

Automating the Auto Levels process

As part of my work flow after importing the files into Aperture and applying meta data I then apply Auto levels to each image in turn, this is a very manual process involving the mouse and the right arrow key to move to the next image, wait for it to be read then press the auto levels button and then right arrow to the next image.
Is there a way to get Aperture to go through all the images in an Album applying the Auto levels command to each image individually.
It may even by by a keystroke macro process if there is such a one for OSX.
I do not want to lift the adjustments from one corrected image and apply them to all the images as this does not reflect the auto needs of each image.
After auto levelling each image I select the images for customised work.
Thanks for any suggestions.

Yes it worked - you have to redefine the action for each time you run aperture as the button for the auto levels function moves around the screen according to where you have the Aperture window.
You also have to allow for Aperture slowing down so you have to build in a delay before pressing the Auto button.
While running this process you cannot run another app that will sit over the Aperture window or take focus from Aperture.
What surprises me is that the two Auto buttons do not have keystroke alternatives. (or at least I could not find them in the documentation)

SInce updating my iphone 5S to ios 8, iTunes shuts down during the app sync process. Any ideas how to fix? I now have the newest version of itunes on my laptop and it still shuts down.

Since updating my iphone 5s software to ios 8, iTunes shuts down everytime in the app sync process. I have the most current version of Itunes on my laptop. Any ideas of how to fix?

I feel its more of my sync drivers for itunes/iphone not working if that makes sense. Its not my itunes that stops responding, its more of that if the phone syncs up it fails to anything further.
I've tried sync another iphone to the same itunes and windows autoplayer will allow the photos sorted on the iphone to be saved to the laptop but itunes won't even recongise the device is plugged in.
Although it will charge the battery

Unable to set default date for Date Picker item using Auto Row Processing

Okay, I have searched through the forum for an answer, and have not found a thing to account for my problem.
First, does anyone know if using Auto Row Processing has problems updating an item/field in a record where the Source is defined as Database Column if the 'Display As' is defined as 'Date Picker (MM/DD/YYYY)'?
I ask this only because I found out the hard way that Auto Row Processing does NOT fetch the value for an item where the field is defined as TIMESTAMP in the database.
My problem is as follows: I have a form that will CREATE a new record, allowing the user to select dates from Date Pickers, text from Select Lists, and entering in text into a Textarea item. The information is saved using a standard (created through the Auto Row Processing wizared) CREATE page level button. After the record is created the user is able to go into it and update the information. At that time, or later, they will click on one of two buttons, 'ACCEPT' or 'DECLINE'. These are Item level buttons, which set the REQUEST value to 'APPLY' (Accept) and 'UPDATE' (Decline). The Accept button executes a Process that changes the Status Code from 'Initiated' to 'Accepted', and sets the Declined_Accepted_Date to SYSDATE, then another Process SAVEs the record. The Declined button runs a Process that changes the Status Code from 'Initiated' to 'Declined', and sets the Declined_Accepted_Date to SYSDATE, then another Process SAVEs the record.
However, even though the Status Code field is updated in the database record in both Accepted and Declined processing, the Declined_Accepted_Date field remains NULL in the database record (by looking at the records via SQL Developer). WHY??? I looked at the Session State values for both the Status Code and the Declined_Accepted_Date fields and saw that the fields (items) had the expected values after the process that SAVEs the record.
The following is the code from the Accept button Page Process Source/Process:
BEGIN
:P205_STATUS_CD := 'A';
:P205_REF_DECLINE_ACCEPT_DT := SYSDATE;
END;
As can be seen, the Status Code and Declined_Accepted_Date items are set one right after the other.
As an aside, just what is the difference between Temporary Session State vs Permanent Session State? And what is the sequence of events to differentiate the two?

Here's yet another thing that I just looked into, further information...
One other difference between the date field I am having problems with (Accepted_Declined_Date), and other dates (with Date Pickers) in the record is that the Accepted_Declined_Date never gets displayed until after it is set with a default date when the Accept and Decline buttons are pressed.
One of the other dates that works, the Received Date, is able to write a default date to the record that is never typed into the box or selected from the calendar. That date is placed into the box via a Post Calculation Computation in the Source, which I set up as: NVL(:P205_REF_RECEIVED_DT,TO_CHAR(SYSDATE,'MM/DD/YYYY'))
However, I do remember actually trying this also with the Accepted_Declined_Date, and setting the Post Calculation Computation did not work for the Accept_Decline_Date. Could this be because the Accept_Decline_Date is never rendered until the Status Code is set to Declined (in other words, there is no need to display the date and allow the user to change it until the record is actually declined)???
The control of the displaying (rendering) of the date is set via the Conditions / Condition Type: Value of Item in Expression 1 = Expression 2
Expression 1 = P205_STATUS_CD and Expression 2 = L
Does this shed any light???

Auto cash process in sap

Remove leading zeros for invoice lists to allow auto lockbox processing

I have a change request for the following document at my job. but i am very new into it and do not know how to start and what to do exactly? can anyone please help me what to do in this matter.
SAP auto posting process for lockbox checks was created to post cash with minimal manual intervention.
Transaction FLB2 is used to import a lockbox file from Bank of America containing customer payment detail to auto match and clear invoices in the AR subledger. The auto post program tries to match an invoice number from the Reference field to the invoice # in the lockbox file which does not have any leading zeroes. In order to allow this match to happen a user exit was developed to remove any leading zeros from the Reference field in the invoices It works fine for regular invoices but not for the invoice lists u2013 invoice numbers in the 76xxxxxx range. The leading zeros are not removed there, so these invoices fall out of the auto posting process. It has been expressed that we need to improve our automated check posting hit rate for better efficiencies, and to do so we need to have these invoice list invoices fixed in the same way as the regular invoices are.
please advise
Vishal

can anybody please answer it?

When i buy a digital copy, is the iTunes extras included?

I recently bought the Fast Five DVD/Blu-Ray/Digital Copy combo pack. I am curently downloading it and noticed that the "iTunes Extras" is also downloading. In my previous purchases of digital copies, the movies that include a "iTunes Extras" didn't download the "iTunes Extras." (such as The Hangover, Iron Man 2, Toy Story 3, Wall-E and X-Men Origins: Wolverine.) My question is should i have recieved these "iTunes Extras"??

The time it takes will be dependent on your network.

Every movie purchase through iTunes fails to transfer to my iPhone or iPad and the message I get is this: some of the items in the itunes library, including were not copied to the ipad because you are not authorized for them on this computer... help?

For a couple months now, every movie purchase through iTunes fails to transfer to my iPhone or iPad giving me the error: "some of the items in the iTunes library, including were not copied to the iPad because you are not authorized for them on this computer". I have read many forums about deleting, reinstalling, de-authorizing and authorizing my iMac through the iTunes store. Many suggestions don't work except to rename the movie to *.MP4 in Finder under the iTunes movie directory. I imagine this is a setting or a bug somewhere... any suggestions on how to bypass having to rename the files in Finder? My research into Google suggests this problem dates back to 2007 or so but it is now more prevalent than ever.
Thanks.

Error coming up states " warning some of the videos in your iTunes library including video "Dora" were copied to the iPad "ellen's iPad " because they cannot be played on this

I purchased tv shows for my son over 4th of July weekend from iTunes on my iPad...he has been watching with no problem...yesterday I backed up my iPad and the videos were taken off while I was syncing it. Error coming up states " warning some of the videos in your iTunes library including video "Dora" were not copied to the iPad "ellen's iPad " because they cannot be played on this iPad was not copied because the video format is not supported by the iPad.....makes no sense since he watched the video on Friday on my iPad...I went into the properties of the video and under the summary tab states kind of video is mpeg-4video file...went into the folder on my pc and the file is listed as a m4v file...under the tab tv shows when my iPad is connected I have it checked to sync tv shows and to automatically include "all" episodes of "all shows" ....
I am using version 4.3.4 on my iPad and iTunes version 10.4 ...I even restored back to the original settings and still did not work....called apple twice yesterday and spoke to 2 different people and no one could help me.....I am able to load a movie from my pc to my iPad with no problem and the movie is a mpeg-4video file....totally clueless...

I kept having a similar problem - 3 out of the 10 videos I had on iTunes wouldn't sync. They were in the right format and I KNEW they worked on my iPod because I'd RECORDED them on my iPod. I finally figured out what to do! Go to the movies in your iTunes library. Click on one that does not sync. Click on "Advanced" at the top of iTunes and choose "Create iPod or iPhone version". Once that's finished, be sure you delete the old version so you don't keep getting the error (or have 2 copies of the same video) and sync. This should eliminate the problem. At least it did for me!

HT1267 my iphone restored automatically, and now i have lost everything, including apps, contacts, texts etc...i cannot retrieve apps from my itunes as my new itunes did not have all the apps, due to rebooting my comp..can someone help on how i can retrei

My phone automatically restored, and now i have lost everythig apps,contacts,texts..i mean everything.... and my itunes does not have anything as my computer had to be reboot,due to a new hard disk...
Can someone help,i really need my contacts back asap....

well i put my phone on charge, when the connect to itunes icon appeared.therefore, resulting in restorage of the phone.
The prompt to connect to iTunes is automatic, but not the restore process. You must manually select restore. There is no automatic restore.
in order to re-download apps, i will need to re-purchase...and i cannot afford the amount,
Read the link I provided. Had you done so, you would know you do not have to re-purchase apps when re-downloaded.
but to be honest, i am concerned about my contacts. which have completely disapeared and i just want them back.
Unless your contacts were synced with a supported address book app on your computer as designed and intended and your contacts were included with your computer's backup, or unless your contacts are available online with a free Apple iCloud account, with a free Yahoo account, or with a free Gmail account with all providing the ability to sync contacts over the air, your contacts are gone.

My computer broke and i lost all files including ITunes. what happens to all the stuff purchased already. will this appear in itues when i download it agian? how can i save the music on my ipod and transfere it over to the new itunes?

Unfortunely, all movies and songs purchased in iTunes will be lost...you'll have to purchase them again! Any applications you've purchased, you can download again for free.
Music Rescue is a program you can use to transfer any and all data (music, movies, pictures..) from your iPod to your computer, and iTunes.

We are trying to package our iTunes Windows and we can't stop the auto update feature. How can we do this?

We have consultants here packaging many of our Apps for deployment with Windows 7. We cannot find a way to turn off the auto update feature within iTunes for Windows. Has someone been successful in packaging iTunes for Windows and NOT do the auto update piece?

The Apple advice revolves around the editing the registry:
Windows OS Managed Client: How to manage iTunes control features
... but it's beyond my competence to advise how to work that particular registry edit into a deployment, I'm afraid.
