Lost ability to add multiple copies of a song to Shuffle

I lost the ability to add multiple copies of the same song to my iPod Shuffle since updating my software.
Since updating my software, I lost the ability to add multiple copies of a song to the shuffle. Before the updates, I could add as many copies as I wanted. I liked having multiple copies of my favorite songs, so that I could hear certain songs over and over again when I was in the linear play mode.
I also don't have a manual update option on my shuffle. I actually dont know if I ever had this option. I just noticed others were talking about it and that your site mentioned the option, so I was trying to use the function to avoid the automatic updating and inadvertent loss of songs that may no longer be in my library. I guess I have to live with the auto-update feature, since I think the Shuffle is simply lacking this feature that is found in the more expensive iPODs.
I just updated to iTunes 6.0, hoping that this latest update would fix my problems, but there was no change. I still have the problem with not being able to ad multiple copies of the same song.
Any ideas?

Thank you for the tip about renaming the song. I will try it, although I think it may not help since I don't have any way to uncheck the autofill option. As it turns out, the Shuffles don't have the option for a manual update. If I change the name of the songs, it will simply erase the original song, since it will no longer be in the library. I think there is a chance it will work, until I reinsert the Shuffle to make changes. That would be OK, if it worked temporarily, so I am hopeful that it might work. I may also be able to trick the Shuffle by adding the song from a playlist, in which I have renamed the song only on the list, not in the library.
This just bugs me, since I could add multiple copies before the updates.
I just tried to change the name of a song on a playlist, but shuffle changed the name everywhere in the iTunes application. It looks like iTunes may be a little like Microsoft Word, in that it starts making corrections all by itself. In general, I dont like it when things start changing all by themselves.
I may try to ditch the updates and go back to the original software.

Please add the ability to add multiple folders to the assets folder in order to better organize large numbers of files.

Hello KDLadage
Thank you for your recommendation. I understand the challenges of managing large numbers of files on the My Files page. I also understand the need to preserve project files.
Perhaps a compromise would be to create an Archive tab under My Files. Previous versions and retired project files could then be automatically moved into this holding area when a new version is published, thus preserving the files in a separate area that is still accessible to the author.
I will submit this suggestion to our product management team to consider as a future enhancement.

Ability to add multiple email addresses to the same contact person

Hello SRM Experts,
I have a question in SRM 5.0
In "Personal Data" tab of "Employee Data" in Manage Business Partner, we have the ability to add multiple email address. But only one email can be selected as standard.
We have a new requiremnt that more than one email address has to be selected. Which means, when a bid invitation is published, the email notification has to go to all the email addresses from that list.
How can this be achieved?
Any information would be appreciated.
Thank you

By default the system send intimation to only one email id to the contact person.
If you want to be send to the multiple email id for a contact person. you need to implement the same in the BADI..
Try to find the BADI which is called on save of Bid invitation. You can check of the 'Published' status in the BADI method and fire the emails as required.

Ramesh

TS1382 I want to add multiples of the same song from different playlists to my ipod but iTunes wont let me. How can I override this so that I get the songs I want on my ipod?

I want to add multiples of the same song from different playlists to my ipod but iTunes wont let me. How can I override this so that I get the songs I want on my ipod?

You can sync those different playlists to the iPod, and the song appears on each playlist. However, the song is stored on the iPod once. What is the practical reason for wanting to store the same song file multiple times (and waste storage space) on the iPod?

Multiple Copies of Same Song/Movie

Every time I sync something new to my AppleTV I see many, many copies of that item on the device interfaces. It seems to fix itself after a while, but I have no idea how/why.
I also have to say that the fact that the pin entry on screen in BIG FRIGGING NUMBERS is absolutely stupid. I have to send my kids out of the room to buy anything. Why not allow for a directional pin that does not appear on the screen? Up, Up, Down, Down or something like that. Of course, Apple will simply ignore this idea because Apple ignores everyone because Apple assumes it can do no wrong.

I just bought AppleTV a couple of weeks ago. The 160GB model. I too have noticed that when I sync (add) to the AppleTV there are multiple copies of it in the "My Movies" List. I checked the content that I have on the AppleTV through iTunes and it shows that I only have one copy of it. So I think there is a software bug that displays it multiple times.
Last night I bought "Zodiac" When I turned the TV on this morning I saw 8 zodiac listings on the AppleTV. I just purchased "No Country for Old Men". It is in the middle of downloading. I hope it doesn't show multiple listings.

Multiple copies of same songs in itunes

i-tunes is showing multiple copies of the same songs in the library....any ideas why? Not all songs have multiple copies, which is even stranger!
Also, other than working through manually and deleting the duplicates (2,500!), is there a way I can delete them with a simple command?
The song files are held on an external drive, to free up space on the c.
Any ideas.....?
Windows XP Pro

First in iTunes select the main library list on the left side in the source list. Now goto Edit menu and select "Show DUplicate songs".
Now if you have ! marks beside songs, then these songs are dead/broken links and there are scripts you can run to auto remove them. SOmetimes the mark will not show til you try to play it.
If theres no marks, It'll be hard. These alot of scripts to remove duplicates in the Mac version of iTunes but none I personally know of for the windows version, you have to manually go thru it all.
Rictclick each dup and hit "Get Info" to see there location, you may have multiple copys of the same song in different locations. The Location of the songs will be listed on the summery tab.

Multiple copies of same song, how to delete?

I have multiple copies of all my music. I am not sure how this happened. Yet when I try to delete any of the copies, I am unable to play the songs in iTunes.
Is there a way to automatically remove all copies of the same song? A setting to change to allow me to delete the copies, yet retain the file?

if you only have 1 actual version of the file on your disk, but have multiple entries in itunes, then just select all but 1 of the mulitple entries, hit delete, and when it asks you whether to 'keep files' or 'move to trash' click on keep files,
This then only deletes the 'link' to the files. and should leave your itunes looking tidier with 1 remaining link in the list.
If you DO have loads of the actual .mp3 file saved too, you can use the menu item, "View > Show Duplicates" to find them (you can do that anyway if you like). but when you delete them tell it to 'send to trash' if you want the files binning too.
To address the problem of how you ended up with all these files, maybe you need to let itunes manage your library for you? (if it doesn't already?)
under preferences there is a general tab under advanced options asking you whether to keep music oganized & copy files to the library when imported. with both these boxes checked it's easier to keep track of stuff and not get multiple copies going on.
Also make sure the path to your library is pointing to the right folder under the itunes music location heading on the same preference page. Then go back to iTunes and hit the menu "Advanced > Consolidate Library".
this will make sure everything that appears in your iTUNES lists, is actually kept in the iTunes library, and again makes it easier not to get thiings muddled up.
good luck

How to Enhance search help for product groups. Currently no ability to add multiple lines from result list

Hi All,
In CRM Web UI, there is no multi selection option for product group id f4 help for Custmer event creation or edit screen under “Product” tab=> Product Group ID field.
Web UI Component Details -
UI component : TPMOE
View : TPMOE/ProductEOL
Context: PRODUCT Attribute : -PRODUCT_GRUOP
Click on Product Group ID field then below F4 Help screen appears.
In the product group results list, user can select only one row and Then all the product will be queried for selected product group, transferred to product list tab.
Current technical design for Product Group F4:
a) SE11 Data Dictionary search help “CRM_MKTPL_PGRP1” is used and data is fetched displayed based it( Refer method GET_V_PRODUCT_GROUP of context node class CL_TPMOE_PRODUCTEOL_CN00)
b) In UI, F4 pop up is handled by UI Framework in SAP generic manner so no multi selection is allowed.
c) A round trip event is triggered after selection of row from results which reload view with queried product result based group selected.
Requirement :-
In the product group F4 results list View, user should be able to select multiple row .As SAP GUI has the option of multiple entry selection from search help window with the help of field called MULTISEL.
System should query for products with all selected product group, transferred to product list tab.
Note: - The multi select options works fine for GUI, but for UI standard SAP code ignores this or never is this structure taken into consideration. Standard class to display F4 help on UI is CL_THTMLB_F4HELP.
Can we enforce same behavior like DDIC search help in Web UI too Or suggest how we can achieve this requirement?
Thanks in advance
Regards,
Arjun

Hello All,
We have achieved this requirement by Custom development and approach followed as -
Define UI object model zprgrp & zprgrpquery and object relationship in table ZCRM_OBJTAB
Query Strcuture : ZCRMST_PRGRP_SEARCH & Result List structure : ZCRMST_PRGRP_RESULT
Created Custom component : ZPRGRP with Search /Result view and with GENIL Class, search logic
Defined custom ComponentUsage “ProductGroup1SearchHelp” for ZPRGRP in Standard Component TPMOE
e. Called F4 application for field product _group with help component usage created in step d.

Arjun

Lost ability to add, delete and move email addy's in Address Panel

Not long ago I downloaded Snow Leopard 10.6.3 from disc and then upgraded to 10.6.8. Perhaps a coincidence, but now I see I'm no longer able to use Address Panel as I previously had. Specifically: I recall there had been + and - buttons to add and delete email addresses, but now I don't see these ~ perhaps I'm looking for the wrong thing? Also, I can't drag and drop an addy from one group to another as I previously had. I'm using Mail 4.6.
Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Other than the Snow Leopard download, I've no idea what may have caused this problem. Or perhaps I simply don't know where to look ~
Thank you!

My bad ( : - 0 ! I figured this out:
It's Address Book ~ not Address Panel ~ that does the trick.
Thanks!

Ability to add multiple apps to Open With file associations

It would be extremely helpful if Bridge's "file association" dialog allowed one to associate multiple applications with a file type, so the Open With function worked like Lightroom's Edit In function which allows the use of multiple external editors. As it is currently designed, only one new "default" association can be changed/added. A current list of other available "editors" also appears in the Open With context menu, but it is unclear (at least to me) where that list comes from because there are some pretty strange entries in the list for any specific file type.
Thanks

Agreed -- I've always been curious as to what random generator Bridge uses to assign programs with file types.

[Aperture 3] Lost Ability to keyword multiple photos

I hope the title was somewhat descriptive without being too long...
Anyway, I'm a fairly committed used of Keywords, or tags. (In fact, moreso than the built in metadata which I could probably use more appropriate, but that's a post for a different day...)
I'm pretty behind on sorting, rating, tagging my photos, and started work on catching up this past week. I immediately noticed that where I used to be able to select multiple photos in the browser, and then 1) remove unwanted keywords in bulk and/or 2) apply keywords in bulk to multiple photos, I can no longer do so.
I've restarted Aperture, as well as my computer in case something in the DB was hung, but neither seems to make a difference. I haven't changed any settings in Aperture. So...?
Any thoughts/ideas on what may be going on, or more importantly, how to rectify, and I would GREATLY appreciate it!!
thanks
nick
UPDATE:
It wasn't until I posted this that I found another discussion thread on the same topic - THE FIX:: Somehow EDIT\PRIMARY ONLY got selected, and unchecking that fixed the issue.
Sorry for extra spam on the boards here - moderator may delete.
thanks!

Hi Ron
Open Organizer and press Ctrl+K to bring up preferences.
Along the bottom row of buttons try clicking the one to the left “Restore Default Settings”
Close the program and re-open it. See if that works.

Lost ability to create multiple tabs

I've been able to create multiple tabs by clicking the "plus" sign at the right of the current tab. Haven't been able to do that for some reason. I usually create several tabs so I can view several sites by clicking any tab.

Yes, just recently upgraded, so I got confused about the QT/FCP movie.
Thank you.
In terms of the print to tape, I selected the file and went print to tape from
the created QT movie. Only small problem were two very small audio pops
on the tape that don't exist on the QT movie. Could it be a dirty deck head
or is there something I'm not doing?
Either way, thank you both for your help.

Lost ability to select multiple images easily in Organizer

I have always been able to select a range of photos by clicking on the first and then Shift-clicking on the last photo in the range. Everything in MS Windows and almost all Windows apps work this way.
Suddenly, I can no longer even select an image by clicking it in Organizer. The only way to select is to drag a rectangle around the particular photo until it's selected. The only way I can select more than one is to hold down the CTRL key while dragging selection boxes around additional files. The only way I can select a range of photos is to laboriously CTRL-drag-select each one individually.
What in the world happened? I cannot see anything in Preferences that applies to this situation and searching on the keywork, "select" turns up nothing applicable.
Thanks.

Multiple Copies of Same Song:

Hi,
The title may indicate that this is probably a redundant post... I don't think it is. I searched several terms with no success for my question. Here goes:
I'm curious about why I have two folders per artist: one in /Home/Music/ and one in /Home/Music/iTunes/iTunes Music/. Is this supposed to be the case? Also, if I search for a particular song name, like 'Chameleon' by Herbie Hancock, I find that there is one file in iTunes Music under 'Compilations' and two copies in Music, each in the Herbie Hancock folder:
Chameleon.m4a and Chameleon 1.m4a
I would hesitate to believe these are duplicates, as every song in my each of the artist folders in /Home/Music/ has two copies of itself a NAME.m4a and NAME 1.m4a. It also didn't seem like any of the versions were mere aliases - they all said MPEG 4 Audio File under type, not Alias...
Is this normal? I just started up iTunes, which says I have 11.49 GB of music, however the /Home/Music/ folder has 20.36 GB, telling me that it appears I have some duplicates.
Can I delete one or the other of the various artist folders?
Last, seriously last - sorry if this actually has come up and I missed it. I searched 'duplicate folders', 'duplicate artist folders' etc. to try to find a post that answered this and didn't see quite the same issue, mostly people wondering how to manage duplicate songs they imported off different CDs or named the artists just a bit differently so they got two artist folders within their iPods...
Thanks!

Here's the post: http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=6975543&#6975543
It may not address your exact situation, but basically from what I gathered from it, if you have the option mentioned checked in your iTunes preferences, you can be reasonably assured that everything in iTunes was copied from elsewhere and iTunes has maintained it's own version. I guess in your case, you may want to look through iTunes, and if you don't see anything glaringly missing, delete the things in /Music/ because iTunes has copied it's own version into /Music/iTunes/iTunes Music/.
This is at least my take. I probably don't have as much music as you do - it took me about 10 minutes to open two finder windows next to each other and go through the Music folder, check to see if a folder for the same artist/album existed in iTunes Music folder and delete the duplicates. I had about 10GB of music (unique music, that is... the Music folder had about 20GB from the duplicates). Depending on how much you have you may or may not want to do this!
Also, check out Consolidating your library (from iTunes, Advanced > Consolidate Library). I believe this searches your system for music/photos not in iTunes and puts them in if they are not and leaves them alone if they already are. The you can be sure that everything you need is in the iTunes folder and delete all the rest. I'm sure the help file would say more about this option.
Good luck!

Add Folder to library taking a long time and creating multiple copies

I have been a longtime WMP user and am ready to convert to iTunes. I am trying to "add folder to library", which causes a request to convert the files I already have (approx 5,000 songs).
It has been running for more than two days, day and night, working on this. I am not kidding!
I discovered that it has been creating multiple copies of the songs. It looks like it has restarted a few times, perhaps each time it restarts a new copy is made and placed in the iTunes folder.
Should it take this long? What can I do to resolve the speed issue and to eliminate all the duplicate files?
Please help.
Thanks
-medicnick

Theoretically, "Add Folder to Library" goes thru the folder and all its subfolders, and adds each song that it finds that is not already in the library. Optionally, it will make a copy of each song and deposit it in the iTunes Music Folder according to Album and Artist.
Personally, I have never seen it behave any different. But it is often reported on this forum that on large adds (and at 5000 yours is large) it does not behave properly.
Since your iTunes library is new, and does not yet contain those precious play counts, why not just delete it and re-add the songs in small batches. You may wish to deselect the "Copy Files to iTunes Folder When Adding to Library" option in Edit > Preferences > Advanced > General.
