Manually Adding Track Numbers Doesn't Work!

I would like to make a "custom album" for an artist, a greatest hits designed by me, if you will. The songs are all by a single artist, but come from various sources. Some were purchased from iTunes Music Store, some were imported directly from CDs, some were MP3 files from my old PC, etc. (you get the idea).
Anyway, I select all of the tracks, press Command+I to open up the "Get Info" window. For all the tracks at once, I give the album a name ("Best Of Whomever") and manually enter the tracks (1 of 32, 2 of 32, 3 of 32, etc.) I check everything else to make sure there are no inconsistencies between the tracks, as I want all things to be equal. When I'm done, however, there is inevitably a stubborn track (or two or three) that insists on ignoring its assigned track number and placing itself somewhere else in the list. This happens most often with IMS tracks. It's very frustrating and annoying.
The way around it, of course, is to make a playlist. But without folder support for the iPod, playlists quickly become unmanageable.
So my point is, if I manually assign a track a track number, it should go where it belongs and not wherever it chooses to. (And remember, before I assigned track numbers, I gave all of the tracks the same album name and info as a group, so there are no inconsistencies from track to track, like wierd spaces or misspellings.) I've tried everything and can't seem to solve this problem.

My suggestion would be to ask in the iWork for iOS forum. Many more iOS users there.

Try Resetting the System Management Controller (SMC)

Manually added tracks put my iPhone over capacity. Now I can't sync. Help!

I have a number of Audiobook I tried to sync to my phone. I could not find anywhere in the iPhone settings to choose to sync these (anyone know where?). So I manually added them by dragging them from iTunes onto the iPhone.
However they are very large files and put my iPhone "over capacity". Now whenever I try to sync I get an error message saying:
"The iPhone “Mr Shiney” cannot be synced because there is not enough free space to hold all of the selected items (additional 7.38 GB required)."
But I can't unselect these files! They don't appear in the "Manually Added Songs" section of the Music tab. My phone is stuck in this weird state where I can no longer sync.
I have tried deleting the songs from iTunes. But this now just says the songs couldn't be found so I still can't sync.
Should I restore from backup? Won't I lose all my app content? Any ideas what to do?
My iPhone is a 3G on iOS 4.2.1. iTunes is 10.5.

Have you touched the "More" button (on the iPhone).
then gone to Audio Books.
Are they there?
I had an audio book still on my iphone, it survivedf the iOS5 update.
To get rid of it, I plugged iPhone into Mac,
Go to itunes.
Click on Iphone in iTunes.
Go to Books tab,
Scroll down, there is audio books.
Choose sync selected audio books,
And untick the ones I don;t want.
Dows this work for you?

Dynamic adding of components (doesn't work when programmatically)

Hi, I don't understand, why this doesn't work. I'll explain it on this example:
import java.util.concurrent.ScheduledThreadPoolExecutor;
import java.util.concurrent.TimeUnit;
import javafx.application.Application;
import javafx.event.ActionEvent;
import javafx.event.EventHandler;
import javafx.scene.Group;
import javafx.scene.Scene;
import javafx.scene.control.Button;
import javafx.scene.paint.Color;
import javafx.stage.Stage;
public class NewFXMain extends Application {
    Group root;
    public static void main(String[] args) {
        Application.launch(NewFXMain.class, args);
    @Override
    public void start(Stage primaryStage) {
        primaryStage.setTitle("Hello World");
        root = new Group();
        Scene scene = new Scene(root, 300, 250, Color.LIGHTGREEN);
        Button btn = new Button();
        btn.setLayoutX(100);
        btn.setLayoutY(80);
        btn.setText("Add button now");
        btn.setOnAction(new EventHandler<ActionEvent>() {
            public void handle(ActionEvent event) {
                addButton();
        root.getChildren().add(btn);
        primaryStage.setScene(scene);
        primaryStage.setVisible(true);
        System.err.println("Number of buttons before: "+root.getChildren().size());
        ScheduledThreadPoolExecutor executor = new ScheduledThreadPoolExecutor(1);
        executor.schedule(new MyTask(), 5, TimeUnit.SECONDS);
    private void addButton() {
        System.err.println("Button adding");
        root.getChildren().add(new Button("YEAH"));
        System.err.println("Number of buttons after: "+root.getChildren().size());
    class MyTask implements Runnable {
        public void run() {
            addButton();
}There are two ways how a new button can be added. Either by clicking on existing button or programmatically by the program itself after 5 seconds.
If you add it by button, there is no problem. The error print is:
Number of buttons before: 1
Button adding
Number of buttons after: 2
But if you just wait, then the error print is:
Number of buttons before: 1
Button adding
and no button is added. In fact, the error printing after the adding isn't performed either.
I'd like to ask if there is some solution for this because I'd love to do some changes by schedulers. Thx

No, these are not error messages, they are just for purpose of example. Here it doesn't matter whether err or out... (yes, 'out' would be better ;)
But thanx, it's working. By the way, I am creating scheduler for task lists. They are supposed to be printed dynamically in specific time (or periodically). For example: at 5 o'clock I need to print 5 items of some list and every 3 hours I need to print 3 items of another list etc. - so it's quite dynamic with regard to component adding (No, I don't want to use some sort of ListView, I want interactive printing: one item on screen at a moment). I'll try to work your solution into my code.
Edit: So either it's not possible to use this for the purpose of my app or it will be really cumbersome. Maybe it would be easier to draw some rectangles with mouse listeners...
Edit: So I finally got around it. In the end, I won't use dynamic adding as intended. It's working and that's important.

M-Audio Fast Track Pro doesn't work with OS X Mavericks Garageband or MainStage 3

I used to be able to use MainStage 3 and Garageband with my M-Audio FastTrack Pro with no problem. Then, when I upgraded to OS X.9 Mavericks, it doesn't work. Avid (who now supports the FastTrack Pro) recently came out with an updated driver that supposedly upgrades for OS X.9 Mavericks (http://avid.force.com/pkb/articles/en_US/Download/Fast-Track-Pro-Drivers), but even after downloading/installing the driver and updating the device, I still can't get it to work with Garageband or Main Stage 3.
It seems that the software sees the M-Audio FastTrack Pro USB, I even see an audio signal in both MainStage 3 and Garageband for my guitar or microphone input, but there is no output sound from the FastTrack Pro to my PA system other than the analog sound (no sim amps or vocal effects work).
Anybody been able to solve this problem?

I had the same problem (Fast Track Pro + Mavericks 10.9.2 > no output sound).
After trying several combinations, I found out an non logical solution, but it did work
What I did:
1) Download the most recent driver update 1.9.4 (http://avid.force.com/pkb/articles/en_US/Download/Fast-Track-Pro-Drivers)
2) Uninstall Fast Track Pro Drive and restart computer
3) After restar, do NOT install again. Just go to the System Preferences/Sound and set Fast Track as your in/output port
Hope it helps!

Adding track numbers to a custom mix

I created an album in iTunes, a collection of various songs from my library. If my album consists of 20 songs, is there any way to get iTunes to automatically assign track numbers based on the order of the songs? For example, the second song in the list I would like to say "Track 2 of 20." I don't want to have to edit each song's info and manually add the track number. I want iTunes to automatically make the third song in the list track 3, the fourth song track 4, etc.
Is there any way to do this?
Thank you.

You could check Doug's Scripts (just Google and you'll find it) and you might find a script to do this. Otherwise, the only way I know of is to manually input the information.

Two Finger Scrolling using track pad doesn't work.

You know how you can drag 2 fingers down the track pad to sroll down a page. Well, it doesn't work for me using Vista through Boot Camp. I tried the update, but it wouldn't install.
Is this as good as it gets?
Hypnoguy

Hypnoguy,
Sorry I haven't used boot camp for a long time my memory is a little fuzzy. Also note I used it with XP and not Vista, but don't use it at the moment anymore.
Here is a list of Supported Macs for 64-bit windows: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1846
As per your trackpad problems after the drives have been installed I would try to install the update again: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT3336
Here are the boot camp updates and also may help with errors:
64 bit: http://support.apple.com/downloads/BootCamp_Update_2_1_for_Windows_Vista64
32 bit: http://support.apple.com/downloads/BootCamp_Update_2_1_for_Windows_Vista32
Also I would look in the boot camp system tray tool to see if there are settings related to your function keys.
Sorry I don't know of a function key that changes the startup volume, I only know of the select from the boot camp system tray (Windows)/Startup disk preference pane (Mac) or the hold option during startup. More on that here http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?path=Mac/10.5/en/11892.html
A good place to find a lot of Bootcamp support would be here: http://www.apple.com/support/bootcamp/
Hope that helps,

Manually managing my music doesn't work

since i installed the last version of itunes, if i set it to manually manage my music, it doesn't work. i try dragging the files over to the ipod, and itunes says it's updating the ipod. the progress bar goes to the end, but the files never get copied. if i disable it, then files in the library copy over fine.
what gives?
Windows XP Pro

Hello, stashmore94.
Thank you for visiting Apple Support Communities.
Usually the reason for interrupted, stalled or canceled syncing alerts is a result of either security software interference or TCP/IP modifications. Also, non Apple cables and low powered USB hubs can cause this issue. Here are a couple resources that I would recommend going through as they may help resolve the issue.

IWork(Keynote, pages and numbers) doesn't work well about the issue of copy & paste problem

I think so, too. the Keynote 6.5 is not working well on Yosemite (Mac OS X 10.10.1).
In my case, I can't copy & paste from some program(particularly analysis program in my case) to Keynote.
So, when I check coping & pasting the graph or image and so on to Powerpoint and other programs (one of Office is such word and 3rd programs), It works well. However It doesn't work at Keynote, page and numbers.
Also, I tried to do the following process to solve this issue
======
Something is wrong with your installation of Keynote
Try this repair for Keynote, ensure you complete all the tasks and in the order shown:
1 delete all the iWork applications if you have them, not just Keynote by using AppDelete.
2 restart the Mac;   Apple menu > restart
3 immediately after the start chime, press the shift key until you see the Apple symbol.
         let it fully boot up, it will take longer as the OS is repairing the drive
4 when fully booted, go to Applications > Utilities > Disc Utility; click on the boot drive then First Aid tab and      click repair disc permissions
5 when complete, restart the Mac normally
6 install Keynote from the Mac App Store
====
It doesn't work! Anything doesn't change.
In conclusion, I didn't solve this yet!
Plz, solve this problem or fix it!.

This is a double posting, please only post in one discussion at a time.
Keynote 6.5 is stable and reliable under Yosemite for most users.
As with all new operating systems and applications, a small number of users find a few problems.
Copy and pasting text from and into Keynote from all the applications I have, work perfectly: the applications include; Safari, Mail, Word, PowerPoint, excel, Pages, Numbers, iMovie, Photoshop, InDesign, Illustrator.
If you want to place graphics into Keynote, use one of the following methods:
Insert > Coose
click the media button on an image placehoder
click the media button on the tool bar
drag and drop from a Finder window
Copy and pasting images into Keynote is not supported

M-audio fast track pro doesn't work anymore

Today I plugged in my M-Audio Fast Track Pro which worked fine few weeks before, but now it doesn't work anymore. It shows up everywhere fine but I can't play any music. The videos on Youtube can't be played at all when I have selected this soundcard as output. Same every other application like iTunes. I have reinstalled the drivers, rebooted my mac but nothing helped so far. Does anyone know how to solve this problem? Thanks.

All of a sudden my track pad doesn't work properly and mouse pointer is jumping all over my screen

Help, it feels like someone else is controlling my mouse. This just started happening. My trackpad doesn't work or works sporadically. While typing the pointer is scrolling all over my screen. This is really annoying.

Great tip! Your suggestion to check for a swollen battery in my laptop is working for me. You should get credit for solving the problem.
On my MacBook Pro (2008), my cursor was out-of-control for the past couple of days, like it was having a sissy-fit. In TextEdit, for example, I would enter text, but the text would no longer be entered smoothly, in sync with my typing. Nor would the text appear where I wanted it go. Sometimes, the text I was typing, say in the last line of the document, would jump and insert itself somewhere above in the document. Sometimes, entire lines of text, or entire paragraphs, would get highlighted and then immediately deleted upon my hitting the next keystroke. Not an acceptable way to work!
I tested this odd behavior in Leopard and in Snow Leopard and in Lion, which are all partitioned on my laptop's hard drive. Since I could not isolate the problem to any one version of the Mac OS, I began to fear that my motherboard had gotten compromised and went defective on me.
Your tip proved that it was merely a swollen battery that was the cause of my problems. I was able to confirm this by removing the original battery (now 4 years old) and placing it on a hard surface. It rocked like a see-saw, ever so slightly, about 1/8-inch to 1/4-inch at the far sides of the rocking motion. When I looked at that original, swollen battery from the side, I got further indication that your insight was likely correct, for I could spy the area where the swelling was occurring: it was at an edge in the middle of the battery, and it was separating from the base by about 1/16-inch, just enough to make me wonder why the "springiness" had suddenly disappeared from the central portion of my trackpad.
That change in the touch and the lack of aural feedback (i.e. no "click" sound or feeling) when I depressed the trackpad in the central section, was my first clue that something was wrong. The crazy cursor behavior on-screen was further indication that something was amiss.
I type this reply under A/C power, as the replacement battery, which I had purchased from Other World Computing back in September 2011 for just such an eventuality, is now charging. At first, I was worried that the replacement battery was a dud, for it was stuck on 0% for nearly 10-15 minutes before it began to take a charge. But, 30 minutes of paience has paid off: the replacement battery is now at 15% and getting more powerful by the minute.

Track pad doesn't work

I initially had my windows XP up and running. I sent my computer to apple to fix something.
When it came back and I boot windows the trackpad won't work and even if I try to uninstall and reinstall it doesn't work.
Any ideas?

If you are anywhere near an Apple Store, your best bet is to make an appointment with the genius bar. It's free, even if your warranty is expired.
In under a minute the genius will know whether the trackpad is working correctly, and in two minutes the genius will have the settings and anything else straightened out and will be demonstrating how to pinch and twist your pictures into the shape you want.
This is one of those problems that does not lend itself to a forum solution.

After installing: pages in inverted colors | numbers doesn't work

I've installed iWorks 08 on my MacBook Pro 2.8GHz but it doesn't work properly. The colours are wrongly presented. A kind of inverted.
I cannot work with these settings. If you prit it comes out ok.
But while working everything is white, white, white...
Does anyone know this error?
All the best,
Martin

When did you install Pages08? Recently? You have to update iWork08 to latest version. Pages is in version 3.0.3. Use the Software Update check or for Pages this link [http://support.apple.com/kb/DL808]
Which version of Snow Leopard do you have? You state 10.6. The other day version 10.6.4 was released. Download the Combo version from here [http://support.apple.com/kb/DL1048]
