Modifying tags in the library
It's been a while, recently upgraded to 6 and have been trying to recal how to edit / modify a tag in the library. Something as simple as adding the closer to the br so that when I use it, instead of <br> I get <br />.
Any help would be appreciated.

For that you need to select a XHTML doctype for the webpage.

Updating ID3 Tags in the library
I have more than 4000 mp3s in my library, many are missing mp3 tags (downloaded mostly from limewire).
I spent days and updated all the tag information in the original folder (external hard drive) using a tag editor (tagscanner) but I don't know how to update (or synchornize) my itunes library to recognize these new tags. My itunes library still shows the old tags (some without any tags and some with wrong genres...etc).
Is there a way I can get itunes to recognize the new tag changes although the file name is still the same?
I am using ITunes 6 (version 6.0.5.20) and Ipod 60GB with video.
Thanks.
HP Pavilion dv 1000 Windows XP 1 GB Ram, 100 GB Disk, 3.6 GhzI'm not sure if there is a proper way to "refresh" the database, but you can remove them from the iTunes library then add them back. Of course, you'll lose your ratings, play count, and may have to re-do some playlists.

If I share an iPhoto library between multiple users, will the Faces, Events, and Places be automatically usable by all users, or will each user have to tag all the photos (e.g. if a user tags a face, will a different user have to do it in their own iPhoto application??
Have you read this Apple document regarding sharing a library with multiple users: iPhoto: Sharing libraries among multiple users?

iPhoto won't open due to the not being updated but when I check to upgrade to iPhoto 11 it tells me it is installed. The photos in the library were modified using 9.1.5 and the iPhoto is said to be 7.1.5 (iPhoto 8). Any ideas?
How do you know the library was modified with iPhoto 9 (11)? If you've never had iPhoto 9 on your Mac it could'nt have. It sounds like a damaged library. Make a temporary, backup copy (if you don't already have a backup copy) of the library and apply the two fixes below in order as needed:
Fix #1
Launch iPhoto with the Command+Option keys held down and rebuild the library.
Select the options identified in the screenshot.
Fix #2
Using iPhoto Library Manager to Rebuild Your iPhoto Library
Download iPhoto Library Manager and launch.
Click on the Add Library button, navigate to your Home/Pictures folder and select your iPhoto Library folder.
Now that the library is listed in the left hand pane of iPLM, click on your library and go to the File ➙ Rebuild Library menu option
In the next window name the new library and select the location you want it to be placed.
Click on the Create button.
Note: This creates a new library based on the LIbraryData.xml file in the library and will recover Events, Albums, keywords, titles and comments but not books, calendars or slideshows. The original library will be left untouched for further attempts at fixing the problem or in case the rebuilt library is not satisfactory.

When all of my ebooks, pdf's etc were located in itunes I could see down in the status bar that I had 453 books and the size of the library was 5 GBs. Now in the Ibook app I can no longer see or view this information. Also in Itunes you could modify the Author, Catagory, Title etc. in Ibooks you can't, You also can't use "show in finder" to see the actual file and library. If any of you know how to do these things please explain it to me?
From the "View" menu:
View > Show Status bar
This will show the Status bar at the bottom of the window, assuming you are now using iTune 11. -
Could not find agent library on the library path or in the local directory
Hi all,
I'm trying to write a jvmti agent that write any information in a mysql db. I've written a simple agent that work correctly and now I'll try to insert the mysqlpp library in my agent:
1) I've added #include <mysql++.h>
2) and I've added mysqlpp::Connection conn(false); (global variable)

endifDid you make sure your library (call it x) starts is named libx.so (atleast, on linux, possibly libx.dll on windows, not sure)? It will not load otherwise, and you must specify -agentlib:x (rather than saying libx.so). Yes, it is "funny" how it gives the same uninformative error message for a wide variety of errors. It will also give you this same error message if there are still unresolved symbols upon loading your library (which would be my second guess).

How do I tell DW (CS3) to stop modifying my links in library snippets?
Hi Folks,
Is there a way to tell DW CS3 not to modify the snippet of
code that I've added to the library for my footer?
Specifically, I want it to leave my anchor-tag link paths
alone.
- GRConsider this -
A library item is located in the Library folder. It contains
a link to your
HOME page. That link MUST look like either this -
<a href="/index.html"
or this -
<a href="../index.html"
There are no other choices. If you MANUALLY make the link in
the Library
item look like this -
<a href="index.html", as you seem to be stating, then DW
cannot manage that
link without adding the Library folder to the path, since the
link implies,
nay guarantees, that the page linked to is IN THE LIBRARY
folder.
Stop trying to control this. Let DW do it. It works just
fine.
Why on EARTH would you not want DW to manage your links?

Working on the library in excel
Hi
I want to open the library in excel (well actually open office Calc). I want to have the "trackname for sorting" colum beeing automatically generated like this "trackname for sorting"="Trackname"+"albumtitle"
I then want to use the modified data in ITunes (and Ipod)You can export your libraray on a text file that can be loaded into a spreadsheet, but the sort fields are not exported.
I think what you want to do requires a script, actually I am not even sure, off the top of my head, if the sort fields are available in the COM interface.
You can download the iTunes COM Sdk from here:
http://developer.apple.com/sdk/itunescomsdk.html
It has all the documentation and some samples, also may find Robert Jacobson's site useful:
http://home.comcast.net/~teridon73/itunesscripts/
This approach is realy only feasible in Windows for people with some programming experience.
If you didn't want to use the sort field, a tag editor would be simpler.
A quick check in the SDK suggests the sort fields are accessible.

Iphoto 2.0.1 fails to organise the library right
Any photos imported from another computer (in this case a PC) are organised in the iphoto library by the data MODIFIED rather than the date taken, even though in iphoto, looking at the properties of each photo, it has the correct date under the images original date.
after getting really annoyed by this, i just cant help wondering why i cant just organise my photos inthe library the way i want to, as i can with itunes?^ Eh? What has this got to do with anything? Am I not explaining this right? Of course in the Finder, within a folder, files/tracks are arranged alphabetically. And yeah, there's no alternative. It would be nice if Apple allowed you to list files in the finder by other attributes (timestamps, ID3 tag data, etc) as in other operating systems, but that's another story.
What I said was you could organise the hierarchy of folders anyway you like, and even keep all your music files out of the library altogether and somewhere else. So instead of the default option in itunes, where it puts tracks inside a folder with the album name, and that folder inside a folder with the artist's name, you can organise them into folders by genre, style, BPMs, whatever you like.
"iTunes allows more viewing options because music files have more "meta-data" than photo files, but the different viewing options don't change the file organization in the folders that contain the original files."
For the third time, I'm not concerned about the viewing options within the application. I'm interested in the way iphoto organises the HIERARCHY of folders within its library.
It SHOULD be organising them by the date and time they were taken, but instead, for a large number of photos which were copied of another computer, it organises them by the date modified, which is the date they were copied over. So I have huge folder within the library on the 8th of october, within the 2005 folder, containing many months of photos. -
Adding HTML into the library in 'Code' view
Adding an object into the Library from ‘Design’ view works as advertized… however I’m looking to add HTML into the Library that is not ‘seen’ in ‘Design’ view… for example… some of the META tag data in the Header section.
In my reading… I have come across references that this can be accomplished…but I’m being frustrated by the fact that while in ‘Code’ view the MODIFY/LIBRARY/ADD OBJECT TO LIBRARY…. The “Add object to library” is grayed out.
I’m about down to thoughts like “you can’t get there from here”… or … “you ain’t smart enough to figure out how to do it”.
Is this ‘doable’?... and if so… what are the proper sequence of steps.
Many thanks for any and all inputs..Btw Nancy… just as a heads-up, to save the next guy a bit of frustrations…

How do I update the library if I've made changes to the tags outside of iTunes. I don't want to delete the entire library and re-add the music folders.
Does iTunes have a way of doing this automatically, i.e. can it monitor my music folder the way Window Media Player does?
Thanks ~I have the same question, and I think I can articulate it better:
If song metadata is modified outside of iTunes, the suggestion was to select the song and iTunes will re-read the ID3 tags and update the info in the library.
The question is: how can this be accomplished for all tracks without having to click on each one individually? Shift-selecting all the tracks does not re-read the ID3 tracks for every selected track. -
Itunes Has lost connection with the library
Hello,
a few days ago I opened iTunes and all of my library was gone. I forgot what the exact message was, but something had become damaged. I still have all my files, but iTunes cant "see" where they are. What do I need to do to restore iTunes so it can find all of my music and podcasts?
Thanks!*Adding new items/removing orphans*
Try iTunes Folder Watch or iTunes Library Updater. Folder Watch is much faster on the adding files front, can be set to run in the background and includes a useful exclusion feature, however it’s slow at removing orphans. iTLU is better for this although doing it manually after looking at a list of proposed removals generated by Folder Watch is probably faster still. iTLU can also be set to update iTunes when you've used 3rd party tools to change tag info.
You may need to amend the list of file types these programs look for. My list includes:
.mp3 .mp4 .m4a .m4b .m4p .m4v .mov .wav .aif .mid .ipa .ipg .ite .itlp .m4r .pdf
Note the last 6 types may not be recognised as already being in the library so should either be omitted from the search or you can add (at least for Folder Watch) individual exclusions for files you know are already in your library.

FAQ: My files are missing from the Library, or How to reconnect your images?
What is the Lightroom Library?
The Library module of Lightroom can be used to arrange, codify, systemize, group, and classify your media. When you import your images and video into the Library, you are adding information about your files to a catalog. Your files remain on your hard drive where they were, unless you are importing them from a camera, in which case the files are copied to your hard drive to a location of your choosing.
What is a Lightroom catalog?
The catalog is a database that stores information about the files you've imported into Lightroom. When importing a file, the first thing Lightroom does is collect the file's name and location on the hard drive. If the file has any attached compatible metadata, such as keyword tags, these are imported as well. You can use multiple catalogs and your catalogs can be carried forward from version to version.
Why does Lightroom say my files are missing?
Since the catalog database only stores information about your file, and not the file itself, if any of that information is changed outside of Lightroom, the connection to the file is lost. There are three ways this can happen: the file name is changed, the file location is changed, or the file has been deleted. If you need to rename, move, or delete a file, you can do so within the Library module, and then the connection is not lost.
What is Reconnecting?
When a file has been renamed, moved, or deleted, the catalog database needs to be updated with that new information. The Reconnection process allows you to point out a file's new name, it's new location, or to delete the database entry on your file if the file no longer exists on your hard drive.

Locate missing photos
Dude! Where are my photos?Similar happened to me when i moved my iTunes library from XP to Win 8.1. Apps were in iTunes but would not sync to iPhone - could not find oritinal file. Win Xp and 8.1 have different file paths for My Documents and My Music. Locate the folder within iTunes called Mobile Applications. It should have a file with an IPA extension for each application. Add that folder to library. That will refresh the iTunes database so that it knows where to find the apps. I had to do that to my entire library (music, podcasts, etc)

I am using the latest Firefox (28.0) on Windows XP in a shared computer environment. Although I do not have Administrator access, I installed Firefox myself and can change whatever Firefox config settings I want (including about:config and mucking with the files in the installation directory).
I want to disable the tab that appears on Firefox startup, "Another program on your computer would like to modify Firefox with the following add-on". This tab usually appears once per day (the first time I startup Firefox each day). I want the tab not to appear at all, from now on.
The "another program" in question is some program that is used in the facility where I'm using the computer, so I can't just uninstall that program. Although this is a shared computer environment, they don't "wipe" the machine every day, just reboot. So the Firefox I installed is still there with all my config settings intact. As far as I know, I'm the only person who uses Firefox on this computer.
Solutions that don't work:
"Just click Continue" -- but then I still see the "Another program" tab every day, and don't want to see it.
"Click Remove in the Add-ons list" -- I removed the Add-on in question but the tab still appears every day.
I would like a solution that either eliminates the Add-on request for that particular application, or eliminates all such requests ("Another program...") regardless of what application requested it. The ideal solution would be if the request itself had a checkbox for "never ask this again" but, alas, no such luck.Gosh... I spent about an hour preparing a response, then accidentally did control-something or alt-something which took me back a page and I lost everything I typed (even after I clicked Forward to try to get back to where I was). If anyone knows of a config setting like "don't ever trash an entire page of user input unless the user explicitly confirms it", or, "keep form input data even if the user goes Back or Forward", I think that would be a great feature.
OK, back to the original question...
I appreciate the responses thus far, but I think there have been some misunderstandings. Maybe a multiple-choice version would help:
Question: Is there a way to suppress the appearance of the notification tab that says, "Another program on your computer would like to modify Firefox with the following add-on" (meaning, any request from another program to install an add-on is to be silently ignored and discarded)?
Answer:
(A) Yes, you can suppress that notification (please state how).
(B) No, but you can request that feature (please state where).
(C) No, you can't do that or request that feature.
That's basically my question in a nutshell. If the answer is (B), I might envision a boolean about:config setting like "extensions.allowProgrammaticAddonRequests" that defaults to "true" and can be set to "false" manually. I think that would be the most direct solution (if it were possible).
I will respond to some comments from above:
"I don't understand why you are using a mozilla.cfg file to lock those preferences when you can modify the preferences for your current Firefox profile via about:config" -- This is because the "other program" in question (iCafe Manager) was setting certain config options (browser.startup.homepage, and browser.newtab.url) on every reboot (which happens every morning at that facility). I got tired of manually changing the settings back every day. Using the above-mentioned files, I successfully defeated iCafe Manager's daily interference with those config settings. The other things (like stuff related to Socks tunnelling) I probably could have just set once in about:config but doing a lockPref seemed to do no harm. The settings for "enabledScopes" and "xpinstall" were to see if they'd help with the problem I originally asked about, but they did not.
"I would look in about:config to make sure those preference modifications are in effect" -- yes, I confirmed that the settings are in effect and locked. That much works as expected.
"A) removing the iCafe Toolbar extension from the Firefox Addons -> Extensions panel results in the "Another program" tab at startup" -- true, but I think it would be more accurate to say: while the toolbar extension is not installed (due to either having been removed, or, never having been installed at all), the "Another program" tab appears on at least the first startup of Firefox after every reboot.
"B) when you allow the installation it shows up as "(disabled)" in the Extensions list but the unwanted toolbar still shows up (correct?)" -- yes, correct.
"You could explain the problem to the system administrator of your facility" -- unfortunately, there's no administrator on site, only a person who makes sure the lights are on. They'll call a tech if there's a catastrophic problem (like the net connection goes dead). Since I installed Firefox myself, and since iCafe Manager is a program they installed, I don't think they'll go out of their way to help me with Firefox (especially if I'm trying to defeat iCafe Manager's attempts to interfere with Firefox). From their point of view, their systems are working just fine.
"allow the installation and then see if you can go to the Firefox Customize menu and HIDE the toolbar as a workaround" -- since I'm not in that facility now (and probably won't be again until this summer or so), I can't experiment with those systems now. But I do recall clicking just about everything I could, including "View - Toolbars" (which seems to be the same menu as when I right-click on a toolbar line). That menu allows hiding toolbars, but from my recollection, the offending toolbar was not displayed in the list, so I could not hide it that way. Also, the Customize menu ("View - Toolbars - Customize") seems to allow only modifications to a toolbar, and not a way to hide an entire toolbar.
"it might help if you could post a new troubleshooting information list after you allow the iCafe Toolbar installation" -- ok, that troubleshooting report is included below.
Thanks again for your help.

The pictures are there, but can't find the library
My primary HD for photos is external, and an iphoto library is there. Took my laptop out of town and loaded photos on it. It created a new library. I cannot figure out, however, where this puppy is stored. It is not in the usr/pictures folder, and neither Finder nor Spotlight turn up albumdata.xml, or library6 etc files. There is no iphoto folder, or original folder found by either spotlight or finder.
iphoto loads fine and all the new photos are there, imovie finds the photos, iweb finds the photos. I, however, can't find the 1.3 Gig of photos so that I can merge the libraries.
I have tried the apple-option start up and rebuilt the library. I have repaired the permissions on the HD. I loaded a number of new photos this morning, and then searched on Finder to see where the file was modified. No luck and I am out of ideas.
Yes I have exported to a temporary folder on the external drive, but I don't want to lose 1.3 gigs of HD space having duplicate pictures. If I re-direct the library to the external drive, without knowing where the new library is, I won't be able to delete the duplicate library. I don't know how to turn on a view for hidden folders, if that is the issue. There is only one user account on this computer, so that is not an issue.
Any thoughts out there? Thanks.

Select a photo in the iPhoto window and right click (or control-click) and select show file.
A Finder window will open with the file selected. If you switch to Column view you'll be able to see where the file is located easily.
