Multiple Sort Criteria and Artwork Issue ?

Hi all,
I was trying to work out how to sort the columns in my iTunes music library by multiple criteria, e.g. by Artist, and then Album (within artist).
Unfortunately, in my experimentation I did something indescribably stupid and ended up losing my artwork. I tried retrieving my artwork (using "Get Album Artwork" - and I had the artwork before), but didn't seem to work for me after that.
So, I have two questions that are essentially unrelated apart from the fact that one led to the other :
(1) How do I sort by multiple criteria in your iTunes library ?
(2) How can I get my album artwork back (seeing as "Get Album Artwork" has decided to stop working for me) ?
thanks,
Andrew

  • Multiple Sort Criteria

    Is there a way to have the above. For example, i want to see albums by an artist, the albums sorted alphebetically, and each album sorted by track number.
    This is especially true for books. I want to see books, organized by chapter and part (where there are multiple tracks per chapter).
    Thanks

  • Excel 2010 multiple Sorting in same sheet issue

    Dear all,
    In the same sheet, the data is split into different groups by inserting rows.
    In Excel 2003:
    We select the rows of the group and choose sorting columns, for example, column "M" & column "J".
    Then, we select another group by rows, the sorting option is kept.
    In Excel 2010:
    We select the rows of the group and choose sorting columns, for example, column "M" & column "J".
    Then, we select another group by rows, the sorting option is empty!
    Further testing on different groups sorting, we found that Excel 2010 only keep the sorting options of the group which is doing the last sorting setting.
    Is there any method to set the Excecl 2010 to work similar to excel 2003 on the Sorting option keeping?
    Ivan

    Hi,
    From your
    description, I tested in my environment by using Excel 2010 with the following steps:
    Create a data source and add two groups by rows (Named Group A and Group B)
    Select Group A to add sort condition for the column "A" & column "B"
    Select Group B to add the sort condition for the column "A" & column "B"
    When I select Group A again, the sorting option was empty. Then, I
    formatted the Group A and Group B as table and repeat the above steps, sorting option was kept.
    Thus, I suppose that we sort with the group similar table in Excel 2003, the sort condition was not be inherited among the different group. There are some changes between Excel 2003 and Excel 2010.
    I think
    formatted the Group as a table is a workaround.
    I'll submit it to Office Dev team and we have definitely heard your frustration, we're thinking about ways to make this scenario work better for our customers. Unfortunately, I can't make promises or give specific details on our future
    plans.
    Thanks,

  • Sleep/wake button and artwork issues .. any advice appreciated

    I recently went through all my songs and put the correct album artwork and such. After I synced everything, the artwork doesn't match up correctly on my Ipod and computer. Say if I choose a song, it will give me the correct song, but a different artist's artwork. It's not every song but a lot of them are incorrect.
    Also, today, my sleep/wake button stopped working. It won't let me put it to sleep or turn it off. I can only make it come up by pressing the home button. At random times it will ask me if i want to turn it off. Actually, I just tried it and the screen started flashing. So, to me, it's like it wants to work, it's just struggling. Any advice would be appreciated. Thanks

    i am not sure how to fix the sleep/wake button
    the same thing is happening with mine
    i believe it is some kind of technical failure
    i restored my itouch hoping that it would work, it didnt
    to put it to sleep i put the autolock on one minute so it staying on would not be a problem
    also when i tried to put it to sleep it didnt
    10 seconds after i pressed it the ipod began taking screen shots
    any advice would be greatly appreciated

  • Just updated to itunes 12.1.0.71 - big problem - can no longer access the legacy "Get Info" where you could change multiple files, easily add artwork, add album name for TV show, and much more. In previous iTunes 12 you'd right click

    Just updated to itunes 12.1.0.71 - big problem - can no longer access the legacy "Get Info" where you could change multiple files, easily add artwork, add album name for TV show, and much more. In previous iTunes 12 you'd right click and hold shift key and be able to get to it. Anyone figured this out?

    The "legacy" metadata editors, for which there was a "back door" in iTunes 12.0, have gone from 12.1.  However, the revised editors in 12.1 provide access to (almost) all the metadata elements that were available in iTunes 11, albeit in a different layout and with some additional constraints based on media kind.  Some users have / will have an issue with the statement that "Get Info has been completely redesigned in iTunes 12 to focus your attention only on what’s necessary for the selected item" since that removes some metadata elements that people may have been using in creative ways.  iTunes 12.1 basically gives you access to the fields that Apple think are necessary ... .  Some of the things that have been excluded by this rule:
    track and disc number fields for video media kinds
    show and episode fields for music
    description tab for audiobooks made up of more than one file
    Obviously the first two examples can be regarded as "overloading" the metadata elements - i.e., using them in ways that the designers didn't intend - but given that some users do find valid cases for this it's a shame that they've been deprecated in the new UI.  There are couple of workarounds:
    in songs view (or any of the other columnar views), you can still select any fields to display, independent of media kind, and these can be edited (though only one at a time) by double-clicking in the relevant "cell"
    you can (temporarily) change the media kind of an item (or group of items) to get access to metadata elements that would otherwise be inaccessible.
    It may be worth submitting an issue via https://www.apple.com/feedback/itunesapp.html - I can't see it as a huge development task to have a user preference to switch between "show all fields" and "filter fields based on media kind".
    One other oddity/irritation is that some of the tabs don't, by default, show all the available fields - you need to scroll up/down to access them or to expand the window by dragging on one of its corners.  Fortunately, the latter seems to be persistent - once you've done this to make all the fields visible the editor will open at the same (larger) size when opened again.

  • Read multiple text files and sort them

  • Recent issue on multiple PCs: Preview and Export flicker/banding/moire effect

    Recently we discovered one of our PC's flickering and banding in the preview window during playback and on exports.  Shortly thereafter, the same issue appeared on another workstation.  What we are seeing is a variation of issues that include but are not limited to the following within the preview window and more importantly in our renders:
    Flicker - Video changes in brightness
    Moire effect - Can see a cross-hatch pattern during playback
    Banding - You can clearly make out horizontal or vertical lines, or sometimes both.
    Seeing layers beneath 100% opacity layers.  When two layers are stacked with footage, you can see the footage below as if the top layer is at 97% despite the actuality of it being at 100%.
    These issues exist on multiple machines with differing specs, in all projects.  This is neither a project or machine-based issue.  All effects removed from clips within the timeline; source footage looks great in standalone player.  These issues occur with a new project with a blank color matte.  
    Just spent 3+ hours in live chat with an Adobe Rep who remotely team-viewed to see the same issues testing project base solutions to no avail.  Everything was tested from render containers/codecs, local vs server, project managing, cache clearing, etc.  These same projects did not exhibit these issues a week ago.
    All of these situations lead me to believe that this is a Premiere issue, something changed with how Premiere is handling our files and this is a huge issue.  We are unable to deliver finals to clients due to this problem.
    Ticket # 0185909669

    Ran some tests. Wiped everything with Creative Cloud Cleaner Tool.  Reinstalled the previous iteration of CC (not 2014), version 7.0.0 base.  The issue exists here as well.  Updated it to 7.2.2, same thing.  Wiped everything again with the cleaner tool, installed CC 2014 Base, 8.0.0 and had the same issue, updated to current version no difference.  These issues did not always exist, this is of recent coming.
    We are running multiple Windows 7 and 8 machines at 64-bit.  Their hardware varies per computer and all produce the same results. 
    We are having to make all renders from ONE mac that does not exhibit the symptoms described in the first post.  This is HUGELY restricting to our business and we are having to wait on queues of renders to deliver due to this.
    Exact same issue in post here: Re: Weird Horizontal Interference in Exported Video   (check out the YouTube link)

  • Defining sort criteria using vb6 and CR XI

  • When will apple sort out the scrolling issues on iOS versions of iTunes and the App Store?

    When will apple sort out the scrolling issues on iOS versions of iTunes and the App Store?
    It seems impossible to get the horizontal scrolling to work smoothly and in a way that doesn't result in some albums/apps in the row being skipped.

    Working fine for me. Have tried resetting or restoring?

  • Join multiple fact tables and dimensions and use all tables in report issue

    Hi,
    I have a report requirements and need to use multiple fact tables and unconformed dimensions as described below
    Fact table: F1,F2,F3
    Dimensions tables: D1.....D9
    F1:(joined to) D1,D2,D3,D4
    F2::(joined to)D1,D2,D5,D6
    F3::(joined to)D1,D2,D7,D8
    D7::(joined to)D9,D8 (dimension D7 joined to two other dimensions D9 and D8
    I'm trying to use columns from almost all the fact and dimension tables but getting "Unable to navigate requested expression. Please fix the metadata consistency warnings."
    Repository is consistent and no errors and warnings.
    How can I configure the repository to develop reports using all fact tables and dimensions?
    Appreciate for your help.
    Thanks

    So you want me to convert snowflake schema to star. does it solve my problem? individual star queries are working find but when I query multiple stars together getting inconsistency errors. I removed content tables dim level totals for unconformed dimensions in logical fact LTS and set level for measures at total level for unconformed dimensions. it is still in progress and need to test.

  • Pavilion dv5 - 1217AX with Windows 8 - multiple booting and crashing issues

    I have a Pavilion dv5 - 1217AX with Windows 8 operating system. It was upgraded from Vista to windows 8 last year and it worked really very well for about 1 year. Here are the issues I am facing these days
    1. When powered on - Caps lock and Num lock LEDs keep flashing twice and the sequence keeps repeating - I checked the error code on some forums and it sounded like BIOS issue so I flashed the BIOS F38 again (SP46501) but it didn't help. I also thought it could be a memory issue so I removed the memory module and cleaned the slots and fixed the modules again but no luck. I also tried running the laptop using only one module, tried both the modules one by but no changes in error code. Then I thought it could be a toy bettery issue so replaced the toy batter that fits on the motherboard but no luck. I have also tried booting up removing the laptop battery pack but no luck.
    So how does it boot now? - Once powered on I keep getting Caps lock Num lock LED flashing issues every time. Then I power off using power on/off button on laptop around 15 times or more then the laptop somehow boots up. There is no fixed pattern, sometimes it boots after 15 attempts, sometimes 50 attempts.
    Whats happenes after booting? - Sometimes the screen goes completely blank without any error message on the screen. Sometimes Windows 8 crashes and laptop restarts, when it restarts I never see LED flashing issues (surprising). It crashes when I am watching some videos or playing some games, so looks like ATI Radeon driver issue (driver is 8.970.100.7000 for HD 3400 display card).
    Let me know if there are any suggestion to fix the botting and crashing issues faced.

    Hi Expertit ,
    At first sight ,seems to be a boot issiu.Did you thry this?
    Booting into the Windows 8 setup, select “Repair your computer” in the bottom part of the window, then “Troubleshoot” and “Advanced options”. Here I was given a good reminder of another cool Windows 8 feature. If you have a restore point created you can go back to that working copy of the OS without losing your data.
    So the first thing you will want to try is the Automatic Repair.
    If that fixes your boot problem, you had it easy and go on to create a restore point for another time you are out of luck. If Windows is unable to fix your issue, read on.
    Go back to the Advanced options and choose the Command Prompt. Going for the next easiest way to fix the problem, enter the following four commands into the prompt:
    bootrec /fixmbr
    bootrec /fixboot
    bootrec /scanos
    bootrec /rebuildbcd
    After receiving a success confirmation. Close the CMD window and restart your PC.
    If you are booted into Windows, excellent! If not, let us know , so we can try some more solutions.
    2.If your video crashes , it is probably wrong Catalyst settings.Right click on screen , open Catalyst control settings , set it to high (Radeon) performance.
    Expecting your next post.

  • ADF FACES: how to preserve the sort criteria for an af:table

    How can I preserve the sort criteria on an af:table across page invocations? I've searched all through the forum and I don't see anything on this topic.
    I simply want the sort criteria (from when the user clicks on a column header) to be remembered across multiple uses of the page. I know that the control handles this itself for multiple invocations of the same page (like when you page through the table). But I need to preserve the sort order so I can install it again when someone leaves the page and then returns to it.
    I've tried various attempts using a SortListener to record the sort criteria, but I can't figure out how to reinstall the criteria without generating exceptions from the table control.
    Any pointers on how to do this would be greatly appreciated.
    Thanks.
    Larry.

    Ok, I've solved the problems with the odd behavior by always creating a new model when the table data changes and copying the sort criteria into the new model, like this:
            // Construct our own CollectionModel from this result set
            if(_model == null) {
                // Construct the initial data model and set the starting sort criteria
                ListDataModel m = new ListDataModel(results);
                _model = new SortableModel(m);
                // Set the sort criteria to last name
                ArrayList criteria = new ArrayList();
                criteria.add(new SortCriterion("lastName", true));
                _model.setSortCriteria(criteria);
            } else {
                // Construct a new model so the table "sees" the change
                ListDataModel m = new ListDataModel(results);
                SortableModel sm = new SortableModel(m);
                sm.setSortCriteria(_model.getSortCriteria());
                _model = sm;
            }But, I end up with one final thing that doesn't work. In the "then" clause above, I try to set the initial sort criteria for the table - it has no effect. When the table is rendered, it is not sorted in any way.
    How can I specify an initial sort order for the table? Why is it ignoring the sort criteria on the model?
    Thanks.

  • Complete Sorting Criteria Hierarchy for songs/episodes/groups with Classic

    Ok, I have an idea that I think would help a lot of people. Let us begin a thread that tries to explain, in detail, the sorting filters, in order of priority, that the iPod Classic uses to sort its lists of albums, songs, tv episodes, etc., once you have a list in front of you on the screen. This goes for Cover Flow mode, regular listing, etc.
    Here is what I propose. For example, let's start with songs. In iTunes, when you choose to edit the info on a particular song, you can choose which fields to populate. You may or may not enter the year, the track number, the composer, etc. On your iPod, then, if you click on an Album, the songs you see within that album will be listed by +track number, as they were assigned in iTunes+. Track number takes highest precedence in the hierarchy when it comes to sorting songs within an album.
    - But, if you go Main Menu->Music->Albums, how are all the albums sorted? Alphabetically by album title? Alphabetically by artist? Is there a way to sort them by year? Would you like the freedom to choose, if Apple provided it?
    - How are the compilations sorted into the mix?
    - How does applying an "album artist" affect the sorting, as opposed to just applying an "artist?"
    - How do songs that are "grouped" together with the same "Grouping" field affect sort lists on the iPod?
    - In Cover Flow mode, now with firmware upgrade 1.0.2, what is the sort criteria for albums in Cover Flow? Alphabetically by album title? Alphabetically by artist of the first track on the compilation? Alphabetically by "album artist?" What if no "album artist" has been attributed to a "compilation?"
    - What about TV Episodes? Within a particular season, what is the primary determining factor for sorting episodes? Is it alphabetically by title? By release date? Or by episode #? Or by something else?
    To some, this may seem tedious or trivial. But there seem to be so many issues flying around right now, and many of them center squarely upon the inability to sync and sort properly. Many people are digitizing a cd library for the first time with the release of the 160 GB iPod Classic, and when you're trying to organize HUNDREDS of songs, albums, compilations, and tv episodes, understanding exactly how the iPod sorts all your precious data is crucial. Knowledge is power, and we want to know.
    ANY help you can contribute to any aspect of iPod sorting, no matter how obvious or how technical, would be appreciated by all.

    To some, this may seem tedious or trivial. But there seem to be so many issues flying around right now, and many of them center squarely upon the inability to sync and sort properly. Many people are digitizing a cd library for the first time with the release of the 160 GB iPod Classic, and when you're trying to organize HUNDREDS of songs, albums, compilations, and tv episodes, understanding exactly how the iPod sorts all your precious data is crucial. Knowledge is power, and we want to know.
    ANY help you can contribute to any aspect of iPod sorting, no matter how obvious or how technical, would be appreciated by all.

  • Photo sorting criteria 9.2.1

    I think we have all noticed the change in the photo sorting criteria with the new 9.2.1 version of iTunes.
    Before, sorting was alphabetical. Now, it is by "date last changed" of photo.
    If you do not have iPhoto, there appears to be no way to change the settings/ criteria for the sequencing of the photos (and hence, slideshow). This is infuriating for clients who are not set up in the "new criteria" format (the photo option on iPod is now practically redundant!).
    i.e. it seems that Apple have changed the sort criteria without giving clients any option (other than to buy their software...).
    Or am I missing something?

    I've had this very same issue and it's making me very upset. I'm looking for an answer to this!

  • How to alphabetically sort albums and folders within a folder

    Much to my dismay, I discovered that iPhoto will not alphabetically sort folders or albums that are within a folder. It will only sort folders and albums (in separate groups) that are at the "root" level beneath the ALBUMS label. I used "iPhoto Folder Import 1.0" to import multiple clip art and stock photo files which resulted in many nested folders and albums that did not stay in alphabetical order (because iPhoto often randomize them when you add them to an existing folder).
    Here's how to get around the problem.
    Albums: 1. Select all the albums in a folder. 2. Drag the albums to the ALBUMS label so they end up on the root level. 3. Right click on any of the selected albums and choose "Sort Albums." 4. Drag the still selected albums back into their original folder. They should retain their alphabetical order.
    Folders: 1. Close all the folders that you want to alphabetize. 2. Follow steps 1-4 above with "folders" in place "albums."
    I cannot understand why sorting won't work within folders. I also do not understand why we don't have the option to alphabetically interleave folders and albums. The only way to achieve this is to create folders for just one album, which seems silly.

    How do you suggest i resolve the issue of different data types in order to use this function? I have tried a few different ways and have whenever I adjust, it wont run through my sub VI's correctly due to being different data types.
    You have to READ THE FILES.  Jeff just showed you how to use a FOR loop to go through the files.  You still need to open the files, read them and then process the data.
    I had assumed from CSmith8's original post that the text file processing vi worked.  just drop that vi into the for loop and wire the file name in!
    Alternately, attach the code that processes the file and a sample file.  I bet we can show you a thing or two about how to do it cleaner and faster  then point you to the right learning resources so one day you can show us some new tricks.
