Music ordering within F# folders in ipod_control?

May seem like a really stupid question actually, but I was wondering if anyone knew 'for sure' how new songs were added to the iPod's ipod_control/music folder.
my hunch is that the new songs are added to the highest numbered 'F' folder but that said I'm not 100% sure.
Will really help speed up my regular backups if I only have to do 1 folder instead of all 49 of them :P
Thanks in advance,
H.Rolston

Those weird folder and file names are the actual songs on your iPod.
They are not on the iPod twice. They will be on your computer once and on the iPod once.
(They appear with the weird names to make it difficult to copy - or "pirate" - music from your iPod to someone else's computer.)
iTunes is able to decode them and shows the actual artist name, song name, etc.

  • How to - correct episode order within the Remote App

    Recently I found that when i was using the Remote App to control my iTunes Library, all my TV Show episodes where in alphabetical order instead of episode number order.
    after searching on how to solve this and speaking with Apple Support (who couldn't figure out why this was happening) i couldn't find the answer and noticed that many people were having this same issue and were in the same boat as me.
    i managed to solve the issue and wanted to share. sorry if i have posted this in the wrong area, first time giving advise on here.
    ill run through this using The Walking Dead - Season 1 as an example, but this can obviously be done with any TV Show.
    Even with the correct episode numbers, iTunes displays the episode in the correct order -
    but in alphabetical order within your library on the remote app -
    in iTunes - highlight all episodes and get info
         2. under the Options Tab, change the Media Kind to Music Video and click OK at the bottom
         3. Then head over to where you Music Videos are stored
         4. select each of the episodes, get info
         5. under the Details Tab, you will now have more options to select
         6. scroll to the bottom of the Details Tab, and within the Album Artist section, type in "The Walking Dead"
         7. in the Disc Number section, you want to add which season of how many seasons there are. example - I have 4 seasons of The Walking Dead within my library, and as this is season 1, i will enter 1 of 4
         8. next, in the Track section, you want to add which episode of how may episodes in that season. example - this is episode 1 of 6 in the season
         9. next go into the Options Tab, and change the Media Kind back to TV Show
         10. click OK at the bottom
         11. once you have done this for each episode, head back into your TV Shows
         12. when you now get info for each of the episodes, the Album Artist, Disc Number and Track sections should be at the bottom of the Details Tab (if they were not there before)
         13. if this has been done correctly - all episodes should be correctly listed within the remote app by episode order
    Hopefully this has helped somebody out there!

    Gotcha - came up with a workaround... since the photos were living in the Photo Library packaged itself, and not simply in another regular folder, I right clicked on the library and said show packaged content, then search for what folders the files lived in, then copied the files out of the packaged library into a folder. Then I was able to give the Photos Library access to the new folder with the files.
    With all my files now references, I enabled iCloud Photo Library and am uploading now.
    Hopefully my new local Photo Library will be smart enough to optimize local images and shrink to give me more space.
    Thanks.

  • ITunes created a second "Music" folder within root folder

    I've had pretty fair luck for years with iTunes, and then today hit several snags. I had some settings go South on me after some resets from iPhone issues.
    Today I noticed that when I added a new song file to the library, it was copying the file into the designated Media Folder (I use the "Music" folder) but leaving an original in its original folder. Copying instead of moving the file. Previously when I did this, the files would be moved into the Music folder and be organized into artist sub-folders, and there wouldn't be another copy left behind in the original folder.
    So I tried to "Organize Library" and it went through the entire library, created a new "Music" folder into which it put some (not all) songs and files into new subfolders.
    Now I have a "Music" folder with lots of empty folders (but not all, so I can't just delete them all without openoing each one first) and another "Music" folder within that folkder with a bunch of new sub-folders.
    Additionally, my poriginal issue is still present, it is copying, not moving files when I add them to the library.
    Any thoughts?

    I found and answered your post in the other thread regarding the extra layer of folders but it looks like you've moved on already.
    Perhaps my script ConsolidateByMoving will do what you're after with regard to moving files in this thread.

  • Unlock multiple folders within other folders

    I have several folders within other folders that when I transferred them from my PC to Mac, became locked for some reason. These are folders that contain music files. (mp3,.wma, etc) My question is rather than going into each folder and unlocking the sub folder, is there a way to unlock all folders and their subfolders. ex. Folder named "Metallica" has folders within named "...and Justice For All" and "Reload" The Metallica folder is unlocked but the folders with in are not. Can anyone help? Thanks

    Welcome to Discussions, dozer5000!
    Open /Applications/Utilities/Terminal, and copy the blue text in. DO NOT PRESS RETURN YET!
    chflags -R nouchg
    after the "g" in "nouchg", type a space. Then go to the folder you want to unlock in Finder ("Metallica", I think you said), and drag it into Terminal. Now press return.
    That should fix it.
    Good luck!

  • Can we share music/apps within a family while using different iTunes accounts?

    Can we share music/apps within a family while using different iTunes accounts?
    Recently purchased iPhone 5 for my wife and I + my daugther has an iPod.  I'd like for us all to have separate iTunes accounts so we can each use iCloud without getting each other's notifications, but would like to have one central repository for mucsic and apps.  I'm afraid if I set up iTunes accoutn for the tow of them, I'll have to re-purchase the music and apps (way too many!)

    It can be done, but you will have to sign in to your account on her itunes to updated the apps. Try these instructions:

  • I can't move music files to different folders in my itunes library

    First, I have not created files in my itunes library for a while, and I could swear it was a lot easier years ago! ALL that I want to do is add the new music I've purchased or recently added to a folder that already exists in the playlist.
    1) All my recently added songs have been purchased through my iphone, I'd like to move them to a folder.
    2) When I connect my phone to my computer, I see the tab to click on my phone. I do, and it opens the content of Music in my iphone.
    3) In this content, there are folders to the left listed, beginning with Music, Movies, Purchased, Recently Added, Recently Played, "My Name" Favorites, another specific folder I labeled to seperate music, and then another Purchased folder.
    4) I WANT TO MOVE or copy my newly purchased music file to these folders so when I play them on my phone, I can SIMPLY choose the file that is asscoiated with my Favorites or other choice.
    Why Is This So Difficult to do! Or is it that easy and I'm overlooking the past hour I've spent trying!
    Second part of my aggravation, why can i NOT sort the files in a music folder by song name anymore?! We used to be able to click at the top of the listing, Name, Aritist, Albulm etc. to sort them alphabetically and make a search easier depending on , but now I can no longer do this.

    This happened to me too but I only tried one song and then gave up. I thought it was a fairly popular song.

  • Issue services with different Internal Orders within a Plant from one PO?

    And within one Line item you can add multiple service lines.

  • Changing page order within a file

    Just suscribed to PDF Pack, can I change page order within a file?  TIA

    Hi realestateguy,
    If you're using the Combine Files functionality in PDF Pack to combine multiple files into a single PDF, you can determine which order the files appear in the PDF. (Just select the files to combine, and then drag them into the order you want them to appear in the PDF.) However, if you're creating a single PDF, you need Acrobat to reorder the pages.
    I hope this helps.
    Best,
    Sara

  • Change the order within the navigation panel

    Hi everybody,
    within my navigation panel i have two iview, the detail navigation and an own iView (Web Dynpro within the dynamic navigation of a page). Until now the detail navigation appears at the first position in the navigation panel. How can i change the order within the navigation panel so that my own iView will be shown at the first position?
    regards,
    Sid

    Hi Raji,
    iviews can be ordered alphabetical. You can set this function in Systemadministration -> Service-Konfiguration -> Applications -> com.sap.portal.ivs.iviewservice -> iViewsSrv. Then you can set this value to ture (sorting true).
    You can also change the sort-priority value in the property of each iview to 0..n.
    I hope this will help you.
    regards,
    Sid

    A cursor would be one way to handle this...loop through the rows or you could use decode like so:
    select level, decode(level, 1, nvl(cr.country_name, 'NULL'),
                                2, nvl(st.state_name, 'NULL'),
                                3, nvl(ct.county_name, 'NULL'),
                                   nvl(ci.city_name, 'NULL'))
      from country_master cr, state_master st, county_master ct, city_master ci
           ((select 1 level, t_country_sl_no, 0 t_state_sl_no, 0 t_county_sl_no, 0 t_city_sl_no
              from mapping_table
             group by country_sl_no)
            union all
            (select 2 level, t_country_sl_no, t_state_sl_no, 0 t_county_sl_no, 0 t_city_sl_no
              from mapping_table
             group by country_sl_no, state_sl_no)
            union all
            (select 3 level, t_country_sl_no, t_state_sl_no, t_county_sl_no, 0 t_city_sl_no
              from mapping_table
             group by country_sl_no, state_sl_no, county_sl_no)
            union all
            (select 4 level, t_country_sl_no, t_state_sl_no, t_county_sl_no, t_city_sl_no

  • Scheduling orders within 180 days

    Hi, I'm setting up a working environment using CDP and block schedule.
    I have the master data set, orders are created correctly but I'm not being able to schedule orders within a period shorter than 180 days. I have tried this in block scheduled and not block scheduled resources and same thing happened in both.
    Even if I try to schedule a single order in the whole resource the same thing happens. Resource don't have shuts or things like that defined.
    I though the 180 days referred to the planning parameters set up in the resource but if I change this nothing happens.
    Any help is welcomed.
    Many thanks,
    Diego

    Hi Diego,
    Check the factory calendar assigned the time streams maintained for resources and re-generate the time stream in the resource. Also check if there is inbound resource (IBR) assigned in the location master. if IBR assigned, check and re-generate the time stream assigned to it.
    It should work.

    I'm in iPhone 5.  I transfer photos to a Windows 7 PC, using the USB cable.  Lately, the photos are appearing in Windows Explorer within monthly folders, with gibberish titles.  The folder names will be 8 random letters and numeric characters.  I tend to let photos build up, so there are about 2 years worth of these monthly folders… Between 20 and 25.  This is a huge hassle… I'm unable to tell what months are in each folder, by the folder name.…  Have to open each folder to see which month is in there.  I want to be able to look at all the photos on the iPhone in one view, as I was able to in the past.  How do I stop this foldering of photos, by months??  Thank you.  BC

    I have the same issue. I searched and finally got only one answer is -- Apple suggest customer using iMAC to transfer and backup photos instead of Windows. How great the solution is it!

    Ok Thank you.
    I wont worry now.
    Just maybe dig in deep and delete the deleted mails that are still around and that will hopefully clean it up a bit.
    Many thanks for your help and advice.
