Number of gigabytes displayed at itunes

I have transferred music to the itunes page and it reflects 3272 songs, 9.1 days and 60.88g. The number of gigs seems excessive since somebody I know has posted 1100 songs and itunes shows 3+ days and 4g. Is there a reason for the
disproportionately large number of gigs shown on my computer?

Hi,
I'm more familiar with the Mac version of iTunes, so my apologies if these directions are slightly off.
To start with, lets check on the encoding settings you have. Go to the iTunes preferences window -> Advanced heading -> Importing tab.
What settings do you have there? E.g. I have the following:
Next, to confirm this is what all your files are encoded as try this:
- In iTunes, select the "Music" shortcut on the left hand pane
- Right-click on one of the column headers for the music selection shown in the main window and add "Kind" as a column
- Click on this column to sort by the file type.
- Is everything the same file type?
As an aside, if the music was "encoded" at a greater level than that which you refer to, is it possible to globally change the list and reinstall it on my ipod at a more efficient level?
Yes. Well, sort of. By this I mean that iTunes will happily create a new encoded version of the files, but won't overwrite the originals. By sorting by kind however you can easily select and remove all the 'full-fat' versions after the conversion.
To convert the files, the first thing you need to do is change the encoder to something a bit more compact. Let me know what is currently being used and we can go from there.

How do i Increase the number albums displayed in iTunes 11 currently only showing 5

How do i Increase the number albums displayed in iTunes 11 currently only showing 5 in iTunes 10 it showed ten. With only five albums showing in a line at one time it takes a long time to look at my collection. In the previous version you could alter the size of the picture of the album. Has cover flow gone?

just a hunch but do you us more than one iTMS account to purchase content ?
right-click on the app in iTunes and +get info+. go to the summary pane and check with which account it was purchased
if you then log into that account, you should be able to update the app and the number will disappear.

What to do if Windows displays an "iTunes.exe - Corrupt File" message

Greetings fellow Podders, Resident Furball here...
It is about time that I produced a single post for all the chkdsk issues that we've been discussing since November 2004. The Apple KB article seems to cover the major points succinctly, but we need to address the more serious variations and flavours of the problem.
<hr>
What to do if Windows displays an "iTunes.exe - Corrupt File" message
Many users are coming across this seemingly distressing error message in Windows when connecting their iPods. As described in Apple KB Article 300554, the message reads:
iTunes: iTunes.exe - Corrupt File
The file or directory \iPod_Control\iTunes\????????? is corrupt and unreadable. Please run the Chkdsk utility.
and the ????????? can be anything (eg. sysinfo, Temp1, DeviceInfo etc.).
<hr>
Don't panic!
If you do see this, don't worry, and don't panic. Contrary to what the error message reads, this issue actually has very little to do with iTunes. The iPod_Control is the key to this - because this folder doesn't even exist in iTunes... it's on the iPod!
...so! Installing and uninstalling iTunes really won't do you much good at all... it's the iPod that needs attention.
<hr>
What's causing this error?
To be honest, we don't know. We saw a massive number of reports of this issue back in November 2004, because iPod Updater 2004-11-15 contained a firmware bug that corrupted iPod system files when the Pod entered Deep Sleep.
But this firmware bug was corrected in iPod Updater 2005-06-26.
Of late, we have seen a resurgence in chkdsk errors on Discussions. Some of these are caused by the old buggy firmware that people still have. Some of the errors are more serious and are hardware and operating system-related. But we have still to pin down the exact cause of this error.
<hr>
Okay, so what do I do if I see this error?
In short, as Apple have recommended in their KB article:
Restore your iPod, using the latest iPod Updater.
Follow the instructions carefully. Ensure that you download the iPod Updater. Ensure that you install it, and then ensure that you run it with the iPod connected and follow the prompts to the letter.
The broad majority of the errors are painlessly fixed this way. Of course, it does mean that your iPod will be wiped, so make sure that you have your music/data backed up, and/or present in iTunes so you can resynchronise it when you have finished Restoring.
<hr>
Okay, I've Restored, but the error is still coming up
Are you sure you've Restored? Quite a number of folks are assuming that just downloading the iPod Updater is enough. It's not. And neither is downloading iPod Updater, and installing it on your computer. It needs to be implemented on the iPod, according to the iPod Updater instructions.
Okay, so if you have Restored your iPod, and you are still getting this error, then you have a variety of options available.
Chkdsk errors that are not fixed with a Restore are most likely down to two things:
1) A physical issue on the iPod itself
or
2) An issue on the computer's operating system
Here's where it gets woolly. There are a variety of things you could try...
Format the iPod in Windows
This would usually have the same effect as a Restore, but a deep-level format in Windows is something that Apple have recommended in the past, as a last resort to completely wipe the iPod before performing a Restore with iPod Updater. This process wipes the iPod.
To do this:
1) Enable Disk Mode on the iPod. You can do this either in iTunes (which is best), or manually on the iPod itself.
2) Open My Computer and locate your iPod
3) Right-click the iPod and select Format
4) Leave the parameters set at their defaults, and ensure Quick Format is unchecked
5) Hit Format
6) Then Restore your iPod as normal.
Run the Chkdsk utility
You could run the chkdsk utility on your iPod. But Restoring your iPod has the same effect as running chkdsk. Chkdsk does not wipe your iPod.
1) Enable Disk Mode as above
2) Determine the drive letter of your iPod from My Computer
3) Go to Start, Run
4) Type cmd. Hit Enter to take you to the Command Prompt.
5) Type chkdsk /f X:, where X is the drive letter of your iPod. Hit Enter, and any corrupt files are found and corrected.
Run Windows ScanDisk
ScanDisk is the Windows version of Chkdsk. It does not wipe your iPod.
1) Enable Disk Mode
2) Right-click the iPod in My Computer, select Properties
3) Select Tools
4) Select the option to scan the disk for errors
Try changing the Drive Letter of the iPod
Sometimes Windows confuses the drive letters, and this can cause the iPod to be adversely affected. Try the instructions detailed in Apple KB Article 93499 to change the drive letter of the iPod. This does not wipe your iPod.
Try changing Hardware Policies for the iPod
The Hardware Policies in Windows have been known to affect the way in which the iPod connects, synchronises, and disconnects. This does not wipe your iPod.
1) Enable Disk Mode so the iPod appears in My Computer
2) Right-click the iPod in My Computer
3) Select Properties
4) Select Hardware Policies
5) Select Optimize for Performance (instead of Optimize for Removal)
6) Restart your computer.
Contact Apple for a replacement iPod
Some chkdsk issues have been caused by faulty hardware. As a last resort, contact Apple Support by phone to report your issue, and/or request an iPod Service.
If you explain that you have followed all these steps, you should have a strong case for obtaining a replacement iPod.
<hr>
Thanks!
Thank you to everyone for their continued support, kindness and excellent troubleshooting skills here on Discussions. There are countless people that I am deeply grateful to for their assistance in handling this issue. Rest assured folks, you have made me the Discussions Furball that I am today.
Happy Podding folks!
Kind regards,
Gopha.

iPod Updater 2006-03-23 has been released
iPod Updater 2006-03-23 includes iPod Software 1.1.1 for the new iPod and new iPod Software 1.1.1 for iPod nano.
iPod Updater 2006-03-23 contains the same software versions as iPod Updater 2006-01-10 for all other iPod models.
What's new in iPod Updater 2006-03-23:
- Volume limit
- Bug fixes
I have been trying to ascertain from Apple Support Level 2 as to whether the latest iPod firmware improves or provides better resolution for the chkdsk issue. If anyone has been using iPod Updater 2006-03-23 to resolve their chkdsk woes, feel free to post in here just to say how things worked out for you...
Kind regards,

"My Number" is not displaying anywhere on my iPhone

I had a problem where “My Number” did not display anywhere on my iPhone or in iTunes.
Resolution, get a new SIM card. In my case there was a problem when I activated the phone; the number was not saved to the card. iPhone and iTunes gets your number from the card. This however was resolved when I had the SIM card replaced and the iPhone reactivated. I also had to reestablish my voice mail.
Kenny at tech support suggested this.
Thanks

How do I get v6.0 to display current iTunes info, not cached info?

I updated to AppleTV v6.0 and it displays old cached iTunes info. Another AppleTV using v5.3 displays current iTunes info. How do I get v6.0 to display current iTunes info?

Hi Charles,
Use [Dr%] Variable formula as =if(IsNull([Dr%]);0;[DR%])
Here IsNull returns the Boolean value of variable [Dr%] if its true then inserts 0 else the percentage values of failed tests based on the total number of assembly tests performed.
I Hope this is what you want to achieve....
Thanks....

How to set the number of rows displayed in a classical report at runtime?

Hi,
Our customer has several standard client hardware configuration and would like to enable end users to choose their 'display profile' at login time. This 'display profile' would contain predefined values for these hardware configurations and supposed to set various paramters that should define the number of rows displayed in a classical report region.
I tried to provide parameters on the report region but it refused to accept anything but numerical values. Is it possible to do this?
Regards, Tamas

The link is to the closest linkable point in the documentation to the description of the Number of Rows (Item) attribute.
It sounds like you have been trying to enter—unsuccessfully—an item name or substitution string into the Number of Rows attribute. The Number of Rows (Item) attribute is the one that actually allows you to do this. Click on the flashlight icon beside it to get a list of items from the application.

Hi,
Speak with your SD consultant. They can set up the copy control in SD so that the sales order is populated in the invoice in field ZUONR (Assignment).This will then copy to the assignment field in accounting.
Alternatively you can use an exit to populate another field during the Posting.
Kind regards

Number of Rows Displayed in a SQL Report Region

Hi,
Just wondering whether it is possible to control the 'Number of Rows' displayed under the 'Layout and Pagination' section within the Report Attributes page.
Basically need to know if I can programmatically control this or even better, can it be customized by the user as the user may want to see say 15 rows, 200 rows or 'All' rows of a certain region on the page. FYI, I have three different report regions on one page and want to give the user the flexibility to modify the number of rows displayed per region.
Thanks.
Tony.

I am trying to delete a large number of songs from my Itunes library without having to delete them one at a time. How do I do that?

I am trying to delete a large number of songs from my itunes library without having to do it one at a time. How can I do this. All of my songs have check marks by them. Help!

Then I suspect you do not have iTunes Match enabled. Using that "delete all" command in the Settings does not remove the music from the cloud, nor does it disable iTunes Match. With iTunes Match enabled you will still see all the music.
So go to Settings > iTunes and App Store and make sure iTunes Match is set to ON (green).

HT2729 I have limited space on my new ipad. How can I limit the number of songs from my itunes on my imac from going to my ipad when I connect the two?

I have limited space on my new ipad. How can I limit the number of songs from my itunes on my imac from going to my ipad when I connect the two?

you can do this by keeping the external hard drive connected and doing the following
-hold shift key down on computer while opening iTunes and a prompt will appear to choose a library
-select choose library, iTunes should bring up your explorer windows where you can search for the external HD
-after you find the external HD find the iTunes folder you just copied to it
-after opening the iTunes folder look for the file that says iTunes library.itl or if you can't see that extenstion just look for a document looking thing in the iTunes folder that shows up as a database file
-double click the database file and boom iTunes should load your library without having to copy it to the computer
PS: do make sure that if you are going to do it this way, make sure that the external HD is connected at all times, because if you don't then you will get exclamation marks next to your iTunes songs
double PS: if you are unsure how to find out if the iTunes library file is a database file just right click it and choose properties and under the type it should say database file
hope this helps:)

How to control number of rows displayed in a report by user?

Hi All!
I have provided a select list called 'Number of rows' in my report page.User can choose any number in the list, and accordingly he should be able to see so many number of rows in that report page.
For example: if user selects 50 from the list, he will be able to see 50 records at a time out of say 2000 records retrieved. I want to control number of rows displayed per page dynamically. And if he selects 25 in the select list, he should be able to see 25 records at a time out of 2000.
How to do it? Please give me ideas.
Thanking in advance.
Regards,
Deepika.

Hi Deepika,
If you have a Select List with Submit called, say "P1_ROWS", you just enter P1_ROWS into the Report Attribute's "Number of Rows (Item)" setting.
Regards
Andy

I have no idea which component you're talking about. If want to discuss here about a non-Sun JSF component, then please mention about the name, version and build in detail. You can also consider posting this question at the website/forum/mailinglist of the component manfacturer rather than here. At least I can tell you that the Sun JSF h:dataTable has the 'rows' attribute for that. I can also suggest you to just take a look in the TLD documentation of the component in question. There should be all possible attributes listed with a detailed explanation about the behaviour.
