Possible to have track name = file name?

Hello,
I have a bunch of old music folders (about 20-30 folders, 1 folder per album, from pre-iTunes days) that I'm trying to import into iTunes. Each folder is an album containing all tracks and each track starts with the track number followed by the track name. But, when I import into iTunes, for some reason it's not bring in the track number (and no longer including the track number in the track name—which I want because then I can use one of Doug's scripts for iTunes to set the track number based on the for two #s of the track name). How do I get iTunes to "ignore" wherever it's pulling the track name from and just use the filename as the track name?
Thanks,
Kristin.

Hi Kristen,
Did you ever solve this problem? I have 1400 "songs" that are listed sequentially by file name and I'd love for them to import by filename, so I can maintain their sequence.
Thanks!

Possible to have different names on one account?

Is it possible to have my account name different from the name on the registered credit card? My mother is allowing me to use her credit card for my Apple ID but on things like the iCloud it shows her name, since that's the name on the credit card. So, is there a way for me to have my name as the main account?

No.

Is it possible to have an audio file play throughout a digital publication on iPad?

Good afternoon!
I have been playing with the idea of having an audio track play throughout our digital publication on the iPad. I have it working now within a single article but it stops once you go to a new article. Would it be possible to have it continue playing while the user navigates through the other articles?
Thanks to everyone in the community, you have helped me through some tough problems!

Is it possible to have an application / file automatically load on bootup?

Hey there,
I have Leopard and a Parallels Windows XP machine. I would like this machine to load automatically once I have signed in. Can someone tell me if this is possible?
Many thanks

You can add the Parallels virtual machine file to your login items in your account settings. This file is associated with Parallels and will launch. As an added tip, if you're using Spaces you can designate which space Parallels opens in so that it's always the same upon login. I'm currently doing this with VMWare Fusion.

Is it possible to have multiple bookmarks files or tabs with different content, like Bookmarks 1, Bookmarks 2 etc. inside the same profile?

I guess this is more like a new feature in Firefox. I work at home and would like to separate work related bookmarks in a separate bookmarks file which is as easily available like a standard bookmarks tab. I propose a possibility to add multiple bookmarks tabs in the menu bar. It would be nice if those tabs could be renamed at will...

You can organize them in a few main folders (Home, Work, etc.) to make it easier to distinguish the bookmarks.
You can also export the Bookmarks to an HTML file and make copies of that file with the needed bookmarks.<br />
You can open such a HTML file in a Firefox tab and middle-click a link to open that link in a new tab.

Is it possible to have track and region parameters boxes under the inspector hidden by default when creating a new track?

I often need to access the effects section and/or select a different midi instrument and have to manual minimize these boxes. It would be nice if I could have these hidden by default as I'm accessing the portions covered by the track and region parameter boxes more frequently than I'm accessing the boxes themselves.
Thanks!

Before answering your question, you have to make sure you understand the difference between the different track types in GarageBand.
Tracks, you record your music on
There are three types of those Tracks.
MIDI Tracks (aka Software Instrument Tracks)
Audio Tracks (aka Real Instrument Tracks)
Drummer Track (only one per Project)
Global Tracks
These are the Tracks that can be shown/hidden at the top of the Tracks Area for specific purposes.
Arrangement Track
Movie Track
Transposition Track
Tempo Track
Master Track
This Track can also be shown/hidden in the Tracks Area. Please note, you cannot delete that Track, only hide it, similar to the Global Tracks
Regarding the Tracks you record your music on, you can delete any of those. It doesn't matter if you created them or there are part of a Template (maybe that is what you refer to as the default track). Once you delete the last Track, the "New Track Window" will pop up to add a new track.
I will explain all that in much more detail in my manual "GarageBand X - How it Works".
Hope that helps

Is it possible to have two files with the same name on my Zen To

Hia,
Is it possible to have two mp3 files with the same name?; I.e if I'm ripping a Bach CD, there are several tracks that have the name preludium, and I hate to do the rename.
Also, will I be able to sync my Zen so that It will only recieve new files that have been added since I last connected my Zen to my computer?
regards,
Fredrik

I believe same filename is OK because the Zen Player does not really care about filename. As far as I know, the Zen database of the tracks in the player is based on the track information such as Title, Artist, Album and Genre. This means you cannot have two tracks of the same Title, Artist, Album and Genre in the Zen Player.

Track names in score view?

Hi,
*Short question*: is it possible to see track names instead of instrument names in score view?
*Long story & question*: I am setting up an orchestral template. All articulations of for instance the picolo are in the same instance of kontakt. I use tracks with the same instrument and different midi channels to address all articulations.
In the arrange window I name all tracks appropriate. For instance pic-leg, pic-stac, ...
The problem is I don't see these track names in the score view. I only see the instrument name PICOLO when I switch on +view instrument names+. This is very annoying, as I have 12 articulations for the picolo. I do a lot of editting in the score view and cannot see which staff belongs to which articulation.
Is it possible to see the track names instead of the instrument names in score view? I know it can be done with using extra midi instruments, but I don't want to go that way, because then freezing isn't possible anymore. And importing tracks in another song isn't as easy anymore.
Thanks, Wouter.

Hi,
Thanks for your explanation. Unfortunately, it still doesn't help me.
What I mean:
- start new song
- Load a Channel strip setting, eg Pop Piano
- track->new with next midi channel
- rename new track to piano 2
The score view now displays Pop Piano for both tracks.
Ok.... we are getting closer!
Track names do not appear to show up in the Score when using Multi-Timbral instances (1 instrument with several tracks assigned to the same instrument on different MIDI Channels.
What I described in my earlier post does work for tracks assigned to different Instrument Channels.
Time for some feedback to Apple!
Your only solution seems to be to use the Score set method of naming/labelling staffs, and then working in Page view (ignoring the View:Instrument names).

No track names on burned cd's.

why aren't the track names and info transfering to the cd's when i burn playlists?

Because audio CDs do not have track names or other info.

Is it possible to have a video loop while audio plays in a motion menu?

Hi!
Here's the deal:
I have a seamlesly looping 8 second video clip for my motion menu, but the audio file for that menu lasts 1 minute. For rendering time/disc space and bit budgeting purposes I would like to use the video file as a loop while the audio file plays trough in my motion menu.
Is it possible to have the video file loop while the audio plays trough, or do I have to make my video 1 minute long too?
Any help will be appreciated!

The video must also be 1 minute long too.
You could always loop the 8 second clip though.
Load up Premiere, add your loop & 1 minute audio clip.
Set 2 seconds silence at the head of the audio.
Loop your 8 second clip 8 times to give you a 64 second video clip.
This will give you 2 seconds of silence at the trailing end, but there is really no other way

Im importing cds onto my itunes but they are coming up with no track names/artists etc, itunes is saying i have no internet connnection but im on my laptop and im online, can anyone help? ive never had this issues before? they are legit cds from HMV?

Im trying to import cds i got for xmas onto my itunes and they arecoming up with no artist/album cover or track names, when i click get track info it says i have not internet connection, but im on my windows laptop and can get on the internet, is there something i need to so in itunes tmake it rcognise the album details?

Hey there lollypops21,
It sounds like you are connected to the internet otherwise, but iTunes is giving you this error message when trying to get info from the Gracenote database to retrieve your album info. I had a couple of articles I wanted to recommend you try. First this one named:
iTunes for Windows can't access the Internet if proxy settings are incorrect
http://support.apple.com/kb/ts1490
You can always enter in the album information manually with this article if needed:
iTunes 11 for Windows: Edit song and CD information
http://support.apple.com/kb/PH12360
Customize song and CD info
You can edit information in the Info window to make it easier to find and sort items in your library. For example, you can:
Group individual movements on a classical CD into one work by indicating the name of the work (for example, “Piano concerto in A Minor, Op. 54”) in the Grouping field.
Group songs that are part of a compilation together in your library by clicking the Info button and selecting the “Part of a compilation” checkbox.
Identify the individual artists on a tribute album in the Artist field, and type “various” in the Album Artist field.
Create your own genre category by clicking Info and typing the category in the Genre field.
Change the order in which tracks on a CD play by changing the numbers in the Track Number fields.
Create a Smart Playlist that includes only songs that are just the right speed for your workout by typing the number of beats per minute in the BPM field. For instructions, see Create a Smart Playlist.
Identify a movie as a music video (click the Options button, and choose Music Video from the Media Kind pop-up menu).
Identify an item that you imported from a CD as an audiobook, so it appears under Audiobooks instead of Music (click the Options button and choose Audiobook from the Media Kind pop-up menu). If you do this, iTunes also remembers your place in the audiobook.
Enter custom sorting criteria for an item. Select the item, choose File > Get Info, click Sorting, and enter the custom text.
iTunes retrieves CD information from the Gracenote media database. For more information, visit the Gracenote website.
Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.
Take care,
Sterling

Is it possible to extract a PDF file into separate ones but using a specific file name that comes from the PDF page?

Hello,
I am unsure if this is possible but its worth asking.
I have a PDF document that contains 56 pages.
Each page has an 'Agreement Number' at the top left.
I have managed to successfully extract the pages into separate documents (56 documents) but they are all named the same but page 1, page 2, page 3 etc..
What i am trying to do is use these 'agreement numbers' in the extraction process so when they save i have 56 different files but they show the agreement number in the file name.
i have looked into changing the actual page numbers on the page thumbnails to see if you can do it that was to no avail.
any help would be much appreciated, or tell me i cant do it, at least i know ill be defeated.
PS i have around 6 or 7 PDF files with 50+ pages so its a long boring task if i need to go and rename all these.
Cheers
Jez

It would be possible in theory to do it with a folder-level script, provided the string you need is in exactly the same structural position on each page. You would use the doc.getPageNthWord() function to collect the string you want, then the doc.extractPages() function to save each page to a file.
See the Acrobat SDK documentation for help with scripting. http://bit.ly/AXISDKH

I also have a .csv file with the name of a jpeg in one column and a text description of each jpeg in a second column. Is there a way to automatically insert one jpeg (photo) and its corresponding text, each pair on one page, into a Indesign document?

I would also recommend to write the description into the meta data. This would allow to place a text frame above the image and it is possible to add meta information and file name automatically together with the image, when you place it or even in a prepared template.
Meta data information can be written easily in Bridge in the Meta File Workspace.

Error Occurred While Converting the file "Track Name". An Unknown Error Occurred (-50)

I'm trying to add the CD Ben Howard - I Forgot Where We Were to iTunes but I keep getting
Error Occurred While Converting the file "Track Name". An Unknown Error Occurred (-50).
Could someone please help?

Importing problems have been rife in the recent iTunes release.
Not sure how to solve your problem, but until a solution comes along feel free to rip in another program, such as Windows Media Player, and add the resulting MP3s to your iTunes library.
