Problem with Composer info/Album Artist/ tags & duplicate albums

I recently re-organized my iTunes library, which is on a network drive in my home. Since everything had gotten moved to new directories, I deleted all the songs from my iTunes library and re-imported everything. I've never been much of a playlist person, nor did I do any ratings of songs, so I saw this as a reasonable solution.
Everything seemed fine -- Some artwork went missing after I imported everything, probably because iTunes no longer sells a few of the albums I have? Not really sure, but I fixed that, and then noticed that a few of my albums were showing up with duplicates in Cover flow & Grid view. More specifically, I found several albums with "Album Artist" info for the first two tracks of the album, and then nothing in that field for the rest of the tracks. Likewise, there would be composer info for ONLY the first two songs, and none for the rest.
What would cause this? Does iTunes supply composer info? I'm not even sure where it's coming from, but now that I notice it, it's bugging me that several of my albums don't have any info in this field. Album Artist is easy enough to fix, but I'm not sure how to fix the composer field. Does Genius change or import any info for these fields? I did notice this right after I ran Genius, and when I ran Genius, I did lose my internet connection in the middle of it downloading info, and had to restore it.
Most of my CD's were ripped using Exact Audio Copy, and track info came from it's built-in freeDB utility. I just find it really odd that I've got a couple dozen albums like this, out of about 12,000 songs, and only the first 2 tracks of each album have Composer and Album Artist info.
Any ideas how to fix this?

Welcome to AD!
I think WMP did this to random tracks in my library. Nicely filling in Album Artist & Compser on some tracks, and removing the track x of y info (the y went missing) and putting weird '0000 0A540 0000 ....'comments in the comment field.
Interesting that it only happened on the first 2 tracks of these albums - it was completely random on my files.
iTunes doesn't update track info from the internet, but WMP does. I rarely use WMP and it happened right after a WMP update. I have since turned off the option for WMP to get info from the internet.
Anyway....to fix the Cover flow & Grid views in iTunes, you have to make the Album Artist field match.
Select all the tracks from a CD, right-click > Get Info.
Answer yes , you want to edit multiple items.
Type in the Album Artist field. You can do the Composer field while you're at it, assuming you like having that info there.
Maybe there is some MP3 tag editor that would be faster, but that's the only way to do it in itunes.
Or perhaps you have backups that don't have this mess in the tags.

Problem with Creating Info Record

Hello Gurus,
I've problem with Creating Info Record
i tried to create info record for Plant Specific/Purchase Org
The first Screen General Data is OK
i entered all the data in the next screen ie
Purchase Organization Data screen but i'm getting error
<b>Make an entry in all required fields</b>
but there is Mandatory Textbox ie "VALID TO" which im unable to select Bcos its Disabled
pls help me regarding this
thanks in advance

Hi
Have u given the net price. <b>VALID TO</b> is the date until which the price shown in the info record is valid.
If there is no price that is valid on the current date, the last-valid price is displayed and the date field contains the day before the start of the next validity period (this may be 12.31.9999 if there is no further validity date). If all validit periods lie beyond the current date, the price of the next period is displayed. The date field then contains the end date of this period.
These validity periods we will maintain Purchse data CONDITIONS while creating info record. Check the validity period for the conditions.
Hope this will helps u

Problem with errorPage in page directive tag while proxying request from iPlanet to WebLogic

          Hi,
          We are using iPlanet 4.0 as the webserver and WebLogic 5.1 as the application server on different solaris machines. We have put our JSPs in the weblogic application server and proxy the requests from iplanet to weblogic.
          We are facing a problem with the errorPage in the 'Page Directive' tag of the JSP. We have given xxx.jsp as an 'errorpage' parameter in the page directive tag. If we directly access the JSP from the WebLogic, and there is an system error, the error page specified in the JSP is getting displayed. But if we access the JSP from iPlanet and there is an system error, instead of displaying the error page, iPlanet is asking whether we want to download the file. If we say yes it downloads the actual JSP code itself. We have defined the mime types in obj.conf file as well as mime.types for the iPlanet.
          If anyone knows how this can be solved, it would be of great help
          Regards,
          Krish


How did you configure the obj.conf file? proxy by mime type or ppath? It
          seems errorPage.jsp was not proxyed and treated as a unknown mime type.

Alphabetical problems with composer view in iTunes?

I have mostly classical music in my iTunes library and would find the Composer view function really helpful... but it doesn't work properly.
When I click on a composer within the letter A (Alwyn for example) then it lists all the albums that feature that composer on the right panel - like it should. However, when I carry on and get toward the end of letter B (Britten for example) then it starts to include albums featuring composers who is next alphabetically. And there after the alphabet is messed up.
So when I click on Scarlatti, the only albums I also see albums featuring Schöenberg, etc. Some Scarlatti albums are also on the previous entry (Sawer). What is going on? And how do I fix it??
Many thanks.

.... would find the Composer view function really helpful... but it doesn't work properly.
Teddy,
The only view in iTunes that works properly is Songs view (IMHO). Use Songs view. Enable the Column Browser, and make sure that Composer is one of the fields. Click on a composer's name, and you will get an accurate list of tracks for that composer.

Problems with composing a message with Gmail in RTL mode

It happens in RTL mode when you mix Hebrew text with numbers or with English text.
It happens only in Firefox. No problem with Chrome or IE browsers for example.
Steps to reproduce:
1. Type some Hebrew text without hitting the "enter" key. like שנה טובה
Gmail correctly identifies the text as being from an RTL language and aligns it to the right (RTL mode)
2. At the end of the Hebrew text type some English text (or some numbers ). Happy new year January 2015
So you end up with a line with "Happy new year January 2015 שנה טובה"
3. Start clicking the Backspace key. After a 3-6 clicks the backspace is not responding. (same bad behavior with the right and left navigation keys).
Tested in a new/fresh profile.
Also tried it with a different gmail account and got same problems.
Firefox 34
Win 7 x64

Why doesn't sort by album artist sort by album artist?

I so far haven't found a straight answer for this, so I figured I'd just ask for myself.
I have more music than my phone can hold. So it can be hard to navigate a phone thats literally just music and vital systems, so I like using the horizontal view in the music player, where the album art is displayed in the grid. The only problem is that everything is just scattered about, seemingly sorted alphebetically. Before IOS7 it was sorted by artist, and it was far easier to navigate through my library, but now the option labelled as "Group By Album Artist" does absolutely nothing. I've changed that setting a million times, and yet still nothing changed.
Is my phone just stupid? (unlikely, since my last phone had the same issue) I'm incredibly meticulous about the song info, so I know that all of the proper information is included. (seemingly, at least.)
Is there something I'm missing? Or maybe some specific thing I can do to achieve the same effect?
I currently have an Iphone 5s, and I previously used a 4. Both have experienced the same problem.
(I also recently began to edit the sorting fields in itunes, and still nothing changed.)

It groups them by Album Artist, instead of Artist.
Keep in mind that for most albums the Artist & Album Artist are the same so likely you won't see much of a difference. Most albums won't even have the Album Artist filled in.
When horizontal, they are sorted by Album name.

Problems with Song Info in iTunes

I have a lot of music in my iTunes library that I've collected from friends or imported from old CD's. There are multiple instances in my library where iTunes treats songs from the same album as being from two different (but identical albums). In other words, I'll have an entire single album's worth of songs in the library, but iTunes will list the artist as having two albums in the library rather than one, and this will be reflected in cover flow, showing the same cover art twice in a row.
All the song info matches up...how can I fix this?

Check a few things:
Make sure the SORT ALBUM is the same for all copies, also make sure that all tracks of the album have the same disc numbering. So if one set is "Disc 1 of 1" make sure the others say the same thing.
Those are the most likely culprits, but go and compare the "two albums" side by side. Select Get Info, and go back and forth making sure all of the album info and album sort info is exactly the same. That's most likely your problem.

You have bigger problems than you realize. On this page - the one after the Splash intro page,

As seen in Firefox with increased text. See screenshot.
Notice how your text boxes are colliding into other text boxes? This happens when web designers paint themselves into a corner with a rigid layout. Web pages must be flexible for all screen and text sizes.
You are using APDivs as a primary layout method which is a bad choice. And here is why.

Hi
Thank you for your answer. The function module SMUM_XML_PARSE is a good way to Read a XML. Now I have found the Correct way with simple transfer and it works with an array too.

Problems with File Info Option

I've been getting completely frustrated adding specific information under the "description" table listed under File>File Info option in Bridge CS4.
Everything is greyed out and I cannot add information. I have to go through each of the 100s of images to find out that some of the images will not allow information added even though they were all taken with the same freaking camera.
Please help!!!!! I have 1000s of images and cannot go through each one to add copyright information etc...the files are not locked when I look under the finder option.
Is anyone else having this problem????

Problems With Billing Info On iTunes...

Ok, I've read SEVERAL people on here complaining of the same exact thing that just happened to me last night. Here's the story: apparently, i had purchased 5 songs on iTunes and put them on my iPod with the same debit card I've been using for the past 2 years I've been using it (on iTunes, among other places). This was on 5/25. Yesterday, I logged onto iTunes to purchase another song and it kept telling me that my security code for my card was invalid. I kept re-entering the number several times to no avail. Then, it went from saying my security code was invalid to saying that they cannot process my request at this time. So I went to the support "express" lane and e-mailed a technical guy. While waiting for a response, I figured I'd give my bank a call to see what was happening. Apparently, they put a hold on my card because they noticed something "fishy" (a $1.00 charge and then a $1.00 credit) without notifying me. Because my card was on this "hold", Apple/iTunes was unable to bill me for the five songs I purchased on 5/25. So my bank then cleared the hold, and said there should be no problems after that...like I've said I've used the same card/same address everything for the past two years now without modifying or changing anything. So I went back in, and tried entering the same card again, and this time I got the dreaded, "Please contact iTunes support to complete this transaction." And that's the same message I kept getting. I've called three different numbers (no one helped), and I've e-mailed the support express lane from two different e-mail accounts.
Here's the response I got from both:
"After reviewing your account, I have contacted a supervisor for assistance. They told me that they fixed the problem. Please wait at least thirty minutes before accessing your account. This is necessary to prevent the error message from returning."
Guess what? I waited well over an hour, and am still getting the same **** message. Just so I didn't have some outstanding charges, I went back and entered my credit card information (to just pay for the five songs that had yet to be billed on 5/25) and it worked and the bill went through. So I went back in and tried to change it back to my debit card (who wants to pay interest, when you have never had to for the past 2 years??!) and I'm still receiving the same **** message. I've read all of these horror stories of how people went back and forth with this "support" over 30 times...that is ridiculous! Why the **** isn't there some number you can call to complain on this *** backwards "wait 24 hours before we give you a scripted response" nonsense?

And before this problem existed, there was never an option for "NONE" at the Billing Info menu for my iTunes account. When I logged on after the support allegedly corrected the problem, the "NONE" feature randomly appeared! I've even tried clicking NONE and then DONE to update it, and even that gives me the "Please contact iTunes support to complete this transaction." message.
