Problem with song names

Hey, I'm having this problem with song names. For example, instead of the song title being "Song Title" it will be like "Artist Name - Song Title". It's like this for half my files. I'm trying to organize my music files and every time I fix it, it keeps going back.
This has happened to me before and usually if I double click it, it will automatically change. This time, nothing seems to work except doing it manually ("Get Info)" and that would take too long since I have 7,000 files like this. I posted this on another board and somebody said to right click the songs and click Update ID3 v2.4 which originally worked, but now nothing but manually doing it works.
This is like this when I open it for other programs, but I know iTunes caused. I think it has something to do with the "Keep my iTunes Folder Organized" check because iTunes renames the file. I also tried reinstalling itunes and readding my files.
Thanks for any help!

I don't completely understand what you are trying to say, but iTunes doesn't automatically change your tag information.
iTunes stores a copy of the tag information in the library database. When you play a track, iTunes re-reads the tag information from the song file and updates the library data. This produces the efferct that iTunes appears to change tag information but it isn't, it is meerly reflecting a change that already happend.
Do you have any other software on your PC that can automatically change tag information? For example Windows Media player can do it if you select an option to retrieve data from the internet and overwrite existing info. But other software may do it too.
If you want to force iTunes to re-read all tags, go to your Music view and go to Edit>>Select All. Then right click in the selection and choose Get Info. Don't change anything, just exit by clicking OK. iTunes will update the library with the tag information from the song files.

Problems with song's names in iTunes Store

So, I have a problem with song's names in iTunes Store on my iPhone 6+ 128. with 8.2
You can see it on attached screens.
I tried to change the font size and erase the phone and then install it again by default. The problem manifests itself on 6+ and didn't on my iPad with the same program version.

That's really curious. Sorry I don't have anything else by way of potential solutions to offer, but it may be worth contacting Apple about this one.

Problem with variable name in ZXRSRTOP include (virtual KF)

Hi all,
I am coding a routine to use a virtual key figure in the BEx.
I have just a little problem with the name of a variable:
as explained in the documentation, I created the variable with the prefix G_POS_, the name of the infocube and the name of the infoobject all together:
DATA: G_POS_BC_ST_003_C_DIV__C_COMPAR type i.
The problem is that this variable name is longer than 30 characters, so the system doesn't accept it.
Is there a workaround, other than changing the name of the infoobject (which is a navigational attribute)?
Any help would be appreciated.
Loï

Hello Marc,
I understand that I have to use a concatenate function and a dynamic call of the variable with (variable) instruction, but i do not understand how to implement it.
the infocube name is BC_ST_003
the characterisdtic name is C_DIV__COMPAR
So, in the include ZXRSRTOP the statement
DATA : G_POS_BC_ST_003_C_DIV__COMPAR
does not work due a length problem (see first post)
But in the same include the statement
+DATA: l_global_name type c.
concatenate 'GPOS' 'BC_ST_003' 'C_DIV__C_COMPAR' into l_global_name separated by '_'.+
drives to the following error : statement is not accessible.
Could u please provide me with an example of the code in the include ZXRSRTOP, and in the include ZXRSRZZZ for the use of this variable.
Thanks in advance.

If you mean you subscribed to iTunes Match, you have to import your music into your iTuens library in order to add it to iTunes Match. iTunes Match (and iCloud) only works with iOS devices and computers. It won't work with your iPod Classic; you'll have to sync that with iTunes in order to add your music.

Error -43 when try playback on win7 64bits over the network QT that recide MacPro osx 10.5 however i can play with VLC player, This happend when the QT is inside a Folder with name longer 8 chars other files has no problem with long names just the QT

Never mind, I already found the solution myself.
What I did wrong was:
- not copying the master image to the nbi folder
- selecting the netinstall-restore.dmg image as source to copy to my HD.
The thing is, when you create a netinstall image for 10.5, the image itself is already included in the netinstall image so you don't have to do anything else.
With the 10.4 image however, you also have to copy the master image to the NetBootSP0 directory.
In the *.nbi folder contains an netinstall-restore.dmg file. But that is only to boot you to netrestore, it's not the image itself.
Other alternative is to copy the images to another folder that you share with AFP and adjust the configuration of netrestore like described in this manual:
http://www.shellharbourd.det.nsw.edu.au/pdf/misc/osxrestoringnet.pdf
This manual was also how I figured out that I forgot to copy the image to the NetBootSP0 folder.

Problem with reserved names

hi everyboody
i have a problem with reserved names
i have a table t
drop table t;
create table t
t_id int,
"DATE" date
then i insert it
insert into t values(1,'15.04.10');
insert into t values(2,'16.04.10');
select * from t;
it'sw work correct
T_ID DATE
1 15.04.10
2 16.04.10
but when i try to create procedure for insert, like this
create or replace procedure my_proc(p1 int,p2 date)
as begin
insert into t values(p1,p2);
end;
i receive error message
i know that the problem is with the name of the second column called "DATE"
and if we changed this name (for example "tDATE") the procedure will be work
but i can't change this name
if anybody knows the solution please help me

Karthik:
No, it is not a bug, it is just the way that Oracle works. The list of reserved words can be found in the view v$reserved_words. There is a column in that view called reserved. A word that is in the view and has Y in the reserved column is "really" reserved, that is you will get an error if you use it in an inappropriate place (like a column name) without quoting it. Words with N in the reserved column should not be used as object names, but because they either became special later in Oracle history or for other reasons can be used unquoted but shouldn't be.
Although I don't know the exact internal mechanism, from experience, it appears to work this way. When Oracle stores the name of a table or column, it always makes it upper case, unless it is double quoted in which case the case is preserved. When it retireves the names, it does not make any changes to the name as it is stored, so always retieves the name as it was stored.
In the OP's case, by using double quotes he got around the reserved word issue, but by using all upper case within the double quotes what ended up stored in the data dictionary was a reserved word. The sql statement probably worked in sql because it is just doing a string match to see if the specified column names are right, and in the absence of a column list, may even be just looking to see if the type and number is correct without actually looking at the name. I suspect this because it works even if you explicitly list the columns as long as DATE is double quoted.
SQL> INSERT INTO t (id, "DATE") VALUES (1, sysdate);
1 row created.
SQL> roll
Rollback complete.However, if you do not double quote the column, you get:
SQL> INSERT INTO t (id, DATE) VALUES (1, sysdate);
INSERT INTO t (id, DATE) VALUES (1, sysdate)
ERROR at line 1:
ORA-01747: invalid user.table.column, table.column, or column specificationIn the case of the PL/SQL, my quess would be that the compiler is retrieving the column names form the data dictionary, then barfing on something similar to the ORA-1747 error above in the compilation process.

Burn with song names etc...

Im gonna burn a few songs to a CD-RW and was just checking which burning method i need to set in iTunes to burn with song names, album names etc.
Also, can i burn to a DVD-RW with these settings
NB: the CD will be imported into an iTunes Libary, and not really played in a CD player.
*nathan

You want to burn your disc as a Data disc. This will maintain all the ID3 tag information you have entered.
1. Create a Playlist with the content you want to burn to disc.
2. Open iTunes Prefs > Advanced >Burning (Prefs > Burning in pre-iTunes 5).
3. Select the Data CD or DVD option and click OK.
4. Highlight the Playlist and click the Burn button in the upper right corner of the window.

Problems with songs skipping in ITunes Library

I recently transferred my Itunes from an old PC based computer to a new PC based laptop (GateWay M Series - Windows Vista). After that I upgraded to Itunes 8.1. I am now experiencing the problem with songs in my Library skipping after about 5 seconds into the song. I have my library sorted alphabetically, sometimes after the 5 seconds it skips down 10-15 songs before it lands on one that it plays all the way through. In one instance it played all the way through on 3 songs from the same album - only to start skipping after 5 seconds into the 4th song. It doesn't happen on every song. There doesn't seem to be a rhyme or reason to the types of songs this happens with - some of them were purchased songs, some were from CDs. I tried uninstalling the Library and then reinstalling - figuring that my library was corrupted. But - it is still doing it - only now it is doing it on different songs than before. Again no rhyme or reason. Has anyone else experienced this? Any ideas on what I can do to fix this!! My husband and son were able to transfer their libraries from the old PC to their new PC laptops and they haven't had this problem with their libraries!

Similar problem here, running OS X 10.5.6 and iTunes 8.1.1. Any suggestions?

Creative zen 4g problems with song/artist ***

hey all--
i'm mostly very happy with my new 4g creative zen, to which I upgraded from my old g zen nano that I love. my only problem is that many, many files i try to transfer to it (i've used both the zen organizer software as well as the windows explorer drag-and-drop method) come up all strange. for instance, songs by artist A will show up in? artist B's folder, with artist B's song names as titles for artist A's songs.
now, granted, i have been ripping music onto my hard dri've for years, and many of the original discs i ripped may have been burned copies. plus, many of the discs may be pre-AAC encoding.
Also, as I said, once the songs are on my Zen, they appear in these weird places and under the wrong names, but when I look at them through the Zen software on my computer, they appear correctly.
so (i may be kind of answering my own question here) is AAC encoding the problem? and if so, is there a conversion tool allowing me to convert the files i already have to AAC?
another thought: if this has to do with IDE-3 tags, what can I do to rename the songs so they will come up correctly?
Thanks for whatever you can do.

I was given this as a gift. I charged it for 8hrs when i got it and it showed fully charged. I have been trying to give it a full charge over the last 2 days once on a power adapter plugged into the wall the other through the USB port on my laptop .each for about 8hrs each. Using different cables. I remove the player and it shows full battery (never gives the plug icon though)and within 30 minutes of play music, I get the low battery warning. it was purchased on 0/6/200. nAlso it will not power on while charging.My original ZEN was able to play music when charging this one says DOCKED and will not repond to the power button being presses.

Nano 2nd Generation, Problems with Songs ???

Hello, I have transfered songs from my iTunes to my Nano and there is 2 songs that play for couple of seconds than just stops and goes to the next song. Weird thing is when i go to play the song directly from iTunes it plays normally. I have also downloaded the songs to my Ipod Video 30gb and the same exact songs play normal with no problems. ?????? I just dont understand whats wrong. I have even did the 5 R's and restored my Nano and still the same problems with just those 2 songs. I could just go without those 2 songs but, it just makes me curious to why it works in iTunes and on my Ipod Video 30gb, but not on the Nano. If you have had this problem before or know of a solution your help would be greatly appreciated. Thank You for taking the time to read this...
Ipod Nano 2nd Generation Other OS Windows Vista

I have this exact same problem, but after doing the 5 R's it is now cutting songs short that didn't have that problem before. Unlike Junz, I can't live with random songs being cut off. I am very interested in an answer as well.

Please help I have problems with songs,podcasts,and just general media play

hey guys, I'll get straight into it. My problem is that many of the songs and podcasts in my library come up with the little exclamation mark when I havn't changed anything or deleted anything, so I have to find the original files, which occasisionally just dissapear for no apparent reason. Also I have problems with d/l podcasts as sometimes it wont d/l the newest edition etc but comes up with the little '!' mark. I have just upgraded to iTunes 7 and although the problem was occuring before the upgrade just aggravated it, and messed up my library files causing me to revert to an older library.
Now last and most importantly, my audio has suddenly become choppy since I upgraded. This is similar to the problem I have with the sound in Quicktime only working properly if I keep all other apps and tasks to a bare minimum (even if they take up barely any system resources). This seems strange as my system is not exactly poor performance.
Thanks in advance guys !

Hi,
If you right click a file, and do getinfo on the summary page this will give a file location, is this matching the file location on your hard disk? If not that might explain the exclamation marks?
Kind Regards
Rich

Problem With Image Names

When I enter new images into iPhoto I name them using a set scheme. It goes something like this D108R218 - 14 - 1. The number following D is for the DVD disk on which the backup for this image is stored, the number following R is for the number of the roll, and the number following the first - is the number of the image on the roll. The final number following the last - is the number of prints made from this image.
This system has worked well for me in terms of letting me track my thousands of images but I currently have a problem with it. As so often happens when I was applying these numbers I made some changes in the way I entered them. Early on I used the # sign following the Roll number but several months ago I stopped using it. Early on I would make a space before and after the -. Trouble is now when I conduct image searches there is no way for me to know whether to include the # or the spaces before and after the -. Is there any way I can fix this mess without having to go through thousands of images making the system uniform?
Thanks,
Win

Terence,
How would you be able to do this using the Batch command? Wouldn't that destroy the number sequence entered into each file name?
All best,
Win

Exporting text files with song names and artist names only

I need help exporting a playlist as a text file. I know how to do this already,(right click playlist and select "export song list...") but when i open it up in notepad, it is unorganized and is very hard to read. I am burning a disc for my mom and pasting the playlist on the back of the cd cover. I dont want to type out every artist and song name. Help is appreciated.

do you have a copy of Excel (or a different spreadsheet) on the PC, kevin? if so, try opening the text file with that. then it's relatively easy to remove information by deleting the columns of info that you don't want.

Problem with song tracks order

I seem to have this problem with only one album. Even though each song in the album has been correctly identified by its track number it still shows up in iTunes in the wrong order. This is especially annoying because the album has gapless playback and since all the tracks are in the wrong order I can't listen to it as I normally would.

Yeah... same thing happened when I downloaded Season 2 of HOW I MET YOUR MOTHER. They all transfered over fine, but in complete wrong order. *****, because the show follows a serial time-line and now it's all messed up.
Anyone help?

Problem with song transferring

I am having a serious problem with my iPod. When I try to transfer songs onto it, after about 20 songs, the transfer process will begin to slow down dramatically by pausing on several random songs. Eventually, if the amount of music i'm trying to transfer is large enough, the transfer process, and iTunes, will freeze, and when I eject my iPod no songs seem to have transfered and the iPod is empty. If only transfer 20 or 30 songs onto it I have no problem listenening to them, it is only when a certain amount of songs are on it (or being transferred to it, I'm not sure.) The iPod is a replacement for a broken one, and it has only suffered on drop, although it was semi-hard. If anyone has any advice please let me know, I've tried everything I can think of.

you could try to manually load everything. It would still take a long time. but if you do it in like album batches it might make it through.
good luck
