Rename shot/track?

Hello,
I've exported my entire FCP Sequence and imported it into Color, where it shows up as just one long shot.
I'm using Color only to apply certain nodes, with keyframes, in the Color FX room.
Sometimes I go back into FCP and change filter settings there (but I never change the duration of the Sequence), then export again, saving the export with a different name than before. I delete the old export.
Of course, when I open my Color project again, Color can't find the old FCP export (since I deleted it). So, I reconnect to the new FCP export, which works fine. But the name of the shot/track in Color stays the same as it was before.
Is there some way to change the name of the shot/track in Color? I'd like to change it to the same name as the new FCP export.
Or perhaps there's some other way to accomplish this? By the way, I created a new project, imported the new FCP export, then chose Import > Color Corrections from the original project file, and although my Color FX node set-up was imported, none of the keyframes in the CFX bar were imported.
Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks.

In a lot of ways, it would be much simpler for you to bring the rendered QT back into a new FCP sequence... cut it up with the razor tool (if you would like to pre-set the COLOR event boundaries) and send THAT to COLOR. All that other stuff would be taken care of.
How would dealing with multiple shots in Color be simpler than dealing with just one shot? I can't think of anything simpler than applying one particular plugin in the Color FX room to one particular shot.
Not to mention that cutting up my FCP Sequence would disrupt the operation of the timecode filter applied therein, and applying it before exporting and bringing the result into Color would mean that my timecode display would get processed by Color, which would screw up its look.
Moreover, even if I use FCP to "Send To Color", I'll still end up with tracks/shots in Color whose names can't be changed.
The only real issue that I have a problem with is that unfortunately, I chose a name for the track/shot in Color that suggests that I'm always dealing with a particular QT export from FCP. I just want to change the name to something generic, such as "FCP Export".
What about editing some Color preferences or settings file, which perhaps contains the name of my track/shot?
Thanks.

Tried to rename some tracks in a playlist and it renamed EVERYTHING IN MY MASSIVE LIBRARY!! Now all my ID3 tags are wrong! THOUSANDS OF THEM!

Had some home-made music I wanted to bring into my library which had no Meta info, so in the past I'd create a playlist so I can easily find the new additions amid my 25,000 songs, and give them proper meta info. Tried this today with latest iTunes and when I renamed one track, it applied those changes to my whole library before I realized what was happening and stopped it. Now I have 8000 tracks that all think they're on an album called "Acoustic Glory". Go ahead and try to replicate this, I dare you. It's a tried-and-true BUG! Now I'm screwed. What am I gonna manually adjust the meta on 8000 tracks? Fat chance. I tried some 3rd party apps that pull from the internet but they never work. Thanks a lot iTunes 11, for ruining my music life. Would love to get some easy fix suggestion from an apple expert.

This "original file cannot be found" thing happens if the file is no longer where iTunes expects to find it. Possible causes are that you or some third party tool has moved, renamed or deleted the file, or that the drive it lives on has had a change of drive letter. It is also possible that iTunes has changed from expecting the files to be in the pre-iTunes 9 layout to post-iTunes 9 layout,or vice-versa, and so is looking in slightly the wrong place.
Select a track with an exclamation mark, use Ctrl-I to get info, then cancel when asked to try to locate the track. Look on the summary tab for the location that iTunes thinks the file should be. Now take a look around your hard drive(s). Hopefully you can locate the track in question. If a section of your library has simply been moved, or a drive letter has changed, it should be possible to reverse the actions.
Alternatively, as long as you can find a location holding the missing files, then you should be able to use my FindTracks script to reconnect them to iTunes .

PGA Tour Shot Tracker will not display for the full field. It appears momentarily and then goes all black. I've disabled FlashBlock, AdBlock, and still no help. It (Shot Tracker) will work for groups and individual players, however.

PGA Shot Tracker

PGA Shot Tracker no longer works in Safari. Since upgrading to Safari 5 Shot Tracker no longer works, but it works fine in Firefox. Can't figure out why this is so.

Hi,
Go to your Safari menu bar, click Safari / Empty Cache.
Relaunch Safari and try again.
If that didn't help, from the Safari menu bar click Safari / Preferences then select the Security tab.
Click: Show Cookies. Click: Remove All.
Relaunch Safari and try again.
If that didn't help, in Safari / Preferences select the Advanced tab. Enable the Develop menu. Now from your Safari menu bar click Develop / User Agent and try Safari 4.0.5
If nothing above works, due to recent history with your Mac here: http://discussions.apple.com/message.jspa?messageID=12095507#12095507
Boot from your install disc, run Disk Utility to Verify and if necessary, Repair any errors on the startup disk.

I can't name/rename folder tracks

This is just a quickie — I can't seem to name/rename folder tracks as I can instrument, bus, aux etc. tracks by clicking on its name in the respective Object boxes. This doesn't seem to be set-up specific as the same problem occurs on both my PowerBook and my MacBook. Is this a known bug? Is there a work around?
Note that I have aaaaaaaaaall the updates.
Thanks fellahs

Hello d. reamonn
You can name/rename folders exactly like you can tracks.
There are two possibilities: Hold down OPTION key and click on the word Folder. A box will appear and you type in the name you want.
Or for a second naming of the folder do the same operation with COMMAND and click

Renaming streamed tracks

when i open certain vbr.m3u streams, itunes will rename one track and not the others, placing it out of order and making it very difficult and frustrating to try to keep organized-is this an itunes issue or one with the website (archive.org)-any suggestions as to how i can fix this?
thank you

You can in fact get the track names after the fact if you have imported them with iTunes. Highlight all tracks in the same cd go to advanced>get cd/track? information - oh and make sure you are on line!!
The way Gracenotes works is to compare the number of tracks and track lenghths in thier correct order to its database to come up with the CD information - that is why sometimes you will be presented with 2 or more options for the CD info

Renaming of tracks = color wheel. Any ideas?

Hello everyone,
I recently transfered my entire song to another file via the methods explained in this thread: http://discussions.apple.com/message.jspa?messageID=3483707#3483707
Now, in this new song, renaming tracks using "option-double click" causes the "spinning color wheel" to occur. After about a min the color wheel disappears and I'm able to rename the track, but this has me worried as there is NO WAY my system should be choking on renaming tracks!
I have ran onyx and repaired the disk permissions before I made this song transfer, and everything seemed to be working fine for the past few days. Only today did I decide to rename my tracks for temp mixing purposes and noticed this problem.
What is going on? Should I be concerned?

What version of iPhoto? Assuming 09 or later:
Option 1
Back Up and try rebuild the library: hold down the command and option (or alt) keys while launching iPhoto. Use the resulting dialogue to rebuild. Choose to Rebuild iPhoto Library Database from automatic backup.
If that fails:
Option 2
Download iPhoto Library Manager and use its rebuild function. This will create a new library based on data in the albumdata.xml file. Not everything will be brought over - no slideshows, books or calendars, for instance - but it should get all your albums and keywords back.
Because this process creates an entirely new library and leaves your old one untouched, it is non-destructive, and if you're not happy with the results you can simply return to your old one. .

Rename CD Tracks?

Can I manually rename the tracks of a CD that lists only Track numbers? The CD I am importing to iTunes is converted from home recorded audio cassettes.

Hi appleseeker2,
Thanks for using Apple Support Communities. You can rename tracks and add other information to songs you've imported into iTunes by following this article:

Can i rename a traCK

I know i know
but im only just go gettin the swing of GB. Is it possible to name each track.
Code

poflynn wrote:
But after you name it you can not use any of the pre-set effects in the Track Info Pane or it will re-name it to that effect.
An annoying idiosyncrasy, IMO. If someone goes to the effort to rename a track, GB should have the good manners to leave it alone... at least on real audio tracks where a renamed track is likely to be more meaningful than the name of an effect.
Of course, if someone wanted to change an effect, they shouldn't not do that because of the name thing - they can always change the effect and rename the track back to whatever they want. But still!

I just transferred music from a desktop to a laptop to put on itunes. After this exhausting process of renaming and renaming unnamed tracks, when I play one on itunes the song title disappears and though the song plays, I have to rewrite name of song.

I just transferred music from a desktop to a laptop to put on itunes. After this exhausting process of renaming and renaming unnamed tracks (b/c itunes made me rename them even after I rewrote the names in the music folder of my computer even though I hadn't put the songs onto itunes beforehand when the tracks were unnamed), when I play one on itunes the song title disappears and though the song plays, I have to AGAIN rewrite the name of the song. Is there an actually answer out there???!

i guess you are referring to iTunes Match. It sounds as though you haven't downloaded all the content and are trying to play your music over a poor connection.

Problem Renaming iTunes Tracks

I'd pull my hair out if I had more of it. Periodically, when renaming a track in iTunes the name reverts right before my eyes, when I play the track right after renaming it!
My process:
1. I find the track to rename
2. I select Get Info for the track
3. I select the field "Name"
4. I edit the track name
5. I press "OK"
6. I go to play the song and the old track name reappears instead of the one I just entered!
I've even tried renaming the track in the Finder, so that the edit of the name is now in both the Finder and iTunes, and still iTunes reverts it back to the old name.
Important to Note: This is not a usual occurrence, but happens enough to push me to the edge ... ;<)

It now sounds like the files have tags. Some file formats (mentioned before) do not accept tags, and I think some that do may not have tags until they are created. At least, in my old version of iTunes there is a "create ID3 tags" feature under Advanced and it creates several different versions as well as "none".
iTunes works this way. You add a file; it reads the tag data (if any) and uses that to fill in entries for that data in its own database (Library.itl), so there's some redundancy here. If you edit the tag, iTunes changes the information in the database and re-writes the file with the new tag data. If you use a third party editor to change a tag in a file, it will not change in iTunes until you play or activate reading the file, at which time iTunes compares the file tags to its own database and if they differ it updates its database to match the file tags. For some reason when you are now changing a tag in iTunes it seems it is not re-writing the file. It is changing the data in its own database, but when you play the file it is comparing the datasets, seeing the file has different, and changing it all back again. I don't know why. I have seen this happen before and reverted to using a third party editor (MP3Rage) to change the tags on the file. Tagging protocol isn't cast in stone. It is possible your dBpoweramp is playing by slightly different tagging rules than iTunes, and iTunes cannot edit the tags in those files but it can still read them.
Things to try:
If the new iTunes still has the create tags feature see if creating the tags will let them be edited.
Use a third party editor.

Can't Rename video tracks in Bootcamp

Hi,
I'm using Adobe Premiere Pro CS4 on my Macbook Pro on the Windows 7 bootcamped partition. I try to rename my video tracks by right clicking (or control clicking for that matter) but all that happens is they become highlighted or unhighlighted (or nothing if the track is locked). My right click works for other applications as well as other parts of Premiere (renaming the sequence, etc) but not the video tracks. How can I fix this?

Make sure that you are Rt-clicking ON the Track Name in the Track Header. Otherwise, you will just Target the Track. Depending on your screen rez, you might have to be very exact with cursor placement. It can be rather like finding the vertical zoom handles, between Tracks - a pixel hunt!
[Edit] Just tried this in PrPro 2.0 (obviously on a PC), and the cursor position was not anywhere near as critical, as I suspected. Anywhere in the Header got me the Rename option. Guess that I always did it right on the Track Name, and made an incorrect assumption. Sorry for that.
I've not heard of Bootcamp loosing the Renaming capabilities, but have to admit to being a PC-only guy.
Good luck,
Hunt

How to name or rename iTunes tracks.

Hi. I have put a cd into iTunes. The names of the tracks are are shown as Track1, Track 2, etc. This seems to be normal, as the cd was given to me by my son who burned it with songs he liked. I now want to put names on each track. I can't find instructions on how to put in names. I would appreciate it if someone woulde tell me how to do this, or tell me where to find the information
thanks
Mike

right click the file, select "get info" click the info tab, and you can edit all the information about the song.
see attached pic. also sometimes if you click just once on the file it lets me rename it (if i click towards the beginning of the file name)
