Selecting Multiple Sonds takes forever

If I select multiple songs in iTunes 9, it takes forever? I turned of the Genius stuff and it still does this. Any ideas, workarounds?

So I need to manage my music this way.
You don't need to do it this way.
To me, checking and unchecking items to sync to the iPod is tedious.
Using playlists is much easier to manage what goes onto your iPod.
Try creating playlist(s) and syncing only those playlists.
Select the iPod in iTunes. Click the Music tab.
Tick Sync music and Selected playlists.
Tick the playlists you want on the iPod.
Then just Add/Delete from those playlists and plug in the iPod.
The only time I uncheck things is for items I never or rarely want on the iPod such as old audiobooks and Christmas music.

  • Query takes forever to execute

    This query executes forever:
    select count(*)
    from VIEW_DOCUMENT
    where exists
    select VIEW_DOCUMENT_ITEM.documentID
    from VIEW_DOCUMENT_ITEM
    where VIEW_DOCUMENT_ITEM.documentID=VIEW_DOCUMENT.documentID
    Here's what's inside VIEW_DOCUMENT_ITEM:
    select *
    from DOCUMENT_ITEM
    join VIEW_USER
    If I replace "join VIEW_USER" with "join USER" the query executes normally in few seconds!
    This makes no sense because here's what's in VIEW_USER:
    select * from USER
    Does anybody know what are possible causes for this strange behaviour?

    Actually my query is much more complex, this is simplified version.
    In original query it's 100% not cartesian join.
    Result of my query is 2710 and result of Sven's query is 2711.
    My question is only why does joining a table work normally and why does joining a view "select * from table" take forever.
    I can't see execution plan because my query never ends. I have to kill the Linux process.

  • To "control/select" a group of emails and delete takes forever

    when using 'select/control' to group a number of emails for deletion it takes forever to select (7-8 seconds) and to delete takes just as much time. It makes cleaning up email data very troublesome. I have to go to my provider, Windstream, and delete email on their platform.

  • In Flash CS4, how do you select multiple anchor points across separate layers?

    I am talking about anchor points on a line, not a keyframe. They are also called "handles". I can select the anchor points as "white" quickly, but I can't get them to be "solid"without doing it layer by layer, which is tedious. What I want is way to select lines that are in different layers and get the points I selected in a way similar to the regular selection tool or free transform tool. I have been trying to do this all day and I can't find a good way to do this, and I would appreciate any help.
    Here is an image of what I'm trying to do, but more easily. The lines are on separate layers, but when I select them with the subselection tool I have to go layer by layer selecting the points. I'm trying to look for a very quick way of doing it. When I do select all with the subselection tool on, the anchor points are only "white" and not "solid" as shown below.

    Now you're post was a while ago and I still need a solution, but I have to say this. I didn't mean to be rude to you; it’s just that it doesn’t answer my question I specified in the original post. I know your intentions are good, but it frustrates me when someone doesn’t fully read a post and offers a solution, it sometimes gives a false impression that the problem is taken care of. Example of being "helpful": http://forums.adobe.com/message/2540277    Yes I know there is a “Yes, my question has been answered,” but you know they don’t always select it, and other people know that as well. But you are right; I should probably act a little bit nicer and reiterate what I’ve already said before, I’ll probably get more help from it. It just seems to be a simple feature that seems to be needed to be in the program. I didn't mean it takes forever to move, it takes forever to select multiple anchor points across, let's say 10 layers, so that's 10 different lines on 10 layers. You have to select each layer and then select the anchor points. If there is an away to select anchor points across all layers in one go please tell me. Maybe I was wrong, but I could’ve sworn I’ve seen ideas that were posted on here get taken into Adobe as a suggestion, but yes I submitted it as a suggestion to Adobe, but I wanted to confirm that there was no way of doing it first since it seems kind unbelievable because the regular selection tool works across multiple layers.

  • How to select multiple clips???

    I am a very avid iMovie user and now this new version has me so confused. I have the basics down, but I can't figure out how to select all clips and dump them into the "timeline" area. I can select them one at a time and place them in the assembly area but that takes forever on a one hour soccer game. Anyone figure out how to select multiple clips or all clips at once?
    Thanks ahead of time.

    Weird seeing this question today after I dealt with this yesterday. I did a movie yesterday that was multiple clips. I was able to select all clips at once and drag the entire thing up to the top window. I just tried to do the same thing again after reading this question and for the life of me, it will no longer allow me to click and drag to select them all. I wonder if this has something to do with the fact that all 10 or so clips I was able to highlight before, were all parts of the same clip when filmed (they were split into individual segments when imported). When I try to combine two clips that are not filmed sequentially, it will no longer allow it. The help menu says nothing about this. All it says is you need to click on the first clip and hold the mouse down and drag it to the end and it will select all. That is not working.

  • TS3274 I have thousands of email messages in my ipad mailbox that I can't delete en masse. I can delete a few at a time, but this would take forever???

    I have thousands of email messages in my ipad mailbox that I can't delete en masse. I can delete a few at a time, but this would take forever???

    Contact htem? No, I wouldn't think so, I'm not familier with fuse.net. Most ISPs adn email providers have web pages that can be used to acces your account settings and email. That may provide a means of selecting multiple emails and deleting them (but probably not 22,000 at a time).

  • How do I select multiple songs and uncheck them from compilations (itunes 10.5.2)

    So I found to my annoinance that itunes has recently moved much of my music to compilations that shouldn't be there. I tried searching online for how to turn compilations off or select multiple songs and uncheck them from compilations all at once and although I found both answers, they must have only worked for older versions of itunes. I no longer can find the option to turn off compilations under preferences and when I try to select multiple songs at a time then press "Get Info" the "part of a compilation" checkmark is not there. It is only there when one song is highlighted. This is very frustrated. In fact I would venture to say I've never been so angry with Apple. There are 609 songs "stuck" in my freaking compilations! I don't have time nor should I have to take the time to go through every single song right clicking it, pressing "Get info", unchecking "part of compilation" then clicking ok. WAY TOO MUCH TIME! If anyone has any good news on a faster way to do this I'd be VERY THANKFUL!

    This was a life saver! I even started to manually tick the box as well!

  • File encoded with x264 takes forever to load in Encore CS 5.5

    I use Encore mostly because it takes h.264 video encoded with the x264 compressor, which provides much higher quality than any other compressor. The problem is that these files take forever to load. For example, right now I'm trying to load a video that is about 1 hour and 20 minutes long, encoded at 38 Mbps, and the file is 20.9 GBytes. Now it's 3 PM and I imported this file along with the AC3 file over an hour ago. The Encore process shows as not responding, but when I open the Windows 7 Resource Monitor, in the disk tab it shows that it's reading the video file at a rate of about 45 MB/s, so I didn't kill the Encore process. I know eventually it's going to stop and load the file, but I don't understand why it takes so long. The encoding parameters that I used in x264 are these:
    x264 --level 4.1 --bluray-compat --preset slow --bitrate 38000 --keyint 30 --min-keyint 2 --open-gop --weightp 0 --slices 4 --vbv-bufsize 30000 --vbv-maxrate 40000 --rc-lookahead 40 --tff --output "output" "input"
    This comes from a family video that is 1080 59.94i. This time these two parameters appeared because I selected Blu-ray as the target:  --bluray-compat and --open-gop, which I don't normally use, but still, even when I don't use them, video encoded with x264 takes forever to load. Does anybody here know what could be the problem?

    What's weird is last year I encoded a file that was almost two hours long and Encore took it without trouble, although it was CS5, not 5.5. Since I had kept the avs and bat files, and also the x264.exe from that encode, I brought them into the current working folder and I just modified the file names in the avs and bat files to point to the new avi and encode to the new h264 file. So I encoded this file, I imported it into Encore, and it still hangs. Maybe it was a change from CS5 to 5.1 that introduced a problem. x264 has been certified to be Blu-ray compliant since over a year ago, and I already put this file to a Blu-ray with TSMuxer, since it was a family video and I didn't really need menus, and it plays perfectly fine in my Blu-ray player.
    But I'm sure there must be something, one or two parameters that would make it compatible. For example, after encoding the file again the last time, now I can import it into Encore, and it doesn't stay frozen forever, but it doesn't show me the video and as soon as I try to move the timeline cursor it freezes and doesn't let me do anything for several minutes. So still it's not usable. But it's a change from the first encode where the progress dialog would be there for several hours and do nothing at all.

  • HT5517 Is there a way to select multiple speakers from my ATV3?

    I have ATV3, an iPad2, a Sony Vaio laptop and another audio system connected to my WiFi network via an Airport Express.
    Via ATV I can only select one speaker / output at a time (i.e. EITHER Airport Express OR ATV).  When I have a party in the house (for example) I'd like to be able to select both to play the same music.
    I know you I can select multiple speakers if I fire up the laptop and run iTunes (I then actually use the "Remote" app on the iPad, select my music library as the source and I can select mulitple speakers) but it doesn't seem possible with just ATV.  Why not?  I can see both outputs on ATV, I just want the option to be able to select both.
    If my wife takes the laptop with her somewhere, I can't listen to my music throughout the whole house.
    Seems a pretty big oversight - surely it'd be dead easy for Apple to do?

    I beleive multi speaker output is strictly a function of iTunes. ATV1 was the hobby or beta environment and was a mix of OSX 10.4 (iTunes) and their developement of iOS. The multi speaker out was not a part of the further or current developement of iOS.
    Still have an original atv out in the studio serving up music to the rest of the house... including the new appleTV2 in the living room          

  • Is there a way to select multiple files and initiate the Capitalize function?

    I have hundreds of files all in upper case that are driving me crazy. I can select them one at a time, right click and then select Transformations/Capitalize. Is there a way to select multiple files and initiate the Capitalize function?

    You could use Automator to do this - take a look at the article at http://www.wikihow.com/Batch-Rename-Files-in-Mac-OS-X-Using-Automator to see how this might be done.

  • Adobe Premiere CC Crashes When Selecting Multiple Clips

    This project was already derailed by multicam, now that I've got my assembly edit ready to go, I've discovered a new show-stopper:  Premiere Pro CC crashes when I select multiple clips on the timeline.  I can't select more than 3 clips at a time, or the entire program comes crashing to it's knees.  Anyone else experiencing something like this?  Can anyone else reproduce this behavior? 
    Here's a video of the experience:
    http://youtu.be/DPOUinOSzDE
    Any word on an update?
    ASUS G75VX
    Windows 7 Pro, 64-bit
    GTX 670MX, 3GB GDDR5
    16GB RAM

    Progress.  I've been able to isolate the problem.  On my timeline I have some "regular" clips and some "merged" clips.  Regular clips are from either source: a Canon 7D (MP4 / MOV) or a Canon VIXIA HF G20 (AVCHD).  The Merged clips are only from the Canon 7D only (for video) and an audio recorder (MP3 at 320kbps).  The 7D footage is 1080/24p.  The VIXIA also shoots in 24p.
    Since "Merge Clips" sync on audio is not working for me, I've employed my former CS6 workflow:
    1. Sync all of the video and audio clips through PluralEyes 3 resulting in a preliminary sequence, "Clips_to_be_merged_sequence".
    2. I work my way through each of the clips, adjusting the audio track(s) for variances in drift between the on camera sound and the audio recorder.  I do this enabling "Audio Time Units", rather than video frames, so I can get extremely acurate.
    3. When I have a timeline full of nicely syncronized audio/video pairs, I merge clips, one painstaking clip at a time (of course I set up a keyboard shortcut for this).  For the merge, I "sync on In points".
    4. The merged clip is added to my project panel.
    5. Now, when it comes time to choose my sound bite selects, I load the merged clip into the Source panel and mark my Ins and Outs. 
    6. Time to create a subclip, of course with the new SOFT handles. (I'VE BEEN WANTING SOFT HANDLES FOR A LONG TIME!!!)
    7. The subclip appears to be properly created and placed into the Project panel.  It even shows the correct duration (i.e. 14 seconds)
    8.  When I drag that subclip onto the timeline it drags the entire length of the parent clip, without in or out points (not just the 14 second subclip).
    9.  I undo and decide to go back through the original clips again; mark ins and outs and simply drop to the timeline (either Insert or Overwrite).
    So in the end, I'm using sections of the Merged clip, but I'm not using Subclips of the Merged clips (because that doesn't work).
    Now, what's happening, though I didn't know it when I recorded the video above, is that Premiere is crashing any time I select both "regular" footage and "merged" footage.
    So, two bugs here:
    1. Can't use Subclips that are derived from Merged clips in ANY timeline.  Once dragged to the timeline it expands to the full duration of the original clip.
    2. Can't select both "regular" and "merged" clips at the same time on the timeline.
    JStrawn (staff) was kind enough to offer to take a look at some small sample files.  But my interview clips are very long, and I'm concerned that if I export them, to make them shorter, they may not actually exibit the problems I'm having on the original clips.
    Anyone else using this type of "Merge Clip" workflow that could reproduce either the subclip-from-merged-clip bug or the mixed-selection crash given the steps above?

  • With a wired keyboard and a 2014 iMac I cannot select multiple items which are not next to each other

    I have recently changed from Windows 7 desktop to a new iMac running Mavericks.  I have chosen a wired keyboard as I like  the usual Delete key function.
    I cannot find out how to select several items which are not next to each other (e.g. words in Pages).  The well known method in Windows, which is repeated in the the Apple Finder Help screen, does not work.  Would be grateful for advice

  • Photo Albums Take FOREVER to View in iWeb and Internet

    I have been waiting for the past 10 minutes for iWeb to bring up my family photo album for me to add photos.
    This has been getting worse and worse as I post more family albums to our site.
    It is now 15 minutes since I tried to open-edit-add an album to our family photo page
    I could use Dreamweaver and not any issues...iWeb takes FOREVER!
    Anyone know why?
    after 20 minutes finally got my iWeb page to add and edit..

    I checked the albums page and it has 171 files it needs to load. Most of them are the frame elements around each album photo. It took about 13 seconds for that page to load for me. So, as it has already been pointed out by Roddy and ls1z28chris, it's a combination of the page too large and the connection speed slow.

  • Snow Leopard Latest Version - Disk Utility TAKES FOREVER to Backup Disk

    Hi,
    it is pretty much as the header describes.
    I have chosen, New Image from Folder... in DU.
    Then I select my boot drive which I want to Backup.
    It has been 45 minutes and DU has copied 13 GB increasingly. And is still going at it.
    I have 500GB on that drive and this way it would take forever.
    Now, if I enter the terminal and do a ditto it will copy about 10GB per minute.
    Any ideas why DU is soooooooo SLOW.

    DU isn't slow, however, you are trying to backup into a disk image which is slow. If you simply use the Restore option of DU to backup, then it will go faster. You should not do a backup into a disk image. It's unnecessarily slow especially if you opted to encrypt the image. DU's Restore option will put a bootable clone onto the backup drive.
    Clone using Restore Option of Disk Utility
    1. Open Disk Utility from the Utilities folder.
    2. Select the destination volume from the left side list.
    3. Click on the Restore tab in the DU main window.
    4.Check the box labeled Erase destination.
    5. Select the destination volume from the left side list and drag it to the Destination entry field.
    6. Select the source volume from the left side list and drag it to the Source entry field.
    7. Double-check you got it right, then click on the Restore button.
    Destination means the backup drive.
    Source means the internal startup drive.

  • Unable to select multiple messages in Mail.

    Hi,
    I can't select multiple messages in Mail app. After selecting few, all of them automatically deselects. This is really annoying. I'm on 6.1.2 iP5, and this is happening from the begining. Never happened before on my iP4. The other problem with mail app is that it keeps opening my "first on the account list" e-mail account, and please don't tell me that this is normal since it never happened before. Sometimes when I try to open a random account I see a black screen
    see an image below.
    Please help me as this is driving me crazy.

    to select all messages in the current mailbox you enter command+A. then use "apply rules" from the Message menu. you can also do it with just a few selected messages. select them, control-click on the selected messages and choose "apply rules".
    Interesting interpretation of the OP's request.
    I read the request as wanting to take one action that applied to many messages, rather than apply one rule many times.
    For example, consider a rule that forwards the message to some other address. Selecting all messages and running the rule will generate multiple new messages - one per selected item.
    that was my understanding of what the OP wanted. perhaps I'm wrong. let's wait for the OP to respond and clarify what he/she really wants.
    Conversely, and how I interpreted the request, an AppleScript could collate all the selected messages and combine them into one new message - essentially running the 'forward' on many items at once.
    I'll be interesting to see the OP's response to see which matches his requirements.
