Song name won't display in grid view

I have long had a problem whereby the song-name column was missing when viewing a single album from the grid view. There is an archived, unanswered question on the very same question here: http://discussions.info.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=1818126
I have never as yet found a conclusive answer to this problem, and I've watched several new versions of the software come and go with no fix.
Well, for the benefit of those still suffering that problem, I'm here to tell you today that I have a conclusive fix!
For those impatient among you, just do this: http://bit.ly/gf8P0m.
For everyone else, let me tell you unequivocally that it's NOT (directly) a problem with the software. It basically seems to be down to library corruption of some sort. I know it sounds strange that an entire column could go missing due to data, but I have proven it as follows:
I created a new test account on my Mac, opened up iTunes and started to import my music from my main account. After a few albums had imported, I cancelled the import and looked at the library - fine. Then, I completely uninstalled iTunes from my main account and reinstalled a fresh copy. This did not solve the problem, but it proved that even with fresh software, the problem persisted and the previous test showed that the software was fine with a fresh user.
So, next I tried to rebuild my library, and that's what worked. Basically, you need to delete your itunes library xml file and the (compiled?) itunes library file (.itl) BUT DO NOT delete the iTunes Music Library.xml file... this is the key to it all...... you're gonna use that file to import the whole library as a playlist so you're not starting from scratch.
Here's the instructions from Apple: http://bit.ly/gf8P0m
Hope this helps anyone that's still stuck with this problem.

Thanks! I have long had this problem, but before I do this... am I going to lose any data from my music library (ratings, playlists, play counts, custom artwork, etc.) if I follow these steps carefully? I have a large library and it won't be worth having to re-enter/lose a bunch of things just to retrieve this column.

Image with foreign characters in name won't display

I have an image on my drive whose name has foreign characters ("c�pia de frente.jpg"). To display the image my JSP reads the image name from the database and generates the following html:
<img src="../pictures/c�pia de frente.jpg">The page then displays a broken image icon for this image. Images in the same list which do not have foreign chars get displayed accurately. When I choose "show image.." in my browser I see that the image name has been rewritten into the following: c%C3%B3pia%20de%20frente.jpg. The rewriting that will display the image is instead c%F3pia%20de%20frente.jpg. I found the correct rewriting on another of my JSP where the image with the foreign chars actually gets displayed correctly although the code to generate the html is the same on both pages and looks something like this (simplified):
<logic:iterate id="listelement" name="list" property="rows" scope="request" type="org.apache.commons.beanutils.DynaBean">
<%
out.write("<img src=\"../pictures/"+listelement.get("name").toString()+"\">");
                         %> <br>
                        </logic:iterate> Every image that doesn't have foreign chars in its name gets displayed accurately but images with foreign chars in their names won't display. What am I doing wrong?
Thanks
Niklas

Thanks, but it doesn't seem necessary to replace foreign characters. It works without replacing in one place but not in another which is confusing. I think it is something with the enconding but can't see what the difference is between the working and non-working code. In both pages I have put <meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=iso-8859-1">I'd greatly appreciate any more suggestions to solve this problem.

Icons no longer display in grid view in Yosemite

Hello,
All of a sudden, the icons in folders no longer display in Grid view, but only in the other kinds of view list etc.
Please, I need your help since that is the preferred method I use to display my icons
Here is a link to the screenshot of what I see for further reference:

DW8: image won't display in Design View

Folks:
DW8 on MacOS 10.4.8 (fully updated) on Intel iMac.
What would keep an image from displaying in DW Design View?
What are the causes of the grey box with the superimposed "X"? Is
there any diagnostic output that might help? Is the grey box and
"X" substituted by DW8 for an invalid or un-drawable graphic, or is
this done by the OS?
The problem:
I've got a 1912 x 1481 graphic, a geographic map, in AI that
I'm trying to use as an ordinary web image, but DW won't display it
in Design View. Instead all I see is a big grey box and "X". For
test purposes, I'm starting from a new "Basic" HTML web page and
all I'm doing is inserting this one image. I need to get this
working so I can draw hotspots on this graphic to make it
"clickable" .
Here's what I've tried:
o Triple-checking that the inserted image reference is
correct. Yes, the image file is correctly linked. With the image
selected, the inspector shows a tiny but recognizable miniature of
the expected image. Further, when the page and the image are
uploaded to the web server and I look at it via a browser, the
expected image is _always correctly displayed.
o Exporting the graphic "for the web" from AI as both a GIF
and a medium-quality JPG. Neither of these are displayed in Design
View; both are served up correctly after being uploaded
o I found a larger JPG on a different site I'm managing. This
always displays as expected in both DW Design View and when served
up. I substituted the failing map JPG image. The result: A grey
box.
o Checking the map images: The JPG and GIF versions seem to
be visible in all environments (image readers, browsers, etc.) I've
checked _except_ DW8 Design View.
o Checked on another system. I made the failing image
available to a very helpful ACE, who performed a similar
experiment. It worked fine for him. I used his exact HTML and
directory structure -- and it failed for me. Grey box with "X".
It seems to me that I've checked most of the obvious
possibilities. Now it is time to check the less obvious ones.
Suggestions are very welcome!
Thanks,
Henry

Randy:
Thanks for your response.
This is a virtual memory system, so -- in theory-- it should
accommodate anything that will fit on the hard drive, more or less,
if I'm wiling to wait the hours (days?) it will take to swap on and
off the disk. That assumes DW8 takes advantage of the capability.
It may not.
"Larger"? The JPG image I compared to is 1692 x 2160 pixels,
but weighs slightly less, 289K bytes. I'm losing track of all my
test images that fail, but a representative one is 1912 x 1481
pixels and weighs 332Kb on the disk. "Roughly comparable" might be
a better description. The point is still reasonable: DW8 does
handle images of this size on my system.
One issue that occurred to me recently is that I may have
caused some grief by monkeying with the "Save for web" settings at
the Illy export. Perhaps I asked for some configuration that's
normal for Illy to export --or it would have warned me, I hope--
but too strange for DW to grok. DW should complain more
informatively than painting a gray box and "X" when that happens, I
would think.

Contact name won't display

Incoming calls and messages with international prefix (e.g. +1) won't display the name of the contact. Those without a prefix do display. Can someone help me figure out why and how to fix it?

check that you dont have that number duplicated in your contacts list. Try deleting the contact and re-entering it. Remember if you solve the problem the messages that are already in the inbox wont change to show the name.

Album art sometimes doesn't display in grid view

The album art now displays erratically in grid view. If 10 albums are showing, maybe 4 will be missing art. All art seems to display properly in every other view. Is this a bug introduced in recent upgrades?

have the same problem. some artwork doesnt show up in "Albums" view but in all other views. curious to hear if somebody knows something.

ITunes song lists won't display, iTMS works fine

I'm not sure what I did, but when I open up iTunes (7.2) and click on Library or a playlist, it won't display the list of music. The iTunes store displays fine, and the music still plays (I have to cycle through it blindly), which makes me think the problem is with the rendering of the list or the program's reference to it being null. I'm not too sure. Interestingly enough, the search text box is disabled.
I've obviously rebooted the computer and tried to delete the old library XMLs and re-import, but neither of those helped. Suggestions would be great.

Reinstalled iTunes. Worked like a charm.

DW8 templates won't display in Live View

I have several sites that I've developed around templates
distributed with Dreamweaver 8. When I access these with
Dreamweaver CS4, everything works well in code and design view, but
java script and images don't seem to display correctly in Live
View. Live View seems to work fine with newly created pages in DW
CS4, but my existing sites will not display. Anybody run into this?
DW CS4 on a iMac (2 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo) running under
10.5.5.

relative to site root"

That will change future links, and template paths updated
later- but it
won't change existing paths.
http://e7x.com/dw/
relativity extension. works in current versions of dw AFAIK.
Note- if you set up a local testing server and use site root
relative paths,
you will need to set up a "virtual host name" in your
server's config file
and possibly the Hosts file of your OS so that you can use a
url of
http://mysite.local
instead of
http://localhost/mysite/
because site root relative won't work when the
site is in a subfolder, the way dw will write them.

Event won't display in Month View

I put in an event lasting x days and it will display happily in day and week views but not month. Any ideas anyone?
Thanks

Hi David,
The way this is implemented by iCal is a choice of the developer. You can send comments about iCal to Apple through this page http://www.apple.com/macosx/feedback/ .
Alternatively, you could make the events into all day events. They would then show on all the dates in month view.
Best wishes

Song titles won't display in itunes..

when i connect to the music store, the album will display but the song titles down below will not...? a little help...?

I've got the same problem. Both in Windows and on my iBook... Both are running iTunes 4.7.1. I talked to a friend of mine and she's running 5.0.1 with no problems.
I did try "add album" and it shows up in my shopping cart, but the items i had in there before are also invisible. (The add to the total cost, but aren't listed in the song list.) Even empty is says the total cost is near $16, but i can't click on Buy.
I'm guessing they've decided to force us to upgrade to 6...

Song Name Won't Appear

When I click on the song to play it, the name of the song doesn't appear. The time remaining doesn't appear either. All that appears is a black period in the middle of the screen...what is wrong??

The first thing I would try is to make sure that the song info is properly entered into the file. The file name is different from the info entered in the file format. Try right clicking the song in the library, and click get info. Then go to the info tab and check that the info is entered properly there. Then connect the ipod and let it update the file. Then, disconnect it and try to play the song. This is one idea. There might be other problems but this is one place to start.

Some fonts have wrong "internal names," won't display properly in font menu

Several fonts which I have acquired over the years have a peculiar but bothersome problem.
The fonts' "file names" in the Finder are perfectly fine, and the files are named what they're supposed to be named. And when the fonts are "installed," they work perfectly fine in all applications, as they are supposed to. But here's the problem: the fonts are mis-named in each application's "font menu." In my case, most of the font names (which are of the standard English alphabet and have standard English font titles) instead appear listed as a long string of Chinese characters.
As a random example, a font called "Holiday Ranch" made by FontDiner is not listed alphabetically between "Hoefler" and "Impact" in my font menus, where it ought to be, but instead is listed at the end of the font menu list, after "Zapfino," as a long string of Chinese characters. This wouldn't be such a problem if there were only one or two fonts misnamed this way, but when (as I do) you have 25 fonts at the bottom of your font list, all of which are long strings of incomprehensible characters, then it becomes a problem indeed.
The fonts come from a variety of sources, so it can't be a flaw in just one company's coding. I contacted (as per the example above) FontDiner, but so far they have no response. But for other mis-named fonts in my collection, I don't even know who designed them or where they came from, so I can't ask the designer for a solution.
Keep in mind that all of the fonts work perfectly fine, once I've tracked them down in the big morass of hard-to-find misnamed fonts at the bottom of my font menus. They work in all Apple applications like TextEdit, they work in Adobe products like Illustrator, they work in MSWord -- they work everywhere. The only issue is the naming.
Also, the file names are all correct. In the example above, the file name for "Holiday Ranch" is "Holiday Ranch.ttf". And when I inspect the font with Linotype's "FontExplorer X," it is listed properly as "Holiday Ranch." But here's the key: When I open the font file in Apple's "Font Book" (v.2.2.1), the name is indeed listed there as a long string of Chinese characters, and when I install it onto my computer using Font Book, it unfortunately uses that name.
I've tried downloading a wide variety of "font tool" programs, but none have been able to fix this problem.
I also tried (using FontExplorer X) "Cleaning system font caches" and "Cleaning application font caches" and restarting, but that had no effect whatsoever. I don't think it's an error on the part of OSX, I think that the fonts are simply misnamed internally, or that something went awry when the font designer converted the fonts from one format to another, or something like that.
I think the simplest solution would be to just re-name the fonts internally. But how? I can't find a way to do it. Even the optimistically-named freeware program "Font Renamer" did not change the internal names.
Has anyone else ever experienced this problem, and if so, how can it be fixed? Thanks.

As for free downloads to play with: unfortunately, the FontDiner ones are all commercial and thus not free...
They do have some free fonts. At the bottom of the first page (after the lead in page), click the "Free Silverware" link at the bottom. The fonts that come up on that page are all free.
I downloaded four of those fonts at random. All work as expected. That doesn't prove though that the Holiday Ranch font doesn't have something wrong with it.
Kurt, as I noted above, I already did empty all font cache files and restart. Unfortunately, that did not fix the problem.
Oops! Sorry, missed that.
So I think the problem is not that there's anything wrong with my OS, but rather that the person who made the font simply goofed when giving it a name!
It seems to point that way, but you're seeing the issue across fonts from different vendors. I would believe it's either the OS, or Font Book itself.
Your tagline shows you're running 10.6.4. Download and reinstall the 10.6.4 Combo updater. It's surprising how many problems go away when applying the combos.
