Sorting files by file name rather than ID Tags

Some of my files have incomplete or missing ID Tags ( a lot of mp3's from vinyl) making sorting more difficult and I typically find it more usefull to sort by file name rather than ID Tag anyway. Does anyone know how to sort by file name?

Aloha!
While this is not possible in iTunes right now, I might be able to help.
It sounds like you've taken care to ensure that your music is properly labeled. That should make it easy to use a third party app to tag the lot as a batch. I am aware of one application that folks around here seem to like called "Tag & Rename" that can build a set of tags for you from folder and file names. I believe it has (or had) a free demo period as well. Try a google search or check out sites like versiontracker and you will find several apps that can do the task for you.
Once done, iTunes will be able to handle the collection that has apparently been with you for some time. Hope this helps you decide on a course of action.

Glad you got it working! Incidentally, if you have a relatively new Apple mouse (Magic Mouse or Mighty Mouse should work), you should be able to enable right-click, if you'd like it, by going to System Preferences - Mouse - and turning on "Secondary click". Third-party mice, like Logitech or Microsoft, should have right-click automatically.

Is it possible to have cs5 Bridge open cs4 ai files actually in cs4 rather than opening them in cs5

I recently upgraded from mac cs4 to cs5.5. Due to a bug? with cs5 ai illustrator 'Pixel Preview' won't show 1 bit tiff files as it did in cs4 (the workaround is time consuming/wasting). This is a problem for me as most of my files contain them, GGrrrr. Is it possible to have cs5 Bridge open cs4 ai files actually in cs4 rather than opening them in cs5?

Is it possible to have cs5 Bridge open cs4 ai files actually in cs4 rather than opening them in cs5?
Yes, either set the file type association in Bridge prefs for 'ai' at CS4. But it seems somewhat difficult when having newer versions, sometimes whatever pref settings in Bridge or Finder/get info/ open with/you try it keeps opening in the latest version.
In that case either drag and drop the files on the CS4 icon in the dock or with right click mouse menu choose open with and select illustrator CS4.
Although you can only have one version of Bridge open at the time you can have the other suite applications from different version open at the same time.

Why my Firefox v6.02 browser always open *.csv (comma delimited) file in another tab rather than downloading a file? I do not have right click option to save this file.

My Firefox v6.02 browser always open *.csv (comma delimited) file in another tab rather than downloading a file? I do not have right click option to save this file. My OP is windows XP sp2.

Hi mha007,
Go to this site "http://www.nseindia.com/content/indices/ind_histvalues.htm"
Select any Index type and from dates select just one day or any number of days. Click "Get Details" button. This will open tabular data on loaded page (with link CSV file link at bottom).
When I click this link, it opens CSV file in new tab (in Firefox browser) and does not open download window (just as in case of other file formats like *.zip, *.rar or *.xls).
Right-click of link does not give "save as" or "save file" option.
Firefox is my preferred and default browser.
========
surprisingly, When I do same thing in IE6 browser, data-table page shows 2 options below table, i.e. (1) download file (2) open file.

Is there a way to sort pdf by date created rather than by date added?

In iBooks in Mavericks, is there a way to sort pdf by date created rather than by date added?

I noticed that the "Year" information and "Release Date" information are usually wrong.
For example, the song "The Twist" by Chubby Checker has 2007 for the year and 3/5/2007 as the release date. I understand that this is the release date of the greatest hits compilation album, but not the song.
Is there any way to change the dates so that I can sort by year? I would like 60s songs to appear with a 1960s year or release date.

Change Dimension Attribute to group by name rather than key

Hi
I am taking over a cube which has been built for speed rather than functionality. For example if you bring one dimension in and a measure you would get a result like this.
? 200
Mancheste 400
Manchester 200
? 100
Derby 5
when really it should look like this
? 300
Mancheste 600
Derby 5
I believe this can be changed in the dimension attributes group it on name rather than key (although you get slower performance) but I can't find where about I change this

hi,
If you in BIDS, select the attribute you want to change and look at properties.
Under the properties group Source, you have the definition for KeyColumn and NameColumn.
My understanding is that you would want a keycolumn which is on the same level as your name column.
I e change the key column to a better one.
(Optionally, but not as good, you could set the KeyColumn to the same column as your name column)
best wishes /Carl
thanks I would mark this as the answer but it won't let me for some strange reason.

ICloud has sorted my Contacts in Outlook by the Persons name rather than the entry in the "File As" box.

Is there a sort setting that I am missing?

OK,
Using the save as drop-down box I saved the file as the name then when I saved the file as the "Company Name, Person Name" the contact was re-sorted using the company name. But, what a pain in the a$$.

When you reach a million points Apple sends you an email that explains the meaning of life.

As you gain points by giving people good answers the number of coloured bars under your user name increases. In theory, this lets others know how much knowledge you have on the subject and therefore how much they can depend on your replies.

Default large Excel file to client application rather than prompting for PowerBI

I have a user working with OneDrive for Business to share a 13MB Excel file that contains PowerPivot data. When a user clicks the shared link or the guest link they receive this message:
We cannot determine a way to open this file in the Excel client. Naturally we would like to default this file to open in the client rather than throw an error and a "free trial" option.
Why is there no button for "open with client application?"

Has anyone else experienced this?

How can I file at last location rather than location of current file?

I have Abobe Reader X. In the old Adobe, when I saved a file, it took me to the last folder I was in, not the location of the current file. Thus far, I have not been able to find out how to get Adobe Reader X to do this. I even asked work help desk for help and their solution to unclick 'Automatically save document changes to temp file' worked once.
Is it possible? This is what I want.
Example:
I open file that is saved at Y:Scanned Files and save it at
X:Dogs/Breeds/Hounds/Sighthounds/Basenjis. I open the next file that is at Y:Scanned Files and click on File:Save As/PDF and window opens to save at Y:Scanned Files rather than at X:Dogs/Breeds/Hounds/Sighthounds/Basenjis, where I just was. I want to save file at X:Dogs/Breeds/Hounds/Sighthounds/Afghans so instead of just one click, I now have to go through six. Now imagine you have 30 or 40 documents you have to save. That's minimum 180 clicks versus 30. A big difference. And if you multiply it further by daily and weekly, it's a lot.
How can I get Adobe Reader X to open the 'save as' window at the last location rather than the current file's address? I also have Adobe Acrobat, but can't figure out how to get it work in that either.
I do not like Adobe Reader X. Unfortunately, it got downloaded automatically at work.
Another complaint I have is when I have Adobe Acrobat open and I click on a pdf to open, rather than open in Adobe Acrobat, it opens in Adobe Reader X (which was not the case with the previous Reader). If I want to open a doc in Acrobat, I have to go to Acrobat and File/Open, which is a pain.
Another complaint is, why do you have 'save as' and then 'pdf' or 'text'? This is another time consuming click I have to make. Add it to the 180 I'm already making above and you can see why I'm extremely unhappy and frustated with this version of Adobe.
Please let me know if the above is feasible or not and if it is, how to do it. If it isn't feasible, please make the above adjustments to Reader Y and put it out pronto. Thank you.

Preview copy on PDF files produces a raster rather than a vector

I used to open PDF files with Preview and copy stuff out of it, then paste it in Keynote (or anywhere else) and obtain vector graphics.
Since some time when I copy stuff out of a PDF file I get an image, rather than a vector graphics. This is evident when you try to rescale the image and looses quality, whereas the vector does not.
This seems to be something that has to do with Preview, since if I open the same PDF with Skim and I copy anything out of it I get a vector, that scales perfectly when I paste it in Keynote.
Any idea what is going on with Preview? (on 10.9.5)
Cheers,
Roberto

In Windows you can right-click the Acrobat icon in the task bar and select Close All Windows.

Does mail always insert the pdf file into the email rather than attachment

How can I set mail to always attach pdf files as attachments rather than insert into the mail message?

But if you receive an email with a PDF attachment - which appears as text embedded in the email rather than an attachment are you really saying that the only way to solve this is to resend the email to yourself so that it will then appear as a PDF attachment?

Firefox is forcing Acrobat file to be saved, rather than opening it. How can this be fixed?

When I visit a website that has a .pdf file on it and I try to download the file, rather than opening up to be read, Firefox asks where it should be saved. It does not directly open the file for viewing as it had done last week. Thanks for any advice to address this problem.

I finally found the right fix in the reset section of Check Firefox settings. I clicked on "Help" and clicked on "Troubleshooting Information". Under "Application Basics", I clicked on "Open Containing Folder". A window with my profile files opened. I selected the "mimetypes.rdf" file and deleted it. I then closed the Mozilla program, rebooted my computer and then reopened Mozilla Firefox. Voila - It returned "Use Adobe Acrobat (in Firefox)" in my settings. All is well.

How do I open an xlsx file from a website rather than downloading it?

When I try to open an .xlsx file from a website, it downloads and does not open. Before the last update, it would just open the file. How do I get it to open when I click on it rather than just download it?

Thanks for the suggestion. Unfortunately, that didn't work...it still just downloads it to the temp file and doesn't open. Any other ideas? It worked before the last update of Firefox.
