Star Ratings no longer seem to no longer affect iTunesDJ as much if at all

I have many star rated songs. And iTunesDJ doesn't seem to honor it at all any more. It plays even my zero rated songs. Seriously. This information should be made public. People spend a lot of time rating songs then you change the entire criteria.. ***...

  • Can Aperture recognize star ratings or keywords on import?

    I do all my initial sorting and culling of images outside Aperture (Photo Mechanic, which I highly recommend). I tag images with star ratings. I would like to import only those photos with a star rating above some threshold. Is there a way for Aperture to recognize those star ratings in the import dialog, such that I could filter the photos that I want to import? I would prefer to do that in place, rather than having to move or copy all those large RAW (NEF) files to another folder just for import into Aperture.  A related question would be whether Aperture could filter by keywords or other metadata that is already associated with an image?  Thanks, David.

    Just wanted to say that your understanding of Referenced and Managed now seems correct.  Managed Masters is a very good way to start with Aperture.  There is so much to learn, and a few tall conceptual hurdles to clear, that this administration decision can be safely postponed.  Aperture makes it easy to change any Image's Master from either status to the other.
    In the longer term, however, Referenced Masters are often a better set-up -- and become necessary for large Libraries.
    Note that there is no reason not to have a mix.  "Managed" and "Referenced" refer the status of each Image's Master.  I keep my personal Library on my laptop, and keep as Managed all recently imported Images and all portfolio Images.  This allows me complete adjustment, printing, and exporting of those Images whenever I have my computer.  All the other Masters are stored on an external drive at work.
    But note, too, that Referenced Masters are not backed up in Vaults.  If you use Vaults, you will have to back up your Referenced Masters using a method other than Aperture's Vault feature.

  • PSE8 star ratings

    I think that star ratings in PSE 8 are called Star Ratings rather than "Favourites". Whatever they are called I can set them from each photo when in max sized mode, or by right-clicking then going Ratings etc.
    What I dont have is these ratings visible in the navigation pane as part of the keywords hierarchy. Its a long time ago, but I think this catalogue was created by upgrading it from PSE5. Is this a known problem and/or is there a known solution?
    Thanks for any help,
    Mike C

    99jon,
    thanks for such a quick reply....
    I think I understand that they are a parallel process. I seem to remember that at a point in the past they were available as part of the keyword hierarchy, and therefore could easily be used in conjunction with my own keywords to narrow the results shown in the organiser.
    I now realise that what I mean is that they are not visible in the Navigator Pane. If this is not the right term, I am sorry - it seems to change from version to version.
    I mean that when I have a collection of photos visble in the main window (show all), there is a pane that I can bring up on the right which shows all the keywords as a hierarchy or as a cloud.
    I am sure that, at one time the Star Ratings were visible as part of that cloud/hierarchy and they are not now.
    This may have happened at the same time as I migrated from 5 to 8 or not - there was alot on my mind at the time!

  • 1/2 star ratings gone in 10.1

    For a long time iTunes has had the "hidden" ability to display 1/2 star ratings.
    This ability seems to have gone in iTunes 10.1.
    Ratings are still stored internally as a number between 0 and 100, but a 90 no longer displays as 4 1/2 stars (instead it displays just as 4 stars).
    I'd like my 1/2 stars back, but I'm mostly posting to warn people who might like the 1/2 stars and not want to loose them.
    For me it is a dilema. I like that you can hide ping in 10.1. And I'll probably want to upgrade to iOS4.2. But I do like those 1/2 stars. Not sure what to do. . .

    This is a ditto to dknightd's comment.
    Since 2008 I have been using "I Love Stars" a free app that allowed to rate songs with half-stars. Before that I was using some Apple scripts (Doug's?) to do the same. That is 6 or 7 years of data wiped out by either OS 10.6.5 or iTunes 10.1! I am really surprised there aren't more people commenting (complaining) about this because without the kerfuffle I am not sure Apple will correct the situation.
    Please, please Mister Jobs....put the half-stars back. : (

  • Imported Star Ratings

    In Aperture, when I import images that have been previously meta-annoted in iView, the star ratings do not show up (that column is empty in list and thumb views), although all my other iptc stuff is there.
    The stars DO show up in LightRoom, but not in Aperture. Is this a known thing and is there a tip for it?

    Well, you forced me to go through the old iView manuals. Turns out it IS an XMP thing that allows Lightroom and Bridge to see stars:
    *iView 3x manual*
    Ratings as annotations (pg 64)
    +Ratings in MediaPro are mapped to Adobe’s XMP standard for ratings. When annotations for images in a catalog are synchronized (written) to the original files, all ratings will be written into the files. If you open the image in Adobe Bridge, the star ratings will be displayed. Likewise, if you have assigned a rating to a file in Bridge, the rating will be displayed when you import that file into a MediaPro catalog.+
    *iView 3x manual*
    +iView / IPTC / QT / XMP / Aperture chart (pg 147)+
    Color labels no longer mentioned. No mention of ratings, but they do specifically list Aperture's equivalents.
    As for my Urgency memory:
    *iView 2x manual*
    +iView / IPTC / QT / Photoshop CS (pg 90)+
    "color labels" are listed with "urgency" here (and Urgency in the big IPTC list is indeed empty). Ratings are not listed
    So I guess for coprporate reasons Apple does not support the was XMP sees some stuff. If it's just the stars, that's workable, as Steve said. I just wonder what other annotations I haven't noticed yet...

  • Star Ratings not shown.

    I have Photoshop 11 and wish to put the star ratings to my photos.  They are presently not being shown.  I followed the video which states to go into View and click on Details.  I did this and all the showed up was the date!  Help please. 

    If you are zoomed out to far (the thumbnails are too small), you will not longer see additional details like the star rating or file name. Move the zoom slider at the bottom to the right to 25% or more.

  • Lost star ratings on my chosen photos in Filmstrip mode....

    Hello,
    Have recently lost my star ratings on my files while in Filmstrip mode and the marker that showed that the file had been edited has disappeared ( the little half moon things on the upper right side of the photo... Please help. Im assuming it is a setting but dont know which one

    Were they raw images? Did you move them from one folder to another?
    A raw image from a Canon or Nikon or other cameras has a raw image that cannot store any changes you make to your image. Rather, ACR creates a side-car file that must be in the same folder as the images. You will see your file and the sidecar so (for example) a cannon image might be _MG_3404.CR2 and the sidecar file would be _MG_3404.XMP. As long as those two are in the same folder, everything is great. Until you move one or the other from the folder. Then Bridge, ACR, or PS doesn't know what to do because there are no clues for the original image to KNOW that a sidecar file exists. If you still have the sidecar files, simply rejoining the two into the same folder will sove the problem.
    One easy resolution to this is to convert the original image from the original fomat to a DNG. There are MANY MANY benefits to this (and no liabiliities) but for your circumstances, the sidecar file is stored in the DNG. Your original raw image is also stored within this DNG so they cannot be separated.
    There are many ways to convert your images to DNG, one is during the original downloading: if you are using Bridge's Photo Downloader, there is an option to convert them to DNG during downloading. That's what I always do. After the fact conversion can be done using Adobe's DNG Converter.

  • Star Ratings -- From data source

    Hi,
    I have imported a data source to my page and it includes a number which I'd like to convert to stars (graphics). Is there a simple script that I can use to take the number being imported and convert it to a graphic? If the rating is a 2 I'd like to have two stars, etc ...
    Thanks!

    You could probably go 3 ways. Run a script after the merge, this would be the best.
    For each page, get the number/integer of the star rating from the text box. Then have the script draw X number of image frames on the page where ever the rating needs to be, like 3 or 4 small square boxes. You'd have to manually determine the placement of box 1, box 2 etc. Then place a star graphic in each box.
    Or you could also have the stars drawn as a polygon shape directly in InDesign, drawn as many times as needed.
    Or draw just one box, long rectangle, and then have 5 images of star ratings, 1 star, 2 star etc. Based on the number, place the file name that begins with that number (ie "1-star.jpg").

  • Keyboard shortcuts to assign star ratings

    Is there a way to specify hot-keys for assigning star ratings to the currently playing track? For example in system preferences would there be a way to hit [cmd]+1 for one star, [cmd]+2 for two stars, etc? I know there are some apps for doing this in the menu bar as well - any specific recommendations on simple, clean and effective ones?
    Thanks!

    I always like Synergy. I don't know if it does or will work with Leopard. I've had it for a long time but haven't used it in a while so I haven't kept up with it. However, it didn't generally cause any problems and did the job.

  • How to keep star ratings between catalogs?

    I'm sure this has been addressed, but can't seem to find it. My issue is simple: I have rated keeper images in one catalog, and I want to bring them into another catalog with those star ratings intact. I have saved metadata to the file, and I have "write xmp to file" checked. I'm dealing with RAW and jpegs, LR 4.2 OSX 10.7.5  What's the solution?

    The easiest solution is to use one catalog for all of your photos. Then there is no issue now, or in the future, of making sure both catalogs have the same star ratings (and many other benefits as well).
    But if you must have multiple catalogs, you can transfer the start ratings like this: select the desired photos in one catalog, then File->Export as Catalog, then go to the 2nd catalog and File->Import from Catalog. This makes sure that the star ratings match at the instant you do it. Future changes to star ratings would require you to repeat the process, as often as necessary, as you cannot keep these two catalogs in sync any other way. Hence the suggestion in the first paragraph

  • Star Ratings randomly changing

    Ok, trying not to scream as I write this.
    About 4 months ago, iTunes seemed to randomly change all my star ratings one day, Ive spent the last 4 months trying to get them right again.
    And now today its done it again, they all seem to have changed to something else.
    Im only syncing to an iPod classic, which I did a hard reset to last time this happened.
    Anyone know what might be going on here? Im going to have to use time machine to undo it.

    And now today its done it again, they all seem to have changed to something else.
    Do you have Time Machine running?
    which I did a hard reset to last time this happened
    What is a "hard reset" and why did you do it on the iPod if the problem is iTunes?

  • Why isn't my STAR RATINGS sync'ing?

    When I rated music on i-tunes it does not sync with my ratings on my iphone, anyone know how to fix ????

    I noticed the opposite. If I make changes in iTunes to the ratings it does sync over to the iPhone but if you rate anything on the iPhone those changes are not sync'd back to iTunes. I noticed some earlier posts about this and it seems like it has been around for a while. Seems basic iPod functionality isn't working on the phone. I REALLY REALLY hope they fix this (running 2.1 now).
    I noticed that that in addition to star ratings, the play count and last time played don't seem to sync either. What is really strange is that it seems to be spotty....does a few songs here and there. I listened to an entire album this afternoon, rated every song and after syncing iTunes shows I haven't listened to that album in days and none of the ratings are there. Worst part of it is that it syncs the songs from itunes back to the phone thus overwriting all the ratings you just did!
    Apple fix this!!

  • After purchasing songs at the itunes store, ipod touch will no longer synch with the itunes library at all. Also a lock symbol is now on the ipod touch. How do I fix this

    After purchasing songs at the itunes store,  my ipod touch will no longer synch with the itunes library at all. It won't send the purchases to the device and it won't synch any other music to the device. Also a lock symbol is now displayed at the top of the ipod touch. How do I fix this.
    This was the first purchase I made.

  • How can I transfer my star ratings to my new computer?

    Just bought a new Dell. I have ITunes on my old computer, and have spent lots of time creating playlists and star ratings. How can I import that into my new computer? I have a video Ipod with my complete music library on it, and when I connect it to my new computer I can listen and change the ratings, but I can't transfer the music, or any of the playlist info. Ideas?

  • I updated my iphone 5 to ios 6.0.2. my wifi says its connected but doesn't work now. It doesn't matter what wifi network I connect to. It worked before updating my phone. I can no longer use facetime or use wifi at all. I'm not sure what to do to fix it.

    I updated my iphone 5 to ios 6.0.2. my wifi says its connected but doesn't work now. It doesn't matter what wifi network I connect to. It worked before updating my phone. I can no longer use facetime or use wifi at all. I'm not sure what to do to fix it.

    I'm having similar issues with my phone.  I got my first iPhone recently, only had an iPod touch gen4 for a little over a year.  Updated to 6.0.2 when we got the phone (iPhone 5) a few days before Christmas.  When I got home on the evening of January 11, my phone would not connect the router anymore.  I was able to get it to connect after resetting the phone and the router, updating the router, and manually connecting.  That laste for a few minutes and then wouldn't work anymore.   I live in an area with very limited service, we have a network extender installed to help, and I am barely getting a 3G signal at times.
    My wife's iPad 4, my touchiPod 4, and all of our laptops are working just fine on the router.  When I dropped my kid off at school today, I noticed that I am not even seeing the school network anymore from the parking lot where before I got 3 or 4 bars and could connect to their wifi when I was there.  Today my phone goes back and forth between seeing my home network but not connecting, to not even seeing the network at all even from the same room that the router is in.
    Hope Apple fixes this problem soon..............
