SWhy do imported and downloaded CD's often go to multple folders?

When I import or download a CD the songs or tracks often go to multiple folders rather than to a single folder, even when the artist is the same on all or when all the tracks are part of the same CD title. Is there an explanation for this? Usually I create a Playlist of all the tracks in order to place them together in my iPod.

Close.
With this specific bin structure, if I import as you described the file imports to the Reception Bin. I tried the same proceedure with highlighting>righ clicking> and importing,  files to all bin levels even to the root level not inside a bin and it still goes to the reception bin. So for what ever reason for this project I am working on now the Reception Bin has become the default bin.
This holds true for titles as well, they get created in the reception bin.
I thought it might have something to do with the fact that I presort my footage into folders then "import folder" into the footage bin. I thought it might have something to do with the last bin I created or imported became a default bin but in this scenario. The Receception bin is the second to last folder I imported/created.

  • Hi I've download an album of iTunes and played it quite often and now I've noticed there is only a few tracks highlited and the rest of the tracks won't play can anyone help .

    Hi I've downloaded an album of iTunes and played it quite often but I've noticed today that 3tracks are highlited to play and all the rest are not can any one point me in the right direction on why this as happened .

    Do you use iTunes Match? I don't use it, but in case somebody else joins in that might be important to know. I don't know how iTM affects this type of thing on the iPad.
    My suggestion would be to delete the album and download it again, if you can't get the songs to play. Many iTunes purchase can be downloade again for free when using the same Apple ID and if the item is still available in iTunes and the free downloads feature is available where you live.
    This will tell you what content you can download again for free where you live.

    I am not a big downloader of Music from iTunes, but I have one song that gives me fits and I just delete it and download it again. Not the ideal situation, but it works.

  • My Laptop crashed. I had a full backup on Carbonite so the iTunes folder is there and downloadable.  Is there any way just to import that and have iTunes on my new computer (Windows 7) recognize it?

    Nothing gets imported.  Simply restore the ENTIRE iTunes folder to the new/restored computer.
    Download and install iTunes from Apple's website.
    The first time iTunes is launched, assuming the ENTIRE iTunes folder is restored to the correct location, it will launch and be exactly as it was prior to the comptuer issues.  If for some reason this does not work, close iTunes, hold the SHIFT key while launching iTunes and a prompt will appear to choose or create a new iTunes library.  At this point simply point iTunes to the correct location for the existing iTunes library.

  • Following download of version 23.0.1 I lost all previous history but not bookmarks. How do I recover old history? Recovery in "import and backup" does not help

    My remembered and retained history was going back quite a few months. Following update of Firefox to 23.0.1 I lost all my history and Firefox only retains websites visited after the new version was installed. My bookmarks have been retained. I tried Recover in "Import and backup" but it only goes back to the date of the new installation. I tried places.sqlite in "Roaming" but there is only one with today's date. Is there a way to recover the lost history? Why did Firefox lose it? Will it happen averytime Firefox updates?

    Backup your bookmarks manually. If you have been using the "import" you may have already lost some information by overwriting it. As a matter of course you should always save current bookmarks manually before using any restores.
    * [[Restore bookmarks from backup or move them to another computer]]
    That way you can ensure you are able to restore the complete current set. Put your .json backup file somewhere safe outside Firefox program or profile paths. The Windows Desktop or removable media would be suitable.
    Firefox does create some autobackups of bookmarks but does not do anything about backing up the History. Luckily Windows probably backs up previous versions of your file ''places.sqlite'' and that is the database with History and bookmarks in it. See if you can recover a recent version of that, it will restore your history up to the date of the restored file.
    * http://windows.microsoft.com/en-US/windows7/Previous-versions-of-files-frequently-asked-questions
    * the file ''places.sulite'' is in the Firefox profile, a hidden folder that is easy to find by using troubleshooting. see [[Profiles - Where Firefox stores your bookmarks, passwords and other user data#w_how-do-i-find-my-profile]]_how-do-i-find-my-profile
    Afterwards import your more recent bookmarks from wherever they were saved. The import overwrites the slightly older bookmarks from the Windows file.
    You my also then wish to install and run the addon places maintenance.
    * https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/places-maintenance/
    That may be used to check and repair the places.sqlite database. It will give a short status report. Note if the places.sqlite runs out of space it starts deleting History.
    In future you my wish to routinely create occasional backups of your profile or at least your places.sqlite

  • Importing and Organizing Thousands of Photos into IPhoto

    How can I import about 20 thousands photo into IPhotos and keep the logical organization?
    I just buy a Mac Mini and I start trying to move my photos. These are organized in directories by dates with a customize description for the occasion ( …/YEAR/YEAR-MONTH-DAY + DESCRIPTION/)
    I tried with few directories and I realized that in order to use IPhoto and keep the logical organization I will have to create and name about 500 albums manually and look for the photos for every album again one by one.
    It sounds hard because the number of albums and photos.

    There is a 3rd party application, iPhotoTool, that will let you select the top folder containing many subfolders and import all of them into iPhoto and create an album of each sub folder. That will save you a lot of manual work. Then all you need to do is create folders in the Source pane to organize your albums. Be sure to not allow duplicates each time it asks or you'll get duplicates in many of the folders. You'll be asked for each subfolder above the lowest but that's lot easier than manually finding and dragging each folder into iPhoto's Source pane.
    Do you Twango?
    TIP: For insurance against the iPhoto database corruption that many users have experienced I recommend making a backup copy of the Library6.iPhoto database file and keep it current. If problems crop up where iPhoto suddenly can't see any photos or thinks there are no photos in the library, replacing the working Library6.iPhoto file with the backup will often get the library back. By keeping it current I mean backup after each import and/or any serious editing or work on books, slideshows, calendars, cards, etc. That insures that if a problem pops up and you do need to replace the database file, you'll retain all those efforts. It doesn't take long to make the backup and it's good insurance.
    I've written an Automator workflow application (requires Tiger), iPhoto dB File Backup, that will copy the selected Library6.iPhoto file from your iPhoto Library folder to the Pictures folder, replacing any previous version of it. You can download it at Toad's Cellar. Be sure to read the Read Me pdf file.

    I need some help.... I Have the iPhone 4S and downloaded the new software (6.0) and everything seems great so far except when I try to open a link in safari from a different app (ie..messages, Facebook, ect..) it glitches and won't load. The blue loading bar will just jump back and forth and the page will not load properly if at all....

    It sounds like you may have multiple problems, but none of them are likely to be caused by malware.
    First, the internet-related issues may be related to adware or a network compromise. I tend to lean more towards the latter, based on your description of the problem. See:
    http://www.adwaremedic.com/kb/baddns.php
    http://www.adwaremedic.com/kb/hackedrouter.php
    If investigation shows that this is not a network-specific issue, then it's probably adware. See my Adware Removal Guide for help finding and removing it. Note that you mention AdBlock as if it should have prevented this, but it's important to understand that ad blockers do not protect you against adware in any way. Neither would any kind of anti-virus software, which often doesn't detect adware.
    As for the other issues, it sounds like you've got some serious corruption. I would be inclined to say it sounds like a failing drive, except it sounds like you just got it replaced. How did you get all your files back after the new drive was installed?

  • How do I get PSE10 to import and rename files in order?

    When I place my CF card into the reader PSE opens and displays all the photos on the card the problem is they are out of order. I take volleyball photos and use the burst often The files are numbered properly by the camera but PSE seems to get them mixed up. When I import and renamer them PSE thakes them in the order they are shown and they are then renumbered out of order causind many shots to be out of order. I have never had this problem before. I have been using PSE 6 up thru 10 now and this is the first time I have had this happen. Last season I wasusing PSE9 and all my bursts sequences are in purfect order.
    Am I missing something in the settings?

    Hi,
    The problem I have is with the PSE Organizer "Photo Downloader". When I
    plug the CF card from my camera into the card reader on the computer the
    "downloader" opens up and shows thumbnails of the files on the card. At
    this point the files are out of order based on the file numbers applied
    by the camera. I.e.: one sequence looks like this-
    11,12,16,15,14,13,17,18; where 12 thru 16 were a burst. Another
    sequence- 121,120,125,124,122,123; all one burst. As you can see they
    are out of order.  I tried leaving the card in the camera and the same
    thing happens. If I view the photos in /on the camera they are in the
    right order. What has been happening is that I rename and number the
    files as I import them. When that happens the files get numbered in
    sequence as to how they are seen in the "downloader"....this means in
    the examples shown 16 would become 13; 15 becomes 14 ect. This ends up
    mixing up any sequence of shots.
    Once I have the RAW files imported I import them to Lightroom 4 to do
    most of my processing. Here if I choose to arrange by time created I can
    get them in the right order but because the files are rearranged into
    the correct order and since I renamed them on importing the file numbers
    are now out of order. After figuring out what the problem was I can now
    import the files to lightroom without renaming > arrange by time or file
    name> rename> and all seems to be OK. My question is I never had this
    problem before and it was very nice to be able to rename the files at
    import and be done with it.
    I haven't had time to check into it but one thing I'm wondering is is
    there a way to rename the files at import without changing the file
    number? Is there a way to insert the date and text while keeping the
    IMG_Number....i.e IMG001 becomes 2012 09 15_Volleyball_0001 keeping the
    original file number and only inserting a date/name? This would solve
    the whole problem as I could then arrange by file name and all would be
    well.
    Any ideas or help would be appreciated.

  • Import and organize by dated folders

    I have a Nikon D90 and a Canon sd750. What i would like to be able to do is use some program to download the photos into folders based on date automatically so that pics taken on same day by both camera will end up in same folder (eg Photos/2008-11-05/). Then i would like to have Aperture reference these folders with each date being a new album.
    I used to use Picasa which did this well but now i cant seem to make Aperture work this way without a lot of manually setting up folders.
    I often wait 2-3 weeks between imports and end up taking 15-20 pics every few days and need to use the date as the way i find my pics instead of separating into projects. They are usually random family pics and not projects like "nature" or "vacation". I know when an event occurred like birthdays and can easily use the date to find these.
    Any help and/or suggestions on what combo of software that I could use to accomplish this would be appreciated.

    See my post of October 24. Assuming you are using referenced masters that you will copy into the structured folders, chose import > import folders into project. Then under subfolders chose edit. Then build the proper folder name, e.g., yearmonthday. Ultimately you will get a project with daily folders within it.
    As noted, this works but took two steps. Perhaps if I used albums under the project it would be easier. And, you need to be careful to not delete your masters when redoing the project. I have not researched this further. Please post a better way if you find it.
    I suggest experimenting with a few copied masters.

  • RAW importing and editing

    Okay, I know this has been covered countless times under different guises but I have a few specific questions/gripes.
    I've been happily shooting away these past few weeks (Canon Rebel XTi, before anyone asks), and shooting RAW most of the time. Now I have continually imported and deleted (from camera) my photos into iPhoto, satisfied that it's importing RAW files correctly. Satisfied as when comparing the images to the automatically saved JPEG version the extra latitude is visibly obvious. Trying to open these files (.CR2) in Photoshop CS2 though, it says the file is unsupported (either from hitting edit within iPhoto, or browsing in Finder). Although importing the .CR2 files into Aperture 2 and Photoshop CS3 (Trial versions) they open as RAW. In addition though there are images that match the look of the RAW although they are JPGs.
    What does iPhoto do to photos?

    Andrew:
    Welcome to the Apple Discussions. iPhoto doesn't do anything to files when it imports. It just copies them. It appears the CS2 doesn't support that Canon's RAW file where CS3 does. Check at the Adobe site and see if there's a plugin for CS2 that will make it work.
    FWIW:
    Using Photoshop (or Photoshop Elements) as Your Editor of Choice in iPhoto.
    1 - select Photoshop as your editor of choice in iPhoto's General Preference Section's under the "Edit photo:" menu.
    2 - double click on the thumbnail in iPhoto to open it in Photoshop. When you're finished editing click on the Save button. If you immediately get the JPEG Options window make your selection (Baseline standard seems to be the most compatible jpeg format) and click on the OK button. Your done.
    3 - however, if you get the navigation window that indicates that PS wants to save it as a PS formatted file. You'll need to either select JPEG from the menu and save (top image) or click on the desktop in the Navigation window (bottom image) and save it to the desktop for importing as a new photo.
    This method will let iPhoto know that the photo has been editied and will update the thumbnail file to reflect the edit..
    NOTE: With Photoshop Elements 6 the Saving File preferences should be configured: "On First Save: Save Over Current File". Also I suggest the Maximize PSD File Compatabilty be set to Always.
    If you want to use both iPhoto's editing mode and PS without having to go back and forth to the Preference pane, once you've selected PS as your editor of choice, reset the Preferences back to "Open in main window". That will let you either edit in iPhoto (double click on the thumbnail) or in PS (Control-click on the thumbnail and seledt "Edit in external editor" in the Contextual menu). This way you get the best of both worlds
    2 - double click on the thumbnail in iPhoto to open it in Photoshop. When you're finished editing click on the Save button. If you immediately get the JPEG Options window make your selection (Baseline standard seems to be the most compatible jpeg format) and click on the OK button. Your done.

    This method will let iPhoto know that the photo has been editied and will update the thumbnail file to reflect the edit..
    TIP: For insurance against the iPhoto database corruption that many users have experienced I recommend making a backup copy of the Library6.iPhoto (iPhoto.Library for iPhoto 5 and earlier) database file and keep it current. If problems crop up where iPhoto suddenly can't see any photos or thinks there are no photos in the library, replacing the working Library6.iPhoto file with the backup will often get the library back. By keeping it current I mean backup after each import and/or any serious editing or work on books, slideshows, calendars, cards, etc. That insures that if a problem pops up and you do need to replace the database file, you'll retain all those efforts. It doesn't take long to make the backup and it's good insurance.
    I've created an Automator workflow application (requires Tiger or later), iPhoto dB File Backup, that will copy the selected Library6.iPhoto file from your iPhoto Library folder to the Pictures folder, replacing any previous version of it. It's compatible with iPhoto 6 and 7 libraries and Tiger and Leopard. iPhoto does not have to be closed to run the application, just idle. You can download it at Toad's Cellar. Be sure to read the Read Me pdf file.
    Note: There now an Automator backup application for iPhoto 5 that will work with Tiger or Leopard.
