Synchronising - more items than songs = don't understand

Update of iTunes has caused a few problems with my music library and folders, but a helpful Genius in the Apple store seems to have fixed most issues. One thing puzzles us both - when opening iTunes library, the footer says how many items I have, when synchronising, the software tells me how many songs I am working with. I have about 100 more items than songs and I cannot trace this difference to games (1), TV shows (1) and photos (25). At first we worried that we had not solved the problems with my music library, but I don't notice any missing songs. Any ideas as to what is in the "items" at the footer of the iTunes library? I am just curious rather than desperate to fix something. Many thanks for your indulgence.

Time machine makes this less important so gave up.

  • 'Find an Item' search on list with more items than view limit

    Hello all
    The 'Find and Item' search on a list with more items than the view limit appears to filter results according to where you are in that list.  So if I search on the allitems page displaying items 1-100 I get hits from the entire list.  But if I arrow
    through to view items 201-300 and repeat the same search only items from 201 to the end of the list are returned
    I'm assuming this is not how it should work i.e. it should always return results from the whole list.  Is there a way to make that so (other than increasing the view limit to something huge so that all items are always displayed)
    Many Thanks
    Dan

    Hi,
    According to your post, my understanding is that Find an item Search box in List didn't returned any results.
    The problem is due to a difference between the Content Source defined for the crawl and the default zone defined in the Alternate Access mapping.
    You need to change the Alternate Access Mapping configuration.
    For more information, you can refer to:

  • How to get items from a list that has more items than the List View Threshold?

    I'm using SharePoints object model and I'm trying to get all or a subset of the items from a SharePoint 2010 list which has many more items than the list view threshold (20,000+) using the SPList.GetItems() method. However no matter what I do the SPQueryThrottledException
    always seems to be thrown and I get no items back.
    I'm sorting based on the ID field, so it is indexed. I've tried setting the RowLimit property on the SPQuery object(had no effect). I tried specifying the RowLimit in the SPQuerys ViewXml property, but that still throws a throttle exception. I tried using the
    ContentIterator as defined here:http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/microsoft.office.server.utilities.contentiterator.aspx,
    but that still throws the query throttle exception. I tried specifying the RowLimit parameter in the ProcessListItems functions, as suggested by the first comment here:http://tomvangaever.be/blogv2/2011/05/contentiterator-very-large-lists/,
    but it still throws the query throttle exception. I tried using GetDataTable instead, still throws query throttle exception. I can't run this as admin, I can't raise the threshold limit, I can't raise the threshold limit temporarily, I can't override the lists
    throttling(i.e. list.EnableThrottling = false;), and I can't override the SPQuery(query.QueryThrottleMode = SPQueryThrottleOption.Override;). Does anyone know how to get items back in this situation or has anyone succesfully beaten the query throttle exception?
    Thanks.

        <RowLimit>2000</RowLimit>
    </View>
    Thanks again.

    I was using code below to work with 700000+ items in the list.
    SPWeb oWebsite = SPContext.Current.Web;
    SPList oList = oWebsite.Lists["MyList"];
    SPQuery oQuery = new SPQuery();
    oQuery.RowLimit = 2000;
    int intIndex = 1;
    do
    SPListItemCollection collListItems = oList.GetItems(oQuery);
    foreach (SPListItem oListItem in collListItems)
    //do something oListItem["Title"].ToString()
    oQuery.ListItemCollectionPosition = collListItems.ListItemCollectionPosition;
    intIndex++;
    } while (oQuery.ListItemCollectionPosition != null);
    Oleg
    Hi Oleg, thanks for replying.
    The problem with the code you have is that your SPQuery object's QueryThrottleMode is set to default. If you run that code as a local admin no throttle limits will be applied, but if you're not admin you will still have the normal throttle limits. In my
    situation it won't be run as a local admin so the code you provided won't work. You can simulate my dilemma by setting the QuerryThrottleMode  property to SPQueryThrottleOption.Strict, and I'm sure you'll start to get SPQueryThrottledException's
    as well on that list of 700000+ items.
    Thanks anyway though

  • Why does my Movie Library say I have more items than I do??

    HI
    I have a question about my Movie Library.
    When looking in my library at the bottom the count says I have 248 items. When Selecting all in the library it tells me I have 240 items selected. This is a little confusing as I've just done a data transfer and want to know I have all my stuff moved.
    I count 240 in the Library but only 239 in my movies folder in my itunes library folder.
    Any idea why this would be different??
    Thanks

  • Error message when ordered more items than it's available in stock.

    Hi again,
    I've noticed that on the Commerce Reference Store (CRS) if I order, let's say, 10 "branded belt black large" and there's only 5 available in stock my order goes through and the order's status is set to "Pending Merchant Action".
    Instead of this, I'd like to BLOCK the Order and display a message to the user. Something like: "There's only 5 items available".
    I was wondering what's the easiest way to customize this behaviour?
    Thanks!

    Insert a new pipeline processor in validatecheckout pipeline chain to do the inventory check.

  • Photos app uploading more items than in library

    I have been having a lot of trouble trying to upload my library to iCloud, I saw one solution that said to repair the Photos library by holding Command and Option at the same time then launching Photos, once the repair was done it seems like the upload has started again but this time its saying it is uploading 19,500+ photos when I only have 17,100 in my library. How could this be?

    Thank you for all your responses. It's good to know that I am not alone in this.
    Something far worse happened to me recently with the Photos app. I noticed in System Preferences > iCloud > Photos, there was an option to "Delete and Disable" iCloud Photo Library (hereinafter "IPL") completely. It sounded to me like this would delete all of my photos from IPL so that I could get a clean start and retry the upload from my pristine Photos app library.
    Lo and behold, when I did that, IPL somehow sent a signal to Photos that all of my photos needed to be downloaded, so it duplicated literally thousands of photos in a library that I had carefully pruned in Aperture throughout the years. Not only that, but it deleted half of my library! It went from 130 GB to 62 GB in a matter of minutes with no warning, confirmation, or even an informational dialog box. What a disaster this iCloud Photo Library has proven to be.
    Thank God, I have a good backup plan and everything can be restored, but I've learned my lesson and have come to the following conclusions:
    1. iCloud Photo Library is a disaster in its current state. This beta is not ready for public testing.
    2. The best way (at least for me) to use Photos app now, is to turn off iCloud Photo Library, but keep the option for the Photo Stream on. That option automatically feeds all new photos from my iOS devices into Photos, which is almost perfect. Unfortunately, Photo Stream does not support videos, however. So, for videos, I simply connect my iPhone and Photos app does a good job of recognizing all of the new videos that need to be imported. With this setup, I can benefit from the Photos app, get all of my new photos and videos imported, and avoid the hassle that is known as the iCloud Photo Library.
    I hope this experience helps someone in the future.

  • HT204406 Don't understand how to buy new music?

  • Which Mac Pro? More cores=slower speeds? And most of us know the speed matters or FPU for music and I don't understand the faster is for the least amount of procs. And while I get the whole rendering thing and why it makes sense.

    Which Mac Pro? More cores=slower speeds? And most of us know the speed matters or FPU for music and I don't understand the faster is for the least amount of procs. And while I get the whole rendering thing and why it makes sense.
    The above is what the bar says. It's been a while and wondered, maybe Apple changed the format for forums. Then got this nice big blank canvas to air my concerns. Went to school for Computer Science, BSEE, even worked at Analog Devices in Newton Massachusetts, where they make something for apple. 
    The bottom line is fast CPU = more FPU = more headroom and still can't figure out why the more cores= the slower it gets unless it's to get us in to a 6 core then come out with faster cores down the road or a newer Mac that uses the GPU. Also. Few. I'm the guy who said a few years ago Mac has an FCP that looks like iMovie on Steroids. Having said that I called the campus one day to ask them something and while I used to work for Apple, I think she thought I still did as she asked me, "HOW ARE THE 32 CORES/1DYE COMING ALONG? Not wanting to embarrass her I said fine, fine and then hung up.  Makes the most sense as I never quite got the 2,6,12 cores when for years everything from memory to CPU's have been, in sets of 2 to the 2nd power.  2,4,8,16,32,64,120,256,512, 1024, 2048,4196,8192, 72,768.  Wow. W-O-W and will be using whatever I get with Apollo Quad. 
    Peace to all and hope someone can point us in THE RIGHT DIRECTION.  THANK YOU

  • Only 20 songs on 2GB Nano.  don't understand

    Hello!
    I am not a computer savvy person by any stretch. Unfortunately, my ipod has started to hate me, and thus stop working properly.
    I got it as a Christmas gift in December of 2005. It is a 2GB Nano..
    I noticed while the months were passing, I was able to upload fewer and fewer songs. Currently, I'm only able to upload about 20 before the ipoos memory is full.
    Some friends (who don't have ipods) suggested that I download some firmware software. I had no idea what that even meant; so I typed it into a google search, and ended up with the newest available version of itunes.
    My problem still has not been fixed and I have no idea what to do!
    If someone could please help me out that would be utterly fantastic.

    Bear in mind that Apple quotes the number of songs you are able to store on any iPod by using the AAC format at a bitrate setting of 128kbps and for a 4 minute song. Any variation on these settings/timings will vary the amount of songs you are able to store on your iPod.
    You need to look in iTunes under edit/preferences/advanced/importing. What does it say in settings and import using? You may have the import settings and bitrate set wrong. You need to compress your music using either mp3 or aac. If you see AIFF, WAV or Apple Lossless then those formats are going to take way more space than mp3 or aac, especially the first 2 which are raw uncompressed formats.

  • I don't understand what's happening with my Music. All the songs that I purchased, that were previously on my phone, now show up a Cloud next to them, but I can't play them. If I touch the Cloud, it turns into a red square but never downloads.

    I don't understand what's happening with my Music. All the songs that I purchased, that were previously on my phone, now show up with a Cloud next to them, but I can't play them. If I touch the Cloud, it turns into a red square, acts like it's downloading (which I can see happening in iTunes), but never downloads. The Cloud just stays there.
    I've sync'd my phone, I've turned it to "show all music" in Settings, I've drag and dropped the songs/albums onto my phone again. I feel like I've tried everything I've seen recommended, but nothing works.
    I've purchased a lot of music from iTunes. It should be there. What's going on?
    P.S. Same thing happening with my purchased books. Ugh.

    Once you successfully add you iTunes library to iTunes Match, you go to Settings>iTunes & App Store on your iOS device and turn on iTunes Match.  Your iTunes Match library will then appear on your iOS device.

  • Bluray and DVD darker and more chroma than same sequence done on PC???

    First, I have a HDV 1080i60 sequence done in FCP 7. I export a quicktime and create MPEG 2 Bluray files in Compressor and create a bluray disc with Encore CS4 on the Mac.
    Second, my client is uses a PC based Matrox Axio edit system, and part of our procedure is for me to make him a XDCAM .mxf file, so he can import the video into his Axio without any rendering. He makes a Bluray out of his system from that file.
    When we compare the two Bluray discs, mine is darker and has more chroma than his disc, plus my bluray is darker and has more chroma than my timeline output to my ntsc monitor. All the monitoring is the same, so it's not a monitor issue. I have seen some issue with Gamma, etc. I just need to correct the problem, so my client doesn't quite using me for his extra post house.
    Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated!
    Thanks,
    John

    What would cause the difference now?
    Different platforms, different edit systems, different exports, different encoders. Who knows?
    Without checking the two images by using calibrated monitors and scopes through both edit, compress and burn processes, it's hard to tell where the changes happen.
    The simple solution is to decide which one you like then alter the other file so that it matches. It may take a number of passes to make the adjustments. It's either that or fully monitor the project on both your and your client's edit stations.
    Good luck,

    What Am I supposed to do???
    thanks for your help!

    Well as far as I can tell the only developed alternative to Apple is Microsoft, sure you want to go there?
    iCloud (and Mobile Me before it) are consumer level systems, working correctly they are a poor choice for business use, if you want to stay all Mac try Zimbra if you can let a little Microsoft in the mix use Microsoft Exchange (Mail, iCal & Address Book are compatible as clients), hosted Exchange systems cost about $10 per month.
    Or try to fix what is wrong with your installation (which is clearly not running as it should)

  • Trying to copy files and getting this error message, One or more items can't be copied because you don't have permission to read them. this is really annoying, can someone pls help..?

    i have two network drive and i am trying to copy a file from my mac mini to one of the network drives, but i keep getting this error message "One or more items can’t be copied because you don’t have permission to read them." i have no idea why this is since i have always been able to copy stuff back and forth. i checked my file sharing permissions and it is set to read and write for admin (me), none for everyone and read for guests. can someone please, this is very annoying and this is the second time it has happened to me.

    neither move nor copy is working. both way gives same error message. what i would like to do however is move the file. yes i am logged in as a the admin and the issue is affecting not just that particular file in my system but others as well. i looked at get info and no the file is not locked but under permission, it says everyone and read only. it will not let me change this setting from get info however when i look under system preferences for file sharing, my setting is read and write for admin (me), none for everyone and read for guests.

    Hello, PriestessJeanann. 
    Thank you for visiting Apple Support Communities.
    Here is an article I would recommend going through when experiencing issues with mail.  The usual fix would be to delete the email account in question and add this account via the preset AOL option.  I would also recommend checking with your email provider for security procedures such as two-step verification as this could cause this issue.

  • Don't understand the cc cleaner tool

    Good morning and happy new year.
    I must be the dumbest people here but I tried to follow the cc cleaner tool process explained here and I'm at a loss and stopped before making a fool of myself.
    I went through the process 1 and 2 ie. I have a disk repair and an external disk backup of my system driver. (I use Win 7 Ultimate fully updated). My projects are NOT on the system drive as well as all the clips I use .
    question : Will CC cleaner delete on the system drive any information related to my projects? I need a precise answer: No or Yes. The "perhaps", "maybe" etc evavive answers are not acceptable in such situations.
    In  the step 2 of the help file I uninstalled with Win 7 uninstall manager different elements from CC and CS 6 that either I have no use of or that I wont use anymore as I want to stick to the latest version of CC which are PPro, AE  and Mediaencoder for the moment.
    We arrive to step 3 and there I just don't understand why I should have to uninstall programs I uninstalled in the previous step. Will that step totally erase the whole programs of CC for example, or will it just clean remaining items or directories specifically related to for instance Prelude CC 2014 ? Can't people who write these messages in their scripts be once and for all precise in their wording saying what will be done?!
    In this present instance I need to make a clean re-install of Mediaencoder CC as there has been most probably a problem during the recent update although it was completed without any error messages; I can't anymore re encode a project although I have not changed a line of it! The program stops suddenly and reboots my computer. I have not changed anything in the computer as well and the hardware is not the cause of the problem as it is only Media encoder which provokes the crash when it did not before the update.
    This will be probably considered an ill mannered way of presenting my problem by I'm sorry to say that one cannot work cautiously enough and I don't want to see weeks of work erased and not usable even with backups because a user manual is not clear and precise in its wording. This infuriates me and I wish to know where I set foot!
    Again sorry for my bad temper but really this is stressing.
    Thanks in advance for your help

    My project is on driver G, my clips are on D, E and G, with a majority of them on G; Cloud CC 2014 is on Driver C with Windows 7
    B/What version of Premiere Pro are you running currently? Do you have any third party plug-ins or hardware you using in conjunction with Premiere Pro? Do you know what version of Media Encoder you were using successfully before the recent update and you started having problems?
    I use exclusively since I took the subscription to Cloud CC, the latest versions, I check updates or upgrades every week and of course get notification also by the automatic Cloud manager of any new version. My last update was done on the 30th of December 2014. So yes I run with the most recent programs; the problems occurred just after! And got aggravated yesterday for no reason when Media encoder and Premiere Pro did not recognized MP4 format clips with an error message that the format was not supported!!! I hope Adobe did not decide to abandon this format, because it would put my 2 projects in full jeopardy!
    Before the last update I had no problems. I have uploaded on Vimeo a provisional encoded file (see
    with password rja404177 .
    I decided  to separate my project in two master projects concerning each of them the 2 parts of the video, with different names as to make the projects less heavy to manage by the computer and also easier to correct or change some of the effects controls especially the use of the curves RGB effect. I have a problem of getting an even colorimetric view between three different sources of files and cameras, one source is analog, the others HD and one of the latest has been more or less over exposed, so I check every clips with the YCscope and RGB parade and Vectorscope ( there could be a problem of color broadcast due to the red of the cliffs). Just imagine what would happen If I had to do it again! The full video is 1h10 minutes long! The video here corresponds to the first master project before the division in two parts. As I use nested sequences I have transferred in the master sequence here the 3 first sequences of the film (Titles, Las Vegas to Lee's Ferry, 1st day on the river).
    Yes I have Video Copilot addons but which are not used in the project as well as Red Giant Universe Premium also not used here. In fact I seldom use special effects in these projects as they are kind of documentary on my raft trip down the Colorado in 1995 updated with films of two friends done 2011 and 2013. The only effects used are Cross dissolve and the Slide push one twice in the project for the last one. I use otherwise the default controls of scale and opacity if necessary. Soundwise, my tracks are declared 5.1 and used in conjunction with Audition CC (I've been a user of this last program for many years since it's creation by Syntrillium under the name CoolEdit Pro before Adobe acquired it!)
    May I add that I'm not a novice with computers although an old froggy of 73!LOL! I began using computers in 1972 besides my job of Financial Analyst. I developed software in APL+ for stocks buy and sell decision making and created in France the first financial database in 1978 I was considered at that time like a perfect crazy guy in my business, good to be put in an asylum!!!. Since then I must say I had a good laugh! Try to prevent a trader to use a computer and databases nowadays and you'll see the speed at which he will throw you out of the window!
    C/I would probably have focused on just Media Encoder if possible but whats done is done. Maybe you did?
    Yes you're right I sort of thought of Media encoder first, but revised my way of dealing with the problem thinking that may be the installation had not been done correctly although no problem occurred during the update. I always update one program at a time waiting it to be fully completed before clicking on the install button of the next one.
    D/ about the two methods of uninstall.
    You say "The cleaner tool removes the same directories as the standard uninstaller. However the uninstaller is definitely the preferred method as it is done in conjunction with OS and the registry versus scripts which don't. The cleaner tool is generally used when the standard uninstall method fails "
    May I say I'm not sure this is the right way to do from the user viewpoint. It is misleading. I'm again neither a professional in development although I mentioned what I did when I was not retired, and not a professional in Video editing etc.. I just address the problem from the user's point of view. If Adobe thinks that the Management panel solution is the best solution to have all the files eliminated let's stick to it. In fact one can see by using the CCleaner program that it does not eliminate all the register's problems after having uninstalled a program. So perhaps then it is justified to use also the Adobe CC Cleaner device. Then may I suggest that the phrasing of the step 3 be changed to make the user understand its real purpose. From what you say one induces that they are complementary. This should be perfectly clear in the user's brain.  When I tried to find answers to my problems on the forums it showed many times that people did not really understand what would happen, how the device was going to work. That's why I insisted in my question on the "precise, yes or no " etc.. answers required. I can dedicate time to such questioning, I doubt a professional having to deliver a final product under contract has time to make hypothesis on this matter if it occurs to him such mishaps....
    E/ miscellaneous questions:
    Yes I use the default format proposed by Media encoder H.264  preset : Match source high bitrate which matches my project's settings. It worked three times before the update without an hitch. Why should not it go on like that?
    The encoded files are saved either on the driver of the project file, or on the E external driver to make sure I do not erase the final encoded file by mistake. Poirot's little grey cells are a little bit rusty nowadays!
    I had no problems before the update by working like that.
    I did not try a different codec before the last event which is the impossibility of using my MP4 clips. By the way the projects contain also AVI uncompressed (codec UYVY) files (My quicktime version is also updated) and the native files of my Canon Legria AVCHD camera (AVC format) and  I used the AVI uncompressed format because I wanted to derush my analog files to eliminate any shots which were of poor quality. I use for this a small software: AVI Cutty which works only with AVI uncompressed files. So I used Media Encoder to pre encode my analog files in this format first; It separate automatically my videos in clips more or less corresponding to scenes. Again I had no problem since I began to use Adobe software more than a year ago with CS5.5 and then with CC 2014 since last September as a yearly subscriber.
    Both projects have the same problem.
    I checked the Windows task manager while encoding and I observed this:
    a/ the crash occurs randomly in time.
    b/ it seems that each time the encoding passes on a cross dissolve section (I'm not certain of that it can be also the changes in the curves RGB effects settings from one clip to the other.) the CPU usage curve reaches a peak around 95 to nearly 100%. I suppose the crash occurs when the 100%+ is reached.
    c/I've checked my system driver's integrity, there is no problem here. I did the same for the memory which is ok too.
    d/ No I did put the question on other forums because I did not find the right place to put it.
    I do my best not to pollute other forums with non related questions.
    e/ As for the recognition of the MP4 files, other programs like the Windows mediaplayer recognize them so it's not a question of corrupted files.
    f/ I've just checked with the reinstalled media encoder. I did not re-encode but I do not get any more messages that the MP4 format is not recognized! Thank god! Remains to test the re-encoding itself and PP when the installation is over.
    Well I hope this long answer gives you a better idea of what is going on. I'm finishing right now the re installation of PP AE Media encoder and Audition and will come back to you with the results.
    Thanks again
    Best
