Tag info problem

Hello
When I drop new music on my iPod touch 5G via iTunes 12.1.1.4 and start editing tag info (Artist, album, cover , e.t.c) , I see changes only in Itunes, but not in iPod, even when I push Sync button in right down corner.
How can I fix it?

If they are mp3s, try changing the ID3 tag version.
Ctrl-click one of the files, click "Convert ID3 tags...", check "ID3 tag version", select "v2.4", press OK, and try playing the file.

ITunes not writing tag info to file

Recently iTunes hasn't been writing the tag info to the mp3 files when I import a new cd. I've never had a problem with this until recently.
I'm using iTunes 6.0.5 on a Intel Mini 1.66 with OS 10.4.6. When I insert a new disc it shows the proper track, artist, album, etc info. It titles the tracks correctly and puts them in my iTunes library correctly. However, when I check the tag info in MediaRage it shows nothing! I don't think it's a problem with MediaRage because I tried to import the cds on my Powerbook and they import fine.
I discovered this when I recently needed to reformat my music harddrive. When I copied the files back into iTunes a bunch of tracks came up as unknown artist and album. When I checked them furhter I found they were the last 6 or 7 cds I had imported. So they went into iTunes initially with the correct info, but the tag info hadn't been written, so when I reimported them iTunes organized them into the unknown folder.
I've been able to work around this by using the convert id3 tags command immediately after importing a new cd. Then all the info shows up correctly in MediaRage. But I shouldn't have to do this extra step! I've updated to the latest version of iTunes in case the last version was corrupted somehow. That didn't help. I've looked for the iTunes preferences file but can't find it.
So sorry for the long ramble but I've searched everywhere and can't find a solution or even anyone else mentioning this problem.
HELP!

It's difficult to say what's causing this problem, although at this moment in time there still seem to be a lot of bugs with various software when running on Intel-based Macs.
Unfortunately, for some odd reason, iTunes writes ID3 v. 2.2 tags by default rather than the more acceptable v. 2.3 (or even 2.4). You might try ripping your CDs with Max using the provided (LAME) MP3 encoder. You should get more accurate rips to start with (using the paranoia ripper), and the highest qualtiy MP3s using the superior LAME encoder. Your files will have ID3 v. 2.4 tags written to them. You can also configure Max, in its preferences, to add files directly to your iTunes library upon encoding for perfect integration with iTunes. Hopefully this will work well for you and your files will retain their metadata.

Template not updating meta tag info.

I use DW MX on PC w/XP Home OS -- in the event that this info
makes any difference.
I updated meta tag info in a template then applied it to all
the child pages. The changes were not propogated. I've looked over
the info at "Template child pages are not updated when parent
template is changed," from
http://www.adobe.com/cfusion/knowledgebase/index.cfm?id=dd83ba8b
I haven't done any of the boo-boos on the list other than to
recreate the cache file (#6) -- to no avail I might add...
Any suggestions?

Here are seven common mistakes that will result in changes
not propagating
from Template to child -
1. Rename the Templates folder
2. Move the Templates folder to some other folder level in
the site other
than root level
3. Move a template out of the Templates folder.
4. Make changes to an editable region of the template (which
will not
propagate)
5. Assume that template changes can be uploaded to the server
without also
uploading the changed local files
6. Corrupt the site cache so that the link between template
and child page
is broken
7, Improperly create your child pages by simply opening the
template,
adding page specific content, and resaving the template with
an *.html
extension rather that its *.dwt extension. (you can tell if
this is the case
by looking at the code on a child page - if you see anything
like <!--
TemplateBeginEditable... then this is what you have done)
The 6th problem can be repaired by using SITE | Advanced >
Recreate Site
Cache, and the six others can be fixed by just not doing
them. Have you
done any of those?

How do I get PSE to read tag info on updated jpg files?

Using PSE9 on 2 PCs. Files are stored locally on each, and updates synced via Windows Mesh.
Use case issue:
1) Add tag to jpg on PC1 using PSE.
2) Execute PSE "write to file" command before closing app
3) Confirm on PC2 via Windows Explorer that tag info is updated on local file
4) Open PSE on PC2, bur additional tag info is not recognized by PSE.
5) Tried to re-import test files in PSE using "Get Files" function, but tag data was still not read by PSE.
6) Manually added new tag to tag list, reloaded PSE, but new tag info still not read on file.
7) Ran Optimize and Repair catalog functions, but problem persisits.
How do I get PSE to read tag info on updated jpg files without rebuilding the entire catalog every time I edit a file?

Simple : you can't.
Why ? Because the tags are stored in the database of the catalog. When you 'write' metadata to files, you can see it does work. The new tags are written to the files. But the new tags are ignored by the catalog in the second computer. You'd have to delete the file entry from the catalog and reimport it, supposing the tag is already in the tag list. Otherwise the tag would appear in the 'imported tags' category.
The Organizer is not meant to be a multi-user database.
What you can do to share media and catalogs between two computers having the same Elements version is to store the media files and the catalog on an external drive you can plug to each computer when needed. Note that the drives should be recognized with the same drive letter.

Recovery from crashed drive - PSe3 files with tag info?

Hi,
I've had a crashed hard drive which I cannot now boot from. So without being able to reboot, I can't start PSE3 and view the photos and the tags in the organiser.
I do have one back up but it was done some time ago and, since then, I've added quite a few more pix. (Clearly I need to back up more frequently, but that's for the future. At the moment, I'd just like to get back any of the tags so painstakingly put in over the last couple of months.)
I can view the partition that carried the OS (WinXP sp 2) and would like, if possible, to salvage the tag files from the PSe3 installation. (The photos themselves I've been able to copy out of the damaged hard drive.)
- Can anyone direct me to the folder or file in the original PSE3 installation that would contain the tag information for the photos logged in the Organiser?
- Also, is it as simple as reinstalling the programme and then copying this file/folder into the new root folder to 'get back' all the tag info?
Any help (or alternative suggestions) would be welcome.

>- Can anyone direct me to the folder or file in the original PSE3 installation that would contain the tag information for the photos logged in the Organiser?
XP -- C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Application Data\Adobe\Catalogs
The catalog file itself is a .psa file.
The default catalog name is My Catalog.psa
Also look at
C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Application Data\Adobe\Catalog Folders
Under that structure there will be a subfolder with the name of your catalog (the default being "My Catalog" without the quotes). It contains those thumbnails that you see in the Photo Well of the PSE Organizer plus other control files.
Note that you must set the "Folder Options" to view Hidden Files in order to see these folder structures: this can be done either from Control Panel or from the Tools menu of Windows Explorer.
>- Also, is it as simple as reinstalling the programme and then copying this file/folder into the new root folder to 'get back' all the tag info?
Probably yes. People have done this over the years since PS Elements version 3 was released.
1 -- I woud first try copying over the .psa file AND its associated folder under "Catalog Folders".
2 -- Copying over the Catalog Folders subfoder does have more risk of failing because of configuration differences. So if number 1 does not work, then I would delete the folder under Catalog Folders on your new drive - then try again with just the copied over .psa file placed in that Catalogs folder. Wtih this approach you will have the tags but you will need to recreate the thumbnails displayed in the Photowell of the PSE Organzer.
Note that having correct pointers to the photos from the Catalog does depend on having the same Windows drive letter assigned to the disk containing the photo files: if you only have a C drive then that should be OK (otherwise you do need to verify drive letter assignments).

File Info problems in Photoshop CC & CS5.1 on OS X 10.8

I have recently upgraded my Macs, running OS X Mountain Lion, from Photoshop CS5.1 to Photoshop CC for two reasons:
1. Because it most the most cost efficeint way to obtain the latest Camera Raw plugins that are no longer supported in CS5.1
2. Because I began experiencing issues on two Macs where initially only in Bridge, was I no longer able to input any File Info dialogue.
I make extensive use of File Info templates, which are then applied to batches of files in Bridge before individual files, or groups of files requiring the identical metadata are modified.
After a time, once the overall batch of File Info templates had been applied to files I discovered that I was unable to edit them further. Even after Repairing Permissions in Disk Utility it usually took a reboot to fix the problem, although the problem was always solved.
However there came a point a few weeks ago when I was unable write any further metadata to File Info, in Bridge or Photoshop, no matter what I did. Again this issue happened on two Macs so I'm guessing that it is not a machine issue.
As I needed the latest Camera RAW plugins as well I decided to upgrade to Photoshop CC, which I have to say I have been very pleased with - until now. The dreaded File Info problem has now occurred again, although currently only in Photoshop, not Bridge. When I try to add or modify any information in File Info in Photoshop CC the dialogue box just closes!
Clearly it is not just a Photoshop CC issue although I never had the problem prior to CS5.1 and I leapfrogged CS6 and I find it hard to believe that it is a machine issue. Could it be a conflict with the OS or with Extensis Suitcase Fusion 4?
Has anyone else encountered this problem?

Curt, Thanks for your rapid response.
To answer your questions. I thought that, initially, the problem might be a permissions problem but it occurs on both boot drives and also when the same files are copied to Firewire external drives - on both Macs, but different external drives in each case. I followed your link but there was nothing there that I didn't already know or hadn't already tried, thanks.
One computer is a 24" iMac and the other is a 15" MacBook Pro. I've also tried to replicate the problem on four PowerMac G5s running OS X 10.5.8 with Photoshop/Bridge CS4, with the same drives plugged in, but have experienced no problems at all. It's quite bizarre.
Also, looking deeper into the conundrum, I find that I can't input any numbers, only letters! Using the keyboard all numbers, whether on the main or auxiliary keypads, cause the File Info dialogue box to either jump to a new tab or close. Using Shift on the numbered keys works perfectly however!
It just goes on getting better...

How do you display ID3 tag info?

Does anyone know how to display detailed id3 tag info for a song that is playing? I'm looking for a display of the bitrate, genre, file size, track number, etc. I've tried pressing the center button a few times as suggested by the manual, but it doesn't do anything but change the progress bar.

Thanks. I didn't think it was possible to see the extra ID3 tag info, but it doesn't hurt to check since I'm new to iPod.
My old archos jukebox allowed ANY id3 tag info to be displayed and in any manner I chose. I'll miss that.
However, the album art display is nice, which the archos doesn't have.

Can I get html tag info through actionscript?

Hi,
I want to know if there is any way to get the html tag info
through
actionscript when the swf file is played in a web browser?
for example, if the html snippet is:
<embed name="xx" id="99"
type="application/x-shockwave-flash"
src="my.swf" />
can I get the 'name', 'id' attribute value of this html tag
from my.swf
through actionscript? or is there any other way? I know
actionscript can
call functions in the html page, but that cant' help me get
the 'name',
'id' attriubte value of the html tag.
Any suggestion is highly appreciated, thanks in advance.

Great! thanks, I will take a try of this.

Losing iTunes Tag Info Upon Restore from Time Machine Backup

I tried to drag & drop the iTunes music folder from my backup external drive (time machine backup) into my current iTunes music library. The files copied OK but most of the tag info (artist, album, genre, etc.) was lost. Also, the system placed a two digit number in front of the song title. Does anyone know why this happened or what I did wrong?

In the event that you have a failure with your drive, you want to drag the entire iTunes folder back to the computer after things are repaired. In this folder you will find a database file (iTunes Library) along with the iTunes Music folder. It sounds like you only copied the iTunes Music folder, not the iTunes folder that it sits in.
If you copy that whole folder, then you can restore your entire library as it was including play lists, counts, ratings, etc. and all the WAV file tags.
You might try converting one of the WAV files to AIFF and to Apple Lossless, update the tags in both, then remove them from your library but don't let them get deleted off the hard drive. Now add them both back in and see if the tag info is retained. Off the top of my head I only recall WAV for sure not saving this info, but AIFF might and I am pretty sure Apple Loss does. AIFF has the advantage of being universal but will retain the same file size as WAV. Apple Lossless has the advantage of somewhat smaller file size, but may not be easily transferable to other non-Mac systems. All three type (wav, aiff, and lossless) are lossless formats, so all give you the same quality as the original from which you got them.
If AIFF and Apple LL both retain the metadata, then you might consider switching to one of those if quality is your number one priority. Although my own opinion is 320kbps MP3 would sound plenty good, but then I only rip my stuff to 192kbps MP3s, so perhaps I just am not as picky as a lot of people.
Cheers,
Patrick

Editing Tags in itunes - does tag info stay with file?

I have a question about editing tags in itunes, hopefully I can explain myself clearly enough here...
I have a very large music collection...almost 10,000 files now, and have spent alot of time editing the tags, renaming mispelled artists and song names etc...my question is, when that tag is edited, will all that tag info remain intact when I copy the actual mp3's to another computer? I want to back all the music up to my laptop, which is running same version of itunes, but I don't want to have to start over again with editing the tags. When I initially put the files on my computer the tags were really messed.
Thanks for any info.

Here is the last list I've had of attributes and were they reside:
For M4A and MP3 files... (WAV files do not have tags)
These are only in the iTunes Library files (ITL & XML):
-- Playlists
-- Ratings
-- Play Count
-- Last Played
-- Date Added
-- Date Modified
-- Equalizer
-- Volume Adjustment
These are stored in the music file itself:
-- Artist
-- Album
-- Song Title
-- Year
-- Comments
-- Compilation tag
-- Lyrics
-- Genre
-- Grouping
-- Volume Adjustment (a special iTunes only tag in the file - non-standard)
-- Composer
-- Bit Rate (not a tag - inherent to the file itself)
-- BPM
-- Kind (not a tag - inherent to the file itself)
-- Album Art (only stored in the file - not copied to the iTunes Library ITL or XML files)
Best of Luck

ID3v2.4 tag info Year in iPod Classic

Although maintained all my files according to title - Year - Artist - song Nr., and having these info also as separated ID3-Tag info available,
first: iTunes "converts some files (without asking me) to Artist-Title
second: after sync on my new iPod classic (80GB) I do not find the year as separate category. Even the single title seem to have "lost" the year information.
How to I get the year-info maintained in the files and visible in iTunes 7.6 and how do I prevent iTunes to "build-up" new filenames and entries for the title? (I use Tag&Rename 3.4.6 from Softpointer.com to maintain the ID3-Tag Information in the mp3-files)

Regarding iTunes renaming the tracks, have you tried unchecking "Keep itunes Music Folder Organized" under the Advanced tab of Preferences?
As far as maintaining the "Year" info, I've had no issues with the info disappearing. However, if the column is not showing up in your list of songs in iTunes, go to View > View options and make sure there is a check next "Year". If you are looking for Year on the iPod, you're out of luck - you can search by artist, album, song, or genre. You can create playlists by year, decade, etc.

Will my photos still show tag info etc when I upgrade to 13

I am about to upgrade from Elements 12 to 13...will all my photos in organiser retain all the tag info , events etc?

I am assuming you'll install Elements 13 in the same computers which holds your Elements 12 and your pictures.
When you'll install the new version, a dialog window will open and ask you to confirm if you want to convert your old catalog. You'll agree and a new catalog in the PSE13 format will be created from the old one, with the same name. The old catalog will be renamed with a ' 1' extension and still be useable from PSE12. Everything should be restored just like before.

Missing ID Tags & Other Problems with Music Transfers

Hello,
I have been having some inconsistent problems with adding songs to my main iTunes Music Folder. Occasionally, songs will transfer without some of the ID tag information, despite the transfer (or consolidate) method used. Let me explain...
My main 30000 song and 170 GB iTunes database is located on my PowerMac G5 1.8 GHz DP at home. I usually rip small portions of my CDs on the road via my PowerBook G4 1.5 GHz (assuring that all of the tag information is correct). Once home, I transfer the iTunes Music Folder (usually only 1 GB big) from my PowerBook to the Desktop of my G5. From there, I drag the folder onto my iTunes window and allow it to duplicate directly into my large iTunes Music Folder. Once done, I delete the temporary iTunes Music Folder from both the PowerBook and the G5. I also delete the iTunes Library and iTunes Music Library.xml files from my PowerBook before starting up the process with another batch of CDs. This is how I have built most of this database and only recently begun to have problems. The problem songs always retain the song name and, since I have always used the default ID tag setting, most songs show version 2.2 to 2.4.
In my troubleshooting, I tried to make completely new iTunes Library and iTunes Music Library.xml files by using this same method with my entire main iTunes Music Folder (yes, it took a long time to finish and I had a clone for backup). Suprisingly, almost 10% of those songs suffered from the same problem! Reattempts with smaller transfers showed no change. In this process, I also noted that some song files transferred, but showed NO signs in the new iTunes Library!
As I am a big fan of the iTunes AppleScripts by Doug Adams, I have ways to discover and correct these problems. However, I still would like to find out what is causing it. Does any of this sound familiar to anyone? Would converting every song to the ID tag version 2.4 make any difference? Obviously, this is my most prized database of information and I want to protect it, as well as administer any preventitive maintenance that it needs for good health.
If we learn from our mistakes, then I obtained my PhD years ago,
Dr. Z.

It shouldn't matter what size your library is - if the information is in your files then it should get imported.
1. Are you sure your problematic mp3 files are in fact valid mp3 files? If you open Terminal.app, and type this (substituting your mp3):
hexdump -C -n 30 ~/Desktop/Sample.mp3
You should see some hex & ASCII come back - for example:
00000000 49 44 33 03 00 00 00 03 13 68 54 59 45 52 00 00 |ID3......hTYER..|
00000010 00 15 00 00 01 fe ff ff ff 00 7f 00 7f 00 |..............|
All id3v2 mp3's begin with "ID3" and the 4th byte represents the id3v2 tag version (2,2, 2.2.1, 2.3, 2.4); mp3's with an id3v1 headers are a little odd, but they generally begin with "FF FB" or "FF FA". I've seen moov files masquerading... all kinds of things. These won't hold tag data, and so would exhibit the behavior you describe. I myself got duped into making these abominations by using QuickTime to select a chunk of an mp3 and renaming to "file.mp3" - when it was a full blown quicktime movie that it really exported as.
2. Are you sure the information exists within your file at all? All tags get written back into the file (except I think rating and certainly playcount). You can use any number of utilities to get at the data, some easy (python/perl utilities) or that require compiling (id3lib, taglib). You can get use the above method (with a longer number than 30) or a hex editor and look for the values manually as well.
Using for example PyID3 (http://icepick.info/projects_old/pyid3/), download & extract; open a Terminal.app window and type:
export PYTHONPATH=/Some/path/to/YOUR/PyID3_folder
(or you can just type up the the = and drag-n-drop the folder onto the window & hit return. Then type:
python -c 'import id3'
Then in the examples folder, drag-n-drop the "listid3v2.py" script onto that same terminal window/session, and then an mp3 file (and hit return). If whatever information is missing from there, it isn't in your file. Note: PyID3 might have some issues with a v2.4 tag (specifically year is carried on the TDRC tag, and TYER is obsoleted). You can get an v2.4-enabled id3lib binary here:
http://members.verizon.net/pucklock/id3Infiltr8/IDInfiltr8.htm
Find "id3info" in the support folder, and drag-n-drop that binary onto a Terminal.app window, followed by your mp3 file. It should spit back all your info (except Grouping). The application itself should do much the same, just not the full breadth of tags available - just use it on copies.
3. Converting to a different tag version wouldn't impact most tags (year being 1 major exception) - the other conversions (latin1, unicode, blahblah) woudn't change anything if you use mainly ASCII text. It could if you're big into Ukranian Progressive Polka - and used Cyrillic to tag everything.

JSP tag libs problem

Hi,
I'm using iWS 4.1 on W2K. When I try to run jsp page that is using custom

In manuals I found that is becouse taglib.tld is broken
but my is ok, I can use it with tomcat, so it must be iWS problem I gues.

Hi,
I found why I coudn't use taglibs.
It is becouse I added jaxp to classpath and iWS is using old xml parser.
I moved jaxp from global server classpath to context classpath and
now it works.

Missing tag info?

iTunes was working just fine two days ago, but yesterday I noticed that a nice chunk of my songs weren't being fully recognized my iTunes. The songs are in the list, it gives me the song name and album art, but nothing more. No album name, no artists, nothing. The songs play fine, they just won't sort because iTunes isn't recognizing the info or something...
To check what might be the problem, I opened all of my music in Windows Media Player. That program seems to be reading them just fine.
Any suggestions? Or does anyone need any more information?
Thank you!

Thank you SO much! It wasn't quite what you suggested, but it did have to do with the tags. Mine were, for some reason, ID3v2.4. I made them that way a LONG time ago. And now, for some reason, iTunes won't touch them! I can't edit anything on them. So, I downloaded a program that converts them back to ID3v2.3 for me, and they work fine. All of their information is back and everything! Thank you for tipping me off to the tag incompatibilities.
Although I do think that it is weird that iTunes doesn't support something it promotes, haha.
