Tags are messed up

I went into iTunes today and found that all my tags are screwed up -- some songs are showing play counts of -1089144256, "My Ratings" are all wrong, and my Groupings are wrong. Since a number of my Smart Playlists are tied to my ratings & groupings, my playlists are worthless. What caused this to happen? Is there any way to restore the old tags? I have a month-old text file of my library as a reference, but that will be a big project to update the tags on my 2500 songs.
I recently updgraded the firmware on my 20GB I-pod & added a few smart playlists -- other than that I haven't made any changes.

What caused this to happen?
Some kind of weird incompatibility between the iPod and iTunes versions. It's happened to a few people. Not entirely sure what causes it. One way to prevent it seems to be to Update and/or Restore the iPod using the latest iPod Updater software, then sync it with iTunes again. This seems to fix whatever the deal is and probably prevents it from happening again.
Is there any way to restore the old tags?
No. I have a script to fix the odd playcounts for you, but it just zero's them out. The data is gone, and putting it back from your text file is probably your best bet.
Groupings, BTW, are saved in the files' tags themselves. This iPod syncing issue can't mess those up, it only affects playcount, rating, and last played time. So you may have some other kind of problem there.
Try a Get Info on some of your tracks and see if that forces them to get corrected Groupings from the files.

I have an iPhone 4 on IOS5. I signed up for itunes match. After everything uploaded to the cloud, my songs are messed up. I'll select a song and the title will show with the right art work but a different song will start playing. Anyone have a solution?

I have an iPhone 4 on IOS5. I signed up for itunes match. After everything uploaded to the cloud, my songs are messed up. I'll select a song and the title will show with the right art work but a different song will start playing. Some songs won't play at all even though they do appear in the itunes store. The artwork almost always shows u blank until you turn it to landscape then it will appear. Anyone know what's going on?

I have found that scrolling through the album list (past albums without art) triggers the progress wheel next to the wifi symbol. You can scroll quickly through the whole collection and then wait! Artwork will appear gradually...
However, repeat visits to the Music App might initially show no artwork again, but it might spontaneously appear more quickly this time. The bad news is that the whole Music App is now sluggish as ****...

Upgraded to iTunes 11. Now, I can not sync my music to my iPhone 4S (iOS 6.0.1) Apps, movies and videos sync OK. Music is the problem. Tags are correctly check-marked. Any ideas ???

Since downloading itunes 10 my ipod's features are messed up. Currently I'm looking to delete apps. They no longer appear on left side of itunes screen. I try to click on apps on top of screen but apps are in a shadow mode and I can't click on them.

Since downloading itunes 10 my ipod's features are messed up and many do not now work. Currently my problem is I want to delete some apps. It no longer shows on the left side of itunes. When I click on apps at the top, the apps appear shadowed and i cannot click on them. If I check the box to sync them it says I will lose what's on my ipod and the things in my library will replace them. What should I do?

If you are completely confident that you didn't hide it, then you purchased those with different apple id. If you completely confident that you purchases with same apple id then you have hidden it. One of the other or you are speaking about a miracle. While miracles are possible they are not very likely. Remember

I updated my ipod touch to 5.0.1 but now all my artists in my music are messed up. Help?

I updated my ipod touch to 5.0.1., and it works great except for one thing. All my artists are messed up, it's like my ipod while it was updating, took the time to go online and look up exactly who sang what. For example i had tons of disney songs, like the lion king's circle of life, the little mermaid's kiss the girl, ect into one artist that i named "Disney". But now they are all seperated into "Lion King Soundtrack" and that kind of stuff. Also, for example this one band, NeverShoutNever has many ways to write their name: Never Shout Never, NeverShoutNever!, NEVERSHOUTNEVER, and in my ipod they are all put as 3 different artists. But on my itunes playlists it doesn't do that.
How can i put it back like i had it? It's very annoying and very confusing. Please help!

You can try unsyncing all the music and then resyncing. Sometimes that works. Sometimes not. This ia problem with iOS 5/iTunes 10.5

In XML Output the values of Number column tags are not displayed properly

Hi,
Our Client have been using AR Invoice Print Program for a long time and it is heavily customized. Also they are using an old version of the RDF. So we have taken the latest version of the RDF (RAXINV.rdf) for Oracle Apps 11.5.10.2 by raising a SR and implement Client's old RAXINV.rdf into it.
All was ok, but when we are running the program, the XML Output did not generate properly. For the Q_INVOICE query (G_ORDER_BY, G_INVOICE and G_INV_TERM group), the value of some of the scaler number columns are not appeared properly. The tags are coming correctly, but the value is appearing as '*', instead of the correct value. We have checked in the RDF Level (By putting srw.message and check in the log file) that those columns are having proper value. So there is no issue with the RDF.
But because of the above mentioned problem, the some of the PDF output field values also is not generated correctly.
I think that because of the lexical parameters which was implementing the Q_INVOICE query (&COMMON_QUERY) this issue is coming. Because the issue is only in the Q_INVOICE query group (G_ORDER_BY, G_INVOICE and in G_INV_TERM group) not in any other query group.
There is no problem with the scaler character columns. The issue is only with the number columns.
Also we have checked that if we hardcode the value of the number columns in the above mentioned lexical parameter, this problem doesn't appear.
If we put TO_CHAR function to those number columns in the lexical parameter (COMMON_QUERY), then this issue get solved. But we can't do it because of performance issue and also Client won't approve it.
Please help.
With Thanks and Regards

I don't know how to read the code you pasted or I would have checked this myself.
Do your fields in the internal table reference dictionary objects or elementary types? If not using dictionary types, the column names will be blank by default. If you can't change your fields to be dictionary types, you can try this to change the column names:
I made a method inside my local class to add the names:
        call method set_colname
          EXPORTING iv_tab = alv_tab
                    iv_colid = 'xxxx' "fieldname from the table
                    iv_stxt = text-t54
                    iv_mtxt = text-t55
                    iv_ltxt = text-t55.
METHOD set_colname .
data:
          alv_cols type REF TO cl_salv_columns_table,
          alv_col type REF TO cl_salv_column.
TRY .
*... Change fieldnames
        call METHOD iv_tab->get_columns RECEIVING value = alv_cols.
        call method alv_cols->get_column EXPORTING columnname = iv_colid RECEIVING value = alv_col.
        IF iv_stxt <> ''.
          CALL METHOD alv_col->set_short_text EXPORTING value = iv_stxt.
        ENDIF.
        IF iv_mtxt <> ''.
          CALL METHOD alv_col->set_medium_text EXPORTING value = iv_mtxt.
        ENDIF.
        IF iv_ltxt <> ''.
          CALL METHOD alv_col->set_long_text EXPORTING value = iv_ltxt.
        ENDIF.
   CATCH cx_salv_not_found.
ENDTRY.

Faces tags are not rendering

I am using JDeveloper 10.1.3.. I have a rather dynamic web page, so I decided to do everything in the servlet. I write out everything for the jsf page from the servlet. Here is what I have:
PrintWriter out = response.getWriter();
out.println("<%@ tablib uri='http://java.sun.com/jsf/html' prefix='h' %>");
out.println("<%@ tablib url='http://java.sun.com/jsf/core' prefix='f' %>");

out.println("<html>");
out.println("<head><title>Servlet1</title></head>");
out.println("<body>");
out.println("Prompt1: <h:inputText id='p1' value='hey' />");
out.println("<br>");
out.println("Prompt2: <h:inputText id='p2' value='yohey' />");
out.println("</body></html></f:view>");
out.close();
I run the servlet with in JDeveloper. The page is rendered but none of the jsf tags are rendered. I have no input fields. Why?
When I do a view source from my browser IE 6.0 I get the following:

Quotes in attributes in a custom tag are failing in weblogic 5.1

This seems to be on and off behaviour but when my tags are failing I
          have traced it down to the fact that my attributes have quotes in
          them. (By the way I'm running weblogic 5.1 with service pack 10)
          ie:
          <a:foo bar="<%=req.getParemeter("biz")%>">. Escaping the internal
          quotes doesn't seem to help the matter at all.
          After many hours of racking my brain to try and figure out why the
          tags were failing I found a message somewhere in this group which said
          they had the same issue and worked around it by using single qoutes
          around any attribute with a qoute in it ie: <a:foo
          bar='<%=req.getParemeter("biz")%>'>. This work around worked for me as
          well but leaves me with 2 important questions.
          a) According to weblogic this is issue (and I quote from their
          website) "CR 34389: Escaping Quotes was not working in the value tag
          for JSP params; The JSP spec says that quotations (") are to be
          escaped with \" . Fixed quoting problems for double and single quotes.
          " This was supposedly fixed in service pack 9, I'm running service
          pack 10 so what gives???
          b) Since this single qoute thing is not in the JSP spec if I keep it
          like this to get my tags working under my current setup and then we
          eventually migrate to weblogic 6x is there a risk all my tags will
          break?

My catalogues and tags are missing from my Organizer in Photoshop Elements 10? What is going on?

My catalogues and tags are missing from my Organizer in Elements 10. What is going on?

Thank you for the advice. I have a PC and the catalogs were for the most part where you said they would be, on the C drive under Program Data\Adobe\Elements Organizer\Catalogs. The last six months folder as well as a cruise I took in 2012 is missing but the rest seems to be there. Now I seem to have two Organizers-the one I just found and the one I created with my March 2013 trip pictures. How do I put them together and find them when I click on the Photoshop elements Organizer icon? You mentioned “pointing “ PSE to it in the default mode? How do I do that?

Compilations are messed up in iTunes 11

Since upgrading to iTunes 11 my compilation albums are messed up into individual artist per song. They were fine in v. 8,9 & 10. I've checked that the sort artist, sort album artist & album artist fields are blank & that "part of a compilation" is ticked.
Help, please!

Setting Album Artist to Various Artists should merge things back together.
Alternatively go to the Songs view, enable the column browser (ctrl-b or alt will open the menus), and experiment with the setting of View > Column Browser > Group compilations.

Podcast explicit tags are not being recognized

I'm using Squarespace as my website host, and have followed their instructions to insert the iTunes Explicit tag into our feed before submitting to the iTunes store. Unfortunately, after extensive testing with Squarespace support, the tags are being read properly in the XML feed, but each time I attempt to submit via iTunes, the Explicit tag is not recognized. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Here is a copy of the XML output (provided by Squarespace support)

Tags are not found when typing a keyword into the location bar

Previously when I typed a tag into the address bar - tagged bookmarks would show up. Now very rarely does this happen and instead search engine search terms show up.
To search for tags/keywords I now have to open the bookmarks and do a search in there. Very inconvenient... it suks big time. WTF happened?
Thanks Joe

I think I am on the way to an answer. I turned off ALL add-ons and tags are now showing up in adress bar searches.
Thanks! :-)

Tags are not transferring over to other computer using same login

I use two computers to access the same email account on Thunderbird. I have the same tags set up on both. For over a year now I have been able to tag an email on one computer and it will appear tagged on the other computer as well. However, just recently this has stopped happening. The tags I have applied on one computer no longer show up on the other computer. Any ideas on how to fix it?

If you create a new folder with one message, then tag it, does the tag appear on the other computer? Since tags are stored in the folder index files, the non-working folders may have corrupted indexes (which might be fixed by right-clicking the folder, Properties, Repair Folder). Backup first in case the Repair function misbehaves.

E50 voice tags are not cteated

Hello all
I've got Nokia E50 and 360 contacts. My contacts name are written in Russian. When I copy the contacts from the memory card the first 100 contacts the voice tags are created only for first 100 numbers.
I've installed the latest firmaware 07.36.0.0 - the same result. My friend has got the same phone and he reported no problem with voice tags. He has more than 100 contact and everyone has voice tags. We copied MY CONTACTS to HIS PHONE and HIS CONTACTS to my one. His contacts in my phone have voice tags, but my contacts in his phone - no.
We analized our contacts and found the only difference - my contact's names are stored in russian, but his - in english. I converted all my contacts in english and now all my contacts have voice tags.
But I want russian names! Why 100 russian contacts have voice tags, but other don't have?
did anybody see smth like this?

Thanks Mohjo,
Your reply is much appreciated.
I did do several searches but not for SIND or N series phones. didn't know it was called that.
Anyhow, I understand what it does but still think its rubish
What was wrong with the old 'record your own voice tag' system?
OWI!, Nokia!, NO!. If it ant' broke, don't fix it!.
I now the the task of going through all my contacts to check if the voice tag the phone wants to use is ANYTHING like the one I want to use.
It's taken the edge of showing off my new phone to me mates and saying look what mine does. And yes I am shallow.
And its only costing me £20 a month.
