Track information keeps changing

I have been having this problem for awhile. Every few months or so after I play a track, the album artist category which I always leave blank will be filled with the artists name. The same thing happens with the comments category, however it is much more annoying with the album artist category because it messes up the sorting.
I have deleted any information from these categories for every track in my iTunes, and in many cases I have even altered the source file's information. I am not sure how it keeps coming back. Any ideas?

Windows Media Player is probably doing this. Doesn't matter if you never use WMP - its default settings allow webpages to open WMP in the background without you even knowing.
You need to turn this auto-update "feature" off in WMP in 4 places.
Player tab: everything unchecked so WMP won't touch your files
Library tab: everything unchecked, esp the box to retrieve info from the internet
Privacy tab: everything unchecked, esp the box to update files
Security tab: everything unchecked so web pages can't launch WMP in the background
You also need to check these 4 settings after every windows update that includes a WMP update, because it has reset them back to some of the defaults, I have noticed.

  • Trackpad tracking speed keeps changing

    I see lots of posts with trackpad issues, but I can't find one about this problem.
    If I plug into an external mouse into my computer, which I do when working on my external monitor, when I unplug the mouse the speed setting on the trackpad changes.
    It doesn't change to the mouse speed setting, it changes to something totally random. This happens whether the mouse was a generic USB wired mouse, or my Logitech wireless.
    Not a show stopper, but really, really annoying.
    Any insights appreciated!

    I don't know about Mountain Lion but I used to use Tiger (OS X v10.4) and it had crazy, complex and unnatural (to me) mouse acceleration. Perhaps that's what you're referring to? Back then there were a few replacement mouse preference panes and mouse drivers available which improved things to some degree, but it wasn't an easy thing to change because of the (very bad) way the mouse acceleration feature was implemented.
    I don't know if Apple has either changed the mouse acceleration or made it more straight-forward to customize since then.

  • Volume tracks keep changing

    hi,
    Although I don't have any automation or any continuos controller for the volume of the tracks they keep changing.
    any advice?
    Thanks in advance.

    I had the same problem for SO long, until just now. Midi tracks would jump up in Volume at certain points, and I couldn't control.
    Found the answer (for my issue, at least) here: http://www.logicprohelp.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=71347
    Now my remaining question is, how can I PREVENT Volume events from being written in? Cause looking at one midi track's events right now, I'd have to go thru the list and delete about 15 different volume events for the volume to not jump around on me...
    I think I have Midi Volume assigned to a fader on my midi keyboard... not to figure out how to unlearn that assignment...

  • How to keep track of the changes done in ALV GRID Report

    Hi Experts,
    how to keep track of the changed record in ALV GRID Report. how to set the field to be editable even for the entire row also. Can anybody guide along with code also?...
    Valuable answers will be rewarded.
    Thanks,
    Satish.

    Hi,
    Access the table through SM30. It comes blank as standard. Click "New Entries" and make entries for changes to be tracked. For example, whenever an org. unit changes 002 and 003 relationship, you will make entries like:
    01 O 1001 B002 Activate box checked
    01 O 1001 B003 Activate box checked
    Here, 01 is your active plan version, O is org. unit, 1001 is infotype and B002 and B003 are the subtypes. You can also use * for infotype and subtype which means every change will be logged.
    If you then run the report RHCDOC_DISPLAY through SA38, it will pick up all the changes pertaining to B002 and B003 relationship for org. units (in the above example).
    Similarly, you can set up this table for other object types.
    For more information, follow SPRO>Personnel Management>OM>Basic Settings>Activate change documents and go through the documentation for that node. Also, read up the documentation for the report.
    Hope this helps.

  • Songs in itunes keep changing information.

    It generally happens after I play them, they'll revert back to their original info. It tends to be MP3s downloaded from Vuze, but it is happening to a few AAC files too (including ones from CDs). I've tried converting ID3 tags but they keep changing back, tried changing the info in windows explorer but still seems to change back. There's one album that I've changed enough times that it has stayed the same, could it be a case of doing that (seems incredibly long winded. It's taken me long enough to get through half the tracks let alone think of doing them all several times over). If anyone could suggest anything that would be awesome, thanks.

    Please read this whole message before doing anything.
    This procedure is a diagnostic test. It won’t solve your problem. Don’t be disappointed when you find that nothing has changed after you complete it.
    The purpose of this test is to determine whether the problem is localized to your user account. Enable guest logins* and log in as Guest. Don't use the Safari-only “Guest User” login created by “Find My Mac.”
    While logged in as Guest, you won’t have access to any of your documents or settings. Applications will behave as if you were running them for the first time. Don’t be alarmed by this behavior; it’s normal. If you need any passwords or other personal data in order to complete the test, memorize, print, or write them down before you begin.
    Test while logged in as Guest. Same problem?
    After testing, log out of the guest account and, in your own account, disable it if you wish. Any files you created in the guest account will be deleted automatically when you log out of it.
    *Note: If you’ve activated “Find My Mac” or FileVault in OS X 10.7 or later, then you can’t enable the Guest account. The "Guest User" login created by "Find My Mac" is not the same. Create a new account in which to test, and delete it, including its home folder, after testing.

  • ITunes won't save changed track information

    I am trying to edit and save track information (album name, # of #, etc...), including adding artwork, but no artwork ever gets added and when I click on the track to read the information, after editing it, it reverts back to the original information, except for the # of # and album artist. Those are the only 2 items that stay changed. I cant seem to change the album name, cant delete the comments and can't add artwork. My iPod Classic shows the original info, not the edited info, including no artwork.
    This has never happened to me before. Any suggestions?
    Message was edited by: lafromla1

    Ok, so I've narrowed it down to the folder containing the files has the read-only box completely shaded in (as opposed to a check mark). I can not, under any circumstances get this box to stay unshaded. I un-shade it, apply, go out, and when I come back, its shaded again. I've scoured the net looking for a fix and no one seems to have one that works. I am not sure how all my files on my computer got to this status as they were never like this before.
    Has any one else had this problem and found a way around it?

  • ITunes updating track information?

    Hey, I've had a problem for a while, not sure how long, but I have the most recent version of iTunes and it seems that every couple of months or so iTunes will automatically change track information on some of my songs. This is a real drag because for a lot of the albums it will remove the album covers and I'll have to embark upon a crusade on the internet to get them all back.
    At first I thought the album art was the only thing it was touching but then I noticed it was also changing some of the album info....for example, on the American Beauty album I have by the Grateful Dead, it would keep the first half of the album as it was, American Beauty by Grateful Dead, but would change the second half to be American Beauty by The Grateful Dead. Also, for the Super Session album by Al Kooper, Mike Bloomfield, and Stephen Stills, it changed the Album Artist for all the tracks from "Al Kooper, Mike Bloomfield, and Stephen Stills" to "Kooper/Bloomfield/Stills." All of my music is legal, and from CD's, I don't have anything from the iTunes store. Is there a way to disable this auto-update feature, I've looked through the preferences and couldn't find anything. Thanks for any help.

    Yeah, it also inserted the album title "The Mama's and the Papa's" for the only Mama's and the Papa's song I have, California Dreaming, even though I just had the album field blank.

  • Track Info Constantly Changing

    I go through all my song / album information in iTunes (Windows 7), right mouse click on the track and/or album and click the Edit Info that appears in the pop up menu.  I spend a lot of time going through to organize my track listing information so I can find the information in my iPod Classic.  After a couple days (sometimes a week or two, sometimes a day or two), all of this information that I edited is gone in iTunes.  It is reset to the original information from when I purchased the items and all of my customization is gone, requiring me to go back and do it all over again.
    Why does this keep happening?  I saw on some web searches that it was Windows Media Player updating the track information, but I have everything turned off in Windows Media Player and have no library setup for Media Player to manage but yet, iTunes is still constantly changing.
    What else could be doing this and how do I stop it?
    Any help is appreciated

    In iTunes go to Edit > Preferences > Store and turn off
    Show iTunes in the Cloud purchases
    Share details about your library with Apple
    On any iOS device go to Settings > Music and turn off
    Show All Music
    Close and reopen iTunes and/or reset the device and you should see your version of the metadata for each track rather than the original store data.

  • Track Master Data Changes for Multiple countries

    Hi experts,
    I am in a Global HR Implementation & Rollout Project. We are creating Outbound Interfaces for 3 countries to export pay, time and general data to the 3rd party systems in those local countries. (Payroll is outsourced there).
    As well as sending New Joiners data every month, we need to send Changers data also to all those 3rd partys every month before the Payroll runs.
    I know 2 solution for this :
    a). Using Change Documents - Tcode : SCDO ..etc
    b). Using the report RPUAUD00.
    c). Using RBDMIDOC.
    Query :
    1). Are these the only solutions ?
    2). Whats the best solution for doing this for a Global Rollout project ? I need to track master data change for different countries for different set of Infotypes and fields. I need to send those Changers data as well as the New Joiners data through the Outbound Interface to all the local countries.
    This year we are doing for 3 countires, next year for 9 more countries, etc. Whats the best solution keeping this in mind ?
    Restrictions :
    1). Our Client HRs dont want us to disturb the report RPUAUD00 as they use that regularlly and want the flexibility to configure the configs themselves.
    2). If I must need to create and activate Change Documents for ALL individual fields, is there an easy way of doing this ?
    3). I need to send this Changers data from SAP to Legacy system, so dont know if RBDMIDOC will be a good solution for this. Any comments ?
    Just want the best possible and feasible solution for this issue.
    I will be please to allot point to anyone who gives a good solution.
    Moreover will be Thankfull also !!
    Cheers.

    Please try with transaction code "PC00_M02_LINF0"

  • Sequence and clip name keeps changing... Why ? Solutions ?

    The sequence and clip name on a particular project keeps changing. It usually takes the name of of an audio file. Deleting the preferences, opening the timeline in a new project, making it offline and reconnecting it again, et. all doesn't help ? What is causing this ? HELP
    Mac Pro Quad core
    Memory 8GB
    Storage - XSAN
    FCP version 7.0
    OS X version 10.5.8
    Quicktime 10 & 7.66 both installed
    Anyone has a solution for this....
    Jp

    I made the sequence off line and save it as a new project. Then deleted the preferences and opened the project..... reconnected the media. Most of the clips showed the correct clip name and the sequence name also didn't change. But a few audio tracks still had the old problem....
    Thanks for the reply.... haven't updated yet..

  • [SOLVED] Network interface name keeps changing

    My network interface name keeps changing between wlp2s0 and wlan0. This is a real pain, since I never know what name will be generated at boot. Most of the time it's called wlp2s0, so this is what netctl is set up to handle by itself. At boots were wlan0 is generated I have to connect manually.
    I've tried making the name static by adding a rule to the /etc/udev/rules.d/10-network.rules. The rule i added was:
    SUBSYSTEM=="net", ACTION=="add", ATTR{address}=="48:5d:60:7e:64:e9", NAME="wlp2s0"
    Wlp2s0 is generated at boot alright, but I still have to connect manually with this solution. As if the "new" wlp2s0 is not recognized as the old one (same MAC). What gives?
    This is on an Asus Eee 1001PXD, with the Qualcomm Atheros AR9285.

    I've now been able to replicate the issue, and run the command:
    journalctl -b
    I did find the output:
    mai 18 02:30:02 <hostname> systemd-udevd[126]: error changing net interface name wlan0 to wlp2s0: Device or resource busy
    I haven't been able to process the whole output yet (I'll continue tomorrow if necessary), but I've found some things that I hope will clearify things. I get similar outputs to the following a lot throughout:
    mai 18 02:30:03 <hostname> dhcpcd[237]: wlan0: carrier lost
    mai 18 02:30:03 <hostname> dhcpcd[237]: wlan0: waiting for carrier

    mai 18 02:30:04 <hostname> systemd[1]: Starting Network.
    mai 18 02:30:04 <hostname> systemd[1]: Reached target Network.
    EDIT:
    I see now that this is later in time, so that's not so strange after all. I'll look some more.
    EDIT2:
    The error code that a name change i impossible is the first time the term 'wlan0' occurs in the log. However there's a line much earlier that talks about wlp2s0:
    mai 18 02:29:59 <hostname> systemd[1]: Expecting device sys-subsystem-net-devices-wlp2s0.device...
    But as I said, if this information doesn't help, I'll have a closer look at the output tomorrow. Getting late here in Norway now.

  • How do I update/refresh track information for mp3 files already on my the comput

    I recently started using MediaSource after buying a Zen Touch and noticed that one (possibly more, I haven't screened all the?files I've burned) of the CD directories doesn't show the track information in MediaSource. I don't know why, when I go to the file directly on my computer all the information is there. I thought correcting the problem would be a simple matter of identifying the tracks without information and getting Gracenote to tag them, but I can't find any way to do this, and I've spent a lot of time looking.
    In searching this forum I've found other users with similar problems but no solution. To keep this simple, I will ask the question in the most direct manner I can:?How do I get track information for mp3 files already on my computer?Please note that I'm not asking how to get track information for CD's I'm burning, these are files that have been on my computers for years. Can somebody please help? I'm quite frustrated that what I thought would be an easy to apply feature of MediaSource is proving so difficult.

    Go to Settings>Store>Apple ID. Make sure that your current ID is set in there.
    You can also try logging out of FaceTime - Settings>FaceTime>Apple ID. Tap that ID and sign out. Sign in with the correct ID.

  • TS1468 Why can't I edit album track information in the INFO window, and more to the next track without having to do each track seperate?

    In iTunes 10, I could edit multiple track information in the (Info) tab and click to move to the next track within that album. Now with iTunes 11.1.3.8, I have to do each track seperate. It will not let me edit track information (as if track numbering), and click next to move to another track within the same album. It's a pain to have to do each song , and then click on the next song I want to edit. My music library is 171 GB (47,185 files & 19,498 folders). I can find the Duplicate files, but I can't edit like I use to in iTunes 10. Any help in this matter would be greatly appreicated!!!!! I will be an old man at the rate I'm going now.

    Either select a single track, Get Info, then use the Next/Previous buttons to move between them, or select multiple tracks, Get Info, and edit common properties. The next and previous buttons do not appear in multi-track Get Info (and never have).
    Regarding duplicates, Apple's official advice is here... HT2905 - How to find and remove duplicate items in your iTunes library. It is a manual process and the article fails to explain some of the potential pitfalls.
    Use Shift > View > Show Exact Duplicate Items to display duplicates as this is normally a more useful selection. You need to manually select all but one of each group to remove. Sorting the list by Date Added may make it easier to select the appropriate tracks, however this works best when performed immediately after the dupes have been created.  If you have multiple entries in iTunes connected to the same file on the hard drive then don't send to the recycle bin. Use my DeDuper script if you're not sure, don't want to do it by hand, or want to preserve ratings, play counts and playlist membership. See this thread for background and please take note of the warning to backup your library before deduping.

  • Missing track information over Airplay

    I use AirPlay to stream my iTunes music library from a Mac mini acting as a media server, to a Denon RCD-N7 (with AirPlay update). This worked perfectly, including all of the information about the current track being displayed on the Denon. However, after upgrading iTunes to 10.6.1, the track information is no longer displayed, or is displayed incorrectly and incomplete, that is, either:
    only the AirPlay logo is displayed, or
    only the artist name for the previous track and the AirPlay logo are displayed
    If I toggle the AirPlay setting in iTunes between 'Computer' and 'Denon RCD-N7', I can get the artist name of the current track to display, but it doesn't get changed when the next track is played.
    Has anybody else seen this kind of problem, and if so can you advise how to fix it?
    Thanks,
    North

    This turned out to be a problem with the Denon RCD-N7, not with iTunes or AirPlay. Fully powering down the RCD-N7 down (i.e. unplugging the power cable) then restarting it, resolved the problem.
