TS1468 Some suggestions here don't work for specialist music libraries.

Let me give an example. My main interest is classical music, particularly choral and vocal music which I also perform.
I'm just loading into iTunes the Collector's Edition of Ralph Vaughan Williams - a set of 30CDs.
CD1, for instance is simple. It contains one complete work, A Sea Symphony. Loaded into iTunes it is the first playlist in a folder called RVW Collector's Edition, and saves as a complete album. Both playlist and album are named 1 - Sea Symphony.
But CD22 is just the opposite. It consists of 29 songs performed by 12 different performers or groups of performers. It is playlist 22 - Songs and Choral Folksongs. You can guess how many albums it makes!
In some cases, several tracks have the same orchestra and conductor and different soloists.
I have about 600Gb of music in my iTunes folder [lives on a dedicated external drive] consisting of some 19,000 tracks. The main performers [choir / orchestra / conductor] are listed in the Artist field  because when I loaded the first few albums into iTunes years ago, that's where Mr Apple put them. So for consistency I have continued that habit, and list the other performers, eg soloists under Album Artists.
I can't delete the names of the Album Artists - I often want to compare performances by different performers to help me learn and understand a work, to choose other recordings by those performers, or even to buy tickets for their concerts.
All I want to do is for ME to decide what tracks are included in a any given album. and NOT Mr Apple.
Yes, there has to be a default – but why can't EIHER Apple give us a "Custom Albam" option?  Or maybe someone like Doug Adams [whose Applescripts for iTunes are part of my essential toolkit] write an app or script to do it?

First, launch Safari and open Preferences > Security and disable the "Warn when visiting a fraudulent website" if you haven't already done so; then quit Safari.
Next, do these in order:
1. Go to ~/Library/Safari and remove (do not delete) these items:
• Downloads.plist
• History.plist
• LastSession.plist
2. Go to ~/Library/Cookies and remove (do not delete) the cookies.plist file.
3. Go to ~/Library/Caches/Safari and delete the entire contents of that folder.
4. Restart Safari and see if things have improved.

  • Some PDF Links don't work

    Structured Frame 7.2, Acrobat 8.1.2
    Some of my Frame xrefs work as links in PDF, some don't. All xref formats use elem rather than para, the jumps work in FrameMaker. These are the first PDFs we've created after moving to structured Frame. Any suggestions? Help please!

    Teresa,
    This sounds like a long-time known bug in structured Frame which I think may carry over into unstructured Frame, I'm not sure. The bug is that some PDF hyperlinks don't work if you don't include the target in the PDF bookmarks. For example, if your xrefs target a Heading3 element, but you don't include Heading3 elements in your bookmarks, Frame may fail to create named destinations for those elements and your links won't work.
    There is a workaround to this bug in my shareware XRef Wizard plugin, available at www.weststreetconsulting.com. It might be able to help... look in the documentation for "named destinations."

  • Here's what worked for me...

    Here's what worked for me:
    1) I opened iTunes and in Options, I selected iTunes as the default music player for my computer (it wasn't). (I even uninstalled RealPlayer and WinAmp.)
    2) I uninstalled iTunes and iPod, and reinstalled using the newer versions on the Apple site.
    3) I basically followed this advice:
    http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=291183&tstart=0
    Which was basically to leave my iPod connected to the computer while rebooting. The first 2 times it didn't work, I forgot to put iTunes in the start menu, so that it opens when I reboot. I put iTunes and iTunes Helper (whatever that is) in the start menu (I used WinPatrol to do so, available for free here: http://www.winpatrol.com/), and then rebooted, and after a couple of tries, like magic iTunes opened, recognized my iPod, and updated it, and then, for the first time, without freezing my system, told me it was okay to disconnect.
    It even worked while still running my regular systray apps, like McAfee VirusScan, Ewido Anti-Malware, Microsoft AntiSpyware Beta, and SpywareBlaster, so those were not the issue. I get the impression you need to boot it once so it recognizes the iPod and does that handshake thing, and hopefully after that it'll always do the same. We'll see...
    I hope this helps someone, b/c its been a frustrating day working through all this, and I know a lot of others are still trying to get it solved. And thanks to jcog for posting his solution, that helped me, and hopefully this will help someone else...

    it worked until the next time I synced the iPod, and then back to the freeze up. Next thing I tried was this Microsoft help page:
    http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=93976
    which advises on several things, all of which seem helpful, but the thing still freezes up. I can sync the iPod, then the system freezes and I have to reboot. So, I now believe Apple will have to issue a patch for these bugs when using the new 5G iPods with WinXP.

  • I can't update my apps even when I do App Store purchased select all...... It don't work for me

    I can't update my apps even when I do App Store>purchased> select all...... It don't work for me

    When you tap on All at the top. That shows all of you purchased apps. You still have to manually go through each letter (on the left side) and look through every page of apps in order to find the apps that need an update. It is a pain and its time consuming, but that's how you have to do it.
    Is that what you are doing and it's not working for you?

    Thank you for that update.
    I would next backup your device to iTunes with this article:
    iOS: How to back up and restore your content
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1766
    And restore it first as a new device, and verify that it works properly, then restore from your backup with the same article below to ensure that it is still working.
    Use iTunes to restore your iOS device to factory settings
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1414
    If it does not work correctly when you set up the phone as a new device, I would next seek service for your iPad:

  • My apps don't work after synching music files from my PC

    My apps don't work after synching music files from my PC through Itunes....though all the apps are shown in the Apps window in Itunes (The Apps match the iTunes account on the iPhone).....
    Disconnecting after the sync and After downloading any app from Appstore through Wi-Fi all my apps start working.....
    Please Help.....

    What happend is your phone forgot it was authorized to work with items associated with your apple id. If it happens again, download any free app to prompt the sign in, once you install the free app the others should work.

  • Does iTunes in the cloud only work for purchased music?

    Hi,
    I was wondering, does iTunes in the Cloud only work for purchased music?
    Also, does the automatic wifi sync feature not sync everything that it would if you manually iniate the wifi sync? The reason I ask is because my iPhone is often connected to my charger, and then today I decided to perform a manual wifi sync and it had a lot of content to update, definitly way more than any changes I've made since I plugged it in to the charger last night.
    Thanks,
    Brandon

    Hi Brandon ...
    You can turn on Music, Apps,and Books by tapping Settings > Store
    Connecting your iPhone to a wall charger should not have any effect on sycning.

  • Mail rules work for some users, don't work for others

    Ready to pull my hair out over this one:
    Leopard to Snow Leopard upgrade went uneventfully, except for the fact that server-side mail rules (accessed via browser at FQDN -> Mail Rules) work for several users (two, to be exact) and don't for the rest (about 15 or so).
    The usual culprits have been reviewed: 'Enable Server-Side Mail Rules' is checked in Mail -> Settings -> Filters, 'Allow users to configure server-side mail rules' is checked in Web -> Sites -> Web Services, users can create vacation notices and email rules without issue via browser, permissions look fine on the contents of /Library/Email Rules and /var/spool/imap/dovecot/sieve-scripts, logs give no indication of any foul play (at least the Email Rules -> debug.log generates the same entries for both functional and non-functional users), etc.
    I have noticed that /var/spool/imap/dovecot/sieve-scripts contains only two items, which - you guessed it - line up with the GUIDs of the two functional users. Theoretically every user with a rule should be represented here.
    As suggested in this thread:
    http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=11171395&#11171395
    I created both a vacation notice and an email rule for several users, thinking that may force the folder creation for those users, but no dice. I even manually created folders for a few users with their GUIDs as the folder names and assigned each user ownership and read/write access. Still nothing. Created a few new test user accounts just to rule out any legacy account weirdness (although it's worth noting that I completely redid the OD and recreated user accounts after the upgrade) and replicated the problem with these, as well. Lastly, used Inspector to compare OD attributes between functional and non-functional accounts, with no glaring differences.
    Help!

    Did you find an answer? I encounter the same problem on my new MiniServer. Deleted and created all users several times, but just for some accounts mail is working.
    Do you have the answer?

  • DNG converter don't work for some RW2-files

    Hi,
    i found out, that there ist now direct support from CS4 to my new Lumix LX5. :-(
    In  some forums i got the hint to use the free DNG converter. that works  for most of the files, but some rw2's it can't convert. yesterday i made  10 pictures and the converter only identificate 7 of them. The only  thing i noticeed ist, that this files are "only" 7MB. The others are  10MB. When i use irfanview to look the rw2's are no problems. the  pictures are all very good. somebody an idea whats wrong with the 3?
    Thanks
    pittip
    sorry for my english, but i hope you understand me!??

    I don't know anything at all about your file format, but it sounds as if there is an option to create compressed raw files.  I know Canon has this option.  It may be that somehow you used this compressed option, assuming that there is one, and it may be that the DNG converter does not support the compressed raw format.  If not, maybe someone else will have a better answer.

  • Some share buttons don't work on my tablet

    I have a Samsung tablet, model GT-P3113 and its Operating System is Android. In some websites when I click share buttons like addthis and sharethis, they don't work and are inactive. I refresh the page and it doesn't help. For example, none of share buttons of http://www.threehosts.com/ratings/comparison-software/wordpress-vs-joomla-vs-drupal.html work on my tablet, but when I go to this page via my Laptop the share buttons work. My laptop OS is Windows 8.
    One of my friends has iPad and I sent this link to him. The share buttons work correctly for her.
    Does my problem come from my Android which doesn't support share plugins perfectly, or it comes from my tablet model?
    Is there anyone with Samsung GT-P3113 on this forum? If so, could you please test the mentioned page and tell if its share buttons are active or not?

    I have the Samsung Galaxy Tab 2,  7", model GT-P3113, wifi only (not on my Verizon plan).  It's currently running Android 4.2.2; the share buttons on the site you listed above seem to work for me...I didn't actually go through and "share" anything, but I did get to this screen and it appears that all I need to do is log in to whatever service I want to  use to share the post :

  • Menus on some web sites don't work

    I have just activated 2 new Lumia 520 phones with Windows 8 mobile. (updated to Amber)
    When browsing the web, the menus don't work on a couple of web sites that I have written.
    These menus use Javascript to show drop down lists and to navigate to the appropriate pages. When you click a link on the menu, the drop down menu appears for a couple of seconds, then disappears. Even in the couple of seconds that the dropdown appears, it can not be clicked.
    Interestingly, these web sites also use javascript to open overlay pages when a thumbnail picture is clicked, This action works.
    These menus have been regression tested in all the major browsers and they work on a PC, Mac, iPad and Android but seem to fail on Windows 8 mobile.
    I searched and can't see any option that allows me to enable or disable Javascript.
    Here are links to those 2 sites:
    http://www.garynancy.com/index.html
    http://www.chisholmtv.com/
    What am I missing?

    The menuscript (popupmo.js) you are using will not work.
    I'd suggest you take this to http://developer.nokia.com where you will likely find more help as this is a general user to user support platform.

  • :*(  Form buttons don't work for all testers

    I created a form in Acrobat 9.1 using Forms> Add or Edit Fields. The form contains action buttons for next page and previous page, to clear all fields, and (with the generous help of a fellow forum member) to print the form and save it to disk. I optimized the form with compatibility set to Acrobat 8.0 and later, then enabled it for Reader. I sent this form to several users for testing.
    Those using Acrobat have no problems with it.
    Those using Foxit Reader have no problems with the action buttons or the form fields (except that date fields are finicky; Foxit doesn't convert the dates to the correct format the way Reader or Acrobat do). But, the yellow background that I created as a watermark -- so I could make it visible but not print -- is printing. That's not anything that Acrobat can help, but it is a very good reason to not recommend using Foxit. It would create a dreadful shortage of yellow inkjet ink.
    Those using Reader 8.0 to 8.1.2 are having several problems. For them, the action buttons don't work... except the "clear all fields" one. The buttons don't do anything; there are no errors, no messages, no activity of any kind except to change color when clicked.
    The buttons that don't work are all set up as Mouse Up actions executing a menu item... for example, "Go to page 2" is just View>Go To>Next Page. The "Clear all fields" button is, on Mouse Up, "Reset a form" with all fields selected... so it's the only kind of button that works for Reader users, and it's the only button that doesn't execute a menu item.
    Why is there a difference in actions these users can run? If it's a security issue... what possible risk is there in going to the next page, using a button instead of a scroll bar or Page Down key??? I can find no common sense here, especially because Reader users are the only ones barred from these form actions. Everyone else can use them.
    -- Also, these testers (Reader 8+) are having problems with the tab order. Some of the radio button groups (which have no more than three options, Yes, No and NA) at first appear to be tabbing correctly, because the Yes option receives focus in the correct order... but randomly, tabbing through several fields, suddenly the No option will get focus... in a radio button group nowhere near the current tab location. Tabbing is rendered useless, then, because these anomalies are unpredictable and it doesn't appear there's anything I can do to prevent this from happening.
    It's pointless to delete and re-add the afflicted radio buttons. That has no effect... and the radio button groups are already in the correct order anyway. I don't know how this could possibly happen... But it doesn't happen for the Foxit or Acrobat testers.
    • Why would Reader be the only app that can't use the buttons and can't tab through the fields correctly? I'd think Adobe's own software would work best with their own file format. •
    Is Reader 8 the problem --- should those users all update to the newest version? I don't have any Reader 9+ testers yet. Nobody seems interested in it. The testers all assume the problems are MY fault, so nobody's happy with me and no one wants to bother testing the forms because there's always something wrong.
    <hair-pulling> I seriously regret upgrading to Acrobat 9.1.  I know other forum members who agree this thing is catastrophically buggy -- I've wasted  weeks trying to iron out all the problems I've been having with these forms, forms that should have been quick and simple to create, and in past versions of Acrobat, would have been. Yet I'm still tearing out my hair over tab order! Worse, I fear I'm close to losing my job for all the time wasted and all the projects I've fallen behind in because of this. <no /hair-pulling in sight>

    I have no clue, but it might make a difference depending on the form being produced in Acrobat versus Designer. Acrobat will take you both places and one of them may have an issue with backward compatibility. I have not heard of that, but it is a possibility.
