Updating an album location

I have some audiobooks on a NAS at home that I do not want to copy to my laptop drive. I had to reinstall iTunes recently and it's easy enough to change the library location where all my MP3 files are, but iTunes can't find the audiobooks on my NAS.
I have to manually update location of each file pointing them one by one to the NAS location. Is there any way to update the entire album / book location in iTunes?

Again I really need the all the details or I'm going to be guessing what I need to do to make it work.
For example I have a track at:
E:\iTunes\iTunes Media\Audiobooks\Agatha Christie\The Mysterious Affair At Styles\01 The Mysterious Affair At Styles, Part 1.mp3
with the metadata:
Author (Artist)     Agatha Christie
Title (Album)       The Mysterious Affair At Styles
Track Number     1
Name                 The Mysterious Affair At Styles, Part 1
Kind                   MPEG audio file
The script can do fuzzy matching on the "predicted" folder and file names that it works out from the tag, but since it isn't working there is obviously some kind of mismatch between the prediction and the true path. I'm trying to work out exactly what that is so I can make the right amendments to the script for you.
I see from an earlier post it might just be that I'm expecting to see a subfolder for author that isn't there, but it would be helpful to confirm the relationship of the metadata to the filename.

How do I update the Album?

I am running Apreture 2.1.1 and did an Import Versions into an Album. On the hard drive where I stored the pictures, I deleted about 10 pictures. How do I update the Album to reflect the changes?
Thanks

I believe I am using a referenced approach to organizing the pictures in Aperture. The pictures are stored on the hard drive in a folder. I chose to import images using the reference to the images in their original location. This way I don't have duplicated images.
My question is what if I delete some images in their original location, how can I update the Album to reflect these changes?
Is there an automatic way to sync the album to the original location if I delete files in their original location?
I hope this is a bit more clear.
Thanks,
Gary

ITunes can't find file - updating several file locations at once

I've got several audiobooks that are in a different location than my music library. I recently reinstalled my laptop and restored the older iTunes folder (so I don't have to repopulate my 120gb worth of mp3 files in iTunes).
It worked well enough. iTunes sees all my albums and by pointing the reinstalled iTunes to my music library path, it can find all my music. I have to manually point iTunes to every mp3 (audiobook for example) to anything that isn't in the default library location though.
Is there any way I can update an entire album location without changing the library path?

nope - that's not it either! all my xml text things have identical paths to the real location of the files. nice idea, though!
i have fixed my problem, though. probably not permanently or in a very convenient way, but at present itunes is working for me again. here is how i did it...
all my files were also on my ipod, so i used a downloadble software package (music rescue, which is fantastic!) to copy all of the mp3 files from my ipod to my internal hard drive. i then dragged these and dropped them all into my itunes library. this meant that after a lot of copying i had all tracks twice, and every other track had the '!' symbol next to it.
i therefore had my library twice over, once working and once not working. i highlighted all the tracks with exclamation marks and deleted them, leaving the new version of my old library. i lost my playlists but i didn't really have any anyway, and no smart lists or anything like that. i probably also lost playcounts and the like but i don't really care about that either because i don't use itunes in that involved a way...
i am fully expecting itunes to work fine for a while, then do the same thing again, so i am leaving this as a unanswered question in the hope that someone has a suggestion that will offer a more permanent solution.
thanks to everyone for their help...

I am unable to update my album art since I commenced using match (and after upgrading to Yosemite). How can I 'unembed' old cover art and replace?

I am unable to update my album art on my iMac since I started using Match (and after upgrading to Yosemite 10.10.3). A message advises that it's not possible to removed old artwork if it's embedded. How can I 'unembed' old cover art and replace?

Normally artwork recovered with iTunes is stored as a separate artwork file and iTunes refers to that file to display artwork when you click on a track. However, if you then copy the file to another player the artwork file is left behind and the track will not display the artwork on the other player. To get around this it is possible to embed the artwork in the music file itself so it always travels with the file. Artwork can be embedded by you or files from third party sources may arrive with embedded artwork. iTunes apparently now won't replace artwork for such files. You can accomplish this by completely deleting artwork for a file or set of files in Get Info, then getting iTunes to fetch artwork which will then be set as a reference file rather than being embedded.
I use an old iTunes so unless you are using an ancient iTunes it won't help for me to give you great details. To erase artwork I simply get info on a series of files and check the box next to the artwork box without adding any artwork and close. To do it for single file I Get Info, go to the artwork display tab and click delete. Here's a Windows reference for a newer iTunes (but the "old Get Info" reference is for early iTunes 12 and no longer works with newer):I cannot delete embedded album artwork in iTunes 12

Why do my photo dates change she Facebook updates an album?

When I click on a FaceBook album in Aperture. The little clock thing goes around and around then when it is done all the photos in that album have a date of waht the current date/time is. It makes all them pics out of order when looking ato photos. I don't want this. I want the dates to remain the original. I have no way of knowing waht the original date and time was now! Very frustrating.

BTW, the title should be Why do my photo date's change when facebbok updates an album?

How to update users' Trusted Locations settings on open?

I am looking for a function that will trigger on opening of Access 2010 that will automatically update users' Trusted Locations to include the local network. Only authenticated users have access to the drive, so there should be no security
issues in making it a trusted location for anyone who opens the application.
It would be too time consuming to explain to 100+ how to add the network to their trusted locations, so I am looking for something to bypass this.

I put the function into the AutoExec macro, but when the database is not in a trusted location yet, I get a macro error number 2001. After pressing Stop All Macros, then pressing Enable All Content, the function runs and properly adds the location.
Obviously the error occurs because the location is not trusted yet, so how do I get it to trust a macro beforehand?

Function module does not update the storage location in delivery

Hello,
I've been trying to use SD_DELIVERY_UPDATE_PICKING to update the storage location in SD return deliveries, without any success. Any clues? The FM works fine when it comes to updating the picking quantity, but the storage location issue still persists.
Thanks in advance,
Joao

Hi Joao,
I have the same problem. I tried to find the FM SD_OUTB_DELIVERY_CHANGE but couldn't find it. Have you by any change specified the incorrect FM name here? If yes, can you please communicate the correct FM name?

IPhone 4S, iOS 8.2 update, iTunes album cover art missing

Hello,
I just updated my 64GB iPhone 4s to the new iOS 8.2, after reading online that it addressed issues with previous iOS 8 updates.
Everything on the phone seems to work fine as far as I've found, but the album cover art for almost every album isn't coming over.
I know this may sound insignificant, but it is the fastest way to look up music, especially when on the go.
I have all my album artwork included on iTunes on my laptop. Previous to this update, all album covers came over to iPhone.
I just did the update to 8.2 last night (March 9, 2015), and synced my iPhone with my laptop to update my music catalog.
First time it didn't bring the artwork over, so I re-synced and tried again. Our of the 474 albums currently on the devise, album artwork came over on 58 albums.
Has anyone else identified this issue? If so, were you able to find a solution?
Thank you.

This has happened about 2 other times since updating to iOS 8.3. I have an iPhone 6 Plus (128 GB). I am able to retrieve the album artwork by removing the music from the device and then syncing with iTunes again. This is a hassle, though, as I have 12,000+ songs that I sync to the device. Album artwork hangs around for about 2 weeks and then mysteriously vanishes again. So I have finally given in and will wait until the next software update and then hope for the best with another remove/sync cycle after the update has been applied.
Bush league, Apple. Bush league.

How to change the update servers target location?

Hi i just bought a used MacBook from a friend i have been having a problem when trying to use the software update. when i click on software update it says it can not connect to the update server and that i should use network diagnostics. when i click on it it says network seems to be fine but on the left side it shows a red light where server is and says failed i click on run diagnostics and it says "network diagnostics was able to connect to the internet but not to the server "(not showing the server for privacy reasons)" This could be caused by problems with the server, or an internet problem between this computer and the server."
The server name which i did not list was my friends old job server. i just want to know how to change the update servers target location so it will stop trying to connect to his jobs server so it will allow me to update my software from my home wifi thanks

Your friend has configured this computer in some way to prevent a user from accessing Apple's update servers. This was probably done for security purposes. You might check if the firewall has been activated - Open the Security preferences, click on the Firewall tab. If the firewall is turned on, then turn it off. This should fix the problem.
However, if your friend has made other modifications, then you will need to ask him/her what you will need to do to remove them.

Folks,
ENV : SQL Server 2005, CR 2008 SP3, Windows Server 2003
All the reports are working fine except for 4 of them. All of them demonstrate the same symptoms.
Failed to print/preview report with the error 'A Crystal Reports job failed: Failed to update table name (location): Failed to open connection. Failed to open connection. COA.rpt
All the reports use OLE DB connection. I have verified the the DB Connection Information. It's the same across all the rpt files.
Please help.

Hi,
Additional Info:
CR 2008 SP3 is called by an application using .net. The Application passes a couple of parameters to the CR report. I'm able to preview the report. All the reports use the same set of parameters.
