Way to Erase All Start/Stop Time Data?

I used a DJ plugin called BPMer to load the BPMs into all my MP3s. It had an option "Optimize Start and Stop Times." This helps the program skip ambient intros of songs in order to beatmatch, mix and crossfade more efficiently. The only problem is that the information is retained under Get Info:Options:Start/Stop Times even if the plugin is turned off. It is stored in the ID3 info. I am wondering how to universally delete this information or reset it to default because I do not feel like going to every song individually to reset it (I'd have to do it about 6000 times). I tried selecting multiple songs, but the Start/Stop does not show up under Options when multiple tracks are selected.
Also don't suggest to re-run the BPMer program with the box unchecked for optimize start/stop times. I tried it. I figured out how to make BPMer not edit the times in the future, but it won't erase or overwrite the old start/stop info on tracks I already used it on.
Sort of a weird problem, but any ideas to save me from the nightmare of doing this individually 6000 times are greatly appreciated.

Doug Adams has a script over at his great site that should help with what you're trying to do.

How do I find and clear all ticked Stop Times in music tracks?

I have lots of music tracks which have the Stop Time ticked under the Options tab in Get Info. I don't know why they are ticked as I didn't do it, but now I want to clear them all as it causes tunes to stop abruptly in playback. I've looked for a script that would do this, but no luck. If there's no available script, perhaps if I could at least find all of the songs with Stop Time ticked, that would be a start. Does anyone either know of a way to clear all ticked Stop Times, or at least create a playlist of all songs with Stop Time ticked? If anyone knows why Stop Time gets ticked for some songs and not others, that would also be useful information. Thanks in advance.

barney97,
Maybe this script in can be of help:
tell application "iTunes"
if selection is not {} then
set sel to selection
repeat with this_track in selection
try
set finish of this_track to 1000
end try
end repeat
display dialog "Done!" buttons {"Thanks"} default button 1 giving up after 5
end if
end tell
Replace the "1000" with the number of seconds of your longest track, compile and run the script. The script tries to set the Stop Time to 1000 seconds. If your tracks are shorter in duration, the Stop times just will be cleared.
Run Script Editor (in ./Applications/Applescript) and copy the script (grey block above) to it.
Click the 'Compile' button and save it as a script in ./Library/iTunes/Scripts.
It will then appear in the Script menu in iTunes.
Next, select all tracks in your Music Library (Command-A) and run the script.
It's not a very elegant solution, but it works.
If anyone knows why Stop Time gets ticked for some songs and not others, that would also be useful information.
I can't tell you that. I've never experienced a phenomenon like that.
Maybe some iTunes related Widget or iTunes supporting application is responsible for that.
Hope this helps.

Need directions to erase all contact/calendar/email data so that I can start fresh again

I have a Blackberry 8830 that I want to pass on to another family member, but I need to erase all of my current data including contact/calendar/email. Can someone help in providing the procedure to accomplish this.

You don't want to save anything?
If you do, perform a backup using Desktop Manager of the device before you proceed with the following.
On the BlackBerry > Options > Security > General Settings > press the Menu key > Wipe Handheld and proceed.
This will delete all the settings, preferences, data, messages, contacts, calendar, etc.
It will NOT wipe or delete anything from the Media Card should you have one in the device.

Start/stop time

I downloaded an app a while ago to automatically retrieve song lyrics from the internet, but that one didn't work. But it randomly added start/stop times to hundreds, if not thousands of my songs, and whenever I have my iPod on shuffle, sometimes I don't get to hear the whole song. I could go through every song in iTunes and fix it manually, but that would take days. Is there a way to get rid of this all at once, or does it have to be done individually?
Thanks

Sorry...I was looking at the volume adjustment. Don't know what I was thinking.
Try this script from Doug's. It's called Reset Tracks Start-Stop v1.0.

How to Get Duration, Start/Stop Time of Each Instance (Run)

Can someone tell me how to get the Duration, as well as Execution Start/Stop times for a given run (Instance) of a Report, stored in History?
For example, on the BO Server in InfoView, I can browse the History of each report, and for each run, I can click the details and view the Duration and Start/Stop times for that run. How do I get that information in Java via the SDK?
Neither IProcessInfo nor ISchedulingInfo seems to have this information.
For example, ISchedulingInfo's Start/Stop Times are for general scheduling (when the report will stop being scheduled). That is not what I want.
I need specific data for a given completed Run, namely its duration and time endpoints. Thanks a lot.

Hi,
fetch the instance of the run like this
IInfoObjects list = infoStore.query(
"select SI_STARTTIME , SI_ENDTIME From CI_INFOOBJECTS Where SI_ID=<instanceIDtoMeasure>"
IInfoObject element = list.get(0);
Date startTime = element.properties().getDate("SI_STARTTIME");
System.out.println("Beginn "+ startTime);
Date endTime = element.properties().getDate("SI_ENDTIME" );
System.out.println("End " + endTime);
long time = ((endTime.getTime() - startTime.getTime()) / 1000);
System.out..println("Runtime " + time + " sec");
You can get the nstanceIDtoMeasure form your Report with getInstances
Enjoy

Separate Start/Stop times for a single song file

I am trying to create some playlists for different moods e.g. calm, happy, upbeat etc.
Now, my problem is this. I have some songs that have more than one mood within them, and I would like to set different start/stop times for the one song file.
I would like to be able to set different start/stop times in each playlist and not affect the start/stop times for the file in the music library.
Thanks in advance to anyone who can help!

The only way to do this is to make a duplicate copy of the song for your playlist and adjust the times for the duplicate.

How do I tell what songs have altered Start/Stop times (Under "Get Info-Options") without opening every single song.

Sometimes, for whatever reason, I'll change the Start/Stop times of my songs, and I'll forget which ones I've done this to. For me, this can be a hassle, due to the number of songs I have, and the actual amount I listen to my iPod. I'll admit that it's my fault, that when I'm making a ringtone or simply shortening a song temporarily, I'll almost definitely forget to change that shortened time back after I'm done. But that moment when you're listening to a song and it abruptly ends, especially in a place I don't have access to iTunes (and in that situation I usually forget before I get home, exacerbating the problem even further), it can be the most annoying thing ever for me. I don't want to deal with it any longer, though, so here's my question:
How can I view which songs have altered Start/Stop times, without needing to view the Info for each individual song? I can't select all songs and then select "Get Info", because if I do that it won't even show the Option. The only reason I'm here is because I tried to figure it out myself, for weeks on end, and have returned no valid options for solution. So can someone please help me?

Customize the Finder window toolbar, adding the Path icon to it. Select an item and click on the Path icon or, as you already know, add path to the window. There's also copypath.app available via the App Store.

Manually specifying start/stop times for video

When we insert a video into a Keynote presentation, we can adjust the start/stop times of the video (inspector -> Quicktime icon). The problem here is that it's very difficult to accurately adjust the sliders due to the small slider. Is there a way to extend the slider so that it's longer, or simply a way to manually specify the start/stop times?

Unfortunately, there is not. Your best bet it to use Quicktime or iMovie to trim the movie down to just what you want to show and then you don't have to worry about setting it in Keynote. This will also save some file size as you don't have the video that you don't want to show taking up space in the Keynote file.

Mutlitple start/stop times

I'm trying to create several playlists that contain the same songs. I would like to specify different start and stop times in the get info/options tab for each of the songs in each playlist. Does anyone know if this is possible? From what I can see, once a start/stop time is specified, it applies to all instances of the song across playlists.
Thanks.

Start/Stop time is tagged to the actual song file, not the play list. Sorry, but this can't be done.

Music Start/Stop Times with iTunes Match causes iOS Music App to glitch

I set Start Time and Stop Time values for my music in iTunes to crop off non-music parts of tracks, but the Start/Stop Times cause the iOS Music app to glitch out when the track streams via iTunes Match. If a track has a Start Time set, the track will get stuck, and repeat the first fraction of a second of the track over and over, seemingly for the amount of the Start Time. And if the Stop Time is set, the NEXT track will glitch out. For example, if a track has a Start Time of 0:10, the track will glitch out for at least 10 seconds before the track actually starts playing. Sometimes the track never stops advances beyond 0:00.
I think the problem caused by the fact that iTunes Match is streaming the entire track so the Music app just freaks out for the duration of the Start/Stop Times.
Has anybody else experienced this? Is there a workaround?
For now, I've just been searching my 22,000 song library for tracks with Start/Stop Times and exporting new hard-cropped files, but this is tedious, takes up hard drive space, and degrades the audio with lossy-to-lossy double-compression.

I'm having the exact same problem and from my research I believe that the old process of being able to turn ITM off, sync your music to your iPad, and then turn ITM back on no longer work. You are correct that going through this process wipes out your music. It's only on IOS 6.0 on my Gen 3 ipad because on my gen 1 iPad, I can't upgrade to IOS 6.0 and the old process still works fine under IOS 5.0.
In order to get around this I created a massive playlist (a superset of all my other playists) that I downloaded by using the download button in order to get local copies of my music on my ipad 3.0.
It seems to be working for now but I can't force my ipad to keep all that music local anymore. If I download other music or movies in the future (and become low on space) Apple makes the decision about what to remove from my local copy in order to fit the new content on the device.

How do I change the start/stop time for multiple songs not just one song at a time?

How do I chnage the start/stop time for multiple songs not just one song at a time?

I don't think you can in iTunes.
Multiple editing in Get Info does not offer an option to change start/stop times.

If i sync my ipod with another computer to get more music on it. Will it erase all my apps, app data, and pictures?

All synced media that is not already in the iTunes library on the second computer will be erased. This second computer will be your syncing computer
You can only sync with one computer/iTunes library.

No, you need to connect it to a computer running iTunes to manage the iPod's content (or erase it).

Way to erase all data without restore?

I just got off the phone with apple and they tolf me to take the phone to verizon for exchange due to wifi issues. I don't really want to go through the whole restore process plus Verizon may not like it restored in order to check it out. If I use erase all content under the reset function, will that securely remove all data?

I recently sold my iPhone 4s and followed the erase all content route but didn't stick long enough to see it through, and I found some iPhone data recovery app can restore deleted data from iPhone without backup files, so, I think we have to permanently erase everything from iPhone device before selling it, some “Deleted operation” really doesn’t erase all the data and it still out there, you cannot it.
This is an article talking about:
1. How to permanently erase data from iPhone without restoring
2. How to wipe iPhone data before selling

I am giving my old MacBook Air to my granddaughter. What is the most efficient way to erase all the data on it?

I am giving my old MacBook Air to my granddaughter. What is the most efficient way to erase the data?

You have two options.....
One is to do a clean reinstall of your OS - if you still have the USB installer that came with your Macbook Air...
The second option is to create a new user (your granddaugher's name).....Deauthorize your Macbook Air from your Itunes and Appstore.....
Restart your Macbook after you've created your granddaughter's user name, login under your granddaughter's username and delete your username.
Search your Macbook for your old files and delete them.....
Good luck...
