What does "Apply Sort Field" mean?

I click on +same album+ but it seems nothing happened?

Say that you decide that you want to have your David Bowie tracks sorted under B rather than D. Select any David Bowie track, change the sort artist to Bowie or *Bowie, David* and then use *Apply Sort Field > Same Artist* to have this change replicated to every David Bowie track in your library.

  • What exactly does itunes mean when it says "apply sort field"

    In iTunes when I select a track [or several tracks] and then Right click i see an option at the bottom of the resulting menu that offers to "apply sort field", when I select this option a sub menu comes up offering several fields for me to choose from, the options are, All matching fields, Same Album, Same Artist, Same Album Artist, Same Composer, Same Show. If I choose one of these options iTunes issues a warning that it's about to alter some of the files in my library. Can anyone explain exactly what is about to happen and how this is different from simply clicking any of the column headers in iTunes so it will sort the tracks on the screen?

    The sort fields are used to control the order in which items are listed within their colums rather than which column the display is currently sorting on. iTunes automatically fills some of these in so an album or artist that begins with a, an or the is normally sorted as if the article wasn't there, e.g. so *The Beatles* get sorted under B and not T. In other cases you might decide that you want, for example *David Bowie* sorted as *Bowie, David*. If you set the Sort Artist, Sort Album Artist and Sort Composer (assuming this is one of his tracks) to *Bowie, David* on just one track, then right-click and chose *Apply sort file > All matching fields*, then iTunes will look at each track that has *David Bowie* in the Artist field and put *Bowie, David* in the Sort Artist field, also for each track that has *David Bowie* in the Album Artist field it will put *Bowie, David* in the Sort Album Artist field, and for each track that has *David Bowie* in the Composer field it will put *Bowie, David* in the Sort Composer field.

  • I have many photos that are visible as thumbnails in the Pictures Library, however when I try to open them in a big screen they show a back screen with an exclamation mark in a triangle.  What does this exclamation mark mean ?

    I can see my images in the libarary as thumbnails but when i try to edit/email some of them become Exclamation Marks in a triangle.
    What does the exclamation mark mean and how to i retrieve the photo

    The exclamation make is an indication that iPhoto has broken the file path to the original photo.
    Make a temporary, backup copy (if you don't already have a backup copy) of the library and apply the two fixes below in order as needed:
    Fix #1
    Launch iPhoto with the Command+Option keys held down and rebuild the library.
    Select the options identified in the screenshot. 
    Fix #2
    Using iPhoto Library Manager  to Rebuild Your iPhoto Library
    Download iPhoto Library Manager and launch.
    Click on the Add Library button, navigate to your Home/Pictures folder and select your iPhoto Library folder.
    Now that the library is listed in the left hand pane of iPLM, click on your library and go to the File ➙ Rebuild Library menu option
    In the next  window name the new library and select the location you want it to be placed.
    Click on the Create button.
    Note: This creates a new library based on the LIbraryData.xml file in the library and will recover Events, Albums, keywords, titles and comments but not books, calendars or slideshows. The original library will be left untouched for further attempts at fixing the problem or in case the rebuilt library is not satisfactory.

  • What does the dotted circle mean?

    When connecting itouch to itunes, what does the dotted circle mean next to a song? Thanks for the help.

    Hi pfn,
    From an earlier post on this topic - this may work for you - it's worth a try:
    First go to the 'On This iPad/iPod/iPhone' section and note all the tracks that have dotted circles.
    In the 'Music' section, un-check/de-select all the tunes noted 
    Apply and sync the changes. 
    Once that completes re-check/re-select the same tunes just un-checked/de-selected in the 'Music' section.
    Apply and sync the changes again
    Go back into the 'On This iPad/iPod/iPhone' section
    Hopefully all the dotted circles will be gone and all the tracks can be played
    See if this helps!
    Cheers,

  • What does "RTR FOR ALP" mean?

    I just finished switching my 1400 minute family plan over to the 1GB Share Everything Plan and I noticed that for all four of the phones on the plan (three smart phones and one basic phone), there is an added feature called RTR FOR ALP on all four lines.
    I was shown that FRIENDS & FAMILY ALP - 10 would be removed from all lines and that RTR FOR CAPPED PLANS $0 would be removed from the 4G phone's line and RTR FOR CAPPED MBBC $0 would be removed from the basic phone's line. If I had enough examples of RTR and ALP in use I might be able to figure it out, but with only my own plan to look at, I'm stumped.
    So what does RTR FOR ALP mean and what does the feature allow me to do that I couldn't do before?

    I don't know what the letters stand for, exactly, but what's happening is the 10 Friends for all lines is being removed, since you know have unlimited calling and there is no need for F&F numbers.  The 4G phone and the Basic phone's  individual data caps have been removed, and the shared data cap has been applied to those lines.
    Maybe with another cup of coffee I can come up with what the acronyms mean....
    ** EDIT
    Coffee would not have helped   But Google did:
    http://www.verizonbusiness.com/solutions/public_sector/federal/contracts/continuity_contract/redacted_contract/vol3_business/v3-contents.pdf  starting on page 6 lists pages of acronyms.
    ALP(S) = Automatic Line Protection switching
    RTR = Real Time Restoration

  • What does this error message mean: "Filename: Mips32.ari TFTP Error: 'File not found' in AP-105"?

    Question: What does this error message mean: "Filename: Mips32.ari TFTP Error: ‘File not found’ in AP-105"?
    Product and Software: This article applies to AP-105.
    The root cause of this error is that the AP cannot perform a code upgrade.
    Scenario 1
    Check the ArubaOS code.
    The minimum requirement to bring up an AP-105 is ArubaOS 3.3.3+ or ArubaOS 3.4.1+.
    If the controller is running pre 3.3.3 code, upgrade the code to fix the issue.
    Scenario 2
    If the AP is not connected to the controller directly, bring up the AP in the controller and then connect it to the desired location. This process loads mips32.ari to the AP so that the AP can upgrade the code.
    Scenario 3
    The AP has no power adapter and you want to use the PoE feature. A few controller series like the 200 and 3000 Series do not support PoE. In this case, the AP cannot be terminated physically in the controller. Instead, connect the AP to the PoE switch, which is connected to the controller. Then assign a static IP configuration for the AP using the following commands:
    apboot> setenv ipaddr <ip address>
    apboot> setenv netmask <netmask>
    apboot> setenv gatewayip <ip address of the gateway>
    apboot> setenv master <ip address of the master>
    apboot> setenv serverip <ip address of the TFTP server>
    apboot> setenv bootcmd tftp
    apboot> save
    apboot> boot
    Locally configure the TFTP server for the AP and load the mips32.ari file from the controller with the help of the TFTP application.

    I want to download this file Mips32.ari for AP-105 device. Please give me this file download link. APBoot 1.2.4.4 (build 26618)

  • I got an iphone from Hong Kong which is locked one. Can anyone explain me what does a locked iphone means. How do I use it in India now, with my own sim card. How do I unlock it???

    I got an iphone from Hong Kong which is locked one. Can anyone explain me what does a locked iphone means. How do I use it in India now, with my own sim card. How do I unlock it???

    If your iPhone is locked to a wireless provider, only that wireless provider
    can unlock it. Contact the wireless provider in Hong Kong to see if they
    offer unlocking and if you qualify.
    If your iPhone is locked to an AppleID that you do not know, return it for
    a refund as it is useless. Only the person whose AppleID was used for
    activation can remove the lock. There is no workaround for Activation Lock.
    If neither of the above is what you are facing, provide more detail so someone
    may offer a solution.

  • I was playing with my ipad settings (it's an older model) and noted in the advanced settings of Safari there was a place to view website databases.  When I clicked on this I saw websites.  How do these get there and what does the space amount mean?

    I was playing with my ipad settings and noted in he advanced settings of Safari there was a place to view "website databases".  When I selected this I saw a multitude of websites.
    Can anyone tell me how these get there?  Can a website be posted even if it was never went to?  What does the space amount mean?  For example, 1.5 kb...is this quite a bit?  Would it indicate someone has gone to a site multiple times?
    I share my ipad with my teenage daughter and I'm trying to find out if she's lying to me.  Obviously she's swearing that she has "no idea" how these got there and I'm trying to keep her safe (she's only 14).
    Thanks everyone.
    Concerned Mom

    Think of your PC and the 'temporary internet folder' where it keeps cached copies of web pages or elements off a web page for 'quicker display the next time you visit'. That's pretty much what that folder is. 1.5K is tiny. Probably just a basic page with some text on it. (you might be confusing 1.5K with 1.5 megabyte....megabyte is large...it's roughly 1000 kilobytes, so the 1.5K is a tiny file)
    As far as I know, the only way info gets into that folder is if the browser has been to that site.
    if you have a concern there are browsers out there, McGruff is one i've seen recommended, that allow some degree of parental control and supervision. That or you could passcode lock the iPad or enable the restrictions to turn off some parts of the device to have some control.

  • What does (error code -600) mean?

    What does (error code -600) mean?
    I received this code in a pop up window while trying to open iTunes from my Apps folder.

      procNotFound             
    = -600, /*no eligible process with specified descriptor*/
    Could be many things, we should start with this...
    "Try Disk Utility
    1. Insert the Mac OS X Install disc, then restart the computer while holding the C key.
    2. When your computer finishes starting up from the disc, choose Disk Utility from the Installer menu at top of the screen. (In Mac OS X 10.4 or later, you must select your language first.)
    *Important: Do not click Continue in the first screen of the Installer. If you do, you must restart from the disc again to access Disk Utility.*
    3. Click the First Aid tab.
    4. Select your Mac OS X volume.
    5. Click Repair Disk, (not Repair Permissions). Disk Utility checks and repairs the disk."
    http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=106214
    Then try a Safe Boot, (holding Shift key down at bootup), run Disk Utility in Applications>Utilities, then highlight your drive, click on Repair Permissions, reboot when it completes.
    (Safe boot may stay on the gray radian for a long time, let it go, it's trying to repair the Hard Drive.)
    If perchance you can't find your install Disc, at least try it from the Safe Boot part onward.
    Any change?

  • What does "extracted channel PDF" mean and why does it continually duplicate on my desktop?  I think it happens when I move a file in Finder to another file and when I copy some web files.  How do I avoid this on my Mac (Mavericks)?  Thanks for your help!

    What does "extracted channel PDF" mean and why does it continually duplicate on my desktop?  I think it happens when I move a file in Finder to another file and when I copy some web files.  I have to immediately move to trash all the duplications on my desktop.  How do I avoid this on my Mac (Mavericks)?  Thanks for your help!

    What application is set to open PDF files? If you CNTRL click on the file and open with Preview does the problem occur?
    If not change the default application to open PDF files to Preview.
    You can do this by highlighting the file and either use CMD i or Get Info , this will open a window with the info on the file with an option to change the application that opens the file.
    That's all I can think of.
