What happened to the Grouping field in Get Info?

I asked this question before and was referred to a specialist on the phone that solved the problem by telling me to click on "Add Field" and "Always show current fields." Grouping was there and was editable. All worked well ...
Until today. Now, clicking on "Always show current fields" results in nothing. So what happened between 11/13/2014, when I last downloaded books and was able to get Grouping, and today, 11/25/2014, when I no longer can?
Grouping is essential to my ordering of Book series. FYI, I use iTunes mostly for Audiobooks of which I have about 700, which is why Grouping is essential to my sorting of series.
HELP!!!!!

Thank you so much. That works just fine. However, I also just discovered something. Evidently, at least some of the fields in list view are editable. By adding Grouping to the columns shown and clicking on the empty field, I was actually able to type whatever I needed into the field.
I have not yet tried it with other fields, but will do so to see if it works for all fields in the list view.

What happened to the Author field in Pages 5?

In Pages '09 (4.1) you could View the Author field of a document in Inspector, Info. Those 'Info' fields appear to be gone in Pages 5.0.1. Are they located somewhere else now?

Ditto. This is sad. The app changes and loses features. The old app was pretty nice. The new one is pretty but not nice.
What is even more pretty (as in pretty sad) is that I have to use MS Word now more often because of Pages 5.x) to get things done... minor things like identifying the author of a document.
Hard to have faith in this company and products when they leave you swinging in the breeze with half baked products that have so much potential but like raw cookie dough, can give you an upset stomach after you commit to a plate full.
Put another way, to switch to using my iPad for work I have to be able to rely on Pages on my Mac and my iPad to not leave me swinging in the breeze like this (and this is one example of many many examples).
I really don't mind paying for Pages, even out of my own pocket, but it has to live up to some minimal Pages 4 standard.

What happened to the "Group Gripper" in CC 2014?

This thing in the upper right hand corner of grouped panels used to let you move all the tabs at once time. It was super helpful for redocking a group of panels in a floating window into another window. Now if you want to dock the panels again you have to move each tab individually. There isn't a "Dock Grouped Panels" option in the menu drop down on the individual tabs and I can't seem to find something that functions similarly to the group gripper. It's still mentioned in the AE Help Workspace page.
This isn't a problem specific to one computer either. My computer at home (Window 8.1), at work (OSX Mountain Lion), as well as a local studio (Windows 8) I've been freelancing all don't have it.
Is this a bug with the recent UI reskin? Or is this a purposeful change? I hope it isn't because it really eats up my time when I have 5 panels that need to be moved at once.

Thanks for the quick response. What was the reason behind removing it? And is there any ETA on when it'll return?

What happens to the stage if I get directions via Maps

Simple fact:
1. I'm using my Director-developed iOS iPhone app
2. I switch to Maps
3. I get directions
4. When I switch to my app the stage is smaller and the upper side of if is occupied by the green status of Maps turn-by-turn indicator
5. I return to Maps and turn off turn-by-turn indications
6. I return to my app and... et voilà: the stage is shifted down by 20 pixel (40 on retina devices).
I think it's a bug.
But I suppose Apple will never let me sell/giveavay my ap via their Store because of it...
Thanks.

Hi Alex,
window(1).rect seems to sometimes work under iOS.
on activateApplication
     if window(1).rect.top > 0 then
          window(1).rect = _system.deskTopRectList[1]
     end if
end
SHOULD re-centre the window (assuming your movie has the same dimensions as the screen)
Unfortunately the "on activateApplication" handler only seems to work when the iDevice is woken, instead of when the Director app is brought to the front.
Also the "window(1).rect" function notes changes within the handler that resets window(1).rect, but doesn't seem to notice the change later on.
Later calls to window(1).rect.top always return 0.
However "window(1).rect = _system.deskTopRectList[1]" seems to work consistently.

I have NO way to type in the website I'm looking for. What happened to the "address" field

When I'm on IE, I can type in the web address, hit "enter" and be directed to where I want to go. It is now missing from the Firefox application. Pretty weird.

Hi ptorrie,
Try going to ''View > Toolbars > Navigation toolbar''. That will bring the address bar back.
I also see that you are running an older version of Firefox. You should consider updating. There are a lot of benefits to running the latest version of Firefox. If you are interested, take a look at the Knowledge Base article [[Updating Firefox]].
Hopefully this helps!

What happened to the padlock showing my ordering info on a website is secure?

I used to see a padlock in the bottom right-hand corner of my screen whenever I was on a secured website, i.e. amazon.com, placing an order. The padlock would appear when it was time to enter credit card info, etc. I recently installed the latest version of Firefox, and today I ordered something from a website I visit occasionally but I didn't see the padlock indicating that I was on a secure page. I went to amazon.com to check it out there, and encountered the same thing. Is there another indicator showing the info I'm entering is secure, and I am just missing it? My husband is already nervous about ordering stuff online. I need to know my info is secure when I order online. Thanks for the help.

The padlock has been replaced by the site identity button, for details on using it see https://support.mozilla.com/kb/Site+Identity+Button
If you want to add a padlock icon to the location bar, you can use the Padlock add-on - https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/addon/padlock-icon/

Where is the Grouping field saved to?

Hello.....
I need an answer to this because I can't seem to find it anywhere.
When you enter information into the grouping field for any track, where is that information saved to? Is it embedded into the song's file, or is it saved to the iTunes .itl file, or both?
I ask because I'd like to type "5 stars" or whatever in this field, so that way, if anything happens to my .itl file, and I'm unable to recover my song ratings that way, I'll have this as backup. All I'll have to do is select all songs that say "5 stars" in the grouping field, click "get info", and rate them all 5 stars....and I'm good to go. I'm pretty sure that the "Comments" field saves to the .itl file.....so that's of no use obviously.
If anyone has a concrete answer, please let me know. Thanks!

I just tried it with an MP3. Grouping and Comments are saved to the file. Rating is not.

Hi Piotr!
The Search function of  Discussions, has been temporarily disabled.
Here is a link to the Announcement.
And a subsequent Announcement.
But you can use Google Advanced Search.
As an example;
On the page linked to above, in the text field for "this exact wording or phrase:" if you enter: search function,
and in the text field for "Search within a site or domain:" enter: discussions.apple.com/,
it returns These Results.

What events change the Created field in, finder, get info

On my laptop, in finder, in the get info screen there are 2 fields the Created Date and Modified Date fields.
I was looking at these fields for an app that I use on my iPhone, it was listed in finder, so I clicked the get info option.
The created date and modified date were 10/16 both the same.
I have not used this app in a long time, my question is this.
What event changes the created field? If the app was downloaded on the Iphone will the created field get updated in finder?
or if it was an update on itunes, would that change the created date in finder?
Does the created date mean that the app was downloaded and installed on that date?

Thank you so much. That works just fine. However, I also just discovered something. Evidently, at least some of the fields in list view are editable. By adding Grouping to the columns shown and clicking on the empty field, I was actually able to type whatever I needed into the field.

What happens to the original photo after editing? Does it get replaced by the edited photo?

I just bought my first iPhone(5). On Android, when editing a photo, the original stays in your gallery and the edited photo gets placed right next to it. So what I want to know is, When editing a photo in the photo app, what happens to the original since it would be nice to be able to make different edits of it.

That is an excellent question. This is definitely not the programmed behavior of Photoshop Elements. Normally, when you edit a file, a new copy of the file is created (the original is simply left alone). This new copy of the file will have "_edited-1" added to the end of the name. It should definitely not be adding $ to the name at all.
Just as a test, create a new user account on your computer, and try editing another image to see if does the same thing there. However, I suspect there is another application on your computer that is modifying how files are saved, deleted, and renamed.

What happened to the nifty "sync" button in iTunes? It syncs as soon as I plug it in, and that's great! BUT! When I go to the iTunes Store and buy new stuff, I can't just 'sync' the device again so my new stuff gets added. Why?

Nothing happened to it.
It is still there. Maybe it says apply now, not sure, but it is still there.

What happened to the sidebar in 12 ? Can I get it back

what happened to the sidebar in ITunes 12 ? Can I get it back ?

Go through each of the sources Music, Movies etc. and select Playlists. Use the elipsis ... to enable sources. Apps, Tones, and Internet Radio don't have a Playlists button, the others do and remember your selection. Not exactly the same as the old sidebar, but not too different.

What happens when the computer get too full of e-mails? Will it automatically start deleting ... or give you some kind of warning?? I never delete personal mail right away since I might want to refer back to it, and then the first thing I know, I've got

What happens when the computer get too full of e-mails? Will it automatically start deleting ... or give you some kind of warning?? I never delete personal mail right away since I might want to refer back to it, and then the first thing I know, I've got a big backlog.

It will not automatically delete any emails; you will need to do that. You may suffer performance issues in Mail if you let your mailboxes become too bloated. And, aside from Mail, the files take up a lot of room are photos, videos, and music, so you might want to watch those - every once in a while, check how much hard drive space you have and make sure you empty the trash regularly. Checking your hard drive space: highlight your Macintosh HD icon on the desktop; hit Command + I and check the total capacity, and how much is left.

What happened to the 'more' button on the bottom of the apps store? It seems to have been replaced by the 'updates' button. I want to get the 'more' button back.

What happened to the 'more' button at the bottom of the apps store screen? It seems to have been replaced by the 'updates' button, and I want the 'more' button back.

When using the back button I keep getting the drop down box when I do not want it. For me the hold down time before the box opens is far too short.
I would be quite happy to always right click to get the drop down. Is there any way to disable this feature when using the left button or for making the delay longer?

What happened to the 'get all' podcast option?

what happened to the 'get all' podcast option?

It's disappeared!
I don't mean to be flippant, but I couldn't think of a more appropriate opening response.
I've had this happen to me in the past, and it has just re-occurred with the latest iTunes update. The solution is to download iTunes again (don't remove or delete your existing iTunes) and then start the installation procedure. One of the two options you see should be a Repair option. Use that and all will be well again.
Your post prompted me to repair my iTunes (for just that reason) and while it was running, I noticed a very brief message about "Get Podcast", in other words,it was the repair being applied. The procedure only took a few minutes and I didn't need to close other programmes or re-start my computer.
By the way, I like your user ID, are you intending that your first born becomes ;adxcjghvldxkjfghbv ll?
