When adding songs to Itunes library, itunes stops working

When adding songs to itunes library it stops wokring and itunes closes.

I'm having the exact same problem and I came to this forum seeking the answer.
To go into more detail, the problem occurs when you click on 'Add File to Library', then select multiple songs from a folder using the CTL key. You can add tracks individually with no problem. Use CTL to choose two or three tracks, that works fine, too. But if you choose more than that, nothing gets added to the Library.
If I had to guess, I'm thinking it might have something to do with the total number of characters allowed (on the selected tracks) before the 'Add to Library' pop-up form basically fails to work properly. I've also noticed the magic number of selected tracks to be somewhere in the 3-4 range before it doesn't work.
It definitely feels like a software bug and I've experienced it in more than one version of iTunes, including the current release. I'm hoping Apple will recognize and fix it sometime soon. Having to go into the same folder three or four times to import 10 or more tracks from the same album is pretty irritating.

hello, this is a scam tactic that is trying to trick you into installing malware, so don't download or execute this kind of stuff! as you've rightly mentioned, you're already using the latest version of firefox installed and you can always initiate a check for ''updates in firefox > help > about firefox''.
you might also want to run a full scan of your system with the security software already in place and different tools like the [http://www.malwarebytes.org/products/malwarebytes_free free version of malwarebytes], [http://www.bleepingcomputer.com/download/adwcleaner/ adwcleaner] & [http://www.kaspersky.com/security-scan kaspersky security scan] in order to make sure that there isn't already some sort of malware active on your system that triggers these false alerts.

When exporting files to web pages Aperture keeping losing files, so for instance, if I choose to export 600 images to a new web page, it might do 524 images but not the full 600. I've tried resetting Aperture, it's the latest version etc etc. Help please!

If anyone can help me with this I would be seriously grateful.
When exporting mutliple files to web pages Aperture keeping losing files, so for instance, if I choose to export 600 images to a new web page, it might make 524 pages but not the full 600. I've tried resetting Aperture and its persmission and am using the latest version of 3.
I have 3600 images which I need to upload as sublfolders, each with their own URL and at the moment Aperture is dropping of anything from 1 to 90 images.
This is critical as people need to see each and every on of these images online. So if a file has 600 photos in it, Aperture should make a URL with 600 full image pages. And this is what it's not doing. On small files, say 30 or so it seems to work well, it's when it gets to more than that the problem starts.
I've used Aperture in the past under previous versions and not had this problem.
Any help would be great.
Thanks.
Bob.

Hi Jack,
Thanks for responding (as it seems as though no one else has been able to provide any insight as of yet)! Not sure if you saw my recent post, but the version of Aperture on the 2008 MacBook has been upgraded to 3.1.2 (not sure how; I bought it in 2009, but only have OS X 10.5.8... which apparently can't house 3.1.2 of Aperture, but hey, like many other anomalies i'm encountering, I'm no longer surprised!). I am unable to upgrade it any further, as it warns me that my OS X does not fit the requirements. I exported the projects as libraries; however, like I posted before, apparently these are from too old of a version for the new Aperture (3.3.1) to handle and import.
It's getting to the point where I'd almost pay to upgrade the OS X on my previous MacBook (10.5.8) to something newer in order to THEN update Aperture to a newer version; however, my previous MacBook simply cannot handle this (the specs are awful -- hence my decision to save up and upgrade to the newest MBP with Retina).
I've spent hours upon hours transferring files, libraries as projects, previews, versions, even masters (though, apparently some of them aren't accessible?) with no luck. I've rebuilt the library and reprocessed everything. And this is all after having to return one MBP already since Aperture 3.3.1 is glitch-y as it is, and froze everything for having a "managed library". So, now that I know that I have to deal with a referenced library in Aperture... I just need to actually transfer my previous library to my new one (hopefully WITH adjustments since these are years worth of photos and work).
Again, any help is appreciated. I've lost enough sleep, time, and vision health over this at this point.
Also, I know Migration Assistant is an option, I was told that it wouldn't work properly anyway because of the different operating systems, and the potential for problems.

When adding a file to library in iTunes 8 it is not played automatically

Hi,
Before iTunes 8, double-clicking on an mp3 file, would add it to the iTunes Library and play it automatically. However in iTunes 8, when a file is added to the library, it is not played automatically and we have to find it in the list and play it.
Is there a way to make iTunes 8 to play the file as soon as it is added or is this a bug?

According to MacWorld the following terminal commands should restore that behaviour for you:
*defaults write com.apple.iTunes play-songs-while-importing -bool TRUE*

"Party Hightlight" shows up when adding an Arrow from Library?

Hello,
I am getting some strange behavior from Encore CS4.
When I add a pre-made arrow from the library to my menu to be used as a subpicture, what I get on the menu is "Party Highlight".
This happens on the four different arrows I have tried to throw on the menu.
I made the menu by dragging "blank menu" from the library.
What is going on here?
I have been dragging arrows from the library since Encore 1.0
Could my issues with Encore CS4 have anything to do with having Encore v1 still on my system?
I am getting some really basic bugs here.
Thanks

JBowden,
I don't know how to read what you are getting at with this statement - "Is this arrow a shape in the Library? If you're dragging it into a blank menu, what did you expect to happen?"
Is this some kind of attitude or sincere question?
I will restate what was written in my post:
1) - I created a menu by dragging the "blank menu" from the library
2) - Finished creating my buttons and wanted to add some subpictures
3) - Dragged a premade arrow from the library into my project bin
4) - Then dragged the arrow from the project bin on to the menu
5) - What appear on the menu is the text "Party Highlight" - This is part of a premade menu which resides in the library
6) - Tried three different arrows from the library and none of them wind up as arrows on the menu, all show up as the text "Party Highlight".
The arrows are not showing up as arrows when they are added to the menu.

Please help! I am so frustrated!

I am having the EXACT same problem! This issue started with 10.4, but I am running Lion on a Core i7 MacBook Pro.
If I import one MP3 iTunes hangs for a minute or so. If I add an album it will hang for about 5-10 minutes. How AWFUL!

JAVA IOException when adding "org.jdom.*" in the list of the imports for Attributes.jsp

Hi all,
I am trying to use JDOM and was playing with the xml examples code(Attributes.jsp)
for WLS6.1SP2.
When I add the " org.jdom.* " to the list of the imports on the Attributes.jsp page
I get a java.io.exception.
Please HELP !!

You didn't post the exception.
It is probably caused by the JDOM JAR or classes not being available or an
IO error reading them (e.g. permissions issue on Unix).
Peace,

Am I able to use Microsoft Office when i switch users on my Macbook Air? I can find the applications, Excel Word etc, but when I try to open them it keeps taking me to a software update for Microsoft Office. Any tips on what to do???

I use 2 accounts, one for work and one for personal.
I have Microsoft Office, in my applications, and I can find it in my work user account, but when I try to open it, it keeps doing start up for Auto updates. and wont open the application. It works fine in my personal (Admin) account which is where I did migration when I bought the laptop. And I've looked on here for similar problems, and everyone says if it's in your applications it should work, but I can't open mine.
Anyone know what I can do?

Go to the main Library folder and look for a folder called Application Support / Microsoft.
There are a few folders in there, and you may have to do some digging. In one of them (mine is called MAU2.0), there should be a file called Microsoft Autoupdate. Open it.
It looks like this:
check the button for manual updates.
That should let you open the apps without triggering an automatic update.

When adding music it creates playlist

Whenever I click "add folder to library" I choose a folder, in this case "my music" because it has hundreds of artists in it. And I click "add", then it starts creating a playlist for every artists in the folder. I have had iTunes for years and this is the first time it has done this. I have made sure that "library" is highlighted when I selected "add folder to library". Does anyone else have this problem?

iTunes recently started importing m3u files when scanning folders for media. My guess is that somewhere you've created some m3u artist playlists with another application and that iTunes is adding them in when you get it to scan the entire media folder. Use iTunes Folder Watch instead.
See my script KillTopLevelPlaylists for a tool to tidy up...

I've moved an internal hard drive with all my music and library files to a new computer --- how can I get itunes to import the whole library while keeping my metadata?

I've always kept all my music on its own dedicated internal hard drive. Now I've got a new PC, finally made the switch to Windows 7 from XP, and I've moved my internal hard drive over to the new machine.
I installed iTunes, but I'm having a heck of a time getting it to import the music and library files, keeping all my playlists and metadata. Why is this so hard?

If your New to You Used Mac is froom mid 2012 and originally came with Lion installed on it you will need to Reinstall that version using the Online Internet Recovery system and then at first boot of the new install use the Setup Assistant system to copy over all the data from your wifes old hard drive.
To access the Online system at startup hold down the Command + Option/alt + r keys and keep them held down until you see a globe on the screen. From the resulting screen that cames up, Mac OS X Utilities, select Disk Utility and then the top most entry for the hard drive, left hand panel, drive model number and size, and then the Partition tab. Repartition the drive as One Partition, You Must do that to get ride of the Mavericks Recovery HD partition which is hidden. Name the partition Macintosh HD with a format of Mac OS Extended (Journaled).
Once that is done exit disk utility and select Reinstall Mac OS X.

Is it possible to specify the nodenum when adding a node to a RAC database

hi gurus
I have a 10.2 one-node cluster database,the olsnodes show that the current node has nodenum of 2(because I removed the nodenum 1 before because the machine needs to be replaced),now I want to add a new node to the cluster to replace the priviously removed node1,but finally I found that ORACLE will use nodenum 3 for the new node instead of nudenum1,
olsnodes command shows:
+[oracle@rac2 bin]$ ./olsnodes -n+
rac2 2
rac1 3
Is it possible to modify the nodenum or specify the nodenum when adding a new node?
Hoping I am understood,thanks for your time.

hi all
I have found the way to do it. Moidy the rootaddnode.sh to the desired nodenum before running it.It worked.
Thanks still!

Energy Management software keeps making shortcuts in the Start Menu

I just recently reformatted my laptop and installed Windows 7 Ultimate. I got the drivers from my laptop model's download page in the Lenovo support website, and everything was working fine - except for when the Lenovo Energy Management software would keep making shortcuts in the Start Menu every time I reboot the system.
I had my Start Menu organized, created folders to categorize my apps, so it's really annoying when a folder I already deleted pops up every time I start my laptop. Why does it happen? Is there a fix for it?

Hi Pommy,
Welcome to Lenovo Community!
I’m sorry to hear that a shortcut is automatically getting created, I would suggest you to re-install the LEM (Lenovo Energy Management) in the computer and while installing the driver right click on the downloaded file and select “Run as administrator” option to get it installed without any error.
Do post us back if the issue persists.
Best Regards
Shiva Kumar
