Why does it take an eternity to change the name of a Title in my iTunes movie library?

When I goof up and put a movie into my iTunes library with an error in the name, I click on the name and change it.  My spinning wheel starts up and just goes and goes and goes.  All I did was change the title of a movie; this should be simple.  Why does that take an eternity?  It happened in Snow Leopard and it happens in Lion.

When you change a tag, iTunes needs to rewrite the file back to the disc.
If the file is a 4MB MP3 it only takes a second, but with a large movie file it can take a while.

  • Why does it take 10 days to replace the iPhone or iPad in the Czech Republic? I am considering a change to Samsung!

    Why does it take 10 days to replace the iPhone or iPad in the Czech Republic? I am considering a change to Samsung!

    It will probably take a week and three days to replace your Samsung in the Czech Republic. In the U.S., if I sent my iPhone or iPad in for warranty work, it would take 7-10 days as well. Yes, I do have the option of taking it to an Apple Store, which you may not be able to do. Samsung doesn't have stores at all in the U.S. I would be dependet on my carrier for warranty replacements.

  • Why does it takes so long to download the new version of Itunes?

    why does it takes so long to download the new version of Itunes?

    Since you cannot download iTunes on an iPod touch, this would not seem to be the correct forum for this question. I'd suggest you post full details of your problem in either the iTunes for Mac forum or the iTunes for Windows forum, as applicable to your system.
    Regards.

  • Why does dragging on a Touch Screen change the cursor into a Hand Tool?

    Why does dragging on a Touch Screen change the cursor into a Hand Tool? This did not happen in CS 5.5 and I could edit on my touch screen monitor. With Photoshop CS 6, as soon as I start to drag, the cursor changes to a hand cursor. I have look at all of the system options and nothing seems to affect it so I have to assume it is something wrong with Photoshop CS 6.

    Try staying with it for a while.  It is much nicer panning that way.  Give it a flick, and touch the screen again when in the right position. 
    I think it came in with CS4 BTW, but it makes a lot of sense keeping it on the Touch version.

  • How do I change the name property of a file in a document library?

    I am trying to come up with an Event Receiver that will change the name property of an file when it is uploaded. For instance when a file is uploaded into a document Library, currently the Title is being generated (which is fine)...I want to be able to
    change the "Name" property from whatever it is, to match exactly what is in the "Title" property. Are there any sample codes/blogs out there that I can take a look at? Has anyone  had any experience doing this? It seems like something
    that should be straight forward, to change the "Name" property to match what is in the "Tilte" property.

    Hi,     
    You can try the code below which use the SPFile.MoveTo() function to change the name of the file.
    EventFiringEnabled = false;
    SPFile f = properties.ListItem.File;
    string spfileExt = new FileInfo(f.Name).Extension;
    f.MoveTo(properties.ListItem.ParentList.RootFolder.Url +
    "/" + properties.ListItem["Title"]+ "_new" + spfileExt);
    f.Update();
    EventFiringEnabled = true;

  • HT2470 Why does this not explain how to change the sort order?

    Why does this (i.e. support at Apple.com) not explain how to change the sort order? I can "arrange" by Date Modified for example but it won't let me switch to use most recent dates first. Also, what is Apple-speak for arrange versus sort anyway? It seems I used to be able to click on a column heading in finder and get a drop down arrow allowing me to change the sort sequence.

    Arrange roughly translates to "group the items in the folder." Sort is how each group is ordered. If you have arrange set to none, you can sort by anything. However, there is no way in the Arrange/Sort menu to choose the direction. The only way to do that is in the List View, and you must have Arrangement set to None.
    I've submitted an Enhancement Request to allow choosing sort direction from the Arrange/Sort menu, but I haven't ever gotten a response, which is good and bad. Good because they will often respond that they have considered it and don't plan on implementing. Bad in that they've haven't implemented it.

  • Why does placing links in Illustrator now change the "Date Modified" data for all of my files?

    This seems to be a new glitch that started after I installed the latest updates to Illustrator CC (2014) and reoccurs every time on both computers I work on:
    When I choose to place a new image in my Illustrator file and the window opens to let me choose a file to place, the "Date Modified" field of all the files in the folder I'm viewing (except other Illustrator files) quickly changes to the current date and time. This is definitely happening when I'm in Illustrator because when I needed files from a folder that had hundreds of images in it and I was able to select a file quickly, I was able to do so before it had changed the date on all of my files. However, when I needed a file from a folder that had hundreds of images in it but I took a long time to find the image I needed, Illustrator had time to change the date modified on all of my files. This might seem like an unimportant issue because it doesn't actually seem to modify or damage any of my files, but having all of the dates change on my files is a serious problem for my workflow and file management issues. So far, my only work around has been to use back-up image files, but that's not a long term solution and I don't understand why Illustrator should be modifying the dates of my files.
    Is there a setting I can choose somewhere to prevent this problem? If not, is there somewhere I can report this kind of glitch? I'm not sure if I'm using the exact language necessary to get the issue across so please let me know if you have any questions! Thanks!

    iCloud is not compatible with Snow Leopard, that is your problem.
    A quick way out is to purchase Soho Organizer which is compatible, even when running on Snow Leopard, it will correctly handle Contacts and Calendars from iCloud. $100, 2 user license.

    There is a free trial if you want to try it.

  • Why does my LG Cosmos 2 calendar change the start time to the same as the end time?

    This does not happen all the time but often enough to be a pain.  When I enter a new appointment in the calendar sometimes the phone changes the start time to what I entered as the end time.  I thought maybe it was me but it happened twice today and I watched carefully to make sure I was entering it correctly.  I was and it is the phone making the change.  How do I fix this?

    Hi AyaniB
    It's been doing it for some time. It seems to be random in occurrence. The day I made the post it happened three times. Since then I have been watching carefully and it does not seem to have happened again. Am I missing any phone updates or anything? How do I check that?
    Thanks for your help.

  • Why Does Leopard Take an Eternity to Secure Empty Trash

    Hi Gang
    With regard to Leopard 10.5, in a Single 1.8 G5, I researched this a bit, and forgive me but, it's hard to believe I'd have to resort to 3rd party 'Super Trashers', just to get the job done.
    After comparing the time it took 5 small files to empty in Leopard as compared to 1,500 Video Files in Tiger, it was astounding!
    Sooo... here's what I've done (so far); with respect to the System Drive and 2nd internal storage drive 'Sharing & Permissions', I clicked on 'Get Info' and made sure that everything is now set to 'READ & WRITE'
    I don't know if this will make any difference - we'll see ...
    Any other ideas?
    Thanx
    Mike

    Thanx guys
    Whatever the reason, I've convinced, (at least in my particular case), there is a DEFINITE difference between my two systems. Secure Empty Trash in Leopard is problematic.
    Since I don't have anything important in this particular system, I'm willing to do a fresh install of Leopard. But as I said, there was already a fresh install performed in this 160 Gig 2004 system drive.
    I'll stick with Tiger in my other system. This is where I have all the applications I need for the documentary. I treat this system with loving care. The other G5, (with Leopard), is used for other supplemental back up tasks. But again, performing Disk Permissions is 3 times as long, and Secure Empty Trash NEVER completes itself. (I realize one has nothing to do with the other)
    I've heard of other 3rd party applications getting the job done, (info on the forum). Anyone know which one works best?

  • After clicking on a link, why does it take so long to find the site - and sometime not find it at all?

    This seemed to begin right after Firefox update several wks ago. It sometimes takes up to 2 min to find a site after I click on link (whether in an email or on another site). This has been happening at least 90% of the time since then. There have been a few times when it did NOT happen; those seemed to be earlier in the day (mid-morning on W Coast) and possibly for a couple of days after Firefox did another update a few wks after the previous one. Sometimes it does not find the site at all and I get the "Oops! Sorry" msg.

    A possible cause is security software (firewall,anti-virus) that blocks or restricts Firefox or the plugin-container process without informing you, possibly after detecting changes (update) to the Firefox program.
    Remove all rules for Firefox and the plugin-container from the permissions list in the firewall and let your firewall ask again for permission to get full unrestricted access to internet for Firefox and the plugin-container process and the updater process.

  • Why does it takes so long to deliver the Retina iMac with modifications?

    I ordered an iMac 27" Retina 5K at a local retailer in Kapellen (Belgium). I have made some modifications to the basic model, e.g. Fusion HDD 3TB, more memory and so on. I am waiting for almost 4 weeks and no one can tell me when the machine will be ready. How comes? Does anybody has experience with this extremely long delivery times?

    You are absolutely right. I'm new on this forum. Sorry.
    I was only hoping that some Apple people would read this. By the way: Apple said: 3 weeks. We are starting the 5th week tomorrow, without any explanation. My apologies for my frustration.
    I see, then call Apple's online store and speak to a customer service agent. Ask for expedited shipping., don't be surprised if they say OK.

  • Why does it take so long to download the Epson driver update?

    App Store asked me to update my Epson printer software to 2.15.1 and I clicked OK... That was over an hour ago and it's not even at 3.6MB of the 39.7MB!!! It's giving me that crap about "7 hours and 3 minutes remaining".
    What's interesting is that just a few minutes before downloading this update, I downloaded IOS 7 and iTunes 11 in under 1 minute... Is there anyway I can find out where am I downloading this update from and what's causing it to go so slow?    

    They're around 400 - 500MB each, so it depends on the speed of your internet connection.
    After iOS 5 is released updates should be much smaller though.

  • I had two numbers for one of my contacts and I deleted one because it's no longer in use. But why does it appear when I type in the name (when starting a new message) with the word "other" next to it?

    And how do it delete that "other" number entirely from my phone? I've tried deleteing the contact and adding it in again, but it still appears
    Also, on an unrelated note, my phone tends to turn off at 10-7 percent. How can I fix this so it turns off after 1 percent? (the phone doesn't turn on after it turns off by itself unless you charge it)

    1. Don't wait until your phone completely discharges before charging the battery. To help with the battery percentage reset your phone. Press and hold the Home and Sleep buttons simultaneously ignoring the red slider should one appear until the Apple logo appears. Let go of the buttons and let the device restart. See if that fixes your problem.
    2. The phone remembers recently used items in addition to stored items. So the contact you want to delete is presently in the recently used category. If that phone number is not used it will eventually disappear from your phone. Patience IDs the key here.
