Why is iCloud changing metadata of purchases?

I am an audiophile & slightly OCD. I admit it. All of my music has to be organized a certain way. I have noticed that since upgrading to iTunes 11, all of my purchases have changed.
Let's say all my Metallica is set as Metal for the genre. There's a song or 2 that I had purchased that were marked as Rock, and I changed them to match all the others. Well, since upgrading iTunes, these songs keep changing back to Rock instead of keeping the Metal genre.
This goes for my entire purchases folder. Genres, Song names (I like having every word in a song title start with a capital letter), Album title (I usually remove 'Deluxe Edition', or whatever).
I'm assuming it's because of the iCloud integration that it's doing this. Is there any way of making it stop this? Or is it just the way the new iTunes is made now? ... cuz this is annoying as ****, keeping to change the 'info' on my purchased songs & albums!
Cheers!

No I'm not.
I also made sure that in Preferences, "Show iTunes in the Cloud" was unchecked (in case it was that causing all my grief), but no luck.

Why does Match list the iCloud status of iTunes purchased songs as "Exceeded Limit"?

Why does Match list the iCloud status of iTunes purchased songs as "Exceeded Limit"?

because you have loaded over 25,000 songs to the icloud library. to find out exactly what is in icloud from itunes match follow these directions to create a blank itunes library and load only the itunes match songs from icloud.
1. You will need to know the location of your iTunes library for later, the default is under music under your username. If its not there find it and remember where it is for later.
2. Then you have to exit iTunes and create a new empty library. To do this hold the option key when you open iTunes. Choose create Library on the pop up dialogue. Create the library anywhere on your system, you can delete the entire library once you have completed your iCloud changes.
3. When the library opens in iTunes it will be empty. Click on iTunes Match and click the start button. after it finishes all of the songs on your iCloud match account will be listed under music.
if you want to delete some or all songs from icloud so you can re-sync itunes match to show the songs in your current library fowwow this.
4. you can select up to 1000 at a time and delete them.
5. when you have deleted what you want, close iTunes and open again holding the option key and navigate to your original library, usually in the music folder under your username. You should be all set and can click iTunes match again and your account will be populated with the ones in your current library.
6. You can navigate to the temp library you created in finder and delete it as it is no longer needed.

HT4946 when you change your country of orgin. why cant you buy in app purchases from apps that you downloaded in the previous country?

when you chane your country of orgin. why cant you buy in-apps purchases from apps which you bought in the previous country?

Bob,
Apple did approve our in-app purchase without publishing the folio ahead of time.
I have a new question: Can I change the "Cleared for sale" attribute in the iTunes Connect interface from no to yes before a folio's scheduled publication date? Or should I wait until after the folio has been published?
I would think you could set the "Cleared for sale" attribute to yes before the publication date and it would not cause any problems since the folio is not available to purchase until it's published.

Changing Metadata Deletes Artwork-Why?!

So, I'm 40, and I like whole albums. Spotify and Pandora are not things that work with me. And I'm not jumping into this cloud thing because I end up in areas with no service. I want my music with me, on my own terms, because I own it. It's mine.
I'm also a music nerd and like to change the metadata in the Info section of the albums. Specifically, I prefer to put the year the album was release in parenthesis after the album title. That way I can reference that when I'm on the go and am using my iPod (don't get me started on how I feel about the iPod being discontinued…DON'T!)
I've been able to do this in the past with no problems. But now when I try it, after I enter the change and hit the OK button, it deletes the album artwork. Is this because I haven't upgraded to the current version? I'm only a version or two behind. And really, much like making a folder on my desktop for Word files, I consider iTunes a filing system that I have control over because it's full of music that I own.
Am I being naive in believing this?
The reason I don't upgrade the iTunes often is because they keep changing the layout. Again, this is my system. They need not change it around. But if you go too long without upgrading then it doesn't work with iTunes.
Which, again, as a system for my own personal files, makes no sense. Feel free to upgrade your store all you want, but don't make it impossible to use because some of us don't want to have our system totally overworked for no good reason. And iTunes works just fine. Who is trying to justify the job that they know they don't really deserve by "fixing" what isn't broken? Stop it, whoever you are.
So, sorry, this is a heated subject for me…bottom line, why is this change in the metadata deleting my artwork? And while we're here, bring back the frigging iPod! You can't get parts for the hard drive anymore? That's your excuse? You rule the world! That's insane to say that!
I'd love to ask iTunes support for help on this, but since my "contract" has expired, they want $29 to do so. And I buy music and movies on iTunes on a weekly basis. I used to think that Apple had good support but that has changed after tonight.
Anyone out there have a quick fix for this issue… the artwork one?
Thanks.

Why does iCloud store only purchased music?

I have both purchased and downloaded from cd music on my iPad and iPod. I am unable to sync either with my pc as it says the content will be replaced with purchased items. Whilst I can load this stuff again ther are two purchased items, a film which oesn't show T all and video clip shows but says ineligible at the side of it. Why is it not showing all purchased items and also the other items or can it not do that and if not what is the point to it. Can anyone help me sort?

iTunes in the Cloud only stores purchased music; if you want your uploaded music to be available in the Cloud as well, then you may want to consider subscribing to iTunes Match. It's a yearly subscription for $24.99 and it can store up to 25,000 songs. It also upgrades your music to 256-kbps DRM-free AAC. Sounds a whole lot better than standard MP3.

How to change an Existing Purchase Requisition Document in MM.

Hi Folks,
I want to write a program to change a existing Purchase Requisition in MM.
I found two BAPI's BAPI_PR_CHANGE and BAPI_REQUISITION_CHANGE , which could be used to change PR document in ECC.
I have following question:
1) why we have two seprate BAPI's for changing PR.
2) Do we need to use both BAPI's to change PR, depending on what value we are trying to change.
3) Is it optional to use any of these two BAPI's
Or do we have any other way to implement this PR change process.( Bcoz of when i tried to debug standard PR change process, none of these two BAPI's has been called)
Which FM or method is called when, we try to change and save PR document manually.
I would appriciate, if some one has any sample code to implement this PR change process.
Regards
PG

BAPI_REQUISITION_CHANGE is the older BAPI, the one based on the older ERP transaction (ME5x family), while BAPI_PR_CHANGE is the newest one, referring to the "recent" Enjoy transaction (ME5xN family).
They both satisfy you task probably, but if you can chose, I'd go for BAPI_PR_CHANGE.

You can use the first or the second one, it's indifferent. The newest one will also trigger user exits from ME5xN family. Which transactions are used by the users on the ERP? Choose with regards to the transactions used during the normal activity.

Normal PR change operativity doesn't use BAPI. BAPIs are used to create/modify docs from "external" systems (it's not properly true, but let assume it), they provide a simple interface to populate with PR data and the process of creation/modification will trigger every check/userexit already defined for the standard transactions on the ERP.
In example, suppose that in ME51N you defined a custom check in a specific userexit which don't allow an user to create a material item which have odd quantity (odd example, I know ). Then using BAPI_PR_CREATE you will not be able to create a PR with items with odd quantity, because the same check will be executed.

Change Document - for purchase order

Hi all,
when i make some changes in the purchase order(ME22N) it is stored in the table CDPOS but when i change the delivery address field this alone is not stored. what may be the reason? and how to do it?
can anyone help me in this?
helpfull answers will be rewarded with points..
Thanks,
Murali.

Saquib,
No, this is not directly linked to the customer or vendor master. What happens is, during PO creation the delivery address is picked up from the address of the plant, but that can be updated via both BAPI and transaction.Each time this address gets changed, SAP generates a new ADRNR and store that address in ADRC.
This might help you in future in case you face such situation. I faced this only a few months and that's why I remeber this so clearly.
Murali,
Please award points and close the thread if it helped you.

Why is not it possible to purchase music using iTunes 6.x anymore?

Until two weeks ago, I was perfectly able to access and purchase songs using the last version of iTunes 6. Now however, I'm told I must use iTunes 7.x to make any purchases and downloads (these are not iTunes Plus tracks). Why is this?
I don't run iTunes 7.x installed on my machine since it runs like an absolute pig and takes several minutes to launch; there's nothing special about the tracks I'm trying to purchase and download, so I don't know why the sudden removal of access?

I was just curious as to why any changes (regarding iTS purchases) via Software Update couldn't suffice.
Well there was a software update to iTunes just a day or so ago. I can't tell you why they don't detail DRM updates, but my guess is twofold
1) The majority of people are running the most current version of iTunes.
2) Contractually, they can't disclose the details of the DRM and it's updates.

Why did they change itunes. i do not like it. miss the album scroll

why did they change itunes. i do not like it. miss the album scroll and ablum cover in bootom corner.

I love the new version of Grid view but some of the other changes feel like they still need some fine tuning. And I miss cover flow even if I didn't use it that often...
You can restore much of the look & feel of the previous version with these shortcuts:
Ctrl+B to turn on the menu bar
Ctrl+S to turn on the sidebar (your device should be listed here as before)
Ctrl+/ to turn on the status bar
Click the magnifying glass top right and untick Search Entire Library to restore the old search behaviour
Use View > Hide <Media Kind> in the cloud or Edit > Preferences > Store and untick Show iTunes in the cloud purchases to hide the cloud items. The second method eliminates the cloud status column (and may let iTunes start up more quickly)
Should you still feel the need to roll back to iTunes 10.7 first download a copy of the 32 bit installer or 64 bit installer as appropriate, uninstall iTunes and suppporting software, i.e. Apple Application Support & Apple Mobile Device Support. Reboot. Restore the pre-upgrade version of your library database as per the diagram below, then install iTunes 10.7.
See iTunes Folder Watch for a tool to scan the media folder and catch up with any changes made since the backup file was created.
