Why when I copy a CD from my PC to iTunes do the tracks load into different sections of the library?
I've just bought an ipod touch 64gb and have successfully set up iTunes etc. The issue is that when I paste a CD into iTunes from my PC sometimes the tracks are as on the CD but other times they get split up and can be found throughout the iTunes Library. When I try and drag them to the correct album it won't let me drop it. Should I be doing something else or is this a known feature of iTunes that I must learn to live with.
Generally all you need to do is fill in an appropriate Album Artist. For more details see my article on Grouping Tracks Into Albums, in particular the topic One album, too many covers.

I dl a file it goes to my doenload folder,then i copy it to another folder for example document,then when i delete it from download it will erase at all? why?
is it ok to have the file in both downloads and document? it will not be more size?If you copy it to another folder, e.g., Documents, and you can see it in the Downloads folder then you now have two copies of the file. If you delete one copy, the other stays intact. If you keep both, there is no harm, although the amount of disk space used is twice as big as when you only keep one copy.

I'd copied some pictures from a PC to a folder in Finder in my new iMac. The 'Date Created' in iMac is not the same as the 'Date Created' in the PC. Why? Is there a way to fix that?
View Menu -> Sort Photos is a good way to start.
Some organising possibilities in iPhoto:
I use Events simply as big buckets of Photos: Spring 08, July - Nov 06 are typical Events in my Library. I use keywords and Smart Albums extensively. I title the pics broadly.
I keyword on a
Who
What
Where basis (The When is in the photos's Exif metadata). I also rate the pics on a 1 - 5 star basis.
Using this system I can find pretty much find any pic in my 50k library in a couple of seconds.
So, for example, I have a batch of pics titled 'Seattle 08' and a typical keywording might include: John, Anne, Landscape, mountain, trees, snow. With a rating included it's so very easy to find the best pics we took at Mount Rainier.
File -> New Smart Album
set it to 'All"
title contains Seattle
keyword is mountain
keyword is snow
rating is 5 stars
Or, want a chronological album of John from birth to today?
New Smart Album
Keyword is John
Set the View options to Sort By Date Ascending
Want only the best pics?
add Rating is greater than 4 stars
The best thing about this system is that it's dynamic. If I add 50 more pics of John to the Library tomorrow, as I keyword and rate them they are added to the Smart Album.
In the end, organisation is about finding the pics. The point is to make locating that pic or batch of pics findable fast. This system works for me. -
Why cant i copy my files from my computer?
why cant i copy my files from my computer?
What happens when you try, how are you doing it, and what are the files (music, films, documents ...) ?
If you are trying to copy documents then you first need an app on the iPad that supports the type of file that you want to copy to it - the iPad doesn't have a file system like a 'normal' computer, everything has to be associated with an app. As to how you then get the file to your chosen app will depend upon what the app supports - different apps will have different ways of copying their content to/from a computer e.g. via the file sharing section at the bottom of the device's apps tab when connected to iTunes, via wifi, email, dropbox etc.
If you are trying to copy music or films then are you using your computer's iTunes ?

Simply because your Explorer/Finder only takes into account the file names and dates of your files.
For instance, in Windows, you have to tell the explorer to sort by 'date taken' otherwise the default sort orders are file dates or file names.
If you have given a 'custom' sort order to your albums, the only way for the Explorer to sort in the same way is to set the custom sort order in the album, export to a new folder with the 'rename' option - same starting text string plus order. -
When I copy and paste from Word to my e-mail using Firefox it changes the font and spacing to single space and 10pt.
It just started doing this a month ago.
It does not do it when I am on my laptop or using Explorer.
Help, I hate explorer.If this were a project that I was involved in, I would recapture the media at the correct frame rate and rebuild the sequences correctly.
Moving from production, to post production, to delivery is a series of steps, and the success of any particular step is based on having all the preceding steps done correctly.
Shortcuts and workarounds tend to create awkward and difficult problems, that often only surface late in the process.

Is it possible to preserve the layer name when I copy and paste from Illustrator into Photoshop?
At the moment it just appears as "Vector Smart Object" in Photoshop and I have to take another step and change the layer name.
Thank you!Not that I know. PS doesn't care for these kinds of things and uses its own naming system.

When I copied a photo from any site, how can I see it in iPhoto
When I copied a photo from any site, how can I see it in iPhoto?
When you tap and hold on image in safari, there will be context menu. Usually there two options at least:
* Save image
* Copy
If you'll tap Copy - it will be copied to buffer and you can paste it at your new email (for ex.)
If you'll tap Save image - it will be saved in Photos app on your iPad (in my case it saves at Camera roll album) -
When I copy and paste from an online chart, some cells that had dashes or hyphens in them in the online chart paste into Numbers cells as dates, e.g., 12-13 pastes as Dec. 13, 2012. I have tried changing the cell formats for that column from "automatic" to "text", but that doesn't fix it. Is there a way to copy/paste this information without changing the original characters?
If you know how many rows/columns you are planning to paste, then make the table that big BEFORE you paste. In addition select all cells in the table by selecting any cell, then type the key combination <COMMAND>+a (for select all.
Then use the cells inspector to make the cells formatted as text:
I hope this helps -

When I copy and paste from illustrator to PS regardless of option chosen the original shape size is lost, instead of true size shape tries to fill entire width. Same happens when using the new library assets.
Fix?
ThanksCan't always make sense of its effect, but I suspect what your seeing comes under the influence of Photoshop > Preferences > General > Options > Resize Image During Place
