Won't display bands that starts with Z

My iPod has the strange, strange problem that it won't display ZZ Top. I can find the songs by searching through Albums, but they just don't show up on the All Artists list.

It is because Apple is doing you a favor by not letting you access ZZ Top songs.

Band that start with A then a space

For example, a band I like called A Change Of Pace is now under C. Which is dumb. Anyway to change it back so they're up at the top again? This happened as soon as I updated to the newest version of iTunes.

A at the beginning is ignored in by iTunes, just as "The" is ignored at the beginning.
Select on of the songs then right click - get info.
In the Sort Artist block, copy A Change Of Pace then OK.
On the song again, right click - Apply Sort order and select Same Artist. his will copy A Change Of Pace to the Sort Artist for all songs by the artist A Change Of Pace.
What iTunes does is sort on the Artist field unless something is in the Sort Artist field, then it uses that when sorting by Artist.

I am using Firefox 11 and I am unable to print web pages. I can print PDFs ok. I tried to open the prefs.js file to delete anything that starts with print and I get an error message.

I cannot print web pages. I've tried the solutions suggested like deleting anything that starts with print in the prefs.js file but I get an error message: Script: c:\users\rick\appdata\roading\mozilla\firefox\profiles\iviwh5c1.default\prefs.js
line: 1
Char: 1
Error: invalid character
code: 800A03F6
Source: Microsoft JScript compilation error

When editing '''prefs.js''' you need to use a simple text editor program. WinXP Notepad messes up the line formatting of prefs.js, so I use Wordpad - but you need to save the edited file in a Text-Only format (Wordpad asks about that when you go to save the edited file). I never used Win7, so I don't know if that version of Notepad messes with the line formatting of prefs.js or not.
Another thing - make sure '''''"Hide extensions for known file types"''''' is de-delected in Windows file / folder options > view -> advanced settings. Otherwise Windows may add a .txt file extension that you won't be able to see, and that will break that file in Firefox. '''prefs.js.txt''' won't be recognized by Firefox, when is expecting to find '''''prefs.js''''' .

Possible bug in iTunes 8 adding folders that start with '..'

So I discovered tonight when trying to load tracks into iTunes from a folder that started with '...' (specifically, '...andjustice_forall'). iTunes did nothing. No reaction whatsoever. If I try to load the mp3s in that folder directly, they load fine, but it ignores the whole folder if I try to add it to the library.
I tried to replicate the issue with another folder that also started with '...' ('...andyou_will_know_us_by_the_trail_ofdead'). Has anyone else observed this behaviour? I have a feeling if it's in iTunes 8, it's been around for a while. I'm guessing it's treating the first dot as an indication that the file's a hidden file, and then ignoring the rest of the name.
Can anyone else replicate this? I was loading files from an SMB share served by a Linux host.
cheers,
Klaus

I just sent feedback as suggested, hope this helps. What bothers me is that these songs were visible in previous versions of ITunes. I'd actually feel better if there were a setting I just missed that would explain the weird behavior.
Looking through support topics, I specifically did a search using ".38 Special" and found an article concerning the order in which Itunes displays artists, with .38 Special being at the top of the list in the example... so that also tells me that it SHOULD be showing them. sigh

What are the weird files that start with ._ that pc users get when I send zips?

When I send files that I zip using Stuiffit to pc users they get the files plus an equal number of files that start with ._ Does anybody know what these are and how to get rid of them?
Thanks!
Karen

Dot files are invisible files that OS X uses to display positions of files and folders icon for instance when you open a folder.
That is indeed what a .DS_Store file does, but that's not the ones Bogies is referring to.
There are various other items that start with a period, such as .Trashes. Every drive gets a trash folder, just as Windows does to each of its drives. While it hides its own trash folders from view, Windows doesn't recognize OS X's version of the trash folder, so you see it.
But you're likely talking about these. Every file you copy from OS X to a DOS/Windows formatted drive gets a ._ file. The Mac OS has a twin file system; the data fork, and the resource fork. Windows has only a data fork.
In order for OS X to maintain the resource fork data on a Windows drive, it has to write the resource data as a separate data fork file. So a file named foo.tif will also get a ._foo.tif file on the drive. Mac users don't see them since UNIX automatically hides anything that starts with a period. When you copy the file back to OS X, the data and resource fork info is combined again into a normal Mac file.
Most of the time, removing these are no big deal. They hold simple data like Type and Creator codes, modification dates, icons, etc. Others, like Mac Type 1 PostScript or Mac legacy TrueType fonts have all of the font data in the resource fork. Delete the ._ files for those types of fonts, and you're left with nothing.

Count files that start with a certain letter

I need a simple script to give me a count of the files in a certain folder that start with "A" or some other character that I might choose.
I tried this but got an error
count every file name starts with "A" of folder ProofsOutFolder
Thanks for the help.

You can also approach it this way...
<pre style="width:630px;height:auto;overflow-x:auto;overflow-y:hidden;"
title="Copy this code and paste it into your Script Editor application.">set theFolder to choose folder
set theChar to text returned of ¬
(display dialog "Enter Search Character:" default answer "A")
do shell script "find " & quoted form of POSIX path of theFolder & ¬
" -type f -name '" & theChar & "*'|awk 'END{print NR}'"</pre>
Just another option to try out.

How do I get rid of bad email that starts with info @ they jam if opened

Anybody know how to get rid of bad email that starts with info @ in the address bar? They jam the mail program if opened, now I have 25 that need to go! Help?

You only need to post once. You have to have some patience. I posted this response in your other question as well.
Don't open those emails, swipe across them in the preview window to bring up the red delete button and use that.
If the mail app is frozen and you can't do anything in it, close it from the recents tray and reboot the iPad.
From your home screen, double tap the home button and the recents tray will appear with all of your recent apps displayed at the bottom. Tap and hold down on any app icon until it begins to wiggle. Tap the minus sign in the upper left corner of the mail app icon. Tap the home button or anywhere above the task bar.
Reboot the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider if it appears on the screen - let go of the buttons. Let the iPad start up.

My macbook pro won't display on a tv with hdmi cable

My macbook pro won't display onto a tv with an hdmi cable. But it isn't the cable or the tv because it worked with my girlfriends macbook pro. When I tried it on her tv it came up with the display but it was sketchy. On my tv it won't show up. Is it a setting or could the display port be messed up?

I had same problem with mac air. After yosemite upgrade the firewall was on, turned it off and mac started to airplay to AppleTV again.

How to access a JSON structure key that starts with a number

I've got an odd issue here. I'm accessing someone else's JSON structure so I am not able to change it. The JSON structure keys are named with both characters and numbers like this:
0
198456
product_id
198456
1
Rashaan Houston feat Tony Loreto
artist
Rashaan Houston feat Tony Loreto
So, in other words, there's a key named "0" and a key named "product_id", both of which contain the same key. Why they did that, I don't know, but they did.
In one of the instances, the data stored under the text-named key isn't the same as the numerical-named key. I tried to output the data in the numerical key like this (it's an array of structures):
#strStompyJSON.data[1].0#
but I get the following error:
Invalid CFML construct found on line 41 at column 31.
ColdFusion was looking at the following text:
.0
When I do the following, it works fine:
#strStompyJSON.data[1].product_id#
So it looks as though CF doesn't like accessing a variable that starts with a number. I am able to loop through the structure using a collection loop, and it outputs all of the keys (including the numerical ones) and their values using the following code:
<cfloop collection="#strStompyJSON.data[1]#" item="key">
#key#: #strStompyJSON.data[1][key]#<br />
</cfloop>
However, that doesn't allow me a way to access specific keys named with a number. Is there a way that I can specifically access a key that is named with a number?
thanks!
Mike

No problem--glad it worked out.
As a follow-up to this, I'd encourage you to keep the bracket notation in mind during future development. It is EXTREMELY useful in a lot of situations.
For example, if you're building a structure on the fly with dynamic keys, bracket notation is extremely helpful:
     <cfset authors = structnew()>
     <cfloop list="authorlist" index="name">
          <cfset authors[name] = getbooklist(name)>
     </cfloop>
Also, bracket notation is really nice when creating json from ColdFusion structures. Consider this:
     <cfset author = structnew()>
     <cfset author.name = "Neil Gaiman">
     <cfset author.genre = "Fantasy">
     <cfset author.awesome = true>
     <cfset authorjson = serializejson(author)>
By default, the serialized json produced will have all UPPER CASE keys. Not a big deal in most cases, but if you're returning the json to something (like a JS library) that is expecting keys in a certain case, it can be a problem. Fortunately, bracket notation allows you to specify exactly what case you want the structure's keys to be in:
     <cfset author = structnew()>
     <cfset author['name'] = "Neil Gaiman">
     <cfset author['Genre'] = "Fantasy">
     <cfset author['AWESOME'] = true>
     <cfset authorjson = serializejson(author)>

Copy all the objects from the one system that start with (ZANK)

hi to all,
I have installed the name space /ank/ in the US system, we need to copy all the objects from the India system that start with (Zank) and re-create them as /ank/. problem is how can i copy objects and re-create.
thanks

Hi Ankal,
I guess this is your second thread on the same question. Ok provide these information
>>I have installed the name space /ank/ in the US system,
Are you saying that you have a machine (US System) and i has a namespace /ank/ ? What all objects are there in this namespace?
>>we need to copy all the objects from the India system that start with (Zank) and re-create them as /ank/.
Is the India system on the same US system?
Also tell me whether you have opened the home page of SAP XI/PI? If yes , are you able to open Integration Repository? If yes then how these US and India systems are referred in Integration Repository? Are they referred as separate software components?
Regards
Suraj

Trying to install Elements 13 and it asks for a serial number. The instructions say the number should start with 1057 but there is no code on the disks, box or envelopes the disks came in that start with 1057. I cannot activate the software without this c

Trying to install Elements 13 and it asks for a serial number. The instructions say the number should start with 1057 but there is no code on the disks, box or envelopes the disks came in that start with 1057. I cannot activate the software without this code and it is a Christmas gift to my wife. HELP!

I had this problem. There are actually two boxes. The outside one with the photos and stuff and glued into it is another box containing the disks. That box has the serial number. Adobe was NO help with this as if no one else ever could not find it. I had to rip open the outer box.

There are several items I'd like to remove that are on the line at the top of my page that starts with "Most Visited," and I have been unable to find a way to remove them.

At the top of the page, between the address of the page I'm on and the tabs that are open is a line that starts with "Most Visited" and also includes Amazon, aBay, Yahoo, etc., all of which I want to keep. But there are also a number of other links that I don't want but can't find a way to delete. I've looked at suggestions til my eyes bugged out of my head, but nothing I've found allows me to get rid of them. Only one of them is something I saved, but it is no longer usable.

The mouse that came with my Mac does not have a right click feature. When I try to highlight and click, it just opens the link I don't want anymore. What I want to do is remove unwanted links from the top bar. For example, I no longer use GoodSearch or myEarthLink, but I can't delete them. There are also some links that never should have found their way up there, and I don't know how they ended up there, and I can't remove them either. I've read through a ton of questions and answers, and I can't find one that addresses the problem. With my Safari browser, all I have to do to remove an unwanted link is to click and drag it to the trash. It doesn't appear to work that way with Firefox, to my chagrin. I hope this better explains my question. Maybe that will give you a better insight into a solution.

That's not a good sign if it said it was going to send it to an email address you've never heard of. Contact iTunes Support and let them know this: http://apple.com/support/itunes/contact/
