After reinstalling Tiger OS, how to get my itunes library back in iTunes?

I did a reinstall of my OS but am not able to get my iTunes library back in iTunes. The library was on my external drive so it's still there. Everything is in there, including my apps. I did find a, iTunes library file, but it's not accessible by itunes, it's grayed out. I did a complete update of all my programs thourgh the software update. How do I get iTunes back to normal again?

Did you update the version of itunes back to what it was before you reinstalled the OS? The OS discs will have an older version.

How to get my ipod library backed up on my new computer

my computer crashed and i have lost my itunes library.... i still have my ipod though. how can i get my music transfered from my ipod onto my new computer?

Connect your iPod to your computer. If it is set to update automatically you'll get a message that it is linked to a different library and asking if you want to link to this one and replace all your songs etc, press "Cancel". Pressing "Erase and Sync" will irretrievably remove all the songs from your iPod. When your iPod appears in the iTunes source list change the update setting to manual, that will let you use our iPod without the risk of accidentally erasing it. Check the "manually manage music and videos" box in Summary then press the Apply button. Also when using most of the utilities listed below your iPod needs to be enabled for disc use, changing to manual update will do this by default: Managing content manually on iPod and iPhone
Once you are safely connected there are a few things you can do to restore your iTunes from the iPod. If you have any iTunes Music Store purchases the transfer of purchased content from the iPod to authorised computers was introduced with iTunes 7. You'll find details in this article: Copying iTunes Store purchases from your iPod or iPhone to a computer
The transfer of content from sources such as songs imported from CD is designed by default to be one way from iTunes to iPod. However there are a number of third party utilities that you can use to retrieve music files and playlists from your iPod. I use Senuti but have a look at the web pages and documentation for the others too, you'll find that they have varying degrees of functionality and some will transfer movies, videos, photos and games as well. This is just a small selection of what's available, you can read reviews and comparisons of some of them here:
Wired News - Rescue Your Stranded Tunes
Comparison of iPod managers
Senuti Mac Only
PodView Mac Only
PodWorks Mac Only
iPodDisk PPC Mac Only (experimental version available for Intel Macs)
TuneAid Mac only (iPhone and iPod Touch compatible)
iPodRip Mac & Windows
YamiPod Mac & Windows
Music Rescue Mac & Windows
iPod Music Liberator Mac & Windows
iGadget Mac & Windows (iPhone and iPod Touch compatible)
Floola Mac & Windows
iRepo Mac & Windows (iPhone and iPod Touch compatible)
iPod Access Mac & Windows (iPhone and iPod Touch compatible)
TouchCopy Mac & Windows (iPhone and iPod Touch compatible)
There's also a manual method of copying songs from your iPod to a Mac or PC. The procedure is a bit involved and won't recover playlists but if you're interested it's available on page 2 at this link: Copying Content from your iPod to your Computer - The Definitive Guide
Keep your iPod in manual mode until you have reloaded your iTunes and you are happy with your playlists etc then it will be safe to return it auto-sync. I would also advise that you get yourself an external hard drive and back your stuff up, relying on an iPod as your sole backup is not a good idea and external drives are comparatively inexpensive these days, you can get loads of storage for a reasonable outlay.

Networking disabled after reinstalling Tiger

I am experiencing network problems after reinstalling Tiger on my Macbook Core Duo:
-Airport worked fine after installation, but suddenly stopped
-Airport icon now says "Airport: Not Configured"
-Airport is greyed out in Network Port Configurations of Network Preferences, so it can't be turned on there
-System Profiler sees the Airport card but says it's currently turned off
To make matters worse, the ethernet port seems to be disabled as well. Although it is selectable in Network Port Configurations, nothing happens when I plug into my router.
Following the advice at http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=6507825, I repaired permissions, rebooted, reapplied the 10.4.11 Combo update, repaired permissions again, and rebooted. No effect.
Any ideas on what might be the issue? Thanks.

How to get password as string back from encrypted password byte array.

Hi All,
I am storing encrypted password and enc key in the database.(Code included encryptPassword method for encryption and validatePassword method for validating of password). Problem is that for some reason i need to show user's password to the user as a string as he/she entered. But i am not able to convert the encrypted password from D/B to original String.
Tell me if any body know how to get the string password back from the encrypted password byte array after seeing my existing encryption code.
//********* Code
private Vector encryptPassword(byte[] arrPwd)
try
// parameter arrPwd is the password as entered by the user and to be encrypted.
byte[] encPwd = null;
byte[] key = null;
/* Generate a key pair */
KeyPairGenerator keyGen = KeyPairGenerator.getInstance("DSA", "SUN");
SecureRandom random = SecureRandom.getInstance("SHA1PRNG", "SUN");
keyGen.initialize(1024, random);
KeyPair pair = keyGen.generateKeyPair();
PrivateKey priv = pair.getPrivate();
PublicKey pub = pair.getPublic();
/* Create a Signature object and initialize it with the private key */
Signature dsa = Signature.getInstance("SHA1withDSA", "SUN");
dsa.initSign(priv);
/* Update and sign the data */
dsa.update(arrPwd, 0, 12);
/* Now that all the data to be signed has been read in, generate a signature for it */
encPwd = dsa.sign();
/* Now realSig has the signed password*/
key = pub.getEncoded();
Vector vtrPwd = new Vector(2);
vtrPwd.add(encPwd);
vtrPwd.add(key);
return vtrPwd;
catch (Exception e)
private boolean validatePassword(byte[] arrPwd,byte[] encPwd,byte[] key) throws RemoteException
try
// arrPwd is the byte array of password entered by user.
// encPwd is the encrypted password retreived from D/B
// key is the array of key through which the password was encrypted and stored.
X509EncodedKeySpec KeySpec = new X509EncodedKeySpec(key);
KeyFactory keyFactory = KeyFactory.getInstance("DSA", "SUN");
PublicKey pubKey = keyFactory.generatePublic(KeySpec);
/* Encrypt the user-entered password using the key*/
Signature sig = Signature.getInstance("SHA1withDSA", "SUN");
sig.initVerify(pubKey);
/* Update and sign the password*/
sig.update(arrPwd, 0, 12);
return sig.verify(encPwd);

Help upto any extent would be appreciated.

Hi All,
I am storing encrypted password and enc key in the
database.(Code included encryptPassword method for
encryption and validatePassword method for validating
of password). Problem is that for some reason i need
to show user's password to the user as a string as
he/she entered. But i am not able to convert the
encrypted password from D/B to original String.No, you are not encrypting the password in your code, you are merely signing it.
Tell me if any body know how to get the string
password back from the encrypted password byte array
after seeing my existing encryption code.It is impossible to retrieve the original text out of a signature.
You should read up on some encryption basics in order to understand the difference between signing and encrypting. Then you can find examples of how to encrypt something here: http://java.sun.com/j2se/1.4/docs/guide/security/jce/JCERefGuide.html.
Actually there is one class specifically for keeping keys secure, KeyStore http://java.sun.com/j2se/1.4/docs/api/java/security/KeyStore.html

How to get the; popular tag: back in safari. Deleted it.

How to get the POPULAR tab back in safari after deleting it. Thanks for the help.

You have to pass a parameter. An id is good.
Of course you have to get an id from somewhere in the result set right?
<a target="_top" rel="contents" rev="contents" class="fordynamiclabel" href="ASCMasterTwo.jsp?id=<%= rSet.getString("id") %>"><%=rSet.getString(1) %></a></td>Then you call
request.getParameter("id");
and look up the values related to that id in the database.

I imported different trips to different catalogs on different external hard drives. Later renamed external HDs. I want to combine catalogs and have my source (NEF) files all together on one drive. I’m not really sure how to get those source files back and get rid of the extra long path to where the source files are now located. If I re-link files to their current catalog (many different paths to files in same catalog) can I merge (import catalogs) into one master catalog? Will the new (Master catalog) have the correct link to the source file? If not, how or can this be done?
I have tried to explain my situation as clearly as I can. Do you understand my situation?
This maybe something you don’t have time to help me with. If not can you suggest somewhere I can get an answer? I really need help. PLEEEZZZ HELP ME.

I really think 'buying' is the best solution on this one. Ideally, you would have at least five internal hard drives.

Not true at all.
You only buy the right to your own personal use.
You do NOT have the right to distribute to others.
This is illegal. There is no doubt about it

I have a new computer, downloaded itunes, how do I get my old library back?

I have a new computer, downloaded itunes. How do I get my old library back so I can sync w/ipod nano?

Do you still have the old PC around? If so, you might be able to still copy the iTunes library from that PC over to the one.
Or is the music still on your Nano? If so, see this older post from another forum member Zevoneer covering the different methods and software available to assist you with the task of copying content from your iPod back to your new PC and into iTunes.
https://discussions.apple.com/thread/2452022?start=0&tstart=0
Otherwise, you can redownload most iTunes purchases again at no cost using iCloud. If the music and content was imported from outside of iTunes you'll need to either re-rip the tracks into iTunes or redownload them using whatever utility or store you originally purchased them from.

I am from india ....
the itune setting doesnot give me none option in my phone ....
And i dont know the itunes gift code ...
So pls give me the detail how to get the itunes code and what is it ?

It would have been better if you had added a reply on your original post instead of starting a new thread : https://discussions.apple.com/thread/5514146?tstart=0
iTunes gift cards are an alternative way of paying for content from the store, but they aren't available in all countries (and the cards are country-specific, they can only be used in their country of issue). The gift card field on the account set up page is optional, and as gift cards aren't available in India you won't be able to fill it in anyway.
There are instructions on this page for how to create a new account without giving credit card details and will give you the 'none' option : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2534 - the instructions won't work with existing accounts, and if you didn't use those instructions when creating your existing account then you will need to enter credit card details before you will be able to use it to download content

How to get photos from iPhoto back onto a SD card. I have a MacBook Pro with built in SD card slot. I have tried "Export" but this does not work.

It's best to export the photos to a folder and then drag the folder onto the memory card. Memory cards are usually formatted for PCs, FAT 32, which doesn't permit more than a limited number of files in the root directory. Putting the photos in a folder gets around that limitation.
