Help With Adding Back Up of Songs & Lists on Re-Installed iTunes v 7.0.2

I have a portable hard drive with a back up of my 10,000 songs. I have to get my Gateway PC laptop serviced as it continues to crash, and so I will need to re-install iTunes v 7.0.2 and then add back my songs from the portable hard drive.
I need help with a couple of questions:
1) Is there a quicker way to add the songs back on to iTunes rather than adding individual files (for songs) and individual folders (for albums)?
2) I have several song lists (some used to make CD's). How can these lists be backed up as well so that I do not have to re-create these lists?
Any advice very much appreciated.

There is a good article on backup here:
http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=1522195&#1522195
If all your music is in the iTunes Music folder and you have room, just copy the iTunes folder to your external drive.
This will include both your music files and the iTunes library files.
If you music is stored in other places, you need to backup those too. When you restore you need to ensure the full path name is the same.
Life is also much easier if you can keep exactly the same account name if you reinsall windows as the account name is part of the path to My Documents.

  • Help with adding image onclick

    Hey everyone,
    I am making a simple game in AS3 and need help with adding an image once they have click on something.
    On the left of the screen are sentences and on the right an image of a form. When they click each sentence on the left, writing appears on the form. Its very simple. With this said, what I would like to do is once the user click one of the sentences on the left, I would like a checkmark image to appear over the sentence so they know they have already clicked on it.
    How would I go about adding this to my code?
    var fields:Array = new Array();
    one_btn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, onClick1a);
    one_btn.buttonMode = true;
    function onClick1a(event:MouseEvent):void
        fields.push(new one_form());
        fields[fields.length-1].x = 141;
        fields[fields.length-1].y = -85;
        this.addChild(fields[fields.length-1]);   
        one_btn.removeEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, onClick1a);
        one_btn.buttonMode = false;
        //gotoAndStop("one")
    two_btn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, onClick2a);
    two_btn.buttonMode = true;
    function onClick2a(event:MouseEvent):void
        fields.push(new two_form());
        fields[fields.length-1].x = 343.25;
        fields[fields.length-1].y = -85;
        this.addChild(fields[fields.length-1]);
        two_btn.removeEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, onClick2a);
        two_btn.buttonMode = false;
        //gotoAndStop("two")

    I don't know where you're positioning the button that should enable/disable the checkbox but for "one_btn" let's just say it's at position: x=100, y=200. Say you'd want the checkbox to be to the left of it, so the checkbox would be displayed at: x=50, y=200. Also say you have a checkbox graphic in your library, exported for actionscript with the name "CheckBoxGraphic".
    Using your code with some sprinkles:
    // I'd turn this into a sprite but we'll use the default, MovieClip
    var _checkBox:MovieClip = new CheckBoxGraphic();
    // add to display list but hide
    _checkBox.visible = false;
    // just for optimization
    _checkBox.mouseEnabled = false;
    _checkBox.cacheAsBitmap = true;
    // adding it early so make sure the forms loaded don't overlap the
    // checkbox or it will cover it, otherwise swapping of depths is needed
    addChild(_checkBox);
    // I'll use a flag (a reference for this) to know what button is currently pushed
    var _currentButton:Object;
    one_btn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, onClick1a);
    one_btn.buttonMode = true;
    function onClick1a(event:MouseEvent):void
         // Check if this button is currently the pressed button
         if (_currentButton == one_btn)
              // disable checkbox, remove form
              _checkBox.visible = false;
              // form should be last added to fields array, remove
              removeChild(fields[fields.length - 1]);
              fields.pop();
              // clear any reference to this button
              _currentButton = null;
         else
              // enable checkbox
              _checkBox.visible = true;
              _checkBox.x = 50;
              _checkBox.y = 200;
              // add form
              fields.push(new one_form());
              fields[fields.length-1].x = 141;
              fields[fields.length-1].y = -85;
              this.addChild(fields[fields.length-1]);
              // save this button as last clicked
              _currentButton = one_btn;
         // not sure what this is
        //gotoAndStop("one")
    I'd also centralize all the click handlers into a single handler and use the buttons name to branch on what to do, but that's a different discussion. Just see if this makes sense to you.
    The jist is a graphic of a checkbox that is a MovieClip symbol in your library exported to actionscript with the class name CheckBoxGraphic() is created and added to the display list.
    I made a variable that points itself to the last clicked button, when the "on" state is desired. If I detect the last clicked button was this button, I remove the form I added and the checkbox. If the last clicked button is not this button, I enable and position the checkbox as well as add the form.
    What is left to do is handle the sitation where multiple buttons are on the screen. When a new button is pushed it should remove anything the previous button added. This code simply demonstrates clicking the same button multiple times to toggle it "on and off".

  • Help with adding a hyperlink to a button?

  • Archive applet. Help with adding files to archive, then show.

    I need help with this applet: http://pastebin.com/589064
    The user is supposed to add, remove and open archives with text in it.
    My problem is now the highlited area in the code (the lines with the @@'s).
    This button should list all files i have added to the archive, however when i press the button, i only get a numberlisting. eg, if i have added 4 files to the archive I get: 0123
    However I want the Joptionpane to show a listing of the files in the archive.
    When I press "open" i can choose a file, press add, then open a new file, press add, and then when i click show archive, the filenames of the two files i added, should list through a Joptionpane..as you can see, i've tried, but i'm very unfamiliar with this.

    OK..i've done it
    check out http://pastebin.com/589268
    however, now i'd like to change the code, so that if i try to add to files with the same filename, the applet should show an error message..
    How do i do that, please? :-)

    These forums are pointless. Adobe must believe that other users will cut the mustard. Absolutely a waste of effort for everyone. Adobe should PAY at least a junior developer involved in the projects to monitor and help with these posts. FLEX rules yeah and thousands more do scripting than develop plug ins...
    Come on Adobe, step up your better than this. Customer Service can be free to the customers ... we are not talking about GET IT ALL FREE, talking about buy it and create a community and support it, but then again LAYERS and INDESIGN SECRETS have people who actually want to help users rather than rabbit hole everything.

  • Help with N8 Back Up and Restore

    Please if anybody can help me I'd be most grateful.
    How do I put back everything stored on my memory card back onto the phone? I had to do a #7370# this morning as it said my phone memory was low and to delete stuff. I couldn't find anything to delete so thought the *#7370# option would work. Wrong. I now have 84.7 mb free on my phone which is much more. I have 14.3 gb memory free out of 14.3 in my mass memory and 4.08 gb free out of7.42 gb on my memory card. How do i get my phone to show what is on the memory card? As it is I have no contacts or photos and all my music is on the memory card too. 
    I'm a wee bit useless with all things technical so any help would be much appreciated. 
    Oh I also back up my phone every day at 4.30am. I thought I would simply restore but the phone says there is no back up content.
    Thanks for reading

    I don't believe you can back up apps. If they were installed in your phone memory (C, then the reset wipes them and you need to reinstall them afresh. If they are from the Nokia store it's a pretty straightforward process.
    If the apps were installed in any of your mass memory destinations, then in general they should run OK even after a reset.

  • Help with reloading back up data

    I had to restore my bb pearl 8120 the other day.  Backed up all data and then had a few problems with it.  I have now managed to sort it all but cant reload all my backed up data, I have lost a lot of phone number that I really need.
    Any help with this would be fab.
    Thanks

    Hello,
    Please provide more details, such as:
    Specific BB Model (8120)
    Specific BB OS level (all 4 octets)
    Specific Desktop Software level (also 4 octets)
    Carrier
    Country
    The specific symptoms you witnesses -- "cant reload all my backed up data" doesn't tell us much. Specific details of exactly the steps you attempt and exactly the results you see would be helpful.

  • Viewing music titles / song lists from iPod on iTunes

    I have updated iTunes on my computer (Windows XP) several times over the last few years & now when I connect my iPod to the computer, I don't seem able to view my music titles / song lists. Anybody know why or how I can do this?
    Now when I click on the iPod icon... I get a 'Summary' page, a 'Music' page with an option to 'sync' etc... but cannot see my music content on the iPod...
    How (e.g.) can I delete or change content on my iPod??
    Any help/instructions/solution gratefully received!

    Have you clicked on the small disclosure triangle to the left of the iPod listing (under "devices" in iTunes)?

  • Need help in adding a folder library (on external hard drive) to ITunes.  Older versions had "add folder to library" option...

    I have an external hard drive that has a huge music library that I wish to make my Library in ITunes.  I have already set the location of the library to the hard drive folder (under Preferences/Advanced).  In the older versions of ITunes there was an "add folder to library" option.  After selecting that option, ITunes would then take a long time to analyze the songs in the new folder and I could then transfer songs to my IPad.  The new ITunes has an "Add File to Library".  I selected *.* to include all artists and songs in the library, but ITunes does not begin to analyze the songs and artists in the hard drive.
    How do you get Itunes to recognize the songs and artists in the new song directory?.  

    As long as you don't have an existing library that is synced with a device or holds oodles of carefully crafted playlists, ratings etc. then...
    Hold down shift as you start iTunes. You should get an option to choose or create a library. Click create, browse to root of the external drive and click save so that your library is say X:\iTunes where X: is the letter of your external drive. All new content downloaded to the library will stay on the external drive.

  • Can I get help with podcasts?  When I try to open the podcasts, itunes crashes, says "itunes has detected a problem and must close", or the spanish equivalent since my xp is in spanish.  everything else works fine, it even downloads podcasts and syncs.

    Can I get help with podcasts?  When I try to open the podcasts tab, itunes crashes, says "itunes has detected a problem and must close", or the spanish equivalent since my xp is in spanish.  everything else works fine, it even downloads podcasts and syncs.

    The only other thing I can suggest is to use the Repair option for iTunes.
    Download the iTunes programme (do not uninstall your current iTunes) and then "install" the new copy. At some stage you should see an option to "install" or "Repair". Take the Repair option.
    Once you've done that, if you still have a problem, I don't know what else to suggest, except to search through the discussions to see if anyone else has had the problem and managed to fix it.
