How to stop iTunes creating a new library on my hard drive when it can't find the one I have created and told it to use on an external drive?

I have quite alot of music etc so to save hard drive space I have created my iTunes library on an external hard drive. If I ever accidentaly open iTunes when that external hard drive isn't attached iTunes makes a whole new library from scratch on my computers hard drive. I find this highly frustrating as I often open Itunes to find no music as it have changed librarys and I have to re-load my actual library: very frustraiting and time consuming.
I would like to know if it is possible to lock iTunes some how to stop it from changing folders when it can'f find the library, or atleast give me a warning that it can't find the library before creating a whole new one????

Tunes works through a database file which has a list of your tracks. When you click on a track it looks up in the database which file it needs to play, then plays the file. If something breaks this link then you get ! The two main ways to get ! are to move a file from where iTunes expects it to be, or to delete it altogether. I don't know which has happened in your case. You can try using Spotlight to find a file for the one referred to in a broken link. If the files have been moved then they need to be moved back. If they were deleted completely you will have to restore them from a backup or download them again from the iTunes Store and rebuild your library.

I like the persona I have now, but would like to try new ones too. Can I save the one I have now and go back to it someday?

I don't know if I would be able to find it again if I changed it. Please advise?

Yes, you can install several Personas. The first one will not be lost until you remove it yourself.
You can remove and switch themes and Personas in Tools>Addons>Themes.

Why does my ITunes now get stuck when it can't find the album art?

I've noticed since yesterday when I bought my new IPod Touch my ITunes on my computer gets stuck when it can't find the album art for some music I have. It gets to that album and won't do anything, won't let me skip it or anything ... Anyone else having similar issues and if so any workaround?

Hi joanhello,
I understand that you are seeing an issue with iTunes fetching information about CDs you are importing. Here is an article for you that explains how to troubleshoot this issue:

New Pages is double spacing after enter again- can't find the area in inspector that allows you to change paragraph format...help?

New Pages is double spacing after enter again- can't find the area in inspector that allows you to change paragraph format...help?

The "new" Pages is missing just about everything.
Your best best is to go back to the old Pages (mavericks puts in in your applications folder in IWorks.
Apple told me that based on input from users they will add back some missing features back but I suspect that will take a long time if ever.
They (Apple) say they created a new Pages to make it work seamlessly on various devices.
But in doing so they've dumbed down the programs to where they're nearly useless.
Any new users who don't know what "old" Pages could do will probably be satisfied.
But those of us who use this program to do real publishing should send feed back to Apple.
Apple has decided that we are "heavy" users and not representative of the majority of their customers.
That's why I suspect that putting back the features in Pages will not be top priority.
But just in case they really do read the feedback send them your opinions and feature requirements and just maybe if enough people squawk they'll at least put the old Pages back in the App Store (it's gone now).
One possibility crossed my mind. If the new OS Yosemite can mirror devices, perhaps we'll be able to mirror the old pages on to our IOS devices than you could have the full capability of Pages and the connivence of an IPad or IPhone.
Wouldn't that be awesome?
At least in the presentation, it looked like it could work, we'll see.

I can't uninstall iTunes on my computer...it keeps telling me it can't find the installer package. Any suggestions?

I can't uninstall iTunes on my computer...it keeps telling me it can't find the installer package. Any suggestions? I have tried to delete all the iTunes components already, it didn't work.

(1) Download the Windows Installer CleanUp utility installer file (msicuu2.exe) from the following Major Geeks page (use one of the links under the "DOWNLOAD LOCATIONS" thingy on the Major Geeks page):
http://majorgeeks.com/download.php?det=4459
(2) Doubleclick the msicuu2.exe file and follow the prompts to install the Windows Installer CleanUp utility. (If you're on a Windows Vista or Windows 7 system and you get a Code 800A0046 error message when doubleclicking the msicuu2.exe file, try instead right-clicking on the msicuu2.exe file and selecting "Run as administrator".)
(3) In your Start menu click All Programs and then click Windows Install Clean Up. The Windows Installer CleanUp utility window appears, listing software that is currently installed on your computer.
(4) In the list of programs that appears in CleanUp, select any iTunes entries and click "Remove", as per the following screenshot:
(5) Quit out of CleanUp, restart the PC and try another iTunes install. Does it go through properly this time?

HT4527 I tried home sharing between my desk top and my lap top. My desk top is the original computer with my iTunes library. On my lap top I can only see the music I have bought from iTunes. Is this all I should see? Not my entire library?

I have tried to install home sharing between my desk top and lap top. I can only see the music I have bought from iTunes on my lap top. Is this normal? I thought I would be able to see my entire library.

Yes I tried that. I finally turned off all home sharing settings, shut down my desktop and found them in my account settings in the store on the cloud. So at that point I just had it download everything. But I suspect that with the ipad somehow being on, the store was saying I had already received them? Regardless, my trip today whilst running errands, I was rocking out to vintage Police music! Thank you so much for responding.

How can I build this cluster? I don't like the one I have created (too big)

Hi everybody, I'm working with a Vision VI and the trouble is that I need to create a cluster to connect it to a terminal called Settings of the Vision VI (IMAQ Count objects). These settings includes booleans, long and unsigned word type values. I've seen this one in a pdf document:
I like how it looks because it's in a reduced space.
This is the one I've created:
(Please ignore the red numbers 1 and 2)
And the block diagram looks like this:
If someone knows how make a VI as the first image, please post it.
Thank you so much for your answers and comments.
P.S. I use LabView 2009, maybe some features are not availables in newers versions.
Impossible is nothing
Solved!
Go to Solution.

You did not create a cluster, just some individual controls that you are bundling in the code. that's not the same!
I would recommend a combination approach from what we heard so far.
First, create a control on the subVI input. Now we know it has the correct type.
Right-click each control you don't like and replace it with one from a different palette (modern, classic, system), making sure you keep the same datatype. Keep the wire connected to the subVI. If the wire breaks, you picked a wrong datatype. simply undo and try again. (This way, the cluster order should not change).
Now rearrange the controls the way you want.
Here's are two quick examples I just made from scratch.
LabVIEW Champion . Do more with less code and in less time .

HT201320 i have set up my email on have (7) messages on the mail icon but when i press it the home screen comes up to set up a new email. Where can i find the emails that have been downloaded...again, it shows that i have 7 new emails??

I have set up my email on the iphone. On the mail icon it shows that i have 7 new emails. When i press the icon the set up home screen comes up....gmail, yahoo, aol, etc. where can i find the new emails that have been downloaded??

Google stopped supporting Exchange for free accounts as of 1/31/13. If you already had it set up that way on the device, it will continue to work. However, if you didn't, you'll need to set it up as a regular Gmail account.

My home page is google and it works but when I open a new tab it displays an error message :Firefox can't find the file at chrome://quick_start/content/index.ht

I've made sure a dozen times that my home page is set correctly, and when I hit the home button next to the search bar it works and takes me right to google BUT whenever i open a new tab i get the error that my page cannot load and the web url that it keeps trying to remember is in the error message:
Firefox can't find the file at chrome://quick_start/content/index.html.
of course the last dot is not the url anymore but the end of the sentence for the error message, but i don't ever use chrome ever on my laptop only my cell so what is going on????? help fix god please!!!!!!

Do you have the FastStart extension?
Start Firefox in <u>[[Safe Mode|Safe Mode]]</u> to check if one of the extensions (Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Extensions) or if hardware acceleration is causing the problem.
*Switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Appearance
*Do NOT click the Reset button on the Safe Mode start window

My mailboxes have disappeared when I installed Yosemite, but if I try to create a new mailbox by that name, it says I can not because the mailbox already exists How do I get them to show up?

I upgraded mu iMac to Yosemite now my mailboxes don't show up in my mail. If I try to create a new mailbox with the same name, it tells me that that mailbox already exists. How do I get my mailboxes to appear?

The mailbox list is divided into categories with headings in caps, such as ON MY MAC. When you hover the cursor over one of those headings (except for MAILBOXES), you should see the word Show or Hide on the right. Click Show. The MAILBOXES category can't be hidden.
In each category, the mailboxes are arranged in groups, such as Inbox. To the left of each group is a small disclosure triangle. If the triangle points to the right, click it so that it points down.

How do you delete audiobooks downloaded from Overdrive from the library from my Ipod Nano when I can't find any of the titles under Music in iTunes?

I've been uploading audiobooks from Overdrive and now that I'm done listening to them I want to delete them. After I hook my Ipod 7th gen up to the comp, it pulls up iTunes and I go to Music but I can't find any of the book titles there. They all show up in my songs group on my iPod. I've been manually managing the songs so I don't get all my husbands stuff on there. I've cruised through the other sections and tried searching the library without any luck. Any advice???

Follow the instructions here:

New Bootmgr for my Thinkpad needed [Old: RnR - Can't find the delete command for older Rescue's]

EDIT: Read my Reply to see my new much greater problem...
Hey,
I recently Updated my Thinkvantage software after a few month and now have gotten the toolbox. There came the Problem up, that i Used RnR the last time like 1 Year ago, which couldn't be.
I messed around a bit (i only had 50 GB free space and my old recovery file was another 23GB) and startet the rescue giving the new rescue file a maximum of 60 BG, so i have 10 GB free.
It said, that this might not be enough but i could just give it a try, now i sit at 0GB free, my PC is slow as Hell and so on, i canceled the rescue and deleted some of my files.
Now I'd like to know how i can delete the Rescue files (the dropdown menu with delete rescue file is gone through the update, so i cannot follow the instruction of the help page), so i have more free space available.
Also i'd like to know if i then should try another rescue, hoping it fits on the then 70 GB free space (i stopped the rescue this time at about 50%)
or should i just try my best and get my data on some other volume wich unfortunatelly i don't have with me, as im in another country...
hope you got all Informations to help me and thanks for your Support
John
PS: if it's of importance it's a t500 with 2055A81 with 250 GB storage

answering to myself with a now much bigger problem:
1. what happend?
I just wanted to set back the computer thinking it might run faster again...
So i started the Thinkpad Recovery(RnR), it rebooted into the thinkvantage RnR Boot mode where it began to recover but stopped after 1 Minute at 0% recovery and didn't get any further in the next 4 Hours (with CPU and HDD idling all the time), as there was no option to stop it and no settings or something i thought it wouldn't do anything at all anymore and switched it off by force...
... restart: Bootmgr is missing press Ctrl + Alt + Del to reboot
2. first analysis:
i can get into Bios, i can boot from the CD, i cannot enter the Thinkpad OS (via pressing the Thinkvantage Button on startup) and i can't run Windows
3. Googlin' around
i found this Artikle from http://www.howtogeek.com/howto/windows-vista/fixing-bootmgr-is-missing-error-while-trying-to-boot-wi..., followed the instruction downloaded the recovery CD, was able to boot from it and tryed to follow the Guide, but on the 4th Picture it didn't show my installed Windows looked around further and further and found:
http://neosmart.net/wiki/display/EBCD/Recovering+the+Vista+Bootloader+from+the+DVD
trying it out I had success with the Nuclear Holocaust way, so I now atleast can find my Windows in the recovery tool, but still the System-startup-repair was detecting my error but unable to fix it (Error: Botmanager doesn't exist or is damaged; Tried to fix the file with Filerepair; Conclusion Error. Errorcode = 0x2)
I even found http://forum.notebookreview.com/showthread.php?t=212433, where there is a link to the Lenovo/Thinkpad tool with wich I possibly can retrieve something, but my laptop just doesn't have any Floppy drive (i also tried the file uploaded to rapidshare in this thread, which was the diskette but bootable via CD-Rom (didn't work as it seems to be set to drive A: and so i can't repair anything with it))
4. Conclusion
- maybe I'm pulling at the wrong end of the rope (http://neosmart.net/blog/2007/bootsectexe-modifies-the-bootsector-not-the-mbr/)
- ( http://forums.cnet.com/5208-7587_102-0.html?threadID=311230 ) maybe this guy is right and RnR from the thinkpad just wipes your boot files so there is too much damage to fix it
Should I try to
a) secure as many Files as possible? (booting with Knoppix(Live Linux Filesystem on Bootable CD) did not work at all, but maybe i had an too old version)
b) try to somehow get the RnR from the thinkpad to run again, so it might completely reset the PC to it's former state (No Idea how to do it)
c) I read somewhere you can launch your installed Vista in safety-mode with a propper CD/DVD, even without the Bootmgr, has anyone Experience with that?
TIA for any help you can offer me, i don't have the time to send in my laptop, would be great if someone from your developers could write me a little batch file, that i could run via the CMD (i can easily access my USB stick via the CMD provided by the Windows Vista recovery Disk) and which would well give me back the boot entrys that RnR deletes at the beginning or just creates a new one. Something that could remotely start the RnR to just bring back the old state could also work wonders, i used the Option, where you don't have to reinstall all programs, so maybe the RnR which also resets my installed programs would work well and fix the problem...
I realy hope you guys can help me out as I'm in dire need
Yours sincerely
John

How do I reformat hard drive when I can't erase the disk?

Machine: imac, OS 10.6.8
Initial Problem: Finder kept crashing for all users immediately after start up. As a result I was unable to try trashing finder preferences as recommended in this forum and elsewhere.
Attempted solutions:
1. Initially seemed unable to boot from Snow Leopard Installation Disk
2. Connected to another imac using firewire and booting problem computer into target mode
3. Ran Techtool pro from master machine. Hard drive and hardware fine but reported need to format disk on target machine.
4. Tried to install new os onto target drive using disk drive on master machine. Error message reported being unable to find target drive, even though it was showing on desktop of master machine
5. Tried to erase disk using disk utility on master machine, but error message stating unable to unmount target drive
6. Successfully rebooted using snow leopard installation disk, but unable to instal. Error message stated that the computer was not available. i.e. it had the yellow triangle with exclamation masrk
7. Tried to erase hard drive using disk utility from installation disk, but was unable to do so. The process commenced to unmount the disk, started to erase but stopped before task completed. Tried a second time with same result.
Obviously the machine needs complete reformatting. I made a backup before starting this series of unsuccessful attempts. I suspect that I need to use terminal from the installation disk, but I am not sure which terminal command to use.
Can anyone tell me? Or have I overlooked some simpler solution?

Install or Reinstall Lion/Mountain Lion from Scratch
Be sure you backup your files to an external drive or second internal drive because the following procedure will remove everything from the hard drive.
Boot to the Recovery HD:
Restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the COMMAND and R keys until the menu screen appears. Alternatively, restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the OPTION key until the boot manager screen appears. Select the Recovery HD and click on the downward pointing arrow button.
Erase the hard drive:
1. Select Disk Utility from the main menu and click on the Continue button.
2. After DU loads select your startup volume (usually Macintosh HD) from the
      left side list. Click on the Erase tab in the DU main window.
3. Set the format type to Mac OS Extended (Journaled.) Optionally, click on
        the Security button and set the Zero Data option to one-pass. Click on
      the Erase button and wait until the process has completed.
4. Quit DU and return to the main menu.
Reinstall Lion/Mountain Lion: Select Reinstall Lion/Mountain Lion and click on the Install button.
Note: You will need an active Internet connection. I suggest using Ethernet if possible
            because it is three times faster than wireless.

How can i find the tablename for that field and suggest the report logic

Hi experts
The concept of BOM for finished components are defined in terms of semi finished goods. Hence, routing of a component from raw materials can not be seen directly in system through standard report.
But users need to have the details of a routing of a component from raw material in one report. To provide the details in single report, development is required.
With this report users can see the routing from raw material till component in one single report.
Assumption
BOM is maintained for a component with all related semi finished components till raw material properly.
Material Number: MARA MATNR   - Multiple selection option should be there (Mandatory)
Plant: AFRU WERKS      - Single selection parameter (Mandatory)
If procurement type is E or X, system has to check the routing through CA03.
If procurement type if F, leave this field as blank
1.operator
2.material
3.material description
4.workcenter
5.vendor
6.operation description
7.uom
8.qty
9.uom
10.setuptime
11.processingtime
12.deliverytime
using cs12,cs13
here i have seen the details of finished goods components like semifinished goods,rawmaterils,i tried se11 to find the the table for relevent field,
i cant get, if possible to suggest me the logic and how to find the relevent table for
that field
Regards
ds

for exploding the bom if you know header material use
CALL FUNCTION 'CS_BOM_EXPL_MAT_V2'
    EXPORTING
      CAPID                 = 'PP01'
      DATUV                 = SY-DATUM
      MEHRS                 = 'X'
      MTNRV                 = P_MATNR
      WERKS                 = P_WERKS
    TABLES
      STB                   = I_BOM
    EXCEPTIONS
      ALT_NOT_FOUND         = 1
      CALL_INVALID          = 2
      MATERIAL_NOT_FOUND    = 3
      MISSING_AUTHORIZATION = 4
      NO_BOM_FOUND          = 5
      NO_PLANT_DATA         = 6
      NO_SUITABLE_BOM_FOUND = 7
      CONVERSION_ERROR      = 8
      OTHERS                = 9.
now check PLPO & PLKO table for routing or AFVC and AFVV for routing.
if production order created you have to check in afvc and afvv else check in plpo and plko.
for checking with plpo and plko you have to check MAPL table.
for bom and material link
MAST,STPO,STKO.
stlnr is the common field
