If I edit an audio file that is already on my ipod in the itune library will it change the file on the ipod or will the file on the ipod overwrite the file in itunes?

I have some audio files that could be edited to remove portions I don't need. They were lectures that has some portions which I like to remove. If I edit the file in the itunes library will it be able to sense that with even the same name the file has changed and update my ipod, ipad an so forth? Or will the files on the devices be moved back and overwrite the newer version? Or perhaps will I need to do all of this by hand? Thanks

- Only iTunes purchases will copy from iPod to computer.
- If you sync manually and do not specify those modified songs to sync they will not sync to the iPod nor will the original version be deleted from the iPod
- If you sync automatically and include those songs or select the modified songs to sync manually, the songs in the iPod should be replaced with the modified songs. However sometimes that does not happen

I have a new hard drive as my old one crashed. Everything seemed to transfer fine except for my entire iTunes library. It shows all of my old songs, but when I click on one it states "the song could not be used as the original file could not be found

I have a new hard drive as my old one crashed. Everything seemed to transfer fine except for my entire iTunes library. It shows all of my old songs, but when I click on one it states "the song could not be used as the original file could not be found.would you like to locate it".
Either how do I locate it, and I've tried every trick I know, or how do I restore all of my songs from one of two sources. I have my old hard drive backedup on an external drive which should have all of my songs, and I have most of my songs on my old iPhone 3S which I'm using as a backup iPod.

The "missing file" error happens if the file is no longer where iTunes expects to find it. Possible causes are that you or some third party tool has moved, renamed or deleted the file, one of its parent folders, or the drive it lives on has had a change of drive letter. It is also possible that iTunes has changed from expecting the files to be in the pre-iTunes 9 layout to post-iTunes 9 layout, or vice-versa, and so is looking in slightly the wrong place. In the case of a library moved from one system to another there are also potential permissions issues. See Repair security permissions for iTunes for Windows.
Select a track with an exclamation mark, use Ctrl-I to Get Info, then click No when asked to try to locate the track. (Due to a bug in iTunes 12 you currently have to say No twice!) Look on the summary tab for the location that iTunes thinks the file should be. Now take a look around your hard drive(s). Hopefully you can locate the track in question. If a section of your library has simply been moved, a folder renamed, or a drive letter has changed, it should be possible to reverse the actions. If the difference between the two paths is an additional Music folder in one path then this is a layout issue. I can explain further if that is the case.
In some cases iTunes may be able to repair itself if you go through the same steps with Get Info but this time click Locate and browse to the lost track. It may then offer to attempt to automatically fix other broken links.
If another application like Windows Media Player has moved/renamed the files then the chances are that subtle differences in naming strategies will make it hard to restore the media to the precise path that iTunes is expecting. In such cases, as long as the missing files can be found somewhere, you should be able to use my FindTracks script to reconnect them to iTunes. See this post for an explanation of how it works.

I use lightroom with the soft proofing feature for my printing. I used to make a copy proof, but all of the sudden something changed, and even if I'm on the copy in the developing mode it prints the original. Also, If i chose a file that was already in light room to print, even though I have the chosen file up in the developing mode, it will instead print the most recent file that I added to lightroom. If found a way to work around these problems, (check make this the copy in the soft proofing, and copy my settings and delete and reload the old files) but it's a slight hassle and it didn't use to do this. Not sure why it changed. Could I have accidentally changed a setting?

See

- I would start with
Removing and Reinstalling iTunes, QuickTime, and other software components for Windows XP
or
Removing and reinstalling iTunes and other software components for Windows Vista, Windows 7, or Windows 8
However, after your remove the Apple software components also remove the iCloud Control Panel via Windows Programs and Features app in the Window Control Panel. Then reinstall all the Apple software components

I haven't researched it and I don't claim to know everything about iTunes, but it has always been my understanding that you can only use one computer per iPod, but you can have multiple iPods per computer. From what I understand, this is to prevent illegal sharing and whatnot.

.The files are not backed up alphabetically. We would like to know what are the db files that are already backed up? Is there a command i could run from another RMAN to get the already backed up files.

I think you can query your catalog for this information.
Or use
LIST BACKUP; (in RMAN)
Or
alter session set nls_date_format='dd/mm/yy hh24:mi:ss';
select SID, START_TIME,TOTALWORK, sofar, (sofar/totalwork) * 100 done,
sysdate + TIME_REMAINING/3600/24 end_at
from v$session_longops
where totalwork > sofar
AND opname NOT LIKE '%aggregate%'
AND opname like 'RMAN%';
Or
-- Datafiles Backed up during past 24 Hours
SELECT dbfiles||' from '||numfiles "Datafiles backed up",
cfiles "Control Files backed up", spfiles "SPFiles backed up"
FROM (select count(*) numfiles from sys.v_$datafile),
(select count(*) dbfiles

where a.file# = b.file#
and a.completion_time > sysdate - 1),
(select count(*) cfiles from sys.v_$backup_datafile

Does iWeb need to upload a file that is already on my iDisk?

I already have a very large movie file on my iDisk that I had uploaded for a purpose other than including on an iWeb site. I'm wondering if I can now include this movie on a web page created with iWeb without having to upload the large file a second time. Can iWeb "point" to a file already on my iDisk. This is how the old HomePage system worked previously, and it made sense to me. I am happy to let iWeb upload my files usually, but in the case of this particular movie I have already uploaded it. Seems silly if I have to upload it again with iWeb, in which case I would want to remove the copy of the file that is already on my iDisk.
Anyone familiar with this scenario?

There isn't any way to do this directly in iWeb... If you dragged the same movie onto several different pages, I'm pretty certain that iWeb would upload separate copies to be included with each page's files. Obviously this is never optimum.
A couple of different options for you...
1. Just provide a hyperlink to the original PAGE where the QT movie is displayed. This is probably very obvious and will not work in your grand plan.
2. Provide an external hyperlink to the original QT movie file. When clicked on, a new blank page would open and the QT movie would play in that browser window. This generally works and is very easy to do, although I know that QuickTime Kirk would have a cow (haha...just kidding...wink...wink...) to hear me recommend it.
3. Make a dummy QT movie of the same dimensions as your intended QT movie. Maybe use a single black frame or something. Plunk it down on your iWeb page. Then publish. After publishing find the page.js file in the "page_files" folder and replace the references to the dummy QT movie file with the location of your original QT movie. Complex....but I think this should work. Another downside...you'll have to edit the .js file again in the future if you change the page significantly because your edited references will be overwritten.
Let me know what you think. I'm sure others will chime in as well.

Recommendations for dampening reverb on a file that's already been printed

I know it's a strange situation but does anyone have any recommendations for how to tone down some really bright reverb on a vocal file that's already been recorded with the reverb?
I've tried eq and the de-esser, a little luck with the EQ and none with the de-esser. Just wondering if anybody has any suggestions for tools within Audition 3.0.1 that might help to slightly dampen the brightness and sibilance from too much reverb, thanks a bunch!

Thank for your helpful information, I feared this was the case. Although I do have to say I did manage to dampen it somewhat by simply eqing out some of the higher frequencies. Far from perfect but it helped a little bit.

I am trying to move my itunes library from my old pc to my new imac, home sharing is on and I can see the shared library. My problem is that when I check the shared library to import it to my imac I cannot import it. Can anyone help me?

You need to transfer the iTunes Library from the most recent backup you made before the hard drive was replaced.
You can't transfer the full iTunes Library from the iPad back to iTunes.
There are third-party Windows applications that will transfer data from an iOS device, but they don't re-create the iTunes Library exactly as it was before.

How can I increase the speed of importing audio cds into my iTunes library? On my old Dell PC cds imported at 30-35x, but my new iMac (using the Apple Superdrive) is trudging along at 8-10x. Any suggestions?

Hi,
Not sure you can do anything about this. I get vaiable import speeds - a lot depends on the actual disc. The Read Write spec is 24X but I rarely see speeds close to this.

HT201272 Having a bad day my iTunes library got corrupted and my back up disk has failed how can I restore my purchases from the iTunes store

Having a bad day my iTunes library got corrupted and my back up disk has failed how can I restore my purchases from the iTunes store? When I try it tells me the pruchases have already been downloaded to this computer.

Does your purchased rmusic appears under the Purchased link under Quicklinks on the right-hand side of the iTunes store home page (music can't be re-downloaded in all countries) ? If they do and you don't have the cloud symbol against them so as to re-download them, then do you still have the entries for them in your library i.e. where you would normally click on them to play them ? If you do then try deleting them from there (iTunes will be seeing them and assuming that you still have them somewhere) and they should then get the cloud symbol for re-downloading in the Purchased link.
If you aren't in a country where music can be re-downloaded then you could try contacting iTunes support and see if they will grant you a re-download : http://www.apple.com/support/itunes/contact/ - click on Contact iTunes Store Support on the right-hand side of the page,

TS1503 After an update on my iPhone 4, (I updated using my MacBook Pro) I first received the message, iTunes was not able to load all of iTunes library back on your phone, not enough free space on your phone. (not an exact quote, essentially the same mean

The complete iTunes library was already on my iPhone 4. Why would it all not go back on? It left out around 4 or 5 songs from my play list. How do I get them back on my iPhone?
Note: All software on both devices is up to date.
Then, I tried to sync my iPhone to my MacBook Pro. I got the message, cannot sync your iPhone because there is not enough free space in the iTunes library (not exact quote, but same meaning).
I researched how to get more free space on my phone which might 'supposedly' alleviate the above issues. I removed some less used apps, and some photos and videos from my phone. Then, I tried backing up again. I still got the message there wasn't enough free space on my phone, and the missing songs from the iTunes library were not returned to my phone. I gave another try at syncing my iPhone. I still got the same message that the phone couldn't be synced because there wasn't enough free space in the iTunes library.
Any suggestions on how to remedy these problems will be appreciated!
BTW... I read a suggestion on the internet to restore my phone (I did this recently when something went wrong during a phone update and the whole process went 'hey-wire', shutting down before the update was complete. However, at that time, all of my songs and apps were still on my phone and stored in the iTunes library.) If I restore my iPhone now, will the apps and songs no longer on my phone be lost?
Sorry there are so many questions within the same 'New Discussion' thread I'm starting! But, I think all of these issues are somehow related.
Thanks!

I Have fumbled all day to this resolved, I'll run the battery down and see what happens afterwards. This is not good !

There is no need to import anything or use Home Sharing.
Copy the ENTIRE iTunes folder from the old computer to the new computer, everything will be exactly as it was.

Copy everything from your old computer, or your backup copy of your old computer, to your new one.

How do you add the name of a song to a downloaded track not reccognized in the iTunes library. I copy songs from my own CDs and want to properly identify them instead of the current "Track 02". Thanks

Right-click the track in your library, Get Info, go to the Info tab, and type in the correct information. When you are done, click "OK."

If I edit an audio file that is already on my ipod in the itune library will it change the file on the ipod or will the file on the ipod overwrite the file in itunes?
