Got no hits
Selling one of my G5s. Want to make sure I do this correctly so that I don't lose settings, comments, bpms, play count etc.
I keep all my 60 gigs of music on a secondary internal (backed up to a couple of servers for protection) How do I import the files to iTunes without putting them in the media folder/User home folder. It was suggested that I use the option button at start up but I don't want to have navigate there each and every time I open iTunes.
Is there a way to make it the default location?
Secondly if I create a non administartor user for everyday usage how do I replicate iTunes which I have been using as administartor user previously?
Finally is it best to keep the XML file in the iTunes music folder (where the mp3s are stored) or on the user's home folder?
Thanks so much

I keep all my 60 gigs of music on a secondary internal (backed up to a couple of servers for protection) How do I import the files to iTunes without putting them in the media folder/User home folder. It was suggested that I use the option button at start up but I don't want to have navigate there each and every time I open iTunes. Is there a way to make it the default location?
If you have just the media files on the external drive and not the iTunes library files, just turn off the  "copy files to iTunes Music folder when adding to library" the iTunes -> Advanced preferences. You may also want to turn off the "Keep iTunes Music folder organized" option in the same preference. Then when you use the Add To Library command, iTunes will link to the tracks on your external drive rather than copying them to the internal. If you have the library files on the external as well, using the Option on launch to choose the external drive will remain the default as long as you don't launch iTunes when the external drive is not mounted.
Secondly if I create a non administartor user for everyday usage how do I replicate iTunes which I have been using as administartor user previously?
If your iTunes library files aren't on the external drive, copy the iTunes folder to the new account, either by using the Users/Shared folder or an external volume.
Finally is it best to keep the XML file in the iTunes music folder (where the mp3s are stored) or on the user's home folder?
The XML file must reside in the iTunes folder. That's the only place where iTunes will look for it to update it and where third-party applications will look to be able to access that file for library information.
Regards.

  • How to see my unanswered questions? Some forums missing?

    I miss the old format... Maybe I'm old and stubborn, but this new Apple forums format isn't growing on me - I'm finding it difficult to navigate. Is it possible to customize my view so that I see all of my unanswered questions, and perhaps some select forums?  If not, what's the easiest way to find my open questions - I can't seem to find the link. Also, are all of the forums here or have some been removed/consolidated? Either I'm not searching correctly or they're gone - it seems like some are missing; the old list was much clearer than this scroll-down thing.

    TAAAAAA DAAAAAAAAAAAAA!
    You GO, girl!

  • How to get a mod. removed question out of my "Unanswered Questions screen"

    Hello All,
    I don't know where to ask this. So, I'll try here.
    I have a question still listed in my "My Questions" screen.
    It was removed by the moderators some time back, but remains in my "My Questions" screen.
    It was removed pretty quickly by the moderators, so there was no time to mark it as answered.
    So, now it appears as though I have a permanently unanswered question. So, my log-in will always show 1 unanswered question.
    Right now, I see on the left-hand side, a message that says:
    "You have 1 unresolved question(s)."
    So, I am wanting to find out if there is any way for me to have this question removed from my account. This way I won't have any unanswered questions listed that are not actually active.
    If you are a moderator with access to this, I'll grant you permission right here to remove this from my "My Questions" page.
    The question in question is:
    Mac Mini 1.5 CoreSolo really a CoreDuo???? - No Intel 1.5 CoreSolo Made
    http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=392125&tstart=0
    Under the link, it says: "Administration » * Posts Removed by Hosts"
    If there is a way that I can remove it from my "My Questions" page, I'd appreciate hearing about it.
    Otherwise, could a Administrator or Moderator help me to do this.
    Now, understand that if contacted for log-in information, I'm going to need some proof of the person being a moderator. I'm not going to give my account info to just anymore
    Thank you in advance for any help you can offer.
    I'll look forward to hearing from you

    Hello All,
    I just came back in, and noticed that they have removed the question from my "My Questions" screen.
    So, looks like it is all fixed now
    Thank you Moderators / Administrators.
    It is much appreciated

  • Bad Stats on threads for unanswered questions

    There seems to be a bug in the thread view for unanswered questions that says
    This question is not answered. Helpful answers available: 5. Correct answers available: 1.
    for any unanswered questions. The 5 and 1 numbers are fixed text and never change, like they are placeholders for some calculation that was going to be implemented to count posts flagged as helpful / correct that was never implemented.
    Also, it would be nice when replying to a post if the new page displayed contained the original post being replied to at the top for reference and copy/paste whlie composing the replies. This is pretty standard functionality on public message boards.

    It's amazing how many newbies to the forum come on and complain about the way it works before even getting any proper knowledge of it. Did you really think that something as basic as those things would not have been considered before?

  • Cycle back to unanswered questions

    I am using Captivate 4. I have created a quiz consisting of a few random question slides that take questions out of the same pool of even more questions. I have allowed users to skip questions till the end of the quiz. When they reach the end, I would like the quiz to cycle back to the first unanswered question without the result slide appearing, of course. Then, again, at the end of the quiz, cycle back again until all question are answered, then we can see the results page. I tried using advanced actions and particularly the cpQuizInfoTotalUnansweredQuestions system variable which I added to a "On slide enter" function of a blank slide before the results page so it can check if all questions have been answered, then proceed to the next slide which is the results page, a thing that for some reason it doesn't do. On the other side, if not all questions have been answered how can I track the first unanswered question in the quiz so I can send the playback there? Someone should have come across this scenario, I hope.
    Also, I would like to ask of there is a way to customize the review questions proccess and instead of showing each question one at a time,  to list all questions at once with the correct answer and the answer the user chose.
    Thanks in advance.

    This is why I put the bank slides set at a half-second each between each question slide. You can set an advanced action upon entrance of these slides. So my advanced action looks at the variable for the next slide and checks to see if the value is > 0. If it is, it jumps to the following slide (which is another blank slide and that one executes another version of the same command. In terms of the Submit button, what I meant to say is that I set the same (separate) advanced action no matter if the user gets the question right or wrong. This one changes the value of the variable associated with the slide from 0 to 1 and then advances to the next slide.
    So in a 3-question quiz, it would look like this...
    Blank -> Slide 1 -> Blank -> Slide 2 ->
    Slide 2 as the second-to-last question would have it own advanced action upon exit that looks to see if either slide has a value  > 0. If both are > 0, it jumps to the final question. If either has a value of 0, it jumps to slide that tells the user he or she has unanswered questions and gives them the opportunity to go back.
    Once the user goes back, the blank slides SHOULD cycle past all completed slides (since they have a value > 0) and stop only on the uncompleted slides.
    I am still working out the final details. And once I get them working this way, I would like to see if I could do it with a more elegant plan, using fewer variables and actions. But the basics are working for me right now.

  • Branching quiz based on unanswered questions

    I'm using Captivate 5.5 to design an awareness module that contains 2 short knowledge checks at key points in the module (around 5-6 questions for each). The knowledge checks aren't compulsory and learners can move freely backwards and forwards through the module, and therefore can skip questions.
    We want to encourage them to answer all the questions (but not force them to if they don't want to). I've thought of branching the module at the end, with uncompleted questions branching to a reminder slide, and all questions completed going to a summary of the module.
    The way I've tried to do this is to use an Advanced Action with the CpQuizInfoTotalUnansweredQuestions variable to trigger the branching. This works okay if the learner doesn't move backwards. Once they go backwards past a question they haven't answered yet it will be counted as unanswered a second time. This means that there is no way they can ever get the variable to 0 and then move to the summary slide.
    Is there any way to use the CpQuizInfoTotalUnansweredQuestions variable to get it counting the unanswered questions correctly?
    The other way I had thought of doing it was to add another variable that changes when the branching/reminder slide is visited the first time, and having the Advanced Action check the variable to see if the slide has been visited before and if it has then it forces the slide to be skipped. This would assume that the learner went back and found and answered all the questions they missed or decided not to answer them all.
    Thanks in advance for any help or suggestions.

    My latest blog post has a work flow, not totally the same because it is meant for Review status, but can easily be translated to make your last scenario possible.

  • Unanswered question

    Hi,
    I am bit confused about what 'Unanswered question' means which is present at the bottom on every forum's main page. Now according to my understanding it means that it has not been answered. No replies at all.
    But why has the following thread been still marked as an unanswered question
    DB Performance problem
    Or maybe I need some more clarification.

    The icons to the left of :
    Answered question
    Unanswered question with answer points still available
    Unanswered question
    Are the keys to symbols used in the second column
    If this answers your question then awars points and mark your question as answered ;-)

  • Unanswered Questions a request and a suggestion

    I, like others, have an inaccessible unanswered question. It has been deleted but still shows up as unanswered and there is no way for me to mark it as answered. I would appreciate it if the mods would mark it answered.
    I would like to suggest that when a question is deleted it should always disappear from the asker's unanswered list.

    Hi Hardy,
    You should have no unresolved questions now.
    We try to mark it as answered when we lock or remove but some slip by. I have been going back to some older ones and marking them when I can.
    Regards,

  • Easier way to find unanswered questions?

    How about some features to make it easier to find unanswered questions in a forum?
    Like a button that says "show only unanswered questions"?
    Another option like "show unanswered questions with 0 replies"

    Some, but not enough.
    Sometimes a question is answered but the post-er never marks it as such. That's why I'd like a filter called "Open Questions with 0 replies"
    That's why I asked if it satisfied the first part of your request. I was aware it didn't satisfy the other details you mentioned.
    You aren't the first to ask for more sophisticated filters. I have as well. I think we'll probably eventually see some of these things. The Hosts are aware of all of these requests and continue to add them to the big list of features people would like to see. Of course, for some time now they have had to concentrate on forum stability before even beginning to add more features. But I they've said in the past that they have hopes to work on these details once everything else is under control.

  • How to identify unanswered questions?

    Hi all,
    I always try to mark a question that I pose as answered when it is. I was looking at my profile and noticed the following:
    Total Questions: xx (5 unresolved)
    Given that I thought I had marked all questions as answered, how can I find out which ones are unanswered so I can mark them answered?
    Also, it might be nice to have that be a link to a page that shows links to the unanswered questions.
    Thanks,
    JustMe

    If you click on the "Your Control Panel" link on top-tight, then click "Your Questions" on the top-right on the resulting page, you should see your questions divided into two sections - unresolved and resolved.

  • Unanswered Questions in Flash Builder Forum

    Hi Adobe - we have some unanswered questions lingering in the Flash Builder forum.
    I am looking for a download link for Flash Builder 4.7 - for the non-creative-cloud version.
    OR
    Will the creative cloud version work with my Flash Builder 4.7 Premium serial number and should I just install it through the creative cloud process?  I do not really want to go creative cloud at the moment - but I do not know if it is the same Flash Builder 4.7 file anyway and as soon as I put in my serial number it will take me off creative cloud.
    So... looking for a Flash Builder 4.7 download link for my non creative cloud serial number.
    Urgent too - thanks!

    oops, sorry.

  • Repost of unanswered questions

    Two questions that I'd really appreciate any input:
    1. Is there a way to print formatted reports. I know about the navigation bar item 'Print'. It takes the results of the query region and just makes one giant report without report headers, footers and breaks. I'd like to have a header, data to fill the page, and a header. I suspect that there isn't a function or template already out there, so if anyone has sample code that they'd like to share, it would be appreciated!
    2. Has anyone created a region where the query results are displayed in a stacked format? By that I mean something like this:
    Employee# start date
    Employee Name term date
    123 1/1/1995
    John Star 4/15/1997
    322 4/22/1996
    Bob Swatch 7/15/1996
    Suggestions or sample code appreciated!

    Hello,
    Browsers is very forgiving with bad html though they shouldn't be.
    <br> is a perfectly fine for HTML 4.0 based html
    is needed for valid XHTML.
    I just like to have people moving towards XHTML even if they don't know it :)
    Other tags that should look like this are
    <hr />
    <img src="sample.gif" alt="" />
    <b />
    <link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="some.css" />
    Here's a page with real good tips and a list of other ways to make you html more XHTML compliant.
    http://www22.brinkster.com/beeandnee/techzone/articles/htmltoxhtml.asp#javascript
    The generated html from HTML DB is being moved to being fully xhtml compliant probably by 2.1.
