Syncing ipod already containing files from another library:

If I were to get a used ipod already containing music and videos, then went to sync the same ipod with files from MY iTunes library, how could I do this without erasing the files already on the ipod (I've seen before in this situation, iTunes gives a message that this ipod contains files from another library, they will be erased, etc. etc.)? Is there some way to first "sync" from the ipod over to iTunes?
Thanks!!

No, there is not a simple way to do that. You could get a music retrieving program, but that would probably cost money. Any category you select to sync with your library (music, video, games, etc), it will erase everything. (I went through it twice.) It's a different story if your iPod is formatted with a different OS, like Mac to Windows and vice versa. You would have to erase and reformat everything on that iPod.
Example: my sister got a new used iPod once, and we chose to sync music, pictures, and video, but keep the games already on there since we had not bought any.
Hope this helps!

Adding files from another library

I am trying to add songs to my ipod that I got on my library on my home computer. The songs that I am trying to add are from another computer that has the same version of itunes and is a HP with windows Xp. I know there is a way I can do this because the other computer saw my ipod and put the files on there just fine.
Thanks

You'll need to switch to manual update (iPod preferences after the iPod is attached).
After that, you'll need to drag the songs to the iPod icon in the source panel.
Good luck!

Itunes Won't add certain fully Compatible Video Files from Another Library

I recently updated to Leopard 10.5.2 on all my Mac computers. Ever since doing so, trying to add certain ipod compatible files to my Windows machine is touch and go. I have been doing the same add a file network transfer every day without incident pulling from three different Mac Itunes libraries. Until I went from 10.5.1 to 10.5.2. I can see, click, and request the file, but some files transfer without delay, others never copy over. I can't figure out why. One day recurring files with similar names transfer, others don't. I thought it could be a file name issue or directory name length, but I couldn't detect a pattern. The only way to transfer the file is to copy and paste to my Windows desktop, then drag and drop to my Windows Itunes libarary. Everything works fine that way, but it takes extra steps. Anyone have any ideas. I have no trouble with both my Mac and windows machines seeing each other and trasnferring files using explorer and Finder.

When this happens on my Win XP home PC, the file & folder have been mysteriously set to read only.
But you said yours were coming from a Mac, right?
In Windows, right-click on the file > Get Properties. I uncheck the read only box. Sometimes I have to restart iTunes. Other times I've had to restart the whole PC because the lock won't go away until I do.
Older versions of Windows had a nifty way to get rid of file locks on-the-fly, but they removed it in WinXP.
It's not just iTunes, either. These random file locks/read only settings happen with other files. I started happening about 6-9 months ago after a Windows update.

I have an iPod whose contents I want to transfer to a newer Ipod. At some stage I lost the music files from my library. Is there any way to get them back from the older iPod and put them onto the newer one again? I stupidly synced the wrong one.

Have you not got a backup of your content on, for example, external drives ? If not then you could have a look to see if any of the utilities mentioned in this old post still exist and work : https://discussions.apple.com/message/11014893?messageID=11014893#11014893

Move file from one library to another library via SharePoint 2010 Designer Workflow

Can SharePoint 2010 designer be able to move a file from one library to another using workflow? I tried to use the copy list item but it won't show my destination library. I prefer not to use the 3rd part workflow like
http://www.codeplex.com/SPDActivities
Please advise.

Hi Brain,
From your narration, I undersatnd that you want to move document to another library across site or site collection. However,
the copy list item action is used for coping list item to another library or list in the same site, so you can’t achieve it through ootb workflow action. So to move document to another library across site under the same site collection, then you can use site
content and structure. If across site collection, then I suggest you use that the 3<sup>rd</sup> part workflow action.
For more information about site content and structure,

How do I open library file from another application?

I'm trying to upload a picture from my IPhoto library to the internet. When the internet program asks me to name a file, I browse my "Pictures" folder. And I see the iphoto library there, but it is not available to select. I need to be able to select an individual photo file.
I've worked around this by first copying the file from the library to my desktop, but that's cumbersome and shouldn't be necessary.
How can I do this?
Thanks,

There are many, many ways to access your files in iPhoto:
*For Users of 10.5 Only*
You can use any Open / Attach / Browse dialogue. On the left there's a Media heading, your pics can be accessed there. Apple-Click for selecting multiple pics.
Uploaded with plasq's Skitch!
You can access the Library from the New Message Window in Mail:
Uploaded with plasq's Skitch!
*For users of 10.4 and 10.5* ...
Many internet sites such as Flickr and SmugMug have plug-ins for accessing the iPhoto Library. If the site you want to use doesn’t then some, one or any of these will also work:
To upload to a site that does not have an iPhoto Export Plug-in the recommended way is to Select the Pic in the iPhoto Window and go File -> Export and export the pic to the desktop, then upload from there. After the upload you can trash the pic on the desktop. It's only a copy and your original is safe in iPhoto.
This is also true for emailing with Web-based services. However, if you're using Gmail you can use iPhoto2GMail
If you use Apple's Mail, Entourage, AOL or Eudora you can email from within iPhoto.
If you use a Cocoa-based Browser such as Safari, you can drag the pics from the iPhoto Window to the Attach window in the browser.
*If you want to access the files with iPhoto not running*:
Create a Media Browser using Automator (takes about 10 seconds) or use this free utility Karelia iMedia Browser
Other options include:
1. *Drag and Drop*: Drag a photo from the iPhoto Window to the desktop, there iPhoto will make a full-sized copy of the pic.
2. *File -> Export*: Select the files in the iPhoto Window and go File -> Export. The dialogue will give you various options, including altering the format, naming the files and changing the size. Again, producing a copy.
3. *Show File*: Right- (or Control-) Click on a pic and in the resulting dialogue choose 'Show File'. A Finder window will pop open with the file already selected.
Regards

Can't drag files from itunes library (to anywhere) anymore.

Recently I've noticed I can no longer drag files from the library in my itunes. I can't drag them to playlists, and I can't drag them to the desktop.
I have repaired permissions and even tried removing the library.xml file and let it generate a new one, but I still get the same result.
I am on a mac os 10.6.8 Macbook Pro.
I'm not sure when ths started happening, but I wonder if it has something to do with an itunes update. I have the newest version and always dwnload the updates. I can still add files to the library by control-clicking the files and selecting the option in the dropdown list. This isn't an intentional change in the way the program works is it? Is no one else having this problem??

Iphone will sync or manually manage with one and only one computer at a time.
Syncing or manually managing to another will indeed erase the current content and replace with the content from the new computer.

N95 - restored .nbu file from another phone

Hello,
So I had the "bright" idea of using the "restore" function of the PC Suite using an .nbu file from another Nokia phone (my previous job mobile).
In my head this would work something like:
1. click restore using the .nbu from the other phone
2. all contacts/ sms's/ calendar entries will be added to the ones already into my N95
3. voila--> I have evertyhing in one phone.
What seems to have really happened, is that I now only have the contacts/ sms's/ calendar entries of that other job mobile, and all the stuff from my N95 has dissapeared...
I am kind of hoping that someone here can help me.
Is there any way to get my old contacts/ smss back?
Thank you!

Welcome to BlackBerry Support Forum...
AS you've mentioned that you could easily sync your Motorola with desktop then you should transfer all the contacts to Desktop email client. Now check this link to how to synchronize you BlackBerry with Desktop Manager

How to compile and run a .java file from another java program

hello,
can any one tell me how to compile and run a *.java* file from another java program which is not in same directory?

Well a smarter way of implementing this is by using a solution provided by Java Itself.
If you are using J2SE 6.0+ there is an in built solution provided along with JDK itself and inorder to go ahead with solution the below are set of API which you;d be using it for compiling Java Programs (Files)
http://java.sun.com/javase/6/docs/api/javax/tools/package-summary.html
How do i do that ??
Check out the below articles which would help you of how to do that

Now once we are done with compilation.In order to run a Specific class all you ought to do is create an object and its specific methods of a specified class included in the CLASSPATH which you can manage it easily by usage little bit reflections.
Hope that might help :)

Can't see dmd file from another user

I just installed SDDM v3.1 and tried to open a dmd file from another user (I have used it to create my own model, saved it and can open it later). The log says "Open Design: 'filename'", then "Open Design: OK". But I don't see anything in the Logical (Logical Model) window. If I try to Import the same file, I get an error message that says look at the log file for details. Except that the log file has no entries in it. Is there an issue with what version the other file was saved under or some other format? Thanks for any help on this.

Hi,
There is now a forum specifically for Data Modeler topics: SQL Developer Data Modeler
I assume that you are using the latest version (3.1.3.709).
Provided the model includes some Entities, they should show up in the Logical Model window.
The log file is normally in file datamodeler.log in folder datamodeler\datamodeler\log (unless some other location has been set in the Environment/Log page of the Preferences (accessed from the Tools menu).
The log should at least contain a line like
2012-10-19 11:03:18,457 [main] INFO ApplicationView - Oracle SQL Developer Data Modeler 3.1.3
for each time you start a Data Modeler session.
It is possible that the log is in a read-only location, and so Data Modeler cannot write to it.
In this case I would recommend that you update the Preferences to use a writable location.

How to sync ipod touch to new computer itunes library after old itunes library computer crash without wiping out "library" on ipod touch

how to sync ipod touch to new computer itunes library after old itunes library lost in computer crash, without erasing ipod touch

Sync is only oneway, from PC to your device. Unless you have the music on your PC, iTunes is going to wipe out what you have on your device if you are syncing to a new library.
You can only transfer Purchased music over to Itunes on your PC.

As for you own music, you may have to use a third party software. A good Free one is called Sharepod which you can download from Download.com here:

How do I move files from Event Library to Project Library?

How do I move Files from Event Library to Project Library? I tried drop and drag, that didn't work. I am new to Apple. I have always had a windows box b4 this. If anyone can help, please do. Thanks
Alain

welcome argardner to the  boards..
you're missing the concept of iM .. you don't move 'files' from Event to Project Library.. Events is the big box of all your imported clips; now, from that box of bricks, you drag the clips into all kind of projects.. you can 're-use' the same clip again'n again in many projects.. you can use all clips of all Events in one Project.. or all clips of one Event in two projects.. or..
spend some time here:
http://www.apple.com/ilife/tutorials/#imovie

the concept of Events & Projects, Clips and Libraries is at first glance very different to 'normal' editing apps, but you'll get convenient to it within minutes..
