120GB dead. Big red X. How can I save my 10000 songs?

Hi guys, I need your help badly.
My iPod classic 120gb died on me. Red x. Computer won't recognize it. I have +10000 songs on that iPOd and that iPod alone. I am a music freak. Some of those songs were really hard to find. And I can't remember 10.000 songs to retrieve them all over again. I really need to have a way to somehow copy those songs from that iPod.
Anyone with ideas? You would have no idea how huge my gratitude would be if someone could find the solution.

Hi,
I'm probably too late to this conversation but I came across it while looking for a solution to a dead iPod issue I have.
It's not fixed yet but I have been able to backup the hard drive.
The problem is slightly different in that the iPod is just dead. Nothing on screen even with external power.
I found if i took the back cover off, disconnecting the battery and the link to the headphones and removed the battery and reconnected it to the lower left corner where it would normally connect, the iPod would start and allow me access from my PC.

TS1373 how can I save my 5000 songs if my ipod is locked up and will not re-set or go into disk mode?

I've been trying to re-set & trying to put my ipod into disk mode with no luck. I have gotten songs from everywhere and have no way of replacing them. What can I do?

Forecast isn't looking good then. At this point you're only remaining options would be to use some sort of iPod hard drive data recovery service, but that can be expensive and results are not always guaranteed.

I have a fifth gen Ipod and have changed computers. I was not able to transfer all the music over when I created an itunes account on the new computer. How can I save all the songs on my ipod and upload new ones? It wants to sync with my new account.

I have a fifth gen ipod classic. I switched computers and was not able to transfer the songs and pictures over. When I connect my ipod to the computer it wants to sync with it which would delete all my songs and music. Is there a way around this?

See this older post from another forum member Zevoneer covering the different methods and software available to assist you with the task of copying content from your iPod back to your PC and into iTunes.

Since Prelude doesn't work with Red footage, how can I add logging info to a file in Premiere Pro

Since Prelude doesn't work with Red footage, how can I add logging info to a file in Premiere Pro CS6?

RED footage has a restriction on metadata. We are looking into what it would take to get full metadata support into our system, but you cannot tag red footage at this time.

I updated iPhoto but the app store still shows that red 1, how can I remove it?

I updated iPhoto but the app store still shows that red 1, how can I remove it? I can't right click, i cant do anything to get rid of it.

Nope that's not it, I always use that particular ID, but the @me.com portion of the Apple ID is missing when trying to download from the App Store on the Phone.
It is grayed out inside the App Store app so I can't change it there and I already changed it in the settings.
The entire Apple ID is fine in the Settings so I don't get why the App Store ID is different and missing information.

Nearly dead senior project DVD...how can I save it?

How can I save my old high school project DVD to my hard drive? I have a senior project from back in the day that I'd love to keep but the disc is on its last legs. Can I somehow get it from the disc to my computer? I don't want to lose this video, I think I have the last copy. If it breaks, I'm going to lose the best part of those years. There's no copyright problems or anything, we just improve like kids for 20 minutes. I just don't know what to do to make sure we can make fun of each other forever.

If the DVD is not too badly damaged, you should be able to find a folder called Video TS on there and copy it to your computer. DVD Player will play the Video TS file as if it was the original DVD.

How can I save finished and shared movies from old iMovieHD-projects

Hi there, I have a big problem:
I have found some old iMovieHD 6 Projects. (.iMovieProject) that already have been finished years ago.
Now I would like to save the finished movies outside the projects but I can't find a way to do this although I've been searching in the www for hours.
When I go to the folder 'shared movies' I find a small .mov file - it's only some KB big.
I can start this and the movie plays with no problem im QuickTime Player 7, the quality ist quite ok - original films were .DV from a camcorder.
When I use iDVD I can take this movie without problems and burn it as DVD or .img on my hard disk.
In this .img I can find the folder VIDEO-TS where I can find the movie al .VOB. But the Quality is really awful.
How can I save the finished movie right out of the folder 'shared movies' in the best quality, maybe as .mov or other ?
I can't install iMovieHD 6.0.3 because my old iLive install-DVD was sold with my old macbook years ago and I don't know if it would work anyway on Mavericks 10.9.5
Now I have iMovie 10 and 11. Importing the old projects would not solve the problem because only the original clips were imported, not the project itself.
Would be QuickTime Pro a solution ? There are items like 'save as' or 'export' but I don't know if it works with this kind of files...

Save the clips as Quicktime files (full quality), then you can import them into later versions of iMovie. An iMovie 6 project would not be compatible with recent versions of iMovie.

How can I delete a single song from my iPad?

How can I delete a single song from my iPad?

Hi lizdance40,
The first part of your answer worked great, thanks for that! However, since doing that, there are still songs on the iPad that I want to delete. I place my finger on the song, swipe to the left....and nothing. No red "delete" appears at the right. That used to work on my full size iPad, but not on this mini. I just purchased it last Friday...maybe it's defective?
Thanks again,
Sirsheila

I imported an hour of video into iMovie HD and cut it down to a 33 sec clip, and emptied the trash. When I save the project, the file size is 20Gb. How can I save just the 33 sec clip?

I imported an hour of video into iMovie HD and cut it down to a 33 sec clip, and emptied the trash. When I save the project, the file size is 20Gb. How can I save just the 33 sec clip?

Non-destructive editing is an important feature of iMovie HD 6.
iMovie preserves the entire copy of every clip you place into your movie in case you change your mind at a later stage.
So, if you have cut out one minute from a 45 minute clip, iMovie will have stored two complete copies of that clip. This is why is helps to set import as 3-5 minute clips rather than one huge chunk. As DV runs at 13GB per hour your project files can get very big.
One workaround is to complete the editing of a section of the movie, then export that to Quicktime: highlight the clip/s, choose Share-Quicktime, turn on Share selected clips only, and choose Full Quality from the pop-ip menu.
Once you have saved the stand-alone clip to your hard drive, you can re-import it into your project using the File/Import command, and delete the original long clip/s from the project.

How can I save a custom workspace?

Using PSE 11, I get the panels set up the way I want, and the background that shows behind the document white like I want, and all is well. Until the comptuer loses it and I have to redo it all over. I have no idea why this happens once in a while, but it's a big pain. How can I get it to save my choices for these things? It also lost all my preferences that I set.

When I search help for this command, this is what it says:
"Go to Edit > Preferences (Mac: Photoshop Elements > Preferences > General), click the Reset Preferences on next launch button, and then click OK. When you restart Adobe Photoshop Elements, all preferences are reset to default settings."
I don't want to go back to default settings, I want it to save mine so I don't randomly lose them. I'm confused!
FYI, this used to happen to me once in a while on PSE5 on our old winXP computer, also. Is it something to do with updates? It's not every time the computer gets restarted, just random as far as I know. I'm using Win8 now if that matters.

How can I save my images like a "wedding photographer" does?

I have a Pixma PRO-100. . . with a Windows 8.1 PC. . . and printing through Adobe Photoshop Elements 11.
I just printed some wedding pictures of my daughter - which I got from the "wedding photographer"... when I printed them - they were an exact match to what I saw on my screen (which I've calibrated)... and dead on crisp, great quality.
I'm wondering what a wedding photographer does to their images to make them so "solid" in printing. How do they save them?
when I print something from a my files, (Raw, NEF, or JPEG's) - there always seems to be a color or quality problem? Never a match. It takes several adjustments and print samples before I get what I want.
Is the ICC Profile a problem - or How can I save my images like a wedding photog does? So they print exact?

" ... (Raw, NEF, or JPEG's) ... "
I suspect there are some minor differences you are not seeing and/or noticing on screen. But right off, no real wedding photographer will shoot in anything except RAW. You should be using RAW, only, too. The RAW file to start with has way more info in it than any jpeg does.
Next I would bet your wedding photographer does some tweaking to highlights and shadows, plus s ome other stuff that you are not. In other words he is getting the photos ready for printing. Remember printing on paper and "printing for on screen" is two different things.

Good morning Tom,
re: titels.
your are right, I can make the titels as big as I want, but not as long as I want.
Do you have an idea how I can work around this.

PS. sorry I live in AUstria and use the German version.
