5000 mp3s stuck on desktop...Help!

Hi everyone, and thanks for your help in advance. I just made the switch from pc to an Imac and am very happy so far. I had just finished moving about 5000 mp3s onto my new computer yesterday, when my finger slipped and they all dropped onto the desktop... When I try to put them in the trash (which is what i was trying to do in the first place) I get "some of the files you are using are in use by another application" and i have to erase them ONE BY ONE?!? I have quit all programs and tried restarting in safe mode, but i still get the same message. Please save me from having to delete these files on by one. Thanks

Hi
Here's a solution I've used for other massively-filed-up desktops. Reboot the computer holding down the cmd and S keys to get into "single user mode". You'll get to a text prompt. Type in the following, and hit return after each line.
mount -uw /
cd Users
cd yourusername - for example, "cd rjcooker"
cd Desktop
mkdir mp3folder
mv *.m4a mp3folder
ls
The final command, "ls", will list the files on your desktop including any remaining music files (any which don't have an .mp3 extension). If there are a small number, you can ignore them. If you still have hundreds of files - perhaps with a .m4a extension (for AAC files), you can run the same "mv" command to get them into the folder:
mv *.m4a mp3folder
Once you've got the files moved, type "exit" to reboot. You should now be able to see your Desktop!

Itunes on external hard drive - some mp3s stalling and crashing - HELP!

Hi,
I hope somebody can help me.
I've had my itunes library on a western digital external hard drive for nearly a year now. i have upwards of 17, 000 songs. Recently after a few seconds playback of certain songs the hard drives starts to click, the songs stalls, jumps ahead then stalls.
I can't play these tracks in another player such as RealPlayer, or even playing the file through Get Info direct from the hard drive.
It's happening more frequently and I'm worried I'm going to end up losing a lot of songs. I also tried dragging the mp3 onto the desktop but it comes up with:
+The Finder cannot complete the operation because some data in " " could not be read or written. (Error Code -36.)+
Is there anyway to salvage the files? Stop it happening to other ones?
I'd really appreciate a response if anybody has had a similar experience or knows what to do.
Thanks,
Tom.

Hi,
In case you haven't solved your problem yet, here are some tips.
First, the file that iTunes was indicating was "Damaged" was probably the main file it uses, iTunes Library in your "Music" folder. If this file is corrupted for any reason, iTunes will rename it with the word "Damaged" in the filename, and create a new, empty iTunes Library file. Since all the metadata, containing the definitions of the playlists, etc are stored in this file, you lose all your playlists when the "Damage" occurs. The underlying music files are untouched, as you indeed see.
I've not run into any scripts that actually repair a "Damaged" library file per se. But, if you have a copy of your files on a backup tape, CD, or another machine, you can simply copy that backup file back onto your "Music/iTunes" folder, thereby overwriting the new, empty library file, and you should have all your playlists back. I've done this a number of times without problem when I've had damaged library files.
Going forward you might want to take a look at iTunes Library Manager in Doug's Applescripts for iTunes for managing your library file.
Secondly, check iTunes/Preferences/Advanced and check to make sure the path to your iTunes library is correctly shown in the window. If not, correct it with the "Change" button. You will note that the iTunes library, xml file and a few other files will remain in your "Music/iTunes" folder, while all of your music will be located on your external drive. Don't move the remaining iTunes files in your "Music/iTunes" folder.
As you add new music to your library, you'll see the audio file be copied to your external drive, while the iTunes library file will grow slightly.
Good luck!

Installed BT Desktop help,now PPPOA is crashing be...

I installed bt desktop help yesterday, my hub3 as been connected since the mods reset my snr and took off the banding(so they say,i think its just been raised a little because my speed is now continuessly 12.5meg even after all the disconnects today),i went to bed at 5am this morning,got up at 2pm,looked in hub event log because i noticed my hub timer had been up only a few hours,at 6 am it tried to communicate with motive which is bt desktop help, its full of motive modules and drivers and services, obviously it cant comunicate while the pc is off so it made pppoa go down after 2days, then it tried again at 9am and did the same, and again at 12pm, i suspect if i never turned on my pc that it would of tried again at 3pm, i turned the pc on at 2pm.Before installing bt desktop help(motive) my event log is completley clear of motive acs username addresses, not once as it tried to communicate with this address so it must be down to the desktop help, thing is if i uninstall bt desktop help it seems to mess things up as my pc wont auto sign ip addresses and network gateways(wont pick up the hub) so basiclly bt desktop is here to stay unless i re install the whole os, my advice is dont install it you will be so peed when you cant get a perfectly working pc to function normally after you try an uninstall bt desktop help,i went through everything manually(the registry, all folders etc) and deleted everything to do with desktop help but it made no difference,i still had to run diagnose to get the pc to connect to the hub,i repaired the ip stack, reset the winsock catalouge and still no different,i reinstalled desktop help and it works again,so there you have it, im now stuck with the hhb3 trying to communicate with motive when the pc is off there im not going to be able to maintain a constant connection

The hub3 tried to communicate with motive again while my pc was off, im now back to a high snr and 9meg ip profile which is stuck again, upnp is creating ports which i presume is desktop help,(i hope)i uninstalled desktop help and hard reset the hub but its still creating ports and still communicating with motive acs username, i have a few after the hard reset, some say ( 175.300000) Initializing transaction for event code 6 CONNECTION REQUEST, and,( 162.120000) Server URL: https://pbthdm.bt.motive.com; Connecting as user: ACS username,and,( 107.610000) Server URL: http://pbthdmw.bt.motive.com; Connecting as user: Default username. These are my stats now, i used to be 12.53meg with snr of 6.0db

BT Desktop Help problems.

Having problems with my home network (My pc, wifes laptop, lads pc upstairs) and wanted to use DTH to check it out. I opened it and a window opened stating I didn't have the latest version installed, so I clicked to download, it started installing, then stopped as it was already installed. So, I uninstalled it, via control panel, and went to reinstall it. I am now stuck in a loop of install/uninstall and cannot get any further.
Anyone else come across this? Check for spy/mal ware regularly, all updates are spot on, bit flummoxed.

With what you are trying to do the Desktop Help wont help...
What you need to do is download and install this on the XP machine if it has SP3... http://support.microsoft.com/kb/922120 this will allow XP and Windows 7 to see and talk to each other.
Have a look at this http://www.howtogeek.com/howto/windows-7/share-files-and-printers-between-windows-7-and-xp/ this is exactly what to do to share files and printers between the PC's on your network.

Unending connectivity problems -- and Desktop Help...

I'm wasting so much time on connectivity problems that it's positively wearying. Prior to the installation of BT Infinity here in April, I had a low quality broadband service because of the length of the line from the exchange: if I could get a download speed of 1.2Mbps and an upload of a quarter of that, I was doing well.
BT advised that thanks to fibre optic, my Internet should run much faster. So we had Infinity installed. I'm registered with Speedtest.net so am able to see my performance record.
The average download speed is now aroun d 6Mbps and the average upload, more than that at 7Mbps. How an upload speed can consistently be faster than a download escapes me.
But I'm not familiar with the ways of Internet connectivity and try as a I might, can't get my head around it.
This desktop computer runs Vista OS. Vista was **bleep** when it came out and is renowned for its botched handling of Internet connections. So I'm not blaming BT for the literally unending connectivity problems that are occurring now, with line drops, speeds slowing to a crawl, and no guarantee that any connection will last. But it would be good to actually use BT software to help fathom out what's going wrong here, and today's typical morning which looks like this:
1) Boot up computer. Automatic connection to hub via Netgear USB wireless adapter. Hub is on ground floor of this 3-storey property but signal strength from hub is excellent, as confirmed by inSSIDer monitoring, currently showing 54 with no other networks anywhere near that figure.
2) Perhaps 5 minutes after connection established, it's then lost. 'Local Only' is displayed. This is, apparently, a known Vista problem. But Microsoft has issued a fix for it. I know this, because it took 100 hours of ploughin g the Net to find out that MS had finally admitted to one more Vista screw-up. I've used the Microsoft router "fix it" before and it didn't work ("failed to process") so uninstalled it and have DL'd it again now and run it. This time it says it has fixed everything.
3) Computer is re-booted to make the fix effective. Computer connects to Internet. Speedtest.net check yet again confirms that upload speed is faster than download speed.
4) Connection dies. So much for Microsoft Fix It.
5) Windows diagnostics reports that it can re-set the IP profile (or something.) I click yes. The re-set goes through. Connectivity is restored. 10 minutes later, connectivity is lost. Just a red X in the tray. No connection of any kind, not even that daft 'Local Connection' only alert.
6) Reboot. Yet again. BT Desktop Help was installed here and ran OK when we were using our Netgear DSG34 router. But since the change to the BT Hub, the BT program has never run at all. So-oo. . . It has been uninstalled. And then re-DL'd and re-installed. And though the installation has been completed, clicking on 'launch' has failed to launch anything. But anyway. An hour ago, in one of the brief periods today when the Internet connection was holding up, I Revo-ed out the earlier install, DL'd BT desktop Help and re-installed it. . . and I'm still at the same stage as always, with a Firefox browser page that's open and completely blank and has been for the past 30 minutes. The URL is:
file:///C:/Program%20Files/BT%20Broadband%20Desktop%20Help/btbb/Start.html
Repeated page re-loading gets nowhere. Malwarebytes PRO is turned OFF to prevent any possibility of blocking and the antivirus is termporaily SUSPENDED. This PC runs on Windows standard firewall but even turning that OFF doesn't get the page to load. Copying the address into Internet Explorer in case there's a Firefox problem merely results in Firefox being opened and the same blank page running there.
7) After all that. . . Connection lost yet again and this time, Windows cannot connect at all. It reports that the "wireless network security key is not correct". I happen to know that it is, because this is maybe the 20th time it has reported this in the past 10 days and every time I have to key in the "correct" key all over again. . . at which point Windows still says it isn't correct and cannot repair.
Turning off the computer completely, unplugging from the wall, holding in the power switch for a full minute to clear the circuits, traipsing up and dowen three flights of stairs to turn off the hub, then wait, then turn the power back onm again. . . Ah, wot fun times I'm having here with my particular versioin of Infinity (as in, an infinity of connectivcity problems.)
Summary: I seem to be being simultaneously hit with one issue after another.
I'm bewildered as to why ever since Infinity was installed here, my upload speed is generally faster than my download speed. I'm not happy with endless Internet connection failures though am thinking that Vista is playing a large part here with its "wrong security key" and unending 'Local Only / Limited Connection' failures. I do miss my Netgear router and the ability to access a fantastic help menu and re-boot directly from the desktop without having to keep going up and down three flights of sdtairs to do so (I haven't been able to find out how toe access the BT Hub remotely.)
Above all though: I'm really tired of repeatedly trying to run freshly downloaded and installed BT Desktop Help software but getting no further than a blank page because the program has stalled.
If anyone has any advice / suggestions, other than to buy a carrier pigeon, that'd be much appreciated.
Thanks.

Thanks again to John and gg30340. Here's an update:
1) BT Desktop Help removed completely from this computer. The uninstaller itself mopped up everything, which surprised me. But anyway.
2) Bt Home Hub manager set up and working. Had to input serial number and create new password. All of this sounds fairly easy and would be if one had the device near the desk. But the idiots who built this property shoved the BT master socket inside the garage next to the door. Our two home computers are on the third floor. To ensure the wireless signal strength is OK, the Hub and Infinity module/device/whatever it's called are on a high shelf. It's a major job to even reach the darn things, never mind read the labels seeing as how the BT Infinity engineer was good enough to tidy up the cabling and make a very tight connection to the wall socket.
3) I had hoped to be able to back up the Hub's settings, seeing as the software provides for Advanced Settings / System / Backup. But not on mine (Hub 3.0). All that System allows is choosing which internet clock to define the accurate time. Everything else in System is just a pattern of short lines as if trying to indicate that there's some text there but it's invisible.This is now my second encounter with BT software which, for whatever reason, isn't functioning as it should on this PC.
4) Hub reset to factory fresh, according to BT guide.
5) Reset appears to have achieved nothing apart from requiring the password to be popped in again. After reset, it wasn't even possible to connect to the hub manager. Internet connectivity was eventually established for all of 30 seconds and then, gone.
6) Computer was shut down and then booted anew. Internet connectivity is still. . . dreadful. One minute everything's fine and then, literally,. the next minute a webpage won't load. Even opening the Hub Manager has taken three attempts, i.e., disconnecting from the Internet, re-connecting, failing, and trying twice more until success. Yet all the time these failures are occurring, the tray icon is showing a steady, unwavering green icon for Local and Internet access -- despite the fact, there manifestly isn't any.
7) Speedtest. net tests are actually showing upload and download 'trajectories' going slower and slower and finally halting at some point on the arc, then after a period of up to 30 seconds, suddenly becoming animated again. Speed test results with broadband speed checker UK and Think Broadband's checker are so at variance with one another, and with Speedtest, net, that it seems all three are using different technologies in pursuit of the same thing. Either way, upload speeds continue to be much, much faster than download speeds, a state of affairs I certainly have never encountered before.
8) Speedtest net tests taken in the past 10 minutes, with one test following on from its predecessor, begin at 8.24 down/8.88 up, followed by 5.24 down / 6.40 up, followed by a mind-numbingly lonnnnng 0.62 down / 8.70 up -- in other words, a continuous yo-yoin g of Internet connectivity to the pooint that it actually might as well not even be here (I've had to make five attempts just to get on to this forum. . .)
9) BT Speedtest will necessitate disconnection of everything downstairs and all boxes being lugged up here. This is actually going to require uncoililng tied-off cabling and hanging off a stepladder to do so -- though I surely can't be the only person in Britain who doesn't have a nice, handy BT master socket in their study or lounge. That said though: until we switched to Infinity, we *never* experienced these kinds of horrendous connectivity problems and never had need to unplug the Netgear router downstairs and bring it upstairs to connect directly to tjhe desktop PC so BT's own test could be run.
I'll just have to get to work dismantling stuff tomorrow. However, I have to say that after a factory re-set which has changed nothing at all, I'm beginning to think there's a problem with the BT line itself (hence why I'm happy to follow the advice here, though less than happy at the prospect of the messing about involved.)
Thanks, you two, for your patient help, and also for clarifying the situation re the three signal paths being shown on inSSIDer. At least I know that's usual now! And now, hopefully, when I press 'Post', I won't be faced with an endlessly spinning Firefox circle culminating in what may well be, or seem to be, the 57,938th time today of seeing "Page Not Found". . .

Muse/business catalyst: opera mini / opera mobile gets stuck in desktop view

After visiting a muse site and switching to desktop view, Opera Mini continues to serve it up even when reverting the original URL:
1. Create a site site.com with a mobile and desktop view.
2. Provide link to get from mobile to desktop.
3. Open site with opera mini. The mobile view loads.
4. Click the link to get to the desktop view. Muse redirects to something like site.com/phone/index.html?devicelock=phone
5. Put in the URL for the original site, eg. site.com.
6. Now, when you go to site.com, the URL resolves to the desktop site. Incorrectly.
7. Try clearing the history and cache in opera mini -> same result.
8. Go to explicit link to phone site. Then go back to base URL site.com. Still resolves incorrectly to desktop site.
It appears Muse is not supporting opera mini / mobile responsively, please advise.

That's not quite correct. Please see step #8 above. Even if I follow a "go to phone site" link with a "devicelock=phone" parameter, it may take me to the phone site, but default navigation remains stuck on desktop, when I put in the site URL. If your understanding of the design is what you described, then the actual behavior is not in alignment. I would appreciate you passing that on to the engineers.
Even with the design you describe, there is a problem considering the following use case:
1. User views phone site on their flip phone.
2. User attempts to load desktop site. Site loads, but is not viewable on mobile device.
3. User wants to revert to phone site and does not have ability to click a link, so they go back to the referring page or e-mail which contains ... the original site URL.
After the user clicks desktop link, the site is lost to them, unless they can figure out how to (and agree to) kill all their cookies.

BT Desktop Help latest version doesn't work.

After a reboot of my computer today I received an onscreen message that I was not running the latest version of BT Desktop Help so I went ahead with the update. After the update was installed and it was going through the launch process where it informs me that the diagnostic modules are launching, I then received another message telling me that I was not running the latest version and to click on a link to install the latest version. Clicking this link had no effect whatsoever.
I then decided to completely uninstall the BT Desktop Help in the correct way and rebooted the computer before downloading and installing the application yet again from the BT web site. Unfortunately I am still getting the same message when I try to run it so it would appear that there is a bug in the update/latest version. I am running Windows 7.
Although I rarely have cause to run the application, any help on this issue would be appreciated. Thanks

My advice and that of many on this forum is to uninstall BTDesktop Help. It is a piece of software junk and can cause more problems than it solves. It is not needed to connect to the Internet or for anything else on your computer.

Re: BT Broadband Desktop Help problem

I am new to this FORUM and as yet have not been able to find how to open a THREAD so I have taken this facility to post my query or should it be queries.
According to the BT.Com website the Broadband Desktop Help program functions with XP, Vista and Windows 7. Each of these have their own email client program, Outlook Express (XP), Windows Mail (Vista) and Windows Live Mail (Windows 7). These are all flagged as being functional with the Desktop Help program,
Several weeks ago one or two of my BT email addresses started to be flagged as being a problem and they were not confined to one PC. Checking the Properties of these addresses and comparing them with other BT email address I could not find any apparent difference in their properties.
Taking my PC which has been running XP and Outlook Express (OE) for a number of years without any apparent problems. The only thing that I had done was to add a couple of additional BT email addresses and I thought that the configuration with these may be the problem so I used the Desktop Help Program. This initially did not flag any problems with my setup of OE.
Thus I checked the email program on a PC running Vista with Windows Mail, this occasionally flagged different addresses failing. I also tried the same exercise of checking the email's on a PC running Windows 7, this also appeared to display a similar problem with the email addresses.
I believe that when a User setup an email address he basically enters a limited number of parameters and the remainder of the setting are preset for or by the Mail Server.
After trying to confirm all the properties across the email's client and could not find any reason for the dropouts I resorted to the use of the Desktop Help program in an attempt to resolve the problems.
With OE, sometimes when running 'TROUBLESHOOT EMAIL'S' I get a display notifying me that one of the addresses fail and the program offers to fix it. Taking this step the next display informs me that the .
'Diagnostic Check' was succesful, confirming that the Connection and email setting are correct.
I would be quite happy at this point except the display goes on to say ''We have fixed the following email settings' without any notification of wahat has been changed.
Seeing that XP and Vista have ceased to be supported by Microsoft, I wish to move up to Windows 7, thus the use of Desktop Help with these other Microsoft Windows version.
This is where another apparent problem exists with the program. When initiallising the program on either Vista or Windows 7 I am informed by the program that NO EMAIL CLIENT PROGRAM is installed. Selecting various links in the displays I get VERY CONFUSING dispays. With Vista the secong display informs me that I have 'Windows Mail 32 Bit installed.
Taking the recommended Support Path, contacting 0800 111 4567, I explain the problem to them along with the fact that an email address which functioned YESTERDAY and has done so for sometime has dropped out. The reaponse I get is can I go online to the BT-YAHOO Mail Server and access each of my Emails adresses, my reply is YES, rsponse there is no problem. Question, Why does the address dropout when using OE, response, we do not support OE.
The fact that not only does OE dropout and also BT Desktop Help flags a problem does not register with them that there is a problem.
Mentioning that Desktop Help has an apparent problem accross the Windows OS systems iis of no concern of them as it is a BT product and they are BT-YAHOO, which I would have thought would concern them.
When I have been able to get in touch with BT.COM about these apparent problems I am informed that no action will be taken because no other USER has flagged the problem.
