Advice / Help needed on how to tackle this mountain...

First, I've scoured the forums looking for an answer and some clarity, but have come up empty. Any advice or help you can offer will be greatly appreciated...
So I'm trying to tackle the feat of sorting though thousands of MP3s in several different fodlers, and getting them all stored in one folder, with just the ones I want to keep (estimated to be about 3,000 when all said and done). Having iTunes just automatically copy them as I drag and drop is perfect, but I don't want the program to automatically sort them in hundreds of different folders. Is there a way to not completely turn this folder off, but have it just copy into the root folder?
Assuming the answer is no, what's the best way for me to approach this? Right now I've turned off the copy feature, have been adding 100 or so songs into a new playlist, editing the tags in iTunes, and copying into my finish root folder. However, I obviously lose my rating when I move the files, and have to update my library by removing all previous files in library, and adding the root folder again.
A way around this is for me to just not assign a rating to any files until I have my final root folder set for import into iTunes library, but this also raises a conceptual problem: I use other programs for uplaoding songs from CDs and DLing, and have them all sent to an "Unsorted MP3s" folder. I would like to be able to go back to this folder, edit the tags and clean them up, then copy them into the root folder and updating my library without having to remove all and reimport the whole folder, losing all my ratings and playcounts.
So I guess there's really 2 questions I have;
First, is there a way to have iTunes just copy the file into a root folder without automatically sorting and creating folders itself?
If no, what's the best way for me to go about updating, importing, and copying songs into a singular root folder? I realize I could just stay on top of it, and only add a few files at a time individually, but that solution isn't very feasible when I'd like to update and add large numbers at a time.
I gotta imagine there's something I'm missing here and it's possible. I did have the idea of merging ALL of my MP3s into my root folder first, then delete and edit from iTunes, eventually ending with a perfect library and all files in one folder. However, I'm still posed with the problem of how to add files at a later date without losing my whole library...
Hopefully I haven't been too confusing, and I'll be sure to offer more clarity if need be. Thanks in advance for all the help!

Im not a 100% sure on what your trying to do, i think and correct me if im wrong but you want to copy all your songs that are scattered all over the pc into one folder in the root but not have itunes consolidate the files into folders by name etc.
Im not sure if this is of any help to you but i had songs scattered all over my pc and wanted to put them in a central folder and then share that folder accross multiple user accounts on the one pc (this could be the root if you wish i just chose shared music) if you follow the following link it explained what i did to put all my music in the one place. (I urge caution though as im not 100% certain if this is what you want to do, anyway hope it help)

  • Help needed on how to assign string value to variables in process designer

    Hi,
    I am using LC Workbench 8.0.1 version, I have a business requirement where in my form I have a dropdown box which contains two options i.e,
    1. Accept
    2. Decline
    If the user selects Accept, I have to route the form to user some "x" or if the user selects Decline then the form should be routed to some user "y" .
    To implement this I need to capture the user selected value which is a String.
    can someone explain me how to reslove this..?
    thanks and regards,
    sudheer

    I'm assuming you're using a xfaForm variable that points to an XDP in the repository to render your document.
    In that case, you set the Form Data Mapping to point to that xfaForm variable in the User step.
    When the user submits the form the xfaForm variable contains the data for the form in an XML format. You can have multiple routes that come out of your user step that will check a certain value in the xfaForm variable.
    The xml data for you form will be located under the /process_data/xfaForm/data/datasets/data node.
    You can use an xPath similar to /process_data/xfaForm/object/data/xdp/datasets/data/myNode/MyField
    you can also use the // notation to do a full search within the data node if you're not sure of the structure:
    /process_data/xfaForm/object/data/xdp/datasets/data//MyFieldValue
    I hope this helps.

  • Help me remember how i compressed this PDF

    Could anyone please help me figure out how I created this PDF file, because I don't remember. What program and compression settings did I use?
    In November I compressed the PDF, and I could have sworn it gave me tons more options than what I currently see in Optimize PDF on Acrobat 10. Now I only see JPEG2000, JPEG, and ZIP.
    What I remember seeing when I compressed the PDF was a lot more compression options, JBIG2, LZW, FLATE, DEFLATE, JPEG2000, JPG, ZIP and more spefic settings to apply to the compression.
    I don't have any previous versions of Acrobat installed, or any other type of third party PDF utility. The options I saw were in something that looked like Adobe Distiller, but that couldn't have been it because it looks like Distiller only takes postscript, and I never did make a postscript out of this PDF. And the adiditional compression options I saw  aren't anywhere in Distiller.
    The original uncompressed PDF says "produced in Adobe Acrobat 10.1.1 Image Conversion Plug-in" (Link to DL PDF)
    The compressed PDF that I don't remember how I created says "produced in PDFScanLib v1.2.2 in Adobe Acrobat 10.1.1" (Link to DL PDF)
    An easier question to ask, and better answer for me would be, how do you create a PDF in a way that it says produced in "produced in PDFScanLib v1.2.2 in Adobe Acrobat 10.1.1"? As I already know how to create the PDF so it says "produced in Adobe Acrobat 10.1.1 Image Conversion Plug-in".
    I would really appreciate anyones input and help.

    Those were among the first I tried already. They didn't do what I needed. There's still tons of unwanted pixels around the dancer. So after trying every filter I could think have anything to do with what I need + Googling, I gave up and came here.
    Thanks anyway.
    Maybe I'm using it wrong? Don't think so though.

  • Advice on how to tackle this issue

    Hi All
    More than sql code that will help me with my project, I need advice on what approach to take with building a customers custom reporting.
    They need a daily file with various fields etc, (easy) but theres a twist.
    Within our system our transactions can have have 5 different statuses (new, corrected, locked, extended, closed)
    For every time the transaction changes status our client wants a new record in their report.
    The issue is that our system only tracks or has indicators for when transactions change certain statuses (but not all)
    So I tried building a log table where I check (for a txns received) which ones had changed state.
    The problem is that I was having issues getting the queries running quickly as I used a combination of remote and local tables.
    Now a colleague of mine suggested that I try a dbms_crypto.hash approach to build a hash key (using certain fields) to check for new records or changes.
    The problem is that he is on holiday for the next 2 weeks, so I cant ask him anything else.
    Has anyone used such an approach and will it serve the purpose of identifying new records and changes?
    Thanks

    Hi,
    maybe you can use CDC (Change Data Capture) or maybe GoldenGate. This records all the changes on a table, you can read these changes and put them in your own table (maybe aggregrate). CDC is being described in the Data warehouse Guide, see http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/E11882_01/server.112/e16579/cdc.htm#i1028295.
    Another option is to use LogMiner in which you query on the redo logs or archived logs, see http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/E11882_01/server.112/e16536/logminer.htm

  • Advice needed on how to approach this, passing around strings

    Hello everyone,
    I'm new to network programming and I was just wondering if I could get some clarification and some advice on networking.
    Right now I have a serversocket program that accepts a connection from another server that is sending large strings (events), my server socket program takes these strings (events) and parses them and up stores them into an object and then into a multi-map.
    Now I'm going to take these events and turn them into a string again, and send them to a receiver.
    I'm confused on the processes of how this will happen.
    My Sever Socket program creates a server socket, and listens on port 5656, the program thats sending me the strings (events) connects to socket 5656, and starts sending me data.
    Now once this data is processed and stored as a message object, then what do I have to do to send it off to another program?
    Do I open up another Sever Socket, and listen on port 5000, then when that other reciever program connects to 5000 it will start sending those strings to it?
    If this is the case, what if there is no connection to 5000 to recieve the strings I'm going to send to it? Would I need to maybe store all the strings in a vector and when the client connects to port 5000, should I just start sending them from the vector?
    Or should the recieving application be also a server? So as soon as I get my first string, I can just use the Socket class, rather than the ServerSocket to create a connection like: Socket echoSocket = new Socket("taranis", 5000); Asumming taranis is the name of the server that wants the strings I parsed.
    So my application will have a SocketServer to accept the incoming string, then it will create a Socket and connect to another server to send the string?
    Thanks :D

    Or should the recieving application be also a server?That seems like much the better alternative.
    BTW why don't you just pass the events around in their original form, using Serialization, rather than string-ifying and de-stringifying them everywhere?

  • Help NeEDED. How to link to soap web service from objective c

    Hello , HELP
    I'm trying to connect to a SOAP based web service using objective C as my programming language. Although the little bit of information on the Apple Dev centre documents is should be straight forward, im struggling like **.
    What im trying to do is connect via a small username and password text-box plus 'login' button from interface builder to
    https://api.betfair.com/global/v3/BFGlobalService.wsdl and parameter called login.
    then pass it my username and password from the interface text-boxes plus a few other standard set bits of information which are required.
    in turn the soap request will pass back a session token which i need to store.
    I've tried using WSMakestubs, which builds successfully the classes, but when calling them method nothing happens.

    Hello Etresoft
    Thanks again for coming back to me.. I would like to add that maybe on my first thread i wasn't as clear on what i was asking for, and also what avenues have have stepped down before asking for help.. Believe me i hate nothing more than not being able to resolve something myself. I'm currently reading 'another' programming in cocoa book by Arron Hillgrass, although he touches on the web service call to a Amazon web service example, he doesn't go into detail about how to actually do this.
    So again thank you for trying to help me.. its greatly appreciated.
    Ok back to the subject, and your response below.. I will try and be as informative as i can.
    I'm want to create a application using the interface builder which has a username and password textfield plus a button called <login>..
    On entering the username and password and pressing the login button, i was to send a request to the a .wdsl (SOAP) web service and login.! the webservice in return will send back a session token, which i need to store for further web service calls.
    In xcode i have been trying now for 1 week..!!! and the more i read up on how to make the Soap request call the more i fail to understand if this is simple or complex.
    * A bit more info if i may, on clicking the login button i need to send information to the below address as a soap type request.
    https://api.betfair.com/global/v3/BFGlobalService.wsdl
    i need to also tell the request the method name which is loginreq
    and also i need to pass these parameters in the request.
    username (from textfield)
    password (from textfield)
    productId = '82'
    vendorsoftwareId = '0'
    locationId = '0'
    ipAddress = '0'
    The stage I've got to is, I've used wsmakestubs and I've tried 'wdsl2objc' to create the classes required. I have then created a app controller class and a interface build app with the textfields and login button. I have then linked up the textfields and button to the nsobject appcontroller with a action ibaction loginreq etc. On build and go the app builds without error's but fails to do anything when i press the login button.. (more i think about this the more i think its either two things, one im not passing the parameters and two im not invoking the loginreq method from the class.)
    I feel like im wading in treacle and getting nowhere fast.!
    All i would like is for some help from someone to point me the correct direction..
    Im thinking that with all the Soap web services out there in the WWW, this must now be a easy thing to do in xcode. Im starting to think im stupid..
    Thanks again for you Help

  • Help a newby - How complicated is this baby?

    I've been working with iMovie08 and I'm not happy with the results of what I've produced. So I just picked up a copy of FInal Cut Express 4 at the Mac store today. I came home, installed the software and (boing), this is a tough bugger. So I went online and ordered Lisa Brenneis, book FCE4 Visual Quick Start Guide. I've used Visual Quick Start Guides with other programs and they're usually pretty easy.
    So here's my question. Will a guide like this help a middle aged guy with limited patience dive into this software and become successful? Or should I spend $100 (half the price of the program) to take the FCE4 training at the Mac store?
    I need to get a good grasp of the software ASAP. Any suggestions?
    Thanks!

    Rick ..... please accept my apologies for taking your thread off-topic (in middle-age the mind tends to wander).
    To make up for it I have found this Basic Tutorial to get you started.
    It was posted last April by Da Nam and I am taking the liberty of copying it here without his permission!
    I hope you find it of some use ..........................
    Da Nam: Absolute basic lesson I composed a while back for someone starting out with FCP so, deep breath,
    "Leesten very carefully, I vill say zees only vonce!" * (Franglais accent|)
    * 'Allo, 'Allo - old UK sitcom - I’m sure Ian R. Brown remembers! - apologies to any French speakers!
    1) Set scratch disk -
    i.e specify where your captured media and other files will be stored.
    In the Final Cut Pro menu, go 'system settings' and select the 'scratch disks' tab. Click 'set' and set your scratch disk to your attatched external firewire hard drive (you do know it's not recommended to capture to your system drive, don't you?)
    e.g '(external hard drive name) - users - documents - final cut pro documents'.
    (If you don't have or choose not to use an external FW HD, the scratch disk will be set to '100GB (or however much space you have available) - Macintosh HD - users - documents - final cut pro documents.)
    2) Choose easy set up
    A quick way of choosing an err.... easy set up.
    From the Final Cut Pro menu, choose ‘Easy Setup’ and choose ‘DV-NTSC’ (if that’s what you’re working with)
    3) Go ‘file’ – ‘save as’. Name your project and choose where to save the project file.
    This should be on your system drive (either documents/movies or wherever you prefer). The project file should be backed up frequently – it’s the brain of your project but as it contains no media – just pointers or references – it is small in size so back it up to a removable USB flash drive.
    4) To transfer video from your camcorder to computer (called capturing) connect your camcorder to your Mac via a firewire cable and put it into ‘playback’ or ‘VCR’ mode. (This should be done before launching FCP.
    Captured clips are filed into ‘bins’ in the ‘browser’ window. In anything than the smallest of projects, you will want to have a number of different bins for organizational purposes – e.g scene 1/scene 2 or location X / location Y or whatever you prefer.
    To achieve this go ‘file’ – ‘new bin’ – a ‘bin 1’ icon will appear in the browser – name this, then select it (by clicking on it) and go ‘file’ – ‘set logging bin’ – a small clapperboard will appear next to the bin signifying that this is the bin to which you are capturing your clips.
    Go ‘file’ – ‘Log and Capture’ – The ‘Log and Capture’ window opens and click on the ‘clip settings tab’ and set your ‘capture’ and ‘audio format’ to ‘audio and video’ and ‘stereo’ respectively (or whatever you choose).
    In the ‘Logging’ tab, it’s important to name your ‘reel’ accurately to reflect the name of your source tape.
    Then using the transport controls in the log and capture window to control your video camera, click the play icon to view the video.
    Press the ‘i’ key to set the ‘in’ point of a clip and ‘the ‘o’ key to set the out point. Then click the ‘log clip’ button and fill in some info as required.
    Repeat the last paragraph until you’ve got as many clips into the specified bin as you require.
    At this moment, the clips will be ‘off-line’ (signified by a red strip thro’ the clips in the browser. To digitize these clips and place them on your hard drive, click the ‘batch’ button and in the resulting dialogue, choose ‘all items in logging bin’ or ‘off-line’ or ‘selected clip’ – whatever you want to digitize. Assuming you’ve left enough ‘pre-roll’ / ‘post roll’ at the beginning / end of the tape and you’ve got no timecode breaks in the tape, you should be able to relax and wait till the capture is complete.
    After clicking OK or continue or whatever prompt you are given next, the files will be connected (the red bars magically disappearing) so hit save project and then either create a new logging bin and continue to log or close the log and capture window to start editing.
    5) To start editing, double click a clip in the browser to load it into the viewer window, where you’ll set in and out points (to trim your clips prior to placing in the timeline), view the effects of filters/effects you might apply to the clips and change their properties.
    With the clip loaded into the browser, click the ‘i’ and ‘o’ keys to set in and out points i.e where you want the clip to start and finish and then drag the clip from the viewer onto the timeline. Drag the playhead back and forth and use the transport controls to scrub through the clip and choose your in and out points. Hitting the ‘j’, ‘k’ and ‘l’ keys will play the clip back and forth at varying speeds depending upon how many times you press the keys.
    To the top right of the timeline are 2 small boxes. Hover the cursor above each in turn and you’ll see one says ‘Linked selection’ and the other says ‘snapping’.
    Toggle these on and off to select and deselect either option. Snapping enabled will accurately ‘butt’ up clips next to each other without a gap. Linked selection toggled off allows you to unlink the audio from the video.
    The canvas window is where you can watch the results on the timeline.
    To add an effect from the effects tab in the browser to a clip, drag an effect onto the clip in the timeline, double clip the click to load it into the viewer and adjust the values in the ‘filters’ tab in the viewer, monitoring the result in the canvas.
    It’s recommended to monitor the editing process via some form of external monitor attatched to your Mac via the A/V output of your videocamera/dedicated deck to at the very least a domestic portable TV, if not a broadcast monitor. This will help with colour correction and ‘title safe’ areas for TV playback.
    To output your finished project either use the ‘file’ – ‘print to video’ option and record back to tape in your camcorder or create a Quicktime movie (‘file’ – ‘export’ – quicktime movie’ (leave the ‘make movie self contained’ checkbox unchecked) to use in iDVD/DVD Studio Pro or use ‘Compressor’ to give you more compression options before authoring in DVDSP.
    As I said, this is a beginners guide to get you going – there are many different and preferred ways of achieving this. That’s just the way I work so get a good book or 2 and work your way through the manuals.

  • Advice/Help needed migrating/working with two macs

    I currently own a mid-2010 (I think) Macbook Pro and a couple of months ago I bought a Mac Mini. Unfortunately when I set up the Mac Mini I was short on time and my excitement/lack of patience got the better of me so I copied everything on the HDD from my MBP over to the Mac Mini and I have been using the same profile to login on both machines.
    This causes a few problems, particularly when I'm trying to connect the two machines via a network to share files. They can never connect, I'm thinking probably because they're using the same profile and get confused. I also haven't taken the time to properly install all the applications and so some do not work on the mini.
    Rather than trying to pull my hair out trying to solve the issues, I think I've reached a point where I think I need to either start over or get some advice on what to do.
    Ideally I'd like to use the Mini mainly for music apps (Garageband, possibly Logic Pro X in the future) and occassional internet and iTunes use. Since it has a bigger HDD, I'd like to store my music on the Mini.
    I would then use the MBP as my general internet and iTunes machine. I would however like to be able to use it for music production stuff (again GB and/or Logic) if I am travelling. I know that I will need to upgrade the OS and the RAM which I am happy to do.
    I would like to be able to have most of the same apps on both machines and also be able to easily transfer files, music etc. between the two.
    So in light of what I'd like to achieve, what would be my best course of action? Would I be best to start over and try to migrate from fresh or can I make something work with what I have?
    A further complication is that I have since used both machines so I will have some new stuff saved on both machines that won't be on the other. Is there any way to keep these new files if I start over?
    Would anyone be gracious enough to point me in the direction of an easy to follow guide to help me achieve what I want?
    Sorry for the long-winded post (and if I've posted in the wrong section) but I really think I lept into the migration without really knowing what I was doing and I could really use some advice to help me work out what to do!

    With your project open, press Shift + Q to open System Settings.
    Where are your render files being stored to? The path should be pointing to your external. I'm betting that it's set to your system drive instead.

  • Urgent help needed! How do I use Time Machine to restore my System disc?

    I need urgent help. First I discovered that my Library folder was empty. When I tried to restore the library to an earlier version via Timemachine it would not let me because it said the system was in use. Trying to start-up from another system on another internal drive and using various disc repairs resulted in the whole volume to disappear.
    Question is how do I get the earlier system from my Timemachine backup drive? I have another Mac where I can attach the TIme machine HD to. Can I restore it from there and then copy the files over to my corrupted disc? All my programs are on there as well, which would take me days to re-install and then there are the other bits, emails, photos etc. Can anyone help?

    Thanks for your sympathy Pondini and the encouragement. You just reminded me that I will lose a whole working day restoring !!! Do you happen to know where the emails are kept on the system and the address book? I better nick those as well as my other life sustaining bits before its too late. I don't trust anything any more.
    I don't know what you mean by "nick those." Time Machine will put everything back the way it was at the time of the backup (unless you'd excluded things).
    Do you mean you want to restore things from the period after the backup you selected?
    For Address Book or Apple Mail, start the application, then +Enter Time Machine,+ navigate to your latest backup, and you'll have a prompt to restore. For Mail, you can restore an entire mailbox. When you exit from TM, you'll see a new folder in your Mail sidebar with the restored items, so you can sift through them and move, delete, or leave them as you wish.
    Other items, you'll have to locate and restore via the Finder > Time Machine.

  • Help needed on how to set up Global Nav in Dreamweaver so that changes need to be made only once and will be reflected throughout the site.

    Hi,
    I've created a site with global navigation across the top (drop down menus) and some global buttons on the left side. Is there a way to code this type of global navigation in Dreamweaver so that people making changes to the site need only make them once (not on every page!) and have them reflected throughout the site? I'm using Dreamweaver MX to create the site.
    Thanks to this forum I know that Server Side Includes is a way to handle this but I'd like to use Dreamweaver if possible.
    Thanks!

    As Murray suggested, templates are the way to go  (though not really recommended for a fairly large site)  - here's a link to some help docs to help you get started.

  • Paragraphstyle advice help needed!

    Gurus, i will like to check how do i do the paragraph style for the above? I will like to have it bold for the name and unbold for the title, so that when I copy and paste the list of name and position in, it will auto format?
    I have tried looking for videos and tutorials, but am unable to find what i want. Is it possible to do that in the first place?
    Please help!
    Thanks!

    I'm assuming you want a running list of name/title/institution, so if that's wrong, some of what I say may not apply.
    What you have is three lines, presumably with a line break after the name and another line break after the title. Most sources you would be copying from would treat that as three paragraphs with paragraph breaks as the line breaks. You could do it as a single paragraph by using Forced Line Breaks (aka "soft" returns) after the name and title, with a paragraph break after the last line. If that is the case, you can set up a Nested Style where the name will use a character style through 1 Forced Line Break. If you paste text that has forced line breaks, it will all format correctly, but if all of the line breaks are regular paragraph breaks, it will all format with the character style. You would then need to change some of the paragraph breaks to forced line breaks, but you can do that with find/change.
    Another thing you could do if you have all paragraph breaks is to make three paragraph styles. The first will be the large bold, and the 2nd and 3rd will be the smaller Roman, but each the same. If you set the next style for 1 as 2, the next style for 2 as 3, and the next style for 3 as 1, you could select a running list and "apply 1 then next style" in one go.

  • Help! Please~ How to remove this spyware?

    God I just can't believe that my husband had installed a spy software on my phone!
    I am sure he is monitoring me, because I find some emails including my text messages, phone calls and screenshots of my BB, and smoothly I get the purchase address: http://www.remotespy.co/android-blackberry-spy.htm​l  I ask the support to help me to uninstall this software, they say they don't have the right to do so, but it is password protected and I don't know. So I write here to ask for your help, please! Any advice is OK. Thanks very much.

    The first thing you do is get your husband to admit he installed the software on your phone. Once he admits it, you threaten to go to the police because installing spy software on someone's phone without their permission is illegal.
    If he won't admit to it, or he does but will not uninstall it, you divorce him and do a security wipe of the phone and start over fresh (both with your phone and your life). 
    Keep us up to date.  
    (My suggestion might seem extreme. I would stop short of the divorce and just get him to admit he's responsible for the software on your phone.)

    Hi All,
    I have a requirement where in i am trying to check out what all CRM business objects are supported as web services as standard SAP functionality.
    Any pointers on this will be really helpful.
    Thanks,
    Udaya

    Hi Udaya,
    Did you check in the Enterprise Service Browser in NWDS?
    (Assuming CE7.1 infrastructure)
    I currently do not have access to confirm on CRM business object, but in the Services Browser some standard services were available.
    This information should also be available on SOAMANAGER or Service Repository (http://<server>:<port>/sr but I haven't checked it personally.
    Hope this is helpful.
    Regards,
    Vandana.

    And our program is running on Windows XP Professional.
    Our program has problem only with Init Function and we try to increase VM memory but our program is still failure.
    If we don't use java environment, but using Visual C++ 6.0, our program has no problem.
    However, we must process more complex.
    Thank for Reply.
    Regards.
