Authorizing and Backing Up

This morning when I started iTunes and clicked a song to play on my laptop it asked for my ID and password to authorize iTunes on the computer. I gave the information, but it is the same computer I've had for a few years now.
Why did iTunes suddenly ask for me to authorize this computer?
Yesterday I backed up iTunes to a new external hard drive (which I disconnected after backing up.) I backed up by copying my music folder using copy and paste. Could this have been the cause of the need to reauthorize?
If so, did I make a mistake in reauthorizing? Is there a better way to back up so that I don't use my authorizations up too quickly?
Thanks.

Anyone?

    If you are running Tiger, you don't have time machine. 
    You need to get something like SuperDuper! or Carbon Copy Cloner (sorry, I don't have a handy link for CCC but you can Google it to get their site) to make a clone of your drive on the external and then do incremental backups.  The free versions do a lot and you can upgrade to the full-service versions for small change if you need more.  The one time I used SuperDuper! for cloning a volume it worked just fine. 
    (My backup application is the last PPC capable version of Retrospect, which does a credible job, or has over the past ten-twelve years.)

  • A Choir Query: from FinalePM to LogicXP (and back)

    The Challenge:
    A Mac-based filmmaker/video editor anxiously seeks advice from experienced users of Finale and Logic Express who know the inner mysteries of MIDI (and may also be proficient with GarageBand).
    In a nutshell, I'm struggling to understand the simplest way (if there is such a thing) to add some specific non-orchestral sounds to my Finale PrintMusic Instrument List, to beef up the playback of some original compositions.
    And failing that, the simplest way to use some of the specific SmartMusic SoundFont samples included with FinalePM in a GarageBand or a LogicExpress project.
    The Rest Is Background and Elaboration:
    I've spent the past few weeks using Finale's PrintMusic2006 to develop some musical underscores for a short film I'm now editing (using FinalCutPro 5). The simple arrangements I've created using PrintMusic's built-in SoftSynth player and the SoundFont instruments package so far work pretty well as demos to accompany the printed notation, and that was their original intention. But parts of them actually sound not too bad, and are close to being useable for the film itself. So now I'd like to see if I can take the playback aspect even further, and use PrintMusic (either on its own or in combination with other software) to generate a more polished final output.
    So far though, my experience with the other music software available to me has been frustrating:
    - GarageBand3 will import a MIDI file exported from PrintMusic, but only at a single tempo. This one-tempo-only-per-project limitation is a major roadblock for me, because while this music is hardly sophisticated, it does have tempo variations, as well as key and time signature changes.
    - SoundtrackPro, supposedly a higher-end app than GarageBand, won't even import a standard MIDI file. (What's up with that, anyway? I still haven't quite figured out where STP lies on the GarageBand-LogicExpress-LogicPro spectrum.)
    - and LogicExpress (which I don't yet own but am testing a trial version of) - aside from being a whole new learning curve I really don't have time to get into right now - doesn't even have basic versions of the software instruments I'm trying to find better quality versions of, such as Harpsichord, Bagpipe (yes, the music involves a very strange mix), and most of all, choral/choir effects (more human-sounding Oohs, Ahhs, Doos, and Mmms, both male and female).
    The Arrangements:
    The instruments I've used in PrintMusic for playback of the different versions of the film's music are:
    - Church Organ,
    - Choir Aahs
    - Voice Oohs,
    - Bagpipe,
    - Harpsichord,
    - Tubular Bells,
    - Woodblock,
    - Overdriven Guitar,
    - and a couple of bg synth effects.
    The organ, harpsichord, guitar, bell and woodblock all sound not too bad in context. The Bagpipe's a bit wimpy, but both it and the Harpsichord are at least better than the ones the Apple apps offer - which is to say, none! And I was especially disappointed to see that even with the addition of hundreds of dollars worth of JamPacks those same apps still don't appear to offer any human voice/choral Software Instrument sounds whatsoever.
    I do see such sounds available for purchase at sites such as these:
    http://www.soundsonline.com/sophtml/details.phtml?sku=PS13
    and
    http://www.bestservice.de/detail.asp/en/vocalchoir/extended_classicalchoir/813442a66p249p64p49
    (with of course much higher-end and higher-priced options also available).
    But the question I'm hoping someone out there can help me with is:
    - Can PrintMusic make use of these kinds of samples (either these specific ones, or any other kinds in any other formats -- including the Software Instruments already included in Logic and/or GarageBand)?
    - And are there sites from which specific software instruments can be purchased and downloaded a la carte (the same way you can easily preview and then download individual typeface fonts from any number of freeware, shareware, and commercial sites)?
    Because even though it's very much a notation program first and an audio-file creation program second, Finale's simple PrintMusic is right now much closer to having the sounds I want for this particular project than the much costlier LogicExpress. But Is there in fact any way to selectively add to the number and variety of Instruments which can be accessed in PrintMusic's Instrument List? And can it utilize additional software instruments such as the choral sounds on Peter Siedlaczek`s "Extended Classical Choir" noted above?
    And if (as I just did) I download an ".sf2" formatted sample of a bagpipe, how do I get a Finale (or a LogicExpress for that matter) to actually see the darn thing and make it accessible -- is it as simple as just placing the file in the correct folder? I've scoured the manuals, and I still don't know.
    (I see on the MakeMusic site how for the full Finale "exciting libraries of additional instruments are available from Garritan and Native Instruments", which makes me think that instruments in the correct format can indeed be added to a Finale Instrument List -- although things like the Garritan Personal Orchestra package wouldn't help me right now, since the few specific sounds I'm seeking are choral and/or non-orchestral.)
    So I'm feeling more than a little lost right now in what seems like a minefield of different and often incompatible synthesizers, sequencers, samplers and samples out there. I'm really hoping someone can at least begin to steer me in the right direction on this question.
    Very much looking forward to hearing from you.
    Thanks!

    Thanks for the reply, Justin. (Sorry about the slow response -- I'm a bit swept up with March Break kid stuff.)
    Frankly, hiring a tech to help you through the
    process is perhaps the best option. A few hours is
    all it would take.
    Attempts to go in that direction have so far met with limited success, but I'll keep beating the bushes. (Having some trouble connecting with someone with the right combination of experience in the right combination of apps -- Finale, LogicExpress, different samples in different formats, etc.)
    I come from Logic Pro so there may
    be a few differences (one of the is the EXS24 is
    EXSP24-every detail concerning limitations I do not
    know).
    See what I mean!
    Otherwise, I can make a few suggestions to get
    you started. If you do this often and really want to
    focus on sound quality you'll want a sound library
    which is forward compatible. You can then compose in
    Finale and move the sequence over to Logic and work
    on the sound. If you want to work with soundfonts
    DLSMusic device will load them up.
    I was getting the impression I'd need a 3rd party utility like SoundFont Synth (http://andydrabble.users.btopenworld.com/soundfontsynth/moreinfo.html) that can use sound font files in GarageBand, Logic, etc. Are you saying that LogicXP can access ".sf2" files, as well as the MakeMusic GM Instruments included with Finale's PrintMusic2006, directly -- without the help of intermediaries like SoundFont Synth? If true, that would be great for me -- but I'm finding the LogicXP documentation more than a little inscrutable so far, and can't find the section that tells me in a nice step-by-step way how to do that.
    Drabble's SoundFont Synth does come with exactly that kind of step-by-step guide for using the program with GarageBand, which I'll copy/paste here for anyone interested:
    ==============
    SoundFont Synth is an Audio Unit plug-in designed to make the synthesis of
    natural instruments using Sound Fonts, available to GarageBand or any other Audio Unit compatible host.
    Main Features
    1. Uses Apple's excellent DLS synthesizer engine to produce high quality sounds.
    2. Uses industry standard SoundFont files (.sf2) thousands of which are widely available for free download from the Internet.
    3. Passes Apple's Audio Unit Validation tests.
    4. Can use Pitch Bend wheel to control low pass, high pass, band pass and notch filters.
    5. Compatible with GarageBand 1, 2, and 3..
    Getting Started (GarageBand)
    Start up GarageBand and create a 'Software Instrument' track within your
    GarageBand project.
    Select the 'Track/Show Track Info' menu item to display the track info window.
    Select 'SoundFont Synth' from the 'Generator' pull down menu.
    Using the button to the right of the Generator pull down, open up the
    Audio Unit editor.
    The Sound Font field will default to 'QuickTime Music Synthesizer'. If you have
    a Sound Font available on your computer then select it using the 'Choose' button.
    Select an Instrument from the 'Instrument' pull down menu.
    Using an external keyboard or the GarageBand keyboard, play a few notes
    in the C3-C4 range to hear the notes play.
    =============
    And following those excellent instructions I was indeed able to start using the MakeMusic GM Instruments in GB3. But when I wrote the author and asked if he had a version of those instructions written in "LogicExpress-ese", this was his reply:
    John,
    I wish I could be of help but I have no knowledge of Logic Express or music for that matter.
    I am basically a Computer Designer and Programmer.
    To make it work with Logic, you need to follow the same procedure, which I assume is documented, as for any "Music Device" AudioUnit.
    Sorry I can't be of more help.
    Andy.
    So, since LogicPro is way out of my price (& complexity) range for this particular project, I'm back to wondering both how and if Express -- either on its own, or in combination with something like SoundFont Synth, will let me incorporate the following elements:
    1) some better quality (but still affordable) human voice/choir sounds, such as the ones offered at:
    http://www.soundsonline.com/sophtml/details.phtml?sku=PS13,
    OR http://www.bestservice.de/detail.asp/en/vocalchoir/extended_classicalchoir/813442a66p249p64p49
    2) some ".sf2" files from sources such as www.sf2midi.com,
    3) some of the original MakeMusic GM Instrument sounds included with Finale's PrintMusic2006
    4) As well as possibly some of the software instruments included with Logic/GarageBand and maybe some of the JamPacks.
    Now assuming I'm using LogicExpress, that last one's a no-brainer of course. But I'm still fuzzy on the workflow involving the first three, and they're the ones I really need for this specific project (and that's all this venture into music production is about for now -- I need to get back to what I should be doing, which is the video editing).
    So given that this is not something I'm gong to be doing all that often in the future, should I be considering avoiding Logic altogether, and using what some people tell me are much more beginner-user-friendly apps like Tracktion2 (http://www.mackie.com/products/tracktion/tracktion.html), or MetroSE (http://www.sagantech.biz/products/metro6se.htm)?
    Would love to hear from anyone who's used either of the above, especially in terms of accessing the kinds of additional software instruments I listed earlier.
    [...] One of the problems is that
    Logic has no GM soundset, so getting an AU which you
    use with both apps is important. EXS24 will load the
    soundfonts if they are in the correct folder-you can
    leave them or conert them to EXS24 format. So just
    mix and layer until things sound good. You can use
    Logic for all of this but you sound like you're more
    comfortable in Finale. Let me know what you think so
    far...
    Am certainly comforatble with the idea of composing in Finale, then moving over into something which easily lets me add the specific instruments I want to "upgrade", while still keeping some of the MakeMusic GM sounds from Finale's Instrument List.
    But am still unsure about which apps (or combination thereof) I should be commiting to and start mastering the basics of -- something with the right combination of affordability and simplicity to get this specific job done (yet not TOO simple, as in GarageBand's frustrating inability to vary tempos).
    And I'm also just still trying to get my brain around Audio Objects vs. Audio Units, and samplers vs. sequencers, and EXS24 vs. EXSP24, and channels vs. tracks, and on and on. Any recommendations of sites with basic "MIDI and the Mac - 101" plain-English primers would also be gratefully accepted!
    Thanks,

    Am getting daily messages from Safari warning me that I am on a website with an unknow certifying authority and my personal information may be at risk.
    Happens when in Cox webmail and when I am visitying a legitimate site, and I have typed in address correctly such as Citibank rewards site.
    Have 3 choices, "Show Certficate" "Cancel" or "Continue". Screen is frozen and cannot exit Safari without acknowledging the message or clicking escape. I had been clicking continue, but after a month or more of many such messages decided to ask Cox.  They say it is a virus.  Was I careless in clicking continue?  What do many messages like this mean?  they can't all be unknown certifying authorities can they?

    Take each of the following steps that you haven't already tried. Stop when the problem is resolved.
    1. Are the current date (including the year) and time shown on your system clock? If not, correct them and test.
    2. Check that the following files exist:
    /System/Library/Keychains/SystemCACertificates.keychain
    /System/Library/Keychains/SystemRootCertificates.keychain
    If they don't, restore them from a backup or reinstall OS X after backing up all data.
    3. Disable any third-party firewall, "security" software, or network filter. Test.
    4. In some versions of OS X, Parental Controls has a bug that prevents loading of secure websites. Turn it off.
    5. The process by which OS X checks the validity of root SSL certificates doesn't work behind the authenticating SOCKS proxies used on some enterprise networks. If applicable, contact your network administrator. The proxy server may need to have its settings changed.
    6. Launch the Activity Monitor application in any of the following ways:
    ☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
    ☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
    ☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Activity Monitor in the icon grid.
    Select All Processes from the menu in the toolbar of the Activity Monitor window, if not already selected. Enter "ocspd" (without the quotes) in the "Filter" text field. Is a process with that name listed?
    If not, back up all data, then select
    Go ▹ Go to Folder
    from the Finder menu bar. Into the text box that opens, copy the following line of text:
    /var/db/crls
    From the folder that opens, move these two files to the Trash:
    crlcache.db
    ocspcache.db
    You’ll be prompted for your administrator password. Reboot, empty the Trash, and test.

  • Books transferred from Itunes to Ibooks loses author and category information.

    How can I get author and category information for pdfs to transfer from itunes into the ibooks app on Mavericks?  I just transferred my book collection from itunes to the ibooks app and have lost all the author and category information that I entered on all my pdfs.  Do I now have to re establish this info in ibooks app?  Ibooks doesn't appear to allow for creation of new categories or editing of author's name when it assigned unknown to all my pdfs.  My book library appears to have been seriously downgraded by this "upgraded" os.

    totally agree with you. Exactly the same here.
    you can't re-establish this info in iBooks because it doesn't allow you to do it. No editing and organising at all (except from moving into a section of your choice).
    In addition to no editing/changing, no backup/restore, no books/pdf location settings (all placed in user-library), etc. ... simply a complete disaster.
    For me a killer-criteria to use OSX Mavericks! That forces me to move back to OS X mountain lion!

    There seems to be an occasional issue with downloads from the store. They prompt for authorization when they are in fact corrupt/incomplete in some fashion. Try deleting the problem tracks (do not hide from iTunes in the cloud), close iTunes and reopen, go to iTunes Store > Qucklinks > Purchased > Music > Not on this computer. Select a few tracks to download then click the icon that appears at the top-right of the iTunes window.. Untick the box that reads Allow simultaneous downloads. Proceed with the rest of your eligible purchases.

  • TouchID for App Store purchases doesn't work after turning phone off and back on?

    TouchID for unlocking my iPhone 5s works 99.9% of the time.  It's fantastic.  However, using it to authorize App Store purchases, NOT in-app purchases, is less fantastic.  In my case, it seems like every time I turn my phone off and back on, the phone forgets it's can use TouchID to authorize app purchases.  I have to go into Settings -> General -> Passcode & Fingerprint -> (enter my passcode) -> Fingerprints -> iTunes & App Store, and turn that off.  Then I have to turn it back on and enter my Apple ID password.  Not exactly a quick procedure.  The good news is that once I turn it back on, it works like it's supposed to until I turn my phone off and back on again.  If it can remember to use TouchID for unlocking the phone, why can't it remember to use TouchID for authorizing App Store stuff?  Am I missing something?
    Anyone else experiencing the same thing and/or have a solution?  Thanks!

    Is there a way to set ebooks up in iTunes so when they go in ibooks they stay in the order of the author and series?

    Hello Serenity99.   In my rather limited experience with this, I have had much success with just copying and pasting the project from within FCP X.  All of the properties (retiming, themes, effects, music, sound effects etc.) copy over exactly between the two, which is great.  The only thing is that while the transitions and retiming copy over in the one go, you may have to go back and copy and paste any titles seperately as they are placed above the clips (well in my case they have been) but they will copy over nicely and as previously configured.  I have not found this to be a big hassle at all.  I was releaved to find that the process was as easy as it was.  Mind you, I have not has as hiccup free a time with copy and pasting from other applications like iMovie to FCP X.  Although I can select and copy the projects, all the other editing and rejiging has been jumbled and required much reworking.  But if you stick to within FCP X it is easy as pie and works wonderfully.

    I took my ipad to the local Apple Store today and was told by the genius that it was a hardware issue, and because the warranty had expired, there was nothing the Store could do.  He suggested that I try calling AppleCare.  Then I asked to speak with a manager.  He apologized again and said there was just nothing the Store could do.  I was close to leaving, when I asked a second time if it would be possible to see a Manager. 
    After asking a second time, he called a manager.  After explaining my issue to her, she immediately authorized him to give me a new iPad !   Anyone with this problem should definitely go to the store and be polite but adamant.  You should get a new iPad.

  • How do I use edge commons composition loader to load multiple compositions with a next and back button?

    I am working on an interactive book and have set up each page as a separate composition in edge.
    I am using  the edge commons JS library to load multiple compositions into a main composition.
    You can see how this works here: Edge Commons - Extension Library for Edge Animate and Edge Reflow | EdgeDocks.com
    The way the edge commons tutorial is set up requires a button for each composition i want to load. I am interested in loading multiple compositions with a "next" and "back" button, and a "swipe left, "swipe right" gesture on the content symbol that each composition is loaded into. I also need the swipe features on the content symbol not to interfere with the interactive elements on the loaded composition.
    Please suggest a solution that will work without adding additional scripts beyond edge commons and jquery.

    Sort of. I'm using this code inside an action for a button symbol. But it doesn't work perfectly. Trying to debug it.
    Let me know if you have any luck.

  • Is there a major flaw with Iphoto in regards to organizing and backing up?

    Is there a major flaw with Iphoto in regards to organizing and backing up? And how should I proceed??
    Here is my story. I have moved roughly 15,000 photos from 7 computers (4 PCs and 3 Macs - basically everyone's computer in the family) onto one external hard drive. The photos were taken by many different digital cameras, are sparsely labeled, and have the most random names and folders. There are a LOT of duplicates. MY MISSION - label and back them up.
    The way I normally deal with photos/DATA is this: I plug my camera into my Mac and immediately think about organizing and backing them up. With "Preview" I look at photos (and decide which one I like), create a folder called "where-ever I took these photos" and drag them into that folder. The problem with Iphoto is that you have no ability to control folders, unlike many other applications.
    For example, in Itunes you can rename an artist, or even an album, and it will automatically appear in an updated folder. If you alter a photo in Photoshop, it makes you save it is a new file. In Iphoto you cannot make the same "root level" changes without making duplicates. From what I understand, you can place photos into an Album and then export that album (which makes duplicates). Iphoto will rename each duplicate file and then place it in the correct folder. The problem here is I have no idea where the original is to delete it.
    Basically I want to create folders called "Trip to Italy 2003" or "Rachel's Wedding" and place all the photos associated with that event in those folders. The problem I run into is that I have a bunch of duplicates. I have heard of a program called Duplicate Annihilator which has gotten favorable reviews. If I import them into Iphoto all the photos are placed in random named folders. I say random because some of the photos were taken on cameras that didn't have the date set correctly. Hence some of my photos will appear in a labyrinth of folders called "Modified / 2001 / Roll 17 / DCM482 / Image25874654.jpg"
    I am totally willing to wipe my Iphoto library clean and start again if there is a way to organize the photos as described above. Eventually I will take these folders and save them on a data DVD.
    Thanks to anyone who can help.
    Gary

    You do not need to delve into the folders within the iPhoto Library via the finder to access any photo. That is all done within iPhoto itself. If you need a photo for use outside of iPhoto read Terence Devlin's treatise on file access. iPhoto is a DAM application - Digital Asset Management, not a folder manager. There's a big difference. You can use keywords, album and smart albums to organize your photos.
    If you still have the original files you might consider what I do. I rename each file with the date it was taken using the international date format: YYYY-MM-DD-001.jpg. You can download the demo version ofMedia Expression and automatically rename each folder of photos with the EXIF date and a sequential number. This makes chronological searching and sorting much easier both in iPhoto and the Finder.
    If you want to not only manage the photos but the folders then Expression Media will let you do both. It will let you rename files after being imported into a catalog, move them between folders, add ITPC metadata to the files, create virtual albums called Supplemental categories, and much, much more. I use it as my primary DAM and iPhoto for special projects like books, slideshows, calendars, etc.

  • The screen on my ipod touch is stuck zoomed in. I turned it off and back and its still stuck zoomed in. I also tried to reset it and that didn't work either. Please help.

    The screen on my ipod touch is stuck zoomed in. I don't know how it happened I just looked down and it was like that. I have turned it off and back and even reset it but it still keeps zooming back in each time I turn it on. I can't unlock it because I can't see the numbers and it won't let me move around the screen. Please help.

    This is asked and answered often.  The foru search bar is on the right side of this page.
    It is also covered in the manual - zoom feature:
