Authorizing multiple tracks on new machine

I'm setting up my wife's new Macbook and have migrated all her iTunes files form the old machine. The problem is she has several hundred tracks that now need to be authorized for the new machine. Is there some way to do these all at once or in a batch? It's a total pain to have to login to iTunes for each individual track.

I've done this. I've also deauthorized and authorized it again. I've also trashed the SC folder as suggested elsewhere. I am unable to play any of my purchased music as I'm thrown into a loop of being asked to authorize my music, then told authorization was successful, then being asked to authorize again.

I upgraded to version 7.3.1, msg box said i had authorized a new machine

After I finished upgrading to version 7.3.1, a message box appeared saying that I had authorized a new machine.
"Machine Authorization was Successful. You have authorized a total number of 4 machines out of your available 5."
Wait, why did upgrading my iTunes application on my same computer cause me to use up a machine authorization?
The previous number was 3 and now I've authorized a 4th machine simply for upgrading on the SAME computer? That's not fair.
Has anyone experienced this problem? What should I do about it. Apparently upgrading is a VERY bad idea because it will use up your machine authorizations for no reason!

If you've ended up with multiple authorisations on that PC, the following document may be of some help with getting the count correct on it again:

HT204074 I have a new machine with a previous installation of Itunes, linked to another Apple ID. Even I authorized the machine to my Apple ID, I can not connecto to the Apple Store. I tried removing Itunes and reinstalling it, but anything changed.

My previous machine has Itunes Installed, and I deauthorized the machine so I unlinked to my Apple ID, if this is correct.
Anyway, Dropbox is also not connecting....so I do not know how to make it woek. please help!

I have the same problem - it is maddening. I rely on this iPad for work so this is not just an annoyance! The above solutions of changing the appleid on the device or on the website do not work.
The old email address no longer exists - I haven't used it in a year probably and I no longer have the account. I logged into the appleid website and there is no trace of the old email address so there is nothing that can be deleted or changed there. On the iPad there is no trace of the old email address so nothing can be deleted there either. I have updated the iPad software and the same problem comes right back. Every 2 seconds I am asked to log in using the old non-existent email. The device is currently useless.
The only recent change to anything was the addition of an Apple TV device, which was set up using the correct login and password.
Does anyone have any ideas? The iPad has been backed up to the iCloud so presumably it now won't recognize the current iCloud account? So restoring may notbe an option?

How to re-associate tracks after migration to new machine?

A friend just got a new iMac, and is slowly trying to manually migrate her data over. I told her to just copy her iTunes folder from her backup into her Music folder on the new machine. Problem is, when she launches iTunes now, it can't find her music...
I'm guessing it's because she was pointing iTunes on her old Mac to her external drive where all the music was stored. So when she copies that directory to the Music folder on her new machine, it's still looking for the music on the external, right? How do we rectify this issue? Go ahead and point iTunes to the external drive on the new machine, then tell it (via Preferences) to use her Home Music folder as the music repository? Would it then allow her to copy the music over, and keep track of the moved files?
All very confusing, but I'm sure thousands of others have run into this issue before as well. What's the solution?
Thanks,
John

Trying to re-instal my email history the 'Mail Message Import' dialogue screen says: 'Mail needs to import your messages. This might take a few minutes. You won't be able to use Mail until the import is finished'.
The problem is: after importing 5,000 messages it stops and the 'Time remaining' only keeps adding up to many hours (17 hours). There are almost 80,000 email messages in my Time machine backup.
How to get this working? I am even prepared to give up my email history if i can only get my 'Mail' application working again.

Workflow Suggestions for Getting Multiple Audio Tracks From Drum Machine

My goal is to make separate audio tracks from the MIDI output coming out of a hardware Boss DR-880 drum machine. It has nice drum samples that I would like to use. So far, I know how to split the output by MIDI notes as to create multiple tracks. I end up with a about 10 tracks which are all MIDI of course. What I want to do is end up with all audio tracks. This way I can set the levels and EQ to taste for each part of the drum kit.
What's the most straightforward way to achieve this goal? I tried bouncing in place but that only works for plugins -it's grayed-out for the post note split generated MID tracks. I also found a post on this forum with what I think is similar question but it's closed and the question was not clearly answered for a newbie like me.
So far I can do this:
1. Record the MIDI output from the drum machine to an External MIDI track.
2. I then split the MIDI track by note to get multiple MIDI tracks.
3. To get audio I play each track individually e.g., just the kick drum and record the audio coming
out of the drum machine into an audio track.
This is a huge pain since I have on average about 10 MIDI tracks! There has to be a better way, right?
Thanks!

hi there:
ok now when u want to do such a thing which i totally understand what u are trying to do !so u have these options L
1- u should have a mixer to feed it with all your outputs from outboard gears like drum machines ,samplers etc...coz what u like in your dr-880 is the character of its sound and trust me if i tell you even if u tried to sample it and put it into any sampler software ,it will have the same sound but not the same character ! so thats why we still have samplers and out board gears and they will be still manufactured coz of that reason ...so for example i use my akai s6000 sampler which it has 16 outputs direct to my mixer so i can do what ever i want midi wise and audio wise with out any pain ,coz even if i have the same samples into my whatever sampler software i will never have the color and the character of the sound coming out from my akai ...and i use a drum machine which it has 10 outs as well and all is playing in sync in real trime with my audio tracks inside my logic ...this is the best solution !but i think u dont have that solution but u have to think about it if u bring a good console..!
2- you don't have to divide your midi from your machine you just do what ever its need to be done and when u finish record them one by one into your logic or 2 by 2 or what ever but in this case u cant control the midi of it anymore
but you gonna pain to do that every time coz sometime u dont have much time to think about u have to record the sound before any mix down!but it will work for you
3- make samples by your own of your drum machine and use esx24 to play them !but again you gonna lose the character of your sound but still having the same sounds u want ( if u know how do make a good samples).
i hope this tips gonna be useful for you .
cheers..!:)

Authorize track for new account

iTUnes asks me to authorize some of the tracks on my machine before I am allowed to play them. So it asks me for password for my OLD iTUnes account that does not exist any more. So I fill inn user name and password for my NEW and active account. Then iTunes says "This machine is already authorized", but when I then try to play the track the first demand for Authorization comes back (with the non existing account). I fill inn my new account, only for a new round in the carousel....HELP!

thanks. its understandable in a way, but i have lost 6 albums i love. such arrangements are very good arguments for file-sharing.
Which is why I don't purchase anything from iTunes. I buy CDs or use other online services which do not have that silly authorization and protection built into the files or require me to update my iTunes just to download the "plus" tracks.
Unfortunately I don't know what people usually do in situations like yours since I don't use the iTunes store other than to look things up. I don't buy from them.

How do I extract multiple tracks from a CD into a single file in Audition CS6?

I use Audition to edit my Pastor's messages. The message CD is made with five minute tracks. I want to extract the tracks from the CD into a single file for editing and altering the track lengths. I have done this before in Audition CS6, but I haven't been able to find instructions for it. I only found a note stating this is available in AuditionCC.

I have discovered an answer to my problem. The way to bring multiple tracks into Audition CS6 from a CD is to use the FILE / OPEN APPEND / TO NEW command. This brings the separate tracks into a single file in Audition CD6. Thanks to everyone who commented.

Is there any way to change user operations on multiple tracks at once?

I have a complex project (99 tracks, dozens of menus and scripts). I need to make one version of this DVD for the end client (teenagers at health clinics) who will be forced to view it in a specified way, and another version for educators (staff at the clinics) who will be allowed to fast-forward and have access to a menu from which they can jump to different points in the DVD.
I have different menus to serve as "first play" for these different versions so that I can easily switch between versions when burning disc images, and I have set up GPRMs to make navigation different for the two versions automatically. My problem now is that I want to disable forward scan, next program, root menu, and title menu for the client version. As far as I can tell, I have to do that independently for every single track and menu. Bleah. This is especially annoying since the DVD is still in development, so I am continuing to change small things and will need to keep both versions up to date as I do.
Is there any way to select multiple tracks/menus and change user operations on all of them? Or any other work-around or script that could do it? I thought this would be a perfect task for the automator, but I'm not very familiar with that application and don't know how (or if it's possible) to create new actions other than the ones that are available.
Any ideas?
thanks!
Julie

Thanks. But the disc inspector only appears to let me change things like where the title menu button takes you, not detailed user operations. I have pretty much given up on this being anything other than a giant hassle, but if anybody knows whether a script could do this, I would be eternally grateful.

Fast/most efficient way to cut out of multiple tracks at the same time

I try to select by dragging around but it lights up the entire length of each tract- I can use the scissors to manually cut the tracks but there has to be a better way...any ideas?
Thanks, Don

I don't know if this is most efficient but here's my "home grown" way:
I place the section locator bars located at the top in the area I want to cut. You can fine tune this by zooming in close. I then right click on the track and use the split at locator function. I then can cut, drag or copy just that new, separate area. If you want to cut multiple tracks you can leave the locators where they are and repeat on all the tracks you want to split. I haven't tried selecting multiple tracks, and I'm not at my computer to try it right now.
Maybe there's a quicker way but that has worked for me!

How to install Premiere CC (not 2014) on a new machine?

Just added a new machine to the studio, and am looking for a way to install Premiere Pro CC 7.2.x.
The rest of the studio still hasn't upgraded to 2014 (and, no offence Adobe, but your track record means there's a few good months of forum-watching standing between me and a site-wide upgrade to a .0 product from you )
This machine has a new license, but I've also tried swapping licenses with another suite so that this new computer is using a CC account from the 7.x era.
I understand I'm supposed to be able to click on "More Information" in the Creative Cloud app, but that's not an option for me. Only "View Tutorials". Note that only the Premiere Pro CC 2014, and not Premiere Pro CC, appears in my Creative Cloud app, presumably because of the fresh install.
Anyone know the proper workflow here or have a direct link?

Is new HDD recognized in BIOS. Before you start recovery installation set BIOS to default settings.

Moving multiple tracks & group hiding...

There are a lot of reviews on Logic 9, all of which focus on Flex time, but there are some simple questions that I would like to ask that I can't seem to get out of any review, perhaps someone here knows. Hardly any of the stores here have Logic 9 installed so I can't test...
1) Is it possible to move multiple tracks in arrange at the same time? I.e. shift select or lasso select 2 or more tracks and move them in arrange?
2) On the new group tracks dialog (with the list of all groups, etc.) I noticed that you can "Hide" groups. However, is there some keypress + click option that allows you to "Show" a group that you've selected? So an example would be, every track is shown, and I just want to "Show" my drum group, would I have to hide all, then find the drum group and uncheck it?
3) Is there any way to show both the L&R waveforms on a stereo audio file? Or are we still limited to the one waveform? Maybe I just don't know how to show this, it might be something simple.
4) Is there a "Jump to grid" sort of option like in cubase or PT? Basically, if you are in arrange, and you click in the bars beats area, can the current position jump to the closest grid location? I don't know how else to explain this, hopefully someone here knows what I mean.
5) The new click zones looks like what the doctor ordered, but is there a click zone at the top of the waveform to control the region volume ala Cubase/Nuendo/PH Record? I know that you can do this on the volume automation lane, or insert something to control gain pre inserts and automate that, but I just want to know if the click zones included that.

nobody has an answer to these?

Moving boot camp to new machine with Parallels 10 or WinClone?

i seem to have a ton of document here but have not been able to figure a way out of my dilemma.
i have a 2006 mac pro that had two boot camp installs with one of windows 7 and one of XP. each of these are still intact on my hard drives in this computer. however, i can not see this computer on my display as there appears to be some issue with the converter that i am using for my cinema display mini display port (to get it to DVI display port on the 2006) so i cannot really DO anything with these installations other than see them when i put the disk in my new 2012.
Parallels 10 appears to have a new "boot camp" mode and i am trying to figure out if there is a way to get the boot camp installs into my 2012 as "virtual boot camp" installations. i just put one of the 2006 disks into the 2012 machine and tried this and Parallels seems to have accepted this but i am not sure if i somehow need to leave the physical boot camp install in this bay 4 or if i can just pull the disk and now i have a "virtual boot camp" install of windows 7.
ALSO, i DO have WinClone backups of both of these boot camp installations on the new machine but i believe i am supposed to run CHKDSK and Sysprep on the actual boot camp installs before trying to migrate them over to the new machine and since i cannot see anything in the old machine i can't try this. actually, i did try it back when i could see the 2006 but there was some error with the Sysprep and the thread proposing solutions was like 26 pages long.
anyway, anyone done this and have any suggestions?
THANKS

A. when you say you can boot from corresponding installation media - you are talking about my Windows 7 and Windows XP install disks?
When you installed XP or W7, you would have used either an Install DVD or a USB, or both. This is what you would need. You can recreate the USB using Bootcamp Assistant, if necessary. The only caveat would be if you subsequently upgraded to later Service Packs, and the installer was built earlier than that.
B. when you say "if your windows is already bootable" you are saying that i could put the disk in the new machine, set preferences to BOOT from the Boot Camp installation on the other disk and run the Safe Mode on this boot camp install and then manually remove drivers? also presumably i can compare the 2006 machine to the 2012 machine and see which drivers i don't have to remove? also, i am guessing here that i can try either of these (boot from media or boot into safe mode in the boot camp) despite the fact that yosemite does not support XP boot camp?
It is possible that Windows may not boot at all, due to hardware changes and driver differences. Safe Mode is a minimal driver load boot. It should be bootable. If you end with a completely un-bootable system after you move disks, then Windows Startup Repair may be necessary first. You may also need to run chkdsk. I would also recommend uninstalling any third-party NTFS software. Once Windows is fully installed, there is no interaction with Yosemite, and a minimal interaction with firmware and Apple Bootmanager which recognizes a NTFS system.
C. can you help me with the terminology here? you ask if any of my "W7/WXP" disks have a version of OS X co-resident". at one point i had what i understood to be JUST an XP install on my 2006 machine on a hard drive which i still have. i don't know if this was installed "under" some OS but as far as i know i /just/ had a boot camp installation of XP on this disk. is this possible? if so, what do i call it? ALSO, i /now/ have basically two disks with one containing a PARTITION of Snow Leopord or Mountain Lion and a PARTITION of Windows XP Boot Camp. then the /second/ disk contains a CLONE of the OS X install and a PARTITION of Windows 7 Boot Camp. Do you know what i call these?! are either of them what you consider "co-resident"? i guess i don't exactly understand the types of boot camps i can have (ignoring virtual machines).
If the disk was formatted as an MBR disk and was fully dedicated to Windows, it will not have OS X. In some cases, a single physical disk can be partitioned to host both OSes. If the OS X part was on a separate physical disk, this is what is usually is done on a MacPro with multiple disks.
D. can i /PLEASE/ ask you to help me understand the types of virtual machines i can create on the 2012 with Parallels 10? right now i just hooked up a Windows 7 virtual machine from Parallels 7. so this is a "true virtual machine". but i can somehow also now create a "boot camp virtual machine" where i can EITHER boot into the boot camp or into the virtual machine? i mean, i guess what we are discussing is a way to CLEAN the Windows 7 BOOT CAMP INSTALLATION on my 2006 by putting the hard drive into the 2012 and to then - well i guess i then create a WinClone of the Boot Camp install and i run the WinClone MIGRATION procedure to get this boot camp on the 2012? /then/ i run parallels and hook up this Boot Camp install in the new machine?
Usually, BC installations can be imported as virtual machines. You can also install a VM using a virtual disk, which, to OS X, appears like a set of system files. You can as a test import the 2006 disk clone as a VM and test. The VM engines impose their own BIOS engine and can have their own drivers in such a VM. For example, they will emulate SCSI to access the underlying virtual or physical disk. They may also provide their own file system drivers. For example, VMware Fusion can provide HGFS to share files between OS X and Windows. Your approach should work, but I have never tested Winclone with the VM layer in the middle. You should ask Wincloen support if they support VM as an in-between layer or not. I do not think so.
E. can you remind me why i can't get a XP Boot Camp on the 2012 machine? was this due to the 2012 mac pro or was it yosemite or both i guess? i mean, for XP i am presumably going to run the TRANSFER procedure on the XP install /after/ putting the hard drive with XP boot camp from the 2006 into my 2012 and then i am going to run this VIRTUAL MACHINE FROM BOOT CAMP operation (link below)? if so, we are saying i can run this from the 2012 and then can i remove the XP Boot Camp drive from the 2012 and still have the virtual machine i guess? in this case i SHOULD ALSO run the XP through the procedure you explain? so in this case i will only have a virtualized XP Boot Camp install and with Windows 7 i will have both the BOOT CAMP install (which i presumably migrated to my OS X hard drive!) and i will be able to virtually boot to this boot camp install using Parallels 10?
Apple deprecated XP support as they moved to BC version 5.x. A new XP installation is not possible, but an existing XP installation will continue to work across OS X version upgrades. This is a 'physical' machine from 2006 MP. Once you install BC drivers on the XP installation to work with 2012, you will need to reverse the migration procedure (uninstall drivers for 2012MP, install 2006 MP drivers). It is a very unusual direction to want to go back to 2006 MP, but it is still a method if the 2012 MP hardware failed, and you wanted to go back to a working 2006 MP. You should check if Parallels 10 supports XP.
F. i guess if i want to make sure to retain a true boot camp install of the Windows XP install i have to repair the 2006 machine is that right?
http://kb.parallels.com/en/113658
Not necessarily. If you can migrate (simulating a SysPrep) to the 2012 MP machine, you do not need to resurrect the 2006 MP.

Synchronization of multiple tracks

I have been working with Java Sound for around a month now and there is a glaring shortcoming: no synchronization for multiple tracks.
I am writing a multitrack recorder in which a recorded track can be played while the user is recording a new track. Both tracks can then be played simultaneously with the correct timing that was heard during the recording phase.
Is there a way to do this with JMF?

hacksmurf wrote:
Is there a way to do this with JMF?Ummmmm, theoretically. You can syncronize two or more controllers with JMF, and you can play multiple "tracks" of data simultaniously...but I can't guarentee that, in the end, you won't run into the same problems with JMF that you're having with JavaSound. There's a fundamental problem that, in order to play and record, you're using multiple threads and you have inherant delays between what the user hears and what the computer records.

No Transitions on Multiple Tracks

I have been a Sony Vegas user for 2 years now and I just got FCPX. When I try to add a video transition to video it snaps to the audio acting like there's no video. It's extremely frustrating! I have tried re-installing it and creating a new user account. I was on the phone with 3 apple support people today. The best result I got was I had to attach the audio to the video, combine the tracks, split it where the next clip starts, and then add the transition. I'm having a hard time believing a professional editing system can't add transitions on multiple tracks, but a $90 editing system on a PC can.
If you have any suggestion please say them. Thank you!

If you're talking about adding transitions to clips above the main storyline, these are connected clips (not tracks) you need to select the relevant clips, right-click the selection and make those clips into a storyline (Cmd + G). You can then add your transitions.

Multiple Thumb Slider with Multiple Track Colors

Hi All,
Does any one implemented a Multiple Thumb Slider component with Multiple Track Colors. Please find the screen shot of the component below which I am talking about.
Any ideas or any link or sample source of code given would be highly appreciated.
If I drag any thumb the colored section between any two thumbs should increase or decrease.
Thanks,
Bhasker

Hi,
There is a sort of workaround I made myself. Basically you set up your slider into a canvas container and add new boxes exactly at the position between your thumb buttons, in order to imitate your 'tracks'. Look the image below and notice that the black tracks are in fact VBoxes. For different colors, make each VBox different backgroundColor style.

            var track : VBox = tracks[i] as VBox;
            track.setStyle('left', slider.getThumbAt(j++).xPosition + 3);
            track.setStyle('right', slider.width - slider.getThumbAt(j++).xPosition + 3);
      public function addTrackHandler(event : Event) : void {
         var track : VBox = new VBox();
         track.setStyle('backgroundColor', '#000000');
         track.width = 0;
         track.height = 2;
         track.setStyle('bottom', '7');
         tracks.push(track);
         canvas.addChild(track);
         slider.values = slider.values.concat(0, 0);
