Automatic copy music files in music folder to the data disk storage

I got the shuffle as a Christmas present last year. It was working fine until today. Once I plugged to shuffle onto my laptop, it automatically copy all the music files in my music folder (my hardisk) to my shuffle. It copies them to my data disk storage, as if I want to back up them or transfer them to another computer. I don't know where to change the setting, as it used to work fine and I didn't change anything since then.
Anyone has any idea how to fix this? Basically now I can't use my shuffle as the memory stick.

Yes it is possible, and in fact quite easy.
Insert the flash drive in your computer and open it so it looks like a window. Over in iTunes, highlight the tracks you want (or CTRL+A to get a whole playlist) and drag to the open flash drive window.
If you normally run iTunes in full-scree mode, make it smaller so that you can do the drag.

How to extract jar files into a folder in the local disk and then import?

hai forum,
will any one tell me how should i extract jar files into a location in my project folder and then how to import the class files for further usage?
Thank you .

I will be graeateful if u could explain this a bit.
Do you want to say that i should craete instance of
ZipEntry like this
InputStream is =
jarFile.getInputStream(entry);
File inputFile = new
File("C:\\myclasses.data");
FileInputStream fis=
new FileInputStream(inputFile);No! You need to write the entry using FileOutputStream copying all the bytes of the ZipEntry InputStream to the FileOutputStream.
>
What about adding into a directory?Do i have to
create on dynamically?Yes! You can use File.mkdirs(). For example
File ofile = new File("your directory where you will place the zip entries" + zipEntry.getName());
ofile.getParentFile().mkdirs();

How can I copy my music files to my iPAD. The CDs are currently stored in folders on my PC. Note: Synching via iCLOUD won't work because I have VISTA OS and I need at least Windows 7 or 8.

Hi ladextr,
Thanks for using Apple Support Communities. To sync your music to your iPad, first put your music in iTunes as described here:
Adding music and other content to iTunes
http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1473
Adding content on your computer to iTunes
iTunes helps you add digital audio and video files on your computer directly to your iTunes library. You can add audio files that are in AAC, MP3, WAV, AIFF, Apple Lossless, or Audible.com (.aa) format. If you have unprotected WMA content, iTunes for Windows can convert these files to one of these formats. You can also add video content in QuickTime or MPEG-4 format to iTunes. To learn how to add these files to iTunes follow the steps below.
Open iTunes
From the File menu, choose one of the following choices:
MacAdd to Library
Windows
Add File to Library
Add Folder to Library
Navigate to and select the file or folder that you want to add
If iTunes is set to "Copy files to the iTunes Music folder when adding to library," iTunes will copy all content that is added to the iTunes library to the iTunes Music folder. To adjust this setting or change the location of this folder, go to the Advanced tab in iTunes Preferences.
Once that's done, you can sync the music to your iPad by following this article:
iTunes 11 for Windows: Set up syncing for iPod, iPhone, or iPad
http://support.apple.com/kb/ph12313

I have one folder on an XSAN that one machine can not make changes to. Whenever I try to duplicate or copy a file in this folder I get 'The operation can't be completed because an unexpected error occurred (error code -50).'?

I have one folder on an XSAN that one machine can not make changes to. Whenever I try to duplicate or copy a file in this folder I get 'The operation can’t be completed because an unexpected error occurred (error code -50).'
The permissions are fine, and I have trashed the finder plist and reset the NVRAM.
Anyone have a answer?
Thanks

Tips I received so far (thanks to A-Mac via Twitter http://www.a-mac.nl and Remco Kalf http://www.remcokalf.nl/)
- make sure you have at least 10% of your harddisk in free space (I had only 5%).
- do a PRAM-reset (http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1379)
- perform a hardware test (http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1509)
- make a complete backup (with for example Carbone Clone Copier, see http://www.bombich.com/)
- after complete backup: use diskwarrior (boot from Diskwarrior DVD, first perform diagnostics, then perform "Rebuild" which rebuilds your file directory).
So far I only cleared up some space on my HD, and already the problem occurs less.
Still, I will go through the other tips too.
(will post progress)

Is the media files in question in the iTunes library or elsewhere on the computer?

Hi, in Creative Cloud the copy of files will be saved in the cloud? If yes then is there any option to disable it? Thank you.

Ron,
I too need to make "Real Copies" of images and hate doing anything directly from the OS because of the chance that my LR catalog gets out of Sync with the actual images on the computer. So I make the copies inside LR with an export routine and then move the copies inside of LR with the normal drag and drop. Once the export preset is created it can be executed from the Library Grid by right-clicking on the image (or selected images) to make the copies. My settings are as follows in case you are interested:
This is the first time I have posted an image before and I am not sure if you will be able to read it or not. The contents from the export preset in the image above are as follows if that helps:

Problem in Compresses file.Not able to see the data in file

Hi All,
I am downloading file into application server.
Using:
OPEN DATASET file FOR OUTPUT FILTER 'compress'.
OR
DATA: l_command(100) type c.
   CONCATENATE 'compress ' p_file INTO lw_command SEPARATED BY space.
    ENDIF.
    CALL 'SYSTEM' ID 'COMMAND' FIELD lw_command.
When I see the file content it contains junk characters.
If I want to see the data Do I need to uncompress the file.
con't we see the data without uncompressing the file?.
Regards,
vinod

Hi,
Uncompress is required to read the content of an Compressed file.
OPEN DATASET DSN FOR OUTPUT FILTER 'compress'.
OPEN DATASET DSN FOR INPUT FILTER 'uncompress'.
The first OPEN statement opens the file so that the displayed data can be read into it in compressed form.
The second OPEN statement opens the file so that the data is decompressed when it is read from the file.

Store file in binary form in the hard disk- how?

How can i store a file in binary form in the hard disk?
Thanks

How can i store a file in binary form in the hard disk? Simply open a FileOutputStream and start writing bytes to that
file. Don't forget to close that stream when you're done with it.
kind regards,

My Xtreamer media player won't read srt sub files downloaded from my iMac and stored in a 1Tb seagate external disk. However, the Xtreamer Elvira media player will read all the .avi files I have loaded in the external disk. Any ideas?

I am experiencing the same issue with a new external DVD burner, a Sony DRX-840U. When I load a CD into this external drive it appears in iTunes but when you go to import or play the CD iTunes indicates playing or importing for each individual track for just a moment. The end result is that nothing is ever imported or played. I am experiencing this on two different systems. One a notebook running Win2K and the other a desktop running XPpro. If I use the internal DVD drives on either of these systems everything work just fine. Yet I am able to use this new external DVD drive with every other application. For example Window Media Player has no problem playing or importing the same CD that iTunes fails on. The last person indicated that if one set the DVD drive in question to be the drive of choice under preferences>advanced>burning that all was ok. I my case this Sony external drive is the drive listed as the drive of choice for burning yet the issue still exists.
As this appears to be an issue that others are also experiencing help from Apple Tech Support would be greatly appreciated.

ITunes won't copy music files to Media folder when songs are dragged

I am trying add songs from my external hard drive to my iTunes Library.
I have the following options checked:
"Keep iTunes Media folder organized."
"Copy files to iTunes Media folder when adding to library."
In the past, I could just drag files from my hard drive into the iTunes song list and add them to the library. iTunes would successfully make a copy of the file to the iTunes Media folder so that I could disconnect the hard drive and still play the songs.
Suddenly, this no longer works. iTunes won't make a copy of the file anymore. It won't even make a copy of files located on my desktop.
I found a workaround -- copy the files from my hard drive to the desktop. Then I have to go to File > Add to Library in order for it to work.
It's an extra step, but it was VERY annoying to have to figure out.
So my question -- Is this an iTunes bug or some kind of deliberate attempt at making it hard to use files not purchased through iTunes?
I noticed this on one of the Apple support pages (my emphasis):
Copying music to and keeping the iTunes Media folder organized
You can select these options on the Advanced pane of iTunes preferences:
"Keep iTunes Media folder organized." Learn more about how iTunes 9 and later organizes your media.
"Copy files to iTunes Media folder when adding to library." Select this option to store all your media files in the iTunes Media folder. Since it's all in one location, you can easily transfer or back up your media. When you purchase or import media into iTunes from a CD, it's automatically added to your iTunes Media folder. If you add media to iTunes another way (choosing "Add to library" from the File menu or by dragging an MP3 file into iTunes), it might not be added to your iTunes Media folder.
Well, why the heck not??

I have posted so many issues to APPLE on the staggering lack of basic functionality with itunes and each time they keep deleting it.
Automatically Addd feature does not work consistently if the library is on NAS or a drive not on the same bok as the Mac, iMac or PC.
iTuns will hang if you have the finder window open and the recently added playlist open
itunes will not add files automatically if more than three phases of adding folders to the automatically add to itune folder is refreshed
Once could even jump to the conclusion that the software testing and Quality Control in the iTunes development team had missed out whole chunks of tsting OR that the test designers wrote such basic test scripts which did not replicate real world useage.

Can I simply copy and paste an existing library file from XP to a Mac and then copy and paste the music files themselves? Of course, the music files will be in a different location...

Hello Gurus,
I have an aged XP machine with a large music library in ITunes. iTunes will not run any longer (tried uninstalling and reinstalling etc to no avail) but the music files are backed up onto an external drive so all safe. I have purchased a Mac which of course already has iTunes installed and I can copy the music files onto the Mac, but can I simply copy and paste the iTunes library files from the XP machine to the Mac so that all of the playlists, tags, ratings etc transfer, or do I have to start again?
Thanks for the advice.

Sounds like you have a split library. Ideally you would make this portable before attempting to move it to the Mac. See make a split library portable for details.
Perhaps you can get iTunes running on the old box long enough to sort things out...
For general advice see Troubleshooting issues with iTunes for Windows updates.
The steps in the second box are a guide to removing everything related to iTunes and then rebuilding it which is often a good starting point unless the symptoms indicate a more specific approach. Review the other boxes and the list of support documents further down page in case one of them applies.
Your library should be unaffected by these steps but there is backup and recovery advice elsewhere in the user tip.
You will also want to deauthorize the XP system once everything is working properly on the Mac.

I want to find a tip for how to copy a file automatically to a folder on an external hard drive when I put that file into a folder on the desktop

I am trying to find a way to have a folder set up so that when I add to the folder(on the Desktop) a copy of the folder is also updated on an external hard drive. So I can have two copies of the contents of the folder, one on the desktop and one on the hard drive.

ITunes freezing when copying added files to ITunes folder

Hi all,
I have been running ITunes off of an external hard drive for as long as I can remember. I recently got a little NetBook, and it runs much faster than my older, slower desktop, so I figured I would just transfer all of my music to the NetBook.
I have the "copy files to ITunes folder when added" button checked, so when I add things to my NetBook library from the external hard drive, it will make a copy on the NetBook's hard drive.
I have tried adding a small folder twice, and both times it has frozen up on different songs. One time it froze while adding a song I had purchased from ITunes. The other time it froze while adding a song that I ripped from a CD.
Are these files corrupt? Is there any way to locate all of the corrupt files on my external hard drive and delete/clean them?
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
Mark

To know whether a song file is corrupt, find it in Windows, right-click the file and use Open With > iTunes. If the file is OK, it will add to the library and start playing. If iTunes thinks the file is not valid, it will "error silently," i.e. do nothing.
The other thing to note is that big Adds sometimes error in iTunes for no apparent reason. If the files are not corrupt, and they don't add in big batches, add them in smaller batches.
