Big time library trouble

Help me out please.....having trouble with my iTunes library
let me give a bit of background....
I just bought a new Samsung laptop....running windows 7. Previously, I was running iTunes on my old HP laptop, running WIndows XP. I backed up my iTunes library manually on an external hard drive by simply copying the entire iTunes folder from "my music" to an external hard drive. Whenever I had to reinstall windows, I then just drop the backed up iTunes folder into the my music folder and all my music, artwork, playlists, play counts, ratings, everythign was all there and it worked beautifully. Never had an issue.
Now these new Samsung laptops have a feature where they are manufactured with a partitioned hard drive. I have 1 500GB hard drive, but it's partitioned into 100GB for drive C, and 350GB for drive D. The intent is that the operating system and upgrades and key software go on C, and your data and other games and programs you install go on D. So I installed iTunes on D, and trid to put my music (the backed up iTunes folder) on D. Well it did not even see the library. SO I started digging and playing...since I had a backup I knew I would not ruin it for good. I first learned that if i put the music in C, even though the program was on D, it worked just like normal. But I want my data on D. So I also went into the XML file where they have all the song data and playlist data, and replaced ever occurance of "C:" with "D:" THis caused my music to be visible, but the playlists and the song counts/ratings were lost, even though they were still listed in the file. Also, it made me reimport the music, wiping out all the dates that they were imported or last played. The artwork disappeared as well.
All I want is the following: I want the program, and all the music on my D drive. And I want to get it from my backup, without losing the artwork or song count/rating data, and without losing playlists or having to start over from scratch. I spent many dozens of hours in front of my computer getting all that stuff right, and while I can just play it off the C drive with no problem, i really want it on D because my music library is the single biggest thing I have on my computer.
ANyone have any ideas? Is there a way from within iTunes to move everything over to the D drive without losing anything?

Your library was on *C:\<some path>\iTunes* and you copied this folder to an external drive, i.e. *X:\<some other path>\iTunes* correct?
If so ALL you needed to do was copy the iTunes folder from X: to D: and then, having installed iTunes used the SHIFT-start method to open the library in its new location.
As long as the main iTunes library folder contains the media folder you can move the whole iTunes folder to a new path or drive and it will work.
There is no need to uninstall & reinstall iTunes - it will not be useful. Simply copy the backed up version of the library file *iTunes Libray.itl* into your iTunes folder on D: (you should probably also copy the *iTunes Library Extras.itdb, iTunes Library Genius.itdb* and sentinel files but it's probably not the end of the world if you don't.) I realise that the backed up library used to look on drive C: for its files, but when it starts up it will notice that the .itl file is on a different path and will attempt to look for the files in the local iTunes Music/iTunes Media folder. If they are there then it will work it all out. You may still need to update the folder location in preferences though it normally updates that automatically.

FCP HD Crash! Big time!

Hi all, could you please help. I am on MacBook Pro Duo Core 2.0 with 2GB RAM and running Mac OS 10.4.9. I had Final Cut Studio installed. The thing is, it crashes big time! Tried to start again and ot crashes again. Tried re-installing, but still crash. I run software updates and install FCP Update 5.1.4, Quicktime 7.5, and OS (Intel) updates, all successful except FCP 5.1.4. It said something about conflicting IDs or wrong key of some sort. Please help. I am getting really frustrated on this as I had my worked all stalled up because of this! I am not sure whether the problem is FCP, or Quicktime or the OS it self. Weird that problems only arises as they shifted to Intel processors. I tried running the video with Quicktime, but it crashes too.
Any idea? Help, please.

You probably need to delete your FCP license. Once gone, when you launch FCP, the program will ask you to fill in all the information again and should launch.
The license is located here:
/Library/Application Support/ProApps/Final Cut Pro System ID
good luck.

Please help! when i try to open itunes get this"an app has mad an atempt to load the c run time library incorectly please contact the app support team for more info"

Hi everyone I was wondering if someone can help with this issue please. When i tried to open itunes in my laptop that is running on windows xp i get this error message " program c:/program files/itunes/itunes.exe
                 RC034
                 an application has made an attempt to run the c runtime time library incorrectly
                 please contact the aplication support team for more information."

Click here and follow the instructions. You may need to completely remove and reinstall iTunes and all related components, or run the process multiple times; this won't normally affect its library, but that should be backed up anyway.

NEED HELP BIG TIME!

I wrote a few days ago about this and was told that gathering
information from a form using Post as the method and having the
results emailed to someone wasn't a good idea and that it didn't
work very well. People basically told me to investigate scripting
or hiring someone, or use a pay service like MailChimp. None of
these are options for me right now, I absolutely have to get this
site done tonight and the person I'm doing it for will not pay for
a service.
The client wants to have a form on his site to collect email
addresses so he can compile them into a mailing list to send out
infrequent emails notifying people of upcoming events he's putting
on. He's a local artist with a very modest following, nothing big
time. I have no idea about databasing or MySql, and the person
doesn't want to pay for a service, so basically I'm stuck doing it
the "unreliable" way.
Can someone walk me through how to do this in Dreamweaver? I
assume I add a form field, and put a text field and submit button
inside of it. Here's my questions, to get this to work and use the
mailto: thing, what do I put for...
Form Field: Name, Action, Method, Target, Enctype
Text Field: Name
Button: Type, Name, ID, Value
Any help would be greatly appreciated by one stressed out,
hack web designer, thanks!

If this client doesn't want to pay for a service then tell
him the best
you can do is gather INDIVIDUAL emails from his site and have
them
emailed to their email address. Then it's up to them to mail
out to
their modest following INDIVIDUALLY.
Basically you put a form on the site to collect the email
address of the
user. Like this:
<form name="emailForm" method="post"
action="formmail.php">
<p><label for="email">Enter email
address</label><br>
<input type="text" id="email" name="email"> </p>
<input type="submit" name="Submit" value="Submit">
</form>
You would then need to send the submitted form to a formmail
script
which will then send it on to the clients email address.
A free script named Formmail does exist if you search for it
in google
under Free formmail script
You would need to alter the script as per the instructions
which should
come with it and then upload it to your cgi-bin assuming you
have one on
your server.
You then point the form at the script by filling in the
action attribute
like:
<form name="emailForm" method="post"
action="
http://www.yourdomain.com/cgi-bin/formmail.cgi">
I no longer use formmail because it can be a bit of an issue
to set up
for beginners.
I now tend to use server side scripting like php to gather
the
information. IF you have php running on your server then
NateMail is
FREE and very very simple script to set up. It comes with
clear pdf
instructions that will do the job in about 10-15mins.

What happened to Big Time Moms

What happened to the latest episode of Big Time Rush? Sunday afternoon it was in the store and when I went to watch it it was the previous episode. When I went back to the store it was no longer available.

cause I know its there in the final mpg but it just won't play.
anyone using media shout?
I have checked their website and their forum as well.... hopefully will get an answer there.
If anyone runs into this as well I can post my findings here as well.....
Thanks for the help.

What is the intended way to organize a big photo library?

What is a good workflow using iphoto and or aperture to work with a big photo library involving NAS? Local hard drives are becoming overly taxed with the amount of data from high res pictures. I have to mention I am just an average photo amateur not a Pro. The possibilty of sharing the library between users in the family would be great too.

One can't use an iPhoto or Aperture library on a NAS. The NAS doesn't support the file system used in those libraries and will corrupt the library.
To handle larger libraries or share usage of a library between users in the family put the library on an external hard drive formatted OS X Extended (journaled) with ownership set to be ignored,
connect the drive to a desktop or host Mac and run the library from there and let the other users either connect from their Macs to the host to access the EHD or access it from their account on the host Mac.
The bottom line: NAS is verbotten, i.e. a big NO NO!

I pre-ordered the Big Time Rush album 24/seven and never recieved anything

I pre-ordered the new Big Time Rush album 24/seven a month ago. I haven't gotten any email and the album released today. A lot of people (on twitter) were going crazy saying how awesome the album is and yet I have recieved nothing. What do I do to get it to download?
I have the automatic downloads option clicked for both my computer and iPhone.

Look under the Store menu in iTunes for the "Check for available downloads" command and select that. You may find the tracks there to be downloaded. If not, check the Purchases area of the iTunes Store and you may be able to download the album there:

If not, go here:
http://www.apple.com/emea/support/itunes/contact.html
to report the issue to the iTunes Store.

Firefox 4 sucks big time. I uninstalled and downloaded 3.6.17.

Sorry Mozilla, but Firefox 4 sucks big time. I uninstalled and downloaded 3.6.17. I've turned off automatic updates. V4 breaks JQuery and who knows what else, so I'll be a lifelong customer of my v3.6.17 version, coz I'm just not going to have established, clean, awesome code killed by the browser! Only I build web apps so I've got to get all my clients to stop upgrading, too. I've been a Firefox guy for years now, but this is the end of my rope. Chrome is pretty good, as is Safari. I guess one of these is going to be my browser going forward.

I got back from Firefox 9 to my older 3.6.8 version. Despite of the really ugly new look there are silly annoyances like the trasposed right click pop up menu "open in new window - open in new tab" I cant tell you how many times ive right clicked and hit open in new window instead of open in new tab
However, the great flop are the disabled add-ons I was accustomed to (PoxySel and Auto shut down among others )
Many years ago I choose Firefox because the add-ons power but if you take them off and destroy the UI I was comfortable with you are inviting me to try ANY other new browser...like the so-talked Chrome.
Seriously, you should be careful with retro-compatibility. At least, give the user the chance to keep the old look, layout and utilities.
Thank you folks!

System requirement for the LV and VISA run-time library

Dear
My application built from LV8.2.1 didn't run on the old-fashioned notebook, which was under XP and 256 RAM.
(The application was tested successfully in several times in other computer.)
In the only first running, there was no problem.
But after that, the application executed "twice" and one of two couldn't be removed even in Windows Task Manager.
(I had to switch off the computer for restarting PC)
However, I am not sure if this problem is a kind of the library's bug but suspect the out-of-fashioned notebook.
What's the minimum system requirement for the LV run-time library and VISA runtime library of version 8.2.1?
Or any other check points?

Thank you, falkpl and smercurio_fc.
Of course, my application and the libraries have no problem in other computers.
There were no error messages but it seemed not to run normally.
My application had to show a status message prior to a VISA routine, but only a blank in the status control.
When I click the application one time, the application was not launched.
Then the two same applcations were appeared in the second click.
One of two applications could be removed by the Taskmanager. (malfunction of the program exit button.)
But the remained one can't be exited by the Taskmanager or Exit Windows.
Maybe, I had better remove the XP and then try again.
Anyway, I can't understand the reason why any NI Labview developer remained in silence for this kind of postings.

Why does my audio quality drop big time when I use the compressor to compress my final cut studio project?

Hi,
When I'm working on a project, my audio sounds great but once I put my project though the compressor it looses it's volume big time when I play the DVD on a DVD player or computer. Where does the problem lie? How do I maintain the smae quailty of audio on the finished DVD?
thanks in advance,
Iki

You'll need to duplicate the Dolby Digital preset then alter the duplicate so that the DialNorm setting is -31dbfs and the Compression is set to NONE. Use the new, custom preset to create an ac3 file with the same output levels you had in your FCP Sequence.

My broadband wi-fi is chewing up MBs big time and I don't know why!

Hi everyone Since yesterday for some unknown reason my 4G broadband wi-fi is chewing up MBs big time from my laptop and I really don't know why! Even with the web browsers shut down, the broadband is chewing up at least 1MB per second and counting. Maybe it's a malware problem? I'm sure it's not a devious neighbour accessing the broadband because whenever I disconnect my laptop from the wi-fi, the wi-fi device stops chewing up MBs. So it's something to do with my laptop. I have a Sophos installed so I thought would have picked up any virus chewing up the MBs? Help anyone!

Has your laptop been downloading and updates? If you're using Windows, you can change the settings in control panel to stop it automatically downloading updates, you can choose which updates you want to install.
If Mac, I'm not knowledgable with Apple devices. I would recommend chatting with wireless Bigpond Tech Support on 13 39 33 "wireless"

Beats Audio Control Panell (edited) big time.

Beats Audio Control Panell (edited) big time.
Its the uglyest layout I have seen, after using the IDT Audio Control Panell in my old HDX 18.
I miss the ability to change the backgrounds, the graphic EQ, the change of font and panell colour trim amung other things.
Soooo,,,,,,,,,
I'm going to do a restore point,
Delete the Beats Audio,
Restart,
Install the sp45011.exe from my old HDX18-1374ca,
Hopefully all will work fine,
If not,
I have a restore point ,,,,,,,,,,,

Hi, I to own a similar model spectre, 3210nr. I am having the exact same issue and was not able to be helped by tech support staff. Infact the staff I spoke to claimed it was hardware related.
I am unable to make any changes that are physically reflected to my beats audio control panel. Most importantly my volume dial is locked on clockwise operation despite my settings selection. I also cannot change my EQ or Recording experience settings.
The issue only started the other day when a technician was helping me with another random problem with my tocuhpad drivers.
I tried a system restore and reinstalling the idt drivers along with spending a few hours with tech support using a remote access session. I think they did a bios update which I think is a possible culprit.
I'd hate to send my laptop in for repair due to previous EXTREME negative experiences on multiple seperate occasions with HP. I really hope someone from HP see this message and is able to help resolve this issue. Or maybe someone in the community with a work around.
Thanks.

Itunes failed loading C run time library

I downloaded and installed the latest Itunes update last night. The download failed because it daid that i was missing a driver. I located and installed the driver. Now I'm getting a Itunes attempted to load C++ run time library incorrectly? What can I do to fix this?

I haven't tried it yet but just saw this and I'm going to try it next time I'm on that computer:
turingtest2 London, UK
This helped meTS1275 Re: Itunes update failed to install and now Itunes won't run Jan 23, 2014 1:31 PM (in response to Shestersophie)
Go to Control Panel > Add or Remove Programs (Win XP) or Programs and Features(Later)
Remove all of these items in the following order:
iTunes
Apple Software Update
Apple Mobile Device Support
Bonjour
Apple Application Support
Reboot, download iTunes, then reinstall, either using an account with administrative rights, or right-clicking the downloaded installer and selecting Run as Administrator.
See also HT1925: Removing and Reinstalling iTunes for Windows XP or HT1923: Removing and reinstalling iTunes for Windows Vista, Windows 7, or Windows 8
Should you get the error iTunes.exe - Entry Point Not Found after the above reinstall then copy QTMovieWin.dll from:
C:\Program Files (x86)\Common Files\Apple\Apple Application Support
and paste into:
C:\Program Files (x86)\iTunes
The above paths would be for a 64-bit machine. Hopefully the same fix with the " (x86)" omitted would work on 32-bit systems with the same error.

I Think I'm In Trouble ( Big Time)

Hi good people of Adobe forums,
I'm in need of your help yet again, this time with Encore CS 4. A little history, I had problems with Encore a few months ago, when it decided to not even start up when icon clicked. So l uninstalled Encore, ran CC cleaner then Tune up maintanence program, rebooted and reinstalled Encore and the update file to bring up to new version. All worked Honky Dory started up after installation without any problem, and l have been using Encore everyday since without any problems. Today however, after finishing editing AVI file in PP l double clicked Encore icon and it went straight to "Adobe has detected that the application has unexpectedly quit screen. Started to get a little nervous at the sight of this but tried again to start the program from the icon, same message, restarted the computer, and tried again same story, turned off computer waited then started again, same message. Uninstalled Encore ran CC Cleaner then Tuneup maintanence rebooted and installed Encore again with the latest updates for EN, PP & Media Encoder rebooted went to start Encore and same message screen pops up. I can't believe my eyes l must have done something wrong. (held tongue in the wrong side of mouth whilst installing) So l went through the whole process again turning off Commodo & anti virus program. Same result again. l have an XP machine with the CS4 suite installed as well the only problem with it is that it (XP) crashes at the most inconvenient times, (always whilst encoding of course) so shifted all relevant files to 2nd computer to finish off a 10min AVI to DVD which took close to 1/2 Hr due to it crashing.
Whilst trying to pull out the hair that l don't have and turning my office blue with swearing l suddenly realised that the Adobe Flash Player had updated itself a day ago, l don't know if l'm clutching at straws here but it's the only explanation l can think of. Finally l'll ask a question If l use Adobe's clean script will it wipe all of the installed CS4 suite of programs, or is that what l have to do now. Does that also mean that l have to also deactivate the software too so that l can reinstall entire CS4 suite again on the same machine. I've included a crash report so if someone smarter than l can interpret it l would be most grateful for your help.I can't seem to find an option to put the crash repot into this message, bugger it.
Anywho l hope this is something to go on, specs l feel are not relevant as l've not had any problem what so ever with the other Adobe Software (at this stage) suite. Hope someone can help.
Thanks
Simon Allan

Hi Jeff,
I Think I'm Not In Trouble Now. Thanks to your last option l was able to delete the prefs and start En without problem, l also have done the same thing for Pr on at least 2 occassions, you would have thought l could remember that. But you have saved me alot of work reinstalling when l already have alot of real work to do and for that l thank you very much for your help.

Ipod Trouble -- Big time!

I have just acquired two used Ipods to give as gifts to my kids. On each unit, every time we connect to the comptuer (and to several others we have tried) we get this message - "one of the USB devices attached to this computer has malfunctioned and Windows does not recognize it..." Does anyone have a clue as to A) what is wrong, and B) is there an easy - or difficult - fix??
Bob

first stick with one PC and one iPod at a time. On this PC make sure it has iTunes version 6.0.5 by going to help>about iniTUnes. If it doesn't, disable your antivirus/security programs and download/install it from apple.com
Next go here and download/install the latest ipod updater version 06-28-2006 here http://www.apple.com/ipod/download/
