Can't import into i-tunes

I have nearly 140 Gb of MP3 music on an external hard drive. When I import the songs onto i-tunes they appear in the library, but when I play them (with the Ex HD still attached) i-tunes says it does not know where the file originated from, then prompts me to find the file...every time.
Has anyone else had this problem...? What am I doing wrong?

Id say your importing the song which is moving it off your external. When you goto File>Import this moves or copies the song from its current location to the "iTUnes Music Folder" which by default is on your internal drive inside "My Music".
When you goto File and pick "Add file/folder to library" this option will keep the song in its current location and basicly tells iTunes where its located on your system so it can "Add" it to the iTunes database/library

What is the maximum size of a jpg that can be imported into iPhoto?

what is the maximum size of a jpg that can be imported into iPhoto

I've imported and worked on Photoshop and tiff files up at 220 MB (8400 x 6600 pixels) in size. It does take some time to do any edits, up to 7 seconds for some. 220 MB is a big file but iPhoto handles it OK.
I do have a top of the line iMac with SSD drive so it's pretty fast. Other Macs may be slower depending on their configuration.

Exporting all settings for Outlook Desktop so that they can be imported into Outlook

Hi there,
I was wondering whether all settings for Outlook Desktop can be exported so that they can be imported into Outlook i.e. .psts, .osts, .pabs, .oabs, .dats, .xmls, .nk2s, .rwzs, .rtfs, .txts, .htms, .dics, .ofts, .srss and .msgs. My Managing Director's Wife is
unsubscribing from Office 365 in order to use Office Professional 2013 I presume or 2010 perhaps. Your help would be much appreciated.
Kind regards,
RocknRollTim
P.S. I was redirected by a user off the Office 365 Community Forum.

Hi,
As per the information and details provided by you, in Outlook, there is not any way to backup Outlook account setting because in all Outlook versions the account settings are kept inside the window registry under this key:
• HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Windows Messaging Subsystem\Profiles
So if you want to create backup of your Outlook account setting, you should have to export that key from your registry and then import it to your new computer.
To backup Outlook Account setting follow these steps: -
1. First, go to the Start menu and then at the Run box, type regedit and press Enter.
2. Under the registry editor right click to Export the Profiles key found inside this location in the registry:
• HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Windows Messaging Subsystem\
• e.g: “HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Windows Messaging Subsystem\Profiles”
3. In Outlook 2013 right click to Export the Profile key found under this location in the registry:
• HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Office\15.0\Outlook\
• e.g: “HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Office\15.0\Outlook\Profiles key”
4. Specify the Destination Location and File Name then press Save.
Correct me if the information that I am having is wrong. I hope this will be helpful for you.
Thanks and regards

HT203167 Had to replace my hard drive. Now I can't get into i-tunes to enjoy my list (about 98 songs). Is my music stored in my old hsrd drive? Sorry guys I'm not real good with this comp. stuff. Just want my music back

Had to replace my hard drive. Now I can't get into i-tunes to enjoy or purchase new music.Are my i-tunes stored in my old hard drive ? Do I have to take my old hard drive to a computer store and have them placed on something called a flash drive ? I'm having the same trouble retrieving my Ancestry.com infor.

Yes, all you iTunes data are on the old drive. Get an external enclosure in which you may install the old drive in order to connect it to your computer and copy your iTunes data to your new drive.
Everything is on your old drive unless you copied it to the new drive.

Switch (free basic version) - http://www.nch.com.au/switch/index.html - I'm not sure if this will do WMA
All2MP3 - http://download.cnet.com/All2MP3/3000-2140_4-190407.html - mixed success with WMA
Flip4mac - need the intermediate payware version which lets you convert. Use with Quicktime player.Flip4Mac - http://dynamic.telestream.net/downloads/download-flip4macwmv.asp?prodid=flip4mac wmv - The free version will let Quicktime play but not convert Windows Media files.
After installation a new Flip4Mac pane will appear in System Preferences. Make sure you set the boxes to ensure that it will play WMV files in Quicktime.

Can't Import into DW6

Newbie... but have created a BC site from inside Dreamweaver .... works fine... input username and password...etc.
Then tried to import a site I created through the BC partner port ... the site on BC shows up on the import site menu in dreamweaver .. but then I get a "cannot connect to server message."
What is the solution to fix this.
Thank you,
Karen

Nope it continues.... I discovered the adobe live chat ... the issue has now been escalated... I gave them my password and the had the same problem importing the site created in BC into Dreamweaver. I went through three different people and several hours
the Basic site I created through Dreamweaver imports fine... same account. The problem is I need the template on BC... for the client I'm working with.
Thanks for getting back to me

Hi Karen, Was this some kind of temporary connection issue or does it still persist? Please check your Site Settings in DW and make sure that the FTP details are setup for that site. Also, if you're on a Windows machine make sure you don't have some kind of security software blocking DW from making a connection. Perhaps a firewall or one of those anti-virus packages that can control connections. Cheers, -mario

Can I import into Illustrator and modify a drawing in Appleworks?

Can I import into Illustrator and modify a drawing in Appleworks?

Depending on the detail/complexity/accuracy of the graphics, you will not likely find back-and-forth wokflows between PostScript-compatible drawing programs (Illustrator, FreeHand, Canvas, Draw, Xara) and OS-meta format (QuickDraw, Quartz, WMF, EMF) based programs ("Works" or "Office" applications) very satisfying.
You encounter instance-specific caveats stemming from two basic issues:
PostScript compatible drawing programs use cubic Bezier curves; two curve handles per path segment. "Works" or "Office" type drawing modules typically use simpler quadratic Bezier curves; one handle per path segment. So going back and forth between involves geometric translations and re-translations which wreck the practicality of editng the paths. PostScript drawing programs use cubic curves for good reason: more shape control with fewer anchors.
The OS-specific meta formats are really not designed for the device-independent resolution fidelity of commercial print. Resolution in vector drawing? Yes. Vector paths are essentially mathematical formulae for *plotting* curves onto a raster grid. (Everything is eventually rasterized; the practical difference between raster and vector graphics is a matter of when.)
So it's a matter of accuracy; the "fineness" of the theoretical grids the curve-handling format/application is designed to plot upon . Meta formats are more about drawing an acceptable shape onscreen, and you can kind of think of what gets sent to a dumb printing device (one without a PostScript "brain") as a glorified enlarged screenshot. The path objects you draw in a PostScript compatible program that have smooth curves that scale well both upward and downward often translate to meta formats as paths with ugly flats or extra kinks that become apparent when scaled. These caveats are unpredictable and tedious to correct. The bother ends up outweighing the advantages you are seeking.
In a nutshell, that's why Illustrator's effective "recommendation" for exporting to Office applicaitons (Save For Office...) is the lowest-common-denominator approach of defaulting to a common raster format (PNG), even though Windows does have a vector-based format (EMF) which Illustrator can export to.
If what you're trying to do is just a one-way trip from some legacy AppleWorks drawings to Illustrator, you'll need an intermediary translation from .awk to something Illustrator can import. You may be able to find an open-source software for doing that.

What kind of Video can I import into InDesign?

I've read that Acrobat 9 and newer can display flash video files within a PDF. I tried importing an .flv file into InDesign but it did not work. Is this possible to do? Also, are there any other types of video files that can be imported into InDesign?
The idea is to do a quick reference guide for a software application which will have an embedded flash video file showing motion capture of the application in action.
Any help will be greatly appreciated.
Thanks!

Acrobat 9 can display Flash (SWF) files well if you add the files within Acrobat. However, if you add the SWF files in InDesign and then export to PDF, the SWF files may not play, especially on a Mac. You're better off leaving a placeholder in InDesign and then adding the SWF in Acrobat to the exported PDF. For more details, see Sandee Cohen's entry:

I am having problems importing some CDs into iTunes on a laptop with Windows 8. Most CDs import without problem. The ones I can't import can be imported into iTunes with Windows 7. Does anybody know why this problem is occurring?

I am having problems importing some CDs into iTunes on a laptop with Windows 8. Most CDs import without problem. The ones I can't import can be imported into iTunes with Windows 7. Does anybody know why this problem is occurring?

First-off, this seems to be a general problem with 10.4 (across all the operating systems of which I am aware). Unfortunately, I cannot provide a permanent solution but, if you need a quick fix, this will (hopefully) work for you.
For some inexplicable reason, iTunes no longer recognises standard Windows paths. For example:
Y:\Music\Buddy Holly\Buddy Holly - Rave On.mp3
The end result is that it will import a playlist with no content.
It will, however, recognise the equivalent Apple paths which look like this:
file://localhost/Y:/Buddy Holly/Buddy Holly - Rave On.mp3
It is possible to convert your existing playlists using a few basic replace commands in something like Notepad. In my case, I made some code changes in my music manager and now generate two sets of playslists (one standard and one to accommodate iTunes).
Forgive me foir stating the obvious but please remember to make sure that the disk / path containing your music is accessible when doing the import otherwise you will probably get a blank result. Note that you can do a bulk import by selecting all the (revised) playlists and dragging them onto the iTunes sidebar.
I am sorry that this is not a "clean" solution but it will work if you are in a bind. The only alternative of which I am aware is to wait for Apple to fix the problem.

Can i sign into i tunes on

Can I sign into i tunes on my computer using another persons account and synch their i tunes librabry onto their i pod?

Hey grandkids7k,
Thanks for the question. The following resource provides troubleshooting information if you have forgotten your passcode:
iOS: Forgotten passcode or device disabled after entering wrong passcode
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1212
If you have never synced your device with iTunes, or you do not have access to a computer
If you see one of following alerts, you need to erase the device:
"iTunes could not connect to the [device] because it is locked with a passcode. You must enter your passcode on the [device] before it can be used with iTunes."
"You haven't chosen to have [device] trust this computer"
If you have Find My iPhone enabled, you can use Remote Wipe to erase the contents of your device. If you have been using iCloud to back up, you may be able to restore the most recent backup to reset the passcode after the device has been erased.
Alternatively, place the device in recovery mode and restore it to erase the device:
1. Disconnect the USB cable from the device, but leave the other end of the cable connected to your computer's USB port.
2. Turn off the device: Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button for a few seconds until the red slider appears, then slide the slider. Wait for the device to shut down.
3. While pressing and holding the Home button, reconnect the USB cable to the device. The device should turn on.
4. Continue holding the Home button until you see the Connect to iTunes screen.
5. iTunes will alert you that it has detected a device in recovery mode. Click OK, and then restore the device.
Thanks,
Matt M.

Maximum number of photos that can be imported into an iPhoto library?

1. Does iPhoto have a maximum number of files or photos that it can handle in a single library?
I have a lot of photos (20GB) that have not yet been imported into an iPhoto Library. I am going to set up a new library with the iPhoto Library Manager (iPLM), but am wondering if there is a maximum number of files that can be handled in a single library?
2. Also, I don't think I want to import these, since that would create an iPhoto library as large as the source files. Are there any problems if I set up the preferences so that this library will not have the graphics imported into it?
3. With iPLM, can you have different sets of preferences for each library?
Thank you for any advice or suggestions.

1. Does iPhoto have a maximum number of files or photos that it can handle in a single library?
Apple advertises that iPhoto will handle 250,000 photos - I doubt that anyone has come close to that (or will)
I have 19,278 in 237 events - 22 GB - on a G5 iMac and it is snappy with no issues
I have a lot of photos (20GB) that have not yet been imported into an iPhoto Library. I am going to set up a new library with the iPhoto Library Manager (iPLM), but am wondering if there is a maximum number of files that can be handled in a single library?
If you want those should be fine in one library
2. Also, I don't think I want to import these, since that would create an iPhoto library as large as the source files. Are there any problems if I set up the preferences so that this library will not have the graphics imported into it?
It is a choice - if you do NOT import them then you will be responsible for all future management - deleting, etc. Moving to a different location or computer is much more difficult if you reference your photos instead of importing them.
Many people import them, burn the original source photos to CD or DVD and delete them from their disk letting iPhoto manage them
3. With iPLM, can you have different sets of preferences for each library?
I'm not sure but I do not think so

How can I import into iPhoto, from my iPad, albums created on the iPad using Photos App ?

I take about 300 photos a day using my iPad, as i'm filming to help keep continuity.
I then create albums under the scene number from some of the photos taken. Eventually i will build up all of the scene numbers in the script.
I want to import into iPhoto all of these albums.
How can this be done?
For some reason, when i plug my iPad into the laptop, it won't import screen grabs or all of the photos.
So the fact i have tried to be super organised, the apple software is now letting me down !
Can albums created in the iPad now be imported into iPhoto as albums to keep my organisation ?
Thanks.

Can't import into Shapes Project Palette

I'm working through the Apple Pro Series DVDSP 3 and the lesson requires me to import a layered Photoshop file into Palette - Shapes - Project. Initially, I had to import and the file appeared in the Custom tab. I followed the steps to import into the Project tab (selection "For this project only"), but the file appears in Custom or not at all. Very frustrating. I've tried restarting DVDSP and that doesn't work. Can anyone help?

Its a limitation of importing into Aperture from an iPad.

Can,t get into I-Tunes after upgrading to 7.0.2

When I update to 7.0.2 and try to go into I-Tunes the set up assistant for download artwork freezes I-Tunes I can get into other programs but not I-Tunes. Please help

I'm having similar problems... I think Apple can't figure out how to make a dialog application modal such that it "stays on top." After upgrading to 7.0, ANY dialog (be it a status window or the Preferences dialog or ...) can be sent to the background by clicking anywhere off it. Once that's done, you can't get it back on top unless you click on iTunes and then immediately press the Esc key to dismiss whatever modal window is open (but that you can't see).
Hello... Apple... think you could figure this out?
