Can you share a harddrive with Itunes and other music applications.

So here's my issue....
I have been using PCDJ FX on a Windows based laptop for quite a few years.
So what I would like to do is basically beable to take my harddrive and plug it into my desktop and have Itunes use that music disk and then unplug it and put it on my DJ system.
now the issue is there is kind of a process to get the music ready for PCDJ which consists of:
rip the music to my HD
Run MP3Gain to set the Gain.
load it into a temp folder on my harddrive
bring up PCDJ to do the BPM scan to set the Beats per minute.
once this is all done I then go and place the music into it's proper folders such as Bass/breakbeats/bassnectar or 70's Rock/led Zepplin.
the problem that I found is after I do that if I take that harddrive back to Itunes it doesn't realize the new music is there.
is there a way to refresh and scan the folder for the new stuff so Itunes knows it's there???

wow I stumped the all mighty Apple Discussion group????

    My iPad does not have sound when on the Internet, including YouTube, but does have sound with iTunes and other apps.  How can I correct this?

    If you are sure that you have sound in other apps - and if you can still hear keyboard clicks and get notifications, then system sounds are not muted. Try this and see if it works.
    Close all apps completely and reboot the iPad.
    Go to the home screen first by tapping the home button. Double tap the home button and the recents tray will appear with all of your recent apps displayed at the bottom. Tap and hold down on any app icon until it begins to wiggle. Tap the minus sign in the upper left corner of the app that you want to close. Tap the home button or anywhere above the task bar.
    Reboot the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider if it appears on the screen - let go of the buttons. Let the iPad start up.

    Working on a single computer with multiple users, I have set things up to allow each user to view and listen to the others' music libraries under the "Shared Library" function.  Can you then connect an iPod touch and copy music from a shared library?

    Was your wife logged into the libray at the time you tried to log in? I have had a similar problem and it was because another user was logged into the library when I attempted to. I got the permission denied banner.

  • Can you send a code for iTunes and have it still work

    Can you send a code for iTunes and have it still work

    Did you get this in an email from Apple? Are there instructions in the email?
    Typically the way that you redeem a gift card is to go to either the app store or iTunes - go to the featured tab in the app store or the music tab in iTunes - swipe to the bottom of the screen. Tap on Reedem at the bottom and go from there.
    OK. I'm a little dense tonight. Now I get it. Like Meg said, you will know soon enough.

    Can't not text pictures with 4s and other texts dont always go thru WHY?

    Need more information...  Is it that you don't know how to add a picture to a text?  You know and have tried but gotten an error message?  Got no message, but the receiver does not get the text?  Are you sending as iMessage or SMS, or MMS?

  • Can you share purchased books with Home Sharing?

    Can you share purchased books (from IBooks) with Home Sharing? Music seems to share fine-books seem to be a problem.

    In iTunes go to Preferences > Sharing and either share your entire library or make sure the Books playlist is checked.
    You may then need to click the Import button to copy the book into your Library, I was not able to actually read the book without taking that step.

  • How long can you share a folio file for and how many people simultaneously

    Hi There,
    Questions per above title, can you share a folio file via the content viewer for an unlimited time?  How many people could you share it with simultaneously?
    As well I am trying to understand do you have to pay for DPS (and if so can it just be the single version) to be able to share a .folio file through the content viewer.  Can you just have in design 5.5+.
    In addition, if the .folio file is set up for Ipad distribution when shared will it be formatted and fully usable/interactive through the content viewer by the person you are showing it to on the ipad?
    Any help is appreciated.

    You do not need to pay to share a folio file via the content viewer.
    I'm not aware of any limits on how long a folio can be shared to, or how many e-mails a folio can be shared to.
    And yes, on the interactivity question.

  • Can you still purchase videos with itunes 6??

    Like everyone else I downloaded itunes7, at first I got all error messages, and missing files. I spent 3 hrs. on the phone with Apple technicians and they had me download itunes7 and quicktime separately. Now I can at least open itunes, but that is about it. Itunes played audio but no video, but I went in and disabled the 3D from my video, now the videos play but are fuzzy and freeze. I have a 60GB ipod which I am afraid to sync with my computer. Does that mean if connect my ipod to my computer for synching, that will screw up my ipod?? I tried to uninstall itunes7 and its components and load the itunes cd that came with my ipod itunes 6.01 but it wouldn't work. In my itunes library it doesn't list videos anymore. Only TV shows, music and podcasts? Where did the video listing go? My 60GB ipod was recently purchased with an extended warranty, do you think if I return it and purchase a 80GB with the itunes cd and install that, it might work better? Can you still purchase videos if I manage to somehow get back itunes6?? The Apple technician said they would get back to me but of course they haven't. One last thing, I can finally connect to the itunes store but when I preview a video it freezes.

    Welcome to Apple Discussions!
    While I haven't tried, I would image the answer is no.
    Usually when iPods are released with a new iTunes version, they aren't made to be/are made not to be compatible with previous iTunes versions.
    It may work, but I can't be sure either way (someone else may have tested this).
    In the past, even if iTunes updated the iPod, there tended to be problems syncing.

  • How many times can you download a song on iTunes and have it count?

    I'm wondering. Someone I like have released a song on iTunes and I wanna support them and I dont mind spending a few bucks on them.
    So how many times can I download a song and still have it count as an individual purchase? And what about gifting?
    thanks.
    -andy.

    As Polydorus said, get only one download per purchase for anything you buy from the iTunes Store other than iOS apps or iBooks. I'm not sure what you mean by "individual purchase" or what you are asking in reference to gifting.
    Regards.

  • Can You Build a Website with iWeb and then publish it to another server?

    I am very new at this but like how easy iWeb makes it to build a website. A few questions for the newbie:
    1. I want to build a site but have another server I use who would host it. After watching the iWeb tutorials it looks as if you have to publish it on mobileme.com. But I already have hosting with another company. How do you do that?
    2. I also have a domain name I want to show up in the hyperlink bar not mobileme.com/____, is that possible to do with this program?
    3. Are their other templates for iWeb? I see about 12 or so they offer, can you search and download for new ones or is what's there all you have to choose from?
    I appreciate any help on these matters.
    Thanks!

  • Can you make a playlist in iTunes and drag it to Touch?

    I went through my iTunes library and picked out 5 gigs of some of my favorite songs and put them in an iPod Touch playlist so i know what to put in my touch.
    When I get the touch, can I just drag the playlist to the touch and then iTunes will import those songs?

    When you select the option to manually manage your music, you are correct.
    What you do is drag your playlist to your iPod, then the playlist and associated music files (audio, album art, etc.) will copy over to your iPod Touch.
    Now, if you select the option to automatically synch your iPod Touch, then just simply connecting your iPod Touch to your computer will do that automatically.
    I hope my suggestion was helpful for you.

  • Can't share Aperture photos with iWork and iLife

    I can't see my Aperture photos in any iWork '08 or iLife '08 application. I am running 1.5.4; sharing previews is enabled in Aperture Prefs; previews for my entire Library set to 1280px (and there are definitely previews for every master image). However, I see nothing in any iWork '08 or iLife '08 app – no Aperture 'disclosure triangle' in the Media pane. Nothing. Zip.
    I have rebuilt the Aperture database (Command + Option on start-up) for all 242 projects, but still no go.
    The only thing I think it could be is that my 'Aperture Library.aplibrary' (all 95GB of it) is stored in its entirety on a different hard drive, with an alias pointing to it from my '~/user/Pictures' folder on my boot drive (which it shares with iPhoto Library). I thought alias' were supposed to be transparent to the OS and the other apps would be able to see my 'Aperture Library.aplibrary' as if it were on my primary drive (i.e., the same drive). Is there a permissions thing happening here?
    This one has got me stumped. Any thoughts on why I can't share my Aperture photos with iWork '08 or iLife '08 would be gratefully received.

    Solved it!!!
    I just went a little berserk with the plist files in ~/user/Library/Preferences (sorry, not very scientific....).
    Interestingly, in addition to iWorks and iLife apps having their own preference files, there is also a file called 'com.apple.iApps.plist'. This was locked for some reason. Anyway, it and all the other pref files got trashed and then the trash emptied. Then I restarted my Mac and opened up iPhoto.
    Bingo!
    Same for Pages, etc.
    Thanks to all who took time out of their day to help me -- much appreciated.
