"Create ACC Version" without files being saved in iTunes?

Hi, I want to create ACC versions of all the songs in of my iTunes library to put on my external hard drive. The problem is, once i create the ACCs, they're saved in iTunes, so now i have 2 different formats of every song. I have changed the iTunes media folder location to save on my external hard drive, but i still end up with duplicates for some reason. Is there a way to create the ACC versions without them being saved in iTunes? Thanks.

Then create one using "Kind" as a criteria. You can set it to include only ACC files (you can use "Get Info" on a file to examine details and identify what the field values are).

"Create alternate versions without using extra disk space" Really?

"Create alternate versions without using extra disk space" says Apple. But is that really true? Because, from what I understand, for Aperture's OS Integration (with the Media Browser) to work, Aperture has to render Previews of all your photos first. So, any alternate versions that you create, do exist on your Hard Drive in the form of an actual file (e.g. a JPEG).

As Ian notes, it's smaller than a RAW - also smaller than an alternate PSD you might make, or duplicating a background layer in a PSD.
Also though, you don't have to have previews for everything - I find what I do is leave automatic preview generation turned off and then just generate previews for images that I like the end result of. This lets you explore alternate versions with essentially no addition space used.

How do I revert to replaced audio files being saved with the project file, *not* with the original audio files?

In the latest release, when you send an audio clip to Audition, the newly created audio clip - which was previously saved in the same folder as the project file - is saved next to the original audio file.
Makes sense, but for reasons to boring to go into, it's a major headache for my workflow, because it means combing through folders to find the files, instead of having them all in once place.
So how to I turn this off and revert to those files being saved next to the project file?

Hey Steve,
You'll want to connect your phone to your computer and sync it in iTunes. You can read more about it here:

My 5C has just done the most recent update, yet I can't turn it on without it being plugged into iTunes through a laptop. However, I don't have iTunes on my laptop because it's my school one. Ideas please?

If you are seeing the USB cord and iTunes icons on your screen something has gone wrong with the update. You will have to restore your iPhone. The only way to do this is to connect the phone to your computer that is running iTunes.

Creating new versions and file size?

Hello. My understanding is creating new versions in Aperture consumes very little file space (i.e., for adjustments, etc). I'm finding I like to have the "create new version" property enabled so I can have multiple choices in a stack per image in my projects.
Can someone please confirm this? I don't want to waste a bunch of space if I don't have to.
Thanks!

all that is done when creating a new version is a "sidecar" file that gives aperture instructions on what and how to convert ...
so, it consumes very little space ... go ahead and version away ... this is really a key feature to aperture ... with iphoto, every new version was an actual new file as well ...

Files being saved when i don't save them

I was browinf thought my finder the other day, and found several things (electric bill PDF, etc), that I had viewed, but NOT saved, that were saved to my computer anyway. Wnyone know why this happened? I don't want everything little thing I look at being saved, when i don't need it.

What's beeping? The MainStage instrument or the keyboard?
Normally a keyboard sends a simple Note Off command when a key is released. Have you looked at the MIDI info coming into MainStage to see if that is what is being received, and to make sure the MK425 is not programmed to send something else when a key is released?

How to create custom Ringtones (m4r files) from Songs in iTunes

Jakarta, 14 June 2013
On Mac OS : 10.7.5 (Lion)
On iTunes : 11.0.4
Difficulty : intermediate - hard
Assuming you know basic Ctrl+Click and Option+Drag...
Full correct steps should be like this :
1) Select a favourite song in iTunes program to be made into Ringtone...
2) "Get Info" on that song name and make any 0:30 seconds portion of that song....
(specify "Start" & "Stop" time - under "Options" – to any 30-seconds duration and click OK)
3) Right-click or Ctrl-Click again on same song name and select "Create AAC Version" to create an .m4a file...
(when done iTunes will create a Chime)
4) to locate the created .m4a file easily, Ctrl-Click again on same song name and select "Show in Finder" from the pop-up list...
(iTunes will automatically point the folder location of the original .mp3 & the newly created .m4a files... keep this window open for later...)
5) change the .m4a file to .m4r as suggested...
(rename to whatever you like but you must change the extension to .m4r)
6) At this point, the m4r(original) file isn't a "Ringtone" file yet... which we'll need to change now...)
(check under "Get Info" > "Kind" : it's still "Apple MPEG-4 Audio")
...1st by dragging that newly changed .m4r(ori) file to somewhere out of that same default folder it was created by iTunes...
{ this is where most confusions occur, take note here, it gets rather complicated }
7) Once it's outside of that folder, Double Click the m4r(ori) file and iTunes will play...
(u can stop it immediately...) this is just to let iTunes automatically convert that m4r(ori) file into a new duplicate & places it inside the initial default folder where the original .mp3 file is kept... we kept the window open previously, remember?
8) Locate that duplicate .m4r(new & true) file, in that same .mp3 folder and now DUPLICATE-Drag (press Option while dragging to get the "+" sign) it to the "TONES" folder in your default apple folder structure. (check under "Get Info", this .m4r(new) File's "Kind" should be "Ringtone")
//to get to that "TONES" Folder : First Locate your iTunes default Music Folder in your Mac --> usually it's in your Default "MUSIC" folder --> Navigate to "iTunes Media" --> Navigate to "Tones". !! Keep this window open to make the transfer manually !!
9) Once your duplicate is placed inside the "Tones" folder, double-click on that duplicate .m4r(true) file and let iTunes play, it should automatically place that ringtone file into the "Ringtone" sidebar List in the iTunes program... (check program to see)
Somehow u needed both duplicates : 1 – inside the default initial .mp3 folder & 1 – inside the Tones Folder which we Duplicate+Drag into... and both must be "Ringtone" – Kind... for this to work.
10) There you go. Now you can Sync / Delete / Add the whole Ringtone contents to your iPhone as you wish.
//Don't forget to set SYNC ON under the iphone "Tones" tab in your iTunes - iPhone screen... and click big SYNC button at the bottom of iTunes program & wait for the magic.
( Finally you can check inside your iPhone "Sounds" settings and hopefully if all steps done correctly, the bloodycomplicatedringtone selection will be there. Enjoy!

Hi --
I'm using iTunes 11.0.4 on OSX 10.8.4 and am having a hard time following your instructions to create a ringtone from a snippet of a .mp3 file using iTunes:
1) Select a favourite song in iTunes program to be made into Ringtone... CHECK!
2) "Get Info" on that song name and make any 0:30 seconds portion of that song.... CHECK !
3) Right-click or Ctrl-Click again on same song name and select "Create AAC Version" to create an .m4a file... PROBLEM!
It's when I hit Step 3 that I have a problem -- my "right click menu" at that point looks like this:
There's no option to "create AAC version." Nor does this option appear anywhere in iTunes that I can find.
It really shouldn't be this confusing to create a freaking ringtone. HELP PLEASE!

Setting bitrate in Create ACC version

I am preparing some material for a presentation and the organization specifies that my audio files must be at a bitrate of 128 (sample rate 44.100).
When I create the ACC it show at a bitrate of 256 (VBR). Is there a way of creating the AAC so I am sure that it is at a rate of 128.
If I-Tunes won't do it, what will?
Thanks,
maestrogn

Premiere creates garbage zero-byte file while saving, project file dissapears/corrupts

Hi guys,
I've been experiencing a strange intermittent technical problem with Premiere project saves (and sometimes After Effects project files).
Case:
- Editor opens a project.
- After a moment, as editor hits 'save'.
- A strangely named file appears in the save location with no extension (a long string of characters separated by hyphons).
- Sometimes, this garbage file disappears and project is saved. Other times, this file remains and original project file disappears and the editor doesn't even know!
- If editor hits save again, a message box appears saying the file has been modified since last save - hit cancel or OK.
This issue has meant that we've lost project files, and have had to recover them from auto-save and/or Creative Cloud sync folder.
Sometimes it saves ok!
This is what the strange file looks like.
I don't know if this issue is related to Adobe software, Mac os or Linux but we've only run into it while using Adobe software.
Sometimes, After Effects throws an error related to this as well, forcing you to either 'save as', or incremental save.
It's a networked editing environment - all clients are Mavericks macs, working from a Ubuntu Linux server via SMB via gigabit ethernet. All clients are authenticated to the server as the same Admin user. Directory and Create masks are 0755 in SMB settings. SMB.conf also has some tuning parameters: socket options = TCP_NODELAY IPTOS_LOWDELAY SO_RCVBUF=65536 SO_SNDBUF=65536
Op-locks are disabled at server-side (I thought it could be to do with oplocks).
Does anyone have any ideas?
Or perhaps someone could explain to me the behind-the-scenes process that happens when Premiere executes a save?

Glad to hear it's not me going crazy, but unglad that you're experiencing it!
Recently we replaced SMB with NFS as the protocol for sharing our main raid volume and cache, and since then this issue no longer happens.
This definitely points to the way Adobe apps with with SMB. I have a feeling it's something to do with oplocks or something behind the scenes that denies PP access to the project file for overwriting it.
TBH, as a bonus NFS feels like a rocketship to planet editor-bliss. It's a proper beast. Unfortunately I'm not sure how good the Windows implementation is (I know certainly that only windows 7/8 enterprise clients are able to access NFS shares, which is a bummer for most).

Corrupted files being saved over network

I have a Macbook Pro 17" 2008 model and I am having some interesting issues that i can't seem to find the answer for. I switched offices recently and am now plugged in directly via Ethernet cable to our main Cisco router instead of a small under the desk hub shared by 3 computers, that iu used to use with no issues. Since i moved i am having trouble with files getting corrupted when i save to the XP server (peer to peer).
For example in InDesign CS3 i save a file and it will crash InDesign then corrupt the file. If i work on my hard drive, there are no issues. This week it started happening to Excel CSV files. I save them and open them no problem, but when they are used in any of our software on other computers that imports CSV files, they do not recognize the files as CSV.
Yesterday I downloaded some CSV files from an offsite FTP and saved to the server. I did not open them, but they had some weird additional characters in them, that showed up in our other software. I went on a PC downloaded them again and the CSV were fine. So i am starting to think it is some sort of network connection glitch.
Just wondering if any one has any ideas? It is getting to be a bigger and bigger problem each day.
Thanks in advance.

These days programs have safe guards in them to stop loading a file that they cannot. Adobe products in particular I know should give you a message that they cannot read this file. How are you downloading these files from the server? What service or protocol?

How can I know if I can update my Ipad 2 without it being locked by itunes ?

I want to update my Ipad,
Can I normaly update it on Itunes, or it may lock it afterwards ? (Like for some of the Iphones, when you update them, they will lock )
If it may lock, how can i check ?
Thanks

You don't have to worry about your device being locked as long as it isn't jailbroken. If it is, you should probably update with the next version of the jailbreak software from where you got it from. Otherwise, the update should not lock out your device as long as you let it update without any interruption (ie you don't unplug it while updating).

Captured photos are not being saved - occasionally...

Hi,
I own a month-old Lumia 830.
It took me a while before finding out that many of my photos that I took on many occasions are not saving, even though the screen is showing the word 'saving'.
I usually do not necessarily preview the photos each time I snap a few; it's not until I attempt to preview after few days. Therefore, that is why I did not know I actually have been having an issue with this phone's camera. I am using the original microSD that came included inside this phone. By the way, sometimes after snapping a photo or try previewing it right after it, the phone takes out of the camera mode, and back to the Home screen.
Anyone else is having the same issue or knowing what to do?
Thanks!

Hi,
Here is my feedback so far.
The soft resetting did not exhibit any effect at all, including whether or not I selected the option to save on SD or Phone either.
What I found interesting, there are actually two camera applications in this phone. 1. that is the one included by default in the Home page, which starts also when one physically presses the side camera button, it is labeled 'Nokia Camera'; 2. is another camera interface I have discovered when I was scrolling through the listing of application titles already installed by default on this phone, which it is called 'Camera' .
Each one seemingly execute a different GUI - mid you, I am not sure why would Nokia includes (2) camera applications - maybe a contingency plan for individuals like me!
So I ran the 'Camera' application, which is different from the 'Nokia Camera', I was able to snap dozens of photos without a glitch, all were saved on the SD. But then when I reverted back to 'Nokia Camera', I was able to snap up to 4 photos only (some of which I was only able to retrieve/preview not without first navigating to 'Nokia Camera>Settings> clicking on 'Find photos and videos shot with Nokia Camera', while the fifth kept on showing 'savig.....' endlessly, without ever being saved or found. I have tried the same scenario dozens of times - same result. The only way I was able to get out of this screen was by pressing the back button.Yet when I went back using the 'other' Camera only application, there was no problem taking 10-20 photos. They were all saved on the SD/Phone regardless.
This morning I tried both applications again, but for some odd reason, I was able to snap a dozen photos using both applications without any issue.
I am puzzled - both versions are working fine (for now) - but who knows for how long.
Thanks everyone for your insights!
