Custom Equalizer Settings: Is this a solution?

Many have complained about how our iPods and iTunes will not save our custom EQ settings. BUT I wonder if this will work.
According to the forum, if the iPod EQ is set to FLAT, then the whatever setting is used for the song in it's original form in iTunes is used....."LIGHT BULB ON!"
So does this mean if I set a custom EQ setting in iTunes, sync the songs, set my iPod's EQ to FLAT, then I have my custom seetings working??
Would anyone from Apple tell me if I am on the right track please? Thanks

No.
If the iPod EQ is set to Flat, it will use the EQ setting for the song as long as it is one of the presets.
Custom EQs are not used by the iPod.

Download custom equalizer settings to ipod?

How can you download custom equalizer settings cereated in iTunes to the iPod?
I created custom equalizer settings and assigned those settings to several songs. iTunes plays the songs with the correct equalizer setting on my computer. But when I download to the iPod, only the preset equalizer settings are available in the menu. I need custom settings to compensate for the earphone frequency response and none of the preset settings even comes close to what is needed.

Copy custom equalizer settings to ipod...

Not a difficult thing to do I would think... have some of the Apple techies update iTunes to export custom equalizer settings to the iPod. Would be a nice touch.

Where are custom equalizer settings saved on windows pc

Where are iTunes custom equalizer settings saved on my Windows 7 hard drive? I always backup the entire iTunes folder and use that to restore everything after reformatting my hard drive. Everything restores EXCEPT the custom equalizer settings. Which file contains my custom EQ settings, and where is it found?

Go to Edit>Preferences>Presets>Show Lightroom Presets Folder.
These folders are usually (see below) actually in the same folder called 'Lightroom' where your catalog lives.
If you back up the entire 'Lightroom' folder they should be there unless you have elected to put the folder elsewhere.
Either way 'Show Lightroom Presets Folder' takes one there.
You can copy and back it up seperately or as part of the greater 'ightroom folder' back up.

Custom Equalizer settings lost

Guys,
I had designed custom equalizer settings for my "tunes" to match my hearing loss. I believe somewhere in updating my iTunes application they were lost. They no longer appear in the selection window of the equalizer. Any body know how to get them back? iTunes v10.1.2. Thanks.

I am having the exact same problem. A number of my older files seem to have kept their custom settings, but not newer ones. I think it may have something to do with the EQ.plist file in the preferences folder in my library.
Does anyone know what the best way of resetting that file is and whether that will fix the problem?

No custom Equalizer settings? Why not?

Well, I've looked everywhere for a place to put this, to suggest this to Apple, but no dice.
Anyways, I bought a 3G iPod Nano a little while back, and while I'm pleased with everything else, the one thing that really bothers me is not being able to adjust the equalizer.
Sure, there's plenty of apple presets but... I really don't like any of them.
I looked it up on the general support section, and it says that you can't use any custom equalizer presets. Uh... why not? Would it really be that hard to implement this option in the software?
I spent ages very carefully adjusting the equalizer on my iTunes, getting it just how I like it to sound. I really wish that I could import even just ONE custom equalizer set onto my iPod.
Other then this, I'm very happy with my iPod. I love Apple's products.
But this is just disappointing.

Hi,
I am disappointed myself when I got the chance to own an iPod Nano 3G. I have other MP3 player, iRiver T60 and iFP-340, and they have been working great. They both have Custom Equalizer setting and an incredible EQ called "SRS WOW Effect - 3D Surround Sound" which produces incredible surround sound, noticeable even with cheap headphones. Personally, I don't think iPod can beat those other two MP3 Players in Sound. However, iPod Nano 3G I have has something better, such as incredibly fast booting up, easy and fast file searching, a small tiny but powerfully bright screen with high resolution, and other good features like Games, Clock, Photo Viewing, etc.
I hope Apple can see the demanding market in better MP3 player with 3D Surround Sound and FM Radio Tuner built-in and make a better iPod that has all of those good features.

Is there a way to import custom equalizer settings to in iPod Touch?

Well, I use a custom equalizer setting on iTunes, and I was wondering if I could import it to my iTouch (3rd Gen, iOS4). Syncing it does not add my custom equalizer setting it to the lists, and I cannot find out how to mess with the equalizer settings on my iTouch. Any help would be loved! <3

Custom EQ's don't transfer to the iPod, sorry.

Custom equalizer settings

I know that the iPod will not use custom built EQ presets - I always wondered why, btw - it can only be a mattter of codingthe right piece of software.
I wonder, however, what happens when I alter the presets delivered - will they be used in the way I changed them on the pod or what exactly happens in that case?
The question might be put a diffferent way: What is it that the pod cannot handle - new entries in the EQ presets list or any settings other than the ones being ddelivered by Apple.
In both cases, as I said - I wondered why the heck Apple pesters us with such nonsesnse. It'd be a far more accurate tool when users would be able to use it freely.

okay, the "legacy" pref files from your itunes 6.0.x days are located here:
C:\Documents and Settings\<username>\Application Data\Apple Computer\iTunes\iTunes.pref
and
C:\Documents and Settings\<username>\Local Settings\Application Data\Apple Computer\iTunes\iTunes.pref
(“<username>” here will be the name of the account you had your itunes library in.)
You might have to turn on "show hidden files" to find them. (Right click "my computer", select open, select Tools menu -> Folder Options. Select View tab, "show hidden files" radio button is in the center scrolling panel.)
the new 7.0.x pref files are the "iTunesPrefs.xml" files you'll see in the two hidden iTunes folders.
soooo ... let's try this. with itunes shut down, get copies of the itunes 6.0.x legacy pref files from the old PC. (be careful to make a note of which is which when you're transporting them.
on the new computer (with itunes) move both the current .xml and any legacy .pref preference files out of their current positions to the desktop. (perhaps into different labelled folders ... we'll keep these there as backups in case anything goes wrong.)
place the .prefs from the old computer into the appropriate folders in the new computer.
now when you launch your itunes again (on the new computer), the itunes set-up assistant will run again. (much like it did the first time you ran itunes after installing it on the new PC.) one of the things that will be happening is that itunes 7 will be converting the .prefs you transferred into fresh .xml files.
once the setup assistant has done its thing ... are the custom preferences from the old PC's itunes now in place in your new PC's itunes?

Custom Equalizer, or how to improve the bass.

I have been looking for a solution how to improve the bass on Ipod. So far no results. I purchased in ear head phones from $40- $250. It doesn't sound like my CD player that has extra bass. And if I jog and earphone don't sit deep inside of my ears, forget it. The other MP3 players have the bass boosters. But I like the Ipod. Is there a solution that I am not aware about?
Thanks,

Thanks for the help guys, but...
The presets in I pod are a joke. I will explain. Did you guys have a home stereo before? I am sure you did. The very cheap unit would come with presets, like jazz, dance, classical and so fort. And it would sound like either not enough treble, or bass. The medium price to expensive units would come with custom equalizer settings to your liking. I pod is not that cheap, $499 I photo 60G. Apple should have made custom settings, like I tunes!!!
Why the custom settings of the songs in I tunes are not transferred to Ipod?
Cheers.

Custom Equalizer on Ipod

Does anyone know if Apple intends to implement custom equalizer settings that can be transferred to the IPod that aren't preset? This isn't something that's difficult to implement and other digital audio players have the ability to do this so why hasn't Apple done this yet?

The best pre-set I've found to accentuate the bass without overextending the highs is the hip-hop setting. The only other usable presets that I've found are Rock and R&B, but they both extend the high-end as well as the bass.
Of course, there is always bass boost, which only touches the low end.

I am having trouble with custom color settings. It randomly reverts back to North American General Purpose without warning. This is a big problem for me. My customers (professional photographers) expect consist colors in my printing. Help!

Do you even know how to nuke and re-set Photoshop's preferences, colorplak? Your last post seems to reveal that you don't understand what I'm talking about. Here's a link you can click on:
Preference file functions, names, locations | Photoshop CC
To re-create the preferences files for Photoshop, start the application while holding down Ctrl+Alt+Shift (Windows) or Command+Option+Shift (Mac OS). Then, click Yes to the message, "Delete the Adobe Photoshop Settings file?"
Note: If this process doesn't work for you while you're using a wireless (bluetooth) keyboard, attach a wired keyboard and retry.
Important: If you re-create the preferences by deleting the Adobe Photoshop CC Settings file, make sure that you only delete that file. If you delete the entire settings folder, you also delete any unsaved actions or presets.
Reinstalling Photoshop does not remove the preferences file. Before reinstalling Photoshop, re-create your preferences.
Note for Photoshop 14.1 and later: If you use Generator and reset your Preferences, Generator is disabled. Choose Preferences > Plug-ins to turn it back on.
Video: Julieanne Kost created a video that takes you through two ways of resetting your Photoshop preferences. The manual preference file removal method is between 0:00 - 5:05. The keyboard shortcut method is between 5:05 - 8:18. The video is located here.
Mac OS
Important: Apple made the user library folder hidden by default with the release of Mac OS X 10.7. If you require access to files in the hidden library folder to perform Adobe-related troubleshooting, see How to access hidden user library files.

Please confirm that firefox 2.0 will allow custom network settings (IPv4). A moderator (guigs2) response implied this was the case.

Custom network settings are not an option in firefox os 1.3. A moderator (guigs2) stated that it would possibly be supplied in 2.0. I use openDNS to filter my child's internet use which require these settings.
If 2.0 will not have this feature, can I alter the network settings through the host file, and if so how?
Thank you in advance for your help.

Thank you for the prompt reply. Basically, opendns replaces the default dns server provided by the isp. This is done by specifying "address only" for the DHCP. Hopefully the attached image will be more helpful than my description!
The image is of network connection settings in a desktop computer, but android and iphone have similar menus when "modify network" is selected by long pressing the network name in android or by tapping the arrow next to the name on an iphone or ipad. (The image should have the box checked "require IPv4 address...")
OpenDNS sports 50 million users, 2% of all internet requests, and 1/3 of U.S. schools use openDNS for their security. Thank you for your time and effort to help a concerned parent who wants to avoid google and apple products and support the open source community.

HT4199 I have a new iPhone 4s. I have a home wi-fi network using Cisco Linksys2000 router with all settings per this article - phone will not see network if set to 5 GHz channel width - solution?? 2.4 works but is not optimal with other devices in home

I have a new iPhone 4s. I have a home wi-fi network using Cisco Linksys2000 router with all settings per this article - phone will not see network if set to 5 GHz channel width - solution?? 2.4 works but is not optimal with other devices in home (computers; tivo). Have others seen this? Any advice is much appreciated.

Stephen Spark is right - your best alternative is to use a simultaneous dual band wireless router like the AirPort Extreme. Your Cisco Linksys2000 is not a dual band router, meaning that it will be constrained to operate at the slowest speed of all the devices on your network.
The AirPort Extreme's dual networks will support all your 802.11n devices as well as all your 802.11b/g devices on both the 2.4 and 5 GHz frequencies simultaneously.

GPM Custom GPO-Settings: An error occurred while generating report: Object reference not set to an instance of an object.

Hello,
As you can tell from the title of this question, I am no expert with GPO's. Before I begin, I spent a few minutes to an hour searching and reading in hopes of finding the solution and avoid putting myself out there as a "GPO Newb". While
I found several posts and answers that were similar and were related, the questions and answers were more advanced and did present the solutions providing the person had initial knowledge already. That is not necessarily my case and I would ask for a
little patience and a bit of 'hand-holding' for what I need.
I run SBS 2011, and in Group Policy Management I have a custom GPO. In this GPO I define all my settings. I understand this may not be the best or most practical method of applying policies, but I am not very strict and have few settings. This
policy existed prior to my joining the company, and was migrated in to this SBS '11 from SBS '03. That may be the issue, but before making any changes I am seeking expert advice.
When I select that GPO, named "Main GPO", and click on the tab at the top "Settings" I see the error: "An error occurred while generating report: Object reference not set to an instance of an object."
I saw that when I right click the GPO > View > Options and select the tab "Reporting" that it states that for reporting to work the location of the .adm files must be specified. I see that my option for the location is set to "Default"
which by my guessing would be located in the C:\Windows\sysvol directory. Below is what I see there:
C:\Windows\sysvol\domain
C:\Windows\sysvol\staging
C:\Windows\sysvol\staging areas
C:\Windows\sysvol\sysvol
I think the problem is that my custom GPO are not inside the default location, which I speculate is: C:\Windows\sysvol\domain\policies (which I do see some objects there).
But instead I also see items in this folder: C:\Windows\sysvol\sysvol\JOHN.LOCAL\policies (while where I just typed 'JOHN.LOCAL' is my actual local domain).
To further this, when I edit that custom GPO, then at the very top of the tree I right click on it and select Properties, I see a Unique Name listed there as a long string of numbers and letters, similar to a registry entry. I searched my server for
that same Unique Name and found it listed inside the folder: C:\Windows\sysvol\domain\policies
If I am correct with my assumption and basic knowledge, I should move all objects as follows:
-Move FROM: C:\Windows\sysvol\domain\policies
-Move TO: C:\Windows\sysvol\sysvol\JOHN.LOCAL\policies
My concerns are that I am not correct at all, that I will break something, that there may be an easier fix than moving anything, or that I am overlooking something causing this error altogether.
Thank you for anyone's help and time with assisting me with this request.

> top "Settings" I see the error: "An error occurred while generating

That's due to a security setting (most possibly) your current OS does
not understand. Hard to find out wich exact setting it is... To resolve
this issue, we need the gtpptmpl.inf file residing in the policiy's
sysvol folder. To open this folder, edit the policy, move to computer
settings - policies - windows settings - scripts - startup, press "show
files". Then move two folders upwards and back down to
.\microsoft\windows nt\secedit. There you'll see the gpttmpl.inf - post
its contents and we'll have a look at it.

That's perfectly ok - JOHN.LOCAL in fact is a symlink pointing to "domain".
> all objects as follows:
> -Move FROM: C:\Windows\sysvol\domain\policies
> -Move TO: C:\Windows\sysvol\sysvol\JOHN.LOCAL\policies
No.

Where does iTunes store the custom EQ settings on my hard drive? (OSX 10.6)

Bought a new Mac. I moved over my iTunes library via export and then import. The songs are on an external drive. Everything went perfectly... except for my custom EQ settings.
The songs still have the custom EQs, but the equalizer itself doesn't have those settings anymore.
For example: for quiet songs, I have a custom EQ called "+6" that boosts the overall volume by 6db (far left EQ slider). If I click Get Info on a song with that custom EQ, I can see that it's still there (in the song's info, I mean), but the EQ itself is missing all of my custom EQs.
I have a full backup of my previous hard drive (not to mention that I still have the old Mac). Where can I find those EQ settings? Surely they're in a file somewhere, right?

The last time I did a clean install of Windows on my PC, I backed up the entire iTunes folder on a separate HD partition. After reinstalling iTunes, I copied the iTunes folder back to the C drive and all of the many EQ presets I had created were restored, along with the music. That was in late 2011. I came to the conclusion that this was how you back up the custom EQ settings.
I guess I made a mistake by assuming it would work again this time. Did I? I repeated the process today when I reinstalled Windows, and all the presets I had created did not get restored and now seem to be gone... Is there any way to recover them?
I spent a lot of time tweaking the different frequencies to get them just right and hope to not have to repeat that process.
All of the settings were created using the custom presets, and not on individual MP3 tracks themselves.
(iTunes version just installed: 11.0.2.26)
