Data dvd from mac to pc. PLEASE HELP!
Hi,
I recently burned a data dvd with about 15 hours of music through iTunes on my Powerbook and tried to open it with iTunes for windows on a dell laptop.
The dvd shows in the side bar, along with all the song titles, but they cannot be imported or played. Viewing the dvd itself and clicking on it's files opens iTunes but does not play them. The mp3 files on the disc open, play, and can be added to the library but the m4as cannot! I thought m4a's were the iTunes standard! Does anyone know why these files won't play or import into the library?
I was thinking that maybe there was an issue recognizing the files in windows, or a licensing issue maybe? Any thoughts?
Thanks,
Daniel
Yes, actually I have had some success. Dell Music jukebox seems to copy all the mp3 files (which I didn't want it to do). I managed to get the files onto the computer by dragging (copying) them into a file on the desktop, and then using "Add to Library" as you noted. This works for mp3 and m4a files, and iTunes is able to read both.
There are a few problems I have encountered with this method.
1) Friends who've tried this and added the files sometimes give iTunes the file path back ot the dvd... i.e. when the dvd is removed the files can't be found by iTunes. Removing the dvd before hand, checking the files on the desktop (to ensure thay can play), and then adding them seems to prevent this issue.
2) Also, something that I read in another post in this forum, windows has issues with filenames containing certain punctuation. The post I read said "?" could not be included, but I only had problems with "/".
I have also noted that the laptop only detects the dvd sporadically. At one point it was not showing even in the My Computer menu.
On two dell laptops of the same model, one detected the dvd in the iTunes sidebar and the other did not.
I'm not sure what the issue here is, but I think we'll probably just have to use our ways around it and hope a future software update helps.

Data DVD from iTunes not working - please help
I burned a 4 GB playlist as a data DVD from iTunes 7.
I am trying to put the files on a PC running iTunes 7, and NOTHING is happening. The drive in the PC is DVD-rom and all other DVD's work fine.
What's the deal?What is "Adding to library"?
Huh?
This is how you get songs into iTunes.
Open iTunes.
Inset the DVD.
Go to File -> Add File (or folder) to iTunes and select the files/folders on the DVD.
The DVD is not going to show up in iTunes because it is not an audio CD. It is a data DVD.
Do not try to Import the DVD because Import is used for audio CDs only. -
Data DVD from Mac shows up blank in Windows!
Hi,
burned a couple of DVDs now from the Mac desktop with various files on them. On my PC the DVD spins up but Windows shows the disk as being empty. Any thoughts on what is happening here?So put the affected discs back in your Mac.. let them mount.. then get info on the disc from Finder. What filesystem was it burned with. You should also be able to do this in Disk Utility.
If it says HFS or HFS+ then it will not mount in Windows.
Fat32 or UDF (preferred) is required for Windows.
Try burning the data disc from Disk Utility with the correct format ISO-9660 or DVD-UDF. -

My iphone 5 was recently stolen. I had the service shut off, but I don't know how to remotely wipe out my data from my phone! Please help!!
YOu can only do that if you had find my iphone setup and activated prior to having your phone stolen.
Then you log into icloud.com to remote wipe, but your phone has to be connect to wifi or cellular data to do that. -
I have tried updating my apps and software but it says my startup disk or hard disk is full. I deleted a lot of files and apps but they won't be erased from the trash. Please help.
For information about the Other category in the Storage display, see this support article. If the display seems to be inaccurate, try rebuilding the Spotlight index.
Empty the Trash if you haven't already done so. If you use iPhoto, empty its internal Trash first:
iPhoto ▹ Empty Trash
In Photos:
File ▹ Show Recently Deleted ▹ Delete All
Do the same in other applications, such as Aperture, that have an internal Trash feature. Then restart the computer. That will temporarily free up some space.
According to Apple documentation, you need at least 9 GB of available space on the startup volume (as shown in the Finder Info window) for normal operation—not the mythical 10%, 15%, or any other percentage. You also need enough space left over to allow for growth of the data. There is little or no performance advantage to having more available space than the minimum Apple recommends. Available storage space that you'll never use is wasted space.
When Time Machine backs up a portable Mac, some of the free space will be used to make local snapshots, which are backup copies of recently deleted files. The space occupied by local snapshots is reported as available by the Finder, and should be considered as such. In the Storage display of System Information, local snapshots are shown as Backups. The snapshots are automatically deleted when they expire or when free space falls below a certain level. You ordinarily don't need to, and should not, delete local snapshots yourself. If you followed bad advice to disable local snapshots by running a shell command, you may have ended up with a lot of data in the Other category. Ask for instructions in that case.
See this support article for some simple ways to free up storage space.
You can more effectively use a tool such as OmniDiskSweeper (ODS) or GrandPerspective (GP) to explore the volume and find out what's taking up the space. You can also delete files with it, but don't do that unless you're sure that you know what you're deleting and that all data is safely backed up. That means you have multiple backups, not just one. Note that ODS only works with OS X 10.8 or later. If you're running an older OS version, use GP.
Deleting files inside a photo or iTunes library will corrupt the library. Changes to such a library must be made from within the application that created it. The same goes for Mail files.
Proceed further only if the problem isn't solved by the above steps.
ODS or GP can't see the whole filesystem when you run it just by double-clicking; it only sees files that you have permission to read. To see everything, you have to run it as root.
Back up all data now.
Install the app in the Applications folder as usual. Quit it if it's running.
Triple-click anywhere in the corresponding line of text below on this page to select it, then copy the selected text to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C.
For ODS:
security execute-with-privileges /A*/OmniDiskSweeper.app/*/M*/* 2>&-
For GP:
security execute-with-privileges /A*/GrandPerspective.app/*/M*/* 2>&-
Launch the built-in Terminal application in any of the following ways:
☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
☞ Open LaunchPad and start typing the name.
Paste into the Terminal window by pressing command-V. You'll be prompted for your login password.
The application window will open behind other open windows. When you scan a volume, the window will eventually show all files in all folders, sorted by size. It may take a few minutes for the app to finish scanning.
I don't recommend that you make a habit of doing this. Don't delete anything as root. If something needs to be deleted, make sure you know what it is and how it got there, and then delete it by other, safer, means. When in doubt, leave it alone or ask for guidance.
When you're done with the app, quit it and also quit Terminal. -
I am transmitting data over internet and WiFi ,it's working fine with Internet but when I choose WiFi for data transmission data is not being transmitted. What may be the possible issues of data transmission failure over WiFi? Please help me....
Thanks in Advance.
Neeraj@iDevAfter a week's worth of debugging, I found the issue.
The Java type returned from the call was defined as ArrayList. Changing it to List resolved the problem.
I'm not sure why ArrayList isn't a valid return type, I've been looking at the Adobe docs, and still can't see why this isn't valid. And, why it works in Debug mode and not in Release build is even stranger. Maybe someone can shed some light on the logic here to me. -
Hey, I wanna download Lion for free, so i need UP-TO-DATE , but it do not works , please help
Hey, I wanna download Lion for free, so i need UP-TO-DATE , but it do not works , please help
I think you misunderstood the guy. The up-to-date program isn't working for a lot of people. I'm eligible for the free upgrade but it fails to recognise my serial. From what I've read, this is affecting a lot of people who purchased their computers online. Apple seems to be fixing the issue though, so my advice would be to keep trying. Alternatively, click on the manual verificaton link so they can check your order for you and send the redemption code after they do.

After iPhoto quit unexpectedly, the last 5 months of photos disappeared from my library. Please help! I can't find them anywhere.
You're using iPhoto 6?
Try these in order - from best option on down...
1. Do you have an up-to-date back up? If so, try copy the library6.iphoto file from the back up to the iPhoto Library allowing it to overwrite the damaged file.
2. Download <a href="http://www.fatcatsoftware.com/iplm/"><b><u>iPhoto Library Manager</b></u></a> and use its rebuild function. This will create a new library based on data in the albumdata.xml file. Not everything will be brought over - no slideshows, books or calendars, for instance - but it should get all your albums and keywords back.
Because this process creates an entirely new library and leaves your old one untouched, it is non-destructive, and if you're not happy with the results you can simply return to your old one.
3. If neither of these work then you'll need to create and populate a new library.
To create and populate a new *iPhoto 6* library:
Note this will give you a working library with the same Rolls and pictures as before, however, you will lose your albums, keywords, modified versions, books, calendars etc.
Move the iPhoto Library to the desktop
Launch iPhoto. It will ask if you wish to create a new Library. Say Yes.
Go into the iPhoto Library on your desktop and find the Originals folder. From the Originals folder drag the individual Roll Folders to the iPhoto Window and it will recreate them in the new library.
When you're sure all is well you can delete the iPhoto Library on your desktop.
In the future, in addition to your usual back up routine, you might like to make a copy of the library6.iPhoto file whenever you have made changes to the library as protection against database corruption. -
HT1451 Music has completely disappeared from ITunes library! Please Help!!
Music has completely disappeared from ITunes library! Please Help!!
Hours and Hours of renaming, adding cover photos and so on have been for nothing. Itunes cannot find the files since they're not in the library at all!
I still have the music on my computer but don't want to add it as it is, as I have spent a lot of time "fixing" it! PLEASE HELP!Did you use spotlight to search? (I'm assuming you have a Mac as given above despite this thread being in the Windows forum). How long have you used iTunes on this computer? Is there a backup to your library, perhaps an only copy of it on a machine you've "retired". Is the media present in the media folder? (Yes, you've answered that earlier.) If so then the media files should have absorbed all the tag changes that you made and reimporting the media into a new library might not be a complete disaster, though playlists, playcounts, ratings etc. would be irretrievably lost.

If you had installed iOS 7 it would be Activation locked, but I see you only have iOS 5. You do have a backup of you iPad files on your computer or iCloud, don't you?
If the iPad was running iOS 7, the thief/finder will not ever be able to use it.

how do i deactivate the auto updation on my iphone 4,i want to use only watsapp but when i am turning on my celleular data all apps starts updating theirself,please help me.I am not using any internet pack other than watsapp.
iPhone do not do automatic update. You have to manually trigger the updates.
If your Settings > iTunes & App Stores > Automatic Downloads > Music, Apps, Books are ON then when you purchase any new content/item with any devices/computer iTunes, it will automatically download. Switch it OFF if you do not want that to happen.
