Export a playlist (to Desktop or Document Folder. Convert from AAC to MP3
It seems that in an earlier version of Itunes I was able to export a playlist (a list of song names of a CD I had just burned), and then import that list ito a CD label printing program (Discus, epson;s Print CD). This capability saves a ton of keystrokes and , to me, seems like a fairly simple capability to include in Itunes.
Also I would like to know if there is a way to convert audio (AAC ?) files to MP3 three files (for files that are already in your Itunes library?
1. You can select a playlist and use File > Library > Export Playlist to get a text file.

Why won't my playlists convert from aac to mp3
Hi,
Never had to use the forum before as I've always previosuly been able to figure most stuff out that I needed to do, but I recently converted my whole music library from AAC format to MP3 (so that I can burn an MP3 disc to play in my car) with no problem using the "Advanced" tab and "Convert to MP3 format" tab.
(I've also changed my settings now so that all downloads are set to MP3 as well to stop this happening ever again!.)
However, I then tried to do the same for my playlists, but it just doesn't work for those using the "Convert to MP3 format" facility - even though it doers actually give the impression of doing so. i.e. It appears to be converting the songs and I even get a confimation tone when it's suppossedly finished converting the playlist, but the playlist still shows it's "Kind" as AAC, and hasn't converted it at all!
The only way that I can find to do it is to delete the playlist (after printing out a copy of the playlist) and then manually re-creating the whole playlist again by dragging each song individually from the library! Which I obviously don't really want to do as I've got a lot of playlists and that would be very laborious and would quite frankly be a ridiclous thing to have to do again (especially after doing it already for the library).
Am I missing something here, expecting too much or just being thick?? Any one have a solution for this please?Thank you, absolutely brilliant, I knew there had to be an easier way to do this!!! And also thank you so much for the really quick response too!
It took me less than a minute to do this for the first playlist and I'll now easily be able to do the same for all the other playlists - saving me potentially hours if I'd had to do it using the other way.
In case anyone is unaware, there is one further little tip once you have converted the playlist from AAC to MP3 and sorted by "Date Added". Press and hold Shift, then highlight (the first song) and scroll to the last song (which will then highlight all the songs that you've just converted) and then simply drag them to a new playlist - voila, job done! -
How can i convert from alac to mp3 and export to artist/album hierarchy
I am trying to populate a 32GB SD Card with music to listen to in my car. My itunes library is largely in apple lossless format, but the car stereo does not play that format.
I have created a playlist of all of the music I'd like to have on the SD Card (but its in apple lossless format).
So what I'd like to do is:
a) Bulk convert a large number of apple lossless files to MP3.
b) Export the MP3 files to an external Finder folder, organized in Artist/Album hierarchy
c) Delete the MP3 files from the itunes library so as to have just the apple lossless version maintain in the itunes library
Sounds pretty simple, but I'm having a devil of a time trying to figure it out.
I can find a way to do the conversion and export the MP3 files (and subsequently deleted from the itunes library), but they will not be organized by Artist/Album in the Finder folder.
Similarly, I can export a bunch of files from itunes to a Finder folder and have it be organized by Artist/Album.
I just can't do one followed by the other.
I suppose this would also work if instead of exporting the newly created MP3 files, it would establish a new playlist in itunes with these. Then, I could just export them and have them then organized by Artist/Album; and then I could delete all of the MP3 files in the playlist.
Any thoughts or ideas on how to accomplish this goal? (I do know the manual way of doing this, but am trying to figure out a faster, more elegant way).
MI ask because you wrote, "I just can't do one followed by the other".
You can. Just do one followed by the other.
Convert the files to mp3.
Put them all into a playlist. A smart playlist with Kind is MP3 and added in last one day will do it for you.
Select the songs in teh smart playlist
Run Export to Album Folders script.
Select all the songs in the playlist then Command Delete to remove them from iTunes. -
Modifying a word document once converted FROM PDF
I am able to successfully convert a document to word from PDF after using ExportPDF. I can open it and everything looks fine but I am unamble to modify. Meaning, I need to complete the document electronically and I am unable to do so. I am not that technical so I just need basic instruction.
ThanksHello David, thank you for the reply, it is a nice suggestion you gave. I should ask the question from Microsoft, they must have the answer. I have one more question. I would be very nice if you could help me with that too. Here is the link:

Issue has only popped up recently and cannot reproduce in a Test environment. Unaware of any SharePoint changes, so hoping someone can point me in the correct direction.
Previously Word document did not have to be physically checked out, but rather the editing of the doc also checked out the doc in a document library. This is the way we want it to remain –
no manual check-out process. Now if a doc is edited without being checked-out, there is an issue with the process as the application thinks the doc is read-only (message received when trying to save the doc) even if enable editing is selected. The
following message appears when you try to save the document:
This message can appear if you have been editing a file that was opened as read-only. A file opened as read-only will have (Read-Only) appended to the file name as it appears in the title bar of Word. You can still save the document, but you must
save it by using a different file name. If you use Windows Explorer to change the read-only properties of the file, while the file is open in Word, it will not enable Word to save the file. Word must open a non-read-only version of the file in order to save
it by using its original file name. If you have not made any changes to the file, you can close it, and then use the following steps to make the file writeable. 1. Click the File tab, and then click Open. 2. Browse to the file and right-click it. 3. Click
Properties, and then clear the Read-Only check box. 4. Reopen the file. If you have made changes to a read-only file, you can save it, and then use the following steps to give the modified file the original file name. 1. Click the File tab, and then click
Save As. 2. Enter a different file name, and then click Save. 3. NOTE: Adding "Rev1", or "Mod1" to the original file name may help you to remember it later. 4. Click the File tab, and then click Close. 5. Open Windows Explorer. 6. Browse
to the original read-only file. 7. Rename the read-only file. 8. Browse to the new file. 9. Rename the new file to the name of the original file. Do not delete the read-only file until after you have determined you no longer need it.
Previously, when check-out was optional, a file was checked out automatically when someone opened it for editing, unless it was already checked out. The editing commands notified the User that the file is being/was checked out. The real issue is the
word doc can no longer be saved as the application still believes the doc is read-only.Hi,
According to your description, you give the domain admin full control over files on the old file server, but you cannot move the files to the new file server. After pull the files from the old to the new file server, the domain admin can only read the files
on the new file server.
How did you move the files from the old file server to the new file server? Did you setup replication between the two file server or use robocopy?
Please check the files permissions on the new file server to see if the permissions are changed, then share the folder on the new file server to everyone to see the result.

After converting and dowloading that converted file from a Adobe PDF file to a word document I then open the word document to see a message stateing

The error message you were receiving occurs when you try to convert a dynamic PDF file created with Adobe LiveCycle Designer. This file is usually already a fillable form. Unfortunately there is no workaround available for converting documents like this within the ExportPDF service.
I'm sorry for the inconvenience.
Please let me know if you have any questions or if I can be of further assistance.

Say we have a few OU's, each OU will only have 1 active user at any given time. Lets call it OU: A,B,C,D. When a person leaves, I want the new user to be able to access all of the same desktop/documents of the previous user. I don't want to have to come
in and copy the desktop/my documents folder each time for this.
Say if User in OU "A" leaves and there's a temp/replacement, can I just copy the existing user's profile and create a new one in OU A and have the new user be able to log in with their new account but have all the desktops and my documents
of the previous user. Of course if this can be achieved, even when the machine gets replaced, the desktops/my documents are there.
At the moment, we have shared folder for those groups of people but we're not enforcing them to save to the mapped drive. Lots of them have no idea what a mapped drive is. :( I want to simplify this process and get away with spending hours of backing up/restoring
people's my documents and desktops when they come and go.
DannyHi,
I don't think we can set multiple users to a same redirected folder.
Under Basic - Redirect everyone's folder to the same location, there is only one option seems close to your purpose which is "Redirect to the following location". However to get it work, the user need to be the owner of the target folder, and it will not
work even we set Everyone as the Owner.
Meanwhile I do not understand why you would like to share a redirected Desktop with all users. If you would like to share files or folders, you can map a folder for all users. If you would like to publish applications to all users, you can deploy application
through Group Policy.
If you have any feedback on our support, please send to [email protected]
Yes you can and I confirm this works. The key is to uncheck
"grant user exclusive rights"
here's an example of what I did.
Created OU A and B
OU A - Added user A1 and A2
OU B - Added user B1 and B2
Created Security Groups A and B
Share folders \\PDC1\A\Desktop and \\PDC1\A\Documents grant permission to security group A (repeat for group B)
Use basic folder redirect and the option to redirect everyone to the same shared drives as above. In the setting tab, uncheck "Grant user exclusive rights"
And to answer your question, we do you mapped folders. Each user have their own mapped drives but no one is using it. They don't even know what mapped drives are in most
cases. They tend to like to save everything to their desktops or their whatever the default saved location is, in this case it's "Documents". There are plenty other reasons why I want this.

File screening users desktop and documents area
can I use file screening to prevent users saving office documents and email documents on the desktop and documents folder.
these will be for their profiles that are in use on the RDS server, no folder redirection in place just standard profiles.
I have tried to create a screen path of c:\users\%username%\desktop but this doesn't work.
any help would be much appreciated.

simonHi Simon,
Before going further, sorry for the delayed response.
>>would mandatory profiles be the way to go at all seeing as I am using a TS ?
We can use mandatory profiles for users when they access to terminal servers.
To do this, if our domain controller is above Windows Server 2008, we can enable the following policy setting:
Computer Configuration\Policies\Administrative Templates\Windows Components\Remote Desktop Services\Remote Desktop Session Host\Profiles\Use mandatory profiles on the RD Session Host server
or if our domain controller is Windows Server 2008 or below, the setting should be called:
Computer Configuration\Policies\Administrative Templates\Windows Components\Terminal Services\Terminal Server\Profiles
When we enable above policy setting, Remote Desktop Services uses the path specified in the
Set path for TS Roaming User Profile policy setting as the root folder for the mandatory user profile. All users connecting remotely to the terminal server use the same user profile.
Regarding this policy setting, the following article can be referred to for more information.

Saving to Windows Phone Documents Folder
Greetings,
I tried to look through the forum but could not find anything on saving to the Windows Phone Documents folder. From what I researched online on the Windows Phone 8 it was not possible to do this as Microsoft had blocked the ability to do this due to security
reasons. But on the 8.1 release they allowed this area to be accessed by third party apps. Is this correct?
If so how do I go abouts saving to the documents folder. Basically my app is really simple I just input a couple of words into different text boxes and that should save to a text file. How do I go abouts doing this.
I tried doing this
StorageFolder local = KnownFolders.DocumentsLibrary;
However, when I run it the program stops at this spot:
#if DEBUG && !DISABLE_XAML_GENERATED_BREAK_ON_UNHANDLED_EXCEPTION
UnhandledException += (sender, e) =>
if
(global::System.Diagnostics.Debugger.IsAttached) global::System.Diagnostics.Debugger.Break();
#endif
What am I doing wrong. Thank you in advanced!!I apologize for that I looked at it quickly on my phone. Ok so I managed to get it to save to a file. The problem is now is I want to be able to append to that same file. Is that possible?

Lost Document folder while moving one file? Need help!
While attempting to move one file from my documents folder into Planbook the whole documents folder disappeared from the row icons on the bottom of the screen! Have had my MacBook Pro for a week and still find it confusing....not sure where document folder went but I need it! Hope someone can help!
Open Finder, New Finder Window from the menu options, and look in your Home folder. Or under Macintosh HD/User folder.
I take it from your description it is no longer in the Dock (row of icons at bottom of screen) where it usually is on the right hand side of that row. -

Documents folder on Desktop and a question about trash
Hello all. My previous experience has been on Windows PCs, and as a result, I make assumptions and get frustrated on my new Macbook. I was trying to organize some of my files in the Documents folder, and at one point my errant clicking and dragging caused a folder to appear on the desktop for "Documents." Based on my previous experience with Windows, I assumed that folder was a shortcut folder, and because I like my desktop area to be uncluttered and free of icons, I moved it to the trash without thinking anything of it. I continue to organize files in "Documents" under finder as if nothing is amiss. Lo and behold, I go to empty my trash later, and I notice that it is taking some time and says "Deleting 214 of 6517 files" which clues me in to the fact that it is deleting a LOT of things, not just the one or two extraneous short cut icons I thought I had thrown in there. I hit "Stop Emptying Trash" and took a look at the damage. Many of my files in "Documents" got deleted. I moved the "Documents" folder out of the trash and on to the desktop. My questions for anyone kind enough to answer is this:
1. Is there ANY possible way for me to recover those files? Are they really REALLY gone? If it were Windows, I would know where to look, but because I am new to this OS . . .
2. What should I have done to remove this darn icon from my desktop? I know its always said that "everything is so intuitive on a mac" but I disagree. Especially when you have moved over from Windows. The contextual menu that comes up when I click on the icon does not allow me to "delete this shortcut." How can I delete this from the desktop but still retain the few files I have remaining?
Any and all help is appreciated. Have a great day. Thanks - bHi, werty. Welcome to the Discussions.
By the numbers:
1. See my "Data Recovery" FAQ for comprehensive advice that may help you with this problem.
2. Based on what you describe, it sounds like you dragged your Documents folder to the desktop. Generally, the files and folders that appear on one's desktop are actually files and folders within your Home > Desktop folder. By default, your Documents folder is also within your Home folder, at the top level like the Desktop folder, i.e. Home > Documents. You should have moved the Documents folder back to the top level of your Home folder.
Mac OS X aliases to objects — roughly equivalent to Windows shortcuts to files and folders — are created by dragging an object while holding both the Command and Option keys. See "Mac OS X 10.4 Help: Creating an alias." An alias to an object displays a curved arrow in its lower-left corner — a badge — to differentiate itself from the actual object.
If you merely drag an object from your Home folder to your desktop, it moves that object from its former folder to the desktop, i.e. the Home > Desktop folder: it does not create an alias to that object unless you also hold Command-Option while dragging.
Finally, you wrote: "My previous experience has been on Windows PCs, and as a result, I make assumptions and get frustrated on my new Macbook."While Macs are quite intuitive, there are some significant differences between Mac OS X and Windows and an associated learning curve. In some cases, the key to switching is, as Yoda said, that "you must unlearn what you have learned."
Since you are new to Mac, you will find my "Learning About Mac OS X" FAQ helpful. It lists a number of resources that you will find useful in your transition to Mac including books, online training, switching from Windows, and more.
Good luck!
