Exporting library to place on my notebook.

I know that I can backup my library to a disc (or about 10 700mb discs in my case) and use it to restore on my notebook.
a) Is there a simplier way to do this rather than popping in disc after disc to backup from my desktop and then restore to my notebook?
b) Once I've accomplished this task what is the easiest way to basically do the same thing with just a few songs at a time? If I just use a CD-RW can I perform the backup by simply checking the new files and then restore without wiping out everything already in ITunes on my notebook?
Thanks for any help.

I burn all my DVD's using Toast 8, now Toast 10 is out which will allow you to burn Blu-ray DVD's. It will cost you about $100.00, but I have had no issues with it at all. Just my two cents.

Export library problem

Hello
I have two Mac computers (one 10.6 and one with 10.7) in two differents places and one HD containing my itunes library.
I would like to be able to use this library one my two computers without duplicating my library.
I made every settings to locate the library on my two computers and it works, but ...
Let's say I modify my library by modifying the 'genre' of a record and my computer 1. Then I choose 'export library' and re-import the created file in itunes on the computer 2.
The problem is that there are mistakes on the modified files : for instance only 10 out of 12 songs have the new 'genre' and the two other ones have the old 'genre'.
I tried several times but no changes.
Any solution ? Maybe there's another way to

Exporting library off hard drive?

This is my first post here, so please pardon me if this is the wrong place to post this, or the question has already been answered.
My computer is old and can't handle ITunes, so I'm using my mum's computer. However, I don't want to use up her hard drive by keeping my library of music on it. Is there some way I can either delete music, or export it somewhere else so that her hard drive isn't taken up by it? I tried going to file, library, then export library and putting it onto a cd-rw, but it didn't do anything. Any advice?

From what I understand in those directions though, that's only to move your music from one location to another that's still on the same hard drive.
That's not true. See the second paragraph of the summary.

Exporting Library (CSV)

I need to get an export of my library formatted as a CSV file. I've read somewhere that there should be an option to export your library to a txt file which would allow me to convert to CSV but I can't find such an option.
I'm using iTunes 8.1 on a Mac OSX 10.5.7

Just to add to your last comment about the XML, it would be really helpful if Apple could label the 'Export Library...' option as 'Export Library as XML...' as that is all you get with this!
The help is as usual brief about this and merely mentions that other applications (like what & how?) could use this XML... certainly didn't help me when I was trying to export my whole library to another place(!)
The hidden option of selecting other libraries by holding down alt/option key when double clicking the iTunes app should really be available in the menus somehere, e.g. so you can choose what library you want to use for the next time you start iTunes. I reckon 99% of iTunes users don't even know that they can run multiple libraries...
And yeah quite honestly a CSV export is probably more useful than XML to most people anyway...

How do I transfer my checked songs from one computer to another - tried exporting library playlist etc but no luck! Please help! I have 26,000 songs - 17,000 are selected and I can't run down the list on my new computer and re-check 17,000 songs! Thanks!

Make a smart playlist of your whole library but only checked songs - #4 on http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1801
Highlight all files in that playlist, then drag to the other drive. This isn't preserving any playlists or whatever, just copying files from one drive to another.
You might want to delete the smart playlist this once you are done because it will probably gobble up resources with that many files.

Help! Can't save to disc/backup my iTunes! NO OPTION to save OR back up to disc my iTunes Library appears in the toolbar when I select 'File', then 'Library'. Just 'Organize Library...', 'Export Library...', 'Import Playlist...', and 'Export Playlist...'

Help! I can't save to disc OR backup my iTunes Library! iTunes support instructions are to simply select 'File', then 'Library', then select 'Back Up to Disc', but when I try to the only options that appear are 'Organize Library...', 'Export Library...' then below those are 'Import Playlist...' and 'Export Playlist...' (which appears in the list, but I cannot select). No option to save my library appears at all. Just those four. I've had no problems syncing, playing, adding or purchasing with my account and my iTunes version is up to date. Can anyone tell me what the problem is and what I should do so I can save my library?

BW output into PDF through ADS or The SAP BI Export Library

Dear fellow gurus,
I would like to meet somebody who has any experience with Adobe forms for BI/ BW.
My colleagues are struggling with some performance problem on their BW project, where they want the ADS (adobe document services for adobe forms output) to print 400 pages for them. I don´t think that is a good idea (bad design, but I cannot do anything about it) but would like to help them.
They think SAP Note 1112132 (The SAP BI Export Library) could help, I don´t see the point. Looks like this tool is not quite "ready" for the use. And if I would like to use something like that, I would write that myself using iText or something. But I would like to hear some opinions first, before I will tell them anything.
Maybe there is something special for PDF reporting for BW? Or any BW + Adobe guidelines? Or anything relevant for me to read to get the idea?
Thank you, Otto

Didn´t find any solution/ opinion/ experience. Closing. Otto

When transferring music library and apps to my new I Pad I think I clicked Export Library instead of synching. Now my music library is virtually empty - mostly CDs downloaded, a few apps for the I Pad and apps for the I pod too. Can I move these back?

When transferring music library and apps to my new I Pad I think I clicked Export Library instead of synching. Now my music library is virtually empty - mostly CDs downloaded, a few apps for the I Pad and apps for the I pod touch too. Can I move these back?

weird very weird. today i did this again today after already being unsuccessful earlier. exactly the same thing as i have done before, exactly. didn't try to import. didn't say damaged library, copied everything in including date. have tried it about 10 times no luck. today it just worked.
how weird is that?
oh well JG - maybe you mixed a magic potion for me?
anyway, thank you for all the help.
to anyone else reading this all i can say is keep trying, you never know. follow the above advice. you may feel exasperated and think you have done it already, but keep trying.

BI Export Library vs. ADS (Adobe Document Services)

Does anybody know why SAP added the Export Library as an alternative to ADS for BI? I mean, are there pros and cons to using one over the other? Right now we're using the Export Library and it seems to work fine for broadcasting and Print View in BEx web. It's tempting to stay with it, but notes mention that ADS is the standard, and Export Library is an alternative option for BI only.
Am I missing out on some functionality? Maybe Integrated Planning still requires ADS? I assume Adobe Interactive Forms also require ADS. Anything else?

Anyone have insight into this?

When i export library,will it keep the play count?

when i export library,will it keep the play count so it is the same when i add to another itunes?

This problem has also been plaguing me today. Here are my specifics and how I solved it (Expanding on what Quentin Holmes mentioned)
CONFIRMED WORK AROUND! The .m4v file gets created while encoding, but Adobe Media Encoder does not re-pack it back into the .mp4 unless you select the "Export Audio" in Adobe Premier export prior to queuing. If you don't want audio, mute the individual tracks and still export audio.
My details:
Just bought a GH4, shooting 4k 25fps MOV, trying to simply trim a few clips and export them as H.264 .mp4 with no audio. (By the way it would be nice if we could export 4k .MOV files from the camera back into .MOV once finished editing, but in premier that frame resolution is not supported)
Specs: Mac Mini, Quad Core i7, 16GB Ram, OSX 10.9.4, Adobe Premier Pro CS6 6.0.5, Adobe Media Encoder 6.0.2.81
Hope that helps anyone with the same prob

Is Outside In's PDF Export library's function EXOpenExport thread-safe?

I'm writing a C++ wrapper, for Node.js, around the Outside In PDF Export library, on Ubuntu Linux. Node.js has a single threaded event loop and therefor any long-running processing is done on a worker thread. So, my wrapper is calling all of the PDF Export methods inside of this worker thread. I mention this so that you can be sure of two things: this is a threaded environment, and all PDF Export functions are being called on the same worker thread. Also, I am not making use of any redirected IO or PDF Export-handled threading. I've initialized the library specifying to use no threads. So all of this processing should be occuring within the thread that I call the functions on.
Everything seems to go fine when exporting a single PDF or even maybe two or three in quick succession. When I up the number of PDFs that I try to export to 5+, I receive a SIGSEGV segementation fault from within the OIT libs. The back trace is below:
Program received signal SIGSEGV, Segmentation fault.

I'll explain the back trace a little. The function on #11 is the function inside my code. That is the function in which I call all of the OIT lib functions. The functions on lines #12 and higher are the Node.js-related threading functions, setting up the thread to run my code's function. Functions on lines #10 down to #1 are all the OIT-called functions.
In the documentation for PDF Export, it says that if you're going to be using this library inside a threaded environment, then you need to call the init and deinit functions each time within the worker thread. I'm doing this in my code, which you can see here: https://github.com/ryancole/topdf/blob/master/src/topdf.cc#L29-L74
Is there anything else that I need to be setting that would cause this? I'm only specifying the font directory, explicitly. Are these libraries actually thread-safe? It doesn't look like they are.

Well, upon receiving a second opinion on the meaning of the phrasing in the documentation, I have got the library working in a threaded environment now. The first parameter to DEInitEx was supposed to specify to enable PTHREAD support, which I did not have. I thought that it meant something other than it actually does.

Exporting library assets to frame 1 causes delay

I'm fairly new to Actionscript 3, just trying to puzzle something out.
I have several small movie clips saved in the library of myCS4 Flash.fla file, I want to make them available to dynamically add to the display list as children, based on the button clicks of the viewer. I can get it all to work fine via Symbol Properties > Linkage > Export for Actionscript.
BUT - When the movie clips are set to "export for actionscript" from the Library, playback seems to hang on frame 1 until all of these exported assets have downloaded. The big problem is that I have an ultra-simple but totally custom preloader/progress animation coded in a loop in the second and third frames, which kicks out to frame 4 and continues playback as soon as the download is complete.
Because of this, the preloader has essentially become useless - because all that can be seen is several seconds of empty stage, until the vast majority of the bulky assets have downloaded. Then the preloader flashes onstage for just an instant, and disappears because the content is already up.
So, my questions are:
A) Is there a SIMPLE alternate method to load these library assets in such a way that it doesn't cause this major lag on frame 1?
B) Failing that, I suspect I may have to retool my preloader to run as an ENTER_FRAME event in frame 1. Is this worth the effort (can this potentially resolve the lag issue and allow for a meaningful preload progress animation, despite the lag from the asset export?)
Any advice, thoughts, ideas (sample code?) would be greatly appreciated!!
Thanks in advance,
</a>
**Edit follows**
OK, so after a little more research, I have basically answered this question for myself. I'm updating the post for the benefit of others who may find themselves in my shoes somewhere down the road.
The solution (as far as I can see) is to pretty much just avoid using the "Export for Actionscript" option for exporting assets to the timeline, as much as possible. Maybe it's fine for a few small assets, but not the best choice for large stuff, which in my case was the lions' share of the content!!
Or at least don't use the default setting of exporting to frame one!! This will likely foul up ANY preloader, because essentially Flash player will not display any of the content on frame one until ALL of the content on that frame has fully downloaded - You'll be stuck staring at an empty stage for ages, then when the preloader finally does show up on the stage and run, it will zip by in an instant while (probably) doing its job properly, but it's really only updating on the load progress of the balance of the SWF file.
The info I found suggested one easy method of making the assets available to Actionscript -- simply just place all of the required library assets into some unseen frame in the timeline, shortly AFTER your preloader runs. Then Flash Player will load them after the preloader has done its thing, and they will be available to be accessed by Actionscript later in the timeline when you really need them.
Also FYI -- I also tried changing the export settings to have Flash export the assets in question in frame four instead of frame one, with the unfortunate and unexpected result that my published SWF began skipping playback directly to frame four, which also effectively killed my preloader (which was running in frames two and three.) This glitch remained, even after reverting the export setting back to export the assets in frame one!! It seems like my .FLA file was irreversibly altered (contaminated??) by changing the export frame setting?!? Yikes!!
Luckily I had an earlier version saved under a different file name, it was relatively easy to go back to that version and bring it up to date.
Anyway - that's all for now. Hope this info can help someone else....

No Export options and Place not working correctly. InDesign CC 2014.

I cannot place a file into a frame with cmd+d or File > Place.
I get the preview on the cursor but won't place into a frame which I need to keep the frame effects and size options.
- Also -
I am not getting any options on Export - to change the output file type. Seems to be defaulting to PDF (print) in the dialogue box there is no dropdown.
How do I fix this?
I don't know how long this has been going on for as I don't use InDesign as much as other programmes but I am guessing since last update. I hate I am paying for this per month and have been sat on the phone and chat for over an hour waiting on a response. It is slowing my workflow down.

Problems with iPhoto after exporting library to external hard disk

Hello all,
I am using iPhoto 8 on an iBook G4. I recently attempted to back up my iPhoto library to an external hard disk. I did this by dragging the iPhoto library to the external hard disk. I did not delete the library on my own computer. Since I've done this, iPhoto has not been problematic. For instance, when I attempt to open an event on my computer, I can not see the thumbnails of all the photo's in the event - iPhoto will display each individual photo in sequence. If I want to print a picture, I have to export the entire event - I can't just drag the thumbnail to my desktop. Also, when I attempt to upload new pictures from my camera it produces an error.
Does anyone know what might be going on? I need to be able to access my photo's, so can anyone give me some advice on how to fix whatever I've done?
Any help you can give me would be much appreciated.

iPhoto will display each individual photo in sequence.
There's a slider lower right of the iPhoto Window - drag it left.
Why are you exporting to Print?
when I attempt to upload new pictures from my camera it produces an error.
What does the error say?
As for accessing your pics:
There are many, many ways to access your files in iPhoto:
For 10.5 users: You can use any Open / Attach / Browse dialogue. On the left there's a Media heading, your pics can be accessed there. Apple-Click for selecting multiple pics.
Uploaded with plasq's Skitch!
To upload to a site that does not have an iPhoto Export Plug-in the recommended way is to Select the Pic in the iPhoto Window and go File -> Export and export the pic to the desktop, then upload from there. After the upload you can trash the pic on the desktop. It's only a copy and your original is safe in iPhoto.
This is also true for emailing with Web-based services. If you're using Gmail you can use THIS
If you use Apple's Mail, Entourage, AOL or Eudora you can email from within iPhoto. With 10.5 you can access the Library from the New Message Window in Mail:
Uploaded with plasq's Skitch!
If you use a Cocoa-based Browser such as Safari, you can drag the pics from the iPhoto Window to the Attach window in the browser.
Or, if you want to access the files with iPhoto not running, then create a Media Browser using Automator (takes about 10 seconds) or use THIS
Other options include:
1. *Drag and Drop*: Drag a photo from the iPhoto Window to the desktop, there iPhoto will make a full-sized copy of the pic.
2. *File -> Export*: Select the files in the iPhoto Window and go File -> Export. The dialogue will give you various options, including altering the format, naming the files and changing the size. Again, producing a copy.
3. *Show File*: Right- (or Control-) Click on a pic and in the resulting dialogue choose 'Show File'. A Finder window will pop open with the file already selected.
Regards
TD
