Help??? Editing file information

I have 30GB of music files pretty much replicated on iPod & itunes. I have a heap of free time at work (offshore) to update and add new data (info) to my tunes. Currently, everything has only a artist & genre applied. I would like to do my master update (add year, album etc) and apply to mirror iTunes at home.
I have 3rd party (idump) software but lookiing for tips on the best way to upload the edited file information without it adding new tracks to itunes.
Hope this makes sense? In a nut shell, my question is - will the added data once uploaded to itunes overwrite existing files or will i need to delete files from itunes first and replace with same files/new metadata

i gathered all my tracks from various sources and purposely removed most CDDB information to ensure basic data was correct. the goal has then been to add back in but unfortunately my itunes is on a PC 1000 miles away.
For example: Right now my database looks like: Title - Let It Be/ Artist - The Beatles/ Genre - The Beatles
Now I want to add back in album titles and years etc manually (comments & album artist etc)

Can't drag files or edit file information in iTunes.

I just bought a new computer a month ago, and when I downloaded iTunes on it, it worked perfectly fine. Recently, it hasn't been allowing me to drag files anywhere. Not at all. I also can't edit song info because it's all greyed out. I really need help because I want to put more songs on my iPhone and edit playlists on my iPhone and it won't let me even add a playlist on my iPhone. I have complete control over all files on my hardrive. I haven't moved any songs that I imported into iTunes. I really don't know what to do, and it's really frustrating. Any help is appreciated. Thank you.

Does the DVD-R have a very long name? If so, see:
*Unable to copy or move files from volume that has a long name*
http://support.apple.com/kb/TS2053
If this seems to be the problem you'd probably have to try burning a new DVD with a shorter name, since you can't rename the present DVD.

How to change file information in ADE?

I am having trouble loading eBooks into ADE with missing book information. I would like the books to be searchable after they are input into my Nook, but when I load the books into ADE some of the information fields are blank (author, title, etc.). I don't see an "edit file info" button anywhere and when I change the file info in Explorer, it still imports incorrectly. How can I edit file information in ADE so my books can be easily searcheable in my Nook?

Thank you for advice.
I know that I can create epub files with fonts included in them.
My question was- how to refer in the epub to external font file, that ADE would understand and display,
doing that would let me keep overall file size of my book library significantly less, because I would not need to include same fonts in every book.
I am able to do it on the devices, I am able to do it in Sony Reader Library, but PC version of Adobe Digital Editions does not work the same way. All I need is to know where to put external fonts on my PC so that I could refer to them from inside the epub and that ADE would find and display them.
Though I do appreciate the attention, I'd double the appreciation if you read the question before offering the answer.

Keynote Crashing - with Lion. Most often when I switch out of Keynote to another program - Keynote freezes - says Application Not Responding. If I save the Keynote before switching, it does not crash - only when it says it is an "edited" file....help

I posted this on another thread. See if this works:
1) Uncheck "Backup previous version" in Keynote's Preferences.
2) Make a duplicate copy of your file that has issues and save it.
3) If you still get spinning wheels from switching between apps after editing or 10 seconds of inactivity, manually save with command+s. It may beach ball here but be patient and wait for it to finish! Try editing and resume doing work now.
Command+s may be a bit slow but I think that might be normal since the files are so big.
Good luck and let me know if this works.

Please help! Issues with file permissions on the 'Edit' file created by LR for editing in Photoshop?

I am running a Macbook Pro with Mountain Lion. I use a Netgear ReadyNas as my storage device. I can Save, Re Save, Delete and add files without any concern on the ReadyNas from within PS or LR. However when I use the 'Edit in Photoshop" command on LR. I chose the 'Edit a copy with edits', LR creates the new duplicate 'edit' file in the same directory as the original. It opens in PS, I edit as required, however when I save the file to return to LR, I am informed that the file is locked and that I need to edit settings on file or folder, even though the settings are working for all other edits etc. I have had Netgear on this for 3 hours this evening and they cannot see any issues with the setting on the ReadyNas. Does anyone know what permissions are changed or why they are changing when the file is being created by LR?
Sorry bit of a long winded one - but I hope that all makes sense?

h264 is highly compressed and might be the reason your skimming isn't smooth, it may also take a bit more time to convert. I don't have to worry all that much about space so I haven't particularly tried it and can't say whether there are any drawbacks of doing so.
If you google 'mpegstreamclip tutorials', you will see quite a few tutorials you can look at, they do tend to be specific to one task which may not exactly fit in with what you are trying to do, but looking at a few might give you a better understanding of what some options do and when to use them if at all.

I am facing problem regarding graphical user interface. I am using text box for editing files. I want to show the line numbers and graphical breakpoints along with text box. Can anybody help me in this? Thanks.

Thanks for you reply.
But actually I don't want to show the \ (backslashes) to the user in my text box.
Ok let me elaborate this problem little more.
I want to show my text box as it is in normal editors e.g. In Matlab editor. There is a text box and on left side the gray bar shows the line numbers corresponding to the text. Further more i want that the user should be able to click on any line number to mark specific line as breakpoint (red circle or any graphical indication for mark).

Help!Airport Extreme Drive: Editing Files in Windows adds mysterious 0 char

Hi, I'm experiencing what's probably the strangest bug I've seen in a long time. Maybe you know what to do...
Hardware: Airport Extreme + USB Harddisk (Lacie Two Big in RAID 1 mode) connected to it. Airport Driver is at the latest version (7.2.1) (also tried with 7.2 with the same result)
The whole thing works beautifully with my Macbook Pro.
My Windows XP computer sees the harddisk, can access the files. I can also copy files from the computer's hard drive to the Airport Disk well.
But when I edit files (with OpenOffice, Notepad, ...) the files end up corrupt, e.g. with 0 characters (ascii 0) inserted at the beginning.
Here's what I'm doing:
1. in the windows explorer, get to a folder on the remote disk.
2. right mouse button -> new text file.
3. double click on text file --> notepad comes up
4. type 1234 , then save
5. double click on text file --> content is " 1234"
6. file size is also 8 bytes instead of 4, in emacs hex mode I can see that the first four characters that were magically appearing are ascii 0 characters.
If I do the same with different text, a different number of null characters are prepended, always as many characters as I was entering.
Strangely, creating the same file on a local drive and copying it to the airport HD doesn't mess it up.
I have no clue what could cause this bizarre effect, but my airport harddisk is pretty unusable until I found out how to get Windows to save files properly on it. Did anybody experience something similar?

Others have reported this problem, and from the many discussions I have seen on this topic there is no effective solution. There seem to be (thus far) unexplained reliability problems with saving/retrieving files on the Airport disk, which trouble some people more than others.
The best workaround is to do what you have already discovered - do all file editing on a local copy of the file. Then copy the file to the Airport disk when editing is complete.

I can't edit song information the problem is not in all the items

I can't edit the information of my songs like gnre, artist, etc... when I start to use itunes I had another computer, when I change of computer I decide to copy my library to a external hard disk, I don't know if this is creating the problem, will be great to receive help.

Right-click on your main iTunes folder and click Properties, then go to the Security tab and click Advanced. If necessary grant your account and SYSTEM full control of this folder, subfolders and files, then tick the option to replace permissions on child objects which will repair permissions throughout the library. This is the XP dialog but Windows Vista/7 shouldn't be too different.
If it won't let you change the permissions use the Owner tab to take ownership from an account with administrator privileges.

Has anyone resolved the problems with using TNSFormat?
As is, I want to move to a shared server setup and to do that I want to use TNSFormat and point to a tns entry which is setup for IPC+Shared connection.
But the Oracle Home that has the Oracle HTTP Server (from the companion CD) does not have SQL*net installed and does not seem to understand TNS.
I have TNS_ADMIN setup, I have ORACLE_HOME_LISTENER poiting to the DB Home.
for the OHS home, using "sqlplus login/pw@ipcshared" works, but "tnsping ipcshared" does not, since tnsping does not exist in the OHS home.
I cannot install SQL*Net from the CD1, since it requires a dedicated/new home and does not want to install in the OHS Home.
The only format that works in a dedicated OHS Home setup is ServiceNameFormat.
Any help or input would be very helpful.
Regards
ps. This is a redhat linux setup.

Edit files remotely Iomega EZ Media & Backup Center

Hi,
I'm deciding which NAS to buy. I'm interested in Iomega EZ Media & Backup Center.
I want to know if it is possible to edit any files remotely (word, excel, autocad, corel, etc.) without having to previously download it to the pc I'm remotely accessing with.
I don't want to download the file, edit it, and then re-upload the edited file. Is too uncomfortable.
I have to use an app to do this or I can edit it directly from Windows Explorer or a web browser like Firefox?
Thinkin that maybe I'll access from a public pc and want to have the possibility to edit it directly.
I'll appreciate any comments. Thanks

Hello aleb21
You would need to install LSM on every remote pc/workstation to be able to mount/map the shares for file editing.
You can install LenovoEMC Link on your iOS and Android mobile devices. The application is intended to allow you to open documents, however since the application functions the same as the web user interface it would be more for viewing documents not editing. To edit files/documents you would need to download the file, edit on the mobile device, then upload the updated file to the NAS.
The video is correct, but does not go over the portion about connecting the remote computer using the personal cloud section of LSM. Basically you would do the following:
-Launch LSM
-Navigate to the Personal Cloud tab, click on "settings" on that tab.
-Enter the cloud name you created on the device's web ui. It can take a few minutes to find the cloud in some situations.
-Enter your NAS credentials created on the NAS or that are included in the invite email sent from the NAS.
-Once connected LSM's default is to auto-map/mount the shares that your user as access for to the remote computer. You can confirm this option by right clicking on the LSM system tray icon and make sure the "map drive letters" option is checked. You can also access the shares via the share tab in LSM, this will open an explorer/find window for you to navigate through the shares.
WebDAV is seperate from the web user interface (home page and content explorer). It would look similar to a basic FTP web interface when accessing via a browser. Just like the FTP protocol you could theoretically map the connection to explorer/finder remotely as a web/internet location with your external ip address. It should allow for remote editing.
For VPN, when accessing your cloud using LSM on a remote computer it would function like a VPN between your NAS and the remote computer. If you want to use a 3rd party VPN and not use personal cloud it should be possible, but may require your router or computer on the network to actually manage the VPN software.
For the camera question, with your setup the nas would not be a part of it unless you have the ip camera's setup to save data to the NAS. If that is the case you can setup the destination share the camera's are storing to for media sharing. This would allow the Media Server feature to stream the saved videos locally and/or remotely. Keep in mind that the media server feature does not do transcoding so the media receiver would need to support the file format the ip camera's store.
All lifeline os devices have a copy jobs backup option, however it does require knowledge of directory sharing from the source computer to work, see Host data backup using Copy Jobs
I personally recommend looking into the ix2-dl option as it:
-is under $100 USD
-can support up to 2x 6TB hard disks w/ RAID 1, 0, and NONE (JBOD)
-has support for SecureMind surveillance
-has a more powerful SoC processor
Hope this all helps with your decision.

Recently Edited Files not Showing in Organiser PSE11

My recently edited files do not show in the editor. All the repairs, optimise etc have been done. Photos have been saved as Jpeg and PSD and the check box to save in Organiser also ticked. Timeline does not show anything saved today and untagged media is not picking up anything. Please can someone help. Many thanks

It's because the sort order is based on 'date taken', the date and time when the picture was shot (if the camera is correctly set for the time...)
Edit:
There is no way to select pictures based on the last editing time (nothing in the Find menu, either by metadata or history). That information is only stored in Windows explorer.
If you want to keep track of your recently edited pictures, the only workaround I can see is to apply a keyword like 'new edit' each time you edit a picture. I suppose that such info is no longer needed after your editing batch, so you can select all those files and delete the keyword from all of them. The keyword is still available for the next editing batch.
Generally, people interested in seeing the most recent edits use the editor to see the recent edits. You can set the preference to up to 30 recent files in edit/preference menu, file recording option.

Changing file information

New Mac User here...
I know that on a PC you can change any file information...
for instance...if you want to change a music file's genre, title, etc. you can do so without going into itunes.
i downloaded a song onto my mac and it has all the wrong info (the name of the song is wrong, the genre's wrong) and this is really bothering me. I go to the file and click get info but i can't change anything except the file's extension. if i go to into itunes and click get info on the song i can change anything...but the file info is still the same (wrong title, etc.)
i don't know if that makes any sense...but can anyone help me out?

The only way to edit the id3 tags is with an id3 tag editor. iTunes contains an id3 tag editor and it is used via the iTunes interface. If you edit the song/file on the HD from the Finder 'get info' then all you are changing is the name on the HD.
If you have the 'keep organized' function enabled in iTunes prefs then the name on the HD will be changed to match the name in the iTunes interface.
From iTunes Help Menu using the search tag of 'id3'
iTunes: Working with ID3 Tags
<This article explains how to update ID3 tags on MP3 files that contain no information, partial, or incorrect information in iTunes.
Symptom
iTunes contains no information, partial, or incorrect information in some of the fields (Song, Artist, Year, Album, Track Number, Genre)
Products affected
iTunes
Mac OS 9.1
Mac OS X (all versions)
Solution
If you want to change information in one of the ID3 Tags fields in the Library or a playlist, follow these steps:
Select a song by clicking it within iTunes. If you wanted to change the info for more than one song (batch), select all of the files you want to have similar information by holding down the Command key, and clicking each song to be changed.
Choose Get Info from the File menu, or use Command-I. This opens the iTunes Song Information window.
Click the "Tags" tab.
The Song Name field is next to the iTunes MP3 icon.
In the "Tags" window you can make changes to all fields shown.
Note: The Song Name field must contain information. (The Song Name field is located next to the iTunes MP3 icon.)
An alternative is to use a utility such as ID3X.>
