Help to re-import library

I recently deleted my entire I tunes library (deliberately) and before I did I consolidated the library and burnt the entire itunes folder to disc. Now I want to reinstate the library and so I have put the itunes folder back in its original position.
All the playlists are there, and I can see all the files are in their original positions, but iTunes tells me that the file cannot be located every time I try to play a track, and would I like to find it. I dont really want to tell it where every file is (there are several thousand, organised in a confused itunes way) or re-import all the tracks (they are there already), what can I do about this.
Many thanks for your thoughts.
and apologies if this has already been covered

Why am I dragging the music into the iTunes folder and then choosing to import those files into the folder I just dragged them into ?
You are not importing them into any folder. You are adding them to the iTunes library.
Putting something into the iTunes music folder does NOT add it to iTunes library.
If you do not put them into that folder and simply File -> Add to library, iTunes will copy all 280GB into the iTunes music folder.
You don't need another copy on your HD.

Re-importing library & Problems

Hi all,
First time writing to the iPhoto board. How y'all doin?
History:
I exported my original iphoto library from my ibook to an external HD (holding down the option button and since then I've bought an intel imac.
What happened:
I've tried importing my library "File">"Import Library" (I have over 12,000 pics) to my imac but it only organized it by year 2004, 2005 and forgot my albums, their names, the way they were put and placed.
Question:
Can I import my library from the ext. HD to my imac and have it match the external drive exactly???
btw... I have the newest iphoto (if that helps)

I exported my original iphoto library from my ibook to an external HD (holding down the option butto
Do you mean to say you copied the entire iPhoto Library folder over the the external HD via the Finder? If so, you only need to copy that folder back to the Pictures folder on your new Mac and launch iPhoto. No need to import into a new library from the folder on the HD. All you'll get that way are photos in the library, no albums, keywords, etc.

Aperture 3.1 won't Import Library over Local Area Network

I have upgraded three Macs on an ethernet LAN. One is the "master" and I periodically Import its Library to the other machines to bring them up to date. This has worked fine since v. 3.0 came out.
With 3.1 I can't Import Library over the LAN. On the target computer I navigate to the "master" computer, select its library, hit go, and Aperture on the target machine does nothing for a few seconds and then hangs with a spinning beachball. I have to force quit.
I have made small test libraries on each machine and confirmed that I can't Import to any machine from any other over the ethernet. But I can use the Finder to drag a Library from one machine to another's desktop over the LAN--and then Import Library from the desktop works fine.
I've done all the usual: repair permissions, database, and eventually restore from Vault. I've reinstalled v. 3.0. Get Info informs me that all the libraries are 3.1. As far as I can see, nothing else is broken. LAN networking works fine for everything but Aperture.
Does anyone else see the same problem? Any suggestions?

Me too. Upgraded both libraries to 3.1, rebuilt both libraries to see if that would help ... but no ... no way I can get one to merge with the other over Wi-Fi. Used to work fine in 3.0. I suppose I will have to try with a FW cable and the MacBook Pro in Target Mode - hopefully that will work in the short-term.

Hello,
I am trying in linux (UBUNTU) access from LabVIEW 8.5.1 oracle database . I am trying to use OCILIB library, but during importing library LabVIEW close and I have got segmentation fault.
During calling single functions from that library is the same. Example below:
"LabVIEW caught fatal signal

"Import Library" not found in iTunes 8?

Hello, I finally made the PC-to-Mac switch this week. I'd like to bring my iTunes library over from the PC (and maintain ratings, play counts, etc.), and I've found various instructions on how to do so. However, the instructions call for exporting the library into an XML file (Library.xml) on the PC, then transferring it to the Mac and Importing it into iTunes on the Mac.
I cannot find the "Import Library" menu option in iTunes 8. Am I missing it? Is it hidden in another menu? Why would they allow you to export the library if you couldn't import it again?
Thanks in advance for any assistance!

Looks like maybe not all of the support documentation has been fully updated...
Unfortunately, that happens all too often when new features are added to iTunes. Keeping iTunes help current seems to be less-than-low priority. iTunes Help is also due for an overhaul. When the help for Office:mac is better designed and more thorough in providing details, examples, etc., than the help for software designed by Apple, something is not right in the universe.

Can you find the imported Library ? My system can't !

Dear People,
In making a first attempt to do an applet in JBuilder7 rather
than from the Dos prompt my imported library is not being found . Here are the steps I did.
1) deleted all the premade source code on the scrren and
keyed in my applet code "MakeBox.java"
2) went to Tools | Configure Libraries
I saw on the left "User Home " and under that i saw
"objectdraw"
3) under the class tab I saw:
[ C:/WINDOWS/jbproject/objectdraw.jar ]
4) at the Required Libraries tab I saw:
"objectdraw"
the error message I get when I try to compile the class is:
"MakeBox.java": Error : cannot access directory objectdraw at
line 6
below is the source code
Thank you in advance
Stan
import java.awt.*;
import java.awt.event.*;
import java.applet.*;
import objectdraw.*;
public class MakeBox extends WindowController
public void begin()
public void onMousePress(Location point)
new FilledRect(30,150,30,20,canvas);

I don't know if this is your problem or not, but whenever JBuilder decides it doesn't like me I usually have to go do this:
1)Project Menu
2)Project Properties
3)Paths tab
4)make sure your working directory is right
5)get rid of the /test in the path of the second radiobuttoned option
maybe that will help, maybe not...its what I do and it usually work.

Imported Library - NoClassDefFoundError

Imported Library - NoClassDefFoundError
Hi
I created a shared library and imported it in my application using orion-application.xml
<imported-shared-libraries>
<import-shared-library name="amc.common" max-version="1.0"></import-shared-library>
</imported-shared-libraries>
When I run the application I get NoClassDefFoundError when accessing a class in the Shared library.
I Know the Jar is Ok as the application works fine when I build the .jar into WEB-INF/lib
When I check ClassLoader using system Mbean, I can see that the shared library is imported by my Web Application. So why it is failing to find the class ?
What else need to be done in the application to load the classes that are in the shared library ?
Aimey

Hi,
there is nothing specific that needs to be done on an application side. However, my best advise is to ask this question on the OC4J forum as I am not an expert in share libraries and known issues with it

Intermittent import library generation failure building 64-bit binary in Visual Studio 2013

I have a 64-bit c++ project that randomly fails to build because the import library generation silently fails in the link step. I have scoured the "diagnostic level" log trying to find some hint at why the import library
fails to be created, but there doesn't seem to be any information.
It's pretty random. When it fails, I can do a clean build and everything builds. After a successful build, I can do another clean rebuild and see it fail again.
The 32-bit version consistently builds fine. I see the 64-bit problem regularly in any configuration (Release or Debug).
I'm running VS2013 Update 2 RC.
Any hints on how to debug this? Is this a known issue for which there is a patch?

Hi Anna, thanks for the reply. Yes, this does reproduce in MSBuild if you specify a rebuild. As mentioned previously, if you do a clean and build, even through MSBuild, the build succeeds every time.
There's no way for me to create a sample project. Our codebase is quite large and this doesn't reproduce for simple example projects.
There is no error message when the iTunes.lib import library fails to build. The import library is used in a dependent project and that fails in a way you would probably expect (complains about a missing .lib)...
Here's the relevant section from my diagnostic build output.

Import & Library handling Question!

Is it possible to do the following 100% successfully?:
1. Import images from CF card into LR
2. cull in another program
3. create a new folder on hard drive & move all RAWs to be edited into this new folder
4. Import the choosen images to be edited into LR - from this new folder created on the hard drive (without them being linked ot the original import library when they were uploaded from the CF card)
5. send them out as small DNGs to editor
6. then receive the XMP files back in LR to update the RAWs with edits by dropping the XMPs ito the new folder that was created for images to be edited and let the RAWs update
7. save the updated RAWs that now have the edits applied from XMPs somehow (in RAW format still)
8. move onto Photoshop (ACR) to do any last touch-ups of my own, save as JPG, submit to client.
Thank you in advance!!!

As I said, there is no such thing as "small DNGs", maybe they mean "Lossy DNGs"? Perhaps you ought to confirm that's what they mean.
They edit my images and return them as XMP files.
Well, that's interesting. Lightroom offers no way to create XMP files from editing DNG files. Perhaps they have a plug-in or other way to do so. Technical correction ... they don't return the images as XMP files, they return the edits as XMP files
They instructed me to drag and drop the XMPs into the file folder that the RAW images are in and watch them update in LR.
This doesn't happen by itself. You would have to go into Lightroom, select the desired RAW files, and then issue the command Metadata->Read Metadata from Files
Once they are updated, they can get converted to JPG for client
Once they are updated, you can Export them as a JPG
What I want to know is, if I were to use LR to import and rename my files for me, save to one file folder on hard drive. Then cull the images manually, and create a "to be edited" fil folder - drag and drop the RAWs into that file folder. Can I re-import the files into LR from that new folder? ***Will LR recognize them as previously imported images linked to the orginal uploaded library, OR will LR link these reimported images to the "to be edited" folder that I created????
You are creating extra work for yourself. The idea of moving photos to a specific folder and reimporting is completely unnecessary here. Once they are in Lightroom, select the desired photos, assign a piece of metadata to those photos you want (color label, flag, keyword or whatever), and export as DNG for your editing service. No need to move the photos, and no need re-import. This takes you much less time than creating a new folder, moving the photos and reimporting.
Why are you even using Lightroom here, as you don't seem to need any of Lightroom's features. Why not use Bridge/ACR?

No Import Library option in iTunes 10

I just had iTunes throw the "locked library" error on me, and one solution I heard of was moving all db out of the iTunes folder and then re-importing 'iTunes Music Library.xml' into iTunes.
According to step 7 in the knowledge base article on Apple's support pages (http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1451) from last September, I was supposed to accomplish this simply by +7. Choose File > Library > Import Playlist.+
In my iTunes 10 this is not an option! I can backup, export, and organize, but not import. Wonder what the use of backup your db is when you cannot reimport it ... Any ideas on how to import the xml version of the db?

I really need to learn how to read and write some day.
I was focusing so hard on finding the option "Import Library", that I actually thought the KB article said just that in step 7. It was not until you said there was indeed such an option that I recognized the fact that it said playlist.
It did indeed work, but I still find it curious that they dumped the functionality concerning importing of +music libraries+ into the same option as the one concerning +importing of playlists+.
Anyhooow, thanks for pointing out the obvious. I actually needed it

Can't import library from another computer

I used to be able to sync my aperture libraries from my iMac to my MacBook Pro. I just would use the import Library/Project option and it worked perfectly. Now Aperture just hangs when I try to do it and I can't get it to work.
Does anyone have any ideas?

On the new laptop, launch iTunes. From the menu bar click Store / Authorize This Computer.

Can't get imported library items to appear on stage

Hello,
I am new here and I am trying to get my imported library images to appear on the stage. I am using the CS4 version and when I click on the library item and drag it to the stage, there is nothing there. It is just a blank canvas and it's like the image(s) are hidden behind the stage or something. When I do a Publish Preview, I can see the .swf file with all the images, but in the .fla, there is nothing showing but the text files, and then that is even hidden in a newly created file. I am not sure if I accidently turned something on/off that is preventing my images from not showing on the stage or what. I really need to find a solution to this problem because I need to create a Flash file for a project I am working on in one of my classes. Does anyone know what could be causing this? I have done Google searches and Forum searches to no avail unless I'm not using the right keywords in my search. I have downloaded every available update that is out there for Adobe and it didn't fix my issue. Thanks in advance.

No, this didn't work. When I went and viewed the same files on another computer, the .fla shows everything. I just may have to work on that computer for now until I can figure out why my images aren't showing up on this one. I'll compare the settings on both and and may just have to uninstall and reinstall the software to get it to work. Thanks!
