Help with mutiple files produced by sharing video to Itunes
Hi All,
As I continue to learn I am looking for some help. After importing DV video and then creating a movie in Imovie08 I shared the movie with Itunes. Looking through all the video files there are now two copies of everything on the drive..
Copy #1 is in- movies/imovie/sharing/itunes/filename.mv4
Copy #2 is in-music/itunes music/ movies/filename.mv4
The questions are can I delete the one in the Itunes music file? what can I do to prevent this in the future?
Thanks

First most of the movies I am making are over 1gb so having two copies is not really an option as I will soon run out of space.
Most people would agree and it is not necessary to do if both copies are "standalone" files. Yours are.
when I checked get info for both files they were the same size so no reference smaller file as I have seen with the projects.
This merely confimrs that both files are, indeed, "standalone" copies and that iTunes is operating with the default preference to physically copy imported/added files to your iTunes Library wherever that might be located.
I was able to go into Itunes in the advanced and tell it not to copy to Itunes (thanks again) when sharing. On the most recent shared project this has eliminated the file in Itunes music but saved to the movie, imovie sharing, itunes ...File. When I open I tunes it did pick up the movie and sync with my apple TV. So far so good. My question now is why not leave like this?
You can leave it like this and that is one of the things mentioned previosly when I cautioned you that in this mode you could not then delete the shared folder copy of your video. Basically you have to options.
1) The first is to leave your standalone files physically in their original stored location and copy a "reference" pointer (like an alias) to iTunes. This method of operating keeps your iTunes Library relatively small but leaves your main "standalone" files scattered anywhere on any of your hard drives depending on how/where they were created/stored.
2) The second is to use the iTunes default setting as it was, physically copy the files to the iTunes Library, and then delete the "sourcing" or "intermediate" file which is no longer needed. This work flow "consolidates" all of your video files to single, known area but means your iTunes Library can become quite large.
The option you choose is up to you. I prefer the second option as I have an external 1 TB drive dedicated exclusively for use as my iTunes Library. In this manner all of my files are located in a known location and I can keep my internal start-up drive (and all other drives) relatively free of "clutter" by deleting video files from their source location as soon as I have imported them to iTunes. And, since I know where the file are located, I still maintain normal access to them for any "file" level operations (e.g., posting to any of my web sites/servers, sharing with friends/family via e-mail, QT Link files, and "reference" files, etc. Basically I use iTunes for the "physical" management of my videos for distribution to iPod, iPhone, and TV devices; iTunes, Front Row, and QT Player viewing; as well as, a central storage point for file level operations such as e-mail (standalone, reference, or QTL), site/server upload source, peer-to-peer distribution, etc. This works for me but may or may not suit another user's particular needs.
One suggestion earlier was to delete the Movie/Imovie sharing file. While this makes sense I would have to manually transfer it in or share to both then delete it.
The "sharing to iTunes" by iMovie is "automated." The deletion of extraneous files is not. Since iMovie does not know whether you are using iTunes manage your files physically, it cannot be pre-programmed to automatically delete the "shared" file without risking it will "orphan" the reference sent to/stored in iTunes. That is why the deletion is left to the user as a manual option.
Why not leave the flow the way it is. Will I later have some issue with I tunes? Or is the potential to over write the information if I adjust the project the issue?
As previously stated, you can use iTunes in this preference mode. While I doubt there would be any potential for accidental "overwites," there are other possibilities. Besides offending my sense of proper organization, there is the potential for such "scattered" files to be accidentally deleted in error. Also, there is always the possibility that someone might "move" the "standalone" file to a different location on the same or a different hard drive. In either instance, your iTunes file pointer would likely be "orphaned" and the content would no longer be availalable until or unless a valid path were restored. In addition, having files scattered all over your drives makes backing them up a bit of a chore. By consolidating all of my videos and music physically as I do, it is much easier to automatically "back them up" using another external drive and either Time Machine or other such software -- something to consider after doing all that work creating your files. What is best for you will depend on you specific work flows, needs, and concepts. There is no right or wrong here but merely what works best for you.

Can some help with CR2 files ,Ican`t see CR2 files in adobe bridge
can some help with CR2 files ,I can`t see CR2 files in adobe bridge when I open Adobe Photoshop cs5- help- about plugins- no camera raw plugins. When i go Edit- preference and click on camera raw shows message that Adobe camera raw plugin cannot be found
That's strage. Seems that the Camera Raw.8bi file has been moved to different location or has gone corrupt. By any chance did you try to move the camera raw plugin to a custom location?
Go To "C:\Program Files (x86)\Common Files\Adobe\Plug-Ins\CS5\File Formats" and look for Camera Raw.8bi file.
If you have that file there, try to download the updated camera raw plugin from the below location.
http://www.adobe.com/support/downloads/thankyou.jsp?ftpID=5371&fileID=5001
In case you ae not able to locate the Camera Raw.8bi file on the above location, then i think you need to re-install PS CS5.

Need help with simple file sharing application
I have an assignment to build a Java File Sharing application. Since I'm relatively new to programming, this is not gonna be an easy task for me.
Therefore I was wondering if there are people willing to help me in the next few days. I will ask questions in this thread, there will be loads of them.
I already have something done but I'm not nearly halfway finished.
Is there a code example of a simple file sharing application somewhere? I didn't manage to find it.
More-less, this is what it needs to contain:
-client/server communication (almost over)
-file sending (upload, download)
-file search function (almost over)
-GUI of an application.
GUI is something I will do at the end, hopefully.
I hope someone will help me. Cheers
One more thing, I'm not asking for anyone to do my homework. I will only be needing some help in the various steps of building an application.
As I said code examples are most welcome.
This is what I have done so far
Server:
package ToJeTo;
import java.io.*;
import java.net.*;
public class MultiServer {
public static ServerSocket serverskiSoket;
public static int PORT = 1233;
public static void main(String[] args) throws IOException {
try {
serverskiSoket = new ServerSocket(PORT);
}catch (IOException e) {
System.out.println("Connection impossible");
System.exit(1);
do {
Socket client = serverskiSoket.accept();
System.out.println("accepted");
ClientHandler handler = new ClientHandler(client);
handler.start();
} while(true);
}Client:
package ToJeTo;
import java.io.IOException;
import java.io.PrintWriter;
import java.net.*;
import java.util.Scanner;
public class MultiClient {
public static InetAddress host;
public static int PORT = 1233;
public static void main(String[] args) {
try {
host = InetAddress.getLocalHost();
}catch (UnknownHostException uhe) {
System.out.println("Error!");
System.exit(1);
sendMessages();
private static void sendMessages() {
Socket soket = null;
try {
soket = new Socket(host, PORT);
Scanner networkInput = new Scanner(soket.getInputStream());
PrintWriter networkOutput = new PrintWriter(soket.getOutputStream(), true);
Scanner unos = new Scanner(System.in);
String message, response;
do {
System.out.println("Enter message");
message = unos.nextLine();
networkOutput.println(message);
response = networkInput.nextLine();
System.out.println("Server: " + response);
}while (!message.equals("QUIT"));
} catch (IOException e) {
e.printStackTrace();
finally {
try{
System.out.println("Closing..");
soket.close();
} catch (IOException e) {
System.out.println("Impossible to disconnect!");
System.exit(1);
}ClientHandler:
package ToJeTo;
import java.io.*;
import java.net.*;
import java.util.*;
public class ClientHandler extends Thread {
private Socket client;
private Scanner input;
private PrintWriter output;
public ClientHandler(Socket serverskiSoket) {
client = serverskiSoket;
try {
input = new Scanner(client.getInputStream());
output = new PrintWriter(client.getOutputStream(), true);
} catch (IOException e) {
e.printStackTrace();
public void run() {
String received;
do {
received = input.nextLine();
output.println("Reply: " + received);
} while (!received.equals("QUIT"));
try {
if (client != null)
System.out.println("Closing the connection...");
client.close();
}catch (IOException e) {
System.out.println("Error!");
}Those three classes are simple client server multi-threaded connection.Now the other part that contains the search function looks like this:
package ToJeTo;
import java.io.*;
import java.util.*;
public class User {
String nickname;
String ipAddress;
static ArrayList<String> listOfFiles = new ArrayList<String>();
File sharedFolder;
String fileLocation;
public User(String nickname, String ipAddress, String fileLocation) {
this.nickname = nickname.toLowerCase();
this.ipAddress = ipAddress;
sharedFolder = new File(fileLocation);
File[] files = sharedFolder.listFiles();
for (int i = 0; i < files.length; i++) {
listOfFiles.add(i, files.toString().substring(fileLocation.length()+1));
public static void showTheList() {
for (int i = 0; i < listOfFiles.size(); i++) {
System.out.println(listOfFiles.get(i).toString());
@Override
public String toString() {
return nickname + " " + ipAddress;
User Manager:
package ToJeTo;
import java.io.*;
import java.util.*;
class UserManager {
static ArrayList<User> allTheUsers = new ArrayList<User>();;
public static void addUser(User newUser) {
allTheUsers.add(newUser);
public static void showAndStoreTheListOfUsers() throws FileNotFoundException, IOException {
BufferedWriter out = new BufferedWriter(new FileWriter("List Of Users.txt"));
for (int i = 0; i < allTheUsers.size(); i++) {
System.out.println(allTheUsers.get(i));
out.write(allTheUsers.get(i).toString());
out.newLine();
out.close();
}Request For File
package ToJeTo;
import java.util.*;
public class RequestForFile {
static ArrayList<String> listOfUsersWithFile = new ArrayList<String>();
Scanner input;
String fileName;
public RequestForFile() {
System.out.println("Type the wanted filename here: ");
input = new Scanner(System.in);
fileName = input.nextLine();
for (User u : UserManager.allTheUsers) {
for (String str : User.listOfFiles) {
if (str.equalsIgnoreCase(fileName))
listOfUsersWithFile.add(u.nickname);
public RequestForFile(String fileName) {
for (User u : UserManager.allTheUsers) {
for (String str : User.listOfFiles) {
if (str.equalsIgnoreCase(fileName))
listOfUsersWithFile.add(u.nickname);
public static List<String> getAll() {
for (int i = 0; i < listOfUsersWithFile.size(); i++) {
//System.out.println("User that has the file: " + listOfUsersWithFile.get(i));
return listOfUsersWithFile;
}Now this is the general idea.
The user logs in with his nickname and ip address. He defines his own shared folder and makes it available for other users that log on to server.
Now each user has their own list of files from a shared folder. It's an ArrayList.
User manager class is there to store another list, a list of users that are connected with server.
When the user is searching for a particular file, he is searching through all the users and their respective files lists. Therefore for each loop inside a for each loop.
Now the problem is how to connect all that with Client and Server class and put it into one piece.
GUI should look somewhat like this: -
I'm having problems copying data across my network to my new mac mini and i'm looking for some help with how to resolve this issue.
I'm using "Connect to Server' to connect via SMB to a Vista x64 machine that has the files I need to copy. I'm mounting the share as the user that has permissions to the files on the vista client. The connection is fine, but when I start the copy process, I receive an error message about not having the appropriate permissions to copy files and then the entire copy process fails. Here is the exact error message:
Copy
The operation cannot be completed because you do not have sufficient privileges for some of the items.
OK
From the vista machine I have logged in as the same user and I have taken ownership of ALL of the files and folders I'm trying to copy. I also made sure that the folder is shared with EVERYONE having full access (not something I would normally do, but figured it might help this situation). The vista machine is in a workgroup if that makes a difference.
Question 1: how can I do this via command line so that instead of stopping the entire file copy it skips the ones it can't copy and copies the rest of them?
With hundreds of subfolders and thousands of files, I have no idea which ones it is failing to copy making this process quite painful.
I'm also stuck on another basic issue - when I originally connected to the share, I told the OSX machine to remember the password. If I want to reconnect to the share using a different username and different password, how do I get OSX to reprompt me for this information?
HelpYou are probably better off using
ditto
In a terminal
man ditto
and read the description and instructions.
Yes, sadly, many copy process when the fail at a file abort the rest of the process. Windows does this as well. -
Hi,
I have installed the Flip4Mac in order for me to play windows media player files.It seems to work ok but I need help with one specific file.
I am trying to play a wmv file from a CD and it opens Quicktime with audio but not video. Any ideas?
Thanks.
Macbook C2D Mac OS X (10.4.8)Chances are the file is a WM v10 or 11 file, which cannot be played on a Mac.
However since Flip4Mac is not an Apple product, I suggest you post your question on Flip4Mac forums:

Can you help with rematching file names
After a computer crash needed to reload my library. When doing this I accidently clicked the option to add track numbers to song names.
Later I was able to locate my iTunes XML from my old PC, however many of the songs (5000 out of 6000) no don't match because the original song name has been changed since my stupid error caused the files names to get the song number in front of them.
Anybody have any tips for matching the filenames back up. In my original library some files had track numbers in front and some did not. How can I match them back up. I'm comfortable programming and modifying the iTunes XML but I can't figure out a good way to list out the contents of my hard drive to do the actual matching.
TonyBecause this forum software is so absolutely USELESS now, you don't get to see the whole of the question in this view. In the other (non-list) view it says:
"can you help with a technical problem with the stereo imagery option ? it won't take out lead vocal in a stereo mp3"
And the answer is that if you can't isolate the vocal in the stereo field, or it is one of these odd ones where it's used inverted polarity in different parts of the stereo signal for the same vocal, then you won't be able to. But without a sample, it's impossible to tell. If you can post a link to one, that might help. It has to be external to this site though - Adobe in their infinite wisdom don't allow the posting of audio files on their audio U2U forum. Helpful, that, isn't it? -
Over this past weekend I was moving, via Relocate Masters, large numbers of images from managed status on my MacBook Pro to referenced status on an external drive (an Air Disk, to be precise). This had gone fine for thousands of images, but Sunday night I returned to the computer to find that it was completely locked up in mid-Relocate, and seemed to have been locked up for a while. I'm not sure what happened, but it seemed bad -- I couldn't get to the Force Quit dialog, or anywhere else. I powered down by holding in the power button.
Upon resurrecting things, Aperture would not open the library. Long story shorter, I rebuilt the database and was then able to see the library contents again. But then I noticed that many files were "offline." Digging further, and using the Manage Referenced Files box, I discovered that some 3500 files need to be reconnected.
The Reconnect All button did a little bit of magic for me, but now I've gotten to a point where using Reconnect All only reconnects one file at a time. I was renaming files as I Relocated Masters, and my fear is that this is what has caused the disconnect. *So first,* can anyone tell me that this is what has caused the problem (the problem being my apparent need to now reconnect 3400 files, one-by-one)?
*Second, and more importantly to me, do I have any recourse beyond reconnecting one-by-one?* Again, the problem seems to me to be that the library file expects a file named image.jpg (or whatever), because the change of the file name to greatimage.jpg that occurred during Relocation did not get written to the library file.
Many thanks for all help and suggestions.Homme dArs wrote:
I hope someone else can join in with a definitive answer to your problem, but I don't believe you will be happy using the configuration you are attempting to set up.
Having Aperture access your images via wireless is going to be very very slow, and any connection problems will be very frustrating. I have even abandoned the idea of using wireless backup of image files because it so slow.
Perhaps someone can help with your immediate problem, but I would strongly suggest you find a way to store your referenced files locally (a firewire drive would be ideal).
Thanks. I certainly appreciate your thought, and before trying it myself, my instinct was the same as yours. That said, until the present problem cropped up, I have to say it has been quite a good solution. My network is 802.11n, and I've noticed no real lag in accessing the files or otherwise using Aperture with a library stored as this is.
But yes, I hope someone is able to help me get these 3400-some files reconnected short of one-by-one.
Thank you for your comments. -
Need help with connecting file inputs to arrays
In this assignment I have a program that will do the following: display a list of names inputed by the user in reverse order, display any names that begin with M or m, and display any names with 5 or more letters. This is all done with arrays.
That was the fun part. The next part requires me to take the names from a Notepad file, them through the arrays and then output them to a second Notepad file.
Here is the original program: (view in full screen so that the code doesn't get jumbled)
import java.io.*; //Imports the Java library
class progB //Defines class
public static void main (String[] arguments) throws IOException
BufferedReader keyboard; //<-
InputStreamReader reader; // Allows the program to
reader = new InputStreamReader (System.in); // read the the keyboard
keyboard = new BufferedReader (reader); //<-
String name; //Assigns the name variable which will be parsed into...
int newnames; //...the integer variable for the amount of names.
int order = 0; //The integer variable that will be used to set the array size
String[] array; //Dynamic array (empty)
System.out.println (" How many names do you want to input?"); //This will get the number that will later define the array
name = keyboard.readLine ();
newnames = Integer.parseInt (name); // Converts the String into the Integer variable
array = new String [newnames]; //This defines the size of the array
DataInput Imp = new DataInputStream (System.in); //Allows data to be input into the array
String temp;
int length; //Defines the length of the array for a loop later on
for (order = 0 ; order < newnames ; order++) //<-
{ // Takes the inputed names and
System.out.println (" Please input name "); // gives them a number according to
temp = keyboard.readLine (); // the order they were inputed in
array [order] = temp; //<-
for (order = newnames - 1 ; order >= 0 ; order--) //<-
{ // Outputs the names in the reverse
System.out.print (" \n "); // order that they were inputed
System.out.println (" Name " + order + " is " + array [order]); //<-
for (order = 0 ; order < newnames ; order++) //<-
if (array [order].startsWith ("M") || array [order].startsWith ("m")) // Finds and outputs any and all
{ // names that begin with M or m
System.out.print (" \n "); //
System.out.println (array [order] + (" starts with M or m")); //
} //<-
for (order = 0 ; order < newnames ; order++) //<-
length = array [order].length (); //
if (length >= 5) // Finds and outputs names
{ // with 5 or more letters
System.out.print (" \n "); //
System.out.println ("Name " + array [order] + " have 5 or more letters "); //<-
}The notepad file contains the following names:
jim
laruie
tim
timothy
manny
joseph
matty
amanda
I have tried various methods but the one thing that really gets me is the fact that i can't find a way to connect the names to the arrays. Opening the file with FileInputStream is easy enough but using the names and then outputing them is quite hard. (unless i'm thinking too hard and there really is a simple method)By "connect", do you just mean you want to put the names into an array?
array[0] = "jim"
array[1] = "laruie"
and so on?
That shouldn't be difficult at all, provided you know how to open a file for reading, and how to read a line of text from it. You can just read the line of text, put it in the array position you want, until the file is exhausted. Then open a file for writing, loop through the array, and write a line.
What part of all that do you need help with? -
I would really appreciate any help on this! I have my itunes library on an external hard drive. The power adapter to that drive failed. I replaced it, but now when I open itunes it doesn't recognize where any of my files are. A friend told me to try to go into Edit>Preferences and find the drive of my hard drive and reset that as where the files are. That didn't work. I can go in manually and click on a song where the window pops up that itunes can't find the file, and I am able to find it and then it will play. But to do that with all files in my library would take forever. Thank you so much for any help!
(I have itunes 8)Try This. Hold the shift key down, and open iTunes. Do not let up on the shift key until you get a window that asks you to choose a library, or create a new library. If iTunes opens without giving you that choice, just close it and re-open it with the shift key down. Nine times out of Ten it works on the first try. Click "choose a library". You will get another window that allows you to navigate to your hard drive and show iTunes where your music is stored. In a folder called iTunes or iTunes Music, choose "iTunes Library.itl" This should bring back your entire library the way it was when you last used it.

Help with referenced files and importing
This might be more complex than can be addressed here, but I'm struggling with the organization of aperture.
Because I'm not sure I want use aperture forever, and because I occasionally like to use other photo editors, I've opted for a referenced file setup. I typically arrange my pictures into year/month sub folders, with additional folders for special subjects, like my kids. I've been doing this for a long time, it works for me, and I don't want to change.
Problem #1 - avoiding duplicates when I import. When I stick the card in my computer I want to copy just the new files to the directory I specify. Image capture only looks for duplicates in the target directory, which is no help if I'm importing files to "November" from a card that has files that were previously imported to "October." The easiest solution would be to delete the images off of the card after importing, but I can't do that - my wife also wants to copy the pix to her computer and she may not copy for several weeks or months at a time.
I tried using aperture's import feature to copy files directly from my camera's memory card. The import worked, but when I tried to locate the files on disk, aperture told me there were no referenced files. Any idea where they are?
Problem #2 - import. Is there any way to make Aperture watch referenced directories and automatically add new files to the the appropriate project? It's a pain to keep manually importing files.
Problem #3 - Organization. Is there any way to set up aperture so that a project = a physical folder on my drive? I get that Aperture is trying to abstract the physical location of my files, but I don't want them abstracted. Also, why is my aperture primary library 6.2 GB when I do all my work with referenced files? Where are my edited files stored? Are these in the primary library? Where are the files from my photostreams (from my phone) stored?
Would any or all of these issues be resolved by moving to a managed file set up?
Finally, if I can't get Aperture working the way I need it, any insight into how I'd use it as an external editor to something like Picasa? I really like the aperture editing tools - that's why I bought it. But the workflow is just killing me.
Any insights would be appreciated. Thanks.It is not as complex as you are making it. Aperture is not per se an editor. It is for storing and organizing, and quickly decoding RAW images. It is a pretty good editor, but it has the feature to allow you to specify an External Editor to which you can send images for more complex editing, and back -- all from within Aperture.
You don't want to have your images referenced so you can also edit them with other programs. That destroys the non destructive design of Aperture. If you want Referenced images, you mostly want them so they can be on a different hard drive from that used by the Library for keeping track and storing the adjustments, and not so other programs can access them.
You need to read further as to how and why Aperture works the way it does.

Help with Exporting files in Aperture
Hello looking for your help (first time poster)
My problem is when I export using Aperture the file size almost triples . I Import Nikon RAW file, make my adjustments and export by using export version- TIFF original size 16bit.

Help with songs files transfer on iPod and iTouch?
Hey guys.
I just got an itouch recently and I need help with something but I don't really know how to describe it so I'll try my best to put it in a way for you guys to understand. Is there an option where when you plug in the iTouch into your computer, but you don't want to transfer the songs/mp3 files you already have originally on your iPod to be automatically transfer over to your itouch? Everytime when I connect the iTouch to computer it would just copy the mp3 files over to it butI don't really want that. I just want the mp3 file to stay on the iPod only.
Thank you, QuTranDoes it get cut off on the iPod or in iTunes (or both)?
Does it always happen with the same songs?
The problem may be related to the program that was used to encode those files. Do a +Get Info+ on a few of the affected songs and see if there is anything in common where is says +Encoded with+ on the Summary tab.
