Help with re-creating library

Hey, all. I was using iTunes via an external hard drive that recently crashed and burned. To replace it, I got a portable external drive. I used anapod to restore my songs to my computer from my iPod. Now, though, I can't point iTunes to the portable external drive for the library. I went into the advanced settings and changed the location, and it shows that location, but it's reading from the old default location.
Could anyone shed light on what I should do? Thanks for any help.

Once you change the location, you have to go to file-->add folder to library and add the folder in the drive (all of its songs) to the library.

  • Please help with backing up library

    OK, this has maybe been addressed before but I'm new here and haven't really found an answer on the forums... My work is saved as monthly projects and I want to export them to an external HD with metadata and adjustments etc but retain a referenced version in my library on my mac. Make sense? If I need to get anything back I can do a quick search and plug in the HD - yes? Trouble is if I export the project as-is I can't reimport referenced files... This is maybe my poor working practice and I'd really appreciate some help with it. I've previously just exported versions then burned DVD's but I'd really like to keep a record of pics on the mac if poss. HELP PLEASE!

    Thanks so much for your help with this! It sounds exactly like what I want to achieve. I'm wondering now if I can export my entire library and bring it back in as referenced instead of managed - hopefully someone can advise? Thanks, Craig
    You don't need to export you can do it from within Aperture, see *File->Relocate Master*.
    Again check out the user manual Apple did a real good job with this one.
    And PLEASE, PLEASE, make a complete backup of your Aperture library before trying any of this we are not responsible for lost, missing or mutilated photos

  • Old Toad - help with lost iPhoto Library

    I posted in the iPhoto 06 board by mistake, I am actually running 08. I found the iPhoto library in Pictures, but it stopped in July 07, and I seem to have lost a year's worth of photos. Do you have any advice?

    Miriam:
    It may be that the photos are still there but that bunch has been lost from the database file. Try the three fixes below in order as needed:
    1 - launch iPhoto with the Command+Option keys depressed and follow the instructions to rebuild the library. Select all options.
    2 - rebuild the library using iPhoto Library Manager as follows:
    Using iPhoto Library Manager to Rebuild Your iPhoto Library
    1 -Download iPhoto Library Manager and launch.
    2 -Click on the Add Library button, navigate to your User/Pictures folder and select your iPhoto Library folder.
    3 - Now that the library is listed in the left hand pane of iPLM, click on your library and go to the File->Rebuild Library menu option
    4 - In the next window name the new library and select the location you want it to be placed.
    5 - Click on the Create button.
    Note: It may take some time to create the new library if you have a lot of photos.
    3 - start over with a new library and import the Originals folder from your original library as follows:
    Creating a new library while preserving the Events from the original library.
    Move the existing library folder to the desktop.
    Open the library package like this.
    Launch iPhoto and, when asked, select the option to create a new library.
    Drag the Originals folder from the iPhoto Library on the desktop into the open Photo window
    This will create a new library with the same Events as the original library if you have the Finder checkbox unchecked in the Events preference pane.
    TIP: For insurance against the iPhoto database corruption that many users have experienced I recommend making a backup copy of the Library6.iPhoto (iPhoto.Library for iPhoto 5 and earlier) database file and keep it current. If problems crop up where iPhoto suddenly can't see any photos or thinks there are no photos in the library, replacing the working Library6.iPhoto file with the backup will often get the library back. By keeping it current I mean backup after each import and/or any serious editing or work on books, slideshows, calendars, cards, etc. That insures that if a problem pops up and you do need to replace the database file, you'll retain all those efforts. It doesn't take long to make the backup and it's good insurance.
    I've created an Automator workflow application (requires Tiger or later), iPhoto dB File Backup, that will copy the selected Library6.iPhoto file from your iPhoto Library folder to the Pictures folder, replacing any previous version of it. It's compatible with iPhoto 6 and 7 libraries and Tiger and Leopard. iPhoto does not have to be closed to run the application, just idle. You can download it at Toad's Cellar. Be sure to read the Read Me pdf file.≤br>
    Note: There now an Automator backup application for iPhoto 5 that will work with Tiger or Leopard.

  • Help with Accessing iTunes Library from both Mac and PC

    Hi All
    I'm new to this community and new(ish) to the world of Mac.
    At home we share a single iTunes Library stored on a NAS Drive across 4 different Windows PC's (Mine, My Wifes and the 2 kids).  I have recetly got myself a MacBook Pro and hoped to hook it up to our central iTunes library.
    I was pleased to see that the Library opened but sadly none of the songs can be located and I get the dreaded grey symbol against tracks if I try and play them.
    On further investigation it would appear to be a naming convention issue.  The iTunes Library is expecting to see each song in the following location:
    file://localhost/Volumes/Music/iTunes Library/iTunes Media/Music/Artist/Album/song.mp3
    The problem is the localhost element as the mac sees the same location as:
    file://Volumes/Music/iTunes Library/iTunes Media/Music/Artist/Album/song.mp3
    Is there anyway of harmonising between the 2 systems?  or am I asking the impossible.
    Many Thanks .... Blue

    Thanks Jim
    That does make sense.
    BUT ... have been doing some more investigation and it appears that my Windows iTunes is displaying the same symptoms and the tracks have lost connection with the iTunes Library.
    I'm now very confused ....
    I take it what I am trying to do IS possible?
    Any other suggestions.
    Many Thanks .... Blue

  • Help with iTunes Shared Library (Vista and OS X)

    I am trying to share my Vista-based iTunes library with my new iMac. I have an issue now that iTunes does not let me select the shared iTunes library that resides on the PC. The following is how things are set up
    1) I've moved all of my PC-based music, my iTunes Library (.itl) file and the cover art to an external HD on my Vista PC.
    2) I've set permissions on all of the Vista files (music, library, art) to be read/write for available to all connected users.
    3) I have also mounted the PC-based external drive on my iMac. Permissions seem to be ok, as when I view files via the Finder, they are visable and accessible.
    4) However, when I try to open iTunes on iMac to change the shared library (using the OPTION key), the iTunes Library.itl file on the hard drive is completely greyed out. No matter how I change permissions or sharing on the Vista machine, I cannot seem to select the shared library.
    5) Interesting that I HAVE successfully accessed the same library through another Windows-based machine (Windows XP). In that instance I can access the network drive and select the iTunes Library.itl file no problem. Music streams fine after I do that. Also, from my iMac I am able to create files in the same directory where the iTunes files reside (using program like Text Editor) so it seems I do have write access and permissions to the directory.
    Any clue why this is happening? It seems like iTunes is the one program that is not picking up the permissions from the iMac, but other Mac programs are. It's driving me a little nuts at this point. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
    Thx

    Bump. Same issue. Help please.

  • Help with 'unlocking' iPhoto Library! SO LOST!

    I was a PC user all my life and recently I decided to switch to Mac. I'm still figuring things out and for the most part I've got the hang of it, with one exception...iPhoto. I'm not having problems with iPhoto or using it for that matter, my problem is this; I want to be able to upload photos using Facebooks photo uploader instead of having to upload the entire album using the iPhoto uploader. My next problem is that I just purchased Pixelmator and it won't let me open photos from my iPhoto library. The only photos I can access are the ones from Photo Booth. So, how do I 'unlock' my iPhoto library so that I can actually access my photos? HELP!!!

    To up load selected photos to Facebook (or any other supported service) select the photo(s) and click on the service name in the tool bar - it will create an album in the source pane on the left and up load to the selected service. Any changes made to the album on the service or in iPhoto will be synced so they always stay the same
    TO access your photos in any open/attach window look in the lower left hand corner under media ==> photos ==> iPhoto (*the media browser) - click here for a discussion on the many correct and safe ways to access your iPhoto library photos.
    and it would be a worthwhile investment of time to take the iphoto tutorials - http://www.apple.com/findouthow/photos/ - they are very helpful and will save you a lot of time and frustration.

  • Help with downloading JSTL library

    Hi everyone,
    I've just started doing my second year degree in Multimedia Computing and am doing a year long module in JSP.

    After doing some research on the Internet I figured that I might need to download the JSTL core library off Apache's website. However when I get to the download page I don't have a clue which link to click on and what to do fromt there. There's loads of links saying things like BCSL, Cactus etc and they all have a link beside them that says KEYS and two files under each, one a .zip and the other a tar.gz but I don't have a clue which links I have to click on or anything. I have seen a few Tomcat links but don't know whether I should click on them. I just don't want to download the wrong stuff and mess up and files that are already in place in my j3t folder. If anyone could help me I'd really appreciate it! Thank you so much.

    I don't know how to award the duke points but i'll do that in a sec for you. I do have mySQL on the machine but I don't have it running. That may be why, as for the classes and that, I haven't created any. I simply copied the code out of this workbook my lecture created as an example. That may be the reason the code doesn't work, its probably because I don't have the classes he created on machine. I did just try doing a simple mathematical equation in the JSP file though and that produced the following results...
    <%@ taglib prefix="c" uri="http://java.sun.com/jsp/jstl/core" %>

  • Help with missing/replaced library

    I recently upgraded to iphoto 08. I had all my 07pics so I wanted to save them in my external harddrive to free up space so I made a copy of my iphoto library and saved it to my external hard drive.
    I was recently traveling and did not have my external hard drive with me. I had some new pics I wanted to upload so when I did it said it could not find my library and asked me if I wanted to create one. I said yes and it put all my new pics in my iphoto. When I got back home and hooked up my external hard drive I didnt get any new edits... when I went to look in my external harddrive for my 07 pics...my iphoto library there had been replaced with the new content as well and my 07 pics are missing..?
    Any Idea where my other pictures are and how I can access them.
    I dont think they are gone because I made an imovie using some of those pics and the pics are still availabe in my imovie (but not my library).
    Any help is appreciated... Barbi..

    Barbi:
    It appears that you currently have two libraries, one on your laptop with the most recent photos and the original one on the external HD. To open one or the other launch iPhoto with the Option key depressed, and when asked, select the option to Choose Library. Navigate to the library you want to open and select it. Or you can use the free version of iPhoto Library Manager to quickly move between libraries.
    If you want to copy your photos from the laptop library to the external HD library you can use the paid version of iPLM to do that and that will preserve any keywords, title changes or comments.

  • Help with GCC4 $LDBLStub library errors

    At my work we use allot of custom shared libraries. under gcc 3.3 we were able to compile and create these libraries and work with our code, i am currently tring to upgrade to gcc 4 and i have noticed that our systems wont compile anymore. one of our custom functions xprintf in the library is called my other libraries and in the main code. it live in a library called pst.o
    when i compile the other libraries gcc 4 appends the following undefined symboles
    _xprintf$LDBLStub
    to the other programs
    gcc 3.3 did not do this and it would create
    _xprintf only
    is there a way to make gcc 4 do the same thing
    this is neccesary because i am trying to create univeral binaries to run on ppc and intel
    gcc version 4.0.1 (Apple Computer, Inc. build 5341)

    I have actually found the problem but i dont know how to solve it. i am hoping that you can help.
    imn out programms we use the macro -D printf=xprintf because we use a speacial format for output.
    in gcc 4.0 it seems to take this and create the $LDBLStub symole when you perform a macro subtitution i am not sure how to disable this and i can find a solution to it.

  • Help with Script created to check log files.

    Hi,
    I have a program we use in our organization on multiple workstations that connect to a MS SQL 2005 database on a Virtual Microsoft 2008 r2 Server. The program is quite old and programmed around the days when serial connections were the most efficient means
    of connection to a device. If for any reason the network, virtual server or the SAN which the virtual server runs off have roughly 25% utilization or higher on its resources the program on the workstations timeout from the SQL database and drop the program
    from the database completely rendering it useless. The program does not have the smarts to resync itself to the SQL database and it just sits there with "connection failed" until human interaction. A simple restart of the program reconnects itself
    to the SQL database without any issues. This is fine when staff are onsite but the program runs on systems out of hours when the site is unmanned.
    The utilization of the server environment is more than sufficient if not it has double the recommended resources needed for the program. I am in regular contact with the support for the program and it is a known issue for them which i believe they do not
    have any desire to fix in the near future. 
    I wish to create a simple script that checks the log files on each workstation or server the program runs on and emails me if a specific word comes up in that log file. The word will only show when a connection failure has occurred.
    After the email is sent i wish for the script to close the program and reopen it to resync the connection.
    I will schedule the script to run ever 15 minutes.
    I have posted this up in a previous post about a month ago but i went on holidays over xmas and the post died from my lack or response.
    Below is what i have so far as my script. I have only completed the monitoring of the log file and the email portion of it. I had some help from a guy on this forum to get the script to where it is now. I know basic to intermediate scripting so sorry for my
    crudity if any.
    The program is called "wasteman2G" and the log file is located in \\servername\WasteMan2G\Config\DCS\DCS_IN\alert.txt
    I would like to get the email side of this script working first and then move on to getting the restart of the program running after.
    At the moment i am not receiving an error from the script. It runs and doesn't complete what it should.
    Could someone please help?

    be able to help.
    What i am doing is searching the log file. Finding the specific words then outputting them to an email. I havent used bmail before so thats probably my problem but then im using bmail to send me the results.
    Then im clearing the log file so the next day it is empty so that when i search it every 15 minutes its clean and only when an error occurs it will email me.
    Could you help me send the output via email using bmail or blat?

  • Help with a fcpx library that is locked "could not be opened. Read-only file system"

    Hi all,
    I recently moved all my fcpx projects/events to a new Harddrive - I thought I did this correctly by copying/duplicating all projects/events from within FCPX.
    When I last used FCPX all the projects/events were there - no issues.  Also, when I look at package contents - everything is still there in terms of events and file sizes.  
    All the library files are on an external hard drive, on an encrypted disk image.  Now a week later I have tried to open FCPX and I get the following error
    "The document “MND_Z_FCPX” could not be opened. Read-only file system" and nothing will open.
    Have checked permissions - these all seem in order.  OSX is10.9.5 
    Any suggestions as to what might be the issue? 
    Thanks in advance.
    R

    the permissions themselves look ok - they have my two computer profiles as read/write.   I also note that on some occasions the library has opened in my other Computer profile, but not in the one that I want it to open.
    So I think you're right, there is something with permissions happening here.  I keep a work and personal computer profile.
    Don't know how it happened - but the volume is definitely Read Only - even though I've created a Read/Write permissions for it

  • Help with itunes music library view

    My itunes library view is only showing purcahsed items, not my full music library.  I've checked advanced preferences and am pointed to the correct library and all my files are there but they aren't showing in the library view?  I'm terrified to sync my devices and lose all of my music and playlists.

    I can't find any file with an .itl extension (but I can't find one on our other Mac, either, so it isn't just my MacBook). In addition to the iTunes Music Library.xml file, there's a file [on both our Macs] that's simply called "iTunes Libary" (the file kind is listed as "iTunes Database File") and that's the other file I read not to touch or delete.
    Would that be the one?
    It says it was created on July 3rd and last updated yesterday, so if that does turn out to be the one, then that really could be the end of the playlists. July 3rd was the day I first started trying to move my library (and failed, as the new HD was defective and ate everything I put on it before imploding, so I'm putting everything back in the original location). I didn't read the instructions not to touch the .xml file until Friday or Saturday, and I can't remember if I checked to see if the playlists were still there between the 3rd and yesterday. So it's possible I did accidentally delete it on the 3rd.
    But I think I was still seeing stuff in my playlists over the weekend, and looking at my Recent Tracks Played list on Last.fm, it looks like I was listening to stuff on at least one of my iTunes playlists on the 5th. I'm pretty sure they were still intact after the 3rd.

I say ok and what appears on screen is I have lost all my formatting. When I look at the code, creating a page from the template causes the process to change the location of (for instance) the background image gif file from ...images/background.gif to the full location name starting the string at the C:/ all the way to ...background.gif. Therefore, the created page from the template loses all of its formatting.
    How do I fix this problem????

    Okay, here I go again with this problem step by step.
    1) Created a basic page that has a header, body and footer: www.goodimage.com and saved it as maintemp.html .
    2) I saved maintemp.html in the normal place where all the html are stored because as I was creating the template it told me I needed to save the page I was working on. So I decided to store it as an html until as it was layed out. Then I went to FILE/SAVE AS TEMPLATE storing it as maintemp.dwt.
    3) Then I created an edItable area called BODY.
    4) Then I did a FILE/SAVE AS TEMPLATE or tried to. As part of this process it wants to know if I want to UPDATE LINKS. If I do then the links will reference the template folder (but it is the DW default - hmmm what do I do) When in doubt take the default. So I did.
    5) So now I have a nice looking template called maintemp.dwt with one editablel region. So I feel pretty good until I suspect the next problem I have been fighting all along will appear. I select FILE/NEW PAGE FROM TEMPLATE and I see goodimage site, and my template called maintemp and a nice picture of it on the right screen part. Also update page when template changes is checked. Then I select to do the action.
    6)  Upcomes an unformatted screen caused by the links not being correct. I save the page as index.html to see if it will correct itself. I does not correct itself. So the index.html page is not formatted even after I closed down DW to see if that would help. It didn't. So I could go in and manually update the page but what a mess that would be.
    7) So I will go back to create a page from the maintemp.html with the UPDATE LINKS turned off. Using maintemp.html to create a template just like in step 2). When UPDATE LINKS is not selected then the template falls apart and is unusable.
    I HAVE WASTE ABOUT THREE DAYS ON THIS ONE PROBLEM AND I HAVE BUT A FEW MORE HOURS TO GET IT DONE. ONCE THIS WORKS IT WILL GO FAST. I AM TIRED OF BEING TIRED BUT MAYBE THAT IS CAUSING MY PROBLEM. ANYWAY, PLEASE HELP AS I AM AT A LOSE.

  • Help with folder change library call

    I'm attempting to create a labview function that waits on notification of a change in a folder, specifically a new file to be created. I'm trying to use the FindFirstChangeNotification, referenced here; http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/windows/desktop/aa364417(v=vs.85).aspx 
    I've attached the .vi I'm having trouble with where I get the notification handle. It returns error 1097 when run. Any ideas?

    The WinAPI solution you provided has just about all things configured wrongly in the Call Library Node. This version should be correct for both LabVIEW 32 Bit and 64 Bit and also provides the additional calls to be functional. It is not a perfect implementation if you want to wait repeatetly on the same event as there, one should not call FindFirstChangeNotification() each time but instead use FindNextChangeNotification() on subsequent calls. Also for a truely reusable library the creation of the handle, the subsequent reinitialization, and the waiting on the handle should probably be put in their own VI functions each. But it gives at least a correct Call Library Node configuration for the function calls involved.
     One caveat with this VI. It will block the LabVIEW thread in which it is called for the duration of the timeout (indefinitely with the default value that is in the VI) and LabVIEW can not be stopped in this situation, not even with the Abort button, since LabVIEW does not allow to reset a threads state when it is in external code. The only solution to get out of this state is killing the LabVIEW process (usually with the Task Manager) or forcing a change on the directory according to the configured change filter.
