How can I download only part of my library?

I've started purchasing movies to stream to my television through AppleTV, but I'm running out of space on my MacBook Pro. I'm considering buying a Mac Mini and running it as part of my entertainment system instead of storing the movies on the laptop. Once that's working, I'd like to remove the movies from the laptop to free up disk space. So--
Is it possible to authorize two machines (laptop, Mac Mini) on an iTunes account but then only download purchases to one or the other? If so, how? In this case, I'd like to download purchased movies to the Mac Mini and music and books to the laptop.
Thanks.

TS1286 why when i connect my ipod touch to my PC it does not show under devices and how can i download music from my itunes library

I am trying to download music from my itunes library onto my ipod touch, however, when i click on 'devices' it is shaded out and i cannot click on it, how can i download my music

iOS: Device not recognized in iTunes for Windows
Have you synced with this compouter before?

With 2 devices, how do I sync only part of the library on one device? That is, sync only music and not the podcasts.

Trying to sync part of a library on one device and all of the library on another. Not finding any options to select only parts of a library to be sync'ed. Any help appreciated.

In ipod menu in iTunes, tick the "manually manage music and videos" then select the items that you want to sync. Cheers!

How can I play only part of a song (stop the song short) during a slideshow in iphoto and fade into the next song?

I am making a slideshow and I only want to play half of one song and fade into the next. How can I do this?

You need an slideshow app that gives you more control over the Soundtrack.
Alternatives to iPhoto's slideshow include:
iMovie, on every Mac sold.
Others, in order of price: PhotoPresenter $29
PhotoToMovie $49.95
PulpMotion $129
FotoMagico $29 (Home version) ($149 Pro version, which includes PhotoPresenter)
Final Cut Express $199
It's difficult to compare these apps. They have differences in capability - some are driven off templates. some aren't. Some have a wider variety of transitions. Others will have excellent audio controls. It's worth checking them out to see what meets your needs. However, there is no doubt that Final Cut Express is the most capable app of them all. You get what you pay for.

I have an ipad 2 that has about 300 books on the Ibook app. This weekend i'm buying a mini Ipad, now my questions is this: I don't want all of the books on Ibook on my new Ipad. Can I just download the books that I want on Ibook? How do I do that? Can anybody help me please?

In the settings you can choose to not automatically update content so you can manually manage the books on the mini.

Hi,
I built a VI using LabVIEW 7.0 that detects the valleys in a sine wave. It uses the 'Peak detector' VI that I believe is available in the evaluation version.
(Functions palette >> All Functions >> Analyze >> Signal Processing >> Time Domain >> Peak Detector)
I have attached a VI as well as the screen shots its front panel and block diagram.
I hope this helps.
Sincerely,
Feroz

How can I transfer only part of a playlist to iPod?

This new iTunes is a nightmare. Because the **** iPod touch is only 16GB, I want to transfer PART of several playlists to the iPod. I do not want to delete songs from my Library permanently, I only want to have the same playlists on my iPod as I have in iTunes, but reduced versions of them because of the size limitation. I also want to jkeep the same basic playlist structure as my overall library, but only a portion of each playlist will end up on the iPod. In previous versions of iTunes, I could drag an entire palylist to the iPod, then I could go in and delete songs or albums from the iPod in order to fit other playlists. This version will not let me do that. Please help!

What exactly is the nightmare part? Playlists are the same as they've always been.
Perhaps one idea, after we find out exactly what the issue is that you are having, is to create Smart Playlists, and use those to Sync to your iPod.
With a Smart Playlist, you set rules. You could create a Smart Playlist that looks at you first Playlist, but only includes songs that haven't been played for a while. So after a song has been played, it is removed from the Playlist and only put back again after x weeks, or x months, according to your preferences and the size of the Playlist.
All that happens automatically, at Sync time. So after setting them up, you don't have to do anything except Sync the iPod every now and again, and possibly modify the rules if you find the list is still too large, or now not large enough.

How can I OCR only part of a long document?

OCR with a pdf file is usually very simple. Not here. This is a legal-type document (PDF) with with line numbers on the left and vertical lines on both sides of the text I want to OCR. If OCR includes the line numbers I will have to spend hours removing them. The left side also include a law firm's name and the bottom has the title of the document, both of which I have blocked out. (Line numbering was fairly common on pre-printed legal stationery in the typewriter days; most courts have gotten beyond the way things were done in those days but obviously. It obviously makes OCR a challenge!) In much earlier versions of Acrobat I used a simple tool called Eraser from a British firm (long gone) that neatly erased anything from a pdf file, such as all the stuff I want to get rid of here, before running the OCR and saving the document as a Word file. That tool does not work with Acrobat 9 and the version I am now using, Acrobat X. Oh, and just retyping all the text is not an option for me.
There MUST be a way to do this! Any suggestions?

Redaction will certainly do the job but it is horribly tedious**. My document is 19 pages. With 3 such redactions per page I am looking at close to 60 redactions, one at a time. All the redactions are identical. That is, the stuff I want to remove on the left side of the page is the same for each of the 19 pages. Same with the stuff to be removed on the right and the bottom. I can't see any way to apply my redaction to more than 1 page at a time. If doing so is impossible is there a way to extract (by cropping or otherwise) the part of the page I want to use? Obviously it is the same for all 19 pages. Is it possible that what I want to remove is in some removable "layer" separate from the text in question?
**Even more tedious than the low tech solution I have been using for the occasions when I confronted this problem:
Print a copy of the document
Using scissors cut out the stuff I want to get rid of, a few pages at a time.
Using Acrobat scan the resulting document
Save the result as a PDF file
Open the PDF file and save is as a Word file
Open the Word file and copy/paste the absurdly formatted text into a clean Word document. This strips out the bizarre formatting due to the scanning process.
Clean up the new Word document, save it and
Finally get to work using the text.
FYI the test I want to extract or get consists of written interrogatories or questions for which I must prepare responses. I want the responses to include the questions.

How do I transfer only part of my library to a new MBP?

My son just got a new MBP for college. What is the best way to transfer *only his music and playlists* to his new MBP?

The portable Firewire drive is probably a faster option.
If playcounts, etc are important to him or if you want to try and do this with the least amount of work on your part, I would plug in the portable drive to your computer and drag & drop your iTunes folder (not just the iTunes Music folder you find inside the iTunes folder) to the external drive and copy the entire thing.
Now take he drive and plug it into his new Mac. Again, drag & drop your iTunes folder to his Mac's internal drive and copy the entire thing. I would use the default location of his user account -> Music folder.
If he opens iTunes now it should read the entire library in and will appear just like it does on your computer. If not you can force iTunes to see it by opening iTunes with these instructions and pointing it to the newly copies in library...
How to open an alternate iTunes Library file or create a new one

At this point he has everything and now to get rid of yoru stuff and free up his hard drive, he can simply start deleting everything out of the library he is not interested in. Let him do all the work there.
All playlists, playcounts, ratings, etc. are all preserved and you only had to do two things, copy that folder twice.
Let me know if the above presents an issue and we need to do it a different way.

Patrick

How can I delete only one part of my xml file?

Hello,
I stored more than 100 users in only one xmltype column. For instance
Create table agro(users XMLTYPE);
... and I inserted all users inside
INSERT INTO agro values(XMLTYPE
('<?xml version="1.0" encoding="ISO-8859-1"?>
<authentication><users><user>
<name>cocoon</name>
<password>cocoon</password>
<role>admin</role>
<title>Mr.</title>
<firstname>Walter</firstname>
<lastname>Cocoon</lastname>
<company />
<street />
<zipcode />
<city />
<country>DE</country>
<phone />
<fax />
<email />
<bankid />
<bankname />
<accountid />
</user>
... another user, etc.
</users></authentication>'));
Now I tried to delete only one part of this file. For example all persons with the name"cocoon".
I used for this target the following statement:
DELETE FROM agro agro
WHERE agro.users.extract('authentication/users/user/text()').getStringVal()= 'cocoon';
When I execute this statement, Oracle DB delete all users and not only with the name "Cocoon".
How can I delete only one part of my xml file?

This the expected behavoir. You uploaded a document containing multiple users and then asked XML DB to delete any documnet that contained a user with the name in question. The problem here is that you are creating a mega document that contains an aggregation of user documents but then trying to work with individual user documents. This is a bad idea.
In general XML does not understand the concept of a collection of documents. It can only operate on one document at a time. Hence the tendancy to aggregate individual documents into a single larger document. Once you have an XML database, you can perform operations on collections of document, as easily as you can perform operations on individual documents, so the need to aggregate the individual documents together disappears.
If you store each user document as a seperate document then your delete will work as expected.
