How do I get my iTunes (both purchased and cd's) into the cloud as I cannot use match my iMac and MacBook are too old to use the right OS and maxed out RAM memory upgrades, but have iPhone 4S and now 64gb iPad and libraries on desktops plus iPod!!

So very excited bought iPad and new speakers today! Want to get all my music sorted as across iMac (G5), MacBook os 10.6 (maxed out ram and memory) and old iPod. Saw Match would be an option but can't use due to old OS so I can get the raw music library files but then what do I do to get all in one place? Any help appreciated.

A good route would be to attach a USB drive to the macbook. You can use the drive to assemble a copy of all of your music from your various devices. iTunes on the macbook can be used to create a new library, located on the USB drive, into which you can import all of your music.
Two major benefits:
1. From here you can run iTunes Match across your entire music collection; and
2. You will have created a full local backup of all of your music on the USB drive.
Once complete you will be able to access the music from any iDevice capable of running iTunes Match, Do remember as you add music it is important to maintain a local backup in order to keep your music safe.

HT5085 I have lots of music stored on my PC in itunes both purchased and loaded from CDs how do I get this onto my ipad or iphone

I have loads of music both purchased and loaded from my CDs stored in itunes on my PC Im running Windows XP, the music is also on my ipod Nano.
How do I get the library complete onto my ipad and iphone. I have also purchased Cloud storage with Knowhow but cant get the music to go from my external hard drive into the LIvedrive briefcase without a copy going onto the hard drive on my computer, which I dont want as it doesnt have the capacity to store the music.

Correct, it will only be one-level, the Photos app doesn't support sub-albums - the sub-folders photos will be included in the parent's album.
If you select My Pictures at the top of the Photos tab when syncing, then you should get an album for each folder that is directly under it - so if I understand correctly what you described then that would mean an album for 2013, one for 2012 etc. And each of those should include all the photos in the subfolders under it - so 2013 would include the photos from the events and months subfolders under it.
You can't sync them separately, only the contents of the last sync remains on the iPad, by not including a folder in the next photo sync you are effectively telling iTunes that you no longer want that folder/album on the iPad so it will be removed and be replaced by the contents of the new sync (you can't delete synced photos directly on the iPad, instead they are deleted by not including them in the next sync).
The app that I use, Photo Manager Pro, allows you to select and copy a folder (via FTP), but you would need to select each subfolder individually, which if you have a lot would be time-consuming (I think that if you select '2013' it would ignore the folders beneath it).

HT2736 how can i get a itunes gift cards and itunes gifts code ?

how can i get a itunes gift code?

Whether you can get an iTunes gift card depends upon what country that you are in - they are not available in all countries and they are country-specific, they can only be used in their country of issue and only onto accounts that are based in that country. If they are available in your country then you might be able to get them from Apple, or from electrical stores, supermarkets etc

How do I get synced iTunes U episodes and other podcasts to play in "correct" order?

More than just a couple iTunes U classes and other podcasts I have downloaded somehow have incorrect clock or date issues that (so far) make it impossible to listen to them in the correct order on my ipod.
Is there a way within iTunes to correct the organization information for podcasts or lectures produced by other parties?

If you keep them in the Podcasts section the order is determined by the feed, as is the data, and you can't alter them. If you drag them out to the Desktop you can rename them in a way which will get them to sort properly, and repimport them - though they will then turn up in the Music list and be treated as songs. They may well not carry any embedded data, so you may need to re-enter it manually.

How does metadata get changed by both Lightroom and another application??

I am frequently getting the message "The metadata for this photo has been changed by both Lightroom and another application. Should Lightroom import settings from disk or overwrite disk settings with those from the catalog?" on images in my catalog. I use only Lightroom to organize, add keywords, do basic adjustments, etc. On the occasions I am taking an image into Photoshop to do further work, it's exported as a TIFF or PSD and the original stays in the LR catalog untouched by anything else I might do to the image.
I have two choices with this message: Use Lightroom's settings, OR overwrite them from disc. The first few times this scared me, as I had no idea where those changes were coming from and why the disc file had something different than the lightroom catalog. I have all my metadata saved in XMP files. But I took the chance and said overwrite LR settings, and saw nothing change on the sliders or image being displayed. I then tried a few saying 'keep LR settings', and again I saw no visible signs of changes. That leads me to believe that they are NOT changed but LR things they are somehow. But I don't like seeing it, I want it to go away unless there really are changes happening outside of LR (like if I went into Bridge or something...)
Any ideas why this message shows up? I just discovered about 100 images in a collection of images I sent to stock agency three years ago, and haven't done anything with them outside of LR since.
Thanks for any help you can give.

Users have complained for years about spurious metadata-has-changed notifications. If you're confident that you're not editing the file itself outside of LR, then choosing Overwrite Settings will rewrite the metadata in the file with the catalog metadata and (usually) make the spurious notification go away.
Unfortunately, LR doesn't tell you which metadata fields have changed, so users are left flying blind. I believe Rob Cole had a plugin that would tell you metadata differences between the catalog and the disk file, but his Web site has been down for a couple of weeks now.
ManiacJoe: My guess is that Photoshop is updating some EXIF data fields in the raw file, for example the "edited with software" field. Since Lightroom probably has already set that field, it gives you a warning that something changed.
Interesting hypothesis. I just tested that with LR 5.7.1, Photoshop CC 2014, OS X 10.10 and couldn't reproduce the problem. I exported a TIFF from a cataloged raw file into the same folder as the raw, edited the TIFF and changed some of its metadata in Photoshop, and saved it. LR didn't report a metadata-has-changed notification.
In general, I'd be (only moderately) surprised that if you edited x.tif in PS, it would change any metadata in x.cr2 or x.xmp.

How can I get my audiobooks I purchased and lost with the iOS 5

I recently updated to iOS 5 and lost all music and audiobooks ...am I supposed to buy them again? I'm lost..please help

I haven't upgraded to iOS 5 yet or icloud for that matter. Open itunes and look at the left panel under "Library" and "Books" is there. Did it just delete books & music from your iPod or from your actual Mac computer's iTunes library? If it's only your iPod then I imagine re-syncing with itunes music, etc would do it. I don't normally sync music every time I connect my Touch (I just drag new stuff to the iPod) so the last major update it deleted music (and messed up my apps, I can't make it stop restoring apps I don't want it to) and podcasts and videos and books and audiobooks. Some of the books I just went into the respective apps (Kindle, etc) or their websites to re-download them. I'm waiting to finish "Godfather of Katmandu" before trying iOS 5.
Hope that helped some, AndyB, NH.

How do I get my Mac Book Pro desk top back to the right size?

My son was using my Mac Book Pro this morning and managed to enlarge both the desk top and any browser I use - Safari, Firefox etc. I am unable to get them back to the right size and have to keep shifting across to see what files I have etc. Can anyone give me advice on how to put it back to normal. I have tried looking at 'view options' and also in trackpad, mouse and keyboard in preferences but to no avail. Note that the files on the desk top are not smaller or bigger - it is the actual desktop which has increased in size and is no longer contained within the frame of the screen. Would be grateful for any help and thank you.

Did you try CONTROL and two finger drag on the trackpad?
Ciao.

How can I get my Nikon D3x raw images to download into the organizer of Elements 6.0

I recently purchased a Nikon D3x and have been unable to view my raw images in Elements 6.0. I have downloaded the Raw 5.4 update. When that did not work, i uninstalled Elements and the 5.4 update and reinstalled them again. I am able to download the raw photos into the Elements Downloader, but once the photos go to the organizer, i get the screen saying that "the file is damaged or is a format that cannot be included". According to the Adobe Tech Support Dept., Elements 6.0 is able to support the Nikon D3x, with the Raw 5.4 update. Has anyone else run into this problem and have a solution?
I would greatly appreciate any help.

Thank you for your response dj_paige.
I was able to see that the 4.2 that came with the Elements 6.0 is still on my computer (by going to the (Orange tab ) Edit/Help/About plug in). I could not find the 4.2 listed separately anywhere on the computer so that I could delete it. Is there a way to do this? I am a true novice, so when you say to make sure the old plug in is removed from the File Formats folder are you talking about in Tools?
I am talking about the File Formats folder that gets created when you install PSE. You have obviously been to that folder already because you said you installed Adobe Camera Raw 5.4. Go to that folder in Windows, and make sure that the old plug-in (which was named CameraRaw.8bi, but may have been renamed by you) is deleted from that folder (not renamed, not moved to a subfolder). Then, following the instructions are on the page where you downloaded Camera Raw 5.4, install the new plug-in.

How do I get a byte array from an object passed into the JNI?

This is what my java code looks like:
public class streamedData
protected byte[] m_value = null;
public byte[] getByteArray ()
return m_value;
/* code not pertaining to this question snipped. */
jclass streamedDataClass = env->GetObjectClass(jstreamedData);
// Get methodIDs for the various NPKI_Extension methods
value = env->GetMethodID(streamedDataClass, "getByteArray", "()[B");
lstreamedData->value = (unsigned char *)malloc (lstreamedData->length);
if (lstreamedData->value == NULL)
return INSUFFICIENT_MEMORY;
memset (lstreamedData->value, 0, lstreamedData->length);
memcpy (lstreamedData->value, env->CallByteMethodA(streamedDataClass, value, NULL), lstreamedData->length);
This is not working.
My question is, how do I get a copy of or read m_value in the JNI layer? Do I have to make the byte array public and access it as a field ID?
Any help would be appreciated. Why oh why can't there be a CallByteArrayMethod????

My question is, how do I get a copy of or read m_value in the JNI layer? Do I have to make the byte array public and access it as a field ID?
You can retrieve a handle to the byte array, through a method call, as you're doing now, or by directly accessing it through GetFieldID.
In the case of the method call, you'll want to do:jmethodID getByteArrayMethod = env->GetMethodID(streamedDataClass, "getByteArray", "()[B");
jbyteArray byteArray = static_cast<jbyteArray>( env->CallObjectMethod( jstreamedData, getByteArrayMethod ) );In the case of field access, you can do:jfieldID m_valueFieldID = env->GetFieldID( streamedDataClass, "m_value", "[B" );
jbyteArray byteArray = static_cast<jbyteArray>( env->GetObjectField( jstreamedData, m_valueFieldID ) );Once you have byteArray, you need to access it using the array operations:lstreamedData->value = env->GetByteArrayElements( byteArray, 0 );
// Do what you want to do, then release the array
env->ReleaseByteArrayElements( byteArray, lstreamedData->value, 0 );As always, Jace, http://jace.reyelts.com/jace, makes this easier. For example,void printByteArray( jobject jstreamedData ) {
streamedData data( jstreamedData );
JArray<JByte> byteArray = streamedData.m_value();
for ( int i = 0; i < byteArray.length(); ++i ) {
cout << byteArray[ i ];

How do I get my iTunes album purchase to finish downloading?

My challenge is much the same as Greg's dilemma. I've never had a problem before either. In the middle of the album, it began the next song (#14), then stopped a third of the way in and would not continue the download. I've tried all the suggestions that iTunes offers for the continuance of downloading the rest of the 14 songs of a 28 song album. Help!

In chrome I'm getting green double underline hyperlinks to ads. How can I get rid of this without adding more junk to the computer?

I have both safari and chrome, because I'm used to chrome. The only extension I have is Google docs. I started getting green double underline hyperlinks to ads. How can I get rid of this without adding more junk to the computer? People suggest programs to do it, but how do I know they won't make it worse?
Is someone from Apple here and can answer?
Thanks!

You may have installed the "VSearch" trojan. Remove it as follows.
Malware is always changing to get around the defenses against it. These instructions are valid as of now, as far as I know. They won't necessarily be valid in the future. Anyone finding this comment a few days or more after it was posted should look for more recent discussions or start a new one.
Back up all data before proceeding.
Step 1
From the Safari menu bar, select
          Safari ▹ Preferences... ▹ Extensions
Uninstall any extensions you don't know you need, including any that have the word "Spigot," "Trovi," or "Conduit" in the description. If in doubt, uninstall all extensions. Do the equivalent for the Firefox and Chrome browsers, if you use either of those.
Reset the home page and default search engine in all the browsers, if it was changed.
Step 2
Triple-click anywhere in the line below on this page to select it:
/Library/LaunchAgents/com.vsearch.agent.plist
Right-click or control-click the line and select
          Services ▹ Reveal in Finder (or just Reveal)
from the contextual menu.* A folder should open with an item named "com.vsearch.agent.plist" selected. Drag the selected item to the Trash. You may be prompted for your administrator login password.
Repeat with each of these lines:
/Library/LaunchDaemons/com.vsearch.daemon.plist
/Library/LaunchDaemons/com.vsearch.helper.plist
Restart the computer and empty the Trash. Then delete the following items in the same way:
/Library/Application Support/VSearch
/System/Library/Frameworks/VSearch.framework
~/Library/Internet Plug-Ins/ConduitNPAPIPlugin.plugin
Some of these items may be absent, in which case you'll get a message that the file can't be found. Skip that item and go on to the next one.
The problem may have started when you downloaded and ran an application called "MPlayerX." That's the name of a legitimate free movie player, but the name is also used fraudulently to distribute VSearch. If there is an item with that name in the Applications folder, delete it, and if you wish, replace it with the genuine article from mplayerx.org.
This trojan is often found on illegal websites that traffic in pirated content such as movies. If you, or anyone else who uses the computer, visit such sites and follow prompts to install software, you can expect more of the same, and worse, to follow.
You may be wondering why you didn't get a warning from Gatekeeper about installing software from an unknown developer, as you should have. The reason is that the Internet criminal behind VSearch has a codesigning certificate issued by Apple, which causes Gatekeeper to give the installer a pass. Apple could revoke the certificate, but as of this writing has not done so, even though it's aware of the problem. This failure of oversight has compromised both Gatekeeper and the Developer ID program. You can't rely on Gatekeeper alone to protect you from harmful software.
*If you don't see the contextual menu item, copy the selected text to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C. In the Finder, select
          Go ▹ Go to Folder...
from the menu bar and paste into the box that opens by pressing command-V. You won't see what you pasted because a line break is included. Press return.

How can I convert the download.m4a and Info.plist into the right audio file

The topic is actually the problem that I have.
I have bought music and it was downloaded successful (all of it) but iTunes had a strange freeze while converting the files into the right audio file. Some files were converted but after the freeze no more.
I'm now left with these .tmp folders in the downloads folder which have the download.m4a and Info.plist files.
My iTunes is able to play these download.m4a files, but they show no information and covers and this is really annoying. I could write and change it all by myself, but than I would still miss some information (and covers).
Is there any way for me to convert or combine these files?
Note: I'm not able to restart any downloads, because they were successful.

Hello ed2345,
Thanks for the help, but this is not the problem.
It's hard to describe the problem, but I'll try it again, this time with pictures.
I was left with the following folders in the iTunes Downloads folder.
http://www.picfront.org/d/7yb3
These TMP Folders have a download.m4a and a Info.plist file.
After moving the audio files in iTunes a bit I get this.
http://www.picfront.org/d/7yb2
As you can see no other Information for the download.m4a than the length.
That's how the .m4p file looks like
http://www.picfront.org/d/7yb1
And this is how the same .m4a file currently looks
http://www.picfront.org/d/7yb0
Like I said, I could edit all these download.m4a files by myself but that would leave some information out.
Note: Sorry, I hope the links do not spam you with annoying ads. I don't get any but I was told that there can be some annoying one.

What version of iTunes are you running on your computer? You need to update to the current version.
