  • How do i synchronize ipod nano music with my new mac. v

    How do I sync the music on ipod nao with new mac. Itunes library is almost empty. when i sync my empty library on mac will delete all music on ipod

    You should be able to copy iTunes purchases from your iPod to your computer's iTunes via File > Transfer Purchases. For music from other sources (e.g. copied from CDs), have you not got a backup of your content on, for example, an external drive ? If not then you will need to find a third-party program that can copy them off the iPod and onto your computer.

  • How do i move ipod nano content to a new Windows computer?  My old computer died and when i try to sync to itunes on my new Windows computer, it says it will erase what's on the ipod.  I can't seem to de-authorize the old computer (it's been recycled).

    Hi, I'm an ipod newbie, and unsure of what product i have-i believe it's an ipod nano, but can't seem to find any info on itunes that will identify my product.
    how do i move ipod nano music to a new Windows 7 computer?  My old computer died and when i try to sync to itunes on my new Windows computer, it says it will erase what's on the ipod.  I can't seem to de-authorize the old computer (it's been recycled).  Does this mean I have to start all over and read in my CD's into itunes?  seems very inflexible/inelegant...
    thanks for your help, sorry if this question has already been answered before!

  • How do I synchronize my e-mail accounts and folders

    Hi everybody on this line...
    I am using a Powerbook + a Mini mac and I would very much like to read/delete/save all my incoming e-mail on both machines without doing the work twice (on each machine). So how do I synchronize my e-mail accounts and folders (when I delete on e-mail on one of the mac it will also be deleted on the other machine or if I move an e-mail to a folder, it would also me moved to the same folder on the other machine).
    I am award of the possibilities that .mac give me but as far as I know I can only use .mac for my mac e-mail account ([email protected]) and not for my other accounts that I have from my internet provider ([email protected]) which is a pop account.
    I hope you understand my question.
    Thanks in advance

    You're welcome.
    Could you please make a totally run down (step by step) of
    how to synchronize one mail account between to machines.
    There is nothing else to say, really. Locally stored mailboxes cannot be synchronized, period. Mailboxes stored on the server are synchronized automatically without you having to do anything else. If there is something you don't understand, you'll have to ask specific questions.
    The only way to have an exact copy of all your mail in both computers for locally stored mailboxes is to copy the entire ~/Library/Mail folder between them every time. Mail shouldn't be running on either computer while you do this, and it would be a good idea to copy ~/Library/Preferences/com.apple.mail.plist as well.
    right now the inbox of my Imap account is showed
    together with my other e-mail accounts inboxex
    As it should be. Mail organizes the standard mailboxes by type instead of by account, so that you can look at them both individually and combined as if you had just one of each type.
    ut it is also showed futher down in my "menu" wtihin
    the mail program, with a logo as a black ball,
    together with two folders that I have made (Prut
    mappe) and (choir OF young believers).
    This is also normal. I assume the "menu" you're talking about is the mailboxes list. Since Mail organizes standard mailboxes by type, the rest of mailboxes must be shown separately. In Mail 2.x, local custom "On My Mac" mailboxes are shown ungrouped at the root level of the mailboxes list, and an account group is displayed for each IMAP account to organize custom mailboxes stored on the server.

  • How can I synchronize my iPhoto events? my iTunes doesn't read them and with the app Images in the iPad I can only find Photos, Albums, Faces and Places, not Events.

    How can I synchronize my iPhoto events? my iTunes doesn't read them and with the app Images in the iPad I can only find Photos, Albums, Faces and Places, not Events.

    I had a problem a couple of months ago when iPhotos suddenly rearranged the order of my Events (Why won't iPhoto let me arrange my photos?) .  I was told "Use albums not events - events are not a good way to organize - albums and folder are designed for organisation and are very flexible".
    Haha!  I should have paid attention and read between the lines!  My iPhotos were highly organised groupings - not according to date but the way I wanted them - and it was so easy to do!  I see now that if I had them all in albums, as per the Apple Apologist suggestion, I wouldn't have this unholy mess I have been left with just to make iPhone & iCloud users happy.  I am now going through Photos and making Albums (of what used to be in my Events)  ... maybe I'll get this finished before they do another non user friendly update!

  • How do you synchroniz​e accesses to a LabVIEW Shared Variable?

    I would like to create an ad-hoc weather station program (I'll explain more in a bit).  I am using LabVIEW 8.0 Full Edition, and I would like to share data over a network between stations with the LabVIEW Shared Variable.  Here's what I want to be able to do:
    A node would start up, and begin publishing data to a network via a shared variable.
    The shared variable is an array of clusters
    The cluster information would hold things like:
    Station Name
    Station Location
    Weather information cluster (temperature, rainfall, windspeed, wind direction, etc...)
    Timestamp of last update
    When a new node would like to enter, it would bind to the shared variable, grow the array, and add its information.
    If a node's Station Name and Station Location is already in the shared variable, it would merely update the information in the cluster.
    Viewing nodes could pop in, bind to the shared variable, and read/display the information at any time. 
    I am trying to enumerate problems with this before implementing, and I have run into a stinker of a problem that I am not sure how to solve.  How do I synchronize accesses to the LabVIEW Shared Variable?  If I read the variable, modify it, and write it back, I will undoubtedly run into a race condition where 2 nodes attempt to update its data and I will lose the data written by the first node - Node A reads, Node A modifies, Node B reads, Node A writes, Node B Modifies, Node B Writes, and thus the modifications made by Node A are lost.  In my specific application losing some data isn't critical, but if not remedied this type of problem could cause massive amounts of data to be lost when there are numerous nodes, and that is definitely not acceptable. 
    Does anyone have any recommendations on how to synchronize the read-modify-write operations on the data in the Shared Variable?
    -Danny

    Wendy,
    I am afraid Semaphores are not network-shared objects (to my knowledge), they are system-level objects that use operating-system synchronization mechanisms.  If I were synchronizing on a single machine, a semaphore might be a valid mechanism; as an aside, most user-mode semaphores are designed to synchronize within a single process - to synchronize between processes you need to store the semaphore in the Kernel, and to synchronize over a network you would need a network node to handle serialization of requests.  My Shared Variable is published over a network, and to my knowledge there are no network-published synchronization mechanisms available - mostly because there is no way to currently perform an atomic test-and-set on the Shared Variable (am I correct?) and there isn't a mechanism for blocking access to a Shared Variable from another network device/machine (or is there?).  I've been looking for some way to implement an atomic test-and-set but I am running into a wall; I know that if I select the "single writer" attribute of the Shared Variable I can get LabVIEW to force a single writer allowing me to have an atomic "set", but I need more than that.
    If only there was a network-shared Semaphore or some way to block other network accesses to the Shared Variable I would be in business - something like what I want doesn't exist, does it?
    Thanks!
    -Danny

    how to transfer files from nano to a pc?

    What files?
    The music sync is one way -computer to ipod.  The exception is itunes purchases.  File>Transfer Purchases.
    As everything came from your computer in the first place, it should still be there.

  • How durable is an ipod nano 2nd generation

    hello everyone..
    ok so i have posted a question as too wether or not sand might cause harm to an ipod(solved.)
    but now i wanna know.. how durable is an ipod nano?
    now im not encouraging ppl to do crazy tests on their precious ipod nano but just please tell me what little 'accidents' u have done to ur ipods eg. dropped it whilst jogging,left it in ur pocket when u put your clothes in the wash, or dropped it in the toilet(ewww.) etc. and what the results were.
    oh yea and how it compares to the first gen. nano in scratchability if u own both.
    thanks (in advance):)

    Oh all of my ipods ive never prefered smelly leather either. I tried a silicone case adn didnt like how it felt or how it attracted dust easily. If you wnat to show off the color of your ipod then you might be interested in a case liek this
    http://www.xtrememac.com/cases/new_nano/microshield.php
    another hot alternative that grew in popularity for the original ipod nano was an invisible shield casue of how tough it was though it was tedious to apply.
