How to mount TC automatically (for iTunes)

hi there,
i have my iTunes library on a Time Capsule.  in this case it is very important to mount the TC before opening iTunes as otherwise iTunes will revert to the default library location.
is there a way to make the TC mount automatically in order to avoid mounting the TC before opening iTunes?

An Automator Script run manually or as a Login Startup Item  will do the trick.
There are several canned ones - Professor Google is your friend.

  • How long does it takes for iTunes to restore software on a 5s?

    How long does it takes for iTunes to restore software in a iPhone?

    There are three major portions involved in a restore:
    1.  Downloading the latest copy of iOS to your Mac for installation on the iPhone.
    2.  Installing the software from your Mac onto the iPhone.
    3.  Restoring all the contents of your iPhone (except iOS, which was done in the above step).
    Step 1 will depend on your Mac's download speed.  We are talking about downloading more than 1GB.
    Step 2 should take about 10 minutes or less.
    Step 3 will depend on how much personal stuff (e.g., apps, photos, music) you had on your iPhone.  It might take minutes, or an hour or more.

    Read the steps carefully as the order in which you follow them is  critical. Note that you can do this only when creating a new Apple ID. You cannot use an existing ID. 
    You will of course not be able to get anything other than the free apps,  iTunes U content or podcasts without entering in some sort of payment method (credit card, prepaid iTunes card, gift certificate, etc.)

  • How I change the icon for iTunes songs?

    When I drag iTunes songs onto my desktop the icon is white with a gray iTunes icon. How can change this icon for all of my iTunes songs?

    Thanks Patrick. I used Control-Click on the actual audio file on my desktop opened the Show View Options menu and turned off the icon preview option. That changed my icons from gray with a white background to red with a white background which is exactly what I wanted.  You pointed me in the right direction. Appreciate it.

  • How to adjust start up for iTunes Helper.exe

    XP Home, SP2, iTunes 7.1.0.59,
    in msconfig there are two start up iTunes releated items:
    iTuneshelper.exe,
    qttask.exe
    I wish to tweak my system and remove these from Starting up, thus, msconfig startup, and access them only when I start iTunes or something related to Quick Time.
    Please advise in explicit detail how to adjust the settings for both iTunes and Quick Time so as to have them only start when I turn them on manually.
    Thank you in advance,
    Robert
    HP Pavilion ZE 4230   Windows XP   1.83Ghz, 512 RAM, 40GB HDD, 250GB external HDD

    qttask is just the system tray icon for Quicktime. You can stop this from the advanced tab of Qicktime preferences.
    There isn't a simple adjustment for iTunesHelper.exe. It doesn't use significant resources unless something is wrong and you should leave it alone.
    There is a short piece on what the background processes do here:

    If you must control iTunesHelper startup, maybe something like Winpatrol would help help.

  • How to convert wma files for iTunes

    I will appreciate any help from anyone who shows me how to play wma audio files in Itunes. I do not want to use an outside non-Apple  audio video converter. The quick time program plays the audio file but I do not know how to bring it in the Itunes Library.
    Thank you

    Converting WMA Files
    In iTunes for Windows, you can convert your unprotected WMA files to AAC files (or whatever file format is chosen in the Importing pane of iTunes Preferences) without changing the original WMA file. Simply drag the WMA files into your library in iTunes and iTunes does the grunt work, converting them for you. Windows Media Player 9 or later must be installed to convert unprotected WMA files. Protected WMA files cannot be converted.

    No, sorry but it isn't. The TC is designed for Time Machine. It has no way to back itself up, and TM cannot backup network drives. It is slow to respond to requests because the green drive has built in fast spin down and slow spin up. The TC has no media smarts.. it has no smarts at all actually. It is a dumb as a board hard disk in an almost equally dumb router.. you can think of it as dumb and dumber!!
    The how to do is discussed all over the place.. Apple have instructions on moving the itunes libary.. just look it up.

    Thanks
    That is near to the ideal setup.. a mini makes a great media computer.. and will support iTunes.. just plug in an external drive and then TM can back it up.

  • How to set default ipod for itunes?

    I have a computer with 4 ipods registered to it, one dating back 4 years now (orinal style). Since then I had upgraded to the ipod video which after 6 months broke and had to be replaced and am on my second one. In addition to those 3 ipods, my girlfriend now uses my computer and has her ipod registered as well.
    I like to use the auto sync technology with the orginal smart playlists and find that ever since I added numerous ipods, I cannot update the smartlists nor have them synced to my ipod.
    Is there a way to un register the old ipods that I dont have anymore and set a default ipod? My girlfried doesnt mind manual syncing her ipod each time.
    Please help.

    There's no "default" ipod for itunes. It should recognize each one by its unique serial number.
    Only one ipod connected at a time, I hope?
    looks like you are using method 2 from this article:
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1495
    There's really no formal "unregister ipod" command, but restoring to factory settings would be the closest.
