How to play songs from a folder that has been moved

I recently installed a second drive to my computer and copied the whole iTunes folder to this drive. I have just discovered that i\Tunes is still looking to the old folder location for the songs. Is there a way of mass moving this pointer, or must I individually locate each track as I want to play it, or will i have to re-rip all CD's to the new folder location?

If your really copied the iTunes folder to the external drive and not just the music files, then your library database should be there.
In order to connect to it you need a shift key start.
Hold down the shift key and start iTunes, Keep holding the shift key until you are prompted to choose/create a library. Select choose and navigate to the iTunes folder on the external drive. Choose iTunes Library.itl.
If you ever start iTunes with the drive disconnected it will default back to the interal drive and you will need to repeat the shift key start.

How do I remove a song from my ipod that has been removed from itunes but still appears on my ipod

I have an ipod touch and my problem is how to remove songs from it when they have been removed from itunes. After synching the songs still appear on the ipod. How can I fix this?

Hi empty,
Have you deleted the song from the iPod itself? Go to the songs list and swipe left on the song title. A "Delete" option should come up allowing you to directly delete the item from your iPod....
Cheers,

HELP!!! Can I get back files from a folder that has been copied over?

I had a file in the trash with the same name as a file on my desktop. I accidentally started copying it from the trash to my desktop. It erased some of the files I had on my desktop in that folder that were very important, before I could stop it from copying. Is there any way to get the files back? They had been on my desktop for a few months. I'm thinking that maybe they are stored somewhere on the computer. I tried a search but came up with nothing. I usually back up to a external hard drive but I didn't this time and I'm paying for it now!

When a file is erased, the space on the drive that the data occupies is not necessarily erased. It is just unallocated, so that other new data can use it. However, until that new data overwrites that same physical space on the drive, your old data may still be recoverable.
To do this, you need to use a data recovery tool. There are tools that specialize in data recovery, such as
http://www.prosofteng.com/products/data_rescue.php
and other tools have a have multiple functions, including data recovery
http://www.micromat.com/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=202&Itemid=107
If you want to try recovering the data using such a tool, you should stop using the Mac (or use it as little as possible). Any use of the Mac will make it more likely that the space occupied by the old data will be overwritten. If that happens, the portion that is overwritten will not be recoverable.
This is a good example of when Time Machine (part of Leopard and Snow Leopard) would be extremely helpful. It does backups to an external drive automatically, in the background, once per hour that the Mac is active. You just set it up and then forget about it. You can get any file back that you accidentally erase, even an older version of it.

You'll have to do that manually, i.e. export each album of photos to a folder with the same name located on your hard drive via the File ➙ Export ➙ File Export menu option.

Restoring from backup will result in the iPod being like it was when the backup was made. If you restore via iTunes, you have to have all the synced media in your iTunes library since those are not included in the iPod backup.

I'm moving an internal hard drive from an old computer to a new computer. How do I transfer the catalog data to my new computer so the Organizer of Photoshop Elements 6 will find the data on the hard that has been moved to the new computer?

I'm moving an internal hard drive from an old computer to a new computer. (My new compute runs Windows 8.1) How do I transfer the catalog data to my new computer so the Organizer of Photoshop Elements 6 will find the data on the hard that has been moved to the new computer? Is this possible or do I have to use the procedure of copying the catalog along with the photos to a back up hard drive and then restore them on the new computer?

The 'normal' procedure is to do a PSE organizer backup (not a copy or a backup from external tools) to an external drive, then a restore to the new location.
The advantage is that you have a backup of both catalog and media files and you don't have all disconnected files, which would happen with external backup tools. Also, if you restore with a more recent elements version, the catalog will be automatically updated to the new format.
The drawback in your situation is that you'll have either to overwrite all your files or restore to a custom location, creating a duplicate photo library (which supposes you have enough free space).
It would be possible to simply use the organizer in the old PC to move the catalog to a new 'custom' folder just under your C: root drive. The catalog would be accessible once the drive will be installed in the new PC. Then you would have all files 'disconnected' due to the fact that all your media files are now on a drive with a different letter. Reconnecting a whole library is a hard job with PSE6, less so with PSE11/PSE12.
If the idea of fiddling with the sqlite database with external sqlite manager tools is ok for you, I can describe the process more in detail. You only copy your catalog folder (as suggested above) to another location. Instead of trying the 'reconnection' way, you install the sqlite utility on the new computer. When the old drive is installed in the new computer, you simply edit a given record in the catalog database, catalog.psedb, and start the organizer with your copied catalog by simply double clicking the 'catalog.psedb' file.
Even if the last solution is much, much quicker, I would still create a new PSE backup : you have never too much safety .

Why does Epson app for the iphone show a folder that has been deleted from my camera roll?

Why does the Epson app for my iphone 4 show a folder that has been deleted from my camera roll for months now?

Thanks @pdroth. I did a quick Google search of DB indexing. I'm not sure I found exactly what you were referring to but I see where you're going with it. I can understand that indexing my database of stored photos can be time consuming. It's frustrating that the space can't be recognized as being free more quickly.
I notice that some items I delete seem to free up the space much more quickly. Removing an app entirely or deleting from my Music generally shows up as available space in Usage pretty quickly.
Deleting a photo or video from the Camera Roll will take MUCH longer, so I guess that has something to do with the indexing process you are referring to.
I'd like to point out that when I run out of space on an SD card on any budget point and click digital camera that I can quickly delete a picture or two and INSTANTLY be able to take a couple of new photos in their place. I guess I just have that same expectation for the $500+ engineering marvel I have in my hand right now.
Thanks for chiming in.

how do i find my ipod touch that has been stolen and it is not hooked up to wifi so i can locate it on the map so i can take a cop and get it back

No app is required.
- If you previously turned on FIndMyiPod on the iPod in Settings>iCloud and wifi is on and connected go to iCloud: Find My iPhone, sign in and go to FIndMyiPhone. If the iPod has been restored it will never show up.
iCloud: Find My iPhone
- You can also wipe/erase the iPod and have the iPod play a sound via iCloud.
- If not shown, then you will have to use the old fashioned way, like if you lost a wallet or purse.
- Change the passwords for all accounts used on the iPod and report to police. The plocie will dolittle except if they recover it they can return it to you.
- There is no way to prevent someone from restoring the iPod (it erases it) using it unless you had iOS 7 on the device. With iOS 7, one has to enter the Apple ID and password to restore the device.
- Apple will do nothing without a court order

How to handle a fully depreciated asset that has been brought back to life?

I have an old fully depreciated asset(from the 1990s) that has been brought back to life and has new cost to add to it.
The fixed asset master data looks like this:
Capitalization date: 01.01.1998
Historic APC: 0
Acquisition value: X
NBV: 0
Ordinary depreciation: X
Depreciation tab - no planned depreciation(for current fiscal year).
Now I want to add the new cost Y to it. I add a subsequent acquisition but the planned depreciation (on the Depreciation tab) is not what I expect. I can't figure out how it is getting that amount. Calculation should be Y / Useful life starting 1st day of current period.
The depreciation type setup is NBV / Rem life, straight line depr, prorata temporis.
Any ideas?
Thanks

Okay, I have just realized how the system is calculating depreciation.
useful life = 36.
There are 3 months left in the current fiscal year. Depreciation is calculated as Y / (36 -9) = one month's depreciation.
Why? Is this correct from accounting point of view? My client expects the calculation to be Y / 36 even though we are in period 10 of the current year.

FCPX, How do I reconnect a video file that has been modified or over written?

FCPX, How do I reconnect a video file that has been modified or over written?
As an animator, I am constantly modifying and overwriting movies files that have already been imported into the Final Cut time line. In FCP7, I could easily modify and update movie files and have those changes appear in the timeline without the need to reimport and re-edit those clips, but FCPX seems to lose it's connection with any modified or overwritten file, making all the editing work I've done to these files worthless.
Does anyone know of a way to reconnect to a modified or overwritten file? Because, this one single issue makes FCPX completely worthless to me.
