How to save or export your iTunes playlist to re-import for later use?

How can that be done?

If you copy your entire iTunes folder to the new iMac, (that would include all the database files in the iTunes folder -- not just your music folder), then you should have your playlists in the new library.

Is it possible to save a Photoshop project with multiple tabs (inducing images) for later use. Now, when I close Photoshop, it ask to save each tab separately and they are not staying in the project for later usage. Thanks in advance for you help.

I have given up on my dell and bought an iMac 27"... Now how do I transfer my dell iTunes playlists from my dell to my iMac, as they are showing on the iMac when I plug in my iPod but it's not allowing to me to play them as they are shaded? I have also separately transferred all my music via my external drive from my dell to my iMac which is showing in iTunes but won't upload to my iPod... Just to confuse you even more my AppleTV which is linked to my log in email address and home sharing is showing and playing all the playlists I want to see on my iMac... Phew that was exhausting hope you understand and can help me:-)

You may have transferred all your songs, but your iPad is seeing the library as a different entity.

ATV doesn't show iTunes playlists and doesn't play them using the Remote app

Hello
Using ATV3 with the latest software version and it is connected to the iTunes library (also latest version) on my Mac Mini.
When I go to Computers on the ATV I can see the content of the iTunes and am able to play both Music and Vidoes however I don't see the playlists on iTunes there. On the ATV configuration it is configured to Show playlists -> All but still no Playlists appearing at the top of my movie and TV show listings section.
When I connect to the ATV using the Remote app on the iPhone and go to Computers there I do see the playlists but unable to play the ones with Vidoes just music.
Any ideas what would cause these problems...?

log into my library through more > computers where? on the Remote? This is exactly what i'm doing, I can see the content of my library there but I can't play movies from there.

XML parsing (KXml) - how to save parser's position for later use?

Hello.
I am parsing an xml file using KXmlParser and i want to keep the position of the parser for later use so i can continue from that same position.
int eventType = parser.getEventType();
        if (coupletForm!=null) {
            coupletForm.deleteAll();
        while (eventType != KXmlParser.END_DOCUMENT) {
            if (eventType == KXmlParser.START_TAG ){
                String element_name = parser.getName();
                if (element_name.equals("couplet")) {
                    coupletForm = new Form("Couplet 1");
                else if (element_name.equals("lead_one")) {
                    while (eventType != KXmlParser.TEXT || (eventType == KXmlParser.TEXT && parser.isWhitespace()) ){
                        eventType = parser.next();
                    //Now reached <description> element
                    coupletOptions = null;
                    coupletOptions = new ChoiceGroup("Choose lead:", Choice.EXCLUSIVE);
                    coupletOptions.append(parser.getText(), null);
                    parser_stack.push(parser);
                else if (element_name.equals("lead_two")) {
                    while (eventType != KXmlParser.TEXT || (eventType == KXmlParser.TEXT && parser.isWhitespace()) ){
                        eventType = parser.next();
                   //Now reached <description> element
                    coupletOptions.append(parser.getText(), null);
                    coupletForm.append(coupletOptions);
                    parser_stack.push(parser);
                    coupletForm.addCommand(CMD_NEXT);
                    coupletForm.setCommandListener(this);
                    display.setCurrent(coupletForm);
                    break;
            eventType = parser.next();
    }What i am doing here is parsing the xml file. When the parser finds an element with name <lead_one> it continues parsing until it finds the next element (<description>) and then creates a ChoiceGroup with the first option as the text found in the next element. I want to keep this position of the parser. The parser then continues until it finds element <lead_two> and does the same thing as <lead_one>. I want to save the positions of the parser when it stops at the <description> element. I am trying to do this using a stack, but this doesn't work.

If you want to select nodes based on changing criteria, you should use XPath.
If you have relatively fixed criteria, iterate over the nodes and pick out the ones that you want. For example:
public static List<Element> getChildren(Element parent, String tagname) {
    List<Element> result = new ArrayList<Element>();
    NodeList children = parent.getChildNodes();
    for (int ii = 0 ; ii < children.getLength() ; ii++) {
      Node child = children.item(ii);
      if ((child.getNodeType() == Node.ELEMENT_NODE) && tagname.equals(child.getNodeName()) {
        result.add((Element)child);
    return result;
}

Export 1080 x 1440 to HD stream for later blu ray authour

This might be more of a compressor question really but whats the best way to export 1080 x 1440 to HD stream for later blu ray authour.
In compressor I have 2 settings, 1 is a 60 min h264 HD. Is this what I should use so I can make a Hi Def master when the time comes?
Daz

Have the same problem. My solution: If you don't need advanced authoring, simply buy Toast 9 with HD plugin, export your footage from FCP as Apple ProRes and drag to Toast - it will do all the encoding in h264 (no more MPEG2)... My problem with this workflow is, that Toast supports only 2 channels of audio, so I'm going to but DVDit HD, which supports LPCM 7.1. Then I export as ProRes from FCP, make h264 BD compactible stream in Toast and make the authorization in DVDit HD... This is the best solution I figured out (I need 7.1 surround)...

New "Photos" is a piece of JUNK! How do I get my image numbers to display as imported like they used to? Can no longer make Events or view old events as before either.

If this is replacing Aperture and previous iPhoto it is USELESS...WAY fewer options for editing available. New "Photos" is a piece of JUNK!

Hi.
I have just migrated my library from Aperture to photos. All seems to have gone smoothly, except for one thing. All of my photos are 'untitled', whereas in both Aperture, and previously iPhoto, the filename was used for the title. If I hit CMD+I and get info, the title is still there as the filename, as I use the filename for all titles.
Is there a way to batch copy all filenames as photo titles, this was done automatically in Aperture and iPhoto, as when photos were imported the filename was used automatically.
Any help appreciated.
Thanks.

How do i run a new software program (Investment Account Manager for Windows) using Windows emulation software?

How can I run a new software program (Investment Account Manager for Windows) using Windows emulation software?

You will need a licensed copy of Windows 7, and I recommend VMFusion. You can run the program in Unity mode just as if it were a Mac application. Or, you can install Windows in Bootcamp and run the Mac in Windows when you boot and run it that way. Depends on the resources. I prefer the VM method because it is cleaner and gives you more options as far as backups, etc.

How can I export an iTunes playlist to my iPhone 6?

I just purchased an iphone 6. I have various playlists on my itunes and they didn't sync over to my phone. I created a new playlist and it shows up in the library on my computer but when I sync my phone it does not show up on my phone.

Hi Chris, thanks for the input! Just wanted to share that, if you have iTunes Match on, you will not be able to sync or drag and drop any new playlists. The trick is now,
1. create your new playlists on your computer.
2. turn off itunes match on your iphone, change options in itunes on your computer, while iphone is plugged in, to manually manage music and videos. Please note, with itunes match on, under summary in itunes, you will only get manually manage videos. once you turn off itunes match, you will get music and videos back! sync that itunes puppy!
3. drag your new playlist onto your music category on your iphone.
4. you can turn on your itunes match afterwards, and while it states that this will replace your existineg music library, it will leave your playlists with imported songs alone.
Thanks to Kyle at Apple Support for his kind assistance! ( I have AppleCare, and it works)

Found a workflow to export an iTunes playlist in MY play order-doesn't work

Here is the Automator script I found to work around the fact that iTunes will invariably burn a playlist in alpha order, no matter what we do. I found it here: http://www.macosxhints.com/article.php?story=20080424194133862
1. Automator » Ask for Confirmation (This may be Leopard only.). This asks if the user wishes to continue, since it may take a while to run.
2. iTunes » Get Selected iTunes Items. This will select all songs that you've selected in iTunes, such as the songs in a playlist.
3. Finder » Copy Finder Items. This will copy the song files to the Finder. Select a default folder, such as the Desktop. Check the "Show This Action When the Workflow Runs" box under Options to allow you to choose a folder to export a particular playlist into.
4. Finder » Rename Finder Items (Make Finder Item Names Sequential). You should say Make Sequential in the top drop-down, and then select Add number to existing item name. Select Place number before name, Start numbers at 1, separated by dash (or underscore, etc), and make all numbers X digits long. X should be 1 to 3, depending on how many songs you have -- three digits will allow you to export more than 100 songs.
5. Save your workflow to the scripts folder, or as an application to add to your Dock.
When run, the workflow will first copy the files to the selected Finder folder, then rename them. You can then burn the folder -- and any other folders of exported playlists -- to a disc, using the Finder or Toast. Problem solved!
Looks brilliant, right? And it should work. I set it up exactly as it's listed here. I went into iTunes, clicked on my playlist, and selected the tracks. When the script runs, "Get Selected Items" gives conflicting messages. On one hand, it takes no time at all to import the 116 mp3 files I have selected in my playlist, and they show up in the results window for "Get Selected Items". Yet at the same time, in the Log, the yellow warning triangle appears and says "The action Get Selected Items was not supplied with the required data". And directly under that in the log is "Get Selected Items completed" with a green checkmark next to it. Meanwhile, it only took 67 seconds to "Get Selected Items" with its green checkmark, and "Converting iTunes items" is the one with the grey circle with the arrow in it (indicating it's currently running), yet the progress bar at the bottom of the Automator window still say "Get Selected Items" and the circle of gray bars is *still spinning*, twenty minutes later.
Anybody have any clues?

Paste the script text into the Script Editor application located in the /Applications/AppleScript folder. From there, you can save it as an application (the Startup Screen option, if desired, will put up a dialog to confirm if you want to run the script), and place it where you want. Double-click on the application to make it go.
Normally, the only things that need to be in a particular place are things like folder actions, Automator plugins, and items run from the Scripts menu.

Is there a way to export an iTunes playlist from a windows XP pc and import on an iMac?

I have a PC running Windows XP that I've had for many years. I just got an iMac and want to make that my main music source for syncing iPods, playing,music in the house, etc. I have a lot of playlists on the old PC that I want to move over to the iMac and I don't have to rebuild them all by hand. Is there a way to export the original playlists from the Windows PC and import them to the iMac since the file systems are different? Thanks.

The problem really is that one person has InDesign and the other has Photoshop.
The workflow is images from photoshop are placed in Photoshop.
Not the layout from InDesign is placed in photoshop.
That's how the software is designed to work.
What people are saying is that Photoshop cannot work this way in dealing with layouts, it's a nightmare and will give you terrible results and cost you time and effort when updating things in Photoshop, it has all the makings of a Final Destination movie, particularly in the area of the later sequels.
But let's not get hung up on those franchises.
If the person needs to edit an Indesign file and can't afford the full cost of InDesign then there are other workarounds:
1. If it's just text
If all they are doing is updating text then you can use File>Export>Rich Text Format from a selection of text, this will make a Word version of the text that they can edit. You can then use File>Import and import the RTF that is edited.
2. You can use InCopy
This is a viable solution for editors that need to see the text in the Layout Format, but it hasn't got all the bells and whistles of InDesign, but it works in tangent with InDesign, it's not as pricey as InDesign and it also allows you to lock out editors from editing certain parts or moving things within the layout. And it can update your InDesign file on the fly.
3. You can use Rorohikos Story Tweaker
http://www.rorohiko.com/wordpress/2009/03/25/storytweakertextedits/
There are workarounds that you can find for people that don't have InDesign. It's just that the Photoshop workflow isn't a viable solution in any sense.
For example, I have my layouts proofed in PDF format, where the proofreader adds Comments to the PDF. It works for our workflow as I'm the one editing the only file in existence.
But to go from InDesign to Photoshop is a complete waste of time and effort on everyone's part. There is no need to go that route, there's no reason, there's no point.
