HT1391 Help with finding music!

I downloaded itunes to my new laptop, and I thought that I would have to find a way to transfer everything on my ipod to the library - i have done this in the past but don't remember how I did it - but it was all there! However many songs are giving me the message that the song cannot be found, wouild I like to find it...but if I say yes, a million folders pop up for me to check, and even just opening a couple and looking, it is all chinese. What to do? Thanks!

The media should normally be in <User's Music>\iTunes\iTunes Media, though it could have been anywhere else that you chose. The path to <User's Music> will depend on the Windows version and your username. See Recover your iTunes library from your iPod or iOS device if you can't locate the old library.

New Mac user looking for help with Finder, Preview, Keyboard, & Dock

So about a month ago I switched over from a lifelong Windows user to a brand new MacBook Pro, and while I am adjusting pretty well, there are still some things that I haven't quite figured out.
First up on the list is Finder! I like my files to be arranged just like how they are in Windows Explorer--folders first alphabetically, then files alphabetically. I've managed to acquire this setting by messing around with the "clean up by" and "arrange by" functions but I don't really know the specific combination. Most of the time these preferences are saved and set as the defaults under "View Options" but every once in a while it resets and I have to tinker around with the settings all over again. Does anyone know of a way to fix this? It's only happened twice so far, but I'd rather not have it happen again. Also, occasionally when I delete an item, there is a blank space left where the icon was instead of all the files following it bumping up a space. Any quick fixes for this bug?
Next up is Preview. Again, I like the Windows Way and I like to be able to browse between the files in a folder while using Preview/Windows Photo Viewer. I know that there is a way to browse between files if you select the whole folder and stick it in Preview, but is there a way to achieve the same result without having to do that? An app or "extension" of some sort that adds arrows in to browse between photos? I've had no luck finding anything other than the aforementioned option. Is there a good free alternative to Preview that will function similarly with the browse between photos option?
One of my favorite things about my new Mac is the backlit keyboard function. My old laptop didn't have it and as someone who is online more often at night it is super helpful. But is there a way to turn it off during the day/in bright settings? A way to put it on a timer? In System Preferences I selected the option "Adjust keyboard brightness in low light", which I assumed to mean would have the keyboard NOT very bright when there IS light, but it continues to light up just the same. Any apps or extensions to help with this one?
And finally, the dock! This question is more about aesthetics than functionality but help is appreciated all the same. Currently, my dock looks like this: http://i42.tinypic.com/35ktxlz.png It is rather opaque and the indicator lights can barely be seen. However, in a lot of tutorial videos I've been watching, many people have docks that look like this: http://i.i.cbsi.com/cnwk.1d/i/tim/2011/07/19/Lion_LaunchPad.png It is a darker shade of gray, the divider is dashed rather than a straight line, and the indicator lights are clearly visible. Does anybody know how to get this look for the dock? I've looked in the dock preferences but there's not really anything in there other than magnification/size/effects.
That about sums things up! I'm sorry if any of these seem like "silly" questions but they are all things I have been unable to find answers for. Any and all tips, tricks, and help is appreciated! Thanks in advance for all your help!!

congratulations on coming over from the dark side.
Seems like you are interested in column view, which would show you the hierarchy of folders and files: Column View in Mac OS X Mountain Lion - For Dummies Not sure what's going on if your finder settings don't stay put. May be a corrupted preferences file, which is easy to fix, but is perhaps a topic for another discussion.
What I'd suggest is to have an open mind and try to see what the mac can do, rather than force it to look like your windows machine. I mean, if you just want it to look like windows, then why bother switching? If you give it a little time, you'll start to appreciate the mac way of doing things, and see how it is infinitely more awesome, powerful, creative, intuitive, and better designed (and the software way better written) than what you left behind. But that's your call.
There are some threads on this forum with complaints about the backlight. Keyboard backlight settings query...: Apple Support Communities Evidently it depends on the angle of the screen and the light sensor relative to the light. Some suggest that a SMC reset may help: Intel-based Macs: Resetting the System Management Controller (SMC) This is not an issue for me, I just adjust the brightness with the keyboard buttons if I want. Real men shift their own gears, drink their coffee black, and adjust their own keyboard brightness. I am not aware of any software to exert more control over this feature but a search of macupdate Download Apple Mac Software & iPhone Software : MacUpdate may help. I mean, it's up to you what is important. I can waste a lot of time playing around with the GUI and with unnecessary software, or I can just get my work (and play) done.
You might prefer the no-glass dock, that removes the shelf, and makes the indicator lights like more discrete orbs. You can do this with the terminal. Using the terminal is also, perhaps, a topic for another discussion.I like the 2D dock much better. If you want I'll give you some directions for how to do it. Otherwise, here's a reference: 2D Dock - MacRumors Forums

I need help with finding right stylus pen for lenovo yoga 2 pro!

I did read other person's post, but I did not find my answer. I am currently using my fingers to write my notes and it drives me nuts! I do have a stylus pen that have huge round fabric tip. It does not write well. I want a stylus pen with pointy end so I can acturally take my notes on OneNote. I writes equations down so it is very hard to write small and neat with my hand. I do know that my laptop is touch sensitive so it only works with rubber or fabric tips! I could not find any stylus pen with those tip that are pointy.... I need help on finding pointy tipped stylus pen that will let me write well. I am ordering ati-glare screen protector because I can see myself on the screen like a mirror... lol Hopefully this will not keep me from finding a pen that works well! Please give me link to the pen, if you can! Thank you for reading!

ColonelONeill is correct.
The Yoga 2 Pro does not have a digitizer, so a capacitative stylus, which mimics a fingertip, is what you'd need.
Regards.

Help with Find / Replace button title tag contents (text)

Hi there,
I designed my site with Sitegrinder (Medialab) –
Currently all the title tags generated for buttons are the same as
the actual html page name.
The problem with this is that the tooltip which appears in
browsers when you hover over the button with the mouse gives you
the page name. Instead I want to use these tooltips to give the
user an indication of what the function of the button is.
An example: A zoom button above an image: Currenty the
tootlip says “zoom imagename pagename” – Instead
it should say “click here to zoom”.
I need help to get the Dreamweaver Find and Replace tool to
batch replace these tags for me for about a 100 pages.
Here is an example of the code:
<body>
<div id="id1zoomimpastooilweddingbutton"><a
href="zoomimpastooilwedding.html"
title="zoomimpastooilwedding"></a></div>
I only want to replace the text in the title tag - Since the
text “zoom” appears several times in the body, I
can’t get the Find tool to pick up and Replace the occurrence
of “zoom” in the title only…….
Options I’ve tried:
Search Current document: Search for: “specific
tag”: “title”, “containing”:
“text” = zoom (I’ve tried this with
“zoomimpastooilwedding” and zoom[^”]* with no
results
I’ve also tried: Search for: “specific
tag”: “body”, “containing”:
“specific tag” “title”
“containing”: “text” = zoom
etc……………..
I need help with what parameters to enter in order to find
and replace all the text within the title tag with my own text
Thanks very much!
Anton

You have ~ 100 pages, each of which has images with title
attributes (not
tags), all of which BEGIN with the letters "zoom"?
What do you want to replace that text with? Wouldn't it be
different for
each button? Or do you mean that you would do multiple
sitewide searches,
one for each button? This illustrates how wrong it is to not
use DW
Templates or server-side includes to simplify the management
of your
navigation elements....
Did you ask Medialabs if it would be possible to specify this
before
generating the HTML?
How did you like working with SiteGrinder? It looks like a
nice product to
me, although I'm not fond of the final results code-wise....

Need help with finding "my" camera..

I'm having difficulty finding a camera with specific features that are important for me. I would greatly appreciate any help in finding the brand and model that fits the bill. I've googled and googled, without any luck. Help! I'm looking for a digital camera with:
1. GPS
2. "small" size (gotta fit in my purse, no camera bags for me!)
3. viewfinder
4. takes AA batteries
TIA

As a GPS and AA enthusiast, I too have been waiting for a similar combination.
nuff said about GPS models like the NIkon AW100, P510, S9300 similar models using propreitary batteries.
DSLR with AA powered grips don't fit your portability factor
have you considered an AA powered data logger? I use the discontinued Sony GPS-CS1. Not only does it provide a data file to sync with my camera clock, but it also draws a breadcrumb on where I go so I can look it up on a map afterwards.

Help with Find my Iphone app

Just set up my find my Iphone app and it doesnt have me in the right roads ( im at work and it has me 3 roads away from where I am sitting at my desk) was wondering if its something I did or if I need to do something else.

Hi -
I downloaded Apple's free "Find My iPhone" app and would appreciate help getting it to work. I don't have a paid Mobile Me account, but I understand I can set up a free account to use the app. I signed up for the free MobileMe account in the iPhone 4's settings, and signed into it using my Apple ID. It seemed to work except that, when I went to sign into the app, I got an alert saying that my MobileMe account had not yet been verified, and I should check my Mobile Me email. The problem is, I can't seem to get the the mail screen. When I go to the Mobile Me sign-in page and enter my Apple ID, all I get is an alert saying that no device has been registered. Can anyone provide any help with this? Thanks very much for your help.

Help with finding someone who actually gives a dam...

Help with actually getting something done.
We have had the same telephone number installed at the same address for over 14 years with various services associated including call sign, call minder etc. we also have another line terminating in a different building with Broadband.
We initially wanted to consolidate the service and order BB provision on the original line and would have liked to have moved across to BT Business but they were unable to port my Call Sign No. so we instead ordered provision of BB and moving of the socket outlet via BT residential.
I went to great lengths to explain exactly what was needed & why we were not switching to BT Business, it was paramount that both the original number and the call sign number stayed active as both have been extensively advertised in connection with our businesses.
On Monday 18th the engineer arrived and duly capped off the service in the original building and extended the cabling to the new position and terminated with a new Open Reach faceplate. When he left the premises our phone was working properly and there had been minimum disruption. I understood that at some point in the next 24hrs the BB would be activated on that line - he told me he had already signed the job off as completed.
On Tuesday the BB was still not active so I called to be told the job wasn't yet complete as tehre was a problem with our call minder service and call sign. I then tested our line and found that it was no longer working. We can hear a dial tone but outgoing calls get a message saying the number called is not recognised and incoming calls go to a standard BT messaging service that we can't access.
I called back & explained. I asked for a divert but was told that couldn't be done until the job was signed off and that would take 24 hrs.
To cut a lot out it's now Friday afternoon so 100 hours have passed. Yesterday I eventualluy got call diverson in place but despite being told it would divert our call sign calls - it does not. So anyone calling that number is just gertting an unobtainablke tone.
I have been promised call backs that haven't happened and currently I am told an engineer will call as there is a fault shoiwing near or inside the property. But I have to wait until Monday (1 week after initial visit) this has been brought forward from the original date of Weds.
I have no confidence that this will resolve the issue as it seems there was a known problem on Tuesday that related to the exchange rather than the line.
I am told that I am on standard care so not eligible for weekend work however I would have been business if BT could have managed the transition. Also the only reason I'm off service is due to work being incorrectly carried out by BT.
If I make mistakes in my business I pull out all the stops to minimise the the inconvenience. In this case I have spent over 6 hours repeating information and often being talked over by people who are very willing to offer apologies but who don't actually resolve the problem.
It's impossible to estimate exactly how much this has already cost our businesses but we are definitely talking hundreds and possibly a thousand or two. We can't afford to miss any business ever but particularly a sthings are in the world now, we sell a time related product so when the day has passed we have missed that opportunity.
In my opinion if BT think OpenReach need to visit then they should have escalated this to have it resolved before now and definitely not expect me to wait 3 more days as its a weekend. Somebody must have the authority and the desire to put this right but I am unable to communicate with them.
I was promised a call back yesterday ay 15:00 but it never came, afetr another 30 minute phone call I was promised a manager would call me back within 1 hr at 7:00 pm last night, still waiting, I called again today and was told I would be called back as soon as the manager was off the telephone - that was 2 hours ago and still no call

It points to my external hard drive, it's just when i go to the external hard drive and go to the music folder theres just the artist and album name no mp3's

Help with finding files

I would really appreciate any help on this! I have my itunes library on an external hard drive. The power adapter to that drive failed. I replaced it, but now when I open itunes it doesn't recognize where any of my files are. A friend told me to try to go into Edit>Preferences and find the drive of my hard drive and reset that as where the files are. That didn't work. I can go in manually and click on a song where the window pops up that itunes can't find the file, and I am able to find it and then it will play. But to do that with all files in my library would take forever. Thank you so much for any help!
(I have itunes 8)

Try This. Hold the shift key down, and open iTunes. Do not let up on the shift key until you get a window that asks you to choose a library, or create a new library. If iTunes opens without giving you that choice, just close it and re-open it with the shift key down. Nine times out of Ten it works on the first try. Click "choose a library". You will get another window that allows you to navigate to your hard drive and show iTunes where your music is stored. In a folder called iTunes or iTunes Music, choose "iTunes Library.itl" This should bring back your entire library the way it was when you last used it.

Help with Finder

Recently I have had a problem with my Finder in that it does not display the Hard Drive, Applications, Music ,Movies, or Desktop or any of the other folders set to display on the left hand side of the frame. They have all dissapeared!
I can access applications I need through spotlight, but i am unable to open anything in the finder with the acception of folders I have on my desktop.
A strange thing i noticed is when i click on the empty space where my items used to be in finder, a ghost Icon of the different Items are there when i move my mouse with it, but they are not visible or accessable.
If anyone can help me fix this problem it would be greatly appreciated. If you need anymore information that i forgot to include, please let me know! Thanks in advance for your help in this matter.

Your system info confirms you are using Tiger (OS 10.4.8). If this information is incorrect, please inform us of the correct OS system installed.
If correct yes, you repair permissions/disk from your Tiger installation DVD. See Testing and repairing your startup disk for detailed instructions.

Help with saving music to a portable HD

In the edit> preferences> advanced area in itunes I had always marked to save all music that is downloaded to my itunes music to also save into the itunes music folder. I had to reinstall itunes about 5 times due to PC issues, nothing to do with itunes or the touch.
The last time (which finally worked with the PC) I forgot to go into the edit
tab and mark this option. Now all the music that I have put into my itunes is not in my itunes music folder on my PC.
The only info I can find regarding saving my music is to save to a disc, which I don't want to do. Can anyone walk me through how to save music from my itunes on to a portable hard drive.
Thanks for any help!

Thanks for the reply. That is what I did when I had to save my music before sending in the PC for repair. I apologize, I wasn't too clear on my question.
The music that I have recently downloaded since I put the itunes back onto my computer is not in my itunes music folder. Since I didn't mark it to do that on the preferences page when I reinstalled itunes.
I hope I am saying this right. I have all the old stuff in my itunes music folder but none of the new stuff since I didn't make that a preference.
Is there a way to get the new stuff saved?

Help with deleted music

I had my Ipod Nano connected to my computer via a USB cable.
I accidentially knocked it out, and my Ipod froze. I reset the Ipod to find that ALL of my music is gone. The Ipod also says that there is mucic there, but absolutely none of it is shown anywhere. All of my pictures are still there as well.
I know I am supposed to restore it, but every time I try to it says:
Itunes cannot read the contents of the Ipod. Go to the summary tab in Ipod preferences and click restore to restore this Ipod factory settings.
The only problem is that my iPod isn't being displayed in iTunes. I can't even access it.
Please somebody help me.

Ok, here's the contents of an old post. Have a read through this and see if anything helps.
First, make sure that the iPod is fully charged.
Try Resetting Your iPod while it's connected to the computer.
Hold down the Menu and Select buttons until you see the Apple logo (or Menu & Play/Pause in older models).
This will often get it recognized. It may take several attempts.
Try closing and re-starting iTunes. There have been cases where iTunes refuses to see an iPod, but after re-starting, it works again.
Also try re-booting the entire computer. Especially if the PC has been operating for a long time &/or many programs have been opened and closed, repeatedly.
Other USB connected peripherals may be the cause as well. Try removing all connected USB items and attaching the iPod. If you have a USB keyboard, it may be worth a try using the adapter to convert it to non-USB. If the iPod connects, continue plugging things back in until you have the problem return. You may have then isolated the issue. Sometimes it could be a printer, camera, Flash Card reader, or other attached device causing a conflict.
If your iPod shows up in Explorer under 'my computer' try changing the drive letter:
-- Click on Start=>Control Panel=>Admin Tools=>Computer Management=>Disk Management
-- Right-Click on the iPod and select “change drive letter”
-- Choose something further along in the alphabet that is unused (Usually, “M”, “N”, “O” or something similar)
-- Safely eject the iPod
-- Reboot the PC
If that doesn't work, Put Your iPod into Disk Mode then plug it in and you should be able to Restore the iPod
Your PC may have difficulty with the USB2 protocol and the iPod. See this Article for a possible solution: iPod not Recognized Correctly
Also try these hints (and the other suggestions above) from any other USB port you may have on the PC. Sometimes switching USB ports can make all the difference.
Try using another PC if you have access to one. Even a Mac may help. Try Restoring it on the other computer and moving it back to yours.
If you get any message about "Another User", an "iPod Service Error" alert appears, or “Please reinstall iTunes" appears, turn off the 'Fast User Switching' - even if no one else is using the computer (Win XP environment).
==>Start=>Control Panel=>User Accounts=>Change the way users log on and off ==> Remove the check mark from FUS.
See: http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=93764
And http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=93395
If you are getting a ‘Missing Drivers’ message, try this:
1. Go to http://www.driverguide.com and register (free)
2. Download ‘usbstor.sys’ & ‘usbstor.inf’ to your PC and place them in your i386 Folder
3. Update both drivers by selecting the two files you just downloaded
4. Reboot computer
5. Open iTunes and then connect you iPod
If all the above fails, you may have a Virus, Malware or SpyWare problem.

Help with moving music to new computer

I have run into a problem while following the iTunes: How to move your music to a new computer support artical. I believe I followed the instructions using my iPod as an external hard drive but when I finally went back to iTunes, the songs are listed, but they do not open. Instead, I get a pop up that says, "The song "xyz" could not be used because the original file could not be found. Would you like to locate it?" This is the case for about 500 songs that were previously on my old computer in iTunes
I have a new window's 8 computer and had just downloaded iTunes onto it. I was so worried about losing my songs that I specifically looked for help on how to seamlessly accomplish this.
Any help would be greatly appreciated! Thank you

Thanks! I did it again using my iPod again. (I couldn't find an external drive large enough)
What am I supposed to do with the iTunes folder that is now on my desktop from the step below:
Copy music to new computer
To copy all your music files (including the library file that holds all your playlists and other settings) to your new computer:
Locate your Music folder (Mac OS X) or your My Music folder (Windows) on your new computer:
Mac OS X: /Users/username/Music
Windows: \Documents and Settings\username\My Documents\My Music\
Drag the iTunes folder in this location out to the desktop.
Can I just delete that?
