HT1751 Question: Is it possible to move just part of my iTunes content (i.e. TV shows) to an external harddrive, keeping the rest of the content in place?  Several seasons of TV shows are taking up 102 GB of space, and I'm completely out of space on my HD

Is it possible to move just part of my iTunes content (i.e., only TV shows), keeping the rest of the Library in place?  I have purchased several seasons of some TV shows, which take up 102 GB on my harddrive, inside my iTunes Media Folder.  I don't want to move my entire Library of music and apps etc to the external harddrive (HD), but I rarely watch the TV shows, so wouldn't mind them being located on an external HD, which I would plug in before trying to watch the shows through iTunes?
Any advice?
Thanks! 

I don't think you can simultaneously have two libraries open. But you can have your media spread across multiple disk drives. Just change your iTunes preferences such that the option "Copy files to iTunes Music folder when adding to library" is not selected. That way, new items can remain on your external drive if that's where you add them from.
The only caution is if you ever add items to your library from some "temporary" location, such as a USB drive. With these preference changes, iTunes would keep the native file on the USB drive, which would possibly lead to you deleting the file and losing the link. So, when you have your preferences to allow you to add new items to iTunes without copying them to the iTunes Music folder, you would want to put the native files in the desired location first, then add to iTunes.
To move existing videos and podcasts to the external drive, you can either do that as you have been (moving the native files and correcting the ! warning), or simply delete them from the library (but keep the native files) then re-add them from their new location on the external drive (you'd lose play history and ratings though, but may not be an issue for videos and podcasts).

    I thought a screen dump of the sttus may help picture what I am looking at.

    Mike,
    That article did seem to confirm that it is not as straight forward as it might seem. Since then I have deleted some of the TV episodes I downloaded on iTunes and the available storage has increased, so I can only assume that when reviewing in finder the files for iTunes are not shown and it would appear one has to go into iTunes to delete them.
    I guess I may need to set up an external hard drive to store TV series etc as long as it is easy to transfer between the external drive and the MAC and subsequently my iPad as well, but that is for another discussion.

    If your country's iTunes Store allows you to redownload purchased tracks, I'd delete your current copy of the track and try redownloading a fresh one. See the following document for instructions:
    Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store
    Otherwise, I'd report the problem to the iTunes Store.
    Log in to the Store. Click on "Account" in your Quick Links. When you're in your Account information screen, go down to Purchase History and click "See all".
    Find the item that is not playing properly. If you can't see "Report a Problem" next to the item, click the "Report a problem" button. Now click the "Report a Problem" link next to the item.

    sure.
    the ppt has to be some kind of 'video' iM supports.
    so export it from with MS Office as a Quicktime movie, preffered with 'Animation' codec, or as appleintermediatecodec .. for quality reasons.
    you need the Talking Head as a 2nd video.
    then use iM's Pic-In-Pic feature to combine both videos as wanted.
    I would suggest to do some editing (you full-screen, the ppt full-screen, perhaps 'close ups' of some charts, cut-aways to snoozing audience, etc) to 'pep' the video. for this purpose, it could be much esier to export each slide from within PPT as a jpeg and create the 'flow' in iM only... except, you need the ppt-animations ... but, who uses animations in a presentation anyhow ... ?

  • HT201272 I pre-ordered an album, but only 2 of the songs from that album are showing up to download. What do I need to do to get the rest of the album that I already bought?

    Not sure what is going on here. I pre-ordered an album. One of the songs was available for instant download so I have that in my library now. I received an email saying that the rest of the album is available for download. When I go into my purchased songs as instructed, it only shows 2 other songs from that album. Not sure what I need to do.

    Hi libby2350,
    Welcome to the Support Communities!
    Depending on your settings, the songs may already have been downloaded to your iTunes library.
    The article below will explain how the Pre-orders process works.
    If you still cannot find this music on your computer, the iTunes Store Support team will be happy to help you with your order.
    iTunes Store: About Pre-orders
    If you've enabled iTunes to automatically download prepurchased content, then your pre-order content may already be downloaded to your library. If not, simply click the download link provided within your email notification, and your pre-order content will begin to download. Alternatively you can use the "Check for Available Downloads" feature in iTunes on your computer by choosing Store > Check for Available Downloadsto begin downloading your pre-order.
    I hope this information helps ...
    Have a great day!

  • Is it possible to edit spoken dialog without interfering with the rest of the sound?

    I'm trying to piece together video clips from various movies, and in one of these clips the character swears strongly a couple times. Normally, I don't bother with this, but my audience is that of a "clean" nature and is strongly against profanity. Is there a way to briefly mute, or change the character's voice when he cusses and not interfere with the rest of the sound? Or is this asking too much?
    Also, I looked in the "help" section and couldn't find anything to help me with this. But I have a bunch more questions. Where do I go that will explain all the features of Premiere Elements 8, without forcing me to spend hours figuring it all out and/or posting a billion discussions here in the forums and bugging all of you with my lack of knowledge?

    What you are attempting to do requires a bit of work and then some luck.
    It sounds as though you have an Audio Clip with both background noise and possibly music, plus dialog. You wish to remove just the dialog in a particular spot, or spots. Is that correct?
    If so, then in an Audio editing program, like Adobe Audition, you can possibly extract the ambient sound/music with a Karaoke Effect, or with the application of EQ. This will yield a separate file with hopefully just the background and music, and no dialog. In a Multi-Track Session, place both files on a separate Track. Find the point where you wish to remove the dialog. Here, the workflow might differ, but I'd Cut out the dialog at that point, leaving only the Karaoke Track. To clean things up, when I had done this for each offensive passage, I would go to the Karaoke Track and do just the opposite - Cut out all that was NOT underlying the offensive passages, but leave a bit of that Track before and beyond the deleted dialog. Then, I'd add a Cross-Dissolve for Constant Power to those Karaoke segments to "ramp" the Karaoke Track into the mix, as it will never be perfect, and one wants as smooth a transition, as is possible.
    Now, one can do this in other audio editing programs, that offer Multi-Track editing, and also VST plug-ins, or install with Effects like Karaoke and/or Parametric or Graphic EQ's. You could explore the great, free audio-editor, Audacity, and Google for VST's that will enhance its capabilities. Be sure to read the Help files on Audacity, as one does need to do a few things in setup to allow the addition of more VST's.
    The work will be with the Karaoke (or similar) Effect, its result and also the frequency ranges of the speaker. That is where the "luck" comes in. Much human speech can be EQ'ed out, or at least greatly attenuated. Now, if you have a crowd talking in the background, or similar, and wish to retain that, all bets are off.
    Also, if you only have ambient sounds, and no music, behind the speaker, just find segments of that ambient sound, where the speaker is not talking, and use that to "patch" where you cut out the dialog.
    Good luck,
    Hunt

  • Why do some websites only show the headings and not the rest of the page? I was on the same website at a different location and it had discriptions for the words.

    When in ma-vitalrecords.org, I put in the county and town and then went to the names. It pulls up the last name, but the rest of the information does not show, such as the child's name, date of birth, and parents. When I am at the library or other's homes, this information shows. This is not the only website that this does this. Sometimes if I hover the arrow over where the words should be, I can see the information down in the status bar. On the above website it did not.

    Hi,
    I have the same experience. I've been narrowing down causes, but it's NOT because you're not connected to Wifi. It seems to be intermittent. For expample, I'm connected to WIFI right now. Some messages or pix that were viewable yesterday are not viewable now and others aren't. All of the messages and their attachments are available from my laptop. If I try again later, I'll be able to see different downloads than what I can see now. What's odd is all of them worked just right a few weeks ago

  • Can I print a 2 page spread to .PDF from a CS 3 document where the rest of the pages are NOT spreads

    Since I do not know how to really describe this, please have a look and tell me how (if it's possible) if I can print (to PDF) this catalog where the pages (4) and (5) can remain as a spread and the rest of the document would print single pages.  I can print this as a booklet, but it's sideways online.  Our goal is to have our customers able to view the PDF online and get its full impact.  We really can't do that viewing it sideways OR by having the pages 4 and 5 split up like they are.
    http://provsnusa.com/pdf/Product%20Guide_GenRec_WEB_CURRENT_VERSION.pdf
    The problem we're having is we would like to NOT break-up pages 4 and 5.  We want this to look good for the users.
    Is it possible to have 1 spread only display all the way across - in other words, is there a way to NOT split up just pages 4 and 5 in this document?  The only way I know is to print ALL the spreads. 
    I tried: Creating the PDF with all the spreads, it does not look as good, but at least the 2 page spread is not broken up (4 and 5).
    But now if I go to print the PDF with ALL spreads, then it does not print properly on letter sized paper.  Are there settings I can embed where this will print properly where the end user does not have to make adjustments - i.e. We want the end user to be able to just hit "print" and it's done.
    I tried: I also created this InDesign CS3 document as a PDF booklet.  While this is OK, it appears sideways online to the viewer which is not desirable in this case.  Is there a way where the end user can view this correctly as a booklet online without printing?
    I guess as an alternative, I can upload the booklet for printing, and another version for viewing.
    Maybe there's a special web based PDF viewer out there or something - I'm very ignorant here.
    Any suggestions would be very helpful
    Sorry for the long wind - hope I've made sense.
    Dan

    Why not reconstruct the pages in InDesign they way you want the double pages to appear. There may even be an imposition script available that will do the trick. You could then output to pdf all the pages you want the full spread on. Leave the original to create the pages you wanted left as is.
    You can ask in the ID forum about an imposition script. I know there was one with CS4, there may have been one with CS3.

  • When I Apply Redaction to the selected area the area is redacted, however the rest of the doc becomes unreadable. Is there a fix for this?

    FYI - I am using Acrobat X Pro v 10.1.13
    If I convert a MS Word Document to a PDF file the Redaction works fine without affecting the rest of the document.
    The problem I am describing below only seems to happen on documents that have been scanned to PDF from my Lanier Copier/Printer/Scanner/Fax machine MP C3502.  I purchased the Adobe PDF software for the machine so that I could scan from the machine directly to my computers. The scan arrives onto both of my computers, no problem. I can open them and print them with no problems. Both Computers have Acrobat Pro X software on them.
    Here is what I do:
    1. I receive an Invoice in the mail
    2. I scan it at 600dpi from my Lanier machine to my computers
    3. I open the scanned PDF doc on my computer
    4.I select Save As and give the doc a name
    5. I open the Tools and go to Protection
    6. I select Mark for Redaction
    7. I select the area I want Redacted
    8. I Apply Redaction
    9. I answer, Yes to the pop up window asking me if I want to Apply the Redaction
    10. Another pop up window confirms the Redaction is successful
    11. At this point I can see that the Redaction had occurred however the rest of the document appears washed out and I cannot read any other information on the document.  Thing such as bar codes or header in color all seem to be fine but all the type is washed out and unreadable.  I normally use Black for my redaction color however I have tried using other colors and I get the same effect.
    When I first installed the Acrobat Pro X software a few years ago I never had any problems,  I recently began updating the Acrobat software a few months ago and now I have this problem,
    I would appreciate any help.
    Thank you,
    BG10

    Thank you. I figured it out right before I heard from you.  Running the OCR before the redaction made it work correctly.
    Thank you so much for taking the time to answer my question.
    Make it a great day.

  • Why, when I copy and paste a shape are the rest of the pages in the doc being deleted?

    I am trying to add an identical formatted shape below the first formatted shape, but when I select, copy, paste, it is deleting the following pages of the doc.  If I'm not careful, I will lose the rest of the doc.  What is going on? 
    If I select the shape I want to copy, it is outlined in blue and under Arrange the Group/Ungroup options are greyed out. 
    There is plenty of space for the new pasted image on the page and I just click below the original image being copied to paste it. 
    And sometimes there is this thick blue line at the top of the page when copy/paste -> dissapear.  What is that?
    Also, a pasted object always defaults to Inline instead of Floating, so a new image snaps to a grid.  Anyway to change that? 

    Sorry I didn't notice that you are on iOS.
    There are two kinds of Pages documents, Word Processing and Layout.
    Word Processing documents have text on every page that automatically flows on to the next page if it does not fit on the current page. A page only is shown on screen if it has text on it. Floating objects don't count.
    If you have a complicated set of objects with wrap pushing text out of the way and text being consequently pushed over to the enxt page, odd things can happen as that text, which includes invisibles like returns, spaces, tabs, page breaks etc push over to the next page or flow back to previous pages as you move objects and make room for the etxt or not.
    Layout documents, do not auto flow from page to page. Each page is an individual section and things stay where you put them.
    It sounds like you may be better off using a Layout template for your work. Choose one from the Template/Document Chooser.

    Hey kbert73
    I would do a transfer of purchases from the phone and not sync. If you sync then it will want to start over and sync music that is on the MacBook Pro. If you want to transfer the music, check out the article below that will give you multiple options on how to move. I have also provided on how to sync with multiple computers.
