HT4527 Playlist transfer problem

I followed these instructions exactly for the external hard drive method, but it looks like neither my playlists nor any metadata are transferring. This is a Macbook Air 2008 to a current Air (not sure why it's having select "iTunes for Windows" community); my hard drive failed for the old Air, so there's no way I can go back and reconfigure iTunes from there. All I have retrieved is the full and exact iTunes folder. Any ideas? Thanks!

File transfer problem

I have a 2009 intel iMAC running 10.6.8. Several months ago it developed a file transfer problem. When transferring files to an external server via ethernet cable, most of the time it will only let me transfer one file at a time whether is a small word document or a large video file that is several gigabytes. Even with transferring just one file, the elapsed time bar will not indicate the file has completely transferred. It stays open and appears as if it is still trying to transfer even though the file size transferred is equal to the size of the file. Plus the only way I can close the the transfer bar is to relaunch finder. Then when I go to the folder it was transferring it to, the entire file will be there.
Suggestions?

Have you tried restarting the external drive and the computer?

New to MacBook - slow LAN file transfer problem

My new MacBook is painfully slow when wifi-ing to my house LAN.
I turned in my old G4 iBook for a MacBook (2GHz C2D, 2GB, 10.4.9, all updates). I have a LAN that consists of a wired 1G Ethernet backbone (a Mini and a Powermac G5 are wired in) and a Snow AEB that provides 802.11g wifi access to the LAN. The wired LAN connects to a D-Link GB Ethernet switch so the wired systems can exchange files fast. The switch connects to a D-Link EBR2310 router that connects to a cable modem to ComCast. The router has the latest firmware (1.05, it's an 'A' version router).
The Mini, G5, and MB are static IPs on the LAN. The D-Link router passes out DHCP addresses >100, with addresses <101 reserved for static LAN IPs. I use static IPs for network reliability when recovering from power outages and other unforeseen glitches. The LAN has worked very well in this configuration, with fast file transfers among machines and good stability.
With my old 802.11g G4 iBook, I was able to watch DVDs that are stored on an external FW drive connected to the Mini. No stalls, no pauses, no dropouts - MenuMeters showed an average throughput of about 700KBytes/sec on the iBook when viewing a DVD. I used both VLC and DVD Player with good results.
With my new MacBook, I can't view my DVD files. 802.11g network transfer rates to the MB (indicated by MenuMeters and by Activity Monitor) vary rapidly from a high of about 1.1 MBytes/sec to 20 KBytes/sec. Movies stall, skip, etc.
Simple file copies from one system to another are also much slower with the MacBook - an average of ~100KBytes/sec vs. ~ 1.5 MBytes/sec with my old iBook. In short, the MacBook is dog-slow in file transfers from the other machines compared with my old iBook when using the wifi connection, with no change to the network infrastructure in going from the old laptop to the new. I would like to fix this.
My AEB is set up in bridge mode (simple access point) with WPA2 security. All three Macs are completely current with latest updates, as is the Snow AEB. The MB has 4 bars of signal strength. Slow file transfer problem does not change when moving the MB to or from the AEB.
Curiously, when I download a large file (like the Intel 10.4.9 combo update), the MB shows a steady ~800KBytes/sec download speed, with none of the speed variation it shows with file transfers from either the Mini or the G5. File transfers to/from the MB to either of the other Macs are very slow.
Both the Mini and the G5 have Airport cards: when I switch them from wired Ethernet LAN to wifi LAN, they transfer files between each other at ~ 2MBytes/sec - about what you'd expect from an 802.11g protocol. So the slow file transfer doesn't seem to be due to the AEB, it seems to be specific to the MacBook. When I connect the MB using its hardware Ethernet port, files transfer just as fast as the other systems.
I have tried these measures, without effect on the problem:
- power off/restart of every component in the system;
- changing the AEB to an open network mode;
- changing the MB from static IP to DHCP;
- toggling IPv6 on/off;
- running no applications other than Finder on all systems;
Activity Monitor on the MB doesn't show anything sucking up CPU cycles during file transfers. I have plenty of RAM. The only thing I've changed in the network is the swap of the iBook for the MacBook.
Can anyone suggest what else I can try to make acquisition of this nice shiny MacBook a step forward, rather than a step back? Thank you!

Hi,
Did you want to use the Live Migrations for that?
We recommend that you configure separate dedicated networks with gigabit or faster speed for live migration traffic and cluster communication, and these networks should be separate from the network used by the management operating system, and from the network
used by the virtual machines.

IMOVIE/IPHOTO TRANSFER PROBLEM QUESTION... HELP HELP HELP!!!
much like the email above, i am having trouble importing movies --all taken with my same nikon camera and uploaded to iphoto-- from iphoto08 to imovie08. i did a software update today and half the movies i wanted from iphoto, somehow, ended up on imovie. not the half i need to work with, by the way. just came back from christmas with the family. the first time my dad has seen my son. the first time my wife has seen my dad. lots of pictures. my dad wants copies. i got great ideas about making him a DVD... in imovie, i choose, "import movies", follow the steps, create a new event AND... no movie clips show up in my new event... BUT, when i click "mac HD" on my desktop and go the "imovie events", i see the movies is just supposedly imported to imovie as files and can watch them. doesn't help me much when trying to create a movie to send to my dad. no video is played in imovie. HELP HELP HELP!!! i went so far as to trash my 15 movies from iphoto because i thought perhaps the computer was seeing them as photos and not movies. right now my vacation movies are on my desktop. how can i get them to show up in imovie and start my project? HELP HELP HELP!!!

I think you have set your iPod to an option which everytime you connect it to itunes, it will delete all songs on it and replace it with songs currently in your library. What you need to do is click on the ipod on the sidebar, and on the bottem of the new page click the tick box that says "Manually manage music and video". That way you can delete old songs from your computer and they will stay on your ipod everytime you connect it. Hope that helps ^_^

Itunes transfer problem

575 LRE and data transfer problems

575 LRE and data transfer problems
Hello,
I have a connection from my provider using the Cisco 575 LRE, configured for 10 Mbit/s. I don't know the make and model of the switch but I assume it is likely a Cisco device also.
I'm experiencing problems with the LRE connection whenever big files are being transfered simultaneously in both down- and upstream directions to/from a PC. The data transfer may slow down to a stall and all WAN connectivity may become momentarily blocked. Transfer speeds and reliability always seem good as long as big files don't get transferred in both directions at the same time.
What could cause this problem? My service provider says that they see no problems in their end and they are unable to help me. I don't know how extensively they have looked into any possibility of problems though.
I've tried different 100Mbit network cards, replacing ethernet and phone cabling and changing duplex settings and MTU, but nothing has completely solved the problem so far. Forcing network cards to full-duplex does prevent the worst slowdown and hanging described above, but limits upload speed to around half of the maximum available.
Not sure if this is meaningful here, but my service provider claims they have the switch my CPE is connected to configured for full-duplex, but when I have a PC network card set to autonegotiation, it will always result in a 100baseTX half-duplex link with the 575 - this is the case where I get maximum speed in either one direction but also the mentioned problems with bi-directional transfer.
I don't know what more I can do to the PCs here to solve this problem and I don't have access to configuring the CPE device, because I don't own the switch it is connected to. I can only think of trying to ask my ISP to read this thread if someone has a possible solution that requires actions on their behalf.
Any help would be much appreciated.

The problem, as you describe it, is most likely cabling ...it could be the cable between your PC(s) and the 575 (most likely), or between the 575 and the switch.
What you are seeing are the effects of crosstalk (signal from one pair interfereing with the other pair), that's why you see it in full-duplex mode and not (so much) in half-duplex (with half-duplex, only one side talks at a time).
The only part you would be likely be able to change would be the connections on your side of the 575 ... so, try another cable; preferably a store-bought cable and in good shape (twisted, crushed, kinked, stretched, and poorly constructed cables are a Very Bad Thing).
LRE was designed to handle voice-grade cabling, but if you're at near the extreme length, you may see some degradation.
Good Luck

HT4527 playlists dind't transfer

I transferred music from my old to my new mac using an external drive. i followed the instructions exactly but the playlists and ratings didn't copy. they don't appear in itunes on my new mac. what can i do? thanks

How did you do this move?
iTunes: How to move [or copy] your music to a new computer [or another drive] - http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4527
Quick answer if you let iTunes manage your music: Copy the entire iTunes folder (and in doing so all its subfolders and files) intact to the other drive. Start iTunes with the option (shift on Windows) key held down and guide it to the new location of the library.

Rhapsody music subscription transfer problems since updating DroidX to Gingerbread?

Since upgrading the DroidX to Gingerbread (2.3.3), the downloading of subscription music from Rhapsody has been highly unstable. Before that, it worked fine.
With extensive effort, I've gotten a few hundred songs transferred (about 13 playlists). But the 14th playlist froze during transfer, with error codes like 0xc00d2772 and other "general error" messages.
Once the problem starts, I can't transfer any more playlists successfully without 'purging everything' and starting from scratch.
BTW - I'm using the "sideloading" technique (not Rhapsody's Android app, which has also been slow and/or unreliable, but that's a different story).
I've tried numerous suggestions from various forums - too many to list. I called both Verizon and Rhapsody, who suggested various cleanup processes, downloading smaller playlists, downloading the tracks to my computer before transferring them to the phone, and other measures. These suggestions seemed to help.....but not for long. The problem always returns.
I've noticed numerous gripes about Gingerbread, and I suspect it might be the root cause of this problem. I can transfer music to 2 other non-android phones and my old Zen MP3 player.
Can anyone shed some light on this? Is it a Gingerbread problem? (I don't see it on d.harris' list of Gingerbread bugs https://supportforums.motorola.com/thread/51997). Is this problem recognized by the developers? Is a fix in the pipeline? When might it be expected?   Wouldn't Verizon and/or Rhapsody have a vested interest, and put pressure on Motorola to get this addressed? Thanks.

get used to it and be more patience, u will feel better.

Smart Playlist Synch Problem

Okay, so this might be the dumbest problem ever to a lot of people, but when I synch my iPhone to my music, it synch's the top 25 most played playlist...when I look at it in iTunes it's fine, but when I try to listen to it on my iPhone there are completely different songs on it, I've tried doing the 'copy to play order' function and then syncing it (I used to have to do with with my iPod in order to get the most recent songs on the playlist), and I've tried completely deleting the playlist, syncing it, recreating the playlist and syncing it again...and still it doesn't work...
...It doesn't seem like much but it's important to me, if anyone knows what I'm doing wrong please let me know, thank you!

Welcome to the forums.
You're probably not doing anything wrong -- folks are reporting some issues with smart playlists. Try this -- create another smart list but as the criteria only use "Playlist is" and then select your playlist you are trying to transfer. Transfer only this new one.
Also set "live updating" to off -- shouldn't need to but it's worth a try.

Itunes playlist syncing problems

Hello to everyone at the forum.
I have a Blackberry 8900 with a 32GB micro sd card linked up to a HP laptop with windows 7, used mainly for music. I have playlists created on Itunes and I use blackberry media sync to transfer said playlists. Out of the 2000 tracks on both playlists roughly 1300 are being synced to the device. The other 700 tracks do not appear under the "song" category however they do appear in the playlist in a red background with the song information from the file as it is stored on windows unlike the way the information is presented on itunes.
The majority of the unsynced tracks are in mp3 format therefore format problems are unlikely. Also one particular album can contain both synced and unsynced tracks.
Your help is greatly appreciated,

Then my theory about match taking over is correct and unless you disable it you will not get your playlists back.
iTunes will automatically begin scanning your computer's library for matches.
A status indicator will allow you to track progress. You may also manually pause and resume the process at anytime by clicking the Stop or Start button.
Once iTunes has completed matching and uploading your iTunes library, your music in iCloud will be integrated into your local music library. A download button will appear to the right of content that you have in iCloud that doesn't already exist on your computer.

HT1329 Playlist transfer to new computer

I've moved all the songs to my new computer. To save time reorganizing, can all the playlists be moved also?

The playlists are stored in the iTunes library database file. To preserve your complete iTunes library, including things like playlists, ratings, playcount, etc., what you need to do is move the entire iTunes folder, from your user account home folder to the new computer. This includes your iTunes Media folder with your song files.
If you have already manually added the song files to a new iTunes library on the new computer (which creates a new iTunes library database file), you are beyond the point where you can easily get your old playlists back.
If you still have access to your old computer with its iTunes setup intact, you can follow this procedure to move your complete iTunes folder to the new computer. Then, iTunes on the new computer will look exactly like iTunes on the old computer.
http://support.apple.com/kb/ht4527
The procedure to move the complete iTunes folder is the one called External drive.
Although the procedure has many parts and steps, some of them may not apply to your situation. At the high level, you are (1) consolidating your iTunes files so that they are all located in the iTunes folder. If you have been using the standard settings for iTunes, all of your iTunes files may already be in the iTunes folder. Then, (2) copying that iTunes folder to an external drive. And (3) copying that iTunes folder from the external drive to the new computer, to take the place of the existing iTunes folder. If you know how to set up a network connection between the two computers, you can transfer the folder over that connection directly from one computer to the other (with no external drive needed).
The next time you run iTunes on the new computer, it will use your old iTunes foider and it will look like iTunes running on your old computer, with all of your songs and playlists.

ITunes and iPhone purchase transfer problem

I recently suffered a hard drive crash and am currently restoring everything to a new hard drive. Unfortunately my applications I've downloaded from either the iTunes store or on my iPhone are not in my iTunes to transfer back to the phone. They are on my iPhone however. I've right clicked on the iPhone and selected transfer purchases and it transfers a handful of them before giving me an error saying that some of the purchases couldn't be transfered because this computer is not authorized to play. I've already verified that my iTunes/computer is authorized and it continues to give me the problem.
I tried a separate solution that I read on the forums here which said, directly from Apple, that if I try to purchase an app that I've already purchased, it would just download it again. I went and tried that with Air Sharing v1.1.1 that I had originally purchased months back. My credit card was charged $4.99 for the transaction.
I only have one Apple ID that I have been using since I first got iTunes years ago and it's the same Apple ID that I'm entering into iTunes and in my iPhone. I'm at a loss as to how to transfer my applications from my iPhone back to iTunes.
Any suggestions?

Ok click on your device in itunes at the top right. Select Music and you will see Playlists, Artists and if you scroll down the page Genres and Albums. Select which ones you want for your phone and click the sync button bottom right.

N95-2 & Nokia PC Suite media transfer problems

Finally convinced O2 to let me have a N95-2 for less than a kings ransom, and for the most part I love it. The only problem I have is that I cannot load music from my pc to the phone, and upload videos to the pc. I think I am using the correct software, for music I have tried Win Media Player in Media Player usb mode with the cable and bluetooth, and Nokia music manager with Nok PC suite, again with both connections. As for video, I am using the autoloading PS starter program, but it just won't pick up the videos; there is no problem with photos or the free tracks I d/ld from Nokia, direst to the phone.
I am usually pretty good with this sort of thisng, as far as I can tell both bluetooth ( phone and pc dongle), and data cable are fine, and it is making me feel retarded and tarnishing my love for a coveted toy. Has anyone else had this, or can you point me to help? It is pointless ringing O2 for help, and I don't think Nokia has a helpline.

The problem I am having with my n95-8gb is this: when I transfer music using the pc suite to the phone, the playlists get transferred to the phone but do not show up in the phone's music player. They can be found on the file manager but don't show up in the player.
when I transfer music using the data transfer mode, the organised playlist folders get all messed up on the phone. the individual songs only show up on the unknown artist folder. The albums aren't shown as albums/folders so it's impossible to listen to albums in their original order and worse: when there are thousands of songs without names in one single "unknown" folder finding a given song is impossible. is there any fix to this?
I can't update my firmware since I'd lose the options that came with my subscription with the operator.

Business Objects Enterprise 11.5 FTP Transfer Problem

Hello,
Hopefully someone out there will be familiar with the issue I'm having and be able to provide a solution.
We are running Business Objects Enterprise 11.5 on our Windows 2003 server. I've created and scheduled a job on the server that creates an XLS file containing loan portfolio data that is to be transmitted to a third party client on a monthly basis.
The problem centers around the method of transfer, which is via FTP to a secure site hosted by the client. When executed through Crystal, the FTP actually does achieve a successful login using the credentials the client provided (we have verified this repeatedly by looking at the logs), but the client's server "kicks out" when we attempt any operation on it.
A similar result was produced when we attempted to FTP to the site via the Windows command line. The login was successful, but even a simple command to view the directory "dir" resulted in the connection being rejected. To make a long story short, after reviewing the issue extensively with the client's technical department, our conclusion was that the problem was the result of the FTP sending in "active" mode instead of "passive". We confirmed this by installing a freeware FileZilla on the same server, and switching between active and passive modes (active failed, passive did not).
Their tech people recommended that we contact SAP to get answers to two questions, which I'm hoping someone out there may know:
1) How does Business Objects Enterprise 11.5 execute the FTP process? Is it using its own native logic or simply invoking the command line?
2) Is there any setting with the console that would enable us to modify the FTP settings to send force it to send in passive mode?
Thanks.

Hi,
This is a known limitation. BO only supports active mode for FTP. Refer 1782115 - Which FTP mode is supported as a schedule or publication destination for reference.
If you are able to write a batch file or a program object to transfer a file from a file location to Client FTP, you can try the below workaround.
1. Add the script\batch file as a program object in BO. In the script make sure you include the code to delete the instance after it is successfully transmitted through FTP.
2. Create a File event pointing to the location along with the name of the instance.
3. Schedule the report to the file location with the specific instance name.
4. Schedule the program object based on the file event you created in step 2.
Hope this helps.
Regards
Chinmaya
