Can i use my external itunes media folder on mac and windows

Ok, i have moved my media folder itunes to my external drive.
But i also have installed windows 7 on bootcamp
I want to use the same itunes media folder external on my osx and windows is this
possible didn't tryed it because i was afraid that i could damage the data.

Hi
Yes there is a way to use the media folder with both OSX and Windows, however you have to have the drive formatted with windows NTFS and use something like Seagates NTFS for Mac program. If you buy a Seagate GoFlex Drive it comes ready formatted with the software on board to install on your mac, then anything saved on the drive will be readable from both OS.
I use a couple of these drives for just that purpose very successfully, unfortunately I haven't come across an alternative to buying the Seagate drive.
Hope this helps.

HI my mac is low on memory and i want to erase some apps that i don't use in the iTunes media folder that i have already eraed from itunes

HI my mac is low on memory and i want to erase some apps that i don't use in the iTunes media folder that i have already eraed from itunes
how do i erase them without going one by one checking names???

There is no way to automatically select the unused apps. But, you can go go through your apps library and hold the command key as you select each app you want to delete to get them all at once.

How can I use an image as a folder background on icon

vista updated firefox - how can I use an image as a folder background for an icon of that folder (for desktop)

This is not a Firefox related issue or Firefox setting etc. This is a windows or OS setting, I provided the link below on how to change this in Windows Vista.

Can I use Flex with Adobe Media Encoder to automate encoding?

I am thinking about learning Flex assuming I can do the following.
Can I use Flex to automate the process of converting/encoding videos from many formats to FLV format?
If so, what encoder do I use for this process? Flash media encoder?
Can Flash Media Encoder interface with Flex (PHP/XML/ActionScript) to automatically with presets configuered convert/encode videos that have been uploaded and placed into a folder into FLV format?
Thanks.

Guys,
I have developed a simple script ( batch file *.bat)) that will check if encoding is still being done ( every 60+ secs ) and if the process is over, it will shutdown the PC. I tried to keep the code very very simple so that others can improve it.
For now , i have tested this on Windows 7 SP1 - 64 bits and it wokrs well.
Here is the code, copy and paste it into notepad - i named it AutoPowerOff-AdobeMediaEnCoder.bat
..........copy code below ..........
@echo off
echo.
date /t
time /t
echo.
:StartMonitoring
echo.
echo.
echo.
color 0f
echo Start monitoring Adobe Media Encoding Process
echo Check every 60 secs via KeepMonitoring
ping 127.0.0.1 -n 60 > nul
Goto Check
:KeepMonitoring
echo.
echo.
echo.
color 0f
echo Continue Monitoring Adobe Media Encoding Process - every 60s
ping 127.0.0.1 -n 60 > nul
Goto Check
:Check
echo.
echo.
echo.
color 0e
echo Checking If Encoding Process Over ?
echo.
echo.
color 0a
tasklist | find /i "PProHeadless.exe"
IF ERRORLEVEL 1 GOTO AutoPowerOFF
IF ERRORLEVEL 0 echo. && echo Encoding Still In Progress && GOTO KeepMonitoring
:AutoPowerOFF
echo.
echo.
echo.
color 0c
echo Process PProHeadless.exe does not exist anymore
echo Assume Encoding DONE
echo PC Poweroff Initiated
echo.
echo.
echo ShutDown PC After 60 sec
shutdown /s /t 60

....... end of code ..............
If some of you can check it out on other platforms and report back, i can maintain this thread.

How can i use my files(apps,media) from my main os to another os in one mac?

When yosemite was released, i was excited to install it but the problem is that i don't want my main os to be compromised because i think that yosemite is kinda new and it's only 10.0 version and Dota 2 does not work on Yosemite and it's very unstable according to Steam forums and many other sites. My main OSX is still mountain lion and the only os x version that makes dots 2 stable. What i did is I partitioned my hard drive into two one for my main os and one for yosemite. Now i have two os x on my macbook pro. Now the problem is i don't want to install Logic Pro X again and re-download many samples and stuff. When i open the finder in Yosemite, i can see my mountain lion disk where all my files located at? Can i use those files without copying it because my yosemite disk is only 40 gb and my projects and sample audios is 60 gb and open apps from that disk to yosemite? Thanks. Sorry for the long text. I just want to give you the background.

If you live near an Apple Store, make a Genius Bar appointment to have the computer tested. Supposedly there is no charge for testing. They can also give you an estimate.

Attempting to copy files fails(i can't add files to the media folder)

I am using Itunes 10 on windows 7 64 bit and my problem is :
I changed the default storage directoy (because my first HDD is too small )
to the second disk of mine , by going to edit,advanced preferences and changing the path and clicking "Copy files to my itunes media folder when adding to libray"(i need this option)"
Since then whenever i try to add something to the library(it can add to the library its the extra copy feature in whcih it fails) i get the error
"Attempting to copy to the disk "name of the disk" failed.You do not have enough access privileges for this operation."
Please i need some help.Thanks

I don't know, but in general I would advise adding content to the library, then adding the content from the library to the device. Syncing with selected playlists is easiest as you can manage the content when the device isn't connected and you'll be able to restore the selections if you need to restore the device.

Can I use file names from some folder to specisfly a value of a variable

so here is the thing I want to do:
I've got like 3 variables in my swf file which value tells to
the code how many picture there are to load.
So I have like
var totalPics:Number = 5
in my folder images I have 5 pics, but I want to put 3 more
so I want to make suck code that will check the total files in the
folder and return a value of 8 or check the name of the last file
found in the foulder like pic8.swf (I've made it into swf to load
in a loader) and to take that letter 8 from it as a value to put in
the variable totalPics so it is = 8.
Can u tell me is this possible to make in flash.... where I
should read helps or guides .. or just give me a simple example
please.
Thank u a lot. If u have any more questions, just ask me..

Very helpful of you guys ;] Thanks a lot.. so lets continue
on the matter..
GWD the second option is good but can work in a simplier
code.. mine is a bit complexed and by that I mean.. that the total
number of pics or things to load should be known for the main swf
file at his start. That is because before the turn for the pics to
load comes, there is something else that must happen first, and it
depends on that total number (actually 3 total numbers cuz there
are 3 folders with different pics that must mix) So.. can't use the
second option cuz it works good when the code is a bit more simple
than that.
If u didn't understand whant I tried to explain.. doesn't
matter.. not so important atm.
Now the thing with the LoadVars.. yes, I've been thinking the
same thing but like this: At the 1st frame in the main timeline I
have 3 variables that are used further in the code and that must be
predefined by how many pics there actually are, so.. I've been
thining to make 3 different var1.txt, var2.txt and var3.txt files
for example and to put there as value just the number I need. So
when I add more pics for example to my images folder, I edit the
txt file containing their total number and just change it so the
code can automatically add the new pics to the sequence.
I've got some examples of this how LoadVars works with txt
files and I think I can manage to do that, but anyway would be nice
of you to give me some example ;] and of course correct me if my
toughts above are not true.
Now.. SumTsb.. what u mentioned, I am interested in, because
I have a PHP guy, who can make me a code that automatically counts
and gives back the totalPics number from a certain folder (I don't
know for sure that it is possible but if it is he can do it). My
point is.. When he makes this code.. that reterns value of
totalPics, how can I redirect it so it changes the value of
totalPics inside my main swf file. I see only this as option at the
moment:
1) when someone adds or deletes files from the folder the php
code returns a different value, equal to the number of files in the
folder, and automatically changes the content of the file var1.txt
like this:
First off var1.txt has: &content=10 // this is the total
number of pics/swf files in the folder;
when u add.. like 3 more files.. the php code changes the
value inside of var1.txt to: &content=13 and when the main swf
is started he takes the new value and my problem is solved. Is this
what I say as example true ? If it is I guess the only thing left
for me is the php programer to make his code and job is done.
But answer me this question too: is it possible the php code
to return the value of the totalPics directly into the main swf
file. So if I have inside the main swf a variable at the first
frame ot the main timeline called totalPics, can the php give it a
value equal to the total numbers of files in a folder, and how ?
I guess I've written too too much :D so I'll wait what u will
answer me now.. I think you understood my idea.. and if more
questions arise I will write u back. And if no.. I will just thank
you a lot :D

Can I use FCS without the media?

Can Final Cut Server be used as just an information database without the media the info references? We're using Filemaker right now, but we have FCS. We don't have the budget for a full online system for final cut server (all of the hard drive space required), but we do have some.
I just want to know if FCS requires having the media attached as well. I'd like our entire office to be able to use FCS at the very least to find information on our media and know how to get to even if the drive that has the media isn't online.

To answer your last question
Question:
Does this mean that FCS requires you to import the media before it will retain any information or before I can delete the media and it retains the info?
Answer:
Yes, FCSvr requires you to import an asset before you can apply metadata to it. This can be a 1 second Quicktime movie to conserve on hard diskspace.
Question:
If I just wanted to manually type a record for our media could I do that?
Answer:
No
So for the rest of your question, I have for example create scripts that take records from a Filemaker .csv dump and done the following.
Scenario:
Filemaker
Outputs a .csv file with information pertaining to asset, these records have a filename as part of the records, but if your data doesn't have a filename it's ok.
Final Cut Server (script)
1. Reads the CSV file and 1 record at a time create assets in Final Cut Server will retaining the metadata from Filemaker.
This way you can use Final Cut Server to search for files. If you use the original files vs (dummy i second files) you can actually view the proxies to see what the assets are.
1. Create

What can I use to get shared media across OSes on my local network?

Hey guys,
My family is getting a new home entertainment center and I've thrown together a PC from spare parts around the house to put behind it and I'd like to know if there's a program out there that would allow me to gather shared media across the local network (everyone else in my family uses Windows...mainly Vista :-/ ). If not, is there any other way I can access the shared media (short of putting Windows on the PC of course)? I tried searching, but I couldn't seem to come up with anything.
Thanks in advance!

Alright, so I've been working with Samba today, and I believe I have it working properly. However, I can't seem to access any shared files/folders on machines that have Vista on them.
When I run smbtree, I get this output:
\\HOMEMEDIA
\\WINXPCOMP
\\VISTACOMP1
timeout connecting to 192.168.1.107:445
timeout connecting to 192.168.1.107:139

cli_start_connection: failed to connect to VISTACOMP2<20> (0.0.0.0). Error NT_STATUS_ACCESS_DENIED
\\WIN7PC
I'm not really sure what to do here. I've tried changing around settings in the smb.conf file, but I'm not really sure what exactly it is that I'm doing for every option. Also, smbtree sometimes won't output a tree at all and it will just hang. I'm quite confused, any suggestions on what I should try?
Also, one of my Windows 7 PCs won't show up on smbtree. I can ping it though...maybe it's not on the right workgroup?
EDIT: I was able to fix the problem with my second Windows 7 computer, apparently I had to change from 128-bit encryption to 40/56 bit encryption, then smbtree was able to pick up on it.

Can you use Drobo as external disk on WRT610N?

I looked around on the forum here for info, but couldn't find anything. I am attempting to hook up a Drobo to my WRT610N and it doesn't show up under the router setup page. Am I doing something wrong or is this just not a supported device of this router? I have updated to the latest firmware.
Thanks for the help!

Probably so... I read here that the E3000 which is a newer router can't recognize RAID. Or you might need to wait a while for it to get recognized, like on this thread.
Sorry if that's much of a help, just pointing out possible resources

Can't use WAP2 with XP Media Center and WRT54GL

I downloaded and installed the patch from MS that supposedly enables WAP2 on XP, but when I switch to that level of security, I lose all connectivity. Did I miss something in the setup?

First of all, give your network a unique SSID. Do not use "linksys". If you are using "linksys" you may be trying to connect to your neighbor's router. Also set "SSID Broadcast" to "enabled". This will help your computer find and lock on to your router's signal.
Also, in the computer, go to your wireless software, and go to "Preferred Networks" (sometimes called "Profiles" ). There are probably a few networks listed. Delete any network named "linksys". Also delete any network that you do not recognize, or that you no longer use. Also delete any entry for your current network. Reboot computer. Now return to "Preferred Networks" and enter your current network info (SSID, encryption, and key). Then select your current network and make it your default network, and set it to automatic login. You may need to go to "settings" to do this, or you may need to right click on your network and select "Properties" or "settings". Reboot computer. Computer should connect automatically.
If the above does not fix your problem, download and install the latest driver for your wireless card.
Hope this helps.

ITunes can't locate any music/iTunes Media folder cleared

I ran a few cleaning programs to clear up unceassary files/cashes to get some extra space on my HD. Later, I went onto iTunes to play some music, and it asked me to locate the file. Turns out this is siutation for every file, and after further inspection, my the 'Music' folder in the 'iTunes Media' foler is empty. For over half the music in my library, the only copy of the .mp3 was in this folder. I am not 100% certain that it was removed from using these cleaning programs, but it is the only reason I can think of.
Is there anyway to efficently locate the missing files which I do have in another location? (I have tried the method were you locate one and iTunes does the rest. This was ineffective). Is there any way to recover the files which were lost/could they be anywhere else? Finally, am I able to utilise my iPhone/iPad (which has substancial music on it) to help locate .mp3 files and/or re-add songs which have totally been wiped.
A horrible situation. If there is nothing i will have to restore my computer to its last back up which was 4 months ago .
Thanks for any help!

Hey, make sure that your extnal hard drive is connected. Start
iTunes. No need to connect your iPod at this stage.Go into
Edit - Prefs, select the advanced tab at the top and
ensure that the path to iTunes music folder location is
set to your ext. hard drive. e.g. E:\exthd\iTunes\music. Always
ensure that your external hard disk is connected before
you start iTunes otherwise iTunes will get confused.
The 4500 songs should now be seen by iTunes.
The odd few albums/songs that are located on your c:\drive
will now have a circle next to them, indicating that the
original files cannot be found. Simply move these to the
external hard disk and re-import the individual
songs/Albums again.
