I am reorganizing the library using Windows Explorer.

I have been reorganizing the folders under iTunes Media/Music. Several of the changes worked just fine. After my last change iTunes only displays 10 of 60 albums. The problme started when I accidently started iTunes with my backup portable hard drive attached to the PC. The folder structure was mirrored on the portable HD. After disconnecting the portable HD, I have had this problem.
Hos do I recover?

iTunes really doesn't like you moving files around by hand. However as long as there is some semblance of order my script FindTracks should have a reasonable stab at reconnecting things. Turn off Edit > Preferences > Advanced > Keep... if you want to maintain the structural changes you've made so far.
For tips on how to organize the metadata properly in iTunes see Grouping tracks into albums - if you follow the tips there, and iTunes is taking charge of moving the files around, then they will all end up in sensible places.

When I attempt to download a Adobe PDF document I get a plackard saying "There was an error processing a page. There was a problem reading this document (109)." I don't have the problem using Windows Explorer. Can you help?

I don't have any details other than what I have explained in the question. Have always been able to download Adobe files in the past. Tried Windows Explorer and it worked. Don't like Windows Explorer.

Using FF 5.0.
I've encountered this opening the following file:
* http://download.esha.com/fandc/error/sqlfc.pdf
The error occurred the first time I tried to open, but subsequent times it has opened fine. A co-worker gets the error everytime when trying to view in his FF 5.0. It has always opened fine in IE for both of us (like the OP meant, I think -- I don't like IE. Not even a little bit!).
Downloading the file seems fine (opening in Acrobat Reader itself).

Why cannot I see my music on my iPod when connected to the pc, using Windows explorer

I am having problems with seeing my iPod Classic in my Windows Explorer.... when connecting using the correct leads I can only see the non-essential directoris, my music is hidden and is shown as F1, F2, F3,etc......
Please help as I wish to transfer the music to my netbook...
Thanks

Those F1, F2, etc., folders are the ones containing your actual music. If you copy these over to your Desktop and then into iTunes most of your track tags should still be with associated with the correct tracks in these folders. Some may not.

Adding a Sharepoint Document Library in Windows Explorer Fovorites

I want to add a sharepoint document library in my favorites in windows explorer... Every time I copy the link, instead of opening the library in windows explorer, it open the browser and go directly to the site... Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks in advance,
Sebastien

Hi Seabass:
Have you tried mapping the library in question as a network location on your local machine?
http://windows.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/create-shortcut-map-network-drive#1TC=windows-7
To map to a particular SharePoint resource on your site, you would use this structure:
\\mysharepointsite@80\sites\library\Photos as your network address.
In this manner, you can add this link to your Favorites, and you will have the Windows Explorer mode you're requesting. Hope this helps! ;)

What will happen to the organization of library if I removed the songs from windows explorer? Will iTunes automatically updated without all the deleted songs, or it will indicate 'missing location'? Any fast ways to clear this 'missing location' songs?

What will happen to the organization of library if I removed the songs from windows explorer?
Background: I found it easier to identify duplicated songs in windows explorer as the songs will be renamed .... 1.mp3, thus enabling me to remove the duplicated songs; unlike in iTunes where I know the trick of showing duplicate songs, but you don't know which one is the one with 1 at the end of the file name.
Will iTunes automatically update the library without all the deleted songs, or will it indicate 'missing location' songs? Any fast ways to clear this 'missing location' songs by highlighting them all and delete all at one go?
Thanks.

One way is to use iTunes Folder Watch with its option to check for dead tracks on start up.
Another option is with a set of Lost & Found playlists.
Lost & Found
Create a playlist called Found, select everything in Music and drag it into the Found playlist. Create a smart playlist called Lost matching All the rules Playlist is Music and Playlist is not Found. Your lost tracks will be in this playlist. You can delete them all with a Ctrl-A to select them and Shift-Delete to remove them.
You can then delete the Lost & Found playlists.

How do you open the DVD tray on a K430 without using Windows Explorer?

How do you open the DVD tray on a K430 without using Windows Explorer? I can't find a button on or below the door. Am I missing something? Additionally, will the K430 boot from a DVD/CD if it finds one in the DVD tray instead of the hard disk? Please help. Thanks.
Solved!
Go to Solution.

hi penguin247,
Regarding your questions:
1. Can you try to press the eject symbol on the DVD bay and observe if the DVD tray comes out.
Link to picture
2. By default, the HDD is set as the first boot device and the ODD second on the K430. You will need to change the boot order or continuously tap F12 during POST to boot from the ODD (assuming you have a bootable media inserted).

How can I access the iphoto library using windows pc? Upgrading to aperture solves my problem?

How can I access the iphoto library using windows pc? Upgrading to aperture solves my problem?
My home network is used both by my macbook and my wife's windows pc. Considering that, I would like to know if we can share our pictures with each other (specially because I intend to store all of them into a NAS storage - WD My Cloud, probably).

No you can not - neither iPhoto nor Aperture has any cross platform capability
You can share photos with the PC using MyPhotoStream or Shared PhotoStreames
You can not share the iPhoto library
And you can not put the iPHoto library on a NAS - it MUST always be on a volume formatted Mac OS extended (journaled) and mube on a fast wired local connection - it can not be on a Network
There are Digital Asset Managers that can do what you want - iPhoto and Aperture can not

New Router- Internet OK, but cannot see other machines on the network with Windows Explorer

Everything was fine (but slow) with my old Linksys BRFW1154. Ordered and got a new WRT350N. Multiple computers (using Windows XP) on network can all access the internet and the network printer, but when I try to use Windows Explorer to see files etc on other computers (in My Network Places) from any computer, I no longer can see the other computers. I get the error: "Workgroup is not accessible. You might not have permission to use this ........etc....".
Any ideas out there as to how I get my network working again?

check whether all the computers can ping each other fine...also, the computers should be in the same workgroup

New Windows Setup Can Be Synced To Only the Last Used Windows Installation?

Hello,
I have found out that Windows allows you to synchronize only with the last used Windows installation and does not allow you to choose to which of your Windows installations you want to synchronize. Why is that?
Here's my experience.
1. I installed Windows 10 TP for Enterprise and while in the Setup wizard chose to synchronize with the Windows installation that was last used to log in with the Microsoft account I specified during the setup of Windows 10 TP for Enterprise.
I had my appearance, Windows configuration settings and browser favorites successfully synchronized with the my laptop running Windows 8.1
2. Then I installed another copy of Windows 10 TP for Enterprise. At that time the first setup of Windows 10 TP for Enterprise was the last Windows installation to use my Microsoft account.
When I was asked to what Windows PC I would like to synchronize I had no option to choose other than the last used Windows 10 TP for Enterprise that I had just deployed.
It would've been great if I could select from any of the PCs that I used to log in with my Microsoft account, like you could do in Internet Explorer that allows you to show recent visited websites for all of you registered PCs.
Well this is the world we live in And these are the hands we're given...

Yes, it downloaded all the emails and folders. I did some checking on the Gmail website and found a setting there for POP3: Download ALL, Download from this point forward, Disable POP. It defaults to download all. I changed it to Download from this point forward. That took care of the issue. Three steps are required for Gmail:
1) Download TB and set the account to use POP instead of IMAP.
2) Log on to your Gmail web account and go to Settings, Forwarding and POP/IMAP.
3) Select Enable POP for mail that arrives from now on.
After doing these steps, start Thunderbird and it should only receive new email messages.
I will mark the issue solved, but wanting to provide you what I learned to help others in the future. Thank You , Greg Nackers

I just downloaded Autocad to my downloads file, how do I take it from there to my Parallels Desktop without using "Windows Explorer"?

I just downloaded Autocad to my downloads file, how do I take it from there to my Parallels Desktop without using "Windows Explorer"?

Did you download it from Adobe or a pop up? If it was a pop up do not open it. Make sure you only get it directly from Adobe here:
http://get.adobe.com/flashplayer/
There is some malware that poses as Flash, in pop ups.
Then do as macbig explained double click on the file,
After you open and install the .dmg reboot your computer to complete the installation

Problems in using Windows Explorer with VPC Virtual PC?

Has anybody experienced problems in using Windows Explorer with VPC Virtual PC?
Lacking any "forbidden" or "appropriate usage" guidelines, I regularly use Windows Explorer (Windows 2000) to transfer file from the desktop. I have occasionally sensed that this might be wrong. Today I inadvertently clicked the MAC harddrive instead of the Desktop (within Windows Explorer) and caused all manner of mischief.
Any other views please?

Let me correct this:
I regularly use Windows Explorer (Windows 2000) to transfer files from the "Mac" desktop
Any ideas please Virtual PC VPC users?

Photo problems and can i drag and drop files using windows explorer?

i can only sync photos frm my com to my touch but i cant choose which photos i want and i tried searching for the files in itunes and i cant find them, thus cant delete them...
on top of that, i can access the files in my touch but cant find any option to delete them...
when i go the photos tab in itunes, it only shows me the window to sync files and the 2nd question too...
because when i drag and drop on itunes, it's quite laggy...and if i use windows explorer to drag and drop, will the duplicates on my playlist appear as 2 files or will it be like itunes where it can detect the main file and simply adds it to the list?
thank you...
sorry for the wall of text...

There's no manual mode for photos just different ways to sync but here's a simple "How To" on managing your photos so that it's easy to add and delete what you want on the iPod:
1 Create a folder on your hard drive to hold the photos you want on your iPod. Call it iPod Photos for example
2 Drag the photos you want from your usual picture folder into the folder you just created
2 Open iTunes, select your iPod in the iTunes Source list.
3 Click the Photos tab and select “Synch photos from.”
4 Choose “Choose Folder” from the pop-up menu and select the iPod photos folder you created.
5 When you want to change what photos are on the iPod just add or remove the photos from the folder you have made and syncronise the the iPod
You can't drag photos or music to the iPod from Windows Explorer, you have to add content through iTunes or you'll not be able to view or play it.

No Default ACL when using Windows Explorer?

No matter what Default ACL I specify on any user's account,
adding new documents using Windows Explorer causes an initial
ACL of "Published". Also, when I right-click on the iFS network
drive and select "iFS User Profile", it shows the Default ACL
as "Published".
Is this a known feature?
I want my users to be able to do everything from Windows
Explorer, but they need to copy and paste "template" folder
structures. If they do this in Windows Explorer, the ACL's do
not get copied. I could understand if someone says the pasted
folders are new folders, so they should get the user's Default
ACL, but even that isn't working, so the users must go through
each folder/file and reestablish an ACL using Windows Explorer.
BTW, The Web Application copies the ACLs in a copy/paste
operation.
Thanks,
David Frankel

Make the Library Preview Windows Larger?

Is there any way to make the Library Preview Window larger? When I'm working at a high screen resolution, the previews are just too small to see.

You can also turn on zoom in System Preferences/Universal Access, then use *cmd opt =* (that's holding down the command or apple key, the option key, and the = key) to enlarge, cmd opt - to shrink back down.

Transfering Files Using Windows Explorer

Rather than using windows media player, why can't I just use windows explorer to add photos to my droid 2? When I hook up my droid 2 to my computer with the usb cable, the droid appears in windows explorer. I want to just drag and drop photos to the droid. I have tried this with a couple of photos and it seems to work. Will this method cause any problems? It seems a lot easier than using windows media player to "sync" files.

It apeaqrs that they automatically go into the photo folder. I was able to access them via the "Gallery" app.
I wonder why the user guide doesn't recommend this since I find it a lot easier to do than using the "sync" process?

I am reorganizing the library using Windows Explorer.
