I have a question about downloading and itunes on TWO computers.

Where I work I have really fast internet, perfect for downloading movies, etc. At home, in the sticks, I have slow internet. Is there any way to rent/buy media on my work computer itunes (Win) to take home (say on my iPhone) and sync with my Mac iTunes?
Thanks!

Hmm, not sure this will help, but let's try...
Sync iPod/iPad/iPhone with two computers
Although it isn't possible to sync an Apple device with two different libraries it is possible to sync with the same logical library from multiple computers. Each library has an internal ID and when iTunes connects to your iPod/iPad/iPhone it compares the local ID with the one the device normally syncs with. If they are the same you can go ahead and sync...
I have my library cloned to a small 1Tb USB drive which I can take between home & work. At either location I use SyncToy 2.1 to update the local copy with the external drive. Mac users should be able to find similar tools. I can open either of the local libraries or the one on the external drive and update the media content of my iPhone. The slight exception is Photos which normally connects to a specific folder on a specific machine, although that can easily be remapped to the current library if you create a "Photos" folder inside the iTunes Media folder so that syncing the iTunes folders keeps this up to date as well. I periodically sweep my library for new files & orphans with iTunes Folder Watch just in case I make changes at one location but then overwrite the library with a newer copy from the other. Again Mac users should be able to find similar tools.
As long as your media is organised within an iTunes Music or Tunes Media folder, in turn held inside the main iTunes folder that has your library files (whether or not you let iTunes keep the media folder organised) each library can access items at the same relative path from the library folder so the library can be at different drives/paths on different machines. This solution ensures I always have adequate backups of my library and I can update my devices whenever I can connect to the same build of iTunes.

I have a tricky question about metadata and iTunes Match!

Hi,
Here's my question:
I have purchased some content from the iTunes Store, most of it classical music (although that's not so relevant for my question). The Store metadata is generally poor, so for every purchased item I changed the metadata to suit my tastes (for example, all albums by J.S. Bach have "Bach" as artist, instead of the performer, which is the default in the iTunes Store).
I have read some nightmare stories about metadata reverting to the original iTunes Store metadata, when subscribing to iTunes Match.
I have also understood that iTunes Match does not change the metadata stored locally on my HD.
So here is my question, which is twofold:
1) Say I bought a song by the artist "John" on the iTunes Store. On my library, I changed the artist field metadata to "Jeff". Now, I subscribe to iTunes Match. Naturally, it will match my song to the one on the Store. On my iPhone, will my song appear under "John", or "Jeff"?
2) In the same setting, after subscribing, will I still find this song under "Jeff" on my local library? In other words, what will change in my Desktop experience with iTunes?
If having bad metadata when browsing my music on my iPhone is the price to pay for having all my music at my disposal anytime, I won't mind. But if iTunes Match messes up all my hard work getting my library just right on my Desktop, then I have to pass.
Can you guys help me make a decision?
Thanks,
Paulo

Thanks,
Here is what another user got on https://discussions.apple.com/message/23028717#23028717 :
"I can say that when my spouse gifted me with iTunes Match it was a disaster for my music library. It's all classical, and I also standardized names of composers, performers especially when there were multiple ones, and a ton of other stuff. Whatever matched, iTunes just upped and erased that, and used the title, artist, and whatever else from the store."
This is *exactly* what I don't want to see happening! However, I could not find any other reports of what he describes. What do you think?

Question about icloud and itunes match

when icloud comes out i know i can download all my purchased music on my apple id but i purchased most of my apps and music on an old apple id , my question is if i use itunes match are those apps and songs assosiated with my new apple id so when i backup from iCloud my old music and apps are there too. In pretty sure my music will work with itunes match but what about my apps?

Itunes match has not been release so it is hard to know.
Just sign into your old account and use icloud.

Newbie Question about downloading and installing Firefox

Hello,
I recently downloaded Firefox 2.0.0.3, got it all set up and used it for a while, I am the admin on this machine, my wife is the only other user, I logged in to her acct to make sure that FF was there, but it wasn't?? Thought maybe I should reboot, after the reboot, no firefox on my acct or hers! Completely disappeared, can anyone give me a clue as to what might be going on?
Thanks in advance,

Common n00b mistake (joking about the n00b remark)
It looks like your running the program (Firefox) from the mounted dmg file. When you download Firefox, (and many other apps) it downloads as a .dmg file. Now, you probably have dmg files set to mount automatically when downloaded which is OK. You are probably launching the program from that mounted dmg file which is not OK. Here's what you need to do:
After the dmg file mounts, instead of double clicking it, drag it to your Applications folder and launch it from there. That's it. Oh, it'll also be available to all your machine's users as well.
Good Luck.

Question about downloading and accessing video in FC Express. HELP!

Very new to Final Cut Express.... Is it possible to download video (from a Canon Vixia HD30) via firewire to an external drive then access the video footage for FC Express from that drive? Or does the footage still need to move to the computers drive? Bottom line is if possible I want to keep my main drive as clear as possible. If this is all possible any recommendations on what drives would work best for this? Any assistance you can provide is appreciated. Thank You.

Thank You.. I guess my last question is this.. I have one firewire port.. If the external drive is attached to that I dont have a free firewire port to download the video onto that drive.. Unless I can download via USB..

I have several albums I downloaded and Itunes it shows up in several albums with several songs in one folder and several in others

I have downloaded several albums that show up in several folders with the same name but only a few songs in each folder. How do I get them all in one folder? It would be nice if you could just click,drag and drop in one folder. I am so frustrated with trying to figure it out, I am ready to just buy a cheap MP3 player and moth ball this Ipod!

Generally setting a common Album Artist will fix things.

Question about downloading and editing images from sd card

I know you can use an sd card connector kit to download images to the newè iPads. A few questions:
My sd card has both a raw and jpeg version of each image, but I only want to download the jpegs. Since I believe the iOS doesn't show file extensions, how can I identify just the jpeg images?
Once on the ipad, where are the photos placed?
Can you create separate folders and place certain images in them?
And if you edit an image and save it as a different file, can I place it in a folder I've created?

This is an iPad question and should be posted in the iPad discussion which is located here:

I have a question about fields and NTSC 24fps.

I shoot in DV (30fps), edit with final cut, export using compressor to DVD studio pro. The end product is a DVD that get's played on a TV in the U.S. I have always used the sequence preset DV NTSC 48kz. Which is 29.97 fps. It works fine and that's the same preset I capture with.
Today while playing around with the presets I noticed a DV NTSC 24. Which is 24 fps and has a field dominance set to none.
Can someone explain this too me?
1. Why would someone use 24fps sequence preset on footage that is captured at 24 fps on the camera?
2. Why would someone set a field dominance to none. What does that give you? I am assuming it deinterlaces the orginal video footage and makes the footage progressive?
Can anyone help me out or point me to a good website that would explain some of this stuff.
Thanks

1. Why would someone use 24fps sequence preset on footage that is captured at 24 fps on the camera?
Because if they shot 24P or 24PA, then they'd want to edit in a 24p timeline. (which runs at 23.98)
2. Why would someone set a field dominance to none. What does that give you? I am assuming it deinterlaces the orginal video footage and makes the footage progressive?
24P...P stands for PROGRESSIVE. No interlacing, therefore no fields...therefore no field dominance.
Can anyone help me out or point me to a good website that would explain some of this stuff.

Please help me-I have a question about downloading songs

I figured it out ! yaya

Two questions about photos and iTunes.

If I add the album art to the songs in my album playlists, that will carry over to my iPod, correct?
AND, is there a faster way to do this than just individually adding cover art to each file?

Andy,
select an album using the search window in your music library.
Confirm that no other songs sneaked into the narrow selection on display.
Get info for the music and paste the album art. iTunes will ask you if you want to do this to all songs, say yes, all songs should now display the same art.
Next time your sync, the album art will be displayed on your nano

2 question about GPU and Lens correction ,cs5

Hi
i have 2 questions about Gpu and lens correction in Cs5
1)Filter->lens correction->search online
i get often and almost every connection time out at the first click on search online , at the second click i get no online profile
is it normal?
2) question is about Gpu
it run faster , but talking about ajustament layer
like saturation or vibrance for example
i found with the gpu on , a light slow refresh compared with gpu off
i have set cache levels 6 ,history 20
i guess are the defaul
well i add a saturation layer and move the saturation slide ,increase o decrease saturation
with Gpu Off , the changes are immedially , i mean i can see in real time the increase o decrease of saturation
with Gpu On it takes a few(very few) time more
again is normal ?
don't be angry , i'm going to buy cs5 and i'm unsecure ... the price make a big role
thanks

For what it's worth, I also see a timeout on the first [ Search Online ] click, after about half a minute delay. Second click turns up results immediately. This happens each time Lens Correction is started, even without restarting Photoshop, and in both 32 and 64 bit versions. Also note that I started with one profile listed by default (though from the wrong camera) for my 40D with 28-135 zoom.
I alsow noticed that I was seeing progress bar activity in the Lens Correction dialog while I was typing this (even though Lens Correction was NOT the active window) every time I hit the 'L' key. Strange.

Hi, I have a question about iCloud. I have an ipod 4th generation and im getting a 5th generation. i have lots of games such as subway surfers and temple run 2. I worked and played really hard on earning stuff and have also made in app purchases. Does iCloud save that kind of stuff?

See:

However, not all in-app purchases will transfer to another device. For which ones ill not see:

If you get an error that says can't backup, try moving the existing backup file to a safe location and thry again. again. You can find the location of the backup file here:

Hi I have a question about shooting in Raw with my Canon EOS 6d.
I'm in the process of learning photography and my goal was to start shooting in raw.
I have Photoshop CS5. When I tried to edit my images in raw I received an error message stating, "The photoshop camera raw plug-in did not recognize the format. If these files are from a camera, you may need to update your camera raw plug in."
In researching the issue I read that to edit in raw you need a camera model requirement of at least 7.3 which only works with CS6. My version of CS5 is 6.0.0.205. Being new to all this I see that my options are to upgrade to CS6 or convert by using DNG converter and paying a monthly fee. Two things I know nothing about and don't know which is would be more beneficial.
I'd appreciate any advise on which route to go and how upgrade and what it may cost. THANKS in advance!

That is correct. Your camera was first supported by Camera Raw 7.3. Camera Raw 7.3 will not work with CS5. You need CS6 or CC.
Being new to all this I see that my options are to upgrade to CS6 or convert by using DNG converter and paying a monthly fee. Two things I know nothing about and don't know which is would be more beneficial.
I'd appreciate any advise on which route to go and how upgrade and what it may cost.
It all depends on your preferred workflow and your budget.
Using the DNG converter is free. There is no monthly fee. You use the converter to convert all Raw files from the EOS 6D to DNGs then edit the DNGs in CS5. That's an extra step every time - every photo. Some people don't like the extra step. Others don't mind.
Camera raw, DNG | Adobe Photoshop CC
Or you can upgrade to CS6 (non-Cloud) and pay the upgrade fee
Creative Suite 6
Or join the Cloud and pay the monthly fee
Or join the Photoshop Photography Program (US9.99/month) and get PS CC+LR
