Importing into mac from hard disk - impossible to maintain order

ok, have several music lists - 7, each for the day of the week, and import them into Itunes.
In preferences, I have under advanced unchecked
- keep iTunes media folder organized
- copy files to iTunes Media Folder when adding to library
so everything stays on the external hard disk.
now, all songs are marked
in monday:   m0001   m0002
on tuesday   tu0001   tu0002
etc.
no problem at all for monday, tuesday - thursday, friday, saturday and sunday.
on wednesday - a complete mix up with some songs that have nothing to do with the list.
there are even songs there that are NOT on the original list!
I have deleted everything from iTunes, loaded again and .... same problem
importing I do by dragging the mp3 files (songs) from a hard disk into iTunes
again, all days work perfectly BUT wednesday.

strangely enough, the number of songs (342) is exactly the same in the original list and on the iTunes list

Files imported into Project from hard drive - big problem

I am a new user of Aperture (v2.1), having been a Lightroom user. I had lots of files on my hard drive organized by year and subject.
I imported them into separate new project folders (choosing the option of leaving them in their current location when importing). All looks great in my project folders when I am in Aperture, and everything is where it should be.
Now here's the problem . . . when I use Finder and look into the folder the images were stored in, the folders are still there with the photos still inside, but now there are many individual file folders, each with one image inside (RAW) . . . so, say I had 50 raw images in my original folder on my hard disk, I now have that folder and 50 other individual folders, each with the file name of the one image that is inside the folder. As you can imagine, this is using up a lot of disk space.
I hope someone can help with this. I figure I am doing something wrong, but in searching for answers, I could not find anything about this problem.
Thanks in advance for any help on this.

Have you tried searching for something like IMG_1234.jpg
Or your regular file name format.

Importing Local DCs from hard disk into NWDS

Hi..
I have a Local Webdynpro DC zipped file in my .dtc folder under a package folder (say com.sap).
I have extracted this file under this folder.
Now I need to extract this in my NWDS local development.
I am not using NWDI... I am using only Local DCs.
I want to import the file into a Webdynpro Local DC into my NWDS..
Please provide your valuable suggestions...
Thanks and Regards,
Sayan Ghosh

Hi Sayan,
Go to the Development Configurations Perspective(Window->Open Perspective->Development Configurations)-> Local Dcs->MyComponents->here you can see all your DCs, Right click on the DC->Create Project-> DC will be created. You can see that DC in the Webdynpro Perspective.
Or
You can create the the new DC with the required name, once it is done then copy the src folder from the old DC to Newly created DC->Reload DC.
Thanks n Regards,

Importing P2 Media from Hard Disk?

This is fairly new technology and I have been having a very difficult time finding anyone who has done this, so any help/guidance is much appreciated. To be clear, I am not trying to ingest media from a P2 card reader/camera or P2 store. I have the media Card files on a G-Drive and I'v found the work-flow instructions for this task in the Apple "HD and Broadcast Formats" Users Guide in FCP 5.1.4 and I'm following it thoroughly, yet the P2 volumes do not appear in the Browser window of the 'Import from Panasonic P2' pop-up window no matter what path I take. Any ideas from one of the few that have done it?

I'm not able to copy and paste files from my mac to hard disk and usb. I have tried dragging the items to those devices but it won't work. I also have tried copying and pasting those files onto those devices but that doesn't work too. Can any one help?

Hi BobRz
Thanks for you suggestion but it didn't work - are there other ways for solving this problem? Or is it because my files that I want to copy and paste onto my hard disk etc are too big? (However there is space on my hard disk and it works on a PC)

Noise from hard disk

Hi, everyone.
I bought a new mackbook pro in this Jan. Recently, I hear some not continuously noise from hard disk, especially when i open a file in hard disk or verify the hard disk. Is something wrong with my hard disk?
Thanks

This hard disk clicking is a know problem for many laptops. If you search it on Google, you will find a lot of discussions about it in the Unbuntu Linux forums. In most cases, it is due to the Advanced Power Management (APM) feature of notebook hard drives. The default APM settings of these drives are aggressive so as to extend notebook battery life. As a consequence, the HD tries to park its actuator head to the ramp whenever it judges the system as idle. However, OS X or some third-party applications may access the hard disk quite often, resulting in a park/unpark cycle every few seconds.
Every of these cycles is counted as one load/unload cycle. Most notebook drives support up to 600,000 load/unload cycles. If a hard drive parks its head every few seconds, it may shorten its life by "using up" the cycles more quickly.
I had the same problem on my Powerbook with a Hitachi Travelstar 5K160 80GB PATA drive. I heard the frequent clicking sound right after I installed it into the laptop. The SMART status appeared to be Verified, and there was no problem with the drive itself. After searching on Google and Hitachi web site, I found the causes and solved the problem using the Hitachi Feature Tool. For other HD brands, I have no experience at all.
Basically, Travelstar 5K160 drives have three idle modes, from which a user can set one as the deepest idle state:
1) Active Idle: the actuator head is parked near the center of the disk, and power usage is 45-55% less than performance level. Recovery time to active mode is about 20ms.
2) Low Power Idle: this is usually the factory default idle mode. The head is UNLOADED to the ramp and the power consumption is 60-65% less than the performance level. Recovery time is about 300ms.
3) Low RPM idle: in this idle mode, the hard disk will spin down to a lower RPM speed. More power is saved but recovery time is much longer. (I can hear the disk spin down and spin up again a few times per minute. There is also a lag in system reaction time.)
To get rid of the hard disk clicking, you need to set Active Idle as the deepest APM idle mode. To do it on a Hitachi hard disk, you need Hitachi Feature Tool, and a Windows laptop with the same HD interface as your drive (PATA or SATA). Sadly, the feature tool is only for Windows and Linux.
You can download Hitachi Feature Tool 2.10 as an ISO image here: http://www.hitachigst.com/hdd/support/download.htm#FeatureTool and burn it into a bootable CD. The userguide of the tool is available on the same page.
Then, take out your hard drive from your Macbook and install it into a Windows laptop. Boot the machine using the Feature Tool bootable CD. Choose "Change Advanced Power Mode" from the drop-down menu.
The default value is 128 (Low Power Idle). Just increase the value toward Performance, until you see the APM mode over the value bar becomes Active Idle (starting from 192). Click OK and Exit the feature tool. Switch off the Windows laptop and take out the hard disk. Install it into your Macbook. You will not hear the clicking sound again when system is idle. The lowest APM mode will be Active Idle and hence the drive will not park its head to the ramp during operions.
If your hard drive is a Hitachi Travelstar 5K160, you can find the 5K160 specifications version 1.1 from Hitachi web site. On page 69 of the document, it explains the APM idle modes. On page 145 about the register values of the APM modes.
To set Active Idle as the deepest idle mode may adversely affect battery life. (I haven't yet tested it myself) However, there seem not to be a big difference than the Low Power Idle, according to the datasheet of 5K160. For this model, power consumption of Active Idle is 0.8W, while that of Low Power Idle is 0.6W, on average.
Hope this is helpful.

VirtualBox from hard disk, nvidia glx conflict

Howdy folks, I recently started getting into arch linux and set it up for dual booting. Being a graphics engine developer for multiple platforms I began to work on adding support for linux.
What I was trying to set up was so that I can use VirtualBox to load my arch install from hard disk, which I have gotten running, so that I can use virtual box to test if things work when developing simultaneously for windows, and boot over to arch for performance optimization type stuff.
The problem I am having however is that in VirtualBox I can not get the glx extensions to load, looking at the log file it's definitely trying to load the nvidia glx extensions. My PC has an Nvidia Geforce 9600GT, so for proper support in arch I of course installed the drivers for it.
As per suggested in the wiki I removed the xorg.conf (actually just renamed it), along with a few other files in /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d that were causing problems in virtual box (mainly the 20-nvidia.conf file). I have verified it does boot into arch with full 3D support as it did when the xorg.conf was in place. But still having the problems getting the glx extension to load when inside VirtualBox.
I would greatly appreciate any help ya'll can provide, being able to load my arch install from virtual box would make developing this graphics engine of mine so much easier. But I still want to be able to boot into arch. Having to use a VirtualBox instance booting from a virtual hard disk is a real pain since it add to the places I need to sync up source code.

I think you misunderstood ngoonee. Just trying to get open gl working from within virtual box, I know it's only serving as a layer over the graphics stuff.
The problem however is that to allow gpu acceleration when I boot into it, the nvidia driver will need to remain there. But it appears the glx in the nvidia driver will not play nice with what virtual box needs.
Idea is to use the same arch install for both virtual box and the dual boot.

Copy a file from hard disk to a jar

Is there any way to copy a file from hard disk to a jar file?

Edited by: hajani on Dec 7, 2008 4:11 AMIf you really do mean 'jar' file an not 'zip' or 'rar' then you can use class java.util.jar.JarFile and write your own code. If you don't feel like writing a load of code then and you can guarantee that the 'jar' executable is going to be available then you could use Runtime.exec() or it's cousin ProcessBuilder. If you mean a 'zip' file then you could use class java.util.zip.ZipFile and write a load of code. If you mean a 'rar' file then you will either have to find a 'rar' class library or again use Runtime.exec().

How to transfer video from hard disk to i tune?

Drag it into the open iTunes application window. You may need to use a product such as MPEG Streamclip to convert it to MPEG-4 first.

Adding music folder from hard disk to itunes causes the original music to vanish

what is causing itunes to delete original music folder from hard disk when selecting add folder to itunes

iTunes doesn't have any automatic way of re-creating your directory structure in terms of folders and playlists in iTunes. You will have to drag each music folder to a playlist and then arrange these in folders inside of iTunes (which I warn you can can slow down iTunes a lot). I guess the once chance of speeding this up will be if somebody has written an Applescript to do it, but I don't remeber seeing any anywhere.

Use previous "Delete from hard disk" checked state?

Is there any way for the program to use the previous "Also delete selected item(s) from the hard disk" checked state in the file deletion confirmation dialog? It gets tedious to check it every time I want to delete a file and if I forget to do it I will have an extra file sitting on my hard disk not in my catalog.

A quick shortcut that I use is to hit the spacebar (checks/unchecks the "delete from
hard disk" option), then hit the enter key to complete the process.

I have limited storage laptop, I want to delete music from hard-disk

I have a limited storage laptop, I want to delete music from hard-disk and just leave it on my 60Gb ipod, BUT I dont want to have to log in as a guest every time.
Any suggestions

Follow the instructions in this article and then delete the songs from your computer; they will not be deleted from the iPod automatically. You should have or make another copy of the songs before deleting them from the computer, as they can easily be lost if they are only on the iPod.

Cannot delete files from hard disk (after deleting from playlists)!

all of a sudden itunes stopped allowing me to automatically delete (with the warning) a downloaded podcast so I would have to go to the hard disk manually to delte the posdcast.
How do I get the system back to what it was where I delete a podcast and then get the warning and say ok to delete from hard disk?
TIA!

Hi Chris:
2 part response:
I founf the problem--somehow my itunes folder was moved to a different part of my hard drive--once I moved it back I can delete.
I can delete as follows: when I right click and click on delete, I first delete the file from itunes library--then I get prompted if I want to delete from my hard disk by sending file to recycle bin--There is also a prompt if I do not want to see the warning--which I have on as a safety precaution. So I bet the default could remove from playlist and send file to recycle bin in one move.

Godane's Archlinux boot from hard disk but it can't login in with slim

I download Godane's archiso-live-2009-09-24.iso , i havent cdrom , so i boot it from hard disk .
I extract iso to drive C: (fat32) ,two folder is "boot" "archiso-live"
my menu.lst is :
title Boot archiso-live Desktop
root (hd0,0)
find --set-root /boot/initrd.img
kernel /boot/vmlinuz elevator=deadline ramdisk_size=60% aufs nonfree=no vga=791
initrd /boot/initrd.img
load=overlay.lzm
The iso can be boot from hd ,but there isnt slim . only is console...
what can i do with this problem??

I think your problem is that load=overlay.lzm is in the wrong place.
Here is what i should look like:
title Boot archiso-live Desktop
root (hd0,0)
kernel /archiso-stable/boot/vmlinuz elevator=deadline lang=en_US keyb=us load=overlay,mesa usbdelay=5 nonfree=no xdisplay=old xdriver=no from=/dev/sda3/archiso-stable changes=/dev/sda3/changes session=xfce cdname=archiso-live
initrd /archiso-stable/boot/initrd.img
I use 'from' boot option so i can boot from my hard drive more easier. The way its booted above is for 2009-12-08 version of my archiso-live. Just thought you should know.
I hope this helps. And sorry for it being so late.
