Importing with flash drive from windows xp computer?

Have a xp that the music was managed from old verision accout. using a flashdrive i copied wma files. and cant transport to itunes.
also having same problem with avi file and imovie.

WMA can be played with iTunes on a PC but not on a Mac. Other applications such as VLC and Cog can play WMA on a Mac, or you can convert the files to mp3 or other iTunes-compatible format. DRM protected WMA cannot be converted and can only be played on a PC.
AVI is a again very Windows-oriented movie format. Adding Perian to your system makes it more playable, though I am not sure about doing so in iMovie. Alternatively you can play it easily with VLC.
[VLC media player|http://www.videolan.org/vlc> - general media player that plays just about anything.

    How was the flash drive encrypted, that is, with what system or software?

  • Is there a way to protect a USB flash drive from virus?

    My daughter's school computer lab is seemingly infected with some PC virus but their school IT folks seem to be unable to clean them and with all the young kids using USB flash drives they brought these viruses home when they plug the flash drive into our home computer but luckily since we are using Mac at home and I have ClamXav installed it detected the virus immediately. So we are kind of safe but I am getting tired of removing this same virus every week using UNIX command in a terminal mode, as it's locked and can only removed using the sudo command (taught by some people). My questions are:
    1. Is there any way to protect a USB flash drive from virus infection (it's a window PC virus)
    2. is there a way or suggestion on how to stop these apart from dis-infecting the whole school computers? The problems are that these young kids are not aware of those viruses in their USB flash drives and their teachers are just too ignorant about it!
    Thanks for any suggestions and help

    I'd still invest in your case into Mac protection against passing along malware.
    Take a look at Intego AV for one for the Mac and for dual-protection.
    http://www.intego.com
    Whatever you are finding is 'dormant' I assume, but that doesn't mean it can't become active or passed along either. And there are some 'man in the middle' spyware and malware, some which target online home banking (some people run their home banking from a virtual OS that is used for that purpose only, I always wished Mac OS X could be run in a VM mode as well).
    The IT folks sound like they need... do their jobs properly and better.
    I don't care how young they are, or the staff's ignorance. Time for education is now.
    Download and install Microsoft Security Essentials in Windows and follow guidelines. And there are tons of FAQs, guidelines and articles on the subject.

  • I'm moving an internal hard drive from an old computer to a new computer.  How do I transfer the catalog data to my new computer so the Organizer of Photoshop Elements 6 will find the data on the hard that has been moved to the new computer?

    I'm moving an internal hard drive from an old computer to a new computer.  (My new compute runs Windows 8.1) How do I transfer the catalog data to my new computer so the Organizer of Photoshop Elements 6 will find the data on the hard that has been moved to the new computer?  Is this possible or do I have to use the procedure of copying the catalog along with the photos to a back up hard drive and then restore them on the new computer?

    The 'normal' procedure is to do a PSE organizer backup (not a copy or a backup from external tools) to an external drive, then a restore to the new location.
    The advantage is that you have a backup of both catalog and media files and you don't have all disconnected files, which would happen with external backup tools. Also, if you restore with a more recent elements version, the catalog will be automatically updated to the new format.
    The drawback in your situation is that you'll have either to overwrite all your files or restore to a custom location, creating a duplicate photo library (which supposes you have enough free space).
    It would be possible to simply use the organizer in the old PC to move the catalog to a new 'custom' folder just under your C: root drive. The catalog would be accessible once the drive will be installed in the new PC. Then you would have all files 'disconnected' due to the fact that all your media files are now on a drive with a different letter. Reconnecting a whole library is a hard job with PSE6, less so with PSE11/PSE12.
    If the idea of fiddling with the sqlite database with external sqlite manager tools is ok for you, I can describe the process more in detail. You only copy your catalog folder (as suggested above) to another location. Instead of trying the 'reconnection' way, you install the sqlite utility on the new computer. When the old drive is installed in the new computer, you simply edit a given record in the catalog database, catalog.psedb, and start the organizer with your copied catalog by simply double clicking the 'catalog.psedb' file.
    Even if the last solution is much, much quicker, I would still create a new PSE backup : you have never too much safety .

  • Mount a USB flash drive from a shell

    I am about six months new to Linux; I have installed my first arch system but not yet installed a desktop environment.  I am trying to mount a USB flash drive from the shell but I am not having much luck.  I have tried following the instructions in the archwiki, http://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/USB_Storage_Devices. I am having a problem with the following command:
    mount -t vfat /dev/sda1 /mnt/usbstick
    I get an error message saying that the mount point does not exist.  I have in the /mnt directory the following:
    cd cdrom dvd fd0 f1
    (I am not sure what fd0 and fl are, if somebody could please tell me I would appreciate it.  Also I do not have a DVD-ROM on my computer is the dvd listed by default or do I have a package installed I do not need?)  I did some searching online and came across the following site, http://linuxcommando.blogspot.com/2007/ … -from.html. I followed the instructions to identify the correct partition name corresponding to the USB drive by running the following command:
    grep SCSI /var/log/messages.log
    and I get the following results:
    Dec 30 22:16:17 morgan-desktop scsi2 : SCSI emulation for USB Mass Storage divices
    Dec 30 22:16:22 morgan-desktop sd 2:0:0:0: [sdb] Attached SCSI removable disk
    The next steps in the instructions are to mount the partition to the existing mount point (directory) by using the following command.
    mkdir -p /mnt/myusb
    mount -t vfat -o rw,users /dev/sda1 /mnt/myusb
    This is where I am having a problem, I do not understand the results and how to proceed to the next step, please help me.
    One other small question what is the best command to shut down the computer as a normal user?
    Thank you
    Morgan Smith

    Ok, Lots of different advice here, let's see if I can explain it all together, and clear up a few bits...
    I'll try to explain why I'm saying what I am, it doesn't matter if you don't follow it all, commands are below.
    You are on the right lines here, but a few things missing.  Firstly, to mount the USB stick you are using the correct command, but the locations are a problem.  The command is "mount -t type what/to/mount where/to/mount".   You can find out more about the mount command with "mount --help" or "man mount"
    You have correctly identified type as vfat - this means the pen is formated as FAT.
    To find out what to mount, you can check /var/log/messages.log, the second command you posted searches trough that file and prints out lines including the phrase SCSI, and the result tells you that a usb storage device had been attached as sdb, so the correct device is /dev/sdb1.  Storage devices are named sda sdb sdc etc in the order they are attached, and the numbers refer to the partitions on the disk.
    You can mount it anywhere you want, as any existing directory, but the one you tried to use /mnt/usbstick doesn't exist, so create it, using mkdir.
    The commands you need therefore are:
    mkdir /mnt/usbstick
    mount -t vfat /dev/sdb1 /mnt/usbstick
    This will work as root.  There is also, as byte said, a program called pmount (which you can get with pacman -S pmount) which works the same way for a standard user.
    Finally, there are also a number of tools like HAL which can be used to automate the process.
    As for shutting down, as has been said you must be root or in the power group, then you can use 'halt' 'poweroff' 'reboot' or 'shutdown'. All have slightly different effects, and poweroff is probably the easiest.
    Hope this helps

  • Can I bring files from a NTFS formatted external hard drive (from Windows XP 32 bit desktop) to my new macbook pro retina?

    Can I bring files from a NTFS formatted external hard drive (from Windows XP 32 bit desktop) to my new macbook pro retina?

    What are these files you are trying to copy over?
    If they are program specific and there is no program on a Mac to read them then you'll have to find either a Mac version of that program or one that does the same thing and can read those files.
    The file extension should not change just because you connect a NTFS formatted drive to a Mac computer. A Word Document is still a .doc/.docx ad the same for all other office type programs. Music files with an extension of .MP3, or whatever, should read the same on both system. Same goes for all other files like images with a .JPG extension.
    Yes I would network them.
    I would not use Migration Assistant. There is nothing on your Windows PC that can be used on the Mac other than your personal data files. No programs or settings can be carried over from Windows to OS X.

    Also, when I view the files from the external hard drive, they show up as .nbz and are not recognized by any program on the Mac. Should I just abandon the hard drive option and start sharing files through the LAN approach?

  • Was it a mistake to uninstall Flash Player from Windows 8?

    I have a Lenovo Y580 Laptop with IE10 windows 8.  I was not able to view embedded videos on websites and searched the problem online.  Somewhere I ran in to information about glitches with Flash Player and Windows 8.  I found instructions on how to delete Flash Player files from Windows 8 using a combination of the steps on the websites below.  Now I am able to view embedded videos but I don't understand exactly what I did/whether I will have issues in the future due to deleting Flash.  Now when I type in the search box for Flash Player it shows a Flash Player 32 Bit Flash Settings Manager.  Im confused as to what I deleted and what the cons to this may be as  I am not super computer savvy

  • FAQ: What can I do with Revel on a Windows based computer?

    Q: What can I do with Revel on a Windows based computer?
    A:  You can access your Revel account through a browser on a Windows based computer (or any computer with a web browser).
    Revel clients are currently available for iPad, iPhone and Mac, Android, and Windows 8.
    If you are on the browser version of adoberevel.com, you will notice that it does not offer editing capabilities. If you run Revel this way, you do have some options for editing and getting photos to revel:
    The browser version of revel at adoberevel.com does not provide an editor, however,
    you can edit in Photoshop Elements 11 or Lightroom and upload to Revel from there, use older versions of Photoshop Elements or Photoshop or any other editing program and save the photos to your hard disk and then upload to Revel.  You also have access to the Photoshop.com Photoshop express editor if you are not a user of Elements or another editing program.

    What operating system are you using and version of photoshop elements?

  • Satellite U200-115 - CD Rom error - can't activate the drive from windows

    Hi everyone,
    I'm having some problems with my DVD rewriter drive on my Satellite U200-115.
    It works very intermittently and whenever I power up the machine, the first notice I get is 'cd-rom error' even though there is no disc in the drive.
    I can't activate the drive from windows either (icon in system tray).
    There is the odd occassion when the drive does work in windows but this is so infrequent that I can't remember the last time (I think it was back in Nov 08).
    I want to restore the system as I am getting a lot of windows file icons instead of the proper icons for images e.g. pdf, doc, etc. but am worried that the drive wont read the disc or will stop working during the recovery process.
    Any ideas would be gratefully received.
    Best WIshes
    Nick

    If its a software issue the drive will not stop working during the recovery procedure.
    Do you get a CD-ROM error in Windows?
    You could try to boot from a Linux boot disk. If this work it would be a software problem and not a hardware problem.
    Maybe this article from the Microsoft Knowledge Base can help you:

    How do you save PDF to a USB flash drive from iPad 2

    You can't, the camera kit connection kit which has a USB connection only supports the copying of photos and videos to the Photos app, and doesn't support the copying of any content off the iPad - you will either need to go via your computer.

  • Publishing air apps with native extension with Flash CS6 on Windows

    Hi all,
    is there any trick to publish air apps with Flash CS6 on Windows?
    I tried all native extensions from devnet, but nothing work to me.
    I read on Mac is possibility to specify the iOS SDK folder in publish
    settings, but on Windows it´s missing. 
    Is there anybody who has some experiences with publishing apps
    with native extensions for iOS and Android with windows Flash CS6?
    Thanks for all advices.

    I sympathize. I recently found a native alert for iOS and Android that's working with Flash CS6 on Windows with AIR 3.2.0.2070 but not AIR 3.2.0.2060. You can get the ANE here:
    http://www.jampot.ie/ane/
    Haven't tried the other ones. Let us know if you decide to try them.
    The sample code they have on the page doesn't work with the native alert. Here's the code I created - it's a document class for a .fla that has one dynamic TextField and one Button component on the stage :
