In a bit of a mess

This problem has been caused by me and is doing my head in.
I will try to keep this as short as possible.
I have itunes on my laptop which was filling up with 600 albums so i decided to buy an external hard drive to transfer the songs and free up space.
In my stupidity i just thought that i could put the whole of itunes and all its files on the hard drive. Big mistake.
To cut a long story short after much mucking about and doing some googling i have managed to get itunes back on the laptop and have the music folder on the ext drive and have it pointed to under preferences.
All my albums show in my itunes library but all have an exclamation mark next to them and wont play.
Also my ipod classic seems to sync but 6 albums i have downloaded int the last couple of days wont transfer to my ipod???(also these 6 have not got exclamation marks next to them)
What the **** have i done and what can i do??
This is driving me mental
Thanks

After this sorry tale, it is hard to tell exactly went wrong.
The simplest option is to start an new library, but this loses all counts, ratings and play lists.
Firstly I understand you have all your music files on your external drive in a music folder. There needs to be one "header" folder that contains all the folders with your music files.
Secondly I think you have your iTunes folder containing the library files on your c: drive in the music folder.
So...
Close iTunes, then drag iTunes Library.itl and iTunes Music library.xml out of the iTunes folder to the desk top.
Open iTunes and a new empty library will be created.
Go to Edit>>Preferences>>Advanced and ensure that the location of your iTunes Music folder is set to the folder containing your music on the external drive.
Use File>>Add Folder to Library... to add the above folder to iTunes.
Note that if you ever start iTunes with the external drive unplugged, iTunes will default back to the internal drive and you will have to reset the location of the iTunes Music folder in Preferences.

I seem to have got myself into a bit of a mess.....

My C: drive has recently reached 100% capacity so I have purchased an external HDD to keep my music on. Rather stupidly, without thinking about it first, I simply copied all of my music on to the new H: external drive and then deleted the iTunes file out of C: to free up space. I have purchased an album today and it has become clear that all of my music has (I realise now, quite obviously) has disappeared from iTunes. I have tried going into Edit-Preferences-Advanced-Change and then pointing iTunes towards the H: drive but it doesn't work...
Any ideas please?

Resetting the location of the iTunes Music folder in the iTunes preferences, by itself, only sets where future purchases and imports go. In and of itself it won't reset where iTunes looks for tracks already in the iTunes library. You need to use the Add Folder to Library command and select the folder on your H: drive. That should get your content back into iTunes, though you'll have lost your playlists, ratings, playcounts, etc.

Messed up albums: anyone else seeing this?

Hi all,
I've been living with this problem for a long time but never posted anything about it. Now I'm curious if anyone else is seeing it. Here's the bug report I sent in this week:
Hi. I'm posting about a bug that I've been having for a long time that seems to be getting worse. It's nothing critical but it's quite annoying, especially with a client by your side - which is what happened yesterday.When creating albums, Aperture will randomly show multiple copies of certain pictures. Aside from being extremely distracting visually, it even goes so far as to count the duplicates. For instance right now I'm looking at a client's selects album containing 5 pictures, but it's displaying (and counting) 16!!! Selecting becomes completely messed up, highlighting some duplicates and not others and not releasing the selection for all pictures when clicking outside a picture box. Restarting the app or the machine changes nothing. Right now I'm looking at three albums I just created and two of them exhibit the problem even though they were all created exactly the same way. I have a 4 x 6 album where one picture is duplicated 7 times and the others 3 or 4. It's a bit of a mess.
Here's a screenshot of a MobileMe gallery (of my kids) that's exhibiting the problem:
http://www.diode.tv/aperturebug/duplicate_bug.jpg
I've highlighted some of the duplicates but there are more if you look closely.
Am I the only one with this problem? I'd love to know so I can track this one down.
Thanks

Jade-
No, I have not seen this problem (OS 10.4.11, Aperture 2.1.1) but I do feel your pain. When an app misbehaves in front of a client it reflects on our professionalism, and that s*cks.
I am not suggesting that something similar is your specific problem here, but 10.5 initially caused all kinds of issues with Adobe CS3, and CS4 has quite a few issues of its own. When everything is working well I tend not to immediately accept new app or OS updates because different parts of the package (multiple OS components and multiple apps) so often have not yet been fully tested together, making updates much like public betas.
In the event that this malfunctioning presages something really bad going on with Aperture I would take care to make sure that backups are in order, but without writing over any existing backup Libraries in the event that the current Library is hosed.
After everything is as ready for catastrophe as it can be,
• Repair Permissions via Disk Utility
• Do a Software Update
• Again repair Permissions via Disk Utility
• Rebuild the Library and see what happens.
Good luck!

Linked List mess

Hello,
I think I've gotten myself into a bit of a mess.
I create a Linked List containing many strings. I do this for 10 separate tabs. I then want to combine Linked Lists into something else like a LinkedList again so I can then write that one combined list to a file. Something like an array but instead it takes in LinkedLists.
The container of the 10 linked lists will never have more than 10 but will always have 10. If one of the tabs is not enabled I place a filler in for it. This is my code and it is throwing me a null pointer exception and I am sure it is because I initialize CETotalCover to null but I don't know how else I could initialize it. That leads me to believe this is probably not the right choice for what I am doing.
LinkedList<String>[] CETotalCover = null;
LinkedList<String> noCover = new LinkedList();
noCover.add("***");
CEArray CEData = new CEArray();
if (_Dailycover.isEnabled()){
     CETotalCover[0] = CEData.toLayer(_Dailycover.getRowData());
else{
     CETotalCover[0] = noCover;
}What would be the best way to do this? Sorry I'm new to Java and haven't had much experience with trying to make a list of lists.

Correct, you never created an array object to store your lists in, so when you tried to access the first element it blew up. In order to fix that, you need to actually create the array. Unfortunately, generics and arrays do not play nicely together. Use an ArrayList instead.

SBS2011 Std redirected folders mess

Hi all
I have found a bit of a mess on a new customer site. Redirected folders in the sbs2011 std environment were not setup using the SBS console and have been implemented by use of a manually created GPO. Trouble is everyone now
to have full access to each others folders on the server as their folders are inheriting permissions from the top level folder - not good.
The sbs "redirected folders" directory does exist (on the system drive) with all the directories for each user with the correct permissions yet it is not being used yet folder redirection has not been enabled in the console
I need to correct this so the redirected folders are on the data drive, with the correct permissions, and no loss of data.
Is my best option to turn off folder redirection forcing users back to having local data then re enabling it the correct way? This will be a proper pain as there is 45 users ~40Gig of data involved.
Any ideas?
Thanks
Mark

Hi Mark,
Based on your description, I understand that you manually configure folder redirection via group policy (no
using Redirect folders for user accounts to the server) on SBS 2011 Standard. However, there seems that have some permission issues. If anything I misunderstand, please don’t hesitate to let me know.
Please refer to following article and check if help you to correct permission configurations.
Folder Redirection
If you want to remove Folder Redirection policy, there will be two options:
Leave the folder in the new location when policy is removed or Redirect the folder back to the local userprofile location when policy is removed. It will depend on your requirements.
If any update, please feel free to let me know.
Hope this helps.
Best regards,
Justin Gu

Bit of layers confusion with drop down menu

Hi guys.
I have been teaching myself web design for about 4 months,
and am still pretty clueless about a frightening amount of stuff.
I am really in a bit of a mess and am hoping someone can help
me out it.
I am doing a web site that needs to have a tabbed drop-down
menu running along the bottom of the banner.
I started doing this using some HTML and CSS code I found
online, but ended up having problems with displaying correctly in
IE. So I have scrapped it in favour of doing one in flash.
The only thing is, directly below the banner, I have a div
that contains image links. When my drop downs, expand they will go
well ontop of the area containing the image links. So my question
is , does the flash drop down's page size automatically have to be
big enough to contain the menu when expanded, or is it possible to
have the flash page size expand according to whether the menu is
expanding or not, so that there is still clickable access to the
link images underneath,when the menu is not expanded.?
Sorry if this is a very convoluted explanation. If someone
understands what I am trying to achieve and help me find any way to
make it happen, I would be hugely grateful, as I have a client who
is blown away by the design, and i dont wanna sour the relationship
by being unable to sort out this functionality.
Thanks for taking the time to read this.

I happen to have the same problem. However I cannot find the two files in step two:
2.
Trash the following two files in the Macintosh HD > Library > Caches folder:
* com.apple.LaunchServices-0140.csstore
* com.apple.LaunchServices-014nnn.csstore
I did input my UID number as you are told to do so in the instructions. The only I can find is the one in step six a:
6.
Verify that the problem is solved. If not:
1. Trash the com.apple.LaunchServices.plist file in the Home > Library > Preferences folder of the affected account. See Note [3].
Is there a reason as to why I cannot find those files? Oh and I did delete it; all it did was reset the file associations.
Thank you for taking the time to read this post. May your loins be blessed with fertility.

Photoshop Elements 4 - Changing Colour Resolution to 8 bits unnecessarily

January 2010. Having just bought Adobe Photoshop Elements 4.0 for Windows XP, I am experiencing major problems when launching the program - it changes the colour resolution from 32 bit to 8 bit. This messes up all the colours and the desktop goes black then blue/green and the whole screen is wrong. No way can I resolve this problem - have tried re-installing, etc. etc..
What is wrong ??

On a 16-bit or 24-bit monitor, they will look photographic.
They have been saved at 'Medium' compression and are slightly smaller in file size than the following GIFs.
JPEG is the correct format to use for such photographic images as they will look better and have a smaller file size. The only reasons to use GIFs for such images are if you need transparency (for irregular shapes) or if they are animated.
This set of images has been saved as GIFs using the '6x6x6' Web-safe palette. If you are using 8-bit GIFs and map them all to this palette, there will be no surprises on Mac or PC screens running in 8-bit mode. buy r4i

Unable to push user profiles to AD groups with Profile Manager since upgrade to Server v3

Since upgrading our OS X Mac server from 10.8.5 to 10.9.1, and OS X Server app to v3 (now 3.0.2) I have been unable to push or modify user profiles to AD groups (or AD users) using Profile Manager. This was working fine on OS X 10.8.5. Pushing device profiles is still working OK after the upgrade.
From what I can see from the logs on the client side and server side, it seems related to a problem with the mdm authtoken.
In the client console I can see this entry:
27/01/14 14:30:15.844 mdmclient[38557]: *** ERROR *** [Agent:636102071] Unable to proceed with connection to: https://ourserver.ourdomain/devicemanagement/api/device/mdm_connect (com.apple.mdmconfig.mdm) because don't have valid MDM AuthToken
On the server, in the php.log I can see the corresponding attempt to authenticate:

So I can see there is a failure to authenticate, but don't really know how to troubleshoot this further. Or maybe this is just a bug in the new server app?
I have tried to remove and re-enroll clients in Profile Manager but no joy there.
In the client's Keychain I can see an MDM user AuthToken linked to the correct user account.
Thanks in advance for any help or suggestions

I just wanted to update my post, as this issue for me is resolved.
I uninstalled and reinstalled the Server.app on our Mac server, since then I've been able to push profiles to AD Users and Groups. I guess that in my case the Server app got into a bit of a mess when it was upgraded to v3.
Now the next headache I have is that my AD Groups which are displayed in Profile Manager are not syncing any recent changes. I think I'm probably seeing the same issue as described in this post

Home sharing not working in iOS 6

Using ipad 3. I've tried everything including rebooting and resetting my settings and Apple ID. Cannot get it to work, it recognizes that a home shared library is available but will not download it, get "cannot turn on home sharing" in music and just stalls with a 2/3 shadowed circle in videos. Yet, all works fine on the iPhone 4's, iPad 2 and iPad 1 on same wifi network.
I've had no problem to my knowledge with wifi.
There are a few other issues too, but I'm hoping Apple will have a quick solution for all???

Mate,
I have more or less the same problem. Trouble is I updated both my iPhone 4 and the iPad 3 to IOS 6 (wish I'd only done one of them). Basically, both initially had trouble getting into the home sharing on my iTunes. Seems to work after a couple of goes or killing the music app and relaunching. But doing some strange things once running. Same as you, the artists tab is not correct, it pulls a few of them in but I'd say 90% are missing! Playlists and songs seem ok. iPad 3 prob behaves worse than the iPhone 4, sometimes you see the music tracks when in a playlist changing at the top like (hard to explain) but killing the music app and relaunching tends to fix this.
And don't get me started on the videos home sharing. So hit and miss with the album artwork, sometimes they show correctly but often there are lots of incorrect ones and random stuff shown. In my TV shows shared library it even came up on the iPad with album artwork for some of my songs. Bizarre.
So I think IOS 6 has made a bit of a mess of home sharing. Going in the opposite direction and using the 'remote app' to browse my iTunes library seems to display normally.
Bit dissapointed with IOS 6. No more streetview in maps, erratic home sharing. Seems more of a downgrade than an upgrade to me. I know Apple are very big on new features etc but I'd rather see them trying to fix the bugs on their exisiting features than doing this. I mean did we really need an IOS 6? IOS 5 seemed to be ticking along ok, bugs still existed so why not focus on these.
Cheers

I can't get my Button to work?

Hello everyone,
I been trying to get my Button working, but I don't understand what's wrong. I've tried a bunch of stuff, each with failure. Can any of you guys help me out here? I know that it's a little bit of a mess, but for some reason, it gives me a NullPointerException when I execute it. If I comment out 4 lines of code, about the getContentPane, it works without making a button. Problem is, I want to keep the Button in there. What should I do?
Thanks

1) Swing related questions should be posted in the Swing forum
2) Use the "code" formatting tags when posting code so the code is readable.
3) Post [url http://www.physci.org/codes/sscce.jsp]Simple, Executable Sample that shows your problem. The code you posted uses non-standard API's so we can't execute your code to see the incorrect behaviour.
4) Read the Swing tutorial on [url http://java.sun.com/docs/books/tutorial/uiswing/components/button.html]How to Use Buttons. Or maybe the section on "How to Use Layout Managers" will solve your problem. Either way read the tutorial.

Time Machine doesn't open backup screen

I have problems opening the time machine backups.
I use both a TC and a Synology disk station with TM, both seem to run well and TM makes backups every hour. No errors are reported and TM shows new backups are made successfully.
However when I try to open TM it stalls. Normally you get the "purple space background" layering your backups in time. I now only get one finder screen, the background goes black.....and then nothing.
I somehow hoped it would go away with Yosemite, but it stayed.
Who can help?

Question: If you make a new back-up and open it, could it also take a (very long) while to open as it is indexing? Or is "indexing" something it only does when using older bach-up sets after problems/ new setup?
The new backup should open practically instantly. You have no history and a clean simple new backup should be index and checked as part of making it.
Second thing I now remember is the problems started after using the TC back-up after a HD crash. My internal HD failed and I used the TC back-up to restore; with perfect result. But that probably has been the moment, TM wasn't functioning.
Yes, I think this is where the problem comes from. And you are now in a bit of a mess.. if you upgraded to Yosemite.. then whatever problems were there are multiplied. You cannot go backwards. So I think you might need to look at something major.
You cannot reinstall TM.. it is integrated into the OS. You really do need to do a clean install and import (using migrate your apps and files).
Before doing that I would use a software like Carbon Copy Cloner to make a bootable clone of your existing disk. And boot from it to check it is working.
Do a verify of the current install.. you will need to do this by booting to recovery area.. run disk utility and/or hardware tests.
OS X: About OS X Recovery - Apple Support
Using Apple Hardware Test - Apple Support
In the end.. using CCC is a good replacement to TM.. it is simpler and seems to not get as messed up.. so you can continue using the install as is, but with CCC as your backup.. at the same time I think it is good to be planning for a completely clean install.. painful as that is.. and you will not be able to recover .. you can migrate your personal files.. but it would be best to reinstall the applications..
Sorry I had a drop out on my internet.. adsl and it is raining.. so it all goes to pot.
Double post and I cannot fix the top one.

[SOLVED] [mpv] Fallback to software decode SLOW with vo_vdpau/vaapi

EDIT 02/01/2014: Since mpv 0.3.0, the opengl renderer, which works perfectly fine with software-decoding, now also works with vaapi/vdpau hardware-decoding, so just setting vo=opengl and hwdec=auto should really be enough to utterly avoid the problems I was having back when I made this post. A lot of the "info" I gave later on in the thread is also actually bogus, I'll tweak that in a second.
I've been reading the documentation for mpv, and there's something I can't quite figure out.
My CPU isn't especially powerful, so it's important for me to be able to use hardware acceleration where possible. I'm using the proprietary ATI driver; VLC works fine with VA-API, and since I discovered libvdpau-va-gl I've been able to get mpv to work using VDPAU. Obviously, some files (*cough*, Hi10P, *cough*) can't be hardware-accelerated, and this is where my problem/question comes in.
In my mpv config file, with
vo=vdpau
I'm able to play normal h.264 video effortlessly, but when HWaccel isn't available mpv falls back to software-decoding and software scaling (ffmpeg/swscaler, as per the console output). The problem is, with the CPU already working to decode the Hi10P content, my A-V desync skyrockets, and it's all a bit of a mess.
If I play the same Hi10P file with
vo=opengl
, then it doesn't desync at all. I checked the manpage and it says I can concatenate possible video outputs with a comma, and it will try each in turn. Obviously I'd like the not-hardware-decodable content to be rendered using OpenGL, rather than whatever causes them to get fed to "swscaler". So I set the config line to
vo=vdpau,opengl
. However - the opengl option never gets used! The non-HW-decodable files still end up being fed to swscaler, and as a result desync wildly, unless I manually set to opengl for that file.
Is someone here familiar enough with mpv to be able to explain why I might not be getting the behaviour I expect from listing multiple video outputs in the config file; or even better, how I can configure mpv to do what I actually want?
If there's somewhere else I should be asking this, please let me know. I couldn't find a dedicated mpv forum or anything (or even an IRC channel for questions), but I could have missed something.
Addition: Here are some console outputs.
1) Playing an 8-bit h.264 file with vo=vdpau, works fine

So, I had a nice long conversation last night with some of the devs on the IRC channel (that I didn't find first-time-round somehow). I'll summarise this in bullet points:
>I'm using an ATI card with the proprietary driver
>I'm exposing VDPAU via a library that uses VA-API underneath
>the vo_vdpau mode for mpv continues to handle file playback even if the vdpau hardware decoder won't initialise
>>i.e. vdpau itself calls the software decoder, and then handles the calls to a software renderer
>because I'm using VDPAU in an indirect "wheels within wheels" library, it's slow as all hell
Solution:
UPDATE: READ THE POST BELOW, A BETTER SOLUTION HAS BEEN IMPLEMENTED
>mpv-git has native VA-API support, vo_vaapi
>compiling and using this works perfectly
>the vaapi handler is able to much more efficiently handle the calls to software decoders/renderers
>8bit h.264 files play fullspeed using hardware decoding
>10bit h.264 files are automatically handed to software-decoding, and play (almost!) as well as they should (i.e. when directly calling vo_opengl or vo_xv)
Note that it's still a little slower than using opengl or xv, which is kind of odd. wm4 on IRC mentioned he might be able to do something about this, by implementing the (hackish, apparently) thing that VLC does, so that vo_vaapi doesn't have to use swscale (slow) before rendering; but I'll wait and see if that pans out.
TL;DR - People using the proprietary ATI driver should compile mpv-git and and use vo=vaapi
@Roberth: I actually did have that enabled, but whether it was or wasn't enabled didn't affect the problem I was having. After all, the problem was with vo_vdpau calling software decoding in an inefficient, roundabout way. vo_vaapi still isn't as efficient at this as it should be, it seems, but it's better than vo_vdpau was on my setup.
@kaszak696: As far as I was aware, sws=0 was the default behaviour, but I do recall forcing that at one point with no effect. Either way, my particular problem is solved/worked around now! Well, almost.

Help with multiple users in iTunes

Dear all
I seem to have made a right mess of iTunes. It all started with my 80gb Classic ipod and iTunes on my Toshiba Windows 8 laptop. All was fine then my daughter got an iPod touch and I think here was where I made my first mistake. I setup a new iTunes account and used my wifes email address as her Apple ID. Again all was well because we also have Windows 7 laptop in the house.
Next my daughter got an iphone 4s so the ipod was given to us and I added it to my iTunes account in devices. This seemed to be ok and all was well again. My wife then also bought an iphone 4s and this is where I think I made my next mistake. I had to get my daughter to change her apple ID so that my wife could have her old email address back but this seemed to be ok. Are you still with me
Last night my daughter decided to buy an album on iTunes on her phone but iTunes began asking her for the answers to security questions. We are certain that we didnt setup any security questions & answers so were mystified. I logged into iTunes and it defaulted to my wifes account but it was showing the voucher and it was showing the ipod touch in devices. I signed out then back into my daughters account and it was still showing the voucher but still showing the ipod touch in devices. I went ahead and clicked buy album of my daughters choice and it immediately began to download to her iphone.
So im in a bit of a mess as you can see if you have been kind enough to read this far. I dont know what to do except somebody suggested just having one account but the problem is with icloud as my wife & daughter will want some privacy and if we are all on the same ID everyone sees the same thing ?
Help !!

Yes, that's the usual advice - everyone use the one itunes account and each user has his/her own icloud account.

I created 2 iCloud accounts but I would like to remove my old one from my apple ID in order to add my new one

I have had the same apple ID for years but I had to change my emails around including my iCloud, I wasn't entirely sure how to do this at first so I just set up a new apple ID with the new iCloud email address that I wanted. When I realised how difficult it was going to be to transfer my data onto the new account, I decided to stick with my old apple ID but change the email. The only issue is it is associated with the iCloud/Me email addresses that I no longer wish to use. Is there anyway to remove them from my current account and use my newest iCloud email address instead? Or at the very least create another one to link to my original apple ID? Sorry if this is a bit of a mess, I've been trying for hours and I'm so confused...

I have this problem also. If you get an answer will you please share it with me. Thanks

How to organise the library best for workflows?

I need some help to set up my library propperly. I'm using Aperture for a year now and the organisation of my first major project was a bit of a mess and I lost control. I had a folder as top level, then a Project (box) containing folders and smart folders. I wanted to work with keywords only but that didn't work out.
Now I have an even more complex project and I want to go back to a workflow based structure. But it seems that the boxes, folders and albums aren't quite designed for this kind of organisation. This is what I actually want to do:
– Top level Project name e.g. Seasons
– Sub-projects /divisions e.g. Spring, Summer, Autumn, Winter (note that a photo can only be in one category)
– Workflow sections where photos are moved according to their state of progress, e.g. Import, Editing, Review, Published (again a photo can only be/show in one location)
This is how I would have liked to do it:
1. A folder or box as top level called Seasons
2. Four boxes or albums as sub-divisions for the seasons
3. Give every step of the workflow an album or folder (like sections to move through)
Now this is the obstacle I'm facing:
1. I can't put boxes in boxes
2. I can't put photos in folders
3. I can't move photos from one album to another (they need to be deleted separately in the old folder)
I have read about how these elements are designed in the other threads. But I havent yet found a way how to use them the best way for my purpose. The best thing I can think of at the moment is to use folders in the top two levels and boxes for the workflow.
Is there anyone who tried to organise a project like this before?

Hi,
of course you have to find your own way.
I just recommend (I first did something similar to what you plan to do, so who am I, to tell that you shouldn't),
to start not with Folders as the top level organizer.
In my opinion you have to think not of files but of pictures.
So the pictures are organized in PROJECTS and are always ORIGINALS because it is different to Bridge or LR
not files that you are working with (it takes a while to think this over, I guess).
So the pictures are now organized inside these folders into ALBUMS with different "workflow states" like
the originals ( I would name them more: base-pictures or shooting or whatever)
You pick your stars from 1 to 5 (and 9 to delete) to create kind of a choice from the shoot.
Out of your choice you create an album for your EDITS and immediatly delete those pictures from the SHOOT-ALBUM ( they are still chosen and still you can make them visible via cmd/F and choose all pictures with 1 star and more- go to PICTURES-DELETE FROM ALBUM).
So now you have every picture only one time inside your PROJECT and still only one time in only one ALBUM.
Now you feel free to create some intelligent albums if you need, for checking which ones were taken to a lab for printing or send via email or whatever. For me personally these intelligent albums don't work but this depends on the workflow and your clients.
The advantage is in my case, I export PROJECTS as so called MEDIATHEK (another AP LIBRARY) to an
Ext HD, so I have all the adjustments and the order, in case AP starts to work not as I want it ( I had these
issues a few times in the past and had, what is discussed in this forum as well, thousands of pictures two, and more times without knowing what I did wrong after repairing ).
Hope this helps
Uwe
