Ipod touch question. Any way to keep my ipod from populating my album list with stuff I bought on itunes even if I don't manually put them on my ipod.

I have my ipod set to sync manually and even when I completely reboot my ipod it always puts on my albums list 20 or so albums I bought on itunes years ago that I don't want on there. It doesn't download them so they won't play unless I click to download them but it's annoying scrolling through your music and having stuff on there you don't listen to and can't get rid of.

Like I said I have my ipod set to sync manually and even with that setting it is still showing some "itunes purchased" albums on my ipod album list. They are not synced though because when you go to play them it shows them as not downloaded.

Any way to keep audiobooks separate from eBooks?

I have an extensive collection of ebooks (formerly in LIT form) that I've been collecting over the years. I also have more than 40 audiobooks from audible. Any way to keep these separate in iTunes? Some are books with the same name (an audio and text version of the same book) and sorting/searching is getting cumbersome.
In particular, sometimes I want to sync a certain audiobook to an iPod (a nano, so syncing the whole collection isn't appropriate), wihle I want to maintain and organize my ebooks on my iPad. Now that they're both in the place in iTunes, it's incredibly annoying.

Start by creating a few Smart Playlists, based on the Media Kind of the entry, like in this screenshot:
At the least you'll create two, one for Audiobooks and one for Books. This will let you look at one or the other in iTunes. You may have others you'd like to create, based on genre, tags you put in the Comments field, etc.
For your device-specific sync settings, iTunes already has separate controls for sync'ing books vs. audiobooks. You shouldn't have any difficulty keeping them separate, but if you do, here again you might find Smart or normal Playlists to be useful. Sync against a playlist, instead of using the Sync All option.

HT201493 Is there any way to remove old locations from the 'Notify Me' list?

I would like to remove old/unused locations from the 'Notify Me' list.... I tried to uninstall and reinstall the app, but the locations still exist on reinstall.

Hi, Phnxbane, and welcome to the Community,
You may certainly remove all profile data by leaving those settings as "blank" or "not specified." I find the easiest way to do this is to open the profile settings from within the Skype "client" software.
Removing/deleting an account name from the Skype search directory closes the account. More details about this can be found here: 'Can I delete my Skype account?'

Any way to keep the dock from moving between dual screens in Mavericks?

As the topic says, with the new dual-monitor functionality that Mavericks brought in, my dock bounces back and forth between screens. This is driving me absolutely nuts. Does anyone know a way to disable it? I cannot seem to find any feature that will shut it off.

I recently switched and was having this issue as well. This list (actual slide 35) helped me understand: http://www.maclife.com/article/gallery/70_mavericks_tips_and_tricks#slide-34
It seems like I was accidentally "bumping" the corresponding edge of the dockless screen and that is what made the dock switch. To what level the "bumping" is that sets it off has not been consistant for me (or hard to tell with a track ball) but if i move quickly to the edge and stay there it switches after a view tries.
*Didn't see how to disable but it helped me realize the cause creating the issue for prevention.

I use my iPad Mini for giving speeches. Is there any way to keep the screen from going to sleep?

Is there any ways to stop Quicktime player from occupying audio hardware?

Hi, my PC system is Window XP Pro SP2, HP xw8400 Workstation w/ 2G Ram. And the PC has a Digidesign Pro Tools HD 1 audio system installed.
My problem is that after Quicktime player lauches, it will occupy the Pro Tools HD's hardware. And if I want to start Pro Tools software, "digidesign hardware is in use by another application." warning will occur and Pro Tools software will then quit. BTW, Digidesign's audio driver is not multi-clients compatible.
I have set Quicktime player's audio playback device to PC motherboard's audio device, and system's audio device is also motherboard's audio device, I even have checked the "use default device only" option. I can't understand why Quicktime player still occupies Digidesign's hardware, even it plays back audio through motherboard's audio device.
Though I can quite Quicktime player before lauching Pro Tools software, I still feel it's annoying and inconvenient, and want to know some ways to solve this problem.
Anyone can help? Thanks in advance. I have asked for help in Digidesign's offcial forum, no response.
BTW, the Quicktime player version on my system is 7.6.5, and each time Quicktime player launches, the sample rate led on the Digidesign's audio interface will flash, indicating that QT player is accessing Digidesign's hardware.

You are missing something simple but lets get it to stop as you want. Go to Settings/General/Bluetooth turn it off.

Any way to keep apps on my ipod touch but not keep copies of them on my PC?

Is there any way to keep apps on my ipod touch but not keep copies of them on my PC? I have space issues on my PC, so I don't want to have to keep copies there. I deleted the apps from my PC, but when I synced my ipod to add some photos, all my apps were deleted from my ipod. Is there any way to be able to just sync photos and music, and not apps? Seems I am able to manually manage music, which allows me to not have to keep my music library stored on my PC, but can't get the photos to sync without the apps syncing too.
Any help here would be greatly appreciated. I'm new at this.
Thanks.

you would be better off to move your iTunes library to an external drive, thus freeing up space on your startup disk. this read will tell you how http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1364.

Is there any way to get my photos FROM my iPod Touch back onto a new hard drive?

My Mac crashed last Friday. First timeIs there any way to get my photos FROM my iPod Touch back into my new hard drive. The iTunes sync only goes one way from the computer to the iPod.
It syncs the photos taken with the iPod (really an old iPhone 3G without phone service) but not the folders which I synced from the old hard drive to the iPod over the past year.

thank you for the tip.
Yes, my computer was backed up. for reasons way too complicated to go into here, these particular folders were not part of the backup.
Thanks again for the help.

Attempt to restore your iOS device two more times. If the issue is still unresolved, the device may need service.
The "device may need service" means a hardware problem. In that case make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store.

Any way to keep files updates within folders?

Hey guys.. I am experimenting with iPhoto, and had a few quick questions.
I just imported a folder, containing the folder structure I use to organize a specific set of pics on my hard drive. They're reference/inspiration shots for my own photography. I was stoked to discover that each folder became an "event".
However my library is "managed", so while they weren't deleted from their location, the shots I am looking at inside of iPhoto are now contained inside the iPhoto Library file. Is that correct?
As I'm always adding files to those folders, and occasionally moving them around manually, my main question I have is concerning whether there's any way to keep those "events" up to date with what files are in the actual folders?
I'm not opposed to having a 2nd REFERENCED library File for this sole purpose.
In a Managed Library:
Is there any way to add a file to a folder manually using the finder, and have iPhoto recognize that it contains a new file and update itself when I view that "event"? Or can I update it manually at least? Like a "refresh".
In a Referenced Library:
- Can I keep the "event" up to date with changes to the referenced folder?
In Either case:
- If I delete/move a file from a folder via the finder, will the "event" be corrupted, or "missing" a file?
- If I delete/move a file a file from an event via iPhoto, will the file be deleted in reality, or just the reference/management of it?
- If I find that some of my iPhoto "events" could be combined into one for ease of navigation:
a) Can I do this? How? b) Will that change the folder structure of my original ile?
Finally,
- If I go with 2 libraries (Managed for personal shots, and Referenced for other peoples shots), how do I switch between libraries? (I'd want the Managed/Personal shots to open upon launch by default.)
Cheers! Thanks in advance!
Ben

You're not quite getting what iPhoto is, what a managed and referenced Libraries are.
iPhoto is a Photo Manager. It replaces the Finder for anything to do with your Photos. It's your go-to app whenever you want to add, delete, view, manage or whatever your photos.
A Managed Library means that iPhoto manages the actual files. They are copied to the Library package on import.
A Referenced Library means that you manage the files. Then import them. After that you never access the files again. It's all done via iPhoto.
So, what you're trying to do - syncing a folder system with an iPhoto Library - is unnecessarily complex. Either use the Finder for your Photo or use iPhoto (or similar apps, like Aperture, Lightroom etc)
However my library is "managed", so while they weren't deleted from their location, the shots I am looking at inside of iPhoto are now contained inside the iPhoto Library file. Is that correct?
Correct.
As I'm always adding files to those folders, and occasionally moving them around manually, my main question I have is concerning whether there's any way to keep those "events" up to date with what files are in the actual folders?
You can do this with Automator, Apple Script or with an app like Hazel: http://www.noodlesoft.com/hazel.php
But... why would you? iPhoto is a photo manager, why are you using the Finder for the job as well. Rather than update those folders, why not just import the updates to iPhoto?
I'm not opposed to having a 2nd REFERENCED library File for this sole purpose.
It would make no difference. All it does is make more work for exactly zero benefit.
In a Referenced Library:
- Can I keep the "event" up to date with changes to the referenced folder?
See above. But remember that every new import means at least one new event, so you'll need to consolidate events after the import.
In Either case:
- If I delete/move a file from a folder via the finder, will the "event" be corrupted, or "missing" a file?
Yes. In a Managed Library you never delete anything via the Finder. That's all done from within the iPhoto Window. (See what I mean about it replacing the Finder?). In a Referenced Library you need to delete the images from iPhoto first. Then you delete them from the folder structure. (See? More work/no benefit)
- If I delete/move a file a file from an event via iPhoto, will the file be deleted in reality, or just the reference/management of it?
In a Managed LIbrary the shot gets moved to the iPhoto trash. Empty that and it's moved to the system trash. Empty that and it's gone. For Referenced see above.
- If I find that some of my iPhoto "events" could be combined into one for ease of navigation:
a) Can I do this? How? b) Will that change the folder structure of my original ile?
You can consolidate Events simply by dragging one to another. You can move photos between event susing Flagging and so on. No, the files on the disk are never moved at all regardless.
Again, the location of the files on the disk makes no difference as you never access them anyway.
For help accessing your photos in iPhoto see this user tip:
https://discussions.apple.com/docs/DOC-4491
If I go with 2 libraries (Managed for personal shots, and Referenced for other peoples shots), how do I switch between libraries? (I'd want the Managed/Personal shots to open upon launch by default.)
Hold down the option (or alt) key key and launch iPhoto. From the resulting menu select 'Choose Library'
Here's a post that describes why Referenced Libraries are a bad idea
https://discussions.apple.com/thread/3062728?tstart=0
A General comment:
Deep breath. This is simple and you're making it very complex.
Use one managed Library. You can easily separate your personal work from these inspirational photos with a keyword. Events are a very limited form of organisation. iPhoto gets its real power from Albums and keyword. For instance:
I use Events simply as big buckets of Photos: Spring 08, July - Nov 06 are typical Events in my Library. I use keywords and Smart Albums extensively. I title the pics broadly.
I keyword on a
Who
What
Where basis (The When is in the photos's Exif metadata). I also rate the pics on a 1 - 5 star basis.
Using this system I can find pretty much find any pic in my 50k library in a couple of seconds.
So, for example, I have a batch of pics titled 'Seattle 08' and a typical keywording might include: John, Anne, Landscape, mountain, trees, snow. With a rating included it's so very easy to find the best pics we took at Mount Rainier.
File -> New Smart Album
set it to 'All"
title contains Seattle
keyword is mountain
keyword is snow
rating is 5 stars
Or, want a chronological album of John from birth to today?
New Smart Album
Keyword is John
Set the View options to Sort By Date Ascending
Want only the best pics?
add Rating is greater than 4 stars
The best thing about this system is that it's dynamic. If I add 50 more pics of John to the Library tomorrow, as I keyword and rate them they are added to the Smart Album.
In the end, organisation is about finding the pics. The point is to make locating that pic or batch of pics findable fast. This system works for me.

Is there ANY way to keep track of changes or versions in a dynamic form, viewed in Reader

I need to provide a measure of content control.
I looked at acrobat.com for help. There is a rather convoluted method and I don't know if I can get my company to go along with it.
I have a dynamic form and it has to be dynamic, so I cannot change it to static to give it Comment/Markup ability - out of the question.
Does anyone know of ANY way to keep track of changes or comments or anything? And if you know, please be as specific as possible.
Thanks!

No replies, so I assume that there isn't any way to do this at present. Do people agree that this would be a really useful feature?

Any way to keep faxing/scanning after "Print-head problem"??

We've got a "Print-head has problem" message. Ordered new print-head (before seeing another poster's message saying "I did that twice and it didn't help!) but it won't arrive for several days. Meanwhile we'd love to still be able to use this alleged "all in one" to scan and fax.
Problem is, there doesn't seem to be a way to escape from the "print-head problem" message--none of the "cancel" or fax buttons will work. Cycling the power just recovers the same message again, and otherwise locked up.
I'm hoping some old hand at HP may actually read this and know the magic fix.
So the question: Is there any way to keep using the 7780's fax and/or scan functions after getting a "print-head has problem" message?
BTW, we've had several problems with the 7780 in the 3 years we've had it. Had to send one back, and the auto-feeder has been hit-and-miss. But we've been able to work thru the problems with HP support--though certainly at a high cost in our time. Then with the problems getting a new Windoze-7 computer to work with it (certainly not entirely HP's fault but your customers could have used some better planning for the thing), we're starting to look at other manufacturers.
If any HP managers or execs ever read these boards, you might keep in mind that a reputation, once lost, is extremely hard to recover.
In any event, any help greatly appreciated. Thanks.

Hey Kappy, While my network is the only one in my preferred list, it's not the only one that the airport "sees". When I click on the wireless signal strength icon in the upper right part of the menu, when connected to my network, it says at the top of the pop up list "Airport: Scanning". It then lists about 10 wireless networks that are in range.
What I want it to do is stop "scanning" for other networks and simply lock on to my network once connection has been established. Is there a way to do this do you know? Thanks, Dan
