Is there a faster way to sync?

Hello.
I had some issues with my Apple TV and MAcBook syncing yesterday and I had to pair my computer again, and the content of Apple TV was erased. So now I have to sync everything again but its taking hours (I think even days). My internet connection might be causing some slow syncing.
Is there a faster way to sync for the first time? (I guess just to transfer around 50 GB of info into apple TV, and then, wireless works out just fine)
I left my computer all night syncing and it only did around 11 GB, after that, it went into sleep and stopped syncing.
Cheers and thanks...

your internet connection have nothing to do with the sync'ing between your computer and atv
you don't even have to have an internet connection to sync
you can try using eathernet rather then wifi but not sure how much it would help
really the bottleneck seem to be located elsewhere i suspect

    I'll venture that your problem here is that you're using two very different versions of Mac OS X.  The USB adapter has been useful to me when making big downloads or while using other networks, but it might not be your case. 
    Here's what I would advise, though it may be less than stellar:  Copy the files you need into folders and move them through a USB flash drive or using that external hard drive of yours. (Could the format be the reason your MBA can't see it?). Some stuff like calendars and contacts can be exported too. At least in Lion, I haven't used Tiger in a while. 
    Good luck.

  • I have a ! next to some songs and i have to locate them under my music under my documents and when i do it plays in my itunes is there a faster way to do this?once i fix this can i do anything from it happening again?

    i have about 100 songs itunes shows a ! next to it says cannot find please locate i can locate them under my music under my documents and when i do it plays in itunesbut that would take a kong time is there a faster way to fix this?and once i do fix this is there a way for this not to happen again?

    Hello ryane84
    There really is not a faster way to link the songs. You could get the info on the missing songs to see where they sit on your computer and just move the files there before. Then you can organize your library to move them in the iTunes library folder or another place of your choosing. To keep it form happening again, the article does have a section on what to do to keep it organized when new media is added.

  • Is there a fast way to wrap unstructured text into [Para] tags?

    I'm trying out my new Frame 12 by trying to produce an ebook in several formats. I'm using the out-of-copyright Agatha Christie's A MYSTERIOUS AFFAIR AT STYLES.
    Is there a fast way to wrap each paragraph with a [Para] tag?
    Thanks in advance.

    Wow, Russ, leave it to an FDK programmer to want to write a script or plugin to solve every problem! And FM does indeed have native functionality that addresses this situation. The conversion tables (see the Structured Application Developer Reference) that you mention in passing were designed to handle exactly this situation. Except that a conversion table operates on an unstructured rather than a partially structured document. So, all TdeV1 need do is:
    1. Create a new document from the chosen sample.
    2. Delete all content, including the root element.
    3. Paste the original, unstructured paragraphs.
    4. Use StructureTools > Generate Conversion Table to create a new coversion table.
    5. Complete the table as follows:
    Wrap this object or object
    In this element
    With this qualifier
    P:
    Para
    Para+
    Section
    Section
    Chapter
    6. Save the conversion table but leave it open.
    7. In the original document, use StructureTools > Utiltities > Structure Current Document.
    8. Create the needed Head elements for the Chapter and Section.
    Another alternative, available since FM 11, is Smart Paste. Recall that Smart Paste allows the user to copy material from web pages and Microsoft Office products such as Word and paste it into FM. Yes, in general, there is a significant amount of setup to prepare for using Smart Paste. However, Smart Paste is supported out of the box for DITA. So TdeV1 could do the following:
    1. If the content originated in Word, open the Word document and copy the paragraphs to the clipboard.
    2. Use DITA > New DITA File > New <topic> to create a new DITA document.
    3. Click in the <body> element to set an insertion point within that element.
    4. Use Edit > Smart Paste. FM will paste the content, converting each paragraph to a <p>.
    5. Copy the resulting <p> elements to the clipboard.
    6. Paste the <p> elements into the actual document.
    7. Select the <p> elements and use the Element Catalog (or Ctrl-3 to bring up the Smart Catalog for changing elements) to change them to <Para> elements.
    However the structured document is created, while this sample template is appropriate for initial experimentation with structured FM, it is intended for technical material and not optimal for fiction. To get the most out of a structured document for production work, it's almost always necessary to define elements and attributes appropriate to the particular project.

  • I want to know what for is the "Sync" button in Lightning and if there is a way to sync my LOCAL Lightning calendars between two computers. Thanks

    I want to know what for is the "Sync" button in Lightning and if there is a way to sync my LOCAL Lightning calendars between two computers. Thanks

    sync is about synchronizing network calendars. Simply create a network calendar and synchronize it on multiple machines and forget local calendars.

  • Is there a faster way to figure out what a negative number in base 8 is?

    Hi,
    Altough I know that using base 8 in java is rare, I am still curious about ways to convert from a negative decimal number into a base 8 number.
    For example, when we want to find out the negative representation of -11 (base 10) in base 8 . I would first convert -11 into the 2's complement representation of base 2 first (i.e. 11 in binary is 00001011; -11 two's complement is then 11110101). I then convert this into base 8 (365). Is there a faster way for this?
    I hope i am not confusing everybody.
    Thank you.

  • Is there a fast way to convert mp3 to mp4?

    Got a large library of audiobooks in itunes that are in mp3 format.  I want to convert them to mp4.  Join Together by Doug Adams does a great job of this but is sloooow (appears that Quicktime is running in single step mode.)  Is there a faster way to make the conversion?  What are the best sample rates and data rate for a fast conversion?
    Thanks for any suggestions.

    You still haven't talked about the reason for converting, other than easier to use. I can read between the lines and guess that you are copying the files to some special device that doesn't like MP3,but no idea what it is or why MP3 doesn't work with it. Also, are you settled on using AAC format? I think it is a more advanced format intended to replace MP3 (Haha... sorry, just thinking about how long these PC guys took to give up on Windows XP-- they will fight much harder before giving up MP3 and AVI),
    Try Max for conversions. It has a batch feature (drag a dozen files to the window and click the Convert icon). Here is the comparison I got:
    Using iTunes to convert a 3:02 length song, 192 kbps, 4.2MB MP3 to AAC 128 kbps, 2.8 MB, the conversion time is 59 seconds.
    Using Max (free) to convert the same MP3 to the same setting of AAC 128 kbps, 2.9 MB, the conversion time is 37 seconds.

  • Is there a faster way to 'write' automation?

    I have a plugin that adjusts the gain on a vocal track.
    One of the features is to automate the adjustment so that the automation can be adjusted manually afterwards for fine tuning.
    As far as I can tell, the only way for this to happen is to 'play' the whole audio all the way through with the plugin in write mode.
    Is there any faster way to get that initial automation curve created?
    Also, is there a feature to reduce the number of automation points? IE turn 100 points into 10?
    Thanks!
    - Jac

    Thanks Eriksimon! 
      I have a plugin that will create the automation, and I'd like to edit/fine tune that automation after the plugin has created the initial automation.
      I'm looking for a way for that plugin to run through the file faster than real time so I don't have to wait an hour for the first pass to be written.
      The other thing I'd like to do is,  once the automation is drawn by the plugin, I'd like to reduce the number of points it created.  In Reaper, there is a functoin to select a bunch of points and reduce them down so that say 10 points might reduce down to 3 if most of them are reasonably redundant. I'm looking for a similar function or script for Logic Pro X.
      Thanks for the reply!

  • With Muti-clip gone from FCP X, is there a new way to sync two cameras with FCP X

    With Muti-clip gone from FCP X, is there a new way to sync two cameras with FCP X

    I film with two cameras then copy the files from each camera into their own folders. I then use ClipWrap to convert the MTS files into AIC.  If the recording was one long contiguous session, many cameras will split the MTS files into 2GB chunks.  ClipWrap will Convert Multiple to Span to reassemble them properly.  With the AIC .MOV file from ClipWrap, I then use FCP X to Import the MOV files from camera 1 and camera 2.  I prefer to do it that way versus using FCP X Import from Camera.  I then move the clip from camera 1 onto the timeline in the "primary storyline" (FCP X terminology).  I drag the camera 2 clip above the camera 1 clip and line up the audio from the two cameras while that audio is still attached to the video so everything stays in sync.  FCP X has a way to automatically sync two soundtracks, but I have not gotten around to that yet.  With camera 2's clip attached to camera 1's clip as a "connected clip" above the camera 1 video, I then do an edit to go between the cameras as seems best to me.  When the connected clip of camera 2 video sits above the camera 1 video, it will take priority over the camera 1 video.  I then split camera 1's video clip taking out sections when I want to go back to the camera 1 view. Of course I can trim camera 2's clips until I get it the way I want it.  Since FCP X uses the magnetic timeline concept, and camera 2's clip is "connected" to the camera 1 clip, as you split and trim camera 2's clip, everything will stay in sync across the two camera "tracks".  When there is no camera 2 video above the camera 1 video, camera 1 video will be seen.  When camera 2 video is above camera 1 video, camera 2 video will be seen instead.  With a single editing pass, I can then do all the editing I need to go back and forth between two cameras.  The same concept is expandable to other camera "tracks" as long as you are using vertical position in the timeline to determine which camera is seen when.  If you would like for it to look like a multi-camera track composit like before FCP X, you can simply select all your clips and make a compound clip out of it.  You will then see the multiple camera clips side by side in a single "track".  Double click on that "clip" in that "track" to go into the structure and editing individual "tracks" around if needed.  Think of a compound track as what a sequence used to do.  Anyway, there may be other, and easier ways to do this, but with a single edit through my recording, I can easily and visually cycle back and forth between camera views.  It's just that things are called differently now ... and, as of this time, we do not have a single button camera switching function to let us view multiple cameras simultaneously and switch between them using a keystroke for each camera.  Still, I have a way to do it, and it has worked very well for me, in fact I was pleasantly surprised at how easily I could do multi-camera in post.  Hope this at least gives you one option.  Others may have a better way.  Best wishes.

  • Hi, my iPhone 3GS wall charger stoped working, and I went to Orange shop with my warranty and L.I.G. insurance.They said I should also give them the phone for almost 10 days, isn't there a faster way, is it possible the Apple Store replaces my wall charge

    My 5YO daughter owns her very own IPhone 3GS, she got it for her 5YO birthday on the 24th of june. its allready upgraded to iOS5, and works like a charm.
    Last evening, while it was charging, a flame appeared and the charger stopped working.The USB still works.
    It was plugged in a Belkin 3700 joule along with my 47 Inch Full HD TV .
    No storm or something like that, and there was nothing wrong with my TV, as in was still running.
    Problem.
    I went today to an Orange store here in Romania, with the charger, invoice,warranty, and L.I.G. (London Insurrace Group ((I think))) insurrance, and they said I MUST also bring the iPhone, and thet it will take just about 10 working days for them to give me back the Iphone, and a new charger.
       Is there a faster way I can get the wall charger replaced?
    Should I try going to the Apple Store with the warranty from Orange.
    Thank you for your answers.
    Please excuse my English.
    CONDOLENCES APPLE. for your painfull loss.

  • I am migrating from my old black MacBook to a new MacBook pro over wifi but why does it take SO Long...?  I have about 400 gig to transfer and it says 80 hours!  Can this be right?  Is there a faster way?  Is there a way to cancel the migration?

    I have an old black MacBook (2006) and want to migrate to my new MacBook pro i7. The migration assistant offered me the prospect of migrating via wifi.  Stated at 108 hours to transfer about 400 gig. Now revised down to 85 hours. Why is this so so so long??  Is there a faster way?  What happens if I cancel now.  Is there a way to cancel? As there is no cancel button....
    Ay suggestion sighing the next 80 hours very much appreciated.

    The 2006 MacBook has firewire. Use a cable like this. Boot the '06 with the T key held down until you see the Firewire icon. Connect the 400 port on the '06 to the 800 port on the i7. Run Migration Assistant. 400 GB will still take a long time, but it will be closer to 8 hours I think.

  • Is there an easy way to sync an iPhone 5 to a new Macbook Pro Retina

    Hi Guys,
    Thanks in advance for helping me out, I think this question has been asked in various forms but I was hoping to be a bit more specific.
    I've just got a new Macbook Pro Retina 13", which is awesome.
    The first thing I want to do is sync up my iPhone 5, which im thinking is going to be a nightmare.
    Im almost certain if I connect my iPhone ill be presented with the option to 'Erase and Sync'.
    Basically, without transfering all my photos, music and apps to a hard-drive and then over onto this new MBP is there a way to sync up without effectively starting from scratch and spending hours with a big transfer?
    Thanks again.

    What do you want to sync? You can use it to just sync your music, movies, and tv shows if you want and don't want to have to erase your apps. You can do the same things just as quickly with iCloud and even more things such as contact syncing, calendar syncing, and more.

  • Is there a faster way to add repeated text besides the hand tool?

    Every day I receive multiple documents to edit and on each and every one, there is one page where I have to enter the date 3 times. The file doesn't originate with me so I can't do the javascript thing others have talked about. I just go to tools, add text (the date) and then use the hand tool to copy/paste it. However,  since the hand tool for some reason just dumps it into the middle of the screen and I have to drag it over to the area I need it, I've found it faster just to keep clicking and typing in the date I need.
    Every time I do this I keep thinking, "there's got to be a better way". Is there?
    Using Adobe Acrobat Pro

    There is no shortcut for this.
    A faster way could be to click and paste instead of paste and drag.
    1. Right click on the page and select 'Add Text'
    2. Click where you want to type.
    3. Paste (Ctrl/Cmd + V)

  • Is there a fast way to change size and Res in multiple photos?

    I have cs5 and am trying to change 70 to 100 photos from 4288x2848 300ppi psd, To 1000x664 at 72ppi jpeg quickly. Is there an easy way? If there is not a fast way to do it what is the best way to do it? Any help would be appreciated.

    Yep it can be done in bridge.
    First copy the files to another folder for protection.(just in case something went wrong)
    Select all of the files then click the export tab (may need upgrading of bridge to see the tab, not sure)
    Double click save to hard drive,
    The Image options tab will let you change the size of the image.  However it looks like the resizing is restrained only and does not offer a ppi setting.
    Your other option is to use image processor.
    First create an action that will change the ppi.
    Now it just a matter of running image processor and tell it what folder has the images you want changed, what folder you want the new images at, The file type and file size, and finally the action you just created.
    image processor can be run from photoshop (file>scripts>image processor) or bridge (tools>photoshop>image processor)
    Whether or not ppi has to be change depends on what you are using the images for. Prints require it to set the print size, for the screen it is not required since the screen has no way of knowing how to use ppi.

  • Is there a fast way to remove duplicate files from itunes?

    I relocated a lot of my music on my computer to a single folder so there would be less clutter. So far as I know there is no easy way to relocate all of my music without going through each song one by one, and I have a rediculous amount of music so this was simply not an option. Instead I dragged everything back into itunes from that folder. Now I have a large number of 'ghost' files in my itunes and I was wondering if there is a fast way to get rid of them all without selecting and deleting them all individually?

    I actually have scripts for reconneting moved media, and I could have shown you how to move the library without breaking the links. Normally moving the entire iTunes folder and then shift-starting-iTunes does the trick. Sometimes it is possible to put a broken library back together again.
    I'm working on a rebuild of my DeDuper script which will merge stats from missing files before deleting. It's been on the back burner for a while but the lack of show duplicates feature in iTunes 11 has prompted to have another look at the issue so with luck I'll get it done in the next few days. That would be one way to tidy up.
    If you just want to remove all the dead tracks right now you can download and install iTunes Folder Watch. Point it at your iTunes Media folder, connect it to your .xml file and enable the option to Check for dead tracks on startup.
