Is there a suggested directory structure for iTunes?

Is there a suggested directory structure for iTunes? I have moved my library around several times (what with new machines, etc.) and I find that I have two app libraries in different locations and I think it is the problem behind a refusal to sync issue I'm having with my iPad.
Any help would be gladly appreciated!

(Screen grabs a great help)

I'll see your Tb and raise you some - the truth is, almost every major revision and data migration from MBP to MBP and now back to a MP has caused replication of folders in the strangest of places, none of which I have consciously created - I mean, why would anyone except out of self-focused spite want to create three different sets of apps folders - to say nothing of the interminable Compilations folders that sprout from no where in particular!
I could understand the issue if I was careless or a complete neophyte, I only moved to the Apple platform about 6 years ago, (even though I've been using the platform since 1987) when I went to work for the company.
iTunes I think is a little like a cat - it recognises my lingering, subyle antipathy and rolls all over me just to mess with my head!
Thanks for the information, none-the-less, greatly appreciated.

Official directory structure for itunes 8 in OSX

I have had so many different locations for my itunes libraries over the years and I would like place the on a time capsule drive now. What is the default directory structure for itunes8? Are movies, podcasts, tv shows all in the same directory?

HD>Users>Your Account>Music>iTunes>iTunes Music - this is the default for iTunes.
The iTunes folder contains the data base file, .xml, genius, art work etc - the iTunes Music contains all your music in folders arranged by artist then album. Note that this is true as long as you have the iTunes prefs>Advanced - the 'keep' and 'copy' options are enabled.

Directory structure for servlets and webservices in one application

hi,
Can any one help me for creating servlets and webservices in one
application and deploying in Jboss 4.2.0.
I want to know exactly what is the directory structure for creating this
application and what are the additional .xml files for deploying this application.
if any one know this answere please tell the answere.

I figured out a solution - it's a problem of policies. In detail: Server1's codebase entry (file:) refers to the class directory of Server1's project. In the simple case of only Client1, which has no codebase entry, it works fine without a file permission on the side of Server1. In the complex case of Client1+Server2, which has to have a codebase entry (file:) refering to the class directory of the Server2's project on a separate machine, for exactly the same method call from Client1 to Server1 a file permission entry on the side of Server1 is needed for Server1's class directory. But WHY ???
It seems to be a little confusing with the codebase entries, many of the posts are contrary to others and to my personal experiences. Some comments given by Adrian Colley throw a little light upon some aspects. Is there anybody, who can explain the whole topic, when, why, and which part of RMI application deals with codebase entries, also in case of not dynamic code downloading ? May be there is also a reference into the java docs, which I didn't found up to now.
Thanks in advance

An EFFECTIVE development directory structure for J2EE platform?

Hi, here we r talking about deployment environment more than development
environment. Have u ever think about designing an EFFECTIVE development
directory structure for J2EE platform( e.g. weblogic )? u r not using the
deployment directories for coding, r u? :)
I used to construct a dir structure for dev and want to improve it.
d:/wholesystem/*.prj // Project files
...../module1/src/com/.... // Module source files
...../module1/doc/... // Module doc files
...../module1/classes/... // Module class files
...../module2/...
...../web/*.jsp // web page files
...../web/images/... // web page images
...../web/WEB-INF/... //...
Do u have any good ideas? Thanks!

Create a web-inf folder at the same level of src and
jsp folder inside src
i mean
/build.xml
/src/
/src/java/<package>/...../*.java
/src/demo/<package/...../*.java
/src/test/<package>/....../*.java
/src/jsp
/web-infSo, would you put in /src/jsp only the *.jsp?
And what in /WEB-INF ? What woud you put there? Would you do something like:
/WEB-INF/web.xml
/WEB-INF/src/<package>/..../<my_servlets_and_j2ee_stuff>.java
/WEB-INF/classes/<package>/..../<my_servlets_and_j2ee_stuff>.java
In this manner sources and classes are in the same tree, it does not seem very clean to me, expecially if you consider that probably I must have a "test" directory to unit test some j2ee stuff (as for the j2se stuff in "src"): how would you do that?
Is this directory structure anyway what you meant or not?

Is there a fixed directory structure where we put our application?

the samples .java files I find in \ias6\ias\ias-samples\database\hellodb\src\samples\hellodb\servlet ...
I need to know if there is a directory structure that I should follow that iPlanet need when I deploy my application? like where do I put my .jsp files, .java or any beans class ? or it does not matter because these would be in the WAR file ..

It does not matter how your directory structure is for your applications. When you deploy the war/ear files, all your class files and JSPs will be extracted from the war/ear files under ias_root_dir/ias/APPS

Is there anyone here that works for itunes support?

is there anyone here that works for itunes support?
I have waited for 39 hours for a response from support team with no reply. I can get any of my credit cards to be accepted with itunes. Somthing is wrong on apples side of things..been to apple store and they could not help either. this is crappy. I am one of the biggest apple fans but this is one side of apple that really *****. CAN'T TALK TO A LIVE HUMAN FROM ITUNES? Give me a break.

I agree completely endive! I've been fighting for days trying to get some help with a technical problem and apparently, you can't get help from Apple without paying out the nose. The problem I'm having is due to an update they recommended which I installed and now have no sound in itunes!
I too love Apple products. I hate, hate, hate, hate, hate, their customer service after the sale! The are just as bad as Microsoft.

What should be directory structure for Custom MDS files?

Hi,
I have personalize a page and then exported the personalization.
Now my requirment is to migrate this personalization to other server, for which clients want steps specific to UNIX.
My doubt is where should I copy these files on the server to import the personalization using XMLImporter command? ( Client do not have JDev on his server, so can not use impot command)
my custom_top structure is like '/u02/int/applmgr/CUSTOM/xbol/11.5.0'
The customization is part of product 'OTA'
I am confused about where to put(Directory structure on custom top) customization and other MDS file to import using XMLImport.
This customization is also using a Custom LOV for which, I have given the path xbol/oracle/apps/ota/admin/enrollment/webui/XbolGradeRN.
For now I have transfered the file from window based JDeveloper and things are working fine. I need the UNIX directory structure for MDS files.
Please help to clear my this doubt.
Regards,
Adarsh

There is nothing specific to UNIX since the files are never picked from the file system on a production instance. You can place them under a temp directory with the proper package structure, the same way you exported personalizations for the seeded pages and the same custom package structure for your new pages and run import command. It's only how you run your import command matters, if you have placed the files in the proper package under some temp directory just give the -rootdir to point to your temp directory and no -rootPackage option.

Directory structure for Applets

The Tutorial recommends storing the applet class in the same directory as the HTML file. Is this the usual best practice? If not is there a preferred directory structure. I've noticed that the codebase relative URL "../myclasses/" doesn't work from the root htdocs path.

I have been storing my class files and jar files in the same directory as my html.
That is what I've typically seen people do, but it is not necessary if you specify otherwise in your codebase. Thanks, that's probably what I'll do.
If you set the value of your codebase using the URL in your example "../myclasses" you are saying that
your applet class is located in a directory called "myclasses" which is in the Parent directory of htdocs. I realize that's what the ../ should mean, its just that it doesn't appear to work if the html file is in the root as specified by htdocs. If there is an extra level it works.

Is there any third party software for itunes that will do this:

Is there any third party software for itunes that will organize the browser window. Ideally I would like the third browser window (album name) organized by "main albums" "compilations" "bootlegs" "singles"
It would look like this for the Beatles
Main
1963 Please Please Me
1965 Help
etc.
Compilations
1970 Red Album
1990 Greatest Hits
etc.
Bootlegs
1985 Ultratrax 1
etc.
CD Singles
1999 Whatever
This info would be marked on either the info or option tab when labeling.
If this has not been made, one of you nerds should make it, it would be great and you could charge $3 for it and I buy it. and so would 100,000 other people.

If you haven't already, try looking through the Apple Downloads specifically for iTunes.
http://www.apple.com/downloads/macosx/ipod_itunes/
There might be something there that is at least similar to the app your looking for.
edit: There is one shareware that is an iTunes plugin called Multi-tunes. With it you can create multiple iTunes libraries, one library called "Main" one called "Bootlegs" etc, and Multi-Tunes will allow you to quickly switch between them from within the iTunes window. Not exactly what your looking for but close.

What is the default iTune Folder Structure for iTunes 10?

What is the default iTune Folder Structure for iTunes 10? As far as I can tell in windows 7 it goes something like.
My Music\iTunes\iTunes Media\Music
Other folders for downloads, pod casts, mobile applications are all in the iTunes Media folder, however the iTunes library database files are located in the iTunes Folder.
The reason I ask is that I am re-doing my music collection and I set up the folder structure mentioned above, but iTunes re-arranded everything and copied all of my music into the iTunes Media folder.
Anyone have any idea how iTunes does it by default?

Here are typical layouts for the iTunes folders:
If you have upgraded from version 8 (or earlier) to iTunes 9 (or later) at some point, then your media folder (everything inside the red outline) may still be called iTunes Music instead of iTunes Media. The extra Music folder inside the media folder is used if you have allowed iTunes to Upgrade to iTunes Media Organization (iTunes 9) or used File > Library > Organize Library > Reorganize files in the folder "<Media Folder>" (iTunes 10). Depending on your choices for Keep iTunes Media folder organized and Copy files to iTunes Media folder when adding to library plus a little bug in which one build changed the name of the file storing the choice of layout it is quite easy for some of your files to be organized according to one layout and some the other.
Assuming you're happy letting iTunes organize your files the following steps should tidy things up (should it be necessary):
1. Select File > Library > Organize Library... > Tick Reorganize files in the folder "<Media Folder>" and click OK. Skip if this option is greyed out (already upgraded) or you prefer the older layout.
2. Select File > Library > Organize Library... > Tick Consolidate files and click OK. This will bring any files currently organised outside the designated media folder into it. NB This will create duplicate copies of any file that needs to be consolidated, and you will need to manually clean up afterwards. If space is at a premium try my scripts Unconsolidated to find out what would need moving and ConsolidatebyMoving to move rather than copy it.
3. Select Edit > Preferences > Advanced tab, uncheck Keep iTunes Media folder organized and click OK.
4. Select Edit > Preferences > Advanced tab, check Keep iTunes Media folder organized and click OK. This triggers iTunes into reorganizing everything according to your preferences.
5. (Optional) Close iTunes, rename the folder iTunes Music as iTunes Media then restart iTunes. Check under Edit > Preferences > Advanced tab that the location has automatically updated. If you can't access the media for any reason just undo the folder rename.
6. (Optional - Windows only) If Windows Media Player has ever had access to your files it may have liberally scattered folder artwork files about which iTunes won't tidy up when it reorganizes things, thus leaving behind a heap of folders with artwork and no media. I've written a script for cleaning this mess up called CleanDeadArt.
PS If you really prefer the older layout, but it is already in the new one then edit the file called .iTunes Preferences.plist in your media folder and change the integer from 1 to 0 before doing step 3.

What is the folder structure for iTunes for Ver. 11.0.5

What is the folder structure for iTunes for Ver. 11.0.5 since I have iTunes on an external drive at the moment but want to move it back to the HD temporary so as to back it up to TM, the problem is that it seems that the files are some what disarranged and I'm not sure where and how iTune reads them.

Time Machine will back up connected external drives as long as they are not on the exclude list.
Connect the drive with your iTunes library > System Preferences > Time Machine > Options > if the external drive with the iTunes library is listed, select it and click the minus sign then run the Time Machine backup

Directory structure for a J2SE+J2EE project: suggestions are very welcome

Hi, I have to start coding and organizing the CVS tree of an already mature project which is J2SE. This J2SE project can be described as a "core engine" for something else, and is a quite large project, and up to now has only a command line User Interface. I organized the dir structure as this:
/build.xml
/src/
/src/java/<package>/...../*.java
/src/demo/<package/...../*.java
/src/test/<package>/....../*.java
when I ant compile, all the .classes will be done in the "build" directory (reflecting the structure in the "src" dir):
/build/
/build/java/<package>/....../*.class
/build/demo/<package/...../*.class
/build/test/<package>/..../*.class
I am happy with this, but now comes the issue: a web interface to use this core engine (it will have the same package namespace) is in developing progess, so I have to put somewhere the *.jsp, the WEB-INF dir with web.xml and servlet sources: how would you do this? And where would you let Ant put the compiled servlet classes?
I can modify the previous directory structure to accomodate the J2EE part, this is really not a problem!
Thanks to who can suggest me a clean solution

Changing file name and directory structure for use outside of iPhoto

Hi,
I was wondering if its possible to get iPhoto to name the files from my library to reflect the names that I've given the files in iPhoto. I'm thinking along the lines of iTunes, where its possible to chose in the preferences how the files are named, and there is some logical directory structure, such as "Artist/Album/01 - Track 1.mp3". These file names are updated to reflect any changes made in iTunes.
I've heard the argument that I shouldn't ever want to do anything with the files themselves because iPhoto can do everything I would ever want to do, but I want to organize the files so that not all of my organizational work is lost if I decide to stop using iPhoto and transition to a different system. Any suggestions would be appreciated.
Thanks,
Adrian

Adrian
No it's not possible.
You can rename the files before bringing them into iPhoto, you can rename them with the titles on Export (Use the File -> Export command, it gives you the option to use the title and filename) but when it's inside iPhoto you cannot rename the files.
However, all is not entirely lost. Using Film Rolls (View -> Film Rolls) you can move pics between rolls, name rolls, create rolls and so on, as long as you do this in the iPhoto Window, and these changes will be reflected in the iPhoto Library Folder.
If at some point you decide to chuck iPhoto then (if the new app won't read iPhoto database files) you can simply export each album you've created to a Folder (using the File -> Export command as I suggest above), this, along with exporting slideshows will preserve your organisational efforts.
The iTunes database has a rather simple job to do: track a file and it's assorted metadata. iPhoto, on the other hand, tracks a file and it's assorted metadata, plus a Modified version, plus a thumbnail. If you consider what happens when you edit a pic, for instance - Copy Original, perform edit, save modified version, remove Original Thumbnail and then create new one - you can see it's a rather more complex job.
Finally, the standard warning: It is strongly advised that you do not move, change or in anyway alter things in the iPhoto Library Folder as this can cause the application to fail and even lead to data loss. Any changes you make must be made in the iPhoto Window.
Need more info? by all means post again.
