Is there a way to batch relink audio files in itunes?

Hello,
My ext. HD with my iTunes library crashed (*****) and I copied the files on my iod to my new drive with Senuti. I trashed the itunes library file so it would rebuild and set the music folder in the itunes preferences to the new drive. BUT NO MATTER WHAT I DO all the files show up with the little exclamation saying it can't locate them. Am I really going to have to lose all my playlists and just dump everything and manually drop and drag the files? HELP!

Did you move the entire iTunes folder the hold Option, select Choose library and select the iTunes folder you moved?

Many CD's will include a DVD disc as well containing music videos. Is there a way to import these video files into iTunes as well as the music files?

I have a number of music CD's that also include a DVD which has music videos or concert movies. Is there a way to import these video files into iTunes as well?

wjosten - thanks very much for the detailed instructions. I'll try this as soon as I get my replacement and it looks like you'll probably end up getting the green tick

Is there a way to batch-name photoshop files from an Excel (or other) list?

I have a couple hundred photos that need to be resized and named. I've got a PS action that resizes them, but is there a way to also have them pull the name from an Excel (or other type) of list?
I found this vbs script that will pull values from an excel file and paste them into a layer, so it's close... but not close enough for me to know how to reconfig it for my purposes.

I am on a Mac (OS X 10.8) and using Photoshop CS6 and Office 2011, if it matters.

Well this is bare bones but may help… As is it just reads a list from text file… Gets the JPEGs of a given folder and re-names them… Should be an easy edit to adjust to your needs… It does nothing to check anything adds up… What file formats do you have and do the new names already have proper extension…?
renameFiles();
function renameFiles() {
          var i, files, fold, names;
          names = File.openDialog( ' Where be the file names…?' );
          fold = Folder.selectDialog( ' Where be the files…?' );
          if ( names != null && fold != null ) {
                    files = fold.getFiles( '*.jpg' );
                    names.open( 'r' );
                    count = files.length;
                    for ( i = 0; i < count; i++ ) {
                              files[i].rename( names.readln() + '.jpg' );
                    names.close();

Is there a way to import an audio file (WAV) with markers?

I used a TASCAM DR-100-MK2 audio recorder to record conference presentations. The TASCAM has a function button which can be used to create markers in the audio file. I used this "marker" button to create a marker every time the presenter changed the PowerPoint/Keynote slides. I was hoping I could import the WAV file into FCPX and see the markers, and then drop each slide at the markers (after converting the slides into JPG files). However, I am not able to see the markers on the audio file. Is this something I can do in FCPX? If so, what do I need to do in order to see the markers?
A quick response is greatly apprecaited because I´m on a deadline. Thanks.

Tom,
Thanks for quick response. When I play the WAV file in QT player, I don´t see anything but the "start/stop" button, the "fast forward", "fast backward" and volume control. Shoule I see anything else?

Is there a way to easily locate original files in iTunes after moving everything to an external harddrive?

I recently moved my itunes folder (everything including library and music folders) from my computer harddrive to an external harddrive. I was able to find the library and it opens, but the music (all 7000+ songs) gives me this error. "The song “Beautiful People” could not be used because the original file could not be found. Would you like to locate it?" I know I cannot go and hand pick each artist folder and song, but this would take me forever! I have also changed the location via the preferences. I know all my music is in my folder on the external drive, so is there a way to easily fix this?
My path looks like External drive--Music folder--iTunes folder...Inside this folder are hundreds of folders (every different musician has its own folder and if there are two or more cds by same artist they are within the artist's folder) and my itunes library files and my automatically added to itunes folder and several itbd folders etc.
Please help!

As Office is not an Apple product, I strongly recommend asking in the Microsoft Office:Mac forums here:

Is there a way to create an AUDIO alert when my MacBook Air (Mavericks) battery runs low (say 10%)?

Is there a way to create an AUDIO alert when my MacBook Air (Mavericks) battery runs low (say 10%)? I often miss the visual power percentage in the top bar, so would like an audio alert as well.

For global alerts, yes:
There is no need to do anything before the alert appears, and the MBA will not lose data should it go to sleep. If it goes to sleep at 0% you still have several hours to plug it in before it shuts down.
I wouldn't even bother displaying the percentage value.

Is there a way to make an audio clip not cover the whole project? I want to add audio clip or song and let it start at a certain point in the project. I'm working with iMovie on IPad!

Is there a way to make an audio clip not cover the whole project in iMovie? I want to add audio clip or song and let it start at a certain point in the project. Whenever I add audio or song it covers the whole project. I'm working with iMovie on IPad!

Thank you for your reply Karsten but unfortunately this didn't help me so far. Or maybe I'm missing something?
First the link is a tutorial for iMovie on a Mac. I'm using iMovie on iPad so the steps are inapplicable.
Second it is only possible for me to manipulate the end part of the sound clip to whichever duration I want. But I can't do the same with the 'beginning' of the sound clip.
I simply want to place some photos in the beginning of my video with no sound in the background then after like 2 secs I want to start the music clip. For some reason that is not possible! Cause every time I drop the music clip unto my project timeline it automatically place it self along with the first frame in the project! And consequently the photos and music are forced to start together.
Hope I'm making sense...

I have downloaded a Audio Book from Itunes Store, but rencently i have had to reinstall windows, is there any way to re-download the audio book from Itunes, i know that the audio books are one time downloads, but is there any way to get the audio book

I have downloaded a Audio Book from Itunes Store, but rencently i have had to reinstall windows, is there any way to re-download the audio book from Itunes, i know that the audio books are one time downloads, but is there any way to get the audio book back as i have already paid for it once and i would not like to pay for it twice.

If you haven't got a backup copy and if it's still in the store then you can try contacting iTunes support and see if they will grant you a re-download (there is no guarantee that they will) : http://www.apple.com/support/itunes/contact/ - click on Contact iTunes Store Support on the right-hand side of the page

I was using a photoshop droplet on my desktop but this no longer works due to the fact it requires rosetta support.

From another forum after googling:
Your computer came with everything you need, because ColorSync can do that and Apple provided AppleScripts for it. Go to your Applications folder and look for the AppleScript folder. Double click on the 'Example Scripts' alias and then open the ColorSync scripts. Drag and drop your images on the the 'Match to CMYK' script.
You can open AppleScript Editor from Launchpad (it's in Utilities). Go to Help to Open Example Scripts Folder. In the ColorSync folder is a Match application. Double click to make it run.
Now you know what it does you may need to change it for batch conversion.
Go to AppleScript Editor and open what you've just found. And I'm sorry that's as far as my knowledge goes, hope some one can fill in the gaps.
Or you may just want to look at something like Graphic Converter?

Many thanks

Chances are the pinnacle is producing .avi files or MPEFG1/2 streams - iTunes may know how to decode the audio but not the video. Download Handbrake and try running the Pinnacle files through it and adding to iTunes - use Universal format unless you have a specific device in mind.
Keep copies of the originals.
Another option might be to try to install Perian. Can't remember if the Apple MPEG2 plugin allows MPEG2 to be played in iTunes.

Is there a way to batch process (basic auto tone) groups of photos in Lightroom?

Is there a way to batch process (basic auto tone) groups of photos in Lightroom?

There are two ways to do this:
1) Create a develop preset and apply it during import of images.
In the Develop Module apply the settings you want to one image and then click on the <+> sign in the Presets panel (on the left side) and save your settings under a descriptive name. In the import dialog on the right side in the panel <Apply during Import> select the preset that you created. It will be applied to all imported photos.
2) In the Develop Module apply your settings to one image then select all the other images you want the same setting applied - but your first image should remain active - to and press <Sync>. A dialog will appear that lets you select the settings you want applied to all images.

What file type is the video that comes with the ipad? Is there a way to transcdibe the audio from a 90 minute interview I just recorded?

What file type is the video that comes with the ipad? Is there a way to transcdibe the audio from a 90 minute interview I just recorded?

Thank you Menneisyys.
By transcription I mean being able to take what was said in the interview and have those words converted into written text. So I think your second option's a bit closer to what I was looking for.
The inelegant solution would be to buy Dragon Naturally Speaking software, load it up on another computer, stand my i-pad next to it, and have the words transcribed that way - an analog approach, as it were.
O course, I could just spend the next several hours tying up the interview, which is something I kinda hope to avoid.
Thanks again - Jim
