Is there a way to retract my old itunes notes  from files in my ext. hd?

i recently had my mac fixed and so transferred all my files to an external hard drive.
The problem is that all the songs used to be rated, and there were notes in each track file. is there a way to retrieve that information? Or do I have to start all over? Hope not.

  • Is there any way to get my old iTunes library that is saved on my Spotify into my new iTunes library?

    Best Buy screwed me and lost everything, so since my Spotify was linked through my Facebook when I re-installed Spotify it was all still there. So, I was wondering if there was any way to put my music back into my iTunes library? I tried authorizing it and that didn't help at all. I clearly know nothing about any of this.

    If I understand it correctly Spotify has indexed the media you like, and you can stream it again to the Spotify app on demand within the terms of your subscription. It won't give you access to downloadable copies of your tracks.
    If you have an Apple device see Recover your iTunes library from your iPod or iOS device, otherwise see HT2519: Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store.

  • Is there a way to always save as folder, not session file

    Is there a way to make Logic X always default to saving as a folder, not a project file?
    I am using Logic X for production and Pro Tools for vocal tracking/mixing. This is a great solution for me, and while I'm sure being able to save a logic session as one file is great for others, I need it to not be an option if possible.
    It is essential for my workflow that I use the folder version so I can keep bounces as well as the stems I export within the one folder. However, my clients often just hit save without looking, then when they go to bounce they have to save the bounce somewhere else, and if they don't name the bounce the same as the logic session, I have to back-track and open every session to see if it is the one I am looking for or not.
    Furthermore, Logic X does not remember my preference of saving to folder. If I could select it once and it would stay the same, no one would change it but it seems there is a bug that after a certain amount of time, or if the computer dies or is restarted, the preference is reset to project file.
    Maybe I'm the only guy with this problem as I can't seem to find any other threads on it, but if anyone has anything to say here, it is greatly appreciated.

    Furthermore, Logic X does not remember my preference of saving to folder.
    It saves that setting for me...... so I assume you have a permissions or prefs issue of some kind going on where that status is not being saved..
    Try first deleting Logic's prefs and see if that fixes things....
    Delete the user preferences
    You can resolve many issues by restoring Logic Pro X back to its original settings. This will not impact your media files. To reset your Logic Pro X user preference settings to their original state, do the following:
    In the Finder, choose Go to Folder from the Go menu.
    Type ~/Library/Preferences in the "Go to the folder" field.
    Press the Go button.
    Remove the com.apple.logic10.plist file from the Preferences folder. Note that if you have programmed any custom key commands, this will reset them to the defaults. You may wish to export your custom key command as a preset before performing this step. See the Logic Pro X User Manual for details on how to do this. If you are having trouble with a control surface in Logic Pro X, then you may also wish to delete the com.apple.logic.pro.cs file from the preferences folder.
    If you have upgraded from an earlier version of Logic Pro, you should also remove ~/Library/Preferences/Logic/com.apple.logic.pro.
    Restart the computer.
    If not then something else is causing the issue on your system.

  • Is there a way to retrieve an accidentally deleted "note" from my 4S if it's not in the cloud?

    I mistakenly deleted a very important note.  How can I get it back?

        Yikes! I can totally understand the need of retrieving that note. Have you backed up your device with iTunes since you've had that note? If so, you can restore your device. Here is how: http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1414

  • Both my iPod and the laptop that had my iTunes library on it were stolen, is there a way to retrieve my former iTunes library?

    A few months ago my iPod and laptop were stolen. Is there a way to retrieve my old iTunes library or a portion of my old iTunes songs even though I do not the iPod or the laptop?
    Any and all help is welcome and needed.
    Thanks!

    Use the backup to put back what you have... something is better than nothing.
    Any purchases that are still missing can be downloaded from iTunes.
    Downloading past purchases from iTunes
    If the iTunesLibrary.itl file was not a part of the backup, your library is gone.  Playlists will need to be recreated, playcounts are gone.

  • Is there a way of opening up old PSD documents and photos on the iMac please?

    Is there a way of opening up old PSD documents and photos on the iMac please?

    .psd (photoshop) files should open in preview to view them and make some simple adjustments. 
    If you want to edit them but don't want the expense of buying Photoshop (or Elements) for your Mac, consider downloading Gimp - it's free.

  • Is there a way to connect an old Sunflower iMac (OSX 10.4.11) to a new Time Capsule?  It used to work with old Airport Extreme with updates thru Snow Leopard but now seems to only allow WEP encryption instead of WPA.

    Is there a way to connect an old Sunflower iMac (OSX 10.4.11) to a new Time Capsule?  It used to work with old Airport Extreme network, run from a intel iMac with updates thru Mavericks but now seems to only allow WEP encryption instead of WPA and can't connect to Time Capsule.  Airport Extreme Base was controllable from either computer up through Snow Leopard (I didn't do any of the Lion upgrades).  Then when I upgraded to Mavericks I lost the ability to use Airport Utility with this hardware on the Sunflower but could still connect wirelessly to network without any problems.  But now with the Time Capsule upgrade the Sunflower is blocked from network by a dialogue that requests ony WEP password, not WPA pwd used by Time Capsule.  Neither can I use the old airport extreme base to extend the time capsule network since I can't input the correct password/encryption approach to join it.  Is there a work around?  Would a newer but old Airport Express be able to extend network to Sunflower?  Or maybe a third party wireless (such as Netgear, Dlink, etc) that has browser type control rather than special utility?
    Another question--before I used MAC addresses to control who could access network.  Now on Time Capsule I don't see anything about this--so is it true now that the only access control is via WPA2 pwd now (which appears to be the encryption pwd and not the time capsule pwd)?

    Is there a way to connect an old Sunflower iMac (OSX 10.4.11) to a new Time Capsule?
    I can’t claim to completely grasp the issue(s) you’re describing, but the underlying problem is presumably your iMac’s obsolete AirPort card. Whatever the case, an obvious (if not particularly helpful) answer to your stated question would be to connect your iMac with an ethernet cable, using powerline adapters as an alternative if you don’t want to have wire running all over the place.
    My still fully functional clamshell iBook, with an original AirPort card, connects wirelessly to my 4th Generation TC network by means of a cheap 802.11b/g/n USB Wi-Fi adapter. This might be an option for you too.
    Another question--before I used MAC addresses to control who could access network.  Now on Time Capsule I don't see anything about this
    When you edit your TC's settings the access controls appear under the Network tab, don't they?

  • Is there a way to access my old Notes only? I still have my old back up but I cant sync to my phone or it will corrupt it.

    I am using an iphone 5. Recently it malfunctioned and I was told by apple that my old back up had a corruption with it an caused my phone to malfunction. Apple had to redownload the operating system. I was also told that I can not use my old back on my phone I need to delete it and manually download everything. I DID NOT USE ICLOUD. However I do have my old back up still on my mac in itunes. Question below....
    Is there a way to access my old Notes only so I can rewrite them in my phone? I still have my old back up but I cant sync to my phone or it will corrupt it. I just want to access my notes so I can type them back into my notes on my fixed phone.

    you can restore from your backup again just to get the notes. once you've restored from the backup, copy your notes into your icloud notes group or email them to yourself - basically, get them somewhere else so they're not just locally stored on the device. once you've moved your notes elsewhere, restore the device as new again like apple had you do. this will again put a fresh version of the operating system on your phone like it has right now
    there's no other way to access the notes that are in your backup

  • I have deleted iPhoto from my MacBook Air. When I try to reinstall it, itunes tries to charge me. Is there a way to reinstall the old version for free?

    I have deleted iPhoto from my MacBook Air. When I try to reinstall it, itunes tries to charge me. Is there a way to reinstall the old version for free?

    depening on what OS you're running you should be able to reinstall it without charge since it's part of the operating system. if running 10.6.8 or earlier you will need to use the applications install disc if there is one or if you only have one disc you can put it in and do a reinstall of the OS which will put the iphoto back on. if running 10.7 or 10.8 can sign into the app store w/ the same apple id that is associated w/ the mac and it should show in your purchases for you to reinstall it. you may need to click on the accept button if it appears next to the iphoto in your purchase listing.

    I tried recovery software but had no luck!

    You reformatted the drive in your computer. The backup files you want to access were overwritten when you re-formatted the drive. They are gone. There may be data recovery services that can get them back. Search google if you want. This has absolutely nothing to do with using an iPhone at this point. You deleted files on your computer...

  • I imported photos from an old iPhoto (2001) to photo library and can now see them as thumbnails but not when I click on them. The screen is black cannot see or print either. Is there any way to salvage those old photos? I now use iLife09. OS 10.6

    Did you import the old iPhoto library into the new one? That's not what you want to do because you will import all of the original, modified and thumbnail files as if they were original files. Lots of duplicates and useless small photos.
    Do you have a backup copy of the library that you imported into to?  If you do then bring it in and then use  iPhoto Library Manager to merge the two libraries into a new, 3rd library.
    If you don't then you'll have to try to fix the current one and then cull out the duplicates and small useless photos as follows:  make a temporary, duplicate copy of your library and apply the three fixes in order as necessary.
    Fix #1
    1 - delete the iPhoto preference file, com.apple.iPhoto.plist, that resides in your HD/User/Home()/ Library/Preferences folder.
    2 - delete iPhoto's cache file, Cache.db, that is located in your HD/User/Home()/Library /Caches/com.apple.iPhoto folder. 
    3 - launch iPhoto and try again.
    NOTE: If you're moved your library from its default location in your Home/Pictures folder you will have to point iPhoto to its new location when you next open iPhoto by holding down the Option key when launching iPhoto.  You'll also have to reset the iPhoto's various preferences.
    Fix #2
    Launch iPhoto with the Command+Option keys held down and rebuild the library.
    Select the options identified in the screenshot. 
    Fix #3
    Using iPhoto Library Manager  to Rebuild Your iPhoto Library
    Download iPhoto Library Manager and launch.
    Click on the Add Library button, navigate to your Home/Pictures folder and select your iPhoto Library folder.
    Now that the library is listed in the left hand pane of iPLM, click on your library and go to the File ➙ Rebuild Library menu option
    In the next  window name the new library and select the location you want it to be placed.
    Click on the Create button.
    Note: This creates a new library based on the LIbraryData.xml file in the library and will recover Events, Albums, keywords, titles and comments but not books, calendars or slideshows. The original library will be left untouched for further attempts at fixing the problem or in case the rebuilt library is not satisfactory.
    If this doesn't fix the problem you'll have to start over from scratch and create a new library from the files inside the Originals folder of your current library.  But first you should cull out the small photos that would be the thumbnails from the 2001 library.
    Move the Originals folder to the Desktop, open and do a search for Kind=photo, File size is less than 10 KB.  That should find all of the thumbnail files which you can then drag to the Trash.  You might have to make that less than 50 KB. Then Import the remaining photos into a new iPhoto library.

    I now have a new laptop, but I'm afraid to plug my iPod in because I know it will wipe out all 300 songs. Is there a way to put my old music on my new laptop?
    (After my old laptop blew, it won't turn on anymore). I've invested quite a bit of money into my music, and it'd be a bummer if it's all gone to waste.
    Thanks in advance!

    Your i-device was not designed for unique storage of your media. It is not a backup device and media transfer was designed for you maintaining a master copy of your media on a computer which is itself properly backed up against loss.
