Is this possible to do and if so how?

I use itunes on my laptop. At home, it is connected to a Network Area Storage system (NAS) and I have about 400 gigs of music.
When I travel, I'd like to keep about 100 gigs of music loaded directly on the laptop as a subset of the songs on the NAS.
Is it possible to make iTunes switch between two completely different music libraries? Can I just copy the ITL libraries back and forth from different subdirectories?
I don't want to split the libraries because the NAS is backed up regularly.
Thanks

  • Is this possible in AppleScript and if so how ?

    I am trying to make an app that opens AppleScript and types in things.  I then want the AppleScript that the other Applescript wrote to save as an application, and rename it.  Is this possible and if so, can you give me an example?

    If I'm following what you want, the applescript editor is fully scriptable.  In fact, there are a bunch of applescript samples in /Library/Scripts/Script Editor Scripts/ that show you how to use applescript to write and compile applescript code into a new window.  Just for a quick-and-dumb example:
    set the target_string to "X-X-X"
    set the script_text to "display dialog \"" & target_string & "\" buttons {\"OK\"} default button 1" & return
    set outputPath to POSIX path of (path to desktop folder from user domain) & "test.app"
    tell application "AppleScript Editor"
              activate
              set newDoc to make new document
              tell newDoc
                        set its text to script_text
                        try
                                  check syntax
                                  compile
                        end try
                        save in outputPath as "com.apple.application"
              end tell
    end tell

  • I want to put several images on one sheet.  In other words, I want to open a blank document and move photos on to it.  Is this possible with Elements, and if so, how do I do it?

    OK, another question.  I opened a new blank file and the picture I want to move is in the Photo Bin.  That image is 2 in. X 3 in.  But, when I move it onto the blank image, which is 8X10, it fills up the entire space.  I can't figure out how to put it in the new image in the correct size relationship. 
    Open the picture file, go to Image>resize>image size. Read what the resolution is in px/in, write it down, do nothing else here at this time
    Go to File>new>blank file, Enter the dimensions , resolution the same value that you wrote down in step #1, background color to suit, ok it.
    Go back to the picture file, go to Select>all, go to Edit>copy to put it on the clipboard
    Go back to the blank file, go to Edit>paste
    Get the move tool out of the toolbox, position the picture, and resize with the corner handles of the bounding box, if necessary..
    Note: For printing, the rule of thumb is that the resolution be in the 240-300px/in range, although I have had good results below this value. For web work, 72 px/in is ok.

  • I have a video I 'm editing and some of the shot taken (on the left and right) I would like to remove. Is this possible to do ? If so, how?

    I have a video I 'm editing and some of the shot taken (on the left and right) I would like to remove. Is this possible to do ? If so, how?

    If you mean there are parts of the picture at the sides you want to remove, you have at least 2 choices.
    You can mask the edges of the frame or enlarge it so that the left and right sides are outside the picture area.
    The latter suggestion will reduce the quality of the video and you will also lose an equal amount from the topand bottom, though you could slide the image up or down.

    I am based in Russia, and I use a Russian cred card number. Hence my apple store page is in Russian language (which i dont speak). Can I change this into English language and if yes, how?

    The only way I know is that you need a physical address and credit card of an English speaking country.

  • I run Netflix on my ATV. I am interested in setting up the automatic play for episodes. Could this be done? And if so, how?

    When I run Netflix or Hulu in my PS3, I can enable automatic episode play, which is great when I am cooking or cleaning, and my 4 year old is watching a show. However, upstairs I run Netflix and Hulu via the Apple TV. Hulu allows for automatic episode play but Netflix doesn't. Is this something I can control via the ATV, or is this an issue with Netflix? Any info will be apreciated!

    Welcome to the Apple Community Sofia.
    I don't believe that's possible on the Apple TV.
    If you have any suggestions that you think might enhance the Apple TV you can send Apple your feedback here 

  • HT1338 this is all well and good but how do you upgrade software, i have no updates waiting and a lot of stuff now requires updates, all i want is to buy lion snow leopard, etc. online however every time i look for a solution i get a really really crap so

    where can i get snow lepard and lion....

    Backup first
    It is always best to have a full bootable backup before you upgrade. If you fail to do this you will be unable to return to this OS if you decide you don't like the new OS. Also there is a slight chance that an install could lose everything on the Mac. The backup must be to an external hard disk. Preferably use Carbon Copy Cloner to make a bootable backup of the whole disk.
    Erase before the install
    Once you have a bootable backup on an external disk it is best to erase the internal disk with the new installer DVD before you install.
    During the install
    Preferably do not import any data or preferences from earlier OSs during the install process as this can reintroduce bugs.
    OS numbers and names
    OS X 10.4.x - Tiger
    OS X 10.5.x - Leopard
    OS X 10.6.x - Snow Leopard
    OS X 10.7.x - Lion
    OS X 10.8.x - Mountain Lion
    More about Macs
    The Apple History site has specifications for every Mac ever produced: http://www.apple-history.com/
    Upgrade to Leopard
    Those wishing to upgrade to Leopard should be aware that install disks can be expensive unless you contact Apple. Details: http://lowendmac.com/deals/best-os-x-leopard-prices.html Standard Leopard installers impose several hardware limitations including speed and RAM size but all these restrictions can be overcome. Google for details. Leopard works well at 500 MHz with 1 GB of RAM and many happy users have less than this.
    Upgrade beyond Leopard
    OSs beyond OS X 10.5.8 require an Intel processor. If in doubt check this: Click the apple at the top left of your screen and select 'About this Mac'. This will give you your OS number. Then click 'More Info' to see which processor you have. If it says PowerPC you cannot upgrade to Snow Leopard and above. If you have an Intel Mac it is well worth upgrading to Snow Leopard now and then considering other options after that. You can buy Snow Leopard here: http://store.apple.com/us/product/MC573Z/A
    Upgrade beyond Snow Leopard
    Information about upgrading Snow Leopard to Lion or Mountain Lion: http://store.apple.com/us/product/MD256Z/A
    Important
    Check that your Mac complies with any requirements. If you are not in the US you should use the Change Country link at the bottom of Apple pages.

  • Is "subdirs 20" usefull? Does changing or deleting this parameter influences performance and if so, how?

    Let's say I delete the parameter on a functioning mailserver and I do "imsimta refresh". What happens to the directories and their content? Do they get processed? Do the 20 subdirectories get deleted automatically?
    Problem is I don't have a testmailserver.

    Setting more subdirs on a channel is often useful. The exact number of subdirs to use is dependent on your site and what the typical amount of queued mail will be.
    The MTA has to scan the queue directories to find out what messages are queued - and just scanning a directory with more than 1000 files will not perform well. So you should always set the "subdirs" parameter so that you will never have more than 1000 files in each subdirectory.
    Busy large ISP's will typically set this to 100 for many queues, as they may have tens of thousands of messages queued at any one time.

  • Sorting elements by category - is this possible in Muse?

    I have a page that may eventually have 100+ groups of 3 separate elements, which all are connected with a musical artist. I would like the user to be able to sort through the list based on categories I create.
    Here is the current site - http://www.vfepedals.com/support-an-artist.html
    Here's an example of how another website does something very similar: http://www.jhspedals.com/
    Ideally, it would sort through multiple elements, and each set would be contained in a fixed rectangular box (so I'm basically sort empty boxes that multiple elements could go in, much like LIghtbox).
    There are many places on my website that this could be employed to make the site look better and be easy-to-navigate.
    Is this possible in Muse? If so, how? What widgets do I need? I'm willing to invest some money if that's what it takes, but any solution will have to be something I can edit in Muse myself.

    Hi
    You can try to use toolitp where insert the categories in trigger and the items in container , so when user will click or hover over trigger it would show up the category clicked.
    The exact behavior that you have mentioned cannot be achieved without using custom code implementation, but with Muse widget you can achieve a similar effect.
    Additionally you can checkout few interesting widgets in library to use :
