Issue With maintaining all my music

My computer is having a lot of issues and i'm not sure what's wrong with it, so i was reccomended to do a system restore, effectively bringing my computer back to the day i bought it, with nothing installed. I have a lot of music on itunes(music burned from cd's, as well as many purchased songs and episodes of tv shows) and I'm trying to find a way to back it up to cd or flash drive so that i can restore my music collection once i reinstall itunes after my computer is fixed. Any suggestions?

Welcome to AD!
Are you using all the default locations for iTunes? If so, it is really straightforward. Copy the top-level music folder to a flash drive.
That will include the media files, as well as the important iTunes database that holds play counts, ratings, etc.
Here is a good iLounge article that explains some things about the iTunes library vs. iTunes content

    HI. ...
    Anyone know of any issues with using Logic Pro music software with Mountain lion OS..
    I have heard rumours in the past is that all sorted now?

    At least Logic Pro 9 and Logic Pro X work correctly in Mountain Lion. Furthermore, Logic Pro X requires the latest OS X Mountain Lion version

    Has anyone had issues with failure of the music player to launch after updating to OS5? My Gen 3 will no longer play music!

    I think a few have.
    Try the standard fixes:
    - Reset. Nothing is lost
    Reset iPod touch: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
    least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
    - Restore from backup
    - Restore to factory defaults/new iPod.

  • Issues with itunes/icloud and music on my Iphone 5 and PC

    I had to set up my laptop (windows based pc)  as my main itunes device because my desk top died.  I installed intunes (the newest version and icloud as well.)   thought I had everything set up.  I then redownloaded all the purchased music from the itunes store and also moved all my own music (cdpurchases for many years) from an external device to the laptop and put it all back into itunes.  I set up all my playlists the way I wanted to and then synced my phone (with the new IOS 7) to the laptop.  when I got finished syncing my phone all the music appeared to be on my phone yet a lot of it had the cloud next to it and most of that did not have the album art that I so painstakingly over numerous hours made sure was on each album.  Itunes used to let me cut and paste album art that was not available from itunes into the get info section but now no matter what I did it would not install.  I was playing my music at work yesterday and a lot of the music with the icloud next to it would stop and start repeatedly.  I got home and deleted Icloud from my system which of course disabled the find my phone function.   but when I synced my phone after, it installed all the music and the album art.  Has anyone else run into these issues??  Were you able to fix the problem without deleting Icloud?
    I think Icloud is a great idea but execution *****.

    The songs listed in your iTunes library as "iCloud" probably refer to songs in "iTunes in the Cloud", meaning they can be re-downloaded from the iTunes store from the Purchased list on your phone.  They are not in your personal iCloud account and do not automatically sync to your phone using iCloud.
    If you want to download this music to your phone, open the iTunes app, tap More at the bottom, tap Purchased, tap Music, tap Not on This iPhone at the top, then tap the download symbol (cloud with downward facing arrow).
    If you don't want to see the "Cloud" designated music in your iTuens library, you can turn this off by going to iTuens Preferences>Store and unchecking "Show iTunes in the Cloud Purchases".

  • Issue with burning and importing music

    my MBpro is excessively "picky" about burning, or importing music from or to a cdr.
    System details
    MBPro 15in
    2.16GHz Intel Core 2 Duo
    2GB RAM
    current OS: OS X 10.6.8
    here is summary of issue.
    Ive been transferring all my CDs to my HD. Sometimes, i will insert a CD (all CDs mentioned within are purchased) and each time is a guessing game as to if it will recognize or read it and import the CD. Sometimes ive had to re-insert the same cd 3-4 times before it will recognize/read it and import it. Condition of disc i.e. scratches etc. doesnt matter (within logical reason, i dont try to insert a CD that is obviously unreadable). could be brand new, or several years old in like new condition.
    i have also had this issue with a blank CDR and trying to burn music from my iTunes to them, also playback of a CDR that i had created using this laptop. Ive purchased and thrown away probably 2-300 brand new blank cdr's because it wont recognize them.  I do remember not having an issue of creating cds when i used the "black" style CDR's. Which i have yet to try out, since this issue arose. I dont want to spend the money on the black style cdr's and it be a waste. 
    I realize that its an older MBPro, and would understand if the super drive unit, itself is worn out, and just needs replaced. anyways, any help is appreciated
    thank you.

  • Issue with Update All Vaults button

    I am having a relatively strange issue with the latest version of Aperture (3.3.2).
    After the upgrade, my "Update All Vaults" button behaves strangely. In the past, if you pressed it, it went through the process of updating the vaults and then it turned from yellow to black. With the new version, if Aperture is not the foreground application, the button stays yellow, even right after updating all vaults.
    It's not a major issue, but it's quite frustrating because you are never sure if you had updated your vaults or not.
    Any ideas will be greatly appreciated.

    I have exactly the sane problem, even  if Aperture is the foreground application.
    According to the manual this means:
    Yellow: All masters in the library have been backed up, but a change has occurred to at least one version (such as an adjustment) that has not been backed up. The vault should be updated to safeguard your work.
    I have updated all 3 vaults multiple times and they remain yellow. Is there any way to correct this, or alternatively find out which picture creates this problem?
    Thanks
    Pim

  • Reward for helping me out. Issue with Lenovo computers and musical equipment.

    I know this may seem a wierd place to put this post, but as this looks like a conflict between hardware or drivers, I think it is possible that I can get better help from computer-Techs then Music-Techs.
    Help me out before I grow bald and decapitate my self in agony.
    I have used the last couple of months to build a setup to sooth my needs for using Native Instruments Traktor Pro 2.03
    After hours of research I came up with a solution that says:
    Computer: Lenovo T500 2.8Ghz with 4GB ram
    Midi controllers: Numark Mixtrack Pro, Evolution UC-33e and Novation Launchpad
    Softeware: Traktor Pro 2.03 and Midikatapult
    All worked like a charm until I connected the Launchpad.
    As it goes, it looks like the Launchpad and the T500 is a match made in HELL.
    Whenever the Launchpad gets involved in any kind of midifeedback from Traktor or Midikatapult (for lighting up the LEDs), my computer totally freezes.
    The freezes happens most of the time within a blink of an eye, and other times within half a seccond. Only options is to hard reset the computer in order to get out.
    I have narrowed the issue to be some conflict between Lenovo and Launchpad.
    Tried the setup on my wifes T400, with the same problem but when I hook it to my old HP it works fine (except for the HP being to slow to cope with it on a live playing basis).
    Other people have the launchpad working fine on PC's with win7 pro 64bit just like me so it doesn't look like a win7 issue.
    If I disable LED feedback, the setup works fine, but then I can't use midikatapult as it F&#$s my setup when I start up midikatapult. Seccondly it would be allmost impossible for me to navigate around a 80 button controller like the Launchpad without LED feedback.
    I am in really pinned to the floor about having to buy another computer to get this working as the T500 sooths me perfect in all other aspects, so I am desperatly looking for a solution that doesn't envolve switching equipment or otherwise ruining me.
    If you can give a usefull insight that solves this issue for me I will happily pay you 50$ for the trouble.
    I really hope someone can help me out, and I know that I'm not the only one agonizing about this issue.
    Best Regards Jeppe Johansden

    I don't know anything about the MIDI products you're using so all I can do is give you some genreal tips, but hey, it might help. 
    First question - are these products all USB-based?
    Second question - have you tried using an external POWERED USB-hub?
    Third question - does it do the same regardless of which USB port you're plugged into?  Some hardware seem to prefer certain ports to others.
    Get back to me - will try to help.

  • Issues with printing all picture formats to the a4 paper tray via eprint

    A little mystery which i am unable to work out.
    I have recently purchased the hp photosmart plus all in one printer b210 model. The printer has eprint which is enabled and working, the printer has two trays, a standard a4 paper tray and a photo tray.
    When i send a letter or standard written email it prints fine to the a4 paper tray. however if i wish to print a picture of any size or type (as i have tried different sizes and file types etc) to the a4 paper tray, it always defaults this to the photo tray and of course as there is no paper in the photo tray it displays an out of paper message.
    I have been into the printer prefereneces and changed the tray type both to a4 and to auto - ask me first and both still try to print to the photo tray, looking at the demo for e print it does discuss only photo sized images and standard letters but the demo video shows an actual eprint send to the a4 tray of a different type eprinter for hp.
    As a summary i really think that you can be able to send images to the a4 tray via eprint but do not know how. i have changed the tray type on the printer options and also looked at the eprint options on line. the paper default is set to a4 and nothing smaller? what else could be done and is it actually possible for this model i have?
    just as an additional note i can print pictures from wireless via laptops and pcs to the a4 paper tray so the issue lies with eprint????
     any help is appriciated many thanks
    AMD64legend

    Currently, if you attach a photo, it will default to the photo tray.  The ability to specify photo tray vs. main tray w/attached images is not available yet. 
    A work-around that provides some fliexibility in this area, is that if you embed your photo into the body of the email, it will print from the main tray...don't put any text into the email and embed the image (so you can see the picture in the email body) and send it to your printer's email. 
    A limitation of this approach is that images will not automatically fill the page - see my crude "drawing" below of a page w/an image in the upper part of the page as an example of how a print out of an embedded image might appear.  Give this a try yourself if you'd like to see how the output looks to determine if you want to make use of this option.  You can embed multiple images as long as you stay below the 5MB size limit for each email.

  • Xerces Validation Issues with Honour All schema Locations

    Way back in 2009/2010 there was a bug - 284272 - that was never updated with Xerces information about validation. We have a similar issue in Luna and Mars with the WTP validation framework (with Xerxes at the center) and I'm wondering if it's due to Xerces 2.9 or something else.
    I'm not a savvy XSD guy, but the issues detailed in 284272 still occur for us with certain schema combinations. We're encountering it specifically with the JBoss/SwitchYard project and the SCA schemas we extend for the SwitchYard runtime.
    The following error is displayed in the Problems tab:
    cvc-complex-type.2.4.a: Invalid content was found starting with element 'sca:interface.java'. One of '{"http://docs.oasis-open.org/ns/opencsa/sca/200912":documentation, "http://docs.oasis-open.org/ns/opencsa/sca/200912":interface, "http://docs.oasis-open.org/ns/opencsa/sca/200912":binding, "http://docs.oasis-open.org/ns/opencsa/sca/200912":callback, "http://docs.oasis-open.org/ns/opencsa/sca/200912":requires, "http://docs.oasis-open.org/ns/opencsa/sca/200912":policySetAttachment, "http://docs.oasis-open.org/ns/opencsa/sca/200912":extensions}' is expected. switchyard.xml src/main/resources/META-INF line 7 XML Problem
    Can someone revisit 284272 and let me know if this is indeed a Xerxes issue under the covers with the example included in the bug? It's not our example, but has the same general problem.
    I just don't want to open a duplicate of 284272 without knowing more about how the Honour All Schema Locations stuff works under the covers and if it is indeed caused by Xerces - indeed if it might be fixed by an update to Xerces further down the line (they're up to 2.11 and there was a 2.9.1 it looks like we might be able to more simply move to if it's fixed there).
    Thanks all!

  • Is anyone having issues with their iPhone 5 music controls in a 2012 Hyundai Accent, both on Bluetooth and using a headphone or USB cable?  My music plays but I cannot skip songs without physically using the iPhone 5 controls.  Thanks!

    Hello,
    I have an AT&T iPhone 5 purchased from an AT&T store - it is a normal phone, no changes, no jailbreaking.  I tried using my phone and my girlfriend’s iPhone 5 with the USB auxiliary cable in my 2012 Hyundai Accent.  No matter what connector I use (headphone, USB, auxiliary) it doesn't charge or allow me to use the Hyundai’s controls to change music.  Music will play through the Bluetooth system, but I cannot control the music unless I physically touch my iPhone.  My iPhone 4 has a USB auxiliary cable and works perfectly; it charges and I have full control of my music without having to touch my phone. Nothing works even if I use the adapter that connects the iPhone 4 charger end to the iPhone 5. The picture below shows the iPhone 4 USB cable but it needs to have the (blue) iPhone 5 adapter.
    Here’s the best part of this whole situation.  I was told by Hyundai Customer Care that there is a specific USB cable available for my iPhone and that I need to contact a dealer.  However, two Hyundai dealerships have told me that they do not have a cable, that Apple has not made a cable for the iPhone 5, and that I need to contact Apple directly or order it from an Apple store.  It gets better.  I contacted an Apple Store and they told me to contact Hyundai.  I explained what I wrote above and they put on a call with Apple Customer Care.  After 37 minutes on the phone with Apple, they still couldn't give me a satisfactory answer on how to get this cable or if they even had a cable (Case ID 505467409).
    So here is the magical question:   Is there a working adapter for the iPhone 5 that connect to a 2012 Hyundai Accent? It needs to play music, charge the phone, and work with the car’s controls.  Thanks!
    -sam

    The problem is that you're using an uncertified lightning to 30-pin connector (the blue cable).  If you purchase the 30-pin to lightning cable (either online, at an Apple store or an authorized dealer) it should work fine.
    I have a 2011 Tuscon and tried the lightning to USB cable that came with the phone - no dice.  Talked to my local Hyundai dealer and they don't have an eta on the Hyundai lightning cables (I'm sure it's in the works).

  • Issues with test-all role and browser security

    WLS 10.3.5
    I have a deployed application on Linux using a SQLAuthentication and Authorization - all is well here.
    I have setup all the security (without the test-all role) and I cannot access any of the system.
    If I put the test-all role in - I can access the system.
    I have verified the user has all the roles (I used the example bean to display the user and roles on the menu page) and the test-all role is not in the list.
    I have the menu setup to not display items unless the user has the role (this is working fine - SecurityContext.inRole(rolelist).
    So the context is fine.
    I used jazn-data to set the same roles in the taskflows - this is not working at all unless the test-all role is set - I get authorization errors - not authorized).
    Have I missed something in this?
    I have also noticed that if I close the browser (X) without logging out and come back into the system the authentication is totally bypassed and I go back in as the same user as before.
    Is there some way to destroy the previous context every time the welcome screen is executed.

    Add the following parameters to the Run options for the ViewController project:
    -Djps.auth.debug=true -Djps.auth.debug.verbose=true
    Then restart WebLogic, run the app and watch the console - you'll see all the security evaluations take place which should help you to identify the problem.
