Itunes created alot of problems with my music PLEASE HELP!

Good morning everyone; well lets just say I've spent about 10 hours trying to upload all my music files to itunes for use on my Ipod and it's just killing me; there must be a better way.
So this is what's happening. Before purchasing my ipod I used Windows Media play and uploaded about 200 CD's and about 3K in misc music files from the net. So when I went to put them into itunes it created about 3 duplicate files in itunes and just about doubled my music file (from 10 G to 28G); Also some of my CD Files that were converted are missing (A 15 track CD is now 10 for example) The mp3 files are still there so I have to manually re-add everything. Not to mention delete the mp3 to save space. Also the album art is not showing up but it's in my music folder, whats up with that?
I'm I doing something wrong? I've always wanted an ipod and thought this would be somewhat simple but I have about 20 hours left of editing if I want to get all my 5K Files on this thing. I'm going crazy and need help PLEASE I'm begging! Sorry for the long post any help is greatly appreciated!
Thanks Tom

I used Windows Media
iTunes allows for .mp3, or .aac only. When you add from Windows Media iTunes throws a popup letting you know it needs to convert .wm, etc. to .mp3. Answer 'yes'.
Open Preferences > Advanced > General. Make sure 'Keep iTunes Music Folder Organized' is not checked. Otherwise iTunes will create its own folder > sub-folder(s) > song file, hierarchy.
Again, Preferences > Advanced > Importing. 'On CD Insert' Show Songs, 'Import Using' - MP3 Encoder, 'Setting' - either 160 kps, or 192 kps (my personal favorite), 'Play songs while importing' - no checkmark, 'Create filenames with track number' - no checkmark, 'Use error correction when reading Audio CD's' - your preference.
Existing music files you want to add to iTunes, check the extension and make sure it's one iTunes supports. If not, iTunes should ask you if it can re-encode the file to mp3 or aac.
iTunes hierarchal folder structure, and support for only .mp3 and .aac extensions may be why you don't see the file in iTunes Library, but still see the file in your computer.
Hope this helps.

  • Having problems with Frontrow. Please help!

    Hi,
    i've been trying to figure this out all day today but i haven't found any solution. hopefully you Mac Geniuses can help. now, my problem isn't that my videos won't play, because they do. they all play perfectly. okay, so when i launch Frontrow, all my video files appear under their respective folders; my TV Shows appear under the TV Shows folder and my Music Videos appear under the Music Videos folder. however, for some strange reason, these files also want to appear under the Movies folder. That means they're showing up twice! -under the Movies folder and TV Shows/Music Videos. is there anyway to fix this, because it's really cluttering my Movies folder and i admit i'm a really anal neat-freak.
    Also, i have correctly labeled the video files as Movie, TV Show or Music Video under iTunes. Everything is organized well under iTunes, so i doubt it's that.
    please help!!

    It might be because with the new update, it seems as though anything stored in the MOVIES folder , shows up under movies in Front Row. I have a folder of Transformers AVI'S in my movie folder, now it shows up in the movie directory of front row

  • I suppose it is the problem with socket connection,Please help

    Hi,
    I'm trying to build a chat server in Java on Linux OS.I've created basically 2 classes in the client program.The first one shows the login window.When we enter the Login ID & password & click on the ok button,the data is sent to the server for verification.If the login is true,the second class is invoked,which displays the messenger window.This class again access the server
    for collecting the IDs of the online persons.But this statement which reads from the server causes an exception in the program.If we invoke the second class independently(ie not from 1st class) then there is no problem & the required data is read from the server.Can anyone please help me in getting this program right.I'm working on a p4 machine with JDK1.4.

    You're connecting to the server twice. After you've successfully logged in, pass the Socket to the Messenger class.
    public class Messenger {
        Socket connect;
        public static void main(String args[]) {
            Messenger mes = new Messenger(args[0]);

  • Problems with Boot Camp - PLEASE HELP!

    I'm having problems with Boot Camp. Here's what's happening. I ran Boot Camp Assistant, partitioning a 32GB BOOTCAMP drive. I insert my copy of XP and start the installation. My MBP restarts and boots into the Windows Setup. I let it run through the initial actions. I press ENTER to proceed, F8 to accept the license agreement, then when I get to the part where I should be able to select the Partition 3 BOOTCAMP drive (as it says in the Apple Boot Camp Manual) there is only a Partition 1 Unknown drive. It is the only drive to choose from and its a C: drive. I can't figure out why after I run boot camp the partitioned drive doesn't appear as an option in the windows installation. Please help!!!
    Message was edited by: CarlConti08

    Boot into Leo, start Disk Utility and you should see two partitions, your Leo partition and a Fat32 partition of 32GB at the end of the drive.
    If not, boot camp didn't create it for some reason. If it is there then check it with DU and make sure its OK.
    While your in there give it a name so you can easily identify it in your windows installer.
    If there is no partition, create one using Disk Utility at the END if the drive. make sure you create it as a msdos (Fat32) partition and give it a name. The name cannot be more than 11 characters must be comprised of numbers and/or letters (no special characters).
    Verify it before exiting DU.
    Put in windows install disk, reboot - hold option key after the chime until you see the boot screen - select windows CD to begin install.
    Don't forget to install Leo windows drivers after installing windows.

  • PROBLEM WITH NEW ROW  --- PLEASE HELP

    Hello,
    I've had it with the framework. It's been 20 hours and counting that I am trying to insert/validate a new record.
    Things just don't work as advertised.
    Here's the situation:
    I have an entity object with various validation rules in the validate() method.
    Then I have a simple JSP page to insert new records.
    At submit of button, I follow the framework's default
    create new row and fill it up, with the difference
    that i need to validate the row as soon as I fill it up
    with data from the http request:
    <jbo:OnEvent name="Create">
    <jbo:Row id="newrow" datasource="ds" action="CreateInRange" >
    <% try { %>
    <jbo:SetAttribute dataitem="*" />
    <%
    newrow.validate(); //******* NOTICE HERE THAT I VALIDATE
    } catch (JboException ex) {
    newrow.remove();
    throw ex;
    } %>
    </jbo:Row>
    </jbo:OnEvent>
    Unexpected behavior 1: If the validation fails,
    newrow DOES NOT GET REMOVED!!!! I know this
    since when I view data thru a data table component,
    the row is there WITH THE ERROR INFORMATION set!!.
    If I do a commit transaction, then the erroneous information ENDS UP IN THE DATABASE!!!!!
    Unexpected behavior 2: If I do a rollback, every
    call to subsequent pages results in a jsp error:
    java.lang.ClassCastException: oracle.jbo.html.jsp.datatags.OnEventTag
    PLEASE HELP.
    Chris Lambrou

    I have (hopefully) found a solution to my part of this problem. I was getting the ClassCastExceptions on any page with a <jbo:row> tag after doing a failed DML action. I have tested this with the delete event. (btw, I am using jdev9.0.3.3 w/ BC4J/JSP) Before what I was doing was this:
    <% try { %>
    <jbo:Row id="delrow" datasource="ds" rowkeyparam="jboRowKey" action="Delete" />
    <% } catch (JboException jboEx) { %>
    do something
    <% } catch (Exception ex) { %>
    uh-oh, this is bad
    <% } %>
    If I removed the try/catch block everything worked fine. Unfortunatlely, I need to try/catch block here. To work around the problem I changed the code to this:
    <% Row rowDelete = ds.getRowFromKey(params.getParameter("jboRowKey")); %>
    <% try { %>
    <%
    rowDelete.remove();
    %>
    <% } catch (JboException jboEx) { %>
    do something
    <% } catch (Exception ex) { %>
    uh-oh, this is bad
    <% } %>
    The second bit of code does the same thing (but it doesn't use a bean like I think <jbo:Row> does) and it doesn't cause the ClassCastError on subsequent errors.
    I really hope this helps someone else because it took me forever to get a workaround!

  • Problem with "Package Spec" please help.

    Hello once again.
    I'm developing a master-detail form, so I'm using a "Package Spec" variable to hold the primary key value from the master form. The primary key value for the master is generated by a sequence.
    Here's the package spec:
    PACKAGE primary_keygen IS
    pkey varchar2(15); 
    END;Now the master table has the following "Before Insert" Trigger .
    CREATE OR REPLACE TRIGGER MASTER_NUM_GEN
    BEFORE INSERT
    ON MASTER
    FOR EACH ROW
    DECLARE
    primary_key_value varchar2(15);
    BEGIN
    select lpad(to_char(ref_gen.nextval), 4,'0')
    into primary_key_value from dual;
    primary_keygen.pkey:='ABC/'||primary_key_value;
    :new.Ref_Number:=primary_keygen.pkey;
    END;For the detail block. I have the following "Before Insert Trigger" to generate the primary key values.
    CREATE OR REPLACE TRIGGER DET1_NUM_GEN
    BEFORE INSERT
    ON DETAIL1
    FOR EACH ROW
    BEGIN
    if :new.M_ref_number is NULL THEN
    :new.M_ref_number:=primary_keygen.pkey;
    ENd if;
    END;Works quite fine if I have only one detail block. But if I have multiple detail blocks. Depending on the user's selection. i.e. After entering data into the master block, the user selects a detail block ('Letter type'- using stacked canvases for this purpose and radio buttons for selecting the view) and then Inserts data into it. here's what I do in the Detail block2.
    CREATE OR REPLACE TRIGGER OREF_NUM_GEN
    BEFORE INSERT
    ON DETAIL2
    FOR EACH ROW
    BEGIN
    if :new.O_ref_number is NULL THEN
    :new.O_ref_number:=pkey_gen.master_key;
    ENd if;
    END;Now the problem is that When I enter one record into detail1, works fine, but for the second time, when I try to insert another record. the master table gets a new reference number (primary key value) while the detail block gets the previous value that was used in the first record!, so that means 'pkey_gen.master_key' is holding the old value, while in my opinion it should hold the new value, I dont know whats wrong here. If I try to insert two consecutive records into the same detail table, I get an error saying "Unique Constraint voilated", becuase the variable is holding the old values.
    And lastly after it inserts the record into the database, I get a dialog box saying, "successfuly inserted 2 records into the database" and when I click ok, the Form closes by itself, any ideas on how to stop this?
    I'm really stuck here. Please help me out on this.
    Thanks.
    Note: I'm using Form6i with Database 10g.

    Hi,
    Maybe the best way to start is to try building a new form from scratch. For simplicity I will assume that you have one master and one detail table. Master table has a primary key and the detail table has a foreign key to the master. Based on this, with the forms you can create a database block based on your master table. Use the wizard. Again using the wizard, create a second block based on the detail table. You'll see a screen to prompt to create a relationship. Create one by selecting the master table and the right foreign key relation. Now take a close look to all triggers automatically created by the form. Also check the "Relations" object found in you master block object tree. Note that the foreight key column in the detail table has the "Copy Value From Item" property set to monitor the master block's primary key.
    This is the basic. You don't need the database triggers, except (in case you want to insert through, say, SLQPlus) the one for the master table, which will look like this:
    CREATE OR REPLACE TRIGGER MASTER_NUM_GEN
    BEFORE INSERT
    ON MASTER
    FOR EACH ROW
    BEGIN
    IF :new.ref_number IS NULL THEN
    select 'ABC/'||pad(to_char(ref_gen.nextval), 4,'0')
    into :new.ref_number
    from dual;
    END IF;
    END;
    Now you have to take care about the inserts in your form. Create PRE-INSERT trigger on the master block.
    IF :master.ref_number IS NULL THEN
    SELECT 'ABC/'||pad(to_char(ref_gen.NEXTVAL), 4,'0')
    INTO :master.ref_number
    FROM dual;
    END IF;
    Run the form and explore different situations to see how the form is keeping the data integrity.
    Compile with Shift+K (incremental). Sometimes forms blow just because not all of the trigers were compiled properly.
    Hope this helps...

  • Problem with long report - please help

    We are using crystal report with ASP.NET/C# (Visual Studio 2005).
    Using Crystal report viewer control on the web page to have previews.
    A particular report is for say 6000 pages. I can not preview the report on the web page.
    I have the following questions:
    1. Does it make sense to think of previewing such a huge report on web page?
    2. What should be the alternate?
    3. I tried "Export to PDF" technique, but it failed.
    Thanks in advance for your help.
    Regards,
    Kangkan

    I tried to use exportToPDF technique. It works when the number of page is less. But just hangs up when the number of pages is high. I am working on finding the breaking number.
    There is no problem with HD space as well.
    I also tried to print the report to a printer on the server directly. I used the printer as "Adobe PDF" to use Acrobat Distiller to create the PDF. It starts up and asks for the destination for the PDF file also. Once it starts the system shown an error and the Microsoft Feedback Assistant for failed application comes up.
    I am now trying to print the pages to a network printer connected to the server. Shall get back with latest update after sometime.
    Please do look into other possibilities or points where I might have committed an mistake.
    Thanks and regards,

  • Problem with soundblaster ZXR please help

    Hi, yesterday I bought a ZXR . I downloaded the lastest driver 1.00.22 and tried to install it in my pc which runs windows 8.1. I use spdif port ( and I select it from the sound panel of pc) and I use 5.1 channel setup. My problem is that , when I choose DTS or Dolby from the SB control panel there is sound comming from from the test video in the SB control panel but when I want to play a music via media player I get this message "Windows Media Player cannot play the file because there is a problem with your sound device..." or something like the sound device is busy in another application. To solve this problem I have to choose speaker option in the system sound menu. This way the sound comes from the speakers when I play media player but the MASTER VOLUME control does not work at all. I have already disabled and unistalled the system onboard sound device. What should I do?

    <jbo:Row id="delrow" datasource="ds" rowkeyparam="jboRowKey" action="Delete" />
    <% } catch (JboException jboEx) { %>
    do something
    <% } catch (Exception ex) { %>
    uh-oh, this is bad
    <% } %>
    If I removed the try/catch block everything worked fine. Unfortunatlely, I need to try/catch block here. To work around the problem I changed the code to this:
    <% Row rowDelete = ds.getRowFromKey(params.getParameter("jboRowKey")); %>
    <% try { %>
    <%
    rowDelete.remove();
    %>
    <% } catch (JboException jboEx) { %>
    do something
    <% } catch (Exception ex) { %>
    uh-oh, this is bad
    <% } %>
    The second bit of code does the same thing (but it doesn't use a bean like I think <jbo:Row> does) and it doesn't cause the ClassCastError on subsequent errors.
    I really hope this helps someone else because it took me forever to get a workaround!

  • Problem with playback Device please help

    When im talking to someone on skype i cant listen to anything else but the skype call. If im listening to music or watching a video and i try to call somebody it says problem with payback device and won't let me call or answer a call. What do i do?

    I'm also having this problem, but with a fun side effect; if a program is running outside of the windows "desktop" app (so, for example, if the Skype app is making 'message recieved' noises) they'll still play. I have Windows 8, and I've seen some solutions about resetting the audio endpoint builder, but I don't know how to do that on Windows 8 and I can't find anything that'll tell me.

  • Serious problems with El7/8: please help!

    Hello all,
    I really hope someone can help me-I've had no luck whatsoever with the customer support team.
    I have been using El 3 very successfully for a couple of years. I recently upgraded to El 7 in order to be able to edit HD video and SD video together.  The software works fine, however if I come to move multiple clips at once along the timeline, I get the black circle with a line through, and a small white box. This means I cannot move multiple clips. For me, this makes the product unusable.
    I downloaded the trial for El8 and was please that this bug was not present. I have since ordered El 8 and installed it (a fresh install ith El 7 gone), however I have discovered that with this I cannot play any video in the monitor window! Again, this renderes the produce useless. I now have two pieces of software that are unusable, and I am receiving no help whatsoever from technical support. Please, can anyone assist?

    First thing to try...with Premiere Elements 8, Edit Menu/Preferences/General and uncheck "Enable GPU Playback". If that does not help, then check out the AdobeTech Note:
    http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/515/cpsid_51526.html
    Now, in the case of Premiere Elements 7, could you please go into detail about how you are "moving multiple clips along the Timeline"? Are you working on one track or mutiple tracks? How are you grouping these clips prior to the move? Where are you moving them to and from? Etc.

    Hi there,
    Thanks for your help. The GPU settings was the first thing I tried-to no avail. Alas, no such luck either with theTechNote.
    RE: el 7, I have been filming several scenes for a short film with the drama group I work with. Due to outside circumstances I have been editing back to front (so the last scene is currently at the beginning of the timeline etc.) What I am trying to do is select the clips and shift them to the correct sequential order on the timeline. I have tried highlighting all of them and clicking group, and simply tried dragging them as one big highlighted block. The clips are on seperate tracks, but I have never had any such problems with El 3 which I have used extensively in the past.
    What is of particular interest, is that if I select sauy 6 tracks there's not a problem, it's when i select ALOT of tracks I run into difficulty.
    I have also tried updating the graphics drivers recently for my GTX 285, which seemed to solve the problem on EL 8, only for it to then go back to what it was doing?!?
    Any help would be appreciated

  • ICloud problems with my iPad. please help me.

    Each time i tap on icloud in settings on my ipad, this is the message that i get. And my main worry is that the device can not be located using find my ipad/iphone, it appears offline though it will be connected to the internet and having 'find my ipad switched on. So i wanted to try turn it off and on again and when i put in my apple id password to turn off 'find my ipad', the same information on the screenshot appears. The other thing is that i cannot do icloud backups. I tried to erase and do a new setup and restore from my itunes backup but the problem persits. I am also having problems in signing in with my apple id in appstore and i cant download apps. How can i solve this problem. Thanks in advance.
    iPad 3rd generation, wifi only, ios 7.1

    Try resetting All Settings:
    Settings > General > Reset > Reset All Settings
    (This will reset the settings in the Settings app back to default)
    Is this a Wi-Fi only iPad?
    Have you tried connecting via cellular (if available)?
    Have you tried on a different Wi-Fi network?
    You can also try resetting (rebooting) your router. Unplug it from the wall for about 20 seconds then plug it back in, wait for it to finish booting and try again.
    If all else fails, restore.
    Backup your iPad, connect to iTunes on your computer and restore. Try restoring from your backup. If the problem still exists then the problem may exist in your backup also. To be sure, try restoring again, this time as a new device (not from a backup).
