ITunes file too big...problems with the move

So, like many people I purchased an external hard drive for my iTunes folder because it is taking up too much space off my hard drive. I followed the importation directions. It imported the song names, but not the artist and album. When I used the "get cd names/track info" function to connect to the cddb database, it gave an error message stating to redo importing the music off the cd's with itunes. That is how I got it into my iTunes folder in the first place (before I moved the folder to the external drive). Is there any way I can easily recover the album and artist info? I am hesitant to import any more cd's before I resolve this. Second question: I only bought an 80 GB portable external hard drive. I heard western digital's arent so great, but it was cheap. I think I am going to need one at least twice the size of this one, and portable at that (I have a laptop). Will I have this album/artist problem if I buy a bigger hd and push my iTunes folder to the new drive I will probably have to buy? The idea of entering in the song info for 800 songs doesen't sound too appealing to me....

Thanks for the reply
What I want to do is open a blank file and then add other images to it, 
adjusting the position and size of these images , this was easy in 4 but I
can't  seem to do it in 9. Any help would be greatly welcomed.
I will buy a bit more RAM and see if things speed up a bit

  • Satellite U300-13U - iTunes has detected a problem with the audio config

    Please can someone help me? I've got a U300-13U laptop and have just installed iTunes on it. However, when I open iTunes I get an error message saying that "iTunes has detected a problem with the audio configuration and may not play properly" That's an understatement - it doesn't play at all!
    I've uninstalled, reinstalled both iTunes and Quicktime but to no avail. I've searched and exhausted the iTunes support boards but got nowhere either. The sound is fine as I can play CDs with no issues at all. The only suggestion that I can get is that there may be a problem with audio device not liking Apple and vice versa.
    Does anyone have ANY idea at all as to what might be going on here? I'm completely out of my depth, I'm just a simple girl who wants to play her music!!!
    Thanks ever so.

    Hello
    I dont use iTunes so Im not an expert with this player but first of all you should give us some important informations:
    - What OS do you use?
    - Are you using the factory settings (Toshiba recovery disk) or your own Windows version
    - Do you have yellow exclamation marks in device manager?
    Ok, iTunes told you that there is a audio configuration problem so did you try to update the sound driver? If not, you should try it.
    Check the Toshiba website for an update and see what happens. Then post your result:

  • Problem with "The Movies" game DVD

    Ok, here is my problem.
    I bought the game "The Movies", at first it was working fine, but one evening, I tried to upload a movie and it just didn't do it. I tried 3 or 4 times, but I could never upload my movie.
    So I stop trying and the day after when I tried to play, I put my DVD in my computer, when I tryed to play, it says put the DVD in the computer, but the DVD was already in, so I took it out, cleaned it and put it back, but then the DVD never appeared on the desktop.
    I tried many other DVD/CD and everything works just fine.
    Then I delete everything from the game (maybe I shouldn't have) and tried again, but nothing.
    Later I learn that a Flip4Mac update was causing some problem with the game and I did something when installing a mod, I had the french version, but the .txt in the mod was in english, so I add, the english (en-UK) in a file.
    Now, I rebought the game + the expansion (The Movies + The Movies Stunts & Effects, the english version this time) and the same thing is going on, the "The Movies" DVD won't appear on the desktop, but when I put "Stunts & Effects" in it works fine.
    What can I do?
    Please help.

  • WRT1900AC: iTunes Sync still a problem with the firmware 1.1.8.164461

    So i *thought* the new firmware 1.1.8.164461 may have resolved the itunes sync problem, but it has not.  I have a Windows 8 PC, with iTunes 12.0.1.26 connected to a LAN port.  An iphone 5 w/ IOS 8.1.2 on the 5 GHz network.  Sometimes itunes can see the phone but it's unable to locate it while making a sync.  Or the phone can see my computer and the option is available to sync but nothing happens.  I have found that a power cycle of the router seems to resolve the issue.  I have noticed a perfomance boost with the 2.4Ghz network over the previous firmware.  I am so frustrated with this router I hope santa drops by with an ASUS in a couple weeks!

  • Reading TDMS files in Matlab - problems with the example code

    I want to use the TDMS files to store data and do offline analysis in Matlab, version 2009b (either on Mac OS10.6 or Windows XP).
    To test the data import in Matlab I tried the example from http://digital.ni.com/public.nsf/allkb/0EEADA99DC7D00A4862572E30037C3A2 , but without success.
    I tried either with and without the path definition (as explained on the page I referred to before) at the start, and got back the following errors:
    with:
    ??? Error using ==> loadlibrary>deltempfiles at 559
    nilibddc_m.i.
    Error in ==> loadlibrary at 452
        deltempfiles(delfiles);
    Error in ==> Read_TDMData at 7loadlibrary([examplePath '\nilibddc'], hfile);
    without:

        deltempfiles(delfiles);
    Error in ==> Read_TDMData at 36loadlibrary(NI_TDM_DLL_Path,NI_TDM_H_Path); 
    I found a few messages on the issue, dating from 2006 and 2007, that didn't lead to a satisfying solution and was hoping that, by now, there would be a solution to my problem.
    Thanks a lot

    Hi Musk,
    Thanks for your answer. 
    Unfortunately it didn't help as my problem is not discussed there. I have a problem with this line:
    loadlibrary(NI_TDM_DLL_Path,NI_TDM_H_Path);
    I said before that I was using 2009b, but I was mistaken, I have R2008a, but the 'loadlibrary' is opened in a 2008b editor (no idea why). On the Mac I have 2009b installed.
    Thanks

  • In desperate Need of support of an all too common problem with the xt912's

    https://vzwsupport.jive-mobile.com/#jive-discussion?content=%2Fapi%2Fcore%2Fv2%2Fdiscussions%2F808263
    First off,i tried to reply to the above link/thread,because my issue is IDENTICAL,so this below post,is what i tried to wright into the reply,though it wouldn't work...
    Hello, Please forgive me rehashing an old thread, but due to the fact that this is the identical-odd situation needed to reply to this....
    We have the xt912 and just got it back on refurb, for another one that had this identical problem. So we have had 3 of these,and two have had this same horrible issue.And it already is having these problems and we just got it not long ago....The hdmi/rotate-screen issue IDENTICAL to this....
    We have already had another Xt912 with the same exact issues,so no offense,this problem is getting very old.
    Could you please check my imei (it’s my sons phone) and possibly see if there is something you can do for us?  the phone is at the point to where it’s not safe for my son, as he needs to call us from his middle school sometimes, but it’s to the point to where this isn't even working anymore. The screen won’t turn and the dock message keeps coming up. I've tried 4+ hard resets, And these droids are getting very disheartening...   Especially with how much money we spend with you, versus some of our straight talk phones...
    Please let me know, and many thanks

    I am sorry to hear that you are having problems with your son's phone. I know you stated that you have reset his phone many times. Have tried running the device in Safe Mode? http://vz.to/JOEri7 are the steps to put it in Safe Mode. Safe Mode tells us if it is an application error or the device.

  • Lion: big problems with the network!

    Since updating to Lion, I am experiencing difficulties with the network. My Kyocera task alfa 2500 cannot communicate properly with the Mac: it does print but cannot send scan to the Mac, it is just impossible for the printer/scanner to find the Mac. I hear it could be a problem with FTP which is not supported by the new OS Lion. How can I solve the problem?? Or is Apple going to resolve this problem????

    Well, the problem relates to the Rosetta program eliminated by Apple in the Lion OS. When you try to rum the KM Scan to Mac.app you get:
    "You can't open the application KM Scan to
    Mac.app because PowerPC applications
    are no longer supported."
    So, I guess we (I encountered the same problem) will either have to wait out Kyocera-Mita for a scanner driver app, attempt write a new KM Scan to Mac.app for the Intel Macs; wait for somebody else to WRITE a new KM Scan to Mac.app for Intel Macs or just ***** about it.
    Not a rosey situation.

  • HT6195 Big problem with the last security update, how can I solve the problem?

    Yesterday I installed the last system update in my secondary computer, a Macbook Pro (OS 10.8.5, if I remember well), from that moment is impossible to restart it. How can I solve the problem?
    Today Apple is worst than Windows, but is considerably more expensive! I am seriously considering to change to Windows, in less than 3 months I had serious problems with two Apple computers and I changed 4 computers (always Apple) in less than 6 years.

    tmjavier,
    feel free to use whichever operating system best suits your needs. Since this is a user-to-user forum, whether you use OS X or Windows will affect no one’s bottom line here.
    Regarding your MacBook Pro, you can try booting it into Recovery mode by holding down a Command key and the R key as it starts up. Once the  OS X Utilities menu appears, select Disk Utility. On the left-hand side of the Disk Utility window, select your internal disk’s boot partition (typically called “Macintosh HD”). On the right-hand side, press the Verify Disk button if it’s not greyed out; if it is greyed out, or if it reports that errors were found, press the Repair Disk button. Once the verification/repair is completed, exit Disk Utility and select Restart from the Apple menu to restart in normal mode. Is it able to reach the login screen now?

  • Big Problems with the Serial Port

    I'm Spanish and my English is not very good, I'm sorry but I need your help.
    I want to connect two computers (my desktop and my handbook) with the serial port (COM2 in both sides).
    I have the cable.
    I have installed JBuilder 7 in both computers.
    I have installed "commapi"
    I'm running SimpleWrite.java (the example from Sun) in one of them and SimpleRead.java in the other.
    I don't get in any moment receive any data.
    I execute first SimpleRead and I can see what this process is waiting something. After, I execute SimpleWrite (many times), this process star and stop correctly but never the first aplication receives nothing.
    I am trying for four days, I am desespereted.
    I need your help is very important to me. I don't understand what is happening!!!!. This is my e-mail: [email protected]
    Thank you very much.
    NOTE: my handbook has just one serial port, before had a winmodem but it was eliminated.

    hi,
    when your notebook has only one port, how do u know that this port is COM2? I think u gave a wrong parameter for the SimpleReader or SimpleWriter so one send data to a port (say COM1) but the other receives data from another port (say COM2).
    regards,

  • Problem with the mov file of Nikon D5200

    Hello everyone :
    I just got some mov files form my friends' Nikon D5200.
    At first I was glad that it was MOV file and I don't have to convert them,
    but then I found out that when play those video in Final Cut Pro X, the image is choppy and broken.
    I snapshot two picture for example:
    I then play those video on different software, Like Adobe Premiere, Quicktime Player, Mplayer X....etc. And it was fine.
    and I also try to convert those video into another format with FCPX or Compressor, but it still looks choopy.
    So, is there anybody can help me with this? Or should I call out to apple company for help?
    Here's other details of those videos and my computer :
    imac 27" late 2012
    Nvidia GTX 680MX
    OSX 10.8.3
    Those Vidoes are 1080P 59.94P MOV files

    Hello:
    My fianl Cut Pro Version is the latest 10.0.8.
    I was using custom setting, and the setting is base on video itself. (1080P, 54.94 Frame Rate)
    And now, here comes a new discover:
    When I let FCPX determine the project setting base on the first clip, it didn't change anything, and still remain the FPS to 29.97i, like the picture below:
    But the truth is, those media are shot in Frame Rate 59.94, and Premiere will change the frame rate to 54.94 automatically, like the picture below:
    But in the premiere, although the graphic is fine, but the speed of playback is very lag.
    So i was wondering if it is the file's problem or not. But the QT can play it well, so I just don't know what is wrong....
    PS : I was wondering, what is the "first clip" mean? first clip which drags on the timeline? (Like Premiere), or first clips which import to the relative event?
    Thank you for you time!
    Russ H wrote:
    Like most DSLR's the Nikon compresses video to h.264 and there is no reason why FCP should create artifacts from those clips. If the play OK in QT and Pr, then it's not a file problem.
    What version of FCP are you using? Did you let FCP determine the project settings based on the first clip, or did you have custom settings?

  • Itunes files too big with converted songs - any help?

    Do anyone know how to avoid having extra files that are converted from increasing the size of my music folder? I mean when one convert to AAC, itunes convert the songs but keep the old and the new files together which increase the size of the folder. Say you have 50g of music and you convert all, you will have 100g. How can I prevent this please? Apple take note this is important.
    If any Apple development people reading this, take note of the followings:
    1, Volume to be the same regardless - the sound check aloneis not adequate.
    2, Files size stay the same after conversion, to allow one to keep original files soemwhere else just in case.

    You seem new to computers...
    If raising the screen resolution (Right-click the desktop>Properties>Whatever the last tab is {I forget}>Drag the slider to the right bit by bit until it looks perfect and not stretched {and if the screen scrolls when you move your mouse to the edges move the slider to the left until it stops that}) doesn't work, buy a newer monitor. (Seriously, 1024x768 or less is never enough screen real estate for anyone these days...)

  • Importing m2ts files but having problems with the audio layer

    Hi all, I'm new to the whole video editing side of things and so would appreciate some help.
    I've just bought myself a Canon HF200 HD camcorder, and a Sony Vaio notebook which came with Premiere Elements 7.0 pre-installed.
    For the last month I've been shooting footage, and just getting down to trying to edit everything and put a DVD together.
    The problem I have at the moment (and I've just started using the program, so everything is new to me) is that while I seem to be able to import the m2ts file format that my Canon records, only the video is imported into Premiere - not the audio.
    I can play all my videos in Windows Media Player just fine, with both video and audio.  So it seems my machine is able to read the files correctly in this program.  However, the audio seems to drop out when I import the file into Premiere.  The program was pre-installed in my machine, and when I go in to have a look at the audio settings, there doesn't seem to be an ability to change the settings to something different.
    So far I've spent a long time googling and trying to find a solution, but with no joy just yet.
    Appreciate any assistance the anyone can offer.
    Thanks.
    Jeff

    Hi there
    I think I sorted it. If you look at the Premiere Pro forum, on the right is a box with a link to "Forum Best Practices".
    Click the image below for larger view.
    Being a good first time poster, you read that. But the problem is, it places you inside the Forum Comments forum. So when you choose to Create a Discussion, you aren't creating the discussion in the Premiere Pro forum. Instead, you are creating it in the Forum Comments forum.
    Looks like perhaps a forum mod needs to work on this and create a duplicate thread in the forums in question.
    Cheers... Rick

  • TOO Much problems with the new mavericks

    I did an upgrade from OSX LION  to OSX MAVERIK, and now my Mac book pro is a disaster.
    Initially Powerpoint 2011 stopped working all the time, then I discovered that by pressing the app store icon, it doesn't work  than mean I can not update anything.
    Besides, do not operate the capture of images, the terminal an most of the aplications in the utilities.
    Hopefully MAC will  fix this soon, because it is not normal this kind of problems on a mac,
    Is the most disastrous UPGRADE that I ever  made: [email protected]
    Besides downloading should be similar to the  LION, most of us need the software (DMG) in our machines.
