ITunes File types and locations

This should be a simple question but I can't find the answer. I want to create some play lists and make them accessable to my TIVO. I can not find the file name extension for play lists or find where they are stored on my computer. I store all my music on a NASDISK but only see the MP3 files there.
Any assistance is appreciated.

Thank you for the replies. This is yet another reason I only use iTunes to synch my iPod and not for real music work. I'll just use my Windows Media Player to create the playlists. They probably have a format other software can use without addons.
Maybe time to get a Zun or Zen and trade off the iPod anyway. My wife really likes her Zen.
Continued success,
SUBROC

I received a gift card and when I redeemed it an error message said that I had some itunes files missing and that I needed to reinstall itunes. Will I still have all my credits when I download itunes?

I received an online gift card for Father's Day. When I tried to redeem the gift then I received a error message saying I had some itune files missing and I needed to reinstall/download itunes. Will I still have my previous purchase credits after downloading and reistalling itunes?

You will, because the credited funds are on your iTunes account, not the application. When you reinstall iTunes just configure it with your old iTunes account and your credits will be there waiting for you.

Dreamweaver setting wrong file type and creator codes

First of all, I'm running Mac OS X 10.5.2 on an Intel-based
Mac, with Dreamweaver CS3 9.0 build 3481.
I have a site defined where I connect to my web server via
FTP. On my server, I just upgraded my forum software to PHPBB 3.0,
which created a new /forums/ directory. My plan is to use
Dreamweaver to download that new /forums/ directory to my local
site where I can edit the files. Inside the forums folder are
several types of files, like ".php" files, ".htm" files, ".gif"
files, etc.
So, upon downloading the /forums/ folder to my local machine
by dragging and dropping it (in Dreamweaver) from the remote site
to the local site, I noticed that Dreamweaver insists on setting
HFS file type and creator codes for files it recognizes, based on
the filename extension.
I've connected to the same server using the Finder and
Transmit, and copied the remote /forums/ folder over to my local
machine. Neither of those copies have files with file types and
creator codes set, meaning they aren't actually set on the remote
files and that this is indeed something Dreamweaver is doing on the
fly as it downloads the files.
I'm wondering if there's any way possible to disable this
behavior, and just download the files like they are on the server?
(File extension only). To make matters worse, on my Intel-based
Mac, it's not even setting the proper codes, as you can see in the
following image:
http://homepage.mac.com/mdouma46/images/dreamweaver.png
Notice for the ".php" document, it's attempting to set a file
type of 'TEXT' and a creator code of 'DmWr' (DreamWeaver's creator
code), but because the Dreamweaver developers didn't bother to take
into account the byte-ordering differences between PowerPC Macs and
Intel Macs, the codes are written in reverse: 'TEXT' becomes
'TXET', and 'DmWr' becomes 'rWmD'. (If you're going to use
low-level routines such as FSSetCatalogInfo() to set the file types
and creator codes, you need to call CFSwapInt32HostToBig() on the
OSType values before doing so, to make sure they're in Big-endian
format).
Anyone know where the conversion information is stored?
Thanks in advance.....

Creator codes are totally deprecated in snow leopard. as for a workaround you can use something like this.
<pre style="
font-family: Monaco, 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;
font-size: 10px;
margin: 0px;
padding: 5px;

width: 720px;
color: #000000;
background-color: #ADD8E6;
overflow: auto;"
title="this text can be pasted into the Script Editor">
on open these_items
repeat with this_item in these_items
tell application "Finder"
set the_file to POSIX path of (this_item as alias)
tell application "System Events"
set default application of file (the_file) to ("Main HD:Applications:Preview.app" as alias)
end tell
end tell
end repeat
end open</pre>
save it as an application and drop files onto it to set them to open with Preview.

HT5409 I asked if AVCHD files can be played on Mac and the support site says to simply click on the icon and quick time will play it. A big lie. Just say it won't support the file type and tell us what apps to get.

I asked if AVCHD files can be played on Mac and the support site says to simply click on the icon and quick time will play it. A big lie. Just say it won't support the file type and tell us what apps to get. anybody?

I also had issues opening AVCHD files on case-sensitive filesystems.
You can try these steps to solve the issue:
Right click on the AVCHD file and select 'Show Package Contents'
Right click on the BDMV file and select 'Show Package Contents'
Rename index.bdm to INDEX.BDM (it seems that all files in the BDMV folder should be in UPPERCASE for Quicktime to open the AVCHD file).
Go back twice and try again to double-click on the AVCHD file (Quicktime should open a window showing the multiple clips, as expected).

Saving multiple file types and sizes

I design logos using Illustrator. After the design is approved I need to save it in multiple different file types and sizes. (ie. Jpg Hi, Med, Lo; tif; eps; pdf)
Does anyone know of a script that can do this?
Thanks,
Mark

I don't know of an existing script that does exactly this. You could make one though. Saving an Illustrator document to both 'eps' and 'pdf' formats is very straight forward once you know which options you want. Personally I would use Photoshop to create the required 'jpegs' Illustrator does not export to any given resolution only scaling at 72dpi… Open either the 'eps' or 'pdf' in Photoshop resize and save 3 times.

My download was an unknown file type and cannot be opened

Sounds like the file extension was dropped when you saved your converted document. Make sure that the .docx (Word) or .xlsx (Excel) extension appears after your file name when saving your document.
You should be able to rename the document you already converted by adding the appropriate extension. The file should then open as expected.
Let us know how it goes!

Nano3rdgen Copying playlist from itunes to ipod and it says it can't copy certain songs to ipod cos of file type.These problem songs all from same album, all ACC file type and all copied fine when I copied the album itself few weeks ago-help!

When copying playlist from itunes to nano3rd message comes saying 9 of songs can't be copied to ipod cos of file type. These 9 are all from same album, all ACC and all copied fine when I copied the album itselm some weeks ago. Rest of playlist was ACC too. P.S. album is a CD-R copied version-is this an issue? HELP I AM DESPAIRING!

I never laughed in all my life. Here I was, inserting the cd Dance with Me, thinking it's not going to copy the whole thing. yeah, right.
Sure, it prompted me, Do I want to replace the songs, so of course I said "no, don't replace the songs". and guess what it did. It copied the whole cd (at least I got my two songs).
I went into the itunes library, and sure enough, all the songs were there twice. So what did my intelligent brain think of? I just unchecked the doubled songs and stuck my ipod into my computer and it synched up and I got what I wanted.
Now what did I do wrong when it prompted me. I clicked on "don't replace" and it replaced them anyway.
Am I dumb? or is itunes stupid?
thanks, Melody

Mac OS 10.9.3 - password needed to change files names and location

How can I make it stops?
Thank you.

PS/CC won't load plug-ins; -file types, proper locations?

I've been trying to install the plug-in Fractilious into a customer's machine, and it claims to have installed, but is not there. Add on/ extension manager also cannot see it because it is not .zxp (?), file type.
My customer also relates that only about a third of plug-ins show up in the pop-down list.
I would really like to see a list of all locations that are recommended or mandated, and the file types required, if such exists.
TIA,

ITune file type

I have approximately 2,000 songs managed in by iTunes. Some have been downloaded as mp3 and others as AAC file types. Is there an easy way to seperate the library by file type?

Control-click on the column header. In the box that comes up, check File Type. This will add a column in iTunes. You can then sort on that column by clicking on the column header.

ITunes File Sharing and Time Machine

Does Time Machine backup the documents in the iTunes File Sharing pane on an iPad? If I deleted an app or file by mistake (or if my iPad crashed), would I be able to recover the file shared documents through Time Machine backups?
Thanks in advance!

Anything actually stored in iTunes, docs, apps, ect, should be backed up. If you are bacing up the iPad to iTunes, those back ups files would be in Time Capsule (although I confess, I've never had to extract one).
As for apps themselves, they can always be redownloaded (both on the iPad and in iTunes on the PC).

File to File and then Call ABAP Program and pass file name and location

Hi
I am new to PI and am working on the following requirement and some guidance would help:
A file is picked up from a third party server using FTP and is put in an SAP server in a specific location. After I have put in the file successfully, I need to call an ABAP program and provide the name and location of the file for further processing by the ABAP program.
Although I am familiar with File to File, how can I add in the ABAP call with the filename and location? I do not want to pass any other information to the ABAP program.
Thanks for your help.
Manoj

I think I get what you're saying. This additional file would have the file and the path in it's content. I would then use this as a source (FCC?) for Mapping with the RFC. Right?
Exactly and yes, FCC would be helpful
Would you have a sample OS script to do the above?
Actually it depends on the operating system on which your PI system is standing. For instance for Windows, you might try with the following as a start point (but I was not able to test it, so I can't guarantee it will do the job):
cmd.exe /C "%f %F > C:\target_directory\%DATE%_%TIME%.txt"
In case you needed more, try googling on "windows batch script" or similar.
Hope this helps,
Greg

Suppress dialog, preset destination file name and location

In acrobat 4 I could write a registry setting that would preset the output
filename and location, print to adobe pdf writer, not get prompted, and the
file would be created with the name and in the location I set.
[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Adobe\Acrobat PDFWriter]
"PDFFileName"="X:\\Output\\myFileName.pdf"
What is the equivalent in version 8?

Thanks. I will read through it more. Having only worked with the PDFWriter, this is what is new to me: "PrinterJobControl" [HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Adobe\Acrobat Distiller\PrinterJobControl]"C:\Program Files\Windows NT\Accessories\wordpad.exe" ="c:\MyPDFoutputFileName.pdf" This seems like like I am presetting my application output, correct? >>>> Programmatic control Prompting can be turned off programmatically by adding a key to the Windows registry. This method applies to the creation of only one PDF document by a specific application for the current user. To use this method, add the following registry key: HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Adobe\Acrobat Distiller\PrinterJobControl This key takes as subkeys: (Default)application The (Default) entry is reserved for possible future use and is not to be used. The application subkey is the full path of the application for which prompting is to be turned off. The value of the application subkey is a REG_SZ value that is the full path of the output file. For example, the following registry script would turn off prompting for the next printing performed by wordpad.exe, printing to the file c:\MyPDFoutputFileName.pdf: Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00 [HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Adobe\Acrobat Distiller\PrinterJobControl]"C:\Program Files\Windows NT\Accessories\wordpad.exe" ="c:\MyPDFoutputFileName.pdf" Note:Though the programming language may require that your backslashes are escaped (for example, "c:\\MyPDFoutputFileName.pdf"), the value of the registry entry must use single slashes. This key, once established, remains until used and is removed once the Windows API function StartDoc(HDC hdc, CONST DOCINFO* lpdi) has successfully completed. Also note that the output folder path must already exist with read and write access for the current user and the destination file must not exist.<<< <Bernd Alheit> wrote in message news:[email protected]... > Look at the document 'Acrobat Distiller API Reference' of the Acrobat SDK. > There read the section 'Disabling prompts for output file names'.

Quicktime refuses to release file type and icon associations

Has anyone else had this problem and how do I fix it?
Changing the preferences doesn't fix it. File type associations in windows doesn't fix it. Help?!

Ok, I kept getting nagged to upgrade QuickTime. So I did. Now QuickTime 7.4.1 has hijacked ALL my Windows image file associations, and won't give any of them back, no matter how many times I change QT’s settings. Why does QT even have a picture viewer? Who would use it? Or pay for it, as QT constantly nags you to do? Windows already has picture viewers, and there are thousands more free ones on the Internet. And why does Apple think that QuickTime is better equipped to handle my PhotoShop files, rather than my PhotoShop software?
I'm really peeved! If I uninstall QuickTime, my web browsers generate errors. But if I don't uninstall, I can't use my other programs! So at this point, the product borders on being MALWARE. Why would Apple do this??? Will the next QT version also include MS Office, email, database, and text file association-hogging viewers too, so that my pain is complete?
