ITunes folder corrupted - advice needed please!

Hi, I have had problems with iTunes breaking songs and losing album artwork for several months now and I have come to the conclusion that I must delete the 'iTunes' folder in 'My Music' (I have tried much else to no avail). I am almost 100% certain that is the route of the corruption. The problem is, although I can put up with losing my playlists and play counts, I have an iPhone and obviously need to retain its settings and apps. Is there a way that I can go about deleting this folder, while retaining these things?
Any help would be very appreciated. Thanks,
James

Seems like noone has the answer about corrupted files - iTune creates a real mess in organising music files you have collected - I believe it is iTune the cause of all corruption problem with your music folder (iTune shoud never organise anything on a windows platform) - if you have found a solution to access the corrupted folder and recover all files I am interested - then adios iTune - don't want to use it anymore - liked it - now despise it
Bad iTune

Try running the .dmg installer for the most recent version of iTunes, downloaded from the Apple website:

If my itunes is corrupted and needs to be reinstalled, will I lose all my songs? What do I need to do to keep everything?

I cannot open itunes. When I click on it a message pops up saying that itunes is corrupted and needs to be reinstalled. If I reinstall it will I lose all my songs? I have over 2,000 songs that I cannot lose! What do I need to do to fix it and keep all my songs?

Aha, a somewhat different question. See Recover your iTunes library from your iPod or iOS device.

Let's try a repair install of iTunes first.
Restart the PC. If you're using Vista or 7, now head into your Uninstall a program control panel, select "iTunes" and then click "Repair". If you're using XP, head into your Add or Remove Programs control panel, select "iTunes", click "Change" and then click "Repair".
Can you launch your iTunes now?

Hi
That screen grab helps a lot. There’s a much easier way of doing what you’re doing.
Remove all your tabs and set the text in justified paragraphs.
I’ve typed in dummy text in the example I made below, but after “19.1” put in a space and put your blinking cursor after the space and before the ’N’ of ‘Notices'.
Then hold down the Command key and hit Backspace (on Mac at least - it’s the key between the Inverted commas/ apostrophe key and the return key).
The text will jump into place the way you want it to.
Hope that helps
Paul
PS You can set a tab, instead of using a space, in the description I gave above. So, after 19.1 or 19.2 or 19.185 etc etc insert a tab, then hit the Command Backspace after every paragraph number and they'll all line up exactly together. You'll find that editing text within the paragraphs
after you've set it will be LOADS easier this way.
You can put the tab anywhere you want it to be using 'Command-ShiftT' and putting a 'left align' tab just after the number. Just type the Command Backspace after the paragraph number and it'll work

My music is not in my iTunes folder and I need to move both to another external hard drive.

Hello,
I have my music library in a folder on an external hard drive, my movies are in another folder and my iTunes folder is in yet another folder on the same external hard drive. I am moving everything to another hard drive. How does one accomplish this in this instance? I know I can move the iTunes folder but that assumes that all my media is within that folder. How do I move everything without beguiling iTunes?
I hope this question is clear enough.
Thanks,
Dean

Hi, I take it you mean the Optical drive?

ITunes Folder Corrupted

I have tried to move my I tunes file from one drive to another to free up space and it has resulted in losing all my music. A new ITunes folder which is empty now appears and when connecting my IPOD it states that the IPOD is not registered to that I Tunes.
How do I get the original folder back and reverse what I have done?

I have tried to move my I tunes file from one drive to another
Do you mean the iTunes folder (not file)?
and it has resulted in losing all my music
The music is gone off the hard drive or it does not show up in iTunes?
Hold Shift and launch iTunes.
Select Choose library.
Select the _iTunes library.itl_ file in the iTunes folder you moved.

Advice needed please

Hello there,
New to the forum and cannot find help anywhere else.
I have lost the calculator software and cannot reinstall/retrieve it.
Also, any software I try to install doesn't work - HotSync stops and says the application wasn't responding to HotSync.
Any advice would be much appreciated - thank you
Post relates to: Palm Z22

1. It's as good, if not better.
2. According to Apple, the same material was used on the 5th Gen iPods as the Nano. You can draw your own conclusions on scratching issues.
3. Yes.
4. Yes.
5. No, you need to upgrade to iTunes 6 in order to get video functionality. You won't need to reinstall playlists (as you put it). Playlists will remain intact after the upgrade from iTunes 4 to iTunes 6.

Advice needed please regarding a new phone line

Hi all,
I would appriciate any advice please. I will start from the beginning i placed my order with BT on 26 july calls and broadband they said they had to send an enginner out and the earliest date was 16th August which has been i waited in betwwen 12 and 5 and no enginner arrived i then rang bt i was so angry.

I need advice on the socket i have one in my flat but what i dont have is a wire that goes accross the wall i am not sure if that lead is in the socket i have not touched the socket since i moved in 2 years ago i do not want to touch it as me and leads do not get on lol!! would the enginner put the cable in if there isnt one???
Thanks in advance

'I need advice on the socket i have one in my flat but what i dont have is a wire that goes accross the wall i am not sure if that lead is in the socket i have not touched the socket since i moved in 2 years ago i do not want to touch it as me and leads do not get on lol!! would the enginner put the cable in if there isnt one???'
Have you ever had a working land line in the flat, is the flat a new(ish) build? It is possible the lead in, that is the wire that connects the socket to the outside Block Terminal or Distripution Point is behind the wall.
Most new builds will have Openreach or the developer put the wiring in before they put the wall in to hide it so there isn't un-sightly wires everywhere. My house is a new build, a mid town house and the master socket is at the back of the house in the living room but the connection point outside is on the front of the house, there is no visible wire so I assume it goes up the wall, across the hall ceiling into the living room then down the wall again to where it is. I know it won't go under the floor because I visted the house a few times during the build process and the floor was put in before the phone socket was.
I suppose its nice you can't see the wire but I am unsure what they will do if it ever needs replacing as I don't know if its feeds through duct type pipeing where they can pull it through?
Anyway to answer your question if it needs a cable then yes the engineer will put one on.

XPS 2720 - advice needed please

Hi Guys
I recently bought an XPS one 2720 - 4440s version with msata 32gb 1tb 7200 hard drive, I think that is what I have, want to ditch that and just buy either 256gb or 512gb ssd and have os on that so I get the best from this AIO, is that possible to do, can I just do a clean install on new ssd
my questions are?
is msata better than sata 6gb/s - do I buy an msata ssd and plug that in to the motherboard
read lots of post online saying sata 6gb/s is better?
I have been on dell site and used the facility auto detect and it is unable to detect my machine?
I also took the service tag off the back of the AIO and it is not recognised, is this a problem?
I would if possible like to install windows 7 on to this AIO, can this be done,
any advice or help is much appreciated, probably have lots more questions but this will do for now, wish everyone a great weekend
best
Paul

Connection Advice Needed Please

Hi All
I moved house over a week ago and asked to transfer my BT Services over (but thats a whole other shambolic issue). At my previous house, my HH5 was connected to the Master Phone Socket and I had Infinity 2 Unlimited. However, the new house already has FTTP installed - with an ONT box and back up battery box on the wall.
I've not been able to get any advice from BT, but can someone tell me if I just plug my devices straight into the wall mounted box or do I plug my old HH5 into the ONT box and use my old wireless SSID as usual? Or do I still just plug my HH5 into the main phone socket?
I did not ask for the FTTP super fast service, so they should be activating my old 76MBps Infinity 2 service.
Many thanks
Liz

Hi EWINMK17
If you have FTTP and already have the ONT (Openreach optical network box) and backup battery installed, then all you need to do is connect your Home Hub 5 via the WAN port (may be coloured red) on the back of the Home Hub 5 to the LAN1/Port1 port on the ONT with an ethernet cable.
Are there any lights light up on the ONT?
Here's some information about the lights on the ONT box: http://bt.custhelp.com/app/answers/detail/a_id/36945/~/fibre-home-phone-service%3A-lights-on-the-ope...
Have a look at page 11 on the user manual on how to connect your HH5 to the ONT here http://btsupport.custhelp.com/ci/fattach/get/3309418/1381227399/redirect/1

Russian and Chinese Flash movies - general advice needed please

Hi all -
This is a plea for some general 'jumping off' advice. I am an experienced Flash developer but now have a request to convert an existing xml-fed movie into both Russian and Chinese. I speak neither of these languages so we have had the content of the movie translated by a professional translation service.
The movie contains both png/jpgs with embedded text - created in Fireworks and also (for the bulk of the content) external xml files. I still need to be able to develop in an English environment - so purchasing a full version of Flash/Fireworks in Russian/Chinese would be folly. How should I go about this? If it is a matter of fonts - where should I get them from? And are there any considerations to be met with regards the xml files? Basically, I would really appreciate some general advice on this subject as it is completely new ground for me.
Much obliged,
Hugh

Thank you. Having the airports all in proximity was the key and, of course, I eventually found the same advice in an apple help file. I set the new AExtreme up as WDS main with an ethernet disk for backups and music. An old AExtreme as WDS remote serves the Cube by ethernet and a usb printer. An AExpress as WDS remote serves one stereo. The other AExpress is WDS relay serving another stereo and helping the network reach the office where the last old AExtreme is WDS remote with another USB printer. The 3 mac laptops are happy. I have yet to try any PCs.

Oracle "guru"'s advice needed please :-)

I think I need an Oracle "guru" for this situation. 2 issues:
1) Installed Oracle on a Standalone desktop with Win 2K Professional. Database Config. Assistant created Database - 9i Version of Oracle Standard Version. I get 2 errors: Ora 12541 and ora 12154 - all relating to TNS No Listener or failed to resolve service name. Now, I'm quite the newbie but I can't understand why I would need to configure this stuff on a standalone machine. It also asks me for ID and password and when I put the correct one in, that's when I get the No Listener error, however, I did indeed configure one. My Tsnnames.ora and listener.ora do have the database in them and everything in those files seems correct. The DB name is SteveTe and the PC (or host I guess is "Tower"). How can I configure or fix this?
2) I used Migration Workbench to "import" an Access DB into Oracle which was successful BUT I also expected to see the database in Enterprise Manager and want to use SQL + to do queries with it. How can I do this? Currently I cannot do it and the DB doesn't show in Enterprise manager. Furthermore, if I attach it manually, it still asks me for a ID and Password and it doesn't have one so how do I get around this?
If someone can help, please send me some detailed instructions to get me out of the Oracle "quicksand" that I'm in. Thanks,
Steve

I would suggest using XSL to define your presentation layer. This will be much faster than accessing tables. It also allows you to change your presentation on-the-fly with different XSL files.
Storing the XML in the database is a good idea. Especially in 9i which will have native XML support with the use of a new datatype called XMLType. It uses CLOB's under the covers, but will give you native access to your XML data.

HTTPS error in JDK.1.4. Advice needed please.

Hello,
I am using JDK 1.4. with JSSE 1.2.
I have created a test server certificate and would like to transfer data over HTTPS using Tomcat 3.2.4
However,when compiling the 'HttpsHandler' class with jdk1.4 I am getting an error which I was not getting with jdk 1.2.2.
The Error while compiling is in jdk 1.4 :
HttpsHandler.java:250: reference to X509TrustManager is ambiguous, both class com.sun.net .ssl.X509TrustManager in com.sun.net.ssl and class javax.net.ssl.X509TrustManager in javax.net.ssl match
static class RelaxedX509TrustManager implements X509TrustManager
^
HttpsHandler.java:103: reference to HttpsURLConnection is ambiguous, both class com.sun.net.ssl.HttpsURLConnection in com.sun.net.ssl and class javax.net.ssl.HttpsURLConnection in javax.net.ssl match
HttpsURLConnection hpCon=null;
^
HttpsHandler.java:139: reference to KeyManager is ambiguous, both class com.sun.net.ssl.KeyManager in com.sun.net.ssl and class javax.net.ssl.KeyManager in javax.net.ssl match
KeyManager[] km = null;
^
In my HTTPSHandler Class, I have added the code to trick the server
into accepting the server certificate which works fine with jdk1.2
and JSSE 1.02.
My HttpsHandler code is as follows:
public class HttpsHandler
public static String ec(String sMess)
String response=null;
try {
Security.addProvider(new com.sun.net.ssl.internal.ssl.Provider());
System.setProperty("java.protocol.handler.pkgs","com.sun.net.ssl.internal.www.protocol");
URL url;
String uri = "https://" + sURL + ":8443/AHTTPS_USERPWD/servlet/Recieve_Https_Data";
url = new URL(uri);
HttpsURLConnection hpCon=null;
try {
KeyManager[] km = null;
TrustManager[] tm = {new RelaxedX509TrustManager()};
SSLContext sslContext = SSLContext.getInstance("SSL");
sslContext.init(null, tm, new java.security.SecureRandom());
SSLSocketFactory sslSF = sslContext.getSocketFactory();
hpCon = (HttpsURLConnection)url.openConnection();
hpCon.setSSLSocketFactory(sslSF);
}catch(Exception e){}
static class RelaxedX509TrustManager implements X509TrustManager
public boolean checkClientTrusted(java.security.cert.X509Certificate[] chain)
return true;
public boolean isServerTrusted(java.security.cert.X509Certificate[] chain){
return true;
public boolean isClientTrusted(java.security.cert.X509Certificate[] chain){
return true;
public java.security.cert.X509Certificate[] getAcceptedIssuers() {
return null;
public void checkClientTrusted(java.security.cert.X509Certificate[] chain, String authType) {}
public void checkServerTrusted(java.security.cert.X509Certificate[] chain, String authType) {}
Please can any one advice or tell me why isnt the code compiling with
jdk1.4
A response is much appreciated...
[email protected]

I think your problem is with the fact that the JSSE is now part of the JDK 1.4. It sounds like you still have the JSSE jars in your classpath.
When the JSSE was integrated with 1.4, the package names changed from com.sun.whatever to javax.whatever.
At this point you want to get rid of any old JSSE jar files and replace the references in your code that refer to com.sun.whatever to javax.whatever.
Cheers
Brian
