ITunes with another ripper - keeping the library up to date

I use dbPowerAmp to rip my music, it handles music in LOTS of formats and converts them in a very efficient way. When it is done ripping the music, it places the songs in my My Music subdirectory. I asked iTunes to "Keep iTunes Music Folder organized", but it does not "discover" any newly ripped music. Is there a function in iTunes where it will discover new music and add it to the library?
There should be
If not, what is the best way to handle this?

That is a useful program, I gave a small donation to the Paypal thing.
It could use a few tweaks, UI wize, but it did the job

Keeping the library up to date?

In my household we keep ALL our music ( ~15,000 tracks, MP3's and AAC's) on a networked hard drive so it can be accessed from any computer in the house. All the music is carefully organized in a very specific folder scheme. All the computers in the house run iTunes, thus they each have their own iTunes Music Library.xml and iTunes Library.itl files.
When a new song is added to the collection we have to manually go through the house and add it to each computer's copy of iTunes. But sometimes someone forgets or the computer isn't booted or it's travelling so the collection on the external drive gets out of sync on that PC's iTunes. We end up with songs in our collection that the iTunes on a particular PC doesn't know about.
Is there anyway to update or refresh the library on a particular PC so it can make sure every song on the networked hard drive is in the library?
Thanks in advance.

Yes. Use the 3rd party folder watching program iTunes Folder Watch. Unlike iTunes itself, iTunes Folder Watch will notice if there is new content in any designated folder, and will automatically add it to the iTunes library.

How do I share a playlist from my itunes library with another user on the same computer?

I would like to share a playlist with another uuser on the same computer. We have separate itunes libraries on the same computer. How do gey my playlist from my library to hers?

I'm not sure, but maybe if you activate home sharing. It should also share playlists, not only files.
The only other way I can think of is to export the playlist and import for the other user.

Keeping the library small with vaults

Still waiting for the Apple Store to get the first shipment of 1.1. They have no idea when that would be.
I do mostly model shooting and once I'm done with the images I will burn them to DVD and get them off my computer. Only a few will remain which will be used for my book and web.
So the question is:
After a shoot I create a vault with the latest shoot, burn it to a DVD. If I remove the vault from Apreture, will that keep the library to a manageable size?
By naming the vault with the models name and date I will remember what's on the DVD. Is there anything else I need to keep in mind?

I think you are confusing the vault with the Aperture capability to export projects. Sounds like you want to use the export projects capability to burn your DVDs. Then you can remove them from your Aperture library and re-import the project from DVD whenever you want to work with them again.
I'm pretty sure that each time you restore a vault, it replaces THE ENTIRE Aperture library, so using multiple, project oriented vaults as your backup scheme is a recipe for disaster. Also, if you are going the DVD export route, I'd strongly recommend you export two copies of the project before deleting the files from aperture. So you have a backup and a backup-backup. Can't be too careful with your digital assets.

How do I move organized photos from dropbox to iPhoto and share with another user on the same mac?

I have about 3,500 photos sitting in dropbox and just purchased my first mac yesterday. My husband and I each have our own Ipad and our own user id's on the mac. I moved two of the folders to Iphoto and it shows up on my screen in the right folders. However, on my Ipad, it shows all of them under one Photostream and not organized. They don't show up on my husband's "side of the computer" at all.
So my questions are:
1. How does one mirror their file organization on the Ipad?
2. How does one share all of the folders with another user on the same Ipad so they can view folders, and add pictures to the folders if they like?
Thanks!

1. How does one mirror their file organization on the Ipad?
If you use the Photo Stream, the organisation in iPhoto will be lost - there is just one endless stream. YOu could sync your photos using iTunes. Then you will see the synced albums in the Photos.app on the iPad.
See this link: iOS and iPod: Syncing photos using iTunes
How does one share all of the folders with another user on the same Ipad so they can view folders, and add pictures to the folders if they like?
On the same iPad? Do you mean on the same mac?
If you want to share an iPhoto library between two users on the same mac, the iPhoto library should be on a separate disk partition or even better, on a separate external disk. Then you can set the flag "Ignore ownership on this volume" to avoid permission problems. Both of you will be able to browse the iPhoto library and can edit the photos within.
See this support document: iPhoto: Sharing libraries among multiple users
If both of you want to keep separate iPhoto libraries but share the photos, you could share selected albums as Shared PhotoStreams and invite each other to browse them. This would require iOS 7. Do you have iOS 7 on your iPad? Each Shared Photo Stream will be shown as a separate album on your iPad .

I had to replace my i4s with another one from the apple store.shouldn't i be able to go to the cloud to get all my contact info and other stuff that was stored in the cloud from the first phone?

i had to replace my i4s phone with another one from the apple store. i need to download all my contact info and other stuff from the cloud to my new phone.i see a screen that says RESTORE I PHONE and are you sure you want to restore the iphone to its facory settings? all of your media and other data will be erased. they i tunes will verify restore with apple. After this you will have the option to restore your contacts and other settins. The question is will it restore my first phones info? I am hesitant to delete anything lol.

No. If you made your backup to iCloud, iTunes will not restore from an iCloud backup. See:

TS4268 i've backup in itunes with another phone number activation , now i want active with new phone number without losing old backups , what can i do for this problem ?? :(

i've backup in itunes with another phone number activation , now i want active with new phone number without losing old backups , what can i do for this problem ??

If I get this right, you've ported your phone number to AT&T with the purchase of the iPhone. That is considered opening your own account under your name. Your brother's account is not ported to AT&T unless you used his SS# instead of yours. Your brother still has his account under Verizon Wireless, all you did was use your cell phone number to when you opened your own AT&T account.
If you don't want to use your Verizon Wireless phone #, my suggestion is to call AT&T customer service and explain that you want a new phone number instead of the ported Verizon number.

How do I transfer photos from iPhoto to another computer keeping the "events"

How do I transfer photos from iPhoto to another computer keeping the "events"

Do you want to transfer the entire library? If so just connect the two Macs together and copy the iPhoto Library from Mac A to Mac B and put it in your Pictures folder. Be sure to rename it if you already have a library in the destination folder so as not to overwrite.
Under no circumstances should you import a library into another library.

New Windows 8.1 Connected to company NAS, now switching identities with another computer on the NAS

So I recently installed a new Windows 8.1 computer and mapped a network drive to the company NAS. Now, this new computer (let's call it Joe) has switched certain features with another computer on the NAS (let's call it Marie).
- Joe and Marie have switched histories in Chrome
- Joe has Marie's Chrome bookmarks
- Marie can see and access Joe's mapped network drives
- Joe's Chrome automatically brings up Marie's saved IDs and password for email and online databases
However
- Joe's computer identity remains Joe in computer properties
- Other software besides Chrome are acting in the normal, separated fashion
"Joe" has been using the computer a bit since I installed it, so I don't know everything that has been done to the computer. What would make PCs partially switch identity like this, and how do I fix it? Is there some way that
Windows 8 maps network drives differently? Is this a virus (both computers have BitDefender)?

I will have to double check again to make sure I'm telling the truth (I've gone through so many iterations in the past weeks I can't remember which way is up :-) but I believe that the drive was showing in offline files, but that attempting sync (even
repeatedly) did not bring the drive contents back. Which also begs the question, if the user has not made the drive "available offline" why would it be acting like it is? I've considered actually making it available offline, but I don't want
all of that data on his laptop and I'm also concerned that we'd then have more problems as he continues to work for hours and days on his offline copies.
I should also add that I was able to work with the client on Friday and we were able to determine that the VPN is NOT dropping as we're able to ping devices on the LAN side immediately once the files disappear.
Cheers,
Mike

If i associate my apple id with another email will i lose my icloud data or i will still be able to access all my stored data with the new linked to my apple id email address?

hi there
if i associate my apple id with another email will i lose my icloud data or i will still be able to access all my stored data with the new linked to my apple id email address?
i mean i am not signing up for a new account, just changing my old id primary email which is my apple id login into account.
in other words, www.icloud.com will recognize that it is still me if i login on the site? will i be able to see there all my stored information?
and if i change my password, does it automatically changes the @icloud.com password which should be the same as my apple id pass?
thanks

After opening the email it shoud of had you enter the Apple ID and password. Using certian web browser's can cause errors. You can adjust securty settings (big pain) or you use another browser. Using Firefox or Safari should do the trick.
Let me know if using Firefox or Safari resolved it.

Hello Lcw2610,
I would recommend deleting the affected movie from your iPad, and redownloading the movie.
