Looking for iTunes Tips and Tricks (Windows)

Hi, Everyone,
Two weeks ago, I found out about CoverFlow in iTunes, and I am sold. Although I have had iTunes installed on my computer for years, I have only used it to transfer music to my iPod Nano - until I saw CoverFlaw and finally decided to switch from Winamp, which I have been using exclusively since March of 1998, to iTunes.
I have spent hours reading the Help file of iTunes and spent even more hours looking online for iTunes tips, tricks, and tweaks, but cannot seem to find too many of these for Windows iTunes. Can anyone recommend Web sites (or forum posts) that have these. Also, if you'd like to post some in this thread, I would greatly appreciate it as well.
Thank you,
Victor Ly

    thank you
    You are very welcome. I will mention one thing not to do. Don't start down loading any of the system clogging freeware that is out there. Learn to do real Mac trips; not to use the sub-par software that is out there. I'll find the thread that I mentioned above for you. Edit: Here it is: http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=10430346&#10430346. Check out especially the third post on this thread. These are the kinds of things I would advise your to start learning about.

    Snow Leopard = OS X 10.6.x
    It is Not available as a download... It is a Paid Upgrade.
    Do this first...
    Check that your Mac meets the System Requirements for Snow Leopard...

    If so... Purchase a Snow Leopard Install Disc...

    We are trying to install ADF runtime lib, from jdeveloper it is asking server home which is on UNIX (/opt/oracle/product/10gas) and it is not taking... our connection is sucess.. Alternate option it is saying is install from zip.. Do you think we are making any mistake..
    If you are deploying to Oracle Application Server Release 2 (10.1.2), you have to perform some additional steps before you can run your ADF applications:
    2. You need to install the ADF runtime libraries on the application server. This is because the ADF runtime libraries that were shipped with Release 2 (10.1.2) need to be updated. To install the ADF runtime libraries, see Section 34.12.1, "Installing the ADF Runtime Libraries from JDeveloper". "
    Can someone please help? thanks lalitha

  • How can I install 'fortune' for XFCE4's 'Tips and Tricks' on startup?

    There is an option (tips or fortune) for the content of 'Tips and Tricks' on startup, but actually no any 'fortune' texts supporting it. How can I make up?:rolleyes:

    Thank you VVVVV much! Not only I got the 'fortune', more important, the 'tips' can be displayed as well! (See another post http://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=32960 , just wonder if it was too stupid to ask, otherwise why nobody has dropped a line on it so far)

  • Looking for itunes equilivant

    as topic says im looking for itunes equilivant so i can sync music to my ipod nano i tryed banshee but it doesnt find my ipod by some reason so got some other tips ? 
    i know i can use virtualbox and windows and itunes but thats just such hassle to go thru

    Did you try to boot your computer with your iPod already connected?
    Edit: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=103071
    *NOTE ABOUT ITUNES* - If you use gtkpod to update your iPod, gtkpod does not use the exact same method of writing the iTunesDB file that iTunes does. So, if you use your iPod with both windows and linux, you may make your iTunesDB unreadable by gtkpod.

  • Must-know BlackBerry Z10 and BlackBerry 10 tips and tricks

    Check out the following must-know BlackBerry Z10 and BlackBerry 10 tips and tricks to get the most out of your new BlackBerry 10 smartphone.
    1) BlackBerry 10's Built-In Screen Shot Feature
    Capturing a screen shot on a BlackBerry 10 device is simple. Just hold both the volume up and volume down keys simultaneously for a couple of seconds until you hear a shutter sound. Screen shots are saved to your BlackBerry 10 camera gallery.
    2) Volume Up/Down Keys as Media Controls
    You can use your BlackBerry 10 device's volume up and volume down keys to skip through songs in your music librery. To enable this feature, open your BlackBerry 10 Settings by dragging down from the top of your display while on your Active Frames screen or a home screen panel. Choose Settings from the dropdown menu and click System Volume. On the following page, slide the Music Shortcuts button to the On position.
    3) Volume Up/Down Keys and the BlackBerry 10 Camera
    You simply tap your BlackBerry Z10's display with the camera or video camera open to snap an image or start recording a video clip. But it's sometimes easier to use the volume keys. Just tap the volume up or volume down keys with the camera open to snap and image. And you can also use these keys to start and stop video capture when your camera's video mode is enabled.
    4) Instantly Launch Voice Control
    The BlackBerry Z10 can initiate lots of different actions based on voice commands thanks to its Voice Control app. And you can instantly launch Voice Control by holding your device's mute key for a couple of seconds.
    5) Launch BlackBerry Camera from Lock Screen
    BlackBerry 10 lets you quickly launch your camera application from its lock screen, a feature that can be valuable when you want to take spur-of-the-moment shots. A camera icon appears in the bottom-right corner of the locked display screen, and you can hold it for a couple of seconds to launch the camera app.
    6) Advanced BlackBerry Hub Inbox Controls
    The BlackBerry Hub is the central inbox for all of you various BlackBerry 10 application notifications and messages. You can access basic Hub controls by clicking the Menu key at the bottom right of your Hub screen. (The Menu key looks like three dots stacked on top of each other.) But you can also access some advanced BlackBerry Hub controls from the date bars that appear in the inbox stream at the start of each new day.
    Just hold a finger on a date bar to bring up controls that let you skip to the start of the past day, the start of the next day, jump to the top of the BlackBerry Hub, jump to the bottom of your BlackBerry Hub or mark all prior messages as read.
    7) Speedy BlackBerry 10 Navigation
    The BlackBerry 10 OS can be broken down into three main components: The BlackBerry Hub; the Active Frames screen; and your application panels. You can do navigation through these components using a basic set of swipes and gestures. But you can also use the tiny slider tray that appears at the bottom of the Active Frames screen and all of your home panels. Just tap a specific panel in the slide to navigate directly to that panel without scrolling. Touch the Active Frames square, which is composed of four smaller squares, to jump directly to your active apps page. Or tap the Hub button, which looks like three horizontal lines on top of each other, to navigate right to the Hub.
    8) See Your Battery Life Status as a Percentage
    The BlackBerry 10 OS does not currently allow you to set your battery-status indicator to show a specific percentage, only a battery icon. But you can check your device's hardware settings for a more specific battery status. Just open your device's Settings by sliding down from the top of your Active Frames or application-panel screen and choose Settings from the dropdown menu. Then click About. On the following screen, change the Category menu from General to Hardware. You'll see a battery percentage listed in the Hardware information.
    9) BlackBerry 10 Boot Status as a Percentage
    Whenever you restart or power up your BlackBerry 10 devices, a BlackBerry logo appears with a status bar that encircles it. The status bar shows you start-up progress, but you can also view that progress as a percentage number. Just hold your finger anywhere on the BlackBerry logo and a progress percentage appears.
    10) BlackBerry Z10 Keyboard Tips, Tricks and Shortcuts
    You can type special characters using the BlackBerry 10 virtual keyboard by holding your finger on top of a letter with associated special characters (e, a, i, o, u, y, etc.), and then sliding your finger over to the character of your choice.
    Quickly sliding your finger downward from the top of your keyboard to its bottom cycles through the number and character screens so you don't have to tap the number/character screens button, which can slow down typing.
    And you can delete an entire word instead of just individual letters by swiping leftward from the backspace key toward the center of your keyboard.

  • I've got movies on my computer on itunes, however my parents wish that i use my laptop for itunes stuff, and i cant figure out how to get those movies to be able to sync with my ipod again, it wont recognize that I have them. Suggestions?

    I've got movies on my computer on itunes, however my parents wish that i use my laptop for itunes stuff, and i cant figure out how to get those movies to be able to sync with my ipod again, it wont recognize that I have them. Suggestions?

    While you're in itunes, with the leftside window open, click on Apps. Then, look across the top middle of your itunes screen. You will see several choices: All, Iphone/iPad Touch, Ipad, Ipod Games, List, and Updates. 
    Clicking on each of these gives you a different view. 
    When you select ALL you will see all of your apps. When you select Updates you sill see only the apps that need to be updated. When you are in Updates you will see the Update button in the lower right corner.
    Hope this helps.

    It'd be totally cool if we could share tips and tricks with each other!!!
    I've had a llook at the new ABAP sections and I suppose its okay but it needs beefing up!
    If someone'd be good enough to share their nuggets of knowledge eith us then I'D BE MOST GRATEFULL.
    Also I'd like to see more ABAP tutorials!!!!

    Again if anyone'd like to take this forward then great!
    Take care y'all

    Hi Steven,
    Craig's links are goods and he made me laugh
    Just to let you know - I've just submitted something to SDN that might be the kind of thing that you were looking for. I'll probably need to amend it so that it conforms to any SDN standards but then it'll be available for everyone to view/use.
    So sit tight and I'll let you know how the work progresses.
    Regards,
    Hafeez

  • NAS on a memory stick - tips and tricks

    Hi!
    I'm assembling home NAS (mostly for CIFS, probably CVS, probably some kind of multimedia streaming) with OS (and it is AL) placed on an USB flash drive. What I have already found (I mean tips and tricks):
    - /var has dedicated partition,
    - some fs dirs will be mount with tmpfs: /tmp, /var/lock, /val/run, and even am thinking about  linking  /var/log to RAID1 which will be used, or to tmpfs also,
    - of course, noatime (do we need 'flush' or any other options?),
    - dd is suitable for easy backing up and restoring of bootable USB flash drive (I have tried - it works! ).
    I would be happy if everybody having experience in this specific area will share discovered tips and tricks. If it takes matter, HW is (already bought): Celeron E3200, 2GB DDR3, 1TB + 1TB WD HDD for RAID1, uATX motherboard with solid caps, Scyther cooler, and so on.
    Thanks in advance!

    cybertorture, thanks for participation!

    Yes, cooling and silence are main priorities. I have found old server 4U case as a base for some DYIing I'm also apt (before any experience) to avoid turning spin off.
    cybertorture wrote:4. specifications above will get 1 mbit with no worries, as for heat i strongly recommend u cpufrequtils
    Probably it's a typo, I think you mean 1GBit. OK, will look at cpufrequtils.
    cybertorture wrote:now its time for mine question, why the hell u use usb as system device Oo?
    It's sufficient, silent, very cheap (in comparison with SSD), didn't eat SATA slot  and is very handy for backing up and restoring.
    Another question: HDDs has so called "Seek Mode 3" with less seeking noise (and less performance). Have not found a way to tune it.

    (1) Download the Windows Installer CleanUp utility installer file (msicuu2.exe) from the following Major Geeks page (use one of the links under the "DOWNLOAD LOCATIONS" thingy on the Major Geeks page):
    http://majorgeeks.com/download.php?det=4459
    (2) Doubleclick the msicuu2.exe file and follow the prompts to install the Windows Installer CleanUp utility. (If you're on a Windows Vista or Windows 7 system and you get a Code 800A0046 error message when doubleclicking the msicuu2.exe file, try instead right-clicking on the msicuu2.exe file and selecting "Run as administrator".)
    (3) In your Start menu click All Programs and then click Windows Install Clean Up. The Windows Installer CleanUp utility window appears, listing software that is currently installed on your computer.
    (4) In the list of programs that appears in CleanUp, select any iTunes entries and click "Remove", as per the following screenshot:
    (5) Quit out of CleanUp, restart the PC and try another iTunes install. Does it go through properly this time?

  • Office 2013 APP-V Tips and Tricks

    Hi there, 
    I got Office 2013 working with APP-V 5.0 Sp2 and rolling it out globally. 
    Out of the box nothing goes wrong, but i'm testing a lot and whenever I unpublish and do not delete the old programdata directory my computers go nuts. 
    Does anyone have any tips and tricks for troubleshooting the Office 2013 APP-V Package? 
    For Example I unpublished the Office 2013 APP-V package because I needed to update it with a connection group and add an excel plugin. After I updated the excel plugin and connection group, the connection group was configured succesfully. Whenever I try
    to open Office 2013 on a already used account it won't start without an error message. 
    When I log in as as different user everything goes fine. 
    However everything i'm trying to fix this for a particular user on the computer fails. 
    Manually removing the packages gives an error. Something with a rollback error. Really strange. 
    Does anyone have tips and tricks on rolling out App-v and publishing/unpublishing the application and modifying application connection groups. 
    This is driving me bananas because we have a dynamic changing environment. Out of the box it works fine but don't try to change anything because the computer goes nuts. 

    So I found out this value:     <Wait RollbackOnError="true" Timeout="30"/>
    So if I perform the remove-appvclientpackage command I guess it sticks on this because something in the script goes wrong but how do I found
    out what goes wrong? 

  • I have paid for itunes match and have now lost all my music of my iphone except what I paid for from itunes, 964 songs gone not at all happy.  Can anyone help

    I have paid for itunes match and have now lost all my music off my iphone except what I paid for from itunes, 964 songs gone into the cloud. Can anyone help please?

    Enabling iTunes Match does not delete music from your computer. Why do you think it is now not in the iTunes library if it was before? If all of your music was in the iTunes library then it is also now in the cloud if iTunes has completed it's scan and all the music meets the match requirements. Enable the iCloud Status column in the iTunes browser by switching to Song view and pulling down View > View Options. Select iCloud Status then close the small window. Sort on the new column. Your music should be listed as "purchased," "matched" and "uploaded." Some tracks may be "ineligible." Post back and let us know.
