Match not using home computer as library

I recently change my iTunes library path to my external drive. After this my home machine is using the cloud as its source for music. Anytime I add new music, (that I do not buy from iTunes) and load it, it does not go in the cloud, including play lists. How to I make my home machine the source for music that iTunes Match goes too.

If your main music library is on an external drive, you should open that library by holding option key whilst opening iTunes. You should add new music to this library and let match update it.
You can then reopen iTunes, holding option key and selecting the library on your computer. This will show all music that you have in the cloud.

How do I added my music to another computer thats not my home computer???

Are you wanting to add music to an iTunes library on another computer? That shouldn't be a problem. Just import it or rip the same way you would on your iTunes library on your home PC.
Or are you wanting to extract content from the iPod into this new/different iTunes library? If so, see this excellent user tip from another forum member turingtest2 on different ways to extact the media on your iPod and back into iTunes.

AFP-High CPU Load-Not Using Home Directories-10.5.6

We recently rolled out a Leopard File server (AFP, SMB services only) this past Monday using 10.5.6. We have about 30 AFP and 15 SMB users. We have 5 Apple XRAIDS connected through a Sanbox 5200 switch to the Leopard server. We are not using home folders for the users.
Similar to some users in this article (http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=1685965&tstart=0), I have noticed an increase to 100% CPU usage in just a few hours, and the second day 200%. Although the server does keep allowing new logons, performance is being affected. As noted by others, manually disconnecting all active or sleeping connections does not lower the CPU usage.
I though that following the suggestions in this article (http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1765) about disabling Allow Host Cache Flushing in the XRAID performance tab would help, and it did, but just for a short while, and then at about noon, when the XRAID had been accessed for about 6 hours, and the 20th AFP user logged in, the CPU usage spiked back to 100%.
I am wondering if this is related to the number of AFP connections (more than 20), or if I have some client machine causing havoc when it logs in.
Here's my XRAID configs:
Use Controller Write Cache
Not Allow Host Cache Flushing
Use Drive Write Cache
Read Prefetch: 8 stripes (512 KB/disk)
Fiber Channel:
Speed: Automatic
Topology: Automatic
Firmware: 1.5.1/1.51c
At this point, I really am stumped as to why the AFP service won't let go of the CPU, even when users are kicked off. I haven't added any of my XRAID shares to the private portion of Spotlight, but the volumes have already been indexed long ago, and since then I've rebooted several times, and not many new files are getting created any way.
At any rate, I don't think this issue has anything to do with Home Directory sharing, as I'm not using them.

I'll also mention that most (95%) of our clients are still using Tiger 10.4.11. We have very few Leopard clients (10.5.5 & 10.5.6).

HT5312 I tried to download a song but Apple is saying I have not used this computer before

I tried to download a song but Apple is saying I have not used this computer before and that in order to downloas the song I need to "verify my identity" by answering some securiry qiestions.
This is wrong because I have downloaded scored of songs on this computer but I answered the security queations anyway, only to be told I have answered incorrectly.
But the anwers were correct.
Anyone any ideas what might be happening?
Thank you.

Have you re-installed or updated the OS on that computer ? There have also been the occasional post from other people when it hasn't been the first purchase.
If it's not accepting your answers then the page that you posted from has instructions for how to reset them i.e. if you have a rescue email address (which is not the same thing as an alternate email address) set up on your account then steps 1 to 5 half-way down that page should give you a reset link.
If you don't have a rescue email address (you won't be able to add one until you can answer your questions) then you will need to contact iTunes Support / Apple in your country to get the questions reset.
Contacting Apple about account security : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5699
When they've been reset (and if you don't already have a rescue email address) you can then use the steps half-way down the HT5312 page that you posted from to add a rescue email address for potential future use

I am running out of hard drive space so I clear 32GB of space at midnight, went to bed. When I wokle up I had no space left even though I had not used the computer, the system.lg is FULL of stuff and I have no HD space anymore? What's eating it up?

WORD TO THE WISE
the OmniDiskSweeper was a very helpful download, because it laid out the HD and all the files on it in a "largest to smallest" fashion. When I did this I found that I had an inordinate amount of memory being taken up in my Mail Data folder, this did not make much sense so when I dug deeper I found that a 59MB scanned file that I had emailed 3 weeks ago had not been delivered, so the computer was retrying every minute and saving the history of what it was doing, so it was saving the 59MB file as well as the log about the 59MB file and hence for the last 3 weeks it's been chewing away at HD space recording the activity of the undeliverable file.
I deleted the Data record folders and removed the yahoo account from My Mail and reinstalled it with proper IMAP information and the HD is secure and holding at 331GB of free space. Like it ought to be.
I love the fact that if something very strange is happpening on your MAC there is a REASON....find it and fix it, and move on. In the PC world you would reboot 20 times, call some guy in India who will ony try to sell you a new subscription or warranty for $99 and never solve anything.
I am at rest once more, thanks for the tip

I did not use my computer yesterday, and now all of a sudden, Firework does not open at all after clicking on its icon or starting as a program. I did not download any upgrades or anything else, and I have Norton 360 version 3. I can open Internet Explorer, but that's not my default browser, so I have no problem with the Internet connection.
What could be the problem, how can I restore my browser without losing my bookmarks, settings, etc?

If you close Firefox, then start Firefox in Safe Mode, does the problem still occur? For instructions on starting in Safe Mode, see [[Safe Mode]]. Extensions can sometimes be the cause of problems. If the problem does not occur in Safe Mode, then you can disable your extensions one-by-one until you find out which one is causing the problem. See [[Troubleshooting extensions and themes]] Update Firefox, see [[Updating Firefox]]

Firefox crashes - even when not using the computer

Firefox crashes - even when not using the computer
Sometimes I can walk away from the computer and only have one tab open (e.g. Facebook) and when I come back to the computer a few hours later, Firefox has crashed for no reason.

Unfortunately the linked crash report is empty (@ EMPTY: no crashing thread identified; corrupt dump) and doesn't include any data, so it is not possible to find the cause of the crash.
Did you recently submitted other crash reports that were submitted and show a crashing thread?
See:
*http://kb.mozillazine.org/Firefox_crashes
*https://support.mozilla.org/kb/Firefox+crashes
Start Firefox in <u>[[Safe Mode|Safe Mode]]</u> to check if one of the extensions (Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Extensions) or if hardware acceleration is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Appearance).
*Do not click the Reset button on the Safe mode start window or otherwise make changes.
*https://support.mozilla.org/kb/Safe+Mode
*https://support.mozilla.org/kb/Troubleshooting+extensions+and+themes
Create a new profile as a test to check if your current profile is causing the problems.
See "Creating a profile":
*https://support.mozilla.org/kb/profile-manager-create-and-remove-firefox-profiles
*http://kb.mozillazine.org/Standard_diagnostic_-_Firefox#Profile_issues
There may be extensions and plugins installed by default in a new profile, so check that in "Tools > Add-ons > Extensions & Plugins" in case there are still problems.
If the new profile works then you can transfer some files from the old profile to that new profile, but be careful not to copy corrupted files.

Art work not matching when using home sharing on ipad

it seems as of recently the video art work is not matching when i use home sharing on my ipad 2. i seemed to notice this about a week ago, up till then the art work matched. the art work is correct on my apple tv 2. it seems to be an ipad issue. i have tried resetting the ipad but all that does is shuffle the art work around again.
any idea as to how to fix this? many thanks in advance.

I figured out my own problem. Thanks dmule you're a genius. All I had to do was turn off home sharing on my iPad and then turn it back on. Now all the video art work matches their proper movies.

Since I downloaded the most recent version of iOS, my iPad and iPhone do not have all the music (from CD's) anymore that I have on our home computer iTunes Library. How can I get all our music onto the music libraries on the iPhone and iPad? Thanks!

Hi
Since we downloaded the latest version of iOS on our iPad and iPhone, and synchronized our music collection in the Cloud, we can no longer see on our iPad and iPhone the music from our CD's that we have on our home computer's iTunes library. We can only see music in the iPhone and iPad library that have been purchased on iTunes. How can we get all our music from our computer's iTunes librbary visible on the iPhone and iPad? Thanks, Nick

HT4623 I do not have home computer and I neef to update my iPhone software and when I go into my settings I dont have the option to upgrade and I am not able to get any new apps because of the old software I have.. I do not have access to a computer, I ha

I have a iPhone 4 with version 4.1 and I need to do a software update but I do not have a home computer to use my I tune account but I do have wifi on my iPhone but when I go into my settings it does not give me the option to do upgrade, please help me!

You have to use a computer to get from iOS 4.1 to iOS 6,
which is the current version. Any future updates from iOS 6
will be done over the air using wireless. Use the computer of
a friend, Apple store, or at work - if allowed. There is no way
to do the update without a computer and iTunes.

If I just downloaded itunes to a computer that is not myoriginal home computer and plug in my ipod, is there anyway to keep my music? or add the music to my new home computer?

So I have a Ipod touch and an iphone 3g s. I originally used my friends mac as my home computer for both to add music etc..I have now downloaded itunes to my new computer at home. is there any way to add the music from my ipod & iphone to my computer, the itunes i have? or will i loose all of the music?

You can manage music among different computer:
Using iPhone, iPad, or iPod with multiple computers
- You can only sync to one computer/iTunes library. If you want to make the new computer your syncing computer you need to transfer all your iTunes libray to the new computer and capy/move the iPod backup to the new computer.
- You can transfer iTunes purchases to the new computer by:
iTunes Store: Transferring purchases from your iPhone, iPad, or iPod to a computer
- You can transfer other music by using one of the third-party programs discussed here:
new PC: Apple Support Communities
The iPod backup file is located here:
Mac: ~/Library/Application Support/MobileSync/Backup/
Windows XP: \Documents and Settings\(username)\Application Data\Apple Computer\MobileSync\Backup\
Windows Vista and Windows 7: \Users\(username)\AppData\Roaming\Apple Computer\MobileSync\Backup\
You may need show hidden files turned on
- Sometmes you can make a backup on the new computr by authorizing the new computer for the iTunes account(s) uses on the iPod and right clicking on the iPod in Devices in iTunes on the computer and select backup.
- One you have al the stuff on the new computer, restore the iPod from backup if you have a backup. Otherwise you will have to restore to factory defaults/new iPod and loose all your app data.

I have an iMac that has no connectivity with the mouse. I have replaced the batteries in the mouse. As a result, we can not use the computer as the mouse won't move

I have an iMac which the mouse has lost connectivity. Batteries on mouse have been replaced and green light on mouse is on.
I can now use the computer as it does not respond to mouse or it appears to the keyboard. Just not sure if it is a problem with the computer its self?
Thanks

I would highly recommend you run a test by trying another mouse with the iMac and see if that fixes it. That would tell you the problem is Not with the iMac itself.
Hope this helps
