MediaSource and PC Music Libr

Where on the PC does Creative MediaSource store the PC Music Library database and under what name? I have set the program to backup every 7 days, but being a bit paranoid, I also on a regular basis physically back up to CD any documents I don't want to lose in case of a hard dri've failure.
OS: Windows ME - Creative MediaSource v. 2.03.04
Thanks. Eva

For Windows 2000 and Windows XP, the database files are stored at "C:\Documents and Settings\YourName\Application Data\Creative\Media Database".
For Windows Me/98SE, I think they are stored at C:\Windows. There should be a folder called "Application Data". I suggest you search your harddisk for the file "PCML_.dpm" and backup the whole "Media Database" folder. Note that there is also a "JetFileBackup" folder within the "Media Database" folder. I don't think the "JetFileBackup" folder needs backup because it just contains some DLLs from Microsoft.

Transfer from MP3 disc to PC Music Libr

Can anyone advise on how to transfer tracks from an MP3 disc to PC Music Library in Media source? I use the Media source and transfer the tracks to my PC but can't access the MP3 tracks later to burn a CD or transfer to the Zen Micro. The location of the track stays in the D:\ ... dri've and not transferred to the hard disk under C:\...
I have no problem with audio CDs as I just rip them. What should I do with MP3 files?
Thanks.

In Windows Explorer, copy the music files from your MP3 CD into your music directory (say, "C:\Music"). Then, in Creative MediaSource, import the music files from "C:\Music" into MediaSource's PC Music Library.

MediaSource Crashes after loading libr

I just got my Nomad Jukebox Zen Xtra today, and I installed MediaSource and hooked up my player and put my music files onto it and it all worked just fine. Now suddenly, when I go back to make a playlist, anytime i click on one of the files in the window after MediaSource has loaded my library, it "has encountered an error and needs to close." I've tried uninstalling and reinstalling, downloading all the most recent upgrades that I could find but to no avail. I've also tried connecting to it by opening the NOMAD explorer icon in My Computer and it crashes as well. It will let me add music files to it as long as I don't click on any of the files in the library screen, which is just completely confounding, as I can add songs, just not remove or edit them...
I hope theres a way to fix this.
Thanks for your time,
Jake

Have you tried doing a restore of your current library? Tools, Settings, PC Music Library, Restore.
or:
Create a new library by going into Tools, Settings, PC Music Library, New... You'll have to import your music files into this new library but it should stop the crashes.

How to stream video AND sync Music + iPhoto from the same iTunes library ?

Hi everybody, my iTunes library is full of Music and with movies "linked" outside itself (to a external hard disk connected to my iMac), I'd like to sync this iTunes library to my AppleTV as follows:
1) the video should be set in streaming mode hence itself not being copied to ATV hard disk;
2) the music and my iPhoto library should be sync'ed (hence copied!) to ATV hard disk.
How could I achieve that ?
Thanks a lot.

Custom sync with Photo set to sync preferentially and all music syncable checked in the device music tabs.

My storage is mostly full of a category labeled "other." I'm out of memory to the extent that it won't even allow me to update apps. I have moved all photos over to my computer and my music streams through the cloud. Any advice on how to fix this problem?

I don't know why it stopped working but it happened a month or two ago but the option on this phone that's usually all the way to the left when you select your device but now its not and I don't know what caused it. ive already tried troubleshooting my problem but have found no help.

Hello Salmomma,
Thank you for the details of the issue you are experiencing when trying to connect your iPhone to your Mac. I recommend following the steps in the tutorial below for an issue like this:
iPhone not appearing in iTunes

Additionally, you can delete music directly from the iPhone by swiping the song:
Delete a song from iPhone: In Songs, swipe the song, then tap Delete.

I bought an iphone 5C and my music from my dell laptop doesn't let me sync my music into my phone. When i first bought it I accidentally pressed don't show again on itunes. How do I download itunes 11.1 or later now? I have been trying for atleast a month, but I can't find any solutions. I had payed a lot of money on those songs and albums, and now I can't even sync it on to my phone. I know it was stupid of me to press that button, but I need help on trying to get it to sync. -Mohima

You need to have the latest version of iTunes on the computer, version 11.1.3 to be able to handle syncing a newer phone with iOS 7. The iTunes on the iPhone has nothing to do with syncing and is installed by the iOS.
Go to iTunes on the computer, click on Help, Check for updates to update iTunes on the computer, or go to to www.apple.com/itunes/download and download and install the latest version of iTunes to correct your problem.

I am going to buy a Mac desktop and want to know how to transfer all my purchases and uploaded music from my PC. How can I do this to ensure all videos and music transfer over and not just purchases?

I am going to buy a Mac desktop and want to know how to transfer all my purchases and uploaded music from my PC. I originally started using iTunes on my PC so it has everything I have ever purchased or uploaded from my own collection of music.
How can I do this to ensure all videos and music transfer over and not just purchases? Do they do it at the Apple Store or at Best Buy? help!

How to open and play music on Beats Audio in my new HP ENVY PC

I bought a new HP ENVY PC that comes with Beats Audio.
How to I open it and play music?
How to I import music to Beats Audio?
Thanks fr your help

Hi,
Beats audio does not provide a program for playing music. You can open Beats audio in Control Panel and configure sound characteristics using the various options available such as the graphics equalizer.
You can play music by opening Windows Media Player or using Cyberlink PowerDVD.
You can also "Google" media players for other programs.

Why can't I drag and drop music from a folder on my PC into my iTunes window?

Why can't I drag and drop music from a folder on my PC into my iTunes window?
I have not found any article that has answered this question. They have come up with things like open the side bar and it will work, or you are using wrong format of music. Now this all happened when I upgraded to iTunes 10 and has not worked since and it worked fine before. Music format is correct, I have even gone as far as copying a file already in iTunes and trying to add it again. As soon as the files enters the frame of iTunes the music files icon the pointer is carrying turns into a circle with a slash through it.
ITunes Ver. is 11.1.5.5 Windows Ver. is Windows 8.1 Pro with Media Center
Files I have tried adding are standard MP3, 256 kbps purchased AAC Audio file, MP3 converted by iTunes into a 256 or 320 kbps AAC Audio file. None can be draged and droped but all can added by going to File/Add File to Library... or File/Add Folder to Library...
Add items from your computer to your iTunes library
Do either of the following:
1. Drag a file or folder from the desktop to the iTunes window.If you add a folder, all the files it contains are added to your library.
2. In iTunes, choose File > Add to Library, locate a file or folder, and click Open.
I can add files and folders by doing number 2 above but can not doing number 1
I have gone as far as uninstalling iTunes and reinstalling per apple procedures below.
Steps
1. Remove iTunes and its related components from the Control Panel
Use the Control Panel to uninstall iTunes and related software components in the following order and restart your computer:
iTunes
Apple Software Update
Apple Mobile Device Support
Bonjour
Apple Application Support (iTunes 9 or later)
Important: Uninstalling these components in a different order or only uninstalling some of these components may have unintended effects.

I had this problem on Windows 8.1.1 and iTunes 11.2.2.3
To resolve it from within Itunes I did : Edit, Preferences, Sharing.
I took the tick out of "Share my library on my local network"
Click OK.
Closed iTunes/
Reopened iTunes and I can drag and drop.
I went back into Edit, Preferences, Sharing and put the tick back and clicked OK.
Works fine now.

Google Maps Navigation and Google Music problem

Hello,
I love the LG G2 but it has a few concerning issues. First, is the squealling, hissing, cracking, popping, etc. during phone calls, but I have seen that brought up by others.
The second problem that I've discovered, and the most upsetting to me, is that when using the Google Maps Navigation and Google Music All Access at the same time, whenever the navigation voice instructs a direction, the music shuts off. It is then silent until the navigation voice instructs the next direction OR when a new track starts. This was not a problem on my droid bionic, so it must be an LG G2 issue. This is a huge problem to me as I travel a lot for work and usually use GPS to find where I'm going, and I subscribe to Google Music All Access so I listen to music in the car. This problem makes that impossible to do (I have to choose).
A related issue, is that my Alpine CD player displayed track information (Artist, Song, Album) with my Droid Bionic, but with the LG G2 it displays 'UNKNOWN'. I find it hard to believe that a two year old phone has capabilities that a brand new phone wouldn't, so I'm hoping these issues will be fixed with a software patch.
Has anybody else experienced these issues, or does it work fine with your LG G2?

Hawaii is a part of the USA so you will be fine there. Mexico on the other hand, you will be roaming for data there and could see extra charges for international data.

Ok, I had a glitch, forced to restart, and lost my train of thought.
Reinstalling iTunes should fix the major issue that might have gone wrong, perhaps your explaination points will disappear and everything will be peachy again.
But if they don't, you can open the XML file in iTunes Folder using a Text edit program to see what the common pathname is to the iTunes Music folder or where your content is located.
If you moved the itunes folder, it needs to go back.
I can't download iTunes to my Vista virtual machine to test it out right now because iTunes is down, so I can't verify the pathname, perhaps your issue and the iTunes being down are related somehow?
You don't want to import all your music again, but it's a option, but you lose all your playlists, that's what I'm trying to recover.
If oyu don't have a whole lot of playlists, then simply select all the explaimation point music and delete, select File from the menu and import your itunes folder again.

Hello there MizzouTrojan,
If I understand correctly you want all 6 devices to have access to a single calendar that each device gets notifications for and can edit. You can do that with an private iCloud shared calendar. First sign into www.icloud.com and use these steps from the following article to share a calendar:
iCloud: Share a calendar with others
Share a calendar privately
Click the Share button to the right of the calendar name in the sidebar, then select Private Calendar.
Note: You can also share the same calendar publicly. For instructions, see the next task, “Share a calendar publicly.”
Type the invitee’s email address in the Add Person field and press Return.
Click the pop-up menu with the invitee’s name and choose access privileges (View & Edit or View Only).
For each person you want to share the calendar with, repeat steps 2 and 3.
When you’ve invited everyone and set their privileges, click OK.
Invitation emails are sent from your iCloud email address to the participants you specified.
Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.
Cheers,
Sterling
