Moving music from one folder to another.

Okay so here is the deal, I was stupid when I first started using iTunes and I didn't know what i was doing, long story short I have three different folders on my computer that have iTunes music. I want to move all of that music into the one generic My Documents/My music/iTunes folder. I know i can individually drag each song and then locate it, however that isn't practical for 200 songs. Is there any other, faster, more efficient way of doing this?
Thanks

Welcome to AD!
Use the itunes menu > File > Library > COnsolidate Library command.
If your itunes preferences > Advanced tab > itunes music folder is set to the generic location
My Documents/My music/iTunes folder
and
the copy files preference is checked, they will get copied over without itunes losing their new path.
Make sure songs still play before delting hte old folders.

Moving Stack from one folder to another?

Is there a way to keep a stack together while moving it from one folder to another. When I grab the stack and drop it to a folder, I view the folder and the images are no longer in a stack. It would save me a lot of time if they would stay stacked. Am I missing something?
Thank you.

Well your code is unreadable because you didn't post it properly, but I'd guess you've fallen into the old multiple-delete trap in a new way. It's like this:
To start with you have messages numbered 0, 1, and 2, let's say. So you write a loop that lets i run from 0 to 2 and delete message number i in the loop. What really happens? The first time through the loop you delete message number 0, after which you are left with messages numbered 0 and 1. The second time through the loop you delete message number 1, after which you are left with message 0 only. The third time through the loop you delete message 2, which isn't there and you get that message.
That's just a guess, I didn't have the patience to read that ugly unformatted code. There are two ways to do the multiple delete properly, if that's actually your problem: (1) run the loop upwards from 0 and always delete message 0; (2) run the loop downwards from N-1 to 0 and delete message i.

Hi Reddy,
If you are moving files in two libraries in different sites, then the error will occur and it is by design that there are limitations on the DAV move commands that the DAV client is respecting.

If you are moving files in the same library, I recommend you to use Wireshark to reveal the error message and enable IIS
Trace Logging for Failed Requests to examine the IIS log file for troubleshooting.

To narrow down the issue scope, I recommend you to test with another library and see if the copy in explorer can work.
Best regards.

Moving messages from one folder to another.

hi there,
I am trying to move messages from one folder to another. It works perfectly when i try to move one message at a time. However when i try to move more than 1 message(for e.g 2 messages) only the first message is being move to the destinated folder and while attempting to move the 2nd message it is throwing IndexOutOfBounds exception.
This is how i am attempting to move the message.
String destFolder = request.getParameter("fold");
String srcFolder = request.getParameter("originalFolder");
Store store = (Store)session.getAttribute("store");
Folder sourceF = store.getFolder(srcFolder);
sourceF.open(Folder.READ_WRITE);
if(!(destFolder.equals("null")))
String[] msgs = request.getParameterValues("list");
System.out.println(msgs.length);
Folder destinationF = store.getFolder(destFolder);
destinationF.open(Folder.READ_WRITE);
if(msgs != null)
for(int i=0; i<msgs.length; i++)
     int msgNbr = Integer.parseInt((String)msgs);
     int[] msg_id = {msgNbr+1};
     Message[] msg = sourceF.getMessages(msg_id);
     sourceF.copyMessages(msg,destinationF);
     sourceF.setFlags(msg, new Flags(Flags.Flag.DELETED), true);
     sourceF.expunge();
     destinationF.expunge();
session.setAttribute("mails", sourceF);
try
response.sendRedirect("../Inbox.jsp");

Moving music from one pc to another

How do I move music from one pc to another? Also, I just bought a new ipod shuffle, so how do I incorperate that as well?? Anyone?
Thanks!!

This document provides some methods
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4527
Not mentioned is signing up for the iTunes Match service ($25/year), which matches or uploads your iTunes music library to iCloud, making your songs accessible from your computers and supported iOS devices, through the Internet. An extra benefit is that any "matched" song in your library that is lower sound quality, can be replaced by a higher quality 256 kbps ("iTunes Plus") version. You can keep them, even if you decide to cancel iTunes Match after the first year.
iPods (that are not iPod touch) are synced to your iTunes library. So, after you move your iTunes library to the new computer, sync the shuffle to that iTunes library.

Moving files from one folder to another caused freeze

I now have a list of files stuck in the center of my screen.
I'm sure a reboot will fix this (I hope!) but I thought it was a bug worth reporting.
All I did was move a copy a collection of files from one folder to another folder. It made the "move" sound, and the files have been copied, but something clearly went wrong

Have java.io.File objects pointing to the three folders. Get the list of all the files in the folder. Start a loop and check if the filename ends with Data.dat. If it is so then copy file to the final folder.
To Copy file you can use any of the two approaches.
1. You can read that file as byte stream (java.io.FileInputStream) and write it to the other folder as bytes (java.io.FileOutputStream).
2. You can use shell commands to do this. (java.lang.Runtime.exe() method)

Moving topics from one folder to another

Can anybody please help me on this issue. Is there any way i
can move topic from one folder to another without disturbing the
link and all that. I am afraid to move topic from one folder to
another because i feel that it might disrupt something behind the
scene.

As Peter said, it all should work fine. If it doesn't your
projwect either suffers from a corrupt CPD-file or there already
exists a file of the same name in the destination folder.
If such a file has been copied there from outside of RH,
you'll have to remove the offending file using Windows Explorer.
If there is no such file, close your project, delete the file
named <projectname>.cpd and open the project again.

Moving music from one computer to another using an iPod?

Thing is I want to buy a new laptop soon, and I'd like to move my music from my old computer to the new one, but I'd like to use my iPod 160GB as a hard disk to transport it, I've copied my music and video files along with other important data into folders I've created inside the iPod, it covers about a 3rd of the total space in the iPod. Question is, can I transport the music to the new computer without the system resetting the iPod to work with the new computer itself?
Last time(like 3 weeks ago) I had to reset my computer(the old one) because of viruses trouble and such, but I had previously saved my data inside the iPod, so I just copied the files to the same locations as they were in the previous configuration including the iTunes folders library files to a folder I created, then installed iTunes and then the iTunes library files to its own folder; it worked wonders because no files or playlists were lost, and when I plugged my iPod, I had no problems, but I reckoned no problems happened there because this iPod had been used with this computer already, so I wonder if this would be effective with a new computer.
So question remains, could I transport the files(all data) from the iPod to the new computer without it resetting itself and hence losing any of the data?

How to Copy and Move (Clone) your iTunes Library from One Computer to Another – or Archive Prior to a PC Re-Image or Reformat
This well-written iLounge Article is a must-read for anyone considering moving their Library to a new computer or a new location. Or, just wants a better understanding of how iTunes manages your music.
Below is the conceptual framework with related and important links. Apply and adapt it to your specific situation and equipment resources.
The safest, quickest, and most optimal method to move your Library to a new computer is to actually clone the entire ‘iTunes’ folder (directory) structure, rather than just copying just the song files. By copying the entire ‘iTunes’ folder and all sub-folders, you capture not only the music files, but the all-important ‘iTunes Library.itl’ database file (usually located in the ‘iTunes’ folder), which contains all the data about your songs (Playlists, Ratings, Play Counts, Last Played, Date Added, etc). See: What are the iTunes Library files?
Install iTunes on the new computer. Then go back to your old computer and move (copy) the "iTunes" folder which usually resides inside your "…\My Documents\My Music" folder from the old computer to the exact same place (both Drive Letter and complete Path) on the new computer. When you open iTunes on the new computer it will look and behave exactly the same way it did on the old, Play Counts, Ratings, Comments and all!
Preserving and transferring the original Library Database file (iTunes Library.itl) is most critical with iPhones as they can sync with only one iTunes Library at a time. This is managed by the ‘Library Persistent ID’ hardcoded within each iTunes database file. If your ITL file has a different ID, your iTunes/iPhone attachment will be seen as a new Library and you will need to completely re-sync your iPhone. This may or may not be an issue for you. See how to manage the LPID via This Link.
NOTE: It is usually safer moving files between computers with the same version of iTunes!!
iTunes Files to Copy and Move to your New PC (for iPod, iTouch &/or iPhone – use as needed)
1) All Music Files in their current folder structure (usually located in and under the ‘iTunes Music’ folder)
2) All Application Files in their current folder structure (usually located in the ‘Mobile Applications’ folder)
3) All Album Artwork Files in their current folder structure (usually located in and under the ‘Album Artwork’ folder)
4) The Library database file: ‘iTunes Library.itl’ located in the ‘iTunes’ folder
5) The Library XML file: ‘iTunes Music Library.xml’ located in the ‘iTunes’ folder
6) The iTunes Library Extras.itdb and iTunes Library Genius.itdb files, also in the ‘iTunes’ folder
Some additional files to consider also include in a backup:
7) Any XML playlist files created for Playlist retention
8) The two iTunes.pref files (optional)
i) C:\Documents and Settings\<your username>\Application Data\Apple Computer\iTunes\iTunes.pref
ii) C:\Documents and Settings\<your username>\Local Settings\Application Data\Apple Computer Inc\iTunes.pref
9) The XML file of Ratings, Play Counts and Last Played attributes saved from the main Library and created by Otto’s SaveRatings script (also optional, but recommended):
“Download this: http://ottodestruct.com/itunes/SaveRatings.zip . It's a program, just run it like any other program. Run it on the machine where you're copying the info from BEFORE you move the files to the new machine. Click the "Save Ratings" button and it'll create a ratings.xml file. Now when you move the files, move the program and this file as well. Then after you make your new iTunes library, run it again and click the "Restore Ratings" button. Voila, all your information is back in the Library. Well, most of it anyway, it's not perfect. It'll tell you what songs it couldn't figure out though, and there's usually not very many.”
10) The folder(s) used to store and sync photos to your iPhone (if applicable)
11) The iTunes created Backup of your iPhone usually located at:
C:\Documents and Settings\USERNAME\Application Data\Apple Computer\MobileSync\Backup
Here's a list of methods to copy and move your music files from one computer to another:
1) Use an External Hard Drive (ExHD) to move the complete files and Folder structures from one computer to another (my preferred option). You can clone’ the entire ‘iTunes’ folder structure in one very easy step. Also great to have available for complete backups of your Library. External hard drives now run less than $100 for 500GBs-1TB of storage. See This Link
2) Directly connect the two computers:
2a) Connect them through a Router &/or Network
2b) Directly connect using an Ethernet cable: Straight for using at least one Mac; or Crossover for PC/PC Instructions here.
2c) Connect them via a USB-to-USB Network Bridge. Example here. There are various types out there (use Google).
--Then copy the files from one computer to the other.
3) Use the iPod as a transfer device, as this extensive Apple link explains. It will be a bit easier if your iPod has a larger capacity than your music collection, otherwise you will need to perform multiple copy/move transfers. This well written process also works fine while using any other data transfer medium (ExHD, Flash Drive, DVD, CD, Zipp, Jazz, etc.).
4) Burn several DVDs (at 4.7GBs each) with your music data files and folder structure, and load them onto the new computer. Re-writable DVDs are more cost effective (if your DVD drive can manage these types).
5) Burn 6x more on CDs (at 700MB each) than in #4 above and load the files and folders on the new computer. Re-writable CDs are more cost effective (if your CD drive can manage these types).
6) Use a larger USB Flash drive (1GB - 4GB) to move the files and folders. Best if the flash drive is larger than your Library, otherwise you will need multiple copy/move transfers.
These are links to various additional instructions on performing the transfer (read them all, but some listed steps may not be required depending on your specific situation):

Also, remember to Deauthorize your PC before you reformat it, dispose of it, or retire it from iTMS use (if applicable).
Best of Luck

Moving music from one computer to another

I downloaded my music from another computer to an external drive, then uploaded to a new computer. I put it in the same folder as the current music from iTunes. iTunes does not recognize that the music is there. can someone help me get iTunes to see the music so it can be included on this new computer in the program?
Thanks.
Mike

Unless you've moved away from the default iTunes settings simply copying the entire iTunes folder from <User's Music> on the source machine into <User's Music> on the target computer (over a network, or via an intermediate copy on a portable drive) will transfer the library.
See this migrate iTunes library post for more.

Moving contents from one folder to another... what am I doing wrong?

I'm trying to move files and folders between folders. Can someone tell me where I'm going wrong?
The sourceFolder is hard coded using full path because the script is built on the fly and the path can be one of several folders that are constructed within a master application. The destination is user chosen. If I make the souce user chosen this script works so it must be something in the source path that is not right.
set sourceFolder to "Mac HD/Users/devbox/Desktop/Projects/"
set targetFolder to (choose folder)
tell application "Finder"
move entire contents of sourceFolder to targetFolder with replacing
end tell

Finder uses a different mac colon file path system than the unix slash delim.
set sourceFolder to "Macintosh HD:Users:devbox:Desktop:Projects:"
You can also use POSIX path to coerce them from one to the other.
set sourceFolder to POSIX file "/Users/devbox/Desktop/Projects/"
edit: I reviewed the script and added the word "folder" to help the finder tell statement as well. Also could set the initial sourceFolder variable to an alias if you weren't ever going to use it as text.
set sourceFolder to POSIX file "/Users/devbox/Desktop/Projects/"
set targetFolder to (choose folder)
tell application "Finder"
move entire contents of folder sourceFolder to targetFolder with replacing
end tell

Moving files from one folder to another using workflows

Hi everyone,
I need help creating a workflow. Within my Shared Documents Library, there is a folder, within which there are other sub-folders.
Shared Documents--> Resumes --> Approved
Shared Documents--> Resumes --> Rejected
I want to create a workflow so that the resumes are uploaded to the Resumes folder and based on whether the user approves or rejects them, they are moved into either the Approved or Rejected folders. Any help would be highly appreciated
Thank you.

Why to make it more complex when we already have facility to group them by status option? Create a view and select group by “status” or create a separate web part page and add Shared Document library web part 2 times on the same page. For the first web part
select filter option which only displays files with “Approved” status and for the other web part select it for “Rejected”
Though you can refer below link if you wish to involve workflow into this

Inherit metadata not working when content is moved from one folder to another

Hi All,
I have a unique situation for which i would like to know if there is any solution.
We have WebCenter Content 11.1.1.8.0 installed with Framework folders, Accounts and RoleEntityACL (Access Control List-ACL) enabled.
We are not using Accounts, but are using ACL since we want the end users to be able to modify the content access permissions.
Now as per documentation - Managing Content Repositories section 11.2.3.2.1 What You Should Know About Item Level Security
The following occurs in Oracle Content Server on setting custom permissions for a file or folder from the Item Level Security dialog:
The account is changed to account WCILS/original_account.
All users are by default granted RWDA on account WCILS. Changing the account to WCILS/original_account ensures that only the custom permissions determine the security on the content.
The ACL content metadata fields, xClbraUserList and xClbraRoleList are updated with the custom permissions.
The content metadata field, xInhibitUpdate is set to true, to prevent ILS from overwriting an item's own custom security with a parent folder's custom permissions.
Now when i am copying or moving any item from one folder to another folder, it does not inherits the Roles Access Control Lists, User Access Lists of the destination folder in which i am copy the content. It does not inherit the other metadata values like comments and a few more custom metadata value.
I understand that this is due to the xInhibitUpdate metadata field, mentioned above.
Is there any way to override the xIhibitUpdate metadata field and set it to false?
Does anyone know what event is fired when we perform the copy or move of a content item?
Thank in advance
Amit

How to mass moving iviews from one folder hierachy to another within PCD?

Hi,SDN fellows.
I found that it is really not user-friendly to move iviews from one folder to another within PCD>
I tried to use Multiple Property Replacement to move some iviews in one folder to different folder hierachy in PCD, but I don't really know how to do so.
Do you mass moving iviews in PCD before? How do you able to do it more efficiently.
Thanks for help.
Kent

Kyle, the PCD Inspector seems able to faster my process a lot.
What if I want to mass edit some properties. (I thought Multiple Property Replacement would able to do some, but it couldn't)
Said I need to change the Id of a set of iviews:
my_iview_a
my_iview_b
my_iview_c
my_iview_d
to
iview_a
iview_b
iview_c
iview_d
but the MPR doesn't able to use the asterisk (*) operation.
Thanks.

ML Automatically sorts files by name when moving from one folder to another.

Hello, i usually used to move a bunch of files like images or mp3s from one folder to another and in Lion, when moving like 20+ files to another folder, they was being placed where you clicked.
Seems that in ML when i move the same amount of same files, rather than placing them at the cursor, it just moves them and sorts by name. How to avoid this?

Moving pictures from one folder/album to another

I have recently updated to Yosemite and that updated to Photos. I would like to move photos from one folder to another. In iPhoto, my folders were in a left hand menu and I could drag photos to a new folder. How do I do this in Photos?

I figured it out. If you click on view, you have the option to show the sidebar.
