Music files stored in two different folders

Most of my music files are located in the folder I named for my iTunes library. Others are in a Music folder which is a subfolder of the iTunes Media folder. I'm not sure how this happened, but it seems to have happened after a backup. All the new additions went to the iTunes Media subfolder. I'd like them to be all in one place. How can I achieve that? I'm running iTunes 10.7.

Open iTunes and choose to organize or consolidate the library.

I recently deleted many duplicate files. In the midst of it my Itunes songs are not in Itunes. They are in two different folders. One under 'Music' in my ID. And two under a MyMusic file in Documents. How do I know which one to import?

Thanks, this is not an ideal answer but probably the most sensible one in my case.
I will try it unless someone has a better suggestion, but I'll wait a bit as it will take me a few days anyway (I had actually tried to create a new smaller playlist or download by album, but at this stage the music app is not letting me queue a list of songs for download - I think I will have to disable and re-enable iTunes match which will probably delete all the songs).
I have to say I am not very impressed with Apple here - having an online backup of all your data and beeing able to restore it to a new device easily was a strong selling point of iCloud. For music, they are Definitly not delivering at the stage.

I only want itunes to hold the lossless files which are in two different folders. How do I do that?

I have thousands of MP3 files which I no longer use and which are in my itunes library.
I want itunes (version 11) to have in it's library only the MS Lossless format and the ALAC lossless format which are in two different folders. How do I achieve this?

Delete the files you don't want, or cut & paste them to an alternate location if you want to archive them.
What MS Lossless format? .wav?
iTunes doesn't have any custom organization features, but you can change the location of the media folder and then selectively consolidate content to the new folder. This creates copies so you have to manually delete the originals. Alternatively I have a script called ConsolidateByMoving which does what it suggests. Thiis could be used to split the media into parallel subfolders within your existing media folder if you disable iTunes "Keep iTunes Media folder organized" option.

One file to two different folders simultaneously?

Is there a way to copy one file to two different folders simultaneously?
Maybe a script?
Drew

Thanks for the response Baltwo.
Maybe I shouldnt have said 'simultaneously'.
What I'm trying to achieve is this.
I drop a file into one folder and it automatically copies to ano folder (a redundant back up of the first folder)
Is that possible at all?

Where are music files stored when playing a song stored in iTunes Match?

Where are music files stored when playing a song stored in iTunes Match? Instead of clicking the cloud icon and downloading the song, I simply double click the song and it starts playing. Later, I can quite iTunes, come back and not have to wait for the song to buffer. When I go to about on my computer I am told there is 11 gigabytes of music on my computer. Where are those files stored, do they clear themeselves over time, etc...

but then why does the FAQ state this:
Does iTunes Match stream or download songs?
On a computer, any songs stored in iCloud will stream over the air when played, though you can download them at any time by clicking the iCloud download button.
Do they mean a different computer than the one with the stored music files? Would be nice if they specified what they mean

Creative centrale can't play music files stored on Zen X-Fi.

<\I installed Creative Centrale, connected the player and it gets recognized alright, but for some reason I can't play the music files stored on it, is it normal? Centrale plays the files on PC just fine, but if I try to play the files on the player nothing happens. I wanted to know if this is normal and if it's not, how to fix this problem.

Anyone has any clue if this is normal or not? I find it quite odd that a creative software is unable to play music stored on creative players.

Comparing photos from two different folders...

Is there a way to have side-by-side two images from different folders? Say, one from 2008 and one recent? Lightroom 3.6...

Sure. In Grid mode, select the two folders that the images reside in. Click on the first folder and Ctrl-Click (on PC) on the second. Then find and select the two images in the Grid. Then invoke the compare feature.

Sending email via Gmail causes the file to be stored in two Sent folders

Hi there,
I've just set up Mac Mail to synchronise my Gmail account via IMAP and all is well except: when I send an email it appears in the "Sent" folder of my regular account AND the "Sent" folder of Gmail. How can this be? When I send the email, it is sent using my Gmail address, so I would have thought that the message would have been routed just to my Gmail sent folder... not to my regular sent folder as well.
Thoughts?
Cheers,

I'm having the same problem on a home PC running Windows 7 64-bit SP1 and Office 2010 but I'm not running Norton. Started with one of dozen or so .PST files I have for various accounts. The first "...the file so that..." folder has no properties
and I couldn't delete it. Subsequent "...the file so that..." (those with .1 and .2, etc) I could delete. Thought I had the problem solved by simply creating a new .PST file and moving all my mail from the affected. PST file and closing the affected
one. That worked for a couple of days but I notice this morning I have the same thing in a completely different .PST file.
Again, I don't use Norton and have been using the same add-ins for quite some time but this just started in the last couple of weeks.

Dreamweaver won't open same file in two different folders. Fix or switch to Aptana?

Same file copied between 2 folders. DW will open one but not the other. Copied code from 'good' file to new file; saved in 'bad' folder. DW opened the file once then the spinning wheel of death again. All files open in Aptana, Coda, Sublime no problem. 'Bad' file was coded and FTP's previously without problem. Was annoyance previously but not the problem is becoming acute. 'Bad' file opens on Windows7 with DW8; won't open on MAC CS6. Tried every fix posted; still POS.

BTW - this has been a problem for years (plural). I just had accepted that DW did this sometimes. I write a lot of PHP so DW is not my primary software. Couple of days ago, I was doing a customer presentation and it did it again. MY mistake was I copies the development folder to a new folder and upload/took the approved site live. Literally, I could navigate back to the old folder and open index.php but it would not open in the new folder. Copied the old contents to the new folder/file, saved it, opened it and it worked fine. This whole time I am tap dancing in front of a room full of people. Go back to reopen the file and no go. As my face slowly turns bright red, I navigate back to my development folder to open index.php. Surprise, now it won't open either. Luckily for me, I had a copy of Coda2 on my laptop, switched over and sold the job. I mainly use DW for customers where I can split screens - use an 80" presentation screen - for convenience. Was thinking about upgrading from CS6 but 4 and 5 had the same problems which was why I went to 6.

Connection through JDBC to dBase files stored on a different UNIX computer

I would like to access files created in dBase (*.dbf) format and stored directly on the hard disk of a different or remote UNIX OS platform standalone computer which is not connected to any network through a JDBC driver. I need to do this from my home Windows XP system with J2SDK 1.4.2_19 and Tomcat already installed on it. May I know if there is any driver with this feature and how do I go about establishing connection, please?
Thank you.

Can iTunes Library read from or rather consist of two different folders?

Here is my situation...I have about 100 gb of music in my iTunes folder. Then I bought an apple tv and figured out how to start converting my 400 disc dvd collection to H.264/mpeg4, then import into iTunes, and then stream or sync with apple tv. I also would like to convert my music collection to apple lossless (only about 25% is lossless at this time). On average each dvd takes up 1.75 to 2.25 GB in iTunes following compression and H.264 encoding. I have a 750GB Hard drive dedicated for itunes media.
So my question/problem is that when you do the math (after converting to lossless and putting all my dvds into itunes, and then any future content I buy/add, etc...) I am going to run out of storage soon. When this happens can I just add another drive with an additional itunes folder? If so can iTunes access both, keep both organized, etc....? If so how do I set this up properly?

What's happening is iTunes thinks you want it to copy all the music from those drives and place it inside your "iTunes Music" folder. You can turn this preference off. It's on the Advanced tab of the Preferences window.
Now you can either use the Import menu or just drag/drop music from any and all drives to the Library window, and they will become part of your library. You must stay connected to those drives in order play the songs, of course. It's not quite so easy to manage the files when they are located on multiple drives, but you can always press Ctrl-R on any song to be shown the file.

Is it possible to work on the same files/catalog from two different computers?

My wife and I are photographers and work on two separate iMacs. We just purchased an NAS and would like to know if we can both access the same files AND the Lightroom catalog from our respective computers. All of the files are on the NAS but I can't figure out how to get her computer to recognize the catalog. Any help would be greatly appreciated!
-Brent

Another option, since you already have the nas, is to get something like "Synchronize! Pro X",and use the nas to transfer the catalog back and forth. You don't have to USB the catalog, just transfer it to the nas each time you are done, and before you start...
Of course, I think both solutions are based on you not editing at the same time... i.e., both of you are making changes, as neither approach will work for that!

Getting music onto ipod from two different itunes libraries

I have 2 different computers with different music on each. I have downloaded itunes onto both. I have downloaded music from one computer onto ipod. When plugging ipod into second computer it says that I have to delete content of ipod to allow me to sync with the second itunes library.
Is there a way around this?
I have 'authorized' both computers to my itunes account.

Thanks very much!
My issue is that I have stupidly dropped my first laptop and broken the screen so it is unusable.
The music currently on my ipod is from this first laptop so I dont really want to wipe it in order to put music on from the second laptop (and hence now my only itunes store).
Is there a way to take the music currently on my ipod off somehow and store it somewhere, eg on my new computer, so that I dont lose it when I 'wipe it to sync with my new itunes store'?
Does that make sense?
Thanks for the help

Newb Question regarding Same InDesign CS4 file used on two different computers.

Probably been answered 1,000 times or is common knowledge, but I could not get it narrowed down using the search feature.
I would like to take an InDesign CS4 file ( a book) created on my imac, and work on it while away on a macbook pro with identical InDesign CS4 software. I will only be changing layout and some text, but will not be modifying anything that is a link other than re-sizing.
After doing this, will I be able to put the updated file into my imac and be ready to go, or am I playing with fire? If I might do more harm than good, I will not do it. It's just that I have a big project due and I have to be out of town for 3 days and would like to work on it if I can while I'm gone.
Thanks for any input,
Sebastian Gaeta

If you only copy the InDesign file then yes, preflight will alert you to the missing links. Just ignore it, or package the file and transfer the links, too.
Better yet, get yourself a membership to Dropbox. With Dropbox installed on both computers you can keep the entire job (up to 2 GB) in one folder and the files will sync to Dropbox’s servers, which will then sync to all computers sharing that folder. Open InDesign file on Mac 1, make changes, close file. Open file on Mac 2, make changes, close file. Open file on Mac 1 and the changes will be there. Best of all, you can go to Dropbox’s website and access a file’s history. This means you can go back to previous version of the file if you need to.
I add a folder to my Dropbox folder for any current job. When I’m done I move the files out and archive them.

If you sign up using the above link I get a tiny increase in my allotted storage.

How to share a file system among two differant containers

Hi there,
Is there anyway to share a filesystem among two containers? If so what makes the difference if the storage is from 1) SAN 2) NAS and 3) Internal Storage.
Thanks,
John

Hi folks,
Thanks for your valuable quotes and suggestions.
Here is my requirement, a FS is mounted in zone which comes form SAN and oracle installed in it, Now for R&D purpose we want create another container and install a newer version of oracle. In this case can we share the storage between those two containers?Not easily. You'd have similar issues if you had two independent machines that you wanted to see the same SAN storage.
If you want to solve this problem via a way that leverages the zone aspect, you have to swap the mount from being in the non-global zone as a direct mount, to being in the global zone and with an lofs mount to the non-global zones.
If these were independent machines, you could make one of them do the mount and serve the data via NFS to the other machine. But that's not available to non-global zones.
