My music files keep being removed after being added to iTunes

I have had my macbook for about a year and only recently has it started to remove my music files from its originial folder when i add it to itunes. I have looked at all the settings and can't figure out whats going on. Any advice ???

ITunes can convert the files for you. Set up mp3 as your import format from Edit > Preferences > General tab (enable the menu bar if needed with ALT or CTRL+B), then right-click on a selection of files and use Create MP3 Version.

Stamps being removed after securing the pdf document

I'm having a problem with the whitebox stamps that I use to white out names on a pdf being removed after the document is secured through a custom batch process. After insterting the stamps that white out what I want I save the document and when I open it again the white box stamps are still there. Once I secure the same document and open it the stamps are removed. Other computers using the same batch process and version of acrobat do not have this issue.
Any theories would be much appreciated.

So I have installed Acrobat 8.0 Pro and used the redaction tool which for some reason was keeping a line showing of the white box I was trying to use to remove some content. Also I put the batch process I was using to secure the document doesn't show up when I go into the Batch Processing menu, neither do any of the default ones show up. It just has an option to create a new process.

My music files keep disapearing from iTunes Its all up to date

My music files keep disapearing. I have uninstalled iTunes and re installed it, works for a bit then slowly the ! keep appearing. Can someone please help me?

Check out this Apple article -> iTunes creates an empty library file in Windows
Do you have the Sony VAIO Entertainment Platform installed and running on your computer? If you do, it might be conflicting with iTunes.

My iphone4 no longer shows my music files?? They don't appear in iTunes either but my music is still there as 1) the 'summary' shows 28gigs

My iPhone is driving me insane! It started having problems synching the phone to iTunes (basically, iTunes was saying that it couldnt recognize the phone). After hours and hours trying to resolve the issue I found some advice on the internet. I downloaded iPhone Explorer and deleted a couple of files as suggested & this resolved the problem. The phone started to synch again and updated the phone with the latest software. However, the 'Summary' was showing all my music/video files as 'Other'.
I've since synched the phone & the problem is now even worse!!! My iPhone no longer shows any music/videos, even when I connect to iTunes! However, the summary still shows a capacity of 28 gigs so the music files are still in the phone?!? Likewise, I've checked the phone files using iPhone Explorer & the music files are still in the phone?!?
Does anybody have any idea how to fix this problem. I've only got half of music library backed up so dont want to restore as I'll lose half of my music library!

I'm happy to totally restore the phone.......once I have completely backed up my music files! I can't back up in the normal way as the music files are not recognized in the iPhone or iTunes.
The original problem occurred as a result of a corrupted synch. This seems to be a problem a LOT of people have had (based on all the Internet research I've done). I did everything suggested (uninstall/reinstall iTunes, update iTunes, reset iPhone, use a different USB port, use a different connection cable, update drivers, restart computer with iPhone connected......and nothing worked!!!). Having spent days and days looking for an answer I eventually found a solution that was supposed to work. It was suggested that I download the 'iPhone Explorer' software and delete a couple of directory files which I did. This partially resolved the issue, iTunes recognized the iPhone and updated the iOS software.
Quite simply, the music media files are still in the iPhone, it just doesn't recognise which directory the music cache is in. I need to either:-
* figure out how to get the iPhone to find the correct directory again or:
* figure out how to extract the remaining music files to create a complete back up and then restore the iPhone

Hello! I have one iTunes library on my iPod and one iTunes library on my computer. When I connect my iPod touch to my PC, however, I cannot find any files in my iPod except for pictures. How can I find the music files so I can add them to my iTunes?

Hello! I have one iTunes library on my iPod and one iTunes library on my computer. When I connect my iPod touch to my PC, however, I cannot find any files in my iPod except for pictures. How can I find the music files so I can add them to my iTunes?

You can't do that.
And before you decide to store any music that you own on a computer at work, talk to your IT department. Many organizations do not permit it for legal reasons. Standard policies are that anything stored on company owned computers is the property of the company. It could not be legally stored on their machines unless you transfer the licenses and all copies, physical and digital, to the company, meaning you no longer own the music. If they were to be audited and could not prove that they own the music, they would be subject to copyright violation penalties. Just use your iPod when you're at the office if you want to listen to music.

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

Picture files only partially display after being published

Recently .jpg and .png pictures I have created only partially display after being published. I've tested it using Paint, Publisher and Gimp with mixed results. The pictures display correctly when I view them locally on my pc.
Here are the test pictures I made in each program:
http://www.bgchamber.net/images/GimpTest.jpg
http://www.bgchamber.net/images/PublisherTest.jpg
http://www.bgchamber.net/images/PaintTest.jpg
The only pictures that fully display are those that were taken from a camera, but after I resized one in paint, it also didn't display properly. My question really is, is this an issue with Microsoft Expression Web or with the server hosting the files?

Publisher is NOT a photo editing program. Neither is Word. Nor is Paint.
You need a real, and simple, photo editing program. Paint.NET is a good, free one. I find GIMP cumbersome (but it's batch processing is handy). And your graphics aren't being created and saved properly. For example, the events.html page has graphics on it
that total well over 3 MegaBytes! Pity the poor soul with a wireless connection. The graphics on the events.html page are largely illegible, and as such serve no real purpose (and make the site look bad).
Let's take an example...on the home page gallery is a graphic for the 2015 Chamber Scholarship. It's displayed at 525 x 340 pixels, yet the image sitting on the server (and which must be downloaded by the visitor) is 1275 x 825 pixels. So you have an unnecessarily
large graphic taking space on the server, having to download to the visitor's computer at full size, and then be shrunk by the browser to only 17% of the original area. That file should be created and saved in a proper graphics program at the final size you
plan to use (and in this case, use PNG format). The larger file takes at least 5 times the storage space on the server as a properly sized file (and takes 5 times as long to download and upload).
I've superimposed the display size on top of the full size and shrunk them down to display here in the forum. See below.
All the graphics that I have checked on your site have the same problem, and if your site has been up a long time and you haven't cleaned out the old files on the server, you may have run out of server space, which would corrupt the new files.
Smaller files will also upload faster and more reliably. Plus--browsers stink at resizing graphics. Do that in a proper graphics program to get the best quality.
Use JPG for photos, GIF for hard-edge graphics with few colors and no gradations/shading, and PGN for hard-edge graphics with full color and gradations/shading. And make sure you are saving the images in the proper version of the format (RGB for web).

It was at this point that the bartender realized he would not be getting a tip.

Swf files are not playing after being published

i am trying to run the 'connector' example that comes bundled with smartfoxserver2x downloads..there it connects to the server and loads the correct configuration file. when i run it in adobe flash professional 5,it runs correctly and connects to the server but after being published as SWF movie,it doesnt work.it loads the configuration file but cant connect and gives error connection failure..ERROR 2048
this is the example i am talking about. http://docs2x.smartfoxserver.com/ExamplesFlash/connector
flash

that's probably a local security restriction you have. reset it to allow your swf to communicate across your local sandbox to the internet: http://www.macromedia.com/support/documentation/en/flashplayer/help/settings_manager04.htm l
or test online.

Premiere CS4 files won't reopen after being hung up

Although I'm relatively new at Premiere, it seems strange that twice with 2 different Premiere CS4 files, I get files I cannot reoppen after I export them using the Media Encoder. My i-mac is new and has 8 gig of ram and the processor is a 3.33GHz Intel Core 2 Duo.
So here I am stuck with 2 incomplete Premiere files that I can't do additional editing to because they won't open - they start to open quickly but hang up just before the progress bar is complete and remains that way before I force quit 5 minutes or so later. It seems that Encore has hung things up and I can't risk loosing files I spend hours on.
Any help appreciated

Hello all,
The first thing I tried worked. This was opening an older Premiere file and importing the Premiere file that wouldn't open.
What happened originally was when I exported the Premiere file (Media Encoder), I immediatedly saved the Premiere file after it finished exporting - it was during this saving process that it became hung up/frozen and wouldn't reopen. This time when I exported, I saved it before I exported and immediately quit when the exporting was done. It reopened without a problem.
Thanks for your help - appreciate it

Want to store music files on a removable storage device..can this be done?

Hello! I am not a very technical person so please bear with me! My computer is a work issued computer so I cannot store personal files on it including music files. I have an external storage device that can hold all my music, but I don't know how to set it up to where iTunes links these files to the music in my library. I know how to import a folder/files into the iTunes library and I have done this many times, but when I close out of iTunes and then open it back up, it does not recognize/link any of files - and yes, I do have the external storage device hooked up! Can this be done? And if so, can someone please tell me how to do so?
Many, many thanks!!

Remove the USB drive. Delete all the entries currently in the library.
Look in Preferences and make sure the music library is pointing to your *work computer hard drive.*
Make sure the preferences for "Keep..." and "Copy..." are both not checked.
Insert the USB drive. Add all the songs to your library. They should play.
Remove the drive. After a while reconnect it. Do they play OK now?

December channel changes (WGN moving, JUCE TV being removed, GSN HD added)

Check your dvr/stb menu messages.
On or after Dec. 8th WGN (SD) is being relocated to ch. 68 and being removed from the very basic tv packages.
On or after Dec. 31st Juce TV (religious) is being removed from the lineup.
Also, there is no message about it, but GSN HD (ch. 684) is now being added to markets and is available to those who have the tiers that it is included in.

Chicago's WGN Channel 9 moved from 9 to 68. Seems like kind of a dumb move. Except for this forum, how would people discover this?????????
Periodically check the message center in the stb/dvr menu. They sent a message out about it. Also even if you don't receive paper bills look at the pdf version online as channel changes are usually posted there in advance.
Only other way is to notice it while scroling through the guide.

Album Art on Most Music Files Do Not Display after 9.2 Upgrade

I downloaded and installed the 9.2 upgrade for iTunes on my Windows 7 laptop. Nearly all of the music files no longer display the album art. When I try editing the files to change or restore the art, nothing happens or the program stops responding.
Is there a fix for these and other problems on the way, or how do I go back to 9.1?

Possible corrupt music file on back up disc - can't restore iTunes library!

Sold old laptop last week in prep for getting new PC, backed up iTunes library onto DVD disc (whole library went on 4.7GB disc with no problems) - got new PC yesterday, downloaded iTunes 9, inserted back up disc, tried to restore but keeps getting stuck on one song and going no further. Can anyone help with any other suggestions because I'm going nuts! Can't update my iPhone as there's nothing in iTunes to update it with!

Yes, the relative location is the same, the user account has the same short and long lame as before.
I did try to use the preferences to point to the backed up itunes folder. Once when it was on the eHD and once when I put it in the music folder. Unfortunatley no luck.
I will try your idea about using "Consolidate Library"
One other interesting thing I tried a few days ago was to follow the procedure outlined in the apple support section about restoring the library. It has you move the libray xml file to the desk top, trashing one of the other files (I forgot which) and then choosing the xml file placed on the desk top upon starting itunes. I thought it was kind of odd to select the very xml file I was having trouble with so I chose the backed up xml file. It put all of the playlist folders back in duplicate, but the library was still empty (probably becuase the xml file is just a reference file and I hadn't loaded any actual music files) If the consolidate doesn't work, mabye I'll try that again, but also put the folder with the actual files on the computer as well
I'll let you know how "Consolidate" works, thanks for your suggestions!

File keeps turning colors, pixelating when adding content or scrolling down

Dear all,
I have a problem with my file - for some reason the background, which I have inserted from Photoshop keeps pixelating and turning to a bright green, whenever I add things to the file. When I started out working on it it did not, but the more I add the more it turns and I can not get it to turn back. It starts in Patches and then spreads throughout the document, I don´t know how to better describe it. I´m adding a screenshot, maybe you can help me. The green you see in the middle is the one it is supposed to be. In this shot it just started turning and will then spread. It is worse when a photo is involved, because then the photo uses will also turn colors.
Really hoping someone knows what went wrong.
Kind regards!
A.

That's a pretty complex file. When was the last time you did a Save AS to remove old and inaccessible change information?
I've never seen any color anomalies, but it's not rare for me to see preview degradation, which I've traced to lsft/right scrolling using my mouse's tilt wheel. I'm able to restroe the view by holding the Alt + Spacebar keys to get the Hand tool and clicking anywhere on the page,so I'm curious if that works for you, too.
Finally, I'd recommend exporting this to .idml to clean up any crud in the file. See Remove minor corruption by exporting

How do I copy music files from an iPod 5thGen to a new iTunes installation?

My old WinXP computer crashed & burned (literally). I installed iTunes (11.2.2.3) on my new Win7 PC. How do I copy all my music from my 5th Gen iPod into the new iTunes? My music collection contains only MP4 files ripped from my CD collection--nothing purchased from the iTunes Store. I located a folder named Apple on one of my old flash drives which contains a subfolder named iTunes Music. That folder contains subfolders for each of my original CDs with MP4s for all the tracks. Could I use those files to restore my music to iTunes?

If is a MicroSD card you'll need a MicroSD to SD card adapter. Something like this.
Once you have one of those just insert it into the SD card slot on your Mac then open a Finder window and select all the images and press Command + c to copy then go to the folder you want to put them in and select it and press Command + v to paste to that folder.
