Need serious help-missing garageband files in iTunes!
Hi-first time here. If there is already post about this I apologize and I'll gladly take this down if the answer is elsewhere. I searched!
Short Version: Where on my iMac are the .band files that I uploaded to iTunes????? They are all gone after I did a switch and restore with 2 iPads.
More Detail:
Last night I shared all my songs in garageband on my iPad to iTunes on my iMac. I did this because I have 2 iPads, one is 16gb and the other is 32gb. i wanted to switch them so i can mainly use the 32gb. I thought I would backup the iPad and put the songs in iTunes and then restore the 32gb with the backup from the 16gb. I ran into an issue with iTunes asking for a restore password that I have no clue what that would even be. I found a way around it and got old apps back on the iPad. garageband is now empty on the iPad. That's fine but when I got iTunes>ipad>apps>garageband the file folder is empty!
Where are they? just gone? at the very least I'd like to use them on iMac garageband.. Couldn't find them via iMac garageband.
thanks!!!!
I wanted to delete this whole post but I can't so I figured I may as well share my results. I figured out my "restore backup" password. Tried a bunch of my most common passwords and found the one. then i restored the ipad and it has everything back in place.
I do think it is weird that itunes requires a totally different password to restore a backup to a device. I would think my itunes password would suffice. I'm not sure how or when this other password was determined but it would be nice if itunes told you to guard it with your life considering you will only use it much later and if you don't have it you are out of luck. Pretty lame.

Badly in need of help: Importing asf-files to iTunes
Hi all,
I have a truely oldfashioned problem. I work as a teacher and some of the materials I use are on cd-rom using asf-format. I'd really like to import the files to iTunes (and then to my iPad, 3rd gen.) so that it's easier to handle when I don't have access to a cd-rom/dvd drive.
Do you have any suggestions?
Best
The Danish teacherhttp://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Advanced_Systems_Format
It might be very, very difficult to work with the files. It is strange that a CD would use a streaming format since that is usually a web page format. If it is in a proprietary format you will need a player specifically designed to accommodate that. then too they may be in WMA format instide that stream which means proprietary format inside proprietary format. That format is designed primarily for Windos systems so add on a third hurdle.
You can check out VLC media player and see if it will play them. You can likely copy the CD to your computer and use if from there. I don't know if you can find anything to convert though. -
I lost all email 6months and older in mac mail. Need Serious Help!
I lost all email 6 months and older in mac mail. In my in-box as a well as all other folders I created. I expected that the mac email software would keep all email as it did for me in when I used to use Outlook. As well I thought I was covered with the Time Machine I have installed. Well.....The Time Machine that I was aggressively encouraged to buy apparently doesn't back up email. If it does, I must need some secret decoder ring to unlock where it is. I need serious help. I lost months of professional and personal data. I need to fix this immediately and find some way to get my email back. Please help.
In March when I upgraded to Lion and iCloud I also experienced a similar problem (cluster of problems) which was solved by a password reset (conforming to new requirements) for my Apple ID. I'm glad to see that many nice people contributed and your primary problem is fixed. My comment is on your Quicken problem.
Your data inside Quicken 2004 is on borrowed time. In the process of researching personal budgeting apps I found many reports on the web that indicate Intuit as a company is scaling down Quicken (desktop) development and its future attention to the Mac platform will be minimal.
Did you know that Intuit is behind Mint.com? You may be hesitant to put your financial data "in the cloud" and I may be being sheepish, but.. bbaaaa, bbaaaaa, the cloud is where it's going. I know first-hand want a pain in the arse it is to customize an app to your liking. I spent several hours on Mint.com setting up categories and tagging transactions. It's tedious. I didn't look because I wasn't a Quicken user, but perhaps Intuit was nice enough to provide a data conversion path for Mint.com. It is worth a look.
My second suggestion is to scour the web for a hack solution. You can't be the only person who is facing this problem. Quicken was very popular. I just bet someone has posted directions or some code for exporting the Quicken 2004 data and manipulating it for something else.
Good Luck.

Cold boot problem with X-FI Fata1ty card... Need serious help!
Hey guys:
I just finished upgrading my computer. Realized that I have a cold boot problem. In order to identify the source of problem. I began the following test.
. Remove everything except, cpu, heatsink, ram, video card. Tried to boot with those devices. => No cold boot problem.
2. Install the rest of the ram sticks (I have 4 x 52 in total). => No cold boot problem.
3. Install the other video card (my setup is 7900gtx in SLI) => No cold boot problem.
4. Install the Creative X-FI Fataty card. => COLD BOOT PROBLEM
Once the computer is shut down via the front power switch on the case, the computer will not boot again. To boot the computer, I need to switch off the main power switch on the back of the psu and switch it back on; then turn on the computer via the front power switch on the case. I tried the problem with and without the sound card. Whenever the sound card is installed. There is the problem. If there is no that sound card in my rig, then there won't be any cold-boot problem.
My rig specs:
DFI Lanparty nF4 SLI-DR Venus
AMD Opteron 65 CCBE 609 - Stock speed
4 x 52 MB G.Skill Samsung TCCD LE 2.85V DDR 400
CPU Cooling - Tuniq tower 20
2 x EVGA 7900 GTX Stock - SLI
3 x WD Raptor 74G RAID-0 SATA (-3) 0000 rpm (System)
x Seagate Barracuda 7200.7 60Gb 7200RPM NCQ SATA - 4 (Backup)
Pioneer Black DVR 0 DVD+/-RW - IDE /0
Lian-li PC-V 200B Plus-2 with little case mod
OCZ GameXstream 600W
Creative Fatalty Sound Card w/ Front Panel
Logitech Z5500 5. speakers
I need serious help. This problem is so annoying.
Tnanks and will greatly appreciate it.Message Edited by White_Hair on 0-27-200605:4 PMThe onboard sound is disabled. Unfortunately I sold the Seasonic PSU to my friend. The OCZ GameXStream is suppose to be the higher grade psu than Seasonic PSU. Also, the cold boot problem only exists if the sound card is plugged to the motherboard. I tried change different pci slot. It doesn't seem to help the problem. Thanks for the reply Message Edited by White_Hair on 2-02-200606:07 AM

I need serious help please.. We do translations of schoolbooks, I looked for an over-type function but were unable to find, we are working in indesign CS 5. it takes up allot of time to delete text and type in the new language.
Argh that's frustrating! I never noticed that key did not work in InDesign.
A bit of research and it turns out the MS Office has this as an option in their software. But I cannot find an option in InDesign preferences to make this work.
However, somethings are not listed in the shortcuts and preferences and are hidden triggers in InDesign which can be accessed through a script.
I'm not saying it's possible to activate the Insert Key through a script, but it's plausible that it can be activated.
Maybe ask on the scripting forum? InDesign Scripting
I know this may be a possibility as with InDesign's earlier versions of PDF export to interactive documents there previously was no way to export interactive pdfs as single pages if in Spreads.
But the option to toggle this setting was scriptable. -
Problems Moving Garageband file into iTunes
Hi everyone,
It's been awhile since I've used Garageband. I know in the past, there was a simple way to move a Garageband file into iTunes. Now I'm having all kinds of problems.
What I've done is Click & Drag my GB file into my iPod. The little green plus sign showed up, the computer did it's processing, and I see where the storage space on the iPod decreased, meaning a file was loaded.
But the file does now show up ANYWHERE inside my iPod. Nowhere.
I Clicked & Dragged my GB file into iTunes instead. Again, green plus sign and processing took place, and again nothing shows up menus.
Anybody know what's going on?
thanks!The Share menu is in GarageBand along the top where the menu items are. You can export to iTunes or your hard disk or to CD and you can export at full aiff quality or compressed using mp3 or aac.
You have to open the Project you want to export. You can not do it from Finder.
Don't have an answer about the iPod. Maybe try that forum. -

Transferring GarageBand files from iTunes to iPad 2
I haven't discovered a way to transfer GarageBand files from the MacBook Pro via iTunes to my iPad with GarageBand installed.
I have selected 3 simple files i have done and added them to the GarageBand list on the Apps screen in iTunes. Each is a .band file and doesn't contain any plugins or video.
Each time I sync and open GarageBand on the iPad 2, I select the load icon that is supposed to show these three files from iTunes. Nothing is there.
Did I miss something?Deacon272 wrote:
But that begs the question, "Why the Load File icon?" It doesn't have any function per se that I can see.
i believe that its purpose at this time is for shareing GBi projects between iPads. perhaps a future releasse will allow for GBX to GBi transfers. if it's a feature you want, be sure to let Apple know:

Getting attachments and emails need serious help!!
I am not sure if I am doing this right, but I am trying to receive emails from gmail, and I am having some serious problems. For some reason I get four emails and then I get a null exception. I have been through my code a dozen times and I cannot find the problem. Here is my code: try{
Properties props = new Properties();
props.setProperty("mail.pop3.socketFactory.class", SSL_FACTORY);
props.setProperty("mail.pop3.port", "995");
props.setProperty("mail.pop3.socketFactory.port", "995");
Session session = Session.getInstance(props, null);
Store store = session.getStore("pop3");
store.connect("pop.gmail.com", "jwheat3300", "carrie11");
Folder folder = store.getFolder("INBOX");
folder.open(Folder.READ_ONLY);
int n=folder.getMessageCount();
attach = new String[n];
String select = "false";
String body = "";
for(int i=1; i<=n; i++)
Message message = folder.getMessage(i);
date2 = "3/2/2006";
from = message.getFrom()[0];
subject = message.getSubject();
attach="false";
Multipart multipart = (Multipart)message.getContent();
int j = multipart.getCount();
for(int l=0; l<j; l++)
Part part = multipart.getBodyPart(l);
disposition = part.getDisposition();
System.out.println(disposition);
if((disposition !=null) && ((disposition.equalsIgnoreCase(Part.ATTACHMENT) || disposition.equalsIgnoreCase(Part.INLINE))))
MimeBodyPart mbp = (MimeBodyPart)part;
if(mbp.isMimeType("text/plain"))
body = (String)mbp.getContent();
if(body==null)
body="";
bodies.add(new Body(body));
if(mbp.isMimeType("text/html"))
body = "This is an html email. Unable to display HELP";
bodies.add(new Body(body));
if(mbp.isMimeType("application/x-shockwave-flash"))
attach[i] = "true";
System.out.println(part.getContentType());
if(disposition == null)
MimeBodyPart mbp = (MimeBodyPart)part;
if(mbp.isMimeType("text/plain"))
body = (String)mbp.getContent();
if(body==null)
body="";
bodies.add(new Body(body));
attach[i] = "false";
if(mbp.isMimeType("text/html"))
body = "This is an html email. Unable to display HELP";
bodies.add(new Body(body));
attach[i] = "false";
inmails.add(new Inmail(select, from, subject, date2, attach[i]));
table.revalidate();
folder.close(false);
store.close();
}catch(Exception t)
System.err.println("Exception900: " +t.getMessage());
I get the body fine, and what I am trying to do is when I get all of my information is to put this into the inmails vector and then update my table. That works but I am only gettting four of thirty emails. Also when it comes to attachments do I need to set up a mime type for every possible attachment that will come? I need some serious help!I guess I am seriously confused then....I tried doing the tutorial from jguru on sun's site and this was how the code was set up. At least I think it is....I pretty much have no idea what I am doing. I mean the code as it stands will get the emails, and by the way this is for an application not for a server or anything. So should I check for it to be just plain text first and then find out if there is a multipart. There is not really any good tutorials that explain what it is I am trying to accomplish. Please help!

Please Help, Missing Project File and Discussion Advice Isn't Working.
Here's the rundown:
I was working in iMovie HD 5 when the power got cut out on my external hard drive. When I try to reload my project I got the 'Missing Project File' error that has been discussed by many on this board.
There are two known fixes.
1) Open the package and go back to the '~' version of the project.
2) Use the MovieTimeline.mov in the Cache to import it back into a new project.
Solution #1 simply didn't work.
Solution #2 imports the full video as a single long clip but is significantly lower in quality than the original version.
In addition, the movie was shot in true widescreen and plays in quicktime in 16:9 mode, but when I import that .mov file into iMovie HD for some reason bars are added on the sides and top and bottom of the frame, and the bars are thicker on the sides so it stretches the picture and makes everything look taller.
Although I'd certainly much rather have my original project timeline back, I could still continue my work if I could figure out how to import the .mov so that it retains the quality and size that it had to begin with.
Does anyone have any idea how to import it without losing the quality and size or how to gain back an earlier project save?
Please help if you can, my grandfather's 83rd birthday gala celebration (2 days away!) depends on it!I know you're in a rush, so I'll mention a couple other possibilities.
Solution #2 imports the full video as a single long
clip but is significantly lower in quality than the
original version.
• You shouldn't see any difference. The video imported from the Timeline Movie.mov is exactly the same as the original video. My guess is you're seeing some side effect of the widescreen issue. That, or your iMovie playback settings have changed.
In addition, the movie was shot in true widescreen
and plays in quicktime in 16:9 mode, but when I
import that .mov file into iMovie HD for some reason
bars are added on the sides and top and bottom of the
frame, and the bars are thicker on the sides so it
stretches the picture and makes everything look
taller.
• Make sure you're importing to a DV Widescreen project.
• It might work to open the Timeline Movie.mov in QT Player Pro and export to a DV stream set to 16:9, then import that to the new project.
• It's curious solution #1 didn't work. What happened when you tried that?

Battery Recall (Need Serious Help)
Hi all,
I have a Black Macbook (July 06).
My battery for the last 3 weeks has been horrid. My computer lasts a total of 1.5 hours under min. brightness and no serious workload. And the worst part is, it just shuts off, doesn't sleep when it gets low. Just totally turns off.
Now my cycle count is at 299 and I have no idea what to do with this thing. I took it out of my computer because I honestly believe I deserve a replacement.
So I called my local service center here in Lebanon (middle east) and this is what they told me.
Since I purchased my Macbook from Canada (I had to move to Lebanon in August 06) they cannnot, and will not replace my battery for me. Even if I requested to pay the shipping charges.
Is there any help for me? I feel they are shafting me because they've done this with my iBook which had the recall battery fire issue. And another iBook which had a manufacturer defect. In anycase, those I fixed when I went back to Canada. But I can't keep these 299 cycles forever! Can someone seriously help me here?I know, I was hoping someone could point me in the right direction.
Maybe you know of an email where I can send my complaint? Because all I can find are 1800 numbers that don't connect when dialing internationally. -
I need serious help with my nano!!
So I was running the lastest iPod updater tool from Apple and I hit restore. The line went all the way then it said factory settings have been restored, although both the restore and update buttons were blacked out in the updater tool. The iPod never restarted like its supposed to when you restore it, it just kept on blinking do not disconnect. So I held down menu and the center button to manually restart it. It restarted in black and while blinking do not disconnect. The iPod updater program froze. I went to my computer and it said something like "Removable device" instead of "Andrew's iPod" and I clicked on it and it said it had to be formated. I hit no and then clicked "safely disconnect" and safely disconnected the iPod. I unplugged it and it showed a check mark saying "ok to disconnect". So then I disconnected to cable and it showed some battery ion then shut off. That makes no sense because it had been sharging for hours prior to this. Now when I plug it in it doesn't do anything. Nothing shows up on the iPod and I hit every button and nothing happens. The computer doesn't recognize anything. I need some help big time.
figured it out myself
