New iPod owner - Quick question about iTunes and iPod

Hey everyone. I just bought the new 5.5G black 30GB.
I have a lot of untagged MP3s, but my boyfriend tagged most of them. After I overwrite the untagged files (but with the same filename) with the tagged files, now that I have all of my music on iTunes and on my iPod, how do I get iTunes to do a mass refresh and see all the tags, so it can show them properly and update the iPod accordingly?
Also, my new ipod keeps crashing! It keeps freezing when I hit the skip button or try to do something when it's loading a video or a song. It just seems really unstable. Any help is much appreciated. Thanks!

oh sorry i misunderstood you
this is from i-tunes help - is this any good
Song titles look scrambled after importing from another application
If a song's title and information don't appear correctly, the file was probably created using a program that stores information in a different way from iTunes. You may be able to resolve the problem by reversing the Unicode characters in the song tags.
To reverse the Unicode characters:
Select the song and choose Advanced > Convert ID3 Tags.
To select multiple adjacent songs, press the Shift key while you click the song titles. To select multiple songs that are not adjacent, press the Control key and click.
Click Reverse Unicode.
To change the information back to what you had before, choose Reverse Unicode again.

IPod messed up after installing iTunes and iPod update...

Two days ago I updated my iTunes and iPod to the latest updates. Now my iPod makes funny noises that I can hear through the back (without any headphones or anything) and some songs will only play for about 30 seconds and then the iPod just freezes up, makes funny noises and I am unable to turn it off. I found that by holding down the 'select' and 'menu' buttons together, the iPod will restart. I have tried restoring my iPod and it still has the same problems. Any ideas? Is this happening to anyone else?

This is VERY similar to what's going on with my iPod, except mine will reset when I try to play certain songs.... I think Apple might have a few bugs left in their new software...

Switching from PC laptop to MacBook--what about iTunes and iPod

I've been using a Dell Inspiron 6000 laptop for a couple of years, and have an iTunes account and a 60G iPod video set up to sync with it.
But now I'm getting a MacBook laptop and will get rid of the PC laptop.
Big questions loom:
- I set my iPod up for Windows. How do I change the setup to Mac?
- How do I move my iTunes library from the PC to the Mac?
- What else do I need to know?
Thanks!

When you connect your iPod to the new MacBook it won't automatically erase it. Instead you'll be told the iPod is synced to a different computer and ask if you want to sync it to the MacBook. Click on cancel. Your iPod isn't erased.
Now head over to your favorite download site versiontracker.com is good and search on 'iPod'. You'll find several freeware and shareware programs that'll transfer your songs to the MacBook. Use one.

Quick Question about Moving from iPod Touch 2G to iPhone 4

I've had an iPod Touch for just over 2 years and am planning to get the Verizon iPhone 4 as soon as it is released. Does anyone know if I will be able to move all my apps with their data to the iPhone? For example, I have a weight watcher type app where I have been recording what I eat, weight loss, etc for months. I'd like to bring that information with me. Plus my game scores and levels I've beaten, etc. Before, when I have plugged in a new device iTunes has asked me if I want to restore data from my iPod 2G backup or from my iPad backup. If I do that, will it give me the desired result?

Ignore the previous post, as it's quite obvious the poster has no idea what they are talking about. App data is stored in your touch backups. Restoring your new phone from that backup will restore the data to your new phone. Follow the directions here:

Quick Question About Ringtones and iPhone

I've looked through the discussions and could not find my answer. If you know of a discussion already posted please refer me to that.
Question: After buying a song from iTunes is there a statute of limitations governing the song's ability to create a ringtone?
None of the songs that I bought before my iPhone can be made into ringtones and songs that I bought a few days ago, which initially I could make into a ringtone, but did not, now can no longer be made into a ringtone.
Also, is there any program besides iTunes that can be used to create ringtones from any song?
Thank you for any and all help.

No there is not a time limit that I know of. The bell has disappeared on mine too. Have you clicked Store>create ringtone?
There are many, many posts about other ways to make ringtones:

Quick question about rendering and exporting with multiple presets

Probably a very simple question but I'm pretty new to PPro, so I'd appreciate your help...
I've got an uncompressed AVI video that I want to export to mp4 using several presets (that means several exports). What I intend to do is the following:
I create a sequence and put my AVI file in there and then I just apply the preset and without rendering go to export media, select my export setting, and put it in the encoding queue at the Media Encoder. Then on the same sequence, I clear the preset and apply a new one, and again without rendering, go to export and then to the encoding queue. I repeat this for as many times as presets as I want to apply. At the end I have created (in no more than 2-3 minutes) several exports in the Adobe Media Encoder queue, that I can launch and go and do something else while encoding...
My question: will the export files each have the different preset applied even though it was not rendered? if it does not work, would that work if I were to do this with each preset applied on a different sequence, even without rendering?
Thanks in advance for your input!

I create a sequence and put my AVI file in there and then I just apply the preset.
Then on the same sequence, I clear the preset and apply a new one, and again without rendering, go to export and then to the encoding queue.
Does "apply the preset" mean selecting an encoding preset
before sending the Sequence to the Queue?
If I understand what you are trying to do...
It sounds like you want to do multiple, different format
exports from the same Premiere Sequence.
If so...
I would Queue the Sequence to Media Encoder once from Premiere,
then duplicate the entry in the Queue (Ctrl+D) and assign the
different encode types to the duplicates in Media Encoder,
(instead of Queueing the Sequence multiple times).
...will the export files each have the different preset applied even though it was not rendered?
A Sequence will be encoded using the assigned settings.
You can set multiple encodes in the Queue, each with different settings.
I'm not sure what you mean by "even though it was not rendered...".
Unless you have specified 'Use Preview Files' in your encoding,
it will make no difference if your Sequence is 'Timeline Preview'
rendered or not.

New Mac Pro - some questions about setup and RAM

After debating between iMac and Mac Pro, I decided on a refurb SINGLE 2.8 quad-core Mac Pro.
Somewhere in these discussions (can't find it now) I thought I saw recommendations to zero out the hard drive and re-install the system when it arrives. Is this necessary?
Also, I plan to use the single processor savings to buy RAM. When I go to the Crucial site, they have a choice of RAM for 4-core or 8-core. Mine is only 4-core, but would I choose the 8-core option to get the correct RAM for 2008 models?
In general, when it comes to buying and installing RAM, should I follow the 8-core directions? Will having a single processor change anything to do with upgrades or expansion?
Thanks. Hope I didn't ask too much in one post.

Somewhere in these discussions (can't find it now) I thought I saw recommendations to zero out the hard drive and re-install the system when it arrives. Is this necessary?
No, that really isn't necessary. If you were prepping a new bare drive that had never been used or you were installing OS X on a drive that had once been used for Windows, then zeroing the drive is quite appropriate.
All the Mac Pros use the same type of RAM. The Late 2008 models use the faster PC2-6400 800 MHz RAM, but the other specs are the same - ECC, Fully buffered, heat sink. The RAM and installation is the same regardless of cores.
RAM should be installed minimally in matched pairs, optimally in matched quads. The following illustrations show how it should be installed:

Quick question about inheritance and exceptions

If I have two classes like this:
public class ClassA {
    public void myMethod() throws NumberFormatException {
      throw new NumberFormatException();
public class ClassB extends ClassA {
    public void myMethod() {
}Does myMethod() in classA override myMethod in classB?
And why?
Thank you,
V

I just want to add that since NumberFormatException is
a descendant of RuntimeException, you are not required
to declare that the method throws this exception. Some
people think it is a good idea to declare it anyway
for clarity. Personally, I don't think so.I agree.
I think Sun recommends that you don't declare unchecked exceptions in the method declaration, but do document them in the javadoc comments.

Quick question about MPE and GPU configuration.

I have 2 graphics card in my mac pro. I am trying to use one to drive the displays and dedicate the other solely to PPro MPE. My question is do i have to connect a display to the GPU to enable MPE?

Damn! I had a feeling it was like that. So in a dual monitor setup if I have a CUDA enabled card driving one display and a non cuda card driving the other will MPE work if i put just the program monitor in it and keep the rest in the other(non-CUDA) monitor?

New iPad Owner with Question About OS Upgrade

I just purchased a new iPad and I am under the impression that I'll be able to upgrade to OS4 when it's released for the iPad this fall. If I take the 3.2.1 upgrade that just came out, will that eliminate my ability to upgrade to OS4 for free when it's released?

What has been added/fixed from the original version 3.2?
http://support.apple.com/kb/DL1060
Does anyone know if it's worth upgrading?
It was for me on my 3G iPad, where the update did indeed improve the connectivity of the WiFi. Your results may vary. If your iPad isn't having any issues, there is probably no pressing need to upgrade.
I'm hearing some people are having trouble upgrading.
No matter what device, it's always the case that some people have problems with an upgrade. For the iPad, though, the vast majority have had no problems. I upgraded both of my iPads with no issues whatsoever.

Quick question about itunes

i went to the apple store and they told me there is a way to cut songs, for example making them shorter in the beginning or in the end when burning the cd. Im just wondering how i would be able to do that. thanks.

Get Info on the song and under the Options tab you can set start and stop times.

Quick question about AppleScript and "current playlist."

I have a few scrips that I'd like to have operate on whatever playlist is selected at the moment. The script dictionary has a "current playlist" object for iTunes, but it references the playlist the currently playing song is in, not the currently selected playlist. This is not what I want.
I suppose I could make iTunes play, pause, then stop in my script, but it seems like there has to be an easier way. Suggestions?

Hi,
Someone in the Applescript Forum might be able to help:

Quick Question about Authorisation and FMS

Hi,
Can someone tell me if it's possible configure FMS 3.5 so that it authenticates against Webseal so that only authorised users can have access to the media?
Thanks

Does the normal version of FMS support cookie passing? We have Webseal infront of FMS and it seems that our flash player doesn't always pass the authorisation cookie through.
Also could you expand more on the use of LoadVars, XML send/load, NetServices, or XMLSockets to communicate with Webseal?
Many Thanks

A quick question about WebDynpro SLD and R/3 with concurrent users

Hello ,
I have a very quick question about Webdynpros and SLD connecting to an R/3 system, when you configure a webdynpro to connect to an R/3 system using SLD, you configure a user name and password from the R/3 for the SLD to use. What I would like to know is when I have concurrent users of my webdynpro, how can I know what one user did in R/3 and what another user did? Is there a way for the users of the web dynpro to use their R/3 credentials so SLD can access the R/3? Like dynamically configuring the SLD for each user?
- I would like to avoid leaving their their passwords open in the code ( configuring two variable to get the users username and password and use these variables as JCO username and password )
Thanks Ubergeeks,
Guy

Hi Guy
You will have to use Single Sign On to achieve this. In the destination you have defined to connect to R/3 , there is an option to 'useSSO' instead of userid and password. This will ensure that calls to R/3 will be with the userid that has logged into WAS. You wont need to pass any passwords because a login ticket is generated from WAS and passed on to R/3. The userid is derived from this ticket.
For this to happen you will have to maintain a trust relation ship between R/3 and your WAS ,there is detailed documentation of this in help files. Configuration is very straight forward and is easy to perform
