New User Question: Make iTunes look like the My Music folder on my PC

Hello
I newbie question. I just bought a 60g with Video.
I use Winamp for my PC, and use a Plug-in called "Dynamic Library". This allows me to see directly into my "My Music" folder while using Winamp.
Is there something similar to this that I have missed? Or, to put it another way...is there a way to have a folder created for each artist rather than a list of each song and each artist? This would enable me to scroll by artist then click that artist to see song lists (hopefully)
iTunes has a list of 5000 songs making it difficult to scroll efficiently. I really hope I don't have to manually create hundreds of playlists (one for each artist) so that I can find a song quickly.
As always, I apologize in advance if this is incredibly obvious and I have had a brain **** and missed it.
Thanks for any feedback.

I see that. Here's an example of what I'm trying to do. In my My Music folder, I had a folder called "one hit wonders," iTunes has divided this into each artist or its album. My original folder was a mix of several one hit wonder albums. Then I find out that you have to manually add album art to each artist. There was a appropriate album art in each folder. I am just surprised that iTunes couldn't automatically recognize this when it originally downloaded each folder.
I have just spent so much time organizing my "My Music" folder...untold hours. Now I'm basically looking to go through that all over again.
I wonder if I had selected "manually label each folder" or whatever the choice was when iTunes started if this would be different?

Hey-o,
I want to make iTunes look like Winamp. The old Winamp, around version 2 or 3, not the new one. How can I pull that off??

How to make it look like the camera is following a zig zagging line

I have an animated video where a person clicks a button and an arrow appears coming out of the right side of the computer. I would like to make it look like the camera follows the arrow as it zooms along a zig zag path and eventually ends at another computer. Does anyone know of any good tutorials for this?
Thanks,
Paul

This is just a matter of keyframes for camera position and point of interest.You are probably not going to find a tutorial that exactly matches your project. Try this:
Open up 2 views, one active camera, one top view.
Set a position keyframe for the camera where you want the movement to start.
Drag the point of interest to point at your subject (animated arrow)
Using the top view and setting the CTI (current time indicator) to the end point of the camera move, move the camera's point of interest to the same position as the animated arrow
Still in the top view, move the camera to it's final position
Using the pen tool (keyboard shortcut g) add points to the camera position path and drag them into a zig zag shape using the top view
Selecting the Point of interest in the timeline, adjust the position of the point of interest to follow the arrow as it animates across the screen by moving the CTI and setting new positions.
Another thing you could do would be just to use a lookAt expression for point of interest. This would keep the camera pointed at the arrow.
Hope this helps. Animating a camera is one of the most basic skills an AE artist should have. It takes a bit of practice but it's not hard.

How to make it look like the actors are watching TV

Hi,
I am looking to add an effect in Adobe Premiere Pro CC to make it look like the actors are watching TV in the dark. Just a soft pulsating, bluish-white light that may vary throughout. Does anyone know how to do this? I've tried scouring the internet but haven't found much. I'm a beginner for sure, but trying to learn!
Thanks so much,
-Andy

In the effects panel type "light" in the search box. This will bring up all the lighting effects in Pr. Adjusr/Lighting or Stylize/Strobe might work for you. There are a lot of adjustments you can key in until you find what suits your needs.

ITunes cannot find the "My music" folder

Whenever I try to open iTunes, it fails to open and instead I get an error message saying "The folder "iTunes" cannot be found or created, and is required. The default location for this folder is inside the "My Music" folder".
Last time I used iTunes I had moved my My Music folder to my external hard drive, I even told iTunes in the settings the new location. It worked for a while (it's not my main music player, I only use it to synch my iPod) but now I get this annoying error message.
I can't even get into iTunes to change the settings and tell it where the music now is, because it won't open and I have tried uninstalling it, deleting all the folders and reinstalling it more times than I care to count. The only thing slightly different to normal is that My Music folder is actually called "<Windows Logon name>'s Music", which could be confusing the poor program.
Could anyone help please?

This is normally a registry issue, the location of My Music is not correctly set, see this Apple article:
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=302398
If you have a prexisting iTunes installation with library, you may be able to work round this but starting iTunes with the shift key held down. When asked to choose a library, navigate to the iTunes folder and choose iTunes Library.itl. This doesn't fix the basic registry problem though.

Is it possible to make the new iTunes look like the older version, which actually worked?, Is it possible to make the new iTunes look like the older version, which actually worked?

The current version of iTunes is rubbish. Half the time when I try to drag and drop new items to my iPod I get an error message. Why? It is not obvious how to create playlists, then when you finally manage do so using the top menu, you click 'Done' and it disappears. ***? This is a dog's breakfast and the developer should be sacked.
Apparently it is possible to set it up so that it looks and behaves like the earlier version, which worked fine--devices and playlists all appeared in fixed position o the left-hand-side men (why mess with this tried-and-true formula?). But I can't work out how to do this. Would appreciate some guidance.

It is very similar to the old version.
Just select the sidebar to be visible and it is mostly like the old version.

Try disabling graphics hardware acceleration. Since this feature was added to Firefox, it has gradually improved, but there still are a few glitches.
You might need to restart Firefox in order for this to take effect, so save all work first (e.g., mail you are composing, online documents you're editing, etc.).
Then perform these steps:
*Click the orange Firefox button at the top left, then select the "Options" button, or, if there is no Firefox button at the top, go to Tools > Options.
*In the Firefox options window click the ''Advanced'' tab, then select "General".
*In the settings list, you should find the ''Use hardware acceleration when available'' checkbox. Uncheck this checkbox.
*Now, restart Firefox and see if the problems persist.
Additionally, please check for updates for your graphics driver by following the steps mentioned in the following Knowledge base articles:

I just downloaded the new 4.0 an now when I click on the tab it won't even load up, it'll look like the page will show up but then it won't an the it'll look like I never even clicked on it. What is going on? Why won't firefox work?

My firefox was working perfectly before when I had the 3.6 but now it just won't load up at ALL! I've dealt with it crashing on me while I was on the internet but I've never clicked on the tab OVER an OVER again an still not even having the home page show up on my screen. Its getting really frustrating and I now really wish I'd of just left my firefox the way it was. . .can you please help me??

Please do the following. 
#Use Internet Explorer 8 or 9 and go to [http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/firefox/fx/?ref=logo Download Firefox 4.0.1] Do not choose "Run" when you see the prompt, but instead choose "Save" and save the file to your desktop. 
#Then go to Add/Remove Programs, scroll down to "Mozilla Firefox" and remove it, choosing to keep your bookmarks, customizations etc., (don't checkmark the box). 
#Then reboot and delete the folder called "Mozilla Firefox" at this location: C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox 
#Finally run the installation file you downloaded to the desktop earlier. 
Your bookmarks, customizations etc., are maintained in a different location and will become available to you again once you complete the installation. 
'''To reset your home page, do the following'''. 
* Go to the site you want to set as your homepage. 
* Click the orange Firefox button and go to '''Options '''| '''Options '''| '''General'''. 
* Make sure it says "''Show My Homepage''" in the first dropdown menu. 
* Click the button called "'''Use Current Pages'''" to set the homepage to the one you have on the screen. 
Here are a few tips to make FF4 look like the previous version in case you don't like the new design. 
* Right click a blank part of the tab bar and click "Tabs on top" to remove the checkmark. Tabs will subsequently reappear below the search bar. 
* Repeat the same steps, but click the top one called "Menu bar". This will reinstate the text links at the top. 
* To rearrange the layout, repeat the same steps again and choose "Customize". A panel will open and while that remains onscreen, you can move elements like toolbars, buttons etc around and place them anywhere you wish. You can also drag anything you don't like into that panel and add anything you want by dragging it out of there.

How do I make itunes look for my media files on the external hardrive

I've moved as far as I can tell all my music, videos etc. to an external drive but even though I've set itunes to look for it there in edit-preferences-advanced it still won't go there. In my list everything has the exclamation next to it and when I try to "get info" it says the original can't be found and I have to "find" it. I obviously can't do that for thousands of songs. I just updated the software on both my ipod and itunes and still nothing. I also reset my ipod and it still won't pick it up. My media files are under I:\My Music\iTunes Music\iTunes Music
Any ideas?

As implied above, iTunes struggles if you move the content around by hand. Changing the location under Edit > Preferences > Advanced tells iTunes where to put new content, not where to look for the old stuff. That said, if you move the library files and the media at the same time, keeping the relative paths from the library to the media unchanged then iTunes usually manages to work everything out.
If you copied the iTunes folder over already, then the steps above should sort you out. If not it might be time to get your library sorted out propery.
The path you mention, I:\My Music\iTunes Music\iTunes Music, looks like it has one too many levels and is the older name for the media folder. Ideally you want your library files at the root of the drive, e.g. I:\iTunes and the media folder inside that at I:\iTunes\iTunes Media. Again, ideally, your folder structure should look like the one on the right in this detatil copied from one of my older posts:
If you have upgraded from version 8 (or earlier) to iTunes 9 (or later) at some point, then your media folder (everything inside the red outline) may still be called iTunes Music instead of iTunes Media. The extra Music folder inside the media folder is used if you have allowed iTunes to Upgrade to iTunes Media Organization (iTunes 9) or used File > Library > Organize Library > Reorganize files in the folder "<Media Folder>" (iTunes 10). Depending on your choices for Keep iTunes Media folder organized and Copy files to iTunes Media folder when adding to library plus a little bug in which one build changed the name of the file storing the choice of layout it is quite easy for some of your files to be organized according to one layout and some the other.
If everything is set out like that then iTunes should be able to find things by itself, but if it needs a hand my script FindTracks should be able to relink any files that iTunes can't locate.

How to make HD look like 4K

I found this article rather interesting. If I had to try and make a silk purse out of a sow's ear, I would read this one again.
RedShark News - How to make HD look like 4K

I'd forgotten about RedShark in general ... thanks for the heads-up.
And the point about the "impression" being at times more important than the reality (especially if not well handled) is well taken. Working professional stills for many years now ... I've had large prints that even at close inspection looked much cleaner, sharper, and less noisy than other photog's made who had "larger" sensors ... but did their post not as righteously as I did. How you set up & shoot the image/s in the first place matters ... as does how you handle your post & output.
Craft matters ...
