New windows unable to locate file (music) while external HD is plugged in?

My computer was recently updated from XP to newer version of windows. My itunes acct no longer identifies or locates the music in my external HD. With the exception of my ituens purchases, my personnel music are listed as only files in my itunes acct. When I click on the song (file) it states unable to locate file even though my External HD with the music is plugged into the computer. Any help would be appreciated...

Hello 16to87,
After reviewing your post, I have located an article that can help in this situation. It contains advice on locating your iTunes library:
iTunes: How to open an alternate iTunes Library file or create a new one
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1589
Create or choose a different iTunes Library file
If iTunes is running, quit iTunes.
If you're using Windows, hold down the Shift key and from the Start menu, choose All Programs > iTunes > iTunes.
If you're using a Mac, open iTunes and immediately hold down the Option key.
You should see one of these screens:
If you don't see one of the screens above, you may want to try again. Remember to hold down the Option key if you're using a Mac or the Shift key if you're using Windows.
Thank you for contributing to Apple Support Communities.
Cheers,

I can not right click "open in new tab" nor open in new window, in my bookmark file.the bookmarks are all there, but I have to open a tab first then left click to open an item. Why can't I right click? The options are there, but not highlighted/clickable.

Why is my Windows 8 computer unable to locate my music files?

My itunes are in the cloud. My ipad and iphone pull all songs from the cloud as did my old Vista computer. My new Windows 8 computer does not recognize that my music files are in the cloud. When attempting to play a song, a window will pop up saying " The song could not be used because the original file could not be found. Would you like to locate it?" Song files were also transferred over and it is unable to locate those as well. This is a problem for another computer user because her songs are not in the cloud.

If the media is in the cloud then it is not synced to any devices.
It cannot be both ways.
Was the media moved from the old computer to the new computer? Installing iTunes does not cause this to magically happen.

'Windows cannot install required files' error while installing Vista SP1

I'm installing Vista Client SP1 on my Macbook pro and getting the following error:
Windows cannot install required files. Make sure all files required for installation are available, and restart the installation.
Almost exactly as described in this KB article: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/930984/ except my error code is 0x80070017. I'm double-checked CRC on my dvd to ensure it's not corrupt. Also I've previously successfully installed Vista SP1 from the SAME DVD on a different Mac Leopard (desktop)
Any ideas? This is a new Macbook pro, just got it yesterday. Could be DVD drive issue?
Thanks!

Did you get far enough to delete the FAT partition BootCamp created, so you could create a new NTFS one?

How to display a blob in a new window (without saving as file)

Hi,
I have been using the excellent as_pdf3 PLSql utility to create a pdf at run time. The result works great if I save the blob to file, however, I don't want to clutter up the "server", so I would like to send the blob down to the user by opening a new window (pdf reader) and then give the user the option to save where they wish.
I am running Apex 4.1.1, Oracle 11GXE with Apex Listener under Glassfish opensource on Ubuntu Server 11.2.
I've hunted left right and centre, and either I've not got the correct combination of words in the search, or the question has never been raised.
Can anyone give me some pointers and/or code to assist ?

I will try this when I get back home - travelling at the moment.
A bit more background....... I have a Function that is called to produce a yearly calendar view of rentals for a home, along with the rental prices - this has already been written using the as_pdf3 package, which can either physically create the report on the server (using utl_file), or it can return the blob direct.
On the screen, the user can select the years that they wish to see in the report, push a button which will pass the parameters into the above said function, and then launch the "blob" in another window (as the blob is PDF format, it would launch the users PDF reader) - if the user then wants to save the report, they can do (using PDF reader) - this avoids me a) saving and housekeeping a file(s) on the server, b) I don't have to enable utl_file for the schema

Opening a link in a new window puts its entry in history while browsing in private mode.Does it suppose to work in this way?

<blockquote>Locking duplicate thread.<br>
Please continue here: [/questions/785616]</blockquote><br>
I have set Firefox to never remember history.This is equivalent to private browsing but whenever I open a link in a new window I can see an entry in the History menu under "Recently Closed Windows". Firefox should not remember any type of history when I already said it do so.

Hi,
the only way I know of the is to go to file and click for a new Window.
Sounds like tabs maybe your thing, from Safari's Helpviewer. for more info look there.......
To turn on tabbed browsing, choose Preferences from the Safari menu and click Tab. Select Enable Tabbed Browsing.
To open a link or bookmark in the bookmarks bar in a new tab, hold down the Command key and click the item, or hold down the Control key, click the item, and choose Open in New Tab from the shortcut menu.
To open a bookmark collection in the bookmarks bar or a folder of bookmarks in the Bookmarks Library in tabs, hold down the Control key, click the collection or folder, and choose Open in Tabs from the shortcut menu.
If you select the Auto-Click checkbox for a folder in the bookmarks bar, then you can open all the bookmarks in the folder in tabs by clicking the folder name in the bookmarks bar.
To open a webpage in a new tab, choose New Tab from the File menu and type the address for the page.
To close a tab, click the close button in the tab.
To quickly switch between tabs, press Command-Shift-[ and Command-Shift-].
To show a webpage that is in a tab and close all other tabs, hold down the Option key and click the close box in the tab you want to remain open.
When you click a link in a page you are viewing in a tab, the page opens in the current tab. Click the Back and Forward buttons in the address bar to scan pages you have opened in a tab.
If you choose a page from the History or Bookmarks menu, the page opens in the current tab.
Hope it helps you do what i think you are looking for.
Cheers

Firefox keeps opening up a new window with "index of file///c /program files/mozila firefox" as I'm browsing, how do I stop this?

every time I open firefox after about 2 minutes a new window pops up with 2 tabs, one saying problem loading page, the other shows a list of program files, thier size and when the were last modified. When I close it, it pops back up again in a few minutes.

If you get a program called malware bytes it blocks that window from popping up. Hope that helps :)

Firefox won't spawn a new window, either from the File menu or by right-clicking a link

I can't get Firefox to open a new window under any circumstances. Not from the file menu, and not by right-clicking on a link. This has been going on for at least a week, and I don't know what changed before it started happening.
== This happened ==
Every time Firefox opened

Disable or Uninstall ZoneAlarm Toolbar. They are still having problems with it in current Firefox.

Unable to listen to music while iPod is connected to computer

Whenever I connect the iPod(5th Gen) to my computer it shows Do Not Disconnect message and am unable to listen to music. Also, if music is playing previously, it stops automatically. Can anyone help? Just been two days since I bought my iPod

Try this for your Do Not Disconnect issue:
Connect your iPod and in iTunes go to Preferences>iPod. Under the Music tab see if you have your iPod set to automatically sync with iTunes and also have a tick in the box marked “enable disk use". Remove this tick and your iPod should automatically disconnect after it’s finished updating.
If you have your iPod set to manual update, the box will be greyed out and ticked by default, in that case use Safely remove Hardware icon or check this link: "Disconnecting iPod from your computer
" http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=61135
Just another point to note, your iPod needs to be in manual mode to listen to it while connected to your PC. In automatic mode you will see the iPod library greyed out and inaccessible.

How to prevent New Window from offsetting location from previous windows?

I'm anal retentive. I like a tidy screen. I place all Firefox windows at top left corner of the screen. Each successive New Window arrives offset a small distance to the right, so that it does not cover the previous window. That's terrific, except... I do not want that behavior. I am constantly repositioning the New Window so that it too starts at the top left corner of the screen. It would be delightful if there were a Preferences option to allow New Windows to NOT be automatically offset to the right of the previous Firefox window.

Hi scogordo,
What is the wsp? Is it a migrated workflow?
Whether the wsp has the relationship with the problematic workflow.
You said that the workflow isn't being triggered by a timer job, what is the time job? Or, you mean the workflow cannpt be triggered automatically when an item is added or changed or other.
If the workflow cannot start automatically when an item is added or changed, you need to make sure you are not using the System Account.
Best Regards,
Wendy

Locating files on an external drive

My iTunes library is saved on an external drive as it's too big for my laptop's HD. I now also access it from a MacBook at work.
I've had no problem accessing my library on Mac, but I now can't locate files from my PC. I get an '!' with every file, which I can then locate individually, but iTune doesn't seem to find the entire library in the right drive & folder (I've set the right address in Preferences).
Can anyone help?
Thanks!

I've got the exact same problem after I moved my pictures out of the Aperture library and into a Master folder on the local harddrive, where the pictures are organized into folders by year/month/date.
All pictures imported after the "switch" are Online and the old ones (about 15000) are Offline.
In Aperture I select all the photos in my library, go File -> Locate referenced files and a window shows.
In the upper left half of the window there is a list over the files that are Online and Offline. The thing is that the Offline files have the correct file path, but the volume is set to <null>.
I have selected a file that is Offline in the upper half of the window, and in the lower half I select the exact file path and push button labelled Reconnect. The selected file now shows in the the category of Online files, as expected. If i push the button labelled Reconnect All, the same thing happens with that one file selected, but not with any of the other offline files. I have also tried to first push Reconnect then followed by Reconnect All, with the same result. I really don't want to repeat this process 15000 more times...
Is there an other way to update the offline files with the correct Volume information?

HT1203 I moved my Itunes media folder to my public folder in my home folder so that my wife can share my music when she logs on to my computer. Since then aperture has been unable to locate the music files and I cannot add any of my itunes files to a slid

I moved my itunes media folder to my public folder in my home folder so that my wife can share my music when she logs on as a user. Since doing this Aperture cannot locate any itunes music files and so I cannot add any music to a slideshow. All of my existing slideshows no longer play music. Can anyone help?
Thanks

Thank you for your prompt response - I did as you said and did a drag and drop into the iTunes window - it imported and got my album art from the net. When I started Itunes with the shift key down I was prompted to choose a library but since I copied over the media folder and not the library folder I was unable to select that so I guess I will have to create a new library and add in all the music, videos, etc. unless I wait for my laptop and export the library or at least that seems to be the case? In short, all my data (iTunes media folder) is on my external drive and can be added to the blank iTunes screen but I can not choose a library folder. Is there anyway around completely making all those playlists again? I am not sure my laptop will survive the shop with data intact and really hate to start over on those.
In an unrelated question - I collect old TV shows from the 1950's. Can I make playlists within the home video folder somehow? In other words like one for Quiz shows, one for comedies, one for police and detective shows, etc. while I am remaking all my playlists for my music if I end up having to go that route?
Once again thank you for helping me out. I am not too Itunes savvy and really appreciate you taking the time to answer.

Windows cannot install required files error while installing on brand new SSD

Hello,
Recently I upgraded my Dell Inspiron 15R with SSD and wanted to install Windows 8.1 pro 64-bit on it. I downloaded the windows from Dreamspark with Secure download manager. I made a bootable USB stick twice with
Windows USB/DVD Download tool, booted the windows setup, formatted the ssd and tried to install when i got this error. As I recall the error code was something like this "error 0x80070570". Any advice how to overcome
this problem?

I would rebuild your USB install drive, you might have ended up with some corrupted files. Was this computer shipped with Win 8? if not then you'll need to set up your USB to boot UEFI, IE is has to be formatted fat 32, then on boot up hit which ever key
on your computer that brings up a boot menu select you UEFI USB drive
