Part-backup, full Library question

I'm about to get a 32GB flash drive (it's on offer) and will use it to backup some iTunes data. This includes a big project about 17GB in size, with lots of nested playlists and important tagged data. This will easily fit on the drive, along with my Favourites playlist. However, there isn't room for my entire iTunes folder which is over 38GB.
The question is, how to achieve this without losing any of the important stuff like playlists, tags, ratings, etc? I can, for example, drag the relevant playlists to the flash drive from within iTunes. I could also drag the iTunes Library files there too. But those will refer to the whole iTunes Library, not just the 66% - 75% of it I'm backing up.
What would happen if I ever tried to recreate iTunes on a different machine, from the iTunes Library file on the flash drive? The Library file and the music won't be in sync with each other.
I already have a full backup of iTunes on an external HDD, but this is 'important belt and braces' stuff - I want to know that my most important music and playlists and data are preserved should the worst ever happen and I need to use what's on the flash drive.

I don't think you can do exactly what you want to do -- not easily.
The following is just theoretical, but it might work (I would back up first to make sure!):
You could try selectively consolidating some items to an iTunes folder on the flash drive.  Consolidating, I believe, just copies files, not move them (or my references are out of date).  Then once there is a partial duplicate of the library on the flash drive you could copy the library files and artwork, etc. to the drive so you  reconstruct everything a normal iTunes folder would need to start with a partial version of your current library.  Of course there would be many broken links but you could use one of Dougscripts to remove dead links for the files you hadn't copied.
I have never consolidated but I think you change the media location preference in your iTunes preferences.  Then do not let it organize things when you close preferences -- you don't want to have it do it automatically for everything.  Select items to be copied in iTunes, then there will be a consolidate command you can use to consolidate selected items.  Go back and return your iTunes preferences to normal.

  • Sync problem - earlier today I updated both iTunes and my iPod Touch. Since then, I have tried syncing the two. The iPod Touch claims that there is no music on the iPod, however, when I connect it to my computer it says my full library is on there.

At present, I am unable to listen to songs on the iPod when not connected to the computer. What can I do to fix this?
    Thanks for any help!

    - Have you reset your iPod:
    Press and hold the On/Off Sleep/Wake button and the Home
    button at the same time for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
    - Next would be to backup your iPod and then restore you iPod from backup via iTunes.

  • Moving only part of iphoto library to external hard drive

    I would like to only move part of my iphoto library to an external hard drive.  Trying to archive my older pictures.  I know how to move the entire library but not so sure on how to move only parts of the library.  Do i need to create a second archived library and move the pictures I want to archive to that archived libary and then move the archived libary to an external hard drive?

    Here's one way to do it:
    Make sure the drive is formatted Mac OS Extended (Journaled)
    1. Quit iPhoto
    2. Copy the iPhoto Library from your Pictures Folder to the External Disk.
    Now you have two full versions of the Library.
    3. On the Internal library, trash the Events you don't want there
    Now you have a full copy of the Library on the External and a smaller subset on the Internal
    Some Notes:
    As a general rule: when deleting photos do them in batches of about 100 at a time. iPhoto can baulk at trashing large numbers at one go.
    You can choose which Library to open: Hold down the option (or alt) key key and launch iPhoto. From the resulting menu select 'Choose Library'
    You can keep the Library on the external updated with new imports using iPhoto Library Manager

  • Quick Multiple Library Question.

    Hi all,
    My wife's iPhoto library is hitting 60gigs. Time to split it up. My goal is to keep only this last year (2011) on her laptop and have years 2001-2010 in a separate library on and external HD. Now this library is ten plus years of cropping, adjusting, tagging, organizing and other heavy editing, so I'm trying to find a way to do this without reimporting the originals and modified folders and setting the whole thing back to square one...
    My question is this:
    Can I duplicate her existing iPhoto library and then just simply rename it?
    I'd move the renamed duplicate to the external HD, then she can just delete years 2001-20010 within the library on her laptop and then delete 2011 pics within the external HD one.
    That way all her events and folders and edits stay intact, right? 
    Thanks in advance,
    Derrick

    Make sure the external is formatted Mac OS Extended (Journaled).
    Here's one way to do what you want:
    1. Quit iPhoto.
    2. Copy the iPhoto Library from your Pictures Folder to the external drive.
    Now you have two full copies of the Library. To choose between them:  Hold down the option (or alt)  key and launch iPhoto. From the resulting menu select 'Choose Library'
    3. On the Internal Library, remove the pics you don't want with you all the time.
    Now you have one full library on the external and another smaller sub-set on the Internal.
    A couple of comments:
    a: Managing Multiple Libraries - including moving pics/albums/rolls and metadata between them - is greatly facilitated by using iPhoto Library Manager
    b: When you're removing the unwanted pics from the Internal Library you need to delete them in batches of about 100 or so. Trashing more at one time can cause problems with the database.
    c: Remember you need a back up on another disk for that Library on the External.

  • Best way to backup iphoto library to another computer

    Hi,
    I am looking for most efficent method  to backup iphoto library from one iMac27(running Lion) to another iMac21(running Snow Leopard).
    My iPhoto library is approx. 20GB.  So I am also concerned with performance too.
    Also, I only want to backup if iphoto library on iMac27 changes.  There is no point to keep backing up all the time if the library has not changed.
    I would also like to be able to schedule backup at certain time of the day. (Primarily overnight when I am not using the computer)
    I have looked at Chronosync.  It looks like it has the features I am looking for however I am concerned if it performs well. 
    What would you recommend for a solution to this process?
    Thanks and I look forward to your reply.
    ...Bruce

    Let me inform you of some things if I may.
    A lot of people "run out of room" or want to make a backup and naturally look to their other machine as a source of space they are not utilizing, this isn't the best approach.
    So let me inform you of your options.
    1: You can backup your entire boot drive contents in a rotating in time fashion with Apple's built in TimeMachine, which only restores, it's not bootable. You use a external storage drive for this. Just hook it up and go.
    2: You can make a hold option key bootable clone backup of your entire boot partition contents (not Lion Recovery Partition) in a permanent fashion that only changes if you change it or schedule it to change making a clone drive. Carbon Copy Cloner and you use a external drive for this. (best method as it's bootable in case your computer fails to boot normally)
    3: You can manually or automatically use software that "syncs" the contents of two folders to a storage drive (even in either direction). SyncTwoFolders
    What your asking to do is publish a shared folder on your network that resides on the Snow Leopard machine, you access it from the Lion machine over the Local Area Network and save your Lion iPhoto Library there using SyncTwoFolders like software.
    You can do this, however it's not advised, first off network transfers are slow and cumbersome to setup and maintain. Second your taking up precious drive space on the other computers drive.
    If this is what you want to do, then repeat your question again in a new topic, as my other machine is down and haven't done that in quite some time to remember the details exactly.
    The larger picture I see is it appears to me you have no backup plan at all, and I think a separate storage drive for each computer, which if you hook it up to OS X, will ask to make a TimeMachine drive, will then do so, copying and backing up your entire drive so you have a constant backup of everything.
    Also you should maintain a extra separate storage drive for each machine to keep a extra copy of your files in a permanent fashion, or to free up room on oyur boot drive, like what your trying to do with the other Mac.
    With each computer with it's own backup, they are not so dependent with each other if your needs change for instance and the machines have to be separated.
    The golden rule of backups is to maintain two seperate, easy accessible, hardware backup copies of your data at all times.
    TimeMachine is ok and works mostly, but not if it gets messed up if your machine gets messed up, or if your TM drive mechanically or software fails without your knowledge. So maintaining a another copy of your data on a storage drive in a pernament fashion is also advised.
    You can learn about TimeMachine here

  • Transferring *PART* of iTunes Library w/ an iPod:  Can this be done?

    Hi there:
    Before I ask the question, here's the summary of the basic sitaution. I've got iTunes 7.71 on my MacBook Pro and I've got a huge music library (approx 256 GB) that I keep on an external firewire drive. (In case it affects things, the overwhelming majority of stuff in the library consists of MP3 rips from my CD collection-- very little is from the iTunes store).
    I also have a 60 GB color display iPod that I use to listen to tunes when I'm at the gym, on planes, etc. Since my whole iTunes library does NOT fit on that, I don't try to sync my whole library to the iPod, but just a few selected playlists (which I keep in a playlist folder called "iPod playlists"), which total about 50 GB of songs.
    OK, got that? Now: here's the challenge:
    I just started work at a new job and I would really like to be able to transfer the iPod part of my library only to the (Windows) machine I have there... the songs/playlists, etc. (I don't want/need all 256 GB of my library there... and in fact, I'm pretty sure there wouldn't be enough room on the machine for it. Also, I don't want to just plug in my iPod or an iPod dock and play from that, as I really like all the additional sorting functionality that iTunes offers, and frankly, I just know I'd be forgetting and leaving my iPod at work half the time if I did that, and be kicking myself later when I had nothing to listen to at the gym..)
    So: Can I do this? If so how?
    I searched around among the support documents and found very detailed instructions on how one can use an iPod to transfer a WHOLE library from one computer to another (http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1329). But that's not what I want to do here-- and the size of my main library precludes it anyway. I ONLY want to transfer the part of my library that I put on my iPod to my work machine.
    There ought to be an easy way to do this, I think-- but I can't seem to find it. Or is it impossible? Can anyone out there please point me to info on how this can be done? Or just tell me? Thanks!

    Thanks for a clear explanation of your situation. You should be able to use your iPod to do this...
    There is one issue. If you currently sync the iPod to a Mac, it will be formatted for Mac (Mac OS Extended aka HFS+). Windows PCs cannot read the Mac format. However, Macs can read and write the Windows format (FAT32). So that is part of the solution.
    In order to use the iPod as the means of transferring the files, you'll have to connect it to the PC and Restore it in iTunes. This should erase and initialize the iPod, and change the format to Windows. Don't put any songs on it. You should enable disk use and set not to start iTunes when connected.
    Now connect it to your Mac. If iTunes does start and asks if you want to sync it to the Mac, say Cancel or No. Quit iTunes. Hopefully, the iPod appears on your Desktop as an external hard drive. Since you did not load any iTunes songs on it, most of the hard drive's space should be available. Create a new folder at the top level to hold your +to be transferred+ files. You can name it Transfer (or whatever you want). Have a Finder window open so that you can see this folder (or see into the folder).
    Start iTunes. Select that "iPod playlist" playlist in the sidebar so the main pane in the iTunes window shows the songs you want to transfer. Do a +Select All+ so that all the songs get selected. Drag all the songs from the iTunes window and drop them onto the Transfer folder. iTunes and Finder should work together to make a copy of all the song files onto the iPod. They will be visible, because you are using the iPod as a hard drive.
    Connect the iPod to the PC and use Windows Explorer or My Computer to copy the files off the iPod. If you use the default settings in iTunes, namely the preference (on the Advanced tab) to +Copy files to iTunes Music folder when adding to library+, you can actually run iTunes and drag/drop the whole transfer folder icon from the iPod to the open iTunes window. iTunes should copy the files to the iTunes Music library, and organize based on artist and album. You'll be copying the files and adding the songs to the iTunes library at the same time...!
    Once you are done, Restore it in iTunes on the Mac to put it back to the proper Mac format.
    You can, of course, substitute a regular external hard drive (formatted on the PC as FAT32) and not have to mess with your iPod's formatting. That would make things a bit easier.

  • Laptop stollen, how do I get my full library back?

    My Laptop was stollen and I just bought a new one.  I insalled Itunes and thought my full library would be there.  Is there a ways to recover my full library?

    Install itunes
    log in to your apple account in the itunes store.
    go to store in your menu bar and turn on itunes match.
    give it time to show up in the music, depending on how large your library is.
    Should work just like that. 
    You will still have to download everything if you want hard copies on your computer.  (I would still backup your music.)

  • Backup full with DataPump without sys o system password

    Hi
    I am into the OS connected as oracle user which is the owner of the Oracle Software. I can connect to the database so : sqlplus / as sysdba without problems. Now I want backup full with DataPump and export utility without sys o system password.
    How would be the command line ?
    Thanks

    None,
    as Oracle advises expressly against exporting as the SYS user (when you issue / as sysdba, you are connected as SYS).
    So you need to override the SYSTEM password using a documented method, via ALTER USER.
    Apart from that: syntax questions are preferably not asked here as they make you look having lack of industry.

  • This VI claims to be part of a library, but the library does not claim to own this VI.

    I am having a reoccurring issue with "This VI claims to be part of a library, but the library does not claim to own this VI." I can work around this by disconnecting the vi from the library and then saving it back.
    However, I cannot access some vi because I don't have a password. Sub-vi's are not executable and I am thinking this is due to the issue first mentioned. For example, after relinking to a library the vi in question is now having class conflicts. I cannot modify this vi to fix it.
    I believe this issue is responsible for certain functionality of my project to work for months on end and then suddenly the functionality stops working. After investigating, I find that there is an issue with some .lvlib, and using a different vi from that library will solve the issue (for example, switching from standard report to html report). I think this may be related to "This VI claims to be part of a library, but the library does not claim to own this VI."
    This seems to be happening since installation of version 10.

  • ICloud photo library questions

    Hi,
    sorry in advance for my poor english, but i'll try to explain the best that i can...
    I have an iPhone 6 128GB and an iPad Air 128 GB.
    All my pictures were taken using my iPhone (restored icloud backup from iPhone 5s and I have 1200 photos)
    With iOs 8.0.2 I enables iCloud Photo Library on both iPhone and iPad.
    Well. Now on my iPad i choose the optimized version of photos to preserve space, but the photos don't download automatically, as i see only blank previews in photos app.
    I need to scroll the library and they eventually start to download to ipad... Doing this i have the full library on ipad and it keeps more or less 600 MB.
    On iphone i also chose to keep only optimized version, but the total sotrage capacity occupied by photos keep being 4,9 GB (as before enabling iCloud Photo library)
    As what i understood, it sould have decreased the gb occupied by photos as on ipad... is it correct?
    Also, on iPad, if i disable icloud photo library, it says that all photos are going to be removed form ipad, but this does not happen on iphone, like it did not understood that on iphone there are only optimised versions...
    Could someone explain me whaty is going on?
    thank you
    Paolo

    just to correct something wrong that I said: if iCloud Photo Library and PhotoStream are activated, PhotoStream won't actually eat any space and it will behave like it did in iOS 8.0 - 8.0.2, seamlessly integrated in Photos. Now if iCloud Photo Library is off and PhotoStream is still on, a new album will be created, containing low res versions of both uploaded and downloaded files (like in iOS 7), using local storage again.
    Anyway ... expecting iCloud Photo Library to get out of beta ASAP and PhotoStream to go ... for good.

  • How to Time Machine backup iPhoto library stored on external drive

    Hi Mac users.
    Can you kindly teach me how to backup iphoto library stored on an external drive to my external time machine drive. My internal drive is full so I moved my iPhoto library to a separate drive and deleted the library to create space. Thank you.

    Actually there's nothing to do.  TM backs up all connected volumes automatically.  One has to exclude a volume or folder(s) to keep them from being backed up in the TM preferences.
    If you find that the EHD is not being backed up exclude it and the "unexclude" it and force a new backup.

  • How do I create a dvd backup of library in the very latest iTunes,with windows xp?

    How do I create a dvd backup of library with itunes version 11.1.4.62? Using windows xp.

    Hi meatmailbox,
    Welcome to the Support Communities!
    The best way to backup your iTunes library is to an external hard drive.  The article below will explain how to do this.   If you want the files on a CD or DVD, you would need to create playlists.  I'll include that information as well.
