Problem Transferring items between computers

Hi, I followed the instructions under Transferring items between computers, and the pc I tranferred to gives me an error message stating: "Document is not licensed for this device type." Both devices are HP with WIndows 7. The ebook opens just fine on one HP, but not on the second HP. How can I get it to open successfully on both computers? Thank you.

Ken,
If you need to regularly transfer data then I'd set up an Ethernet connection to file share and then transfer (modern Macs have at least 100BaseT Ethernet (which is around 12MBps max).
If it's a irregular transfer you don't do often then using Firewire Target Disk Mode (theoretical 50MBps max) is probably easiest:
Connect the two Macs with a 6pin-to-6pin Firewire cable.
Restart the donor Mac which has the files on it and hold down the T key.
The hard disk of the donor Mac will appear on the second Mac.
Transfer your files.
Drag the hard disk of the donor Mac to the Trash to unmount it.
Power down the donor Mac using the power button.
Other options include networking over Firewire (again about 50Mbps but some overheads for the protocols involved) or Airport (original approx 1MBps max, Extreme approx 6MBps max).

PLEASE HELP LOCATE SONGS FROM EXTERNAL HD (Cloud)

First off, I would like to thank ANYONE who can help me out please! I am desperate now for some advice to help me through this, I have spent the last 10 Hours (Not Exaggerating) trying to find a solution to my problem online and reading through countless things I HAVE NOT been able to get an answer to resolve the issue that I am having. Please I beg you to help me! I just wanna call Apple Support so that someone can walk me through this but I am using a Windows and they won't take calls from Windows users (which is kind of lame since I am an Iphone/Ipad/Itunes customer just not on an Apple Computer) and honestly I would even pay money to have this issue fixed already I just don't wanna waste any more time on it!!!
SO, that being said. Here is the most concise explanation I can give you of my troubles!
1. I have both a Laptop and a Desktop. My Laptop has been my primary source for Itunes for the passed 8 years, however, it is old and I want to start using my Desktop for Itunes from now on..also, I NEED to free up space on my Laptop so that I can back up my Iphone 5 which has a broken screen, but that's another story!
2. I Purchased something called a "WD MY CLOUD" Which is basically a personal ICloud that has 2TB of external HD Space on it. I hooked up my WDMyCloud and configured it, got it working perfectly, and I began the multiple hour long process to transfer my ITUNES Folder from my Laptop over to the WDMyCloud.
3. All of the files and songs were successfully transferred from my Laptop to the WDMyCloud.
4. I Installed Itunes onto my Desktop.
5. I shift+clicked Itunes and chose the Itunes Library from my WDMyCloud. I believe the file is found in: \\WDMYCLOUD\Oliver\iTunes\iTunes Library. (And that is the .itl)
6. When I have Itunes open, I go to preferences, and I change the MEDIA Folder to the iTunes Music Folder located on my WDMyCloud. I believe the file is found as: \\WDMYCLOUD\Oliver\Itunes\iTunes Music. (It does have all of my songs in there on the WDMyCloud in Folders by Album or however itunes had it organized)
7. Now I am staring at my Itunes Playlists and All of my Songs are there, however, whenever I try to Play ANY Song on there I receive this error: "The song "xx" could not be used because the original file could not be found. Would you like to Locate it?" (And no, I would not like to manually locate over 3,000 songs)
Also, every single Song has an "!" Exclamation mark next to it.
8. If I use "Get Info" about the track to see where Itunes is looking for the track, I will show you an example now here to what it says:
"file://localhost/C:/Users/Oliver/Downloads/Firebeatz - Gangster (Original Mix).mp3"
(Now I do realize that this is incorrect, it should be looking for the songs in my WDMyCloud, that path above is from my Laptop's Downloads Folder and I have no idea how to fix this.)
9. I have also tried using the "FindTracks.vbs" on my \\WDMYCLOUD\Oliver\Itunes\iTunes Music Folder and this did nothing, at all.
10. I have opened the Itunes Library XML that is saved onto my WDMyCloud from my Laptop, and it shows the script as:
<plist version="1.0"><dict><key>Major Version</key><integer>1</integer><key>Minor Version</key><integer>1</integer><key>Date</key><date>2014-05-24T16:40:35Z</date><key>Application Version</key><string>11.2</string><key>Features</key><integer>5</integer><key>Show Content Ratings</key><true/><key>Music Folder</key><string>file://localhost//WDMYCLOUD/Oliver/Itunes/iTunes%20Music</string><key>Library Persistent ID</key><string>5C3728163E81BB1D</string><key>Tracks</key>
<p
^^ Now I'm not really sure how clumped up that is going to look once I post cuz when I tried copy/pasting it from the XML on to here it came out looking super weird, but as you can see the key thing there is that the file it says it's looking in is the Itunes Music file in my WDMyCloud. So I don't know what could be wrong with the XML script path if there is anything wrong with it at all. The rest of the XML is super super long list of all my tracks and albums an such which is obviously unimportant to this matter. But maybe this can help figure out my problem.
Anyway, that's about as far as I was able to get after 10 hours of research, and like I said, still no solution. I'm stuck! Please please please help me figure this out! One of the biggest reasons I purchased this WDMyCloud was to use it as a consistent Itunes mediator between my devices and I absolutely MUST free up space on my Laptop ASAP and this is the only way! Thank you so much for your help in advance!!

See Make a split library portable for some general advice on making a working library portable. It should be less hassle than fixing a broken one.
Since the library works perfectly on the laptop I would suggest you start over and do it like this;
1. Create a new iTunes folder in the root of the external as \\WDMYCLOUD\iTunes (capitalised as shown please, just to appease my OCD)
2. Copy into it the following items from C:\Users\Oliver\Music\iTunes
Album Artwork
iTunes Library.itl
iTunes Library Extras.itdb
iTunes Library Genius.itdb
sentinel
3. Shift-start iTunes and open the library at \\WDMYCLOUD\iTunes\iTunes Library.itl
4. Under Edit > Preferences > Advanced change the media folder to \\WDMYCLOUD\iTunes\iTunes Media (again capitalised as shown please)
5. Use File > Library > Organize Library. Tick both boxes, or the one that isn't greyed out, then click OK.
iTunes will gather in copies of all your media files, putting them into the correct locations so that the library is in the modern layout, and able to be moved from one machine to another.
I'd recommend you clone the entire iTunes folder to another drive (see this backup tip) before you think about cleaning the originals.
If your library is large then having the library files on a network share will slow things down as the database has to be written out almost any time you do anything with your library. Once you've connected the library to the new computer and had it opened and working you can copy the library files and Album Artwork folder into the local C:\Users\Oliver\Music\iTunes folder (deleteing what is already there first) then shift-start-iTunes and connect to C:\Users\Oliver\Music\iTunes\iTunes Library.itl. If/when you want to move the library to a different drive/computer copy the files back out to the drive and access the library there at lease once before the move.

I DESPERATLY NEED HELP TRANSFERING SONGS FROM IPOD TO ITUNES LIBRARY

hi my computer crashed downstairs and i need help moving all my songs from my ipod to my itunes library, on the other computer...will someone please help me?

Hello Markatkis,
Make sure your not connecting it to more than one PC. A new iPOd is set to "Auto Update" by default. With this setting all you do is plug the iPOd into the PC and iTUnes automaticly opens, loads all the songs it has listed in iTunes to the iPod, and after its done, ejects the iPOd.
If you connect it to another PC tho with iTUnes on it you usually get a promtp that in short says "iPOd library linked to another PC, do you want to link to this one" if you click yes, it wipes the iPOd clean and loads only whats on that PC.
Since your new to all of this a great place for you may be the "iPod 101" site. It will show you all the bacis ropes of using your iPOd, using iTUnes, and using them both together. http://www.apple.com/support/ipod101/

Help transferring songs from Ipod, can't download Itunes 7

I have an ipod mini, and manually update the songs on my imac G5. I did not realise I couldn't then transfer the songs back to my itunes library. I've seen a previous topic which mentions enabling disk use, can I do this on a mini? How? I tried to install Itunes 7 on my mac but couldn't because I need OSX 10.3.9 and I'm 10.3.5.
All the instructions are confusing me, I need something simple to explain how I can get my songs off my ipod without losing them all as can't bear the thought of starting all over again.
Please help me, thanks in advance.

If you update your iPod manually it's already enabled for disk use. There are a number of third party utilities that you can use to retrieve music files and playlists from your iPod, this is just a selection. I use Senuti but have a look at the web pages and documentation for the others too, you'll find that they have varying degrees of functionality and some will transfer movies, videos, photos and games as well. This is just a small selection of what's available, you can also read reviews of some of them here: Wired News - Rescue Your Stranded Tunes
Senuti Mac Only
iPodRip Mac Only
PodView Mac Only
PodWorks Mac Only
iPodDisk PPC Mac Only (experimental version available for Intel Macs)
YamiPod Mac & Windows
Music Rescue Mac & Windows
iPodCopy Mac & Windows
There's also a manual method of copying songs from your iPod to a Mac or PC. The procedure is a bit involved and won't recover playlists but if you're interested it's available at this link: Two-way Street: Moving Music Off the iPod
Keep your iPod in manual mode until you have reloaded your iTunes and you are happy with your playlists etc then it will be safe to return it auto-sync.

Very Very Urgent Please help me Integration between OIM and Siebel CRM

1.The system is proprietary of nature and hence not out of the box provisioning agents exist to integrate the system.
Integration options for COPS(Customer Organisation Profiling System) ) is a proprietary CRM system holding contact, billing and other profile information as the authoritative source on customers;
I need complete solution.Please help me its very very urgent.

As mentioned in your Subject, if it is integration between OIM and Siebel CRM, we have an OOTB connector available for it. Even if your application is similar to Siebel CRM, you can refer the OOTB Siebel connector and do some reverse engineering on it to make a similar one..
Hope it helps.. otherwise .. all the best and go ahead with writing a new connector and share your exp with the other forum members.

Sharing/transferring music between computers

I am trying to transfer/share my "podcasts" folder, "purchased" folder, and a personal folder from this computer, my father's laptop, to our home computer, a desktop computer. My dad also uses iTunes on this laptop, so we each have a separate folder within iTunes for our playlists, thus my only transferring certain playlists. I followed each step precisely as shown in the article about this on the website, but it did not work, as many times as I checked to make sure I was doing everything right. When I go to the home desktop computer and check the Look for Shared Music box in the Preferences section, then click OK, nothing ever comes into the source list, where the folders from this laptop are supposed to be. Please help! The home computer is new, and the old one was not capable of having iTunes, so all I am trying to do is transfer my iTunes folders and the music contained in them from this laptop to that computer. Any suggestions? Please?!

Transferring songs between family computers

My wife and I each have an imac. I have transferred all of our cd's to my computer. Is there a simple way to copy those imported cd's to her computer as well? Can I copy my purchased songs to her imac? Will itunes import duplicates or is there a setting when importing?
Thanks for the help.
Chris

*Can I copy my purchased songs to her imac*
Yes, you can authorise up to five computers at any one time to play your purchases:

PLEASE REPLY! HELP TRANSFERING SONGS

Well, I decided that I needed to make my main libarary at another computer, so I plugged in the ipod at the new computer and went through the steps. All the songs that I had bought from iTunes appeared, but none of the songs I had uploaded from CD's. How do i get those songs on my libary without deleting them from my iPod when updating? Please Reply, it's much appreciated.
~ Rebecca.

Hi Rebecca,
If iTunes is displaying a message to you, asking if you would like to "Erase or Sync", please be sure to click on "Cancel" and not "Erase and Sync"; this will delete all of your other music off your iPod.
After you've done that, click on your iPod's name in the Source List, and under the "Summary" tab, tick the "Manually manage" option for your iPod. Click the “Apply” button in the bottom-right corner to save your changes.
Now onto the transferring.
There are a few different ways to copy your iPod's songs to your computer, but probably the most straightforward method is to download a third-party program that can copy the songs from your iPod to your computer.
I would suggest that you try YamiPod. It's free, and I've heard it recommended a lot.

Help transfering songs to new computer

I have I tunes on my old computer and want to transfer the songs using a travel drive. How do I do that? My old computer is windows 2000, no cd burner, and is not compatible with my I pod. It also has the old version of I tunes. Help please. Thanks

Choose Consolidate Library from iTunes on the old computer, copy the iTunes folder(not just iTunes Music) to the external drive or create a network between the computers, put that folder on the new computer, launch iTunes with the Shift key held down, and point it to that library.

Please help me choose between a 13 in and a 15 in MacBook Pro

Hello, everyone!
In about two weeks, I'm going to buy a new computer. I'll also be putting Final Cut Express into it to start delving a bit deeper into filmmaking. I'm a teacher but studied TV and documentary production in college and in a couple of years will be moving to my home country where people tell me things are pretty ripe for filming.
Anyway, to make a long story short, below you can see the details of the computers I have. I'm in between buying a 13-inch Intel Core i7 Dual Core 2.7 GHz MBP or the 15-in Intel Core i7 Quad-core MBP.
First of all, I have a Lumix FZ-100 digital camara which shoots 1080i AVCHD video. I see in the Final Cut Express page that it can work with HD video. I would like to know the following:
1) Will 13 inches be enough? Remember, I come from having a 20-inch iMac and a 12-inch iBook, so size could or might not matter, depends on the point of view. If I buy the 15-inch one, I would also get the high resolution screen, btw, but having said that, I saw somebody's 13-inch MBP and the screen seemed BIG to me. I actually asked them if it was the 15-inch version and when they told it was the 13-inch one, I was a bit shocked.
2) Can the 13-inch handle FCE? I say this because I know that that small computer is more powerful than the iMac I now have and WAY more powerful than the iBook. I've dabbled with the program with some video tutorials on my 2008-2009 iMac and it handles it without a problem.
3)How much of a difference is there between a 2.7 GHZ i7 Dual Core and a 2.0 GHZ i7 Quad-core really? How do these things actually work? I would ask this because I guess it would be ok if my computer ends up being a bit overpowered, but I would not be happy to feel that it is actually underpowered.
4) Because of the price, I would have to get more RAM later, so I would actually have to stick to the 4 GB that they come with for a while. But then again, I've worked on my iMac Intel Core 2 Duo with 3 GB and used Pro Tools 8 to create entire jingles for TV in Mexico without a hitch. I also tracked guitars for an album in 2007 using Pro Tools with my little iBook and there was no problem. I'm not a whiner and I know that I can work with less... but ONLY if I know that the "less" can actually handle what I ask of it.
5) A last question. Exactly how much of a difference is there in the normal resolution and high resolution models of the 15 MBP? Does it just look neater or can it actually help me with FCE?
Just as a side note, I don't care about carrying a slightly smaller laptop if I KNOW that it can handle what I ask of it (especially after seeing that 13 inches is not THAT small, compared to my 12-inch iBook lol).
Thank you to any of you that take the time to help me make up my mind. If I come up with more thoughts or doubts, I'll be bothering my thread again.
Take care,
Serge

1. A 13" screen is awfully small to do any efficient editing. The 15" gives you significantly more on-screen real estate.
2. All of the MacBook Pros can run FCE. However the graphics processor in the 13" model will limit some functionality with effects. See Tom's earlier comment.
3. Not much difference. All these cpu's are fast. There will be more overall system performance gain from the quad core at the slower speed.
4. FCE cannot use more than 4GB RAM anyway, so the 4GB that comes with every MBP is more than adequate. If you expect to use Aperture or CS5 then go for more RAM, otherwise there's not much reason to add RAM. You will be better off spending your money upgrading to the 7200rpm hard drive.
5. Everything will be smaller on the high res screen; there are just more pixels (1680x1050) on the same 15.4" screen area. (I have a 15" MBP with the standard 1440x900 screen and it is beautiful.)

Help Transfering Calls between Applications

Greetings,
We need to configure a physician hotline that allows a Call Consult Transfer to fire off at the same time the introduction prompt is being played to the caller. (The physicians we are calling do not use the desktop agent, so we can't rely on any queues) We are doing this to remove any delays in reaching a physician. The approach I have been trying is to trigger another application and transfer the call contact information so it can start calling while the first application is playing the initial greeting.
Currently I'm struggling finding any examples on how to transfer calls from one application to another. (I've seen sever methods suggested, but no one has laid out how this can be done.) Here is what I've tried so far:
1.     Accept Contact
2.     Set session variable 'MySession' to use Get Contact Info
3.     Set Session Info to 'MySession'
4.     Trigger Application in syncronous mode
5.     Script 1 plays intro prompt; Script 2 sets local session 'MySession' using Get Session of 'MySession'
6.     Script 2 initializes contact variable 'MyContact' with Set Contact Info using 'MySession'
7.     Script 2 places Call Consult Transfer with 'MyContact'
On step 6 I am receiveing a "SetContactInfoStep(HandledSessionStep): contact object, MyContact, is NULL"
I appologize for asking a question that might have been answered before, but I've been searching for over a week and haven't found anything.

I have been on these forums for about five years and I have never seen this asked before. That's good and bad. Good because you are not asking a question that gets asked and answered all the time, and bad because there's no knowledge on how this can be accomplished.
First off, you will not achieve what you are after with they way you are doing it. UCCX cannot bridge two separate Contacts together like you are thinking.
You would either need to call the customer back with the Dr on the line, or call the Dr back with the customer on the line. The initial call in either case can be thought of as a notification that a call is about to be connected with a live person on the line.
So basically, you would still call outbound to your Dr with a place call step, and you would play a message like:
"There is a call for you...blah blah blah...press 1 to accept it."
If they press 1, you would hang up on them, and then immediately perform a transfer out to them. This results in two calls, but the first call is a setup, or feeler call, which greatly increases the success of the actual transfer. And that would be calling the Dr back with a live customer.
If however, you wanted to secure the Dr on the line with a single call (place call step), and transfer to the customer, you would have to confirm a callback number with the customer first, and then hang up on them, followed by transferring the contact from the place call step to the the customer's call back number.
UCCX is powerful and flexible but one area it lacks in is call control. CVP would be better at this, as it actually has a SIP subsystem to send REINVITES and what not.
Good luck with this, and do let us know how it works out.
EDIT: Just had a thought, you could just put the caller on hold, and your hold message could have your greeting looping in it. Then while they remain on hold, you are performing your Call Consult Transfer steps in the "background."
