Podcast File Storage Options?!

Guys as far as I can tell iTunes stores the Podcasts in the Home music folder...
I'm wondering if I can have iTunes download those files to my iTunes library, that I keep on a separate partition for storage/backup needs?
I can't seem to find any option to do this anywhere.
Starting to see the benefits of my iPodderX client!!
Any help?

Could trick iTunes with a symbolic link: Greg Harms, "Setting the Downloaded Podcasts Directory Location." #1, 08:40pm Jul 9, 2005 CDT
In that same linked thread, iTunes Mike indicates that the Podcast folder is supposed to follow the location of the iTunes Music Folder. Haven't tested that myself. But I do use the symbolic link trick to share my iTunes library with my wife's account so we don't duplicate tunes and waste space.

What's the FASTEST file storage option ?

Hi all,
Im building an application in Java where indexing and storing of data is a major area of the app. It should be able to store the data as well as retrieve them rapidly as well as the files should be small in size.
Knowing Java's popularity with XML, I've chosen that as one candidate, but the problem is Im not too sure how the above 2 criteria will match with XML.
1) Is XML fast enuf considering retrieval of data ?
2) And how about the[b] storage sizes ?
Or should I scrap XML and build my own version file structure such as a B-tree ?
How difficult would that be considering limited development time ?
thanx in advance ....

Anyway to deal with this post piece by piece.
I agree with you that database infact rules out other
options when it comes to speed and storage. Im not in
anyway trying to abuse XML as a storage mechanism. If
I had the freedom to use a database, I know I wudnt
even hav posted this question, cos database wins
hands down in ease of programmin, maintain, store and
rapid response.
Okay first of all my post was not a personal attack against you. There are plenty of people who abuse or ty to abuse XML as a storage mechanism with extremely unhappy results. I want to make that point clear not just to you but to any future readers of this thread so that if they are considering such a course of action they should come back to reality.
It wud be insane to ask the client to
to install a DBMS jus to make sure the P2P app wud
run. As for the details about the solution, it is a
P2P app, but not to share content as such traditional
ones. Its supposed to help ppl arrive at better
seacrh results on a Web Search Engine.Well this was dealt with previously. In short using JDBC does NOT imply a full blown database server. It could be a standalone database like Access or you could write your own driver that accesses a proprietary file directly or you could use a plain text driver.
The point is that if you use JDBC you decouple your application from the storage. This is the important point. Because it means you can switch the storage mechanism as best fits you later without having to rewrite gobs of code.
>
As for the requiremtns, I need a storage mechanism
sm to store the rankings a user might have given
indivuidually per page or website. I need to store
them as well as access them anytime I want and share
them with the peers. Not only rankings I need to
store other deatils like the search string, the
datetime of the query etc.All the more reason to look at a database of some sort... an embedded database would be fine.
>
I will let you know more of the requiremtns as soon
on as I advance onto it. Right now Im not
concentratin on the storage part of it. ( Jus
thinking of goin ahead with XML ) and rather
implementing the P2P communication area. I was jus
doing some research on what would be the best storage
option for dealing with the app's "data". I read
on a book that B-Tress and such data structures can
actually be implemented on file storage thus giving
better performance. And also I was looking for
material ( white papers and such ) discussing the
various issues of each storage option available
currently which will stand as proof for the final
solution I am gonna take.
Okay here is the problem with all this. How do you think databases implement indexes?
Hint: while it is all in the end vednor specific the answer is some sort of tree structure.
So again back to the point if you want to write your own tree structure go right ahead... I think it's pointless but go right ahead. What you should do though is write it so that your application accesses this structure through JDBC so that later when you decide that re-inventing the wheel was not such a hot idea you can change the storage implementation without destroying your application.

Oracle White Paper- Storage Option for RAC. on Linux

hi..
This in reference with White Paper.. Stotage Option for RAC on LINUX. Author- Umadevi Byrappa.
Which states on page 10: To Use NAS for RAC database file storage select the file system storage option in OUI. or the Clustered file system storage option in DBCA.
With which i disagree. File storage option of oracle 10g RAC only shows.
1. Clustered File system.
2. ASM
3. Raw Devices.
When i try to select Cfs and select the shared directory on NFS it says. < Directory_Name> is not a clustered file system or Shared on Both <Server_1> < Server_2>. and at this point of time i m stuck.
1. I dont want to use OCFS as its not supporting NAS.
2. Selecting CFS doesnt recognise mounted shared volume as valid storage device option can only store OCRfile and CSS file.
3. So, I have to use ASM.. with zero padded files..which i dont want to because no other option. ( PART NO. B10766-02 PAGE C-6)
Also, I would like oracle to provide Back up Recovery Option or Document which tells me how could i Recover Database when i use Zero Padded Files.
What would be the best Option in the above scenario ?
I hope by applying patch or with workaround somehow it shows Filesystem ONLY.I'll be the happiest man in this Case.
Any suggestions and corrections are most welcome. I wish i m wrong.

NFS isn't a clustered file system at all - by RFC it is an exported file system with access controls
If your vendor offers an NFS solution over and beyond that - more power to them. However that isn't "NFS"..
http://www.faqs.org/rfcs/rfc3010.html
You can use NFS in a clustered server environment (to mount apps, read only data and for synchronous access to files), however it doesn't support the concurrency out of the box for RDBMS transactions - if a vendor is supporting this promise then that is for you to decide.
However i stand by my statement that NFS is a file system exported across your network and not a full clustered file system.

the Wifi storage options are interesting but it seems they only allow to read files from the device on the iPad but not transfer files to the storage device via WiFi.
I'm looking for a possibility to use the iPad for photography while traveling, without the access to a computer.
Shooting photo's in RAW format crates pretty big files that will fill up the iPad's memory pretty fast if you shoot a lot during a (let's say) month long trip.
my idea was to use load the photo's to the iPad so i could view them and sort out any bad ones. then copy them over to the storage device so i can continue using my CF cards for shooting. I have an image thank for copying the photo's directly to the HDD but it would be so sweet to be able to check them on the iPad before hand.
any suggestions?

Check out pogo plug device, it allows you to upload camera roll via wifi.

SharePoint Online - storage options (large exiting file store)

We would like to implement a SharePoint Online solution to provide remote access to shared files.
Ideally we would migrate our existing file store, but this is well over 500GB. Is SharePoint a viable solution for storing large volumes of data? I had looked into the possibility of RBS, but this is unsupported for SharePoint Online.
Any input would be greatly appreciated.

Hi sara_williams79. SharePoint Online can be used for large file stores but you should be aware of some key limitations. Each site collection in SharePoint Online can store a maximum of 100GB of data; so you would need at least 6 site collections for
your data. Maximum file size in SharePoint Online is 2GB. Any files over that size will not upload.
Document libraries in SharePoint Online can hold millions of documents but any library that holds over 5,000 items (or 20,000 in SkyDrive Pro library) will cause issues for some client tools like SkyDrive Pro sync client. Therefore do plan
for some time to check and reorganise your data to fit within the storage constraints and the SkyDrive Pro sync client (on the libraries you plan to use with it).
Further information about SharePoint Online storage boundaries is documented here:
http://office.microsoft.com/en-us/office365-sharepoint-online-enterprise-help/sharepoint-online-software-boundaries-and-limits-HA102694293.aspx
Are you planning to migrate users' home folders to SharePoint Online? SharePoint Online offers a good solution for this kind of data; each user receives 25GB of personal file storage in their SkyDrive Pro site which can be increased to a maximum 100GB.

ITunes 9 no longer supports iPod to sync playlists made with podcast files

With the last iTunes upgrade my iPod can't recognize those playlists I had previously created with podcasts files downloaded using iTunes. They just have disappeared from the list in the section Playlists of my old iPod 5G. The same occurs with a new iPod Touch 3G, thus it seems to be related with some change in my computer's software rather than the iPod.
With this last v.9 upgrade all my old podcasts had also disappeared from the section Podcasts but I eventually I could find the cause and fixed it: By default iTunes 9 is configured so that those podcasts which have been totally or partially listened are not synchronize. This can be easily modified opening the Podcasts tab in the iTunes device settings and change the options in 'Sync Podcasts'.
I'd really appreciate I could transfer again my podcast playlists to my iPod. I find rather disappointing to lose the iPod feature I've probably being used most frequently during the last 3 years. It'd thank anyone who could tell me some way to go around this constriction. Otherwise I hope this feature to be supported by iTunes in future upgrades.

I noticed that the same topic was posted in September as an iPhone issue. The discussion also centered around smart playlists. Although a few workarounds were posted, mostly involving changing the podcast genre to "Music" from "Podcast", I have not been able to sync these playlists.
I want to simply create a playlist with podcasts and sync these playlists to my ipod Touch. This is handy, if not essential, for safe enjoyment of my podcasts while driving.
Is Apple considering a fix for this ?! Or is there a workaround ?

Small office file server options

Hi all,
I'm having a nightmare getting decent answers from the web and businesses about this, so thought I'd try the forum..
Here is our situation,
We are a small business with 2 mac mini's, 2 macbook laptops and another macbook pro laptop who is remote. (the remote laptop is not a deal breaker)
We are beginning to have a nightmare with file storage, everyone is saving their own work to their own workstation and it's becoming difficult to share files etc.
Basically, our requirements for a solution are:
- Sensible file server, allowing all on-site computers to use the server as a main file storage
- Something I can back all computers up with from time machine
- Useful to restrict certain users to certain files
- Useful to have external access to files when off site and via the likes of iPad etc.
I've looked in a NAS Raid drive and the OsX Lion Server and also the Time capsule and am just so confused at what to buy.
Although the calendar sharing options etc. on the server would be useful, we can also do this via icloud. It's mainly the file access that is such a problem.
I wonder whether a time capsule would be good enough as a file server - which we then back up to the cloud to secure the data.
I really need a definitive answers here as buying a server is a significant investment.
Please help!
Thanks

Time Capsule could be enough for your small business at the moment. But don't you want to look into the future a bit as well? Time Capsule is for sale with 2 and 3TB hard disks which will be really enough right now but upgrading the disk won't be easy (or won't work at all) .
A Mac Mini Server + Thunderbold external hard disk is much more expensive but you're more secure in the future. Diskspace is easily upgraded if nessersary and you're also having the power of OSX Lion Server on your Mac Mini Server.
I want to leave it here and will be awaiting your reply. How much do you want to spend?

Please throw me a life-line: Problem with HP Recovery Manager's File backup option

Product: Pavilion g7-1070us notebook
Operating system: Window 7 64-bit
Problematic system: HP Recovery Manager (triggered by hitting F11), made by "Cyberlink"?
Error message:
The notebook crashed a few times before but I was able to restart it. Then it completely failed and simply displayed a blue-screen with blinking cursor (no error message). Hitting F8 failed to trigger the safe-mode. So I was forced to get into HP Recovery manager by F11. Before the system restore, I had to backup my personal files through the File backup option.
After scanning the computer for my slected file-types and finalizing the list of files to be backed up, it showed an error "No device is available for file backup. Make sure your removable disk is connected" while entering the third step ("Where do you want to save the backup"). This happened even though I have both blank DVD in the DVD drive and USB stick in the USB drive. And the size of the file I was trying to back up is way below 1Gb, a fraction of the storage capacity of the DVD.
I ran the Diagnostic test in BIOS and passed both the "Primary Hard Disk self test" and the Memory test.
Brief description of the issue:
I have a Pavilion g7-1070us laptop that failed to start and simply displays a blue-screen with a blinking cursor (no error message). I could NOT get into safe-mode by hitting F8, but was able to activate the “HP recovery manager” by hitting F11.
I was trying to back-up my files before triggering the system restore/Factory reset. It asked me what types of files to back-up, then scanned the computer for these files and was finalizing the files for back-up.
These first two steps went smoothly, but at the thrid step whne it asked me "Where do you want to save the backup?",
suddenly an error message showed up saying e "No device is available for file backup. Make sure your removable disckdrive is connected". But I have both a DVD sitting in the optical drive and a USB drive attached!
Can someone throw me a life-line here? If I cannot recover my files, I cannot proceed with the system restore and I am forever stuck here!! Thanks a lot!

You're very welcome.
If the hard drive and memory passed tests, then it is probably something else, but I can't say for sure.
If you can read the files using the kaspersky rescue disk then the disk is definitely fine and the recovery program is probably corrupt. If you cannot, then the disk may be wrecked.
I do not believe the recovery disks provide any opportunity for you to back up files.
Once you run the recovery disks, they wipe everything out, and rebuild the software image that came on your PC.

There is no mass storage option on my Blackberry / Using USB to export photos to computer.

I am trying to transfer photos from my Blackberry. I do not have a data plan or a micro sd card, so the usb mass storage option is (I believe) the only way for me to get my photos off my phone and onto my computer.
I plug the usb cord into my computer and phone, but my computer does not recognize the phone as a storage device, so when I click on "Removable Disk (E)" in My Computer, I get prompted to insert a disk into the drive.
I read that in order for this to work, I need to enable mass storage on my Blackberry. I go to options, device, and storage; however, there is no "Mass Storage" option even listed there. The only two options with check boxes are "Enable Compression" and "Media Card Support."
Is the mass storage option elsewhere on the Blackberry Curve? I have tried restarting my phone, computer, using different usb ports, and using different usb cords to no avail. How can I get my photos off my phone?
Solved!

Hi BerryHalps
Welcome to BlackBerry Support Community Forums
Please refer to this KB Article :
KB13564 : How to enable or disable mass storage mode on the BlackBerry smartphone
But as you told that you don't have any Media card on your phone then mass storage mode will not work .You can refer to this KB Article and transfer your Images or Photos from your BlackBerry to a Computer :

How delete podcasts files in ipad.

I am not able to delete downloaded files from podcasts

If you are used to a Windows computer and now have an iPad, you might be thinking the same thing. iOS doesn't want you to worry about files on your iPad, so everything is run through the apps themselves.
If you need a bit more control of your files, you might like FileManger Pro, it's 4.99, but it will manage them through Dropbox, iCloud, etc. Everything is now run throught the cloud usually, which means you might have to pay for Cloud Storage with a Apple device. Hence cloud storage is popular these days, and also dangerous if you know a little about hacking.
Here are your file management options through another app you download with the App Store,
Best File Management with iPad, iPhone: http://bit.ly/X2KPHb
Now if you do have a Windows, or a Mac Computer, plug it into your USB on your computer and install iTunes Software. It will lManage your files through the iTunes Software. First on iTunes go to your iPad button on the top right, then click on your Menu where it Says Apps, and manually control the Files from there.
Dropbox is a helpful for a lot of this and the File Manger Pro will integrate the file management there, so it's worth the 4.99 for that option too, it also integrates with the iCloud and other Cloud option you may have.
Here is my Blog, I hope to write more posts like this in the future.

Comparison of file storage/viewing apps

Does anyone know of a good review site that would compare all the different file storage apps out there? I googled but I couldn't find anything recent.
Alternately, if you know one that you like, let me know. I have a 1st gen ipod touch so it needs to be compatible with that. Currently I'm using Air Sharing, but I'm annoyed that instead of updating it they've made Air Sharing Pro for a separate price tag. I might upgrade (for emailing of files and better PDF support) but I'd like to scope out the other similar apps before I make a final decision.
Specific questions about any app: Does it allow emailing of files? Does it have an orientation lock option? How does it handle PDFs?
Thanks!

I agree about professional reviews-- that's why my first question was if anyone could point me to a detailed comparison article at a review site. I'd definitely give that more weight than random user opinions, but those can also be helpful in pointing out specific details.
I'm sorry that I said I was annoyed in my first post-- that was too strongly worded. I just meant that I would have liked to just do a no-brainer update but now that they're all the same price I feel like I need to compare all of them and get the best one, so I don't regret it later and end up buying more than one. My default would probably be to just stick with what I'm using and look into updating it at a later date when if I feel like it isn't working for me anymore, but since its a limited time sale I am putting a couple minutes into posts like this to find out if there's some other app I should be getting instead. I certainly don't mean any offense to you or your company-- its a great app-- but there are competitors with descriptions that are very very similar, and without testing them or reading a detailed review, I don't know if they're better or worse.

Best storage option

hello
is GPFS on AIX considered the best storage option for oracle RAC ?
thanks

1) ASM is Oracle best practice for storage of both single instance and RAC 10g Oracle databases
2) Once you use it and know it, there is no come back from ASM, is by far the best performing, easy to manage and flexible storage option.
3) Dont be afraid of raw devices + ASM, you will configure your raw devices once and then all the work you have to do is from time to time just add new disks according to your requirements, ASM + Oracle Managed Files will do all the dirty job: Extend datafiles, balance and spread IO.

Connecting to a File Storage

Hello,
We will be using the File Storage as a storage, what are the ways to connect to it from UCM (we already have the 11G instance installed and configured).
Someone mentioned that:
'This can be configured later and I believe is by default. Just make sure you do not enable the FileStore Component in UCM'
What is the proper way to point to the File Storage (without using FileStore Component), for example if we have "directoryname"/ucmdocs?
Thanks!

Hi
With File Store Provider you have the following 2 options :
1. File system based storage .
2. DB based storage .
For 1 you will need to create a partition on UCM Administration - File Store Administration where in the location of the content storage will be defined . This can be a location outside the UCM default ones or shared location on SAN , NAS etc .
DB Storage means that the contents as whole will be stored in DB and all the queries will be run for retrieving the contents on the db side when searching from UCM.
So when these configurations are completed UCM knows where to look for the contents when user is searching for .
Thanks
Srinath

Cloud Versus Local file storage

I ahve seen little specific discussion about file storage. I know there is 2GB free but I assume that if I switch from CS6 and LR4 to the CC I can continue to store everything locally?

I assume that if I switch from CS6 and LR4 to the CC I can continue to store everything locally?
Yes, no different to normal.
Cloud software works the same as Creative Suites. Software installs locally, runs locally and files are saved locally. Only the Cloud license itself is Cloud based.
Storing files in the Cloud as a Cloud member is a free optional extra.

Facing problem while using JDBC Storage option in FileStoreProvider

HI all,
We are using oracle 11.1.1.6.0 version and 11.2.0.1.0 of Oracle Database 11g Enterprise Edition.
In order to use the JDBC storage option , we are follwing the below steps:
1. On your Content Server instance, install and enable the FileStoreProvider component.
2. Configure FileStoreProvider to create a JDBC storage rule as desired.
3. Upon restart of Content Server, FileStoreProvider will create the table to store files.
4. Log into the database instance for Content Server
5. Drop the filestorage table created by FileStoreProvider (which uses Basic LOBs)
6. Recreate the filestorage table to leverage SecureFiles.
Here is a *sample*
CREATE script: CREATE TABLE filestorage ( DID number(38), DRENDITIONID VARCHAR2(30), DLASTMODIFIED TIMESTAMP(6), DFILESIZE NUMBER(38), DISDELETED VARCHAR2(1), BFILEDATA BLOB, CONSTRAINT PK_FILESTORAGE PRIMARY KEY (DID, DRENDITIONID)) LOB(BFILEDATA) STORE AS SECUREFILE TABLESPACE ;
Now when we checked in a new item in the content server, the details of the content is not getting updated in the DB.
Please provide your inputs. Do we need to do any other configuration changes?
Thanks in advance,

Could you please specify what you mean by "the details of the content is not getting updated in the DB"?
Does it mean that the checkin service fails? Or, it succeeds (you can verify from gui that both metadata and content were updated), but you cannot find updates in the database?
