Possible to combine purchased book files from desktop and laptop?

When my original Win 7 computer started having problems, I consolidated all the iTunes files (music, books, video) on that computer and stored the backup on a thumb drive per instructions on the Apple support site, with the idea of putting them on a new Win 7 computer at some point. But for right now, I'd like to consolidate the files from the old Win 7 to my laptop, as that will be my main repository of iTunes files -- books, music and video -- until I get a new Win 7 computer set up. However, I had also purchased some other books which were saved on my laptop; thus I'd like to combine the files. Before combining, I'd like to be able to transfer the new books from the laptop to my iPad (which was paired with the old Win7, which has now been deactivated). I'd like to do this without losing any of the 200+ books already on the iPad, Of course, at some point, I'd like to sync the music that was saved on the Win 7 computer to the iPad, which thus far has been used primarily for reading and playing games. This will be done once the files are safely ensconced on my laptop. Above all, I don't want to lose anything from the old desktop, from iTunes on the laptop, or from the iPad in this process. Can anyone explain to me how I might accomplish this? This process is so foreign to those of us who are well and truly accustomed to transferring and merging files in Windows and I am quite paranoid about losing any data. Thank you for any and all guidance you can offer!

Should I upgrade the iMac, convert the catalog, back it up, then install LR 3 on the laptop and move the photos and restore the catalog, or should I just back up the 1.x catalog and move everything to the laptop and convert it there?
Basically you can go either way. I would do the upgrade of the catalog on the iMac, so there will be no need to install LR1 on the laptop. You'd still need to enter the LR1 serial no. (besides the LR3 serial no.) on the laptop after installation of LR3.4 though.
Also, what's the best way to move everything to the laptop? I have an external drive that is probably big enough for all the files.
You might want to have a look at Victoria Bamptons Blog Post about the subject. Don't forget to also copy presets, plugins and possible ACR defaults to the new computer.

When importing files from desktop to laptop using home sharing, files fail to copy "An unexpected error occured (-50)"

So I'm trying to copy my library from my desktop computer to my laptop. I'm using the import feature when browsing the other library through Home Sharing. Some files wil copy, anywhere from 6-150 songs then it will fail. I have 6000 songs to copy, so I really don't want to babysit my way through this. I'm having to use my wireless network (no external drive available), but it is pretty sturdy. It hasn't been giving me any grief to stream the music, just to copy Is there any fix for this?

The following comes from the LaCie web site but is applicable to any other external drives whether home brew or commercial.
Getting error -50 when copying data in OS X.
Some drives ship out formatted FAT32 so they will be ready to use on either a Mac or a PC. If you are getting error -50 when copying to a drive formatted for PC, it is because of the following:
Certain characters that can be used in a Mac OS X filename are not allowed in MS-DOS filenames. This can prevent the file from being copied, and can occur when a filename contains non-printing ASCII characters, or any of these characters: ? / \ < > " | > *.
Either copy the data off of the drive and use Apple's Disk Utility to erase the drive in Mac OS Extended format, or change the filenames of the documents that cannot be copied.

How to sync LR files between desktop and laptop

I would like to be able to upload and edit photographs from either my desktop (nice big screen) or laptop (portable).
I was under the impression that I could do this via CC's cloud storage, but it seems that LR's catalogs are stored in a different location file structure that the CC folder (which seems to be just a dropbox clone). A google search reveals a number of strategies for syncing between two PC's but they appear to be written in the pre-CC days. Those that appear to be more current seem to focus on syncing between a PC and your iPad (LR mobile).
Is there a way to store all my photos in the cloud, and have them sync'd between two Windows computers such that LR (or Photoshop) changes made on either machine are sync'd with the other machine? I.e., I have a single, consistent working environment regardless of which computer I'm sitting at?
Thanks...

Cannot Delete CPTL file from Desktop using Vista

Hi All,
I cannot Delete CPTL file from Desktop using Vista. Explorer
crashes. It is a Captivate 2 file.
I have tried (with no luck):
- logging in as a different user and deleting the file.
- running explorer as an Administrator
- uninstalling Captivate.
Anyone got any ideas?
Cheers,
Raef

Hi Raef,
That is a strange issue. Here are a couple more ideas you
could try:
- Have you tried renaming the file (including suffix)?
- Have you rebooted?
- Do you get any error messages when trying to delete, such
as "Acess Denied"?
- Is your machine networked? Is it possible someone else has
the file open?
- Can the file be moved to another location or put in a
folder (and then deleted)?
- Have you tried using the Command Prompt / DOS mode to
delete the file?
It sounds like it could be a Vista issue so I would look at
the Microsoft Vista forums too. Sorry I do not have an exact
answer.
IHTH,
Aaron

How do I move an audiobook file from desktop to iTunes

I have just joined the local library and I am attempting to borrow my first audiobook. I have downloaded an app called BorrowBox as instructed and downloaded the audiobook which has appeared on my desktop. I was hoping to get this on to my ipod to listen on the go. The file that appeared on my desktop is - Trojan Dog 1-28 - type of file - iTunes music player (.zip) - opens with iTunes - size 280MB. I right click on file on desktop and select "open with iTunes" but no sign of audiobook in iTunes library. I have tried twice to contact help and support at Bolinda Digital who provide the BorrowBox app but received no reply and the library staff can't help. Would be grateful if anyone can help.

Hi
You should change media type from music to audiobook. You will not be able to do this with match turned on.
Options -
turn off match and make change or
delete books and rerip, changing media type before import or
delete from library and cloud, keep file, readd book and change media kind before match scans your library.

Why can't I open and retrieve my files from iPhoto and my address book after importing the files from my Power mac G5 to my new Mac Pro? I get a warning that says the new OS on my Pro doesn't open files from a Power Mac. Any idea how I can fix this?

Why can't I open and retrieve my files from iPhoto and my Address Book after importing the files from my Power Mac G5 to my new Mac Pro? I get a warning that says the new OS on my Pro doesn't open files from a Power Mac. Any idea how I can fix this?

For your addressbook, export the files to vCard on the PowerMac, then bring them over to your Mac Pro. For your iPhoto, copy the Users -> yourname -> Pictures folder to your Desktop on the Mac Pro, and open iPhoto on the Mac Pro holding the command and option keys. Select the library file from that Pictures folder and open it. It should import all the pictures into iPhoto as part of the rebuild process.

Is it possible to move a book project from one LR5 catalog to another?

I have spent days laying out a book on my laptop with low resolution jpegs in a temporary project catalog. I wanted to export the book project in a project catalog and import it into my main catalog on my desktop to swap out the small jpegs with full sized images and then order the book.
However I have been stuck because apparently LR 5 does not export the book project with the catalog. I was surprised after importing the project catalog into my main catalog on my desktop because the book project was not there, only the selection of images in a new default book layout. When I open the temporary project catalog exported from my laptop, only the images were in the book, but all formatting and text pages are missing... it was essentially a default book layout. It seems the book project does not export, even when right clicking on the book project and selecting "Export this Collection as a Catalog".
I know I can import the high res files to my laptop and complete the order, but I want the archive of the book project in my main catalog, as I will want to use it in the future, both for digital PDFs and physical book orders.
Or am I missing something entirely? If anyone has any advice, I would love it.
I am using Lightroom 5.3 on a mac running OS 10.8.5 (both desktop and laptop)
Thanks,
Sol

John,
OK, I re-exported the book project as a catalog and opened the exported catalog on my laptop to check it before transferring to my desktop. After double clicking on the book project, it loaded properly. What I did not know before is that you have to double click on the book project icon after importing to load it. I was only selecting the book project in the collections panel.
Now I just need to reimport into my master catalog on my desktop… but it should work.
I have not started using smart previews, because I just upgraded to LR5 and have been busy consolidating my many separate catalogs into one master catalog and struggling with the metadata mismatches. Once that is all cleared up, I will start working with smart previews.
Thank you,

Cannot delete .band files from desktop

I was working on a file in GarageBand, I saved the .band file on my desktop, but after I quit GarageBand without saving the work, the .band file went a little weird. I tried dragging it to the trash and cmd-delete it but the message came up saying "The item “Recording Final.band” can’t be moved to the Trash because it can’t be deleted." Later I launched GarageBand again, and when I tried to drag the weird .band file from desktop to the GarageBand icon on my dock, the dock appears to crash, my wallpaper went gray for a second and then the dock came back up. Also when I select the file and hit space bar to do a quick look it shows up saying No Items Selected. I like to keep my desktop tidy don't want these files here blocking the way. Anyone knows the solution to the problem?

The first thing I'd do is just restart your system. You might find the file has disappeared. If not, try deleting it again. If you get the same error msg, do as follows.
Enable 'show path bar' in Finder > View. Highlight the problem file and make a note of the path.
Open Terminal and use the
rm <path to file>
command to remove it (remove the angled brackets). If you want to be on the safe side, use the command
cd <parent directory of file>
to move into the correct folder first.
Example
Suppose the path is:
Lion > Music > Garageband > problemfile.band
In Terminal, you'd type
cd ~/Music/Garageband
Then type
ls -l
Assuming you see 'problemfile.band' in the list, type
rm problemfile.band
If you get an error, try
sudo rm problemfile.band
and enter your admin password (which will be invisible when you type it).
If you still get an error msg, post back here, stating the error msg.

Cannot delete files from desktop

I run the latest version of Lion OS, on a MacBook Pro. All software is maintained and updated. I have a couple of files on my desktop, which cannot be deleted. They are BACK-UP files from Keynote and PowerPoint. The files cannot be moved (physically on the desktop, they stay put), and TRASH is not accepting them;
The item “Backup of Wholesale Sales Meeting Sea Island-powerpoint.key~1” can’t be moved to the Trash because it can’t be deleted.
Any idea on how to delete them permanently?
Thanks

Hello Denis Post1
You could remove it with the Terminal (Applications > Utilities).
Enter the following command (copy & paste) followed by your password, you will not see nothing, while entering it and then <enter>
sudo rm ~/Desktop/*
for the files you confirm with a simple "y" they will be deleted. If you want to keep some other files type "n"
hope this helps

Is it possible to pickup a specific file from a folder?

Hi
I am wondering whether it is possible to pick a specific file from a folder. I have a shape where I have got a filename and I need to look for it in a folder.
Is that possible?
And how can I achieve this? The next step is to pick the file up and transfer it to another location. So basically in pseudo code I need to ask my defined folder with a filename as parameter. Get the file and move it to another folder.
Suggestions are most appreciated. Thanks

Assuming you are using orchestration, you could
create an assembly, install it in the GAC, add a reference to it in your BTS
project, and call it from an Expression shape to resolve the receive
location. You would only really need one static method in a class. Be sure
to add a reference to Microsoft.BizTalk.ExplorerOM.dll.
Example:
using Microsoft.BizTalk.ExplorerOM;
namespace Phil
public class OrchestrationHelpers
public static string ResolveReceiveLocationName(string
inboundTransportLocation, string receivePortName)
BtsCatalogExplorer bts = new BtsCatalogExplorer();
bts.ConnectionString =
"SERVER=localhost;DATABASE=BizTalkMgmtDb;Trusted_Connection=True;Network
Library=DBMSSOCN;"
foreach (ReceiveLocation location in
bts.ReceivePorts[receivePortName].ReceiveLocations)
if (location.Address == inboundTransportLocation) return location.Name;
return null;
In your Expression shape within your orchestration, assuming a message
called "MyMessage" and a string variable "receiveLocationName":
receiveLocationName =
Phil.OrchestrationHelpers.ResolveReceiveLocationName(MyMessage(BTS.InboundTransportLocation),
MyMessage(BTS.ReceivePortName));

TS1362 I purchased an album from itunes and a song in the middle of the album did not download completely. So, the song obviously cannot be transferred to my ipod because the file cannot be converted. What can i do?

I purchased an album from itunes, and a song in the middle did not download completely. All the others did. So, I obviously could not transfer that song to my ipod because the file could not be converted. What can I do?

If your country's iTunes Store allows you to redownload purchased tracks, I'd delete your current copy of the track and try redownloading a fresh one. See the following document for instructions:
Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store
Otherwise, I'd report the problem to the iTunes Store.
Log in to the Store. Click on "Account" in your Quick Links. When you're in your Account information screen, go down to Purchase History and click "See all".
Find the item that is not playing properly. If you can't see "Report a Problem" next to the item, click the "Report a problem" button. Now click the "Report a Problem" link next to the item.
