Pre-buying question: Fast scrolling a HUGE library

My intention for Apple TV is actually for music library looking ups - I have got a 100K songs ( yes, about 800GB )HUGE library, I think the TV screen provides much bigger browsing interface comparing to other wireless sharing server ( I'm currently a Roku M1000 user so you know everytime to find an artist is a torture... ), however I don't know if the ATV remote provides the fast scrolling between first character, it will be great to have that function which is offered on latest IPODs. I take a look at the atv remote and found out it is up/down scrolling instead of the wheel design, so guess if there is no first character scrolling then switching from A to Z will become impossible mission!
Please can any pro here help, thanks!

Sorry no fast scrolling in this version.
I don't have the library that you do, I have roughly the same usage of disc space but most is taken by movies, I only have around 10,000 tunes. I can however confirm that whilst the size of my library doesn't actually cause any issues, navigating the artist list is a bit tedious.
Unfortunately if you set up smart playlists for alphabetical groupings the list is displayed as song titles and not artists and so doesn't help.
For your information my artist count is 1401 and it takes the tv 13 seconds to scroll from first to last.

  • Adobe Reader crashes when fast scrolling and using IAccessible interface

    Acrobat Reader 8, 9 crashes on Vista, XP, 2003 server by following steps:
    1. Open two huge documents (>1000 pages).
    2. Get IAccessible object by AccessibleObjectFromWindow function from external application.
    3. Fast scroll in one document and quickly click on second doc's vertical slider bar several times.
    Here I get APPCRASH ("Acrobat Reader has stopped working").
    If external program doesn't get IAccessible, Acrobat Reader works normally.
    If I close external program after getting IAccessible Acrobat crashes after scrolling too.
    Reading mode option is set to "Read the currently visible pages only" in "Accessibility Reader Options".
    any ideas?

    Known bug. Use the Advanced Search instead.

    I hope someone get the answer! In the Apple shop they say, may be by the next Udate it will be pepared?

    That is priceless!!!  Thanks!  I sure needed a good laugh after spending/wasting hours & days trying to either get my c6280 to give up on its Ink System Failure fixation, or find a decent replacement.  Unfortunately I need the Smart Web Printing feature that I guess only HP has, or I'd try a different brand. And now even HP has very few models with that available.
     My error msg is a little different from those previously stated, but close:  0xc18a0201.  Even tho there were frustrations with my c6280, I did like several of its unique features which are hard to find now under $100.  I hate how HP (& I suppose other brands also) are CONSTANTLY changing models & then of course ink cartridges.
    Oh heavens, I've had the c6280 a whopping 2 1/2 years!   I'm sure they want us poor slobs to have to buy a new one every year & a day!  To say nothing of the exorbitant prices for ink.  And now if this one is really dead in the water, I have SIX unused #02 ink cartridges which I cannot return---I got them in a combo pack, & for some reason have wound up with THREE lite pink & THREE lite blue cartridges, while having to buy extras of the other colors, that ran out before the others!!!   Yeah, & what's with that not being able to print in BLACK if a color runs out????
    Anyway I really loved your essay!   It's a classic!  And says it all!  I hate that we have to be 'slaves' to the electronic 'wonders'!!!

  • Huge Library folder?

    I am running 10.4.7 on a 15" MBP with a 100GB 7200 RPM drive. Today I noticed my drive was down to 16GB free and I did not think I had used that much. I started going through folders to find the hogs and I discoverd my Library folder was 24GB. Is this normal? Cn I reduce it? Almot all for the files are in apple update folders. Can these be cleaned?
    15" MBP, 17 iMac, iBook 14, PM7600 G3266, IIvx   Mac OS X (10.4.7)  

    I am a first time Mac user and I just bough my Macbook 2 weeks ago....I was checking my system information today and I was surprised by the fact I am using already 31.64GB of my 74.21Gb available, so like other users I went to check my folders to see what was taking so much space and I also found a huge library folder.
    When I click on "Machintosh HD" on my desktop it opens on folder and I have a "library" folder there with 9.3 GB inside it has many many folders that looks like system stuff. So inside "System" folder I have only another "library" folder that has 1.85 GB.
    I checked caches folders on both library and they have pretty much nothing on there...so it's not responsible for how big this folder are.
    My question is: Is it normal to have such a big library folder? it's taking more space than anything else...I don't think it's normally to have almost half of my hard drive taken in 2 weeks of use, so I was wondering if I maybe duplicated this folders or messed up somehow.
    What can I do?
    I appreciate all the help I can get...as I said Im a new Mac user and still figuring out how to work on it...kinda lost here
    Thanks!!!

  • ITunes match question (manual sync and iTunes library)

    Hi all
    Just noticed that iTunes match is now avaliable in Denmark, and therefore I have a few questions that I can't seem to find answers for elsewhere.
    My situation is that I have all my music on a NAS (and on at USB backup drive). Some of the music is in 128 AAC and is 320 mp3.
    On my macbook pro I have all of my music converted til 128 AAC so I can fit all of my music on my iPhone (10000 songs). All my music on my iPhone is manage manually through iTunes. I normally 1) add it to itunes, 2) transfer it to iphone and 3) remove the music again from my iTunes library. I mostly just have an empty iTunes library (since i play music from my iPhone and my Sonos system) and just use iTunes for ripping CDs and editing of tags.
    Since my iPhone is running out of space, I thought it would be a good idea to have some of my music i iCloud (iTunes match). From what I've read it is not possible to have both music transfered manually from iTunes to my iPhone and at the same time accessing music from Itunes match? What I really would like is to have 20 GB on my iPhone with the rest avaliable through iTunes match (20 GB) for when I need it. Is this possible?
    My second and most important question is about the itunes library. What happens if I connect to iTunes macth and afterwards remove all my music from my itunes library? As I just explained I prefer my itunes library to be empty unless i want to transfer music to my iPhone.
    Hope you can help me with some answers?
    Thánk You.

    That info has not been released yet but to venture a guess, I doubt any extraneous info such as comments will be used.
    Also, iTunes Match will not use your tags to identify songs. Some algorithm will analyze the audio file to match.

  • I have three questions about managing my music library

    Hello,
    I have three questions about managing my music library, I hope you can help me with them:
    1) Is there a limit of how many entries, songs, albums, art work, can iTunes handle? I have a hunch iTunes is like a database program and am curious about its capacity. I have two 2-TB drives and am wondering what is going to happen when I fill these two drives up. Other than disk space, what are iTunes limitations?
    2) Talking about these two drives. How can I use both as a source for my iTunes library. Can I have two folders selected as the source of my library? I am not sure if I have enough disk space to hold all my music, but I do also have a 1TB almost empty drive is need be.
    3) OK now comes te real question. I am sure that I have duplicates in my library and I sure would love to clean my library up.Possiby if I do get to clean it up, I can save some disk space and that is always a good thing. Any good techniques, software, techniques to follow while ripping music to help keep my library organized. Please be as detailed as you can.
    Thanks and I can't wait to hear from you.

    As far as I know you're going to run out of disc space before you hit any limits. Each object in iTunes has a 64-bit key to access it. That said as your library grows it will get less responsive as bigger indexes take exponentially longer to process.
    2) Talking about these two drives. How can I use both as a source for my iTunes library. Can I have two folders selected as the source of my library? I am not sure if I have enough disk space to hold all my music, but I do also have a 1TB almost empty drive is need be.
    iTunes wants to manage everything inside one big folder. Some idiosyncrasies with the way it manages things if you have to move to a new drive means it is best if you can stick to that plan. If your library grows larger then you'll have to take manual control of where some or all of your content is stored. I use a variation of a script called ConsolidateByMoving which you could adapt for your needs.

    When it comes to deduping I've written another script for that called DeDuper, see this thread for background.

  • As I scroll down in library images disappear

    Really wierd. Scrolling down in library or Past !2 months folder I reach a point where the images briefly appear, then disappear. Reducing the image size to minimum, I see the most recent of 250 or so photos, but the rest are just squares and rectangles of previously-edited images. Any ideas anybody?
    Never had a problem before.

    Bob,
    Welcome to the Apple Discussions.
    Have you ever used the Finder to make changes inside the iPhoto Library Folder? This breaks the links between the database and your files.
    If you have not, then try rebuilding your database. Hold Option and Command while you launch iPhoto. Choose the first 3 options in the dialog, then click Rebuild. Read this Apple article for more information: http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=107947

  • How can I rid my iPhone of a  huge library of photos which cannot be erased? they are listed under PhotoLibrary.

    How can I rid my iPhone of a  huge library of photos which cannot be erased? they are listed under PhotoLibrary.

    If you turned on Photo Stream and don't want these pictures on your phone, just turn it off.  As mention by wjosten, if you want to remove photos from Photo Library, or any of the albums under Photo Library, you have to deselect them on the Photos tab of your sync settings and sync your phone to remove them.  Also, although the photos int Photo Library may appear to be duplicates of the photos in the albums, they aren't.  The actual photos are all in Photo Library; the albums only contain links to the photos.  Finally, you can only delete albums created on your phone, not ones synced from your computer.  And they can only be deleted after they are empty.

    Please, make update disabling very fast scrolling acceleration in Mountain Lion.
    Scrolling sould works like in Lion!!!

    The speed of scrolling through long lists depends on how quickly you move your finger or thumb around the click wheel.
    That's it.

  • Pre-Sales Questions: RV220W & SRP 547W

    Hi,
    Couple of pre-sales questions if you don't mind:
    1. Does the RV220W Wireless-N Network Security Firewall allow RADIUS authentication of wireless clients on the WLAN?
    2.  Does the Cisco SRP 547W Wireless Router allow wireless clients to tunnel into the WLAN using VPN?
    Thanks very much.

    Yes it supports all the functionality. For more detail you can see the below link

  • Pre-sales Questions

    What is the best way to contact Apple and get answers to pre-sale questions? Sometimes these forums work well, other times there is no response. When there is a response, is there a way one can determine it the responder is a representative from Apple?
    Is there an 800 number that one can call for pre-sales questions? Unfortunately the closest AppleStore is 60 miles from my home.

    Hi jbmth,
    Responses you get here are from other users that volunteer to share their Apple knowledge.
    The quality is probably the best possible, since every time something goes wrong in one's advice, someone else would quickly jump in and offer corrections/additions.
    Determine representatives from Apple:
    They have a white apple in front of their names. You won't see an answer from an Apple employee more than once or twice a year here really.
    This is most a user-to-user forum.
    What kind of info do you need?
    Generally speaking, speculation about new products is quite very unwelcome by Apple standards.
    Here in the Discussions, it is simply forbidden by the Terms of Use.
    I hope this helps.
