Printable iTunes & still confused about cd artwork

Hiya,
Is there a way to have iTunes print out all of the info for the cds I have in it? Mainly artist and album title. It'd save filing them into something like Excel for my records.
Also, I'm still confused about the artwork iTunes plugs in for my cds. Either it doesn't have the artwork or its wrong. I know I can delete it, but replacing it is what I can't figure out. I was told to drag and drop it into the artwork viewer, but drag and drop it from where? The iTunes music store? My own file (which I tried and it doesn't work)? I tried opening two windows of iTunes to try the drag/drop, but that doesn't work either.
One last thing, I don't like the new back-up feature of burning cds of my catalog, instead I copy the entire thing onto an external hard drive. Is there an easier way to do this? I know I have to save all of the iTunes info so that my playlists still show up, but when all I mainly need to do is save any new music & playlists I find it takes so long because I have to end up re-saving everything (and at over 11k songs, that takes a while). Any suggestions to help speed up the process?
Always grateful,
Tony Adams

The iTunes method isn't obsolete for everybody, but it's something you don't need to worry about unless you were already using it or you want to exchange data belonging to apps that do not (yet) support iCloud.

What is DHCP? I'm still confused about setting up Airport Extreme

I still unfortunately an confused by this:
No problem. I certainly understand. Again the key is only the device directly connected to the modem should be configured to provide the PPPoE credentials ... and (again) if the G5 was configured to do so, it would now have to be the AEBSn. In turn, the G5 would need to be reconfigured for "Using DHCP."
I don't know how to reconfigure my G5 and I'm afraid to do so. And, I don't know what DHCP is?
What you were saying is that I have to configure my Airport Extreme to the same settings that are now on this G5 and change the G5 settings to DHCP.
Sorry to be a bother. I just returned from a long trip and am getting ready to install the Airport Extreme. Would the software we simple enough for me to understand and just follow the instructions that Apple supplies?

Older DSL modem require that the device connected to them supply the PPPoE sign-on information. However, I've seen DSL modems that can store and supply PPPoE sign-on information so that the device connected to them doesn't need to.

Like you just stated: "Using DHCP".
I don't know what DHCP is?
DHCP is "Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol". It's intended to provide an Internet client with all the information (IP address, etc.) that it needs.

Yes.
Your post strikes me as a reply to another message that's not in this thread. If you intended to continue another discussion, you should have done a "reply" to a message in that discussion.

A helpful forum but im still confused about x3100 graphics and leopard

am i and maybe a few the exception? i find iTunes ( visulaizer - stops / jerky and then plays ) & Photobooth ( video backgrounds - choppy video / slow ) to run poorly even with 4 gb Ram on a new SR-MB. But i dont see many other complaints by other owners. Been told by helpful members wait until Leopard software update for new drivers for the graphic card GMA X3100. So is there / was there a real issue with the x3100 and the new Macbooks or is it that mine just might not work right? Are thes ereal "bugs"?
2.2 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo Macbook 4GB 667 MHZ, Os X - 10.5.1, GMA X3100

Welcome
I went into MSI Socket A Archives for CPU Support, and think I found right MB. Supports 1 and 1.1 Duron and 100FSB Tbirds 1.1 and 1.2 - bios version W6330VMS.340. (Wanted to post you a link but wouldn't work.) You might wish to double check my efforts.
If your 300 has around 185 watts combined on +3 and +5, you may be in luck. If you need to upgrade PSU, get at least 200 or 220 combined.
Good luck!

Still confused about what's a "blank" tape...

Hiya,
Please can someone point me at, because I haven't managed to find, an explanation of what OSB regards as a "blank" tape, and how this fits with labelling them?
If I pre-label and pre-assign a media family to a new tape using obtar, does this make OSB prefer it to a truly blank tape? Or does it only prevent it from being used if the media family doesn't match?
I ask because I pre-labelled one of the several tapes in our silo with the media family for the backup I was about to run, and ran the backup, expecting it to use that tape. I was a little perturbed to find that it had used a different tape, blatting all over what was on there previously.
Is this expected behaviour? I'd prefer to be able to control it better than this, as we are quite likely to have other tapes in the silo, some of which have useful data on them but are not OSB tapes. I don't like the idea of it randomly picking one and writing over it...
How can I tell OSB to only use the tapes I've explicitly told it it can? I imagined that was what labelling was all about, but it appears not.
Can anyone advise?
Thanks,
David

actually it doesn't:

The 64-bit architectures PPC64, s390x, sparc64 and AMD64 must place 64-bit libraries in /lib64, and 32-bit (or 31-bit on s390) libraries in /lib.
sure, arch isn't intended to be a multilib system, but there _are_ two directories lib and lib64, and both are created (and needed) by core (i don't know if extra too) and used by community packages.
so why not go the more transparent and simple way?

Confused about extending the Sprite class

Howdy --
I'm learning object oriented programming with ActionScript and am confused about the Sprite class and OO in general.
My understanding is that the Sprite class allows you to group a set of objects together so that you can manipulate all of the objects simultaneously.
I've been exploring the Open Flash Chart code and notice that the main class extends the Sprite class:
public class Base extends Sprite {
What does this enable you to do?
Also, on a related note, how do I draw, say, a line once I've extended it?
Without extending Sprite I could write:
var graphContainer:Sprite = new Sprite();
var newLine:Graphics = graphContainer.graphics;
And it would work fine. Once I extend the Sprite class, I'm lost. How do I modify that code so that it still draws a line? I tried:
var newLine:Graphics = this.graphics;
My understanding is that since I'm extending the Sprite class, I should still be able to call its graphics method (or property? I have no idea). But, it yells at me, saying "1046: Type was not found or was not a compile-time constant: Graphics.

Thanks -- that helped get rid of the error, I really appreciate it.
Alas, I am still confused about the extended Sprite class.
Here's my code so far. I want to draw an x-axis:
package charts {
    import flash.display.Sprite;
    import flash.display.Graphics;
    public class Chart extends Sprite {
        // Attributes
        public var chartName:String;
        // Constructor
        public function Chart(width:Number, height:Number) {
            this.width = width;
            this.height = height;
        // Methods
        public function render() {
            drawAxis();
        public function drawAxis() {
            var newLine:Graphics = this.graphics;
            newLine.lineStyle(1, 0x000000);
            newLine.moveTo(0, 100);
            newLine.lineTo(100, 100);
I instantiate Chart by saying var myChart:Chart = new Chart(); then I say myChart.render(); hoping that it will draw the axis, but nothing happens.
I know I need the addChild method somewhere in here but I can't figure out where or what the parameter is, which goes back to my confusion regarding the extended Sprite class.
I'll get this eventually =)

I am confused about something. How do I read a book on my MacBook Pro? I can't find the iBook app anywhere, which is what I use on my iPad. The book I want to read is in my iTunes but I can't click on it. My iBook library does not show up in iTunes.

I am confused about something. How do I read a book on my MacBook Pro? I can't find the iBook app anywhere, which is what I use on my iPad. The book I want to read is in my iTunes but I can't click on it. Some of my iBooks show up in my iTunes but they are "grayed" out. The only books that respond in iTunes are audiobooks and that's not what I'm looking for. Is this a stupid question?

Nevermind - I answered my own question, which is I CAN"T READ ANY BOOKS I purchased in iBooks on my MacBook Pro. If I want to read on my mac I have to use Kindle or Nook. Which means any book I've already purchased through iBooks has to be read on my iPad. Kind of a drag because there are times when it's more convenient for me to read while I'm sitting with my Mac.

A few years ago I bought music from Itunes. Recently I deactivated all computers in order to add a new computer. Most of the music I purchased came through, but I am still missing about 30% of it. How can I download all the music I have purchased from

Might have luck with that here > Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store
Previous purchases may be unavailable if they have been refunded or are no longer on the iTunes Store.
Make sure and use the same Apple ID that was used for the original purchases.

I am so confused about iCloud. My husband says he never set it up but all is information is on both his iPad and iPhone. How can that be and do I have to have iTunes Match?

I am so confused about iCloud. My husband says he never set it up but all is information is on both his iPad and iPhone. How can that be and do I have to have iTunes Match?

"All his information" may or may not include things customarily stored in iCloud. Perhaps all the information is on both devices because they were both recently synced using the same iTunes sync.
Do you have to have iTunes Match? No. Many folks do not have iTunes Match. The music purchased from iTunes is always available to the purchaser. Other music is stored in iTunes on the person's computer.

I'm confused about 'downloading' options via iTunes

When updating via iTunes, you get two options: (1) Download & Install NOW or (2) Download only [to install later]. I chose the 2nd option, as I wasn't quite ready to update my iPod touch to iOS 5. The download went surprisingly quick... took only 5 minutes. I thought it was strange, considering that people were Tweeting left and right that it was going to take 5-7 hours for their downloads to complete. When I finally went to update my iPod several hours later, instead of the update being there and ready to install... iTunes connected to the Apple Servers and started downloading the entire iOS 5 from the BEGINNING! Now, I'm also getting the estimated 7 hours to complete mantra. What gives? What the h*** is the purpose of giving me an option to download and install at a later time, if that's now what actually takes place? What am I confused about? Can anyone provide some insight? I'm highly upset right now.

"I just upgraded a song but i checked back a few hours later to see that the song i just upgraded was available for an upgrade that i already purchased.
What sense does that make? "
Er, none at all actually.
Wanna re-post the question?

Itunes will not forget old artwork

About 2 years ago I manually added artwork for all of my tracks. If I could not find artwork I added a uniform 'blank record' picture to take the place of the musical note which itunes placed in the absence of artwork.
Now I have come to update these old pieces of artwork - but itunes will not let them go...
I have tried deleting the old artwork, and adding in the new artwork. Itunes instantly displays the OLD artwork as soon as I drag the new artwork in, even though I have just deleted the old artwork right before..
I have tried every possible combination of removing / adding, then adding in an intermediary step of changing album or artist title to try and get itunes to 'lose' the link to the old artwork which it is obviously still holding on to, but nothing works. I just cannot get itunes to forget the old artwork!
Another weird thing - in the drag and drop panel in the bottom left, the new artwork will be displayed just as I have dragged in, but the OLD artwork is displayed in the cover flow or grid views, and on my ipod.
Are there any suggestions for ridding my library of these old pieces of artwork?

Thanks for the suggestions - I'm going to try deleting the artwork folder tonight to see what success that brings. Would I delete the entire artwork folder or just the cache folder from inside that?
All of the tracks did have full tags, although the vast majority of them are single, stand alone tracks, not part of albums. I have a feeling that permissions could be an issue, as I have been having trouble with itunes organizing my files / folders in the finder as well. If I change the album name on one of these tracks for example, itunes will create the new album name within the artist folder, but will not move the file into this new folder as I imagine should be the case. It seems as if itunes cannot really get to these files for whatever reason...
I did find some sort of solution late last night. I remove the offending track from my library, selecting 'keep files'. Then select add to library and bring it straight back in. I can then alter the artwork with the changes taking place properly. Although, I did test the other issue by changing the artist / album name on one of these re-added tracks but itunes can still not seem to move them around within the itunes music folder to file them correctly. This isnt a big deal in itself but I wonder if it points to a larger problem?

A little Confused About Apps...

Hi Everyone,
I've been looking at the iPod Touch and it seems like the best-designed player on the market. I'm a journalist and I want to use the Touch to play my interviews, which are voice recordings in WMA format (converted to MP3).
OK, I'd love to do some basic things, and I'm confused about what the June update will offer.
Please tell me if the June apps will allow these capabilities:
1. Play voice recordings with the speaker instead of headphones
2. Allow me to create a folder on the home page to go directly to my voice recordings
3. Drag-and-drop files in Windows explorer directly into a folder on the home page
Yes, I know, I'm trying to use the Touch for an unusual thing, but I think there are a lot of other journalists and bloggers out there who would also use the Touch if it could provide these capabilities!
I'm not interested in fancy games for the Touch. I'm much more interested in expanding basic capabilities.
If I know the Touch will be able to do these things, I'd buy one today!
Thanks,
Matt

neuroanatomist,
Thanks for the response. This is all very interesting...
I understand it's not a real speaker, but I have heard some demos where it was used to play rudimentary sounds. That's why I wonder if it would be good enough for simple voice playback.
I know some people like this, but I don't like is having to always drill down several "layers" to get to my actual recordings. Instead of having to do Music > Album > Playlist, I'd really like to just have folders on the home page. To my mind, this does not sound like a difficult thing to be able to do, though maybe I'm missing something here.
On the drag-and-drop thing: of course, I understand Apple's need to force us to use iTunes. I like iTunes, and use it for music all the time, even though I don't have an iPod at the moment. But it just seems to me that Apple would not suffer if you could drag and drop your valid music files (or voice recordings) directly into folders on the iPod. You'd still have to own legal music files, bought from iTunes.
Anyway, if these hurdles could be overcome, I'd buy an iPod Touch today. At the moment, it's a tough choice. Several other players do some of the things I am asking for, though none of them has the elegance of the iPod.
I just wish Apple would put their elegance together with the capabilities of other players.

Is it possible to keep all iTunes media on an external hard drive and not on my Mac Book and have ITunes still function?

Let me begin by saying I'm new to the Mac world as well as to the realm of online forums so I apologize if this is a question that was already asked and/or if it is a very noobish question...
But anyway, I just recently got the new Macbook Pro 15" with RD and I am curious if I can keep all of my Itunes media on an external hard drive without keeping any of it on the Macbook itself and have Itunes still function (when the HD is connected of course). I am trying to keep the computer memory clutter free and not fill it up with music and stuff so I want to keep all of my media on a 1T Buffalo external hard drive so the computer stays like brand new for a long time..Right now I have about 5G worth of music on my hard drive and I thought it was only on the hard drive and I just recently found out that it is also within the music folder on the computer itself. Any thoughts? Sorry if it is an odd question, I can try to rephrase the question if need be. Any tips or advice is greatly appreciated, Thanks!

Quick answer if you use iTunes' default preferences settings: Copy the entire iTunes folder (and in doing so all its subfolders and files) intact to the other drive. Open iTunes and immediately hold down the Option (alt) key (shift on Windows), then guide it to the iTunes Library.itl file in the moved iTunes folder.
If you put the copied iTunes folder in the default location of Macintosh HD > Users > *User Name* > Music then you don't even need to start with the option key held down, iTunes will automatically look for it there. (Make sure there isn't anything already in the iTunes folder there that you want to keep since you will be replacing it with the one you are moving.)
Longer answers if for any reason you do not think all library files are inside your iTunes folder (changed preferences settings at some point):
iTunes: How to move [or copy] your music [library] to a new computer [or another drive] - http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4527 - a somewhat bewildering and not always easily understandable set of options.
For the record there's this reference for iTunes 11 but it really doesn't strike me as having the specifics you need. iTunes 11 for Mac: Move your library to another computer - http://support.apple.com/kb/PH12168
2011 ilounge article: Transferring your iTunes library - http://www.ilounge.com/index.php/articles/comments/moving-your-itunes-library-to -a-new-hard-drive/ - An article with good background information (similar to the links above), particularly if you are not sure your media files are all grouped for quick answer above. Unfortunately under the single term "transferring library" it describes two very different moves; relocating just your media (not really transferring your library and not recommended unless you really need this configuration), and relocating media+database (really your whole "library"). Make sure you understand the difference before electing to move only media.

My ipad 4 got in black screen, Itunes still recognize but throw me an error 4005 when i want to restore.

my ipad 4 don´t turn on, I'm very stressed.
Yesterday i took a photo and when I wanted to see it my ipad is restarted. took too long to turn on and turn off once was.
I've tried many ways to change the lightning cable, pc change, restoring the apple mobile device usb, but itunes still throwing me the error 4005.
I have proven with other software like redsnow but mark me the error as it does not support ios 7.1.2.
when i connect the ipad in Itunes, it says me that my idevice is in recovery mode.
when this happened it was the battery to 100 percent

Try this - Reset the iPad by holding down on the Sleep and Home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider - let go of the buttons. (This is equivalent to rebooting your computer.) No data/files will be erased. http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1430

I tried to follow the steps in recovery mode but itunes still can't detect it

i tried to follow the steps in recovery mode but itunes still can't detect it.
Ok ok. It did work the first time, however the phone got disconnected so then the phone turned itself on again.
I tried to repeat the same steps again but it did not show the itunes logo. It just turned on and went to the lock screen.
I did this for about 4-5 times. Each trial ending up with the same result.
So what i did, once the phone was connected to itunes i clicked the update button and waited for HOURS to finish the update.
It did restart and did whole other things. But it stopped and a black screen appeared with a text saying Iphone is disabled. Connect to iTunes.
Any suggestions on what to do next? I'm seriously feeling so frustrated right now.
So in case you didn't get it my phone was disabled after entering the wrong password too many times. Tried fixing it but it seemed to get worse.
Really desperate here.
