Problem using iTuneson macbook... Help me out...

Guyz!!!
I'm new to Mac.
I've a (infat many)problem using iTunes ... or rather i dunno using it.
1) I've copied my music folders into a location on the harddisk of my mac.
that has copied fine, however when i double click them... they are just playing using iTunes which inturn adding this song to the library, where i suspect it is making another copy in the "itunes music" folder.
i want to get rid of this...
thr is noway that we can avoid this... do we HAVE to copy the songs in the "itunes music" folder???
similarly... even if i play a song from ny USB drive which i connect to my macbook,,, it is copying the trac into library... i dont want that to happen...suggest me something... this itunes is eating my harddisk.
2) i'm using an application "Senuti" to pull the songs off my ipod to my macbook. It worked fine for 2-3 albums... but then it's acting strange... it's not copying the songs to the location i refered... it is just copying the songs into the itunes music folder. it really is annoying.
I just want the songs albumwise in the harddisk as well as in the itunes library... is dat possible at all? if it is.. how?? if it is not..then what is the solution for my problem.
3) i've copied some movies onto the hard disk. and i want them to appear in the list while using "Front row"... how do i get them in the list?? do i have to import them into iTunes??? where in iTunes will again copy the movies into the itunes music folder and eats up all the space what i have...uffff....
Just help me guyz please...

*First, there's an itunes forum.*
first, i did post there.
*Second, go through the preferences. You set stuff like whether music copies in preferences.*
it'd be helpful if u let me know the preferences settings.
*Third, a problem with Senuti, which is a pretty cool app, is something you should check into with them.*
I did not find ny exclusive forums for that, n wondering if i get ny solution here n posted.
*Fourth, your movies should appear in iTunes. Try dropping them on the itunes icon.*
thnx for that... ill try this... but would it make a copy in "itunes folder" again??

  • Having network printer connection problems using a Macbook Pro

    I hope a "greater mind" can suggest a solution to the following problem:
    Up until 2 days ago, I was successfully connected to the network printer at my office using both my Macbook Pro at work and at home (both wirelessly, OS 10.6.8). From yesterday, however, I now only receive the following message when I send a file for printing: "network host (and then its IP address) is busy. Will try again in 10 seconds."
    All right, my system admin. advised me to re-install the printer on both computers.  I did. In printer set-up, 1) Protocol: Line Printer Daemon - LPD; 2) Address: the IP address of the printer; 3) Queue: secinmac. This is the queue name specifically for Mac use and given to us by the company who installed our network printer; 4) Name: we use the printer's IP address; 5) Location: left blank; 6) Print Using: Generic PCL Laser Printer. Further for 6), in the "installable options" dialog box, I click "Duplexer". Then, finally, I click "ADD". The printer is added.
    However, when I try to print a file, I continue to get the "busy" message.  The file spools for about 3%, and then the "busy message" appears, and I cannot print.  You can imagine how frustrating this is when the problem has arisen from one day to the next!  A colleague who also uses a MacBook Pro sent a file to print on the network printer today, and he had no problems!  I, however, have no success !
    Any ideas that can help me?  Thanks, in advance!

    Thank you for taking the time to respond.
    Yes, I tried this when I was reading a bit of Apple communities history on this matter, and it did not work.  I also tried this, and then rebooted my Mac, but to no avail!  While I was at the office today, my system admin also logged into our network and tried to get something to print on his Mac, but he now has the same problem as I do.
    He gets the "busy message", too !
    I'll try to see if I can get a solution from APPLE by going through my support service agreement.....From reading the history on this issue, I would have thought that APPLE would have worked on this to come up with a fix by now...!
    Thank you again for your suggestion!  Cheers.

  • Printing problems using a macbook pro and an hp photosmart 309g printer

    I am using a macbook pro with lion 10.7.4.  I have been printing on a wireless hp photosmart 309g printer and all of a sudden, on 90% or more of what I try and print, every once in a while a line wil print but the rest is faded or you might say smeared.  I have been having it for over a year (the printer) and it has worked just fine with my macbook pro.  Could someone please tell me if they have had this problem.  It is not my ink, I uninstalled the printer and reinstalled it.......  PLEASE HELP ME.

    You can try resetting the printing system. Just secondary click below the list of printers in the white space, when you are  in print and scan preferences.

  • Itunes 64 bit wont install on my Dell XPS due to Windows Installer problems. Can somebody help me out with this?

    I have Windows 7 home premium, running on a Dell XPS 15, with 64 bit OS, and when i went to install itunes for my new phone, it would almost install, but then say that it couldn't install due to issues with windows Installer. has anybody had this happen to them? can anybody help me out with this?

    Many thanks.
    "There is a problem with this Windows Installer Package. A program required for this install to complete could not be run. Contact your support personnel or package vendor".
    Perhaps let's first try updating your Apple Software Update.
    Launch Apple Software Update ("Start > All Programs > Apple Software Update"). Does it launch and offer you a newer version of Apple Software Update? If so, choose to install just that update to Apple Software Update. (Deselect any other software offered at the same time.)
    If the ASU update goes through okay, try another iTunes install. Does it go through without the errors this time?

  • Wireless networking problems using iMac, Macbook, airport extreme & express

    Here's my setup:
    iMac in study has 100+ gigs of music on an attached hard drive
    iMac running 10.5.8
    Airport extreme in study
    Macbook in living room that I use Itunes to connect to hard drive in study
    Macbook running
    iTunes on Macbook has it's Media Folder as the one that's on the hard drive in the study.
    Airport express in living room, with direct connection to stereo
    To play music on the stereo, I prefer to use the Macbook to connect to the iMac/hard drive in the study, as I don't want to keep walking into the study to change music.
    Once I get a connection it's usually ok, but the problem is in getting a stable connection in the first place. Sometimes I have to go through a rigmarole where I turn off all the computers and then turn on iMac, hard drive, Macbook, before connecting to the iMac wirelessly before playing music. Sometimes I might need to do that twice before it works.
    If I don't, I get the message in iTunes on the Macbook: Connection failed - The server "macintosh-2" may not esist or is unavailable at this time. Check the server name or IP address, check your network connection and try again.
    Sometimes I'll have access to most songs, but a certain few will get the message above.
    Is my setup the thing that's causing this 'slippery' network connection?
    I'm wondering whether my hard drive isn't fast enough - it's a no-name brand which I got cheaply about 5 years ago. Maybe it's just not up to it? Or is it the fact one puter's on Tiger, one's on Leopard?
    Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

    have you checked for _*wireless interference*_ ?
    download iStumbler (may not work on 10.6) or AirRadar (it has a trial period) and note the channels other networks in your vicinity are broadcasting on. change the channel(s) of your network as far away as possible from those.
    any improvement ?

    possible but i doubt it. in my iTunes test environment, i have a cheap USB drive connected to my TC. iTunes fetches tunes from it via the network, then streams the music back via the network. i have no issues streaming even HD movies in the 10 gig range.
    i assume the extreme is your main router ? what you can try is hardwire as much as possible, i.e. run ethernet cables from the extreme to all Macs. if physical cables is no option (due to location), you might consider *powerline adapters* _*such as these*_.
    here's an interesting read on the subject.
    Or is it the fact one puter's on Tiger, one's on Leopard?
    as long as all Macs are current on the software side, it shouldn't matter.

  • Problem with my Macbook - HELP PLEASE!!!!!!!!

    Hello, and please help!
    This is my second 1.83ghz 1 gb ram 80 gb hard drive Macbook. The first one mooed and had a buzzy display. This one has been perfect for three weeks. Have loved it. But today, my girlfriend shut it down, apparently properly, we took it out of it's case to use it and the fan was on FULL blast. Even though the computer was off! It then wouldn't turn on for ages. The macbook was very, very hot at this point.
    Eventually it restarted when the fan went off ten minutes later. The battery level had gone from 80% to 28%. And then it said 'Mac OS X unexpetedly quit' and carried on as normal.... for the moment.
    My girlfriend said 'it's done it once before' too.
    Any heads up on this? Many thanks in advance.
    Paddy

    It definitly sounds like she instructed the computer to shut down, but did not wait for the Mac OS to actually shut off the computer befre closing the lid. Doing so suspends activity and puts the computer into sleep mode where it still uses power. If you put the computer in a bag, the heat will build up, and I would expect it do do as you described.
    Ask your girlfriend if she waited for the screen to turn black or not. If she did wait for the screen to turn black, then you definitly have a problem that should be taken up with AppleCare, or Apple.
    If this post was helpful, please mark it as such.

  • Wi-Fi problem with my Macbook Help

    I have a newer Macbook with 10.5.8 operating system, tons of extra ram and an upgraded hard drive.
    At work my wireless connection is plenty strong and works perfectly fine, but at home my web pages and any videos load extremely slow. At work and at home I use the same linksys router. Normally I would figure it's a problem with my router at home but I have another macbook with lesser computing power and an older operating system but it works perfectly fine at home along with my ipod touch.
    Does any one have any idea what the problem could be?
    thanks for an advice in advance.

    Linksys routers are known for having terrible WiFi especially with older firmwares. The problem might still occur with the newest one too, though. Try using a cable and turning off WiFi on your MacBook and see if the problems go away. If that's the case you could get a new router or a new WiFi access point like the Airport Express to solve the issue.

  • Can Aperture V. 3.4.5 read Panasonic GH4 Raw Photo Files? Is problem using Vintaged MacBook Pro 8  years old?

    Have vintaged MacBook Pro 15" running Mac OSX 10.7.5 but can't view downloaded GH4 Photos and all available software upgrades loaded?
    My GH4 photos show in aperture running on my iMac 27 at home (2-3 years old)? 
    Anyway to get the Vintage Macbook Pro and Aperture 3.4.5 to view the GH4 photos/

    That camera is not yet supported, see the list of currently available RAW support:
    http://www.apple.com/aperture/specs/raw.html
    It usually takes a few month after the release of a new camera for the RAW support to be available.
    But even, when the RAW support will  finally be released, it will probably require the latest version of MacOS X Mt. Lion or Mavericks - all recent RAW support has been released only for the newer versions of Aperture or iPhoto.
    As a work-around, use the software that comes with the camera (SILKYPIX) to convert your RAW to a different lossless format (e.g. TIFF)

  • Problem with my macbook, help!

    i just noticed this the other day but when i shake my macbook. when i say that i shook it, what i was doing was watching a movie on my bed and i dropped the laptop onto my bed from an inch in the air, and when it dropped, i noticed the movie i was watching froze temporarily. is this a problem with my computer specifically and should i be worried about it?

    As Jay said... this is normal (and actually a good sign that things are working as they should). The sudden motion sensor doesn't actually stop "all" moving components... it just parks the head on your hard drive to prevent it from making contact with the spinning platter inside... which could potentially destroy the drive.
    If you get bored and want to see how sensitive the sudden motion sensor actually is... you can download and install SeisMac:
    http://www.suitable.com/tools/seismac.html
    It's a little utility that outputs the activity of the sudden motion sensor. It's pretty amazing how sensitive it actually is. The monitor can register something as minor as someone just walking across the floor.

  • Droid Razr M update is a nightmare - any helpful hints out there?

    The latest update for my Droid has been nothing but a nightmare! I couldn't even use the phone after the update was forced on me. Many hours and several tech calls later to Verizon and Motorola and I can at least use the phone after having to do a factory reset but I am NOT happy at all! Hoping someone else has worked through these problems already and can help me out.
    Bluetooth - had to reconnect to my car obviously and now I am not longer notified on messages when I am in the car?
    Battery life - where did it go? Where does it go? All I know is it goes - FAST! Way faster than before the upgrade.
    Random messages saying Amazon Kindle or Appstore or NFL Mobile has crashed. I never installed or use them so why does this keep happening? Can they be disabled without causing even more issues?
    Text messages - used to be able to delete several at once now it is one at a time. Completely unacceptable! I can get a hundred or more messages a day from work and I have to delete them all one at a time? I have to save some if I need to reference it later so I can't just throw all of them in the trash.
    I have been ready to pitch the phone since this "improvement" was done. I could go back to my old flip phone - didn't have all the features but I never had any problems with it...
    Thanks in advance for any help or suggestions. I appreciate it!

        HitCast,
    I'm sorry you are having trouble installing the update. I'm surprised that with the steps you have taken, you are still unable to install it. Are you using WiFi? When going to Settings>About Phone>System Updates what displays? If you are in Settings>About Phone, what information displays under Android Version and System version? Generally, if the software is not installing through this path, a master reset would need to be done to help push the update.

  • Help me out in developing LC application

    I am beginner to this technology , and It will be great if somebody can drive me on how to complete a livecycle application.
    I have read much about this LC and, I know, we have LC Designer or LC Workebench designer perspective to design our forms and process perspective to create workflow.
    I have LC installed in my machine and now, i would like to develop an application based on the below use case.Kindly help me out to reach this objective.
    Summary of Use case:
    An employee fills up (online or offline whichever is suitable for him/her) and sends an Expense Reimbursement Form to his/her Head of Department (HOD) for approval. Employee can also use Adobe Livecycle Workspace to fill up the said form. HOD has rights to approve or reject the said form. In case of rejection, employee will be notified through email. If HOD approves the form, it then redirects to Accounts Department for reimbursement. After the operations of Accounts Department like valuation of expense etc., the form then redirects to Administration Department for further processing like cheque no. entry etc. Finally, employee will be notified through email to collect his/her cheque from concerned department.
    Looking forward for valuable suggestions and guidance on how to develop this application(a kind of step by step walkthrough).
    Thanks,
    Vinod Chattergee.S

    There is an end-to-end tutorial that is available at http://www.adobe.com/go/learn_lc_firstApplication_82 that steps you through creating an application. The scenario in the tutorial shows you how to create a form design and a process where users interact with it in Workspace ES. You will also need to download the assets require to step through the tutorial located at http://www.adobe.com/go/learn_lc_firstApplicationZip_82. Go to the provided URLs to get the most updated versions.or
    To start this tutorial, it is recommended that you install a JBoss Turnkey installation of LiveCycle ES Update1 (server) and Workbench ES. I presume you have done this, but if you require more information, please let me know and I'll provide more information.
    Hope that helps!
