Problem with Edit Preferences in iTunes

I am having problems with my iTunes, which keeps reverting to a default file on my laptop rather than the file on the NAS drive I want it to use as a reference point for all my music.  This is particularly strange as I have just changed my NAS drive from a Buffalo Linkstation mini to a Synology ds411j - and I didn't have this problem with the previous NAS unit..
As a result, I am not able to synchronise music with my iPhone - and my family can't synchronise their devices either.  This is making me unpopular.  Can anyone help please.

Thanks for your help. I have it seems a range of places where ITunes is looking.  The first is where it should be looking - it will only do this however when I locate the file manually.  Once I do locate this one file, it will go on to locate many of the other files:
This is what it prefers - and as some of the music is in this location it will easily locate and play those files.
These are other options it takes which don't work - e,g.
where M is a mapped drive to the Diskstation location.  Both this mapped drive and the correct Diskstation location will show as //localhost/ and fail as a consequence.
One other difference between the old NAS which worked and the new NAS is that the new NAS requires password confirmation when I manually locate the file.  Not sure whether this has an impact on iTunes' ability to locate the file automatically.

  • Problem with trasferring music from itunes to Iphone 3Gs.

    Hi
    I have a problem with trasferring music from Itunes to Iphone and that is,
    as soon as I finish transferring music to my Iphone, Itunes suddenly stops at the stage of where it says (at the top-centre of the screen), 'Sync Min's Iphone'.
    Due to this reason, I've restored my Iphone a couple of times and reinstalled itunes but same problem occurs whenever I try to transfer music.
    It appears music are successfully transfered since I could play the music on my Iphone but I wanna fix the problem since it's pretty annoying.
    is there anything I can do about it?
    Thanks

    Make sure you have the latest version of iTunes (8.2.1?). If so, I'd reinstall iTunes, if the phone is otherwise working fine.

  • Problems with some songs in iTunes (and my iPod)

    Hi,
    I do not know whether this is the right category for my problem, but I did not find a suitable one.
    I have problems with some songs in iTunes. They do not sound right. It is hard to me to describe my problem in English (thanks to apple's "great" support...I was not able to contact them personally except by phone). The songs "hang", they sound like someone reels (?) it. The problem does not only appear with iTunes but also with my iPod nano first generation.
    My godmother brang me CDs where that problems appear (but not the whole CDs have that problem, only a few songs) from the USA - I live in Germany. Maybe that is cause of the error. But I cannot imagine that, because CDs there and here have the same format and I have several CDs from the US where is no problem at all. I am absolutely sure that the CDs are originals and not a copy, by the way.
    Maybe you can help me, it would be great!
    Thanks,
    Jule

    Yes, I thought that's what Restore should do, but the problems remain.  Hmmm, the out of order 'album's' songlist is notated 1 of 8, 2 of 8, 3 of 8...  I'll try 01, 02...
    Probably a good idea.
    The other album is running through the list of songs like fast-forward, but not playing the songs.  Then, iPod locks up.
    Do these same tracks play okay in iTunes?  What is the original source for these tracks?  Were they downloads from the iTunes Store or imported from outside of iTunes?  What format are they encoded in and at what bitrate?

  • After iphoto 9.1.5. problem with editing photos

    After I did the 9.1.5. update I have a problem with editing photo's. My photo's are about 35mb a piece.. they are panoramic photo's. Editing used to work perfect in iphoto 8.. after I went to iphoto 9 it became buggy.. (it crashes on certain photo's that 8 could handle without a problem).. but I learned to live with it. Now I did the 9.1.5. update and I can edit maybe 2 or 3 pics without a problem.. then when I get to number 4 Iphoto will show me a black screen.
    If I close iphoto and start it again, I can continue where I left off.. untill I get to a picture that seems to ruin the party.. and then I have to restart again..
    Iphoto 8 used to work so smooth with panoramic photo's.. dont know where it went wrong..

    There are several possible causes for the Black Screen issue
    1. Permissions in the Library: Back Up and try rebuild the library: hold down the command and option (or alt) keys while launching iPhoto. Use the resulting dialogue to rebuild. Include the option to check and repair permissions.
    2. Minor Database corruption: Back Up and try rebuild the library: hold down the command and option (or alt) keys while launching iPhoto. Use the resulting dialogue to rebuild.
    3. A Damaged Photo: Select one of the affected photos in the iPhoto Window and right click on it. From the resulting menu select 'Show File (or 'Show Original File' if that's available). Will the file open in Preview? If not then the file is damaged. Time to restore from your back up.
    4. A corrupted iPhoto Cache: Trash the com.apple.iPhoto folder from HD/Users/Your Name/Library/ Caches...
    5. A corrupted preference file: Trash the com.apple.iPhoto.plist file from the HD/Users/ Your Name / library / preferences folder. (Remember you'll need to reset your User options afterwards. These include minor settings like the window colour and so on. Note: If you've moved your library you'll need to point iPhoto at it again.)
    If none of these help:
    As a Test:
    Hold down the option (or alt) key key and launch iPhoto. From the resulting menu select 'Create Library'
    Import a few pics into this new, blank library. Is the Problem repeated there?

  • Problems with Mail, Safari and iTunes after updating to 10.5.6

    Hi all,
    after installing 10.5.6 I have problems with Mail, Safari and iTunes.
    The time to open mails, websides and iTunes store is increasing dramatically since the update. If I open a webside parallel with Safari and Firefox, Safari needs minimum 15 times longer to open the complete side. Mails containing HTML-code also needs a long time to be opened. Tha same Problem with iTunes store. Connecting to the Store costs at least 30 - 40 seconds. And unfortunately for every iTunes store side I open. Its terrible
    Any idea or workaroung to solve that problem?
    Regards
    Michael

    First, run Disk Utility and repair permissions and then restart.
    I installed the 10.5.6 Combo update. Sometimes things get "lost in the translation" when you use Software Update depending on your installation. Perhaps you can download 10.5.6 Combo from the website and install it from your desktop.

  • Problem with Edit IN function between LR 2.3 and PS CS3

    I recently upgraded my system to a Windows Vista 64 bit Core 2 Quad with 8 GB.  Lightroom now works and loads images the way it should. I do have one major concern and need any help possible.
    I am using LR 2.3 in 64 bit and PS CS3 ver 10.0.1 (which is 32 bit - loads slowly but otherwise works fine).  The problem I am encountering is in LR Develop / Photo / Edit In...  - using any of the menu items:
    "Edit in Abode Photoshop CS3"
    "Open as Smart Object In Photoshop"
    "Merge to Panorama in Photoshop"
    "Merge to HDR in Photoshop"
    "Open as layers in Photoshop"
    Photoshop opens but no image(s) are exported and I receive the message in LR - "The file could not be edited because Adobe Photoshop CS3 could not be launched."
    Photoshop, however, was launched but no image exported and so I can't work on the image in PS.  The appropriate TIFF image is created in LR for the first two menu items - nothing for the last three menu items.
    I can create a partial work around by setting PS as an external editor, however, I can't use 4 of 5 of the menu items.
    All the menu items work fine in Windows XPpro.
    Any help is much appreciated.
    PS I also tried the most recent Window 7 RC with exactly the same results.
    Thanks

    I wasn't shouting - I just cut and paste the exact text and font in its original size and type as was shown in the message.  Never had a thought that someone would be offended by cutting and pasting exactly what was in a message - it would appear that John Williams saw it for what it was.
    However, sorry if I offended you.

  • Problem with 'Edit Locally' command -- Due to IISProxy?

    Hi,
    We have a problem with 'Edit Locally' command since we are using Windows Authentication. Our architecture is:
    SAP EP 6.0 SP2 Patch 28 (Solaris)
    IIS Proxy (Windows 2003)
    The situation is:
    If we access to SAP Portal using old url (directly to Solaris) using form-based authentication we do not have any problem with 'edit locally' command.
    However, if we access to SAP Portal using IISProxy and Windows Authentication we get an 'Operation failed' error message.
         Java plug-in console shows the following message:
    cargar: clase com/sapportals/wcm/app/docapplet/DocApplet.class no encontrada.

    Where is the problem? Is due to authentication method? SAP Portal or IISProxy configuration?
    Thanks,

    Thanks for your comment,
    Now, we have tested with version 1.5.0_01 plugin version but the result is the same: 'Operation failed'
    This is a very important topic to solve before installing Windows Authentication in a productive environment.
    Has anybody any solution?
