Question about moving or sharing music

My teen son has a new iPod. Up until now, our iTunes account was through my email address because he was too young. He would like to have his own account. How do we move all the music he has on my account to his?

You can't sync or drag your music back directly from an iPod to iTunes, the transfer of music is designed by default to be one way from iTunes to iPod. However there is a manual method of accessing the iPod's hard drive and copying songs but not playlists back to iTunes on Windows posted in this thread: MacMuse - iPod to iTunes
If you prefer something more automated then there are a number of third party utilities that you can use to retrieve the music files and playlists from your iPod, this is just a selection. Have a look at the web pages and documentation for these, they are generally quite straightforward.

Question about moving a site

This isn't a Dreamweaver question, but you guys have been
great help in the past. Perhaps you can help me here.
I have a customer, WC, who had a site through one of these
'template' companies. I have redesigned his site. His domain name
is registered through Network Solutions. If I leave the domain
registration with Network Solutions but CHANGE his hosting company,
will anything (settings, Cnames, MX records, etc) need to change on
their Microsoft Exchange server? They no longer have a network
admin, and I'm not familiar with Exchange. I don't want to risk
crashing their email for a day!
Thanks!

This will only be true if you are not using an exchange
server. When I do
this for non-exchange server domains, I always have the
clients set up a new
email account that grabs incoming email from the new
mailserver, while they
also continue to get it from the old one. In the 72 - 96
hours it takes to
be really sure all DN servers have propagated, they will
receive email from
both locations. After that time, they can then cancel their
original
hosting account, and remove the associated email account.

No - not if they are using an exchange server.

Question about moving music from an iPod to your computer.

In my household, we have iTunes on three different computers. My mother downloaded music on my brother's computer, and it's on his library. We want to burn a cd with the purchased album, but his computer does not have a cd burner, but the other two do. Is there a way to move music from one computer to another, or possibly moving music from an iPod to a computer's library?

Music is synced to iphone from itunes.
Plug in iphone and select whatever you like to sync from itunes to iphone.

Question about moving iTunes Media folder/library

Hello,
I'm responding to the article listed here: iTunes for Windows: Moving your iTunes Media folder - Apple Support that describes moving your iTunes media folder. I have a massive music library/playlists (over 350 gigs and growing). I'm planning to relocate my media folder to Dropbox because I have ample space there and it will allow me to run my library off of multiple computers (though not at the same time). My question is this: if I follow the steps and consolidate and relocate my library to the new Dropbox folder, will all my new uploads and downloads/purchases/imports also start automatically going to this newly specified location? I want to make sure that it would.
Thanks

Well the way that Dropbox works for me (just documents and data, not iTunes) is that I have a complete copy of the files in my Dropbox folder on my computer at home, and at work, and in the cloud on Dropbox's servers. Each time I update one of the files it is uploaded to Dropbox and then downloaded to the other client machine. When using another computer I can access my files from the Dropbox web interface, or use the Dropbox app on my iPad. It sounds like you are hoping that you can have all of your files in the cloud, and only in the cloud. I don't think it works that way.
For 350Gb and growing I think that realistically you need to stick with local storage. I clone my library to a 1Tb portable drive which I physically take to and from work, At each location I use SyncToy to synchronize the local and portable copies of the libraries effectively giving me three parallel clones of the library at all times.

Questions about moving from Mobile Me to iCloud

I just upgraded my iPhone to iOS5 and am curious about the move to iCloud for my mobileme account. I know there are articles out there, but they seem very generic and do not put my fears to rest.
Here are my questions and concerns. I figure they will be easy for a lot of you to answer, but I need to pose them before I make the jump.
1.) Do I need Lion to move to iCloud? (from the articles I read I'm pretty sure the answer is yes, but I thought I'd clarify)
2.) I have more than one mobileme account that has calendars and mail synced on my computer. If I upgrade one account do I have to upgrade the other at the same time for iCal and Mail to work?
3.) My husband's mobileme account syncs his work calendar. It is very important that I don't lose his information and that his calendar works flawlessly after the upgrade. Has anyone run into problems with the calendar syncing? I will not move anyone's accounts if iCloud is still experiencing a lot of bugs. I will of course make a backup copy of his calendar before upgrading, but his calendar changes often and is synced to two iMacs, a Macbook Pro, Mac Mini, an iPad and an iPhone it will not be practical to keep track of his calendar and if it is syncing properly.
4.) How do I actually make the switch to iCloud once I make up my mind to do it? My Phone told me to sign into me.com to do this, but when I signed in I didn't see how to say that I wanted to use the iCloud. Maybe this is because I haven't upgraded to Lion yet?
Thanks!

I am curious about the comment you can only use one iCloud account at a time. Right now I have my moblieme calendar and my husband's mobileme calendar both visible in iCal. That is very convenient for us because then he doesn't have to open up a separate user on the iMac just to check his calendar (this is our home computer that is mainly mine). Are you telling me that I won't be able to use both CalDAV accounts in iCal anymore? Will it force me to use only one?
Most of our music and videos was purchased under my .mac account, so iTunes isn't a problem, but we like to share one user on the computer and still be able to see both our calendars and e-mail.

Important Question About Moving Files

Aloha DW Community
I need help/confirmation on this before i do it. I have
inherrited the website from hell; that meaning the folders on my
computer and on the server are very unorganized. There are images
all over the place, in places they just should not be stored. i am
getting ready to switch to a new service provider for the site so i
want to start as fresh as possible. i have already downloaded the
whole site from the server to my local computer. i have gone
through and deleted all the old files that are no longer needed.
now before i upload this site to the new server i want to collect
all the images that are spread about and place them in the same
folder. my question is this - if i gather all the images together
and upload the site, will dreamweaver correct all the link paqths
that have been switched around by me moving all the pictures? i
know DW does this, but i am not sure if it will do it on such a
large scale.
if you know the answer, please let me know.
thank you in advance
all the best to you
e~

Do all of your organizational moves within DW's Files panel.
You should be
fine.

Question about moving itunes to wd external drive?

i found the page where it says u can move itunes music to external drive but will that include my tv shows also and if so can i delete it from my laptop after i move it to other drive?

\Music\iTunes\ folder is the main iTunes library location. It contains the library files, music files and everything else.
I have all of my music files already stored on an external HD. But for some reason when i moved it all
What exactly does "moved it all" mean? What did you move?
in other words in the old drive I still have the following files:
itunes library genius
-itunes library extras
-itunes library
These three are all the same type of files. I don't know what type of files they are
The iTunes library.itl file is the iTunes database file. Without that, iTunes is empty.
Since i already have all of my music files on my ext. HD can I delete these files without messing anything up?
Only if you want iTunes to be completely empty and you want to start from scratch.
Moving the music file syourself is not the correct way to do it. iTunes will lose everything.
If you want to move everything, copy the entire \Music\iTunes\ folder to a new location.
Hold Shift and launch iTunes.
Select *Choose library* and select the iTunes library.itl file in the iTunes folder you moved.

Question about moving itunes to an external hard drive

I have all of my music files already stored on an external HD. But for some reason when i moved it all only the music got moved. in other words in the old drive I still have the following files:
-itunes library genius
-itunes library extras
-itunes library
These three are all the same type of files. I don't know what type of files they are , but the have a music clef on top of a CD with the letters LIB. Then I also have the "itunes music library xml" file.
I also have quite a few of the yellow document folders:
-previous itunes libraries
-itunes musicOLD
-itunes music
-ipod games
-album artwork
Since i already have all of my music files on my ext. HD can I delete these files without messing anything up? Or should I move them at the same time I move the other files?
Thanks so much for your help. I am a total newb at this.

Question about moving library file/playlists

I've just switched to a new computer, and while I was able to move my music and video, my playlists were gone(the music and video were on an external HD, but the library file with the playlists was on the old computer's HD). I've found the library file on the old computer, and I plan on plugging the external HD into the old comp and copying the libary file to it as a means to getting it onto the new comp.
Just one question: The previous comp was badly corrupted by viruses. I'm worried that if I copy the library file to the new comp, the new comp will become infected as well. Is this a risk? What can I do to prevent it?
Also, if I get the library file onto the new comp....then what?

Format the drive using your PC. Connect it to your Mac. Transfer the files. Connect to your PC. All is well.

DW CS4 Question about Moving Content to New Site

Hi,
I'm supposed to meet with a client later about creating a new website and moving all content from the old to the new. Right now, I have no idea how many pages the old one has. I'm assuming the worst, which means I'm assuming there will be a lot of pages.
So after I create a new home page and then a new secondary page, is there some kind of automated procedure Dreamweaver CS4 has that will help me quickly get all of this old content into the new content? I'm hoping there is because I really want to avoid having to go to each old page, copy the content, and then paste it one by one. As I think about this, though, if suppose the old site has 100 pages, I guess I'll have to create 100 new secondary pages, then somehow get the content of each of these 100 pages into the new 100 pages.
Any help is appreciated.

I agree. I'm thinking it will probably be easier to start from the ground up. My biggest fear is it will be 5,000 or 10,000 pages. And from what I understand (I'll get more specifics at the meeting) the job must be done by 10/27/10, which leaves precious little time.
I'm meeting with the client this week so as of right now, they cannot show me the existing site until the meeting.

Question about moving chat and call history

Downgrading to an older version from the newest version of Skype. The older version is not supposed to support the horrendous formatting *the bold text between stars* and such. However, I have heard that when you downgrade, the formatting STAYS and the only way to get rid of it permanantly (without having to input a command every single time you start Skype up) is to completely reset Skype's settings by renaming the appdata directory and letting a new one be created. Of course, this means your chat history and such is in the OLD folder, not the new one.
My question is this: If I do this reset, then move my chat history from the old folder to the new one so that said chat history is restored to Skype, will the unwanted formatting return WITH it, or will that still be disabled?
Solved!
Go to Solution.

Yunimori wrote:
Yes, but from everything I've seen, that doesn't actually fix the problem, it only works until you restart Skype or your computer. I am looking for a permanant solution; aka something I only have to do ONCE, not something I have to RE-DO every time I restart Skype/computer.
Temporary is not a solution. Permanant is. Thank you.
This was only an issue with the early 7.0 Skype version. The solution is permanent with the older Skype 6.21 version as well as with the latest Skype 7.1/7.2/7.3 versions.

The chat command /setupkey *Lib/Conversation/EnableWiki 0, has exactly the same effect as editing the shared.xml file.

Question about moving CS5.5 to another hard drive on same PC

I'd like to move my CS5.5 to another drive on the same system, purely a question of real estate on C drive, now crowded to the max. I have a 1 Terabyte drive that I want to move this suite to. I'm sure I would have to deactivate and uninstall before doing so and hope that CS5.5 can live on the non-C drive as well.
Outside of deactivating, what other factors might I be overlooking? Thank you in advance.

Bossman344 the Creative Suite 5.5 should support the custom installation. Please be aware that shared components and certain required resources will always be installed to your primary drive.
Is your C drive an SSD?

Question about the arrangement of music files within an album

Hi all,
I used to have a cheap MP3 player that worked just like a portable hard drive--drag-and-drop and organized into folders. I wanted the quality of an iPod, but with the organizational convenience of my old player, so I decided to change the tags of all my MP3s so that the album titles were the titles of all my old folders. This basically worked--whenever a folder was organized by tracks, I would open up the album, and there were all my files, properly arranged. The problem is when the "album" wasn't actually an album. I tried to change all the track numbers to "1" hoping that the iPod would just then arrange the files in alphabetical order by title. But it doesn't. I can't figure out what system it uses, but I figured you might know. Here are the questions:
How does the 5G iPod determine the file order of tracks within an album when all the tracks have the same number?
and
If track number is the only thing it checks, is there any way for me to cheat and get the songs in alphabetical order without manually giving them all a track number?
and on an unrelated note
Anyone find the standard issue Apple earbuds to be too large? Any recommendations for slightly smaller earbuds that are at least at the same quality level? A few suggestions at different price levels would be appreciated. And I assume you already have a discussion for that, so a link would suffice.
Thanks,
John

wow that is crazy i can't believe it is able to transpose audio loops (not midi) to different keys. especially stuff with more then one note playing at the same time like guitar strum.
I know how to set up the key in logic and change it etc... i was really wondering how it is capable of doing this?? does it have some kind of melodyne or autotune built in to it?? i never heard of software being able to do this with pre recorded audio that plays more than one note at a time.

Question about using a shared file

Please feel free to jerk my chain to the right fire hydrant, if I'm in the wrong spot for this question?
Supposing I want to "share" an excel file located on my server with a work group, and I want to "Admin" cells (add a number, in order to perform a calculation within the spreadsheet) from a remote location via a hand held device with an internet connection, such as a routine inventory of stock. Is this feasable? Could I do this with an iPhone, or some other hand held device?

Possible? maybe, but it's a lot of work.
For one, the iPhone can open Excel documents, but it can't edit them. Some Windows Mobile-based devices may be able to but IMHO this is the wrong approach.
Excel is great for single-user applications. It falls down when you want multiple people to maintain the data. For example - what happens when someone in the office is using the file and your mobile device (whatever that may be) opens the file to make changes? If it even lets you you're almost certainly going to corrupt the file since the office user won't notice the changes you make remotely.
So for any kind of dynamic data a database-based approach would be better. Some databases include web-based front-ends (so anyone with a web browser can view/edit the data), others have support from multiple script languages such as Perl, PHP, Java, etc. that let you develop your own web front-end.
For the users that are familiar with Excel, even Excel can pull data from a database to populate the worksheet.

Question about backing up my music

I have songs in my iTunes music folder that I don't reguarly listen to and so I don't have them in the playlist. I am wanting to back up all of my music but am unsure if the songs in the folder that are not in my playlist will also be backed up. Any help would be wonderful, thank you.

Here is a background article on the iTUnes library files - does that clear things up for you?
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=93732
Also, be warned - using iTunes to backup your library does NOT back up purchased audiobooks.

+Spoken programs purchased from the Audible.com website are not backed up.+
