Re-associating play-lists with moved files

I know this topic comes up a lot but I am not clear on the answer. How do I Re-associate play-lists with moved files?
I used to have all my music stored under- Music/My Music, on my Macs HD. ( I did not use the iTunes folder in the same music directory)
I then moved the entire Music folder to an external hard drive.
Is there a simple way of re-associating all my playlists to Music/My Music, on my external drive with one setting?

As Katrina says it is easiest, if possible, to switch the letters back. It would help, however, to be precise about what has changed as it may be that with a little assistance iTunes can cope with the change.
If, for example, your database files are still on drive C: and you had relocated the *iTunes Media* folder to say *D:\iTunes Media*, which is now *E:\iTunes Media* then changing the media folder location in iTunes preferences, followed by closing & reopening iTunes ought to resolve things.
If things were more randomly organised, i.e. not inside the iTunes Media folder, then it becomes harder. It is possible, in principle, to write a script which performs a seach and replace on the iTunes track paths, but because iTunes won't report the original location of a "missing" file this is not so eash to do in practice. I do however have a script I'm working on that can switch the location from A to B if the file can be made to appear in both locations using say a Junction or Symbolic Link or a SUBST command. Once all the files have been remapped the Junction/SymLink or SUBST could be removed.

  • Premiere Pro CC not playing fair with .mov files

    I have a CC account and use Premiere Pro on my PC with no issues so far except that the RAM and Graphics card suck. So I decided to run on my laptop running windows 8 rather than 7.
    AE runs with no issues (so far), but when I use Premiere Pro it does not like .mov files for some reason.
    I imported files from my iPad and it gives me this message:
    Error Message
    "The FIle Has no Audio or Video Streams"
    To work around it for now, I converted the file into mp4 and imported to edit from there. Now issue is that we need to place a lower third. I have an AE project as the .mov file imports into that no problem, but when I then export as quicktime file for the alpha channel it still will not import into Premiere Pro, same error message.
    I can export as .avi but then the file screams 'MASSIVE' as it is over 1.5gb cpmpared to the 32mb as a .mov file.
    Bottom line, cannot get any .mov to import into PP on my laptop even though it works fine on my PC. Also, .mov files play fine in AE??
    Please HELP
    Martin

    Hi MartinSalteruk,
    Thanks for contacting Adobe Forums,
    As I understood you are only getting issues with .mov files, Please check if you Quicktime player installed on the system.

  • How to play disk with .IFO file on it

    I was given a CD with one file on it, an .IFO file.
    It's supposed to have video of my niece's children's theatre play on it but I'm not sure what application to use to play this.
    It could be that my niece's parents were well-meaning and didn't send the proper format or media.
    Any help out there?

    An .ifo file is an information file for a DVD. It stores information such as the chapters, subtitles, and audio tracks. It's not directly playable.
    Are you sure that's the only file on the disc? Perhaps your view settings are putting some of the files outside of the viewable portion of the window - icon view sometimes does this.
    If you Get Info on the disc (Command-I or in the Finder, File->Get Info), how much space is used on the disc?

    Unfortunatly it' s beyond the scope of this forum to give that detailed advice on basic java se techniques like opening a file input stream and working with collections.
    Please refer to the suns standard documentation on file i/o and collections for detailed information on that.

  • Need help with moving files into Itunes and syncing

    Please help.
    I have an external hard drive with my music on it.  I created a new playlist in Itunes and did a drag and drop from my external hard drive into my newly created playlist. 
    Now that I go back and play the items I brought over, I get an error that says "original files not found" and it won't play and therefore does not seem to be syncing to the Ipod to be able to play.
    Can you please give me guidance as to what I can do without recreating all the work I had already done?
    Thanks,
    Michelle

    Is the external drive connected?
    Has the drive letter possibly changed due to being disconnected and reconnected?

  • Permission issue with moving files for windows

    We run Quickbooks Enterprise on Macs. Parallels / Window 7 on iMacs for the client and data is on a Mac Pro. I am trying to move the data to an xserve, but the permissions get modified and quickbooks does not work, it gives me a -6000, -83 error.
    The permissions on the Pro have "nobody Read & Write" and after the move to the Xserve they become "ghoberg Read & Write". I tried the following methods to move the data and all of them had the same results:
    1) Copy;
    2) ditto /Volumes/ghoberg/QuickBooks /Shared\ Points/Windows/Quickbooks
    3) ditto -rsrcFork /Volumes/ghoberg/QuickBooks /Shared\ Points/Windows/Quickbooks
    4) ditto /Volumes/ghoberg/QuickBooks /Users/graysonh/Documents/test
    Any advise on coping the data over and keeping all the same permissions, etc?
    Any other thoughts on moving Quickbooks over to the the xserve?
    I can't get support from Quicken, because this is a windows software. We have been running windows quicken on macs for 4 or 5 years
    Thank you

  • Associating custom app with all files of certain extension

    I have an applescript which I saved as an application. I want all files with the .url extension to be opened with this app.
    If I drag+drop a .url file onto the app's icon, it opens with the app. I can also associate a single file with this app using Finder->Get Info and with RCDefaultApp. However, when I try to associate all .url files with this app, the old app immediately gets reselected. This happens both in Finder and RCDefaultApp.
    How can I get the association to work for all .url files?

    Perhaps I didn't explain correctly. I go to a .url file and Get Info. Under Open With I browse to my new application (with Always Open With checked) and click ok. Now the info window says Open with: my new app. If I stop here, then this single file will be associated with my app. However, I then click Change All and Continue and now the info window says Open with: Safari. This is the part I meant when I said that it immediately changes back when I try to change all.
    Alternately, using RCDefaultApp: I open RCDefaultApp, click on the Extensions tab, and select url. Default Application is Safari. If I change it to Firefox, it stays on Firefox. As opposed to if I select the app I made. If I do this, it flickers as if my app was selected for a moment then the selection reverts to what it was before I selected my app.

  • Help Please with moving files from an External HD to a New Hard Drive

    OK My Powermac MDD's Hard Drive Needs Replacing, but before I replace it I was told to buy Super Duper software and backup my hard drive and the applications onto an external Hard Drive. I am going to go and buy another external Hard Drive tomorrow and do this, but I have a few questions...
    What do I need to do to do this successfully? Please explain in the simplest of terms.
    Here's the steps as far as I understand. Please correct where necessary.
    1. Buy an external HD like an LaCie for example.
    2. Attach the LaCie external Hard Drive to my mac. *What Do I need to do to set it up to use with Super Duper? Please explain this in detail if possible as it is really confusing me how to set up my external LaCie Hard Drive so I can move my Files to it using Super Duper and then put the files back onto a new Hard Drive!*
    I've read I need to be able to "boot from the External Hard Drive" after I copy my files there using Super Duper. What do they mean by booting from the hard drive?
    Do I need to "format" my new LaCie Hard Drive?
    What do I use to format the LaCie Hard Drive? I think the last time I didn't have to do anything, when I used my external Hard Drive for storage only, but do I have to do something special now that I want to copy my whole hard Drive from the LaCe external back ont a "New" G4 Hard Drive?
    3. Buy or Download "Super Duper" software to copy all of the contents of my Hard Drive to the LaCie external Hard Drive. Does anyone know if the demo will do this or do I need the advanced features?

    Thanks Japamac, Wel this is a very lengthy reply so forgive me but I feel like I am getting close to understanding this so please bear with me. Thanks! Well I see I have 2 options that both sound viable. I ran disc utility and under S.M.A.R.T. it said: Failure. The only application I can't open is Safari and the drive is still turning properly and semi-reliable though, so I may be alright to clone still. There is stil the issue of errors though. If there are errors I agree with you I don't want to copy themm over to a new drive but can I not run disc utility after I copy verything over to the new drive?
    My reason for wanting to use Super Duper is that I have about 23 applications that all have different serial no's etc. and to reinstall all of these would take a considerable amount of time, so that's why I was wanting to use SD, but if "Migrate Assistant" will copy over applications like Photoshop, Mail and other applications then I think that might be a lot better because my install would be a lot cleaner and I could only install what I needed. What do you think?
    It looks like "Migration Assistant" only comes with Tiger. This throws a wrench into things. What would you do? Would you buy Tiger or just use Super Duper etc. Can I install Tiger onto my external Hard Drive only and then use "Migration Assistant" to transfer files over even if my Hard Drive only uses Panther? Sorry for all the questions but I see there are a few ways to do this and I want to use the method that will work best. : )
    So if i use Migrate Assistant do I need to copy over my system preferences too? I think if I copy my applications they will create new preferences when launched won't they. Also would all of my "Mail" information be copied over using "Migrate Assistant"
    Method #1 (Using Super Duper)
    1) Install the external HD and format it using "Disc Utility"
    2) Run "Super Duper" and clone my hard Drive to the external Drive.
    3) Disconnect the external Hard Drive
    4) Disconnect the computer and install the new hard drive
    5) Reconnect the external Hard Drive and Run "Super Duper" and transfer the information back to the new hard drive.
    6) Run Disc Utility and fix any errors.
    7) "Erase" the contents from the external Hard Drive
    8) Done!
    Method #2 (Using Migrate Assistant)
    1) Use the mac G4 discs and select the "External Hard Drive" and Install the OS from the install disc directly to the "External Hard Drive".
    2) Then use my Panther discs and select the "External Hard Drive" and install Panther to the "External Hard Drive".
    3) Go into "Preferences" and select "External Hard Drive" as my "Startup Disc" so it will "boot" to the "External Hard Drive".
    4) Use "Migrate Assistant" to migrate or transfer only software applications (Photoshop. Mail, Address Book etc.) from the "old" hard drive to the "External Hard Drive".
    5) Disconnect the external Hard Drive
    6) Disconnect the computer and install the new hard drive
    7) Reconnect the external Hard Drive and Run "Super Duper" and transfer the information back to the new hard drive.
    8) no need to run Disc utility as it's like a clean install.
    9) "Erase" the contents from the external Hard Drive
    10) Done!
    Please tell me if I have missed a step or if a step is incorrect in the above 2 methods.
    Q) I can't find my G4 install discs, can I use my Panther install discs instead?
    Q) Does "Migrate Assistant" come with Panther or does it only come with the mac install discs?
    Q) Will "Migrate Assistant" copy over my "Mail" application and it's setting or do I need to totally reinstall that?
    Q) How long does "Migrate Assistant" take to transfer vs.. Super Duper?

  • Problem in Bridge with Moving Files

    Help! Am using CS5 and Windows 7. Whenever I drag or use the Move command in Bridge to move a file from one folder to another I get the most feared message "Adobe Bridge has stopped working. A problem caused the program to stop working. Windows will close ...you know the rest". I should also say the files are in fact moved, and I am able to relaunch Bridge immediately. Thanks for any direction. Jim.

    Thank you for your continued help Curt. Yes my hard drive is only 30% used. Tried Ctrl when I opened Bridge. Fixed the problem. Can you please tell me why though so I can avoid asking questions like this which use up valuable time like yours, even though I know I am asking you to use up more of your time now! Thanks, Jim.

  • Help with moving files

    I'm having problems copying data across my network to my new mac mini and i'm looking for some help with how to resolve this issue.
    I'm using "Connect to Server' to connect via SMB to a Vista x64 machine that has the files I need to copy. I'm mounting the share as the user that has permissions to the files on the vista client. The connection is fine, but when I start the copy process, I receive an error message about not having the appropriate permissions to copy files and then the entire copy process fails. Here is the exact error message:
    Copy
    The operation cannot be completed because you do not have sufficient privileges for some of the items.
    OK
    From the vista machine I have logged in as the same user and I have taken ownership of ALL of the files and folders I'm trying to copy. I also made sure that the folder is shared with EVERYONE having full access (not something I would normally do, but figured it might help this situation). The vista machine is in a workgroup if that makes a difference.
    Question 1: how can I do this via command line so that instead of stopping the entire file copy it skips the ones it can't copy and copies the rest of them?
    With hundreds of subfolders and thousands of files, I have no idea which ones it is failing to copy making this process quite painful.
    I'm also stuck on another basic issue - when I originally connected to the share, I told the OSX machine to remember the password. If I want to reconnect to the share using a different username and different password, how do I get OSX to reprompt me for this information?
    Help

    You are probably better off using
    ditto
    In a terminal
    man ditto
    and read the description and instructions.
    Yes, sadly, many copy process when the fail at a file abort the rest of the process. Windows does this as well.

  • Inventory list with moving average price

    Hi all,
                 How do I get the list of inventory stock using the valuation method as MOVING AVERAGE.
    Iam able to get the list using last purchase price, But how do I get it using Moving average Price.
    Thanks in advance.

    Moving average price for item might be different by each warehouse.  Inventory Valuation Report can be used to get the whole picture for any single item by moving average price.
    If you want to get more items, you can try this query to see:
    SELECT T0.ItemCode, T1.ItemName, T0.WhsCode, T0.OnHand, T0.AvgPrice, (T0.OnHand * T0.AvgPrice) AS 'Amount'
    FROM dbo.OITW T0 INNER JOIN dbo.OITM T1 ON T0.ItemCode = T1.ItemCode WHERE T0.OnHand > 0

  • Getting new Hard Disk. Need help with moving files from old one.

    Hey guys so here is my dilema. So I have a Lacie 500GB Hard Drive and made the mistake of accidently deleting all my backups.db into the trash but thankfully never emptied that. There was no way to put it back into the backups folder so it caused me a lot of distress. I have decided to grab a portable hard disk instead such as the Western Digital. Heres my thought. I really only want to transfer a few things from the Lacie such as photos, movies, and a few documents from all the backup dates but nothing else. Is there a way to maybe automate so that certain files will transfer over instead of it all?
    Thanks in advance!
    On a sidenote, if you have any suggestions for portable, small, lightweight, yet large capacity (at least 1TB) portable hard drives let me know!

    Lacie is a Seagate drive
    To move specific files, open the backup database (time machine, backups.db). When you open Time Machine and select a date to restore from, you should see a Finder like view of that particular backup.  Navigate through the backup the same way as you would through the Finder and choose the folder or files you wish to restore.
