Recommended 3rd party transfer program

I did recently look through a few of the older topics, but was a little lost as to which program I should choose, as there's so many.
So I'm going to be purchasing a laptop within the week and I need a way to transfer my music on my ipod to itunes (on the laptop). I'm familiar with the manual procedure of locating the hidden files and copying them, but I'm concerned about keeping my play-counts and the such. I've been rifling through a good deal of these third party programs, but some seem a little shifty and complicated. Any real recommended programs that anyone has used succesfully? Thanks in advance.

You might consider instead purchasing an external hard drive (they are pretty cheap right now), copying your iTunes folder to that drive, installing iTunes on the new laptop and then copying the iTunes folder from the external hard drive to the laptop.
This will preserve everything you have and the bonus is you will now be able to easily back up your library in the future.

Hi there,
There are plenty of programs that do this but the only one that is able to completely build your iTunes library from your iPod is CopyTrans http://www.copytrans.net
This tool does not only handle your songs like others do but also your playlists, ratings, play count, album artworks, videos, and podcasts (incl. subscriptions) etc and imports all that to iTunes in the right order and categories.

Thanks.

Will upgrading on to OS X Mavericks (from Snow Leopard 10.6.8) affect the running of the installed 3rd party softwares/programs?

I have just received an email encouraging me to upgrading on to OS X Mavericks (from Snow Leopard 10.6.8). Currently I do have in my computer several 3rd party software and programs (from Adobestuff, finalcut Pro, MS Office, ILife etc.
Will upgrading to OS X Mavericks affect the running of these software /programs? Will I need to also upgrade these softwares?

There may be issues with compatibilty, as with any OS upgrade. Snow leopard (10.6.N) includes a piece of software from Apple called Rosetta. This software allows older PowerPC applications to run on Intel based Macs. This software does not run on any OS X higher than the latest Snow Leopard, 10.6.8. You can see if you have any of programs that require Rosetta installed by bringing up the "System Information" application through spotlight (click on the magnifying glass icon on the upper right, type System Information in the search field and select the application thta is found).
Once in System Information select "Applications" under "Software" near the bottom of the list. Scroll through the list of applications and if any indicate that they are PowerPC based then they will not run under Lion, Mountain Lion or Mavericks.
Hope this helps.

3rd Party Drivers - Program installation stalled

I'm trying to install an embroidery program (Bernina) in XP on a macbook pro with boot camp, but somewhere down the process the installation always hangs with a small box generated by installer that says 'Installing 3rd Party drivers'. After this the install program is using 0% CPU indefinitely and only 'End Task' will shut it down. Using Boot Camp 2.1.
The program successfully installed on on Dell laptop, and for a while I thought the problem was SP3 being installed with XP. Uninstalling SP3 resulted in no change in install outcome, and did cause some other broken programs.
The program has a USB security key for authentication, but we can't even get that far.
Any & all suggestions would be welcome. Thanks

Recommend 3rd party viewer?

I'd like to be able to view selected photos, which are not adjacent to one another in iPhoto, as large as I like, and switch rapidly from one to another. iPhoto doesn't do this very well.
I can export them, open them separately in Preview, and that works pretty well.
Is there another 3rd party app that might do this more easily?

iPhoto offers a couple methods. Select the photos, then hit the full screen button, and it will show all selected photos as large as possible.
You could also use a smart album to flip through non-adjacent photos, and shortcuts for keywords to quickly create temporary albums.
Otherwise, setting up an external editor in Preferences is probably easier than exporting. You can set up an external editor, then re-set Prefs to edit in iPhoto, which will let you right-click and choose "Edit in External Editor" when desired. I think you can select a few photos at a time to send to the external editor, but there is a limit, and it may be as low as 4.

Printing in Iphoto 6 Vs. 3rd Party Printing Program?

Why is printing in Iphoto 6 seem to degrade or print out a picture worse than when you use Canon's Easy Photo or Photoshop? The pictures come out darker and not as true as when you use the other programs. It would be convenient to use just Iphoto for everything. Any suggestions or help?
Lenny R.

Lenny:
Welcome to the Apple Discussions. A lot has to do with color profiles and how iPhoto handles them. Canon's software probably uses the canon I've not gotten a handle on that either and use Photoshop from within iPhoto to do my most of my printing. I have PS set up to use the sRGB color profile as that's what is used by Apple for books, calendars, etc. iPhoto may or may not use the profile depending on how you have the preferences set up (Advanced section of iPhoto's preferences). As I said, since I do most everything via PS I just print from it also.

CMYK to RGB conversion without 3rd party software?

Does anyone know a way to use Automator to convert CMYK color mode images to RGB without having to have Photoshop or such installed? All Automator add ons I have seen thus far involve either Adobe products or other 3rd party image programs.
Thanks!

Hello again Ric,
Thanks for your help. I would appreciate a bit of Applescript help. I have Automator back in the mix after playing around a bit.
Yes, my associate who owns the website has neither PS, or GC. So if we can set up a way to automate this via email that would be great. I think I am actually about half way there, and I hope you will be kind enough to help me get the rest of the way.
My machine is no longer the spunkiest, so I am using GC to do the color mode conversion, as it can launch, convert, and save the file in less than 1/4 the time Photoshop takes to launch. So yes, I'm doing this in a crazy fashion, but I have good reasons.
This is my script thus far:
using terms from application "Mail"
on perform mail action with messages theMessages for rule theRule
tell application "Mail"
set numberOfMessages to count theMessages
repeat with eachMessage in theMessages
set theSubject to subject of eachMessage
try
set nameOfAttachment to the name of the first mail attachment of eachMessage
(*if nameOfAttachment ends with ".torrent" then*)
set filename to "Macintosh HD:Users:parr:Desktop:Alpha Images:•From Brett:" & nameOfAttachment
save first mail attachment of eachMessage in filename
tell application "GraphicConverter"
activate
open {alias filename}
save window 1
close window 1
quit
end tell
tell application "Automator"
execute "Alpha Convert"
end tell
end try
end repeat
end tell
end perform mail action with messages
end using terms from
This works up until I call my Automator workflow. In my workflow I currently have the scale item and the convert to jpeg item.
Question 1: How do we tell Automator what files to use as an input? Do I have to add a Get Selected or Get Specified Finder Items? Can I use the 'filename' variable from the above script?
Once I have that down, any advice you can give on emailing it back would be great.
Thanks again.

3rd Party Software for Charting

Can anyone recommend 3rd Party Software for Charting (pie chart, bar chart etc)
I have tried to use the Cold Fusion charts <CFCHART> etc..... but they just dont create professional looking charts.
I bought Fusion Charts.
It worked great for a while.
But the charts dont render on IPADS and now they have printing issues.
So now I have decided to start anew.
I want charting software that outputs to professional looking JPG, GIF or PNG images (NO FLASH!!)
Does anyone have any suggestions for 3rd Party Software for Charting that integrates well with my existing cold fusion pages?

in case you already didn't know, you can go a long way by tweaking the
webcharts3D bits that cf uses for cfchart. look under your cf install for the
cfusion\charting dir. there should be a batch file to start the editor & a user
guide PDF. there's even an eclipse plugin:
http://www.gpoint.com/website/WebCharts50/products/eclipse.jsp
for tricks & tips have a search through ray's blog:
http://www.coldfusionjedi.com/
*Does anyone have any suggestions for 3rd Party Software for Charting that

we have more "sciencey" needs for our charting than cfchart can easily provide &
use jfreechart for most of our apps' graphing.

though to get the most of this lib you probably need to cough up $65 US for the
"developer guide".

Is it possible to rip itouch to pc? If not what 3rd party program would you recomend?

My pc crashed and i lost my music libary. now i have all music still on my itouch but not sure if i can rip off it. so if theres a 3rd party program that can do this what one would you use?

To copy the settings and data to your new iTunes library try this:
Make sure your computer is still authorized in iTunes. Disable autosync in iTunes, connect your iPod, right click on it in the device list and choose backup.
This will save data, pictures and settings to itunes. See what's included in this backup here: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4946
Transfer your purchases the same way to copy all apps and bought media from the Store to your computer.
Set up at least one contact and event on your computer to be able the merge your calendars and contacts after your iPod got wiped during the first sync.
The rest of the data can be restored from the backup you made.
Restoring: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1414
Music is one way only, from the computer to your device, unless you bought the songs in iTunes and transferred your purchases.
There is 3rd party software out there, but not supported by Apple, see this thread: http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=2013615&tstart=0
