Reinstall and keeping library file frustrations!

Hi,
Due to a new motherboard, I recently had to reinstall ITunes and want my old library back.
I have followed the instrauctions in this post:
http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=1284608&#1284608
However, on opening iTunes the library is missing.
I have backed up my old library and seem to have several library files for some reason. I put them all back as they were.
When you reinstall I Tunes, I did not let it scan my computer for music as I thought that I just had to replace these files. Is that the case? What settings should you use during the reinstall?
Many thanks in advance.

All sorted - posted the libray file in the wrong folder!

The password is set on the WiFi router providing the service, by the owner of the network to prevent unwanted "guests" accessing the network. The only way to know it is to ask the owner permission to use the network. Otherwise, you have to find a free WiFi hotspot that doesn't require a password.

Boot to the recovery disk and reinstall the os. That said you do have a back up just in case (I trust)?

.xml file and iTunes library files are missing from the music folder

I recently made a second itunes library on my external hd, today when I open itunes and choose this library, the .xml file and itunes music file are invisible or translucent, therefore I can't open my library. But when I go to my music folder they are missing. Another odd thing is that all my music is still in the folder. Is there a way to re-open my library w/o re-importing all my music? Can I some how get a new itunes library file?
Mac OS X (10.4.10)

This is not an answer but I have the same problem. From time to time I clone my music drive to an external drive for back up. When I do, I burn a copy of the album artwork folder, iTunes Music folder, iTunes Library.itl, iTunes Music Libraru.xml, and iTunes Library file to CDRW. This is so I can copy them into the music folder in my user home drive of my laptop then hook up the external and have access my library. Trouble is the .xml file and iTunes library files don't always show up when I go to the iTunes folder in my Music folder. There either is a blank where they should be or the names appear with no icon and when I click to select, that dissappers too. I thought I had a solve by exiting iTunes and letting it save everything. It seems to bring the .xml file back but not the itunes Library file. Any thoughts?

Iphoto and aperture library file folder problem

Hi all,
I have a problem.
I want to have aperture and iphoto folders organized as itunes files fiolder. is possible?
I see in my aperure library that master folder (I have selected the option copy files in library) there are many and many date folder (many of them are empty) and I don't like this method of organization.
if I don't check the option to copy files and keep my database with only thumb, I have the problem that if I modify or delete a photo the original remain untouched.
please there are solutions?

"(where?)"
Where you specify. Please see section 6 on this page (the User Manual is slightly out-of-date -- substitute "Original" for "Master"):
Choose a location for the imported files by doing one of the following:
To store imported masters in the Aperture library: Choose “In the Aperture Library” from the Store Files pop-up menu.
To store imported masters as referenced image files, audio files, or video files in their current location: Choose “In their current location” from the Store Files pop-up menu.
To store imported masters as referenced image files, audio files, or video files in the Pictures folder on your hard disk: Choose Pictures from the Store Files pop-up menu, and then choose whether you want the files moved or copied to the Pictures folder by clicking the “Move files” or “Copy files” button.
To store imported masters as referenced image files, audio files, or video files in a location other than the Pictures folder: Choose “Choose” from the Store Files pop-up menu and select a folder. In the dialog that appears, choose a location to store the imported masters, then click Open. Choose Project Name from the Subfolders pop-up menu to specify that the files be stored in a folder with the same name as the project. Choose whether you want the image files moved or copied to the new location by clicking the “Move files” or “Copy files” button.
" (are you sure? I don't find this option)"
I'm pretty sure. From
Deleting Images from the Browser
If you delete the last version in a version stack, Aperture asks whether you want to delete the master. If you confirm that you want to delete the master, the master is moved to the Aperture Trash.
When an image is represented in the Browser by a single version, you can select the version and delete it, and the corresponding master is deleted as well.
When you empty the Aperture Trash you should get a dialog box similar to this one. Note the field with the check box:

Windows 7 and iTunes library file

Is there any fix to this issue with iTunes not being able to save the library file? I've followed the numerous, supposed fixes to this but have been unsuccessful. Any new updates?

Yes I do use ESET. So am I just excluding the itunes program directory and the music folder?
If you're using NOD32 version 3.0 or higher, yes I believe so.
Sorry to be a bit tentative about that, but the bulk of my troubleshooting ESET/iTunes happened about a year ago, when the primary issues were with versions 2.6 and 2.7 causing trouble with iTunes 7.6 and 7.7 (typically, hanging/crashing when quitting itunes back in those days) ... I haven't quite got the best of feels for the newer ESET/iTunes interactions yet.

I want rsync only download new files and keep old files

I install Arch i686 in home and in home I do not have internet connection , so at work I download all packages I need with this command
rsync -avrt --bwlimit=58 rsync://mirror.datacenter.by/arch//extra/os/any/ /home/ddd/i686/
and move them to home and then copy them to
/var/cache/pacman/arch
and install packages with pacman
after two days , I run this command
rsync -avrt --bwlimit=58 rsync://mirror.datacenter.by/arch//extra/os/any/ /home/ddd/i686/
and I see rsync get last packages again and use many Bandwidth
how I tell rsync only download new files and keep old files

rsync manpage says the following:
-u, --update skip files that are newer on the receiver
--inplace update destination files in-place
--append append data onto shorter files
--append-verify --append w/old data in file checksum
I guess you need to add -u flag.
Reading manpages is the highest virtue in GNU/Linux.

Adobe please help, it´s not the first problem installing updates in CC, i we pay for it !!!

I have my iTunes Library on and external hard drive. I have a new computer and want to use iTunes and KEEP my files on the external drive.

My iTunes library is on an external hard drive, and I was able to access / add to the library from my windows laptop.
I now have a new laptop, and want to be able to KEEP the library on the external drive while being able to use iTunes from the new laptop.
I have selected "choose library" in iTunes, and have chosen the iTunes Library.itl file on the external drive.
My media populates in iTunes on the new laptop version of iTunes, but when I click on a song iTunes says that it cannot locate the song.
Your help is kindly appreciated!

Thanks. Were the settings shown in your last screenshot in force when you added the song that's shown on being on the C: drive? It is also possible that at some point you ran iTunes with the external drive disconnected, in which case it will have defaulted to the library on the C: drive, or that you've run iTunes without explicitly selecting the library on the E: drive. To make sure the latter is the case, hold down SHIFT while starting iTunes, then when you get this prompt:
click on Choose Library..., navigate to the location of your current iTunes Library.itl file, and click Open.
Part of your issue may that its not obvious where that current database file is located. The folder layout on your E: drive isn't the one that's most easily managed - so its possible that the database file could be in:
E:\xxxx\Files\iTunes
E:\xxxx\Files\iTunes\iTunes
E:\xxxx\Files\iTunes\iTunes 1
I suggest that a lot of your issues can be addressed by reshaping your library into the reliable "portable" layout as described in tt2's Make a split library portable user tip. Comparing your screenshot with the equivalent on my system (where I have a "well-formed" library on an external drive):
where:
there is just one iTunes folder with everything used by iTunes inside it
all media is held within subfolders of the iTunes Media folder
The way you have yours set up, where the iTunes Media Folder location is set to E:\xxxx\Files\iTunes rather than E:\xxxx\Files\iTunes\iTunes Media is probably why some of your media is not being located correctly - the extent to which iTunes can correctly resolve locations is, to an extent, reliant on the folders for the different media kinds (Music, Audiobooks, etc.) being inside the iTunes Media media folder. One common misunderstanding (not helped at all by Apple's documentation!) is that the iTunes Media Folder location setting in Edit > Preferences > Advanced does not tell iTunes where to find anything; rather it determines where iTunes will put new additions to your Library, in conjunction with the Copy files to iTunes Media folder ... flag:
I would definitely take the time to work through the steps to bring your library into the "portable" shape - there may be few remaining issues with broken links when that's complete but this will be much easier to fix if your library is in a more standard structure.

Oracle EBS R12 - how to compile jsp and keep .java file

Hello.
When I compile the jsp file, it will create the _pagename.class file into $COMMON_TOP/_pages directory. Some of the time it also keep _pagename.java file in there.
How can force the compiler to keep the java file always. I am using following command which creates _pagename.class file.
perl $FND_TOP/patch/115/bin/ojspCompile.pl --compile -s 'ptcResponse.jsp' --flush
It keeps the _pagename.java file some of the times and not other, example if the compilation fails then java files stored there otherwise only class.
There has to be some way/location to see/keep the _pagename.java file, we need them for troubleshooting runtime error.

It keeps the _pagename.java file some of the times and not other, example if the compilation fails then java files stored there otherwise only class.
This is an expected behaviour.
There has to be some way/location to see/keep the _pagename.java file, we need them for troubleshooting runtime error.
The "perl ojspCompile.pl" command doesn't offer this -- Issue "perl ojspCompile.pl" and you will see what options are available.
Your option is to keep/save the java files in a different directory.
Thanks,
Hussein

Converting AIF to MP3 and keeping original file name?

Wondering if this is possible to do using iTunes (if not, i'm open to suggestions). Basically I have a collection of AIFF files named very specifically and I'm looking to convert them to MP3 without changing the names of the actual file (example: POS-01CutThroat.aif becomes POS-01CutThroat.mp3) but still keep all the metadata of the AIF in the MP3 (title, composers, comments etc...)
If anyone has any clue as to what i'm talking about, or even better can help me out, please let me know
Thanks!

I have two suggestions:
1. Use the Sundry Info to Comments script to add the filename to the Comment field, then use the File Renamer script to rename the files based on the comment field after you’ve ripped them. Obviously, this will only work if you don’t have other info that needs to be in that field.
2. Rip your files using Max, which gives you a lot more flexibility than iTunes in terms of how the files are named and tagged. This will also produce better sounding MP3 files, because unlike iTunes, it uses the LAME standard.
Personally, I would go with suggestion #2.

ITunes match and local library file removal?

Hey guys,
So I'm slowly running out of space on my 128gb SSD in my MBP and I have to get rid of some music files to free up space:
I've subscribed to iTunes Match and all of my music files have been synced to iCloud. Now I was wondering, can I delete my audio files locally - will they still be made available on the cloud? Has anyone done this before - have you encountered any problems?
I do have a backup of all my local audio files.
Any help is appreciated,
Thom.

iTunes Match does not provide ID3 tags from the iTunes Store, so any tracks that do not have ID3 tags now will still not have ID3 tags after they are scanned and mirrored in the cloud.
If a track cannot be "matched" then it is "uploaded." To tell the difference enable the iCloud Status column in the iTunes browser by swtching to Song view and pulling down View > View Options and selecting "iCloud Status" then closing the small window.
You may delete any tracks you choose from the library and the cloud at any time.

I have had my laptop for about 5 or 6 yrs. I have had iTunes on it since I have had it. All of sudden my iTunes has stopped working. I am receiving an Error 6034 message. What has happened? I uninstalled it and tried to reinstall but did not help. I am still getting the message. I am not having any problems with it on any of my other devices. Thanks for any help that anyone can give me. mproffitt

"iTunes Musik Library.xml" and "iTunes Library" Files are gone...

On the Macbook of my brother these files are totally missing. Can´t even find them with Spotlight.
he has an "iTunes Music"-folder where his Albums are store in.
iTunes is still running but many Songs have lost their link.
He has an amount of songs with the same name "Titel 01, Titel 02..." so it´s very hard to repair the links.

You would need to download iTunes on comp and download purchases again (you don't have to pay again) and upload your CDs again IF you sync your iPad to your computer it will erase everything

How can I convert files in Aperture to jpegs and keep the file large

I want to upload files into istock photo and they must be as big as possible but in jpg format. I end up exporting tiny little things going from 8mb to 300kb. How can I do it? I even tried going into CS3 but that only allowed me to convert to tif. I would appreciate any help - especially if it is simple!

Go to File >> Export >> Export Version(s)
In the resulting dialog box you'll find a drop down called Export Preset with a list of presets. One of them is JPEG Original Size. That should do it for you.
Also you can choose Edit at the bottom of the preset list and modify an existing preset or create a new custom preset.
BTW: the reason you couldn't do it in Photoshop is that you need to convert it from 16bit to 8bit before you can save a JPEG. That command in Photoshop is under Image>>Mode.
