Ripping from multiple cd drives

When I was last using itunes it was ripping 2 cds at once, now when i try to import a load of cds it will not do this. I have tried changing the ripping format but this has made no difference. Anyone know why one dya its rips from 2 locations and today only 1?
thanks

Make sure the NAS is online and ready before RIPping a CD.

  • Getting data from multiple hard drives onto one drive

    So here's the problem: I have a Quicksilver 867 I want to upgrade, it came with no HD so I want a new one, I put my old strawberry imac's HD into it because I still have a use for all the programs on it (i.e. photoshop) and I wanted to take advantage of the QS' hardware (superdrive), also I know my department is getting rid of their old G4 and that computer has some programs I would rather see being used than being erased, so is there a way to copy all the information from those two drives onto a new drive and still have those programs working good? I've read about HD copying software but am still hazy on how it will handle individual programs? If I have to copy the whole drive, would there be a problem with multiple system folders being on the new HD? I don't have much experience with this sort of thing, so I hope I'm describing the situation well enough.
    I plan to buy Tiger and install it on the new HD and the old drives are running os 9.1 and 9.2 just to let you all know. If anyone can give me some advice I would be most grateful.
    thanks,
    nick

    Having multiple system folders on the same volume is a problem waiting to happen. The safest way to have trouble-free programs is to use the original installer CDs to load the software, so that all components (both visible and invisible) are written to their designated locations on the hard drive. Copying programs from another hard drive without ownership of the media is software piracy. If your employer doesn't use the programs on the soon-to-be discarded G4, why not ask if you can have or purchase the installer CDs?

  • What is the Best way to consolidate projects from multiple hard drives?

    I am working on my first tv show. My team and I have been editing various clips on multiple hard drives. What is the best way to put all these different projects into one timeline while still maintaining the ability to edit individual "tracks"?
    xmls?
    omfs?

  • Combining I-Tunes from multiple drives.

    I have recently decided to rip all of my 3000+ cd-s and run all of my music from a central drive.
    I have spent the last 6 weeks patiently ripping cd's in my spare time. I have found that I-tunes has a few problems.
    1. Randomly saves music to unassigned drives. After spending an evening ripping about 200 cd's... I later found out that i-tunes ripped all cd's with an artist that starts with "B" to a completely different drive. All other CD's ripped to the appropriate location that evening.
    2. Consolidating does not necessarily "consolidate" to a drive. I have attempted to consolidate my i-tunes library several times, and thus far it has NEVER copied all music to a single location. I discovered this issues after trashing one of my I-Tunes drives after a consolidation and finding that about 18 GB of "consolidated" tracks would have to be re-ripped...
    3. There is no way to easily combine multiple I-Tunes libraries. I have to tried to combine multiple I-Tunes libraries into one and despite the fact that I-tunes is not supposed to create duplicates - It ALWAYS does. I have spent countless hours manually removing dupes from my library whenever I try to add new tracks from an old library location.
    4. Dupe removers don't work....
    Why is this so difficult? sigh....

    So the saga continues...
    3000, CD's ripped to central storage. took almost 2 months... and still have a few serious issues to deal with, but for the most part the project is 90% done.
    Now Itunes will not continuously play... I'll select a album and the first 2-3 songs will play fine... then all audio will stop. I-tunes shows the track still playing but no audio is passed through the local machine, or the networked machines. If I stop playback and restart the song, audio plays fine, for another 2-3 songs and then the same thing happens. Audio stops, even tho the track continues to play in the itunes window. Has anyone else experienced this? I have latest updates of itunes.
    Don't get me started on the drop outs with my airport expresses... The guy at the mac store assured me if I bought a base station that would cure that problem... uh huh... surrrrrrre.... Well at least I could live with drop outs if at least more than 3 songs would play in a row... thinking about porting my collection over to a pc and going back to windows media player... yuck....

  • Can I put an aperture library on a network drive and edit from multiple computers?

    I have an Imac desktop and a macbook pro.  I want to be able to edit pictures from multiple computers.  If I simply put the aperture library on a network server drive in my home, can I edit the same aperture library from both the Imac and the macbook? Rather than always having to sit in my office making changes to files I would love to also be able to do this with my laptop sitting ont the couch or in the kitchen.  Any advice is greatly appreciated. 

    Get yourself a small portable external drive for your Aperture library.
    An Aperture library needs to be on directly connected drive formatted MacOS Extended (Journaled). network access is not supported and can lead to data loss and library corruption.
    See Apple's support document:  Use locally mounted Mac OS X Extended volumes for your Aperture library

  • Time Machine backup FROM multiple drives?

    I'm in the process of choosing a new MacPro, someone on these forums recommended Digilloyd's Mac Performance Guide as a good place to get help setting up a new mac for speed. The simplified version of what he advocates is replacing the stock internal drive with an SSD drive, on which you put the OS, apps & home folder. He then recommends creating a 0-raid stripe from 3 other drives to separate & hold your data, then using the forth internal bay drive (or another 0-raid stripe of the leftover, slower portions of various partitions of the drives) for Time Machine.
    My question is, can Time Machine backup both drives (boot & data raid-0) or would I have to choose one of them?
    +The more I read, the more confused I get+.

    OK, I've scanned through the various articles. My thoughts are still essentially the same, and that is just how effective the entire system is when using multiple partitions from several drives to combine into multiple RAIDs. In reality this is not speed effective if the RAIDs need to be accessed concurrently. A read/write head can only be in one place at a time meaning that when one partition on the drive is being accessed, the OS cannot concurrently access another partition on the same drive.
    Essentially this is how I understand the configuration at a simplistic level. Let's suppose we have two hard drives that we'll call Drive A and Drive B. Each drive is partitioned into two equally sized volumes that we'll refer to as follows:
    ....................... *Drive A* ......................... *Drive B* ......
    Volume................. 1 ..................................... 3 ............
    Volume................. 2 ..................................... 4 ............
    Now, we will make two RAID arrays. RAID A uses Volume 1 and Volume 3, and RAID B uses Volume 2 and Volume 4.
    Suppose you want to copy data from RAID A to RAID B. In order to do this the OS must first copy data from RAID A before it can write the data to RAID B. However, if RAID A was created using two separate drives (say, Drive A and Drive B,) and RAID B was created using two separate drives (say, Drive C and Drive D,) then the OS can copy from RAID A while concurrently writing to RAID B. This is physically possible because two read/write heads are involved instead of one. Theoretically the second construct is going to be much faster than the first construct.
    My second observation is with regard to the reliance on external storage. A 2nd or 3rd generation Mac Pro's SATA bus is capable of a data interface rate of 3.0 Gb/sec. Firewire 800 is capable of 800 Mb/sec. The MP's internal SATA bus can support data transfer rates nearly four times that of Firewire. A modern hard drive is capable of saturating the Firewire bus, but not the internal SATA bus. The higher interface rate of the SATA bus means it's much better suited for truly fast RAID arrays. This is not the case for the Firewire bus.
    External Firewire arrays are better suited for storage that does not require frequent or fast access.
    Now with all this said it makes more sense to fully understand what your overall storage needs are then consider suitable designs. One need not rely on complicated RAID arrays if they aren't required. The focus should be on data access, data storage, and backup needs.
    Although it's nice being able to brag at the cocktail party about having a fast SSD for your boot drive, let's consider how often you even need to boot the computer. I put my computers to sleep when they aren't in use. I never boot the computer unless a software update requires it or the computer has crashed completely. I haven't had the latter occur very often - mainly when I'm experimenting. Literally days, weeks, or months may go by before I reboot the computer. So a fast SSD boot drive would be for me a hugh waste of money.
    My 1st generation Mac Pro is set up for my needs. It has four 500 GB fast Hitachi enterprise level hard drives. I use enterprise level drives that cost more because the computer is always on, so I want drives that will be reliably working. I used to have four Maxtor 300 GB drives that lasted for four years before I replace them with the Hitachis. My setup has one drive partitioned into a startup volume and a Boot Camp volume. One drive is my 'scratch' drive used for different OS system versions and/or seed testing. Two drives are configured as a mirrored RAID and used as the primary backup for the boot volume. The boot volume is 450 GBs and the Windows volume is 50 GBs. There's no backup for the Windows volume at the present time. Backups are usually done in the late afternoon using a backup utility. Presently that utility is Synk Standard, but I've also used Synchronize! Pro X and Carbon Copy Cloner. Backups are done on a fixed schedule in the background so they are virtually transparent to me. I use a mirrored RAID for backup to provide redundancy. If one backup drive fails hopefully the other will still be usable to protect the backup. I also have one external Firewire drive that contains a clone of the startup volume. The clone is updated monthly by incremental backup. It's for security in the worst case scenario that both drives in the mirrored RAID were to fail simultaneously.
    Now, my need for frequent and fast access to data such as might be needed for streaming music or video is non-existent, so my configuration is one that is well-suited to my needs. You'll note that it's both simple and practical while providing data backup that's doubly secure.

    No, Lightroom catalogs cannot be on a networked (shared) drive, and they do not support simultaneous multi-user access

  • How do I have catalog on an external drive and update tags from multiple computers?

    I have catalog on an external drive but the tags are on the computer. Is there any way that tags can be placed on the external drive so that other computers can access and update?

    In case its just the tags that you want to have in one catalog that is easy.From multiple computers save the tags to the xml file.Copy the xml file to the external drive where the catalog resides.From there you can import the tags into the catalog.
    Command for exporting tags ->Save tags to file in the tags panel of the application
    Command for importing tags->From file

  • Import 800K photos (many duplicates) into Aperture from multiple folders in one hard drive.

    I have a hard drive with 800,000+ photos in it, many are duplicates after I have made multiple back-ups to different drives over the years and then transferred all the photos to this new drive. The photos are located in different folders but are all in the same hard-drive. How do a import the photos in the easiest/fastest way? How will they get sorted, by date? Is there anyway that I could delete the duplicates without losing photos? I have many photos with the same file name (but from different cameras), tumbnails, edited photos etc.
    Very thankful for your assistance!

    Hi,
    You can import photos from multiple folders.
    Just click File >> Get Photos and Videos >> From Files and Folders
    Now select the folders you want to import photos from (they should be at same level in the directory, say all folders in My Pictures) using Ctrl+Click, tick the checkbox for 'Get Photos from subfolders' if not already checked and then click 'Get Media'.
    Hope that will help
    Thanks

  • My hard drive crashed and i lost all my rippped cd songs from the hard drive. Luckily they are all in icloud but how do i get ripped music from icloud to redownload back to the PC all in one go???

    My hard drive crashed and i lost all my rippped cd songs from the hard drive. Luckily they are all in icloud but how do i get ripped music from icloud to redownload back to the PC all in one go???

    Hi,
    The simplest solution would to restore from your back up - https://discussions.apple.com/docs/DOC-4112
    If you do not have a back, you can select first track on list in song view, from menu > edit > select all. Next ctrl+click and select download from pop up. You may wish to do this in small batches as it will take some time to download.

    iTunes: How to move [or copy] your music to a new computer [or another drive] - http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4527
    Quick answer if you let iTunes manage your music:  Copy the entire iTunes folder (and in doing so all its subfolders and files) intact to the other drive.  Start iTunes with the option (shift on Windows) key held down and guide it to the new location of the library.

  • ITunes Match deleted songs from my hard drive. I had to re-rip them. How can I stop this from happening?

    iTunes Match deleted songs from my hard drive. How can I prevent this from happening if I try it again?

    iTunes Match can in no way be considered a backup service, this is due to the inexact nature of the 'matching process' (see https://discussions.apple.com/docs/DOC-4112, for more detail).
    Loss of files from a Disk is certainly possible through media failure.  However, the extent of iTunes Match capacity is solely to influence the content of the cloud.  Perhaps there was a coincident, or pre-existing, failure of the disk which was simply exposed by the iTunes Match interrogation of the disk content.
    There are certainly other services which depending upon your goal may work well.  For example, Google Play with gBeats IOS App works very well.  My use of Match is to synchronise across several computers and to drive Apple TV and an IOS device - other IOS devices still use sync for specific music and are complimented by gBeats for access to the full library when local mobile signal strength is high.
    The strong advice to always start with a secure backup remains but if your primary concern is iTunes Match interfering with physical disk content you can relax - it simply does not have this ability.  (Apology to Sherlock, further investigation required).

  • How to use multiple tape drive from single client when I want to backup single filesystem?

    Hello All.
    I want to backup 1 filesystem using 4 tape drives for reducing backup time.
    In case of symantec veritas netbackup, they can user "NEW_STREAM" for multi-streaming backup.
    Please anybody let me know that how to do use multiple tape drive for single client.
    1. Backup Source server : Linux (1 client)
    2. Backup Soucre :      /data1  (500GB)
        -> Current directory structure doesn't have sub directory under /data1, just files present under /data1
    If direcotry struceture has a sub-direcotry like( /data1/aaa, /data1/bbb ), Is it availble to use multiple tape drives?
    3. Tape Drive with OSB : LTO6 * 4 drives
    Thank you.

    You would have to create a different dataset for each sub-folder. If you only have files at the top level folder then even the NEW_STREAM option couldn't be used to split the job.
    Organise it into folders and then create datasets in a client folder such as :
    /usr/local/oracle/backup/admin/config/dataset/Linux/data1_aaa
    /usr/local/oracle/backup/admin/config/dataset/Linux/data1_bbb
    Then in the schedule you just specify the Linux folder. In each dataset you list the hostname and the folder name, such as :
    include host Linux
    include path /data1/aaa
    Now it will create a new job for each dataset and therefore each folder.
    Thanks

  • HT4889 Transfer files from a hard drive to a new mac?

    Currently, I have a 2012 Macbook pro. I love it, but its kinda slow for me. When I bought my Mac, I didn't realize how much I would use it, so I bought the cheapest 15 inch in from 2012 (2.3GHz 4GB RAM 500GB HD) Now, I'm upgrading to a 15inch Retina Macbook Pro with 2.0 GHz 8GB RAM and a 512Gb HD. A local electronics store said that they will buy my mac for $950 from me, and I said yes. Then, I hooked up a 1TB Hard Drive and let time machine work it's magic.
    When I go to buy my new mac, what will I need to do to transfer all of the files from the hard drive?
    Also, I have over 150 movies in iTunes that are ripped dvds and 2000 songs from CDs, and I added info and artwork for all of them. Will they all still be formatted with artwork and info when I import them into iTunes on a new mac?
    Lastly, will I see a huge power boost in the retina Macbook pro with 8gb RAM and a 2.0GHz processor? or should I save up some more money for the 16GB RAM and 2.3GHz Processor? I'm going to college in a year, so I do tons of email/safari-ing, word processing, itunes playing, and downloading, usually at the same time. A usual day for me consists of writing a document in pages or microsoft word, while listning to music from iTunes, with safari open with multiple tabs, and something downloading to my mac. Thank you for the help, it's tremendously appriciated. 

    When you first start up the new Mac you will be asked to enter personal information, etc. At some point you will be asked if you want to transfer files from another source, including Time Machine back up. Make sure your back is connected, and just follow the directions on the screen.
    All formatting etc. will be intact, since TM makes sure it is.
    As for perfomance, the biggest performance boost would be a solid state drive. Have you looked at that option?
    And one of the more prevalent reasons for perfomance hit is an over-stuffed start up drive. Mac OS X needs empty space on the start up disk to do its tasks, make sure you give it enough. Take a look at this: http://macs.about.com/od/faq1/f/How-Much-Free-Drive-Space-Do-I-Need.htm

    How do I get files from multiple DVDs that are using thesame file names? Message says "file already exists in catalog"

    I am viewing your question from different perspective, that is, the issue that you face when you are ripping VOBs from a second DVD-VIDEO on DVD disc using Premiere Elements,
    It is best to give the Premiere Elements version and computer operating system that it is running on. In the absence of that, I will generalize.
    Assuming that you are using
    Premiere Elements 12
    Add Media
    "DVD Camera or Computer Drive"
    Video Importer
    Typically the Video Importer Save In: is C:\Users\Owner\Videos
    Each of your DVD discs is going to have the same names for the ripped VOBs (VTS_01_1.VOB and so on depending on the duration of the movie). Consequently, after the ripping of the first DVD's VOBs and their save to Videos, you will end up with that "files already existing..." block for the ripping of the VOBs from the second DVD.
    The answer is, for each DVD disc VOB ripping, to plan ahead and create and set for different folders in Videos in the Save In field of the Video Importer.
    Please review and then let us know if that works for you. Please do not hesitate to ask if you need clarification on anything that I have written.
    Thank you.
