SIMPLE QUESTION - HARD TO ANSWER?`

I have an iPod Nano. Very very cool little media unit.
I have itunes on my iMac.
I have a playlist I've been building for my angelic wife.
I've been buying songs from itunes store that go into this list.
QUESTION:
When I plug my ipod into my imac to download the songs, I only want the songs from this playlist on my ipod. I don't want it just randomly grabbing songs from my Library like it does each time. How do i get my ipod Nano to grab just the playlist I created for my wife?
Does the ipod just go for whatever is in your Library, or can I teach it to go for songs just in this one playlist?
If you can answer this, I will give you 200 Karma points to get you out of any mess you think you got yourself in.
(here's another little question: did you know that itunes store doesn't really have all the songs that really matter? Did you know that it only has ONE Jethro Tull song? What's up with that?)
mac imac 20in. 2.1 gig   Mac OS X (10.4.5)  

With the iPod connected, go into your iTunes preferences and set it to 'Update Only Selected Playlists'.
Choose the one playlist that you want to sync.
Anything in the playlist will be copied to the iPod. Anything not in the playlist will be removed from the iPod.

RE: Jethro Tull... yes, it's a shame.
There are many artists/labels who do not have licensing deals to sell content through iTMS. I'm sure Apple would stock every song ever created if they could. We can only hope that changes someday.

  • Simple Question--hard answer?

    This should not be that hard, so I'm guessing I'm just blind. Someone emails me a stupid, funny song/ad/random mp3. I click on it. Its added to my iTunes library. Why? What makes iTunes think I want to add EVERY mp3 I double click on to my iTunes library? I don't need the file stored twice--once in my email, once in my library.
    Where is the setting to turn off this irritating behavior? Its like there is an invisible Clippy, saying, "I see you have clicked an mp3. I've gone ahead and added it to your library. You're welcome!"

    That's not what I want though--I DO want it to copy to my folder when purposefully adding to my library.
    Right now, double click = add to library.
    I want is double click to equal "play", and then, if i actually like the song I'm listening to that is say, on my desktop, to go to iTunes File|Add to Library, browse to that song and then have it add to my library, copying it to my music folder.
    My workaround is just to set Real Player as my default mp3 player, but I would rather not do that.

  • Simple Question - Need URGENT Answer!

    Would this hard disk work in a PowerBook 1400cs/113 considering that I would divide it into partitions of 8GB and use the left over space for one more partition? And is it the right kind of drive?
    Link to the drive:
    http://tinyurl.com/yboc7t

    I would say no. That looks like a desktop hard drive. The specifications say it's 1 inch tall.
    http://www.samsung.com/Products/HardDiskDrive/SpinPointVSeries/HardDiskDriveSpinPointVSeries_SV3002Hsp.htm
    You need an IDE laptop drive with a maximum height of 17mm. Also keep in mind that the mounting screws on most modern drives will be in the wrong place for your mounting tray. There is a company that sells a drive sled with the correct mouning holes for newer drives.
    http://www.insanely-great.com/features/020121.html
    You are correct about partitioning. You need partitions of less than 8.2 GB. If you're running OS 8.6 or later, you don't need to worry about this size limitation.

  • Simple question, hard solution (for me)

    Hi,
    I've made a jsp base application that works without problems
    Now I have to execute a class included in WAR file by command prompt because I want to make a scheduled batch procedure.
    I went to war directory and:
    C:\Program Files\Apache Group\Tomcat 4.1\webapps>java it.agic.interventi.ConnessioneDB -classpath Interventi.war
    Exception in thread "main" java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: it/agic/interventi/ConnessioneDBPlease, HELPPPPPP !!!!!!
    Thanks in advance
    Bye

    Yes your classpath is wrong indeed. You need to build your classpath so that it contains all the thirdparty library jars as well.
    The "java" command gives the following hint:
    -classpath <class search path of directories and zip/jar files>
                      A : separated list of directories, JAR archives,
                      and ZIP archives to search for class files.So from this I can assume that in this directory you specified as your classpath:c:\program files\apache group\tomcat 4.1that the mail jar is not present there. You must get the correct path where these jars are present, and edit your "java" command's classpath option appropriately.

    Are you using iMovie '11 or something prior to that? Something older like iMovie HD 6 even? If it's iMovie '11 you first import all your video clips into the Event Library. Then you highlight just the pieces you want by click in the Event clip itself, you get a yellow outline box that you can stretch to the size of the video clip. Then drag that whole area inside the yellow box up to the top half of the Window where the Project Browser window sits.
    Add more clips as need, add titles, transitions, still pictures, music, etc. Then go to the Share Menu and decide what you want to do with it. Send it to the Media Browser lets you make DVDs with it in iDVD. Export Movie will save it to the Desktop if you want to upload it to YouTube.

  • One SIMPLE, SIMPLE question that the answer seem to be no whre IN PLAIN ENGLISH! What do you have to do to have two of more tabs open at the same time. Just like ANY OTHER BROWSER LETS YOU DO! Ya know....so you can drag and drop things like pics etc.

    For Pete's sake. This is not rocket sience. What more details do you want. I want two tabs OPEN at the same time so I can copy from one to the other or drag and drop from one to the other.

    You can copy text and hover that selected text with the left mouse button down on another tab on the tab bar until that tab opens and drop the text in a text field in that tab. You need to make sure that that text area is visible because you can't scroll the page. You can also tear off that tab (temporarily) to a new window and resize them to see both windows. Move the tab back to the other window once you are done if you prefer that.

  • 2 very simple questions to be answered

    1-Is it possible to change the size of an applet window while the applet is running?
    2-Would you expect to be able to read a file called "MyApplet.class"?
    Tnx in advance

    1. I have not tried this myself but I suppose you could resize your applet at run time using javascript by changeing the height and width attribute of the applet tag
    2. Well dont know what you mean by read, if you mean that "Would the client be able to see how you have done your class" then I'm afraid that the answer is YES!! When someone opens your applet through the browser it gets downloaded on their machiene, then thet can use decompilers to actually generate a .java file out of our class file.
    Hope this helps

  • Simple Question..easy Answer! How to return movie to main menu after end?

    In simulate, the movie simply stops after playing. Same situation with the burned copy. How do i set the movie to return to the menu automatically when done playing?
    There is only one chapter in my movie and one menu, so it's pretty straight forward. Thanks.

    What Eric said, but initially if you drag a track from the Outline view to a button and select "Connect to Track" from the drop-down menu, it will set the jump to and from the button for you.

  • Moving Final Cut Project to External Hard Drive...Simple Question!

    I'm new to Final Cut, Macs and External Hard Drives and have a simple question:
    I've created a project in Final Cut. I would like for Final Cut to be stored on my mac, but all project/media files to be stored on the External Hard Drive. Which files do I move to the hard drive and what settings to I have to change for Final Cut to be able to locate them?
    Many thanks!

    Well, you should always store the Application and the project file on your main OS drive. And yes, always have an external for the media. In FCP, open the SYSTEM SETTINGS in the FCP menu and you will see the interface for setting your Capture Scratch disk.
    The files you move default to the DOCUMENTS folder, and are in the FINAL CUT PRO DOCUMENTS. The Capture SCRATCH, RENDER and AUDIO RENDER files.
    Do yourself a favor and glance at that manual...or the FCP tutorials. This is FCP basics 101.

  • Re: add-ons. Just a simple question I couldn't find an answer to. Is the term "uninstall" equivalent to "remove the software from the computer"?

    I downloaded a You Tube downloader, and expected an icon to come up when You Tube was playing, according to a friend's advice.
    Since this didn't happen I assumed the download didn't work, or was an old version that doesn't work anymore. I wanted to just get rid of it and try another downloader.
    I went to Tools--> Add-ons--> and clicked on the downloaded software and saw the 2 options [Disable] and [Uninstall]. The terminology is unclear, as I've always thought once software resides on your computer you can install it or uninstall it without erasing it from the computer.
    A simple question that seems obvious except to someone who wants to be very precise and sure. Basically "does [Uninstall] mean erase from the computer"?
    Thanks

    With Firefox extensions (Tools > Add-ons > Extensions) you have two possibilities. You can disable an extension if you do not want to use it now, but want to keep it. Or you can uninstall an extension and remove it from the computer. Note that uninstalling an extension still leaves prefs in about:config (prefs.js) and possibly files in the profile folder that will be reused in case you decide to reinstall an extension at a later time.

  • Need a simple answer for simple question???

    simple question... what is the best way to export my fce movie and burn it on idvd for the best quality for genaral use ... sd..4x3 ratio tv.. lots of ken burn effects on photos... lots of sd video... ???
    not so simple answer... i have read manuals.. apple discussions.. etc etc my eyes are blurry.. i have been exporting out of fce to qk time movie, then import to idvd and burn..
    i get lots of wavy or jitter when doing kens burn effects on photos.. i have been told that 1 field must be missing.. and its better to take the qk time movie convert it again making sure hi quality is checked(movie properties 720 x 480) and self contained movie, then import to imovie ver 5.02 which has better codecs then to idvd ... an apple store tech said..
    then another apple store tech said...dv pro or dv stream or interlaced or on and on and on
    its not 16x9, or for the web or anything but simply burn it and give it to my grandma to play in a standard dvd player.. best quality.. period.. i know it won't any better than my source video but the wavy photos bother me..
    help

    The Apple store tech told you garbage. The quality will be the same. It's using the same QuickTime engine. There may be a difference because going through iMovie will go through a file conversion and the picture might be softened a little, which will mitigated this flicker you see.
    The wavy photos can be a lot of things, most likely due to the nature of the images themselves and the movements you've done on them. What often works on still images is to apply a one pixel vertical motion blur in an application like Photoshop or Elements. This helps to reduce interlace flicker on motion when the material is brought into a video editing application.

  • [Theory] A simple but hard question about OO programming

    I was in my first class of OO programming (4th year of computer engineering in Valencia) and the professor gave us homework.
    The homework was a simple question about OO programming (it is not about a specific language, though we are going to use Java in the practice sessions), we shall find an answer to it and discuss it in class the next day.
    The question was:
    "May classes also be objects?"
    which can be said as:
    "May classes be instances of an(other) classes?"
    I hope that you, archers, can enlighten me in this question

    tvale wrote:I believe an object is an instance of a class.
    Yup, that's true. Let's see... An object is an instance of a class, so we can have a lot of objects coming from one class.
    We can say an object is not a class because it has a state (think about a light, it has a state: on or off, but a class light is not on/off, because in a class we just describe the behavior that class should have.
    But what we're asking here is if a class can have a state. I think it may refer to static properties about the objects.
