"Simply drag the files onto the Library icon in the iTunes Source list"

Would someone tell me how this is "simply" done? Thanks.

I have tried to move the songs numerous times this way and it doesnt work. Separately oddly enough also, songs that I deleted from the itunes music folder on my computer still show up in my Shared folder in itunes. Guess no "refresh" functionality.

  • Finding "iPod" on the iTunes Source list

    Sometimes when I view the Source list on iTunes (at the left of the entry screen) I see IPod and I can drag tunes from the iTunes Library to the iPod. But other times I do not see the "iPod" entry on the list. Often (maybe always?) if I disconnect the iPod from the pc, the "iPod" listing returns. _
    Why is that happening? Surely there must be a better way to restore the "i{pd" listing than disconnecting and reconnecting the cable? Help. please.

  • My ipod is recognised in my computer but not in the itunes source list

    Please Help.
    I got my ipod (20gb) as a Christmas present last year. It is now 11 months old. I havent had many problems with it but recently one has arisen.
    I connected my ipod to my windows computer. It displayed 'Do not disconnect'. After waiting for about 2 minutes i realised that itunes had not recognised my ipod. I disconnected it and connected it again. The same thing happened. I checked 'my computer' and saw that the ipod had been recognised, i asume (hopefully correctly) that my ipod is not faulty.
    I visited the apple website and went on their support page where i tryed everything that it advised at leat 3 times. I am well and truly stuck.
    I am only 14 and was a bit shocked at the £35 i would have to pay to ask apple for help. I therefore hoped that some nice people on the discussion forum might help.
    I have helped people before as i am usually quite efficient when it comes to using a computer.
    Please help, It would be much appreciated
    Im posting this on a Friday night so have a nice weekend.

    Try Resetting Your iPod while it's connected to the computer.
    Hold down the Menu and Select buttons until you see the Apple logo (or Menu & Play/Pause in older models).
    This will often get it recognized. It may take several attempts.
    Also try this (and the other suggestions below) from any other USB port you may have on the PC. Sometimes switching USB ports can make all the difference.
    If that doesn't work, Put Your iPod into Disk Mode then plug it in and you should be able to Restore the iPod

  • Keeping Ipod Icon in iTunes source list when Ipod is disconnected

    My shuffle icon used to stay in the iTunes source list even when it was disconnected, which was really nice to make changes and then connect the ipod to update all at once, but it has disappeared. I have done some searching and can't find the answer. Any help would be great, thanks!

    Anthony,
    Only shuffles have this "feature"...since regular iPods can sync against any number of selected playlists, one really doesn't need this capability as it less powerful than what is provided.

  • How do I back up my entire iphoto library to an external hard drive that I have dedicated for photos only?  Can I simply drag the iphoto library onto my seagate (hard drive) icon?

    How do I back up my entire iphoto library on to an external hard drive that will be my second back up plan.  I already have one back up that is also synched with time machine.  But now I want to back up my iphoto library to a new hard drive to have a second copy. Can I simply drag the whole library onto the icon on my desk top?  THX

    WHile you can do it that way, the next time you back up you'll end up copying the entire library again, and,as you'l see, once a library gets bigger that can take a considerable amount of time.
    Try using an app that will do incremental back ups. This is a very good way to work. The first time you run the back up the app will make a complete copy of the Library. Thereafter it will update the back up with the changes you have made. That makes subsequent back ups much faster. Many of these apps also have scheduling capabilities: So set it up and it will do the back up automatically.
    Example of such apps: Chronosync - but there are many others. Search on MacUpdate or the App Store

  • Finder doesn't seem to open automatically when I drag a file onto it in the dock

    You can't do that. It doesn't work, so you have to drag to a window, not the icon

    Although we are continents apart - Australia (Perth) vs North America (US), we will not let time zones interfere with getting your Premiere Elements 8.0/8.0.1 working.
    1. The usual Premiere Elements 8 drill.
    a. Are the automatic features of Background Rendering and AutoAnalzyer turned Off?
    For Background Rendering, see Premiere Elements workspace Edit Menu/Preferences/General. For AutoAnalzyer, see Elements Organizer workspace Edit Menu/Preferences/AutoAnalyzer Options.
    b. Are you running the program from the 8.0.1 Update? If not, see Help Menu/Update?
    c. Do you have the latest version of QuickTime installed on your computer with Premiere Elements 8.0/8.0.1?
    Apple - QuickTime - Download
    2. The usual computer drill....for your Windows XP 32 bit (SP3, I presume)
    a. Is computer opitimized, defragmented, etc.
    CCleaner - PC Optimization and Cleaning - Free Download
    b. Are you running your computer from a User Account with Administrative Privileges? That is important for Premiere Elements 8 as well as for its
    required QuickTime. In addition, right click the computer desktop icon for Premiere Elements 8 and select and apply Run As Administrator.
    3. Project Specifics
    For now, import your source media into the project from the computer hard drive using the project's Get Media/Files and Folders. Leave the Elements Organizer and Albums out of the equation for now. We will circle back to it soon after we decide everything else is working as it should be.
    a. You need to set a project preset. And, that project preset should match the properties of your source media. So important to know properties of source media.
    b. When you import your source media into a project you will get a red line over its content if the project preset is not a match - either because you set the wrong one or the program does not have a match for your particular video. That red line means that you are not seeing the best possible preview of what is being played back in the Edit area monitor. To get the best possible preview, you hit the Enter key of the computer main keyboard to get a rendered Timeline (red line goes from red to green after this type of rendering). That green line over your rendered Timeline indicates that you are now getting the best possible preview. This is solely a preview thing. Longer story, but I will leave it at that for now.
    c. Check Edit Menu/Preferences/Scratch Disks to assure that those Scratch Disks are being saved to a computer hard drive location with enough free space to accept them. Make sure that you do not have pile ups of previews files, conformed audio files, and conformed video files.
    See Local Disk C\Documents and Settings\Owner\My Documents\Adobe\Premiere Elements\9.0
    Never move, delete, or rename source files after they have been imported into a project which has been saved/closed. Otherwise, nasty media disconnect problems. You have only copies of media in Premiere Elements. The originals are on the hard drive, and the project must trace back to the originals where they were at import.
    Based on the above, try to start a new project. But, let me know ahead of time what you will be importing into the project. I am looking for
    Video
    video compression
    audio compression
    frame size
    frame rate
    interlaced or progressive
    pixel aspect ratio
    If you do not know, we could try to get that type of information from knowing the brand/model/settings for the camera that recorded the video.
    Photos
    Pixel dimensions and how many photos?
    Lots and lots of details, but eventually they all mellow into one workflow that you can customize for your projects.
    Please do not hesitate to ask questions or to ask for clarification. We can go at whatever pace you feel comfortable with.

  • Dragging a file onto finder in Mountain Lion

    Hi there,
    I am asking this question here because there isn't a Mountain Lion section yet. When I drag a file onto the finder icon in the dock I used to get a pop up finder window where I was able to navigate to other maps to find the right destination for my file. In Mountain Lion this is no longer the case and when I drag a file onto the icon I get the shaded background image because I don't have a finder window open already (this wasn't necessary in previous versions). I was wondering if there are more people experiencing this problem and if someone knows how to fix it? Thanks in advance!
    Kind regards

    I read somewhere that this feature was taken out which kinda ***** since I used it quite a bit. Anyway, it still works from the Trash icon and you can just drag it to whichever place you want it to go on the sidebar.

  • Dragging a File Onto Fluxbox Toolbar

    Hello.
    My first post in the Arch Linux forums. Let me start out by saying that I find the community great. Arch Linux is indeed an amazing distribution. It took me quite some effort to get my laptop working but I am immensely satisfied with the results I have managed to obtain.
    I am using Fluxbox as a WIndow Manager and have configured it to suit my muscle memory from the Ubuntu days. One of the things that I have gotten used to from Ubuntu 12.04 is the ability to drag a file from a FIle Manager onto the taskbar and the corresponidng application to get automatically maximized so that I can drag the file onto it.
    One example: Drag an image file onto an open session of LibreOffice Impress and paste it onto a slide directly.
    Another: Drag a file to a GMail window tab on task bar and drop it as an attachment.
    Another: Drag subtitle file onto VLC
    etc.
    I tried the following but could not achieve this behavior with Fluxbox.
    OnToolbar Mouse1:Maximize
    OnToolbar Mouse1:Click1
    Can someone guide me in the right direction? Thanks in advance.
    PS: Being new on the forums, I may be inadvertently breaking some forum norm, please do let me know if this is the case.

  • Is there a way that iTunes can act as a Radio Alarm Clock? I have found the radio station I enjoy listening to in the iTunes Radio List. Is there anyway iTunes (and my Mac) can be set to come-on and start playing that Radio Station from Sleep mode at spec

    Is there a way that iTunes can act as a Radio Alarm Clock?
    I have found the radio station I enjoy listening to in the iTunes Radio List. Is there anyway iTunes (and my Mac) can be set to come-on from Sleep mode and start playing that Radio Station at specific times of the day?
    Any App or plug-in that does that?
    Many thanks
    Kevin

    Turning your Mac into a clock radio.
    1.  In iTunes create a playlist that contains just the radio station you want to wake up to.
    2.  Export the playlist (as .m3u works well).  Get Info on your playlist file and look at the Open With entry to make sure it points to iTunes, VLC or some other app that will stream your station.
    3.  In iCal create an event entry at the time you want to wake up.
    4.  Right (or Control) click on your wakeup event and select Get Info.
    5.  For "alarm" select Open File.
    6.  Now under Open File there will be a place to add the file to open.  It will probably be some default entry (like iCal).  Click on it will allow you to select "other."  Then use the file dialog to select your playlist file.
    Your Mac will wake you up at the appointed time.  You don't need to keep iCal running.  If you want to put you Mac to sleep for the night then there is one more thing you need to do.  Open System Preferences to Energy Saver and click on the Schedule button.  Check Start up or wake and set the wake up time to slightly before your iCal alarm time.

  • Photo stream is showing up in iphoto recent but not web and I am not able to join the shared photo stream.  all of my software is updated.  can someone tell me how to get photo stream in the web source list? thanks!

    Can someone help me get Photo Stream to appear under Web in the iPhoto Source List? I have updated all my software.  iPhoto 11, Mac OS X 10.7.5  All of my preferences are checked.  I am able to see the shared Photo Stream on my iPad, but not my Mac.  The Mac iPhoto photos from the shared photo stream are appearing in the Photo Stream (under Recent), but I thought they would appear as a shared Photo Stream in its own file/album (like on the iPad and iPhone)  - labeled with the shared Photo Stream's title.  Is this supposed to happen on the Mac?  Thanks!

    So you are saying for it to do what i want: shared photo stream to appear in web then i need to upgrade.
    Yes
    Does that mean i purchase the new software an it's not just an update?
    Yes
    Your profile indicates your running 10.7.5.  For shared Photo Streams you need to be running 10.8.2 or later: The following is from  iCloud: Photo Stream FAQ
    What do I need to use Photo Stream?
    To use Photo Stream, including Shared Photo Streams, you need an iCloud account, compatible devices, and up-to-date software:  iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch with iOS 6.0 or later Mac with OS X Mountain Lion v10.8.2 or later and iPhoto 9.4 or Aperture 3.4 or later
    So you'll need to upgrade to Mt. Lion.
    iPhoto requirements are free updates for iPhoto '11

  • ATV not showing in the iTunes device list? Check your HTTP proxy config

    Seems like many people are having trouble getting their ATV to show up in the iTunes Devices list. Here's my situation, and the root cause:
    1. I have a small network at home consisting of one LAN with a number of computers, and a gateway router that provides DHCP, DNS and HTTP (web) proxy services
    2. I found that my ATV would display in the Devices list only when the ATV and at least one Mac were isolated from the rest of my network; when I connected them back to the rest of the LAN the ATV disappeared from the Devices list (in the simplest case this isolation was a crossover cable between the Mac and ATV)
    3. when connected to the whole LAN, the ATV could successfully contact the iTunes Store (trailers, etc) but would not show up in the Devices list
    4. I could ping the ATV from the Mac running iTunes every time (i.e. I did not have a basic connectivity problem; e.g. "ping appletv.local." always worked)
    5. I started with my ATV on v1.1, when I upgraded to 2.0 and turned on the the iTunes' "Look for remote speakers connected with AirTunes" option ATV always appeared in the speaker list (i.e. even when it wasn't in the Devices list)
    I had gone through the Apple troubleshooting guides, with no change.
    After a lot of elimination I discovered that my problem was with my web proxy settings: my Macs were configured to use my gateway router for HTTP, and it seems that iTunes connects back to the Apple TV via HTTP - these requests were sent to the proxy and rejected (as they were for an address on the inside LAN; this is the way my proxy was configured).
    I fixed the problem by using a PAC file specifying my LAN as "DIRECT" (e.g. below). An alternative would have been to configure my proxy to allow connections from the LAN back into the LAN (but be careful about allowing access from elsewhere, e.g. the Internet).
    Here's my PAC file: my LAN is in the 10.0.0.0/8 address space, domain *.home.lan. (iTunes seems to contact the AppleTV via it's IP address, e.g. http://10.0.0.169:3689/ript/fp-setup?fairPlayID=4a5...):
    function FindProxyForURL(url, host)
    // simple hostname
    if (dnsDomainLevels(host) == 0) {return "DIRECT";}
    // match Host against local domains (w/ optional :port)
    var dom = /(127\.\d.d+.d+|.local.?|10.d+.d+.d+|.home.lan.?)(:d)?/;
    if(dom.test(host)) { return "DIRECT"; }
    // All other requests go through port 8080 of proxy
    // should that fail to respond, go directly to the WWW:
    return "PROXY proxy.home.lan:8080; DIRECT";
    The reason the ATV was successfully appearing in the Devices list when it and a Mac were isolated from the rest of the LAN was that the Mac was unable to reach the proxy, and falling back to the 'DIRECT' connection.
    Note: if you don't have basic connectivity, e.g. if ping appletv.local. doesn't work, then the above is almost certainly not your problem.

    Hi There,
    I have the exact same issue going on that this person described in this thread, but with the EXCEPTION in my case being that, after I have plugged my device into my laptop and uplugged it (about 10 consecutive times), my iTunes FINALLY recognizes my iPod Touch.
    This is extremely frustrating to have to go through this scenerio each and every single time I want to synch and charge my Touch. Is there any way to correct it, so that the device would be recognized immediately when I first plug it in? It used to work this way (prior to the v.10 update, most likely).
    Thanks!
