Solved iTunes compatibility, copy and burning difficulties

I buy my music and video from Amazon.com. Now I never run into those annoying proprietary copy write Apple-hack issues. Yeah I know there store is not as pretty and there selection is a bit smaller but if you want to move a song or burn a new DVD with any program on the market or any mp3 (generic term) player you can.
I have tossed all my expensive iToys away and all my iHeadaches are gone.

You can thank the copy right holders/content owners for all those problems. It isn't Apple.
You were always free to shop where ever you wanted. Thank goodness you had a choice.

Copy what kind/type of DVDs? For non-copy protected DVDs you can use Disk Utility (in the Applications folder) to make a disk image of the DVD disk and then burn it back to a disk.

ITunes 11 copy and paste playlist

I used to create a playlist of songs and choose the columns I wanted to see (usually Name and Artist). Select All, Copy, and Paste into something like Notes would give me a simple text list with the columns I chose.
Now, in iTunes 11, doing the same thing results in the location/filename of the song being pasted. Not quite the same.
Anyone else seeing this? Is there an easy way around, other than copying and pasting each individual piece of data from the playlist?

There is a little glimmer of logic to this new behaviour in that in "some-many-most" cases you don't want duplicates in a playlist.
But in those cases that you do ??
The correct solution is to pop up a warning "Do you really want to add duplicates .. Yes/No". That would cover all the bases.
Playing around I found this.
So it can be done

My itunes wont copy and paste from a shared library

I am trying to move my itunes library from one computer to a new one. I can see my shared library, and copy the list of music, but then it won't paste into my new library. My daughters computer with itunes will paste her shared library, and when viewing the shared library she can see a menu at the bottom of the screen allowing her to choose 'all content' or 'content not in library' (or something like that). My itunes doesn't have this option. I have tried uninstalling and reinstalling itunes.
How can I move the library to a new computer?

You can drag and drop it into Pages from the Finder but it sounds like you want to either edit it or add something to it.
The pdf will just be an uneditable image in Pages.
If you want text from it you can open it in Preview.app and drag over the text to select and copy it.

Copying and burning dvds

hi
i am wondering how you copy dvds and then burn them.
i went on a forum and they suggested mac the ripper. It is all above board dvd's, they are training videos that i have to copy for my boss, nothing illegal.
when i used mac the ripper it put the dvd into a folder (a VIDEO_TS folder ) that i cannot open.
burning them i guess i would use idvd, as i have made dvds myself and burnt with that.
i am sorry if i sound a bit stupid but.....so be it!
so the how do i copy a dvd???
thank you

After you get the Video TS folder on your desktop, you simply drag it to Your choice of either DSK Utility , or Toast and put in a blank DVD-R and click burn.
If you are not familiar with DVD Burning it can get confusing in a hurry at first.
To help you out a little.
Standard DVD's are 4.7 gb in size.
Most Data, and Audio is not a problem.
Most people run into there problem when trying to copy a commercially made DVD that may have 6 or 7 GB on it. Thus it will not fit on a Standard 4.7GB DVD.
Here is where you need a top of the line software to accomplish this task.
Roxio's Toast 7, or Popcorn.
What it does is read the Video TS folders size and content and then it automatically compresses the content to fit on a 4.7 GB DVD.
All of this is done with a couple of clicks of the mouse.
Using Apple's software to copy is fine through the Disc Utility for Audio, and Data, and some Video, Take note that Apples furnished software is entry level and there are only certain things it is capable of.
Hope this helps. Don

Copy and Burn a DVD

Hi...
I have a non-copyrighted DVD that I want to copy. How do I do that with just one drive? Isn't there a way to copy the DVD to burn onto another DVD?
Thanks
Shelley

If you try the Help menu, entering "copy dvd" you get the following:
Duplicating a CD or DVD
You can make copies of a CD or DVD and the information it contains. To do so, use Disk Utility to create a copy, or “disk image,” of the disc, and then burn that image to another disc.
For more information about duplicating a CD or DVD, open Disk Utility (in the Utilities folder in the Applications folder) and choose Help > Disk Utility Help

Copy and burn personal DVDs to play on TVs?

I have personal DVDs of family members that I would like to share with other family members. Looking up possible procedures I see different approaches, some of which require download of an application. None of them seem particularly simple. Any suggestions?

If you have software app such as Roxio Toast, you can copy/burn your own content (not copy-righted) from one DVD to another very easily. Simply pop in the DVD, copy it, and then burn it to another DVD. You need to be careful as the content needs to be encoded to be able to be played on DVD players. I do not know if Disk Utility can actually do that - I know it can do so on DVDs being played on other computers, but I do not know if it can encode properly to be played on DVD players.

Disconnect between Itunes play volume and burned CD volumes

I have a 20-song playlist; when played from there in Itunes, the songs are nicely normaled. But when I burn CDs from the playlist, on playback on other CD players, some of the songs are absurdly louder than others. Changing EQ settings for those before burning the CD doesn't work; and I've had the same result whethet or not "Sound check" has been selected in Preferences.

Dennis,
Sound Check and EQ settings only affect playback in
iTunes. They will not affect how the song is burned
to CD.
Matt
Just to expand on this, SoundCheck is specifically designed to normalise playback from iTunes in direct playback. That's why it takes up CPU cycles and screws with your battery life if you're on a laptop.
To be honest, the best product for creating CDs that have a bit of craft attached to them is Roxio's Toast/Jam product. The Jam part allows adjustable gain on a track-by-track basis, or automated normalisation. The product also gives you complete control on crossfades and both Toast and Jam support CD-TEXT which is nice if you have a compatible head unit in the car or whatever.
That said, you may wish to try and see if altering the gain/eq in the individual tracks info (Click on a track, and CTRL+I or CMD+I depending on platform) follows through to a CD burn. I would check myself, but I've just used my last disc in the flat and I'm not going to the car till tomorrow morning.

Copy and Burn Audio CD

My wife asked me to make copies of an audio cd of a concert her choir performed. Do I have to use iTunes to make a simple copy? I can't get disk utility to work. If I remember correctly, I've made copies of cds in the past but perhaps it was pre-Snow Leopard.
Thanks for your help!

Hi Doug,
personally I use SimplyBurns http://simplyburns.berlios.de/
Very easy in useage and no hassle.
But Disk Utility can do it also.
For more information about duplicating a CD or DVD, open Disk Utility (in the Utilities folder in the Applications folder) and choose Help > Disk Utility Help.

I have music on PC in folder and when I go to ITunes to copy and paste, nothing happens.

(I also cannot download ITunes new 10. - I think that's current version) > It also says "cannot find ITunes.msi".

Yes, I tried that.   The files were ordered by their original numbers as imported from the camera, but I batched them through Phocoshop to downsize all of them into a more manageable file size.   I opened that destination folder from quick time from where it said select image sequence.   I clicked on the first one and opened it.   The result was a large image with an arrow indicating a movie was ready to go.   When I pressed the arrow, though, I realized it had only imported that one frame so there was no movie.   The files are Jpgs and are about 450 KB each.
    To your knowledge are there any links to iMovie tutorials or quick time tutorials that may address this situation? Maybe there will be one I haven't looked at yet.
    Thanks

Can I use downloaded songs from iTunes into iMovie and burn DVDs?

If I use downloaded songs from iTunes in iMovie, will I be able to make DVDs of my movie without losing music files?

Hi A
Probably but iMovie and I guess iDVD is fussy about in what format the audio
is in. It should be 48k/.aiff
If You in iTunes make an audio CD with the material You need in Your movie
and then Use this CD in iMovie it will work.
Yours Bengt W

The registry settings by itunes dirvers for importing and burning cds are missing

The registry settings by Itunes for importing and burning cd,s are missing the drivers unstall and restall nothings works.

I'd start with the following document, with one modification. At step 12 after typing GEARAspiWDM press the Enter/Return key once prior to clicking OK. (Pressing Return adds a carriage return in the field and is important.)

When I try to restore my iTunes library from DVD, iTunes stops copying the files after some minutes

On 2 of my 9 DVDs, iTunes stops copying and I can't do anything with iTunes anymore. I have to reboot my computer. So I'm not able to bring back all my files. Has anyone got help?

Thanks but I already did read all of the help notes, which aren't very helpful for this. I did find out the problem- Apple.....they evidently changed one of the major upsides to their old software- being able to back up your entire library onto dvd's- so you can longer do that or restore from the dvds created from older versions of itunes. I suspect greed is at play in that Apple now wants you to pay $24.95 per year to use a "cloud" service where they back it up for you. I can buy a lifetime supply of back up dvds for one year's worth of cloud. So I am now looking into other music software as I am Appled-out. There is no reason for them to take away the back up portion of the software other than to sell you thrir cloud service. As we have already given them a ton of money for 5 Ipods and a bunch of music, I think we have contributed enough. Time to look to solutions outside of the Apple money tree. But thank you for reading and replying.
