]Splitting files for synching to iPhone

I routinely synch my MacBook tunes to my iPhone
However I am approaching the memory capacity limit of my iPhone
I want to load more songs on to my MacBook, but expect that will
cause synching troubles when the iPhone capacity is reached
How do I split or separate my iTune library on my MacBook
and arrange to only synch one of those files.
So that I can choose which sings I store/synch on my iPhone
I am sure that there is a simple answer, but I have not figured out an elegant solution

Set up a playlist and sync that to your iPhone instead:

I am trying to retrieve music that I had from an iPad to my iTunes account. I'm using the same computer for synching my iPhone. I'm logged into my iPad account, but can't retrieve music. It only recognizes my iPhone.

I am trying to retrieve music that I had from an iPad to my iTunes account. I'm using the same computer for synching my iPhone. I'm logged into my iPad account, but can't retrieve music. It only recognizes my iPhone. Does anyone know how I can get my music? I know longer own the iPad so I don't have access to it, but I don't think that should be a problem.

So you had music on the iPad that is not in iTunes and you no longer have the iPad. Is that what you are saying? If that is what you are saying, iTunes won't "recognize" anything that was on the iPad, that was not purchased from iTunes. If the music was purchased from iTunes, you should probably be able to download it again for free as long as you are using the same Apple ID that you bought it with. Did you try downloading the music again?
Am I understanding what it is that you want to do? If I am understanding you correctly, you will find this to be useful.

I admit that I'm a little confused by your remark about being logged into your iPad account. You should be logged into your iTunes account.

SXDA split files for RMDATIND - First record in sequential file & not a session record (type 0)

Hi gurus,
I'm trying to perform a mass upload of material master records and for this I've have setup a Data Transfer Project in SXDA with the purpose of splitting an LSMW input file into multiple. The file split task is using Data Load Program:
Object Type: BUS1001006
Obj. description: AD Standard Material
Program type: DINP
Program: RMDATIND
The problem I'm facing is that once the .conv (Converted Data) is split in multiple files these files are being transferred without a session record. This is causing to get the following error when running program: RMDATIND "First record in sequential file & not a session record (type 0)"
So the questions is: How can I specify in SXDA that I want to keep that session record in all my split files?
Thanks in advance for your help!

Hi Chris ,
try to re create logical file path/files for converted data.

Convert DVD and other video files for playback on iPhone, iPod, PSP, etc.

So, how are your holidays going? Or, if you're reading this on the weekend, how'd they go? Watching various sorts of DVD movies and videos is a better idea for a pastime during your free time. To make your holiday be more colorful with movies, I prefer to recommend an application to help you guys deal with different kinds of video resources, no matter the DVD files or footages shot by camcorders, or videos in formats of FLV, AVI, MKV, etc., in a word, the converted videos will be supported by whatever portable devices you have, including PSP, iPod Classic, iPod Touch, iPod Nano, iPhone (3G), iPhone, Zune, Zune 2, Blackberry, Nokia, Creative Zen, Sony Walkman, iRiver PMP, Archos, PS3, Apple TV, Xbox, iPAQ, Pocket PC, Mobile Phone, etc. The software is Pavtube Video DVD Converter Ultimate, which combines DVD ripper and Video Converter together, and enables you to edit and convert any DVD, video, audio and image files to other popular formats including MP4, 3GP, FLV, MPEG-4, AVI, MPG, MOV, 3G2, VOB, FLAC, MKA, OGG, WAV, AC3, M4A with super fast conversion speed and excellent image and sound quality.
The detailed user guide will be shown in the following part:
Step 1: Add video and DVD file
You are allowed to add videos to this program via clicking "Add Video", and add DVD files to it via clicking "Load DVD". DVD files can be loaded in three ways: "Load DVD ROM", "Load DVD Folder", and "Load ISO/IFO".
Step 2: Select output format and set destination folder
Videos and DVD files can be added to this program at the same time, after that, you can click the drop-down list of "Format" to select an output format for your portable devices. The format profile provides you with formats for iPod, iPhone, PSP, PS3, BlackBerry, etc. Meanwhile, you can click the folder icon at the end of "Output" to decide where to save the output files. Moreover, if you want to combine multiple files to be a single file, you can tick "Merge into one file".
Step 3: Set advanced settings
If you have the needs of adjusting video and audio parameters to make good control of the output file quality and size, you can click "Settings" button to do it, and all the options like codec, aspect ratio, bit rate, frame rate, audio channel, etc. are changeable on the following window.
Step 4: Start conversion
As soon as the above steps are finished, you can click "Convert" button to start conversion, the following ripping window will show you clearly about all the conversion info. After finished, you are able to find out the output files via clicking "Open" button.

We're not supposed to talk about DVD conversion according to the terms of service ...
So I'll assume these VOB files are from your HOME MOVIE DVDs you burned yourself and suggest the Videora iPod Classic Video Converter.
http://www.videora.com/
It's a really nice program that converts not only your HOME MOVIE DVD VOB files, but AVI, MPEG, and others. You can set the CPU usage from high to low with five settings, it has a queue which you can add multiple files to, and it will minimize to the taskbar for compact convenience. There are other Windows programs that do much the same, but I prefer Videora. Oh ... and it's freeware!!

Can't install the split files for 9iAS (v1.02.2)

I have downloaded Oracle9iAS Release 1 version for my developement machine which runs on NT.
I have the 3 batch files (Disk1.bat, disk2.bat,disk3.bat) and the corresponding zip files. The instruction said i have to first run the batch files and then do the unzip.
When I run the batch files, the window flash very fast and did nothing at all. The zip files won't unzip. But i have downloaded them for hours. The error message says 'cant open file, it is an invalid archive, try download again.' I re-download them already and same result.
Please help and give me some hints.
Also, i want to ask if i only wanted to develop the Portal module, do i need a Oracle database?
So that we may better diagnose DOWNLOAD problems, please provide the following information.
- Server name
- Filename
- Date/Time
- Browser + Version
- O/S + Version
- Error Msg

So, after trying a couple more times, I decided to clean up all files installed by PSE8 installer: to find out these files, I launched Setup from Instruments (part of the Xcode suite). To my surprise, this time the installer went through without a glitch and PSE works perfectly... I don't think it has anything to do with Instruments, probably after the previous repeated failures some corrupted files were replaced. Or maybe it liked the song I'm playing now in iTunes better than the previous one...

Help needed in splitting files using BPM

Hello experts,
I am working on an interface where i need to split files within BPM.
I know,i can achieve it in Message Mapping by mapping Recordset to Target structure and then using Interface Mapping within Transformation step.But i dont want to follow this.Is there an alternative way to achieve this within BPM.
I have an input file with multiple headers and i need to split for each header.My input file looks like this:
HXXXXXABCDVN01
MXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
MXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
SXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
HXXXXXABCDVN02
MXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
MXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
SXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
HXXXXXABCDVN03
MXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
SXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
Is there a way, where i can specify this condition within BPM , that split files for every H.
Thanks in advance.
Regards,
Swathi

Hi,
have your target structure with occurence as 0...unbounded in the mapping and map the header filed to the root node (repeating parent node) of the target structure....this will create as many target messages as the header fileds....if you want to send these messages separately then use a block in BPM with ForEach option....
Splitting and Dynamic configuration can be applied in the same mapping.
Regards,
Abhishek.

Joining Split Files - How do i ?

I have searched and searched for answers on this but am amazed at how little information there is on joining split files for a Mac.
I am downloading split files for media from the Usernet, such as Par and avi.
Once I get the file I am 'currently' using MacPAR Deluxe to open the file.
It basically sorts it out and tells me that the files are good.
At this point I am clueless of what to do with these extracted? files.
Everyone I have asked or any google seach leads me to a link for ChunkJoiner 2.2 which doesn't work with Tiger... so that is out.
I suppose I have gobs of questions here.. like what is a good split file joiner software to use for Mac? What do i do with the files once MacPAR does its thing? Or if someone can really lay it out for me on how to download a movie off a newsgroup and actually get a usable file to burn a DVD that would be really helpful. Maybe someone knows of a website that lays it out for Mac users?
I am using Tiger 10.4.7 20" Mac Intel
I really appreciate any help.

Help in MacPAR deLuxe should be of some use. If you have .par2 files set to open in MacPAR deLuxe, everything should happen automatically when you double-click the .par2 file. It should verify the files, make repairs, if there are enough .par2 files, and extract the desired files from the .rar files. The repair process can take a while. Eventually it will say if it can, or cannot, repair the files.
MacPAR deLuxe works for almost everything I download. Sometimes you also need Split&Concat installed.
<http://www.xs4all.nl/~loekjehe/Split&Concat/>
Sometimes I need UnRarX <http://unrarx.sourceforge.net/news.html>
If MacPAR deLuxe doesn't complete the job, opening the first .rar file with UnRarX should do it.
I have never heard of, let alone used, ChunkJoiner.
If the download is in DVD format you should end up with a VIDEO_TS folder. You can drag the folder onto Apple's DVD Player to watch it. To burn a DVD, drag it onto DVD Imager.
<http://lonestar.utsa.edu/llee/applescript/dvdimager.html>
This will create an UDF disk image file that you burn to a DVD with Disk Utility.
Some DVD downloads are disk image files (.ISO, .img, etc.). If you mount one of these by double-clicking you should see the VIDEO_TS folder. If you start Apple's DVD Player it should find the file automatically since it is in UDF format. You can burn these to DVD directly with Disk Utility. You do not need DVD Imager if it is already UDF.
Ask if you still have problems. Of course you need a good news-server for multimedia files or you will never get complete downloads. I use GigaNews. Not cheap, but very reliable.
Give the newsgroup and filename of a download that is failing, and I can try it.

How do we split our iCloud accounts but keep one iTunes account so we can share purchased content for our multiple iPhones and iPads?

How do we split our iCloud accounts but keep one iTunes account so we can share purchased content for our multiple iPhones and iPads?

You can migrate a copy of the data to a new account, then delete the other person's data from each account. To do this, on the phone that will be changing accounts, if you have any photos in photo stream that you want to keep on the phone, save these to your camera roll by opening the photo stream album in the thumbnail view, tapping Edit, then tap all the photos you want to save, tap Share and tap Save to Camera Roll. If you have any synced notes that you want to keep on the phone, email these to yourself so you can create new notes in the new account.
Once this is done, go to Settings>iCloud, scroll to the bottom and tap Delete Account. (This will only delete the account from this phone, not from iCloud. The phone that will be keeping the account will not be effected by this.) When prompted about what to do with the iCloud data, be sure to select Keep On My iPhone. Next, set up a new iCloud account using a different Apple ID (if you don't have one, tap Get a Free Apple ID at the bottom). Then turn iCloud data syncing for contacts, etc. back to On, and when prompted about merging with iCloud, choose Merge. This will upload the data to the new account. You will create a new icloud email address with you turn Mail to On.
Finally, to un-merge the data you will then have to go to icloud.com on your computer and sign into each iCloud account separately and manually delete the data you don't want (such as deleting your wife's data from your account, and vice versa).

My iTunes account says that it cannot locate the original file for all of my songs. My iPhone still has all the music and is able to play the songs, if I sync and backup my iphone will the songs be replaced with the empty copies from my itunes library?

So basically I tried to back up my itunes library to my external hard drive and when I followed the instructions and then went to play a song it said Orginal file cannot be found. It said that for all of the songs. I'm not sure how to fix what I did, I already tried consolidating and all of that stuff and it didn't locate the files. I'm guessing that I somehow deleted the original songs along the way. I synced my iPhone without knowing what I did and surprisingly all of the music is still on my phone. So now that I've completely screwed up my iTunes account, I need to know how to get all my music back onto my iTunes account and have that library only on my external hard drive, not my computer. Everything looks fine on my iTunes besides the fact that it cannot locate the files but what I'm afraid of is me syncing and backing up my iPhone and then being left with no music because it syncs to the empty songs. How can I fix this? and if I can't fix my iTunes library is there anyway for me to still be able to backup my iphone and all the music on it, without erasing my music?

Well I'm not sure if I correctly backed up my itunes library because when trying to open itunes from that back up it keeps saying original file not found. Okay this is going to sound confusing but bear with me. I "backed up" my itunes, meaning I just dragged and dropped the iTunes folder into my external hardrive, and then I changed the destination on iTunes to open from my external hardrive. It was working fine when I did that, however I did that just on my own, I didn't know about consolidating the files or any of that so I hadn't done that before copying the folder to my external hard drive. I can't remember but I'm pretty sure I deleted the iTunes folder after I had copied it to my external hardrive. So I did that and it was working fine, I was able to open my itunes with my external hardrive. BUT yesterday I thought that I hadn't done it correctly because I didn't consolidate the files and all that, so I wanted to be more thorough and do that, I followed the steps to do that but when I did that I think it got all the files from my computer and not from my external hard drive so it basically didn't find anything on my computer because I had deleted them. And like an idiot, I replaced the iTunes folder on my external hard drive (the one I did correctly the first time), with the one I did wrong. So I believe I pretty much deleted all the music files from both my external hard drive and my computer. Please correct me if I'm wrong?
I believe getting all my music back on my itunes is a lost cause. BUT I still have all my songs and stuff on my iPhone. My question is, if I plug my phone into my computer and sync it, will it erase all my songs from my phone? A little more info, my iTunes still has the names and stuff of all my songs, they just can't be played because the files are missing, my iPhone doesn't need to erase and sync when I plug in my phone because it's already synced to my computer. What I'm afraid of is when I plug in my phone to backup and sync, will it erase my music because it can't find the files on my computer or external hard drive anymore? Or will it just leave the songs because they're already there (on my phone) and only sync the new songs that I've downloaded? I just need to know is my iTunes still going to be functional as far as me being able to backup my phone?
I have a lot of songs purchased from iTunes but a lot (like 60%) are from CDs that I no longer have. So re-downloading my music would only account for 40% of my library.
