Timing problem for Playlists, etc.

I'm not very good at going through the maze of info options to solve problems, particularly this one. Since installing a new hard drive, then software, etc., the timer at the bottom of all Playlist selections has changed.
Instead of getting specific timing such as 53:12, I get readings such as 1.7 hours. I'd appreciate having someone explain how to get back to the specifics!

Syncing problems for playlists created from coverting 33 records

My kids recently purchased Deck USB turntable that converts older 33 records into MP3 file format. I successfully converted and loaded to I-tunes. They play inside I-tunes, but are not synced or moved to I-Touch. Help!!

did you get a solution for this issue. I am trying to generate a stub to connect to a webservice i created by exposing my stateless session EJB as a web service, using annotations. I want to create a client stub using the clientgen from weblogic 81. I am unable to do this, do you have any solution to this.

I have enrolled for the apple developer program but apparently have the same account name in iBooks. I need to change the iBooks account but don't know how. Do I change my apple id? Will this cause me problems with iTunes etc etc?

I have enrolled for the apple developer program but apparently already have an account with iBooks, cant have this it seems.how do I change my iBooks account, is this the apple id for my iPad and if I change this will it cause problems accessing iTunes etc?

I guess nobody knows if the crash that occured was legitimate or not? Apple phone support could do nothing for me, so I guess I am left to drive 45 minutes to the nearest store.

I managed to transfer the music from 1 pc to 1 other pc (to be played by iTunes). Bit didn't fixe the transfer of the meta data (for example the rating). Does anyone know how to use your old playlists, etc..(= meta data) on the other PC? So, please help!

I managed to transfer the music from 1 pc to 1 other pc (it is played perfectly on the other PC (Windows 7- pc) by the newly downloaded and installed iTunes, version 10.6.1.7). But I didn’t fix the transfer of the meta data (for example the rating). Does anyone know how to use (or import) your old playlists, etc..(= meta data) on the other PC? So, short: how to migrate the meta data from one pc to an other pc?
It's a pity that it seems not to be possible to import on the new pc e.g. the ratings!!!
I don't want to start again with rating my (beautiful classical) music!
Thanks, from Amsterdam, NL

Did you do the move via Home Sharing, astro?
If so, perhaps try the instructions from the following post:
Re: i transfered itunes to my pc playlists did not go

Does any one know about the small Hardrive that "The Power Company" is producing, sponsored by Indiegogo, for small Apple mobile devices (iPhones, iPods, etc,). Do they work or cause problems for the device or iCloud storage?

Does any one about the small hard drive that "the Power Company" is bringing out as a crowdsourced project by Indiegogo? Does it work, does it cause problems for IOS, iPOD Touch or iCloud?

I have not heard that mentioned here before. What does the Indiegogo page say?

Ios7 music sync problems for iPhone 4S

Like many other folks I made the huge mistake of updating (NOT upgrading) to io7, in my case 7.0.4, then trying to sync musci from iTunes. I first upgraded (ha!) to iTunes 11.1.3, then found I was lost in the 'waiting for changes' zone. I've now been working on this problem for hours, along with a host of other ios7-related changes (e.g. the inability to limit the number of gmail messages ported into active memory). I've tried most of the fixes others have listed [remove all sync flags, rebuild playlist, clean out chinese characters, etc.] and finally got one sync to make it through the 'veil', but subsequent syncs now get stuck as well. I have not tried a full restore and really don't want to go down that path. This is pathetic, and the total cone of Apple silence about this issue makes you wonder where their customer focus disappeared to. Any other ideas?

This is a user to user forum, there is no Apple here.

Problem importing playlist from Ipod

My computer crashed so I had to reload everything back on. I don't want to lose everything I have on the Ipod, does anyone know how to export the playlist from the Ipod to my PC? I would really appriciate anyones help with this. Thanks!!!

If you have any iTMS purchases the transfer of purchased content from the iPod to authorised computers has been introduced with iTunes 7. A paragraph on it has been added to this article: Transfer iTunes Store purchases using iPod
The transfer of non iTMS content such as songs imported from CD is designed by default to be one way from iTunes to iPod. However there is a manual method of accessing the iPod's hard drive and copying songs back to iTunes on Windows. The procedure is a bit involved and it won't recover playlists but if you're interested it's posted in this thread: MacMuse - iPod to iTunes
If you prefer something more automated then there are a number of third party utilities that you can use to retrieve the music files and playlists from your iPod. This is just a selection, you'll find that they have varying degrees of functionality and some will transfer movies, videos, photos and games as well. Have a look at the web pages and documentation, they are generally quite straightforward. You can also read reviews of some of them here: Wired News - Rescue Your Stranded Tunes
YamiPod Mac and Windows Versions
iGadget Windows Only
iPod Access Mac and Windows Versions
PodUtil Mac and Windows Versions
iPodCopy Mac and Windows Versions
TuneJack Windows Only
CopyPod Windows Only
If your iPod is set to update automatically take care when connecting back to your computer and an empty iTunes. You will get a message that your iPod is linked to a different library and asking if you want to link to this one and replace all your songs etc, press "Cancel". Pressing "Erase and Sync" will irretrievably remove all songs from your iPod. Your iPod should appear in the iTunes source list from where you can change the update setting to manual and use your iPod without the risk of accidentally erasing it. Also when using a lot of the utilities your iPod needs to be enabled for disc use, changing to manual update will do this by default. Check the "manually manage music and videos" box in Summary then press the Apply button: Managing content manually on iPod
Whichever of these retrieval methods you choose, keep your iPod in manual mode until you have reloaded your iTunes and you are happy with your playlists etc then it will be safe to return it auto-sync again. I would also advise that you get yourself an external hard drive and back your stuff up in case you have problems again. External drives are comparatively inexpensive these days and you can get loads of storage for a reasonable outlay.

My safari menu bar is missing --the menu bar for desktop, HD, and apps appears, but when I click on Safari, it disappears, so I can no longer see my buttons for History, etc. I think my husband (pc user) clicked it away. Any ideas how to retrieve it?

My safari menu bar is missing. The menu bar for desktop, HD, and apps appears, but when I click on Safari, it disappears, so I can no longer see my buttons for History, etc. I think my husband (pc user) clicked it away when borrowing my computer. Any ideas how to retrieve it? Thanks.

I too was having the same problem However, I could access both the menu bar and the dock by hovering my mouse over them so it wasn't a huge problem but I prefered having it there anyway. I was not in full screen mode and I could still go into full screen mode if I wanted to. I found the easiest solution was to just quit safai and restart it, but it might not work for you considering you couldn't access you menu bar either way.
I found this article that allows you to hide/show the menu bar and the dock through TextEdit (didn't work for me) http://www.mactricksandtips.com/2009/07/hide-the-menubar-or-dock-in-specific-app s.html It is pretty old so it might not work for lion and a bit risky if you don't know what you're doing so I wouldn't really recommend doing it this way.
And KSheppard, I know it's not really any of my buisness, but the way to get answers to a question isn't by insulting others and being quick-tempered. Even if you feel like you were insulted first, don't try snapping at people who aren't obligated to help you. Honestly, it just makes everything easier if everybody is cooperative and polite.

How to I copy my iTunes library onto an SD card in the same format such as artists, albums playlists etc on a Mac?

HHi,
i am trying to copy my iTunes library onto an SD card so that I can put it in my Audi A4 with the MMI. Is there any way of doing the transfer on iTunes but keeping the structure of iTunes, such as with albums, artists, playlists etc?
THanks in advane
Tom

Files are not copied to drives in a particular order. How they appear on a card depends upon how you have your computer set to display them. If I view a card with files and I have clicked the column header for "file modified date" then it will display in that order. The only time the copying of the files across to a flash drive will influence how your music appears in your player is if the player uses the file names to display the file order, with possibly some extra structure added using folders. If it reads the data inside the files then it will display them pretty much as iTunes would use them and how exactly they are displayed will depend upon how the player actually works. The other way (as I have already said) is if the player uses a special file to tell it how it should order the files on the display. When I last rented a new car it simple read the data inside the files as iTunes does and if a humble Ford Focus can do that then I suspect that is how Audi does it. If it is not doing this then maybe your files do not contain the data, or your simply have not read the special manual for the MMI that I see on Audi's website it provides to its owners and discovered how to set the view order.
Since nobody has seen to it I have been bestowed with an Audi you may have to wait for another Audi owner to answer this, or perhaps do some investigating yourself. If you type "Audi MMI A4" into a web search it will lead you to a bunch of videos on Audi's web site on how to use the MMI. My computer is old and my connection speed is slow so I absolutely hate instructional videos online and I will let you plow through them to see if any provide the information you need.
My understanding from Phil0124 statement is it is simply telling you to copy all the files in the Media folder to the card.
When I cut and paste the iTunes library onto my SD card, it put all of songs in a strange order. It had all of some number 1 from all the albums, then song 2, etc. It didn't keep them in album / artist setup. For some reason it won't copy over in the same structure.
Is this how you are seeing it when viewed on your computer, or is this how you are seeing it in the MMI? If that is how you are seeing it on the computer, forget it, or do as Phil01234 says and drag across folders from the main Media folder in the iTunes folder.
By the way, on a Mac to copy files from one drive to another you simply drag them, no copy and paste.

Landline - No Dialtone all of a sudden, never a problem for 14yrs... before now

I have a landline with Verizon. I live in Saratoga N.Y. and have had the same landline here for 14 years, without a problem...before today (Approx.). Even when the powers' been out, at least the phone would work (which is why I have a land line). Today, when I went to make a call, I picked up the phone, and there was only a very faint "hum", and no dialtone. Thinking something may just have happened to one of my jacks (or wires to it), I went and tried the other jack in my home, but the same problem was there too. I tried a different phone, angain also trying both jacks...same problem.Went to check the NID box outside** on the corner of the house, also same problem there, too. I then went to my neighbor, and checked to see if they had any problem, they did not.
**(NID box was a little different than shown, it had no jacks plugged into the receptacles...only a pair of wires going to red + green plastic screws right next to the receptacles). I know in the past it had the plus is described, but I have not seen the inside of that box in several years, and don't remember anyone coming to change anything. Not sure why they are not there now...
I just sent in a Repair Request Online, since it's the only means at my disposal now. Once it was submitted, it's status said (online) it should be repaired 2 days from now.
I am disabled, house-bound, and with no way to go anyplace. And now without a phone, I can't even make calls to make transportation arrangements, get perscriptions called in for refills, etc..... all of which I needed to get done today and tomorrow, naturally. (No, no cell phone, can't afford it, and that type of service has not been good in this area in the past, anyways).
I also don't understand why I would have a problem with a landline like this, when it's not affecting others nearby. Nothing has happened at my house (storm, utility work, etc.) to cause that kind of problem. I am also wondering if the Online Repair Request will be enough to get someone to fix it, since I have no way to be contacted without the phone working?
And lastly, When I checked the Status Online, it said something like "The number reported is part of an outage", which makes me wonder if that's just a standard "status reply"....otherwise, how it could be "part of an outage", if no one else next to me is having the same problem(s)???

Do not wait for the automated online ticket... especially if you have no other way of being gotten ahold of

Server 2008R2 mapping to shared folders fails users of Windows 8.1 but seems OK on Windos 8.0 and no problems for Windows 7

Having read what I could from the related questions, the answers still elude me. This issue apparently is specific to Windows 8.1.
First, a little background.
1: The server is not on a domain, The system runs Server 2008-R2 standard with all folders shared across a standard "Workgroup" type network. They would prefer to
leave this layout intact.
2: The shared folders are nothing but Data files. There are no active system folders or anything used in an "active" environment. They are mostly Word doc, excel
files, pdf, txt, etc. However, due to the requirements of the software that needs to access these files, they Must
reside on a mapped network drive letter. Nothing else works due to the way the SQL database program stores the reference points back to the data.
I have had some success using what amounts to a “simulated” mapping using WebDAV to access the server. But access speed is a lot slower ad file size is limited.
3: The system has been configured as-is for the past 3 years with Users all on Windows 7 x64 (mixed OS, some Home Premium, some Professional) and the only problems that come up are when
access is through an ISP that blocks port 445. This was the original reason for finding a WebDAV/Cloud method just for those Users since they were unable to Map drives to anything on the Office Servers from their Home Internet even when using a VPN.
When Windows 8.0 became the only version available, I added a few users whose new laptops came with 8.0 from the vendors. While there were a very few minor problems, for all practical
purposes, I was still able to provide access to the mapped folders.
As the Windows 8.1 roll-out progressed, some users were successfully upgraded while others are still stuck in Windows 8.0. The issues with this seem to be hardware related and vary
depending on the Make and model of the laptop. I have been assured that eventually all of these will be able to advance to 8.1. But this delay has given me an excellent mixed OS environment for testing.
On the users who have not yet purchased new equipment and who are still using Windows 7. There has been no change. Their drive mapping is stable and they can always connect as usual.
Those blocked from lack of port 445 or still blocked. Systems inside the Office and those with ISP's who allow port 445 can use all mapped drives as normal.
Users who had Windows 8.0 and who have not yet been able to upgrade to 8.1 also have been unaffected. Same results as Windows 7.
Users who got the Windows 8.1 upgrade as well as those that came factory loaded with Windows 8.1 seem to be a never-ending list of problems. The ones that came native with 8.1 are worst
of all. The list of error codes runs through everything that has to do with “communication with the server”. As far as I have seen, this appears to be the issue.
Whether they are in the office on a wired network connection or at home on a Wi-Fi connection, the issues have the same results but the actual error codes may vary slightly. All of
them refer back to an inability to communicate with the server.
Nothing on the server has changed in any way. Users with Windows 7 continue to have zero problems, Users with Windows 8.0 seem to be doing fine as well. Only those with Windows
8.1 are affected and their problems are dramatic with everything from a total loss of drive mapping to misdirected data when the maps are active.
I have tried to make the drives automatically remap on reboot. I have tried registry modifications. I have done everything I can think of to make a difference but the results are the same
for every system using 8.1. The mapped drive letters invariably disappear. Sometimes while the system is in use ( I think I have been able to trace this to times when the system enters Sleep or Hibernate) but always when the system reboots.
One detail that might point to somewhere is that the "time to connect" when mapping the drive is so long that I believe some of the original failures were due to not waiting for a
minimum of 3 or 4 minutes to give time for the Shares to show-up in order to map them. Once the mapping is successful, the file access speed seems normal. But invariably, the drive becomes "unmapped" repeatedly each day.
I know this was a long question but I have tried to provide every possible detail for anyone who has experienced events like this who may already have a solution. I would even be glad
to purchase a 3rd party application if that is what it takes to get this to work. My next planned effort is to try using Server 2013 but I am afraid that might open another can of worms for those who still use Windows 7.
I have also been told that this is in some way related to the push to "Cloud" support in Windows 8.1 OS but I do not see where this would come in. I can say that this was the
one place where things continued to work as before. People who had Windows 8.1 and who had to use the CLOUD copies of our data are still able to connect to it with no problems.
Any suggestions appreciated. Preferably those that would not need extensive changes to the basic network structure. This "workgroup" consists of less than 25 users and any
extreme measures would be hard to justify

Hi，
I sugget you try to ping server so that we can verify the connectivity.
Can windows 8.1 access Windows Server 2008R2?
Also,please check the event viewer to see if some error log appeared when the issue occurred.

Possible memory timing problem

Hello, I hope you all can help me. I have been wrestling with this problem for about two weeks and have not been able to fix it.
I recently upgraded my system by adding another gig of memory, setting up a raid array, and adding a X-fi Extreme Music card. Before the upgrade my system ran smoothly for about 10 months. After the upgrade it randomly freezes - the system locks up and won't take any more input from the mouse or keyboard. The only way to recover is to hold the power button down for a few seconds. After that it boots normally and runs perfectly until the next freeze. The freeze can happen at any time, in any application, while the system is idle, or even during bootup. I thought for a long time it was the sound card, but now I suspect my memory timings are off. The problem is, I can't figure out how to adjust them in the BIOS.
My system is this:
CPU: AMD Athalon 64 3500+
Motherboard: K8N Neo2 - Bios 1.B
Memory: 4 sticks of Corair Value Select PC 3200 DDR-400 - 512 meg each
Video: ATI Radon X800 Pro
HD: 2X 74gig Raptors in a raid array (striping)
The only PCI card is the soundcard: Creative X-Fi Extreme Music
Power: Antec Neo Power 480
OS: Windows XP, SP2
I think that's everything, if I am missing something, please let me know. I have run Microsoft's memory test utility overnight, and it has checked out. The memory timing should be 3-3-3-8, but I can't figure out how to set that in the Bios. Also, is there a change I should be making for going from two sticks to four? I don't overclock or anything.
I have been trying to figure this out on my own, but I am coming up short. Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks in advance
Claudius

Hi Claudius. Welcome to the forum. Here are a few tips that will make it easier for you to get help here. Create a sig as described in the forum rules (hint-use profile button in sign-on screen) which will locate all the info about your system in a convenient place at the bottom of each post like I have. It's the same info about your system that you posted in your first post, but having it there in each post makes everyone's life easier. Also indicate whether you have AMD Venice 3500+ (which I think you have).
Timings terminology. It gets confusing because memory specs are listed in different orders when people refer to them, in bios and in post screen. First number should be cas latency (Tcl). Then Ras# to Cas# delay (Trcd). Then Row Precharge Time (Trp). Min Ras# Active time (Tras) is last number although post screen puts it next to last.
Tcl-cas=3
Trcd=3
Trp=3
Tras=8
That's what bios using serial prescence detect (SPD) should pick up under auto for your ram. I doubt bios detected and used Tras 3 like you thought as it would not boot with Tras 3.
Get CPU-Z online for a great tool that gives you a lot of memory info. It shows a lot of info about your chip too. I suspect timings were detected properly or else your machine would not have booted and run.
After you added more identical memory (corsair value select) your machine apparently booted and ran with 2 gigs of ram, at least that is what appears from your post. Microsoft's memory test said things are good. (Don't know what that test is, and if you really want to test it you should use Memtest available online to make a bootable floppy and test memory for about 1 hour.) However, it sounds like your memory is ok and you have some kind of sound card interrupt (IRQ conflict). Did you disable on board sound in bios since you are using a sound card? Try that if you can. If you still get lockups with onboard sound disabled and sound card working, try removing sound card and seeing whether system still locks up.
Good luck.
Edit- In re-reading your post, it may be that system detected Tras 7 instead of Tras 8. You can manually set tras 8 in the bios if you want to, but use CPU-Z first and check CPU-Z memory tab (to see what system is using) and CPU-Z SPD tab (to see what your ram is telling your system to use). I think you will find both are 3,3,3,8. If not, you can always change Tras to 8 in bios and leave everything else on auto. However, you could also change dramm voltage for memory in bios to 2.7 volts without doing anything any harm and this could help memory if you are really having a memory (as opposed to IRQ conflict) problem.

Select Problem For 'Back Menus' - Zen V P

Just got the Zen V Plus and tried to set the time/date. Followed the 'guide' and after the time/date screen pressed the 'back button'. Got the Set Alarm/Date/Time (etc) menu but when I selected an option (moved joystick down to desired option then pressed the joystick) the time/date display came up and I was NOT ABLE to set the date. Same thing occurred trying to set the date (tried it several times and it worked once .... then attempted again - several times (4) but it only worked once). Turns out I have the same problem with any option in ANY 'back' menu. Suggestion?
Do I have a defecti've unit (can't be the 'operator' who is defecti've! haha)? Should I return it and try another?
Actually not that interested in playing music .... it's more for playing .wma(DRM) book files.

Latest ... updated my firmware (to ZENVPlus_PCFW_P4S_L2___0.exe) and it fixed the select problem for SET DATE/TIME etc however
the SELECT procedure doesn't always work for 'back button' menus. Example: tried to set a bookmark... following procedure in 'guide', pressed 'back button' and held it, from 'NOW PLAYING' screen - works 2 out of 5 times. Most of the time, pressing and holding takes you back to the previous menu - not to the 'back' (or in this case the SET BOOKMARK) menu. Sounds like something for the next version of firmware ... the code doesn't always set an internal timer correctly (am a programmer of 30 years ... part of that time pgmmng firmware).

I'm having a problem syncing playlists and manually adding music

I've been having this problem for awhile, but it's become more pronounced now that I'm trying to add outside mp3's saved to my itunes library to my iphone. I've followed the directions to add music manually and I check the playlist I want added to my phone when I sync, but it never adds it. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

You cannot sync and manually manage.
Are you syncing or manually managing?
