Transferring library from pc; duplicate files and missing playlist
I know this can't be a new topic but I'm having trouble finding a solution. I am very frustrated as I've been working all morning on this and I suspect there is an easy solution.
My new i-mac arrived yesterday. I'm transferring my itunes library from a pc. I have my entire hard drive backed up on an external drive.
I have copied the music from the external hard drive to the imac, then imported the music into itunes. No matter how I approach this I end up with duplicate copies of every song in tunes and no playlists. I've tried copying just the file I thought controlled playlists, I get the playlist name but a message that songs were not imported b/c they could not be found.
Is there an easier way to tackle this? Thanks.
I figured this out on my own. Closing out.

in imovie11 the finished film shows up in the events library but the project file is missing. A complete search of hard drive fails to find it. Any way to reconstruct the project file from the finished film? I need to re-edit the movie.
Thanks for the info. I do have the Aperture 2 disc so I'll re-install and repair library then give it a go again. It will probably take a few days as I have a HUGE library. I'll let you know the outcome when it completes! Thanks again for the help.

I have copied my music library from two different files from extewrnal hard drive into the Itunes folder. I tunes only recognizes some of the songs. I have reloaded 5 times and can't get intunes to recognize all my songs? HELP!
" When I did this, my library showed all the music I have "purchased" from itunes but did not have the music that I downloaded a long time ago through itunes from my old CDs."
Correct.
" How can I get that music to show up in my library now on my new computer? "
Copy it from your old computer or your backup copy of your old computer.
The sync is one way - computer to ipod. -
How to delete duplicate files and fix borken links
Problem: Duplicate Files and Broken Links
Involves 2 IBM ThinkPads (1) one main partition (system driveC:) running Windows XP SP3, (2) running Windows 7 and with two partitions - Drive C: has the library while drive D:contains the “itunes media” folder.
Issues:
On both laptops, the iTunes media folder contains duplicatecopies of purchased songs and movies (some purchased prior to iTunes 9),imported or ripped songs from CDs, and redeemed digital copies of movies. EverythingI have tried results in broken links and duplicate files. Is there a method or aprogram which will allow me to disentangle this mess? I have spent hoursdeleting files, not using the iTunes “copy” function and so on but the problemcontinues. At times I simply run out of disc space and simply have to start theprocess all over again. I have spoken to someone in Apple’s iTunes tech supportand was told this was a “windows” problem?!?
Any suggestions or advice that would help me to untanglethis mess would be greatly appreciated. Is taking the ThinkPads to a PC repairshop the only answer? How would they fix the problem?

Thanks 'turingtest2' for your suggestion. I know the location of the files, but iTunes keeps duplicating them as soon as I launch iTunes.
You know the location of your file, but it sounded like iTunes doesn't. The FindTracks script is designed to fix the broken links.
I doubt uninstalling and reinstalling will change anything. Uninstalling iTunes does not affect the contents of your media library or media folders, the files stay put.
iTunes shouldn't generate much in the way of new files just through launching it... Exceptions include artwork files for tracks it knows it has yet to scan and any downloads related to podcast subscriptions.
The only other thing I can think of would be some sort of error with the Automatically add to iTunes folder. Any files that are in there should be moved to their normal locations within the media folder layout, not copied, and then added to the library. I suppose the processing order could be add, then move, and if for some reason the move fails then next time you start up iTunes they could be added again. So do you have any files in the Automatically add to iTunes folder? If not is there any other pattern you can see to this duplication? Do you have any software that tries to add files to iTunes automatically?
Actually, and in a similar vein, does this duplication happen on both machines or just the Windows 7 one? Vista introduced new "default" locations for user profiles plus a bunch of symbolic links that automagically redirect attempts by older software to look for things in the default XP locations. As a result your Music folder, for example, can appear at multiple locations within the tree of folders on your C: drive. I suppose it is just possible that some form of recursive nightmare could be going on there.
FWIW it is much easier to manage a self-contained library where the media folder is inside the library folder.

Hi, I tried to restore my itunes library from an external drive and did everything that's written here step by step. when I chose the itunes library to import itunes just said that its accessing the itunes store but nothing happened. Does anyone know how to do this so that all my playlists are also imported and not just the music itself?
When I have done this, all I did was network the two machines and copy the contents of the iTunes folder to the other machine, and that's it.
My understanding (which may not be 100% correct) is that the one file that is absolutely necessary is iTunes Library, and that the XML file is actually a copy auto-generated from the iTunes Library, appearing in a different format only for non-iTunes apps that take advantage of the iTunes Library data.
As far as I know, if you simply have the Library (database) file and all your original music files, iTunes on that computer should operate as it did on your old computer. I believe that the Album Artwork, Genius Data, and XML files can be regenerated from the Library file. Not sure about the Extras file. -

There are so many things wrong with this VI, I'm not even sure where to start.
Hard-coding paths that point to your user folder on the block diagram. What if somebody else tries to run it? They'll get an error. What if somebody tries to run this on Windows 7? They'll get an error. What if somebody tries to run this on a Mac or Linux? They'll get an error.
Not using Read From Spreadsheet File.
Use of local variables to populate an array.
Cannot insert values into an empty array.
What if there's a line missing from the text file? Now your data will not line up. Your case structure does handle this.
Also, how does this answer the poster's question? -
I have a VI and an attched .txt data file. Now I want to read the data from the .txt file and display it as an array in the front panel. But the result is not right. Any help?
Attachments:
try2.txt 2 KB
read_array.vi 21 KBThe problem is in the delimiters in your text file. By default, Read From Spreadsheet File.vi expects a tab delimited file. You can specify a delimiter (like a space), but Read From Spreadsheet File.vi has a problem with repeated delimiters: if you specify a single space as a delimiter and Read From Spreadsheet File.vi finds two spaces back-to-back, it stops reading that line. Your file (as I got it from your earlier post) is delimited by 4 spaces.
Here are some of your choices to fix your problem.
1. Change the source file to a tab delimited file. Your VI will then run as is.
2. Change the source file to be delimited by a single space (rather than 4), then wire a string constant containing one space to the delimiter input of Read From Spreadsheet File.vi.
3. Wire a string constant containing 4 spaces to the delimiter input of Read From Spreadsheet File.vi. Then your text file will run as is.
Depending on where your text file comes from (see more comments below), I'd vote for choice 1: a tab delimited text file. It's the most common text output of spreadsheet programs.
Comments for choices 1 and 2: Where does the text file come from? Is it automatically generated or manually generated? Will it be generated multiple times or just once? If it's manually generated or generated just once, you can use any text editor to change 4 spaces to a tab or to a single space. Note: if you want to change it to a tab delimited file, you can't enter a tab directly into a box in the search & replace dialog of many programs like notepad, but you can do a cut and paste. Before you start your search and replace (just in the text window of the editor), press tab. A tab character will be entered. Press Shift-LeftArrow (not Backspace) to highlight the tab character. Press Ctrl-X to cut the tab character. Start your search and replace (Ctrl-H in notepad in Windows 2000). Click into the Find What box. Enter four spaces. Click into the Replace With box. Press Ctrl-V to paste the tab character. And another thing: older versions of notepad don't have search and replace. Use any editor or word processor that does. -

I need to read data from a text file and display it in a datagrid.how can this be done..please help
hey ppl
i have a datagrid in my form.i need to read input(fields..sort of a database) from a text file and display its contents in the datagrid.
how can this be done.. and also after every few seconds reading event should be re executed.. and that the contents of the datagrid will keep changing as per the changes in the file...
please help as this is urgent and important.. if possible please provide me with an example code as i am completely new to flex...
thanks.....It's not possible to read from a file without using classes from the core API*. You'll have to get clarification from your instructor as to which classes are and are not allowed.

How do I stop Windows 7 from searching hidden files and folders
In XP it was simple with the intuitive Advanced Search Options.
Even if you enable "Don't show Hidden Files and Folders" in Windows 7, they still show up in the search menu. A similar post included a suggestion by a support dude to post a question here. I've searched for every possible solution and yet something so simple appears to be non existent. Has Microsoft just lost its mind with omitting this feature? Is this something that will never be solved? Indexed or not, hidden files and folders still appear in Search.
Thankswhat have you setup in Explorer->Organize->Folder & Search Options?
Don't show hidden and Hide: Empty, Protected, etc. all ticked
if you have at some stage indexed all those system folders, and subsquently removed those from the index scope, then you may need to rebuild the index so those results are not presented by searches?
i've assumed that you are getting things like \windows included, and this seems to be typical. perhaps because some common tools like notepad, wordpad etc reside in those folders.
have you checked out the Indexing Options?
from memory, "don't show hidden & system" really only obscures the stuff when you're browsing in explorer. the indexing engine doesn't respect that kind of setting. you'll need to get your indexing scope worked out to affect the search results presented.
I'm not concerned much with indexing, it's just amazing that there is no option to stop "Search" from searching hidden files and folders when "Don't show hidden" is checked - the way it was with XP, etc. As I understand it whether folder is indexed or not, will not stop "SEARCH" from searching them. It was quite simple in XP but in Windows 7 it seems it is impossible. -
Hi,
I have created a pdf from a word-file and inserted formfields for a work related file. I've used nitro pro to create the formfield. They works in nitro, reader, foxit etc. but not adobe reader. From page 3 and out, the font wont show when writing in a formfield. Some formfield doesnt even show.
Please help me fix this (hopefully before the presentation at work friday) :-)
File in question: Dropbox - Byggeplassperm_bico_prosjektledelse_2.pdf
Kind regards
TobiasAgreed. Adobe makes no claims that their Reader will work properly with forms made from third party software.

Reading integers from a .txt file and computing means
I have a program that uses for loops to produce ten integers (1-10) are returns the average mean, geometric mean, and harmonic mean.
Now i need to change this program to read integers from a .txt file and return the same data. Basically i need to change my for statements that are incrementing to read the text file.
Thanks guys.You haven't asked a question. You haven't posted code. What are you expecting here?
But I guess I'll take a stab at it and say you should look at the Scanner class
http://java.sun.com/javase/6/docs/api/java/util/Scanner.html
or BufferedReader

Reading from a text file and displaying the contents with in a frame
Hi All,
I am trying to read some data from a text file and display it on a AWT Frame. The contents of the text file are as follows:
pcode1,pname1,price1,sname1,
pcode2,pname2,price2,sname1,
I am writing a method to read the contents from a text file and store them into a string by using FileInputStream and InputStreamReader.
Now I am dividing the string(which has the contents of the text file) into tokens using the StringTokenizer class. The method is as show below
void ReadTextFile()
FileInputStream fis=new FileInputStream(new File("nieman.txt"));
InputStreamReader isr=new InputStreamReader(fis);
char[] buf=new char[1024];
isr.read(buf,0,1024);
fstr=new String(buf);
String Tokenizer st=new StringTokenizer(fstr,",");
while(st.hasMoreTokens())
pcode1=st.nextToken();
pname1=st.nextToken();
price1=st.nextToken();
sname1=st.nextToken();
} //close of while loop
} //close of methodHere goes my problem: I am unable to display the values of pcode1,pname1,price1,sname1 when I am trying to access them from outside the ReadTextFile method as they are storing "null" values . I want to create a persistent string variable so that I can access the contents of the string variable from anywhere with in the java file. Please provide your comments for this problem as early as possible.
Thanks in advance.If pcode1,pname1,price1,sname1 are global variables, which I assume they are, then simply put the word static in front of them. That way, any class in your file can access those values by simply using this notation:
MyClassName.pcode1;
MyClassName.pname1;
MyClassName.price1;
MyClassName.sname1 -
Java files from a EAR file and from inner (inside EAR)
I want to read all Java files from a EAR file and from inner (inside EAR) EAR or WAR file with out unpacking.
suppose "Demo.ear" contaions the following files:
abc.java
programs / a.java
programs / b.java
src / index.java
src / com / myFolder / main.java
src.war
and suppose "src.war" again contains some java files inside differenet folders.
The main problem is that i can read all java files from "Demo.ear" but unable to reading from "src.war" b'coz my program is using JarFile class constructor which needs a archive file path, So only top level archive having the path but not the inner archives.
So, pls help me out to this problems
Thanks in advanceFirstly Sorry to writing long letter. but i was unable to express my problem.
see my code==============================
JarFile jarFile = new JarFile("Demo.ear");
Enumeration e=jarFile.entries();
while (e.hasMoreElements())
JarEntry entry=(JarEntry)e.nextElement();
if (entry.getName().endsWith(".war"))
// Then what Next to do...........
===========================================
you have mentioned "theFile" , What is this?...............
InputStream in = theFile.getInputStream(theEntryOfTheWAR);
This line is not a compatible type casting in Java..........
ZipOutputStream theWar = new ZipInputStream(in);
