Unique Transfer/Merge problem

Hi to all,
I have an iMac which has all of my music automatically copied into itunes when dragged there, meaning my itunes folder contains all my itunes music. It is taking up a large portion of my HD and I have an additional 500MB external HD which contains a lot of music I did not put in my iTunes due to space limitations.
What I would like to do is to make an itunes library on the external hard drive which will contain all of the local itunes' current library, as well as add all the new music from the external to the new library (preferably in the same iTunes folder setup, without having to duplicate the tracks-- for space reasons).
I like iTunes "organizing" my music and generally I like it when iTunes duplicates any music dragged into it, but for this specific scenario, all I really want is to add the new music to the itunes library without it having to duplicate all the dragged tracks and go over the possible space I have for it.
Any Ideas?
Regards,
Prawser

First consolidate your iTunes library. Go to Files>Library>Organize Library. Quit iTunes. Then transfer the entire iTunes folder (in your Music folder) to the external hard drive. Open iTunes with the option key down. Click Choose Library. Navigate to the external hard drive. Now your iTunes library is in the external drive.

  • Contribute CS4 and CS5 file transfer (publish) problem on Windows 7 64 bit

    Have a problem with Contribute CS5 and CS4  on Windows 7 64 bit where upon editing a webiste for example to add a new page (or edit an existing one) and then clicking on "publish" a blank page appears on the website. To explain this further, If i make the required changes to the page and select the option to publish the file later then the file wirtten to the PC appears to be ok and has all the changes, but as soon as I publish it, only a blank page appears on the web server.  ie the upload (ftp) process does happen but the content of the page is being stripped out somewhere during the filt transfer process.
    I have editied the same site with CS4 on windows XP without any problems.
    Any suggestions would be appreciated
    Thank you

  • Email PDF from Mail Merge Problem

    Using a data source of email addresses from Excel 2003 and performing a mail merge in Word 2003 with the Mail Merge to Adobe PDF button, everything worked okay and the emails generated to the outbox in Outlook 2003 with the relevant PDFs attached.  However, once they were mailed the recipients who use Outlook Express had the attachments missing.  I'm using Acrobat 8.1.5
    I've seen previous queries about this and it seems to relate to Outlook using a RTF format.  I set Outlook to default to html and then plain text formats but still had the same problem. Can anyone suggest how I can solve this or if the problem is Outlook related, then another email program that would work without causing this problem (preferable freeware or inexpensive).
    Thanks

    Just an interesting after thought, since you mentioned blocking. Several federal agencies and companies block zip files also. I ran onto a message recently about the university blocking zip files at one time because of a problem. Mail merge files are typically personalized and it would be nice for them to go intact. If they re not personalized, but just being sent in general, then posting the basic file and e-mailing a link might work better. For a lot of things I do, I just use the mail merge that is built into my e-mail client. That creates a mail-merge of messages that are personalized.
    Just thought the blocking comment might be of interest, though I give the same advice. I am not sure how it could be done with zip in a mail merge sense.

  • How can I transfer/merge the backup-data of one iphone onto another iphone?

    I have two iphones and want to merge the backup-data from one to the other without destroying any data on the new one. How can I do it and will this data be replaced automatically or merged?
    Thanks for your help!
    Toni

    As long as you use the same account, you can sync the same apps, contacts, music and other media content. Set up at least one contact and event on your new phone, to be able to merge your contacts and calendars. You can't transfer settings of your 3rd party apps, because this data is stored in your backup, and restoring from your backup will erase your new phone's data.
    See also: "About backups" http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1766
    You can also transfer your mail account settings using the option in the info pane in itunes, as well as the option to replace contacts, calendars, bookmarks and notes during the following sync.

    SD card 4GB Kingston SDHC
    SD card 32GB Lexar SDHC Class 10
    Nikon D5100
    Fry's build desktop with Windows 7 Home Edition
    Files type:
    *.jpg
    Desired outcome:
    Transfer *.jpg images from desktop to SD card to iPad for use Photos (camera roll)
    Successes:
    iPad recognizes and displays *.jpg created in-camera.
    Problem statement:
    File origin: all image files created with camera listed above.
    Files created in camera (*.jpg & *.NEF (RAW), then transferred to desktop.  *.NEF files converted to *.jpg.  Reload files to SD card in *.jpg format only, iPad does not see / display images to be imported from SD card to iPad.
    Problem resolution attempts:
    Format SD card using desktop, result - iPad does not recognize SD card
    Format SD card using camera, result - iPad recognizes SD card
    Try a different SD card (used two, see equipment above)
    Test shot photo (*.jpg) in camera work only (no transfer to desktop), result iPad recognizes and displays image
    For *.jpgs on desktop
    1st convert file names to same nomenclature (system of names) created by camera (DSC_001.jpg) (DSC underscore 3 digits file extension).
    2nd load file into same folder that was created by camera on SD cards, result displayed one desktop originating test photo once only.  Subsequent attempts failed.
    No difference in performance between the 2 SD cards.  In camera work displays but not transfer files from desktop to SD card
    E-mail photos (15) to personal e-mail, open file with internet, copy to iPad, result iPad copies, loads, and displays images in camera roll.  I used same images I loaded to SD from desktop in attempt to keep everything equal.
    Side note: I received a notification (push to my device) to from Apple to update software.  The operating system was updated to what I have now.  I don't recall if the one success I listed above was before or after the OS update.
    Discussion
    Lighning cable advertised as useful in transfering images (pictures) to iPad.  I read prior to purchase what image files were supported.  I began with high hopes, and now I'm very deflated.
    I've hacked and hacked and tried and read and tried and... I can't solve this problem.
    A resolution (without additional expenditures) is greatly appreciated.  Thank you in advance to everyone for your consideration and help.

    There's a step by step in the manual
    http://support.apple.com/manuals/
    There is no specific naming convention beyond must be in the DCIM folder and  must have 8 character names. myphotos.jpg for example.
    I've successfully used SD cards to import videos off my computer onto my iPad, they just have to be named right.
    The reason for the work arounds is, in Apple's work flow, you use the camera kit only to interface with your camera, if you want to import from your computer, you use iTunes. So that's the methods they favor. Transferring from your computer to a card to your iPad via the kit is a non-supported work around, which is why you have to basically fool the iPad into thinking those images came directly from the camera.

  • Document merge problem due to embedded fonts

    I am trying to merge 6 single page pdf documents into one pdf file.
    I am receiving this error on two of the six docs:
    "These documents contain subset fonts that have the same name and cannot be merged"
    Can anyone help me work through this issue?
    I am working with Adobe Acrobat 5.0.5 10/26/2001
    Thank you
    Joe

    I have exactly the same problem. How do I turn the subset off? Ticking off the option with percentages doesn't help.. What else could cause the problem? Please help, it's pretty urgent!

  • Mail Merge problem with Word 2007

    I recently replaced my laptop and installed Office 2007.  When I try to create mailing labels, it is only merging the first three labels and those are not formatted correctly or even consistently.  It seems like a compatibility problem, but my
    excel document was also created in Excel 2007. I was using Office 2007 on my old laptop and never had this problem. 

    Julie,
    I don't think I'm having the same problem. You'll want to closely examine the links to be sure that you have selected Work phone and Work address, etc. for the merge, then make sure that in your Address Book you've also used the Work identifier for these fields.
    I suppose that you know that you can merge one or more records at a time by dragging your Contact Card(s) into the Merge document. That might be a good troubleshooting tool.

  • OO ALV Cell Merge Problem when editable fields

    Hi there!
    I'm using OO ALV ( CL_GUI_ALV_GRID ) and experiencing a strange problem.
    I'm interested in the cells merging functionality of ALV, when i sort data for a specific field.
    It works fine but only if i do not set any field as editable ( lvc_s_fcat-edit = 'X' ).
    For some reason ALV loses some of its functionality when you set a field as editable.
    I've noticed it also with the functionality of expanding/supressing data when using subtotals.
    If any field is set as editable then subtotals come always expanded, you cannot supress them...
    Has anyone else experienced somethng like this before? Any help will be appreciated!

  • HELP: AVCHD Log & Transfer idle problem for iMac 27"

    I just bought an Apple iMac 27" but I cannot do a Log & Transfer.
    I used the same SDHC card that I log & transfer succesfully in the old 24" iMac.
    But when I did a Log & Transfer in the new 27" iMac, I got into this:
    1) FCE4 can detect the card & show all the thumbnails without problem.
    2) When I drag a clip into the bottom or click add to queue, it says transferring clip#6 .... but the progress bar didn't move ...
    3) after a while, it says 1 clip idle ....
    what happen ? how come the clip#6 cannot be imported ? I tried all the clips, but faced with the same problem, it ended up says idle but nothing was transferred to the browser !!
    Any ideas ?
    Thanks

    ok guys,
    problem resolved by doing this:
    1) right click on the clip
    2) goto preference after right clicking on the clip
    3) Under AVCHD plugin > AC-3 > Plain Sound
    I dunno why it works but after changing from the default Matrix Sound to Plain Sound, it can import so fast ! This new iMac 27" is so much faster than my old 24" iMac ...
    If Matrix sound doesn't work why is it there in the first place ?
    Cheers

  • CS4 file merging problem

    Hi Everyone,
    I hope somebody can help me with this one.
    I have 2 sites each with it's own root folder, each was started as it's own site using it's own the selected root folder.
    The 2 sites share the same template, with the same spry assets, menu bar etc...
    2 problems,
    First, Somehow the files are "merging" in DW on me, so that when I make a change on one template it changes the template in the other root folder for the other separately designated site.
    Both sets of files were stored on my desktop, so I copied one set of files to my documents and in doing so it changed some things around, which leads to my second problem(s)
    One template lost the banner, footer, and side bar images that I had inserted (not a big deal to restore)
    The other template in the other root folder lost the code for the spry tabbed panel that I had inserted and I'm not sure how to get that back in.
    Can somebody please help me with this?
    Thanks
    Mike

    Mike
    As a guess, it could be that you are working in both sites at the same time, and DW has a hard time with that.  If you are going to work on site A, then in your Files Panel, it must be Site A listed in the drop down box.  Other wise you may be saving a file for Site A in Site B, and from there the calamity just exculates.
    But that is just a guess.

  • Transfer posting problem in  material

    Hi Experts,
    Whenever we receive any  material ( quality rejection from
    plant A) at location  X in film plant A, we can not do Transfer
    posting of this material to crushing area ( location Y in plant A).
    While doing Transfer posting we get an error " Pallet -
    not consumed
    entirely ".
    We can not transfer this material to any other location.
    What could be the problem?
    Lokesh

    Hi,
    From the message it seems like in your system some message is activated. this might be due to the requirement was given that entire batch is to be consumed and partial is not allowed. please check this it should have been done through user exit or by some enhancement.

  • Primary key, unique key impdp problem

    Hi, during my impdp I came across problems with constraints being violated. So I disabled all constraints in a proper order. It didn't help. There are still the same errors. I checked some individual constraints that were problematic and it turned out that they were all disabled as I expected. I don't understand why datapump still shows these errors despite constraints are DISABLED.

    But if the unique index exists on the target table it does not matter if the PK is disabled or not. You would need to drop the index; however, this shows you have a data problem.
    Why do you have duplicate keys? If you import duplicates then rebuilding the unique index would result in an error.
    Do you need to truncate or drop some of the target tables before importing?
    These are points I raised in my first response and which you have not addressed in your answer.

    My problem is why PO is not create automatically after I approved SC.
    Now I have to run FM SPOOL_PO_CREATE manually everytime whether I need to create a backend PO.
    Please help me.
    Thank you in advance
    Regards,
    Theerat

    Hi Theerat,
    OK, the control parameter settings seem to be good.
    There are a lot of steps in the transfer, therefore is hard to say where exactly the error could happen. Maybe it would be easier to check the recieved BAPI data of the backend PO. If you execute this BAPI in the backend, there will a message appear with the error.
    For creating this test data in the BAPI_PO_CREATE1, please do the following:
    Activate the FBGENDAT for the BAPI_PO_CREATE1 (or BAPI_REQUISITION_CREATE if the follow-on document should be a PR) as in the note 539978 described, and send a new SC into the backend to fill the test data. As in the note described, please:
    - set the Parameter FBGENDAT 'X' in the backend system for the RFC user of the SRM system
    - execute the report FBGENDAT for the BAPI_PO_CREATE1 in the mode 'A' or 'B'.
    - Start the SC transfer from the SRM system by creating a new shopping cart, and check whether a test data record was generated in the Function Builder (SE37) of the backend system for the BAPI_PO_CREATE1.
    - Deactivate the generation of test data records by deleting the entries in report FBGENDAT and resetting the user parameter.
    Execute the BAPI_PO_CREATE1 with the created test data (you need to doubleclick into the test data and F8), and check what is filled into the parameter RETURN.
    Have a luck!
    Regards,
    Peter
