Using different computer's mp3 files?

I use a Macbook for live musical performances, which has a completely different iTunes library than does my home computer (iMac).  The gig computer is running OSX 10.4 (Tiger).   My iPad is synched to my home computer,'
What I want to have happen is that the iPad iTunes library duplicates that in my live performance computer.   I know that the OS is not compatible, but assuming I had the mp3 library on disc, is there a way to get those files into iTunes on the iPad?
Thanks

Put the files into the
'...  different iTunes library than does my home computer (iMac). '

  • How do i get itunes to scan my computer for mp3 files

    Hello,
    I just got a new computer and I have all my old mp3 files on my disc.  How do I get itunes to scan my drive and import all my 10,000 songs at one time?

    When you first install iTunes, it offers to do a one-time scan of your hard drive.
    If you miss that opportunity, you can add music at any time using the command File > Add Folder to Library.  That command brings up a dialog where you can navigate to the folder you want to add, e.g. My Music.

  • Scan a folder on a different computer for new files

    Hi all,
    I need to scan a folder for new files. I already have a deamon that can do this without a problem. What i need to do, is to scan files on a different computer. The program is going to run on a windows PC and needs to get data from a machine using Unix. I was able to get this done between two windows PC by mapping the drive of the other computer, put i cant do this with Unix.
    I found on the net a class used to make an FTP client(edtftpj-1.5.4). This works fine to get the folder contents once, but it dosen't scan it to see if there are new files. I could of course just loop this FTP client, but this could get very slow if there are to many files in the folder.
    So do you guys know of a way that i could scan this Unix machine for new files?? anything to give me a hint on where to look would be apreciated.
    Thanks in advance
    Alex

    why should we help you make a program that can be used to spy on people, because that's what you're trying to make (even if it's not your current purpose for it, but then it wasn't the purpose of the person who wrote the Michaelangelo virus to write a virus...)?
    It doesn't work on Windows either. As you noted you need to create a drive mapping, which effectively makes the mapped drive available to the other machine as if it were a local drive (applications, including Java applications, don't notice the difference).
    You can install a daemon on Unix machines that allows you to expose drives on them for access over networks as well, similar to what you can do with Windows machines.
    That's your best bet.
    Alternatively you will need to create some sort of server running on the Unix machine which does the work for you and reports the results to your main application on demand through a network connection.

  • Using WMP10 to shrink MP3 files for Nano P

    I have a new Nano Plus and have decided to copy some music to it shrinking the MP3 and WMA files down to 64KBS WMA to save some space. I have used both Zen Nano Explorer and WMP0 to do this. I noticed something with the WMP0 files--some of them are horribly distorted. I am not a picky listener, but these are so bad I deleted all of them. I re-did them using the shrink function built in to Nano Plus Explorer and the resulting files sound fine. The ones I noticed in WMP0 that were REALLY bad started out as high bitrate VBR MP3 files. I suspect this has something to do with it. THe Creative Software, however, was just as fast and did a MUCH better job. The downside of the Creative software, in this case, is it shrinks a file, puts it on the Nano, then if you lose that file on the Nano for some reason you have to shrink another (taking much longer on the file transfer). WMP0 keeps a copy of your shrunken file for re-use. I upgraded my firmware already on the Nano and it erased everything---this is how I found out I had to re-do the whole thing. Since then, I made a backup folder for the whole Nano and put it on my computer. I am not sure about changing the battery and what might happen (thinking this is flash memory, so it should be fine).
    Anyhow, just passing this along as my first really bad experience using WMP0. WMP0 did a fine job of anything that was a high-bitrate WMA file, it was just the MP3 it choked on.

    Instead of dragging and dropping the .mp3 files to your iWeb page (and making them into QT movies), you could just make links on your page either graphics or text and the use the Inspector hyperlink tab to attach the .mp3 files for download.

  • I used different computer for setup when update to different computer all aplication was deleted

    started my iphone4 to different computer administrator for the setup.then when i tried to use my loptop with new update of itunes all applications on my iphone was gone. pls try to advise me for a solution. tnx

    Syncing to a new iTunes library or computer will erase your iPhone. Only if you back up your phone manually before syncing, you can restore your device from that backup again. A manual backup does not include the sync process.
    Do this to move your phone to another computer:
    Disable autosync in iTunes, connect your phone to your new computer and right click on it in the device list and choose backup. iTunes will backup your phone without syncing.
    Transfer your purchases the same way, choosing "transfer purchases" this time.
    When you connect your phone for the first time, all media content will be erased. But you can restore your settings and app data from your manual backup afterwards.
    Don't forget to set up at least one contact and event on your new computer to be able to merge calendars and contacts when you sync the iPhone for the first time.
    Music is one way only, from the computer to your device, unless you bought the songs in iTunes and transferred your purchases.
    There is 3rd party software out there, but not supported by Apple, see this thread: http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=2013615&tstart=0

  • Using iWeb to Share mp3 Files

    I would like to set up a page on a website made with iWeb to which I can post mp3 files of personal recordings of rehearsals I make with my barbershop quartet. I record the rehearsals using a Sony Minidisc recorder. With Garage Band I create a music project with a "Real Instrument" track and record the rehearsal/song into Garage Band. I then send the project to iTunes, and then convert the file into an mp3 file. I've posted these files to my iWeb-created website and published the site. They show up there as Quicktime files though. Although they can be played, they can't be downloaded by my pc friends so that they can burn them to CD's like other mp3 files, for their own reherasal use. Is there a way I can post these mp3 files so that others can download them?
    Thanks..

  • How can i use different computer to manage iPhone?

    I have been using iTunes on a Win7 machine since i had my iPhone4.
    Now, since i have some problems in Win7, i'd like to switch to my Mac mini (mac os x Lion) to manage (sync, backup, update) from now on.
    If i connect, i am not allowed to backup since this is not the computer "attached" to this iPhone. I do have most of the stuff on both machines (music, apps, and so on...)
    How can i change this? Indeed i want to avoid replacing my iPhone content by different things...
    Thanks,
    Robert

    you need to move your iTunes Library from your Windows machine to your Mac.  Apple has iTunes set up so that you can't simply use multiple computers to back up and download files to your phone.  It keeps us honest and doesn't allow you to share music, movies, books etc.
    You should be able to copy your library to a flash drive or DVD on your PC, unless it is really huge.
    Or you can turn on home sharing on both machines and copy your files from the PC to the Mac.

  • Problem in using different format for Image files

    We are generating a report wherein the logo (Image File) is changed with respect to the company's location.
    Here, we are making use of a Text field using a formula column as its source for getting the file path.
    When the Size is kept as "Expand" or "Variable", then, when the image size changes considerably, it gives problem, wherein the logo is not displayed.
    Then we increased the size of the logo field and kept thte size type as Fixed. But the probnlem which we face is because of the .bmp format which the report accepts.
    This is because, when the format type is bmp, upon increasing the resolution or size of the bmp increases the size by several folds( say from 70kb to almost 1000 or 1500kb) which leads to the error "Memory cannot be read" and leads to abrupt application termination.
    Is their any way by which i can make use of GIF format for the image file and at the same time change the file name at runtime.
    Eagarly waiting for an early solution.
    Thanking you in Advance,

    Hi,
    You can only use one Apple ID with iTunes match. Purchasing another match subscription using wife's Apple ID is not a solution. I can only suggest that you use your ID for match and all iTunes music purchases.

  • Safe to update using different computer?

    I'm currently on vacation and the place I'm staying at uses Windows computers, no macs. My phone is usually updated on my MBP. Is it safe to update the OS using a windows computer that is not mine?
    I've already made sure that my phone will not sync and no information will be transferred to the computer itself.

    It's okay to do the update that way, although it is usually recommended that you backup your iPhone prior to the update in case there are any problems.

  • Blackbery Link - browse pc folders and copy mp3 files not in music folder

    Hello to all of you
    I have music archives in different drives and pendrives
    It is not intuhitive at all how to browse local PC drives and or PC folders to select and copy single or many .mp3 files from the PC to the BlackBerry device.
    Please don't tell me that the silly solution is to move the mp3 files to the windows music folder.
    Additionally, i find really against an user friendly approach the BlackBerry Link in the music section. It doesn't allow to show the mp3 files names and use, manage and browse .mp3 files by their name, I see only
    - All the music
    - Album
    - Artists
    - Genres
    - Playlists
    well,
    - I have so many .mp3 files
    - they don't have all the mp3 tags
    - I see only an unfinished list which doesn't allow me to select the file I need, and I must scroll all of them every time
    A TOTAL NO SENSE in my personal opinion
    Anyway , from BalckBerry Link and from PC side, how to select one single mp3 file, QUICKLY, and copy it inside the BlackBerry device in the music folder?
    Thank you
    C0r

    Yes CRAZY!!! It is confirmed,
    trying to find a solution to this crazy behavior, I've turned to documents side.
    I've added my mysic folder to the documents and TA-DAAAH! The .mp3 files don't show!!!
    On the right panel a big string says "The folder doesn't contain supported files"!!!
    Well, looks like that BlackBerry Link leaks like the OS 10
    Anyway, if you can provide a solution that allows to copy mp3 files ID3-less (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ID3), mean that none of the ID3 has been filled, thank you so much in advance.
    To BB Link developers, think about allow users to tranfer files as files and not as you arbitrary want, thank you.

  • External MP3 files not working

    Hi,
    I have attached code straight out of the help file for using
    External MP3 files. It works perfect when I use their HelpExample
    sound MP3 file. However when I simply change the code to point to a
    working MP3 sound file in my LocalHost folder it executes but I
    only get a Blip sound.
    If I just double click on the sound file it sounds ok. and I
    have been successful in using these MP3 files embedded in Flash 8.0
    fla file
    Do the external MP3 files have to be on some special server?
    I am using this code with Flash 8.0
    Thanks,
    hugh

    The most likely reason for this failure is that since your SWF is now embedded into another SWF (the Captivate project) the paths to the AS files need to be altered in Flash to allow for this.
    You need to investigate how this would be done in AS code if your Flash SWF was a symbol inside another Flash SWF.

  • When using different profile, I can't get it cleared for security

    Due to trouble with Flash, I changed/added a ff profile.
    When I then tried to sign in to yahoo, I got screen saying for security purposes I had to verify my ID. I had a choice of several methods, text or voice to cell, email to different email.
    I tried both texting my cell and getting email. Both times, I got code. I typed it in and clicked on 'submit'. Nothing happens.
    The image remains the same. It looks like I did not click at all. I have repeated this, sometimes clicking 8-9 times. still no change.
    In order to reach my yahoo mail, I had to go back to my earlier profile. I may as well change back to old profile and as changing did not solve the problem with flash.
    But I would still like to know what is going on/ how to fix it.When I travel and use different computer, I have to do this, verify ID. I want to know how to force the verifcation through.
    Thanks

    Some added toolbar and anti-virus add-ons are known to cause
    Firefox issues. '''Disable All of them.'''
    Start '''[https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/troubleshoot-firefox-issues-using-safe-mode Firefox in Safe Mode]''' {web Link} by holding down the '''<Shift ''(Mac Options)'' >''' key, and then starting Firefox. Is the problem still there?

  • Blojsom server doesn't recognize .mp3 files posted from an XP machine.

    Strange things happening recently: When I log into the 10.4 server (using it for podcasts only, not blogs) it no longer recognizes .mp3 files when I post from my XP SP2 machine using either IE7 or Firefox. (It used to work just fine about a month ago.)
    Using the same exact mp3 file(s) I am able to post them from a Mac or Vista machine.
    Any ideas? This is just strange...

    Hi blindfred, to stop Firefox from playing MPEG-encoded media in a page or in a stand-alone tab on Windows Vista/7/8, you need to change the following preferences:
    (1) In a new tab, type or paste <strong>about:config</strong> in the address bar and press Enter. Click the button promising to be careful.
    (2) In the filter box, type or paste <strong>media.</strong> and pause while the list is filtered
    (3) Double-click <strong>media.windows-media-foundation.enabled</strong> to switch its value from true to false. (This is the standard method for Windows Vista/7/8)
    (4) Double-click <strong>media.directshow.enabled</strong> to switch its value from true to false. (This is an additional method available on Windows XP/Vista/7/8)
