Using different libraries and HDD

Hi All,
I recently purchased a HDD for use through my Time Capsule as an external storage device for music and movies etc. This purchase was based on advice received from guys at the Apple Store, but I don't know quite how to set things up to work properly.
What I want to do is save all of my music to the HDD and access it remotely when I'm at home, and I want to have some music on my computer so I can listen to it when I'm away and sync it with my iPhone. I've transferred all files from my iTunes folder to the external drive, and I've also transferred all the random, unsorted stuff from other drives. I now have a library on my computer but no files linked to them.
Firstly, how do I consolidate all of the music on the external drive? Secondly, how do I create two separate libraries?
Once my digital media is sorted I'll reload all of my CDs, so do I just save them to my computer, and then transfer them over to the HDD once they're done?
I'm sure this is all very simple, but I haven't got a clue where to start. Any help would be really appreciated.
Cheers.

First off, you're correct, don't "link" to another library.
Instead, open the Preferences screen, and put the iPod into "Manual" mode.
Then you can manually manage the songs on the iPod. You'll need to rip those CD's to the computer itself, and then copy the ripped songs by dragging and dropping them from the iTunes Library onto the iPod icon.
In Manual mode, you'll also be able to expand the iPod and Manage its playlists directly.

My mum is always using my iPad and I want to set mode if you like that she can log in as some one different and use apps she likes and I can use a diFferent log in and use different apps and stuff

iOS 7 does not support multiple user accounts like you want.
If all the apps are different, you could set her up with her own page of apps, then just show her how to get to her apps page, or just buy her an iPad for herself.

How to separate joint Apple ID's account using different mails and passwords

Hello ROOOS,
When you speak of a joint Apple ID account it seems you mean a shared Apple ID.
Frequently asked questions about Apple ID - Apple Support
Can I share my Apple ID with someone else?
You shouldn't share your Apple ID account information with other people. Each person should have their own Apple ID.
To eliminate the share one will keep it and the others will create their own Apple IDs.

Will iTunes Match sync up different libraries and playlists I have on multiple pc's?

As I've bought different laptops over the years I've got iCloud synching all my iTunes purchases. However the music libraries and playlists are completely different ref. the CD's that I've loaded in. Thinking of signing up to iTunes Match and wondered if this would at least give me 1 synchronysed version of each libraries music and playlists?

An addition to #3 above. He currently backs up his iPhone to the desktop in the basement. I will enable him to back up to the cloud, however if I have to do a local back-up, what computer should I use? He also has music stored locally on his phone and I am unsure if I am going to enable match on his phone, if not, how will he get music on his phone? I don't want his laptop to access the NAS with music on it so what should I do? Maybe I will need to allow him access to the cloud?

Use different iTunes and iCloud accounts only for backup

Hello Everyone,
Recently I update my iPhone 5,my wife iPhone 6 ,my wife iPad to iOS 8.3 and my MacBook Air to 10.10.3.
As part of the upgrade i purchase more space on iCloud for backuping my photo library.
I'm using the same account (iTunes and iCloud) on my Mac and my iPhone but using different one on my wife iPhone and iPad .
is there any option to use my iCloud account on my wife iPhone and iPad just for backuping purpose.
I saw that i can logged out from iCloud on her devices and logging in with my iCloud account but i'm affirmed to sync all of my personal data (contacts and so on) to her devices.
please advice.
Thanks,
Marco.

This sounds like misconfiguration issues.
For Calendars, log into each of your accounts on iCloud.com. Check the Calenders app there to ensure each of your iCloud-based calendars are properly shared between your wife and you. Remember, when you invite another person to share your calendar, that other person must accept the invitation.
For Contacts, make sure you have contacts in your account (check on your phone and on iCloud.com). On your phone, go under Settings/iCloud and make sure the toggle is on for Contacts. Again on your phone, go to Settings/Mail, Contacts, Calendars. Swipe down and make sure your default calendar is your iCloud-based calendar.
Hope this provides some insights that lead to a solution for you.

I have 2 different libraries and would like to switch one with the other. Can I simply authorize the one I want to switch to the same user and Password that refers to the one I want to get to.

I have 2 Itunes libraries on 2 different computers and would like to switch one to become the other in order to have one complete library on both computers. Can I simply deauthorize and reauthorize the computer i want changed with the other library.

hi melansonp, these 2 emails accounts are from one webmail or from 2 differents ?

HT4061 My iPhone 5 has suddenly stopped charging even though I have used different cables and adaptors. The cables adaptors charge another phone so nothing wrong at that end

My iPhone 5 has suddenly stopped charging. Have used three different cables and adaptors to no avail. The cables charge other phones so something wrong with the phone only. Need advice on possible solutions?

Always try
a reset then
a restore first with back up then as new ,as required
If still no improvement visit Apple Store genius bar
BUT first check there is no debris in charging socket

Use different language and Spell check

Hello, just got an iPad to supplement my two Android phones, and like it so far...
Except for one thing that drives me nuts...
The spell check. I live in Scandinavia, but like to use English as my interface language. This causes major problems, when I write something in Danish.
Is there any way to have English as the interface language, but use another language for spell checking?
Also, is there a way to use two different languages in spellcheck? Its really annoying to have English words pop up as suggestions when I write something in a different language and vice versa...

From a user perspective this is wrong UX and lacks total support for multi-national companies, especially when the (national) keyboard layout differs from the (foreign) keyboard layout that is being forced to use if one wants the spell check to be performed in the foreign languge.
Let's take the following example. My language settings are set to English because I want my interface in English. The used keyboard layout is Flemish (=Dutch) (AZERTY). When writing emails the spell check is performed in Dutch since iOS uses the keyboard related language. This is fine as long as I write emails to people in Belgium which do read and speak Dutch. However when I want to write English emails (and hence would like English spell check) I am forced to switch my keyboard to English (UK). This is not really OK as switching the keyboard messes up the layout I am used to work with (English -> QWERTY).
Essentially, the selected keyboard (and keyboard layout for that matter) shouldn't have any impact on the used language for the spelling check. To be honest I can't remember of any application/OS used so far that applies this logic.
I really do hope that this gets fixed in some way (e.g. by adding the option to select the spelling check language) in a future update of iOS.

Using different tapes and formats: common denominator?

Before I start a first production, as a very green *new) user of CS3 (soon upgraded to CS4):
1. I f I plan to use different tapes (old miniDV standard def) + record new shots and wish to use both, should I shoot in DV mode ? (new camera is Canon HV30 and can do it, and can do HDV as well, 4:3 and 16:9...)
2. Anyone using miniDV: to recors multiple shots, at multiple dates: can I still use the batch capture option? I tried but as the timecode seems to change and re-record, and sometimes may corrupt... how one can deal with this?...
3. As I wish to have cues through a dummy soundtrack when I shoot video shots, I am planning to get rid of that sound and import a clean (CD quality) track to the final mount. I just want to make sure I can do it with Premiere Pro, and is there anything I must know from the start *before* shooting?
Thanks,
Rob

Rob,
1) You have basically 3 options: a) record in DV mode b) record HDV and downscale it in a DV project or c) record HDV but then play it out as DV from the HV30. I've been experimenting with 'c' lately as I can easily incorporate the footage from the HV20/30's (or XLH1's) in a DV project but I have a higher-res version on the tape if I then want to incorporate that footage in a HDV project later. Handy.
2) The ideal option is to stripe your tapes (i.e put it in the camera with the lens cap on and record for the entire length of the tape). this lays down continuous timecode that will be unbroken when the actual vision is recorded to the tape. breaks in recording won't matter because the timecode is already there.
3) No problem. PP allows you to dump audio from any video track. BTW, if you're lip-syncing to a master track (say, for a film-clip), just make sure that you have that master up-front for your talent. A couple of different speeds might be handy if you're contemplating using time remapping (aka slo mo, fast mo) in your final piece.
good luck.

Can I ask, if my wife and I have seperate profiles set up on a windows laptop and are currently using different libraries on iTunes, can we use the same library? It seems a terrible waste of space if there are artists we both want to listen too.

Is this purely a copyright issue? For instance, I gifted her an iTunes album at christmas, so if we were to link to one library, I shouldn't be able to listen to this should I? I have about 160 albums in my library, and she has about 300 individual tracks in hers. Our tastes overlap, and music takes up space on my hard drive, so surely she should be able to link to my library too... or is this just a can of worms in waiting...

You can share your libraries within the same household:

Syncing different libraries and tailoring content for iOS devices.

Hi guys, got a couple of iTunes and iOS Questions.
First a little background info:
I have:
- A 16gb iPhone 4s
- A 32gb iPod Touch (Probably 1st gen. I got it 2nd hand).
I am considering:
- a 16gb or 32gb iPad (Wifi only)
I used to be a PC user, but have recently switched to Mac.
- My PC Library contains all the music and Apps I had up until that change. (This is before I worked out how to use iCloud.)
- My Mac Library contains all the same music, plus everything I’ve acquired since. But NOT the playlists. For some reason when I copied my music to my Mac, those did not transfer.
- My iPhone is now synced to my Mac Library. (Which is the better library, but it lacks the old cool playlists I lovingly made).
- My iPod is synced to my PC library, so it’s missing music, but has those old playlists.
So my questions are:
Is there a way to transfer those old playlists to my new library, and sync them with my iPhone? (Most files should still be present, although the file locations may now vary.)
I want to resync my iPod Touch with my Mac Library, but keep the awesome playlists I have made (Till now, I’ve been reluctant to do this, because my iPod is hooked up to my stereo, and I didn’t want to have to make entire new playlists.)
Is there a way to bring my PC library up to speed and sync it? (It’s actually a different library, with similar files). I’d actually like to (if possible) delete that whole library and start again so it matches my Mac, and keep it all up to date with iCloud. The only thing I want to save are those old playlists.
My girlfriend has almost the same library as me (The PC Version) on her PC, - Plus a few extras I don’t have (Or want. J ). But between us, with home sharing, we have everything. Can we share playlists…
- On iTunes in the Home
- On iOS devices (I understand some songs may be missing)
Also:
- By the time I put apps on, and leave some space free for photos etc, My iTunes Library is way too big for my 16gb iPhone 4s, so I have manually unchecked a lot of my less listened to music.
- My 32gb iPod is a great size for me, for storing music and the odd video. I rarely use apps on it now that I have an iPhone.
- If I do get an iPad, it would basically be for apps. I’d want a bare minimum of my favorite music on it, just to get me through. It would however contain lots of photos, and some video. In this way, I think a 16gb model would be plenty.
Is there a way to set up iTunes and my IOS devices so that they sync to the same library, but with content tailored for each device?
Also, with a setup like that, if a Playlist is missing a few songs because the source file isn’t on that device, will it still play the other songs?
Thanks SO much.

- My PC Library contains all the music and Apps I had up until that change. (This is before I worked out how to use iCloud.)
How did you work this out with iCloud? It has little to do with iTunes.
1 - playlists. On the old computer, open iTunes. File > Library > Export playlist.
This will export a file. Copy this file to the new computer then File > Library > Import playlist. It will duplicate playlists (not files) if they are present in both libraries but you can simply delete the playlist you don't want.
2 - Doing 1 above will add the playlists to the Mac.
3 - To get the playlist from the Mac to the PC, do as 1 above but in reverse.
Or if you want it an exact duplicate...
Delete /Music/iTunes/ folder on the PC.
Copy the entire /Music/iTunes/ folder on the Mac to /Music/ on the PC.
This is all you need to do.
and keep it all up to date with iCloud
Do you mean iTunes Match ($24.99 a year)?

How to use external libraries and JAR files with OpenScript

Hello.
I am trying to include ApachePOI, JODATime, and Javamail in my scripts to handle different aspects of our automated performance tests.
I followed the documentation for Eclipse to be allowed to utilize these external libraries, however, when I attempt to run my tests the classes and methods that are being imported, show up with errors saying that they do not exist.
I think perhaps that I am using them incorrectly. I cannot see them as script assets, package assets, or project assets using the properties for these items. An error pops up and says those screens are not displaying correctly or display incorrect information.
If anyone can provide guidance on using these items, that would be great. Right now I'm trying to include them as "previously exported scripts" but I'm not sure that method will work.
Any advice is appreciated.
Thanks.

Hi Tiff
For OpenScript 9.* there is an out of the box solution for that, all you need to do in OpenScript go to:
Script -> Script Properties -> Script Assets -> Add -> jar File ....
And that is it.

Using different datasources and different view objects.. (ADF 11g)

In our application we have the need for using two different datasource (an old version and a new verision) - but not at the same time.
Isn't it possible to base a viewobject on top of two sub viewobjects and run time decide which sub viewobject to use?
If possible - could someone please show some code examples?
Thanks...

Hi,
no, not exactly. You can have polymorphic views, but the use case is a different. The transaction is maintained by the AM, so if you want to connect to different data sources then you have to connect to them when starting the application, For this you can configure it for dynamic JDBC connect

How do i use both ssd and hdd drives on macbook pro together

have a mid 2012 macbook pro 15 inch. I replaced hdd drive with ssd drive and put hdd drive in optic bay. Was wondering what the best way to use both together is

Use your SSD for your system, applications, working projects, as a scratch disk (if you're editing photos or video, for example) and you can use the HD to store you user files (Documents) and infrequently accessed files.
The only disadvantage that I see with a setup like yours is backups. You can use clones to backup both drives, and Time Machine to - at least - backup your boot drive, but you're going to run the risk of losing data if you don't clone your HD. That's a minimum of two clones for one computer (I shouldn't be one to be talking about excessive clones, though, as I keep three clones of my SSD, one clone of my 2TB 'working' drive, and two Time Machine backups of my SSD).
But that's the way I'd treat the drive in the opti-bay - just as an 'internal' external drive.
