yes.
with the drive connected to the TC and mounted on your desktop, copy the entire iTunes folder (not just the iTunes music folder) to the external.
next, launch iTunes while pressing option, click on +choose library+ when prompted, and select the iTunes folder on the external.
this setup requires that the external is mounted before you launch iTunes. you can have the drive mount automatically at startup by adding the drive to your login items via system preferences > accounts > login items.
if you are comfortable with AppleScript, you could edit this script to suit your need.
try
mount volume "afp://<devicename>.local/<volumename>" as user name "<accountname>" with password "<accountpassword>"
end try
this script just places the drive's icon on the desktop.
save it as an application and add that to your login items.
credit for the script goes to Tesserax.

Using remote with more then one computer.

Can i use remote with different computers? It works fine on mine but if i try to use it with another computer in the house it doesn't show up in itunes.

If you want to connect and use an iPod (other than a shuffle) on more than one computer you need to change the update preference in the iPod Summary tab to "Manually manage music and videos" and click Apply.
Using iPod with Multiple computers
Managing content manually on iPod
Note: When changing from automatic to manual, check the "manually manage music and videos" box in Summary then press the Apply button. "Don't" uncheck Sync Music in the Music tab, it will be unchecked by default when you choose the manual setting, if you uncheck it without setting the iPod to manual first you'll erase all the songs from your iPod
Something else to be aware of when using an iPod in manual mode is that the "Do Not Disconnect" message will remain on the display until you physically eject the device. In that case use Safely Remove Hardware icon in the Windows system tray on your desktop or check this link: Safely Disconnect IPod

Using remote with I tunes

Hi. I had an iMac with a remote control(the little white one with black tip) that when i pressed PLAY(not menu) it played my music, EVEN WHEN ITUNES WAS CLOSED. I now have a diff. iMac that requiers iTunes to be open to play music. Is there any way to make my remote play music even when iTunes is closed? Like in a game?
Before i was playing Diablo2 and pressed PLAY on the remote and my music started to play. Now my mac makes me either turn on iTunes or press MENU. It was very convinient before. Can some one tell me how to turn the option on?

Ayuda, I'd suggest you start a new topic with your issue (use the "Post a new topic" link at the top of each main topic page). It's generally better to ask a question as a new topic rather than as a reply in someone else's thread, It's more courteous to the original poster, and is more likely to get your question the attention it deserves.

Using Visualizer with Music Videos

I want to shuffle music files with music video files and display them thru a projector. I'm trying to figure out if there is a way to have iTunes use the visualizer for the music files but display the music video when it is q'd up.
Anyone know if this is possible and if so what preferences, etc. need to be set in iTunes. Thanks in advance for the response!
Using iTunes 8.0.2.

I have the exact same problem. Plus, I can't play them continuosly neither... Have to select them one by one through the remote. That's very annoying! I hope Apple fix it a.s.a.p.

Using REMOTE with a mac

from the apple website:
Using Keynote Remote with Bluetooth
When a Wi-Fi connection is unavailable you can use Keynote Remote with Bluetooth to control your Keynote slideshow from one iOS device to another (iPad, iPhone, iPod touch). However, slides may take longer to appear on Keynote Remote when connected via Bluetooth. You cannot use Keynote Remote via Bluetooth with a Mac.
really???........ what is the point? Can i use it with a PC? who's million-dollar idea was this?

I'm not sure that Tuttle's answer is quite the answer you're looking for. Sounds like you sometimes want the remote to control the iPhone in the dock, while other times you want it to control the MBP. If that's correct, there's really only one decent option: two remotes. Both devices should have come with a remote, so you should already have two. You can [pair one with the computer|http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1619] and [pair the other with the dock|http://support.apple.com/kb/TA23708?viewlocale=en_US]. You'll need to label the remotes somehow so you can tell which is which.
Alternately, of course, you could just change the pairing every time you want to switch devices, but that seems like a bit of a pain to me.

Populating a Combobox using Remoting with AMF and PHP

Hello all
I am using Zend framework and Flex 3.4 to create a webapp. I am stuck at how to populate a combobox dynamically using the service I created in PHP.
In some of examples I saw that result of database query was being converted into XML and then sent to Flex. This seems a little too time-consuming if I have to do it every time. I saw some examples in Adobe Docs about Remoting with AMF and PHP. That seems like a better approach although how it would be applicable here is beyond me right now.
Can somebody guide me in correct direction?
Thanks and Regards
Shivik

Try this: http://code.google.com/p/as3flexdb/ is very easy to use and it
will help.
All you need to populate a combo is:

I created a slideshow using lightroom3 with music at 1070p, then put it to both a CD and a DVD. I cannot play either back on my iMac. It is jumpy and unusable on playback. Different Video card needed? Any Help?

I created a slideshow using lightroom3 at 1070p with music. After transferring the slideshow to a DVD I could not play it back on my iMac without a lot of skipping. Any ideas? Different Video card??

As I said, I've not used Lightroom (and I tried to find some info on the Adobe website, but they like to make it difficult to find things - the only thing easy to find was the "buy" button LOL).
I get some pretty good quality - and actually reduce my videos from 1080 to 720p because of the enormous file size, rendering time required, and the fact that I simply cannot tell the difference on my 42" HDTV. My workflow is: create a slideshow in Photo to Movie (I've found that superior to anything else I've tried), add that to my iMovie project (in between video clips, etc), add transitions, titles, or whatever. Export at the highest settings (experimented with different settings on a 30 sec clip) to desktop. Fire up iDVD, customize a theme/menu with videos, music, stills and then add my movie(s). Encode there to highest quality, create a Video TS folder (which will include all the files necessary so you can delete the originals if you want) or burn from there. If I do the folder method, I use Roxio Toast to burn it at the slowest speed available.
Using that workflow, my movies rock (if I say so myself ) and have a great quality. And I've never had a coaster.

How to use itunes with music all on external drive?

I have a PC laptop - with Itunes installed. I have a LOT of music all organized neatly on an external drive.
Itunes folders obviously live on the internal drive, but music is all on external (not enough room on internal).
I can dump the folder from the external drive onto itunes, and all the music is there - great.
But I dont ALWAYS have that drive connected - and sometimes I open itunes when its not - for my phone sync or to buy something
from the itunes store.
I have done this for years, and only in more recent years has this become a problem - when I connect the drive, it has lost all the links to the
music on it. I go into "preferences/advanced" - and tell it to look at the folder on the external drive - and it looks like its re-establishing the links - but it still does not. This only used to happen rarely - and I would have to clear itunes, then drop the folder again - but now it does it every time that I re-attach the drive after I have used itunes when it was NOT attached.
I have to clear all my musis and then drop the folder again - which takes a while - I have tens of thousands of songs.
please help!
Thanks!

Try to use instructions for consolidating library from here, see if that helps. At some point I have noticed, especially with huge library it gets hard for itunes to keep information about different locations, unless you have external drive plugged permanently.

Using Remote with other Applications

Okay, so I want to use my Apple remote to control VLC (a media player) so I can use it whenever without having to get up and pause, skip forward, or skip backward with my keyboard. So anyway...I downloaded this program that looked very promising
http://www.macupdate.com/info.php/id/23518
But it doesn't seem to let me add new applications which is a real bummer. Has anyone figured out a way to do this, or something similar to customize the uses of the Apple remote? Any help is greatly appreciated

I think you may want this,http://www.apple.com/downloads/macosx/productivity_tools/mira.html it cost money for the full version but the demo works just fine(it seems to last forever).

Recording using mic with musical accompaniment and no latency

I am using GarageBand '08 to try and record a podcast. I have created music, and am trying to talk over it and hear it all through headphones. Unfortunately, there is an unacceptable level of latency in the headphone jack this way (my mic is plugged into the mic/line in, my headphones are plugged into the line out). I have tried all the optimization settings to no avail. I have turned off "echo" and "reverb" in the live instrument settings. Where else do I turn? What do I do?

Yes, GB does have latency, and sometimes it's impossible to get rid of it. I usually record without monitoring and cover only one ear with the headphones, so I can hear myself but also the other tracks.

Use remote with Apple TV and a second computer but not third

I can't seem to figure this one out. I have an imac and a macbook pro, the imac connected to the extreme modem and my itunes library is accessible from the apple tv remote control. When I use the remote for the apple tv, Front Row on the macbook pro opens up and when I use the up or down buttons on the remote, Front Row responds. Somehow the remote is sending a signal to the macbook pro/Front Row. How can I stop this from happening? Any ideas are welcome..
GH

The macbook pro is responding to the tv remote. You can fix this by disabling the infrared remote receiver on the MBpro.
Go to System Preferences > Security > General Tab > Click the padlock and supply the admin password > Check "Disable remote control infrared receiver.

Need help with music

I have bought a used Ipod with music already on it and would like to keep some of the music. I know from former experiance with another Ipod that Itunes will automatically delete the songs since they are not in the current library. Is there any way to keep this music or will I have to just forget about it?

You are unable to keep the music from the former user's music because it is not technically "stored" on your ipod device. (ipods are designed to erase and sync).
THe music is actually stored on the former owner's computer. The same thing as your computer, usually on your C:/ drive (for windows) in a file. iTunes "locates" the file to place it into iTunes and sync it on your device.
So the former owner's music and library is different than your library and music. iTunes and ipods are designed to detect the conflict in librarys.
You have to erase and sync when it prompts you to. Sorry. You can't "add to" the former owners' library music, because you don't have it on YOUR computer.
That would be copywrite infringement and technically "stealing".

Downloading whole album in Comes With Music (N97 M...

How can I download the whole album and it's tracks in Comes With Music (by using the phone, not PC)? There is a Download icon (that arrow down-icon) next to the album, but when I press that, it opens another view where all the tracks of that album are listed, with separate download icons next to each track. Am I really supposed to start downloading every track separately, by clicking every single download icon (more than 10 per album)?
Surely there must be a way to download the whole album with one click? Otherwise this really brings down the usability of Comes With Music.
I am using N97 Mini, and using Comes With Music service directly from the phone.

I've been having the same problems too. Was browsing ard looking for solutions but I just got mine to work a moment ago by playing around with it. Here's what I did.
1) First, I tried to download a new song. I once again got no response or any prompt. As has been happening since this problem started, there was no download progress pop-up window, and no indication that any download has been completed or song added to the music player.
2) I hit the download list button. Here I can see the song that I was trying to download. It's shown at 0% and only few KBs downloaded. I can also see some of the other songs that had tried to download previously but it did not appear in the music player. Those songs are shown as 100% complete.
3) Next, I selected the song that I was trying to download, hit the 'options' button and select 'resume download'. (the other option is 'cancel download'). Now it's downloading as usual.
4) Then I selected each of the 100% downloaded songs in the list, and deleted them one by one. Note that the error message 'file not found' still comes up, but just ignore it. Cos it actually did delete the files. (Sometimes you gotta delete it twice. I had one song which after deleting it, it was still there and I had to delete it the second time before it disappeared from the list)
5) Before I know it, the song that I was downloading is already to the music player list (though there was no message prompt to inform that it has been added).
Now all my subsequent downloads are all like normal before the problem.
I dunno why but somehow doing that works for my device. Hope it works for yours too.
