Well, Fixed one problem and created another!!!!

Okay, Let's start from the beginning (A long time ago in a galaxy far far away).
Year 2002: Installed the then available itunes. Wow this is great, setup nicely, imported all my music, videos, pictures (yes, mpgs too, more on this later).
Between 2002 and 2007: itunes updates itself with no problems.
Year 2007: Installed Vista Ultimate upgrade, itunes does not like OS upgrades! Duplicates galore, playlists unusable and all tracking info gone!!! Easy I thought just uninstall itunes then re-install, okay but you guys know by now that you have to start from scratch on playlists and tracking. Seems that when you upgrade from XP to Vista you now have public folders and your own folders (no more My Documents per se) now with these changes itunes freaks because file locations have changed and the file in itunes that tracks where your files used to be is basicaly now corrupt. Several days later I have my playlists redone and back to business. Now I really don't use itunes for video so I didn't really lose any functionality there so I thought (more on this later)!
Mid 2007: Installed 3 new hard drives tons of new space to fill! itunes? Well I hadn't really done anything but add songs, burn a couple of cd's for the car it seems to be working ok. Now for a small flashback, I have been storing all of my media in it's own folder on my C: drive ie creating subfolders by artist and doing this in windows explorer then importing the new subfolder in itunes (sounds crazy but when itunes freaks, windows media player likes that setup. Now itunes seems to want to put everything in its own folder when you don't keep track if your media folder might change drive locations when using usb drives and external harddrives, Ah hah!!! everyone remembers (now with these changes itunes freaks because file locations have changed and the file in itunes that tracks where your files used to be is basicaly now corrupt)!!!
Late 2007: Wow with these new hardrives I can free up some space on my C: drive. Now I was thinking, just moving my Public and Private Vista folders is gonna create some problems. I did my research and found there is a way to change what drive these folders are on and Vista automatically moves the folders and files and re-associates them, worked great except!! guess what?! itunes again freaks out because of the drive letter changes!!
Year 2009: I have not used itunes in year, Why? Tired of fighting with a well conceived but poorly written program. This program was designed to run on an Apple machine, period. Most apple machines never get hardware upgrades, no changes so no problems with itunes. I sit here thinking I haven't changed anything on my computer for a long time, I will give itunes one more try. I do the research and see that wow you just delete all your songs off itunes but keep the files and re-import. Okay I deleted all my music then re-imported and it works! Again I will have to redo all my playlists. So since this seemed to work okay I go to my Movies folder in itunes and I see that duplicates are listed, some files will play some will not. Here we go! Deleted all my movies and pictures (these I also have in there own folders and subfolders) and keep the files. Well I try to re-import, a progress screen shows it doing it's thing and then, nothing, the items are not listing! I try again, Nothing!!!! I do a little research and find that the video types itunes supports has now changed! Remember at the start of my post (yes, mpgs too, more on this later) well seems itunes does not support mpg files anymore. If anyone can come up with a work around on this it would be helpfull otherwise I am done with itunes!
Thanks

there are plenty of good programs out there that will convert your videos from whatever format they are in to the ipod format. i use Xilisoft iPod Video Converter. Get it here: http://www.xilisoft.com/ipod-video-converter.html. You can go into itunes and changing the location of the itunes music folder. go to Edit > Preferences > Advanced tab. This may stop itunes freaking. and about the duplicates, if you add a playlist from itunes, then it will create a duplicate of the track if it is already on the ipod. i suggest making playlists on the ipod by clicking on the ipod in itunes and creating a new playlist, then drag and drop the tracks you wish to add to the playlist from your ipod music menu.

    Thank you.

    You can log out of an account (you can't 'cancel' an account) by tapping on it in Settings > iTunes & App Store - any content that you downloaded with that account will remain tied to that account. You can then create a new account via the Create New Apple ID button on that screen. If you don't want to give credit card details then follow the instructions on this page when creating the new account : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2534

    After contacting Apple, I received a reply from their engineers:
    Copy QTMovieWin.dll from:  C:\Program Files (x86)\Common Files\Apple\Apple Application Support
    to: C:\Program Files (x86)\iTunes
    And that did the trick.

    Hi neffn!
    I have an article for you that can help you go through that process of uninstalling and reinstalling iTunes. If you have Windows 7, you will want to see this article:
    Removing and reinstalling iTunes, QuickTime, and other software components for Windows Vista or Windows 7
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1923
    and if you are using Windows XP, you will want to reference this article:
    Removing and Reinstalling iTunes, QuickTime, and other software components for Windows XP
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1925
    Note that, as it says in those articles:
    iTunes Store purchases or songs imported from CDs are saved in your My Music folder by default and are not deleted by removing iTunes. While it is highly unlikely that you will lose any contents of your iTunes Library when following these steps, it is always a good idea to ensure that your iTunes library is backed up. If you're unsure how to backup, see iTunes: Back up your iTunes library by copying to an external hard drive.
    Thanks for using the Apple Support Communities. Have a good one!

  • Insert one table and update another???

    Hello,
    I was wondering if it is possible to insert a record in one table and update another another record in a different table.
    I have a form on my company's intranet that allows employees to add comments (ADDT Insert transaction) about new products we are going to bring to the market. At the same time, I would like to count the numbers of comments on a particular product and update that number for each product to see which product is getting the most reviews.
    Right now the products are on the homepage with the title and inserted date. From there, the employees click on the product get the info and make comments about it. The problem for me is that I would like to see the comment counts for each product on the home page, which means I would have to update the product table with the count.
    Sorry, I am using PHP as the technology.
    When I used to do it in ASP, I would insert the comment using the POST from the form, but add another hidden field with the count in it and I would use the "Command" Server behavior to retrieve the number and update the other table field.
    I noticed that dreamweaver removed the "Command" server behavior when using PHP.
    All help is greatly appreciated
    Charles.

    Hi Charles,
    you can generally execute queries on a different table using Custom Triggers, and in regards to your "update the product table with the count" scenario the ADDT help file has a helpful pointer in the chapter "Custom transactions and triggers : Save additional information on login" -- in here you´ll find a sample "incremental counter" query which should be easy to adapt.

Now, I visited some website and then I want to return to my search results and pick another search result. And there is a problem: I don't have any markers (diffrent link colour for visited sites in IE) that would help me to distinguish visited and not visited sites.

  • How to add a "Create and Create Another" button to form

    I have an input form on a table with several LOV select lists and a text field. To ease data entry, the user wants to create several records, one at a time, by remaining on the same form page. Built-in APEX functionality adds the record and returns the user to the report page.
    User wants to create the first record by clicking the Create button, stay on the form with all the LOV values as they were (not clearing cache), change one or two LOV choices and the text field, and click a "Create and Create Another" button. The user will stay on the form until clicking the "Cancel" button.
    I changed the branch on the form to call itself. The LOV and text field values remain, but the "Create" button disappears to add another. Of course, I'll need to run the Get PK process to get the next sequence number for the new record.
    Looking for the best way to accomplish this. Thanks!

    If it is using the default setup, I believe you would clear the PK field (and now others) on branch to same for "Create and Create Another", as that is the default criteria for whether the Create button is shown.

    Welcome to the Apple community.
    If you are unable to remember your password, security questions, don’t have access to your rescue address or are unable to reset your password for whatever reason, your only option is to contact Apple ID Support, upon speaking to an operator you should explain that your problem is related to your Apple ID, this way you will not be charged for assistance, even if you don’t have an AppleCare plan.
    The operator will take you through some steps you may have already tried, however they need to be sure they have exhausted all usual approaches before trying to reset your account, so you should try to be helpful and show patience with the procedure.
    The operator will need to verify they are speaking to the account holder and may ask you some questions that only the account holder could know, and you will need to answer them if the process is to proceed.
    Once the operator has verified your identity they will send a message through to your device which contains an alpha numeric code, which you will need to read back to them.
    Once this has been completed they will send an email to your iCloud email address after a period of 24 hours, so you should check that mail is enabled in your devices iCloud settings.
    Upon receipt of the email, use the reset link provided to reset your password, after which you should be able to make the adjustments to iCloud that you wish to do.

  • Closing one GUI and opening another?

    Hi guys,
    (I didnt really know which forum to post this in, so apologies in advance if this is the wrong one).
    I have created a login screen for a system, LoginScreen.java, which accepts a username and password and checks these on the server for validity. This all works fine.
    Once an account is accepted as valid I would like for the login screen to close, and the actual main GUI, Client.java, to open.
    Can anyone tell me the code for doing this? (closing one GUI and opening another).
    Please ask if you need more information on my code.
    Many thanks!

    You can make the Client.java as your main program then just call the LoginScreen.java.
    import javax.swing.*;
    public class Client extends JFrame {
    public static void main (String[] args) {                     
         Login log = new Login();
         log.show();     
    // Here you can put validation if the user is valid before displaying the main GUI
    // If valid user
         Client clt = new Client();
    clt.show();     
    // } else {
    // System.exit(0);
    public Client() {
         super("Client Java");
         setSize(400, 300);
    setDefaultCloseOperation(JFrame.EXIT_ON_CLOSE);
    class Login extends JFrame {
    public Login() {
         super("Login Java");
         setSize(200, 300);
    }

  • All of a sudden my iTunes stopped working, and I get the following error messages:   1. the program can't start because MSVCR80.dll is missing from your computer. Try reinstalling the program to fix this problem   and   2. iTunes was not installed correct

    All of a sudden my iTunes stopped working, and I get the following error messages:
    1. the program can't start because MSVCR80.dll is missing from your computer. Try reinstalling the program to fix this problem
    and
    2. iTunes was not installed correctly. Please reinstall iTunes. Error 7 (Windows error 126).
    Now I've checked the forums and followed the advice of uninstalling all Apple applications, rebooting, and reinstalling iTunes.
    This is not working. I've tried installing as Administrator but doesn't make any difference at all.
    There must be a way to fix this? I'm not a tech geek but I want to avoid having to take my laptop back to factory settings to sort this out.
    Thanks

    Click here and follow the instructions. You may need to completely remove and reinstall iTunes and all related components, or run the process multiple times; this won't normally affect its library, but that should be backed up anyway.

  • Hi, I need to take my daughter off from our Apple account and set up her own. So, delete her from one account and create her own. Realize I sound imbecilic for not knowing how to do this. Any ideas? Thank you so much. Jules

    Hi, I need to take my daughter off from our Apple account and set up her own. So, delete her from one account and create her own. Realize I sound imbecilic for not knowing how to do this. Any ideas? Thank you so much. Jules

    You don't have to take her off your account exactly: she needs to sign out from your account on her computers and devices. Then she can obtain an Apple ID at http://appleid.apple.com and use it to sign into System Preferences or Settings>iCloud.
    However, there are some issue about this. If she has been syncing her calendars and contacts to your account then the data will disappear from her devices, but remain on your account. Individual calendars can be exported  as .ics files and reimported into her account, but if she has her contacts mixed up with yours she will have to enter them individually in the new account (or export yours, import them into hers, and delete the ones she doesn't want.
    More intractable is the email issue. She cannot move an address from your account to hers, so if she has been using a alias on your account to have her own address she cannot transfer it. She will have to create a new email address.
