What exactly matches a file?

What are the exact parameters that qualify a file to be matched?
In my experience for a song to be matched, the song must have the correct ID3 tags and be at least a low quality version of the song. Then you say "add to iCloud."
Then to have a high quality version in your library you delete the current file and download the matched version.
Is that correct?
What are the parameters for matching a movie or tv show that can be downloaded in an itunes version?
I haven't done this yet.

Never did. Asked again

  • .What exactly are .itc2 files? can they be moved or deleted ?

    I realized that ever since I installed iTunes and started adding music to my
    library the space on my C (windows) partition is shrinking.
    I have my computer set up for speed, where my C partition has ONLY windows on it.
    Programs like iTunes are installed on my P partition and the iTunes data is on my D partition.
    Now there are over 1000 .itc2 files on my C drive that will in a short time deteriorate performance by "taking over" my relatively clean C partition, if I continue to build my iTunes library.
    What can I do?
    All my music is imported directly from CD's and mp3's to the library. I do not "automatically download missing album artwork". I add all artwork manually one at a time.
    thanx

    Yes, artwork. All are stored in subdirectories in cache. Here's one example:
    C:\Documents and Settings\Administrator\My Documents\My Music\iTunes\Album Artwork\Cache\1DB66331D2340630\00\15\0
    The iTunes folder in My music is the default location for then iTunes library.
    Do this...
    Quit iTunes.
    Drag \My Documents\My Music\iTunes\ folder to the P: drive.
    Hold Shift and launch iTunes.
    Select *Choose library* and select the iTunes folder on the P: drive.
    iTunes will use the itunes folder in this location. Make sure the P: drive is mounted and ready before launching iTunes.
    Thanx, I think that should do the trick. It's as simple as moving the iTunes folder and pointing to the new destination? ...and iTunes will remember the last library location so I won't have to point to it each time I restart?
    I moved it to my D (data) partition along with the music. My P (programs) partition has nothing but programs. All partitions are permanently mounted.
    thanx again

  • What exactly does 'Open Filer' do ?

    DB version: Oracle 11gR2
    I have installed and maintained Oracle RAC in the Real World systems (Solaris and AIX). Here the Nodes are connected to shared storage via HBA cards. I've seen Blogs, articles of people using VM Ware, Oracle Virtual box creating RAC in their Desktops/Laptops. Creating several virtual machines (Solaris or Linux) might be easy.
    But how can they emulate a shared storage in Hard drive which is essentially used by the Windows Os (on top of which VM is installed) ie. Every single block in Laptop's HardDrive which openfiler uses is actually Windows OS formatted. Right? In layman's terms, what does open filer do in this Hard Drive which is actually Windows NT formatted? Can Windows reclaim the space in the Laptop's Hard Drive which Open filer was using?

    Openfiler has its own OS which is linux.
    Your laptop 8GB should be enough to create 2 nodes RAC + 1 node openfiler

  • Reducing file size #1...what exactly does file, reduce file size do?

    Questions on reducing a pages to pdf file size…I will post each question seperatly.
    1) I was surprised to see page reduce file size take it from 50 megs to 20 megs…when I looked at a large jpeg file, its size went form 230k to 70k, but the entire image (not just the visible part after the mask) was there (I was hoping it would crop to the mask).
    I am curious, what exactly is reduce file size doing?
    Is it applying a quartz filter that I can control through colorsync (I think not)?
    Thanks, bob

    You will need to test the results, but I suspect it is definitely lowering the resoltion to either screen resolution (72dpi) or double (150dpi) and upping the compression of the .jpegs.
    In contrast to the Quartz filters, the results from file reduction in Pages is disappointing with a hefty loss of quality for not so much file reduction.
    I would work with known distiller settings in Acrobat Pro for a better result.

  • What exactly ARE the .pkg files that collect in the 'Receipts' folder?

    Hi there all.
    Those .pkg files that collect in HDD>Library>Receipts. What exactly ARE these packages for? How do they tie in with Disk Utility's 'Repair permissions' option? Why do we need to keep them?
    It's all Unix to me ;0)

    I used to delete .pkg files after I'd installed an application. I thought i was just the electronic equivalent of throwing away the empty box after I'd bought something.
    The "cardboard box" icon encouraged me to think that.
    Then someone said you should never throw away those.pkg files.
    So I stopped.
    But the only thing that has ever happened is that during permissions repair, I get a few lines here and there that say "could not repair permissions".
    I have experienced no other problems of any kind over about the last 2 years. All applications running normally, nothing weird happening.

  • What exact file format for exporting AVCHD to HDD of Sony HDR-SR12E (AVCHD) Handycam?

    When you are finished editing AVCHD files with Adobe Premiere Elements 11, what is the correct file format for exporting back to the hard drive of the Sony HDR-SR12E handycam?
    I used Sony Play Memories software to import AVCHD (.m2Ts) files at 1920x1080i PAL resolution. I tried rendering to several file formats after editing, but the files could not be exported in high definition back to the hard drive of the AVCHD camera. 
    I WAS able to import files from camera in Play Memories and then export them straight back to camera WITHOUT any editing, but of course you wouldn't bother doing this normally.
    I grew to love using Premiere Elements 10 for editing sd footage from my mini dv camera. However,  I've just purchased the AVCHD handycam and expect to receive my newly purchased copy of Premiere Elements 11 in a couple of days.
    Can anybody suggest the correct file format to produce for exporting AVCHD footage edited in PE11 originally captured on the Sony HDR-SR12E back to the camera?
    - Regards, Phil

    Phil
    Premiere Elements 10 has the Share/Tape (Record to DV). And, even that is for just DV, not HDV. There is no such choice in Premiere Elements 11 and 12.
    So, you are going to have to match up the properties of the original with Export settings and try to get the file exported onto the camera's hard drive if that is possible. Does the Sony user guide give instructions for how to import one of your video to its hard drive?
    The theory depends on how close you want the export of the edit to match the camera's original. There is no .m2ts file extension in any of the Publish+Share/Computer/AVCHD choices. If the .m2ts file extension is a must..
    One scheme to get a AVCHD.m2ts 1920 x 1080i25 for your camera's hard drive - lots of ifs
    1. Publish+Share/Disc/AVCHD and burn to folder using presets = H.264 1920 x 1080i PAL Dolby.
    (The preset cannot be customized so you will go with the Adobe bitrate.for the preset)
    2. Then go to the folder saved to the computer's hard drive, open the BDMV Folder, then the STREAM Folder of the BDMV Folder, and use the 00000.m2ts file there as your file destined for your camera's hard drive.
    If the hard drive will accept ..m2t, then you could use Publish+Share/Computer/AVCHD with Presets = M2T - H.264 1920 x 1080i25 and customize the export settings under the Advanced Tab/Video Tab and Audio Tab.
    Please review and then let us know if any of this works for you.
    Thanks.

    If you want it on your Mac, not sure it works or not in your OS version.
    Then double click on the DMG, that'll mount the disk image, in that you'l likely see an installer .pkg to double click on to install.

    A number of the searches are controlled by the calendar ics.conf file. So try matching the directory access entry which relates to your search to the appropriate string in ics.conf and that should provide a guide as to what needs to be changed.

  • JDev 11.1.2.1, exact-match flag

    JDev 11.1.2.1
    I am trying to deploy my JDev/ADF application onto a Weblogic 10.3 Sun server. It complains about 'Unresolved Webapp Library references'. I found on the web that JDev 11.1.2.0 upgraded from jsf library 1.2 to 2.0 and that this can cause the problem I am seeing. The solution was to set the 'exact-match' to false. Where can I find this flag? Is it in weblogic.xml? I hear many references to the weblogic.xml file. This prompted me to go and see what was in my weblogic.xml. I believe that I found 10 of them; some in my application and some under Oracle/Middleware.

  • What exactly does the installers of JMF, Java MP3 Plugin do?

    Hi, All
    I am trying to make an intaller for our own application, which requires the JMF, and Java MP3 Plugin. Sometimes, there could be some problems
    with the Java MP3 Plugin registration. So I am wondering if the installer of MP3 plugin installer simply copy the mp3plugin.jar to jre/lib/ext.
    Then we can do so by our own installer in either of the two following ways:
    1 copy mp3plugin.jar to the jre/lib/ext by ourselves
    2 simply treat mp3plugin.jar as an ordinary jar file, and indicate it in the classpath when execuing the application.
    Before doing so, I shall know what exactly the installer of mp3 plugin does so that either of the above two ways does not miss anything. So can anybody give me some suggestions?
    Thanks!

    Yes, I am wondering the same thing.  I have some songs that meet all the other cryteria but still will not upload.  I am getting the mysterious catch all of "Songs encoded as AAC or MP3 that do not meet certain quality criteria will not be matched or uploaded to iCloud." is kicking in but how is it fixed?

  • How to Delete imported JPEGS after matching RAW files are imported as masters

    Using a 5D Mark III and shoot JPEG (SD) and RAW (CF).
    Aperture 3.5.1, using a managed library
    Perviously, using a 7D so new to shooting JPEG and RAWs from an aperture Aperture workflow standpoint.
    I know that i can import the JPEGs > delete images that do not make the cut > then import the matching RAW files in the import dialogue that correspond to the JPEGs in the Aperture Library.
    I use the RAW files as my Camera Master images and once the RAW files are imported, the smaller resolution JPEGs are no longer needed or viewed in my normal edit workflow.  I only need the JPEGs to quickly go through the images to find out which RAW files i need to import at a later time to increase the speed of import > edit > deliver.
    My Assumptions:
    1.  Logic would lead me to believe that after import the user should see a stack like image representation with whatever file type is considered Master to be on top and the viewable secondary file type on the bottom.  clicking on the image stack should allow you to see both file types as you would normally see with image stacks with the same files types.  This is not the case...  What am i missing here?
    2.  Logic again would lead me to believe that when i have the ability to delete one of the 2 image types as i do not need both in the end.  After the import process is complete and RAWs are backed up, I want to delete the JPEG files as they are just taking up more space on my DAS drive array...  There is no need to keep a duplicate of every file in both JPEG and RAW format.  This is not the case as when i delete the JPEG or RAW, both files formats are deleted simultaneously.  What am i missing here?
    Problems: (correspond to Assumptions above)
    1.  I do not seem to have access to both images (JPEG & RAW) in a stack where i can expand and close the stack to see both?  It seems like i only have access to the image type i have selected as Master?  This seems counter intuitive to what the workflow should be as why would aperture 'lock the secondary file types away' so you can't easily view both file types as the same time for comparison?
    2a.  Reality seems to be that i do not have access to the JPEG and RAW image files.  I can only see one at a time by selecting the images and choosing 'make JPEG master’ and then respectively... 'make RAW master', but you can't see both at the same time for file comparison.
    2b.  Also, I can't find a way to delete the JPEG images after the RAW files have been imported.  I would presume most professional photographers shoot RAW and do not shoot JPEG as their camera master or editing master images.  I do not understand why aperture has captured both as a pair in the library that does not allow me to delete the JPEG (in this case) as i have selected the RAW as my master.
    If someone can please help...  The function seems like either i am missing something obvious or that the implemented function of using RAW + JPEGs files for import is broken from a real world workflow standpoint.

    leonie...
    thank you for clearing that up for me.
    I think that at this point it is silly to use the JPEG+RAW import functionality as it seems that it takes longer to do the above steps than to just import only the RAW files and press on from there.
    I seems what i have done in the past of only importing the RAW files and then using the quick preview functionality to reduce image load times is the best thing in can come up with without keeping 'duplicates' in the database.
    That really baffels me that there is no built in functionality to remove the JPEG from a RAW+JPEG pair and i wonder how the real world photographers who help Apple test and implement software to solve real world workflow problems thought the JPEG+RAW import was going to be used.
    I do understand that i can use a smaller JPEG file size to reduce the bloat of the database, but used over hundreds of thousands of images is certainly going to make a dent in my total aperture database size and therefore storage needs down the road.
    If you have any other workflow thoughts, or know of a 3rd party plugin/ etc... to fix this obvious shortcoming then i am all ears..
    thank you again Leonie and have a great week

  • Search MS Word for Exact Match

    I've got a script that opens an MS Word document, then searches through a directory for each image file (.jpg), then does a find and replace using the filename as the search string, and inserts the image in place of the text it finds. My problem is that
    it's not doing an exact match. This means for example that if it looks for image1.jpg and that text exists in the word document inserts the image in it's place (the text being a placeholder). But if mimimage1.jpg was in place before it then it would insert
    the .jpg there - not doing an exact match.
    Here's the code I've got so far:
    # Get variables from XML file
    $MyDir = Split-Path $MyInvocation.MyCommand.Definition

    $MatchCase = $False
    and then
    $application.Selection.Find.Execute($MatchWholeWord, $MatchCase)
    But that stopped it from finding any matches. Can anyone help?

  • Third Party Applications? What exactly are they?

    Right,
    I've read alot about the Blue Screen that appears when Upgrading to OSX Leopard. I am intending on upgrading tomorrow when my external hard drive arrives so I can Clone my 10.4.11 onto the external hard drive and upgrade the cloned version first but would like to know if I can check in advance for any of these' Third party App's'? and what exactly are they?
    Regards,

    A third party application is anything not made by Apple. It can also include products that Apple purchased fairly recently (some of those "Pro" apps) that weren't coded to Apple's specfications and haven't been well tested. Apple doesn't and shouldn't test their software with third party applications. It isn't their job to test other people's software. They probably make exceptions for things like Office and Photoshop, but that is a short list.
    Most third party applications will be fine. The ones you have to worry about are those that ask for your password when you install them. They can then install any sort of incompatible software.
    After you clone your hard drive, verify that you can boot from the external drive and all your data is there. If so, don't upgrade the external drive. Boot using the 10.5 DVD and immediately run Disk Utility and re-partition your internal hard drive to wipe it out completely. Then install Leopard. Do not use Migration Assistant. Re-install all your 3rd party applications that are 10.5 compatible. Be very careful about copying over from backup anything in a Library/Preferences folder. You can copy any preference file from a third party application back over - those are safe. Anything from Apple may have been upgraded. Only copy over the Apple files that you absolutely have to, such as your Mail folder and Address book file, for example.
    It sounds like a lot of work but it will only take a couple of hours.
