What file does ipod use for library and how do i access it?

Hi.
I almost put this in the ipod discussion but the question has to do with itunes as well...
I have learned that itunes uses an xml file for the library, containing all song information and playlists (not sure about id3 tags for .wav, mp3) but when i looked at my data for the ipod i found no .xml files.
Heres what happened and why i need this:
unplugged the ipod after an osx reboot to winxp bootcamp hung. then i noticed the ipod was erased (or so i thought)
Couldn't access any of the data on the ipod and hadnt a spare 80 gigs to back up my ipod.
I didn't give up and after trying so many data recovery programs i got one to work and now i have what looks like all the songs back - with song titles and filenames - on my comp.
I want my library back too. I want my hard wrought playlists and i want to know what songs i may be missing; I need to rebuild my 'library'.
with the data i retrieved there is a folder called root, and if you follow and go to ipod control>Itunes there are a bunch of temp files and a large file called ipodcontrol and a couple files called playlist but those two were umm, empty. I dont know what any of this stuff is but if i knew how the ipod makes its library that would be a start in seeing if i can somehow get the library back. I know there is a way. I also am sure there are tons of people out there whose tracks have been erased after an auto update or unplug. You can get your music back! It would be so sweet to figure out how to reconstruct the library file too.

I forgot to mention that for you people who have inadvertently erased your ipods, the data recovery program that worked the best for me was called R-Studio.
So anyone know what file ipod uses for its internal library?

Hi,
You could use FND_FLEX_LOADER_APIS.UP_VALUE_SET_VALUE to upload them from staging table (I suppose you mean value set values...).
You can find a sample scripts if you google around.
What do you mean "how to map any API to our staging table" ?
You should do at least the following mapping (which column(s) in the staging table will provide these information):
- the 3 value sets name which you're going to update/upload (I suppose these are existing value sets or which have been already created)
- the value set values and description
Try to start with something and if there is any issues the community could then help... but for the time being with the description of the problem you have provided, that's the best I can do...

How to find out what are the interfaces used for Job and Job Codes

Hi,
Here is an idea for your request.
Basically you can create a simple query on multiprovider 0TCT_MC01.
Filter: you can use a variable for restriction of time ( calday, or calmonth) since you should be interested for a time period.
Choose following characters into your objects:
InfoProvider ( 0TCTIFPROV ) - you can create a variable for choosing infoprovider before query runs.
*Tp.[Type of BI Application Object] 0TCTBISOTYP = filter this with 'QUERY' or whatever your need is.
*BI Application Object 0TCTBISBOBJ, ( this will give you the name of the queries)
In key figures choose, Count for BI Appl. (0TCTWTCOUNT).
(number for query run)
Create a condition , for top 20.
Hope this helps.

What font does iTunes use for inserts??

I know it uses Lucida Grande for iTunes itself, but what font does it use when printing out a jewel case insert? I have a project that is a gift and want the fonts on the iTunes insert to match what I am putting together for the spines.

Still looking if anyone knows.

What is the maximum size the of files we can use for reading and writing

Hi
i have attached a vi which i use to read and write reports.
My system would run continuosly for more than 2 days, typically i expect a file size of 30MB per day. I keep on appending the data in the file.
The VI everytime opens the file appends it and closes.
Does this affect the performance as the file size increases?
What is the effective way to do it?
Is there any file size restriction in windows?

First: The performance by increasing file size depends from the file system (FAT32 or NTFS) you are using. NTFS will be better if the file size increases. Also the size of the partition will have an effect on this.
Second: The effective way will be not to close and reopen the file. Use "File I/O > Advanced File Functions > Flush File" to write the file to the system instead of File Close and File Open. Flush File will force the file system driver to write the file to disk and update the file information on disk. On NT based systems this will be done with a latency time of 4 seconds. This is even true if you close the file and the time cannot be changed.
Third: There are file restriction to the lenght which do not depend on Windows, they depend on
the file system. FAT32 can handle files until 4 GByte (2^32) and NTFS can handle 2^64 Bytes. Since LV is platform independent the LV file functions can handle only 4 GByte. The offset parameter in the file functions has a I32 data type.

I have a Classic Ipod used for music and photos. When I downloaded latest version of Itunes, the photo facility seems to have disappeared, Why?

I have used my Apple Classic Ipod for music and photo storeage/playback. When prompted to download a new versionof Itunes (11.1.0) I did so but cannot now locate any facility for removing/adding photos. Is this a deliberate action on the part of the programmers or a mistake. What can i do to recover the siutation?

Many thanks.
With those symptoms, I'd try the following document:

Best File Format to use for iTunes and MAC

I have always used the AAC Encoder set to 256 kbps to import my CDs to iTunes. In preparation for moving to a music server system in the future I want to re-import my CDs at the highest quality (uncompressed) format that I can.
Is my understanding correct that AIFF was developed for use with MAC and basically WAV for Windows? Would it be best for me to use AIFF? Should the settings be left at automatic or set to 16 bit, 44 khz and stereo?
I understand there is a way to take these uncompressed files and compress them later for transfer to my iPod. How is that done? If there are tutorials or other directions on this site or others please feel free to direct me to those. At this point I have not been able to find an answer to my specific questions.
Any other recommendations or suggestions is appreciated.
Thank You
Mike

Macs and iTunes will recognize and play both AIFF and WAV formats. If you want to play the files on Windows machines as well, I'd say use WAV encoding. In order to ensure the quality you want, change the setting from 'Automatic' to 16 Bit, 44.1khz stereo (this is industry standard).
When you want to compress the high quality WAVs, change the import settings to the desired format (mp3/aac etc). Then select the tracks you wish to compress and in the 'Advanced' menu, chose 'Convert selection to mp3/aac'. iTunes will then create duplicate tracks encoded to the desired format.
Hope this answers your question.

What tool does Macromedio use for on-line help?

Does anyone know what kind of tool or set of templates
macromedia uses for

As a guess, I'd say that they use RoboHelp:

A cheaper alternative is Help & Manual which I use:

Just downloaded the 7.1 IOS update and I'm able to stream my music from the cloud. Does this use up data and how can I get it to stop pausing for periods of time?

Just downloaded the 7.1.1 IOS update and I'm able to stream my music from the cloud. I'm wondering how I can stream more than just my purchased music?And does this use up data? Also, how can I get playback to stop pausing for periods of time? It is a wifi thing??

If streaming music when connected to your carrier's cellular network, it uses cellular data.
Only the music you purchased from the iTunes Store can be streamed unless you have purchased iTunes Match.
If there is a slow down at the server where the music is stored or high traffic, steaming can be paused. You can also download a song from the iTunes Store cloud to your iPhone so it doesn't need to be steamed.

What file size is used for "optimized" upload/download?

When I upload my photo files from Aperture (and previously from iPhoto) I routinely use the upload setting named "dowloading of optimized" files. I know that this downsizes the files for faster upload/download, but still gives a file size acceptable for great onscreen presentation and for a resulting small print of someone downloads. Can anyone tell what downsizing Aperture/iPhoto does in this case? For example, 50% jpeg, email sized jpeg, etc. Since Apple will kill the MobileMe galleries in June I have to switch to another photo presentation host. For upload to such a host Aperture/iPhoto gives choices like 100% jpeg, 50% jpeg, etc. What I want to do is end up with something similar to what I now get with the "optimized" setting. Thank you.

You will note that I referenced both programs (iPhoto & Aperture) in my original message above, and I have posted in both forums. Since both programs offer the same (at least on the surface) option of "optimized" to MobileMe galleries, one might assume that both use the same or a similar system. Lengthly testing of my own is the "best" solution only if I can not find anyone who is knowledgeable about what these programs do in the upload. It has been my sincere joy over many many years that I often find people on these forums who possess knowledge much greater than I. As to the programs changing the algorithum at any time, I doubt that since this MobileMe function will disappear in June. Seems like a strange time to make changes.
