Where did these tracks come from?

I was helping a friend hook up his IPOD. His IPOD was given to him by a friend. ITUNES was already on his PC.
When I connected the IPOD, ITUNES started "converting" a bunch of songs from one format to antoher. It took so long I had to cancel it. But already there were about 10 albums that had been "converted" and now appeared in his library.
I just assumed these were songs from his IPOD. But when I browsed the IPOD using the ipod screen, it shows up empty.
(1) Where did these songs come from?
(2) How would I get the rest of the songs, wherever they are?
(NOTE FYI -- I also am having a problem updating, can't update ipod, option is greyed out. I tried "restoring" the ipod, no help. I didn't do a reset because I did't know how. I will when I return)

I'm always willing to be proven wrong, but to my understanding iTunes will under no circumstances add music from your iPod into the library on the PC. There is no supported way to move music from the iPod to the PC.
There are, however, 3rd party applications that will do this.
As for where the imported music was coming from, my guess would be an existing Mp3 or wma music collection the person had on their PC. If itunes searched the pc for music when it first was installed, and found files not in .m4a format, it would convert them and import them into the library.
What are the tracks? It could have even been importing the sample music or system sounds that come with windows, I suppose.

  • Where Does These Handles Come From In Color v1?

    When i add handles in Color where are they coming from?
    i.e.
    if the clip goes to color as a say 3 second clip. I then grade it and add a 5 frame handle.
    Does the 5 frames come from the clip in motion or doe it come from the footage before an after the fcp edit points?
    if it comes from what i sent then how do i maintain my edit/style rhythm of cuts?

    in@ 00:03:20 and then out@ 00:04:20...
    If those numbers are the source time code *at 23.98 fps*, there would be 24 frames in that clip. If you did not add handles, a new clip (#_1.mov) would be rendered and placed in the COLOR project render directory of your choosing. On Send To FCP, a new clip with the old reference name (but pointing to the new media) will appear on the FCP sequence and it will be 24 frames starting at 3:20 and ending at 4:20.
    If you request the addition of 4-frame handles, the clip will be rendered with a duration of 2444=32 frames. The clip "#_1.mov" source time code will be 3:16 to 5:00 (remembering this is 24 fps). When it appears on the FCP timeline, a one-second clip will show up and it will be In/3:20, Out/4:20, but you will be able to slip it +/- 4 frames or add up to a 4-frame transition outside the
    selected pickup points.
    It has not much to do with the master time code of the edit sequence, the handles only get added to the "source" clip, but it does not affect its pickup or duration on the master sequence. On the Master sequence, you would still only see the 24 original frames... but if you wanted to trim the edit a couple of frames, you would have them.
    You must understand that COLOR generates new independent media, usually ONLY the selected footage on the timeline. Handles are a way of generating extra media in an attempt to build in some post-lock flexibility, and they do not affect the edited sequence selection in any other way.

  • Where did this volume come from?

    I was just about to burn a disk image I made from iDVD onto a DVD-R and when I was using Disk Utility to set it up I got a window titled "Select Image to Burn" that listed the following volumes.
    iMac Clone
    Macintosh HD
    Microsoft Office 2000 Pro.dmg
    Netfolder
    Time Machine.
    I recognize the Microsoft Office 2000 Pro.dmg as something I used when I was trying to set up Virtual PC but I don't know why it is in this list or how to get rid of it. It is not on my desktop and this is the first time I've seen it. I tried to drag it to the trash but it still remains. All of the other volumes I recognize.
    Where and what is this file and how do I get rid of it?
    Thanks,
    David

    Try this:
    1. In the Finder's Go menu items, select the "Go to Folder..." option
    2. Type in this
    /Volumes
    and hit the the Go button
    3. A new Finder window will open displaying the contents of the otherwise invisible Volumes folder
    4. Check the list--what SHOULD be there are just aliases to all your mounted drives, if the errant dmg file is there drag it out and onto the Desktop
    Sometimes mishaps happen and odd things get lodged in the /Volumes folder. Sound like this might be the case.

  • Where did "My Search come from? is it from Fire Fox?

    I recently discovered a new home page on my browser "My Search" is this from Mozilla?
    How do I get rid of it? it dosn't show up on installed programs . therefore I presume it is part of Fire Fox

    Hello,
    This may be an add-on that silently installed. Check in safe mode if you are experiencing this issue. <br>
    '''Try Firefox Safe Mode''' to see if the problem goes away. [[Troubleshoot Firefox issues using Safe Mode|Firefox Safe Mode]] is a troubleshooting mode that turns off some settings and disables most add-ons (extensions and themes).
    ''(If you're using an added theme, switch to the Default theme.)''
    If Firefox is open, you can restart in Firefox Safe Mode from the Help menu by clicking on the '''Restart with Add-ons Disabled...''' menu item:<br>
    [[Image:FirefoxSafeMode|width=520]]<br><br>
    If Firefox is not running, you can start Firefox in Safe Mode as follows:
    * On Windows: Hold the '''Shift''' key when you open the Firefox desktop or Start menu shortcut.
    ''Once you get the pop-up, just select "'Start in Safe Mode"''
    [[Image:Safe Mode Fx 15 - Win]]
    '''''If the issue is not present in Firefox Safe Mode''''', your problem is probably caused by an extension, and you need to figure out which one. Please follow the [[Troubleshoot extensions, themes and hardware acceleration issues to solve common Firefox problems]] article to find the cause.
    ''To exit Firefox Safe Mode, just close Firefox and wait a few seconds before opening Firefox for normal use again.''
    When you figure out what's causing your issues, please let us know. We can help look into what happened and to possibly block that add-on if possible. If you find out what add-on it is, please go to Firefox button -> Help -> Troubleshooting Information and from there find the add-on and the extension ID. This might help others with the same problem.
    Thank you.

    Open the AirPort icon and move down to the name of your network, and you'll see that you can turn off or on that display of the network's uptime since last restart.

  • Where did this ? come from in my finder?

    I just realized there was a ? mark in my finder and decided to click on it. And it says item cannot be found. Is this something new?

    If there wasn't previously a file or folder there, control-click it and choose Remove Item or Customize Toolbar and remove it, or command-click it and drag it out. If there was, that item may have been moved or deleted.

  • Where does skype signal come from

    Okay, I have skype finally. But after reading skype info I still didn't get an idea of how it works. Basically where does the signal come from. Is it like a cellphone or do you have to be near something. Oddly enough, there's no real explanation on these forums. Or at least the ones I've read. It seems that its VOIP, whatever that is. Does it need wireless, or cells... can I call to someone driving in my car or get a call from someone. What are the limitations? Confused.  

    Skype is a VoIP provider.  VoIP providers use Internet access in order to make phone calls.  If you are home you can use your phone's WiFi to obtain Internet access from your home's wireless router.  If you are not you can use either your phone's  2G/3G/4G data plan or the Internet from any WI-Fi access point you have access to in the area.

  • No longer have my photos in iCloud. Where did they go? From iphone5--checked and photo stream

    No longer have my photos in iCloud. Where did they go? From iphone5--checked and photo stream is turned on.

    goa1889 wrote:
    In icloud? Didn't realize there was a time limit for my icloud storage.
    Photostream is separate from iCloud backups.  Were the photos part of the backup, or only part of Photostream?
    If they were part of the backup, then restore your device from the iCloud backup.
    If they were only part of Photostream, then that is, again, temporary storage, for up to 30 days.  After 30 days, the photos may or may not be available.
