Help!  Large iTunes library split into two locations, how to fix?

Long ago, I told iTunes to store its iTunes Media on a NAS file and I copied the iTunes folder all my D: to the NAS unit.  I also said iTunes to keep organized records and copy files of music added to the NAS.

I just found out by examining the XML file that iTunes thinks about half of my music files (~ 7,000 of them) are located on the D: drive and other ~ 7 000 are there where I want it all, on the NAS.  Number of files on the NAS which I however contained artist/album music files are empty; the files appear to have been erased and are still on the D: drive where the XML points to them.  Management of iTunes files (XML. ITL, etc..) iTunes is now current are also on the D: drive... those on the NAS are not kept up to date.

I thought my massive library - countless hours to rip my CD - safe on the multi-plate RAID NAS.  Goes, if I lose my D: drive (which I was backup is no longer) I lose half of my library and all of my iTunes administrative folders.  Ouch!

How can I get safely iTunes exclusively use the SIN for all the data files and of the administration?

If I re - copy data from D: to the NAS and edit the XML file to point to the NAS for all files, iTunes will not even watch D: for the management of the library?  How can I do forget d everything?

Thanks in advance for any help.

By modifying the file XML will not help at all - iTunes only writes to this file, the bed ever.  Assuming that all of your media plays correctly then you should be able to consolidate your library (file > library > organize library > consolidate files).  This will copy all the multimedia files that are not in the iTunes media folder location specified in Edit > Preferences > advanced to this location.  Note, however, that many reports suggest that iTunes + SIN is not an ideal combination; You can be better to use a standard external drive for your library and use the NAS device for backups.  You can also watch the advice to user turingtest2 on do a split cell library for more details on the optimization of available to your library.

  • Move the large Itunes library to QNAP nas

    I have a very large iTunes library (28000 + tracks) and move it to a QNAP TS119 nas (disc), so as to add titles to my library my SONOS system can access without the need for my Mac to be marketed.

    My question, where should I put on the NAS and what is the best way to transfer files?

    When the files are on the NAS I just point itunes to that folder on the NAS Server?

    And finally if all goes wrong I can simply point itines in the original file on the Mac.

    I have other forms of return such as external hard drives, a time machine WD as well as a sharecentre from D-Link (2 Bay) which I am also faced with.

    Thank you very much.

    Moving a library: quick response if you use preferences by default iTunes settings: copy the folder integer iTunes (and to ensure that all of its subfolders and files) intact at the other disk, hold down the option/ALT key to start iTunes and on request to select a library select iTunes Library.itl file in the copied folder.

    Or you can move only the media: 12 iTunes for Mac: change where are stored the iTunes files - http://support.apple.com/kb/PH19507

    With a NAS you live with some risk. iTunes and NAS not always play well together and there are regular positions here where file locations is stripped completely with use NAS (I think this has something to do with the NAS software).  During an iTunes update can cause complete failure of the library when on a NAS to what NAS manufacturers publish a software update.  If you use the NAS I suggest you use a hard drive regularly to store your library and use the NAS for backup.  If you use the NAS, I would put the entire library on it, not only the multimedia files.

  • moving iTunes library to a new location, then the old location is no longer available

    I just restored the iTunes folder and all subfolders, including multimedia content of amy (music, videos,...), on a drive hard new, because the old hard drive is broken.

    So, now, for every song, iTunes tells me "the song... couldn't be used because the original file cound not be found. You want to locate? ». Hope, I don't have to do this for every song in my library... What can I do?

    Go to iTunes > Preferences > advanced. At the top is where the location of your iTunes library is specified. Click on edit and then specify the new location

  • Why my cadratins split into two quadratins only in digital format (ebook)?  How to stop this?

    I work for a Publisher and we use InDesign to implement our print files can be downloaded (usually in PDF format).

    Then, I create a new file for ebooks, remove pages additional, marking the table of entries contained as hyperlinks, etc. internal.

    Given that the Kindle plugin is still in beta and cannot, for some reason, recognize a table of contents created using hypertext links (even if that's what specify instructions), I convert it to an ePub, check, make all necessary revisions, except that as the upload of ePub.

    Can I convert the ePub in mobi using Calibre.

    In both cases, my cadratins are divided into two quadratins in digital versions.  I use the low InDesign Type menu to select the em dash and it appears as a single symbol or glyph.  Print file seems perfect.  It is only when it is converted to a digital format that the em dash is divided into aligned format.

    I need to find a glyph special to use does not appear in my font (Times New Roman)?  I really need to fix this!  Any help is appreciated.

    Hello

    Thanks for sharing files. In the "OutpassageEbookTextcontent.indd" document, instead of an em dash, two quadratins are used and it is probably the reason why you see in the EPUB. You can use the find/change dialog box to understand when these are used. I sent an email stating in many places where they are used as your files may be confidential and I abstained from publishing excerpts of text on the forum. Please take a look and let me know if I have not understood your problem.

  • Move iTunes library to a different location on the computer

    Hello

    I use the latest version of iTunes running on MacBook Air El Capitan. I'd like to keep my music library on my Mac itself that I travel and may or may not have connectivity.

    Now, my library grew to about 45 GB and get the crisis for space on my MacBook.

    Question: I have an extra car for the MacBook and you want to move my entire library over there, but don't know how to do without adding all the files again. (I have 45 GB of songs but only 65 to 70% of it are added to ITunes). Also note that I have disabled the option move files added to the iTunes folder.

    Thank you

    Moving a library: quick response if you use preferences by default iTunes settings: copy the folder integer iTunes (and to ensure that all of its subfolders and files) intact at the other disk, hold down the option/alt key (shift on Windows) keys to start iTunes and on request to select a library select iTunes Library.itl file in the copied folder. Open a different iTunes library file or create a new one - https://support.apple.com/HT201596

    However, you say that you have disabled iTunes organize media. I too use this setup and moved to my library from player to player, but I did pass my HDD and the system to another drive. I suspect since you use songs outside the normal structure that iTunes must use the addressing very specific to keep track of these files and this address should not remain the same on the new drive.  You do not specify files scattered how are.  You can (or not) find that copy the folder iTunes main and all the individual media files wherever they are exactly the same directory structure, more to appoint the external drive exactly the same thing that your internal drive doesn't work. Moving a library to another drive when the Manager media yourself is not something iTunes like and is a consequence of do you things like that.

  • RESOLVED: External Volume RAID 5 TPG "split into two" once connected to the new Windows 7 64 bit install

    I have an AMS Venus T5J external drive enclosure (DS-2350J); It is filled with disks Western Digital 1 terabyte Caviar Green 5, model WD10EADS.  The device of Venus using a control panel with a JMicron JMB393 chipset, which is able to create RAID volumes to a connected host system transparently.  I used it to create a volume of 4 terabyte RAID 5 covering all five disks.  I've been accessing using a laptop Toshiba P105-S9337 with a card PCMCIA Vantec eSATA interface, which worked, but was not very effective.  Of course, it was necessary to structure the volume as TPG due to its size.  That has been a challenge.

    My primary system was Windows XP 32-bit installed, which does not support GPT disks.  I experimented with Ubuntu and another distribution of Linux, which supports the GPT, but ran into problems to mount the RAID 5 volume transparently (it may have partially been my inexperience, but it * should * have been easier).

    So I decided I have to install Windows 7 on this system, so that I could get access to this RAID her volume.  The system is based on an Asus M2N SLI Deluxe motherboard, which has an eSATA port integrated driven by a JMicron JMB363 chipset (NOT capable port multiplier).

    Windows 7 installation, installation of the JMicron driver for the motherboard and log box RAID, Windows little wanted to assign the 'disc' a new disk ID in order to to use.  I met regularly this process in the past without problems, when the new disks are presented on a Windows system, so I thought that anything that allows him to do.  However, has as expected making accessible existing volume.  After investigation, I discovered that Disk Manager believes that there is a space UNALLOCATED 1.67 TB and nothing more!

    At this point, I was naturally anxious, because I had data on the volume.  I checked the volume by connecting it to the laptop Windows 7 (32-bit) with whom he had previously worked and found a slightly different and more revealing image in disk management: there were TWO regions illustrated for the disk, an exactly 2 TB and the other TB to a 1.67, this last occupant clearly space greater than 2 TB.  These two regions, yet once, were listed as unallocated.  In both systems, Windows 7 was also clearly assumed the volume she TPMS, since the two I saw the option convert to GPT... which is already!

    That's happened?  Simply allowing Windows write a disc ID to this volume somehow corrupt?  How can I recover the previous volume of 3.67 unique TB who was present?  Should I just order in disk management to convert it to a GPT disk?  Is a non-destructive operation?

    I solved this problem with a perfect result...

    In short, I could use TestDisk to recover completely with all data intact original partition table.  It took several tries, several hours waiting for the paint to peel (scanning) and finally a brief dialogue with the proponent (Christophe Grenier).

  • How to add asterics to line when an item in the line splits into two and only one line display.

    
    
    

    Here, the title is a bit confusing, I completely realize that but here's what I'm trying to accomplish. I have a table with a column that repeats.

    the table looks like this.

    create table testCheck (check_num varchar2(20), amount number(17,2), invh_Code varchar2(20))
    
    

    and it contains data as follows

    INSERT INTO "TESTCHECK" (CHECK_NUM, AMOUNT, INVH_CODE) VALUES ('001', '50', '1123')
    INSERT INTO "TESTCHECK" (CHECK_NUM, AMOUNT, INVH_CODE) VALUES ('001', '50', '1123')
    INSERT INTO "TESTCHECK" (CHECK_NUM, AMOUNT, INVH_CODE) VALUES ('002', '100', '1234'
    
    

    I would like to write a query that would give me of the separate check_num, but put an asterisk on the elements that are in fact double.

    so in other words expected result in this case is as follows.

    "CHECK_NUM" "AMOUNT" "INVH_CODE"
    "001*" 50 "1123"
    "002" 100 "1234"
    

    I could go as far as getting unique values, but what I can't do, it is understand for the life of me how to put the asterisk in there.

    Here's my query.

    with Checkquery as (         
    SELECT  count(*) over (partition by CHECK_NUM order by CHECK_NUM ROWS UNBOUNDED PRECEDING ) thiscount, CHECK_NUM,  AMOUNT,  INVH_CODE
    FROM  TESTCHECK
    group by
    check_num,
    AMOUNT,
    INVH_CODE)
    select check_num, amount,invh_Code from Checkquery where thiscount ='1';
    
    

    can someone tell me please in the right direction. I just want to identify the dups put an asterisk on the record and then only select records.

    According to your last post, you keep what is displayed for the other columns, so why display them at all, so this will do the job.

    SELECT check_num.

    Decode (to_char (Count (*)), '1', NULL,'* ') dup_checks

    TO define by test

    GROUP BY check_num;

    If you want to view the other columns, you have two choices. You must either put some sort of aggregate function in the list of selection, such as min, max, or sum, or they need to be part of the group.

  • having its games and library but not web sites.how to fix

    I have a hp omini 100. I have his games and start the sounds and in the library, but not on websites like you tube or web md or any other vidios I met. HELP PLEASE!

    Luke bryan, welcome to the forum.

    Here are some suggestions on what to check:

    If you hear no sound when playing a YouTube video, try these troubleshooting steps:

    1. Set the volume on your computer and speakers.
    2. The volume located in the lower left corner of the YouTube video player.
    3. Restart your browser.
    4. Try to increase the volume for other video players (like Quicktime, Real Player or Windows Media player).

    If you have still no sound after completing the steps above, these tips can help:

    • Update your Flash Player to the latest version.
    • Allow third-party Flash on your computer content. Learn more by visiting the Adobe help page.
    • Check anti-virus software and firewall to see if its blocking third-party Flash content.

    Try to see if anyone of them help.

  • Windows media Player library said that he corrupted how to fix this?

    How can I fix my Media Player as it says I can't play some files as it is corrupt, I'm not very computer im still learning.i tried the troobleshooter but it is not solved the problem.

    Hello

    1. what operating system do you use?

    Method1: I suggest you run the troubleshooter to library and check if that helps.

    Open the troubleshooter in the Windows Media Player library

    http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows7/open-the-Windows-Media-Player-library-Troubleshooter

    Method2: It would be possible that the files in the directory that stores Media Player may contain corrupted data. Go to the following directory and delete all the files in the folder. Test if the problem recurs.

    %UserProfile%\AppData\Local\Microsoft\Media Player

    Note: Please save the contents of the directory first.

    Method 3: Reinstall Windows Media Player

     

    As a last resort, try to uninstall and reinstall Windows Media Player.

    This version fixes most of the problems of corruption of Windows Media Player.

    Note that uninstalling Windows Media Player 12 also disables Windows Media Center because WMC uses WMP12 to its operation.

    See the steps in the article.

Also why have child pages if the menu reflects that? I see that drop down menus are a problem, also with some other members of the forum.

    For some reason any the facebook widget now load the right page and I give up on the drop down menu, I hope that this issue will be resolved in the next update of Muse?

    Hello

    For the issue of the "asset", try to locate assets in the active panel. It must have an icon like this: http://jingsite.businesscatalyst.com/jing/2013-12-16_0917.png

    For children in the edition of menu pages, go to menu options (by clicking on the small blue arrow in the upper right of the menu), and then change the type of menu to 'All the Pages' instead of 'high level Pages '.

    I hope this helps.
