  I have an IMac with time machine and time capsule. If I buy a large external hard drive can back up all my Lightroom Info but also everything else to go to time machine, & that it saves on hard drive new, after he made a backup to time capsule?  This way, I would have two backups.

  Hi marinersr,

  I'm not sure the backup machine capsule/time, but according to me, that it backs up all data on your hard drive.

  Yes, you can back up the Lightroom catalog on the hard disk external.

  You can set the time of the backup under the catalog settings > backup > he would invite to the backup, when you exit Lightroom > click on select next to the location and specify the location as your new hard drive.

  If you want images of both original backup, you can configure to create a second copy of the images on your external drive during import.

  Kind regards

• Empty and closed iTunes library iTunes Library.itl file.

  Every time I open iTunes, my library is empty.
  I ve already tried to open iTunes, all holding the SHIFT key, but not matter which library I get, iTunes opens always empty.
  After trying that, I started to look around for other ways to recover from my library. People told me to uncheck the 'read only' to my iTunes folder. I did, but I received a message stating that the iTunes Library.itl file was locked and I had no access. I clicked on 'ignore' and uncheck the rest of the files and folders have given no problem.
  I then examined the .itl file, the read-only box was not checked, to my surprise. However, the option of archiving, a. But because the file is locked, I couldn't change a thing.
  After that, I read about "unlocker", I downloaded then, but that has not changed a thing either.
  Also, when I checked the iTunes folder earlier, the read-only option was checked again!
  I hope someone here can solve my problem, because I have really no idea how solve it on my own now.
  Thanks in advance!

• Problem with the importation and storage of library

  I have sewing miss the logic in the import and storage of the photos in the library. This causes a situation that whenever I need a picture I need to go to C: and import it. My library is almost empty and I don't see how the images can be stored. In any case, this has created situations where I open the import window and I can see the pictures, but I can't access somehow? I get same messages telling me that there is that a dublicate somewhere, but where, remains a mystery. I am so set on logic in windows to manage and store files and which confuses me maybe? Is there a tutorial "how to import and store your images in Lightroom? Enlighten me about the logic of this.

  Thank you

  Lightroom is a database; not a file browser. A file Explorer "focuses on" your records, sees that the pictures are here and allows you to work with them. Lightroom does not. He knows only the photos that have been imported into Lightroom. Once the photo is imported into Lightroom, then Lightroom knows the location of the photo and it's metadata and you can perform tasks (such as editing on the photo). At no time does Lightroom contains your photo. At no time Lightroom stores your photo. But since it is not a file Explorer, if you move or rename or delete the photo outside of Lightroom, then Lightroom no longer knows where's the picture (it is not a file browser) and if the photo is reported as missing (it has a question mark icon) and you can no longer perform tasks on this photo.

  Therefore, once you import a photo in Lightroom, you must perform all the management of this photo of in Lightroom. This means do not move or rename or delete the photo in your operating system or another program. You will need to browse/search the photo in Lightroom, not your operating system. All the actions performed on the photo must be done in Lightroom.

  Why? A database allows you to organize in a way that is not possible (or possible but very difficult) to do in your operating system. The main tool of organization ensuring (in my opinion) by Lightroom's keywords. Keywords and other metadata (captions, titles, collections, etc.) give you the opportunity to organize in ways that folder organization cannot reach.

  In addition, Lightroom allows you to simplify your workflow (if you want). My workflow is very simple. In my workflow, there is no need to move photos from here to there, to reach the organization. A photo comes out a camera and is placed in a folder by default (by date of capture), and he never moves out of this folder again. Instead, I use the keywords and other metadata to enable me to quickly find my photos, and another advantage is that I don't no need to know the pictures are found in the folder. With 22000 photos, I just can't remember what they are stored in folders - it is a task that is impossible for me to do. However, I can find any photo quickly; for example, if the content of the photo is a skyscraper, I simply tell Lightroom to find all my photos that have the keyword "skyscraper" and Lightroom will find that almost instantly and I didn't even have to know which folder the file was in. It is difficult for me to imagine a simple workflow.

  Note: you can continue to use the files as a method of organization, you don't have to use keywords, but you must "respect the rules of Lightroom" and use Lightroom to move pictures from here to there, and you must use the methods of Lightroom to rename your photos; etc. And of course, if your organization only be made via the files and folders, you do not get profits of keywords and other metadata.

  Then, I suggest you do the following with your workflow:

  Import photos into Lightroom once and only once. After that, there are all the management of the pictures that have been imported into Lightroom. Photos should be assigned keywords as appropriate and enter captions, titles and other metadata. All the searching and browsing of photos that were imported should be made in Lightroom, preferably using keywords and other metadata.

  Double click on the text on the right side of the display panel does not cause a dialog box open. I just need to know where the dialog box is so I can add the drop shadow

• Understand and manage the library.

  Hello!

  I just noticed the "this computer / library with the name ' button in the upper left corner of iTunes.

  I went in "to name library', and what I've seen there is a part of my music (not all my music) is not well organized (some older Genres are in there that I used to have) and some old playlists that I used to have.

  1_ how this music go?

  2_ KESAKO? (The library).

  3_ how I can manage it? (Organize/delete files, etc.)

  1 million thanks!

  Chris.

  If you see this control at the left end of the horizontal bar, which means that there is another computer on your local network that has iTunes home sharing is enabled.  This computer is the choice for the use of the iTunes library on your computer.  Library name is the choice to use the library iTunes shared on the other computer.

  NOTE: If two users are currently connected to the same computer in different user accounts, shared iTunes library could also be in the other user account.

  So, if you select the library name, you see songs in the iTunes library.  One who uses this computer put the songs in the iTunes library and it manages.

• Problems with iTunes library shared between 2 computers

  I have a rather unique situation where I have a single iTunes library that is shared by both computers. It has worked well for years, until lately. Here is my configuration:

  • Mac iMac server software. All my music is on a USB drive 3 TB (named 'music'), attached to the mac. Its static IP address is 192.168.1.15.
  • MacBook Air. This computer connects to the iMac on the LAN, where the iTunes library lives, as well as all the music.

  Each computer is running OS X 10.11.2. All I have to do is to make sure that iTunes is left on a mac, before I start it on the other.

  The problem that happens lately, is that on the iMac, for some songs (not all), when I try to play them, he tries to access it through the network on its own IP address, which gives an error that it cannot connect to the server at 192.168.1.15. It's like the iTunes on the iMac it'S the iTunes on the Macbook Air, if it tries to access music on the network, on himself.

  iTunes works fine on the Macbook Air, but I noticed sometimes when I play iTunes, it mounts a second instance of hard drive of the music, because I see in a finder window that it is connected to the iMac and also connected to 192.168.1.15 (IP address of the iMac).

  I opened the iTunes library XML file and noticed that there are a bunch of songs which the path is "/ volumes/music-1/musicfolder/songname.mp3", but most were "/ volumes/music/musicfolder/songname.mp3". So I did a search and replace for 'music-1' to change it to just "music". This does not seem to make any difference with the problem, and when I have opened the XML file, I saw that iTunes had sprinkled in a lot of instances 'music-1' again.

  So my question is:

  How to return to the iMac looking for its music files locally, instead of through the LAN, on its own IP address? If the path in the XML file is "/ volumes/music/musicfolder/songname.mp3", which then determines whether iTunes search for this path locally or via the LAN? Is this info in the iTunes library. ITL file?

  Help! Thank you.

  iTunes creates the .xml for other applications to use. The .xml content 90% reflect the content of the .itl. iTunes uses only the .itl.  If you want the .itl update changes in the .xml, you need to delete (or remove) the .itl, then launch iTunes. It will start with an empty library, and then you import the .xml. Note This will deliver the game counts to zero, delete all the logs and reset the date of addition to our days.  By doing what you have just used iTunes the .itl as usual and has replaced the .xml as it usually does, with the same credentials as before.

  I don't know the cause of the problem or the real nature of it.  It can be by using the server software is at the origin of this.  iTunes is not really set up for connections to the server of fancy, simple old external hard drives.  Usually when I see this kind of question on the forum it is because someone uses a library on a NAS.

• iTunes library on NAS shared with every Mac.

  Okey, so I saw a lot of info on iTunes on a NAS share and I have read tons and tons of messages without a complete solution.

  So that's what I have today;

  1 Macbook Pro 15 "

  2 Macbook Pro 13 "

  1 mini Mac (connected to my Samsung TV and the stereo downstairs)

  1 NAS Synology 216 readers to play with 2x3GB

  Remote-app on my iOS devices so that I can change the music on the stereo without a computer

  Everything is connected to the same WiFi of course

  I want to spend my whole library iTunes into ONE on the NAS and then I want to

  (1) in order to access all the music on all computers

  2 (a) be able to add more music

  (b) sometimes I need to change the title of a song/album details may change the genre or add words etc.

  iTunes on the NAS server is to create.

  I compiled all the music in a library on the Macbook pro 15 "and used the following settings in iTunes under Advanced

  -Keep iTunes Media folder organized

  -Copy files to iTunes Media folder when adding to library

  -Sharing iTUnes library XML with other applications

  Also changed genres and all about the songs/albums to make everything as I want

  Moved the folder iTunes with everything on the NAS in music/iTunes

  And hold the ALT key when starting iTunes and then I choose the music/iTunes and then it took a few minutes and asked if he should copy all files

  so I said yes here.

  Now, it seems that I can share all the music on the NAS, but I can't

  1) click a song and change its genres, etc album name when I add the new music

  QUESTIONS

  So is it possible that I missed something, so why can't I just edit?

  Should I hold the ALT key and the library directly in NAS server folder and let them copy all files on the Mac Mini and the 2 13 "Macbook Pro is as well?

  Anyone who has this problem?

• Missing iTunes library and playlists... Please help

  Hello, this morning to my horror, I started iTunes and all my 20,000 songs and playlists, I spent years developing are absent.  Would it be a problem with my hard drive or a disk that allows iTunes search startup files?  I checked the path to the file and it seems that the music is always in their folders however re import all would not get the playlists back and on top of that the last backup I have was from 2014.    Can anyone help

  It is possible that your iTunes library file has become corrupted, so iTunes has started up with a new iTunes library.  Or you may have accidentally set iTunes to open a new iTunes library.  If you use the default configuration, the iTunes library file is located in your iTunes folder and called iTunes Library.itl, to this place

  [startup drive] /Users/ [your name of user account] / music/iTunes/iTunes Library.itl

  NOTE: The iTunes library file is a database that defines your iTunes library.  It contains no files media real iTunes, which are organized and stored separately.

  Go to this location using a Finder window; What do you see?  If you see a file called iTunes Library.itl here, quit iTunes (if you run) and use this method to open iTunes using this library file.

  Open a different iTunes library file or create a new - Apple Support

  If it does not open or if you still get a library empty in iTunes, you use Time Machine to back up your boot drive?  If you do, you can restore your library iTunes from a State of backup file (date/time) when it does not have this problem.  In your case, it would be immediately before the last time you used iTunes with a working library.  Time Machine does incremental backups every hour, so this should be very close to when the problem occurred, if your iTunes library should be updated more often.

  If you do not have a backup (why not?) of your user data, look in the folder iTunes for a folder called Previous iTunes Libraries.  iTunes, these backups when there is a major update to iTunes, in the case where something bad happens or the user must go back to a previous version of iTunes for some reason any.  If the last backup of 'previous' iTunes library is not too old, you can use this library file to open iTunes, using this procedure

  If you do not see your content once you update iTunes - Apple Support

• Music using Apple without replacing the iTunes library

  I have a carefully organized iTunes library consisting of more than 2000 CDs ripped in high quality AIFF 16/44 and more than 1000 LPs ripped in high quality AIFF 24 / 96.  I corrected mistakes in album art and metadata over the last decade in the construction of this library.

  I am interested in the plan on the part of Apple music family.  We have 3 AppleTV that I would be able to use the service on 3 iPhones and 3 iPads.

  What should I do to make sure that I don't experience that some have, there where Apple music begins to overwrite all files and associated data in my current iTunes library folder with files of quality lower and data from Apple's music?

  I don't think he could emphasize enough that you need to secure a complete backup of your existing music and the iTunes library files that you have obviously invested a lot of time in. Only then would consider allowing music to Apple.

• I can't move folders/files in the iTunes library

  Hello

  I am reorganizing my iTunes library after the implementation of a server. Even if I used the dialog box in iTunes (Preferences) to move the files, many, many links were broken. There is now a location in the library moved with the following path: X:\iTunes Library\Music\Unknown Artist\Unknown Album. The files in this folder are all parts of the existing albums. The rest of the songs from these albums are properly located in the location of the library, which is to library X:\iTunes. Most of these files is purchased AAC files. The files are not corrupt, by what they play. They also seem to have the correct information, when I look in the Properties dialog box, or query information through read in iTunes. In iTunes, it is ALWAYS the path: X:\iTunes Library\Music\artist\album, with the annexed artist/Album information. For example: X:\iTunes Library\Music\Michael buble\christmas\01 it starts to resemble a large number of Like.m4a. I would like to move these files to their correct locations in X:\iTunes Library\artist\album, as well as the rest of the files in the albums they are detached. When I try to move the files, they are not being apparently copied or moved. If I connect them to the entries in iTunes after the move or double click on it to play in iTunes, they disappear from the new location and reappear in a folder with the path X:\iTunes Library\Music\Unknown Artist\Unknown Album or one with a path like this: X:\iTunes Library\Music. I have no solution to this problem, I have tried everything I know to do to fix and searching newsgroups for a solution. I'm on Win10 and iTunes 12.3.1.23. Help, please. This is driving me crazy.

  Scott D.

  The typical reason for the files are moved to the folder unknown Artist\Unknown Album is that they do not have a tag or the tag is empty. This is true of all the files in the .wav format, as they have tags. In some cases, mp3 files may have several tags, that maybe not all the same data and including an iTunes reads or updates is not set. ITunes can finally move things forward in the wrong folder where there are permissions issues, but usually that moves things to a level or in rare cases throw them on the desktop.

  When you say that allowing you to move the preferences files, you update the path in the media folder and then consolidate library (create copies, leaving you to delete the originals by hand) or did you move them by hand and then update the file? This second method is a common cause of problems. When it works it is a happy coincidence. It is not how you are supposed to move content from iTunes.

  In a modern iTunes library, the correct layout for the elements of music is \Music\- with other types of media stored in different subfolders ------.

  Follow the steps to repair the security permissions for iTunes for Windows to your Media X:\iTunes library folder.

  Verify under file > library > library organize the box to reorder the files is grayed out. In case contrary it check now and apply. It should reorganize and files located in ------------ form. He pourrait also move things out of unknown Artist\Unknown Album.

  Look for the entry in the library for one of the files that is still unknown Artist\Unknown Album and information. Check that album & artist are filled. What format is the file? A correction in the name of the song, for example to add an end of X. Assuming you have the possibility to keep organized activated now moves to the right folder? If so turn keep organized power off, then turn it back on it. Who should correct the other misplaced items.

• El Capitan permissions bad for lib with multiple users

  On my Mac with multiple users and running El Capitan, I encountered a problem with an application (GoGlobal) failed to start with "errno = 13", which is a problem of permissions with usr/local/lib /.

  I determined that on Yosemite, usr/local/lib was owned by root and permissions: drwxr-xr-x. However, on El Capitan, usr/local/usr / local / lib lib is owned by one of the nicks (random?) and has permissions drwx-, which is the source of the errno = 13.

  I got around the problem by chmod 755 to lib /, but I fear that a future update will reset these permissions impassable previous values. Please correct these settings in install and update routines.

  GoGlobal isn't a request to Apple. You can send your message to the developer, who develops not only the Application itself, but the installation script that puts in place of its components.
