SuaveStar Posted November 5, 2011 Report Share Posted November 5, 2011 Okay I'm having a huge problem with Firefox and I have no, idea why. It seems to freeze every couple of minutes just to fuck with me, is anyone else having this problem? If so could some one please help me? Switch browsers to Google Chrome or Safari. I had the same problems with FF about two years ago, and it was just unresponsive, and slow, so I switched to Chrome, and it runs a lot faster than Firefox ever did. Otherwise, check for an update.

slothian Posted November 7, 2011 Report Share Posted November 7, 2011 (edited) I've freed up a lot of space on my external hard drive to transfer my iTunes library across and free up space on my C: drive. Is there a quick/painless way of transferring 114GB from one to another, or at least backing them up in case something goes wrong? EDIT: Yeah, I could definitely use some help with this. Pillock that I am, I've inadvertantly deleted the last 3 weeks' worth of my podcasts! Edited November 8, 2011 by slothian Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KnightWing Posted November 8, 2011 Report Share Posted November 8, 2011 The easiest way to do it is just to copy and paste your entire iTunes library, then delete the original (using Windows Explorer, assuming you're on a PC. Finder if you're on a Mac) iTunes is gonna have a fit when it realizes that none of its library is still there, but if you delete everything in your iTunes library (AFTER you've already copied the files), then add everything back into it en masse from the external afterwards, it should work. Sometimes iTunes is set to actually copy files into the iTunes folder on your C drive when adding new items; be sure that's not a selected option.

MaxPower Posted February 8, 2012 Report Share Posted February 8, 2012 Has anyone every seen a different way to store files/folders other than the standard c:\ --|_folder -----|_sub folder --------|_ file --|_folder 2 etc? I'm thinking something that is more like a flow chart, where sub folders can be linked to more than 1 main folder? I don't care if it uses the standard windows/mac backend, but is there a front end 'explorer' I can use to fundamentally change how I access and store my files? I found out what this is. It's either called DatabaseFileSystems or FileSystemTags. I haven't found a GUI that is logical, but there is a chance the new Microsoft cloud service could offer something like this. Think of your file system as a blog and every time you save/create/edit a file, you are given the chance to add multiple tags to that file. Then any time you want something for that client, project, time, etc, you just click on that tag and the system displays all the files. I'm pretty excited by this concept, I think it could really increase my productivity. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dc20willsave Posted February 16, 2012 Report Share Posted February 16, 2012 I have my iTunes tracks stored on my external hard drive. I got a new laptop today and I'm trying to share the same library between both computers. Anyone have any clue how to do this? Both are running Windows if that makes any difference.

KnightWing Posted February 17, 2012 Report Share Posted February 17, 2012 The problem is that iTunes stores its library files on the computers, not any external drives, so if one computer added or deleted any music, the other wouldn't know what happened. There's that new syncing feature that all Apple devices have, where if you download something from iTunes on one device, it automatically downloads to all the others, but that would get weird because you'd have both computers putting multiple copies of the same tracks into the external HD, and if it wasn't connected at that time then it'd dump it elsewhere and that'd get messy. The simplest way to do it would be to just put copies of all your music on both computers, or to put it all on one computer and let the other one access it via library sharing. Is there a reason you keep it all on an external drive? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Venneh Posted February 25, 2012 Report Share Posted February 25, 2012 Okay, so, tech support help, plz! Was attempting to open the Breaking Dawn Rifftrax with my iTunes; it abruptly crashed, won't let me reopen it. Restarted the laptop, got it to open up, but as it starts to send stuff to Genius, crashes again and does the same. Any clue what's going on here? Mac OSX, for the OS.

KnightWing Posted February 25, 2012 Report Share Posted February 25, 2012 Is your library really big? There might be a problem with that. Try disabling your internet connection before opening iTunes and see if it still crashes. If it doesn't, try going into preferences and disabling Genius. If worse comes to worse, you can reinstall iTunes, but you'll have to be careful not to delete your library file or you'll have to add your entire library back into iTunes again.

Venneh Posted February 25, 2012 Report Share Posted February 25, 2012 Yeah, disabled the internet, still won't start up. Reinstalled and downgraded to 9.2.1, we'll see how this goes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Professor Posted July 7, 2012 Report Share Posted July 7, 2012 The usb ports on my laptop are dying or dead. This is an issue that I would rather not have, to say the least. My ethernet, card reader and HDMI ports all still work. Anybody know of a converter type cable? I tried to google it, but all I got was everything being converted to usb, which is useless.

KnightWing Posted July 8, 2012 Report Share Posted July 8, 2012 None of those ports are designed to function that way, so no, there's really no option there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MaxPower Posted September 18, 2013 Report Share Posted September 18, 2013 Long shot call for help, but wanted to tap the combined wisdom of everyone here. I've bought my girlfriend a vintage Mickey Mouse phone for her 30th (she once said she always wanted one but never got one as a kid). But while we have a landline, there isn't much calls coming through on it. What I'd love is a device that allows the antique Mickey Mouse phone to receive phone calls from her mobile phone. Is this something that someone would bother making? Either wired or wireless would be fine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dread Posted April 18, 2014 Author Report Share Posted April 18, 2014 Microsoft Office Word 2007. I had a "normal.dotm" error to the point where it would not open a document. This is a difficult thing on a weekend writing retreat. I deleted the "normal" template on my computer, and now it will still not open a working document. Fuck, Anybody seen this? I'm supposed to have an essay submitted Saturday for publication, but I have to write a little more. Help would be appreciated. I'm going to try to go to sleep.

Missy Posted April 18, 2014 Report Share Posted April 18, 2014 I've not seen that error before.For the time being, download NeoOffice. It will open Word documents (though not .docx ones), and can save them as Word docs as well. That said, it used to be free, but now costs $10. If you look around, you can still find older versions online for free. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
