Got a question about technology? Ask it here. Discussion of hardware, software, TiVos, multi-region DVDs, Windows, Macs, LINUX, hand-helds, iPods, anything tech related. Better than any helpdesk!
OK, I see I have what seems to be a legit iTunes library from September. Can I just get that one back in? I don't even know what would be missing (not much, I think), but it would be way better than this mishegas I have now!
I'm guessing that's why they keep Previous iTunes Libraries in a folder, huh.
DVR downlaod via firewire update: it appears that the reason I had so much trouble figuring out what was going on is that it doesn't make sense. I can successfully migrate (if realtime recording can be called migrating) Chuck and Friday Night Lights, but not K-Ville, which was what I arbitrarily started testing.
I guess I don't have to understand it if I can make it work.
Longshot hivemind question:
At my office we have a new copier/fax/scanner that receives faxes in pdf format into a folder on our server called "Faxes". Right now, someone has to double click on that folder every so often to check if any new faxes have come in. Does anyone know of a program I can run on my computer that will alert me every time a fax is received into that folder, or every time the folder has been modified?
Some of those come with a software that checks for you.
What model is the FSC?
OMG I hate iTunes so MUCH.
I got a new external hard drive--500GB! Yay!-- and I thought it would be simple to just copy over my music folder to the new hard drive. Which I did--except now iTunes can't read any of my playlists. Where does iTunes hide the playlist data and how do I make it move them? Or do I have to suck it up and rebuild my playlists?
Moving all your iTunes music to an external drive is not as simple as one might think.

Ooh! Bookmarked!
I plan on getting an external drive like 'Suela's sometime soon, so that's useful information. Thanks, tommyrot!
Thank you, Tommyrot! I was trying to avoid consolidating my library, but clearly that is not possible.
Off to make the fix.
When I moved my stuff, it has somehow given three copies of each thing, and I am having to manually delete the dupes. My library was not very organized to begin with and was all over my computer. It has been very confusing.
