    (MacOS Photos) Unable to copy library from NAS drive to local iMAC drive

    Hi, I have been using Photos on my iMAC with my single photo library located in my NAS Drive. As it is quite slow to always access the NAS, I have decided to move the library to my iMAC locally, and do a backup once in a while instead. But I don't know how to get it work. I first closed photos...

    strange malware detected in library

    Prosoft DriveGenius 5.1, running under OS 10.13.2, detected two malware-infected files which I don't know what to do with. There is an option when running the malware scan to "move infected files to trash," but I elected to delete them manually (if at all) since I do not know what they do and...

    My songs are stuck "waiting" in iTunes iCloud library

    I have number of songs in my iTunes iCloud Library stuck with in the "waiting" status. Not sure what the cause of this is as some songs are uploaded and some are not, there doesn't appear to be a visible pattern for which ones get stuck as they are a mixture of different file types (MP3 and M4A)...

    Syncing with iTunes - Song Deleted from iPhone stays in iTunes PC Library

    Up until now I've always manually managed the songs on my iPhone by dragging them from my PC library to my iPhone. I figured I'd give the sync feature a try, thinking that it would be nice to have any changes I make on my iPhone reflect to my PC, and vice-versa. I enabled syncing for my entire...

    iMac, Logic Pro and virtual instrument libraries

    So, after going back and forth on waiting for the iMac Pro or long-prophesied Mac Pro, I've decided I'll probably get a 2017 iMac and fill it up to the gills with (third party) RAM to use as my next Logic Pro-focused machine. What I'm still on the fence about is how to approach the HD...

    Moving iTunes Library, New Mac can't see most titles

    Hello All, So, I figured I'd ask and see if anybody else has stumbled on this weird issue, and perhaps has a solution. I have been using my Mac Pro with El Capitan 10.11.6 to host my iTunes library for my Apple TV's in the house. Recently, it seemed like it would be a good idea to move that...

    Create Offline Archive of iTunes Library

    As a long time media mizer, I have about 6000 songs that I no longer listen to and I do want them in my "main" library. The songs are problematic when 3rd party apps scan my library to determine my music tastes or when I make a random playlist and in other situations as well. I want to keep the...

    Hide music videos from song library?

    Does anyone know if there is a way to hide music videos from the main song library list without removing them from the device entirely? There used to be a way to do this, so that the videos weren't littering the main song library, but I can't find that option anymore.

    Howdy folks, I updated Final Cut Pro X to 10.3 yesterday. For the first launch, it opened and prompted me to update the library for the new version. I hit accept, it took a few seconds, and opened as usual (with the new enhanced interface). Now, each time I launch Final Cut, I get this...

    Hello, as I am about to be buying a 256GB MacBook Pro I wondered how, exactly, moving your Photos and iTunes Library to an external SSD works. I do not want to only backup to the SSD but rather use the library from there while plugged in, moving the default location for the library to the...
