Creating Itunes smart playlists
Hi, I have several playlists such as sixties/seventies/eighties etc. Can anyone advise me how to make a smart playlist that tells Itunes to exclude any song that it has played from any of these playlists in the past fortnight/month etc so I don't get so many track repeats? Many thanks in advance for any advice given. Best Graham -- The following information is important for all members of the Mac Visionaries list.

iTunes disc access issues
Hi, I recently purchased a new Macbook Pro from Ebay. I migrated all the information across from my Time Capsule which appeared to go wel. However when I try to import new songs from an external drive in to my iTunes using comd o I get the following error Attempting to copy to the disk “Macbook HD” failed. You do not have enough access privileges for this operation. Now I am the administrator and as far as I can tell I have read-write privileges so I don’t understand what is going on here. Can anyone give me a bit of advice? Also, in my old iTunes I had several backups of my iPhone and iPad, these don’t appear to have been transferred Do they show up once you plug your device in when it can see its name? I’m using iTunes 11 under Mavericks 10.9.5 with a Macbook Pro July 2014 with 16gb of ram if that helps. Thanks for any help offered in advance.

Is Winclone 4 usable with Vo?
Hi, I have just bought a new MacBook Pro. I have ccc and a Time Capsule so porting the Mac HD hopefully shouldn't be a problem. I have just read that if you use a program called Winclone you can copy your Bootcamp partition. I just wonder if anyone has used it with VO and found it usable before I purchase?

Xword for Mac
Hi, I have just found a great word processor program in the App Store called Xword. The version I have tried is the free version. It was so accessible I was amazed. There is a full version for £6.99 which I will buy if its as accessible. I wondered if anyone had tried the paid for app and what they thought of it?

Struggling with new iTunes Interface
Hi Esther, Big thanks for your help. Worked like a charm. Pity to get it to work I've had to revert back to the old look. I could make things work with the new look but god it was slow and cumbersome compared to how it used to be.

Struggling with the new iTunes interface
Hi, Ever since I installed the new iTunes I've had loads of problems with it. Adding tracks to Playlists In the old version I found my song in the library, pressed vo shift m, arrowed down to or typed a to get to ad to playlist sub menu and then scrolled to the list I wanted, pressed enter and bingo, the track was added. Now this doesn't happen. I'm finding the song, going through the steps outlined above but when I've pressed enter on the playlist I want to add the song to I have to do command c, then go to the required playlist before pressing command v to drop the song in to that list. Also if I type in an artist in to the search box, and that artis has 6 albums, moving between the different albums is problematical. If I do get to the right album and find its tracks, pressing enter on the track I've chosen does't play it. Is there a setting I need to change to make things clearer? Hope this makes sense to some of you. Best Graham -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "MacVisionaries" group.

Advice on using Lion DiskMaker to make a bootable Mountain Lion drive
Hi, I'm trying to upgrade from Snow Leopard to Mountain Lion. I first downloaded Lion DiskMaker 1.5, then downloaded the ML installation file from the app store. When I got the prompt to continue the installation of Mountain Lion, I force quit the install and ran Lion DiskMaker having checked that the ML application was in my apps folder. After waiting what seemed an age Lion DiskMaker reported it couldn't find the ML install file. I then pointed it right to the file but it again reported that it couldn't get the name install OS X Mountain Lion. Has anyone any ideas what's going on here? Also can I make a bootable DVD rather than USB drive as currently I have none but quite a few 9gb DVD's? Many thanks for any help or advice offered.

Wifi printers
Hi Kawal, I had a HP photo c309a. It worked on the Mac side and under XP however when I tried using it with Windows7 64bit under Bootcamp I couldn't install the software. Even HP gave it up as a bad job blaming Apple. I now have an Epson px535w all in One which isn't touch screen and it works like a dream both on the Mac and for Windows via Bootcamp.

Searching through digest mail
Hi, Until yesterday when I received messages as a digest, I could quickly flick from topic to topic by typing topic in the search field then hitting vo-g to go to the next occurrence of the word.

Can anyone suggest an equally or even easier way of moving from topic to topic without having to actually type the subject being discussed each time?

Trying to install a HP all in one printer under Bootcamp running Windows7
Hi, If this is off topic, then I apologise up front but thought one of you mega people might be able to help with this. I'm trying to install my HP c309a all in one printer/scanner/fax software under bootcamp in to a Windows7 64 bit installation. When I run the install cd or the setup from the latest download from HP's website I get the following error message. This computer does not have the necessary USB hardware support to enabled to allow completion of a usb installation. The installation cannot continue until this is resolved. In order to install this as a usb device, please refer to your computer documentation, or usb ad in card documentation for more information. If your sure your computer has the physical usb connectors, refer to your computers documentation about how to enable usb in the bios. As far as I understand it under Bootcamp there isn't a bios. I'm running a Macbook pro 2010 model. This ran perfectly under bootcamp running XP pro on my old Macbook. I was hoping when I started the install I'd be asked the type of installation I preferred such as wifi but not a chance. Has anyone got any ideas as to what I could try? Sorry this is rather a long post. Kind regards Graham -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "MacVisionaries" group.

Putting the documents folder back on the Dock
Hi, I'm trying to put my documents folder back on the dock. Under Leopard after help from the group I did this by downloading the put on doc package from Tim Kilburns Website and all was good to go. Now using Snow Leopard I installed the ad item to dock dmg file with no issues then tried running the Automator send to dock script. Automator opened but under the file menu I couldn't find any option to save as plug in or an option to save the file to the finder. I could save to my tc/ext hd or normal hard drive applications etc. Does anyone have any ideas where I could be going wrong here or is it simply under sl you don't need this Put On Dock package and there is another way to ad my documents folder to my dock?
