Check for Protected Files
Now we need to make sure we don't have any protected files in the
add_to_library folder. we will do this using the find file technique I
outlined in the "copy your friends iTunes Library" page. Protected files are ones that your
friend has actually spent money for on iTunes. These protected files will
not play unless you authenticate your computer with their email address
and password. It's too complex to want to do so let's get rid of them NOW.
Press the "apple" key (to the left of the space bar) and then the "F" key.
It will bring up FindFile and it will look like this:
Let's modify the search parameters so we can find protected files on your
ipod. Pull down the "Search in" and change it from everywhere to "Specific
Places". This will bring a checkboxed locator that looks like this.
Check the box to the left of your ipod and make sure no others are checked.
Go to the "search for" pull down "Names" and change it to "Extension". In
the blank box to the right of "is" type in "m4p" (for mpg4 protected). It
wil look like this.
now click the "Search" button.
It will bring back a result set. In this case I had one protected file and
it found it. Notice the path to the file at the bottom of the search
result window.
Select those files in the list with a click and drag them to the desktop
trash can. From
the Finder menu pull down to "Empty Trash". It will delete the file from
your iPod. Even though you will still see it listed in the result screen,
there is no path to the file in the lower window showing its been deleted.
Close the search result window and close the Find File window. Also
shrink, using the yellow dot
the iPod contents window with the 'add_to_library' folder into the dock. we know its
there now.
Good we are now ready to add all of their music and video files to your
iTunes Library.
