Sadly, this is not a good way to prepare for transfering your library. If your music still exists on your iPod then the easiest thing is probably to look at this post from Zevoneer which gives details of various methods for pulling data back from the iPod.

Help with importing music from your old computer that is on cd rw's

When you import music from your old computer that is on cd rw's how do get all the song info back?
For example when you plug your ipod in (after you've imported the music) that already has on the songs on it and the titles will it just automatically update it? I have soooo many songs and I'm really not looking forward to having to fill in all the information now myself.Music was exported from my old computer from itunes on to blank cd's. Now I'm in the process of importing the cd's into the itunes library. The songs do not come with titles. They just say track 1, track 2, for example. From my understanding itunes can only pull up the cd info for the actual cd that you buy in the store. I would really appreciate anyone's help.

Can you please help with importing CDs and audio books?

I tried to search for this topic, but had no luck.
Have been happy with IPOD until today. On trying to import a new audio book to iTunes and then updating IPOD to install on it, I can see the title in both the iTunes Library and menu of IPOD. However, instead of seeing a normal 57:32 (or similar stop time), I am seeing 789:57:13.152. When I try to play it through iTunes or IPOD, it skips it as if it wasn't there and plays something else. I checked out importing a music CD, and find the same problem.
Appreciate any advice you can give.

let's first see if you can get the CDs to import normally if you switch off "error correction" in the iTunes Advanced-Importing preferences subtab.
but if no joy there, try checking through the other suggestions from the following document:

... and these resources might be helpful with that:

Problems with importing music into my 60gb ipod

I really need some help.. I just recently got the new 60gb ipod and had no problems imporitn music, i have a windows Xp and installed Itunes in which i registed my ipod, i then went on my sisters IBook and imported music from her. I then sucessfully imported more music from my windows computer. well i am currently visitn her and used her comp for more importing when somethien went wrong. My ipod will only play her music and not mine from my computer. It reads the playlists as if my music was there but when selected, it simply skips it and then when i try to play it on her comp the exclamation point goes up. I dont know what to do.. someone please help me!!!

Melissa, iPods were not made to dock to 2 totally different computers. This was done to prevent illegal file sharing. When you originally docked your iPod to your personal computer, the iPod views that as its "home". In docking to your sister's computer, you would have gotten a message saying something to the effect about " this iPod is linked to another library. do you want to replace iPod's contents with the current music library?" If you said "yes", you have now told iPod that your sister's computer is its "home" & that's why it can no longer access your music. The only way to get your music back is to do a restore of your iPod & allow iTunes to re-sync the library on your computer to your iPod.
Even though you are sisters, if you don't live in the same household what you are attempting to do is considered to be illegal file sharing. PLEASE DON'T STEAL MUSIC!

Help with importing PC photo files and then organizing it all in iPhoto

Hi everyone,
I'm relatively new to mac but I am just loving my purchase! I need some serious help with getting all of my photos organized though so I can easily find it for editing in iMovie.
I've accumulated over 10,000 photos stored on my PC which I've since transferred over to my LaCie external drive for my MacBook Pro via a wireless network connecting my PC & Mac. Some of these I've put onto my laptop internal hard drive and those I've imported into the iPhoto library. However, do I need to move the rest of the photos from my LaCie drive into my internal hard drive to import the photos into iPhoto, or can I tell iPhoto to look for the files in the external drive. If so, how do I do that? I know I'll then have to create albums in order to sort them, which I know how to do. Is there any fast way to do it by date? I had it sorted into different file folders by month & year so I could easily find them on my PC and would like to do the same using albums.
I am quickly running out of hard drive space on my laptop which is why I've put most of my photos on the external drive. Once I organize my existing collection, I would like to be able to import new pictures and have it stored on my external drive, not my internal drive. How do I do that?
Any other tips on organizing a massive photo library would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
Karen

Karen,
Is there any fast way to do it by date? I had it sorted into different file folders by month & year so I could easily find them on my PC and would like to do the same using albums.
This is where you get to enjoy the power of iPhoto's database. You can change the Sort in the View menu. Check out View > Sort Photos > by Date.
Or, click the little calendar icon near the lower left corner of the iPhoto window. This allows you to filter the library by year, month, week, or date. You can Command-click to add another date to your filter. You can Option-click to choose a recurring date: you get that month or date for all years in your library. [Want to see your kid's birthday for every year? Just Option-Click that date. Cool.]
The keywords filter is similar. There is a preference setting where you choose to filter based on ALL keywords chosen (where by choosing more keywords you narrow your field) or ANY keyword (where the more keywords you choose, the larger your field will be). Click on a keyword to filter your library by all photos containing that keyword. Use Command-click to add more keywords to the filter. A difference is that Option-click will eliminate photos with that keyword from your filter. [You can find all pictures of your kids with your dog but NOT at Halloween.]
You can create Smart Albums to combine the use of dates, keywords, ratings, titles, comments and more. The more information you enter into the database, the more powerful the tools become.
When your task of importing is complete and you are ready to play with iPhoto's features it may help to look at the iPhoto multimedia tutorial. Better organized than trying to read through the Help files, it can help you get acquainted with many of iPhoto's features.
Have fun.

Help with importing files

Hello everyone,
FYI
[I'm running RoboHelp 5.0.2 - Flash Help. We have purchased
the Bronze help package and the support doesn't know why we are
having problems. We are using Visual Source Safe on a Windows
server]
I work for a small company that is planning to "roll-out" our
new roboHelp site within a few days. We are having trouble with
importing our .doc, pdf, and xls files. Here's what happens:
I have a topic and I go to create a text.
I highlight the text I want linked
go to "Insert hyperlink"
choose "Link to file"
Browse to my file.
When I click on Okay it ask if I want it brought inot my
project. I click yes.
I then notice that RoboHelp puts it in the baggage files (
well most of the time it does)
I save, check everything in.
When I go to v iew it in Primary layout it saids "file not
found"
Help I'm going crazy. My boss thinks I don't know what I'm
doing. :(
Thanks,
mj

Hi MJ,
Not sure exactly what the issue is with your help project,
but I have links to pdf and doc files in my project and they work.
When I click View Primary Layout, it brings up the output files
that are generated to a different location than where the working
files are. Is that how your project is set up? Because when I open
a file via a link within the output, it calls the file from the
same directory where the output files live (not from a baggage
file). Is this what you are doing as well? This process has been
working for me.
Regards,
Fred

Need HELP with importing high definition tape

I am using Imovie 6HD - and trying to import a high definition tape from a CanonHV20. After importing the first tape I had a screen saying LETTERBOXING which went on for ever. I noticed it made black border tp/botom on the frames. I don't want that. What should I do - I have more tapes to import.
What settings do I need? As mentioned I used High Definition Tapes so I would like to have a high definition movie/dvd. Also after burning the dvd I suppose I can play that on any tv?? Please help with detail explanation!!
Thanks.

no such thing.. DVDs are allways 'Standard'-only.
• drag iM project file into iDVD = automatic conversion from HD>>SD ..

I have problems with importing music to iTunes, can somebody please help me?

I have all my music organized on an external hard disc in folders for each artist and album, but I can only import some of the folders. It’s like iTunes isn’t registering specific folders, and just skip these folders while the rest of the folders is added as normal. I have tried to add the missing folders manually but it doesn’t help. I simply can’t add some music to iTunes, what am I doing wrong? Thanks!

It's the file attributes. The files will add but when you try to add a folder it doesn't work. You can get a bulk attribute changer progeam like BulkFileChanger and get rid of the Hidden and archive attributes, This fixed my problem.

Help with importing library and how to authorize music to play

Recently I had to reformat my hard drive. As a result I am trying to transfer my itunes library back to the computer from the backup device. There doesn't seem to be a simple way to do this. I found an article online that suggested I could import the full library in one shot by putting it on the desktop and selecting it. This didn't work. So,
1. what is the fastest and most efficient way to tranfer back my songs
2. I find that some of the songs I have transferred already are "protected." So, I am getting a prompt to authorize the computer so the music will play. I have already authorized this computer again so when I do go through the motions w/the pop up box it tells me I have already done this. However, it will still not play the songs. So, how do I make it stop that mess and play my songs? I really don't think I should have to repurchase them.
Thanks

Help me with importing music!!!!!

I took all my music from my c: drive and moved it to my g: drive in order to save space on my hard drive (obviously).
I may have copied all the songs and transferred them over, and created duplicates accidentally, but I killed those.
Now that all my music is in the g: drive and there is no music in my iTunes, how do I get it all in there without duplicating things (like when I drag and drop) or having to go click every song to add it????????

Start with this Article for some understanding of how to move your Library. Then post back with more specifics as to what you actually did.
This well-written iLounge Article is a must-read for anyone considering moving their Library to a new computer or a new location. Or, just wants a better understanding of how iTunes manages your music.
Best of Luck

Help with importing videos

Hey all, just got a brand new iPod 30 GB video.
first off, I made sure it was updated with my Vista system, so there wouldn't be any problems. Works perfect, but when I imported a .mpg-4 video, it wouldn't immediately import. no biggie, right? I just used that "right click- convert to iPod" selection. then, I placed the small 5 minute music video into my iPod.
Here's where my issues start. Why is it incredibly laggy? you can hear the audio perfectly, but the video just doesn't seem to catch up. Any tips???

It may need to be converted using a 3rd party converter.
See this for help: Guide to converting video for iPod (Mac/Windows).

Help with Imports

Ok my problem is hard to explain but I'll do my best.
My iTunes is brand new. Yesterday I downloaded and installed it. As soon as I opened the program it started moving my music from Windows Media Player onto iTunes. This was all well and good but then it started to convert the WME (or WMA, whatever they're called. You get it). Not knowing why it said converting I exited the program. I come to find out that the vast majority of my songs on Media Player needed to be converted to make it to iTunes. Now when I open iTunes I only have a small fraction of my total songs. How do I make iTunes finish importing and converting ALL the songs from Media Player (so far I can do one at a time and I have over 1000 songs).
Anyone that can help PLLLLLEEEEEEEAAAAASSSSSSEEEEEEE do so. I may just love you forever.

Not knowing why it said converting I exited the program.... How do I make iTunes finish importing and converting ALL the songs from Media Player
For one thing, maybe exiting while it was doing exactly what you wanted was not the greatest idea! But, nothing lost. Do the following: Close WMP; it has no role in what you are doing. Make sure you know what folders your WMA files are in. Use the iTunes command File > Add Folder to Library, and point it at your song folders. As iTunes processes each WMA file, it converts it to your preferred import format (see more on this below), adds the converted version to your library, and leaves the WMA files where it was.
Regarding file format, if you plan to be moving around among Apple and non-Apple products, as you have been, you will find that mp3 is much more portable than AAC. So before doing anything else, go to Edit > Preferences > Advanced > Importing, make sure you have set to mp3 encoding at your preferred bit rate. (For bit rate, if you don't know what I am talking about, use 192.)
There is one other catch. Music imported with WMP may have been created as protected WMA files, rather than unprotected files. If that is the case with any of your files, iTunes cannot convert them, and other measures must be taken.
Hope this helps.

Help with iPhone Music Issues

Ok so here we go. I have over 2,500 songs uploaded to my iPhone. They were all uploaded by my old PC and I recently just got a MacBook Pro. I do not know what happened but every time I go to play my music using headphones or in the aux input in my car the music will not play. I click on an album for it to start up and the phone just kicks me back to the menu without playing anything. Now when I hook the phone up to my new MacBook the songs play off of the computer with no issue, so the data must still be on my phone correct? How can I get these tunes to play again without having to be connected to the computer?
Also, I have some new music uploaded to my new MacBook and I want the songs to uploaded to the iPhone but when I drag tracks over it will not put the songs on the phone. I went into the menu and said sync manually which is what I prefer to do and it tells me that it will erase all of my music and I don't want that!
So why won't all of the songs that I have on there now play without it being hooked up to the computer and why can't I get my new tunes uploaded to the phone? I hope all of those songs are not lost because ripping all of my cds and uploading them back to the phone would not be a fun task! If anyone can help me with these two matters I would appreciate it so very much! Thank you!
-Zach

Your iTunes library on your old PC should have been transferred to your Mac along with all other important data such as documents, photos, etc.
iTunes content can be transferred to an iPhone from an iTunes library on a single computer only. When transferring iTunes content from another computer, all iTunes content transferred from a different computer will be erased from the iPhone first. This will not occur when transferring your iTunes library from your old computer to your new computer per the instructions included with this link.
