How Do I Back Up Movies And Music I Download?

I usually will download Movies and Music onto my Mac and then sync it up with my iPad and iPod. How do I make sure all my Movies and Music are backed-up from my Mac? Does Time Machine back this stuff up? Thanks!

Yes, Time Machine will back this up to an external drive. You can also copy your iTunes folder to an external drive to back it up.

I'm new to Mac. I have an iPhone and a Mac Mini. My original iTunes was on a Windows computer that crashed. So, all of my iTunes Music and Movies are gone. How do I get the movies and music from my iPhone to the new Mac Mini?

If you still have the crashed Win computer, you may be able to recover your music and movies from the hard drive. If you have a friend with a hard drive USB connection kit and a PC, they should be able to help. Otherwise, check locally for computer services that might do that for you (I think Best Buy Geek Squad may be able to help). If the drive itself is in good shape, it shouldn't be too expensive.

How do I combine iTunes movies and music on external drive and play both from same library?

Trying to make an old MacBook with current iTunes a server for Apple TV. Have burned DVDs to external drive and have added my music to drive. iTunes made a library on the external drive. When I open iTunes to choose a library, I can either get all of the movies or get all of the music, but I cannot choose something that is both. I have even dragged the movies into the same file as the music, hopping that would help, but alas, I can still just have one or the other.
Any help would be so appreciated.
Thank you.

Choose one library and drag the files from the other to the library in the open iTunes application window.

How do i back up movies and tv shows

i have tryed to use a cd and do it as data but didnt fit. i tryed to use a dvd like HP lightscribe and that did work it said it wasnt blank. i looked it up and it said buy one from apple products but it didnt have any. does any one know where to buy a cd that can only be read on a computer and not on a dvd player???

You're talking about the shows you've purchased from iTunes, correct? Yes, these will mostly be bigger than will fit on a CD (720mb at the most, and most shows will run 1gb or larger) but if you have the ability to write to a DVD that's the best bet anyway.
If you do have a DVD writer in your machine you can buy blanks nearly anywhere -- these blanks can be used for data or for playing in a DVD player. There is no difference between the two. Cheapest place in the US is most likely CostCo or some such. Office Depot/Office Max, Radio Shack, Best Buy, Circuit City, they will all carry DVD blanks. You will want either DVD-R or DVD+R but I'd recommend DVD-R as that's a slightly more reliable data format. Buy the cheapest you can find, as nowadays quality control is very high on all major brands.
And backup is a very good idea -- you're doing the absolute right thing here!

How do i store my movies and music onto the time-capsule

i can connect to my other computers threw any computer in my house but i can't connect to the time capsule its self, or store stuff on it. help please.

You need SMB compatible names.. for both TC and if you use wireless then wireless.. short, no spaces, pure alphanumeric.
Go to the disk file sharing page.. turn on guest account.. read and write access.
Give it the right workgroup .. usually WORKGROUP
Load bonjour for windows onto the windows machine.. that should be included with the airport utility for windows.

Movie "Margin Call" will not download error 8008 or -50. all other movies and music will download without a problem.

any ideas? i've tried shutting down the AV and Apple firewall with no luck.

The mystery remains....
Thanks for the pointers. The file type is .mts (a proprietry sony one).
I have now found some video converter software (Wondershare and iSkysoft) at a cost. Either will convert this file for me into .mp4. This I can then import into iMovie without any problems. I've checked this on the trial versions and it worked well but without paying am left with a giant watermark in the video
The mystery (which I still havent solved) is why did 20 other .mts files import fine and then this one not?
If you could point me in the direction of some free .mts converter software that would be the cherry on the cake.
Thanks

You can use iTunes to sync them to your iPad.

How do you move movies and music to ipad mini ios 7 from linux computer?

I hope that someone can please help. I have two children, ages six and 10. They previously used nabis but I've bought them both ipad minis. They would like to put their movies and music on them. They would like to be able to watch movies when we take a long car ride, etc. They have wifi versions and no 4g so they would be away from an internet connection. They have movies ripped from dvds they own, and music from ripped disney cds. They do not have a working portable dvd player anymore as it has been a long time since they needed one. They have a "boom box" style cd player but not handy for a car. The thing is, they both want to do different things in the back seat.
I only have linux (kubuntu 13.10) on our laptops and desktops.
I know that there are only a few file formats that the ipad can read for music and movies, but converting those isn't a problem.
I tried buying a "dongle" for a micro sd card, but that didn't work. At least I couldn't figure out how to make it work. The ipad would never recognize it.
Everything on the web said to just use the music software on the linux pc, such as Banshee, etc. But when I plug in the ipad mini to the computer I get a loop of "trust this computer?" that just keeps happening. I see that is a common thing now.
I tried installing itunes in a virtual drive on my laptop, but I could never get it to work. I progressed back through several versions of itunes and tried using PlayOn linux but it never worked.
I have never used itunes so I don't really know how it works. Is there anyway to upload to it through a web browser or something like that?
I tried an ap for the ipad called "file master." WIth that, I could send mp3 and movie files to the ipad through a web browswer based connection on wifi. The ipad could open the music and movie inside that ap, but could not see it through the music or video player aps, those said that itunes was empty. The problem with this is that it crashes. It will play a few seconds of a song and crash to the home screen. Some songs it plays OK, others it crashes as soon as you click. This isn't going to work well for kids in the back seat.
In the "file master" ap I can see folders for things like "music" and "downloads," and I can move files around in those directories, but the built in music and video aps never see the files.
I tried drop box. That works OK. Again, music will play inside the drop box ap, but the ipad doesn't "see" the music in the music ap. The problem here is that I only have about 3 gigs worth of drop box space, and I bought my son as 64 gig ipad mini. I'd like to be able for him to use that space. So this is limited by the space of the drop box account. So not a great solution. But at least a partial solution.
I can't find an ipad ap for ubuntu one.
I tried icloud, but there doesn't seem to be anyway to upload files to it from the pc.
There is something called "icloud match" that is $25. I get the impression that this looks at the songs you have ripped from your own cds and matches those to the itunes store and lets you download from there. Would this work? I'm kind of grumpy about the idea of paying $25 to see if it will let me move my own files to my own tablet.
I've tried several other aps from the ap store that were music players, but they all seem to be looking for itunes. I could not get any to find an mp3 file that I moved to the ipad through the "file master" ap.
So, I can't get itunes to work, and I can't get the ipad to connect to a computer.
Surely there has to be some way to do something as simple as move a file to a tablet. I'm afraid there must be some simple answer that I'm just overlooking so I've come to beg for help.
Thank you.

Just in case anyone in a similar situation finds this by google or something in the future.
I found a work around.
I think that my troubles with the file master ap were probably from mp3's that got corrupted in the transfer.
I went back and tried it again and it has been working flawlessly to transfer music and movies.
It is a free ap from the ap store.
When you open it, it gives a url for the ipad that you open in a web browser and just upload the files you want moved.
You just watch the video or listen to the music from the file master ap itself. It doesn't integrate it into the stock aps.
The up-side is that you don't have to worry about the limitations on video files, it plays multiple video formats.
The downside is that it is transferring the files through wifi so it is as slow as Christmas.
But it isn't a problem really just to send a batch of files over. Just be patient.
So a usb connection would be much faster and preferable, but this works.

How to redownload purchased Movies and music

my old computer was stolen and the itunes library that was purchased was placed on it. How do i redownload the purchased movies and music to a new computer?

Thank you for your imput it is helpful.
Unfortunatly i did not properly back up. I am learning the value of personal back ups. I now own a time capsule and am backing up properly. I still want to take further steps. After all of these years i am seeing some more advantage to saving some files on an internet site server as well.
as i learn more about the apple world and things like 'me.com' maybe i can be much better prepared in the future.
Any tips you may have for me in this area would be appreciated.

My movies and music videos won't show up on screen, I can hear the sound but not see the video how do I fix this?

My movies and music videos won't show up on my computer screen, I can hear the sound but not see the video how do I fix this? I'm not sure what to do as far as turning my purchased movie into DVD goes either. I just want to put the movie onto a DVD disc but my itunes won't even show that I have a blank disc in the drive, I'm not sure what is wrong or how to fix this, any help at all would be much appreciated.

Hi @anthony7722 ,
Thank you for your query, I will do my best to help!
I grasp that you uninstalled the Intel graphic driver and the catalyst control. You reinstalled the Intel driver and now you can view and hear videos on the Internet but you are unable to set the resolution as high as previously.
When I checked the specifications for your notebook I see that you have switchable graphics.
Here are two links that I believe will help.
Overview of Switchable Graphics or Dual GPUs
Switchable Graphics on Notebooks Configured with Intel and ATI GPUs
Here is a link to HP Pavilion dv7-6150eb Entertainment Notebook PC Drivers
Please try this process.
1. Download the chipset driver, and both graphic drivers and save them but do not install them yet
2, Delete the chipset driver and install the updated one.
3. restart your notebook
4.Delete the Intel driver and install the updated one
5. restart your notebook
6. Delete the AMD driver and install the updated driver.
You should now have a Catalyst Control Center.
This should now allow you to use the higher graphic card which should support the higher resolution.
I hope this helped.

Empty/corrupt library after upgrade/crash
Hopefully it's not been too long since you last upgraded iTunes, in fact if you get an empty/incomplete library immediately after upgrading then with the following steps you shouldn't lose a thing or need to do any further housekeeping. Note that in iTunes 11 an "empty" library may show your past purchases with links to stream or download them.
In the Previous iTunes Libraries folder should be a number of dated iTunes Library files. Take the most recent of these and copy it into the iTunes folder. Rename iTunes Library.itl as iTunes Library (Corrupt).itl and then rename the restored file as iTunes Library.itl. Start iTunes. Should all be good, bar any recent additions to or deletions from your library.
Alternatively, depending on exactly when and why the library went missing, there may be a more recent .tmp file in the main iTunes folder that can be renamed as iTunes Library.itl to restore the library to a recent state.
See iTunes Folder Watch for a tool to catch up with any changes since the backup file was created.
When you get it all working make a backup!
Should you be in the unfortunate position where you are no longer able to access your original library, or a backup of it, then see Recover your iTunes library from your iPod or iOS device.

I have purchased itunes tv series, movies and music and have transferred them onto an external hard drive and tried to play them on my tv on a media hub. The file will not load. Is there some form of blocking by itunes or another p[roblem and how do I fix it?

You can't fix it. iTunes bought content is DRM protected. so it can only be played on authorized devices. i.e devices associated with the apple Id used to purchase the content. Its copyright protection that the rights owners demand.
Circumventing it, is illegal in most countries, and as such cannot be discussed here. If you want to play the content you'll need to connect your computer directly to your TV, or use some other device you can authorize for iTunes content such as an iPad, iPhone , iPod touch or Apple Tv.
