How do I transfer music from itunes on my mac to a flash drive?
How do I transfer music from itunes on my mac to a flash drive?
hi,
it depends from the OS which is installed on your computer. At first you must access your Music folder which contains the iTunes folder:
Windows 7:
\username\My Music\iTunes.
Windows XP:
\Documents and Settings\username\My Documents\My Music\iTunes
Mac OS X:
~/Music/iTunes/
In this iTunes folders you can find a "iTunes Media" folder which contains your Music. This Music you can than copy on a flash drive

How to transfer photos from a MAC to a USB external storage drive?
How to transfer photos from a MAC to a USB external storage drive?
Just the Photos? Or the Library?
If it's the Library:
Make sure the drive is formatted Mac OS Extended (Journaled)
1. Quit iPhoto
2. Copy the iPhoto Library from your Pictures Folder to the External Disk.
3. Hold down the option (or alt) key while launching iPhoto. From the resulting menu select 'Choose Library' and navigate to the new location. From that point on this will be the default location of your library.
4. Test the library and when you're sure all is well, trash the one on your internal HD to free up space.

How do I transfer photos from my mac mini to my external hard drive without iPhoto?
I am trying to get my already downloaded onto my mac photos onto my external hard drive but my computer will not alow me to.
Any Help?I've been trying to do the same myself, want to move pictures from my new iMac to my new Macbook Air, made the switch big time! I thought that a Mac was famous for ease of use. Plug in passport usb portable, find it in the finder, open another finder winder, try to drag photo library over..... nope. Open the Iphoto program, edit, select all, drag to passport...... nope. Extremely frustrating. On a PC it would be done in minutes or less. Either my head is in the wrong place or I'm missing something. GGRRRRRRR Any help would be appreciated before they both go back in their boxes and I pull the PC back out of the closet. LOL

How do I transfer songs from an itunes program saved on a thumb drive to itunes on a new computer
I am scrapping my old desktop computer for a new laptop. I copied the entire itunes file on to a thumb drive before getting rid of the old computer. There are almost 200 songs contained in itunes file that I copied. I want to transfer the songs in itunes file on the tumb driver to itunes on my new laptop - how can that be done? I know it's probably very simple but I am ignorant and stuck. Please help.
If the actual iTunes folder from the <user>/Music folder was copied to the flash drive, simply copy that to the new computer.
If the folder copied was the Program Files\iTunes folder, there is no media there. -

How can I transfer information from one ipad to another?
how can I transfer information from one ipad to another ?
What kind of information? You can sync things like Contacts and Calendars by using iCloud. You can backup one iPad to iTunes on a computer and then sync the backup to the other iPad. You can configure your iTunes content and sync the same content to both iPads.
It is based on what you want to do. Or are you looking for a way to send files from one iPad to another wirelessly? There are apps to do things like that, as well as cloud services, such as DropBox. -

How do I transfer music from different iTunes accounts on different computers?
How do I transfer music from different iTunes accounts on different computers?
Move the song files to the desired computer and then either drag them into the library in the open iTunes application window or the Automatically Add to iTunes folder. If this would cause the single library to have content from more than five Apple IDs, you may not be able to sync it to an iPod or iOS device.

How can I transfer music from my iPhone to my iPad.?
I no longer have a PC. Mine died and cannot be restored. It had iTunes with my entire music library on it.If you are running an OS of 5.0 or higher, you should be able to use the iCloud to sync both devices together & share music.

How do i transfer contacts from yahoo to my mail?
how do i transfer contacts from yahoo mail to my mail on my ipad2?
I found this answer in another discussion and it worked-
Yes, it's weird and cryptic. This is what you need to do.
in settings, click mail, contacts , calendars
you need to add two accounts:
one for mail as a Yahoo account
another per the instructions below
Yahoo syncs contacts by adding a CardDAV account:
Tap Mail, Contacts, Calendars
Tap Add Account
Tap Other and then tap Add CardDAV Account
For the Server you need to enter carddav.address.yahoo.com
Now type in the Yahoo! ID (full email address) and password you use to sign in to your Yahoo! Contacts
why not all in one? who knows!
Ps. You might have to do several tries with and without the .xxx extesion to the account name
Yahoo has multiples with att and all othr isp's -
HOW DO I TRANSFER VIDEO FROM MY PV-L559 CAMCORDER TO MY IBOOK G4 LAPTOP
HOW DO I TRANSFER VIDEO FROM MY OLDER PANASONIC PV-L559 CAMCORDER TO MY APPLE IBOOK G4 LAPTOP?
I'm not familiar with that camcorder. What kind of output port(s) does it have?

I'll ask around and see if somebody knows more about it than I do. -
