I am not able to transfer/backup the cd's I puchased in a physical store and uploaded to iTunes transfered to my new mac

I uploaded many cd's to my MacBook Pro years ago and since donated to the local thrift shop. I have a fairly new Mac Air now and am giving the 'pro' to my son. I have tried backing up the music in my iTunes library to an external drive and all that seems to have moved over are the purchased songs. Even a trip to our local mac shop did not help as it resulted in the same library transferred. How do I move this music? It shows correctly in  iTunes on the pro but does not seem to want to move off. Am I able to add it to my library on the Mac Air? Is it stored in another location than purchased songs on my old 'pro'?  Thanks for your help, lots of great music there I do not want to lose!!

Might need a third party utility.

  • I have a fifth gen Ipod and have changed computers. I was not able to transfer all the music over when I created an itunes account on the new computer. How can I save all the songs on my ipod and upload new ones? It wants to sync with my new account.

    I have a fifth gen ipod classic. I switched computers and was not able to transfer the songs and pictures over. When I connect my ipod to the computer it wants to sync with it which would delete all my songs and music. Is there a way around this?

  • Enterprise Manager is not able to connect to the database instance. Open??

    Hello there,
    After I installed oracle database and tried to start Enterprise Manager, I got the message:
    Enterprise Manager is not able to connect to the database instance.
    All statuses are OK (green and up) except database instance. It is also green and up but open. (Details: The instance is open.)
    Can anyone help me about it?
    I use Windows XP x64 with all patches installed. Oracle database R11g x64.
    I tried with different database versions and different machines and different OS and loopback adapter and... my EM still want to log in.
    I can log in with sqlplus. It accepts any pass for sys (as sysdba). Why?
    My log files are available here: http://195.66.185.187/log.zip

    You are using a bequeath connection when logging in with SQL*Plus on the server so the password is not validated.
    Log in using SQL*Plus this way:
    sqlplus /nolog
    followed by
    conn sys@<service_name> AS SYSDBA
    and provide the correct password
    My guess it it will fail.
    If so then you need to use the correct password and if you don't know what it is set it when logged on as SYS.

  • I am not able to transfer anything from my Nokia to my iphone by bluetooth although it says connected when I transfer it comes up on the Nokia unable to connect. any suggestions?

    I am not able to transfer anything from my Nokia phone to my iphone via bluetooth although it say's connected on the iphone when I try to send it say's UNABLE TO CONNECT on the Nokia, I have restarted the phone but still no luck. any suggestions?

    Two different operating systems.
    It has nothing to do with the phones running different operating systems. Bluetooth is a platform independent standard. It's all due to the different Bluetooth profiles each device incorporates. iPhones do not have the file transfer profile.

    I recently bought iPad 3 but iTunes on my Win XP laptop is not detecting the iPad and i am not able to transfer music to it. I tried again after downloading iTunes 10.6.1.7 and it said it's not compatible with the XP version.

    I would recommend you try downloading iTunes for Windows 10.6.1 from this website for your XP based computer:

    I would like to transfer photos to my sd card to bring them to Costco for printing, but I am not Able to transfer the pics to the card. Any help?

    Easiest way is to transfer the photos to your computer. Then copy them to your ad card. You should be backing up all your photos on your computer anyway. Having them only on your iPad is asking for trouble should something happen to your iPad.

  • I have  mac book pro. Since i updated to OS 10.8, I have experienced the following: many of the programs don't respond. Not able to transfer file (eg pdf file og movie (VLC)). Many of the processes seem to be less effective or won't respond.

    I have a mac book pro. Since i updated to OS 10.8, I have experienced the following:
    many of the programs don't respond.
    Not able to transfer file (eg pdf file og movie (VLC).
    The tech tool diagnostic software (as part of apple care protection plan) stops in the middle of scanning.

    First, know that if you have any old PPC-only applications they will no longer work. You should uninstall them completely. Secondly, applications that don't work may require upgrades for compatibility with Mountain Lion. Thirdly, you may have a dysfunctional upgrade for which you should try this:
    Reinstalling Lion/Mountain Lion Without Erasing the Drive
    Boot to the Recovery HD: Restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the COMMAND and R keys until the menu screen appears. Alternatively, restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the OPTION key until the boot manager screen appears. Select the Recovery HD and click on the downward pointing arrow button.
    Repair the Hard Drive and Permissions: Upon startup select Disk Utility from the main menu. Repair the Hard Drive and Permissions as follows.
    When the recovery menu appears select Disk Utility. After DU loads select your hard drive entry (mfgr.'s ID and drive size) from the the left side list.  In the DU status area you will see an entry for the S.M.A.R.T. status of the hard drive.  If it does not say "Verified" then the hard drive is failing or failed. (SMART status is not reported on external Firewire or USB drives.) If the drive is "Verified" then select your OS X volume from the list on the left (sub-entry below the drive entry,) click on the First Aid tab, then click on the Repair Disk button. If DU reports any errors that have been fixed, then re-run Repair Disk until no errors are reported. If no errors are reported click on the Repair Permissions button. Wait until the operation completes, then quit DU and return to the main menu.
    Reinstall Lion/Mountain Lion: Select Reinstall Lion/Mountain Lion and click on the Continue button.
    Note: You will need an active Internet connection. I suggest using Ethernet if possible because it is three times faster than wireless.

  • Not able to transfer Integration Process in ID. Also not seen in SXI_Cache

    Hi Experts,
    I am trying a BPM scenario. I have created all design objects along with Integration Process in IR and saved and activated the same. Issue is : I am not able to transfer the Integration Scenario from IR in ID. I am also not able to see the created integration process in SXI_Cache under Integration Processes node. Can you please suggest some thing related to this issue. Thank you.

    hi,
    >>>I have created all design objects along with Integration Process in IR and saved and activated the same. Issue is : I am not able to transfer the Integration Scenario from IR in ID.
    but in order to use Integration Scenario in ID you need
    to create it in IR first and Integration Process is not the same as
    integration scenario
    you can only transfer Integration Process to ID as an Integration Process
    (under services without party node)

  • Not able to transfer changes in material master (periodic)

    Hi Friends,
    Got an issue here. I am not able to transfer the changes I made in material master. I want this as periodic, Made the specific setting in CFC9. And for your information 'Activate ALE Change Pointers Generally' and for massege type are activated.
    But when I execute CFP1 I got massege: 'No appropriate master data changes: Transfer has not happen'.
    I made changes in material master (global level),..like gross weight changed. Material is in active IM, no duplication.
    Any help Please? We are on SCM 7.0.
    Thanks,
    Satyajit

    OK, Guys I think I need to raise an OOS... It was for SCM 7.0, but was basic config....thts why I edited the thread so many times expecting some responce.
    Edited by: Satyajit Patra on Mar 22, 2010 7:41 AM

    Hi Satyajit,
    Please look at OSS  Note 1069560 - Data inconsistencies: Activating integration. models in parallel, if this helps you.
    Since  Gross data of material is in the basic view, it is common across plants , whereas, IMs are normally designed to have material masters at plant level.
    We may have same material in different IMs with different  plants. Therefore changes of the basic view fields are then contained in multiple IMs.  SAP advises to have a larger IM or sequential activation of IMs.
    I hope this will  help you .
    Regards
