I recently purchased a MacBook Pro, I did not transfer files from my old pc with migration assistant when I set up the MacBook. A few days later I did the transfer, now my Itunes library and everything else from my old pc is under a different user account

I've already setup the original user account and do not want to do it again, how do I merge the two user accounts into one so all of my stuff is under one user account?

They are the same Itunes account (mine), but since I transferred the 'user account' with my Itunes library and other files from old pc to my new MacBook, I now have two 'user accounts' on my MacBook. The original I setup when I got the MacBook and the one I transferred from my pc. I've already went thru most of my photos in Iphoto and named all the faces along with general setup of how I want all my settings on my MacBook under the first user account, I don't want to start over and do it all again with the transferred user account, I just want to move my Itunes library I transferred over to my original user account on my MacBook. Does this make any sense? lol

  • My purchased music on my iphone will not transfer to my itunes library. I have tried 'transfer purchases' but it hasnt worked. Please help!

    Please help me. I recently got a new laptop fro Christmas and i have begun to sync all my music and apps etc onto my new laptop. However, music that i have previously purchased on my iphone will not sync to my current laptop. I have tried 'transfer purchases' but only some have transfered, i still have over 200 songs to import and they won't transfer from my iphone to my laptop. Please help, it is very irritating. Thanks.

    Unless the iPhone was purchased  as unlocked very recently directly from an Apple Store (the only place in the US where unlocked iPhones are sold, and then only since June), which from the symptoms I doubt is the case, then it was locked to AT&T and jailbroken to make it work with an Irish cell carrier. Updating the operating system has now relocked the iPhone back to AT&T.
    Only the cell carrier can institute an official unlock, one which will hold across updates of the operating system, and AT&T will not do so for any reason. All we can advise here is that you return the iPhone to your uncle and purchase an iPhone there in Ireland.
    Regards.

  • HT1364 I am trying to change the location of my itunes library and the library doesn't copy to the new location.

    I am trying to change the location of my itunes library and the library doesn't copy to the new location.  I followed the steps in the help message (HT1364) exactly but I am not prompted to consolidate in the new location.  Any suggestions?

    Hi ed2345 and diesel vdub,  when I consolidate, the files start copying to the new location and part way through I get a message that the copying failed (-50) even though all of the files are already in place in the new location.  Should I just delete the itunes in the new location and manually copy the files again?  But in itunes, I have indicated that the new location is on the external hard drive but itunes seems to ignore that and still looks for itunes in the original location on my internal hard drive.  I disabled the location of itunes in the old location (by labelling itunes as "itunes old") and it tried to create a new itunes at the old location and prompted me to import music and videos from a CD or other source.  I hope I am making sense.

  • My battery reads that it is 100% charged. However, as soon as I unplug it, it dies instantly. The battery lights are still functional, and everything else is working fine! What's wrong with my battery?

    Sounds like it may need to be replaced. Contact Apple.

  • TS1424 when i try to get on my itunes account i get the error message "New itunes library" and i am unable to open my account.

    I have had an itunes account for over a year and have always used the same computer.  Recently I have been unable to open my itunes account.  Every time i try to open it, the error message "New itunes Library" comes up and I can do nothing further.  Does anyone have any ideas what I can do to resolve this issue.

    Hello,
    Try disabling graphics hardware acceleration. Since this feature was added to Firefox, it has gradually improved, but there still are a few glitches.
    You might need to restart Firefox in order for this to take effect, so save all work first (e.g., mail you are composing, online documents you're editing, etc.).
    Then perform these steps:
    *Click the orange Firefox button at the top left, then select the "Options" button, or, if there is no Firefox button at the top, go to Tools > Options.
    *In the Firefox options window click the ''Advanced'' tab, then select "General".
    *In the settings list, you should find the ''Use hardware acceleration when available'' checkbox. Uncheck this checkbox.
    *Now, restart Firefox and see if the problems persist.
    Additionally, please check for updates for your graphics driver by following the steps mentioned in the following Knowledge base articles:
    * [[Troubleshoot extensions, themes and hardware acceleration issues to solve common Firefox problems]]
    * [[Upgrade your graphics drivers to use hardware acceleration and WebGL]]
    Did this fix your problems? Please report back to us!
    Thank you.

  • The ipad is displaying a message saying "cannot connect to itunes store" and everything else is in the background, help plzz????

    everything is in the backgroung i can't tap on anything, i even tried to put it on sleep mode or shut it down it doesn't work because it's in the background and i can't slide.plz help!!!

    Apparently there has been an issue with the App Store for the past few days, so you are not the only one that has reported this problem. I was having the same issue yesterday, but I can use the search feature fine today
    Try this for now. Sign out of your account, restart the iPad and then sign in again.
    Settings>iTunes & App Store>Apple ID. Tap your ID and sign out. Restart the iPad by holding down on the sleep button until the red slider appears and then slide to shut off. To power up hold the sleep button until the Apple logo appears and let go of the button.
    Go back to Settings>iTunes & App Store>Sign in and then try to search again.
    Or try this....
    Reboot the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider - let go of the buttons.

  • My toshiba laptop which had all my iTunes music and everything else on it was stolen. How can I get it back or am I out of luck?

    My toshiba laptop that had all my itunes music along with everything else was stolen. Is there a way to get it back or is it gone forever?

    You can re-download all purchased iTunes content, except ringtones, for free:

    That is, if still available in the iTunes store.

  • Ipad Remote app works for only half the songs in my iTunes library, and sound still comes out of my Mac instead of my iPad.

    Can anyone offer suggestions? I realize there are two separate issues here.
    1. I thought I successfully connected my iPad with the iTunes library on my Mac/ Hard Drive via the Remote app. However, more than half the songs in my music library will not play on the Ipad; when I click on any one of them using the iPad's Remote app & iTunes, I get a message box that says: "An unknown error occurred. Please check your library and try again." These songs all play fine through my Mac's Itunes program.
    2. I had thought I could use the Remote app to get my library "into"  my receiver, connecting the iPad to the receiver with an RCA-to-headphone adapter. This adapter works great to play music that "lives" on an iPod or iPad.  But it does not seem to be able to access music that the ipad is controlling only remotely. If this is true I will be pretty unhappy...

    Thank you. My two questions have now shifted.
    1. You are right-- I have been unsure as to whether Homesharing or Remote was my answer, and I did set up Homesharing on both my Mac and iPad. It still appears that my music comes out of the Mac, only. How can i use  Homesharing to allow the iPad to play music? 
    2. And I went back to check again, and saw that somehow, the songs that my iPad cannot locate are also somehow missing now on the Mac, even though they used to be accessible. My entire music library is stored on an external hard drive, which I used to connect to my Mac with USB. I just got a new router and now have the music hard drive connected via USB to IT instead of the Mac. I would bet that this is why so much of my library is no longer accessible-- I must have used different settings to save some of my songs, and the hard drive's new location shows that. Can anyone help me make my entire music library playable ? Thanks again

  • HT1535 When I plug my ipad into the computer to sync a message pops up saying it can not sync because there is not enough memory in the itunes library. Do I need to increase the memory in my itunes library and how?

    When I plug my ipad into the computer to sync a message pops up saying that the ipad can not sync because there is not enough memory on the itunes library. Do I need to increase the itunes library memory and how do I do this, or do I just need to trasnfer things out of itunes? Thanks.

    Try

    I would start with              
    Removing and Reinstalling iTunes, QuickTime, and other software components for Windows XP
    or              
    Removing and reinstalling iTunes and other software components for Windows Vista, Windows 7, or Windows 8
    Before you reinstall the Apple software, also remove iCloud vi Control Panel Remove programs. The reinstall the Apple programs

  • If I sync apps with migration assistant, will it over-write the newer iLife apps on my new MacBook Pro?

    I purchased a new MacBook Pro (Mountain Lion) and connected it to my existing iMac (Lion) to transfer over my user account, music and applications.  It did not occur to me that the process might over-write the iLife apps already factory installed on the MBP.  I am having trouble checking if that happened, but getting info on both iPhoto and iMovie shows that they are 32-bit applications (Calendar, Contacts and iMessage just show as "applications" without saying if they are 32- or 64-bit).
    What version numbers should all those iLife apps be? If I have over-written them, what would I have to do to restore the factory installed versions at this point since the MBP does not come with install disks anymore?

    MacJack: I did the migration when started up the computer for the first time.
    As for suggestion from Mende1, it sounds like a great idea, but if I did over-write what was already there, will the App Store charge me for the apps if I did not buy them through the App Store (since they came pre-installed on the MBP)?  If so, I would prefer to take the MBP to an Apple store with the receipt and offer an explanation.
    Would knowing the version numbers of the software I now have installed be enough information to know if they were the versions that came pre-installed on the MBP under Mountain Lion?

  • When online in Safari the screen is gray/black transparent. Everything else is OK.  Email is fine.

    When I try to get online in Safari the screen opens gray/black transparent and I can not get anywhere.  Everything else seams to be OK.  Email is fine.

    Try clearing Safari's cache : Settings > Safari > Clear Cache (and Clear History)
    If that doesn't work then try closing Safari completely and then re-open it : from the home screen (i.e. not with Safari 'open' on-screen) double-click the home button to bring up the taskbar, then press and hold any of the apps on the taskbar for a couple of seconds or so until they start shaking, then press the '-' in the top left of the Safari app to close it, and touch any part of the screen above the taskbar so as to stop the shaking and close the taskbar.
    A third option is a reset : press and hold both the sleep and home buttons for about 10 to 15 seconds (ignore the red slider), after which the Apple logo should appear - you won't lose any content, it's the iPad equivalent of a reboot.

  • Cannot send or receive email from the cloud. all updates are competed and everything else is working fine on MAC. iPad sends and receives fine. any ideas.

    On Imac I am not able to send or receive messages. All software is updated. My iPad that uses the same email address and the Cloud, sends and receives just fine. It is not "the colored" thing that is spinning but the little black and white circular icn that is spinning away. My other email address is functioning fine. It is merely the ICLOUD based email that is acting up. Any ideas?

    First try deleting the account and reinstall it.

  • Adding music to iTunes from a different user account on the same computer

    I have recently begun using a PowerMacG5 at my college and I imported some music, all from CDs into iTunes under my user account. Then I discovered that this Mac already had music in a different location under a different user account. How do I merge these two libraries together so that both have the same music, same library? Or is that impossible?

  • E_ACT_TOO_MANY_ACTIVATIONS and Document is licensed for a different user account

    Thus far Adobe Digital Editions is the most complicated software to use in the universe- and I feel it may be the downfall of the entire E READER's existence.
    Here's why:
    1.) I created an account with adobe digital editions.
    2.) I purchased ebooks from Barnes and Nobles. com. These books are in EPUB format.
    3.) I downloaded said books from Barnes and Nobles .com to my PC. (windows XP)
    4.) I tried to open said files with ADE to transfer on my EREADER. No luck. I receive an error message stating that these files  are " Licensed under a different user account." Then I get the error "Too many activations)
    How are they licensed under a different user account?! I am the only user. Can someone please help me? I just want to move these two EPUB files into Adobe Digital Editions so that I may put them on my COOL-ER Reader.

    Hello Wjcawley,
    For the error E_ACT_TOO_MANY_ACTIVATIONS, I recommend creating a webcase. They have the option to reset your activations for this.
    Concerning the error that it is already licensed to another user, make sure you have the latest firmware installed on your COOL-ER reader. As some have been shipped with incorrectly configured firmware.
    Hope this helps.
    Kind regards,
    SyncWolf
