Transfering catalog from PSE9 to new computer

I have read how to tranfer the catalog to a new computer. Is it also true that the albums would also be transferred when backing up the catalog and restoring it to the new comoputer? Since the catalog references the previous image files in the original computer where do you put the image files on the new computer(Windows 7)? The image files on the original computer were stored in the my pictures folder in the document directory. I am assuming that the images should be put in the Windows 7 pictures folder. Is that correct? Also, what do you do about the xmp files?

Please tell us what you read so we can be sure we have the same understanding.

Yes, if you do it properly.
Since the catalog references the previous image files in the original computer where do you put the image files on the new computer(Windows 7)?
Well that depends on my comment earlier. If you are using the PSE Organizer commands File->Backup Catalog followed by (on the new computer) File->Restore Catalog, you can tell PSE to put the photos anywhere you want. (By the way, since your question is "where do you put...", let me say that YOU don't put the photos anywhere, PSE puts the photos where you tell it to put them. "YOU" are not moving the photos yourself. I realize this is a minor point and comes up perhaps because of your choice of words, but I want this to be clear.)
The image files on the original computer were stored in the my pictures folder in the document directory. I am assuming that the images should be put in the Windows 7 pictures folder.
If you are using the PSE Organizer commands File->Backup Catalog followed by (on the new computer) File->Restore Catalog, you can tell PSE to put the photos anywhere you want. Oh, but I said that already.
Also, what do you do about the xmp files?
If you are using the PSE Organizer commands File->Backup Catalog followed by (on the new computer) File->Restore Catalog, then PSE will handle this for you. Advice: if you let PSE manage your photos, you never ever ever have to worry about the xmp files, because PSE takes care of that for you.

Move PSE6 catalog from XP to new computer Windows 7

Help! I have a new computer with Windows 7 installed. The store I purchased it from did a data transfer for me so the "My Pictures" folder was moved into the new computer. I just downloaded the PSE6 program again as programs were not moved.
Now what do I do?? I have an External Hard Drive connected to the old computer and had made a full and 3 incremental backups through PSE6. (I have 127gb of photos as shoot in raw).
I have read some info on this site so am confused..... should I delete the "My Pictures" (all the photos) from the new computer first?
I have an External hard drive connected to the old computer. Should I do a FULL backup and send it to that External HD then plug that into the new computer and download from that?
Would appreciate your help (in simple precise terms - not very computer literate! ) as I don't want to lose my Catalog as it has a lot of collections.
Thank you!

First make sure you've got a precise record of what your key is and who it's registered to. (I usually just print out a screenshot of the existing "Register" tab in my QuickTime preferences.)
Now on the old PC, go into your QuickTime control panel. In the "Register" tab, clear the key from the QuickTime Registration section and click OK.
Now on the new PC, reenter those details in the "Register" tab and click OK.

HT201272 Transfering songs from ipod to new computer? its only transfering a few not all

Can anyone tell me why my new computer wont transfer all my ipod songs to the library only a few and then when i try to sync new songs it says it can only do it from one library and wants to erase all the songs from my ipod when i click transfer from ipod to library its only transfering a few selceted songs

Your i-device was not designed for unique storage of your media. It is not a backup device and media transfer is designed with you maintaining a master copy of your media on a computer which is itself properly backed up against loss. Syncing is one way, computer to device, updating the device content to the content on the computer, not updating or restoring content on a computer. The exception is purchased content.
iTunes Store: Transferring purchases from your iOS device or iPod to a computer - http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1848 - only media purchased from iTunes Store
For transferring other items from an i-device to a computer you will have to use third party commercial software. Examples (check the web for others; this is not an exhaustive listing, nor do I have any idea if they are any good):

Transferring iTunes from iPod to new computer

I have damaged my Apple PowerBook (containing my 'master' iTunes library) beyond repair and am unable to access any data on the drive.
Having purchased a new MacBook I am attempting to move the library of music and images from my 5th Generation 30gb iPod onto the new computer.
I have followed the instructions given here:
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=300173
Which suggests removing the iTunes folder from the new computer and replacing it with the iTunes folder from the iPod.
But when I open up the iPod icon on my desktop there are only four folders: Calendars/Contacts/Notes/Photos.
There is no iTunes folder?
Can anyone help please.

Since you have a Mac you can use a program called Senuti. It transfers all your material from your iPod to your computer. Download Senuti, then in the preferences, set your destination folder to the iTunes music folder. All the content on your iPod will be placed in there and then all you have to do is transfer that to your new iTunes library. Hope it works out.

Transferring files from iPod to new computer.

My old computer died, and it is the only computer authorized to run my iTunes files. The new computer has itunes 8 installed on it. I would like to transfer the files on my ipod to my new itunes, but i do not know how. I have heard about third-party resources that i can use to transfer these files, but i would prefer to not use any of these because i do not want to get a virus or let in spyware. If a third-party resource is the only way i can access the files on my iPod nano, then i would like it if you could suggest a safe, virus and spyware free resource. Can you help me? Please help i really would appriciate it. Thanks!

Hello, Welcome to Apple Discussions.
Below you will find articles to assist you today
Step 1: Download and install iTunes on Vista. Please keep in mind Vista has 2 possible versions depending if you are running 32 bit or 64 bit of Vista. You can find this out by right click on Computer and selecting properties.
http://www.apple.com/itunes/download/ (32 bit)
http://support.apple.com/downloads/iTunes8_0_2_for_Windows_64bit (64 bit)
Step 2: Authorize new computer
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1420
Step 3: Transfer iTunes purchases from iPod into iTunes

Keep in mind if you have any content not from the iTunes Store on the iPod it can not be transfered back via this method. You will need to reimport the files from their original source back into iTunes.

Transferring Purchases from iPod to New Computer

I have recently gotten a new laptop and I am having problems transferring my purchases from my iPod to the laptop. I have authorized the new computer and have followed the instructions given by Apple on how to transfer (Transfer Purchases from "__" with the iPod connected). However, it only "transfers" a few of the songs and I still can't play them. When I try to play any of the songs, it says that it can't locate the original file.
Before connecting my iPod, I had transferred all of my music to my computer via an external hard drive. I have also tried moving the music files to the iTunes Media/Music folder as well as adding the original file from my hard drive to the iTunes library.

There is authorization and "authorization"
I did a similar move. I replaced my Itunes server with a new build. I successfully saved off the old Itunes folder to my Network Attached Storage box and later copied that archive from the NAS into My Music on the new Itunes server.
The Itunes folder contained different types of data.
For CDs I loaded DIRECTLY into Itunes, the data includes authorization to play the data - because Itunes verified that it was an origional CD that was played directly into Itunes.
In a similar manner, if you have Itunes data that was purchased and downloaded from the Itunes Store, then you need to "Authorize" the computer with Itunes in order to play that Itunes Store procured data. This is the "you have done 3 of 5" authorization.
Finally, for CDs that I loaded into my old server via Windows Media Player, when I did a consolidate in Itunes, it went out and found the WMP data on a disk I dedicated to WMP music files, and since it was authorized in WMP, Itunes would play it. When I went to the new server, Itunes had the Itunes version of the songs in its library, but would NOT play the songs that had been migrated into Itunes from WMP until I actually connected the hard drive with the WMP files on it so Itunes could satisfy itself that it has "autorized" copies of the music. As soon as I connected the Windows Media Player data drive, Itunes did a compare and updated the Itunes versions of the songs imported from WMP to authrized and plays them just fine.
The alternative is to reload from the origional media.
Hope this helps.

Transferring IPhoto from old to new computer

Hello:
I am having problems transferring my IPhoto album from my old computer to my new computer
Old computer
• MacbookPro 2.6Ghz Intel Core Duo
• OSX v 10.7.5
• IPhoto v 9.4.2
New Computer
• MacBookPro 2.6GHz Intel Core i7
• OSX v 10.8.2
• IPhoto v 9.4.2
Both computers Pictures albums and IPhoto Libraries permissions are are set to "read and write" for administrator and everyone. File sharing is on in System Preferences.
When I try to copy from the old to the new computer, I get message "Items can’t be copied to “Pictures” because you don’t have permission to read them". I have done the IPhoto "repair permission" on both computers and still cannot copy my IPhoto album from my old to new computer. What now? This is very frustrating :-(

Where on the new computer are you trying to copy to? Try changing the destination to the Desktop.
Another approach would be to connect the two Macs together with the old MBP in Firewire Target Disk Mode. Then see if you can copy the library without the permissions error.

Transferring music from old to new computer ?

hey!
so i tried following the tutorial for transferring music from my old computer to my new computer (both of them PC's) and i got as far as the "copy itunes folder into ipod then connect to new computer"
now the next step is to take that itunes folder outta my ipod folder and place it into "my music" and then delete the itunes folder from my ipod so i free up my memory again.
the only problem is i don't know where this "ipod folder" is located so i can't extract the itunes folder and now i have all this memory used up.
has anyone done this before because the PC version of the tutorial doesn't seem to be working. my question is what should this ipod folder look like and where can i find it?
THANKS!

Hi cynthia I know what your going through the same exact thing happened to me (I feel your pain and stress). You can use Windows Explorer to delete the folder it should be obsvisoly labeled I belive as "Itunes" and if you acidentally delete your music its already on your new computer anyway so all you would have to plug it in and it would sync...

Transfering songs from ipod to new computer

Hello..Please forgive me but I not very computer literate...I have a new computer and want to put the 101 songs that are currently on my Ipod classic onto the itunes playlist for the new computer. How do I go about doing this?? Using the SYNC function won't work because it tells me that all of the songs that i currently have on the ipod will be areased..any assistance in this matter would be greatly appreciated
Thanks..
John

1). Connect your iPod to your computer. When you get the message that it is linked to a different library and asking if you want to link to this one and replace all your songs etc, press "Cancel".
2). When your iPod appears in the iTunes source list change the update setting to manual, that will let you use your iPod without the risk of accidentally erasing it. Check the "manually manage music and videos" box in Summary then press the Apply button. Also when using most of the utilities listed below your iPod needs to be enabled for disc use, changing to manual update will do this by default: Managing content manually on iPod and iPhone
3). Once you are safely connected there are a few things you can do to restore your iTunes from the iPod. There are a number of third party utilities that you can use to retrieve the music files and playlists from your iPod. You'll find that they have varying degrees of functionality and some will transfer movies, videos, photos, podcasts and games as well. Have a look at the web pages and documentation, this is just a small selection of what's available, they are generally quite straightforward. You can read reviews and comparisons of some of them here:

If you have any iTunes Music Store purchases the transfer of purchased content only from the iPod to authorised computers was introduced with iTunes 7. You'll find details in this article: Copying iTunes Store purchases from your iPod or iPhone to a computer
There's also a manual method of copying songs from your iPod to a Mac or PC. The procedure is a bit involved and won't recover playlists but if you're interested it's available on page 2 at this link: Copying Content from your iPod to your Computer - The Definitive Guide
4). Whichever of these retrieval methods you choose, keep your iPod in manual mode until you have reloaded your iTunes and you are happy with your playlists etc then it will be safe to return it auto-sync.
5). I would also advise that you get yourself an external hard drive and back your stuff up, relying on an iPod as your sole backup is not a good idea and external drives are comparatively inexpensive these days, you can get loads of storage for a reasonable outlay: Back up your iTunes library by copying to an external hard drive

Transferring music from Ipod to new computer

Hello, I have just bought a new computer and would like to know how I can transfer the playlists from my Ipod directly to the Itunes that I have just downloaded.

I tried following this document and made my Ipod a hard drive so I could copy files off it onto a flash drive memory stick, so that I could then copy them onto my new computer.
The ipod files won't go anywhere!
What else can I do??? (Since I was moving, I copied all my CDs onto it using my old computer, which is now inaccessible some 8000 miles away, as are the CDs.)
I would like to back up the CDs from the ipod on my new computer, and be able to play them from the computer, too.
How do you get them off the ipod onto my new computer???

Transferring pictures from ipad2 to new computer!

I have a iPad2 that I have had since August. I recently lost everything on my pc cause my hard drive got fried. I have a lot of pictures on my iPad that I lost on my hard drive and I want to transfer them back onto my new pc. When I plug iPad into compuer it asks right away about opening my pics and videos in windows media player but the only ones that transfer are the pics I took with the iPad (photo booth) and ones I put on iPad from a camera connection kit. None of the pics that I transferred from my old pc will transfer from iPad to new pc. Please any suggestions would be appreciated. I want to back up everything on my iPad cause the back facing camera doesnt work and looks like I will be needing a new one! I really need to save those pictures that don't seem to want to transfer! Thanks for your help!

I have never used this but it is suppose to be pretty good stuff according to what I have read here from other users.

HT1349 Transferring data from device to new computer?

I just bought a new computer. I downloaded iTunes but it says that my computer is not authorized. Hmmm. If I sync my devices with the new computer, it threatens to wipe out my stuff on my iPhone and iPad. How can I get my devices to talk to my new computer?

You can authorize up to 5 devices at a time. First thing to do would be to sync your iPad with your old computer.
I suggest you authorize your new computer, then transfer all of your iTunes media to the new computer from the old one. Then deauthorize your old computer.

Transferring songs from Mini to new computer (old crashed)

I have a new computer since my old one crashed, and I don't have any backup of my old songs. Is there any way to transfer the songs from my Ipod Mini to my new computer? I read that the transfer can only go from my computer to my Ipod unless I put the Ipod in disk mode, which I can't do, since I no longer have the Itunes my Ipod was connected to. I'm afraid if I hook the Ipod up to my new computer it will erase all my songs. HELP, please!

No worry
Download and install a 3rd party e.g. YamiPod and use it to copy the songs from your iPod to your new PC
