32GB Issue Xperia Z Music File transfer

I have just bought the above Xperia and sourced a separate 32GB SD card. I formatted the card through my PC, then transferred about 20GB of tunes onto it as MP3 files. The phone only shows 427 songs....
Lost as to where the rest are and the length of time it has taken to transfer. Disappointing to say the least! Anyone any ideas how to solve the "visibility issue" When I put the card back to the PC it shows all the files. The guy in the vodafone shop told me this evening that it is likely that the phone will need time to absorb the new files like an Iphone...not having owned an Iphone, I assume he is talking keek!

The likely answer is that some of the files are in an incompatible format such as wma; are you able to confirm that for us?

Music files transfer

How can I transfer my music files from my computer to an external drive to save space and keep the iTunes running, I use a Dell PC with Windos 7

With iTunes closed move the entire iTunes folder from <User's Music> to the root of the chosen drive, e.g. as X:\iTunes where X: is the drive letter. Press and hold down shift as you start iTunes, keep holding until prompted to choose or create a library, click Choose and open the library file at X:\iTunes\iTunes Library.itl.
I'd also recommend you get another drive and backup the library to it at the earliest opportunity.

Ipod music file transfer

I have an iMac in the states that's in storage with my entire music library & I used it to load up my ipod before leaving. Now I'm stationed overseas and recently purchased a Powerbook G4. I know there's safeguarding to prevent cross computer ipod sharing. But is there any way to bypass this with Apple directly by proving dual ownership of the computers & any way to prove the music files currently on my ipod came from one of the Macs I own? Or am I stuck hoping this ipod behaves for the next few years?

HT4527 Th the music file transfer so slow

How can this be done faster?

Get a faster network (not Internet) connection.
Get faster computers.
Transfering files via the network has nothing to do with iTunes. The speed of the network, amount of memory on the computer, and the speed of the processor dictate the speed at which files transfer.

Xperia Z1 - WiFi file transfer problem

When I try transfering files to my NAS (or PC, doesn't matter) via WiFi, the sending hangs frequently for several seconds. Sometimes it transfers only 500k, then hangs for maybe 10 sec, at other times it sends 20 MB in one go before hanging again. For larger files (e.g. videos > 100 MB) these hangs get so bad that every app that I tried so far (various file managers and sync apps, even the included FK file manager) aborts the transfer. As a consequence I'm not able to backup my photos/videos properly via WiFi.
There is no issue copying files from the NAS to my phone. There is also no issue sharing big videos per WhatsApp via WiFi. I have no such issue on other android devices, using the same apps, same WiFi connection, saving to the same NAS share. And I can't remember having the issue prior to the Lollipop update.
I contacted Sony support but all they said was they are not aware of any issue, and they would pass the info on (to whom ever).
Does anyone observe the same issue? Any remedy? Of course I could use PC Companion or maybe even USB transfer, but that would be much less comfortable compared to an automatic sync via WiFi...
Solved!
Go to Solution.

I'm afraid i don't know of any way to automatically reconnect remote shares but i'll forward it as feedback.
Best suggestion i have at the moment is to reconnect manually or perhaps that you look for another 3:rd party app that has the features you want. As it works with the native support i think it's safe to say the issue is in the SMB support in the app(s) you've tried.
Depending on what operating system you have in the server you could perhaps also see if it has the latest version of Samba or try another OS in a virtual machine and make a share there and see if the same thing happens.
I also get that message about the SD Card in File Commander but it must be an issue with File Commander, the SD Card is never unmounted when it gives this message and File Commander also still have access to it.

How can i transfer my music files from iPad 2 to MacBook Pro?

hello,
I got my mp3 files from PC and transfer to iPad 2. it works good.
And I want to transfer this mp3 files from iPad to MacBook Pro.
I don't know how to do it and it seems like I should 'buy some tranfer program from other website'.
Should it word that way? or iTunes program can't deal this issue?
I have changed some music file information (such as Album, Artist, etc) of mp3 files in iPad from iTune in MacBook. Of course, the iPad was connected to the MacBook. However after I disconnected the iPad from the Mac, those changes were not shown in the iPad (edited album name, artist name...). When I connect the iPad to the Mac again, I can see the changes in iTune in the Mac.
Another issue.
Does Anybody know how to set calendar from Japanese calendar to Gregorian calendar in iPad 2? When I setup the iPad first time, I might choose wrong calendar but I can't change/see the calendar option from iPad settings...
I have been used PC for 20 years but to transfer myself to Apple, it's not easy....
Issue 1 - music file transfer from iPad 2 to MacBook Pro
Issue 2 - music file info udate in iPad 2 through MacBook and it doen's implied after disconnected.
Issue 3 - Change calendar from Japanese to Gregorian in iPad 2
Please advise,
Have a great day!!

A free app that can deal with music files is Songbird.
There are two paid apps that can transfer just about any type of file; TouchCopy and PhoneView

Issue to transfer music files from itunes to iPhone

hello
when I want to transfer a music file from itunes to the iphone. the iphone is visible but can not be selected to copy the file in there.
Worth noticing that similar transfer worked fine on a different MAC. In both cases, the option synchronised was not ticked
Any suggestion?

Don't tell me that we can only transfer music file from one unique itunes library??

I just recently got a new laptop and transfered everything over and it seemed to be ok but now having issues playing videos and can't edit any of my song info in music files

I just got a new laptop so I had to transfer everything over and I thought everything would be ok but I'm having some strange issues especially with my purchased tv shows, movies, and music videos. They just wont play. Sometimes I'll get lucky and a tv show will play but if I stop it and try again it wont. If I open in Quicktime it works fine. The computer is authorized so that shouldnt be it especially if it plays in QT and like I said sometimes I'll get lucky and one will play. Now the other thing I just noticed is all my music files play fine but when opening and looking at the info of the music file I can't edit anything for example song title or artist the area seems shaded and won't let me do any editing. So I'm having those 2 issues. Video files not playing ones that I have purchased. movies, tv shows and music videos. Also like I said if I just sit there and click one after another I may get lucky and one will play but if I stop it and try again it will not play again. And I can't seem to edit any music file which play fine. I have a new Dell with windows 7 and I have never had this happen any help would be great. The computer is authorized for i tunes so it cant be that.

Right-click on your main iTunes folder and click Properties, then go to the Security tab and click Advanced. If necessary grant your account and system full control to this folder, subfolders and files, then tick the option to replace permissions on child objects which will repair permissions throughout the library. This is the XP dialog but Windows 7 shouldn't be too different.

Home Sharing - how to get music files to transfer from one computer to another...

I have two computers in my home authorised for Home Sharing - I have no problems locating the other library on either of my computers. However, when I am on iTunes in Computer A and I click onto Computer B's music library (so that I can transfer music file to Computer A) I am unable to move Computer B's music into Computer A. I have both iTunes open on each computer and ther are both using the same Wifi connection.
In iTunes Help, it says:
     - select the music files that I want to share into Computer A. (this bit I can do).
     - in the 'show' menu at the bottom of the iTunes window, select 'items not in my library'. This is where I run into trouble - there does not appear to be any such menu!
     - select items I wish to import, then click on 'import'. - again, no such button appears to exist!
I have updated my iTunes software to the latest version available on both computers. This is very frustrating for something that should be quite simple - I would very much appreciate any suggestions or solutions...

Hi arastis10,
If you are having issues transfering songs between computers set up for Home Sharing, you may find the following articles helpful:
Apple Support: Understanding Home Sharing
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT3819
With Home Sharing, you can stream music and video from one authorized computer to another, or simply drag music between computer libraries. You can also choose to have iTunes automatically import purchases you make on any of your Home Sharing computers to your own library. To do so, select the library and use the Settings button at the lower right of the iTunes window to check what you'd like copied.

Transfer music files from internal drive to external drive

Prior to purchasing a new computer, I transferred the music files and library.xml file from my old PC to an external drive. Now I want to transfer the music to my new PC.
The issue I have is that the Library.xml file points to the music on the F: drive and I want to put the music on my D: drive. I tried to do a find/replace within the .xml file, but the file is so large (20MB) that it takes forever to open and do a find/replace.
Is there an easier way to transfer my music files to my new PC and use my Library.xml? If so, how? I have spent countless hours organizing my Library so I don't want to start all over.
Help! Thanks.

Well, a really easy way to do it would be to simply force windows to use a different letter for your drives. Where you currently have your music on D:, you could tell Windows to start calling that drive F:. Of course, this could cause problems if anything like the registry, programs, or shortcuts refer D:. To make this change, right-click "My Computer" and choose Manage. You can do this right in the start menu of Windows XP. A new window will open. Select Disk Managment on the left and all your drives should show up on the right. Right-click the drive you want to change the letter of and choose "Change Drive Letter and Paths". I can't verify if these options exist on XP Home, but it works on my XP Pro.
I'm running into a similar but more complicated problem, which I will post somewhere if I can't find a solution. I have my library split between two drives and now I want them all on one new drive I bought. Ick!

Help with file transfer issue

When importing a music file from my computer, Itunes does not transfer the file complete, but rather separates songs from the album. I end up with several files in itunes, all from the same album. It seems that the ones seperated are usually songs that "feature" other artists.

Yeah this is a common issue, what you need to do is highlight all the songs that are suppose to be under the same album and make sure the Album title is correct and the Album Artist is correct. If not you will want to change it so it is reflected correctly.

I have an iPod Touch but I currently don't have a PC. I found an app that would allow me to connect to my network drive and I was able to transfer music files to it. These files do not show under the Music app and I can't find any way to do it.

I need help from some Apple people. I have an iPod Touch and I wanted to load it up with some fresh music but I currently don't have a PC. I found an app that would allow me to connect to my 2TB network drive directly and I was able to transfer a bunch of music files to the iPod. Unfortunately, these new files do not show under the Music app and I can't seem to find any way to convince the iPod that they are music. I can play them through the file manager only. Android doesn't have this problem, any music I put on my phone is recognized as music and can be played through any of the music apps. Am I missing something or is Apple to inflexible to handle this?

You can't. The only way to get songs in the Music app is to sync from a computer or to download from iTunes.

How do i transfer music files from an sd card to a late 2008 model Macbook Pro?

The android phone I have is really messed up and I can't plug it in with a USB cable to transfer the music files so is there anyway I can transfer them with just the sd card? I know on the newer models there's a slot for the sd card adapter but it's not on my model. Any help?

If is a MicroSD card you'll need a MicroSD to SD card adapter. Something like this.
Once you have one of those just insert it into the SD card slot on your Mac then open a Finder window and select all the images and press Command + c to copy then go to the folder you want to put them in and select it and press Command + v to paste to that folder.

What Is The Best Way To Transfer Music Files to New MacBook

Just got my new MacBook. So far, love it. Now, I need to transfer all the music files from my iTuns on my old PC to the MacBook. I have all the files backed up on a network drive, that the MacBook can access no problem Should I try to manually copy all the files the Mac hard drive, or can I use the "consolidate" feature in iTunes?? I'm not sure what that does, actually. I want to avoid having to manually File/Add to Library over 1000 songs!
Any help appreciated!

Unless you've changed the automatic copy option in the Advanced settings of the iTunes preferences, just drag the files into the open iTunes window.
