Access my library from a new computer

How do i access my library from a new computer?

I have done this but now I get the following error when I try to copy the song to the iPod.
"SongName" was not copoed to the iPod "IPodName" because you are not autorized to play it on this computer.
Although it will let my play the song on the computer?
History: Old computer crashed, got a new one and copied the songs off the old hard drive to new hard drive. Now things do not work right.

  • I have transferred my itunes library to an external drive. I then attached the external disk to a new computer. I can now access all songs from the new computer. But I can't access playlists. I can still  access all songs and playlists on the old computer

    If you right mouse and select Get info it will show you the Apple ID used to purchase these songs.
    Usually the name of an apple id is based on the email. So knowing that you may have forgotten the Apple ID password.
    You can request a new password here http://www.apple.com/support/appleid/

  • How do i access my itunes library from a new computer

    You can transfer it from your old computer via Setup Assistant or Migration Assistant. You can also get it from your old computer's backups.

  • I copied iPhoto library from old Mac to NAS. I cannot access the library from my new Mac

    I've a nice new MacBook Pro (OS X 10.9.5) with iPhoto version 9.5.1. I decided to move my iPhoto library from my old MBP (running iPhoto 7.1.5) to a Synology NAS and expected I'd be able to open it from the new Mac.
    I can see the library on the NAS from the new MAC. Unfortunately when I select it using option key on iPhoto launch or trying to open directly from the library in Finder, I end up with iPhoto open and showing "No photos". I've tried using iPhoto Library Manager and this can't select the library either.
    I can open the library on the NAS from my old Mac OK.
    Does anyone have an idea what I'm missing here?

    iPhoto Libraries cannot be located on a NAS driver. Read this Apple document, iPhoto: Issues with FAT32-formatted drives - Apple Support, and note the last sentence of the first paragraph.
    They must be located on a drive formatted OS X Extended (journaled) with ownership set to be ignored (if an external HD).  A NAS is a headless computer with a file system and file access requirements that are not compatible with iPhoto's Library structure.

  • Accessing Itunes account from a new computer

    My computer has crashed, so I cannot access my itunes. How can I access it from another computer?

    Depends on what you mean.
    You can access your account ( buy new music,etc.) by signing into your account.
    If you mean accessing the music, then use your backup copy to move the music to the new computer.
    You get ONE download, then it is up to you to backup your music ( incase of loss). If for some reason you have failed to maintain a backup ( terrible idea), then you could transfer itunes purchases from an ipod:

  • Accessing a library from a second computer (not simultanously)

    With Aperture 1.5, I used to be able to access a library in computer A from computer B through our Ethernet network.
    Now, when I try with Aperture 2, I get the following message: "Aperture cannot access this library. To use this library, make sure it is on local disk and file permissions are set correctly."
    Did I miss something?

    When you're dealing with data integrity, it's not really about how long you can push your luck. It's more about what the potential is for a complete disaster. Rarely, amongst databases, SQLite (which is what Aperture uses) has *no recovery code* built into it - I know because I use it too. If you lose a single byte's worth of integrity, you are completely and utterly dead. Restore from a backup, if you have one. On a local disk, this is taken care of by flushing disk-writes all the way through to the disk platters. That's not available over a network filesystem.
    With that in mind, I can easily see the argument going along the lines of "disk is cheap, losing a photographer's entire library through no fault of ours is a disaster, let's turn off the network option".
    As a bonus side-effect, it'd stop people trying to share access to a single library at the same time (I know that's not what you were doing, but I'm sure others have tried). That would screw up a library PDQ - CoreData (which, given the schema, seems to be what Aperture uses) doesn't support that at all.
    From the text of that dialogue (the inclusion of the 'local' word), it seems clear to me that networked access to libraries is no longer supported.

  • I need to access my library on my new computer. My wife has her own itunes account, but we are on the same home network. I do not want her music and vice a versa. Will this happen using icloud??

    can you pick what computer shares icloud or is it the entire network??

    I have multiple Apple IDs. Is there a way for me to merge them into a single Apple ID?
    Apple IDs cannot be merged. You should use your preferred Apple ID from now on, but you can still access your purchased items such as music, movies, or software using your other Apple IDs.
    You will not be able to Transfer anything from your Apple ID to her New Apple ID.
    Anything Purchased / Downloaded using Your Apple ID remains Tied to your Apple ID.

  • Can't Access iPhoto Library From Mail, Internet

    When i go to upload a picture on a website like Facebook I'm unable to access my iphoto library. The menus for the finder in safari will slither down and I'll navigate to my photos but when i get to the iphoto icon it looks faded and will not respond to being clicked on. Is there anyway to bypass this problem. THANKS!

    There are many, many ways to access your files in iPhoto:
    For 10.5 users: You can use any Open / Attach / Browse dialogue. On the left there's a Media heading, your pics can be accessed there. Apple-Click for selecting multiple pics.
    Uploaded with plasq's Skitch!
    To upload to a site that does not have an iPhoto Export Plug-in the recommended way is to Select the Pic in the iPhoto Window and go File -> Export and export the pic to the desktop, then upload from there. After the upload you can trash the pic on the desktop. It's only a copy and your original is safe in iPhoto.
    This is also true for emailing with Web-based services. If you're using Gmail you can use THIS
    If you use Apple's Mail, Entourage, AOL or Eudora you can email from within iPhoto. With 10.5 you can access the Library from the New Message Window in Mail:
    Uploaded with plasq's Skitch!
    If you use a Cocoa-based Browser such as Safari, you can drag the pics from the iPhoto Window to the Attach window in the browser.
    Or, if you want to access the files with iPhoto not running, then create a Media Browser using Automator (takes about 10 seconds) or use THIS
    Other options include:
    1. *Drag and Drop*: Drag a photo from the iPhoto Window to the desktop, there iPhoto will make a full-sized copy of the pic.
    2. *File -> Export*: Select the files in the iPhoto Window and go File -> Export. The dialogue will give you various options, including altering the format, naming the files and changing the size. Again, producing a copy.
    3. *Show File*: Right- (or Control-) Click on a pic and in the resulting dialogue choose 'Show File'. A Finder window will pop open with the file already selected.

  • HT1451 I need to move my library from my old computer to my new laptop. What's the best way to do this?

    I need to move my library from my old computer to my new laptop (Windows 8). What's the best way to do this?

    These are two possible approaches that will normally work to move an existing library to a new computer.
    Method 1
    Backup the library with this User Tip.
    Deauthorize the old computer if you no longer want to access protected content on it.
    Restore the backup to your new computer using the same tool used to back it up.
    Keep your backup up-to-date in future.
    Method 2
    Connect the two computers to the same network. Share your <User's Music> folder from the old computer and copy the entire iTunes library folder into the <User's Music> folder on the new one. Again, deauthorize the old computer if no longer required.
    Both methods should give the new computer a working clone of the library that was on the old one. As far as iTunes is concerned this is still the "home" library for your devices so you shouldn't have any issues with iTunes wanting to erase and reload.
    I'd recommend method 1 since it establishes an ongoing backup for your library.
    If you have an iOS device that syncs with contact & calendar data on your computer you should migrate this information too. If that isn't possible create a dummy entry of each type in your new profile and iTunes should offer to merge the existing data from the device into the computer, otherwise the danger is that it will wipe the information from the device.
    If your media folder has been split out from the main iTunes folder you may need to do some preparatory work to make it easier to move. See make a split library portable.
    Should you be in the unfortunate position where you are no longer able to access your original library, or a backup of it, then see Recover your iTunes library from your iPod or iOS device for advice on how to set up your devices with a new library with the maximum preservation of data. If you don't have any Apple devices then see HT2519 - Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store.

  • HT204053 I transferred my library to a new computer. Now have a different apple ID and it won't let me play songs from the previouse library and pops up with my old apple ID, which I don't have the password? Any ideas?

    I transferred my library to a new computer. Now we have a different ID and it won't let us play most of our library? It prompts us to use our old apple ID with a different email and lost password? Any ideas how to be able to play our extensive, expensive catalog?

    All content that you download from iTunes is tied to the account that downloaded it, and it can't be transferred to or merged with another account - so you will need to authorise that old account on that computer if you want to use its content.
    If you still have access to the email accoun then you can try getting the password reset via this page : http://appleid.apple.com, then 'reset your password
    If you don't have access to the email account then you could try contacting iTunes support and see if they can help you get access to the account : http://www.apple.com/support/itunes/contact/ - click on Contact iTunes Store Support on the right-hand side of the page

  • How can I migrate Adobe digital edition and its library from an old computer to a new one?

    How can I migrate Adobe digital edition and its library from an old computer to a new one?

    Pertains to a Windows machine..
    Definitely get other opinions on this. I last did this myself in 2010.
    The most important thing, is to make sure you have an account (which I think you must have, or you probably couldn't have posted here).
    As I recall, I downloaded ADE to my new computer, launched the software, authorized the new computer by supplying my login, and then just moved the 'My Digital Editions' folder to the new machine.
    Be sure to de-authorize your old machine after you have done all of this, or over time you could end up exceeding your 'simultaneous devices'-limit for accessing your materials. I suspect that *from within the app itself, while it is still installed on your old machine* may be your only opportunity to do this. It is certainly the best/easiest.
    Hey Internet! Have you done this more recently than I? If so, please chime in to make corrections or add detail.

  • Copying music from IPod to Music Library on a new computer

    I have a new Dell computer and I am trying to figure out how to download the music on my IPod to a new Music Library on my new computer. My old computer has crapped out so I cannot access the Music Library on it to backup or copy. All the info about transfering music to a new computer assumes access to the old computer and library. Unfortunately, I cannot do that, and cannot find a way to transfer the music. Any suggestions? Thanks, BOB
