After transferring my music from one PC to another ITunes wont let me add music to my iPhone, why?

iTunes wants to delete all my music on my iPhone and replace it. That includes playlists I have created. I have authorized my iPhone 4 for use on the new computer. Why is this process so painful? how can I stop this process from occurring and why can't after authorization can I not just carry on as I did on my old PC? Thank you for any assistance.

May be asking the obvious here - but on your new pc, whenyou have installed iTunes  - do you have the exact same playlist in your new pc iTunes library? It may simply be that your iphone is synched with "another" iTunes Library and doesnt recognise the new pc iTunes library - ...if you have the exact same library and playlist in the new pc this should not be a problem. However, if you want to extract all your playlists/ music etc from your phone to be loaded into your new library - or even as a backup just in case, use free software from www.getshareipod.com - its absolutely brilliant for ripping your content out of a phone/ ipod for you to copy to other devices or import back into a new iTunes library...have used it to extract 2Gb of music out of an old iPod for consolidation into my new iTunes library....Good luck!!

  • Is there any way to move a file or something from one computer to another that will let the new computer backup my iphone over wifi? I don't want to have to sync my phone to the new computer (my sons computer).

    Hi,
    I have my iphone 3GS setup to be able to backup and sync with my computer over wifi. But I want to be able to backup to my sons computer also.
    The things is I don't want to have to sync to his computer first to do this. Is there a file or something I can move from my computer that is setup to his that would let his see my iphone over wifi?

    If you don't have access to the old computer any longer, '''no'''. Unless you were using something like the Google Toolbar & Google Bookmarks or Xmarks, which would have your bookmarks in an online account that you could access. Firefox doesn't include an online storage feature for personal data, yet. That is coming in a future version.
    If you have a friend at your old job maybe they have access to that old PC and they could export your bookmarks to a file and email that file to you.

    Hello Naveen,
    If the connection is available (test with SM59 + Connection identifier),
    after choosing your Connection you can test the connection:
    you might find the idocs with the daate when they where sent in SM58:
    The message says in this case there was no service, there might also be other errors like "wrong password" and so on.
    After solving the error, you can restart sending the idoc from this screen.
    Hope this helps .

    Network the two machines together and use iPhoto Library Manager

  • Transferring email addresses from one account to another

    I'm not sure if this is a good place to post this but after spending a good bit of time on the phone with FiOS customer service and technical support I just feel like venting my frustrations and hope that maybe someone could give me a valid explanation of why this cannot be done.
    To give a brief (hopefully) summary of what's going on...
    My wife and I are currently in the process of moving from Florida to Maryland because of the current job market and economy situation.  As always...the moving process has been a "blast".  For at least a few months we will be "between" homes and will be staying with friends.  Because of this we had to cancel our FiOS service (which I did last week and it will be shutting off sometime today).  Since we've been very please with the actual service FiOS provides we have (or maybe I should say "had") every intention of signing back up with Verizon once we're in a new home in the Maryland area.
    So here's where the trouble comes into play...I contacted Verizon to see if it would be possible to somehow transfer our existing Verizon.net email addresses from our account to my friend's account (the person I'm staying with).  You would've thought I was asking for a year's worth fo free service.  Initially I was told by customer service that this can't be done.  They explained that an email address is like a phone number and two separate accounts cannot have the same email address.  Thanks for the newsflash!  I explained again that what I wanted to do was move my email addresses so they would now be associated with my friends account.  This didn't seem like such a horrible request considering my friend pays for FiOS service and with that gets 9 available email addresses....and was only using 2 of them.  She ultimately just told me it was something that couldn't be done.  But she did inform me of the "Verizon Your Domain" service that would allow current FiOS subscribers to associate their Verizon.net email account with a new domain name that you create.  It would cost $20 per year and would allow you to keep your Verizon.net email if you canceled FiOS service.  This sounded like an ok option.
    But still -- I was curious why I couldn't transfer email addresses.  So I then contacted technical support.  This time it was explained to me that an email address was like a social security #.  It couldn't just be given to another person.  Great analogies in use at Verizon....I give them that.  I told the guy I was a fellow "techie" and asked him for a more detailed explanation.  That's when it got good.  That's what killed me.  He spent all this time talking about ACL's and routing and how email addresses couldn't be moved because "you're talking about 2 million addresses".  Long and short he was trying to say the Verizon email system was just too complex.  Finally I told him that it had to be something that could be done....and his exact words were "well sure it can be done...but we're not going to do it if you're not paying for a service".  Wow!  Great response!  I've been a paying customer of FiOS for about two years.  I've had some form of service with Verizon for about 15 years (from phone service to mobile service with V-Wireless).  I fully understand that I'm no longer paying for FiOS service.  But my friend is.  And he has 7 email accounts he's not using.  So why couldn't they be moved?  Because the system is too complex?  Give me a break.  Like this guy finally admitted...it boils down to money.
    Finally I gave up.  I told my wife that we'd just have to deal with switching to a new email address.  Life will move on.  She wanted to try the "Verizon Your Domain" option though.  She started doing the process online...had some questions....and decided to call customer service.  She got transferred around to three different people...the last of which told her "you need to call a different department" and then CLICK. 
    Great, great job Verizon.  All I ask is if someone could give me some sort of response that makes sense.  If you just don't want to offer the transfer option then tell me. 
    I expect to be in a new home within a month or two.  And suddenly Comcast is looking very good.

    Well, CS was right when they said that Verizon cannot transfer your email to another account. In order to do that they would have to overwrite the email of your friend ( I dont think your friend would apreciate that ). This is due to a limitation on the email system.
    However, you may have another option. If you are going to be getting Verizon service again in the realitivly near future (4-8 weeks or so), Then after your acount is closed, contact tech support. If you get the right agent they will "enable" your email. That way you can continue to use it even though you dont have service any more. Now they cant do this for long but for temporary it can be done. Then once you get your service back, they can then move your existing email to your new account. (this can now be done as they will overwrite your new email with your old).
    Now if your going to be without Verizon service for more than a couple months, you may be out of luck but this is one option
    umm, oh bhoy!
    In fact, a "repoint" of an email address CAN be completed onto another account AND it does not overwrite anything on the receiving account.    Each acount, whether its a FiOS account or a copper account, has an account number.   The email address is assigned to the account number.    The email address can be "repointed" from one account to another, as an 'add-on' to the new account, then it can be 'repointed' back to another account later.    HOWEVER, the contract does say that you must have a valid account.  AND, Verizon cannot (no company can) allow you to manipulate someone else's account.  
    as to the "after your acount is closed, contact tech support. If you get the right agent they will "enable" your email", well, the fact is that the account has to be provisioned to an address.   So, though I have come accross accounts that seemed to still be "on" after the listed close date, it was not something that verizon's tier 1 tech support can effect (that's who you get on the phone when you call tech support) (note that 'sales' could not do this for you, either)   So good luck with that.
    What happens is that Verizon will not allow anyone to take your email addresses for at least 6 months. 
      Before you cancelled you may have had an option to have a notice auto-replied to any email that gets sent to your email address, for a limited amount of time, like they can do with a telephone number ("this number has been changed to . . . . . ")  that "this email address is temporarily suspended, or something. . . . I said MAY have had the opportunity. .. .   but if it was me, I would get to where you are going and make sure they have Verizon internet account already   and have them call verizon tech support (so they can verify their account info)  with you standing there so that you can verify your old account info and immediately and plainly ask if you can have an email "repoint" done for you.

  • Transferring home movies from one computer to another

    What is the best way to do this? I have about 500 video clips that I want to move from one computer to another. I've tried using the export function in iPhoto but all I get upon transfer is a single frame of the movie. I keep the files on an external HD but I can't find where they are stored. I see the iPhoto app to open but not the original files. Additionally, whenever I do locate these files, how can I get them transferred with the keywords assigned to them? TIA! Going from a MBP running 10.6.8 to a MBA running 10.8.2

    I'm not sure you can assign keywords to a movie on export, as these are written to the exif metadata of a photo and most video has no such metadata.
    You say you've tried the export function in iPhoto, but what settings have you used? Exporting with the Kind set to Original should yield the videos.

  • Transfering raw files from one computer to another after LightRoom selection

    Hello,
    I'm trying out lightroom and love it so far. One quick question. If my assistant makes a Collection for me to work on later, how can I get the RAW files from that collection to work them on a different computer. I looked at the export option but it's only JPGs or DNF, and I want the RAW files. Can she export the RAW files for me? How?
    Thank you in advance

    Thanks for your info. I'm a bit confused.
    Don, if she exports the XMP sidecards I still need to have all the original files on my machine, and then filter accordingly correct? I only want to bring to my machine the Good Files. I don't want to waste time with the bad ones.
    What do mean by letting her access both?
    Harrison, are you saying to export the whole collection as DNG files and burn it onto a CD or something so that I can bring it into my computer? I'm not sure what you mean by letting my assistant "import them into the library on her computer" did you mean "my" computer?
    Also right now I use bridge and I sort pictures by date created (multiple cameras) and then rename them with a prefix starting with 001. Can I do this in LightRoom.
    Thanks again for all your help.

  • Transferring all data from one computer to another

    Hi,
    I have an iMac and a Macbook Pro - I would like to completely switch the data on the two computers.  In other words, I'd like to put everything that is on my macbook on the iMac, and vise versa.  I have backed both computers up using Time Machine, but I'm not sure what the best way is to do the swapover.  Any ideas?  I want to do more than just add the data from one to another, I want to completely wipe out the imac and install the macbook data on it, and completely wipe out the macbook and install the iMac data.  Any ideas?

    What I would do is to move all the apps music and other media to the new cmputer.  Make sure the computer is authorized for the iTunes account(s) and iTunes logged into the progler account. Then connect the iPod to the computer and make a backup by right clicking on the iPod under Devices in iTunes and select Back Up.  Restore the iPod from that backup.

  • Cant open boot archive after copying Solaris 10 from one machine to another

    We are running "Solaris 10 3/05 s10_74L2a" on a Sun Fire 480R.
    I tried to, using ufsdump to copy the filesysem to a T5220 which has 4 disks, the first 2 disks are a mirrored os of a Solaris 10 version already there.
    So I restored the ufs inages to the 3rd disk, ran installboot with the bootblock from the restored image for s sun Fire 480R as there did not appear to be a bootblock for a T5220 , as its a more recent server.
    ie:
    installboot /mnt/usr/platform/`uname -i`/lib/fs/ufs/bootblk /dev/rdsk/c1t2d0s0
    /mnt/usr/platform/SUNW,SPARC-Enterprise-T5220/lib/fs/ufs/bootblk: File not found
    so I do this instead :
    installboot /mnt/usr/platform/SUNW,Sun-Fire-480R/lib/fs/ufs/bootblk /dev/rdsk/c1t2d0s0
    Now then I try to boot I get :
    Boot device: /pci@0/pci@0/pci@2/scsi@0/disk@2 File and args:
    ufs-file-system
    Loading: /platform/sun4v/boot_archive
    Loading: /platform/sun4v/boot_archive
    Can't open boot_archive
    Evaluating:
    The file just loaded does not appear to be executable.
    but, as far as I know this old version of Solaris did not use a boot archive and there is no directory /platform/sun4v/boot_archive in the restored files, nor on the original server.
    So, my question is, if the old version of os did not support a boot-archive, why is this restored image, when I boot , giving this error.
    Surely all the data on the 3rd disk should be the same as on the old server.!!
    What am I missing here ??
    George

    Well, you can't just copy an OS from one type of system to another and expect it to work. For one thing the OS communicates with its hardware through the /dev/ and /devices layer, and that layer will be completely different when you transfer it to another system.
    Second of all the lack of boot block for the T5220 in your installation indicates that your version of Solaris 10 does not support the T5220 platform, which probably means that it will be impossible to boot completely on it anyway..
    I'm not sure when the SPARC systems started to use the boot-archive..
    Anyway, the two things you have missed is to create the boot-archive (with bootadm update-archive -R /mnt), and to run devfsadm on the new platform (devfsadm -r /mnt ).
    Even so, there is no guarantee that your version of Solaris actually supports your hardware.. But i guess that's documented in the Sun System Hardware Handbook..

  • Moved Library from one Mac to another. iTunes won't play tracks in order.

    Hi
    I moved all my iTunes music from my Mac Pro to my MacBook Pro by simply moving the "iTunes" folder from one to the other. There wasn't anything in the MacBook Pro iTunes folder so I just deleted it and replaced it with the one from my Mac Pro.
    However although all looks just right in the iTunes browser when I open it up, unfortunately iTunes won't play the tracks in order.
    If I play a track on one album when it comes to the end of that, it doesn't continue with the next track on that album, but rather skips to the first track of a later album.
    I wonder if anyone has any suggestions for how I might remedy this?

    I don't use it, no.  I've been reading about it recently, and it was an example of where the quality of a Song can change if it is downloaded from iTunes Match. 
    I've used Home Sharing though, as follows:
    1. Copy music from CD to iTunes on Windows PC
    2. Transfer music from Windows PC to iMac using Home Sharing
    I do this becasue the iMac doesn't have a optical drive.  I haven't checked to see if the quality has changed, but I assume it just copies the files so it wouldn't make sense if the quality had changed.
