Best way to export music and photos from PB G4 / MB to new imac 27

Hello,
I'd like to transfer Music, including playlists (currently on a PB G4) and Pictures, including slideshows, (on a MB) to a new imac. Both are backed up to the same Time Capsule.
I have an additional copy of the pictures (dragged to an external HD from Finder> Pictures> iphoto library> Show Package Contents> originals.
The PB and MB both run OS X 10.5.
There seems to be a number of methods, each with their benefits, but I would like to maintain the music and pictures in precisely the same format.
What method would you recommend, and will I be able to sync ipods previously sync'd with the PB to the new imac once the data is transferred?
Many thanks,
Andrew.

Andrew:
Please do post back if you have further questions.
I have found that it works better for me to open two Finder windows and position them one above the other. The top window I use as the Source from which I am moving stuff, the lower window is the Destination. I navigate to the location on the source and then to the Destination and simply drag the file or files.

    I cannot import my music and photos from my computer to my new iphone 5.

    Perform a backup to iTunes from the old device and then a restore to the new device, use ITunes to do this.  BTW, always sync photos to a computer to store them safely (use iPhoto on a mac or to a designated folder on a PC).  Never trust an iOS device to keep photos without having them synced to a computer.

    my old computer is broken, so how do i get my music and photos from my iPod onto iTunes on my new computer. It says it can only be synced to 1. but my old 1 is broken.

    See this older post from another forum member Zevoneer covering the different methods and software available to assist you with the task of copying content from your iPod back to your PC and into iTunes.

    Keep in mind that the recovered photos will not be in their full resolution, but instead will be the scaled down versions that were optimized in size and resolution to fit your iPod's smaller LCD screen.

  • HT4796 I completed a migration of my music and photos from a PC to my new mac.  I have an error in music library that it can't find original files.  Photos migrated fine.  Where did the original files go?

    I completed the migration of my music an dphotos files from a PC to my new imac.  Both transferred initally and I even synced my ipad with the imac thereby transferring most of the music to my ipad.  However now itunes says the music isn't available because it can't find the original music files.  How can i find the original files? I am getting the same error on my pc too.

    They aren't in your user Music folder? Have You tried Spotlight?

  • HT1329 Is there any way to get music and photos from a mac formatted iPod classic to a windows computer if you do not have a mac computer?

  • Upgrade from MacBook to Pro....How do I transfer the data, Info, Music and Photos from my MacBook to a new Pro please??

    Hi all......as the title suggests, I'm looking to upgrade to the 2011 MacBook Pro.
    I currently have a 2008 MacBook and I would like to transfer all the info (Pics, Music, Apps etc) from the MacBook to the Pro - How do I do this please? Should I take it to a store to be done?
    Also, I would like to "gift" my MacBook to a friend once I have the Pro - can I clear the MacBook and give it to my friend as a blank (but retaining the OS)??
    Thanks in advance for any help or suggestions offered.
    Cheers.

  • I syced Itunes music and photos to my Ipad. Have replaced PC with new Imac, but cannot sync music and photos from Ipad to Imac(previous sync) Is there a way around this without loosing items on Ipad

    Is it possible to copy music and photos from the Ipad to the Imac without syncing

    With content purchased/downloaded from the iTunes store only.
    You need to transfer your iTunes library and your photos from your PC to your Mac along with all other important data from your PC that you will want or need to access on your Mac - no different when switching from one computer to another under any circumstances.

  • I have a new iMac - how do file share my music and photos from my old mac to my new mac?

    I want to transfer my music and photos from one Mac to another - but I don't want to transfer anything else - what is the best way to do this?
    Thanks

    the simplest way would be to connect the two Macs with a firewire cable, boot the source Mac in Target Disk Mode, and copy the entire iTunes folder (not just the iTunes music folder) from /users//music on the source to /users//music on the target (overwriting the iTunes folder in place there).
    do the same with your iPhoto library. see this support article for more information (except, you won't have to option-launch iPhoto)

  • Any way to restore music and photos if iPod when all erased due to interrupted sync?

    is there any way to restore music and photos on iPod when all erased due to interrupted sync?

    You said the music and photos were all erased from the iPod? And now you say your computer and all backups are gone. There is therefore no way to recover your files short of paying thousands of dollars to a professional data recovery laboratory and even then there's no guarantee you'll get all of it – or even some of it – back.

  • How do I delete music and photos from my iCloud account? I've read below that you can't. Really? Is that correct?

    How do I delete music and photos from my iCloud account? I've read that you can't. Really? Is that true?

    You can delete photo stream photos from iCloud by just deleting them on your iPod.  My photo stream photos are automatically deleted from iCloud after 30 days anyway.  Just so you are aware, deleting photo stream photos doesn't free up any space in your account as they don't use your personal iCloud account storage.
    You can't delete music from iCloud because the music isn't stored in your account; it's stored in the iTunes store.  What you are seeing are links to your previously purchased music in the iTuens store, allowing you to redownload them if you want to.  You can't remove anything from your list of previous purchases.  If you don't want to see these "iTunes in the Cloud" purchases in your song list, go to Settings>iTunes & App Store and turn off Music under Show All.  LIke photo stream photos, this music doesn't use any of your personal iCloud account storage.

    Try doing it without a cable!
    Use AirDrop, described here:

I tried backing up my phone and restoring my ipad from my phone. Didn't work. It setup successfully but nothing transfered over. iCloud only gave me my contacts and calendar. HELP!

  • How do I transfer music and photos from my iPhone 4s to my iPad

    HHow do I transfer music and photos from my iPhone 4s to my ipad

    You cannot directly transfer anything from an iPhone to an iPad. If your iPad is signed onto the same Apple ID as your iPhone in Settings>iTunes & App Store, then it has access to the same Music library as your phone. Click on the More tab in the iTunes App on your iPad, and then on Purchased, Not on this iPad to see all of the music available to download to the iPad. You can also set the "Automatic Downloads" option to ON in Settings>iTunes & App Store and going forward, any music you purchase on the iPhone or via iTunes on a computer will automatically download to your iPad. Set the same setting on the iPhone to have it do the same.
    As for photos. If both the iPhone and iPad are signed onto the same iCloud ID in Settings>iCloud, then turn on Photo Stream on both the iPad and iPhone to share Photo Stream photos between the two devices. Photos on your Camera Roll that are no longer on Photo Stream, or photos in other Photo Albums would have to be sync'd to the iPad via iTunes on the computer you sync with (assuming you have imported your photos to that computer).

  • My mac book pro crashed and lost all my data.  Can I re-install my music and photos from my ipad?  how do I do that

    Can I reinstall music and photos from my ipad

    Hi Stephen,
    You'd need to use a 3rd party program to remove the content off your iPad, iTunes is only designed to sync purchased content off the iPad (content that was purchased on the iPad). There are several 3rd party offerings, a popular one is called Senuti.
