Can I move my library and ipod from a mac to pc?

Okay, I'm real slow when it comes to computers. I have an ipod and a personal library of about 200 cds, so I don't want to have to reload them. Currently my itunes resides on my husband's mac so my ipod is formatted for mac. I'd like to move everything to my new pc. Can this be done, and how can this be accomplished.
TIA

There are few ways to do it in order to work for your case.
1. Since your library is currently on a Mac computer, you can know format your iPod with a window pc, which will erase your iPod completely. Just connect your iPod with a computer and do a Restore.
2. After 1, then connect you iPod with your Mac and do a sync -> copy the music files back to your PC
3. Follow the instructions mentioned on the link above

How to move iTune library and iPod from old XP PC to new Vista PC

I am upgrading from an XP PC to a new Vista PC and would like to know where I can find instructions on what I should do to transfer my iTunes library and my iPod to the new computer. Thanks for any help.

I purchased Copy/Tran and, as you described, it was awesome in transferring all 2538 songs to the new computer.
The only problem remaining is that even though it transferred all songs including the 83 that I had purchased from iTunes, when I synced my iPod with the new computer's iTune library, I got a message saying it could not put the purchased songs on the iPod because they were "not authorized".
Any suggestions on what to do about that?

My daughter's itunes library is on a computer that now has a broken usb. can she view her library and download from my computer? is so, how?

my daughter's itunes library is on a computer that now has a broken usb port. can she view her library and download from my computer? is so, how?

If you set up Home Sharing and are on the same network you can share your library. However you must be using the same itunes account. Another option (if you are trying to download to a device) would be to sync over Wi-Fi. I hhope this helps a bit. If you let me know what you are trying to accomplish I may be able to give a better answer

Is there any way I can "Move" Pages, Numbers, and Keynote from my Mac to my iPad?

I just got an iPad, and I plan to sell my Mac... So my question is, can i move products I paid for from my Mac to my iPad? The only ones I want to move are Pages, Numbers and Keynote. If there is a way, please let me know.
Thanks,
-Eduardo A. Varela

Applications for your Mac are coded for the operating system on the Mac which is OS X.
Applications for the iPad must be coded for the operating system on the iPad which is iOS.
Hence the applications for the Mac will not work on the iPad.

Can I move an ongoing imovie project from my mac to another mac?

I would like to move my ongoing imovie project from one mac to another and then continue working with the project. Is this possible? If it is, how do I do?

You will need an external hard drive that is formatted as Mac OS Extended (Journaled).
Then you will move the Project to the external hard drive from within iMovie.
See here for instructions. http://help.apple.com/imovie/#move7d66613
Then you will use the File/Consoldate Media command to move everything else.
See here for instructions. http://help.apple.com/imovie/#mov3ac6c7c9
You can edit on the new Mac from the external drive, but if you prefer, you can move everything to the new Mac by using the same instructions above.

I'm running Final Cut Express 2. How can I move entire project and application from one internal hard drive to another? Ran out of space on one drive. Thanks.

I'm running Final Cut Express 2. My video project is 95% done and I've run out of space on my 500g internal hard drive. How can I (1) move the complete FCE program and video to my unused 250g internal hard drive and operate it from there and (2) how do I then purge all the FCE info from the 500g drive without losing anything from the 250 drive?
Also, is it possible to change the aspect ratio from 4:3 to 16:9 when the project is finished? If so, how? I now know this all should have been done before I started. Thanks for the help.

1. You can't move the application. It must remain on the system drive. Move your capture scratch folder to the external FireWire drive and use the reconnect function in the project.
2. What's the media 16:9 or 4:3?

Can i move an unfinished imovie project from one mac to another

so i started a project in imovie on my parents mac and now i want to finish it off on my macbook. is there anyway I can transfer the project????

Yup. however, seeing as how it isn't finalized, well this ought to work.
1-connect up your macbook to your parents' mac (file sharing?)
2-open up iMovie (on your parents' mac)
3-click on "project library" in the upper right hand corner of your iMovie window. You should see your other hard drive there, also. drag your project to this drive. If a message comes up about "project" or "project and events", choose project and events
4-launch iMovie (on your macbook) click on Project Library. and the one your transferred should be there. drag it to the iMovie projects list and it should work
oh, one last thing. Both your parents' mac and your macbook should have the same version of iMovie for this to work, so I've been told

Can't move iTunes Library and Music?

I have my iTunes Library on an external hard drive, and am trying to move it to my Mac's Music folder so that I can sync with iCloud and other devices. I have copied all the Music files over successfully, and redirected iTunes towards the new location under Preferences/Advanced/Media Folder Location. Music files are where they should be as I can see. iTunes playlists all working... BUT, when I disconnect the external hard drive, iTunes can't locate the music file. It must be "pointing" back to the hard drive. Any clues as to how to break this link without losing music files or having to recreate playlists?

Hi Cunnla,
Thanks for the advice. I did just that and then tried to eject the external HD but got an error message ("The disk couldn’t be ejected because “iTunes” is using it. Quit that application and try to eject the disk again"), even though the music folder is Home Folder > Music > iTunes (no the HD version). I quit iTunes, ejected the HD, restarted iTunes and got a further error message ("The song could not be used because the original file could not be found. Would you like to locate it?"). I guess iTunes would like me to relocate manually 2000 songs? Yikes! Any further thoughts?
Thanks in advance,

Can I move all data and programs from Tungsten C to a Pre?

I love my Tungsten C and I want to get a Pre as soon as it hits Verizon. Will I be able to move all my data and programs easily over to the Pre? (I know I have to get the Classic app to run old Palm programs.) I can synch to either a Vista or XP computer. I don't synch email or with Outlook contacts.
Thanks so much. I hope I posted in the right subforum.
-Miss Bert
Post relates to: Tungsten C

Hello Miss Bert and welcome to the Palm forums.
As you know, the Pre and Palm webOS are all new offerings from Palm. You are correct in that you will need MotionApps Classic to run your old Palm OS 5 application on the Pre. What you should know is that Classic does not sync to Palm Desktop/Outlook. When you get your Pre, regardless of what carrier it is on, you will be breaking the ties with Palm Desktop and the HotSync Manager.
There are a few options for migrating your data from the Tungsten C to the Pre. To learn about those options, check out Palm's Pre Migration web page.

Can I move PARTIAL library and music files to a 2nd authorized computer?

On my main desktop computer I have a vast library of music in iTunes. I've created a separate "smart" playlist that includes only my 4- and 5-star rated songs. I want to move these and ONLY these to my laptop, and not the entire library. Is there a way to do this?

Sure. What kind of a setup do you have? Are both PCs on the same network with file sharing turned on? Or do you have an external hard drive or thumb drive everything will fit on?
All you need to do is open that playlist, go to the itunes menu > edit > select all.
Click your mouse on the highlighted bundle and drag it over to whatever folder you want to drop it in - either the network share of a laptop folder, or the storage device. Then add them to itunes once they are on the laptop's hard drive.
You could also use Home Sharing, if the laptop and desktop are set up on your home network.

Can i migrate my files and programs from one mac book to another

I have 2 macbook pros 13.3 april 2010 release
one has a 250gb drive and the other 500gb
both are running lion - after upgrading from snow leopard
I have al my adobe creative suite and mac office on the machine with 250gb hard drive - i want to transfer all my files and applications including adobe and mac office to the 500gb machine - can this be done via migration assistant? are there things i need to check etc before doing this
i am assuming the 250gb will be empty afterwards- i am not expecting to have 2 copies of the files and applications
Thanks for taking a look at my question

You can do that through Migration Assistant without any problem. See > http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4889
There are different ways to connect both Macs in order to transfer the files. As both computers have got FireWire, I recommend you to buy a FireWire cable, connect it to both computers and run Migration Assistant. Doing this, the transfer will be faster and much reliable than with Ethernet or Wi-Fi. Also, check > http://pondini.org/OSX/MigrateLion.html

Can you move a software raid 1 from one mac to another

I have a 2 disc software raid 1 on my powermac and I want to move it to my mac pro. Does anyone know if I can do this?

It appears that in Mac OS X 10.4, and again in the transition to 10.7, RAID format may have undergone dramatic changes. If you are trying to move a RAID array across those boundaries, you may not have the best results moving the drives directly.
