Can i move my songs onto memory stick and then back after work on computer is finished

can i move itunes library onto a memory stick while work is being done on computer and then return them after, thanks

Sure... you can backup your data to a memory stick, a USB drive, a NAS, or any other backup source you like.
But do not simply move the songs, grab the ENTIRE iTunes folder so that the iTunesLibrary.itl file is captured as well. Without that file, you essentially start over with playlist, playcounts, and library layout.

Can I download FF to a USB stick, and then install it on another computer that is NOT connected to the Internet?

I want to download FF at home where I have a broadband internet connection, then take the required data on a USB stick to a friend who uses an old computer (w2k OS) and only a 56 k modem and install FF on his computer. Is it possible?

That shouldn't be an issue. You could test it if you like by killing your internet connection and installing it locally.

How do I import an iPhoto Library (V.7.1.5) created on my old MacBook (10. 6.8) into my new Macbook pro (10.9.1) running iPhoto 9.5.1? I tried copying onto memory stick and moving to new mac, but new iPhoto doesn't recognise the library.

How do I import an iPhoto Library (V.7.1.5) created on my old MacBook (10. 6.8) into my new Macbook pro (10.9.1) running iPhoto 9.5.1? I tried copying onto memory stick and moving to new mac, but new iPhoto doesn't recognise the library.

So what exactly did you copy over? If it's a 12 gig iPhoto Library then it sounds like the files are there. Perhaps the copy went wrong along the way.
Option 1
Back Up and try rebuild the library: hold down the command and option (or alt) keys while launching iPhoto. Use the resulting dialogue to rebuild. Choose to Repair Database. If that doesn't help, then try again, this time using Rebuild Database.
If that fails:
Option 2
Download iPhoto Library Manager and use its rebuild function. (In early versions of Library Manager it's the File -> Rebuild command. In later versions it's under the Library menu.)
This will create an entirely new library. It will then copy (or try to) your photos and all the associated metadata and versions to this new Library, and arrange it as close as it can to what you had in the damaged Library. It does this based on information it finds in the iPhoto sharing mechanism - but that means that things not shared won't be there, so no slideshows, books or calendars, for instance - but it should get all your events, albums and keywords, faces and places back.
Because this process creates an entirely new library and leaves your old one untouched, it is non-destructive, and if you're not happy with the results you can simply return to your old one.

Can i take the songs on my iPhone and put it in a new computer?

Lost my hard drive and all songs. Have all the songs i need on my iPhone, can i take the songs on the iPhone and put in on a new pc?

iTunes includes an option to transfer content that was purchased from the iTunes Store from an iPod or iPhone, but this is for content that was purchased from the iTunes Store only.
Without syncing, at the iTunes menu bar go to File and select Transfer Purchases From - the name of your iPhone.
Any iTunes content transferred to your iPhone that was acquired elsewhere besides the iTunes Store will be lost.
This is why maintaining a backup is so important - including your iTunes library along with all your other important data stored on an external drive used for backup purposes only, or stored on some other media such as CD or DVD.
It isn't a matter of if, but when your hard drive has a partial or complete failure since none last forever - this can happen with a brand new hard drive.

On my ipod 5 I went onto my camera and my back camera worked then when I flipped to front it turns blurry. And when I go to apps such as Vine it doesnt even have the flipping camera button! please help

My ipod front camera goes blurry when i flip it from back camera to front camera! and when I go onto vine it doesnt even have the camera flipping icon!

Try:
- Reset the iOS device. Nothing will be lost
Reset iOS device: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
- Reset all settings
Go to Settings > General > Reset and tap Reset All Settings.
All your preferences and settings are reset. Information (such as contacts and calendars) and media (such as songs and videos) aren’t affected.
- Restore from backup. See:
iOS: Back up and restore your iOS device with iCloud or iTunes
- Restore to factory settings/new iOS device.
If still problem, make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store since it appears you have a hardware problem.

Can you save your itunes and songs onto an external hard drive so that incase your computer crashes you will still have all your music?

Can you save your itunes and songs onto an external hard drive so that incase your computer crashes you will still have all your music?

The procedures below are for "moving" your library but as long as you don't delete it from your internal drive you are basically backing up.
iTunes: How to move your music to a new computer [or another drive] - http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4527
Simple answer: Copy your whole iTunes folder to the external drive. For subsequent backups you might want to learn about cloning and using a tool that only does incremental backups of recently changed items rather than copying all your files each time.

I have videos saved on my memory stick and I-photo however i want to import them into I-movie how do i convert them?

I have videos saved on my memory stick and I-photo however i want to import them into I-movie how do i convert them?

Hi,
If you have the newest version of iPhoto and iMovie, you can access your iPhoto videos in iMovie directly.
On your iMovie, after creating a new project, on the bottom left hand corner, expand your Hard Drive (Macintosh HD), and then click on "iPhoto Videos."
You can use those clicps by dragging them right into your project on the upper left hand corner and use them.
However, if the videos you took on your camera are not supported by iPhoto, then you'll need some third-party software to help you convert them.

HT2729 i downloaded 3 songs to my pc and sync'd my ipod and the songs do not tranfer. is this related to not having the proper itunes version vs ios? I cannot get the songs to sync, but I can move other songs to different playlists and they sync fine...

Hi Dennis!
I have a couple of steps for you to try in order to get those songs transferred to your iPod touch. First, make sure all of your software is updated with the latest versions. If the songs were downloaded from iTunes, you will also want to delete the songs from your library and then download them again from the list of past purchases on your iTunes account. An article about doing that can be found here:
Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store
http://support.apple.com/kb/ht2519
If you try a sync after those two steps and are still seeing the issue, then I would like you to try syncing the iPod by setting it to manually manage. An article outlining more information on manually managing your iPod sync can be found here:
Managing content manually on iPhone, iPad, and iPod
http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1535
If you are still having issues after that, I have another article that can outline some other reasons why your songs may not transfer to your iPod, and it can be found here:

I have about 800 more songs on my nano than itunes, due to a crash. How can I get the songs onto itunes from the ipod, or at least get the new music ive gotten since the crash onto my ipod without deleting all the other songs when it syncs?

It has always been very basic to always maintain a backup copy of your computer for just such an occasion. Use your backup copy to put everything back.
If you have failed to bakup, then you can transfer itunes purchases from an ipod: File>Transfer Purchases

Can I move/copy songs from one itunes account to another itunes account on the same iMac?

Can I move/copy songs from one itunes account to another itunes account on the same iMac?

You move the song files to /Users/Shared/ and then into iTunes from the other Mac OS X user account.
If you want to change the iTunes Store account associated with them, you need to redownload them from that account.

Purchasing more Storage on iCloud will not increase the Storage Capacity of your iPad.

Can I move the songs from one apple account to another?

Can I move the songs I have form an old apple account to my new one?

So what is Apple's position on this? There must be a hundred thousand people with the need to split accounts when children move out, couple divorce, or otherwise need to split one account into another.

I can't get three songs onto my 2nd gen shuffle

I can't get 3 songs onto my 2nd generation Shuffle (bought 1 week ago). I can get anything else on with no trouble, just drag and drop, but these 3 songs I can't get on, I drag them over the "iPod" icon and they don't do anything, they just sit there and no little plus sign appears. Any other songs, the little plus sign appears and they get put on no problem.
These 3 songs are from a CD I bought and paid for. Every other song from CDs I own that I've tranferred to iTunes will go onto the Shuffle with no difficulty, but not these three.
To make matters worse, these 3 songs are from the only CD that actually mattered to me - it's a relaxation disk that was the whole reason I bought the shuffle in the first place. I had them on my old iPod that died last month and they went onto it no problem.
Why won't they transfer onto my shuffle?
I'm using Mac OS 10.4.9.

Bingo. Thank you! I encoded them in "Apple lossless" when I originally uploaded. Among other things, the files were huge - I'd never noticed. (It didn't matter on my big old 40 MB, now playing in the Choir Invisible...) - I just changed the settings to convert it to (some other format) when it uploaded to the Shuffle, and everything is now fine.
