TS2972 can I use home sharing to transfer iTunes from old computer to new computer?

can I use home sharing to transfer iTunes from old computer to new computer?

You are trying to use home sharing, you are logged into the same account for sharing on both computers (and they are connected to the same wifi network), and what happens when you try to copy your library ? Can you update your iTunes so that they are the same on both ?

Can I use my new iphone 5 with the old iHome iD9SVC Speaker System if I get an apadter? or should i just buy new speaker system made specifically for the iphone5

can I use my new iphone 5 with my old iHome iD9SVC speaker system if I get an adapter? or should i just buy a new speaker system made specifically for the iphone 5?

Look iTunes>Preferences>Devices...is a backup listed for your iPhone 5 dated BEFORE you restored your iPhone 4 backup to your iPhone 5? If not, your data is gone. If there is a backup, on your iPhone 5: Settings>General>Reset>Erase All Content & Settings. You should now be able to restore that backup, if it exists, to your iPhone 5.

If they are the grey discs which came with the iMac, then they will be machine specific and will not work on the MBP anyway. You will need to purchase a retail copy of Snow Leopard from the Apple Store for about $29 and upgrade from that. I presume your MBP is Intel and not G4.
Good Luck

Can I use my iphone 4g microsim with my old iphone 3g interchangably?

can I use my iphone 4g microsim with my old iphone 3g interchangably using a microsim adapter? PLEASE CONFIRM IF YOU KNOW THANKS

There is no such thing as an iPhone 4G. The model is iPhone 4 as in 4th generation in the line of iPhones. As for using a SIM adapter or cutting a SIM card to fit in one of Apple's iPhones it would void the warranty with Apple. Apple doesn't support SIM card adapters and especially don't warranty users cutting SIM cards to fit a MicroSIM card slot.

How can i make more room on my 6-year old MacBook Pro?

How can I make more room on my 6-year old MacBook Pro? I already have an external hard drive.

Two options:
Delete files from your Home folder you no longer use or need (but do not delete anything from the /Home/Library/ folder.)
Buy and install a larger hard drive. You can find suitable drives at OWC. You would need a 2.5" notebook drive that is SATA II or SATA I compatible - 1.5 or 3.0 Gb/s.

I have an 8 year old eMac G3. It will not start up. I need to erase it before putting it in recycling. Apple refuses to open the case and warns me that I will be shocked if I even try. They say no way to erase hard drive. They say use a hammer. Any ideas?

Hi, no eMacs had G3s, only G4s. Is it maybe an iMac G3?
If you don't know the model, find the Serial# & use it on one of these sites, but don't post the Serial# here...

I'm trying to purchase Guy Sebastian's (Australia) albums, but I keep getting a link "view in iTunes" which doesn't respond. How can I purchase music that's a few years old?

I'm trying to purchase Guy Sebastian's (Australia) albums:
"Beautiful Life"
"Closer To The Sun"
"Just As I Am"
"Twenty Ten"
, but I keep getting a link "view in iTunes" which doesn't respond so I can purchase the items thru iTunes.
How can I purchase music that's a few years old?

Guy's older albums have been on other countries' Itunes in the past. I don't know why they come and go. Guy keeps promising to spend more time overseas, releasing and promoting his music. I'm sure they'll all become available again then. You could import CDs, of course, but that becomes expensive. Online, Sanity and JBHiFi in Australia will mail overseas.

HT1338 Can I use iLife '09 on Mountain Lion 10.8.3?

I currently have Mac version 10.4.11 but it's not new enough to use iLife '09, if I upgrade my computer to Mountain Lion 10.8.3, will the iLife '09 be compatible with the Mountain Lion 10.8.3?

Welcome to Apple Support Communities
iLife '09 is compatible with Mac OS X Leopard or later, so you can install iLife '09 if you upgrade to Mountain Lion. However, note that not all computers with Tiger are compatible with OS X Mountain Lion. Read > http://www.apple.com/osx/specs
If you can't upgrade to Mountain Lion, upgrade to Snow Leopard > http://store.apple.com/us/product/MC573/mac-os-x-106-snow-leopard Make a backup before upgrading. After upgrading, open  > Software Update, and install 10.6.8.
Note that Snow Leopard is compatible with iLife '11, so if you want, you can install a newer version. You can get iLife '11 for Mac OS X Snow Leopard at Amazon or eBay

Can I use my new iMac to control an old G4?

Before I purchased a new iMac G5, I was able to control two Macs using one monitor, one mouse and one keybord. To switch between the two Macs I used an USB KVM Belkin switch.
Can I do the same now that my monitor is the iMac monitor? Can I configure the iMac so I can access (turn on and off, etc.) my old G4 from it?
Any help, advise on the matter will be greatly appreciated.

Can I do the same now that my monitor is the iMac monitor?
No. You can use the switch to switch the mouse and keyboard but not the iMac G5's monitor.
Can I configure the iMac so I can access (turn on and off, etc.) my old G4 from it?
No
You could install Share My Desktop (VNC server) on your old G4. Then use Chicken of the VNC (VNC client) on your iMac G5 to monitor and control the old G4. However you can not start the old G4 using this interface.

HT3819 Can I use Home Sharing to permanently Transfer my old iTunes Library to a new macbook pro?

Hi,
I have a quick questoin regarding iTunes Home Sharing.
1. Can I use Home Sharing to transfer music from my iTunes Library on my old Power Mac to iTunes on my new MacBook Pro?
2. If I deauthorise iTunes on my old Power Mac will I lose my music on my new iTunes Library on my Macbook Pro - essentially are the two somehow linked together? I want to erase my old HD, wipe it clean, chuck it in a case and use as a back up storage, and then sell my old Power Mac.
Thanks in advance.

Home Sharing is only for PCs that are connected in the same network

How can I use the Time Machine Backups from my Old Computer?

I have two months of Time Machine backups made using my old Macintosh computer which died and I no longer have. I have now purchased a new computer and am trying to use the Time Machine back ups from the original computer, but it will not recognise them. How can I get my new MacBook Pro to use the Time Machine Backups from my old Computer? I phoned the Apple help line and they said I cannot use them and would have to delete them. This sounds crazy if you can only use the Time Machine back up file with one computer and have to delete it when you buy a new Mac. Surely there must be some way to transfer ownership (not files) from an old to the new Mac?
Thanks
Richard

Thanks Kevin for the suggestion posted on MacOSXHints how to "Repair Time Machine after logic board changes".
http://www.macosxhints.com/article.php?story=20080128003716101
It seems as though I am not alone with my frustration with the way Time Machine uses the MAC address of a computer to tell one system from another. This means that if you have your Mac repaired with a new logic board, or replace your system with a new one, you can't resume backups where you left off. Reading through the readers who used the fix using Terminal, it appears that the fix does not always work. I contacted Apple again, but they were no help. Surely Apple should come out with a solution as more and more people use Time Machine/Time Capsule.
It is CRAZY that after a change computers or a switch in the computer logic board that you cannot resume your Time Machine back ups.

Can I use TM to copy my iTunes from old Mac to new Mac ?

I just bought a MB Air and I have 30 GB of music on my MB Pro. Can I use the TM backup from the MBP to transfer the data to my MB Air ?
Unfortunately Migration Assistant doesnt allow you to be too specific regarding files etc.
Thanks

phil_a wrote:
Yes I understood that from your first post. I thought I was missing something in Migration that would allow me to specify the files to transfer.
No, it doesn't.
Where does the plist file go and whats it for ?
it goes to the same place on the new computer as it was on the old one. It's the preference file for itunes. with it once you copy your itunes folder and start itunes, itunes will look exactly as it did on the old computer.

Can't open Photo and Imaging gallery - 6 year old 1350 printer, running XP

Model 1350C printer running on XP without problems for 6 years. Today Photo & Imaging Gallery won't open. Error Message "Program encountered an unexpected error. the type initializer for HP.CUE. Gallery Image Manager Keyword threw an exception." Have no idea what this means, or what to do. Any ideas. Printer works great, but I can't use the scanning functions

Should I try doing that before I try the Archive and Install?
Running DU from the HD will not allow you to repair the HD, but it will allow you to Verify the HD to tell if you need to boot from the Install disk to actually Repair it.
Should you need/want to do it from the Install Disk...
"Try Disk Utility
1. Insert the Mac OS X Install disc that came with your computer, then restart the computer while holding the C key.
2. When your computer finishes starting up from the disc, choose Disk Utility from the Installer menu. (In Mac OS X 10.4 or later, you must select your language first.)
Important: Do not click Continue in the first screen of the Installer. If you do, you must restart from the disc again to access Disk Utility.
3. Click the First Aid tab.
4. Click the disclosure triangle to the left of the hard drive icon to display the names of your hard disk volumes and partitions.
5. Select your Mac OS X volume.
6. Click Repair. Disk Utility checks and repairs the disk."

Also, if I try Archive and Install, will it delete all of my personal files, too, or will these be carried over?
If you use A&I and choose the Preserve Users & Settings, it should just replace the OS' files and leave all yours intact. About the only way it could fail is Power Failure during it, (make sure Laptops have AC power during A&I or Repairs, , updates, etc.), Bad Disk/Directory info to start with, or flaky RAM or some such odd thing.

How can I wipe out all my info on an old emac

I have an old emac i want to wipe out the info on it so I can donate it

With an install CD, you boot from the CD by holding down the C key at startup. Then go to "drive setup" and format the drive, choosing the option to zero data once.
