How is the memory stick formatted? If it's NTFS then you cannot write to a NTFS device and the stick will need to be re-formatted using Disk Utility.

HT3775 cannot open movie on memory stick

how do i open movie on memory stick on my macbook

I wiped my iphone as there was an issue with the audio.
Decided not long after to wipe my laptop also.
I downloaded my purchases back onto my laptop. Tried to sync, and got the same error.
Deleted the purchases from my iphone. Went into Itunes on the iphone and downloaded a purchase right on the iphone. Same problem.
Any solution for that? It is happening with more than one movie. In particular, The fast & the furious, the fast and the furious: tokyo drift.
Some movies work, like Fast & Furious (the fourth installment).
I have unlimited bandwidth so I don't care how many ways or times I have to try to get this to work again on my iphone, but please there needs to be a solution.

Copying photos to memory stick

How do I copy pictures from my MacBook Pro to a memory stick?

Hi
you can go to export in the file menu but the fastest way is to simply drag and drop them from iPhoto to the finder or directly to the new mounted unit (your memory stick) which will appear in the finder and as a new icon in the desktop.
my prefered way, click on the picture start to move it press F3 (expose), move to where you want to drop it, so the new unit which should appear as a new icon in your desktop, press space and drop it.

Track order changed when copying playlist to memory stick!

Help!! Everytime I try to copy a playlist to a memory stick by highlighting and dragging the track order gets completely jumbled and it's driving me nuts!!! How do I prevent this from happening??!! Thank you for any responses to this question!

You cannot.
The playlist is sorted on any column in iTunes or by simply dragging the songs up/down as you want.
When you view the songs on the memory stick in Windows Exploder, it sorts by the column you are sorting on (filename is default).
You would need to add a track number of the playlist order to the filename to keep them in order.

Error message when trying to copy files from memory stick to MacBookPro

Trying to copy files from my memory stick to my MacBookPro and have started to get a crazy error message - "Attempting to copy to the disk Macintosh HD failed. You do not have enough access privileges for this operation."
I've never had a problem before today. Any help will be welcomed!

Try this. When the stick is mounted on your desktop, right click "Get Info" and at the bottom choose "ignore ownership on this drive." See if that works.

How do i copy a photo from iPhoto to a memory stick

Can someone help me with this qwestion?

You can not "copy" to a memory stick - you select the photo(s) in iPhoto and export (file menu ==> export - see this user tip for details on export options) to a desktop folder and then drag that folder to the mounted, unlocked memory stick

How can I transfer a podcast to memory stick?

I have several Podcasts in iTunes that I would like to keep ( I need to move them I am very short of memory) They are too 'big' to burn to disc, so I would like to put them onto a memory stick/flash drive. I have tried drag and drop, but that does not work!
Any ideas?

I use an older iTunes version and I can move podcasts about as files. It may be you are having problems copying to the memory stick. I find I cannot drag from iTunes to a sub-folder on a FAT formatted drive, I have to copy it to the top level of the drive, then move it to a sub-folder, or do it all in Finder.

Burn music to memory stick

CCan music from my iTunes library be burned/copied to a memory stick/ memory card

On the basis that a picture's worth a thousand words ... arrange your screen so that you can see iTunes and Windows Explorer at the same time.
in iTunes, show the songs that you want to copy
in Windows Explorer, open the thumb drive / memory card that you want to copy to.
Then:
In iTunes, select all the songs that you want to copy. In this example, its everything in a playlist so Ctrl-A on the keyboard will select everything in the playlist.
Hold down the left mouse button and move the pointer to the open Windows Explorer window
Release the mouse button - the songs will now copy
so that you end up with this:
You can do the same thing without having both iTunes and Windows Explorer visible on screen at the same time:
In iTunes, and with the songs selected as before, press Ctrl-A on the keyboard or click the right-hand button on the mouse and select Copy
Switch to Windows Explorer, again with the thumb drive / memory card open
Press Ctrl-V on the keyboard or right-click with the mouse and select Paste

Export from itunes onto memory stick

I have been trying to export my music in MP3 form from iTunes onto a memory stick for use in my car. I can't figure out how to do this. There is lots of information about transferring music to another Apple product, but not a memory stick. I'd appreciate any help.

If the songs are not already in MP3, create MP3 versions using the document 1550 that Niel references.
Insert the memory stick in your computer and open it so it looks like a folder. Then highlight the songs in iTunes and drag them to the folder. This will cause the songs to be copied to the memory stick.
If you happen to be running iTunes in full screen mode, make it smaller so that you can see the folder and you will know what you are doing.

How can I move an existing iTunes library from a Dell PC (which uses Windows Vista) to a MacBook Pro? I have tried to copy the library from the PC onto a memory stick but cannot move from the stick onto the MacBook Pro.

I have tried to copy my iTunes library from my old (2008) Dell PC to a 32 GB memory stick and then copy it from the stick to the iTunes library in the new MacBook Pro which I purchased recently from a reputable dealer which resells refurbished Macs, (lease returns, etc). The dealer was Computer Trends store in Saskatoon. They told me how to move my existing iTunes libary from the PC to the Mac but I cannot seem to achieve that objective. The Mac does not seem to recognize the memory stick. I thought the Mac would recognize that the memory stick held iTunes files and would then transfer them without prompting to its own iTunes libary. It did not do so. I have therefore tried to find the command sequence within iTunes (on the Mac) for moving the material from the memory stick to the iTunes library. Cannot find those commands. Does anybody know where to find such commands. I have to say, I am really disappointed that such a simple function would prove to be beyond my capabilities. I thought the Mac was supposed to be easier than a PC. !!! Oh well, I am hoping this forum will help !!!

iTunes: How to move [or copy] your music to a new computer [or another drive] - http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4527
Quick answer if you use iTunes default preferences settings: Copy the entire iTunes folder (and in doing so all its subfolders and files) intact to the other drive. Start iTunes with the option (shift on Windows) key held down and guide it to the new location of the library.
So, you can see your whole iTunes folder on the memory stick after copying from the PC?

How do I move a file from a memory stick to a an external drive using a mac (copy paste doesnt work)

How do I move a file from one memory stick to another using mac pro? copy paste doesnt work

Have you tried simply dragging the file from one stick to the other? Do you know the format of the memory sticks (Macs can't write to those formatted as NTFS without the use of third-party software)?

Hi, how do I copy a movie that I downloaded, onto my memory stick that is in my usb connection?

Hi there, how do I copy a movie that I downloaded onto my memory stick that is plugged into my usb connection?

Goto finder, you'll see your usb in there. Then open another finder window, locate the file, and just drag the movie onto your memory stick.
Really easy =)
@shldr2thewheel, it would have been far easier if you just answered the question. He didn't state the name of it, nor where he downloaded it from. Clearly your making an assumption that it was illegaly downloaded.

How do I move my photos from iPhoto to a memory stick

How do I move all of the photos in iPhoto to a memory stick. I want to keep them in a different physical location for safe-keeping.

Format the memory stick first.
This is our resident iPhoto guru, Terence Devlin's, advice, which should also apply here:
You can move your iPhoto Library to an external disk:
1. Quit iPhoto
2. Copy the iPhoto Library Folder as an entity from your Pictures Folder to the External Disk.
3. Hold down the option (or alt) key while launching iPhoto. From the resulting menu select 'Choose Library' and navigate to the new location. From that point on this will be the default location of your library.
4. Test the library and when you're sure all is well, trash the one on your internal HD to free up space.

Why can't I copy a file to memory stick

Why can't I copy a MP4 file to my memory stick? I keep being told theres no room ... but there is room.
The memory stick has a capacity for 16 GB. But the Get Info command tells me 1.3 GB are being used. But Ive erased the memory stick and dont understand how there could be any files still on it ... unless "erase" doesnt erase them all and some "invisible files" are still there somehow.
Ive formated it using the MSDOS Fat 32 format.
When I try to copy a 5 GB MP4 file I get a message that says:
"the item cant be copied because it is too large for the memory stick's format."
Im at my wits end. There should be plenty of room opn the stick ... but apparently theres not. Is this something to do with partitioning?
Many thanks ...

MSDOS FAT32 has 4GB file size limit.
exFAT is the format you need.

How do I move files to memory stick using Vista

Can anyone throw any light on my new problem .
I am using Windows Vista Home on my Toshiba Satellite 350 and I am trying to save a file to memory stick.
I locate the correct file and click on ' send to removable disc '
I then get an 'Item not found ''box which contains the message ,
''Could not find this item This item is no longer located in C:\Users\Desktop.
I ( Or wherever am looking) Verify the items location and try again''
I have checked the location and I have the correct one .
I have tried this many times with different types of files/locations and I get a similar message every time I try to move the file to anywhere , not just the memory stick
I have tried dragging the files in to the box and get the same message ,copying and pasting does not work I still get the same message ?
Whatever am I doing wrong ?

Thank you for the reply

''Could not find this item This item is no longer located in C:\Users\Desktop. I ( Or wherever am looking) Verify the items location and try again''
