Exporting Library from XP to OS X

I recently purchased a macbook, and am just wondering if my Itunes settings (particularly podcasts and my playlists) will transfer. I keep my music folder on an external drive, and allow iTunes manage it automatically. I've been syncing my 30GB iPod video from a playlist of 4000 or so songs and I'd had hate to rebuild it from scratch.
Thanks

Thanks for your answer.
After looking thorugh the Apple site I found this:
http://www.apple.com/getamac/movetomac/ipod.html
gives details on how to transfer eveything you want from a PC to a MAC using a Ipod, this is what I used & it worked with no problems at all .

  • Problems exporting library from iPhoto

    Hi,
    I'm trying to export my iPhoto library but when i go to export to my external hard drive it gives me an error message and tells me it can't make volumes.... what do i do?
    I think there could be an error within my library.
    Any help is much appreciated!

    Welcome to the Apple Discussions. Check to see where you iPhoto Library is located. Make sure it's in the Pictures folder. Next, go to the Finder->Go->Go to folder menu option and put in /volumes. Check to see if there's an alias file to your external hard drive in there. If not you can try creating an alias file for your external HD and put it in there.
    As a workaround if you can't get it to export directly to the external HD you'll have to export to the Desktop and manually copy over to the external.
    TIP: For insurance against the iPhoto database corruption that many users have experienced I recommend making a backup copy of the Library6.iPhoto (iPhoto.Library for iPhoto 5 and earlier) database file and keep it current. If problems crop up where iPhoto suddenly can't see any photos or thinks there are no photos in the library, replacing the working Library6.iPhoto file with the backup will often get the library back. By keeping it current I mean backup after each import and/or any serious editing or work on books, slideshows, calendars, cards, etc. That insures that if a problem pops up and you do need to replace the database file, you'll retain all those efforts. It doesn't take long to make the backup and it's good insurance.
    I've created an Automator workflow application (requires Tiger or later), iPhoto dB File Backup, that will copy the selected Library6.iPhoto file from your iPhoto Library folder to the Pictures folder, replacing any previous version of it. It's compatible with iPhoto 6 and 7 libraries and Tiger and Leopard. iPhoto does not have to be closed to run the application, just idle. You can download it at Toad's Cellar. Be sure to read the Read Me pdf file.
    Note: There now an Automator backup application for iPhoto 5 that will work with Tiger or Leopard.

  • Exporting Library from 3.4 to use in 3.2.4

    Hello,
    I've made a big mistake in not backing up my Aperture library in Snow Leopard. I upgrade to Lion but a wasn't too happy with it. Along with lion I update Aperture as well. Now I'm back with SL and using Aperture 3.2.4 but I can't use the library since it was created with a newer version of Aperture.
    I still have lion on a different partion and I can also use Aperture 3.4. Is there a way to export my projects so I can use it in SL?
    Thanks in advance

    In my user library I see in the Application Support folder:
    Adjustment Chain Presets.plist
    Import Presets.plist
    Adjustment Preset Brushing
    Metadata Presets.plist
    AdjustmentPresets.plist
    MetadataSets.plist
    Book Themes
    Raw Decode Presets.plist
    Command Sets
    Slideshow Presets.plist
    Export Presets.plist
    WatermarkImages
    FileFolderPresets.plist
    Web Export Presets.plist
    FileNamingPresets.plist
    But most of these preset files will only be created, if you define presets of your own. so if you did not define and save a camera default for your camera's raw processing, there will not be such a file, and it cannot be causing troouble.

  • How do I transfer my checked songs from one computer to another - tried exporting library playlist etc but no luck! Please help! I have 26,000 songs - 17,000 are selected and I can't run down the list on my new computer and re-check 17,000 songs! Thanks!

    Make a smart playlist of your whole library but only checked songs - #4 on  http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1801
    Highlight all files in that playlist, then drag to the other drive.  This isn't preserving any playlists or whatever, just copying files from one drive to another.
    You might want to delete the smart playlist this once you are done because it will probably gobble up resources with that many files.

  • Exporting an Apeture library from one external hard drive to another

    Whilst on the road I use a PowerBook G4 and I have my Aperture Library on an portable external hard drive. When I get back to base I would like to export this library from the portable to my main hard drive. Is this possible and if so can anybody please advise?

    I just got back from a three week trip to Yellowstone and used my MacBook Pro and Aperture to process over 3000 images while on the road. Got home, got on my home network, exported the Yellowstone project from my laptop to a drive on my G5, shutdown Aperture on the laptop (can't run two copies of Aperture at the same time), fired up Aperture on the G5 and imported the processed project into my main library. Slick! Can't even come close to doing that in LR (yet). Saved me a ton of time in getting a lot of the editing done during down time on the road and the integration into the existing library was very straight-forward. Quick final edit, select some of the better images, smart web gallery and a very quick web output. One of the easiest trip outputs I have had in years.

    How do you export photos from your library to a flash drive?

    Assuming you're referring to iPhoto on your iMac export the photos to a folder on the Desktop via the File ➙ Export ➙ File Export menu option.  Then drag the folder of photos onto the flash drive.

  • Can I export music from my iTunes library to another application?

    I've been trying to figure out how to export music from my iTunes library to either Movie Maker or Roxio My DVD Creator. If I browse to my iTunes library, it doesn't show any music within the artist folders. I take it the only way I could use the music is to burn a CD and then open it using "my computer" and copying it to a folder on my PC and then browse to it from the other applications?

    I think AAC will get you a little better quality for
    the same file size of an Mp3. If I recall, iTunes
    saves the original file and makes a copy with the
    converted version. But to be safe, just make a backup
    copy of the original file
    And I take it that it makes no difference what format the file is in, it will still upload to the iPod and be playable there. I guess the default is set at AAC in iTunes and I never knew where/how to change it.
    Thanks so much for your help!

  • How do i import my library from an external hard drive. Exported it as had to wipe pc and reinstal windows but when i try to import nothing happens

    How do i import my library from an external hard drive. Had to export it as had to reinstal windows due to a conflict between windows and i-tunes. Wen i try to import nothing happens despite selecting the file. Can you import from an i-phone to i-tunes?

    What do you mean bye exported the library? 
    There is nothing to export or import.
    The correct process to backup the iTunes library would be to copy the ENTIRE iTunes folder from the computer to the external drive.

  • Exporting images from the Captivate 5 Library

    I am able to export Captivate 4 images to a folder. I am able to export Captivate 5 images to a folder, but they cannot be opened with Fireworks or any other application I've tried. Although the file is a bmp, Fireworks says, "Could not open the file. Unknown file type." Am I the only one experiencing this problem?
    thomas

    Yes. I can right-click and edit a background in Fireworks, but what I'm talking about here is different. Captivate has long offered the option to export images from the library. This has been, and still is easy. The difference is that it doesn't work. The exported files are not readable.
