Help please with New Computer Install

Guys,
I have searched for a similar topic but cant find anything to help that is exact.
I have all my Itunes songs on a external HDD and my Ipod is updated.
Now I bought a new PC, and want to link Itunes on the new PC with the songs on the ext HDD while still keeping all my playlists and ratings.
I read somewhere that you copy a file off of the old HDD, but there was a note saying you could do that if the Windows profile was the same.
On my old PC the user name was Kathy, on the new one it says Owner (kathy), I dont think thats exactly the same.
I have installed Itunes on the new PC but have not hooked up the ipod for fear of messing something up.
So what do I need to do
Thanks
K

    The locating samples is explained really clearly in the manual. It's pretty self explanatory also. Just make sure you have a
    Be sure to install the files on drive that is not your system drive (i.e., external, or 2nd internal). Also, I don't think OSX likes to copy huge amounts of files at the same time. I had some issues installing it. My 2nd internal drive unmounted around the 7th sounds install. That wasn't in the plan.
    Make sure to get the updates for the plug-in from the site (1.5.3).
    and the Sounds update as well.

  • Help please with new airport extreme

    hello,
    my mother is using comcast internet and she wanted to add a wireless router. all the had before i went and got her a ae was the comcast modem with a ethernet wire coming out of it and going right into her laptop. i then installed the software for the router and have it wired up witch was the easy part. now i have the solid green light on the ae and my laptop (macbook pro) and her dell laptop both say we have wireless signal but nether computer can connect to the internet. both computers have full signal and they are even placed next to the ae so its not a long distance problem. what might be wrong here. again the green light is steadly on and the airport says full signal and so does the dell laptop. please help

    On the MBP, open Airport Utility, select the Airport Extreme from the left and press the manual select button. Once the Summery screen appears check the last line. If the IP address begins with 169, select the Internet tab from the top of the Airport utility window, and make sure the Connect Using is set to Ethernet and the IPv4 setting is Using DHCP. If those are the settings unplug the power from the modem and make sure all the lights go out (if you have a digital phone package with the cable company the power light may stay on in which case you'll need to remove the batteries from the modem) let that sit for 2 min and then power back on. That should reset the cache of the modem and solve you problem.

  • Help please with new ext. H.D.

    Hi guys, i have an ext. H.D: where i want make two partition: one for winxp that i would lik to use to bootcamp windows from my mac (i´m selling my pc) and another for mac. I tried to follow istructons from this topic http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=1465626&tstart=45 but i cannot see Partition in Disk Utility. My HD had NTFS partition and if i want inizialize the disk from a mac without partition it will erase all the NTFS partition and i will not be able to make an image c opy of my windows hd before i sell the pc. Is there any solution to format the hd but in two partition from the mac?
    thanks!

    If you want to use a partition with Windows systems, Disk Utility only supports FAT32 formatting, no NTFS. There may be some third party utilities enabling MacOS X to format, read and write this proprietary Microsoft format.
    Once you have partitioned, formatted and installed the different O.S.'s to your liking, you can pick which one the Mac will boot from by pressing and holding the Option key just after the "bong" sound when rebooting. A screen will appear with an icon for each bootable volume detected by the bootloader; just pick the one you need. A HD may contain multiple bootable volumes.

  • Need help re-synching iPods with new computer and getting iTunes to...

    Need help re-synching iPods with new computer and getting iTunes to recognize our iPods (it doesn't even recognize them when they're plugged in).
    Hubby wiped my harddrive for me, so now I need to get everything back in proper places. I'm using windows XP and installed iTunes once again (I believe it's version 8). I also installed all of my iTunes songs. Now I need to know where to go from here. We have 3 iPods and I need to get them all synched once again. I know how to create different libraries for each of us, but I can't figure out how to get our songs back into our iTunes libraries. When I open iTunes and plug in an iPod, iTunes doesn't even show that an iPod is plugged in.
    What do I do now to get each of our iPods synched with our own libraries?
    TIA
    Brandy

    Thanks Zevoneer. The "Restart ipod service" worked and itunes is now recognizing my ipod! Hooray!
    Okay, now how do I synch all of our ipods with our individual libraries (I don't want all of my kids' songs and vice versa)? We each have hundreds of songs on our ipods that we don't want to lose.
    Thanks again!

  • Cannot sync ipad Air with new computer running windows 8

    With new computer (HP Envy 27) running with windows 8, I have the latest iTunes installed, and successfully transferred my itunes library (books, music, TV programs, podcasts etc) to the new computer.  I've tried multiple times to sync my iPad Air with no success.  Only the Podcasts and Apps have been synched.  No TV programs, and only a few music albums and books came across, despite the fact I selected the albums and books to synch individually.  Can anyone help please?

    Since you are able to sync some content and not all, I would first unsync (uncheck the box and hit apply) for a category (lets say books), then go back and re-sync (check the box again) and select just one item that did not sync before.  If it syncs then you know it's not the content.
    If it doesn't sync, then you will have to do a little more testing to see what it is, like trying to sync from a new library or new user.
    Also, verify in itunes what's on the iPad by showing the sidebar and clicking the arrow next to the iPad on that sidebar.  You can see what has made it onto the iPad.  If its on the iPad there, but not showing up in the proper place on the iPad's screen (like books in iBooks) then you will need to troubleshoot the device up to maybe even restoring it as new.

  • Help please with 2006 Macbook 13inch, for tv hook up.

    Help please with 2006 Macbook 13inch, to hook up to tv for streaming. The display works through VGA but the audio isn't working. Got a plug that goes into headphone jack on computer and connects into the audio jack on the back of tv but no sound. I'm not quite sure what the issue is, whether its the wrong plug, the tv, or the computer. Best Buy says this is the right plug and it seems that it would be, but who knows. If anyone has any experience in this, I would appreciate the help!

    Make sure those audio plugs are matched with the VGA plug. With your MacBook running something with audio switch between your sources on the TV Component, Composite and such. See if the sound is coming from another source. If so then you've got your audio plugs in the wrong jacks.
    Also could you post the make and model number of your TV.

  • EYETV LITE WILL NOT STARTUP WITH NEW MAVERICK INSTALL

    eye lite will not start up with new maverick installed untill you unpluge usb then reinstall.

    Well, I download the driver for Windows 8.1 64 bit, it appears to down load then says extracting and the bar goes along to 100% then nothing. There is no option to install the printer wirelessly, the printer does not appear in the devices and printers, the Scan Doctor tries to fix the problem and just says need to install the wireless facility by using the manual when I select the wireless option. As I said, I can plug in USB and use printer fine but what is the point of having wireless if it doesn't work? Printer worked fine when installed on Home Hub 2. Got a new lap top and still  no problems. Problems started when had to have new Home Hub as the broadband connection kept dropping out. BT sent HH3 as don't do HH2 any more. Realised that the printer was still holding the details of the old hub but couldn't find a way of changing this. Reset printer to factory wireless settings so not holding these now. Cannot use CD to load printer as doen't work with Windows 8.

  • Can anyone help me with how to install itunes on windows 8.  The apple techs suggestions did not work

    Can anyone help me with how to install itunes on windows 8.  The apple techs suggestions didn't work.  Spent most of today installing and uninstalling itunes according to their instructions.  They will charge me again if I call again.

    When I run the iTunes64setup.exe it says: "The thingy is not a valid win32 application."
    That generally indicates that the installer has been getting damaged on the download.
    What web browser have you been using for downloading the iTunes64Setup.exe? Does it make any difference if you use Firefox instead of IE for the download (or vice versa)?
