Help Transferring Playcounts To Laptop

I just recently purchased a laptop to take off to school with me. I am copying my entire My Music Folder which includes my iTunes folder as well as random music folders from when I used to use Windows Media Player and Musicmatch Jukebox to a portable USB hard drive. When I go on my laptop to File/Add Folder/My Music, I get all my music but none of the playcounts nor playlists have transferred. I have the XML file in the iTunes folder, but for the life of me can't figure out how to make this library on my laptop the same as what I have on my desktop. Any help would be much appreciated.

Help transferring songs from laptop to laptop

i just got a new laptop and i want to transfer all my songs from my other laptop. and when i plug in my ipod to my new computer it deletes them all. anyone know how i can switch all the songs?

"when i plug in my ipod to my new computer it deletes them all."
It appears that your iPod is set to update automatically and you keep pressing "Yes" when get a message that your iPod is linked to a different library and asking if you want to link to this one and replace all your songs etc. All you are doing is linking your iPod to the blank iTunes. You can't sync or drag your music back directly from an iPod to iTunes, the transfer of music is designed by default to be one way from iTunes to iPod. So first off, connect your iPod to the original laptop and let it put your songs back on, then change it to manual update: Managing Your Songs Manually
Keep your iPod in manual mode until you have reloaded your iTunes and you are happy with your playlists etc then it will be safe to return it auto-sync again.
Now there a re a few things you can do. One would be to connect your iPod to the new laptop (now that it's safe to do so) and copy the songs from it onto the hard drive There is a manual method of accessing the iPod's hard drive and copying songs but not playlists back to iTunes on Windows posted in this thread: MacMuse - iPod to iTunes
If you prefer something more automated then there are a number of third party utilities that you can use to retrieve the music files and playlists from your iPod, this is just a selection. Have a look at the web pages and documentation for these, they are generally quite straightforward.
iPod Access Mac and Windows Versions
YamiPod Mac and Windows Versions
PodUtil Mac and Windows Versions

PodPlayer Windows Only

Alternatively network the two computers and transfer your iTunes folder from one to another. This link may help you out:

Problem transferring video from laptop to Z1

Hello,
A couple of days ago i installed sony pc companion and media go. I transferred a video up to 2gb from my laptop to Z1 in about 5 minutes... Now there was a new update from Media Go i think 2.5..and everything is transferring very slow...transferring a video of 2gb takes more than one hour....please help...my laptop also makes allot noise when transferring...
I tried to delete sony pc companion and Media go...and just drag and drop into internal storage..but i get the same problem...it really takes long times to transfer..it shouldn't be like this....first everything went very smooth...

Did you get a dialog to convert the video first before copying? If yes, and you confirmed, encoding long videos could take ages on weak computer, so perhaps this is not an issue at all..
The problem with this conversion is that not all formats are readable by default Movies app in the phone, so it asks you to convert it before the transfer "on-the-fly". This takes some time (long if it is some full movie). But if you use another player, like MXVideo for example, you don't really need to convert it, and the transfer will then go very fast (just copying).
I thought it is the driver issue, because there is such problem too (Media Go acts more like a snail than a media manager, and it happens with PCC active simultaneously).
When everything have failed already, try to read the manual.

I need help transferring Bootcamp (Windows XP) from my old Macbook Pro to the new one. How do I make bootable clone of Bootcamp?

Hi I just got a new MacBook Pro I need help transferring Bootcamp (Windows XP) from my old Macbook Pro to my new Macbook Pro Mac OS X 10.7.4 2.6 Ghz Intel Core 17. How do I make bootable clone of Bootcamp?

you can't just move XP even if you took the hard drive and have Windows boot and function.
Apparently there are Windows tools to sanitize the OS and strip all the motherboard drivers and services.
Time to get a supported OS. Don't want to pay, then use 8 for the time until it goes on sale.
There are no drivers for even Vista on 2011 and later Macs.

New mac user needs help transfering files from Dell...

I have a Dell running Windows XP and need help transfering the files from the dell to the mac.
Also I have no idea what OP system I have, how do you tell which one you have???

Go to the blue Apple menu and scroll down to "About this Mac"
In the summary window that opens you will find the following information:
Mac OS X version (assuming you are running OS X)
Processor speed.
Memory
Startup disk
The More Info button will take you to an in-depth overview of hardware, network set-up and installed software.
As far as transference is concerned, you can either transfer files via CD, DVD, external hard drive... or by networking the two computers.
Here's a link for an overview concerning Mac to PC connectivity:

Need help transferring itunes library from old computer to new laptop

Hello,
I recently purchased a new laptop and am having trouble getting my library to transfer to my new laptop, i followed this step by step process http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1329?viewlocale=en_US and in the end ended up with no music on my ipod and no music in the itunes library on my new computer...
So then i went into Itunes on the new computer and clicked import library under File, so i found the Music folder that i had transferred over and it imported the music but all my playlist were not there, just songs. So i ended up syncing my ipod back to my old computer so i would get all the songs and playlist back on as it was originally before this whole process...
My desktop runs XP while my new laptop runs Vista Ultimate w/ SP1 home edition, dont know if this matters...
So not sure where i should go from here, i have already Authorized my laptop with the itunes store , i was thinking of uninstalling Itunes on my laptop and starting over from scratch, will this help?
BTW when i did the original transfer i used my Ipod as the hard drive as it had plenty of storage room left on it, i do have access to a 250GB external HD i was thinking of using that and trying that to transfer the library...
So if anyone can tell me how to transfer my Itunes library from old comp to new laptop it would be greatly appreciated...

The method you used should work if followed exactly.
The key points are - is your music all together? It must all be in the iTunes Music folder in the iTunes folder.
When you copy the iTunes folder to the iPod you get the library database with your playlists and the iTunes Music folder containing the music files.
Since you had trouble doing this with the iPod, why not try copying your iTunes folder to the external drive.
The method is identical the one for the iPod except you leave out the iPod specific stuff.
You install iTunes on the new PC, then you drag the newly created iTunes folder out the Music folder to the desktop, then you copy the iTunes folder from the EHD into Music, replacing the one you dragged out.
When you have done that, you need to check that your account has full control of your iTunes folder - Vista is fussy about that - you will not be able to edit track info if you don't have full control.

To sync on your new 32-bit desktop you will need to download the Vista-compatible Palm Desktop 6.2.
You will also need to install Documents To Go v.10 on the new desktop as well...should be fine with Vista. From what I've seen of Beyond Contacts, you will need to upgrade to 3.0083 to gain Vista support. I don't know if that's a paid upgrade or not.
If any of your other third-party apps also have a desktop component or install a conduit for synchronization, you'll need to check with each of them to verify compatibility with Vista and Palm Desktop 6.2.
When you connect to the new computer for the first time after you install Palm Desktop software, just select the TX's current Hotsync ID to sync with, and the data on the TX should automatically migrate into your new installation. But it's always best to be safe rather than sorry. Get a copy of NVBackup (google and download from any legit source such as www.palmgear.com ), and run a complete backup onto a SD card. That way, you'll be minutes away from a full Restore if anything does happen in the transition.
Lastly, if you plan to sync with your two computers, you will need to be careful and only use one of them for full 2-way synchronization, and use the other purely as a clone to hold a copy of the data on the handheld, using Handheld Overwrites Desktop conduit settings on that second computer. Otherwise data corruption is sure to result. This Palm Knowledgebase Article discusses how to Hotsync one device on two different desktops:

Need Help transfering data from phone to laptop

I have a 4G Samsung that I no longer use, but I still have pictures and music on it that I would like to transfer to my laptop. How can I do that? I bought a ONN Micro USB Sync and Charge Cable to do exactly that. Each time I plug it into the
phone and laptop, all it does is charge the phone. How do I transfer my pictures and music so I can get rid of the phone? Thank You very much for the help, if its at all possible. Or, if the cord I have won't work, can someone tell me what I need to
do to get my pictures & music off the phone? Model #SCH-I405
