  • How Can I Back Up Itunes Library to CD/DVD with New Itunes

    I have the newest version of itunes 10.5.2 and theres no longer an option to backup to a cd or dvd. I need to move all of my apps,songs,videos, ect to a new computer. If i can not use a DVD anymore, whats the easiest way to move EVERYTHING, purchased and non purchased, to a different computer?
    Thanks so much for any help!

    Backup your library using this User Tip.
    Deauthorise the old computer if you won't be using it for iTunes.
    Restore the library into the music folder on the new computer.
    Install iTunes and sign in to your account.

  • How can I back up the iPhoto library when iPhoto won't open and I can't simply copy the iPhoto library packet because "some of the data in the packet cannot be read from or written to"?

    How can I back up the iPhoto library when iPhoto won't open and I can't simply copy the iPhoto library packet because "some of the data canny be read from or written to"?

    Regarding not being able to open iPhoto.  As a test  launch iPhoto with the Option key held down and create a new, test library. Were you able to create a new library?
    If so then your current library is damaged and needs to be repaired.
    Apply the two fixes below in order as needed:
    Fix #1
    Launch iPhoto with the Command+Option keys held down and rebuild the library.
    Since only one option can be run at a time start
    with Option #4 and then #1 as needed.
    Fix #2
    Using iPhoto Library Manager  to Rebuild Your iPhoto Library
    1 - download iPhoto Library Manager and launch.
    2 - click on the Add Library button, navigate to your Home/Pictures folder and select your iPhoto Library folder.
    3 - Now that the library is listed in the left hand pane of iPLM, click on your library and go to the File ➙ Rebuild Library menu option.
    4 - In the next  window name the new library and select the location you want it to be placed.
    5 - Click on the Create button.
    Note: This creates a new library based on the LIbraryData.xml file in the library and will recover Events, Albums, keywords, titles and comments.  However, books, calendars, cards and slideshows will be lost. The original library will be left untouched for further attempts at fixing the problem or in case the rebuilt library is not satisfactory.

  • How can i back up my iTunes library if i want to uninstall it?

    how can i back up my iTunes library if i want to uninstall it?

    Quit iTunes.
    Locate your external hard drive.
    Mac: On the Desktop or Finder sidebar.
    Windows: In My Computer
    Drag the iTunes folder (backed up earlier) from your external hard drive to whatever location you desire on your internal hard drive. It is recommended that you choose the default location for the iTunes folder, which is:
    Mac OS X: /Users/username/Music
    Windows XP: \Documents and Settings\username\My Documents\My Music\
    Windows Vista: \Users\username\My Music\
    Windows 7 or 8: \Users\username\Music\
    Open iTunes while holding down the Option key (Mac) or Shift key (Windows).
    In the resulting dialog, click the Choose Library button.
    Select the iTunes folder you just moved to the internal hard drive.
    Click Choose (Mac OS X) or Open (Windows) and then choose the iTunes Library file inside .
    After following these steps, iTunes will open and your iTunes Library will be restored.

    Not true at all.
    You only buy the right to your own personal use.
    You do NOT have the right to distribute to others.
    This is illegal.  There is no doubt about it

    Hey Russfromchicago,
    Thanks for the question. After reviewing your post, it sounds like you want to move content from your iOS device to the computer. I would recommend that you read this article, it may be able to help you resolve or isolate the issue.
    If you purchased items from the iTunes Store and you've stored them on only your iOS device or iPod, you can transfer them to any computer that is authorized with your Apple ID.

  • How can I get my Aperture library back from the Photos application?

    As stated above, How can I get my Aperture library back from the Photos application?  I'm not a fan of Photos right now and haven't used iPhoto in years, so that wasn't a loss... I didn't realize when I gave Photo's access to my Aperture library, I was going to lose it...
    I want to get it back, any suggestions?
    Thanks again!

  • I just downgraded from iTunes 11 back to itunes 10.7.5. My iTunes is now working from one of the Previous Music Librabies. How can I make that previous library my current library? Also, I can't empty iTunes 11 frome the trash. Why not?

    I just downgraded from iTunes 11 back to itunes 10.7.5. My iTunes is now working from one of the Previous Music Librabies. How can I make that previous library my current library? Also, I can't empty iTunes 11 frome the trash. It tells me iTunes 11 is still open. What's going on?
    Thanks in advance!

    Without providing details on exactly what you did it is hard to provide an answer.  It's like me saying, "This chocolate cake I made tastes wrong," but not providing the recipe for review.  Maybe it was the garlic in that particular recipe.
    If iTunes is successfully using a previous library which you rename to iTunes Library.itl then that is now the current library.
    Have you restarted your computer and then tried emptying the trash?

    backup all your data to an external hard drive.  If your mac's hard drive crashes, anything not backed up to an external hard drive will most likely be lost.
