How can I import my old songs

I am trying to move my music from my old computer to my new one. I already tried transferring purchases on my ipod nano,  tried home sharing, tried importing playlists but the playlists only save as text or M3U files. I am missing almost 1000 songs this way

  • How can I import my old Appleworks spreadsheets into Neo Office or Pages

    I am a new MBP owner and have some spreadsheets in Appleworks from my old iMac. I don't have Appleworks on my new MBP. I have downloaded Neo Office and could use it to create a new spreadsheet but can't import my previously created ones. Must I retype then? Or...as an alternative, I have iWorks. Can I import them into Pages? How? Thanks for any help.

    The above suggestion didn't work for me. However, I did find this site that helped me--and it might help someone else:

    It worked for spreadsheet--now I have to try to convert a data base document in Appleworks.

  • How can i import my old website into iweb

    hi,
    my harddrive crashed and I lost all my data. When I set up OSX for new I downloaded my website (www.et-voila.net) from my ftp and I wanted to import to i-web. But I found no possibility do this.
    How can I work on my old (i-web made) Website with my new i-web (i-web '08)? There must be a possibility!!
    thanks for your help

    "iWeb stores everything in a Domain file, normally located in the ~/Library/Application Support/iWeb folder (although it can be moved). If you no longer have this file, you can view your currently published pages and manually recreate them within iWeb, but *there is no way to import published pages back into iWeb*. You can manually back up the Domain file, or use Backup to back it up."

  • I got a new macbook. How can I transfer my old songs on my iphone onto the new itunes

    I dont want my music deleted but I do want my new songs on my iphone. How can i do that?

    The iphone is not a backup/storage device.  It simply mirrors the selected content of your computer.
    You need to copy everything from your old computer to your new one.
    The music sync is one way - computer to iphone.  The only exception is itunes purchases: File>Transfer Purchases

  • HT1535 Ipod Nano linked to a non existant library.   How can I get my old songs to a new library?

    I have an old Nano that I have about 300 songs on.  I no longer have the PC with the library that this device was linked to.  I have a new iPhone 5 and opened a new iTunes library to purchase songs for the new phone.  How can I get the songs from the Nano to transfer to my new iTunes library that is syncd to my iPhone?

  • How can I import my old iPhoto library into my new version of iPhoto?

    Just purchased new iMac and am trying to import my old iPhoto library, but keep getting Unreadable Files message. I have the library file and see that it shows up as an iPhoto Library under the Kind column.

    Now that you're tried to open the correct library once see if you can perfor the following:  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 #3, followed by #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 transfer my old songs

    how can i get my music off my old computer and on my new one i dont know if it makes a difference but the old computer is xp and my new one is vista

    Choose Consolidate Library from the Advanced menu or the Library section of the File menu in iTunes, find the iTunes library location from the iTunes preferences, and move the folder to the new computer using any method necessary, such as an external drive, optical disks, or a network connection.

  • How can I move my old songs to my new itunes?

    When I open my iTunes store, a blank screen comes up with 'iTunes Store' and the top bar says 'Accessing iTunes Store' but it never loads and the internet connection is fine. Alot of discussions I've seen just say to reinstall iTunes but I don't know if I can have my old music on there. Can I just copy and paste the old songs into my new library?
    Thanks.

    Copy the entire /Music/iTunes/ folder from old computer to /Music/ on new computer.
    Launch iTunes.
    THhat is all you need to do.

  • I had an iTunes account on an old computer with over 300 songs and I now have a MacBook Pro and when i signed into iTunes all the songs I had before were gone. How can I get my old songs back?

    I had an iTunes account on an old computer with over 300 songs then when I updated my computer to the MacBook Pro it deleted all my songs when I signed into iTunes. Is there a way I can get those songs back?

    Did you put the songs on the new computer?
    You should copy everything from your old computer or your backup copy of your old computer to your new one.

  • How can I import an old iMovie from '09 to '11?

    PLEASE! I've been trying FOREVER to try to get this imovie project that I was working on to import to my new updates iMovie application because my school reimages our computers every year so I saved it to a harddrive but when I tried to open it, it just came up as a picture or it just doesnt open in iMovie or it wont let me select it when I go to file-import-movie!!!!!!!!!
    PLEASE I beg for a solution!!

    An iMovie Project needs the associated Event (or Events) to be workable. The Project file doesn't contain the actual video clips as such, but references (points to) the clips in the Events Library. So, if the two become separated, problems will arise with the links between them. Whenever moving or copying Events or Projects to another hard drive, this must be done from within iMovie, not from the Finder - otherwise links will be lost. iMovie Help provides comprehensive instructions on this.
    If you saved just the Project to the external hard drive, that may explain why it can no longer be opened by iMovie '11. Does your school keep a back-up of all the data before re-imaging? That may be the only way of restoring the Event, but I'm not sure how you would then go about re-connecting the Event with your Project. Usually the Event has to be placed back in the same location that the Project expects to find it - that's now problematic.
    Perhaps AppleMan1958 (the top participant here) can help, as he has a strong knowledge of this type of problem.
    Sorry I can't help further Ellie.

  • How can I download the old songs that I've lost from my iTunes Library?

    Good Morning everybody,
    I have a problem with iTunes Store.
    I've bought some songs 10/15 days ago but, right now, I've lost it from my iTunes Library due to total backup of my MacBook.
    There is any possibility to rescue my latest download from iTunes with pay once again those songs?
    If there is the possibility, what I have to do?
    Thank you so much.

    Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store - http://support.apple.com/kb/ht2519 - enabled with iTunes 10.3 and newer; not available in all countries; only apps, books (not audiobooks), music, and t.v. shows (not movies).
    If you're in a country that doesn't have this feature yet for music you can wait and hope they eventually have it, or you'll have to rely upon backups.
    I believe some people have successfully asked Apple to let them download a second time free but they do not have to allow it and they do not regard it as a substitute for maintaining a backup.

  • How can I import my iweb site into iweb on my new laptop?

    I recently got a new MacBook Pro and transferred my files over from my PBG4 12-inch (great little laptop). However my iWeb files/site didn't seem to transfer over to my laptop. I found the files of on my PBG4, and thought I placed them in the correct folder on my one.
    Every time I open iWeb it asks to start a new site. How can I import my old iweb site into it and continue with it? Is there a way of doing it? I've a read a few posts some talk about the file 'Domain' in the Home/Library/Application Support/iWeb folder.
    If I copy that file over to my new MacBook Pro, will my site be in iWeb again? I greatly appreciate some advice. Thanks.
    MacBook Pro   Mac OS X (10.4.8)  

    Isotopecrunch,
    Welcome to the iWeb forums!
    You are correct about referring to the Domain file; this is the file that contains all of your work created in iWeb, and the file that needs to be transferred to your new MacBook. There are some notes on how to do this here.
    Take the time also to make back up copies of this file, and keep them in a safe place.
