  • How can I download songs from my PC to my new Mac?

    I am having trouble transfering the songs from my PC to my Mac. I was told that I can use iCloud but I'm not sure how to do that. Can someone please help me?

    Hi bkokomoor!
    I have a couple of articles here that will provide you with some options for moving your music from your old PC to your new Mac. The first outlines a couple of different methods for getting your iTunes library onto your new computer, and can be found here:
    iTunes: How to move your music to a new computer
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ht4527
    As you hinted at earlier, you can also use the cloud to re-download all of your previously purchased items from the iTunes Store on your new Mac. An article about doing that can be found here:
    Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ht2519
    You can also choose to migrate a large swath of your data from your old PC to your new Mac, including your iTunes library, by using a program built into your Mac called Migration Assistant:

    Take care, enjoy your new Mac, and thanks for visiting the Apple Support Communities.

  • How can I move music from my iPod to my new computer if my computer can't SEE the music from the source?!?

    I have read through lots of suggestions for moving my music from my iPod to my new computer...but can not seem to overcome a very difficult hurdle:
    When I connect my very old iPod to my computer and click on the icon to open it, only 3 folders come up:  Calendars, Contacts and Notes.  I cannot "backup" anything useful here!
    When I open iTunes, the program can see my iPod, and lists the complete library...but I cannot KEEP it in my computer!  WHY?!?
    When I go to iTunes > File > Library, I do not get a "backup" option to use to backup my iPod music, either.
    HELP, please.  I have spent hours fiddling around trying to figure out how to do this, and am getting crankier and crankier.
    Thanks in advance...

  • HT4527 how can you move songs from your iphone 4 to a mac pro laptop??

    My Itunes decided to update itself without my consent and while it updated it erased my songs. I have an Iphone 4 and I want to put the songs inside my Itunes in my Mac Pro how can I do that?? not all the songs I have on my phone are bought.

    It has always been very basic to always maintain to always maintain a backup copy of your computer.  Use your backup copy to put everything back.
    The iphone is not a backup device.  The music sync is one way - computer to iphone,  The only exception is itunes purchases: File>Transfer Purchases

  • How do I move photoshop from old windows computer to new mac?

    I've been trying to move Adobe Photoshop Elements 10 from my old PC to my new mac. I understand that you have to de-authorize it on the PC and then re-download it on the mac, using the same license key, but when I re-download it it's the PC version, not the mac. How do I download the mac version?
    Thank you!

    You can't run Windows programs on OS X, only in Windows in a virtual machine in OS X or via BootCamp.
    Just download the Adobe program for OS X and ask about switching the license so it works on the OS X platform.
    It might be you have to upgrade to a later version anyway and pehaps they will give you a upgrade price instead of having to buy the full verison, talk to them.

  • HT1473 how can i put music from my ipod to my new computer when my old computer died?

    My old windows laptop died and can not get anything off it, I now have a new windows laptop and want to transfer the music from my iPod to my new laptop. How can I do this??

    If you are using iTunes version 7 or later, then you can transfer purchased iTunes store music from the iPod to an authorized computer by using the "file/transfer purchases from iPod" menu. Note that the maximum of 5 authorized computers applies here.
    For all other non purchased music (your own CDs etc) try this method which works on some Windows PCs.
    Enable your iPod for disk use.
    See: iPod Disk Use.
    Open iTunes and select edit/preferences/advanced/general. Put a check mark in the box marked "copy files to iTunes music folder when adding to library" and also "keep iTunes music folder organized", then click 'ok'.
    Connect the iPod whilst holding down the shift/ctrl keys to prevent any auto sync, and if you see the dialogue window asking if you want to sync to this itunes library, click 'no'.
    Then go to file/add folder, open 'my computer', select your iPod and click 'ok'.
    The music files should transfer to your iTunes.
    If this doesn't work (and it may not because officially it's not supposed to), check out the instructions/suggestions here.
    Music from iPod to computer (using option 2). This a manual method using "hidden folders" and although it works, it can be messy.
    Much easier ways are to use one of the many 3rd party programs that copy music from the iPod to the computer.
    One of the most recommended is Yamipod. This is a free program that transfers music and playlists etc from iPod back to the computer. However, it does not transfer playcounts/ratings etc.
    Another free program is Pod Player.

  • How do I transfer data from old hard drive to new mac exactly the same as it was on my old one?

    Unfortunately my 2009 iMac has been written off due to a faulty motherboard. Thankfully the company we got the mac from are providing me with a brand new one at no cost as I am under warranty. My old hard drive had many important documents and applications on it and we have requested for the old hard drive back. What I would like to know is how to I go about transferring all the stuff of my old hard drive to my new iMac? I would like everything to be set out exactly the same as it was on my old mac so basically I would like it cloned identical on my new mac from my old hard drive.
    Thanks Nathan

    In general, most people will recommend Carbon Copy Cloner or SuperDuper! You can find either one easily enough with a web search.
    However, in your case, I imagine you are going to have a hard disk returned to you all by itself, and you will need to install it in an enclosure. Don't let that bother you as this is easy to do and the enclosures are not expensive ($40 or so).
    Once that is done, I would recommend you set up your brand new Mac by answering all the questions during initial setup as usual. Be sure to use your correct Apple ID - probably the same one you used to log into this support forum. When you reach the point in which it asks you if you would like to transfer your old documents and settings, connect the old hard disk and select it as the source. It will take some time as it copies all its contents to your new Mac. All your familiar items will be exactly as they were on the failed Mac.
    After that, you can use the old hard disk as a Time Machine backup. When you are satisfied everything on your new Mac is running as it should, go ahead and erase the old disk. Then, tell Time Machine to designate it as a backup, and the rest is automatic.

  • How can i transfer songs from my iPhone 4s to new mac

    I recently got a new MacBook (My first one ) but the problem is my old PC crashed and I lost all of my songs that were on that computer. The only songs I have left are on my iPhone. Is there anyway I could simply transfer the songs on my iPhone to my new MacBook? of course, when I go to "sync" my phone to my new iTunes, which is my old account, it says that everything will be erased and what is in my new iTunes library (which is empty) will be transfered to my phone.
    Please help!!!! I am still learning this MacBook so please forgive my stupidity! Go Team Apple!

    Re-downloading all your purchased music (apps, ibooks, videos, everything) is easy if you purchased them from Apple. Assuming they are still available, you simply download them again: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2519
    Retrieving music that you copied from CD or other sources is not easy. Music is supposed to go from your computer to the iPhone, not the other way around. Moving its content to a computer is contrary to the design.
    I wish I had a dollar for everyone with a Windows PC who asked this question. Given their predilection for attracting viruses and other sordid malware, Windows PCs crash with disturbing regularity. Now that you made the wise decision to replace it with a MacBook, get an external backup disk (external hard disk drive, or Time Capsule) and simply use Time Machine. Plug it in and Time Machine does the rest. The drudgery of backing up your system becomes painless and totally forgettable, and recovering from a crash becomes a non-event.
    Here is some guidance retrieved from an old post. Since it is old, some of the links may not work:
    For everything else (music from CDs, other downloads etc) there are a number of third party utilities that you can use to retrieve the music files and playlists from your iPod. You'll find that they have varying degrees of functionality and some will transfer movies, videos, photos, podcasts and games as well. You can read reviews and comparisons of some of them here:
    iTunes & iPod software

    Comparison of iPod managers
    A selection of iPod to iTunes utilities:
    TuneJack Windows Only (iPhone and iPod Touch compatible)
    SharePod Windows Only (iPhone and iPod Touch compatible)

    There's also a manual method of copying songs from your iPod to a Mac or PC. The procedure is a bit involved and won't recover playlists but if you're interested it's available on page 2 at this link: Copying Content from your iPod to your Computer - The Definitive Guide

  • My iCloud mail is used in my old apple id, how can i move my old iCloud mail to my new apple id

    my iCloud mail is used in my old apple id, how can i move my old iCloud mail to my new apple id

    If the old ID is yours, and if it is an earlier version of your current ID, go to https://appleid.apple.com, click Manage my Apple ID and sign in with your current iCloud ID.  Click edit next to the primary email account, change it back to your old email address and save the change.  Then edit the name of the account to change it back to your old email address.  You can now use your current password to turn off Find My iDevice, even though it prompts you for the password for your old account ID. Then save any photo stream photos that you wish to keep to your camera roll.  When finished go to Settings>iCloud, tap Delete Account and choose Delete from My iDevice when prompted (your iCloud data will still be in iCloud).  Next, go back to https://appleid.apple.com and change your primary email address and iCloud ID name back to the way it was.  Now you can go to Settings>iCloud and sign in with your current iCloud ID and password.
