How do I copy music files in Apple Lossless format on to a flash drive so I can play on a digital media player.

I have an iMac 21", running on OS X Yosemite 10.10.2, processor is 2.7GHz Intel Core i%, Memory 8GB 1333MHz.
I would like to copy some of my iTunes music in Apple Lossless or AIFF to a flash drive which I would like to insert into a digital media player in my home Hi Fi system. How do I copy the files in these formats. Thank you.

Drag the song files there, either from the iTunes application window or the iTunes Media folder in the Finder.

  • How do I copy music files from an iPod 5thGen to a new iTunes installation?

    My old WinXP computer crashed & burned (literally). I installed iTunes (11.2.2.3) on my new Win7 PC. How do I copy all my music from my 5th Gen iPod into the new iTunes? My music collection contains only MP4 files ripped from my CD collection--nothing purchased from the iTunes Store. I located a folder named Apple on one of my old flash drives which contains a subfolder named iTunes Music. That folder contains subfolders for each of my original CDs with MP4s for all the tracks. Could I use those files to restore my music to iTunes?

    If is a MicroSD card you'll need a MicroSD to SD card adapter. Something like this.
    Once you have one of those just insert it into the SD card slot on your Mac then open a Finder window and select all the images and press Command + c to copy then go to the folder you want to put them in and select it and press Command + v to paste to that folder.

  • How to use copied music files on a new computer under iTunes

    I have copied my music files to a new computer and put them into the iTunes Music folder. How do I get the iTunes application on the new computer to recognize the music files (list of previously downloaded music CDs) so that I can now play them on this computer.
    Thanks in anticipation.
    Ray

    I have now determined the problem. I have just had to rebuild my system and had not loaded the audio drivers so it would not play music. So your original answer was all that was needed (had the audio drivers been installed).
    Many thanks for your help.

  • How do you copy music one at a time without syncing to a usb drive or from phone to itunes?

    How do you only copy a few songs I dont get it! Please help!!

    Syncing it's one way street, computer iTunes to iPhone (except content bought from the iTunes & App Stores).
    To sync muisc from computer iTunes to iPhone:
    1> Connect and select iPhone in computer iTunes left sidebar
    2> Select the Music tab, and select all the songs you want to sync to iPhone (As many or as few, you don't have to load all 30 GB of music)
    3> Click the Sync button.
    If the music on iPhone is not from/on your computer iTunes, you need a 3rd party software to upload it to the computer.

  • HT1386 How do I copy music from an old iPod?  Why do you have to make things so difficult?  These are my files that I paid for but once I put them on your devices, I no longer have control over them.  I've wasted so much time on these stupid problems.

    How do I copy music from an old iPod?  Why do you have to make things so difficult?  These are my files that I paid for but once I put them on your devices, I no longer have control over them.  I've wasted so much time on these stupid problems.  I used to be able to do this until you "improved" things.

    Thanks, Deggie. I thought Apple would see my feedback.  I would just like to know if there is a simple way to copy just a few music files from an old iPod.  I saw instructions on how to copy all of them from the iPod but it was complicated and I really didn't want to copy all the songs.  I guess I could delete all the songs but the ones I want to copy then go through that process again.  Do you know how to back up music to my computer?  I don't want to have to go through this again and possibly lose music.

  • How do i copy my files from my external hard drive onto my imac

    how do i copy my files from my external hard drive onto my imac

    You should be able to 'migrate them' without having to do so during a reinstall, from an external drive. In some cases, you may be able to use TimeMachine software even if the drive had not been used as a backup.
    The usual way, though, is to drag & drop copy from one to another (volume or folder) you created in there and have open. Or drag an item on top of the icon of a hard disk drive when it is mounted on the desktop. I'm used to working with open folders and windows, because that works best; and then see if I want to change how things look inside their destination. This helps should I later want to burn them to a DVD and have it correct. And I want to know where they are.
    I had more links to some information about importing or migrating data into a Mac from an external, a week ago, but can't find them now. A few good links to pages, but I think I posted what I did find directly to answer someones question about it; and believe the info was in an Apple Support article about TimeMachine, near the lower part of the page with blue words with a disclosure triangle, so you could read more in that page. But I don't believe these two are correct in that TimeMachine (some versions) only allow wireless backup to a drive in a base station unit such as Apple sells, for this. The link I saw simply said how to work around not using the wireless stuff. Maybe it was a dated item, not in these?
    See a main general portal to TimeMachine support,
    here: http://www.apple.com/support/timemachine/
    Or basics that may not provide optional copy methods:
    Mac Basics - Time Machine backs up your mac:
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1427
    Perhaps a search of Apple Support database (or even ASC discussions?) would yield ideas, and perhaps find what may work for the kind of files you want to copy, and where they can be found & used later. Are the files for specific applications? Or images, music, etc?
    Good luck & happy computing!

  • How do i copy music from one ipod to another with 1 cord?

    how do i copy music from one ipod to another with 1 cord?

    You cannot copy content directly from one iPod to another. If the music was purchased from the iTunes Store, you have the following options:
    - sync the iPod to your computer, transfer the content to iTunes, and then connect the other iPod and sync from iTunes
    - use iCloud (which requires iOS 5).
    - download the music from from the iTunes Store to the second iPod. See:

  • HT1689 How do I copy music from my iPhone to my iPad

    How do I copy music from my iPhone to my iPad (music that I downloaded from iTunes)

    You don't, directly. You can either sync your iPhone to iTunes on your computer and then sync the music to your iPad, or you can download the tracks again using your iPad.

  • How do I move music from one apple ID to another

    How do I move music from one apple ID to another?

    If you want to change your iCloud ID to another existing ID you'll have to delete the account, create a new account with the other ID, and migrate your data (including the calendar) to the new account.  To do this, first go to Settings>iCloud on your iPad and turn all data you are syncing with iCloud (contacts, calendars, etc.) to Off.  When prompted choose to keep the data on your iPad.  After everything is turned off, scroll to the bottom and tap Delete Account.  (Note, this will delete the account from your iPad but not from iCloud.  The account will remain in iCloud if anyone else chooses to remain signed into it an continue to use it.)  Next, set up the new iCloud account using your new ID, then turn syncing for your data (contacts, etc.) back to On.*  When prompted, choose Merge.  This will upload the data to your new account.
    * If you only want to upload the calendar, only turn Calendar to On; but I'm assuming you will be the owner and want this to be your iCloud account on your iPad with all your data, and then your can share the calendar with others and administrate it.

  • How do i copy contacts from one apple id to another?

    how do I copy contacts from one apple id to another?

    I assume you mean you want to copy them from one iCloud account/ID to another.  If they're synced with iCloud go to Settings>iCloud, turn Contacts to Off, when prompted choose to Keep on My [iDevice], then delete the iCloud account, sign into the other iCloud account, turn Contacts back to On and when prompted choose Merge.  Note: when you delete the account it only deletes the account from the device, not from iCloud.  If you then want to go back to your previous account, delete the iCloud account from your device, when prompted choose Delete From My [iDevice], sign back into your other account, turn your iCloud data syncing back to On, and when prompted, choose Merge.

  • I made an iPhoto book and the file is on my husband's macbook pro.  How do I copy that file so I can have it on my iMac?

    I recently made an iphoto book on my husbands macbook pro and want to move the file to my imac.  How do I copy the file and place it on my imac?  Thank you in advance.

    You can not. You can only move the entire library. Books do not exist seperate from the database. You can duplicate the library and delete very thing except the book to make it smaller
