How do i copy music from iTunes to usb?

how do i copy music from iTunes to a usb thumb drive?

If you drill down within the iTunes folder to the "iTunes Music" or "iTunes Media" folder you'll see that iTunes has the songs organised by artists. If you want a particular album, you'll have to know who the artist is. There's also a folder named "Various Artists" for complication albums. And as for me, I don't use a USB drive to back things up, I use an external hard drive, which can hold more data. If you don't have one, I recommend getting one.

  • How can I copy music from iTunes to a 2nd iPhone 5?

    I have my own iPhone 5 that i have synced and set up with my itunes on my macbook pro.  My wife recently got an iphone 5 (thru her work) that i want to copy music from my itunes library to her phone.  We share the same itunes acct and she is able to make purchases with it and download songs that i have purchased via itunes to her phone.  I would like to manage and copy over addiontal music (most of which i had bought on my own and imported into itunes) and copy playlists etc to her phone.
    She has not synced her phone to my (or any) computer. When i hook up her iphone to my macbook and open itunes, it prompts me to "set up new iphone" either as a brand new phone or from a backup.  can i get around this, so i can manage the music on her iphone without deleting and "setting up from scratch her phone"?  I have read that i can manually manage everything on her phone separately from my phone... so her apps aren't on my phone and vice versa?  I really just want to put my music on there.
    I have heard of some other apps (ie songbird) but prefer to keep everything working under itunes.
    Thanks

    Not brand new... New to that Mac's iTunes. For registration if you will...
    Setup the iPhone as a new device to get past the initial part. iTunes will know that the device is already set up and you can go from there.

  • Copy music from iTunes to USB Memory Stick

    I am doing what I am supposed to do:
    I highlight the songs I want to copy in iTunes.
    I drag them to a fold in the USB Memory stick.
    Every once in a while I get this error:
    The item “name of song.mp3” can’t be replaced because it’s invisible.
    I am dragging 100 songs at a time.  This happens about 1/3 of the time.  I then delete this "invisible" file.  Sometimes, when I go back to the iTunes song, I can drag it from iTunes to the momory stick.  Other times, I have to go to the file and drag it to the memory stick.
    I have a 32 GB USB memory stick that I am loading up to play in my car radio.  Doing this 100 songs at a time is taking me days....
    I am on OS 10.6.8.   I do have the OS setup so that I can see the invisible files.
    It looks like, when I drag the music in, grayed out icons appear until the files copy.  Sometimes those icons apparently appear as invisible files.
    The USB is formatted as MS-DOS (FAT) which is the way it arrived.  I suspect that these memory sticks have to be formatted that way for the radio to read the files, but I have not tried the Mac format.

    After you copy the files to the flash drive...
    Open Terminal (in Applications/Utilities)
    Enter: dot_clean
    spacebar
    drag the flashdrive from the Desktop to the Termnal window
    press enter

    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:

    How do I transfer music from itunes on my mac to a flash drive?

    hi,
    it depends from the OS which is installed on your computer. At first you must access your Music folder which contains the iTunes folder:
    Windows 7:
    \username\My Music\iTunes.
    Windows XP:
    \Documents and Settings\username\My Documents\My Music\iTunes
    Mac OS X:
    ~/Music/iTunes/
    In this iTunes folders you can find a "iTunes Media" folder which contains your Music. This Music you can than copy on a flash drive

  • HT1473 How do you move music from itunes on a windows computer to an iPhone 5,  Music from my existing collection?

    How do you move music from itunes in a XP computer to an iPhone 5?

    You copy the content of your iTunes Library to the iPhone by connecting to the iPhone to your computer, using the USB lead that came wiht the phone, and allowing iTunes and the iPhone to Sync with one another.
    This will leave the content in your iTunes Library. An iPhone (or iPod) is not desinged to be the only location for your music (or other content). The idea is that the iPhone (or iPod) has a copy of the Library.

    You can copy iTunes purchased music from your phone to your computer's iTunes library via the File > Devices > Transfer Purchases menu option.
    To copy back non-iTunes music (e.g. music copied from CDs and synced to the phone) you will need a third-party program on your computer - there are some listed half-way down this page : Recover your iTunes library from your iPod or iOS device

    What have you tried, and do you receive an error message?
    In general, itunes has DRM (copy protection) so it will only work according to the license... and as far as I know, Apple's license does not allow use in a new product, only in the Apple player... new product being the video you want to create
