  • How can I copy my iTunes from my old pc to my new MacBook?

    Hi!
    Just a quick question; I have just picked up my new MacBook & wish to copy my iTunes library over from my old pc (a 8 month old Dell with Windows Vista). Is there a simple way to do this?
    Ideally I would like to keep the iTunes library on the old pc as well because my wife will be still using the old pc. Is this possible?
    Many thanks
    Marc

  • How do I copy a file from a PC to a MAC with Airport Express?

    I read that it should be possible to share and copy files between computers connected via an Airport Express wireless network in the Airport Express Technical Specification.
    I have my PC connected to the Airport via an adapter and it happily shares Internet connection and Printers with my MAC (G5) wirelessly. I have the PC connected via the 'Access Point' option in the Netgear Adapter (rather than Computer to Computer Ad hoc - which i tried but doesn't seem to work).
    I found the excellent : http://www.efelix.co.uk/tech/3001.html which details how to set up sharing and I have followed this successfully to the point where I get to the point where I should connect to the PC (from the MAC " Finder | Go | Connect to Server...") specifying its TCP address (in my case 'smb:10.0.0.3') but it times out with an error message stating that 'Finder could not find the specified resource" or something similar.
    My question is - is this possible using Airport Express, and what steps are needed to set this up? Is Access point the issue perhaps?

    Both the PC and the Mac are wireless clients of the
    Airport Express (AX)?
    Yes, both Mac and PC are wirless Clients of AX
    Can you provide more information on your network
    topology. Is the AX connected to the internet?
    Yes, AX is connected to the internet (a wireless ISP called unwired.com.au)
    Is the Airport Express using 10.0.0.x addressing
    rather than the default of 10.0.1.x
    Sorry, you are correct: AX is using 10.0.1.x and is itself 10.0.1.1, PC is 10.0.1.3
    Note it should be smb://10.0.0.3 and not
    smb:10.0.0.3
    I suspect it should be smb://10.0.1.3
    You are correct - thanks~!!! It works fine now - I am really impressed with
    a) the fact this works
    b) your spot-on advise iFelix! THanks!
    I am curious to know though, given the Mac and PC are clients of the AX, is there anything I need to do explictly to ensure the Firewall of the AX is turned on now that I am sharing and exposing files and directories on these machines and have to have client firewalls turned off? I was using Sygate on the PC as my software firewall but found no matter what Adapter related software i 'allowed' in the firewall, it would no longer access the internet.

  • How can I copy mp3 files from my Itunes library to an SD card for use in a non-apple phone?

    How can I copy mp3 files from my Itunes library to an SD card for use in a non-apple phone?  I can physically copy the tunes as mp3's but the phone does not seem to be able to play all of them.   Do I need to copy an entire album or can I just pick & choose individual songs?   The phone is question is an LG running who knows what for an operating system.

    AAC is Advanced Audio Coding.  Basically it's a format that sounds better than MP3 but doesn't take up as much space as a lossless format (like you'd have on a CD).  More than likely you've had that encoding turned on when you ripped your music into itunes (it's the default encoder).  Therefore your LG phone won't play them.
    You need to turn off the AAC format by going to the iTunes menu, Preferences, General (at the top), then clicking the "Import Preferences" button.  Change the AAC Encoder to MP3 Encoder.  After that you'll have to make MP3 copies of your songs by right clicking them and selecting "Create MP3 Version."  You'll get a copy of the song that should transfer to your SD card and have MP3 encoding.  Hopefully your phone will play that.
