How do I get a CD to stay on my hard drive?

Hi there curran100,
If you would like for information about importing CD's to iTunes, take a look at the articles below.

If this is not what you are trying to do, could you give me some more information on what you would like to copy to your hard drive?

    Bought new Mac Retina; how do I get CS 5 on it; bought external hard drive but get error msg 15?

    Hi there,
    I was able to format the Toshiba hard drive on my old Mac and copy the Adobe Suite onto it. I followed instructions to format the hard drive to the Retina Mac through Disk Utility, but I still can see the external drive on the new Mac.
    Any suggestions…?

  • How do you get ITunes to STOP automatically scanning my hard drives?

    How do you get ITunes to STOP automatically scanning my hard drives for files? I have a number of audio and video files located all over my computer. However, my music folder is located in one place. I only want ITunes to look there to ad music to my IPod? I don't want to add any videos to my IPod however, it automatically scans for this as well. Infact... I don't want ITunes to automatically scan for anything. Why is this doing this?

    You can configure iTunes to sync only a subset of your music. Create a playlist in iTunes of the music you want on the iPod, and change the iPod sync settings. More info is here.

  • How do I get itunes library to move to external hard drive automatically?

    I have a 250 GB Verbatim external hard drive. This hard drive has an existing itunes library from my PC. I figured out how to combine the two itunes libraries, (1 from PC and 1 from Macbook). I cannot figure out how to set up itunes to automatically save to external hard drive. In other words, I've gotten everything onto my Mac, but not onto the external, which is what I want. When I try to move the itunes folders to my Verbatim in Finder, it gives me the circle with the line through it. It will not let me move anything over to the Verbatim. Please help!

    On the copying issue, if the drive was used with a PC initially it is quite possible it is formatted to NTFS.  Macs can read NTFS drives but not write to them  You could try to use a utility such as NTFS-3G to enable read-write, or you could use Disk Utility to reformat the drive to FAT (probably FAT32) which can be read by both PCs and Macs. FAT has certain disadvantages too, such as not being repairable by Macs, and there is a limit on single file sizes (2GB or 4GB depending upon the FAT version).
    Once you get your whole iTunes folder (not just media) onto the external drive, start iTunes with the option key held down and  show it the new location.

  • How do I get back my files from an erased hard drive? (disk utility)

    Under the advice of another Mac user, I used the Disk Utility application to 'erase' and reformat my MacBook Pro to 'Mac OS Extended (Journaled)' so that I could copy files that were on my MB to my hard drive and it erased everything on my hard drive.
    I am now panicking. How do I get all my files, documents, videos and photos that were on my hard drive back? I saw that there was a 'restore' option iin Disk Utility but I have no idea what it is or how to use it... I reallly need some help!!!
    Is there any way I can get my files back?
    Thanks you

    It won't help, but here is an explanation:
    The Restore functions in Disk Utility (in Mac OS X 10.3 and later) let you create a clone of your disk. The system software can be replaced and therefore restored by a previously created disk image using this option. Normally, using disk images or Disk Utility's Restore functions will destroy data on a destination disk, by overwriting data from an original source disk.

  • How do I get my iTunes transfered to a new hard drive?

    I used iTunes on my C drive and stored the music on an external hard drive. My C drive crashed, but I am able to access all of the data. I also had iTunes on another computer I use and will now be my main computer. This "new" computer had its own music, a few of my favorite CD's, but I never synched an iPod to this system. I can still access the external drive that had the music. The only thing missing is the last album I downloaded from Amazon. (That music lives on the old C drive that crashed but is still accessible)
    I want to 1) consolidate the music from these two sources on the external drive; 2) have the new iTunes recognize the place where the music is 3) get my playlists back; 3) get everything in one place for my system to backup; 4) entertain any other suggestions regarding my iTunes setup and how best to avert this situation in the future.
    I have about 40G of music, pictures, and music videos. I don't want to leave any of the pieces out of my next iPod synch.

    Open itunes by pressing *and holding* the shift key. Choose the ITL from the old hard drive when prompted.
    Consolidate the library from the old hard drive onto the new PC. Make sure the copy files option is turned on in itunes preferences, so they get copied to the new PC. I assume you want that.
    Then get that updated ITL file from the old PC and put it on your new PC. DO the shift-start for iTunes again, but pick the ITL file on your new PC.
    You'll have to add the new PC's content back into the itunes library. You might want to turn copy files back off before doing that.

    From the Finder, go into the drive to the folder where you want to create the new folder and select New Folder from the File menu (cmd-shift-N).
    From Image Capture, select Other… from the Import To popup menu.
    In the File Save dialog, navigate to where you want the new folder, then click "New Folder" button.

  • How do I get all my music from new external hard drive into itunes????

    Just loaded all my music on my new external and need to put into itunes, how do I do that??

    There may be other ways but I think the easiest is to just reinstall iTunes. when you reinstall it gives you the option to search for all music, just make sure the external is pluged to the PC and on when u do it. An other thing is with your music on a external, anytime u turn it off or unplug it you will get abunch of ! beside all the songs in iTunes until u turn it on and plug it back in

  • How to I get Time Machine backups OFF my external hard drive?!?!?

    I'm not asking how I restore a backup.
    I plugged in my 250GB external to try out TM. Before TM did it's first backup I have 160GB free. After TM did its backup I have 1GB free. I no longer want to use TM and have told it to "Stop Backing Up" in Sys Prefs. The problem is that I still only have 1GB of space left. When I view the external in the finder I only see my 90GB of drag and drop backups, but it says the disk only has 1GB of free space. Are the Time Machine backups invisible? How do I reclaim my space back?
    Thanks!

    Looking at info, I found the folder was owned by root. Even with my admin privileges, I couldn't delete. I then found that root wasn't activated on that machine, so I had to do more dancing around.
    In cases like this, you should be able to delete it from the command line by using sudo: sudo rm -rf directory (be careful with this command)
    After deleting the TM backup folder, the drive still indicated that the former lost space was still lost. I eventually reformatted.
    How did you delete it? Could it be that the folder was still in the Trash of the external disk?

  • How do I get other computers to recognize my external hard drive? Steps?

    So I have a 500 gb iomega portable HD and it works fine when I plug it into my MacBook Pro and recognizes it right away on the desktop but when I went to plug it into my friends PowerBook or another's PC it never showed up as being recognized. It's not in the macs HD or the pcs "my comp". The blue light on the HD always came on.
    I have a feeling I have to do something like formatting it or whatever, but I need like step-by-step instructions of what I need to do.
    Thanks for any help!

    No, sorry I don't know what OS she's using, though, I know she never updates, so I'm sure it's pretty old.
    Also, um. Well it has a USB plug, but it also has 2 other plugs I can use (not USB, but for the other ports on the comp). What is firewire?

  • How do I get my iTunes to reference an external hard drive folder?

    I don't want to put all of my music on my laptop. I would like iTunes to reference my external hard drive iTunes folder for my music rather than the default folder on my computer. I have tried to change the iTunes Media folder to my "iTunes - External," but when I then re-open my iTunes, there is no music there. Help?

    The only work around I have ever figured out for this problem is to create a new library with a different name and then add the music folder on your external HD to iTunes, Depending on the size this may take a while but it has worked for me. Good luck!

  • How can I get my MacBook to recognize my external hard drive again?

    Hi,
    I own a 500GB Toshiba external hard drive, and I've been using it for months now, and up until today it's worked flawlessly. I never formatted it, I just used it as a mass storage device so that I wouldn't have compatibility issues with PC's because of the formatting. For some unknown reason, today the hard drive decided it didn't want to work; I can't see it in the Finder. However, I tried it on a PC today and it's just fine there. I've never disconnected it without ejecting it first or anything else that I can think of that might damage the drive. I'm at a total loss, though admittedly I'm a novice, so maybe there's something I'm overlooking here. What can I do to fix this problem?
    Another thing: I just upgraded from 10.5.7 to 10.5.8... could that cause issues?
    Thanks! If this is a topic that's already been discussed, please link me to the thread or article.

    Does it appear in Disk Utility? (located in utilities folder of applications)
    If so is it mountable from there?
    And just to check- you are using the same connection (USB or firewire) to connect the PCs and the Mac?

  • How do I get Time Machine to backup an external Hard Drive to Time Capsule?

    Just purchased 3TB Time Capsule.  I have a 250GB ext hard drive where iTunes library and iMovie files are stored.  The external HD is connected to my iMac The iMac's 250GB is at 50% capacity with iPhotos so i cannot move iTunes/iMovie library back to the iMac.  I would like Time Machine to back up both the iMac HD and the contents of the 250GB external HD.  Thank you.

    To reformat the drive, move the data on it to another location, including a second partition of the drive or the Time Capsule manually, open the Disk Utility in the /Applications/Utilities/ folder to erase it, and move the files back.
