  • How do i get my itunes of my old pc to my new mac mini?

    hi, i just got a mac mini to replace a pc...how do i transfer my itunes, itunes u ect to my new mac? thanks

    The easiest way is to transfer the whole iTunes library using an external drive. Just follow these steps > http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1751
    You have to do the "Restoring your iTunes Library backup" step on your Mac mini. After restoring your iTunes library, open iTunes and you will see that your iTunes files are exactly the same as on the PC

  • How do I get my iTunes library off old PC & on my new Mac

    Brand new Mac user--this is my second day. Have had an iPod Nano for about 8 months and want to move my iTunes Library to the new Mac and de-authorize (is that the right word?) the iTunes library on old PC once I pull everything off of it--it's going to be wiped and given to a charity!
    The songs on the iTunes library and the songs on iPod not all the same--there is only a subset of songs from the library on the iPod. Suggestions?

    You basically just have to transfer the iTunes folder from the PC to the Mac.
    Apple has some instruction for using your iPod as an external disk drive:
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1329?viewlocale=en_US
    Or you can use file sharing if the Mac and PC are both connected to a network.
    There are also several sites on the web that have instructions for migrating, such as this one:
    http://www.tunequest.org/migrating-your-itunes-library-from-windows-to-mac/20061 105/
    And you should de-authorize the PC by choosing Deauthorize Computer from the Store menu.

  • How do I get my itunes from my old PC to my new Mac?

    I just switched from a PC to a Mac. When I plugged in my iphone my itunes account did not come up. How can I fix that?

    Consider moving everything from your Windows PC to your Mac in a single move, including your iTunes library: About Windows Migration Assistant - http://support.apple.com/kb/ht4796 - Learn about how to use Windows Migration Assistant to migrate your files from a Windows PC to a Mac.
    Quick answer for just iTunes if you use iTunes' default preferences settings:  Copy the entire iTunes folder (and in doing so all its subfolders and files) intact to the other drive.  Open iTunes and immediately hold down the option (alt) key (shift on Windows) so you get a prompt to select a library, then guide it to the 'iTunes Library.itl' file in the moved iTunes folder.
    If you put the copied iTunes folder in the default location of Macintosh HD > Users > *User Name* > Music  then you don't even need to start with the option key held down, iTunes will automatically look for it there.  (Make sure there isn't anything already in the iTunes folder there that you want to keep since you will be replacing it with the one you are moving.)

  • How to I get my play counts off my iPod onto my new mac?

    I have all the music in my iTunes but before I re-sync I'd like to get my play count file off my ipod and import it into iTunes?
    Anyone help me please?

    You should have copied the complete iTunes Library, including the iTunes Library.itl file, which, as far as I know, contains all the Play Counts from the existing (old) iTunes and pasted that into your new computer.
    Again, as far as I understand it, the total Play Count is not held on the Classic. If it was, it would not include plays within the iTunes Library. All the iPod does is remember how many plays since the last sync and tell iTunes to increase the Play Count by that number.

    What version of iTunes are you running on your computer? You need to update to the current version.

  • How to I transfer my Itunes on my Iphone 3gs to my new mac?

    How do i transfer my itunes on my Iphone 3gs to my new mac? My old laptop died so I am unable to access my itunes on my computer but would like to retrieve the songs I purchased previously.

    It has always been very basic to always maintain a backup copy of your computer for just such an occasion.
    Use your backup copy to put everything back.
    The music and pic sync is one way - computer to iphone.  The only exception is itunes purchases.
    If for some reason you have failed to maintain a backup ( not good), then you can transfer itunes purchases from your iphone.  Without syncing: File>Transfer Purchases.
    If you sync contacts and calendars to a blank computer, then they will be erased as well. Another reason a backup copy is critical.  If you enter one unique contact and calendar entry on your computer, then you should get the option to merge the data.

  • How can i sync my iTunes library from my iPhone with my new mac mini

    Recently my hard drive failed on my mac mini.  I had burned a bunch of CDs on the old mac mini and then sync'd it with my iphone.  Now the CDs are on my iphone but not on the new mac mini.  How can I sync my itunes library from my iphone to my new mac mini?

    The iphone is not a backup device.
    You need to copy everything from the backup copy of your computer computer to your new one.

  • I have a G4 Quicksilver that no longer works, but the hd may still be good. How can I get files off the G4 hd and onto my new iMac?

    I have a G4 Quicksilver 2001 that no longer works, but the hd may still be good. How can I get files off the G4 hd and onto my new late 2013 iMac?

    Also, how do I boot the G4 into FireWire Target Disk mode?
    First, the G4 must be able to start to use FWTDM. If it can start, hold the t key at boot until you get a "screensaver pattern" that looks like this:
    If the G4 is attached via a FireWire cable to a newer Mac with a FireWire port, the G4's hard drive will appear on the other Mac's desktop just as if it were any external drive. A USB cable won't work for FWTDM.
    Just wondering if the drive in my G4, which I believe may be an ATA drive will also work in an enclosure for a SATA drive?
    No. ATA (actually "PATA" or "IDE") and SATA are different interfaces. PATA external enclosures are now very hard to find. You best and least expensive option is the adaptor that BDAqua linked. One of its connectors is for PATA drives.

  • How do i get my already purchased "numbers" and 'Pages" onto my new iPad??

    how can i get my already purchased 'numbers' and 'pages' onto my new ipad?

    If you have already purchased the iOS versions of these applications, they will appear in your "Purchases" list in the app store. Register your iPad with the same Apple ID as was used for the purchase, and you will be able to download and install it on the iPad (and on any other iOS device registered under the same Apple ID).
    Wayne's response applies if your previous purchase was the Mac OS X version of Numbers and Pages.
