How do I get old Library and new to sync to my Ipod shuffle

how do i sync new library and old library

Some music videos play the song on my schuffle but not all. Is there a converter that will allow the song portion of the video to play on the schuffle? If so, how do I manually do it. Since I do not know why some download and play and other movie song do not.

How do I get entire library onto new computer without old ipod (stolen) or old computer (died)? When I plugged in my new ipod 5th gen, it only synced purchases.

You restore the media to your new computer using the backup you made of your old computer before it died. You did backup your computer, right?

Re: iPhoto deleting photos from old library and new library

Hello. I really hope someone can help me. I'm about to tear my hair out. I recently copied my iPhoto library to an external hard drive because I'm seriously out of space on my 24"iMac (2008). I am a photographer and have a mess of an iPhoto library to clean up. It was a VERY large volume, and it ran overnight. It appears that everything transferred fine. I did the transfer exactly as instructed by many forums: Home > Pictures > iPhoto Library, drag and drop to WD My Book 1 TB EHD formatted Mac OS Extended (Journaled). Then I opened iPhoto via the icon in the dock while holding down the Option/Alt key and chose the new location on the ext drive to point iPhoto to the new library. My problem is this:   I went into the old library, which I renamed iPhoto Library - Old (after the fact, which I hope didn't cause the problem), and deleted an event that I didn't care about. To my surprise, it deleted the event in BOTH libraries. I have tried repeatedly to point iPhoto to the right library, both using the dock and going through applications. It is as though the 2 libraries are somehow inter-connected, and not separate. At times, I will open the old library through finder, but I can see it highlight the icon for the EHD and it opens that. I am at my wits end, as at any given point in time I don't know which library it has brought up. I am trialling Aperture, and am trying to move photos over to Aperture from iPhoto, but really need to free up space on my internal drive to be able to work with it. I'd eventually like to move the masters to the EHD, etc., but I'm still in the learning curve with all that (I'll be hitting that forum soon, I'm sure). My highest priority right now is to figure out how to separate the 2 iPhoto duplicate libraries so I can delete the photos from the desktop without affecting the photos on the External Hard Drive. I've tried everything I can think of and everything I found while scouring these forums. Here is the information I think you would need:
                                                         - 24" iMac Intel, Snow Leopard (10.6.8), iPhoto '08 (version 7.1.5)
                                                         - 2 TB WD External hard drive running Time Machine, (so everything from the desktop is backed up).
                                                         - 1TB WD My Book that is formatted as I mentioned above, which I copied the iPhoto Library to.
                                                         - 1 soon-to-be-bald photographer.
Thanks very much in advance for any help anyone can give me. I really like my hair, and don't wish to lose it!
Gail
PS - Just a little background. I have been working on this whole space issue for more than a week now. This is the 3rd new external hard drive I've had this week due to "issues." Had a problem with all 3 but finally figured this one out, and it's now working fine. I am so far behind in some photo editing work because of the hard drive space issues, and I cannot seem to resolve them no matter how hard I try. Hence the frustration. Thanks again.

THANK YOU LARRY!! I did not realize that once you switch libraries, it kept you in that library until you switch back using the option key. I thought that the iPhoto icon would take me to the new library, and going through finder to the old library name would take me to the old one. I was actually in the new library the whole time, and all of the images I deleted were deleted from there. I just switched back to the old library and all of the photos were still there. I also tried deleting from the old library, which is what I wanted to do, and then switching to the new library and it did not affect the photos there at all. So, this was indeed the answer.
Whew, what a relief. You're a life saver. I might actually be able to get some work done now.
Thanks again so much.

I got a new computer..how do I get my library to new iTunes

I got a new computer for Christmas. I clicked on home sharing so I can see my library from the old computer and after we finish getting info from that computer to this one, it will be garbage. So I just imported a CD into my iTunes library on this new computer, so that is really my first content in this library. When I click on sync to my iPhone, it says it will have to erase all of the songs from my first computer. HELP! I don't want to lose all of that music, especially since I paid for it all. Am I missing something? I can't be ther first person to get a new computer.

Okay so I'm sort of related to this topic. My desktop dies before xmas and just got a new hp. I install itunes, set up my account back on it, and authorize my new computer. So I hook up my old hard drive and dump the old files into the new folder and everything seems fine but last night I open itunes to update my ipod touch and iphone and there's doubles of all the songs and movies and the is a exclamation point to some of them. So what do i do now? How do I delete the ones giving me trouble. Or is there a way to delete everything and start over? Thanks for the help in advance and happy new year all.

PLEASE HELP - how do I download old library onto new ipod???

My old IPOD broke & will not function. I bought a new IPOD and need to download the music from my original ipod library on to my new IPOD (same computer). How do I do this?? Please help me - I have so much music downloaded already that I am afraid of losing or needing to download again. Any suggestions??? Many thanks in advance for your help.

Welcome to Apple Discussions!
Is the music on your computer? If so then make sure everything is updated...

http://www.apple.com/ipod/download
Then just connect the iPod and it will sync the songs in iTunes.
Post back if I misunderstood your question

How do I get my library AND playlists back?

Almost every song in my library is telling me that:
+"The song XXX could not be used because the original file could not be found. Would you like to locate it"+
Every song that I have wanted to play, I was able to locate on my hard drive... but how can i get my entire library back into Itunes without tracking them down one at a time... While keeping all my playlists?
I have checked my *iTunes Music Library.xml*, and the locations listed in the library are correct.

This is how I fixed this problem on my sister's PC (Yes PC).
I deleted the itunes library.xml file.
I opened itunes and unchecked the 'organize' option.
I searched entire computer for *.mp3.
In the search results, I selected all mp3's that had been found.
I right clicked (yes PC) the selected mp3's and selected play with itunes.
When itunes opened, only one mp3 that was in the default itunes location opened.
I then went back to search results and dragged all mp3's onto the itunes player window;this in effect imported all music back into itunes but associated the player with the location of the music, in this case a 200 GB USB drive (F).
I then went back into the itunes options and rechecked the box to organize music.
This process took some time, as my sis has over 4000 songs.
Also, all playlists are gone, but I think I can recover these from the IPOD itself.
I hope this helps, CHEERS!!!

Had to do complete system restore - how can I get my library and apps back?

I recently had to do a complete system restore on my laptop. How can I get my iTunes library back, including apps? I haven't updated my iPod Touch in a while because I don't want everything on it to be erased.
Thanks!

You restore them from the backups you made before you did a complete system restore.
You do make regular backups, especially before you wipe your system, correct?
haven't updated my iPod Touch in a while because I don't want everything on it to be erased.
You can get everything off your iPod touch
See this post by Zevoneer -> http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=11646661&#11646661
Make backups after you get them loaded.

How can i get my iphone and ipad to sync

My iPhone and iPad don't seem to sync the calendar information. How can I fix this?

Yes unless you sync the Calendars to on both devices to another common Calendar like Google calendar.
If you have a Mac with less the Mavericks Calendar will sync to the Mac's Calendar app.

Old Apps and new 3.0 OS for iPod Touch 2g

Ok, please tell me Apple isn't screwing me over....
I have 2 or 3 apps that I've had for several weeks. I had to restore my iPod and re-download previously purchased apps. Now, I have a couple of apps that iTunes won't sync to my iPod Touch because it says I have to have 3.0 OS. ***!!!! First, I don't WANT the 3.0 OS yet AND I have no desire to PAY for it. But, I can't get apps I've already paid for to work because the only version is for OS 3.0?? Again, ***!!!
Is there any way around this so I can use the apps I've paid for WITHOUT being forced to pay Apple for something I don't want?

I almost have got the same problems: everything is slowier; some applications don't even work anymore (wifi checker f.I); problems with downloading the mails; while using an application , it stops...
I reporting the problems several times to itunes, but no answers...
7,99 € for worse... that doesn't interest me . What can be done?

How do I get old library onto my new computer ?

I've just bought a new computer and need to know how to download my songs etc onto the new computer. I turned on home sharing but not sure how that works. Any help out there ?
Thanks

what you want to see in iTunes is this (view from my MBP's iTunes seeing the library on my Mini)
if you then click on the house icon, it will change to this and the shared library will load. at that point, two buttons will appear in the lower right corner of the iTunes window, being settings and import
now you should be able to import any content from any shared library by selecting the content and clicking on import.
if the icon looks like this , home sharing has not been set up correctly.
in order for home sharing to work
(a) iTunes on all machines must be authorized for the same iTunes store account
(b) all machines must be on the same network
(c) all machines must have access to the internet.
these reads will be useful: one and two.

How can I import old library to new iPhoto on new Mac

I bought a new macbook pro and need to move my library over but already have some pics in the new library. What is the best way to add the old 20GB library to my new iPhoto?

To migrate a Library:
Link the two Macs together even just copy the Library to an external HD and then on to the new machine...
However you do choose to link the two machines...
Simply copy the iPhoto Library from the Pictures Folder on the old Machine to the Pictures Folder on the new Machine.
Then launch iPhoto. That's it.
This moves photos, events, albums, books, keywords, slideshows and everything else.
The only way to merge the two libraries is with the paid ($20) version of iPhoto Library Manager
If you've not done much with the photos already on the new machine then simply export them from that iPhoto, copy the main library over and then import them to that library

TS1347 How do I get my contacts and calendar to sync from my PC with Windows 8.1 to my i-phone with OS 7.1?

I just got an i-phone 5s with OS 7.1 and I want to transfer/sync my calendar & contacts from Outlook on my PC which has Windows 8.1. The version Outlook is Outlook 2013, hopefully with using icloud.
I've looked at the Apple support site and they want to go the opposite way that I want to go. iN OTHER WORDS THEY WANT TO GO FROM THE CLOUD/PHONE TO OUTLOOK AND i WANT TO MOVE MY OUTLOOK CALENDAR TO THE IPHONE.
Thanks for any help.

The iPhone doesn't store anything on the SIM card, so all contacts, photos, email addresses, etc. are stored in iCloud/Gmail/Yahoo or on the phone itself.
ManS, there is no need to backup and restore the phone for a SIM change. Unless you're unlocking the phone first, then you need to backup, erase the phone, connect to iTunes, and then restore.
But for a SIM change, you will probably have to reactivate iMessage and Facetime on the new carrier link.
