See > iPhoto: How to move the Library folder to a new location
If you moved your iPhoto Library correctly and then double-click the iPhoto Library icon in the new location, it should open iPhoto and remember the new location.

    You posted in the iPad forum instead of the iPod forum. To get answers to your question, next time post in the proper forum. See https://discussions.apple.com/welcome I'll request that Apple relocate your post.

  • How do i import my library from an external hard drive. Exported it as had to wipe pc and reinstal windows but when i try to import nothing happens

    How do i import my library from an external hard drive. Had to export it as had to reinstal windows due to a conflict between windows and i-tunes. Wen i try to import nothing happens despite selecting the file. Can you import from an i-phone to i-tunes?

    What do you mean bye exported the library? 
    There is nothing to export or import.
    The correct process to backup the iTunes library would be to copy the ENTIRE iTunes folder from the computer to the external drive.

    What troubleshooting steps have you tried so far?
    Basic Troubleshooting Steps when all else fails
    - Quit the App by opening multi-tasking bar, and swiping the App upward to make it disappear.  (For iOS 6, holding down the icon for the App for about 3-5 seconds, and then tap the red circle with the white minus sign.)
    - Relaunch the App and try again.
    - Restart the device. http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1430
    - Reset the device. (Same article as above.)
    - Reset All Settings (Settings > General > Reset > Reset All Settings)
    - Restore from backup. http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1766 (If you don't have a backup, make one now, then skip to the next step.)
    - Restore as new device. http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4137  For this step, do not re-download ANYTHING, and do not sign into your Apple ID.
    - Test the issue after each step.  If the last one does not resolve the issue, it is likely a hardware problem.

  • How do I get my music from an external hard drive

    I made the mistake of moving my music folder from my computer to my hard drive to free up space on the computer.  Now my ITunes doesn't know how to connect to my music.  It comes up as a set-up page, as if I had never had the account.  Any ideas?

    Put it all back and make sure it works then post back.

    Actually, what I meant to say is I moved my music to an external hard drive.
    So what exactly did you move?

  • How do I transfer my music from my external hard drive with the extension .itl?

    I transferred my music from my old computer to an external hard drive.  Now trying to get my music to load into my new computer via external hard drive but I do not think it will due to the extension of .itl.  what shall I do?

    The itl file is the library's database file; it doesn't contain the music itself. You need to transfer the actual song files.

  • How do I import .mxf files from an external hard drive onto FCP 5.1.4?

    I have an external hard drive and it is full of .mxf files. I am trying to import them but when I click import-folder, the only thing it imports from the Contents is the Icons folder.
    Next, I try to log and capture. It tells me I can only capture now, so I click "Now" and a viewer window flashes with nothing in it, then disappears. And then nothing happens.
    Also, I don't even see the "Log and Transfer" button. Is that because my version is too old?
    Can someone who knows a lot more than me give me guidance so I can be concerned with actually editing it in my time sequence? Thank you!

    #36 - One or More P2 files failed to import.
    Shane's Stock Answer #36 - "One or more clips failed to import..."
    Very often in the field with this camera the camera operator will delete clips from the P2 card that they just don't like. That is the beauty of this camera. But, the still for that video file (located in the CLIP folder in the CONTENTS folder)...the still that you see when you are in the P2 Import window...is not deleted. So you will see the image, and the name, but the video file would have been deleted.
    What you can do it compare the file names in the VIDEO folder and CLIP folder and see if anything is missing. If something is, then you know what the problem is. You can then just import the rest a few at time, skipping that one.
    ALSO...in the P2 Import window...in the P2 Browser, there is a little sprocket drop down menu. Click on that and choose PREFERENCES. Uncheck REMOVE PULLDOWN and then try importing again.
    ALSO...make sure your file names aren't too long. Try shortening them and see if that works.
    ALSO make sure that the folders that contain the CONTENTS folder doesn't have any odd characters like /!@#$%^&*()?.

  • How do I transfer my music from an external hard drive to my new computer?

    I have downloaded itunes but it would take for ever to individually copy each song & regroup them into genres.  Before I got rid of my old computer I copied itunes on an external harddrive as well as my entire playlist.  I thought I could just sync my ipod nano to the new itunes program but apperently not.
