How do I move music files from G4 to my new macbook?

I would like to move my music library from my G4 to my new macbook. the macbook doesn't have a firewire port. It has an enternet and usb ports. what is the simplest way to do this.

The easiest way would be to turn on file sharing and connect both computers to each other using an Ethernet cord, and transfer the files over the mini-network that would result. This would actually be faster than Firewire.

This is how I transferred files from my Mac Pro to my MacBook.

  • How do I move music files from the startup disc to iTunes in the other internal hard disk os 10.5.8?

    How do I move music files from the startup disc to iTunes in the other internal hard disk os 10.5.8?
    The music I want to move was in iTunes but is now just files. I had to reinstall a new iTunes and lost all my old music.
    Thank you!

    That article is about using your iPod as an external hard drive, to move files from one computer to another computer.  It is not related to your question.
    You can't use iTunes to move song files from iPod to computer, except for songs you purchased from the iTunes Store (and you can also re-download purchases).  However, there are third-party methods and utilities that can move song files from iPod to computer.  If you do a Google search on something like "ipod transfer," you should get some links.
    Once the song files are on your current computer, add them to that computer's iTunes library by dragging the files (or folder containing the files) to the iTunes window.  After confirming everything is there (and fixing the data issue you mentioned) you can sync the iPod.  You may want to do a Restore on the iPod, if it might have a data corruption issue, which will erase the iPod's hard drive, re-install the latest software, and set it to defautl settings.

  • How do I move GarageBand files from iPad 2 to New iPad?

    My laptop is a PC, not a Mac.
    At the Apple store I was told it was no problem. I merely back up my iPad 2 and then restore my New iPad (3) from that backup. So far it isn't working and I've tried several times.
    Weirdly, when I first set up my New iPad (3) iTunes set it up as the default "Steve's iPad" which is what I called my iPad 2 on iTunes, and  my GarageBand files appeared on my new IPad (3). So I know it's possible.
    HOWEVER, I hadn't backed up or synched my iPad 2 in a while, so my newer GarageBand files weren't on it.  So I backed up/synched my iPad 2 and then restored my New iPad to original settings, and clicked on "restore from Steve's iPad"  No luck. No GarageBand files. I tried this several times,with no luck.
    Any help will be greatly appreciated.

    Here is how you can export a .band folder to your iPhone, it should work for iPad as well.
    This was my steps
    1. Download iExplorer and install it. Connect your iPhone
    2. Find the folder "com.apple.mobilegarageband" in iExplorers browser
    3. Drag and drop your folder .band to the folder "Documents". (!! Your'e not done yet!)
    4. In GarageBand on your iPhone press the plus-button as you would start a new song. Choose "Copy from iTunes". Choose your imported song.
    5. Start rockin'

  • How do I import music files from a flash drive to my iTunes library on my laptop

    How can I import music files from a flash drive to my iTunes library? I put the flash drive into my laptop, selected " add file to library", selected the songs I wanted from the flash drive, and it looked like they were added as the names show under " recently added". Then I removed the flash drive from my laptop But when I select one of the songs and try to play it a message saying "the song could not be used because the original file could not be found. Would you like to locate it?"  So it seems the actual files did not transfer. What do I do? I have done this. With a cd in the past with nsomproble,.

    Thank you!! This worked. It does seem there should be an easier way but this did work.
    Dragging the files to "Automatically Add..." is pretty easy once you know where to look.  Just make sure iTunes is running when you do it; otherwise the files will just sit there until the next time you open iTunes.
    (Interestingly, the way you originally tried to do would have worked fine except for one little detail:  you have to first go into Edit > Preferences > Advanced, and check the box for "Copy files..."  If that is not done, iTunes will reference the files on the flash drive, which of course are not accessible once the drive is removed, as you saw.)
    Anyway, glad that all is now sorted.  Enjoy the music!

    I have elements 9 running on computer A. I now have elements 11 running on computer B. How do i move my files from computer A to B?

    Do a full backup using the organizer's backup command on computer A. Then restore that to computer B.
    EDIT It will probably go smoothest if you use some kind of removable drive for the backup location.

  • How do I move my files from my Macbook to a pc?

    How do I move my files from my MAcbook to my pc?

    What operating system is the PC running?
    You will need to turn on file sharing on the PC. For Windows XP use methods described here. Windows 7 here.
    Connect to the shared Windows volume by going to the Go menu in the Finder and selecting Connect to Server... In the resulting dialog type smp:// and the IP address of your windows machine. Click Connect and enter your Windows machine's username and password when prompted.
    The Windows share will now appear on your Mac's desktop. Drag the items you want to copy over to it.
    Best of luck.

  • How do I move all files from an old PPC to a new Mac Mini?

    How do I move all files from an old PPC to a new Mac Mini?

    The new mini has a Firewire 800 port. Likely the PPC version only has Firewire 400.  The OP will need a converter cable which is why I was asking first about what hardware is available and how much is being copied.
    Probably go with using the external hard drive if you decide all you want are data files.
