How do I move music from early gen. Shuffle, to Ipod library on new computer, so when it syncs, I won't lose purchased, downloaded music?
Sure this has been asked before, sorry, didn't want to read thru a million threads. Was able to upload SOME purchased tunes from older shuffle to new computer's library, but I want to move EVERYTHING from shuffle to new computer Itunes library so when I sync it, it won't erase all those purchased tunes. I can't access my old library on old computer, because the old computer won't even turn on. THANKS
For songs purchased from the iTunes Store, you can use iTunes to transfer them from iPod to computer. If you are not already, log into the iTunes Store using the same Apple ID used to purchase the songs. Under File (in the iTunes menu bar), select Transfer Purchased from <name of iPod>.
For other songs, there is no way to transfer from iPod to computer using iTunes. However, there are third-party methods and utilities that will allow transfer of song files from iPod to computer. If you do a Google search on something like "ipod transfer," it should give you some links (add "mac" to the search if your computer is a Mac).
Once the songs files are safely on your computer, add them to your iTunes library and then sync the shuffle.

How can I copy playlists from i pod to i tunes library on new computer
I bought a new computer and had the contents of my old system transferred. So my i tunes library is on my new computer but none of my playlists. My playlists are still on my i pod. How can I use my ipod to get my playlists back into my i tunes library on my computer?
Sorry, may I ask, are you running Mac or Windows and which version of iPod?
If you want to transfer playlist from your iPod to the new Computer, you need 3rd party software, here is an earlier post by iSmn

But since you got your old system transferred, this mean that your library and your playlist are in the new Computer.
So you got to point the iTunes to where your old iTunes library is, here is the link for Migrating the iTunes library in your Mac, but if you arre using Windows, there is a link there for Windows System..

I am frustrated! I add content to my iTunes library from a cd, then find that I am unable to load it. When I click and drag an item to my device, the red NO symbol appears and I am unable to load it onto my phone, although I have synced the devices. I AM able to do this without issue on another computer. Help!
The number of devices authorized on an account and the number that an iPhone can sync to are two different things. You can now authorize up to 5 computers or 10 devices to play your content, but still an iPhone, iPad or iPod Touch can only be tied to one computer at a time. You can copy content from other computers to the computer used for syncing, and get it on the iPhone that way.
Connect the phone to that computer, whichever you want to be the "master" of the iPhone. Click on its name in iTunes. On the right there is a Summary screen. Scroll down it and you will see several checkboxes. One of them is "Manually manage music and videos". If this is checked you must drag content from iTunes to the iPhone. If you have a large library, however, this can be cumbersome.
The alternative is to leave this box unchecked, and instead click on the "Music" tab when the phone is connected. You can then just check the content you want on the phone, by artist, genre, title, playlist, etc. After checking you click the "Update" or "Sync" button and everything you have checked syncs automatically. -

Copy them from your iPad to your computer and then sync them into your photo library.

How do I restore information from a time capsule Back up to a new computer???
Last week my Imac was stolen. Fortunately the thieves did not take the Airport Time Capsule on which I have my back-ups.
Yesterday I bought a new Imac and today I tried to recover my back-ups.
A very disappointing experience I must say!
During installation I somewhere chose the option to restore information from a previous backup. I entered all the requested ID's and passwords and the system started to reset the backups. It indicated that the "transfer file process" would require 2 hrs 45 minutes. Very promising!
However, after less than 10 minutes it stopped. When I checked the information on the Imac it appeared to be inclomplete. Part of my photo's had been recovered, but my E-mail settings including address books and old E-mails had not been recovered.
I then used the Migration assistant to start the transfer process again. Unfortunately with the same sad result.
When I tried to repeat the process again, the system did not find the Imac back-up on the time machine anymore.
Is there anybody who can help me out???Your backups may be corrupted. Try repairing them, per #A5 in Time Machine - Troubleshooting. Be sure to connect to the TC via Ethernet.
Then start over, per the green box in How do I set up a new Mac from my old Mac or its backups? -
How can I move photos from pictures to my external hard drive? I have copied all photos, however it won't allow me to paste the photos. The paste button is grayed out.
Do you want to copy some pictures to the external drive, or do you want to move your whole iPhoto library? The latter will free up hard drive space on your start up disk; the procedure is explained here:
http://support.apple.com/kb/PH2506
Note this is not the same as a Time Machine backup.
If on the other hand you want to copy some photos from one drive to another, you can just drag and drop them from one location to another. This is a true copy, the originals will remain intact. -
How do I move songs from iTunes to Media player?
How do I move songs from iTunes to Media player. I used to just drag them over but I won't let me anymore.
You should be able to download a codec that will allow Windows Media Player to play non-protected AAC files from the iTunes library. I believe this function is built in to WMP for Windows 7 and 8.
See this post for general tips for sharing media between WMP and iTunes libraries.

Can't sync playlists from ipod touch to new computer
Can't Sync Playlists from iPod Touch to New Library
I just upgraded from an old Pentium computer to a new Dell XPS 18 running Windows 8.1. Downloaded latest version of iTunes to the new computer, then successfully transferred library content from the old computer to the new one via the external hard drive method. All material -- iTunes purchases, music ripped from CDs, a movie, even MP3 files purchased long ago from another source -- transferred successfully; everything plays on the new computer just fine.
My problem is that the "old" playlists didn't transfer over. After connecting my iPod Touch to the new computer, I verified that the iPod has the latest version of iOS, and its content (including the old/original playlists) displays in the window on the left-hand side of the iTunes screen. The really frustrating thing is that I can find no way to transfer the old playlists to my new iTunes library. I've tried dragging and dropping, selecting and pasting, and exploration of all the options menus, but no luck. Creating a new playlist in the new library and then clicking on the "Add To" button opens up a window into which to drop dragged songs/folders from the new library listing, but simultaneously closes the left-hand display window with all of my iPod's current playlists depicted.
I appear successfully to have backed up my iPod to the new computer, but all the sync menu options are grayed out. When I tried clicking on the Sync button, I got a warning that syncing to the new library would erase everything from the old library -- presumably obliterating my playlists with it. I have about a dozen different playlists, some of them with several hundred songs, drawn from a library of a few thousand individual items. Is there some means of importing/transferring the old playlists to the new computer/library, so that I don't manually have to drag and drop hundreds and hundreds of songs into a new set of playlists? Am I overlooking something really obvious or simple? Can I safely turn on Home Sharing and then import or paste the old playlists into the new computer's library. I don't think I'm too much of a Luddite, but given the size of my library I'm very leery of turning on Home Sharing (to the old Pentium computer) after I've successfully transferred over many GBs of content from the old machine to the new.
