How do i transfer a single CD on to my back up hard drive without having to transfer the whole itunes library?

How do I transfer a single CD recently loaded on to itunes to my hard drive without having to transfer the whole itunes library?

Copy just those files. But that isn't ideal. You really want a differential system that efficiently updates the backup set with all new and updated files.  See Backup your iTunes for Windows library with SyncToy for a suggested strategy.

    My current hard drive is filled up and i'm going to buy a new, bigger hard drive. How can i change the save and backup destination for iTunes so i can backup and transfer my purchases(apps) onto the new hard drive? Without having to backup and save my apps onto the current hard drive because there's no space left on it. Thanks!

  • How do you get your music on your phone without syncing the whole iTunes library on your phone?

    How do you get your music on your phone without syncing the whole iTunes library on your phone?

    Are you syncing to a different computer?  Iphone will sycn with only one at a time.  Syncing to another will erase the current content.
    Otherwise, just select what you want to be on the iphone under the music tab and sync.  What do you care if it erases?  You will be syncing what you want to the iphone.

  • HT4623 I have never had a passcode to lock  my iPad. Now that I have updated it with IOS7 it is asking for one and is locked. How do I unlock this without having to reset the whole thing through iTunes????

    I have never had a passcode to lock  my iPad. Now that I have updated it with IOS7 it is asking for one and is locked. How do I unlock this without having to reset the whole thing through iTunes????

    Unfortunately, if the iPad is insisting that you use a passcode, there is no way around it other than to restore the device using iTunes on a computer, or by erasing it in iCloud.com via Find My iPhone.
    You could try resetting the iPad and cross your fingers and hope this is just a blip on the radar....hold down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10 seconds until the Apple logo appears on the screen.

  • Can I transfer a Time Machine backup to a new empty hard drive, without installing Mountain Lion again?

    Can I transfer a Time Machine backup to a new empty hard drive, without installing Mountain Lion on that new hard drive?

    Yes - I just did it the other night. Took five hours, but it finally finished and is working great.
    I sort of followed the instructions found here -->> http://pondini.org/TM/18.html.
    Also, if you want to have dual backups, see -->>
    http://pondini.org/TM/27.html.
    I say 'sort of' because I used Carbon Copy Cloner to do a block-level transfer. I just didn't want to get hung up with a Finder copy.
    Give CCC a try - you have to enable the block copy in Preferences before using this method, but I was quite happy with it. I used it to move over 1TB of TM backups from a FireWire 800 drive to a 2TB Thunderbolt drive. 5 seconds short of taking 5 hours.
    It should work well for you.

  • How do I transfer my iTunes music from one internal hard drive to another internal hard drive without having to locate every song?

    So I have two internal hard drives in my laptop but the hard drive that my music is on is running out of space. I want to transfer my music from the smaller hard drive to the larger hard drive so my computer can run faster. If I do this I'm afraid I'm going to have to locate every song within the iTunes library. Is there a way around it so I won't have to go in my files and locate every song? Any help would be greatly appreciated!

    Instead of moving the entire iTunes folder you can copy it, then do the Shift-launch trick to select the .itl file from its new location.  If it works, then go back and delete the original location.
    But maybe clarify your configuration ... specifically, is your "iTunes Library.itl" file currently on the same drive that your music files are stored on?  Or, do you keep your .itl file on a separate drive than the native files?  If the .itl file is on a separate drive right now, then moving or copying the music files over to be on the same drive can result in iTunes not knowing where your native files went.  You can get around that using the Consolidate utility in iTunes, but that is not necessary if the .itl file lives with the music files.

  • How do i delete a song from my ipod without having to delete the whole album or artist?

    How do I delete a song from my ipod without having to delete the entire album or artist?

    Open the music app and select the Songs view. Swipe your finger to the right along any song and then press the red Delete button that appears.
    You can also delete individual songs in iTunes by selecting a single song and pressing Delete on your keyboard.

  • Can I transfer PE5 to a larger hard drive without having to reinstall?

    Hi I'm a new member of this forum and would like some advice on some things that I cannot find in the help sections, the Adobe website or the Forum.
    My hard drive was too small (80GB) for all my photos and PE5 with all of the other programs I have on it so I have installed an additional drive (360GB).  I am running XP Professional. Can anyone please tell me if I can migrate the PE5 and all the photos etc to the new drive WITHOUT having to uninstall and reinstall on the new drive? The computer is an AMD 2.7GHZ Athlon dual core with 3.25GB free memory.
    As an additional question,  I save all my photos that I have modified in a folder system that I have been using since long before I had PE5. I like this system because it works for me. However, when I save photos PE5 automatically saves them in the Organizer as well as the folder I tell it to. This is duplicating the amount of disc space that is being used. Can someone please tell me how to switch the automatic "Save in Organizer" off?
    Many thanks Dr. How.

    First, you don't need to move PSE itself ... just the photos. So no need to uninstall.
    In PSE5, switch to Folder Location View (Alt-Ctrl-3), and move your folders that contain your photos to the new drive by dragging and dropping the folders in the folder browser that appears. For this to work, you may need to put a dummy photo on the new hard disk, and then import it into PSE.
    Do not move your photos in Windows. Let me say that again. Do not move your photos in Windows.
    Finally, your photos are not in the Organizer. By importing photos into the Organizer, you have not duplicated things using up twice as much disk space. The PSE Organizer contains only pointers to your photos, and a small thumbnail that it displays for you.

  • How to add only selected music to my iPhone not sync the whole iTunes library

    Hi everyone,
    I have a MacBook Pro and an iPhone 4. I have some music on my iPhone, and quite a bit on iTunes on the MacBook. I want to transfer selected tracks from the MacBook, but when I click on 'Rushenette's iPhone' and select 'Music', I have the option to Sync but get a message saying everything on my iPhone will be overwritten with the contents of my iTunes library.
    How do I keep the iPhone contents the same, but add a few tracks from the MacBook?
    Thanks in advance

    Thanks ckuan,
    But... I bought the tracks on the phone via iTunes, then later transferred purchases back to the MacBook. All my music is in iTunes already. The MacBook has the complete set, the phone has a subset.
    Now I have some more stuff on the MacBook (in ITunes) that I want to put on the phone, but I don't want to fill my phone with the entire music library, just add a few tracks.

  • How do I generate a duplicate copy of my photos on another hard drive without loosing the keywords?

    I want to back up my photos on another hard drive and access them from my main catalog? How do I do that? If I use Lightroom to move the folder onto another hard drive it does not give me the option to copy them. I have to actually move them, which defeats the purpose because I still have only one copy.
    All of my images are in DNG format.

    Backup copies should never be accessed by LR or any other editing application. They are "safety net" copies to be used only when the original image files become lost, damaged, or corrupted.
    As dj_paige explained you also need to include regular backup copies of your LR catalog(s) on the backup hard drive. Any file & folder backup application will do this for you by keeping the files and folders on your backup drive up-to-date (i.e. synchronized) with the primary drive. If on a Mac you can use Time Machine if on a Windows system there are numerous applications available, both paid and freeware. I use FreeFileSync for backing up all my media files, including Pictures, Music, Videos, Documents, Settings, and of course LR catalog.
    If you're intention was to use the backup copies as separate editing copies, please take a look at Virtual Copies.

  • My hard drive crashed and I have lost my Itunes library. How can I get my the music that I loaded from my own CDs back on my PC from my iPod?

    My hard drived crashed in my HP Pavilion desktop and I have installed a new one. I have Windows 2007. My Itunes library is gone. How can I get all the music that I loaded onto my iPod from my own CD's back into an Itunes library?

    The loading of audio files to iPod is designed to go one way only: computer to iPod. There are some third-party applications available which will rescue an audio library and write the files back to a PC HDD. The playlists might not copy, nor the album art work, nor videos but you might be able to recover all audio files. Some apps are open source and available for free download, for example: Senuti, Onyx. There are others which are  Windows-based; do a Google search to find out. 

  • How can I print contiguous rows on a Numbers spreadsheet without having to print the whole spreadsheet page?

    I frequently have a need to print a portion of a spreadsheet for a presentation, but find that I have to print the whole spreadsheet page to obtain the information I want.  When I was using Microsoft Excel I could highlight a section of a spreadsheet and print only the highlighted rows.  Is there some way that I can do this in Numbers?  Help will be appreciated.

    Numbers differs significantly from Excel in the print paradigm.  If you enable Print View using the menu item "View > Show Print View", you will see exactly how each page will print.
    A Numbers document contains Sheet.
    Sheets contains a canvas, on which you place tables, graphics, text, and media.  The canvas is continuous and is divided into pages at print time.
    If you want to print just a portion of a table, select the area, copy, the open the Application Preview, select the menu item "File > New From Clipboard"
    Then print

  • How can I copy files from an external hard drive without creating copies on the disk?

    I recently purchased a MacBook Air as part of a requirement for schoolwork. I decided to use it to sync music to my iPod and iPhone, and it worked perfectly well, however, i keep most of my music files on an external hard drive. Recently, it started sending me messages about the hard drive being almost full. I checked on the about this Mac screen, and it said that up to 95 gigabytes on the disk drive had been taken up by music. This was not my intention, as i had previously assumed the music was kept on my external hard drive as it had been on windows. I attempted to delete the folder, but it now said that my disk drive was taken up by "other" files. I want to still use my iTunes without these files copying. How?

    Hi flyingroastchicken,
    If the songs are being stored on your Mac, then make sure that the location of where the iTunes media is being store. Take a look at the article below to verify that you have it set up the way you want.
