HT4527 How do I transfer all my iPod songs to my new touch iPod

How do I transfer all my iPod songs to my new touch iPod

Hey, I had the exact same issue. The way that Apple explains to do it is change your iPod into hardrive mode by messing with the preferences. While your iPod is hooked up to your old compuer, go into preferences and check the box saying enable disk use. Then your iPod will appear on the desktop and you can drag the song files into it. I don't know if you can transfer them all at once or not. Anyway, then you hook up the iPod into the new computer and drag the songs into iTunes. I had trouble doing this and it erased all my songs one time but I think it was an error on my part. Another way to do it is to send the song files through AIM. Have someone on the old computer and you on the new one and send them in large bunches to the new computer. Yet another way is to e-mail them to yourself and download them on to the new computer. The sure-fire way (and the way I finally succumbed to but it worked!) is to download the program iPodCopy on the new computer and follow the instructions to have your music quickly and easily copied. It does cost $17.00 dollars to download but I was willing to pay the price to have my music transferred hassle-free. Just type iPodCopy into google and it should come up. After months of trying and searching how to transfer my music to the new computer, this was my last resort and it was well worth it!
I hope my suggestions help you out in your iPod escapades!
Let me know if they work. Buenas Suerte.

- Transfer iTunes purchases by:
iTunes Store: Transferring purchases from your iOS device or iPod to a computer
- For other music you need a third-party program like one of those discussed here:
Copy music
- Connect the iPod to the computer and make a backup by right clicking on the iPod under Devices in iTunes and select Back Up.
- Restore the iPod from that backup
Note that the backup that iTunes makes does not include media like app and music.

Just replaced my laptop how do I transfer all my itunes, apps to the new laptop?

Just bought a new laptop. How do I transfer itunes music, apps, etc onto the new laptop?

Ok here is another way. You will need file sharing on on both computers. You will need to have the ip address of your old computer. It;s in system preferences( network). you will need your old comps admin name just as appears in accounts and the password. Then go to the top of your desktop, new computer, click on go scroll down click on servers. Type in ip address amin name and password for old computer.and click on the apply. A file should come up on the screen that is you old computer. you need to go tothe home folder, music open it find the folder that just has the music in it. open the folder to make sure. then close it drag it to you desktop and let you new compuer copy it. After it gets copied open Itunes . then go to file andclick on it . Go down to add library and click on it you'll get another file on your desktop to find the file youwant. Click on desktop click on the Itunes folder click the copy and it will copy that folder to your new Itune. then throw away the itunes folder on the desktop. I should add, you want just the music file nothing else off your old computer,otherwise it will not work.

How do i transfer from an old PC to a new laptop?

Hi,
Just bought myself a new laptop (windows Vista) and selling my old PC (windows Xp) to a friend. How do I transfer all my i-tunes to the new laptop? Can I send as a Win-zip file and then set it up from here or is it more complicated?
Help!
Thanks

Probably the most straightforward way to get iTunes onto your new computer is to network it with the old one and copy your iTunes folder across. This works fine if you have been using iTunes to completely manage your music and all your songs are in iTunes Music not in different folders. You can also use this method with an external hard drive, you drag the folder from the old computer to the external drive and then from the drive to the new computer. If the songs in your library are not all in the iTunes Music folder you can consolidate them. When you consolidate, any songs in the iTunes Library that are not in the iTunes Music Folder are copied to the Music Folder and the Library is updated to point to those new files. Files already in the iTunes Music Folder have no changes made to them: Copying all your iTunes files to one location - Windows
Copying the whole folder brings with it the iTunes Music folder and also the iTunes Library (iTunes Library.itl in Windows) database file which holds all the information about your songs (Playlists, Ratings, Play Counts, Last Played, Date Added, etc). You'll get more information including the Folder/File structure in this article: What are the iTunes library files?
When you copy the iTunes folder make sure you put it into the same location on the new computer. This has to be the exact same place, on a PC this is \Documents and Settings\Username\My Documents\My Music\. When you open iTunes on the new computer it will be the same as on the original one Songs, Playlists, Play Counts, Ratings etc. When I moved iTunes a while ago for my daughter I was also using the same version of iTunes, not sure how important that is but it's probably worth keeping them the same.
If you have an iPod it can be used as an external drive and you can move the iTunes folder onto it: How to use your iPod to move your music to a new computer
If you have any iTunes purchases in your library don't forget that you'll need to authorise your new computer to play them. Also if you are disposing of the old one remember to deauthorise it so you don't use up one of your allowances: About iTunes Music Store Authorisation and Deauthorisation

You might find this page for syncing to a new computer useful : https://discussions.apple.com/docs/DOC-3141
For iTunes purchases File > Devices > Transfer Purchases should copy them over. For music from other sources (e.g. copied from CDs) then if you haven't got it on a backup drive and you don't still have your old computer with it (copying music between computers) then there are some programs listed half-way down this page which should be able to copy them off your phone : https://discussions.apple.com/docs/DOC-3991

Refreshing CRM's Account and Contact list with new data

Hi Folks, I am very new to CRM and was tasked with a new job of refreshing our CRM's account and contact listing.
We get a new list in Excel every now or so from a commercial vendor that compiles list of companies and key contacts and sends it out to subscribers.
I cleaned out this Excel data so there is a:
1) Contact List
2) Account List
3) Contact + Account
that can be directly mapped to fields in CRM.
What I need to do is, make sure none of our existing data is deleted. If there is a matching account (eg. company A) then only the phone no, address, website will be updated. If there is a matching contact again do the same.
If there is no matching account in CRM, then create new account and all corresponding contacts.
Anyone done something similar, can you please suggest the optimal way to go around this? Thank.

Hi
When you do an import in On demand , you can select the appropriate choice in the Step 1 of your import wizard.
you can select to import the account with the on demand predefined fields where in you can import via account and location.
In case when duplicate is found you can opt for a overwrite of existing records and when no duplicate is found then you can ask for a new record creation.
the same way you can do for contacts.
By this method you can be sure that records are not lost and new records are created if there is no existing record.\
hope this helps.

How can I transfer my photos and songs from my old computer to my ipad? (Old computer running on 10.4 and not compatible with the last itunes needed by ipad)

Hi guys,
I got an ipad 2 running on iOS6 and I'ld like to put my photos and songs from my old computer (mac Osx 10.4.11) to my ipad. The trouble is that Ipad needs itunes 10.6.3 at least and that my computer can't receive this version as it is running on 10.4.11.
Would anyone have a solution to that problem?

For photos: You can use a USB flash drive & the camera connection kit.
Plug the USB flash drive into your computer & create a new folder titled DCIM. Then put your movie/photo files into the folder. The files must have a filename with exactly 8 characters long (no spaces) plus the file extension (i.e., my-movie.mov; DSCN0164.jpg).
Now plug the flash drive into the iPad using the camera connection kit. Open the Photos app, the movie/photo files should appear & you can import. (You can not export using the camera connection kit.)

How do i transfer an app and its contents to new mac

Hi,
I've just got a new Macbook with Mountain Lion. I backed up my old Mac (Lion) using Carbon Copy Cloner - although i'm not sure whether it was a bootable back up (when i plug the external harddrive in it shows multipe folders - users, systems, library, applications etc...).
How do I transfer Aperture , Final Cut Pro, iWork, and iLife and all of their saved contents (projects, pictures etc...) over to my new mac. The Genius today told me that because I didn't do a time machine back up I should be careful when transfering these as certain program files may have changed and will have an affect on the new machine...
Also, I should mention that I don't have Final Cut Pro, Aperture or iWork installed on my new mac.
Any help would be greatly appreciated...
Thanks, Aaron

Okay cool.
But if the carbon copy was made on Lion and my new OS is Mountain Lion, will this have an affect on the way apps work??
The only apps i'm worried about are iWorks (as I dont have original disk so need to transfer these apps via carbon copy), as well as iPhoto - as I have all my photos on it.
Should I just transfer the iWork apps via drag and drop (then do any updates they say I need. and then when I drag and drop the iWork files (pages files mainly) will they work fine?
And with the iPhoto photos, should I just drag and drop the iPhoto library file - as I won't need the App as it's already installed on my new mac...
Just a little confused as to how my new mac will accept the Apps and it's files as they are from an older OS...
Sorry if this is a little confusing...
thanks so much.....
