How do i transfer nano playlist to new macbook air

old nano, new macbook and playlist/music wont sync

If both versions of iPhoto will be the same, this is the easiest way as sig has said. There is also an export feature. I use the export feature to save separate copies of my library as regular files (not within the iPhoto library).
You could also export, then save to a folder (using events as sub-folders). Then drop those into your new iPhoto library and it would put them back in their proper place. However, you could lose some META data that way, but in my experience I've not lost anything significant, really only the key photo has to be set again. I had a very out of control iPhoto library once, and this saved me a bunch of space.
Also, there is an app JPEGmini which I used to save a bunch of GBs of data. I exported, ran them through this app, which can reduce file size by as much as 40-50% while still retaining image quality. I had to try it to believe it, but it was amazing. Then I put them back in iPhoto and now my library is fast.
But simply moving the library will work. Just make sure both versions of iPhoto are the same, then you don't have to upgrade the library where things can happen.

    The only way to do that is to Purchase it from the Mac App Store.

    In that case... Install it on your New Mac using the Disc(s) and have all your Serial Numbers handy in case you are asked for them during the Install.
    After the successful install... run Software Update to get any and all Updates... Then Restart your Mac and you should be good to go.
    PS:
    Make sure your MBPr is connected to the Mains for this Long process...

  • How do I transfer music from iBookG4 to MacBook Air?

    How do I transfer music from my old iBookG4 to new MacBook Air?
    I've tried Home Sharing and it also brings across a couple of albums. Help much appreciated!
    Thank you in advance.

    Quick answer if you use iTunes' default preferences settings:  Copy the entire iTunes folder (and in doing so all its subfolders and files) intact to the other drive.  Open iTunes and immediately hold down the option (alt) key (shift on Windows) so you get a prompt to select a library, then guide it to the 'iTunes Library.itl' file in the moved iTunes folder.  If you have to use a small flash drive to do the moving you can copy the files and folders groups at a time but make sure they all end up in the same folder structure in the end.
    If you put the copied iTunes folder in the default location of Macintosh HD > Users > *User Name* > Music  then you don't even need to start with the option key held down, iTunes will automatically look for it there.  (Make sure there isn't anything already in the iTunes folder there that you want to keep since you will be replacing it with the one you are moving.)
    Longer answers if for any reason you do not think all library files are inside your iTunes folder (changed preferences settings at some point):
    iTunes: How to move [or copy] your music [library] to a new computer [or another drive] - http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4527 - a somewhat bewildering and not always easily understandable set of options.
    For the record there's this reference for iTunes 11 but it really doesn't strike me as having the specifics you need. iTunes 11 for Mac: Move your library to another computer - http://support.apple.com/kb/PH12168
    2011 ilounge article: Transferring your iTunes library - http://www.ilounge.com/index.php/articles/comments/moving-your-itunes-library-to -a-new-hard-drive/  - An article with good background information (similar to the links above), particularly if you are not sure your media files are all grouped for quick answer above. Unfortunately under the single term "transferring library" it describes two very different moves; relocating just your media (not  really transferring your library and not recommended unless you really need this configuration), and relocating media+database (really your whole "library").  Make sure you understand the difference before electing to move only media.

  • Transfer iphone settings to new Macbook Air

    I would like to transfer my iphone macbook pro settings to my new macbook air. What's the best/safest way to do it?

    You need to transfer your iTunes library from your MBP to your MacBook Air. Copy the iTunes named folder in your Music folder on your MBP and with iTunes quit on the Air, place the iTunes folder in your Music folder. You will also need to authorize your Air with your iTunes account with iTunes.
    Before syncing contacts with the Address Book and calendar events with iCal on the Air, enter one contact in the Address Book and one calendar event in iCal on the Air. This will provide a merge prompt with the first sync for this data, which you want to select.
    If you use iPhoto for importing photos from a digital camera and for photo storage and management on your MBP, you can transfer your iPhoto library from your MBP to your Air. On your MBP, go to Home > Pictures. Copy the iPhoto Library and transfer it to your Air.

  • How do i transfer itunes to my new macbook pro

    I have just received a new macbook pro (Merry Christmas) and am trying to figure out how to transfer my music from my iPhone to the MBP.

    You can copy only your User folder using Migration Assistant.
    This will bring over all your user data (emails, application settings, bookmarks, Music, Movies, Documents, etc.)
    Copying the entire /Music/iTunes/ folder will copy the entire iTunes library.
    This is done when using Migration Assistantl to copy your user folder.

  • How do I transfer old emails to new macbook

    I'm trying to transfer my emails from my old macbook (os x 10.5.8, mail 3.6) to my new macbook (os x 10.8.2, mail 6.2 ).  I copied my mailboxes from the library on my old computer to the library on the new one.  The emails are there when I look them up using the Finder,  but they don't show up when I open mail. What am I missing?

    If your iPod is set to update automatically you just need take care when connecting back to your new computer and an empty iTunes. When you get the a message that your iPod is linked to a different library and asking if you want to link to this one and replace all your songs etc, press *No* (or "Cancel" if you are using iTunes 7). Pressing "Yes" (or Erase and Sync in iTunes 7) will irretrievably remove all songs from your iPod. Your iPod should appear in the iTunes source list from where you can change the update setting to manual and use your iPod without the risk of accidentally erasing it. In iTunes 7 Check the "manually manage music and videos" box in Summary then press the Apply button. Don't uncheck Sync Music it will be unchecked by default when you choose the manual setting: Managing content manually on iPod
    Changing to manual update will also enable your iPod for disk use and you need this option on to use Yamipod. Keep your iPod in manual mode until you have reloaded your iTunes and you are happy with your playlists etc then it will be safe to return it auto-sync again.

  • How do I transfer iweb site to new macbook pro?

    I used migration assistant to transfer from old macbook to new macbook pro. Both are using lion. When I open iWeb on the new computer it does not show my site. Both computers are connected by firewire, where do I find the files? This site is not published to mobile me, it is hosted by godaddy.
    thanks

    In Lion the Library folder is now invisible. To make it permanently visible enter the following in the Terminal application window: chflags nohidden ~/Library and hit the Enter button - 10.7: Un-hide the User Library folder. Once you've unhidden the library it's a simple matter of copying the domain file from your Users/Home/Library/Application Support/iWeb folder on the old Mac to the same folder on the new one.  You may have to create an iWeb folder on the new Mac if there is not one.
    For opening your domain file in Lion for the first time or to switch between multiple domain files  Cyclosaurus has provided us with the following script that you can make into an Applescript application with Script Editor. Open Script Editor, copy and paste the script below into Script Editor's window and save as an application.
    Just launch the applicaiton, find and select the domain file you want to open and it will open with iWeb. It modifies the iWeb preference file each time it's launched so one can switch between domain files.
    do shell script "/usr/bin/defaults write com.apple.iWeb iWebDefaultsDocumentPath -boolean no"delay 1
    tell application "iWeb" to activate
    You can download an already compiiled version with this link: iWeb Switch Domain.
    WARNING: iWeb Switch Domain will overwrite an existing Domain.sites2 file if you select to create a new domain in the same folder.  So rename your domain files once they've been created to something other than the default name.
