connect the Macs with a firewire cable. start the G5 in Target Disk Mode. copy the entire iTunes folder from the G5 to the music folder on the new machine (overwriting the iTunes folder in place there).
fire up iTunes.
make sure you point iTunes to the correct media folder location via preferences > advanced
enjoy !

  • How do I export words and definitions from the glossary widget in C7?

    How do I export words and definitions from the glossary widget as XML? I need to use the same glossary in several projects. When I copy and paste the widget to a different project about 1/2 of the definitions disappear. Figured I would try exporting the words then importing them back in new glossaries in each project. Using 7 on a Mac.

    Yes i read, and the answer to the main question is still the same, you cannot export, you just can import definitions if you previously have structured them into an xml file. So, first of all it would be useful to warn the user to ALWAYS start from an xml file BEFORE starting populating the glossary. Furthermore, not all users are supposed to manage easily an xml editing, and the widget itself has been programmed to insert the definitions with a simple method, so it would be necessary also to have an instrument to export to xml for importing purpose. Storyline has the same lack, you cannot move glossary from one project to another but you are forced to start from an old project or insert the glossary itself into a master project. You will agree with me that an xml export feature is not something so difficult to add for the widget. In my personal example, i added about 200 definitions, then i discovered that the glossary of captivate 7 does not work well in html5, the new one in captivate 8 is little bit better, but still not working on chrome (at least on ipad it shows, but you cannot show a button over it since it goes always on the top of everything, so at the moment i inserted a big transparent square behind it to close everyting like a lightbox). This widget is still very buggy and need to be improved.

  • How do you export photos and movies from iPhoto to your iPhone? I synced the device and noticed that some photos and some movies from iPhoto on my laptop were not transferred to my iPhone.

    How do you export photos and movies from iPhoto to your iPhone?  I synced the devices and noticed that some photos and movies on my laptop iPhoto were not transferred to my iPhone?

    I am not sure, which answer you found - so just in case:
    If you sync your iPhone with the iPhoto library, the photos will only stay on the iPhone until the next sync and they are not in the Camera Roll. If you transfer using the Photo Stream, they will only be vidsible in the stream, until they are replaced in iCloud by newer content.
    So, if you want to transfer the photos permanently, save them to the Camera Roll.

  • How to get my photos and music from my iphone to my hp laptop without having windowed on my laptop

    i just got anew hp laptop.  it does not have windows.  I want to be able to link my iphone with my laptop but don't know how.  want to be able to get my photos and music from my phone to my laptop and be able to load music on to my ipod. Is this possible to do

    I think there is still no APP or a way to copy music or videos from Iphone to PC. Pictures can be copied when you access the storage of the iphone from PC. Not sure if you are using other laptop before with itunes where you organize everything about your iphone. If you have, copy the Itunes folder from My Music folder and paste it on the new laptop you have, (you need to install Itunes first on your new laptop before doing this)

  • How do I access photos and music from desktop to laptop

    I have a desktop Mac Pro desktop and will be purchasing a new Macbook Pro for traveling.  I use Final Cut Pro and will need to access IPhoto and  ITunes currently stored on the hard drive of my Mac Pro desktop.  
    One idea I had was loading the music and photo programs on a portable hard drive that I can carry with me.
    1.May I move those programs off my hard drive?  I know some programs ie FCP, will only load on my internal hard drive.
    2. Are there any other ways to access those programs from my desktop?
    Thanks

  • TS4036 how do i backup photos and music from my computer to icloud

    How do I backup photos and music to icloud to download to my iphone4s or ipad.  Not having any luck transferring by direct connect

    You can redownload music purchased from iTunes as explained here: http://support.apple.com/kb/ht2519.  Music from other sources can only be accessed from iCloud if you subscribe to iTunes Match.
    Photos can be transferred by putting them in a folder, then selecting the folder on the Photos tab of your iTunes sync settings and syncing.  Or, you can transfer them over wifi by using an app like PhotoSync.  To stream them with iCloud, you have to set up iCloud on your computer as explained here: http://www.apple.com/icloud/setup/pc.html, enable photo stream, then add photos as explained here: http://support.apple.com/kb/PH2606.

  • How do i transfer photos and music from ipod to computer?

    Hi everyone,
    a couple of weeks ago my computer crashed and i lost everything, i don't know how to put the music and photos that are on my ipod back onto my computer, can anyone help me? i am especially bothered about the photos, as they are the only copy of them that i have (the other copy was on my computer) and they are quite sentimental, i really don't want to lose them! I have seen other people say to plug in the ipod, go to my computer and unhide the music and photos, i think i have found the music but it's all under weird names and my computer won't let me open it. With the photos, all that i can find is two folders called 'photo database' and 'thumbs', but again, i can't open them, i just get a message up saying 'windows cannot open this file' and 'windows needs to know where this file was made before it can open it.' if anybody can help me then it would be much appriciated, i really don't want to lose my stuff. many thanks in advance x

    These links will give you several methods of recovering whatever songs remain on your iPod; some free, some third-party software, some more comprehensive for restoring Playlists, Ratings, Play Counts, etc. Read them and their associated links before deciding on a strategy that works for you. There are many various third-party software programs that will offer a more robust process, or an easier GUI. Do a Google search for them if the links below leave you wanting…

    Copying Songs from Your iPod to a Mac or PC (resource for 3rd party software)

    Senuti (Mac OS X v10.3 or higher Recovery Utility)
    XPlay (Windows software For Music Recovery &/or Cross-Platform Functionality)
    XPlay Photo Browser (For recovering Photos)
    Extremely Simple Method: (just to recover the song files – may not work on a Mac)
    1 - Open iTunes
    2 - Edit=>Preferences=>’Advanced/General’ tab
    2a --- Select ‘Copy files to iTunes Music folder when adding to library’: checked
    2b --- Select ‘Keep iTunes Music folder organized’: checked
    2c --- Click OK to store changes
    3 - Attach your iPod to the PC and hold down the ‘Shift+Ctrl’ keys until the iPod is fully recognized (this will defeat the auto-sync process)
    4 - If you get a dialog box to link the Library, decline this option
    5 - Within iTunes: Edit=>Preferences=>’iPod’ tab: switch iPod to manual transfer – click ‘OK’
    6 – File=>Add Folder
    7 - Browse to and open ‘My Computer’ (click on the ‘+’) and select the iPod
    8 - Click OK
    9 - The music files should start to transfer back into iTunes
    9a –- This will take some time depending on your PC and the amount of songs on the iPod
    No Playlists, or Ratings, Last Played, & Play Count attributes will be transferred from the iPod to iTunes using this method.
    If you have problems with seeing the iPod within 'My Computer', try switching your update method to 'manual' , detach the iPod, then reconnect the iPod to the PC.
    After recovering your song files, strongly consider developing a thorough backup strategy for just this type of situation (and many other potential disasters).
    You need at least two full sets of your music, not including what is on the iPod:
    -- One full set on the PC within iTunes (on internal HD or ExHD)
    -- One full set on an separate external backup medium (CD/DVD/ExHD/other)
    -- One (full or partial) set on the iPod
    Music files on just the iPod and only one other medium is not considered having any backup.
    If you cannot store your complete music files on the computer’s internal HD, then create and maintain at least two external sets (any multiple combinations of ExHDs, DVDs, CDs).
    Backup both the music files and the Library database file (iTunes Library.itl). What are the iTunes Library files?

  • How to copy one playlist and associated files to another's computer

    I have my iTunes music files on an external hard drive. My friend has created on my computer a largish (8GB) playlist of songs she wants from my library. I want to attach my external drive to her computer, and copy into her library only the songs that are on that playlist she's created. It would take forever to add them one by one using "add to library" and then hunting down one file at a time. Is there some way to copy the playlist onto her computer, and then use the playlist to automatically copy over the music files represented on the playlist? Many thanks for your help. If it matters, I'm on Windows XP and she's on OSX.

    You can burn that playlist as data CD/DVD (backup). Go to the preferences menu and make sure that data CD/DVD is selected. If the playlist is too large you could split it by moving a part of the files to a second playlist.

  • Disk Crashed: can i restore playlist and music from iPod

    HI
    My hard drive crashed and I lost everything on that disk. However, I have my music and playlist in my iPod Touch 32gb 2nd Generation. Is it possible to transfer the music and playlist back to my new hard drive?
    I also have a backup from the music , but I have tried to import the iTunes Music Library (was in iTunes 9) to the new iTunes 10 and iTunes suddenly crashes.
    I know I could just put all the music back but I'll have to make new playlists.. and I want to know how can I recover them either from the iTunes Music Library from iTunes 9 or my iPod
    Also, if I put my music back on the disk.. and sync the ipod... i thing the ipod will erase its contents and replace them to be able to sync?

    If it is purchased music through iTunes you can simply connect the iPod, open iTunes and go to File > Transfer Purchases.
    If the music is not purchased through iTunes you can use this software to move ANY music from the iPod to your Mac: http://www.getsharepod.com/
