How can i transfer rental movies from my Ipad to my iTunes library before updating

how can i transfer rental movies from my Ipad to my iTunes library before updating ?

According to http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1415 :
You can move the rental between devices as many times as you wish during the rental period. However, the movie can only be played on one device at a time. If you rent a movie or TV show on an iPhone, iPad, iPod touch, or Apple TV, it is not transferable to any other device and you must watch it on that device.
So I assume that you cannot use File > Transfer Purchases to copy them to your computer (though there is no harm in trying)

How do I copy existing songs from Computer Hard Drive to IPOD 30GB

How do I copy existing songs from Computer Hard Drive to IPOD 30GB? I am slightly learning disabled and have been unable to figure out how to add and or update. Thnaks

If the songs are in iTunes and the iPod is set to sync automatically, the songs should already be on the iPod; if they aren't, follow the instructions in this article and post back with any error messages.
If the iPod is set to sync manually, drag the songs onto the iPod in the iTunes source list.

How do I copy iphoto libraries from one external drive to another?

Two of three of my iPhoto's libraries could not be upgraded to Mavericks because there was not enough room on a partitioned external drive. How do I copy them to a larger external drive? ( Iphoto 11)

Drag them there. The volume they’re put onto needs to be formatted as Mac OS Extended.

HT1473 How do I import my library from an external drive to Itunes quickly

How do I import my library from an external drive to my Itunes on my computer quickly? When I pull up ITunes, I only show Add File to Library and so I would have to manually add each file one by one, isn't there a faster way? In the old Itunes there used to be Import Library?

Press ALT or CTRL+B to display the menu bar. This gives access to File > Add Folder to Library.
If the external drive contains a complete self-contained iTunes library that you want to open, press and hold down shift as you launch iTunes and keep holding until prompted to choose or create a library. Click choose and browse to the iTunes Library.itl file on the external drive.
If you have devices that sync with your previous iTunes library either open the copy on the external as above, or copy the entire iTunes folder into your internal drive and keep the external as a backup.

How do I download a movie from my zip drive

I have a movie my husband got for me from his work, how do I get it from my zip drive to my I tunes movie section, and how do I get my home video in the home vidieo section?

Yes but
Can it not be connected to a Mac
Old SCSI - to old Mac as a G3-PowerMac
Then files copied over to a FireWire or USB hard disk
(If file is less than 4Gb DOS/FAT32/Mac Exchange formatted - will still work)
If file is > 4Gb then open it on a PC and Export it in - less than 4Gb blocks and as streamingDV or AIC.
These files can then be assembled in iMovie (up to HD6) or FinalCut (any version) and will keep 100% Quality.
As more You tell - as more we can help

How do I copy my library from an external drive to my computer without bringing all of my music just the library?

I have 137,000 songs on an external harddrive. I just loaded them all into Itunes on a new computer and took the time to sort through all of them and remove duplicates and correct artists ect to have it all sort well. I narrowed it down to 20,000 songs. Now I figured out the Itunes library with 20,000 songs is still on my harddrive and is just pulling the 20,000 from the 137,000 songs available. How do I copy just the 20,000 in my library onto the hard drive on my computer. I want to upload these into "Cloud" but want to keep them separate from the rest of the music? Does anyone know how to do this?
Thanks

Designate a new iTunes Media folder outside of the current folder structure and consolidate the 20,000 files to that location.
I don't have iCloud but I presume it counts the files in your library. If so you may not need to do anything at all, assuming you've eliminated the other entries from the library, but the method above will let you create one clean folder with your keepers.

How do you import a movie from a DVD to my Itunes library?

Hii! I have been using Itunes for 3 months and it just came to me that I want to put a movie that I have on DVD on my ipod. I know that i have to put it in my Itunes first but how do you put your movie in my itunes library?? I have been in all tutorials that I could find but they don't tell me how to do this.
I need an answer quick! Going on vacation tomorrow!
Thanx!

Actually, what you want to do is illegal in the US (and probably Canada too) since it requires breaking the copyright protection on DVDs. As such, even discussion of methods is prohibited by the [terms of use of this site|http://discussions.apple.com/help.jspa]
A DVD wouldn't play in itunes anyway since it isn't a supported format.

How do I copy a file from a flash drive to my iMac

I am trying to import my contacts from my old PC to my new iMac. I had all my files transfered by an Apple store tech. My contacts went to my Address Book. Which is fine, but I now want to import them into Office for iMac 2011 Outlook. So I exported them out of Outlook 2007 for Windows into a file on a flash drive. I am now trying to import them from the flash drive into Outlook on my iMac. I can't figure out how to find the flash drive on the iMac to import the file. HELP!!!

By default, all drives are hidden from the desktop. Pretty dumb in my opinion, but that's the default.
From the desktop, choose Finder > Preferences. Turn on the check boxes for all drive types you want to always appear on the desktop.

How do i ..load music from PC hard drive to itunes

hey ... trying to pulll from my PC hard drive (library) to itune (library)

if your main library is on your external, then when not connected, you wont have access to it.
so first decide, where do you want to keep the files.
E.g. In my case, I keep my files on "C:\iTunes Music".
I have a backup on external "Z:\iTunes Backup". If I format my laptop, this is how I restore everything.
Edit -> Preferences -> Advanced.
The iTunes music folder in selects as "C:\iTunes Music"
I have checked Keep iTunes Music Folder Organized, and also Copy Files to iTunes Music folder when adding to ibrary". Click OK to save and close preferences.
My iTunes list is now empty. I go to file, and select "Add Folder to Library". From that window, I select "Z:\iTunes Backup". iTunes then copies everything from the backup to "C:\iTunes Music". For me, backup is backup, I dont need it to play music.
Now decide this. If you do not want to keep music on C:, but want to only connect the external to update music on your ipod, do this:
In preferences, set iTunes Music folder as "Z:\iTunes Backup", and uncheck Copy files to iTunes Music folder, since they are already there. Then in files, select Add folder to library again to build and update the list.

How can I boot into PartedMagic from a USB drive on a newer MacbookPro?

Hello,
has anyone successfully booted into PartedMagic (or Gparted) from USB drive on a newer (2014) Macbook Pro? If so how? I've tried multiple ways of "burning" my ISO file to the USB drive but in no case am I able to boot into it. I seems to freeze a few seconds into the boot process. Somewhere I've read it might have something to do with EFI but I am not sure.
Looking forward to your feedback. JW

These are mpeg files probably mpeg 2 which iMovie won't import without conversion. Will they open in Quicktime player? If so do a command i and see what the inspector says about the file. MPEG Streamclip is a free app that will convert the Mpeg 2 to .Mov which iMovie will accept although it does require a converter you buy from Apple at $19 I think. Other converters are available just google for them.

How do I copy a movie from PC HDD to iPad?

This question has probably been asked a dozen times so please feel free to point me at a previous asking
I have a movie I want to copy from my Windows 7 64bit desktop to my New iPad 64GB and iTunes doesn't appear to do it?
It is in a folder in the structure below....
Movie Folder
   Movie name.mkv
   Movie Name.srt
I have "added it to my library" as files AND again as a folder. iTunes has flashed some messages VERY fast and doesn't appear to do anything.
What am I doing wrong?
Doesn't iTunes like mkv files? There isn't any DRM etc (as far as I know?)
