How to store music in Macbook?

Hey guys, I am running version 10.6.3 and would like to store my mp3's in the mac, in windows I would simply go into the C drive and create a folder named my music or mp3's and load my music folders in there and navigate from my music software to the mp3's, I wish to have the same setup on the mac, how can I best do this please? I have my music on an external HDD and I am seeing it on the mac's desktop, just need to know where/how to create the folder in the mac to copy and paste, thanks.

One word....iTunes http://www.apple.com/itunes/
Don't make it harder than it needs to be. iTunes, even the current version which some aren't happy with, is the easiest best way to import and catalog your music.

How to transfer music from MacBook Pro to Iphone 6

I have a new iphone 6. How do I transfer my music library from my MacBook Pro to my Iphone 6. I connected the Iphone6 to my computer and under file chose sync. That didn't do it. I recently updated to Yosemite.

Open iTunes then login to your account and make sure the computer is authorized. Next go to the music tab and choose artists, songs or albums you want to sync. Click sync at the bottom of the page. At the top of the iTunes screen you should see the sync actions take place.

How to move music from MacBook to iMac?

I have used another software program to transfer music on cassette tapes to digital files. Because it is a lengthy process, I used my Intel MacBook Pro to do it. The music is now in iTunes on the MacBook, and I want to ADD the songs to the iTunes music already on my G5 Power PC.
Can someone explain, in layman’s terms, how I can do this? I’ve seen topics on similar topics, but I’ve overwhelmed by the answers!

Well, the problem is solved.
The wonderful tech guys at Compucraft helped me out. I consolidated my libraries on the G5, and everything seems to be working fine. The only glitch is that I cannot access the 6 songs I tried to play before consolidating my libraries. Oh well, small price to pay.
Thanks Niel for your help. I'm now rocking out to "The Outfield: Play Deep"! I'm marking this solved.

How to transfer music files on iPad to new Macbook Pro

I just got my new MacBook Pro and I am learning some of the features it has to offer but I have not figured out how to transfer music files from my iPad3 to the new laptop. Is there a way to do that or am I out of luck?

Some of the information below has subsequently appeared in a document by turingtest2: Recovering your iTunes library from your iPod or iOS device - https://discussions.apple.com/docs/DOC-3991
Your i-device was not designed for unique storage of your media. It is not a backup device and media transfer was designed for you maintaining a master copy of your media on a computer which is itself properly backed up against loss. Syncing is one way, computer to device, updating the device content to the content on the computer, not updating or restoring content on a computer. The exception is iTunes Store purchased content.
iTunes Store: Transferring purchases from your iOS device or iPod to a computer - http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1848 - only media purchased from iTunes Store
For transferring other items from an i-device to a computer you will have to use third party commercial software. Examples (check the web for others; this is not an exhaustive listing, nor do I have any idea if they are any good):

Who has maxed out their space on their 160? How much space can itunes store on a MacBook? should I just shift "jazz" to a new iPod and keep rock on my current 160? any suggestions?

Who has maxed out their space on their 160? How much space can itunes store on a MacBook? should I just shift "jazz" to a new iPod and keep rock on my current 160? any suggestions?

I have not filled the iPod Classic 160 GB. I have most of my music and a few movies for traveling on that one. Before I bought it, I had a 20 GB that was always full. Now, what I do is have rock music on a shuffle that I use for biking or running. Audio Books are on an iPod Touch. The 20 GB unit is no longer used (given away) and replaced with the 160 that holds just about everything else.
The MacBook is limited by the size of the hard disk. Many people with have their entire iTunes library on an external USB or Firewire hard drive and have iTunes map to that. Remember that this is not truly a backup (if the library is only on one drive, it is not a backup, nor should the iPod/iPhone/iPad/etc. be considered a backup)
If you have the means to have another device, I would agree that splitting your music by genre on each device is the way to go. I've known people that sort their music on devices by artist, album, etc. As long as you find a way that works for you.

How do I enter music from MacBook to 2 GB memory card in my LG Dare

How do I enter music from MacBook to 2 GB memory card in my LG Dare? I formatted the SanDisk memory card to the phone and connected phone to MacBook. How do I get music from iTunes on my MacBook to disk on my Dare?

Look in the Finder's sidebar or on the desktop. If the manufacturer only allows its own software to connect to the card, consult its documentation.

How can i get a macbook with the configration i want from apple retail store so that i can benefit from tax free service at the airport ?

hi all, i just want to know how can i get a MacBook pro with the configuration i want from apple retail store (in Munich) and not by order it online because in this case i will not be able to benefit from Global blue service for tax free from the airport when i leave Germany.
thanks in advance.

You should have probably found out more specifically from the Apple Store just how you could do it online. The obvious solution is to order it from the Apple Danish website store, but I don't know if they ship internationally.

Limited storage in iPhone so i bought 20g iCloud. how can i use this iCloud storage in my device to store music and photos?

I have a limited storage in iPhone so i bought 20g iCloud. how can i use this iCloud storage in my device to store music and photos?

Welcome to the Apple Community.
You could sign up for iTunes match and use iCloud photo library with optimisation enabled. The later will keep optimised photos on your device and iTunes match will let you access your whole collection and make room for newer content by removing older unplayed items.

Reinstall Lion over your present installation. Re-boot while holding down Command + R, reinstall Lion. This should not touch any data or settings, but backup first.

How do I store music on my ipad and use music match?

Using an iPad2 with Music Match, how can I store music on my iPad as well?
Using iTunes 11, I no longer seem to have the ability add music to my iPad. If I try to manually drag and drop them onto my iPad an error says " Some of the files were not copied to the iPad because iTunes Match is enabled on this iPad."
I travel for a living and discovered on Thursday whilst on a plane that I no longer have music on my iPad and whilst on an international flight, there was no way of accessing "my iCloud" from within the real clouds!!"
I would like to be able to store music on my iPad for when I am offline, and still access my other music when I am online.
Is this possible and if so how ? All assistance appreciated!

Thank you so much for the response. This half sorts out my issue, as turning off Musicmatch means I can load music onto my iPad, but the minute I turn it back on to access my library whilst travelling I will lose what I have loaded as it comes up saying " all music will be erased".
I really apprecaite your time, so will just have to live with what I load. Seems weird that Apple wouldn't consider people want to listen to music on planes or in Non - wifi zones??
Thanks again!

How to store your macbook?

I'm headed off to Basic Training this summer for the Army. I'll be gone for 13 weeks, and i was wondering, what's the best way to store your Macbook, for that period of time?

Read these:
Apple - Batteries - Notebooks in which Apple specifically recommends discharging to 50% for long-term storage.
How to store batteries which states, "While lead-acid batteries must always be kept at full charge, nickel and lithium-based chemistries should be stored at 40% state-of-charge (SoC). This level minimizes age-related capacity loss, yet keeps the battery in operating condition even with some self-discharge."
Recommended storage temperature is 69ºF (15ºC).
