How to to transfer protected files from one computer to another

i was wondering how to transfer protected files from my small computer and delete them to free up space and put the on my new larger comptuer.

Locate them in the Windows Explorer, move them to the new computer as you would any file, and then drag them into the open iTunes window. They can then be deleted from iTunes on the old computer.

  • How can i transfer iweb files from one computer to another?

    Hi,
    Recently my harddrive crashed and i had to rebuild my computer. I retreived most of my files but i cannot find where my iweb files are located. Does anyone know where iweb saves files or how to retreive my domain files from the web (if at all possible)?
    Thanks

    Unless you moved the Domain file, that's its default location. Make sure you're looking in the Library folder in your Home folder rather than Macintosh HD. See also THIS recent post.

  • Transfer iweb files from one computer to another

    Does anyone know how to transfer iweb files from one computer to another?

    Change the name of the file to Domain-2.sites2 and try to copy it to the Desktop on the new Mac.
    To open your domain file in Lion or Mountain Lion 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.
    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 compiled version with this link: iWeb Switch Domain.
    Just launch the application, find and select the domain file in your Home/Library/Application Support/iWeb folder that 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.
    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.
    NOTE: In Lion and Mountain Lion the Home/Library folder is now invisible. To make it permanently visible in Lion or Mt. Lion enter the following in the Terminal application window: chflags nohidden ~/Library and press the Return key - 10.7: Un-hide the User Library folder.
    For Mavericks, 10.9,  go to your Home folder and use the View ➙ Show View Optionsmenu to bring the this window:

    How do I transfer my bookmarks from one computer to another? I have Firefox Home on my phone and I can get them there, but I want to have the same bookmarks on my home computer as I do on my work computer. If I have a user name then where do I sign into Firefox, it should be that easy but I can't seem to figure it out.

    Hey susanneyes,
    Sounds like you want to set up Firefox Sync. This will allow you to keep all of your instances of Firefox synchronized. Just follow the steps in [https://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/what-firefox-sync?s=sync&r=0&as=s this article] and you'll be set.
    Hopefully this helps!

  • How to transfer music files from one computer to another

    Hello,
    I have home sharing enabled on both my mac and pc. I can't figure out for the life of me how to actually transfer
    songs from my mac to my pc with home sharing enabled. How do you do this?
    Step by step process please. I have the latest versions of Itunes installed on both machines.

    Hello clissmann,
    For the step by step of transfer music over using Home Sharing, take a look at the first article below. If you are stuck or having issues, then you may want to use another alternative like an external hard drive to copy that information over. The second article can help you out with that if you go that route.

  • How do I transfer paid apps from one computer to another?

    I downloaded iMovie codes to one machine that supervises iPads with Apple Configurator. I need those codes though on another machine now. Can I download the spreadsheet again on the other machine?

    Just copy them to an external drive, move the drive to the other computer and restore them.
    Re-download from your Purchases page on the App Store.
    Connect both computers to your home network and transfer using File Sharing.

  • How do I transfer my music from one computer to another?

    I just bought a new Mac. My iTunes library was on an external hard drive associated with my old Mac. When I import the music, it creates a large "unknown album" with music that was previously identified -- mostly WAV and AIFF files. How do I get iTunes to recognize the structure of my old library?

    Note that WAV files are special in that the track information is not embedded in them as tags.  When you move an individual WAV file the track data does not travel with it.  Anyway, what you really want to do in your situation is:
    iTunes: How to move [or copy] your music to a new computer [or another drive] - http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4527
    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.  Start iTunes with the option (shift on Windows) key held down and guide it to the new location of the library.
    With the above method your library will appear exactly as it was on your old computer.

  • How to transfer Keynote files from one computer to another?

    I been transferring files to my new mac from my old mac, and have found that the Keynote files don't open. Instead, I get error message -10660.
    How do I successfully transfer files?
    Thanks

    I'd suggest first creating an archive of the Keynote files (using Create Archive from the Finder's File menu), and see if those transfer properly.
    (According to the freeware app Error Codes, that error occurs when the app you are trying to run is in the Trash -- that's not the problem, is it?)

  • How to transfer site files from one computer to another?

    I've got a couple sites archived on my MacBook Pro that I'd like to move over to my iMac. Is there an easy way to do this that will retain all the site settings and so that the sites will show up in the site files window as I'm used to working with? (CS4)

    Yep, super easy too if you still have DW on the machine you are transferring from.
    1. Open DW on that machine, go to Site > Manage Sites > Export to create a .ste file for the site.
    2. Make a copy of the entire site folder for the site and put it on your new machine along with a copy of the .ste file.
    3. In DW on the new machine go to Site > Manage Sites > Import to import the .ste file
    3a. You "may" need to relink the site's root folder under Site > Manage Sites > Edit to point to the newly copied site folder on the new machine, but all the FTP info will be there from the import

  • How do i transfer itunes playlists from one computer to another?

    My old PC with Windows XP and iTunes died for good. Luckily library and playlists were save on and external hard drive shortly before. My newer Dell vostro 1520 laptop has Windows 7 and wish to instal my playlists from my external hard drive into a new iTunes 11.1.5.5. The library is too large to hold on the computer so must remain on my external drive and I've made the link in preferences. The iTunes I was using when I saved it was an older version (if there is a way to find out from the files I haven't found it). I wish to know how to transfer my extensive number of playlists, folders, and track allotment and order from my external drive to my Dell. I could experiment with moving the playlist folder but I have the knack for screwing up my system and that I would like to avoid.

    Here are typical layouts for the iTunes folders:
    Since things are already broken it might be best to create this layout first then use FindTracks to repair things. Ideally you would have a complete clone of the library on a second drive as a backup. You would have the library folder at the root of the drive and the media folder inside it. Connect to the library by shift-starting iTunes. If everything is in the normal layout iTunes may be able to heal itself if you attempt to get info and locate a missing file when prompted. Otherwise you would direct the script to start its search from ..\iTunes\iTunes Media.

  • How do I transfer my bookmarks from one computer to another. I have tried everything I can think of.

    I just got a new Dell laptop and downloaded Firefox before I transferred files using Microsoft's Easy Transfer program. Everything transferred fine except my bookmarks and the toolbar. They didn't go into Internet Explorer either.

    For Firefox bookmarks:
    Bookmarks > Show All Bookmarks -> Import & Backup - Export HTML... - to a USB stick <br />
    ''then'' <br />
    Bookmarks > Show All Bookmarks -> Import & Backup - Import HTML... - from file on that USB stick

  • How can I transfer an iPhone from one computer to another?

    Hi all!
    So, I got my boyfriend an iPhone 4 last year and his computer was so outdated that he could not sync it with his computer.  We recently upgraded to Snow Leopard (no Lion for us yet) for both his and my computer and now he can sync his phone with his own computer.  Before, he could not back up his contacts in his address book, or his calendar, etc.  So anyway, when I plug in his phone to the computer, it recognizes it, but will not allow me to create a backup in his iTunes.  It will also not let me "assign" the phone to the computer.  Any suggestions?  Also, even if I do a complete restore, how can I add the stuff backed up to his iCloud once it's restored?  Any help would be great.  Thanks!
