HT1751 Help with importing itunes playlists from an older OS?

I tried the steps here: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1751 for importing my older playlists from time machine, but got this in response: "The file “iTunes Library.itl” cannot be imported because it does not appear to be a valid exported file."
Old OS was 10.5.x, now have Mavericks, think that might have something to do with it.
Please help?
Thanks..

My OS is SunOS 5.8 and the OS that the core file was
created with is SunOS 5.5.1. The program that created
the core file was compiled with debug flags on my
machine and then shipped to the client's machine. I
have all the source code and the .o files, but I can't
seem to read the core.If I understand correctly, you're compiling on Solaris 8 and
then running the resulting executable on a Solaris 2.5.1 system.
This is not supported. Sometimes you get away with it for a while,
particularly if you're only going one release backwards, but
I'd be surprised if it would ever work going that far back.
To the original point, in addition to your own objects, the 2.5.1
system's shared libraries are also required for complete debugging.
That's why it's complaining "Object file is not the same one that was
linked into executable."

Can you import iTunes playlists from iPod?

I have moved my iTunes library off my computer and onto an external hard drive and somehow in the process have lost my playlist. (I didn't do a good job of moving over, had to basically download everything back from the cloud). So my music is all there but not my playlists. If I have my playlists on an iPod, can I import them into my new iTunes library from my iPod? If I plug in my iPod will it sync with library and will I lose all my playlists??

umm

Can someone help with moving iTunes & iPhoto from a external harddrive to my new computer?

I got my new computer 3 days ago. I'm loving it so far. My question is...I have an external harddrive that I was using as my backup for my old computer. It was running OS X 10.4 My new computer is 10.8.2. I have no idea how to get the info for iTunes or iPhoto off of my external drive. I've never had to do that before so I'm a little lost.
Thank you for your time.

Migrating from an older Mac OS to a newer one is usually smooth (not vice-versa, there may be problems). Depending on the app used for backup, you may use it in the reverse order (you used to to backup, it must have a restore function).
Alternatively, you may simply copy the iTunes and iPhoto folders into ~/Users/logged in user/Library/Music and ..../Pictures, respectively.
You may also continue to use the folders on the external drive by pressing Option/Alt key upon starting iPhoto and iTunes. You can do that any time you wish to keep these folders in another location than the default one. See screenshots below.
If not clear, please come back with details.

Help with Accessing iTunes Library from both Mac and PC

Hi All
I'm new to this community and new(ish) to the world of Mac.
At home we share a single iTunes Library stored on a NAS Drive across 4 different Windows PC's (Mine, My Wifes and the 2 kids). I have recetly got myself a MacBook Pro and hoped to hook it up to our central iTunes library.
I was pleased to see that the Library opened but sadly none of the songs can be located and I get the dreaded grey symbol against tracks if I try and play them.
On further investigation it would appear to be a naming convention issue. The iTunes Library is expecting to see each song in the following location:
file://localhost/Volumes/Music/iTunes Library/iTunes Media/Music/Artist/Album/song.mp3
The problem is the localhost element as the mac sees the same location as:
file://Volumes/Music/iTunes Library/iTunes Media/Music/Artist/Album/song.mp3
Is there anyway of harmonising between the 2 systems? or am I asking the impossible.
Many Thanks .... Blue

Thanks Jim
That does make sense.
BUT ... have been doing some more investigation and it appears that my Windows iTunes is displaying the same symptoms and the tracks have lost connection with the iTunes Library.
I'm now very confused ....
I take it what I am trying to do IS possible?
Any other suggestions.
Many Thanks .... Blue

Help with Importing Photo Albums from Iphoto

I have created a bunch of albums in iphoto and wish to transfer them to my ipod. However, when i go to the photos tab of itunes when my ipod is plugged in and i try to select Sync from Iphoto it says that i have 0 photos in iphoto. i have tried selecting individual folders of photos to import and that works just fine, but i want to be able to select the albums that i already created in iphoto.
thanks for your help

Apologies, you're right, it should be albumdata.xml.
Have a read of this thread:
http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=778068&tstart=0
About 2/3'rds of the way down, DaveE has the following post:
- View your albumdata.xml file in some text editor, like TextEdit.
- Do a Find (cmd f) for "List of Keywords"
- The XML under that looks kind of like this:
<dict>
<key>1</key>
<string>Favorite</string>
<key>6</key>
<string>Birthday</string>
<key>3</key>
</dict>
You will probably have more keywords, this is just an example. But see the format - everything that has <something> ends with </something>.
When I had the problem, the example above looked like:
<dict>
<key>1</key>
<string>Favorite <key>6</key>
<string>Birthday</string>
<key>3</key>
</dict>
Notice the line return and </string> are missing for "Favorite". This happened to one of my keywords, and I don't know what caused it, but I deleted that keyword (and the one after it) from within iPhoto's preferences, and typed them in again.
The problem went away. Maybe some bogus character got into the keywords to make the XML go bad.
So try to use the method above to identify which keyword might have a problem, rather than go on a witch hunt and waste a lot of time. Of course, your problem could be different from mine entirely, but my iLife apps had the same problem you described.
Try it and see if it helps.

Help with importing .mov file from iphoto

I have a casio exilim ex-z1080 digital camera. I have imported the jpg and mov files into iphoto, but can't seem to get it to import into imovie. i read a similar post to mine but could not understand. can anyone help in lay person's terms?
how do i get imovie to recognize the file?

What do you think is the best program to do this? is it QuickTime?
You can use MPEG Streamclip (free), GarageBand (part of iLife), or QT Pro ($30). Each will allow you to convert to any of the iMovie '08 compatible compression formats. (Just avoid Apple Animation and Apple Video which import and edit but do not export properly.) For simplicity, I would normally use use MPEG and convert to DV. This work flow produces a file that can be handled by almost any video editor and, since the format is very standardized, leaves few settings for the use to enter. All you really ned do is select the "Export to DV" File menu option, select any of the compression pop-ups (default DV25 is okay), enter your standard (NTSC or PAL), and set your aspect ratio (either 4:3 or 16:9). It is also a good habit to resample the audio to 48 Khz for consistency. Other that that, you can generally ignore the other settings. (You can also make adjustments to volume, brightness, contrast, and saturation as part of the conversion, but this isn't necessary if you are going to edit in iMovie '08 anyway.) The nice thing about this application is that it sets the anamorphic flag as part of your conversion which iMovie '08 uses in conjunction with the project properties to properly preview (or pad for preview when aspect of project does not match aspect of source file) and to set proper export dimensions (padded or otherwise) for the project aspect ratio output.

Help with imported eps files from photoshop and illustrator using PANTONE

I am new to InDesign and running into some very frustrating issues. I am preparing a catalogue for print which was created in Quark XPress previously. I tried converting it initially but had all kinds of strange things happening with type re-wrapping. The printer advised to recreate in InDesign. FIne by me because I'll learn as I go along.
So I created a page in InDesign and place and eps file created in Illustrator using a spot Pantone color and a halftone created in Photoshop also using the same spot Pantone color. In InDesign the color swatch menu show both colors one as 228 C and the other as 228 C 1. How do I get just one definition for PMS228 coated that works across all three programs? Stuff like this pisses me off. Adobe should have one definition across all three.
Help!!!

My best guess for the two definitions is that the CMYK values of the colours do not match, so InDesign treats them separately. You can merge them using the In Manager. Open the Swatches panel and select Ink Manager from the flyout menu. Select PANTONE 228C 1, go to the Ink Alais pop-up menu, and select PANTONE 228. Now InDesign will treat the two colours as one separation on output.
You should also take the time to open each graphic and resave as a native file. This means .psd for Photoshop and .ai for Illustrator. While there, see if you can make sure the colour names and definitions are consistent.

Help with moving iTunes files from windows.old to reinstalled Vista.

I had to reinstall Vista and iTunes. I have found what I believe are my iTunes music files (.lib)
When trying to add these files to the newly installed iTunes, they will not add. Please help me. I do not want to sync my iPhone or my wife's iPhone and risk erasing all the songs we have on them.
Thank you in advance for your help.

Help with importing Mail messages from cloned system

I decided to format and reinstall Snow Leopard on my iMac. Before I did, I backed everything up and, following Apples instructions, thought I had saved all my mail messages etc. It didnt work, or at least, I couldnt get it to work!
So, I need help getting my messages back.
I have Time Machine on an external firewire drive but cant access backups earlier than my recent new install. I also have a clone of my old installation on an external ( USB) drive that I can boot to that contains all of the earlier Mail messages I want.
How can I move the mail messages from that account to my new installation?
Allan

I was able to resolve the matter from an extra found on the MS Office CD. Thank you.

Import a playlist from Spotify to buy the songs on iTunes? Why isn't there an easy way to do this? Low hanging fruit Apple.

Yeah, once people get hooked on streaming music, they tend to be much less interested in purchasing downloads, and especially not from a music store that sells songs in an inconvenient (AAC) format instead of the de facto standard, MP3 format.
However, let me not deter you. If you would like to make the suggestion to Apple, you can use the iTunes Feedback page:

HT1347 how do I import a playlist from my iPad to my itunes library on my computer please

Hi can someone please tell me how I can import a playlist from my iPad to my iTunes library on my computer please?

Itunes will only accept mp4 or m4v files. If the file is not this format either rerip it and convert to m4v or mp4 depending on your conversion software. You will also need to tag it explicitly as a movie so it ends up in the right place.
Personally I use Subler for that as it enables me to set The HD setting that shows up in itunes

Lost iTunes playlists from my iPhone 5

I suddenly lost my iTunes playlists from my iphone 5. I have not upgraded to ioS 7.1 for two reasons--I don't like the layout, and I only have 1.2 GB of the required 4.1 GB free. Please help!! I have all my songs still in my library on my phone, along with everything except for my playlists. I hope they are hidden, not deleted. Everything is intact on my iTunes account on my desktop computer.

Try a reset by pressing and holding the home and power buttons until the white Apple logo appears. No data will be lost.
All playlists and content should be in iTunes on the computer, if nothing else, sync the device to the computer.

That's irrelevant.

There is no free space requirement to update the device via iTunes on the computer. This is also the preferred method to update iOS.

Now how do I transfer my dell iTunes playlists from my dell to my iMac, as they are showing on the iMac when I plug in my iPod but it's not allowing to me to play them as they are shaded? I have also separately transferred all my music via my external drive from my dell to my iMac which is showing in iTunes but won't upload to my iPod... Just to confuse you even more my AppleTV which is linked to my log in email address and home sharing is showing and playing all the playlists I want to see on my iMac... Phew that was exhausting hope you understand and can help me:-)

You may have transferred all your songs, but your iPad is seeing the library as a different entity.

Importing iTunes Library from Older iBook to New iMac

My old iBook (700 MHz G3) had a severe hard drive failure, but I did manage to transfer via firewire the entire MUSIC folder and the entire PICTURES folder, as well other data I needed.
The question remains: How do I import the iTunes Library from the older iBook into the new iMac iTunes Library? As far as I can tell, I have to do it song by song. That can't be right.
Any ideas?

If you copied your entire itunes folder from your old mac you can copy it to your new mac. The key is the library (xml) file.
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=93732
You need the library (xml) file also. When you open iTunes you might have to tell it where the xml file is.

I used the same process to transfer the music library from my old mac to my new one.
Hope this helps.
