  • Transfering Music from PC to Mac, but music does not appear.

    I recently purchased a Macbook for personal use. I wanted to transfer my iTunes from my old Dell desktop onto the new Macbook. I followed the instructions on the Apple site to transfer music from an old computer to a new one using the iPod. Everything worked, until the finale step; I attempted to transfer the iTunes folder from the iPod to the music folder on the Macbook. It seemed to be working, but when I opened iTunes, the music was not there. I restarted the computer and still the music did not appear.
    What should I do to fix this problem? Do I need to reformat my iPod from PC to Mac to transfer the music? On the instructions page, it did not say whether I needed to reformat the iPod or not, so I just followed the instructions. Please help if you can.

    Yes, and the music trasferred, I can see it in the folder, but it's not displayed in iTunes.

  • I think i dowloaded a video from MAC but cannot find it on the IPAd, help.

    Video ison my MAC and when  i sync my IPAD it shows the vidoe in on the Ipad, but i cannot find it.

    Hello Cargomsgt,
    It sounds like you downloaded an app onto your computer and did not find it on your iPad or your computer after syncing your iPad. When you purchase iOS apps on a computer, and you want it to sync to your ios device, you need to install the app onto the devie using iTunes.  The following article will help you with that:

    http://support.apple.com/kb/PH12115
    You can also download the app to the iPad directly from the App Store on the it:

  • Everything frozen when trying to move music from ipod to mac. Cannot eject.

    My hard drive recently crashed, and as a result I lost all of my music. I had most of it on my iPod, so today I downloaded a program called iPod Viewer 3.0.1
    ( http://download.cnet.com/iPod-Viewer/3000-18545_4-24961.html?tag=mncol )
    I put my iPod (30gig iPod Video) into disk mode, and connected it, and began to transfer my music. About a tenth of the way through, the program froze. I pressed "Cancel," and eventually hit "Force Quit."
    I had been importing the music into the iTunes Music folder.
    Now, iTunes won't open, the program iPod Viewer won't start working again, and I cannot properly eject my iPod. Neither program is running, but when I try to press "Eject," Finder tells me that the iPod is in use and cannot be ejected, and I need to quit applications and try again.
    Help?

    See turingtest2's user tip on Recover your iTunes library from your iPod or iOS device for information on various 3rd party tools that can be used to recover content from iDevices to iTunes.  You can also achieve a partial recovery (media only, possibly without artwork), as follows:
    Run iTunes with your iPod not connected, select Edit > Preferences > Devices and check the Prevent iPods, iPhones, and iPads from syncing automatically box
    Connect your iPod, select the Summary tab and check the Enable disk use box
    Exit iTunes
    You should now be able to see your iPod as a disc drive in Windows Explorer.  Make sure that you've configured Windows to show hidden files and folders (Organize > Folder Search and Options, View tab).
    Open the iPod_Control folder on your iPod, and copy the Music folder that you'll see there to your desktop
    Still using Windows Explorer, right click on the Music folder just copied to your desktop and make sure that both the Read-only and Hidden flags are cleared.
    Run iTunes, select File > Add Folder to Library..., navigate to and select the Music folder on your desktop
    The previous content of your iPod should now be added to your library.  Any songs/albums for which you'd previously used the Get Album Artwork function will no longer have associated images, but these should be easily redone.
    This should be regarded as an "emergency" procedure only.  There's no excuse for not maintaining an up to date backup of your iTunes library (as with any data that you value) - computers, and in particular hard drives, always fail ... you just don't know when it's going to happen.  See another of tt2's user tips - Backup your iTunes for Windows library with SyncToy - for a suitable/recommended method.  Although cloud-based backups are the way things are headed, its probably still simpler to use an external hard drive - this may not be as high-tech as using the cloud but is more robust, at least as far as not having dependence on an internet connection.

  • Hi, all.  I am looking for a piece of music on the iTunes store but cannot find it at all!

    Hi, its called Gassenhaur (i think lol) by Carl Orff, heres a youtube link to the piece of music im looking for
    http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=K7PotgU3Yms
    Oh, and i dont want the version from True Romance, I already have that ;0)

    Not all music is available in iTunes, Apple can only sell in a particular country what the record companies have granted them licenses to sell. If it's not in your country's store then is it available on other music purchase download sites that you have access to ?

    I used "Migration Assistant" to send everything from my old mac to my new which included my copy of Adobe Acrobat 8 Professional. I tried downloading an update but when it asked me to find the version of acrobat to replace it was grayed out and I was unable to select it. My OS is 10.9.4

  • Hi, I migrated from PC to Mac, but I can't find some files I had in the PC, this files were invisible but just before migrating I switched off the "hidden" option, ¿Does this files migrated as hidden files or they didn't migrated?

    Hi, I migrated from PC to Mac, but I can't find some files I had in the PC, this files were invisible because I had them as hidden but just before migrating I switched off the "hidden" option, ¿Does this files migrated as hidden files or they didn't migrated?

    If the filename starts with a dot (.thisfile), then it will be hidden on the Mac.
    You can use a 3rd party App, such as EasyFind to search for the file on your Mac, and then re-name (remove the dot)

  • HT1473 I am trying to upload my itunes music from my ipod to my computer.  My current Itunes library is listing the songs, but cannot find them when I try to put them on to my iphone.

    I am trying to upload my itunes music from my ipod to my itunes on my computer.  My itunes music lists all of the music, but cannot find it when I try to load it to my phone.
    The songs are on my ipod, but not on my phone and I don't know how to get them from one device to the other.

    In your case, it would be better to have transferred the library to an external drive from the PC. Then, connect it to the iMac and put the library onto the Music folder.
    You used Migration Assistant, and it creates a new user with the transferred data.
    Open  > Log Out, and log in the new user. Then, open a Finder window, choose Music in the sidebar and you will see the iTunes library. Now, you have to move the iTunes library to /Users/Shared (select Go menu -in the menu bar- > Go to Folder, type that and copy the iTunes library to it). Finally, log in the other user, go to the same folder and move the library to the Music folder.
    After doing that, open System Preferences > Users and Groups, choose the user created by Migration Assistant and press the - button to remove it. This is easier if you have an external drive

  • Downloaded tv show episodes. Bought the entire season and after watching one and downloaded first 4-5 they disappeared.  This was during the time I was trying to migrate stuff from an older mac mini. Help?

    I downloaded several episodes of the tv show "touch."  I purchased the entire season and had watched one show.  It took quite some time for each show to download, but I had downloaded 4-5. 
    About this time (within the last two weeks) I was trying to use migration assistant to migrate information from my older mac mini and my macbook.  while I was able to move things from my older mac mini I noticed that the tv show went missing. 
    Also I purchased a program called 'Touched" in a season pass.  After I downloaded a couple of episodes I watched one and continued to download the episodes as they were available. 
    I also purchased a program called "Tune Up" which elminates duplicates of iTunes songs.  I have a large collection and this helped to get rid of the duplicates faster than clicking on them one at a time.  Maybe this had something to do with the tv shows episodes and the podcasts disapeering. 
    Any ideas?

    This may help

    As far as the TV series being in 1080p then that is upto the content provider and some older seasons are in 720p or only SD eg Stargate
    It may well be that the season you want is only available in 720p
