HT4413 migration from a PC to a Mac. my migration keeps freezing if the screensaver goes on. I have been trying to transfer my photos and music for almost 24 hours with no results :(
Hi. My wonderful hubby surprised me with a new MacBook Pro last night (he will be deploying soon and won't be home for the holidays, valentines day, my birthday or our anniversary)! I have a great camera and a TON of photos on my laptop that I don't want to lose. So I downloaded the migration software to my Asus and it starts out just fine and then freezes around the 1 hr and 48 minutes left. I have changed the energy settings so that it doesn't sleep, but still likes to freeze. I'm not sure if it has something to do with the screen saver? Can someone help this new Mac user? I feel like I'm learning a new language!
You have posted to the older PPC iMac forum. You need to poster to a newer iMac forum.

I recently bought a new i phone 4 as my other one had seen beter days and for the last sevral days have been trying to transfer my photos ect from my old phone to my new one after I've plugged my old iPhone into iTunes to back it up i then plug in my one to transfer it over I've had no luck I've tryed restoring my new phone to the last time i backed up my old files the phone restores but always to its own backup point wen i first connected it to iTunes can anyone help me please?
Since this is the second computer you've had this problem with, I recommend you look for answers on the iPhone forum. My thinking is it is an iPhone issue rather than a computer issue (unless it is some software incompatibility).

I am trying to transfer all my photos, documents, and music from my previous Mac to my new one and this new one can barely hold any of the files. Why would that be happening? What can I do to have all of my documents avalaible to me?
what is the storage capacity of the Air and how much is available, and what is the size of all the items your are trying to transfer?

HI, i bought my i touch 4th gen from the philippines, and i transferred here in the US. i would like to purchase an application here in the US but i wont allow me to. and i have been trying to change my address and country but it wont let me too.
What happens when you change your address in your iTunes account? You also have to have a payment method associated with the USA, For example gift cards are restricted to the country of their purchase.

How do I transfer all photos and music from my old iphone 3gs to new iphone 4s? I have a new laptop because the old one broke and so do not have non camera roll photos or music stored anywhere apart from the iphone 3gs and cannot update io5 on the iphone 3gs without erasibng everything. i need help!!!
Syncing to a new iTunes library or computer will erase your phone. Only if you back up manually before syncing, you can restore your device from that backup again. A manual backup does not include the sync process.
Do this:
Disable autosync in iTunes, connect your phone to your new computer and right click on it in the device list and choose backup. iTunes will backup your device without syncing.
Transfer your purchases the same way, choosing "transfer purchases" this time.
When you connect your phone for the first time, all media content will be erased. But you can restore your settings and app data from your manual backup afterwards.
Don't forget to set up at least one contact and event on your new computer to be able to merge calendars and contacts when you sync the iPhone for the first time.
Music is one way only, from the computer to your device, unless you bought the songs in itunes and transferred your purchases.
There is 3rd party software out there, but not supported by Apple, see this thread: http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=2013615&tstart=0

How can I transfer my photos and music from my iphone 4 to my new iphone6
How can I transfer my photos and music from my IPhone 4 to my IPhone 6 ?
if the music was downloaded via iTunes you will be able to access it from iCloud when you set up the new device. other music that was synced to the iPhone would need to be synced to the new iPhone from the computer that you used to sync the iPhone 4.
photos can be transferred via the following method.
plug iPhone 4 into iTunes on computer. select back up to computer.
Plug in the iPhone 6 and press restore. when setting up the iPhone press restore from iTunes. plug into computer and a complete copy of the iPhone 4 will be put onto the iPhone 6. except for the music...(you will have to download your apps again from App Store but you can find them all under the purchased tab on App Store. you won't have to pay for the apps again)
please note this will delete the current memory on iPhone 6 -

How do I transfer my photos and music from windows format iPod to my new iMac
I have just purchased a new imac and want to transfer my photo's and music from my windows formatted ipod to the imac, can you help? is there a download that can do this transfer?
Fortunately, you are going from Windows to Mac. Macs can use the Windows disk format, so your iMac can read data off of your Windows-formatted iPod. The reverse would not be true, because a Windows PC cannot read data off of a Mac-formatted iPod.
However, iTunes syncing is generally in one direction only, from the computer's iTunes library to the iPod. You cannot use iTunes to sync song files from iPod to computer. But there are third-party methods and utilities that can transfer song files from iPod to computer. If you do an Internet search on something like "ipod transfer," you should get some links. (The CNET article seems to be popular.)
Once the songs files are on your iMac's drive, you can add them to your new iTunes library.
NOTE: Ideally, you should transfer your complete iTunes library from your old computer to your new computer. If that is possible (you still have access to your old computer with its iTunes library intact), and want to try that (instead of using your iPod as the data source), you can post back.
Photos are different. When iTunes syncs photos to the iPod, they are optimized for the iPod's small screen and stored in a single database file (to save storage space in iPod). Therefore, the images are at lower resolution on the iPod, and there is no way to extract individual photos from the database using software on your iMac. The only exception is IF you had a setting enabled in iTunes when you synced the photos to the iPod. That setting is on the iPod's Photos screen in iTunes (where you set up syncing for photos) for Include full resolution photos when syncing. If that option was checked, you can enable disk use for the iPod and look in the Photos folder using Finder to retrieve the photos.
NOTE: There may be third-party software that can extract individual photos from the iPod's database file. But they will still be the lower res versions of the original photos. -
I've been trying to update my Iphoto, Imovie and my Moutain Lion software to 10.8 for months. I keep getting a message to log into you account you purchase it with. THe software came with my computer therefore where do I go from here bc it will not update?
Use the Support link on the App Store. http://www.apple.com/support/mac/app-store/
As cbs20 alludes, if you didn't buy it new, those apps are registered with the previous owner. If you are the original owner, the support people should be able to help. -
After spending MANY hours creating a nearly 100 page photo book of our wedding, we were very upset to discover that the app crashes every time we try to actually order the book. Using an iPad 2. App will work right up to entering the cvs code on my credit card and then crash. You would think apple would be all over a problem that prevents users from spending over $100 to order an album. Been waiting to hear something / anything that will help.
At what point do we stop shooting in the dark and resign to the (what seems to be) fact that there is a problem with the app?
I thought, you want to rescue the work you invested into your wedding album? Confirming a problem with iPhoto will not rescue your book.
But iPhoto is just one component in a complex system - all parts have to work properly - the network, Apple's Print Products Store in your country (you are not in Australia, are you?), the settings and presets on your ipad, the system files, iPhoto, and the photos you are using.
I am quite confident in saying that there is not a data corruption issue with any of the photos. They are all photos of the same format taken from the same camera by the photographers at our wedding. Those photos were copied to my computer off of the DVDs and synced to my iPad.
And during this sync transmission errors may have occured. Browsing alone will not necessarily show you any data corruption because previews may be used and not the original image files. Only editing will use the originals.
I can't see the issue being an incomplete installation of iPhoto, as we have also created a couple scrapbooks and stuff just to play with, and also view over airplay. I can't see how an incomplete installation would allow all the functions of the app to work
The installation includes many ressource files, and one of these ressources may have been transferred incompletely. All may work properly, until you need the ressources required for assembling your book.
Then reinstalling can fix it.
At what point do we stop shooting in the dark
I prefer systematic troubleshooting to narrow down the problem to isolate the issue - why are you asking for our help, if you already have done so?
resign to the (what seems to be) fact that there is a problem with the app?
That is up to you, to decide when the evidence is conclusive - it is your book that you are giving up.
If you are convinced, that it is a bug in iPhoto, nothing will save your book but an iPhoto update with a bug fix. Then the only option will be to file a bug report, so the developers are notified. Posting here in a user forum or talking to Apple Geniusses will not ensure that:
Use this form: Apple - iPhoto - Feedback -
I keep getting an error message 3-4 days after I upload the book. I close all applications, save as a pdf and and buy the book. Still no product. Is this a common occurence or just me?
How did you save teh PDF? from this preview link -
Before ordering your book preview it using this method - http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1040 - and save the resulting PDF for reference - the delivered book will match it.

Please help!! It's driving me nuts. I've reinstalled the OS via the disc about 3 times so far, but haven't yet erased the drive (and am seriously considering doing so). I barely have any files on my HD because I run everything off of external drives (after losing a TON of stuff after my Mac crashed in the first 3 months of having it). I bought the computer in 2007 and was running Tiger. I passed on Leopard but gave in for Snow Leopard because I wanted an iPhone and iPad. When I installed SL, I had to reformat the HD and made it Journaled......it's been acting ******** ever since.
First you don't have a virus because none exist for OS X. So you can stop worrying about hat. If you recently got a warning about a Virus and accepted downloaded some software then you fell for a Trojan. Here is an article about that and how to rid yourself of it.
If you did not download anything like that then doing a Erase and Install would be the way to go. Here is a video that will show you exactly what to do. -
I don't know what's going on with my ipod it keeps saying can't connect to store when I try to download updates but I can still buy apps from the store???
Make sure your system time & date is set properly. If it is not, then move it backwards 2 months, then try to connect to the store. Good chance it will work then.
Change it back after again. -
What is the best way to transfer only Photos and Music from imac to imac?
hello i have an old 24" imac that is loaded down with iphoto pictures and itunes music. i recently got the new 27" imac and wish to only transfer the photos and music files to the new computer. i have a cloned hard drive of my old imac as well as a time capsule copy of it.
i don't want to just restore my entire old hard drive onto my new imac because there is a lot of junk on there i don't want on there. so, what is the easiest way to move just these two types of files? i don't know how to find these files and move them?
i know how to attach both imacs via firewire, i just don't know what is the best way to make the transfer of both these file types?
thank you!copy the folders /users/username/music/itunes and /users/username/pictures/iphoto library to the corresponding locations on the new install.
note: itunes and iphoto should not be running when you do this.
