HT4796 how do i transfer all my content from one windows 7 laptop to another?

i think ive transferred all the content correctly, but the music is asking to locate the file when i click on it.  how do i finish the migration so the titles are seeing the content?

Are you trying to transfer to a Mac or a Windows computer? Migration Assistant will usually transfer your Windows user account. Look in System Preferences/Users & Groups to see if that happened. If so, the files are probably in there. Login as the Windows User and see if you can find them.
If you can, drag the files/copy to the Mac Admin users Public box located at the Hard Drive Level/Users or to the Shared folder in the same location. You can then log in as the Mac user and put them in the correct place in your home folder.

  • How can I transfer all iTunes purchases from one apple id to another

    How can I transfer all iTunes purchases from one apple id to another?

    Don't agree. I have two accounts, one for work which I set up years ago and bought a few tracks. I've recently bought iPhone and iPad and created a home ID and wanted to transfer the old purchaces. Everyone says it can't be done, but I've done it.
    1. on the iPhone/iPad change your "store" Apple ID to the one you want ot transfer from.
    2. go into iTune on the device and download the purchaces.
    3. on you PC/Mac change the iTunes login to the same as the device's ID
    4. sync your device
    5. change both ID's back and the purchaces stay on both iTunes and your device.
    Delmar,
    The procedure you describe is putting content from two different IDs into a single library, which can readily be done.
    However, each item of purchased content will still be tied to the ID from which it was originally purchased, and they will be treated separately for purposes of Cloud, Match, Purchase History, etc.

    I needed to create a new account and want all of my files accessible in the new one.

    ok, what you're learning right now is 101 unix, which is good. Unix is a good thing
    now: the way unix works, and macos (which uses unix underneath) the files and folders work like a hierarchy.
    the start of that tree is /
    so, if you were to do:
    cd /
    (cd means change directory)
    it will bring you at the highest branch of the file system.
    cd /Users
    will bring you to where all the users are.
    to see whats in /Users you can use your friend ls command
    ls means list files/directories
    so:
    cd /Users
    ls -la
    (the -la here means show all (even hidden) and long format (very verbose))  this flag is very optional.
    you will see
    fred
    user2
    for example.
    if you want to see the desktop of user2 you would change directory to it then list the files.
    for example:
    cd /Users/user2/Desktop
    Note that the files and directory are case sensitive, so, desktop is NOT the same as Desktop, or DESKTOP
    ls -la
    you should then be able to see everything in users2 desktop
    you could have done as well the same thing in smaller steps, for example:
    cd /
    cd Users
    cd user2
    cd Desktop
    this is the equivalent of cd /Users/user2/Desktop
    So, for your file, i don't know where it was, but know that if you log in as user2, it will directly put you in
    /Users/user2
    which most likely the file you had created from the other user was in /Users/user1
    if you copied all the files from /Users/original_user to /Users/secondUser
    most likely yes, all your mail, bookmarks etc would be copied over.
    so in your case.
    sudo chown -R seconduser:staff /Users/secondUser
    should work
    Remember that if you start a path with the character /  it means start from the root of the file system, at the highest top you can ever get.
    so
    cd /Users/fred
    is not the same as
    cd Users/fred
    unless you were in / already
    i know it may be confusing at first but it's actually very logical if you play with it.
    to simplify, think of it that / means C:\  on windows
    you can't go any higher than C:\  (in a way)
    if you're unsure which directory you're currently in, you can always type:
    pwd
    it will tell you where you are.
    for example:
    cd /
    pwd
    this shows  /
    cd Users
    pwd
    this now shows /Users
    cd /System/Library
    pwd will show /System/Library
    cd /
    cd /Users
    cd fred
    cd Library
    pwd will show /Users/fred/Library
    unix can look very scary but it's actually vital and very necessary to do tasks sometimes that would take for ever to do via the windows. This is good learning.
    so for the myfile you had created, i can't tell you where it is, at the time you created, if you can do a pwd command you'll know the path,
    ls -la  (this shows all the files where you are)
    if you see myfile in the list
    do a pwd
    whatever is return, the real location of the file would be:
    whatever pwd returned / myfile
    I hope that makes sense.

  • Can you transfer all your content from one computer to another?

    We have a slower computer and a faster one and all our music and apps are on the slower one.  Is there any way to transfer all our stuff from one to the other?

    These are two possible approaches that will normally work to move an existing library to a new computer.
    Method 1
    Backup the library with this User Tip.
    Deauthorize the old computer if you no longer want to access protected content on it.
    Restore the backup to your new computer using the same tool used to back it up.
    Keep your backup up-to-date in future.
    Method 2
    Connect the two computers to the same network. Share your <User's Music> folder from the old computer and copy the entire iTunes library folder into the <User's Music> folder on the new one. Again, deauthorize the old computer if no longer required.
    Both methods should give the new computer a working clone of the library that was on the old one. As far as iTunes is concerned this is still the "home" library for your devices so you shouldn't have any issues with iTunes wanting to erase and reload.
    I'd recommend method 1 since it establishes an ongoing backup for your library.
    If you have an iOS device that syncs with contact & calendar data on your computer you should migrate this information too. If that isn't possible create a dummy entry of each type in your new profile and iTunes should offer to merge the existing data from the device into the computer, otherwise the danger is that it will wipe the information from the device.
    If your media folder has been split out from the main iTunes folder you may need to do some preparatory work to make it easier to move. See make a split library portable.
    Should you be in the unfortunate position where you are no longer able to access your original library, or a backup of it, then see Recover your iTunes library from your iPod or iOS device for advice on how to set up your devices with a new library with the maximum preservation of data.

  • How do I transfer all the content from my old 3rd gen to my new 4th gen iTouch, including apps and notes. I replaced an old 2nd gen with the 3rd last year and lost all my contacts and notes.

    What's the best way to transfer all the content, including notes and apps, from my old 3rd gen to my new 4th gen. When I replaced my last iTouch with the 3rd gen I lost all my contacts and notes.

    Backup the 3g by syncing in iTunes. Then connect the new one and sync everything to it from your backup.

    hello Lawrence1559, firefox does save all your bookmarks, settings and customizations into the so called [[Profiles - Where Firefox stores your bookmarks, passwords and other user data|profile folder]] .
    <br>you can copy the whole profile folder on your win xp computer like this:
    * press the windows-key+R and open: ''%appdata%\''
    * a windows explorer windows will open up with a folder named ''Mozilla'' in it - right-click and copy that folder and paste it onto a usb drive or any other way you can transfer it to your new computer.
    * on the windows 7 pc, repeat the windows-key+R shortcut and open: ''%appdata%\'' again.
    *copy the Mozilla folder from your backup into the %appdata% folder of your new pc.
    *you can now download and install firefox from getfirefox.com and should have the exact same setup as on your prior pc afterwards.

  • How do I transfer a gift certificate from one country's ITMS to another's?

    I have received a gift certificate for the Canadian ITMS from my sister, but I live in Germany. I can neither log in to the Canadian store, nor use the gift certificate in Germany. How do I transfer it?
    Thanks,
    Carsten

    Having Apple transfer a somehow equivalent sum to my country is just as good, and doesn't involve any music industry company.
    Yes it does because when you purchase a gift card, the money goes to the music industry.
    Send them an email and let them know you would like it changed.

  • How do i transfer my itunes music from one computer to itunes on another

    Tell me how to in easy steps with a pen drive

    Hi Chris
    well, i copied everything from itunes onto my ipod. I made playlists on my itunes and had an option to sync playlists which was easily done.
    When i take my ipod onto another computer, i dont know how to transfer the music. All my playlists appear from the administrators but i cant copy and paste them in the music library, and even the click transfer purchases does not work. ( all these songs in playlists are not purchased. My friend had a dvd of mp3 which i took from him - is that why it does not work ? )

  • How do I transfer my iTunes music from one internal hard drive to another internal hard drive without having to locate every song?

    So I have two internal hard drives in my laptop but the hard drive that my music is on is running out of space. I want to transfer my music from the smaller hard drive to the larger hard drive so my computer can run faster. If I do this I'm afraid I'm going to have to locate every song within the iTunes library. Is there a way around it so I won't have to go in my files and locate every song? Any help would be greatly appreciated!

    Instead of moving the entire iTunes folder you can copy it, then do the Shift-launch trick to select the .itl file from its new location.  If it works, then go back and delete the original location.
    But maybe clarify your configuration ... specifically, is your "iTunes Library.itl" file currently on the same drive that your music files are stored on?  Or, do you keep your .itl file on a separate drive than the native files?  If the .itl file is on a separate drive right now, then moving or copying the music files over to be on the same drive can result in iTunes not knowing where your native files went.  You can get around that using the Consolidate utility in iTunes, but that is not necessary if the .itl file lives with the music files.

  • Can I transfer a hard drive from one macbook pro laptop to another?

    I have a 2009 Macbook pro with a cracked screen and a messed up track pad (laptop A), but a fully functional hard drive. I have another 2009 Macbook pro (laptop B) with a blown hard drive, but everything else seems to be fine.
    I removed the blown hitachi 320 hard drive from laptop B and set it aside. Then I removed the seemingly good Seagate 500 hard drive from laptop A and put it into laptop B. When I turn on Laptop B with the hard drive in it I get the folder with the question mark screen.
    HELP. I am not tech savvy at all. But I can follow directions. Thanks.

    *Please let me know if you need additional information from me.

    Restart the computer with the Option key held down.
    If you see the drive, click on it and then select it in the Startup Disk pane of System Preferences.
    If you don’t, insert a Mac OS X install DVD, press C if needed, and either repair the drive or install an OS onto it.

  • How do I transfer all my data from my original iPad 1 to my new iPad Air?

    How do I transfer all my data from my original iPad 1 to my new iPad Air?

    Do a full sync and backup of your one. I use iTunes for all my backing up. Then unplug the one and plug in the Air. Go through the setup process and when you have the choice to 'set up as new or restore from backup' chooose the the restore and your air will be a near clone of your One. You will need to reset up wifi and website passwords, but the data should be there.
    Once you are sure the Air has all you need on it, you can go into the settings and 'erase all content and settings' which puts your One back to the 'out of box' state to you can sell it if you want.
