HT4972 how can i put all my music on my computer before i update my i pod cuz i dont want to lose my music
how to save music b for updating my i pod
You can copy purchases from Apple from the iPod to your computer's iTunes via File > Transfer Purchases. For music purchased from other stores and/or copied from CDs, then if you haven't already got it on your computer and/or on a backup then you will need to find a third-party program for your computer that can copy them off the iPod (iTunes won't copy them).

I have three different listings for Bob Seger on my iPod (Bob Seger, Bob Seger System and Bob Seger and The Silver Bullet Band) How can I put all 3 in the same artist folder without changing artist name?
Can you just create a new "Playlist", name it Bob Seger and drag what you want into the Playlist.

You're using a Mac computer?
You are always at risk of losing your music. If you are worried about it now too it means you don't have a backup. Get one. Soon. -
So my MacBook Pro collapsed one day, and it turns on but only "Restarts" and shuts itself down on the procesa. The only thing I have access to is that 'Command + R' thing. There I tried "Verifying" and "Reparing" the Diak but the message of "Cant repair disk backup as many files as possible, reformat the disk and restore" popped up. So I have am external hard drive with more than enough space to put all of my files in there. my question is: HOW DO I DO THAT? from disk utility. Can somone please help me? Please! Step by step cause ptherwise I will mess it up and I really dont want to lose all the memories I have in my computer.
After you restart so you have access to Disk Utility, with the external drive connected, choose the external drive from the left sidebar of the DU window. If the drive has not been formatted for the Mac, choose Partition from the buttons top center of the main window. Give the drive a name, you can leave it as one partition if you like, make sure the format is set as Mac OS X Extended (Journaled), and the partition table is GUID. Then Apply and acknowledge that you know this will erase the disk.
Then go to the button that says Restore. Drag and drop the internal drive, Macintosh HD is most common, to the Source box, and drag and drop the external drive to Destination box. Then Restore.
That will create a clone of the internal and that will be a bootable clone. -

How can I delete all my mail from my computer, but leave it all on .Mac ?
How can I delete all my mail ( 3.5 ) on my computer ( original G4 ) but leave it all on the .Mac servers?
backup the device and restore it as new.
If you already have or don't need a backup:
Erase your device
Erasing all content and settings will delete all the data from your device, including songs, videos, contacts, photos, calendar information, and any other data. All device settings are restored to their factory condition.
To remove all settings and information from your device, tap Settings > General > Reset > Erase All Content and Settings. For more information about this feature, see iOS: Understanding 'Erase All Content and Settings'.
If you are unable to erase your device, restore the device using iTunes.
See: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4137 for the exact steps.

Is there a way to transfer playlists and songs with out formatting?
Please help
Thank youCheck out the instructions/suggestions here.
Music from iPod to computer (using option 2). This a manual method using "hidden folders" and although it works, it can be messy.
Much easier ways are to use one of the many 3rd party programs that copy music from the iPod to the computer.
One of the most recommended is Yamipod. This is a free program that transfers music and playlists etc from iPod back to the computer. However, it does not transfer playcounts/ratings etc.
Another free program is Pod Player.
There is also CopyPod. This does preserve ratings/playcounts etc if those are important to you but this program is not free. It also supports video transfer. -
have alot of music to import and some of the artist are not in the same folder. like elton john who has duets with others. is there anyway to put all the music in same folder and not have several folders for same artist
If you right click on a son in iTunes and click Get Info. Under the Sorting tab iyo can change how the songs is sorted in iTunes
Tips for using song and CD info to organize your music
You can edit information in the Info window to make it easier to find and sort items in your library. For example, you can:
Group individual movements on a classical CD into one work by indicating the name of the work (for example, “Piano concerto in A Minor, Op. 54”) in the Grouping field.
Group songs that are part of a compilation together in your library by clicking Details and selecting the checkbox next to “Album is a compilation of songs by various artists”.
Identify the individual artists on a tribute album in the Artist field, and type “various” in the Album Artist field.
Create your own genre category by clicking Details and typing the category in the Genre field.
Change the order in which tracks on a CD play by changing the numbers in the Track fields.
Create a Smart Playlist that includes only songs that are just the right speed for your workout by typing the number of beats per minute in the BPM field. For instructions, see Create a Smart Playlist.
Identify a movie as a music video (click the Options button, and choose Music Video from the Media Kind pop-up menu).
Identify an item that you imported from a CD as an audiobook, so it appears under Audiobooks instead of Music (click the Options button and choose Audiobook from the Media Kind pop-up menu). If you do this, iTunes also remembers your place in the audiobook.
Enter custom sorting criteria for an item. Select the item, choose File > Get Info, click Sorting, and enter the custom text.
Does the non-syncing songs play in iTunes on the computer?
is there anything different about the songs that do sync and those that do not? Like where they cam from? The format (Get Info>under the File tab). -
How do I move ALL my music in iTunes back to its original space on my desktop. I have music on my desktop, music on an external hard drive and some saved on a flash. I cannot backup my music because I cannot locate it. I have 4 separate music libraries (same songs) but don't know where to begin to get my music and libraries back in order. CAN SOMEONE SHOW ME THE WAY HOME?
Hi there old45,
You may find the information in the article below helpful.
iTunes 11 for Windows: Change where your iTunes files are stored
http://support.apple.com/kb/PH12365
Consolidate your files in the iTunes folder
You can consolidate all the files in your library in the iTunes folder—for example, to make it easier to move your library to a new computer.
Choose File > Library > Organize Library.
Select “Consolidate files.”Files remain in their original locations, and copies are placed in the iTunes folder.
To create folders (Music, Movies, TV Shows, Podcasts, Audiobooks, and so on) inside your iTunes folder, and place all your imported media files in the appropriate folders, select “Reorganize files in the folder ‘iTunes Media.’”
Locate your iTunes files
Do either of the following:
Find out where a file is stored: Select the item in iTunes, and choose File > Get Info. The path to the file is shown at the bottom of the Summary pane (next to Where).
Show the file in Windows Explorer: Select the song, and choose File > Show in Explorer.

How can I put all the music on my iPhone?
iTunes on my desktop only shows my old music (I hadn't used it in over a year) and I recently got an iPhone 4 but iTunes on my laptop only shows my new music. How can I get it all in one place and on my iPhone?
There are a few ways to do this!
Is your laptop the "new iTunes" linked to the iPhone4?
Lets presume so.
this only works with non-DRM files/ your personal music files.
Go to your desktop.
1. You need to find the iTunes Media folder that holds your music.
Method A : Using Spotlight : type "iTunes media"
Open this folder.
See "music" folder.
Double click on this and it will have all your old music.
Copy this folder onto a Flashdrive/external drive. (call the folder "Old Music")
Then disconnect the flashdrive from your desktop and take it over to your laptop.
Open the Finder and find your flashdrive with the Old Music folder.
OPen that folder (It should have all your old music!)
Selct all and drag and drop this onto iTunes!!
Sync your iPhone!
Method B to find the Media file with your old music.
Click Finder.
Under places you should have your user name.
Click on this
You should then have a series of folders : Applications/Desktop etc.
One of these will be Music.
Click or dble click! on this. Find iTunes. Double click again.
Find a folder called Music...and then follow steps above to copy to a flashdrive....
Please note if you have copyright files in your Old iTunes, you can use a program like senuti or podworks to rip your stuff to a folder and then transfer to your "new music"....a bit more confusing!
Good luck...Its your music....you should be able to do what you want with it!!! -

I want to have all my local iPhone Contacts in the cloud to have them also on my iPad.
iCloud only saved 36 from 225 total Contacts. My IPhone Contacts are saved on the iPhone itself, but how can I Transfer them into the cloud?The Mac uses Mac OS X and iDevices use iOS. These are two different operating systems and the apps must be written for each operating system specifically, even when the apps go by the same name, such as the iWork apps, they are two ifferent versions of the same app for the two different platforms.
So, as an example, Safari has been written for three different operating systems, Mac OS X, iOS and Windows. And the Safari apps, as similar as they are visually, are not interchangeable for the different platforms.
