I am losing a hard drive on another computer so I have downloaded all music to my ipod nano, when I sync the nano to my new computer and new itunes software it won't pick up the music from the old computer what do I do to successfully sync?

I am losing a hard drive on an old computer so I performed a sync of all music from the old computer to my ipod nano.  Now when I sync my ipod nano to my new computer/Itunes all music will not upload to new computer/software.  What am I doing wrong?

  I’ve never needed to do that and am fairly new to using itunes but try doing this. Go to, “Store,” in the itunes menu and select, “Authorize this computer.” Enter apple id and see if that works. I heard that method is used to transfer purchased media to a new computer but I don’t know if it works for regular stored media. Please let me know if that works.

  • All of my music was on a hard drive that failed. How do I download them from iTunes match to my new hard drive?

    All of my music was on a hard drive that failed. How do I download them from iTunes match to my new hard drive? I know how to do it one song at a time, but I want to know if there is a way to do it for all 10,000 song files at once?

    There are some recovery programs out there if you google them - many with free trials. I haven't tried them so I have no opinion.Read any professional tech and user reviews you can find before you try one. I have read here in the past that some have worked for people who have posted here. 
    To help in the future, have you considered using Jump Desktop - Remote Desktop? I know it won't solve the problem you're dealing with now (unless notes were taken on your computer.) It's in the app store. It's the #1 paid app in the business category and the reviews are great. It allows you to see anything that's on your computer on your ipad. If you take your notes on your ipad then you might want to email them to yourself, put them on Word in your computer, for example, and then if you need them in class, you remotely connect your ipad to your computer and you will see your notes. This way you won't have to rely so much on the cloud. The explanation would be too long here, but you might want to take a look at it. You can use the free trial on jumpdesk.com and then if it works for you, buy it in the app store. 
    Meanwhile, it's hours since you sent this post. Hopefully others who can help solve your problem who are on this forum now can help you. I hope you get your notes back. Don't give up too quickly.
    Hope this helps. 

  • I transferred my iTunes library from one external hard drive to another and added more music on the same day. How do I get rid of my duplicate files without going through them one by one which would take forever?

    Please help. I have transferred my iTunes library from one external hard drive to another plus added additional music now I have duplicates of the same music in many albums. How do I delete the duplicates without going through them one by one which would take forever? I understand how to get the "show exact duplicate" feature up on iTunes but, because they were added to the library on the exact day I can't seperate them I'm that manner. So each duplicate is right next to eachother in the exact duplicate screen.

  • I cannot get my iTunes library from my old computer to my new one. The old computer is so messed up that I cannot even get google to open. I tried to copy to an external hard drive and the music was there until I went to upload to the new computer.

    I cannot get my iTunes library/music from my old computer to my new one. The old computer is so messed up that I cannot even open a browser.I tried to copy to an external hard drive and the music was there until I went to upload to the new computer. I disconnected my old computer so I will have to reconnect it I am sure. thank you for any help. Last time I transferred I used a product I purchased. That was a long time ago.

    First of all make sure that you've definitely backed up the movies to your external hard disc.
    In iMovie click on any event you don't want, go to the file menu and select 'move event to trash'. Then do the same for any unwanted projects - 'move project to trash'. Quit out of iMovie and empty the trash.
    Hope that helps!

  • My itouch is asking me for answers to security questions that I never answered and it won't let me buy anything from the iTunes store.  I tried a hard reset to original settings but it still asks for answers.

    My daughter's itouch (registered to my apple account) is asking for answers to security questions that I never answered and it won't let her buy anything from the iTunes store.  I tried a hard reset to original settings but it still asks for answers.  How do I reset the security questions or get rid of them appearing altogether?  I can purchase apps on my phone (same apple account) and it doesn't ask me for security questions.

  • How to switch Organizer catalog from one hard drive to another?

    As far as a little background, i have just finished two high definition projects in Premiere Elements, the last one being 73 projects combined into 6 blu rays.  It had completely filled up my 1TB hard drive, so i have purchased an additional 2TB internal hard drive, in hopes of being able to switch all my photoshop to the larger internal hard drive.  I am also archiving the old stuff as i finish each project to an external hard drive to free up space. 
    But i am PETRIFIED at the possibility of trying to move my Elements Catalog because of all the stories i have heard about having the majority of the photos needed to 'reconnect' after switching it to an external hard drive and I assume the same thing will happen to me if i move it to another internal hard drive???????   I have had several computer smart gentleman who have often helped me out when i had a problem and one refused to even venture how to successfully move the catalog and other guy's suggestion is to backup the entire Catalog and then restore it on the new drive.   Steve Grisetti said this morning on his webpage that i should cut and paste the file from one drive to the other but not quite sure how easy that is going to be, because when i have searched out the "move' option, it does not allow me to do anything there.  Could that be because i have files that need to be 'reconnected' first before i could accomplish that 'move.'    Steve suggested i come over to this Forum to get some opinions, which is what i have done.  That sounds like being more complicated than just cutting and pasting one folder with 16,000 photos.  What is the safest way to accomplish this without losing anything, and avoiding the need to 'reconnect' 16,000 files which i am not looking forward to.
    So that is my first and foremost question about the Elements Organizer, but i do have some other related problems with the 'reconnect' problem, some of which i have figured out, but not completely.  After finally completing these two big projects, my next goal was to clean up my files, get things organized better, and i seem to be finding more and more problems to address.  The list of problems decreases with each project but i am still able to find new ones.  I am not a computer whiz, and probably shouldn't be trying to accomplish what i am doing with the basic Photoshop programs, something i know the majority of you would be using other more advanced Photoshop programs and much more easily, but i am starting to get this program down, and i don't need more challenges right now.
    So i have 3 additional concerns and questions if anyone can help me out to prevent future problems with the next high definition project for Premiere Elements to burn onto blu rays. 
    1.  Because i ran out of space totally on my old internal hard drive, i set up a temporary file on the new drive for the blu ray projects, and I was able to finish the remaining mpeg2s for the final 2 blu rays from Premiere Elements.  But when i finished, i started to clean up the files, and realized that the catalog was not recognizing any of the mpeg2 files that i had used to assemble the first 4 blu rays, which was the time i set up the new file on the new internal hard drive, and had copied and pasted my blu ray files.  It all seemed to go well, and i was able to finish the final 20 something projects and 2 final mpeg2s for the final blu rays which i prepared and burned on Sony DVD Architect.  . But when i went back and was looking at the final mpeg2 files for the previous 4 blu rays, they all needed to be 'reconnected', and i assume it was because the last 2 were on a different drive.  And after some effort, i was able to reconnect everything i think successfully.  And i am assuming that this will not continue to be a problem if i can get the entire Catalog on the same hard drive.  So write that one off to experience.
    2.  But i hadn't taken the time before doing the blu ray project to label my pictures completely, so the next project i started was renaming the filenames, which quickly presented a new problem, and that made for more 'reconnect' problems again for every picture that i renamed that was used in any of the Premiere Elements Project, so i was back to where i started but even worse off; however, the good news is that my photos were the best organized they ever have been.  So all the mpeg2's on the catalog once again asked for 'reconnect' and came to the conclusion that it must mean any name change in the 'filename' also makes it not recognizable.  With my first big Premiere Elements project which ended up with 4 blu rays, i made the very big mistake of organizing and moving files in windows, and that is problem #3.  So i have come to the conclusion that it doesn't matter, but lots of effort is not obtainable, but i guess i am wondering if it was really worth saving in working condition anyway??  The good news is that the individual photos are fine for the most part, but it is all the mpeg2 files that i combined the original photos into 73 projects, making a mpeg2 of each, then combining about 10-15 of the mpeg2s together and adding music to it, and forming the final mpeg2 which is what i then prepared to burn to blu ray in Sony Architect Studio.  The finished product is still present in the Sony Architect software, and i even burned a copy of them again to make sure that was possible,  So my gut feeling is just to delete all the mpeg2 files in my organizer, and forget they were ever there!  Does that make sense?????    I am not sure that i would ever use them again anyway, but what i am asking is obviously that something as simple as change in the filename screws up the catalog once again?????  Yes, i have learned my lesson, and they will all be finalized with the filename ever before i start the next project.  Just like with the first project, i learned to stay out of windows all together, and now i only use albums which i found no problems using at all. 
    3.  Last problem is the oldest one, but one i still cannot solve.  It was from the first blu ray project when i was doing stupid things like moving folders, and photos from one folder to another to make it better organized.  And that was super-organized, and there was absolutely no need to change filenames!!!!!  I have two separate problems.  Some of the 'reconnects' do not have a picture but the gray square and the ?.  I have been able to find most of the files that i had 'displaced' and have recovered them, and knew where they were, and were able to change file names, and it looks like they are back in the catalog.  There was also a big file of photos that i found in a file that was the original download file for a given date which is how i NOW download my photos into Photoshop in the first place.  But i have not been able to reconnect any of them successfully.  They are there and i have renamed them, but the catalog still does not recongize them as being in the Catalog.  The other group are photos where the picture shows in the catalog, but there is a ? to reconnect, but i cannot find the photos anywhere.  These are of a trip of a once in a life time variety, so i have refused to just press delete, and i thought i had perhaps somehow deleted them all, but i have either found them in another file or the photo is present but i can't rename, i can't reconnect, and for all practical purposes they don't seem to be there.  Any suggestions at all?  Do i have any other options other than just to delete those whole period of my trip? 
    I am longwinded, but i wanted to try and give enough background information.  The problem seems simple, but i just want to confirm the problems i have run into are for the reason i think they are, and any help on how to successfully move the catalog to the second internal hard drive will be greatly appreciated.  Thanks in advance for any comments and or suggestions.

    Thanks for your suggestions, i knew i had overdone it when i wrote the entire story.  Just a couple direct questions based on your response!!
    Just a couple of questions, i am assuming all the reconnection problems have to be taken care of either by connecting or deleting before the catalog can be moved.  Correct? 
    The reconnect problems i have were not renamed outside of Photoshop, and the renaming does not seem to be an issue except for mpeg2s that are in the catalog that were used to generate the blu rays but i think it was me screwing things up when i didn't know better and was moving folders and photos in folders (Window type) .   Since the blu rays are in the Sony software complete and ready to reburn easily, i assume it would be okay to delete all those that are in the catalog, that need to be reconnected for whatever reason.  Plus the individual photos of most of them are just fine.  I am talking 376 'reconnect problems' counting all those mpeg2 files which are at least the majority of the 376.  Probably would be nice to have, but is there any reason i have to keep them since the photos are okay and the blu rays are burned and still in the Sony Architect program intact?  
    What i don't understand is the important photos that are worth trying to save seem to be in the proper folder, which is what is stated in properties, but the photo is in the catalog, but with the ? and cannot do anything with it at all, without just going to reconnection, and when i try to identify the folder, it says it is empty, which those are NOT.   If it takes 'forever', then albeit, at least for these few pictures.  I really don't want to delete those!
    And is it possible to do what my computer tech is telling me that it will all transfer accurately and completely if we backup the entire catalog and then restore it to the new drive?.  It seems like after i complete the reconnects one way or another, it might be an easier process that can be completed totally within Element?    Since the catalog is on c drive, i guess i can't do what you suggested buy why? 
    I kept to those tips you gave me.  It seems like an impossibility to save these pictures, but these were from my very first efforts with Premiere Elements and blu rays.  Other than the renaming the changing and affecting the Premiere Elements projects in the second one, i have no other problems, and have no recconect problems.  So i guess i am moving in the right direction.  I just don't need to keep finding ways to make more problems for myself.

  • I HAVE BEEN USING MID 2011 MACBOOK AIR 11 INCH.I AM LOSING MY HARD DRIVE SPACE WITHOUT ANY REASON.FIRST IT WAS 84.1 GB NOW IT IS 83.9 AND SLOWLY LOSING SPACE.WHY IS THAT?? PLS PLS HELP

    I have never heard of a relation between the enabled state of Time Machine, and boot. Its probably coincidental.
    Try booting in Safe Mode (hold down shift key, whilst booting). Then check for apllications in your Users & Groups preferences that are starting up with login. Disable all startup apps, then eanable them one at a time, booting normall. See which app is possibly hanging.
    You can also try doing a Repair Permissions and Repair Disk on your startup drive. This must be done within Disk Utility when booted to your Recovery Partition. To boot to the Recovery Partition, hold down the OPTION key while booting, and select the Recovery Partition drive to boot from. Then run Disk Utility.

  • Itunes library tranfer from one hard drive to another on the same computer

    Hello I have two hard drives on my mac g4 and the first has 80gig and i only have 10 gig of memory left to fill in my ipod library so... I want to move the itunes library/song data from one hard drive to another, how do I do this? the ipod has the ability to hold 40gig of songs etc. so I know the main hard drive will be full before my ipod will be... I'm new to apple and have had a pc for several years but had too many problems with viruses and like what I've learned so far on my mac thanks for your help out there... you can email me at [email protected] thanks again for any help out there

    For the record, hard drives don't hav ememory it is just storage space.
    Anyway, in your user folder you would want to drag the Music folder to the other hard drive. Once that is finsihed copying in the iTunes preferences you would want to point iTunes to the new drive and folder for the music folder it should be using.

  • Moving library from one hard drive to another in same PC

    Just to let you all know right from the top that I've been trying to work with Apple's own info on this before coming here, this is the page I've been consulting:
    support.apple.com/kb/HT1364
    Okay, so here's the background: I just bought a new tower computer and I made sure that there was an empty bay available for a 2nd hard drive.  What I wanted to do was move the hard drive from my old computer into this second bay and have it availble (in the near term, before I reformat it) to move data in the new computer from the old drive to the new one.
    The second drive was installed, I can read from it and write to it, so there's no problem with that install..it's done and it works. 
    But I have not been able to find online exactly how to move as much of my previous data (music files, playlists, artwork) as possible from the old drive to the new drive (where I have a fresh install of the newest i-Tunes).  On the page referenced above, everything "tracks" right down through Step 8.  But at Step 9...I don't see any of that,  When I open File > Library I don't see either Organize Library or Consolidate Library.  In fact, the only two choices I see after File > Library are Tune On Home Sharing and Get Album Artwork. 
    So I'm stuck right there. What should I do next to move this info to the new hard drive *and* to a place where iTunes wants to find it?  I should be clear here that I do not simply want to *point* iTunes to the old drive and current location of the library, since the goal is to ultimately get everything from that drive that I need and then reformat it. 
    Any suggestions?
    P.S. BTW, the new computer is running Windows 7.  My profile shows XP because that was the OS on the old computer.

    Thanks so much for the information! I have started following your steps...but might be momentarily hung on one thing:
    As I mentioned, I had already done a fresh install of iTunes on the new hard drive.  As a result, under Users > Dave > My Music there was already a folder called "iTunes" there.  And the folder on my old hard drive that you wanted me to copy -- the one that contained everything (music, artwork, games, etc) -- is also called "iTunes".  So I realized I might get an error message with that, about how there's already a folder in that directory with that name, etc..
    Since I had only installed the new copy of iTunes and hadn't downloaded anything new or done anything with it, I figured I should probably just uninstall it.  Then, after doing that, I copied over all those files and folders...and those copies now reside on the new hard drive.  Problem is, I now don't have an app to run.
    So...should I have left the new install in place and just put the old "iTunes" folder (and contents) at, say, another level?  Or...since I've now copied all those files into the place where I thought iTunes would expect to find them, what would happen if I installed iTunes all over again?  Will it know what to do with the iTunes folder now already there?
    Dave
