I backed up my library and now i cant restore it on my new mac!

Okay,
So, my PowerMac came today, and I backed up my iTunes library, then (stupidly), deleted almost all my music off my iMac. So i go to do the back up, and it copies 70 or so songs then says "Attempting to copy to the disk "Mac Hard Drive" failed. This disk could not be read from or written to".
As you can imagine im quite flustered because thats basically all my music.......
It gets to song 69 out of 170 on the first cd. And like 90something out of 190 on the second, i havent tried the third.
PS,
So since i got my new Mac,
What should i do in order to use my iPod shuffle with my PowerMac?
Also, once i do get to use my shuffle with my PowerMac, i put all my songs on it in my own specific order and it takes me like an hour, but then when i disconnect it, then go to connect it again a few days later, iTunes changes the order of the songs. quite annoying.
Sorry to get off the topic here.
okay ONE more thing, my brother wanted my to install jaguar on his mac, and i copied all his music to an external firewire hard drive and after i installed jaguar it wont let me move the music because i dont have the privilages or something. but idc about that much as long as i get my solution to my backup problem
Thanks,
Tanner.

Hello Isiahjammal,
So after a backup your iPhone was acting like it was restored and now your PC won't even see it?  
Please go through this article for steps to take for that.

Of course step through it in order.
Take care,

    I backed up my ipad to the cloud as it had a broken screen so I swaped it out for a new one and now I cant restore because the new Ipad has IOS 6 and my back up is 6.1!  This is what I get for buying an Ipad twice in a week because of a broken screen? $500 the first buy and then another $299 plus tax for the swaped out one that I can't restore with my backup data.

    I assume that you will have to set up as new since it will not let you restore from the backup. Then after you set it up, you can restore from the iCloud backup. The backup should not disappear be use you are setting this device up as new. Your backup should still be in iCloud.
    However, after you activate the iPd and update the software, you will have to erase the device in order to restore from the Cloud backup, that is the only way to get to the iCloud backup.
    Copied from the article that linked you to this discussion ....
    Resolution
    Update your device to the latest version of iOS to be able to restore the backup.

    There's no way to "restore" your phone, but, you can login to iCloud.com, using your computer, locate your phone, then erase it.

  • I used the migrator utility to transfer music and picture from my old PC and now I have 2 accounts on my new Mac, how can I get back to one account and still have the music and photos transfered ?

    I used the migrator utility to transfer itunes and photos from my old PC to my new Mac and ended up with 2 accounts on my new computer. How do I transfer the music and photos and only have the 1 account on the new Mac ?

    That's not easy.  The Windows migration tool makes a new user account, and you can't prevent it.
    You may be able to transfer what you want manually, but it's not quick or easy.  See Transferring files from one User Account to another.

  • I updated to ios5 and now I cant restore my iPod touch.

    I have now lost all my content because for some reason it says that my backup/restore files dont exist anymore. why cant I restore my ipod?

    What happens when you connect the iPod to your computer and restore via iTunes?
    Yes sometimes the backup will be corrupted and if you do not have another backup you will have to restore to factory defaults/new iPod.

    If a phone is sold from one friend to another and wants to use it on a different carrier the friend can contact the carrier it was sold by to request it unlocked.  I know AT&T, Verizon, and Sprint will give you the steps to unlock it as long as the original contract it was bought under has been completed.  eBay/Craigslist is really not the best place to try to get "unlocked phones" from, if it turns out the phone isn't unlocked then I'm really sorry you got stuck with that one and as stevejobsfan said above I would report them immediately and see if you can recover your money.  I sell phones for a living and this happens a lot

    Place the iOS device in Recovery Mode and then connect to your computer and restore via iTunes. The iPod will be erased.

  • I deleted some videos on my ipad before synching with my library, and now I can't find them.  How can i get them back?

    I deleted some videos on my ipad before synching with my library, and now I can't find them.  How can i get them back?

    Do you live in the United States? If you do then you can download them again for free - as long as the movies are available for free downloads. Apple has not forged agreements with every movie studio yet so you just have to check.
    Launch iTunes, and tap on the purchased tab. In the upper left corner you will see a "View" button. Tap that in order to toggle among music, TV Shows and Movies. Select Movies and then see if the movies appear. If they do, tap the Movie icon and then tap the cloud icon next to the icon in order to begin the download.
    You have to use the same Apple ID that you used to purchase them.
    If you do not live in the U.S. then you will have to purchase them again.

  • I recently rebuilt my iphoto 09 library and now all the pics are in one folder instead of events.  How do I get 20,000 pics back into the correct events?

    I recently rebuilt my iphoto 09 library and now all the pics are in one folder instead of events.  How do I get 20,000 pics back into the correct events?
    I have a macbook pro Version 8.1.2 and I am using Iphoto 09
    I rebuilt library because many pics were black and now they are in one folder labeled "Recovered"

    Do you have the original iPhoto Library (before you rebuilt it)?
    If so, I suggest you rebuild it using iPhoto Library Manager, a program you can download. It does a better job of rebuilding. It also leaves your original intact and makes the rebuilt Library a new file (package).
    If you don't have the original (say, from a backup), then you should probably first back up the library that you have before trying anything.
    After making a backup of it, look along the left side, you will see Events and Photos. Is there anything in either of those areas?
    If not, it sounds like all your photos were recovered and put in Recovered during the rebuild. iPhoto Library Manager might do a better job with this. In any case, if there are no photos in Events or in Photos, try selecting ~ 5 photos in Recovered and drag them to Photos. Do they then show up there with the correct dates? Do they also show up in Events after doing that? I am suggesting just a few photos before you try it with 20,000.
    If the photos inside your "recovered" area are also in Photos, then don't do the above steps. I'm not sure I can help you if your 20,000 photos are in Photos but not Events. I'd try iPhoto Library Manager instead with its better rebuild.
    If the 5 photos experiment works, then I would try it with ~ 200 photos at a time, going through your entire collection. You'll need to do this about 10 times if you really have 20,000 photos. Remember, don't do this if the "recovered" photos are already in "Photos."

  • I keep getting a message that itunes incorrectly tried to run the C runtime library and now itunes won't work anyone know how to fix it?

    My computer keeps telling me that itunes tried to incorrectly run the C runtime library and now I can't get into it, I've tried uninstalling and reinstalling it but nothing is working

    Go to Control Panel > Add or Remove Programs (Win XP) or Programs and Features (later)
    Remove all of these items in the following order:
    iTunes
    Apple Software Update
    Apple Mobile Device Support (if this won't uninstall move on to the next item)
    Bonjour
    Apple Application Support
    Reboot, download iTunes, then reinstall, either using an account with administrative rights, or right-clicking the downloaded installer and selecting Run as Administrator.
    The uninstall and reinstall process will preserve your iTunes library and settings, but ideally you would back up the library and your other important personal documents and data on a regular basis. See this user tip for a suggested technique.
    Please note:
    Some users may need to follow all the steps in whichever of the following support documents applies to their system. These include some additional manual file and folder deletions not mentioned above.

    Copy all the content on your iPod back to your PC and into iTunes. Then go ahead and sync the iPod with your new library.
    See this older post from another forum member Zevoneer covering the different methods and software available to assist you with the task of copying content from your iPod back to your PC and into iTunes.
