I can't import ringtones from my pc iTunes to my Mac mini iTunes.

I'm transferring my entire library from my old windows laptop to my new Mac mini. It's been easy to transfer everything, except it won't allow me to transfer my ringtones. And now the mac has erased the tones from my iPhone when I synced. Help!

Hi Daniel!
I have an article here that can help explain how to do this through a couple of methods on your new MacBook Pro:
iOS: Importing personal photos and videos from iOS devices to your computer
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4083
Specifically, these are the instructions relevant to your situation:
If you have a Mac
You can import pictures from your iOS device using iPhoto (if installed):
Connect the device to your computer. iPhoto should automatically launch into its import window with your device's images and videos listed.
Note: If iPhoto does not automatically open, you may wish to enable the behavior.
Click Import All. If you want only some of your images imported, select the images and videos you would like to import into iPhoto, then click the Import Selected button.
When the photos finish importing, you will be presented with a dialog asking whether you'd like to delete the original photos from your Camera Roll. Click Delete Photos.
Note: Deleting photos after importing helps to reduce Camera Roll size, and it improves backup and restore times. You may choose Keep Photos if you wish to import the photos to additional computers.
If you do not have iPhoto installed on your computer, you can import pictures from the device using Image Capture:
Connect the iOS device to the computer.
If Image Capture does not open automatically, you can navigate to your Applications folder and open Image Capture from there.
Choose the location to which you'd like to import pictures.
Click Options.
Click the Options tab if it isn't already selected.
Enable the option "Delete items from camera after downloading".
Note: Deleting photos after importing helps to reduce Camera Roll size, and it improves backup and restore times. You may choose Keep Photos if you wish to import the photos to additional computers.
Click OK.
Click Download All.
Take care, and thanks for visiting the Apple Support Communities.

Can't import ringtone from Garage band 6.0.5 to iTunes 11.0.4

On my Mac I can't import ringtone from Garage band 6.0.5 to iTunes 11.0.4. I can create the ringtone but when I share it vanishes instead of going into the Tones like it used to do.

Is that, how far you get?
You select, "New Project" and select a "Podcast" project template? And then you get that error message? Or do you see the File Choser dialogue, but get the error message, when you try to save the project?
That can either mean, that the "Podcast" project template is not readable, or that you cannot write to the GarageBand folder in your home folder.
Check the System Library, if the Podcast template is properly installed:
/Library/Application Support/GarageBand/Templates/Projects/
Look into the folder "Library", directly on your MacintoshHD, then "Application Support", "GarageBand", "Templates" for 08. Podcast.band.
If it is not there, then your GarageBand installation is incomplete and you need to reinstall it. If the file is there, check the permissions. Can you open the file 8. Podcast.band, if you copy it to your Desktop and double click it, to open it in GarageBand?

How can i import photos from ipad to itunes, how can i import photos from ipad to itunes

How can I import photos from my iPad to iTunes on my Windows Vista PC?

I'm puzzled! I had received a set of jpg files through an e-mail on my ipad. For reasons unknown to me, they got saved to my (only) album, that had an irrelevant name. When I tried to change the name of the album, I received a message that I could only change the name of the album after importing them to the computer where (as I recall) iTunes resided. After much huffing and puffing, I managed to import the photos, to the Windows computer, but they wound up in a Windows Photo Gallery directory, where I put them into an appropriately named album. Now, how do I get them back to the iPad. (I also learned, I think, that iTunes will have nothing to do with the photos.

How can you import pictures from the iphoto app to your mac book pro into iphoto on a mac book pro using mavericks?

I've tried to look this up on the app, and it tells me to use the iTunes file sharing and I can see anything with this trying to use both. I'm trying to keep my pictures in chronological order. Does in know how I can use this? Any help I would greatly appreciate. Thank you!

OK. This is two separate issues. To import pictures on your iPhone into your MBP, you can use iPhoto or the Image Capture app (in the Applications folder).
To use iPhoto, connect your iPhone to your Mac with its USB cable & launch iPhoto. Your iPhone will be listed it in the "Devices" panel on the left. Choose it & you will get a window where you can import all or selected photos as either "split events" or as a single event. If you need help with this, try opening iPhoto's built-in help & selecting the "Import Photos" item. That will open the Import photos from iPhone or other mobile phone help topic. Expand the Import photos from iPhone section & study it. It should answer all your questions about this better than I can!
To use the Image Capture app, you connect the iPhone & select it just like above. The app has several options for importing images, but what you may find useful if you do not want to import directly into iPhoto is that you can just drag any of the iPhone's displayed items onto the desktop or into a folder like you would any other file & they will be copied to that location.
As for organization of items in iPhoto, there are four ways they can be grouped for display (by event, by photo, by face, & by place). All except by faces offers a "By date" sort choice in the iPhoto View > Sort Photos menu item.

Can't import library from iPod to iTunes

I was having troubles with my laptop so I was forced to re-load the entire operating system, deleting everything previously on my computer. Now, I'm unable to load all of my songs from my iPod into my new iTunes library. The only ones it is allowing me to import are songs that were purchased through the iTunes store. This is a pain because now I'm unable to listen to music on my computer. Can anyone help?

Go get some 3rd-party software like Yamipod, Copypod, etc.
Just google "iPod restore"
As you've found out, iTunes will only restore purchased music.
I can't recommend any certain program, since I haven't had to do this.

Can't import songs from CD to iTunes

I recently bought this CD and want to import the songs to my library. However, iTunes does not recognize the the CD is even in, and this external player pops up that is part of CD. When I try another way and remove the songs from the CD itself I cannot even find the songs. Can you help me in extracting the songs from the CD?

No, there is not way around it. I would be returning it to where you bought it as a defective CD. These discs do not even meet book standards because of the copy protection. I would politely explain why you are returning it, that you can not download it on to your system because of the protection. Most of the regular posters in these forums, as a matter of principle, do not buy CC-CD's because the record companies are denying the consumer (us) our fair use rights.
I will get off of my soapbox, now.

Can't import songs from CD using iTunes 8.02

I noticed a few (random) corrupted music files following upgrading to iTunes to 8.02, and decided to try reload them from the CD's. The computer would add a few complete songs, but some would not load completely. (I only tried this with one CD, although I noticed songs from different albums were 'corrupt') ) This happened (the clipping) when using both the internal and an external drive.
I checked using another available computer and all of the songs on the CD were added correctly with no clipping, this computer (an Intel MacMini) was still running iTunes 7.7.1 and 10.4.11.
I found instructions how to revert to iTunes 7.7.1 and after 2 tries got it to work, and I was able to import @ 1/2 of my songs from an external drive which had not been used with iTunes 8.x. And also the songs from the CD that were giving me trouble when running iTunes 8.02. Of course I could not reload from +the library+ that was created with iTunes 8.
I'm slowly adding the rest of the tunes by dragging them into the iTunes window, but I would like to know if someone can recommend a good program or script to compare the 2 iTunes libraries so I don't miss reimporting any tunes.
Thank you.

Are these CDs you burned yourself or are the commercial CDs? To get the information on commercial CDs, iTunes connects to an online database so make sure you are connected to the internet when you import. You also have to be connected to use the "Get CD track names" function. If you made the CDs then the track names will be seen as Track 01, Track 02 etc. and the information has to be keyed in again by hand: See if this helps explain things a bit better than I have: How iTunes remembers Audio CDs

Can't import songs from computer to itunes!

I am unable to add music files to my itunes library. If I click the 'add file to folder', i get the message that the file is not in the wma format and will be converted by itunes. but nothing happens, and the file isn't added. i've alternatively tried dragging files into itunes, but i just cannot seem to add music to my itunes library unless by importing using audio cds.
Most of the songs are ones I have saved in my music folder, or else burned from a cd onto a different computer and i've saved them onto this computer. but itunes wont recognize them. thanks for your help!

On the new laptop, launch iTunes. From the menu bar click Store / Authorize This Computer.

How can I import video from a VHS tape onto my mac and into imovie?

I am trying to take old family movies that are on VHS tapes and get them into imovie so i can edit them and burn DVDs

I recommend the EyeTV Hybrid from ElGato. It will do what you ask and also serve as a high-def TV Tuner and DVR.
More good options in this [MacWorld Article|http://www.macworld.com/article/143545/2009/10/vhscapturetools.html]
Another option is to buy a digital camcorder with a Pass-thru option.
A final option is a digital analog converter like those sold by Canopus. These are expensive.

Downloaded my itunes and on the top left hand corner the drop box doesn't show pictues/I can't import pictures from my dell computer to my iphone 4s 6.1.3

The battery alone is a $5 to $15 part. Hard drives vary in cost, and depending on the iMac, they may or may not be able to install a third party hard drive, or one resold through Apple. The resold through Apple drives tend to cost more. This article discusses the varying successes of third party drives on iMacs:

The labor costs depend on the store as well as the time to get the parts in stock. Call around.

How can i import contacts from another AIM account to this new one

If you reference my last ichat question, you will see that I have had serious problems and had to create a new account.
How can I import contacts from another AIM account to this new one??

Hi,
Use AIM for Mac and use the Export and Import features.
Other than that it is a question on making sure every Single Buddy has more than just their Screen name in the IChat Address Card so it is added to the Address Book and dragging them back from there

Can I import video from a Firewire camcorder using the Thunderbolt to Firewire Adapter?

I have an older camcorder that has a firewire interface. My new iMac does not have any firewire ports. Can I import video from the camcorder using a Thunderbolt to Firewire Adapter or is the Thunderbold adapter only used for hard drives and displays?

Rather than an adapter, I would suggest you purchase a 4 pin to 9 pin Firewire 800 cable to run from the camera to the Thunderbolt to Firewire adapter. Those FW 400 to 800 adapters frequently do not work so well for importing video in my experience.
The Firewire cables are pretty inexpensive if you get them online. For example try Monoprice.
