I can't manually transfer podcasts from another computer

The computer that I "sync" my ipod with is seriously on the fritz. I'm an NPR junkie, and downloaded podcasts to our other computer (we are a four computer family). These podcasts are free, so there should be no copyright issues. I have set the ipod to manually manage files, per instructions, but I still cannot copy some of the files to my ipod. The instructions are to drop and drag, but it is not working. Suggestions?

What do you mean access them?
Itunes store does not keep a copy on their server for you. You get ONE download. If you want that content on another authorized computer, then you have to put it there. It will not magically appear.

Auto sync is not working. How can I manually transfer music from my macbook pro iTunes to iphone 5?

Auto sync is not working. How can I manually transfer music from my macbook pro iTunes to iphone 5? My iMatch is turned on and I can direct downlad my music to the iPhone from the Cloud; however, I want to direct import All of my music from iTunes to my iPhone 5 via the connecting USB cable and it is not working. Yes, I have tried restarting both devices, and no autosync is not working nor is is it providing the avaialbile option to select music in iTunes on my Mac to then sync. Please help. Thanks

Please disregard. I figured it out. Answer for anyone else running into this problem: You have to turn off iTunes Match on both devices. Apparently, if you activate iTunes Match it deactivates your abiltiy to direct sync.

Are you manually dragging and dropping files in an attempt to move music from your client itunes to your idevice? And seeing the process hang and potentially locking itunes?
I have been having similar issues, but recently found something that works for my ipad air. Not sure if this will help you but...
In your itunes client music library:
Right click on one music file
Hover over the Add to Playlist option
Select a playlist from your iphone in the side popup window
See if that helps move the music file over. If it does, test out the original drag and drop on a new file. The move to playlist option seemed to clear whatever blockage I had and I'm not dragging and dropping with ease.

If I imported a CD into my iTunes library from one computer how can I listen to it from another computer?

If I imported a CD into my iTunes library from one computer how can I listen to it from another computer? I imported music from a CD into my compter at work and when I got home and went to my iTunes account none of the songs were in my library. I also noticed that on my Work computer there were a couple songs that I had to click on the little 'cloud' icon before I could listen to them (these were not songs I imported they were songs that were already in my library). Not sure if this makes semse...help.

My question is since I have imported them into my iTunes library from one computer why can't I access them from my iTunes library from another computer that I have authorized to access whats in my library? Is there no way to import songs only once into the library and then access them from all my authorized computers?
Only if you have iTunes Match or of the computers are on the same local network.

Move the domain.sites file from one computer to the other.
The file is located under User/Library/Application Support/iWeb/domain.sites. Move this file to the same location on the other computer and double click and iWeb will open it. Remember, it is your User Library that you want and not your System Library, as you will not find iWeb there.
Just create a new site on the same domain file and it will appear below the other site. If you want them side by side then duplicate your domain file and have one site per a domain file and they can then be side by side.

Can I manually transfer Notes from iPhone to MacBook without full back-up?

Hi everyone,
I'd appreciate some help with getting the Notes I have scribbled on my iPhone 4S onto my MacBook so I can see and use them there too.
Despite quite a bit of searching online for clues and playing around with iCloud, I can't seem to transfer them across - although the Notes app on my iPhone is full of all sorts of things, no Notes appear when I load it up on the MacBook.
I've got a full backup of the phone on my laptop, but I'm not a fan of automatic syncing so I've got it switched to manual transfer only on iTunes. I've got the lastest software on both devices.
Any idea where I'm going wrong, or is this a gap?
Thanks - and Merry Christmas!

File menu, Transfer Purchases. The hpone and Mac must be logged on to the same iTunes account.

My mac just turned off and wont turn on, i have another laptop, I was working on editing a photo shoot in lightroom. Is there a way I can log into my lightroom from another computer to access my catalog?

My macbook just turned off and will not turn back on. I have another laptop, I was editing a photoshoot, and I needed to access those photos. Is there anyway to log into my lightroom account from another laptop, so that I can access those?

Unfortunately, your Lr catalogue is stored on the original Mac, so just logging into your account would not work. As a Windows user in your situation, and if the need for speed was essential, I would remove the hard drive from the malfunctioning PCI and connect it to a working example and try to access the catalogue from an installation of Lr on that one. Is that at all possible with your Mac setup?
Edit: do you have separate backups of your catalogue, in the cloud for instance, but can the catalogue held there be installed on a different Mac? I 've no idea if this is possible, but if you're a professional facing a deadline etc, it might be worthwhile investigating this possibility if it's impossible to move the hard drive as I suggested above.

Can't access my mac from another computer

Ok, i have been able to access my G5 mac using Tiger from my G4 PB using tiger in the past.
I installed Leporad (family pack) on both machines. Now i can't access the G5 from the PB. the settings use to be correct. I kind of gave up, but i just would never get the log in or see the G5.
Today, i finally had the oppurtunity to try using the Back to My Mac feature. My G5 was on at home and i had a wireless connection at work and needed a file on my G5. so i went to the shared section in the side bar and it wasn't there to access.
When i got home i tried again. This time i could see the G5 in the side bar, but could not tell if it was through the internet or if i was seeing it through my wireless network.
when i tried to access using the back to my mac by clicking on the shared volume in the side bar, i could not access it, it finally gave me an error message saying that the server may not be available.
the weird thing is, if i choose to share screen, i could access the G5. I would get a log in window and log in no problem.
the setting in my shared preference seem to be the same for both computers.
any idea where to start on figuring this out.

Do you have a .Mac account? And are both Macs setup to use the .Mac account? Without a .Mac account, the Back-to-My-Mac feature is not going to work, as you need .Mac to act as the middle man in establishing the connection.
In addition, does your work have a corporate firewall? If it does, they most likely block the networking ports that BTMM uses.
When i got home i tried again. This time i could see the G5 in the side bar, but could not tell if it was through the internet or if i was seeing it through my wireless network.
Very likely this is local LAN via Bonjour.

Do you have your Firewall enabled? Security System Preferences
Did you enable Screen Sharing (I'm guessing you did, but I figure it is worth asking) Sharing System Preferences
NOTE: I do not have a .Mac account, and my use of Screen Sharing has been just one or 2 experiments, but I figured I could at least ask some questions that might uncover something useful.

Adding podcast from another computer; don't want to sync entire library

I have my home computer with my entire music library. There is a podcast that I listen to every day that I download as an MP3 file. However, when I'm out of town on travel or just maybe at work in the office, I want to download the files and add them to my ipod rather than wait until I'm at home.
I'm afraid to plug the ipod in to a new computer b/c I'm concerned it will sync and wipe out the entire collection. My thinking is that the ipod could be put into "disk mode" so I could just copy over these few files after I download them.
Is this accurate? Any other advice?

Bumping this up. Could anyone confirm if the ipod will start to sync if I try to add these podcasts from a laptop that does not contain my entire library.

Itunes 11 manually transfer media from another mac

I need to transfer a recently purchased book from itunes 11 on my macbook to an ipad paired with my imac. Help!

Do I need to download an update?
Use Software Update to update iTunes if needed. Read the iTunes/iPod Summary page to find out if your iPod Nano needs any updates which you can download from there.

CAN THE IPHONE BE RESTORED FROM ANOTHER COMPUTER?

I plugged in my iPhone to my Windows 7 computer through the USB port.
iTunes ran and I proceeded to update the OS. This failed. Not Apples fault.
Rather, it's Microsoft's fault because there's a bug in their last Windows update where it disables USB ports.
The bug is: if I plug a device to a USB port, it's not recognized at all (nothing happens).
If the device was already plugged in when I turned on the computer, the USB port works.
However, if I then unplug that device and plug it back in, it doesn't work.
The USB where my iPhone was plugged in stopped working because I think the iTunes update turns the USB
port on and off.
Since the OS did not get installed, iTunes told me I must restore my iPhone to the factory settings.
That did not work because of the USB port problem. I could not even turn on my iPhone. It was totally non-functional.
I then went to my sons computer and did a restore, but because all of my data is on my computer,
I lost EVERYTHING. Or is it lost? I copied the music\itunes folder from my bad computer to my sons computer,
but when restore ran, it did not recognize this data, instead it recognized my sons iPod data.
My Question is: Is there a way to copy the iPhone data on my stricken computer and transfer that to my sons
computer where I can then do a restore using that data?
Can I just manually copy a folder from the broken computer to the good computer?
Thanks.

Actually, never mind. I was able to get the procedure for using the terminal to format partitions of a specific size, and found out that the EFI partition is automatically generated when partitioning the drive, so I only had to create a 400 MB Recovery partition (although I couldn't get it smaller than 528 MB), a 900 MB OSBoot partition, and the rest as Media. Using Disk Utility, I recovered the downloaded disk image to the OSBoot partition, reconnected the hard drive, plugged in the AppleTV and let her rip.
Flashing question mark gone, although for some reason it initially booted in recovery mode, where I was supposed to be able to restart, run diagnostics, or restore firmware to factory resets. Diagnostics ran fine, but I was not able to restore to factory resets. Nevertheless, when I restarted again, the AppleTV worked fine. I even downloaded a couple of updates, viewed some trailers, etc.
This was fun! Thanks for your help!

How can I add old bookmarks from another computer to the ones I have on my new computer?

My old computer crashed; and was replaced with a new one running Windows 7. I had saved my bookmarks, but couldn't find the thumb drive where they were saved, so began using Firefox on my new computer. Now I have bookmarks saved onto my new computer, but want to upload and merge my old bookmarks. I've only found a way to restore bookmarks that will complete wipe out the new ones. Short of writing down all the new ones and adding them back after restoring the old ones, is there any other way to merge the two?
