    I agree- I am having the exact same issue- No matter hpw I try to export and import from the old to the new computers,
    You don't need to import/export anything.
    Simply copy the entire /Music/iTunes folder from old computer to /Music on new computer.
    On new computer, open iTunes.
    Voila! Everything is the same as old computer.

  • I have a toshiba computer with a new hard drive. when i installed itunes,all of my purchased music appeared. now i can only find it in my account history. how do i get my purchased music to appear in my libary again?

    hello

    Media is only where the user puts it.
    Copy the ENTIRE iTunes folder from the old drive or the backup of the computer to the new drive.
    Installing iTunes has never caused media to magically appear on a computer. 

  • Have new computer can't see lightroom history on imports from old

    Hi i have just imported lightroom photos I have been working on into new computer and cannot see any of the previous history

    Importing is the wrong thing to do.
    You need to transfer the  catalog file (and photos) from your old computer to the new computer, then in Lightroom open the catalog file.

  • Playing songs bought on 1 Apple acct. on new computer with a new Apple acct

    Bought my son a MBP with MobileMe acct. pre-installed. Formerly, he's downloaded many of "his" songs using my account (his $$$, though); his iMac was authorized to play these songs. He wants to be able to play his "old" songs (bought on my account) as well as purchase & play songs on his own new Apple acct on his new, yet to be authorized, MBP. How can he do this? Thanks for any help.

    he can authorize iTunes on his MBP to play/use content purchased with both accounts.
    that's basically very easy. all he'll have to do is +log out+ of one account (click on the account name in the iTunes Store window and select +sign out+ from the pop-up dialog) and into the other, and then they will both be authorized. (be sure to just *log out*, not de-authorize ).

  • I want new computer with mountain lion already installed.

    I want to buy new MacBook air with Mountain Lion already installed.  Currently not available at store and can't be guaranteed on line.  How long should I wait?

    Welcome to the Support Communities. It's unlikely that anyone here knows how long it will be until Macs with Mountain Lion installed appear in the stores near you. If you prefer not to wait, consider buying a MacBook Air now and upgrade to Mountain Lion for free — see under "Qualifying purchases on or after July 26, 2012" here:

  • Restoring v8 catalog to new computer with v12

    i have just bought a new computer with windows 8 and installed elements version 12; my old laptop had elements version 8 on it and I did a full backup of the catalog to an external hard drive.  I have gone through the restore catalog process but cant see any photos either in the organiser or in my pictures.  I did the convert step but it said it conversion failed and suggested repairing the backup with previous version which is not possible as the computer was a work machine which has now been wiped and rebuilt and I dont have version 8 anymore!! when it did the convert step it only seemed to find breeze files.  I'm now stuck as to what to do next - can anyone help, please

    The renamed catalog folders with the suffix 1 or 1 1 are in the PSE8 format.
    Your PSE10 converted catalog should have the old name.
    It should contain the database file : catalog.pse12db.
    First be sure that your explorer is set to show hidden files, then search in the explorer for that catalog.pse12db file.
    Double click on the catalog.pse12db file to open PSE12 with the new restored catalog.
    Does it work for you ?

  • Pages document "could not be read" bc. it "does not have a valid format"

    The document in question was properly saved and Pages was not open when my computer hung as it was shutting down. MS Word would not quit or force-quit and I had to hard restart the computer. When I later tried to open this Pages document, which I had been working on before Word froze, Page would not open it and responded with the error message: "This document "document_name.pages" could not be read. This document does not have a valid format." When I looked at the document in question I noticed that its file size was 0KB. I have no idea why this happened, but I suppose it has to do with my computer not shutting down properly and perhaps with Word freezing. If I repair my drive permission, re-index it, anything, will it help? Just a note on the status of this machine: spotlight stopped working earlier this morning and I was waiting to finish this document before repairing disk permissions and trying to fix that issue with Spotlight.
    In the meantime I have tried various fixes. First I tried to change the file ending to .zip, unpack it and open it. Then the same, but this time I tried to view package contents. It doesn't show up in the contextual menu as even having a package to show the contents of. The file is effectively empty, but I don't know where the contents went! The funny thing is that the MS Word doc was recovered automatically. Is it possible that Pages doesn't have an auto-recovery mechanism?
    I need this file urgently, or at least the text in it. It is the bibliography of an important paper due tomorrow at 5 pm.Any advice or suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
    BTW, I have used a file-recovery program in the past. It is called "Stellar Phoenix" and it worked wonderfully to find a Word doc that I accidentally deleted. It can't find .pages document though. In order to do so, I would need to tell the program what the average file size is, as well as the header information as follows. "Header (in hexadecimal)" "At Offset (in decimal)". I have no idea what this means, but if I could insert it, perhaps it could find the lost data. Should I have it search for .pages, .zip, .xml? I'm at a loss, but I know that it doesn't recognize .pages. In the meantime, I sent a support email to them and will see what happens.
    Thank you for your help.
    David

    I can't respond before.
    When the system say that your file size is 0KB, it means that nothing was saved. Only a file descripto exists.
    So, there is nothing to recover.
    Given the time the system crashed, you may have :
    (1) a simple descriptor with nothing written
    (2) a folder with every or only some of the required files.
    In this case, Phoenix is useless : it's unable to revive a folder.
    (3) a flatfile (a compressed version of the folder named above). It's only this kind of file which Phoenix may revive.
    With a bit of luck, Phoenix would be able to revive the index.xml file which was in the original folder created in the temporary folder.
    This file starts with :
    <?xml version="1.0"?><sl:document xmlns:sfa="http://developer.apple.com/namespaces/sfa"
    or
    <?xml version="1.0"?>
    <sl:document xmlns:sfa="http://developer.apple.com/namespaces/sfa"
    The minimal size for a Pages index.xml file is : 520038 bytes.
    If you retrieve the index.xml file, we may try to rebuild an usable package.
    Ask the recovery tool to transfer the recovered file on an other media.
    If the document embedded pictures, the index will give their path and their size which may be useful to recover them.

  • De-authorizing itunes? Several of my authorized pc's have died, and have no way to deauthorize iTunes on them. Now I am unable to synch purchases on my Iphone to new computer with iTunes because I already have 5 computers authorized. What can be done?

    Several of my authorized pc laptops and desktops have completely died over the years, and have no way to deauthorize iTunes on them. Now I am unable to synch purchases on my Iphone to new computer with iTunes because I already have 5 computers authorized. What can be done?

    Deauthorise all to reset to zero, then authorize again.
    Following quote from Apple Support:
    If you need to authorize your new computer and are unable due to already having five authorized computers, you can deauthorize all computers by doing the following:
    Click iTunes Store on the left side of iTunes.
    If you're not signed in to the store, click the Account button, then enter your account name and password.
    Click the Account button again (your Apple ID appears on the button), enter your password, and then click View Account.
    In the Account Information window, click Deauthorize All.
    Note: You may only use this feature once per year. The Deauthorize All button will not appear if you have fewer than two authorized computers. If you need assistance on using this feature, please contact iTunes Store support via email (http://www.apple.com/support/itunes/store/).

  • I have the 20gb iPod that I need to put music back onto with my new computer. It starts to sync then it says "ITunes could not copy the song to the iPod because the file could not be read or written. ????

    I have a 20gb iPod that needs music from ITunes. On my new computer I am trying to sync but I get error message "could not copy to iPod because file could not be read or written. Attempting to copy to the disk failed. The disk could not be read from or written to." I have tried several times and have reset to factory settings.

    Is the new PC running XP as well, Chalotte?
    If so, I might start with the following document (your error message is a possible symptom of the issue too):
