I MIGRATED MUSIC AND PHOTOS FROM PC TO NEW IMAC VIA ETHERNET/MIGRATION ASSISTANT. IT SAID that job was completed but i cannot find anyof my stuff. where is it?
i cannot find music, photos or documents after migrating from pc to new imac. both computers said transfer was successful but i cannot find anything. where is it?
It went to a new user Account.
Go to: Apple > System Preferences > Users & Groups to see the new Account.
For more info, see > About Windows Migration Assistant
Notes
This process will create a new user account on your Mac that contains the data migrated from the Windows PC. It will not merge the information with any existing user accounts on your Mac.
This article only applies to migrating from a Windows-based PC to a Mac. For assistance with performing a migration from one Mac to another, please see How to use Migration Assistant to transfer files from another Mac.
Windows-specific file types, such as .exe files, are not transferred.
You will need to enter your password when you first use an account, such as when you use your transferred email account in the Mail application for the first time.

Any advice would be apprecitated.
ThanksSystem Preferences/Users & Groups shows you the various user accounts you have.
Look at your hard drive in the Finder sidebar. You should see Applications, Library, System, and Users. If you look in Users you will see a Shared folder. From the user Migration Assistant created, find the iTunes folder and drag it to Shared. Log out and log in using your normal user account, go to the same place and copy it to Music in your normal user account. Another option is to leave it in shared so any user can access it. You will have to tell iTunes where to find the music by going to iTunes/Preferences/Advanced.

How do I transfer itunes music and apps from PC to new iMac
I'm setting up my new imac and I'm trying to figure out how to transfer my iphone apps to the imac. I've transferred the music over but I'm stumped on the apps. A little help for a mac newbie?
Hi,
Pretty common question and welcome to owning a Mac. Here is an article that should help walk you through it.
Move iTunes Library from PC to Mac
BTW here are some additional links you may find very helpful. I'd recommend bookmarking them and studying them, there is a huge amount of useful information in them.

How do I delete music and photos from my iCloud account? I've read that you can't. Really? Is that true?
You can delete photo stream photos from iCloud by just deleting them on your iPod. My photo stream photos are automatically deleted from iCloud after 30 days anyway. Just so you are aware, deleting photo stream photos doesn't free up any space in your account as they don't use your personal iCloud account storage.
You can't delete music from iCloud because the music isn't stored in your account; it's stored in the iTunes store. What you are seeing are links to your previously purchased music in the iTuens store, allowing you to redownload them if you want to. You can't remove anything from your list of previous purchases. If you don't want to see these "iTunes in the Cloud" purchases in your song list, go to Settings>iTunes & App Store and turn off Music under Show All. LIke photo stream photos, this music doesn't use any of your personal iCloud account storage. -
I have a new iMac - how do file share my music and photos from my old mac to my new mac?
I want to transfer my music and photos from one Mac to another - but I don't want to transfer anything else - what is the best way to do this?
Thanksthe simplest way would be to connect the two Macs with a firewire cable, boot the source Mac in Target Disk Mode, and copy the entire iTunes folder (not just the iTunes music folder) from /users//music on the source to /users//music on the target (overwriting the iTunes folder in place there).
do the same with your iPhoto library. see this support article for more information (except, you won't have to option-launch iPhoto) -
my wife just got the new macbook air. What cable do I need to copy music and photos from my 2007 macbook to the new macbook air?
Try doing it without a cable!
Use AirDrop, described here:

UPDATE - Oh, sorry, I see the article points out the MacBook is too old for AirDrop.

I just purchased an iPad 2. I currently have an iPhone 4 (not 4s). I was told that I could get all the apps, music and photos from my iphone onto my ipad. I tried backing up my phone and restoring my ipad from my phone. Didn't work. It setup successfully but nothing transfered over. iCloud only gave me my contacts and calendar. HELP!

How do I transfer music and photos from my iPhone 4s to my iPad
HHow do I transfer music and photos from my iPhone 4s to my ipad
You cannot directly transfer anything from an iPhone to an iPad. If your iPad is signed onto the same Apple ID as your iPhone in Settings>iTunes & App Store, then it has access to the same Music library as your phone. Click on the More tab in the iTunes App on your iPad, and then on Purchased, Not on this iPad to see all of the music available to download to the iPad. You can also set the "Automatic Downloads" option to ON in Settings>iTunes & App Store and going forward, any music you purchase on the iPhone or via iTunes on a computer will automatically download to your iPad. Set the same setting on the iPhone to have it do the same.
As for photos. If both the iPhone and iPad are signed onto the same iCloud ID in Settings>iCloud, then turn on Photo Stream on both the iPad and iPhone to share Photo Stream photos between the two devices. Photos on your Camera Roll that are no longer on Photo Stream, or photos in other Photo Albums would have to be sync'd to the iPad via iTunes on the computer you sync with (assuming you have imported your photos to that computer).
Cheers,

my old computer is broken, so how do i get my music and photos from my iPod onto iTunes on my new computer. It says it can only be synced to 1. but my old 1 is broken.
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.
https://discussions.apple.com/thread/2452022?start=0&tstart=0
Keep in mind that the recovered photos will not be in their full resolution, but instead will be the scaled down versions that were optimized in size and resolution to fit your iPod's smaller LCD screen.

Can I reinstall music and photos from my ipad
Hi Stephen,
You'd need to use a 3rd party program to remove the content off your iPad, iTunes is only designed to sync purchased content off the iPad (content that was purchased on the iPad). There are several 3rd party offerings, a popular one is called Senuti. -
Is it possible to copy music and photos from the Ipad to the Imac without syncing
With content purchased/downloaded from the iTunes store only.
You need to transfer your iTunes library and your photos from your PC to your Mac along with all other important data from your PC that you will want or need to access on your Mac - no different when switching from one computer to another under any circumstances.

Imovie won't load my itunes music and photos from iphoto.
Imovie won't load my itunes music and photos from iphoto. This also does not work on my garageband for itunes music. I have tried backing my itunes media and rebuilding but it has not helped. Anyone with a solution?
Note that you have to actually run the update - where you get the window where you have the choices to "Update" or "Restore" your iPod (you'll of course want to "Update"). It sounds to me like you downloaded the updater but did not actually run it to update your iPod.
Hope this helps.
