I need a "I have done it" answer to moving iTunes LYRICS

I bought an external hard drive in order to move iTunes IN FULL to this drive, because my MacBook Pro is filling up. However, in reviewing the information about how to do this, I admit I'm getting scared. Today, I updated my back-up of same to a large hard-drive, and find that I cannot see the lyrics I've spent hours and hours entering!
I've seen lots of entries here and elsewhere about what "should work" but very, VERY few of them mention the lyrics. But I sure see lots of problems in other similar areas, such as playlists.
It will not be terrible if I had to recreate my playlists; but to reimport my lyrics will be real torture. (I started, today, pasting them into a separate file, as I listen to them, but since I have a few hundred.....)
(I even tried Automator, as a work around for the task ahead of me; but all that happened with my rookie attempt was that the song played, and then I got a message about some sort of failure.)
So, if anyone can help me from hand's on experience, I'd sure love it.
Thanks so much.

Have you reinstalled or updated the OS on the computer ? It could also just be a bug of the system.

  • HT4113 my daughters ipad is still frozen, passcode locked, my ohter daughter decided to change it then forget it, so now what . I have done the whole connect to itunes, it keeps aksing for a password, i dont have it and i cant get into the pad at all. Hel

    My daughters ipad mini is locked out. Dont ask, sister changed password, cnat remember now we are locked out. I have tried the hwole connect to itunes but nothing, it keeps telling u s we need to unlock the ipad. No Dah!!! Thats what I need help with. please?

    If you have Find My iPhone enabled, you can use Remote Wipe to erase the contents of your device. If you have been using iCloud to back up, you may be able to restore the most recent backup to reset the passcode after the device has been erased.
    Alternatively, place the device in recovery mode and restore it to erase the device:
    Disconnect the USB cable from the device, but leave the other end of the cable connected to your computer's USB port.
    Turn off the device: Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button for a few seconds until the red slider appears, then slide the slider. Wait for the device to shut down.
    While pressing and holding the Home button, reconnect the USB cable to the device. The device should turn on.
    Continue holding the Home button until you see the Connect to iTunes screen.
    iTunes will alert you that it has detected a device in recovery mode. Click OK, and then restore the device.

  • I have lost my Itunes account.. My guess is when i downloaded the new 10.O version that is when it messed my itunes completely up. I have done everything possible to get Itunes back on my computer and it's not working. I have spent 1000$ of dollars and ca

    I have had itunes for a couple of years and now all of the sudden I don't. I have submitted several attempts to try and get it back on my Windows XP and no luck. I have purchased a dang Pc 3212 help that just cost me 35$ and that didn't work and I've rebooted, system restore and none of it is working. I'm to mad right now and i just want the darn thing fixed and I am getting so frustrated, this is one thing that I look forward to getting new music and now I have a 25$ Itunes card that I can't even use and why I don't know what else to do. Please fix this Laura

    If your library was working on your computer and then popped up empty all of a sudden then this might be what you need...
    Empty/corrupt library after upgrade/crash
    Hopefully it's not been too long since you last upgraded iTunes, in fact if you get an empty/incomplete library immediately after upgrading then with the following steps you shouldn't lose a thing or need to do any further housekeeping. In the Previous iTunes Libraries folder should be a number of dated iTunes Library files. Take the most recent of these and copy it into the iTunes folder. Rename iTunes Library.itl as iTunes Library (Corrupt).itl and then rename the restored file as iTunes Library.itl. Start iTunes. Should all be good, bar any recent additions to or deletions from your library.
    See iTunes Folder Watch for a tool to catch up with any changes since the backup file was created.
    When you get it all working make a backup!

  • HT1420 I have tried several times to pay and download one track as I have done many times before now iTunes keeps on refusing to let me buy blurred lines single keeps on throwing security questions at me why nothing has charged for them to do this

    Why nothing has changed let me buy this tune with the same ID and password that I have used to purchase other tracks with no problems,

    We are fellow users here on these forums, you're not talking to iTunes Support. The questions should only be asked on the first purchase on a new computer or device, but other people have also posted recently about them being asked when it isn't. If you are being asked them then you will need to answer them before you can purchase.
    If you can't remember their answers and you have a rescue email address (which is not the same thing as an alternate email address) set up on your account then go to https://appleid.apple.com/ and click 'Manage your Apple ID' on the right-hand side of that page and log into your account. Then click on 'Password and Security' on the left-hand side of that page and on the right-hand side you should see an option to send security question reset info to your rescue email address.
    If you don't have a rescue email address (you won't be able to add one until you can answer 2 of your questions) then you won't get the reset option - you will need to contact iTunes Support or Apple to get them reset.
    e.g. you can try contacting iTunes Support : http://www.apple.com/support/itunes/contact/ - click on Contact iTunes Store Support on the right-hand side of the page, then Account Management , and then 'Forgotten Apple ID security questions'
    or try ringing Apple in your country and ask to talk to the Accounts Security Team : http://support.apple.com/kb/HE57
    When they've been reset (and if you don't already have a rescue email address) you can then use the steps half-way down this page to add a rescue email address for potential future use : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5312 . Or if it's available in your country you could change to 2-step verification : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5570

    Most likely you have Office 2004 which are PPC-only applications and will not work in Lion. Upgrade to Office 2011. Other alternatives are:
    Apple's iWork suite (Pages, Numbers, and Keynote.)
    Open Office (Office 2007-like suite compatible with OS X.)
    NeoOffice (similar to Open Office.)
    LibreOffice (a new direction for the Open Office suite.)

  • I have to give my iPad back to my employer but am buying new one when it comes out. I have done a back up to iTunes. If i click 'restore' to restore it to factory settings will i still be able to sync new one to the back up?

    As above, or would it be better to do a 'reset' of all settings from within the settings of the ipad itself, separate from an itunes back up or sync?

    This is the way that I would do it.
    If you backed up the iPad to iTunes on your computer and there is content that you want to keep - you can restore from that backup - but wipe the iPad on the device itself.
    Go to Settings>General>Reset>Erase all content and settings. That will totally remove all content from the iPad and it can be set up as brand new again.
    But bear in mind that any content that is on the iPad now - that your employer paid for or purchased with the company's Apple ID cannot be put on your new iPad without you continuing to use that Apple ID. So if you are going to use another Apple ID on the iPad, you will not be able to update those apps. If the content on the iPad was purchased with your ID and it belongs to you, then you are good to go.

    You don't need to upgrade your software.  But if you're struggling with Spry, IMO you should cut your losses and switch to something better for the longrun.
    If you have a budget to work with, I highly recommend Project Seven's Pop-Menu Magic 3.  It's easy to use in DW CS4, 5, 6 or CC.  More importantly, it's bullet proof and works in all devices.

    http://www.projectseven.com/products/menusystems/pmm3/index.htm
    If you don't have a budget to work with, you can roll your own menus with jQuery plugins.  A bit more effort on your part, but they perform better than Spry.

  • I have a 3rd generation ipod nano. I upgraded to lion. I tried to buy an audio book and download it to my nano like I have done at least 50 times before. Now the dialog box states that I need an ipod touch for the same function. MacBook Pro 2008 w/ m.trac

    I have a 3rd generation ipod nano. I recently upgraded to Lion which is causing lots of issues. Aside from that, I went to the Itunes store to purchase books like I have done at least 100 times before with no problems. Now I can by the book and get it to my computer, however when I tried to download the book to my 3rd generation ipod the dialog box informed me that to download any new audiobook purchases I would need an ipod touch. My ipod nano 3rd generation serves my purposes just fine. Why should I be forced to buy something I do not want just to continue something I have always done seamlessly? I know this is more of a rant than a question but I am sure someone else out there has had this happen to them. Maybe you could share your thoughts on how to work around this issue if possible?

    I forgot to add the last obvious and crucial step I had taken - plugging a different iPod into my system. It was also not recognized. That was the final proof I needed to determine if the problem was device or system. But now what?
    I truly appreciate any help I can get!
    Thanks again...

  • I have a canon 70d and just purchased elements 12. It will not open a raw file for me. I have been advised to download the latest version of camera raw, i have done this and it still says my camera is not supported. I really need to open my raw files. Can

    i have a canon 70d and just purchased elements 12. It will not open a raw file for me. I have been advised to download the latest version of camera raw, i have done this and it still says my camera is not supported. I really need to open my raw files. Can anybody help me.

    You'll need to update to at least ACR 8.2 for the 70D to be recognized.  The normal way to update PSE12 to the latest CR is to use Help / Updates in the Editor which should update to ACR 8.5.
    According to Adobe's website PSE12 shipped with ACR 8.1 and you say it says yours is reported as ACR 8.0.
    Are you using PSE 11 and not 12?  PSE 11's maximum ACR version is 8.0.

  • After installing Leopard, my G4 will no longer boot in OS 9.22. (Classic still works, but I need it to boot in OS 9.)  Any clues about what the Leopard installer might have done to my machine that rendered OS 9 boot unusable? What can I do to fix it?

    After installing Leopard, my G4 will no longer boot in OS 9.22.
    (Classic still works, but I need it to boot in OS 9.)
    Any clues about what the Leopard installer might have done to my machine that rendered OS 9 boot unusable? (And what can I do to fix it?)
    Details:
    G4 Gigabit Ethernet
    Boot ROM version: 4.2.8fl
    Accelerator card added: 1.6 MHz
    1.5 Gig Ram
    I have erased the partition that had Leopard installed on it.
    I zapped the pram.
    In Open Firmware, I "reset-nvram", and then "reset-all"
    I tried to reinstall G4 FW Update 4.2.8, but that must be done when booted from OS 9, and of course, that's the problem: it won't boot into 9.
    I tried restarting from 9.2.1 DVD.
    I tried restarting from an external firewire drive containing OS 9.2.2.
    I tried moving a fresh OS 9.2.2 system folder into an empty partition on an internal hard drive. (Partition was created WITH OS 9 drivers installed.)
    All attempts to boot into OS 9 give me the same results - grey screen - no spinning beach ball, no icons or logos - just a blank grey screen.
    This machine still works fine in OS 10.3 and 10.4, and it worked fine for many years booting into OS 9, until I installed Leopard, and I haven't been able to boot into OS 9 since then, although I have done considerable research online and tried many things.
    I have since learned that this machine does not support Leopard - 10.5. Fine, but how did it break 9.2.2?
    Any help greatly appreciated.

    Thanks for checking in, BDAQua.
    Problem solved.
    In the docs that came with my Powerlogix accelerator card, I found this sentence buried:
    "If you reset the PRAM, the NVRAM code for OS9 compatibility is cleared, so you will have to boot from the Firmawre Update CD and perform this process again in order to boot in OS9."
    The "process" it's referring to is the process of setting up the NVRAM for booting into OS9 from the CD.
    Fortunately, I was able to find the disk, and it worked as expected. I can now, once again boot into OS9.
    Conclusion: My (unadvised) attempt to load Leopard on this old machine apparently reset the PRAM on the accelerator card and cleared the NVRAM code for OS9 boot. Although I did attempt to reset the NVRAM via Open Firmware, it did not reset it on the accelerator card.
    So, thank you BDAQua, for your "Ah yes" . . . that's all I needed to steer me in the right direction.
    Gratefully,
    tupester
