I need help transfering music from my Zen Sleek to my computer, ple

Ok, so I updated the firmware on my sleek, and when i got to the Media>Music Folder, I can't transfer any of the songs by drag and drop. The files have no name and it just won't let me transfer. Is there any way/software I can use to do that? Thank you.

This seems like an RTFM situation :smileyvery-happy: If you use Creative Media Organizer you can drag files either way, from the PC Music Library to the Sleek or vice versa. Spend some time with the software playing around with it and you'll figure it out.Message Edited by dvallere on -06-2005 05:54 PM

I need help transferring music from old PC to iPhone

Ok...I apologize in advance for the length of this post, but I have tried everything and my husband is no longer amused!
His iTunes account was created many years ago with an iPod Nano. I don't even remember which computer I had at the time and do not think I still have the original. The majority of his music is ripped from CD's. When Verizon finally got the iPhone, he got one immediately. I remember having to download the Pod to PC software at some point to move music from the iPod to a new computer. For some reason, I think the original crashed? (I don't know if this is relevant) Anyway, I think it was easy to originally put the music on the new phone.
At some point, however, it was lost from the phone. And, then that phone was dropped and the glass broken. He bought another from a friend. The current one has only the purchased music that is in his iCloud account.
Now, this is my issue. I have an old Toshiba Laptop that appears to have all of the music in the iTunes library. However, when I plug in the iPhone (which is a 4 by the way, but has been updated) it does not even recognize that it's plugged in. and, nothing I can do seems to allow me to update iTunes to a more current version. I'm sure this is the computer itself as it is barely hanging on. (and never used!)
I also believe that the old iPhone still has the music on it, but I can't be sure as the screen is so badly cracked that I can't access it.
So: two questions: Can I some how get the files off of the old computer and transfer them to the iPad and then push them to the phone? Say, with a flash drive or drop box or iCloud?
OR: should I just take the old phone and plug it into my computer (a Macbook Pro)... but if this is the way to do it... how exactly do I have two iTunes accounts and libraries on one computer? I'm sure this is going to be the most suggested option, but honestly, I would prefer to not do it this way if there is another option.
Any help that you can offer will be so very appreciated as I have wasted a lot of time trying to figure this all out!

st double checked and all of the folders are in the new computer. I can see the whole library in iTunes on the new computer but when you click on a song, it states that "The original file could not be found. Would you like to locate it?

HT1296 Need help transferring music from iPhone to computer

My computer crashed when I was trying to make backups of everything on it and I wasn't able to backup my music. But now that my computer is fixed how do I get music from my iPhone back onto my computer? Any suggestions. And all my music wasn't purchased through iTunes.

For non-iTunes purchased music you'll have to use a third-party tool. Google for "iphone music copy" for options. For iTunes purchased content just choose "Transfer purchases..." from the File menu in iTunes.

New mac user, need help transferring music from external hard drive

I am new to using a mac. I have had an iphone for almost a year so I am catching on quickly to my macbook but this problem has stumped me and all my mac using friends.
I have a 500gb seagate external hard drive aswell as a new 500gb seagate internal.
I transferred all my music from an old ipod onto the external hard drive. There is about 50gb of music.
When I plug my external into my pc desktop I can see the music folder organized into subfolders with files inside that are encoded unless they are opened in itunes. My pc doesn't have enough internal memory to open and store my music library so I have just left it on the hard drive. When I plug the hard drive into my macbook it will show the music folder as having 50gb but when the folder is opened, none of the subfolders or files are visable.
I went ahead and dragged the folder from my harddrive onto my desktop. It took about an hour to transfer all the files but now the folder is sitting on my desktop and when I open it, it is empty. If i look in the folders info, it says it has the 50gb. If i try to drag and drop it into itunes nothing happens. If I drag and drop it into the itunes music folder, it will go there but will not show up on itunes.
I'm stumped and no longer eligable for apples telephone support as I bought this macbook from a friend. Any help would be greatly appreciated

I have a couple of theories, but I'm not an iTunes expert. These people are, though:

Can anyone help me with transfering my music from my Zen player to my comput

Hi! I have had this Zen for about 2 years now but I had only got the chance to put music on it. I ended up moving awhile ago and completely forgot all about my Zen mp3 and I found it! So now am trying to figure out how to transfer my music from my Zen player onto my computer. Thanks a lot
-Diana-

I was having a similar proble. My Zen Micro was saying that errors occured while trying to sync from the player back to the computer. If the same thing happens to you, the problem is in your music. A dead giveaway is the file type. If your music is?a WMA file rather than an MP3, there's a security device that is embedded in the file that prevents you from syncing back to the computer. There is software that exists that strips that device and converts to MP3, but you have to have the songs on the computer first. I haven't figured that out yet. if you have any luck with this, post back.

New mac user needs help transfering files from Dell...

I have a Dell running Windows XP and need help transfering the files from the dell to the mac.
Also I have no idea what OP system I have, how do you tell which one you have???

Go to the blue Apple menu and scroll down to "About this Mac"
In the summary window that opens you will find the following information:
Mac OS X version (assuming you are running OS X)
Processor speed.
Memory
Startup disk
The More Info button will take you to an in-depth overview of hardware, network set-up and installed software.
As far as transference is concerned, you can either transfer files via CD, DVD, external hard drive... or by networking the two computers.
Here's a link for an overview concerning Mac to PC connectivity:

Transferring music from ipod touch to new pc computer

i just got a new computer, and i downloaded itunes, but i cannot move the music from my ipod to the new computer. can any one help?

That is true. The music sync is one way - computer to ipod.
The exception is itunes purchased music. Without syncing: File>Transfer Purchases
You should really move everything from the old computer, or your backup copy of your old computer, to the new one.

Transfering Music From My Zen Micro to My Hard Dr

Hi Everyone, I've tried looking through the forums for an answer to my question but I haven't been lucky as of yet - apologies if this is a common issue.
My problem is that I'd like to transfer all the music on my Zen Micro on to my PC's Hard Dri've.
I can see Creatvie Zen Micro on My Computer - I can click on the icon and view the individual music files but it does not let me copy and paste them on to my hard dri've.
My hard dri've on my PC failed recently and I'd like to put all the songs on my MP3 player back onto my PC - but I just can't seem to get it to work.
My details are -
Player - Creative Zen Micro 5gb
Version - .0.03
I have XP Pro with SP2 - and I've downloaded Creative MediaSource Organizer.
If any one can help me solve this issue - even if its a step by step way of getting the files on to my hard dri've (I don't mind being patronised! ) I would be eternally grateful!!
Thanks - I hope I get a reply soon - my hair is getting greyer by the second!
Ry

Here is what you should do:
- Download and install the latest Creative MediaSource Player/Organizer 3.30.2 from your product download site. Make sure that you install this first before installing the rest of the MediaSource plugins listed below.
- For non-PlaysForSure Zen series: Download and install the latest Creative Zen and NOMAD Jukebox plugin 2.00.20 for Creative MediaSource from your product download site.
- Download and install the latest Creative MediaSource Plugin for CD Burner 3.0.8 from your product download site.
- Launch Creative MediaSource Oragnizer.
- Go to Tools->Settings->PC Music Library and click Properties. Set your preferred folder and file naming convention. Close the setting page.
- In the Sources window, click to view PC Music Library.
- Go to View->Right Panel View and select to view your MP3 player.
- Transfer the tracks from your MP3 player to MediaSource's PC Music Library by clicking the arrow pointing from right to left.
- If you have updated the track information of the tracks in your MP3 player, the updated track information will also be imported into the PC Music Library database. However, the tags of the files are not updated. Here is what you need to do. Right click the PC Music Library node in the Sources window or right click on any tracks in the PC Music Library window and select "Update Tag". This will update the tag of all the tracks or the selected tracks with the track information as seen in the PC Music Library.

HT204382 Need help uploading musics from PC to Mac.

Hello there,
i have old musics from my PC music folder (.wma files) that i would like to upload into my Mac. is there a free driiver/application that i can use to make the musics play in my Mac? I really dont want to buy a new product but i will if i have to. Please let me know if you can help,

If you want to connect and use an iPod on more than one computer you need to change the update preference in the iPod Summary tab to "Manually manage music and videos" and click Apply. In this mode you just drag and drop whatever you want to the iPod from either library:
Using iPod with Multiple computers
Managing content manually on iPod
iPod 101: Fill 'er Up
Note: When changing from automatic to manual, check the "manually manage music and videos" box in Summary then press the Apply button. "Don't" uncheck Sync Music in the Music tab, it will be unchecked by default when you choose the manual setting, if you uncheck it without setting the iPod to manual first you'll erase all the songs from your iPod
Something else to be aware of when using an iPod in manual mode is that the "Do Not Disconnect" message will remain on the display until you physically eject the device: Safely Disconnect IPod

Need Help transferring music

My husband has the iPod and I have an iPod mini, he has several songs on his iPod, which when i plug his in shows under his name, but they don't show under the library. i need to know how i can copy the songs from his iPod to mine, when they aren't in the general library? he downloaded the music from a friends computer. HELP!!!

If I am following this correctly have purchased music with two different accounts and want to exchange music between them.
You cant. Even if you could copy them you can not play them. All the music purchased though the ITMS is encrypted and can only be played on Apple's iTunes software or Apple iPods that have been activated by that account.
Basically you are assumed to be a theif by default and are locked out of the music you buy. Then you are only allowed to listen to it under specific circumstances.
You can burn the music to CD and then rip it to MP3 files. Then it is unrestricted, however you end up with lower quality music than you paid for, you lose the cover art, and the music file meta data.
Be aware that the RIPPING from CD method violates the user agreement with Apple. If they find out they can cancel you account.

Need help moving music from iPod nano to new computer

I had a computer that had all of my music on it, it was a combination of music I purchased from iTunes, purchased from other places, and that had been transferred from my CDs. That computer died, and the music was lost. My CDs are in storage and I can't put my hands on them easily. All of that music was on my iPod Nano, but when I plug it in it only gives me the option to erase and sync, and I don't want to lose what's on my iPod but I would like to add new music that I've added to iTunes on my new computer to the iPod. Is this even possible?

it 's possible you just have to change your sync option from automatic to manual
the way to do this is the do the following
-open iTunes while ipod is connected
-if you get the message to erase and sync just click cancel
-on the left hand side of the iTunes window click on your device in the devices section
-in the ipod summary page go to the bottom of the page and choose "manually manage music"
-click apply and now any new music you want to sync you just drag the music from the library section and drop it onto the ipod in the devices section in iTunes
hope this helps:)
ps: this is only a temp fix but if you want something more then just a work around just post back

Transferring Music from one zen player to anot

OK, the title says "music match", but the instructions are basically the same. Look at the bottom for a link to an article about WMA formatted songs:

I DESPERATLY NEED HELP TRANSFERING SONGS FROM IPOD TO ITUNES LIBRARY

hi my computer crashed downstairs and i need help moving all my songs from my ipod to my itunes library, on the other computer...will someone please help me?

Hello Markatkis,
Make sure your not connecting it to more than one PC. A new iPOd is set to "Auto Update" by default. With this setting all you do is plug the iPOd into the PC and iTUnes automaticly opens, loads all the songs it has listed in iTunes to the iPod, and after its done, ejects the iPOd.
If you connect it to another PC tho with iTUnes on it you usually get a promtp that in short says "iPOd library linked to another PC, do you want to link to this one" if you click yes, it wipes the iPOd clean and loads only whats on that PC.
Since your new to all of this a great place for you may be the "iPod 101" site. It will show you all the bacis ropes of using your iPOd, using iTUnes, and using them both together. http://www.apple.com/support/ipod101/

I need help transferring files from a locked admin account

I was having trouble connecting to my school's wifi because I couldn't remember my admin password to authenticate the changes. I created a new admin account, and connected to the wifi. I didn't realize by doing this all of my files would be on the old admin account. Now I am completely locked out of the account, and need help getting my files off of it! Any ideas?
