I need help with Backing up Music

I need to back up my songs because I got an error message telling me to uninstall and reinstall I-Tunes. However, when I tried to back up my files on CD's it didn't work right. Some of the music was garbled........Am I doing something wrong? Should I choose Audio CD or MP3 CD or Data DVD? My goal is to make sure I save my music to reinstall on the new version of I-Tunes but, it would be nice to be able to play the CD's in my stereo as well. Thanks for any help that I receive!

I meant to add that - Back up disc is not anywhere in the Files sections, not under LIbrary, nowhere.

Need help with backed up photos-now cannot view..?

Using iphoto 6, super duper, seagate external hd. Drive has already been set-up and backed up several times-been working well........until.......
Last night, I saw that out of 120gb I have about 5gb left on my G4.!
"decided" to back-up iphotos and "delete" some on my G4 to reserve more space.
Now, if I go to the external and click on pictures folder, I can see all of my originals folders (2002-2008), but when I open iphoto, they are not in iphoto.?
On my G4, it's the same thing, but worse! When I tried to delete my photos, I was holding the apple key and selecting multiple items, then dragging them to the trash.......I'm sure you have done this yourself before, but It drug them a little, then them "dropped" into other places in the same folder-NOT the trash! They are in all different places in the pictures folder, and not in the same places they used to be......!!!
I've read about "re-constructing" the library. Will this work? I do not want to do any more damage. They are there-I know it!
So, I drug the entire library of "originals" back into iphoto, but ALMOST all of the way through (got down to 100 out of 8,000 photos) and got a message that says "an error occured while trying to save your iphoto library. Make sure you have enough hard disk space and that iphoto is able to access the iphoto library folder."
I look at my hd space, and I have about 500mb left....?
What does this mean? I THINK I don't have enough hd space to do it now. What the **** should I do? Getting a little frustrated at this point. I am off tomorrow and want to get it fixed up.
8,000 of my childrens photos is nothing to "play" with. I can't believe I was so stupid with these. These mean the world to me, and I'm pretty sure they are still there. Obviously they are because about 60gb of hd space is being used up with my photos according to the program "what size?" I downloaded to use.
Where to start?
First, thanks for reading this, and second---could someone help me out some?
Could someone please post a link to help me to correctly partition the seagate external hd, and get these photos backed up?
Also, what is the best way to free up my hd space on my G4? I also have a mini with 60gb of storage if I need additional hd space. In addition, I have an iphone, itouch, imac, 3 nanos, ipod hi-fi,,,,,,,Obviously, I LOVE my Apple products, but don't have enough knowledge to operate them.....kinda sad, huh?

This is the iPhoto '08 forum (version 7.x.x) and you may very well get incorrect answers to questions about other versions - it would be better to post in the iPhoto 6 forum - http://discussions.apple.com/forum.jspa?forumID=1116

Need help with my iPod music library

I made a back-up of my iPod music library by enabling disk use and copying the music folder from the iPod_Control folder. I recently had to restore (some minor problems when I installed iTunes 7 and updated my iPod), and I moved the songs from the backup music folder to my iPod. All of the files transfered, but my iPod doesn't show the new library. I'm assuming that I have to refresh the library, maybe by deleting the old library file somehow. Any advice? I had songs on my iPod that I no longer have acceess to due to my laptop dying, so simply resynching to my current iTunes library won't help, and I'd rather not look through all the crazy folders in my backup to find my missing tracks. Thanks!
iPod w/video Windows XP

The iPod usually won't view the songs properly unless iTunes puts them on there.
But, you have that folder, which is a good thing.
I would have iTunes update your iPod with those songs.
In iTunes, go to File-->Add folder to library. Add the iPod_Control folder to the library.
iTunes will import all of those songs into your iTunes library with the correct names and everything. Then you can update your iPod with iTunes and get all your music on there and recognized. Do not delete or move the folder once you add it to iTunes, as iTunes may be reading the music from it, and moving it may not allow you to play songs in your iTunes library.
I would restore your iPod before you put the music on there though, as the music you manually added to the iPod may be taking up space and iTunes won't be able to fill that space with music.

Help with backing up music

I want to back up my purchaced music on a cd. I already did back up 2 songs. But when I wanted to back up another song at a different time it said I need a blank disc.
There has got to be another way of backing up on a disc and not wasting space on a disc everytime you want to back up just a song.
Has anyone got any suggestions?

See if this can help;

I need help with my N70 Music Edition!

How do I fix it? Whenever I press the music button or go to the tracks in the gallery, it processes and by the time it finishes, it goes back to the wallpaper/desktop/starting screen. I still have 54mb out of my 1gb memory card. It's getting hard for me not being able to play my songs. I can't format the memory card because I have no backup and I can't backup the files in my laptop. The laptop only has less than 1gb memory. HELP PLEASE. Thanks

They stole my hard drive with my original pictures, need help with back up

Someone stole my hard drive in my bag with the pictures I use with Lightroom. I have a clean backup of my original until November last year : the folder is similar of the folder I use in LR. But for the rest, I have a back up of the original pictures in my mac, but I think it's bit messy, because after that I deleted and move and renemae some picture in LR, and I didn't sync the back up folder. The folder is just a back up when I imported my picture in LR for the first time. So, I'm afraid LR won't find all the pictures. I don't really know how to explain better. But I will apreciate some help before started, and I don't want to mess it up. What can I do to find my LR back?

One way to approach this is to reinstate the backup you have as of November, then Import the images since then as a new import (as you'd be using the .lrcat from November, so it won't see any of the more recent as duplicate]. Of course, no edits nor keywords will be associated with those more recent photos, but this might be the way to assure you pick up everything since then.
Sorry about you bad news/luck on the theft. Bummer.

Need help with backing up problems with Iphone 4

I just recently backed up my iphone because I accidently deleted all content on phone... So when i got home a day later i backed up my phone and everything is back except apps, contacts, and music. so my phone looks almost brand new. and now when i plug it in it has the option to back it up or start it new again AFTER i had already backed it up several times.... Anyone know a solution to my frustrating problem??

10 GB is pretty marginal. The problem is that previous backups were "incremental", recording only changes to the previous backup. Now you are making a full backup of the iPhone 5 (iTunes will keep the last iPhone 4 backup around) so you need enough free disk to do a complete backup rather than incremental.
Try restarting your Mac. That usually frees up a lot of memory (temporarily).

Need help with back up and restore!

I need to sync my ipad with my new Mini, so I backed it up to it and then selected sync with this computer and restore from back up. Now my pics and email are there but all my apps are not. How do I get my apps and app data back? Stupid Apple support told me to do it this way and all my stuff would go right back on it.

Are the apps on your computer's iTunes ? If not, then as long as the apps are still available in the store, and you use the same iTunes account as you originally used to buy them, then you should be able to re-download them for free : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2519 . You could then try restoring to your backup and see if that restores them and their settings/content - a backup doesn't contain the actual apps, just their content/settings, so for the restore to work fully iTunes needs access to the apps so that it can restore them.

Need help with backing upgrading iphone

Hi Forum community!
So I finally decided to upgrade from the 1st gen iphone to the 3GS. The problem is that the laptop I was syncing my old iphone on crashed and I lost everything >:^(
So basically I have all the videos and songs stuck on my old iphone. When I try to sync with another laptop I get a message that all of my old songs will be deleted since none of them are in the new laptop's itunes playlist.
Question: How do I get all my media off of my old iphone and onto my new one without losing any data?? (again, there is no backup of the songs or videos)
thanks, any help will be greatly appreciated.
-MO-

The problem is that most of my music was unpurchased (they are uncopywrited live DJ mixes). The videos are DVDs that I converted so that I can watch them on the iphone.
Any ideas on how I can transfer the files to my computer?

*I installed Itunes and went to the advanced tab to select were I want itunes to search for music and stuff*
That setting doesn't tell iTunes to search a particular folder, it simply sets the location of your iTunes Music folder for future imports or for when you add files to your library? Is your iTunes Library (.itl) file kept on the external drive or did you keep it in the iTunes folder on you old PC? If you moved it to your external drive then hold down the Shift key in Windows when opening iTunes. In the resulting dialogue you will get the option to create a new library or navigate to an existing one. Navigate to where you placed the copy of the library file and open it up: How to open an alternate iTunes Library file
If you didn't keep the library file on the external then you'll have to make a new one. In iTunes go to File>Add Folder to Library and navigate to your music folder on the external drive. You'll have to recreate any playlists you had in the old library.

HT204247 Need help with backing up phone.

I need to download my photos and backup my old phone so that I can transfer everything to my new phone. I am getting a message that my storage is full.

Hi rakishchick,
I see that your iCloud storage is full, but you wish to be able to back up your iPhone. Here is an article about managing your iCloud storage:

https://support.apple.com/en-is/HT204247
Alternatively, you could always back up your iPhone to iTunes:

I need help with backing up before SSD upgrade

Hey guys!
Im thinking about buying a SSD for my MacBook Pro mid-2012 because it is starting to run really slow. I have understood all instructions of installing the hard drive. The problem i have is figuring out how to transfer all my data from my current HDD to the SSD.
Now to the real question(kind off), would it be possible to transfer the data by connecting the SSD via SATA-USB cable to my MacBook and then run a TimeMachine backup to the SSD?

If you are going to use Internet Recovery to handle installing on the SSD, then the only thing you will need is an external enclosure in which to put your old HDD. You won't need to clone it. But if you need to, then use Disk Utility to clone it via the Restore option:
Clone using Restore Option of Disk Utility
1. Open Disk Utility in the Utilities folder.
2. Select the destination volume from the left side list.
3. Click on the Restore tab in the DU main window.
4. Select the destination volume from the left side list and drag
it to the Destination entry field.
5. Select the source volume from the left side list and drag it to
the Source entry field.
6. Double-check you got it right, then click on the Restore button.
Destination means the external backup drive. Source means the original HDD.
I also recommend any one of the following utilities for cloning and backups:
Suggested Backup Software
1. Carbon Copy Cloner
2. Get Backup
3. Deja Vu
4. SuperDuper!
5. Synk Pro
6. Tri-Backup

Need Help with back up assisant plus

I recently activated Back up assistant plus. It started downloading pictures to my photo. It did not allow me to pick which pictures I wanted to download. Then it downloaded some of them several times. I have multiple copies of several pictures on my phone.
How do I delete ALL the pictures that back up asst. put on my phone? And stop it from downloading any more photos?

Yep, to really maximize the way Android and Google work together, you have a primary gmail account with that contact list doubling as your contact list for your Android phone. That way, anytime you add a contact via your smartphone, it's automatically uploaded to your gmail contact list. If you enter a contact via your PC at home, it automatically is loaded in your phone as well. It's a pretty cool set up. Disable your B.U. A Plus and the next time you enter a contact, select the email account you want to save the info to and you're good to go!
