I need to change from one computer to another

I bought my iPhone and learned that i had Mac OSx 10.3 and had to order an upgrade to 10.4 for iTunes to work with the iPhone... Anxious to get started, I used a pc at work to activate the phone and now, a week later -- using osx 10.4.10 and iTunes 7.4.2, I can't get iPhone to appear on the Mac. I can get it to appear on the PC (using xt) but nothing I can do will get it to launch on my mac.
I've read through tons of threads on the subject and poured through the manual. I can't get it to appear. It won't show in the preferences for iTunes either.

Your profile says "G5," but doesn't say which Mac you're using this on. What model are you plugging the iPhone into?
Also, did you install iTunes before or after upgrading to 10.4 (Tiger)? And before or after updating to 10.4.10?
It may be as simple as dragging iTunes (the Application) to the trash, then re-installing iTunes from Apple's web site.

  • Block Diagram Changes from one computer to another.

    When programming in LabVIEW, I generally try to make my block diagrams as neat and orderly as possible. This gives the code a more professional look, as well as making it easier for someone else to quickly understand the program. However, I recently have started doing programming on more than one computer, and have found that my block diagram does not look the same from one computer to another (due to different monitor resolutions). Because of this, the nice, orderly block diagram that I made on one computer looks a bit jumbled on another. Is there any way to fix this, short of standardizing the monitor resolutions on every computer?

    One problem you might encounter is how the application font is rendered on different machines. All text-based diagram nodes (labels, property nodes, globals, locals,...) are affected (grow/shrink) if the font is not the same.

  • Format changes from one computer to another.....how come?

    Just bought a new laptop.......I have been doing all my editing on the computer at home without a problem......all clips are saved in MPEG and everything works fine.....(ultimately posting them all on YouTube).  As I needed to get a new laptop anyway, I set it up so it would have plenty of giddyup to work on videos away from home.  When I copy the folder containing the video clips (all in MPEG) on the desktop at home and then copy the folder to the desktop on the new laptop, the clips have changed from MPEG to MOD format........This results in an error message when I try to preview the clip (in Windows Media Player) about being unable to find the app that created the clip......I can click "try it anyway" and the video will play but minus the audio.  I do all my previewing in Media Player to go through the clips quickly to sort out what I want to keep and what to toss out.
    Why would the format change from MPEG to MOD when I copy the files from desktop at home to laptop?....anyone have any ideas?.....is there a phone number at Adobe that anyone knows of with a human on the other end that may be able to answer if I can figure it out here.  Thanks for any suggestions.

    Welcome to the forum.
    Now,
    When I copy the folder containing the video clips (all in MPEG) on the desktop at home and then copy the folder to the desktop on the new laptop, the clips have changed from MPEG to MOD format
    This is a new one to me. I have never seen any version of Windows that would change the file extension of any file copied, regardless of whether it was over a network, or to a new drive/folder.
    Now, with the JVC cameras, their files are MOD and TOD (for HD material). Could you have copied the wrong folder? Otherwise, something really odd is going on. Could it be that you thought that you had copied a certain folder and actually got one with the same file names, but at the original level, when they were still .MOD?
    Good luck,

  • Need to move music from one computer to another

    Wondering how to move my music from one computer to another. My laptop is being replaced and need to move all my iTunes items from here to a desktop. What is the best/most cost effective way to do this? TY

    It is very easy. First get something to transfer your itunes file to the laptop (network$, thumb drive$$ (depending the size), external hard drive$$$ with cost of drive and plus a case it can be costly). Those are in order of slowness! After all those files are on the desktop download itunes. DO NOT download itunes first you will be begging for trouble. Open itunes and it will take a few seconds and it should find the file on it's own. Now all you need to do is sign into itunes agree to all the fun stuff and there you go. I did mine with an external Sata hard drive via esata and it could not of been easier. To find the file you need go into music/my music and find the big file named itunes. just copy and past and let er rip.
    Good luck

  • Need help coping project from one computer to another.

    I need help coping project from one computer to another.  I loaded all video on computer 1, copied events and project folder to computer 2.  I was told I only needed to copy the project folder back to computer 1 since the events folder is already there.   I copied project folder back to computer 1 but the files wont open.  I dont have computer 2 available. 
    Please help!!!

    Hi
    No that's not the way to do it - iMovie gets confused and in some cases the problems might be un-repairable.
    You've got several problems
    • iMovie'08 - CAN NOT MOVE PROJCTS - You NEED iMovie'09 or iMovie'11 - I see no other working solution
    • Never MOVE or alter any folder named
    iMovie Projects - or -
    iMovie Events
    on DeskTop/Finder - This might be very harmful
    • Moving (Projects) and Events - HAS TO be done within the iMovie Application.
    You've got an Evets window and here You can view Your Events in two ways - Yearly - or - Yearly per Hard disk
    Here You can move within this "window" to another location
    • Projects - NO they do not contain Your full movie - only a document on howto use the material in Event folder
    and there might be worse if You added Photos from iPhoto and Audio from iTunes/Garageband - then You have
    to get this over to the second Mac too, to be able to continue editing.
    So to move Your projects to another Mac You need
    • iMovie'09 or 11
    • an external hard disk -
    MUST BE Mac OS Extended formatted - as UNIX/DOS/FAT32/Mac OS Exchange will not work for VIDEO
    Should be a FireWire one - as UBS/UBS2 performs badly when used for video
    • Then move/copy over within Project resp Events window in iMovie Application
    Hopefully I've been not to confusing or badly structured to be followed.

  • Moving from one computer to another w/o messing up the iPhone setup

    i want to try and start syncing with a new computer i am about to get without having to wipe the iPhone
    is there anyway that i can move all the relevant files from my old desktop to a new one so that the iTunes playlists and the apps in folders stay as they are now?
    i know it is not just a matter of copying over the iTunes folder, because there must be files in folders like HD & ~/App Support or HD & ~/Pref, and quite possibly more
    but there may also be a problem that the computer number is associated with the syncing, and that it cannot be done
    either way, i want to give it a go, so does anyone know if there is a knowledge base on this, or even an app that would allow me to achieve this task?
    i am fully upto date with the software updates and iOS (with an iPhone 4)
    many thanks

    i know it is not just a matter of copying over the iTunes folder, because there must be files in folders like HD & ~/App Support or HD & ~/Pref, and quite possibly more
    Yes it is, and no there is not.
    I have done this twice in the last year - when switching from a PowerBook to my MacBook Pro, and after the hard drive failed on my MacBook Pro and was replaced under warranty.
    but there may also be a problem that the computer number is associated with the syncing, and that it cannot be done
    This is also incorrect. In regards to iTunes content, an iPhone can be synced with the iTunes library on a single computer only, and photos can be transferred from a single computer only. If you transfer the iTunes folder from your Music folder where all iTunes content is stored including 3rd party apps along with playlists, play count, etc. from one computer to another and you authorize the computer with your iTunes account with iTunes, you can sync your iPhone with the computer the iTunes folder was transferred to without losing any iTunes content on your iPhone and as if you aren't syncing with a different computer.
    The same applies with photos if you are using iPhoto. All you need to do is transfer the iPhoto Library from one Mac to another and nothing will have changed.

  • How can I transfer work from one computer to another?

    How can I transfer work from one computer to another?

    Welcome to the forum.
    I can think of three basic ways to accomplish what you wish to do:
    Use the Project Archiver to archive your Project (and check the box to gather the media files), to an external HDD. Probably the easiest way to do it.
    Copy the Project and ALL media files to an external HDD, but be prepared to relink the media files to the Project, as the drive letter (part of the Absolute Path) will have changed.
    Edit loosely, and Share to an AV file, which will be Imported into a New Project on that second computer. Or, edit VERY tightly, and do the same. I like the first, as removing, replacing Transitions, etc., can be much more difficult, unless that "tight edit" is 100% done.
    Good luck,

  • How do I move ITunes from one computer to another

    I am trying to move my ITunes from one computer to another. I downloaded ITunes on my new computer and loged in with my account information. Then I pluged my IPod into the comuter and imported all my songs. I thought that everything would come over but none of my apps did. I want to synce my IPod up with my new computer how do I do it?

    Backup everything to an external hard drive with this User Tip.
    Use the same process to clone the library into a new empty iTunes folder on the new computer.
    Deauthorise the old box if you don't need to access protected content on it any more.
    Use SyncToy from time to time, and in particular before every iTunes update, to keep the backup up-to-date.

  • How do you move adobe acrobat XI pro from one computer to another?

    how do you move adobe acrobat XI standard pro from one computer to another?

    Hi jeszamom,
    You'll need either the installation media (if you bought from a retailer), or a downloaded installer. If you don't have the CD, you can download Acrobat from this links in this document: Download Acrobat products | Standard, Pro | XI, X - Adobe.
    It's OK to keep it on the other computer; your license allows you to install it on up to two computers. But, if you'd like you can deactivate it on that old computer, which would free up that activation for use on yet another computer. Please see Activation & Deactivation Help - Adobe
    You'll need your serial number to activate on the new computer.
    Please let us know how it goes.

  • Copying photos from one computer to another, with descriptions

    After editing photo descriptions and locations in iPhoto, it is desireable to be able to copy them to iPhoto on another computer, with the associated photo descriptions and locations.  In principle, this is possible by selecting all desired photos, then selecting File -> Export...  In the Export dialog box, in the "File Export" tab, select "Include: Titles and keywords", and "Include: Location information".  Copy the exported files to the other computer, and do a File -> Import to Library ...
    In practice, this works fine with images taken by some cameras, and not with images from others.  In my limited experience with a Fuji F80EXR and a Canon SX230HS, the above work flow works with the Fuji.  But, with the Canon, while the exported files clearly have the description data embedded in them (as seen by GraphicConverter), it is not imported into iPhoto, nor is it visible in Preview's Inspector.  The workaround I use is to run an exiftool command on the exported files.
    Exiftool is a command line utility that can read and write meta data in image files:
    http://owl.phy.queensu.ca/~phil/exiftool/
    I run the following command on the exported files to rewrite the IPTC Caption:
    exiftool −overwrite_original_in_place -tagsfromfile %f.jpg -ext jpg -"IPTC:Caption-Abstract>IPTC:Caption-Abstract" *.jpg
    Note that the above command overwrites the files that were exported from iPhoto.  If you wish to leave the original files intact, with an "_original" appended to the file name, run:
    exiftool -tagsfromfile %f.jpg -ext jpg -"IPTC:Caption-Abstract>IPTC:Caption-Abstract" *.jpg
    I'm not sure why it is necessary to copy and rewrite that data.  Perhaps there is something strange in the format of the meta data in the file as it comes from the camera, and the iPhoto export does not correct this strangeness. Copying and rewriting the data by exiftool seems to put things right.
    The above works for me, but is somewhat unwieldy.  Is there a better way to copy photos from one computer to another, if iPhoto refuses to import the description data that it was written to the exported files?

    Thanks for the pointer.  I did a test with 10 images, and confirmed the iPLM works, even with the problematic images from my Canon SX230HS.
    The workflow is to use iPLM to create a new Library on the computer that has the photos you want to copy.  Copy the photos to the new Library.  Copy the new Library to the second computer using a method of your choice (file sharing, USB flash drive, etc).  Copy the photos from the new Library to the existing iPhoto Library.
    iPLM costs $20, whereas my original solution was free (but you need to invest the time to get exiftool installed and working).  But, unlike exiftools, iPLM also copies over the Faces information, so it is likely a worthwhile investment if you use that feature. 

  • How do I back-up Organizer tags from one computer to another?

    Having successfully restored my PSE6 Organizer from one computer to another as back-up,I wish to keep backing-up. However, I have tried CDs, DVDs,external hard drives and flash discs and the tags are not imported, or rather,just one or two are.
    I click ' Select All' when I import, the ticks are shown, but it does not work. Thank you,
    Ian Julian
    www.natureandpitures.com

    I need full back-up as I need Organizer for my work, so use 2 computers. I initially backed-up my entire catalogue on an external hard-drive. Then on the new computer, I used 'Restore'. Although this took 14 hours, it worked, with all tags and captions, although not Albums.
    Now, I wish to continue to back-up not only my new photos, but also the tags. I cannot use 'Restore', as this will apparently delete all those pictures already there. So, first of all, I open PSE6, then, 'Make a CD/DVD' and proceed to save. To transfer to the other computer, I use 'Get Photos or Videos'. Everything is okay, except for the tags. I have also tried just dragging the pictures over to Organizer, with the same result.
    Thank you,

  • Move Itunes from one computer to another

    does anyone know how I can move my Itunes from one computer to another with out losing any of my library content. Also, is it possible to copy music from Ipod to Itunes library?

  • What is the easiest way to transfer a large imovie project from one computer to another in a different location.

    What is the easiest way to transfer an faairly large HD imovie project from one computer to another in a different location. Can you export to drop box? Will the other computer need the exact imovie version?

    OK it depends.
    If you have a finished movie, you can SHARE/EXPORT MOVIE and create your final movie. Then, depending on the size of the finished movie, you can transfer via dropbox or similar service. Ninety minutes is a very long movie for iMovie, but it may work for you. I would suggest 720P to keep the size down.
    If you need to transfer the entire iMovie Project so it can be edited in iMovie at the other end, then you need to transfer the project and event assets to an external hard drive and get the hard drive to the other location.
    Directions are here. Follow the directions for 1) Moving or copying Project to external drive. Then 2) Consolidate Media.

  • How to Transfer the iPhone from one computer to another Win XP

    All
    I got my wife a new macbook pro, running Windows XP prof. She has an iphone 3G with 16 GB memory running 3.0.1. So..she wanted to transfer the sync function from her PC to her macbook. Of course, Apple was of NO help at all (but did want to charge us $69.95 since her iphone is out of warranty, and this was an iphone not a mac problem, hmmm..). Took me lots of digging, but here is how you transfer you iphone from one computer to another:
    1. Move you itunes library from the old computer to the new one. To do this, you do NOT just copy it. This is as good a link to use as any to see how to do it, but search the internet and you can find instructions:
    http://reviews.cnet.com/8301-12519_7-10242259-49.html
    2. Transfer your applications you have purchased to the new computer. To do this, open itunes in the new computer, hook up your phone and click on File>transfer purchases (from itunes store) to computer. This will move your applications to the new computer.
    3. Export your MS outlook calendar, contacts, notes, etc. to the new computer by saving each of these categories as a PST file (file>export>then choose the category and type of file)...and then copy these PST files to your new computer and import them into MS outlook.
    4. Copy your playlists from itunes on your old computer to your new computer. This link may be helpful or search the internet again if you need to:

    5. Now...the important part...how to transfer all your settings from the iphone to the new computer....this is the part that was hard to find online, but finally got it: NOTE: THE BACKUP THAT ITUNES MAKES BACKS UP THE APPLICATION SETTINGS BUT NOT THE APPS SO THIS IS WHY YOU NEED TO TRANSFER THE APPS TO THE NEW COMPUTER. The settings have all the data you put into your apps, email settings, preferences, etc...so its a huge time save to transfer these to the new computer also.
    -Sync your iphone with your old computer to have a backup in case you mess up...in that case you can restore from your old computer and start over
    -Plug your iphone into the new ocmputer and start itunes. It will detect your phone (I assume you have already authorized your new computer to use the library and playlists and apps that you moved)
    -Right click on the "iphone" on the left bar...you will see a popup menu...click on "BACKUP". Let it backup your iphone to the new computer. It will NOT sync the phone
    -When the backup is done....copy the backup file to a temp directory to be safe. The backup is located in "documents and settings">user name>applications>apple computer>mobile sync. If you cannot see it, you need to open windows explorer (not internet explorer) and go to tools>folder options>view and click on "show hidden files and folders" Note YOU CANNOT JUST COPY THE BACKUP FROM THE OLD COMPUTER TO THE NEW COMPUTER AS SUGGESTED ON SOME WEB SITES...THIS DOES NOT WORK, ITUNES WILL NOT IDENTIFY THE BACKUP EVEN IF YOU PUT IT IN THE FOLDER IN THE NEW COMPUTER THAT MIRRORS THE FOLDER LOCATION IN THE OLD COMPUTER.
    -OK now you are ready...click restore on the iphone and restore the phone to factory settings. This will happen in a few minutes (10-15 mins).
    -The phone will reboot and itunes will recognize the phone again...as a restored phone. It will then ask you if you want to restore it from the backup..say YES. You then need to go through all the itunes tabs and click on everything you want to sync to the phone (playlists, movies, podcasts, ringtones, etc). Once you are done going thru the tabs click "apply" and the sync will start. Go out, to a movie, to bed, whatever because it will take hours to sync.
    -Once the sync is done...voila...your iphone has been moved with ALL the settings to the new computer. Check it. Then you can delete the backup you put into the temp folder if it is OK
    -Deauthorize your old computer
    This worked for Win XP...should work for Vista. The whole process took many hours so don't rush through it (i'm guessing 12 hours total work).
