So the answer to my question is yes - from an old Exchange account that was provided by a previous employer.
If so, you can't.
You can't merge or transfer contacts that were synced over the air with an Exchange account with another account, and the same for syncing the contacts direct with a supported address book app on your computer. This is how most employers want it.

I need to move my library to a new computer. This is music downloaded from CD's. Is the only way to do this is to sync all songs to my ipod and they transfer them to the new computer?

If using a Mac, use Migration Assistant to move your iTunes library from old computer to new. Afterwards you can sync from your new computer to your iPod.

Need to move 10.2.0.4 on Windows 2003 to 11.1.0.7 on Windows 2008

I need to move 10.2.0.4 on Windows 2003 to 11.1.0.7 on Windows 2008 and I'm wondering what the best path would be to do so. We're thinking we'll upgrade the database to 11.1.0.7 on the existing Windows 2003 server and then perform an rman backup and restore to a new machine with Windows 2008 11.1.0.7. Does anyone have any other suggestions or words of wisdom? Kind of a newbie here. Thanks for your help.

If the database is not too big, exp/imp would be another option. Transportable tablespaces might be an option too.

Why can't i open a playlist in a new window with itunes 11?

so i can apparently no longer open a playlist in a new window... how am i supposed to drag & drop songs in the order i want them to play?

I get your point and I was really just trying to break your sense of despair. It is easy to become overwhelmed when something big and new comes along. We all have our own ways of doing things which we become used to and ...... well you know what I mean.
Now, lets see if I can help you learn how to use this wonderful iTunes to get a grip on your music at a basic level.
Start by going to the SONGS pane. This is the workplace, the most powerful place to be for finding stuff, organising and maintaining your music. The other panes are the pretty places to go when you want to play and enjoy your collection after the work is done.
Make sure that you have the basic columns showing (View Menu, View Options). I suggest that essentially you should tick the following boxes :- Album, Artist, Checked, Genre, Time, Track Number, Year, Plays.
In the column for Album, if you repeatedly click in the heading, the heading will cycle thru Album/Album-by-Artist/Album-by-Artist-by-Year. Play with that a little and see what it does. Also note that every column can be sorted by clicking in the column heading. The column that you are currently sorted by is shown by a little up or down arrow.
Then turn on the Column Browser (View Menu) and check Genres, Artists Albums.
Now you have the tools to find and organise. You have the view-by-genre you wanted. You can select all genres or you can select one or many. Same for Artist. Same for Album. Your selections are reflected in the lower songs pane. The horizontal division between the Column Browser and the Songs can be raised/lowered by grabbing the top of the heading line.
Turn on the Status Bar (VIew Menu, Show Status Bar). The number of songs, the playtime and the disc space that your selection uses is shown here.
NOW you should be able to do just about anything. Enjoy

FF4 wont move a tab to a new window. The new window opens fine but the existing tab stays on the current window. What's wrong?

I just upgraded to firefox 4. I'm using session manager extension.
I have multiple tabs open in my firefox window and I want to move some tabs to a new window. I followed the support guide which tells how to do this, however, when I drag the tab off the current window, the new window gets opened as it should, but the tab I was trying to move stays in the current window and does not get moved to the new one. Any ideas what the problem is?
Thanks
Mick

Start Firefox in <u>[[Safe Mode|Safe Mode]]</u> to check if one of the extensions (Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Extensions) or if hardware acceleration is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Appearance).
*Do NOT click the Reset button on the Safe mode start window or otherwise make changes.

Is there a way to move a group of tabs to a new window? I know how to move one tab to a new window, but is there a way to mark a group of tabs and move them to a new window?

How do you move songs/playlists to a new computer?

Have uploaded songs from CD's and created playlist and want to move them to a new computer. What is the best way to do this?

See these support docs for options: How to move your music to a new computer and How to use your iPod to move your music to a new computer.
My recommendation is to backup the library to an external drive with the method in this User Tip, and then use the same tool to restore the backup onto the new computer. Thereafter you would backup your library on a regular basis to ensure against disaster.

ITunes won't work on my old laptop so I need to move my music to a new laptop but can only use the music stored on my ipad to transfer it. Please help.

My laptops broken, I can't open itunes at all on it so how can I get my music onto my new laptop with only my ipad which has all my music on it?

Hello kevinfromripon
There are a few options that you can do. If your old computer sill works but iTunes just does not open, you can try and copy the iTunes folder to an external hard drive and then add that information on to your new computer by either putting it into the same place as it was on the old computer or just adding the media into iTunes. If the media was purchased from the iTunes Store, you can import those in by following the step in the last article or you can go to the iTunes Store and look at your purchases and download them directly from there.

Move Exchange 2013 installation to new virtual machine

Currently have: 1 virtual server - Server 2012 (DC, Global Catalog), Exchange 2013 CU1 installation (yes I know- dont install Exchange on DC etc etc ... ). Server2012/Exchange2013 is installed on one VMDK, EDB and logs are saved on another VMDK.
Want to do: Create second virtual machine and install Server 2012 (different name), add it as a member to the same domain (also in the same network), install Exchange 2013, move all mailboxes to the new server, uninstall the old Exchange 2013.
Question is- is it possible to somehow unmount the existing database (I am only using one database for mailboxes and public folders) and mount it to the new server or do I have to create a new database on the new server and move the mailboxes there? I've
heard that the Exchange EDB databases were supposed to be portable between same versions of Exchange.
Any advice is appreciated.

Hi,
Agree with Andy, to avoid down time, we can depend on database portability.
And here are the steps you can refer to:
1. Install new Exchange server on the member server.
2. Move Mailbox Database using Database Portability:

3. Move the public folders (if any), re-home the offline address book, and move your SMTP connectors

4. Remove the old Exchange server.
Thanks,

Thanks for the reply.
I'm a bit confused on the instructions from
http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/dd876926(v=exchg.150).aspx- does step 4 instruct me to overwrite the newly created database (on the new server) with the old database and then mount it on the new server? Also, as the public folders are now in
a mailbox on the same database- aren't they moved with the database without extra hassle?
Also the link you gave me in Step 3 in your post refers to Exchange 2003.
Thanks in advance.

Help! Old computer HD failed and need to move files on IPOD to new comptuer

Does anyone know how to do this? I just got a new computer and i'd like to move the music from my ipod to the new computer, but the itunes is not allowing me to do this. Is there anyway to accomplish this? I cant access the old computer since this HD is dead. I'm not very technically inclined, so step by step instructions would be super helpful. THANKS SO MUCH

Connect your iPod to your computer. If it is set to update automatically you'll get a message that it is linked to a different library and asking if you want to link to this one and replace all your songs etc, press "Cancel". Pressing "Erase and Sync" will irretrievably remove all the songs from your iPod. Your iPod should appear in the iTunes source list from where you can change the update setting to manual and use your iPod without the risk of accidentally erasing it. Also when using most of the utilities listed below your iPod needs to be enabled for disc use, changing to manual update will do this by default. Check the "manually manage music and videos" box in Summary then press the Apply button: Managing content manually on iPod
Once you are safely connected there are a few things you can do to restore your iTunes from the iPod. If you have any iTMS purchases the transfer of purchased content from the iPod to authorised computers was introduced with iTunes 7. A paragraph on it has been added to this article: Transfer iTunes Store purchases using iPod
The transfer of non iTMS content such as songs imported from CD is designed by default to be one way from iTunes to iPod. However there is a manual method of accessing the iPod's hard drive and copying songs back to iTunes on Windows. The procedure is a bit involved also it was written long before iTunes 7 so it requires a little adaptation as the iPod preferences are no longer in the location described. Also it won't transfer playlists or videos as far as I know. However if you're interested it's posted in this thread: MacMuse - iPod to iTunes
If you prefer something more automated then there are a number of third party utilities that you can use to retrieve the music files and playlists from your iPod. You'll find that they have varying degrees of functionality and some will transfer movies, videos, photos, podcasts and games as well. Have a look at the web pages and documentation, this is just a small selection of what's available, they are generally quite straightforward. You can also read reviews of some of them here: Wired News - Rescue Your Stranded Tunes
TuneJack Windows Only
iPod2PC Windows Only
iGadget Windows Only
iDump Windows Only
YamiPod Mac and Windows Versions
Music Rescue Mac & Windows
iPodCopy Mac and Windows Versions
Whichever of these retrieval methods you choose, keep your iPod in manual mode until you have reloaded your iTunes and you are happy with your playlists etc then it will be safe to return it auto-sync. I would also advise that you get yourself an external hard drive and back your stuff up in case you have problems again. Relying on an iPod as your sole backup is not a good idea and external drives are comparatively inexpensive these days, you can get loads of storage for a reasonable outlay.
