HI, I have all the music on my ipad, but following a hard-drive format on my pc, I have lost all the music on itunes, which were cd uploads.  How do I copy the music back from my ipad to itunes on my pc ? ple help

You will need to use a third-party program, you computer's iTunes can only copy iTunes purchases back (File > Transfer Purchases, File > Devices > Transfer Purchases on iTunes 11). There are a number of programs listed half-way down this page which you could try : https://discussions.apple.com/docs/DOC-3991

  • I have all my music on my external hard drive when I try to add it to iTunes it is automatically added to my MacBook Pro's hard drive. How do I stop this from happening? I just want the music to stay on the external hard drive. Thanks!

    This is true of course, but doesn't cover the situation where some files are in the iTunes Media folder and others are on an external drive. In my case I keep my music in the Media folder and all my films on an external drive (there are too many to have on the internal drive). In iTunes 11, and before, it was easy to add those external files by holding down the alt/opt key while dragging to the sidebar. In iTunes 12 this is no longer possible. There are several workarounds: use TuneSpan to move the file after it's been added; delete the file from the Media folder and empty the trash then use iTunes Get Info which will report the file is missing and allow you to locate it; constantly switch the Add to iTunes toggle on and off as required. All of these require a lot more work than just holding down the alt/opt key while adding.
    It constantly gets harder.

    If you have a Mac OS 8.x or 9.x CD (depending on the iMac model), look for a Drive Setup utility somewhere on that disc. Boot from the CD while holding down the C key. Initialise the hard disk with a 'Zero all data' option chosen.

    To import music into your iTunes library on the computer go to iTunes>Help>iTunes Help>Add items to iTunes and follow the instructions
    Delete the "songs" that do not play in your iTunes library and reimport them.

    Welcome to Apple Support Communities
    Connect the external drive and open a Finder window pressing the Finder icon in Dock. Then, drag the folder to Finder, so it will be copied to this external disk.
    If you can't copy this folder, probably you have to format the external disk or use an app that allows you to write in that external drive. Mac OS X can't write in NTFS external disks

  • Does the new airport extreme support backing up via time machine to an external hard drive pluged into the usb port

    Does the new airport extreme support backing up via time machine to an external hard drive pluged into the usb port

    Yes, but you might want to note that the port on the AirPort Extreme is only USB 2.0, and that it runs at about half the speed of the USB 2.0 port on a computer, so things are going to be quite SLOW as far as backups are concerned, or anything else for that matter.

  • How can I move the music on my IPOD onto a new computer if my old computer hard drive has crashed.

    Question. How can I get my music library from my IPOD onto ITUNES on a
    new computer, given that my old computer, which contained my ITUNES library crashed and has an unrecoverable hard drive?

    Have you not got a backup of your iTunes content on, for example, an external drive ? If not then depending on which country that you are in then you might be able to re-download past iTunes music purchases from the store. Otherwise you will need a third-party program to copy them off - this post mentions some that were around a couple of years ago, I don't know whether they still exist and/or work.

  • Is there a way to transfer all the music and apps from an iphone to a computer with a new hard drive

    I've had a new hard drive fitted in my laptop and i wanted to know if there is a way that i could tranfer my music and app from my iphone to itunes on the computer?

    Yes, the Mac can read NTFS drives, but not write to them.
    If you have the drive formatted FAT or exFAt then the Mac can read and write to it. But before formatting, remove the data as it's erased, and format it on the PC as it's easier. Right click on Windows and Format.
    Drives, partitions, formatting w/Mac's + PC's
    Moving your personal data via the external drive is likley the best option, there are other methods like Migration, but they are problematic and take a long time, a drive is simple, fast and direct.

  • HT1449 Now that i have my iTunes backed up on iCloud and iCloud Match running, can I delete the music files from my MacBook Pro?  It is running out of hard drive space.

    When I started this request in the Support section, I did not realize I was typing a subject into a header.  Sorry.
    My MacBook Pro is nearly full and I would like to rely on iCloud for my music with the hope of freeing up space by deleting the music files I have accumulated on this machine.  Can I just delete the files in the iTunes folder or is there some special procedure?
    Thanks in advance for your help on this.

  • How do I get the music on my iPhone back into iTunes?

    Last night after much effort I was able to get my music and audiobooks synced with my iPhone 3G. This morning iTunes on the Laptop has crashed and been re-installed several times. Now the playlists and audiobooks are missing/incomplete. Is there a way to get the data on the phone back into iTunes? Right now I'm afraid to sync because I believe the iTunes will ruin what is on the phone.

    I guess I thought syncing with iTunes was a "back-up". The data is on the iPhone, is there a way to write that data back into iTunes, rather than letting iTunes overwrite whats on the phone. I've located some of the previous/damaged iTunes library files, but not sure how to restore them.

  • All of my imovie events are stored on an external hard drive.  How do I backup this external hard drive? If the external hard drive crashes, how do retrieve the imovie events?

    I have all of my imovie events stored on an external hard drive in order to save space on my MacBook Pro's internal drive.  I currently back up both my MacBook Pro and the external hard drive  using a second external hard drive via Time Machine. I have a few questions:
    1. How can I be sure that the external drive is actually being backed up.
    2. How do I retrieve the imovie events if the 1st external hard drive crashes?
    Thank for your help!

    Let me give you some thoughts. I can tell you my plan, but ultimately you will need your own plan that makes sense for you.
    I do not think that your idea of having two separate Time Machine destinations will work. You can have two external drives as Time Machine volumes, but they will both back up the same data set. You cannot dedicate one to iMovie and one to everything else. They will both have everything, so you may still have a space problem.
    One way to overcome this is to back up the iMovie volume by using a tool like SuperDuper! or Carbon Copy Cloner. The good news is that your Event files should be pretty stable and there is no need to back them up every 15 minutes. So something like SuperDuper, which you can set to automatically backup once a day, for example, is probably fine. I am pretty sure that this would work if you kept the Projects on the same external drive. As long as Projects and Events are on the same drive, then the cloning stragy should work (but you should always test.)
    Because projects change more often than events, and projects can become corrupted, I would definitely back up the Project Library to Time Machine. You can do this even though it is on an external drive. (And even though you may be periodically backing up the entire drive that contains the projects.)
    Here are some thoughts on how I approach backup, copied from an earlier answer...
    ============================================================
    Great question. I think the issue of backup is a important one, and one I always worry about since I have a lot of video footage that is irreplaceable.
    For back-up, it is helpful to define the risk you are trying to protect from.
    For example,
    1) risk of corruption in iMovie --> I  use Time Machine
    2) risk of hard drive failure --> I use SuperDuper! nightly for bootable backup) and Time Machine all the time
    3) Risk of theft or fire --> offsite backup
    Here is what I do...
    1) I back up my boot disk with SuperDuper automatically each night so I always have a bootable system.
    2) I back up my original video files. For my Motion JPEG, VHS-->AIC, DV, and 8MM to DV, the EVENT is the copy I back up. (I keep the tapes, but I never want to have to import the tapes again.)
    For my AVCHD high def video, I back up the camera archive of the AVCHD, but I am not currently backing up the Event files, because I would need from 4 to 8 TB to back up these events depending on whether I made one copy or two. I can always re-create the Event from the camera archive.
    3) I use CrashPlan for my offsite backup. It costs less than $4 per month, and I seeded the initial backup to an external drive to minimize having to transfer video files over the Internet. I currently have over 2TB of data backed up to CrashPlan, which includes my entire boot drive, and the files described in #2.
    4) All of the above is automated, so I don't have to think about it too much. If I have to manually do stuff, I tend to get behind.
    You have to consider the value of total multiple redundancy vs. the likelihood that 2 or three unlikely events would all happen at once. For example, CrashPlan could lose my data. My hard disk could fail. I could lose everything in a fire. But it is unlikely that they would all happen at once, except in nuclear war, in which case, who cares?

  • I have not used Time Machine before, but now need to back up to my external hard drive.  How do I do this?

    Need to back up hard drive due to needed replacement.  Time machine is available to back up to external hard drive.  Not clear how to do this and then to restore once the hard drive is replaced.

    I would not use Time Machine for this task. Rather I suggest you clone to the external drive. You can then boot from the external drive to restore your clone. First, purchase Carbon Copy Cloner.
    Clone using Carbon Copy Cloner
      1. Open Carbon Copy Cloner.
      2. Select the Source volume from the left side dropdown menu.
      3. Select the Destination volume from the right side dropdown menu.
      4. Click on the Clone button.
      5. When completed select Disk Center from the Window menu.
      6. Click on the Recovery HD tab then select the backup drive from the list.
      7. Click on the button labeled "Create a Recovery partition for this volume."
    Destination means the external backup drive. Source means the internal startup drive.
    You now have a fully bootable copy of your iMac's hard drive. When you receive your iMac back after the drive replacement you can boot it from this backup and use Carbon Copy Cloner to restore the backup from the external drive to the internal drive. The process is identical except you will switch the Source and Destination volumes - Source will be the external drive; Destination will be the internal drive.
    Because the newly installed drive will most likely have OS X installed you can skip Steps 5-7. You can now continue to use your external backup drive by setting up scheduled backups with CCC. No need to use Time Machine.
