I now have all my music in imatch and have also,backed up to an external,drive. Am I,now able to,delete my music files from my hard drive?

I have uploaded all my music to iMatch and backed up all to an external hard drive.
Am I now able to delete the files on my PC's hard drive?

If you wish. But have a backup scheme in place for any new music you purchase. It will still download into iTunes.

    " When I did this, my library showed all the music I have "purchased" from itunes but did not have the music that I downloaded a long time ago through itunes from my old CDs."
    Correct.
    " How can I get that music to show up in my library now on my new computer?  "
    Copy it from your old computer or your backup copy of your old computer.
    The sync is one way - computer to ipod.

  • I have to extract all files from a hard drive of a macbook pro that is no longer working. All I have to access the hard drive is a PC, is this possible, and if so how?

    You could try Paragon HFS+ for Windows. That would allow you to read and write files from a Mac-formatted drive.

  • Importing music files from ext. hard drive to itunes

    If I import all my music files (years of collections, unorganized about 90 Ggs some duplication) from ext. hard drive to itunes will itunes organize my music collection and be accessible?
    what is the simplest way to transfer these files from ext. hard drive to itunes
    Thanks

    Do you want it to do this?
    You can leave it on the external and play it from iTunes. Nothing will be moved or organized. Everything will stay as it is.
    Or you can leave it on the external and have iTunes organize it.
    Or you can add it to iTunes and copy it to the internal and organize it.

    Trying to download photos from IPHONE, IPAD to IPHOTO in IMAC after installing new hard drive.
    How did you import the photos to iPad and iPhone?
    If the photos have been synced to the iPhone and iPad using iTunes, you cannot sync them back.
    See this document:  http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4236
    You can't reimport pictures synced from your computer to your device back to your computer. You can only import pictures in the Camera Roll or Saved Photos from your device to your computer. If you need to retrieve synced photos from your device:
    If your photos are not in the Camera Roll on your devices, save them to the Camera Roll, share them to the Photo Stream, mail the photos, or, if you have iPhoto on the devices, use iTunes Photo Sharing.
    http://help.apple.com/iphoto/iphone/2.0/?handbuch#blnkee26bc1
    Save photos to your computer using iTunes
    Connect your iOS device to your computer.
    Tap a photo, album, event, web journal, or slideshow and tap Share> iTunes.
    Tap Selected, or change the photos you want to save (if you are saving a slideshow skip to step 4):
    Select different photos: Tap Choose Photos, tap one or more photos, and tap Next.
    Select a range of photos: Tap Choose Photos, tap Range, tap the first and last photos in the range, and tap Next.
    Select all the photos in an album or event: Tap All.
    In iTunes, click the button for your device and click Apps at the top of the window.
    Below File Sharing, select iPhoto (in Apps).
    Select the Shared Photos folder under iPhoto Documents.
    Click Save To and select the location on your computer where you want to save the items.
    To view your photos, go to the Finder and look in the location you selected above.

  • I am trying to delete an XLS file from a network drive and am getting a message that says the file cannot be deleted because it is in use.  I can't see where it is in use and have tried to reboot the computer to no avail.

    I am trying to delete an XLS file from a network drive and am getting a message that says the file cannot be deleted because it is in use.  I can't see where it is in use and have tried to reboot the computer to no avail.  I can delete other files but several XLS files are giving me this message.

    You said it was a network drive.  So is someone else on the network using that same file or may have have left with excel still accessing it on their system?

  • I have deleted my private folder and do not have enough space to reinstall my operating system. How can i transfer files from my hard drive to an USB drive to free up space when the operating system isn't working. or do i need to erase disk?

    i have deleted my private folder and do not have enough space to reinstall my operating system. How can i transfer files from my hard drive to an USB drive to free up space when the operating system isn't working. or do i need to erase disk through disk utilities without erasing data (but will it delete my programs such as photoshop, office, creative suite?

    Connect the computer to another Mac and put it in FireWire Target Disk mode, or use the Disk Utility to clone the drive or image specific folders with the USB drive as the target. After you've copied off everything you want, you'll likely need to erase the drive and reinstall the applications.

  • I've imported an iPhoto library from a disc to my iPhoto 09 account, but I have to leave the disc in to view the pictures in full screen...  Is there a way to import the files to my hard drive?

    I've imported an iPhoto library from a disc to my iPhoto 09 account, but I have to leave the disc in to view the pictures in full screen...  Is there a way to import the files to my hard drive?

    I've imported an iPhoto library from a disc to my iPhoto 09 account,
    What exactly did you do?
    Are you running a Managed or a Referenced Library?
    A Managed Library, is the default setting, and iPhoto copies files into the iPhoto Library when Importing. The files are then stored in the Library package
    A Referenced Library is when iPhoto is NOT copying the files into the iPhoto Library when importing because you made a change at iPhoto -> Preferences -> Advanced. The files are then stored where ever you put them and not in the Library package. In this scenario you are responsible for the File Management.

  • I have backed up my disk using Time Machine.  Now I want to delete the backed-up files from my hard drive.  But when I do and reconnect the external hard drive, the files are also deleted on that.  What do I do?

    I have backed up my disk using Time Machine.  I then deleted the back-up files from my MacBook hard drive.
    I then reconnected my external hard drive and find the files I deleted from my hard drive are also deleted from
    my external hard drive.  Can someone tell my what what happened?  I'm confused.

    Hello,
    Time Machine is not a good way to do that, when it eventually needs more room it deletes old Backups to make room.
    If you really want to keep Files but remove them from the Internal Drive, then I'd get another external drive to copy or clone them to that is not used for TM.

  • Palm Zire 31 sat idle for too long and then my hard drive crashed - I have recovered my palmOne files from the hard drive but don't know how to install to desktop?

    Since this product is no longer supported by the manufacturer, I hope that someone out there will be able to help me find a way to get my calendar and contacts restored to the desktop.  My handheld sat unused for a very long time, but my desktop calendar and contacts were current up until my hard drive crashed.  I was able to recover the PalmOne files from the crashed hard drive but all I can see are *.dat files.  When I try to import or restore, the *.dat is not a supported file extension.  HELP!  I have the original installation CD. Thank you

    .dat are the actual working files Palm Desktop is looking for - you can't import them.
    Just create a user in Palm Desktop and copy the .dat files (that have more than 1k of data) over the existing address.dat and datebook.dat (or calendar.dat, I forget which existed on your device).

  • All files from x hard drive or mp3 disc have a "!" symbol  in front of the song titles in my library, and i cant find them on my ipod

    all files from an external hard drive or mp3 disc imported to my itunes library have  a "!" symbol in front of the song and i cant locate them in my ipod.

    The exclamation point means iTunes cannot locate these tracks/files in the location you originally imported them from.  Meaning either they were deleted or moved to another location.  Right->click on any track and select Get Info. Then under the Summary tab look to see the location where iTunes is looking for the track. 
    If nothing else, removed all your missing tracks and re-import them.

  • Transfering Music Files From Internal Hard-drive to External Drive

    Per the instructions in a Missing Manual Book, I copied my itunes music folder from my internal drive to my new, portable external drive. The files copied fine, but the book said all I needed to do to insure file recognition was to change the location in the itunes>preferences>advanced location, which I did. But the only way the files are recognized by itunes is to, song by song, direct itunes to the new file. Is this really the only way to have it recognize the files? Is there no automatic method? The book implies that all is needed is changing the preferences location.

    I'd make sure that the 'Keep iTunes folder organised' setting is on. (Preferences>Advanced>general)
    Failing that, make sure that the 'Copy files to iTunes music folder when adding to library' setting is also on.

  • I had to transferr my music files from one computer to another by directly copying the files from the hard drive to a new drive.  Itunes recognized the files and I was able to load in new songs.  The new songs won't sync with ipod.  Ideas?

    To copy the files I had to remove the hard drive and direct copy them to an expansion drive on another machine.  ITunes recognized the copied files and operates correctly on the computer.  I was able to download additional songs to ITunes on the computer without problem.  The IPod however will not recognize the new songs, does an abreviated sync process and gives a message that the IPod cannot sync because files are being used by another application.  It is also does not want to accept the disconnect command.  Any suggestions on how to solve the sync problem?

    how did you save the songs? can you play the songs? have you restarted the computer?
