Choose Go to Folder from the Finder's Go menu, provide /Users/ as the path, and move the files to your current home folder. Alternatively, open the Accounts or Users & Groups pane of System Preferences, unlock it, control-click your account, choose Advanced Options, and change the path to the home folder.

  • HELP!! I had to restore my computer and all my itunes files are gone

    How do i put all my ipod files back onto the computer so i can keep uploading more to my ipod? PLEASE HELP

    There is a manual method of accessing the iPod's hard drive and copying songs but not playlists back to iTunes on Windows 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, this is just a selection. Have a look at the web pages and documentation for these, they are generally quite straightforward.
    iPod Access Mac and Windows Versions
    YamiPod Mac and Windows Versions
    PodUtil Mac and Windows Versions
    iPodCopy Mac and Windows Versions
    PodPlayer Windows Only

    If your iPod is set to update automatically take care when connecting back to your computer and an empty iTunes. If it is set to automatically update you will get a message that your iPod is linked to a different library and asking if you want to link to this one and replace all your songs etc, press *No*. Pressing "Yes" will irretrievably remove all 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.
    You can also use a keyboard command to prevent your iPod auto-syncing with iTunes. While connecting the iPod to the computer on Windows hold down the Shift + Ctrl keys (on a Mac hold down the Option and Command (⌥ and ⌘) keys). This will stop the iPod from auto-syncing with iTunes and the iPod will appear in the source list. Wait until you are sure the iPod has mounted, and that it will not auto sync and then you can let the keys go. This may take between 20 to 30 seconds depending on your computer. Then go to Preferences>iPod and check the "Manually manage songs and playlists" box: Managing Your Songs Manually
    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 again. I would also advise that you get yourself an external hard drive and back your stuff up in case you have problems again. External drives are quite cheap these days and you can get loads of storage for quite a small outlay.

  • Had to restore my computer and now have music on the iPad that I would like to transfer back to the computer. How do I do this?

    Had to restore my computer and now have music on the iPad that I would like to transfer back to the computer. How do I do this? (Operating system is Windows Vista)

    This depends, if the music was purchased on the iTunes store you can transfer purchases. If it was not then you would need a 3rd party program in order to rip these files to the computer.

  • I had to restore my computer and now my audible account won't authorize

    I had to restore my computer and now my audible account will not authorize in iTunes. The audiobooks were all purchased with one of two audible accounts and neither are authorizing. Can anyone help?

    Maybe you should note that Firefox and IE use different systems for bookmarks/favourites.
    I am not entirely sure what you mean by
    . i then just moved them around to my taste.
    Presumably instead of making use of Firefox bookmarks library and its extensive features you are merely relying on folders of HTML files.
    * see [[how do i use bookmarks?]] includes links to further info
    Firefox uses as a working database the file ''places.sqlite'' that is kept in the Firefox [[profiles|profile]] this includes your History records and is
    * not directly compatible with IE HTML format favorite files
    ** but Firefox Bookmarks Library has the option to import and export as HTML.<br/>(Imported HTML are appended to the library)
    * Backedup automatically to Firefox bookmarks files in .JSON format
    * Backed up manually by following the procedures in
    ** ( CARE if you import firefox .json bookmarks it overwrites the existing set, always backup first manually )

  • I don't know which Apple ID I used to register my Ipod Nano. I had to restore my Computer and now I can't connect my iPod to iTunes again. I have my serial number and ECID

    Hi, I don't know which Apple ID I used to register my Ipod Nano. I had to restore my Computer and now I can't connect my iPod to iTunes again. I have my serial number and ECID. I'm using Windows, BTW, sorry!

    Search your email for the word Logic (and set the search to All) and you should find the receipt (so long as you didn't delete it)
    Other than that.. simply contact Apple directly and ask.. Make sure you have your transaction details ready for them as they will need it...

  • I have had to compleatly restore my computer and lost my Itunes. I now want to transfer my phone music libry to the computer again is this possible without wiping it?

    I have had to compleatly restore my computer and lost my Itunes. I now want to transfer my phone music libry to the computer again is this possible without wiping it?

    So you have all you music on the iPhone, right? and you want to transfer FROM the iPhone TO the computer?
    You can't do that with iTunes as far as i know, but you could probably get by that going through "this computer" or something.. I'm not sure, but technically it should be possible.
    good luck!

    Hi lundjj,
    Thanks for visiting Apple Support Communities.
    You may find the troubleshooting steps in this article helpful if your iPod nano does not appear in iTunes:
    iPod not appearing in iTunes
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ts3716
    This information can also help if you are using multiple devices with a computer:
    iPod for Windows: Connecting multiple iPod devices to iTunes
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ht3622
    Although FireWire and USB connections will allow multiple iPod devices to be connected to the computer at the same time, iTunes for Windows works best with only one iPod connected at a time. If you plan to connect multiple iPod devices to the same computer, eject any iPod devices that you are not using from iTunes.
    All the best,
    Jeremy

    - Transfer iTunes purchases to the computer by:
    iTunes Store: Transferring purchases from your iOS device or iPod to a computer
    - Transfer any other music by using a third-party program like one of those discussed here:
    Copy music
    - Connect the iPod to the computer and make a backup by right clicking on the iPod under Devices in iTunes and select Back Up
    - Restore the iPod from that backup. The restore will also update the iOS.
    Note that the backup that iTunes makes does not include synced media like apps and music
    Are you sure you have a 3G iPod? A 1G iPod can only go to iOS 3.1.3

  • My laptop had some work done on it and now my iTunes library is gone. My Nano 4 has all of my music on it and I want to sync what I have back into my iTune library. Anyone know how?

    My laptop had some work done on it and now my iTunes library is gone. My Nano 4 has all of my music on it and I want to sync what I have back into my iTune library. Anyone know how?

    If you purchased all of the songs through itunes store, please follow these steps:
    1. Open up Itunes and Click on Itunes Store
    2. Once you're in the Itunes Store look to right side of the screen and you should see the word "purchased". Click purchased and you'll be sent to a purchase screen.
    3. Click on "All Songs" and then it will show all the songs you've downloaded. From there you just hit the button that looks like a cloud with an arrow on it, and it will download all the songs all over again.
    If you didn't purchase them through Itunes, then you'll have to download software that will strip the songs from your iPod onto your computer. And here is a guide about how to copy iPod music. Hope it helps. Feel free to email me if you need further help.

  • I had to restore my computer and now it won't sync with my iPhone

    I had to restore my computer to default and now I can't transfer items in my iTunes library to my phone.  Is there anything besides 3rd party software that I can do to authorize this computer.  I restored my phone and I could transfer songs, but then I lost all of my contacts.

    Try and reset your iPad. Hold the Sleep and Home button for about 10 seconds until you see the Apple logo.
