ID3 tags did not transfer over
I'm in the process of transferring my files from my Windows 7 computer (with iTunes v11.2.2.3) into iTunes on my new Mac (OS X 10.9.4).
On my Windows machine all of my music files are well-tagged with lots of metadata. After I imported all of my files into the iTunes program on my mac I noticed that about half of the files have no metadata other than the song name. I checked and these files have perfectly good ID3 info on my Windows machine. The weird thing is that there are albums where I only have 1 remaining song, and all of the other songs in the album are buried in "Unknown" without any ID3 information now.
If I highlight one of the songs and go to "Get Info" then I see that only the track name is present. All other information is black. In the comment section for each of these songs there is a message like this " 000004CD 000006A8 00002188 000032D2 0001547E 00059EB2 00008000 00008000 00043AD2 00043AD2" I presume this is the metadata that somehow got mistranslated.
Is there any way to fix this? Why did this only happen to half of my archive?

What is the file type/kind of these songs?
WAV files do not have tags so no info (except song name which is also file name) will be retained.

You don't need to import anything.
Simply copy the entire /Music/iTunes folder from old computer to /Music/ on new computer.
Then open iTunes.
That is all you need to do.

I recently changed my Apple ID but it did not transfer over to my iCloud account. How do I change my iCloud ID? The password for the new Apple ID does not work since the iCloud default user name is imbedded in the login box. The login popup for iCloud will not go away so I cannot get into my iPad since it pops up as soon as I turn the device on and re-occurs every few seconds.
You have to go to Settings>iCloud, tap Delete Account, provide the password for the old ID when prompted to turn off Find My iPhone, then sign back in with the ID you wish to use. If you don't know the password for your old ID, or if it isn't accepted, go to https://appleid.apple.com, click Manage my Apple ID and sign in with your current iCloud ID. Click edit next to the primary email account, change it back to your old email address and save the change. Then edit the name of the account to change it back to your old email address. You can now use your current password to turn off Find My iPad on your device, even though it prompts you for the password for your old account ID. Then go to Settings>iCloud, tap Delete Account and choose Delete from My iPad when prompted (your iCloud data will still be in iCloud). Next, go back to https://appleid.apple.com and change your primary email address and iCloud ID name back to the way it was. Now you can go to Settings>iCloud and sign in with your current iCloud ID and password.

Will someone please help me?
My files, photos, email files, software programs, calendar info, and all information did NOT transfer over to Mavericks (from Mt Lion). How do I get all my stuff to appear when using Mavericks?
My email did transfer over.
Thank you.First click on the Apple > Logout and Log back in or restart the unit see if that solves it. If it doesn't do you have a backup of your system prior to upgrade? Check Disk Utility and see how much space is being used to make sure the drive wasn't somehow erased.

IGoogle settings did not transfer over from IE 8 to FF4.
Hmm...
I had an iGoogle page in IE 8, but the settings did not transfer over to a new install of FF 4?
What might be the problem and can stillI migrate those setting to FF 4?
Thanks.
P.S. It worked fine on another system with the same configs. Strange.Playlists are part of the iTunes Library.itl file, so if you just moved the music folder, your playlists would not have transferred. This site might be of help:

HT201301 Old app did not transfer over to iOS 7
I had the app 1 password for all my passwords & the app did not transfer over. Anyone having issues similar to this? I had to re-download the app to find out that I had to pay the $17.99 for the new version and it can't find any of my info that is important. Any ideas? Thank you!
King is correct, the contract w the studios limits you to a single download. I gather these were never synced to your computer? If you have a backup, they would be there.

I backed up my 3gs to the iCloud and when I synced my 4S, it did not transfer my game histories or my 3rd party app histories. When I look at my iCloud storage, it shows both phones under the same name. Is there a way to merge them together in iCloud? I tried adding the account to my 4S but since they are both named the same, it says I already have that account added! Help!!
Welcome to the Apple Community.
Assuming you have finished with your old backup.....
You can see what your iCloud storage is used for and delete any unwanted content at settings > iCloud > backup & storage > manage...... -
my iphone 4 was backed up but my contacts did not move over to my iphone 4s anyone know how to get my contacts back
If you're using your phone as recommended, your contacts reside on your computer in Outlook, Address Book, or with a cloud service. Just synch your contacts to your phone from your computer or cloud service.

Playcounts and Ratings did not transfer over
I did a clean reinstall (HIGHLY recommended every new OS) and imported my iTunes files and preferences. However, my playcounts and ratings are missing. Anyone know which folder those are kept in? Thanks...
Tux hello,
I'm not sure what you did when you say you imported your iTunes files and preferences...
The playcounts and ratings etc. are stored in the iTunes Library file in your iTunes folder... if you replace the current iTunes Library file with your backup and check that the name of the file is the same as one you are replacing... restart iTunes with a double/click on the backup copy of the iTunes Library file you put in the iTunes folder...
come back if you need to know more Tux .... TP -
Upgraded from PE9 to PE12: ratings did not transfer on organizer
Upgraded from PE9 to PE12 and the ratings and tags did not transfer to the organizer - or maybe they are there, but I do not know how find.
I also upgraded from Vista to Microsoft 7. Do I need to uninstall the Vista version and reinstall, or is there a different solution?Topteke a écrit:

When you installed PSE12 and opened the organizer, you should have been asked to convert your catalog. That would have created a new catalog with the contents of your old catalog; that old catalog being still available to PSE9. If, instead of letting the conversion automatically take place, you have simply imported your pictures into the new empty PSE12, the tags and captions are not recovered (unless you specifically 'wrote metadata to files' in the PSE9 organizer).
Now, use the menu file/catalog (Ctrl Maj C) and click on the 'convert' button. Check the option to show already converted catalogs. You should see your PSE9 catalog and start the conversion. -

Migrationsassistent did not transfer all documents from iMac (OS X 10.8.5) to iMac Retina 5K (10.10.1)
If the 2 computers have the correct cable connections, try the Target Disk Mode. Then copy them over or use an external drive to transfer them.

ITunes music files did not transfer afte rebooting OS software
hi there
I had to reboot system 10.3 software- I was happy because I had everything backed up on a Lacie external drive that i had formatted as a bootable disk. So when my iBook came back from the repair shop with a new blank OS and asked me if I wanted to transfer files from another computer, I did, from the Lacie hard drive. Only my iTunes music did not transfer, and so far it seems like I have to import files one by one- I can not figure out how to import the whole lot of music files.
Additionally, all my other files, mostly Word, were imported with the "created on" date all set to 1970, for some reason. That is annoying; any ideas from anyone? Thank you very much
