  • I just got a MacBook Pro and I used Home Sharing to transfer my library from my PC. However, my PC's battery died in the middle of the process so only half of my music was transferred. The sharing option no longer shows up on the left.  How do I fix this?

    I just got a MacBook Pro and I used Home Sharing to transfer my library from my PC. However, my PC's battery died in the middle of the process so only half of my music was transferred. The sharing option no longer shows up on the left.  Do I need to start completely over and delete the content in my new library to prevent duplicates or is there a way to continue the process?

  • Did my icloud data from a previous phone transfer to my last phone, and if so can i delete the old cloud?

    I got an iphone for christmas of 2013, and had it for two or three months before it fell out of my lap and the screen cracked.
    I got a replacement and all my stuff from the previous phone was on the new one- my notes, pictures, etc.
    I cracked that phone and got it replaced yesterday, and started to panick because none of my notes were there, and my pictures (which the store transfered for me) were all out of order.
    I have important things in my notes that I need, along with my music and pictures.
    My question is, if all the data from the previous phone was on my old phone, can I delete the cloud storage for the previous phone because it was all on my old phone?

    Not sure what it is you are asking? If you are looking for your Notes, then what does deleting the iCloud storage have to do with it?
    Do you have the same iCloud account signed onto the new phone? When you go to iCloud.com on a computer, can you see your notes? If so, then make sure that the Notes option is turned on in Settings>iCloud. If your notes are in iCloud.com, then they should push down to any device that is signed onto the same iCloud account and that has the Notes option turned on.

  • TS2972 can I use home sharing to transfer iTunes from old computer to new computer?

    can I use home sharing to transfer iTunes from old computer to new computer?

    You are trying to use home sharing, you are logged into the same account for sharing on both computers (and they are connected to the same wifi network), and what happens when you try to copy your library ? Can you update your iTunes so that they are the same on both ?

  • Using Home Sharing to transfer itunes library from old computer to new but connection keeps timing out...anyone have a solution?

    Hello everyone,
    I am attempting to use Home Sharing to import my itunes library from my old computer to new (as per instructions on this site), but the connection keeps "timing out" and so the import gets cut short.
    Both computers have the new itunes (I updated them last night), but only seem to get about 5 minutes (or 100 songs in) before the connection error occurs.
    I have an external hard drive and would use it to transfer my library (which is ~45GB) however my old computer isn't recognizing the hard drive so I thought Home Sharing was a good option...perhaps I was wrong?
    Help Please!
    Thanks

    Also check your settings under System Prefs > Security. My sisters new laptop kept logging off due to some setting there.

  • I have two apple id's because my hotmail account is no longer active. How can I delete the old one and use or update the new one?  Every time I try it won't allow me and now my iPad thinks there are two accounts and they are arguing with each other. Help!

    You can't merge accounts or copy content to a different account, so anything that you bought or downloaded via the old account is tied to that account - so any updates that those apps get you will only be able to download via that account. You can change which account is logged in on the iPad via Settings > Store

  • Can I use home sharing with an external iTunes folder??

    I just set up and am using home sharing for the first time. I have a MacBook Pro and iMac both set up, running iTunes and sharing will not work like I'd like. I use an external hard drive with my iMac and have an iTunes folder there (that sometimes it points to automatically, but sometimes I have to go under advanced and show the iMac to use that iTunes folder because it defaults to the internal iTunes folder on the computer). Should iTunes home sharing work with the external iTunes folder or does it only work with iTunes folders on the computer? I currently have my iTunes folder pointed to the external and can play music from there, but I cannot find a way to access that folder from my MacBook Pro.
    I'm wondering if it's a limitation of home sharing or a result of not having the iTunes folder "properly set up" on the iMac to always point to the external.

    I use an external hard drive with my iMac and have an iTunes folder there (that sometimes it points to automatically, but sometimes I have to go under advanced and show the iMac to use that iTunes folder because it defaults to the internal iTunes folder on the computer).
    Make sure the external drive is powered on and mounted on the desktop before launching iTunes.

  • Shutdown 2003 domain controller, Used new different name; same IP address on new 2012 DC - can I delete the old name object?

    Greetings,
    I promoted a 2012 domain controller, with new name and IP,   shutdown the old DC and re-ip'ed new DC with old IP address.
    after reboot everything is working fine.  I would like to deleted the old DC object name from the AD.  can I do so without interruption?
    Thank you

    Demotion using DCPROMO would have been the preferred way to go. 
    You should however be able to get away with deleting the computer object for the old DC using AD Users and Computers.  The metadata cleanup is now included in the modern UI, so you shouldn't need to use NTDSUtil to do the cleanup of references to the
    old DC.
    I would also manually remove the NS record for the old DC from your DNS zone(s) as this is not handled by the object deletion. 
    Also, have a good look through the DNS records anyway and see if there are any references to the old name (A, SRV records) and delete them manually if you find some.

  • HT3819 I have a new apple MacBook Pro. All my music is on my old computer and on my I-Pod. Can I use home sharing to transfer my music onto my new computer?

    I have a new apple MacBook Pro. All my music is on my old computer and my i-pad. What is the easiest way to transfer my music onto my new
    computer?

    apps
    If you have an iPod touch or iPhone with iOS 4 or later software, or an iPad, you can use iTunes to transfer files between your computer and an app on your device that supports file sharing.
    You might want to do this if, for example, you want to save files you create on your device to your computer, or take files with you so you can use them when you’re away from your computer.
    You don’t need to sync your device to transfer files, but your device needs to be connected to your computer.
    For information about supported apps, see the documentation for your apps.
    Hide
    To transfer files from your iPod touch, iPhone, or iPad to your computer:
    Connect your iPod touch, iPhone, or iPad to your computer.
    In iTunes, select your device (below Devices), and click the Apps button.
    Below File Sharing, from the list on the left, select the app on your device that you want to transfer a file from.
    From the list on the right, select the file you want to transfer, and click “Save to.”
    In the window that appears, select the destination where you want to save the file, and click Choose.
    The file is saved to the selected destination on your computer.
    SImport music and video already on your computer
    If you have audio or video files on your computer, you can import them into iTunes so that they appear in your iTunes library.
    Hide
    Here are ways to add items from your computer to your iTunes library:
    Drag a file or folder from the Finder to the iTunes window.
    If you add a folder, all the files it contains are added to your library.
    In iTunes, choose File > “Add to Library,” locate a file or folder, and then click Choose.
    By default, iTunes places a copy of each audio file in the iTunes folder (Home/Music); the original file remains in the current location. For information about adding an alias to the file (instead of creating a copy), see Add items to your library without copying them to your iTunes folder.

  • How do you use home sharing to send an album from a pc to an iphone?

    I just got an iphone 5 and am trying to move purchased music from my husband's itunes to my phone.  I've enabled home sharing, the music is on my iphone but will only play when his computer is on and sharing is enabled.  How do I permantley add it to my phone?  Is that allowed??

    The short answer: because Home Sharing isn't designed for sharing apps, and apps aren't designed to be shared.
    The longer answer:  Think of it like this...
    You download some music in iTunes.  With Home Sharing, another user can listen to it by streaming it over the network.  But the data itself is on your computer.  If you turn off the computer or take it off the network, the other user can't access it.
    But if you send another user the app, they aren't just streaming the data- they installed it on their iOS device.  Because they weren't the one that purchased it, such a transfer could easily be considered "piracy" or "stealing," and nobody likes that (least of all, Apple). 
    When iTunes sees this app, it obviously recognized it, as if saying, "Hey, how did you get this app on your device, if I have no record of you purchasing/downloading it from the iTunes store?"

  • How do I use Home Sharing to share apps between multiple Apple ID accounts on differect PCs in the same house?

    I purchased an app called "Where's My Water?" on my iTunes account. My iTunes account and iTunes library is set up on my desktop PC. Anyway, my mom wanted the app. She has her iTunes account and library set up on our laptop PC. So, I connected both my desktop and her laptop via Home Sharing by entering my account information on both computer's Home Sharing screens. The app was transferred from my library to her library. When I synced her iPod to her PC, it did not move the app to the iPod. So, I figured I would just manually download it off the app store on her iPod and she wouldn't get charged $0.99 because the app was already in her iTunes library. It turns out when I bought the app on her iPod, it actually took out money from her account. I want to know what went wrong. Why didn't the Home Sharing thing work so she could get the app I bought without having to buy it herself?

  • Can I use home sharing to import library changes from one library to another, on the same computer without duplicating the song/movie?

    I have two imacs, each with multiple accounts.  The itunes source data (music videos etc) is stored in the shared area of one imac. What is the best way of keeping each account on each imac up to date with any changes/additions in the source data?  I felt that Home sharing could be a solution, and it works well by import the library onto the second mac and I can also see if there are any changes by using the "Show items not in my lbrary" function.  However, this only works well for one account on the second mac, for the other accounts it will re-import and duplicate the data . 

    Locate them in the Windows Explorer, move or copy those files as you would any other, and drag them into the open iTunes window when the second library is loaded. If you're using two iTunes libraries on one user account, you only need to locate the files; otherwise, they need to be put in a shared area.
