    It should be in Favorites.
    If not, click on the desktop then go to Finder menu > Preferences > Sidebar and tick Music.

  • Importing from iPhone 4 to new Macbook Pro iTunes?

    Have an almost full iPhone 4 and have just ordered a new Macbook Pro
    How do i import my phone songs, and apps and basically my itunes to my new Macbook Pro? Or do i have to log into my itunes account and re-burn my CD"s back into the computer to put back onto the iPhone?
    Im looking for the Quickest easiest way to get back up and running with my itunes account and songs that are only on my iPhone at the moment? as well as apps etc that i have bought in the past?

    "So in essence my iPhone is my only storage device with the music/apps on  - but it looks like i can't download copies 'off' into my new Mac as backup?"
    The iphone is not a storage device.  it simply mirrors the selected content of your computer.
    It has always been very basic to always maintain a backup copy of your computer files/docs/pics/music/etc.
    Use your backup copy to put everything back.
    The music sync is one way - computer to iphone.  The only exception is itunes purchases.  Without syncing:  File>Transfer Purchases
    "So do i have the unenviable task of re-importing my cd's/songs into my new itunes computer and re-logging into my itunes account??"
    Yes.
    "Do i have to do this all by hand again and re-sync with my iPhone 4?"
    Yes.
    " Same with downloading off my photos to iPhoto?"
    The photo sync is one way as well.  Your pics should be included in your regular backup of your computer.  Pics on the iphone are optimized for viewing on iphone (reduced in resolution).  You can e-mail them to yourself but they will never be of the original quality.
    Always maintaining a backup is very important.

  • Import iweb site in a new macbook

    hi, i'm french sorry for my english
    so my macbook hard disk broked last week, i buy a new macbook pro
    but how can i do to continue my web site with iweb09 ?
    i have no data just on my idisk and iweb says "open problem with the file ....iweb/Domains.sites2.
    how can i do ?
    thanks

    Welcome to the discussions. Only iWeb's Domain file can be opened in iWeb. See this Apple doc on How to back up MobileMe data. It says:
    Any websites you have published with iWeb should still be available within iWeb. iWeb stores everything in a Domain file, normally located in the ~/Library/Application Support/iWeb folder (although it can be moved). If you no longer have this file, you can view your currently published pages and manually recreate them within iWeb, but there is no way to import published pages back into iWeb. You can manually back up the Domain file, or use Backup to back it up.
    Paragraph 2.3 of this FAQ page gives some tips on how to use published files, graphics, photos, etc., to help rebuild the site from scratch:

  • Is there a patch for Word? My new macbook air keeps freezing up on me when I use Word.

It has frozen on me 4 times within the last hour of trying to work on a word docuement with i try to insert anyting into the document the only fix is to manually reboot by holding down the on/off button. I am not a happy camper at this point and am wondering if there is an upadate or a patch to fix these freezes!?

  • How quick to export HD footage on new Macbook Pro?

    I have a mid 2007 Macbook Pro (2.4 ghz Intel Core 2 Duo, 4 gig memory, 7200 rpm hard drive) and will be editing HD footage soon. I've been told I should avoid it with my laptop though it seems to work fine on the whole.
    What it does seem slow on is exporting and was wondering if someone could help me judge this....
    I exported a Quicktime Movie of 2 mins 59 secs of XDCam EX footage shot at 35 mbs and it took 10 mins 51 secs. (I put a couple of lower thirds on it and few video tracks.) Just how does this hold up against a new Macbook Pro? Is this good or bad?
    Thanks

    do some searching here.  My experience has been to set up my xdcam sequences  to render as prores.  I thought this sped things up as I think every bit of an xdcam sequence has to be rendered even if you're exporting with current settings, but I seem to remember a recent thread saying this wasn't true.

  • What format am I supposed to import CDS into on my new Macbook Pro? CDS will import, but not play in iTunes once I import.

  • ActiveX, Word 2003: struggling new user

    Hi,
    I'm not new to LabVIEW, but I am new to using ActiveX and am struggling somewhat with the examples and understanding how they work, but I am muddling my way through.
    I have hit a stumbling block however: I've added an ActiveX control to the front panel,gone to "add Activex object", "Create Control", but there isn't anything like
    Microsoft Word Document,  which is what I am expecting.
    Should I be using a control,  or should I be using "Create Document"?
    For the record, here is what I would like to do & some background information:
    I am working on a semi-automated system for a mechanical assembly. The system will guide assemblers through the assembly process, step by step.
    The instructions for are in word document form.
    What I would like to do is display the relevant page from this word document on the front panel, and hence step through page by page as the assembly progresses.
    From what I understand, this should be possible.
    Thanks
    Andy

    Hi Andy,
    There doesn't appear to be an easy way to make the Word document viewable in an ActiveX container as there is no ActiveX viewer for Office Word. There are viewers for PowerPoint and Excel.
    Depending on how long the instructions are and how you wanted to control then i.r. scroll or just page by page, you could just hage each page as a JPEG file and use them as picture controls
    Would that be a possible solution to your application?
    Kind regards

  • Can I get Microsoft Word on the new MacBook

    I solved my problems of always working on her computer by buying my sweet wife a G5 and trashing her Dell. She is going to take a course at a college many miles from our home. I could not wean her from Word, but she is now a Mac Mail and Safari user. I purchased a version of Word when I purchased her G5. I would like to get her a MacBook but, I don't see the option at the Apple Store to buy one with Microsoft Word. Can anyone help me with a purchase of a MacBook with Word on it. Thanks, Steve

    "Can anyone help me with a purchase of a MacBook with Word on it. "
    No. Apple will not preinstall it. You must purchase Office/Word separately: http://www.microsoft.com/mac/products/word2004/word2004.aspx?pid=howtobuy

  • How do I load microsoft word on my new macbook air?

    i need help! I have no idea how to load this!! this is probably the most easiest thing in the world but I can't figure it out!!!! Thank you!

    Do you already have Microsoft Office?  If so it comes with it's own installer.  Just double click it and follow the instructions. Word is only one of its components that is installed.
    If you don't have Microsoft Office then you need to purchase it from Microsoft.
    If you don't have Microsoft Office and don't want to pay the purchase prices then there are some Office substitutes to choose from:
    LibreOffice
    OpenOffice
    NeoOffice
    These are all permutations of OpenOffice.

  • Import/Export App Overwrite Timing Out

    We are about to begin testing an application we've created, and need a testing environment. I have been able to successfully export an application from one server and import it to HTML DB on another, but every time I get to the screen (on the new server) where it asks me to confirm that I want to replace the already existing application, I hit the button to confirm, I wait forever as the blue bar creeps across the status bar of my browser, then I get a "Page Cannot be Displayed" error, like it's timing out or something.
    When I go back, the application appears to have installed normally and seems to work, but I am worried that because of what seemed to be the installation timing out, that there may be things that didn't quite transfer. Is this a valid concern, or should I assume that everything transferred normally?

    Murali,
    The process is actually pretty simple. In our case we had two servers, both w/ HTML DB installed. The way it basically works is that you go into the application you want to export, and you click the Export/Import link on the page. You will be taken through a simple step-by-step process by which you will ultimately just save the application somewhere as a .sql file. You will then go into HTML DB on the server where you would like the copied application to be, and click the same link, and go through a similar step-by-step process to import the application by browsing for it where it was saved when you exported it.
    A few suggestions:
    Any tables that are associated with the application will need to be recreated in your new environment. A simple way to do this is to use:
    CREATE TABLE table_name AS (
    SELECT * FROM table_name@oldserver
    for each of your tables, if there are only a few. If it is larger, you may just want to copy the entire schema over to the new server, which is what we ended up having to do. But our DBA did that, so I'm not as familiar w/ that process.
    However, if the tables have sequences associated with them they will need to be recreated on the new server as well, unless there is a way to copy them along w/ the table all at once, but as I said, we are not as familiar w/ that actual process. (You can find information on how to recreate the sequences here: https://cwisdb.cc.kuleuven.ac.be/ora10doc/server.101/b10759/statements_9001.htm)
    Of course you can simply truncate the tables if you don't want any of you previous data on your new tables.
    Another thing we noticed when we imported a new application, is that when a Named LOV was used in a column of an updatable report, it didn't transfer over, so we had to go back to that select list and reset it as that particular Named LOV.
    One thing you will want to be careful for if you're planning on importing/exporting applications frequently, for new versions and releases, is to make sure you don't hardcode any schema names in with your SQL in the application. This caused us some headaches because when we would import the new application, the new schema on which the tables existed was not the same as the one from the old app, and we kept getting errors until we went back and deleted every instance of the schema name in the SQL.
    There may very well be better and more efficient ways to do these things than how I have suggested, but these are methods we used and we have been successful so far.
    Hope this helps.

  • Migrating from ibook (10.4.11) to new macbook with 10.6

    I'm writing this to hopefully be informative for someone else with similar problems. Have had an ibook for many years. Lots of documents; mostly MS word. Bought new macbook (white) and started it up. It asked about migrating but I decided to use it for a couple simple things first and migrate the info from the old machine later. So later came and I networked the 2 machines together (the new book ain't got no firwire!) to transfer the stuffs over likety split. Once all the updates have been done I start migration assistant and find that I can only choose to move the user account from the ibook to the macbook; IE, I cannot replace the new user that I created on the macbook a couple days ago. So I figure I want a new account anyway so as to be free of various issues. I'll simply copy the files from the old account to the new one and move on. But, after this is done I find that the new user does not have permission to work with the old files. These files belong to the old user. So I do some searching and find a program called batchmod. I try to use it to change permissions on all files in the documents folder. No dice, it doesn't change all permissions. So do some more searching and end up calling apple. They answer my call pretty quickly. They suggest that I make the old moved account the master admin account and delete the new one. I figure I'll try this so I log into the old account but find that many things are acting buggy. I can't change the desktop image. If I change dock preferences they only change for that session. As soon as I log out and back in I'm back to default. Some programs moved over from the old machine don't load or work correctly (Brother printer software for one). So I decide to give batchmod another try after some more reading. What I ended up doing was making a new group and putting the old and new accounts in the group. Then I changed permissions on all the docs in all their folders to allow this new group to have read and write access to the files. The tricky part was figuring out that batchmod would only do it's stuff one time per launch. For every new folder or change that I wanted to try I had to quite batchmod and start it again. The secret seems to be whether or not it asks you for a password. So now I've got access to the files in the new account and it's running sweet. My next task is figuring out how to make MS Word 2008 submit. I mean, Pages is pretty nice. If only it was suited to interfacing with other Word users then we'd have something.

    You would have saved yourself all of these issues if you would simply migrated everything on first boot. The key to moving stuff from one account to another is to follow these steps laid out by Király in

  • HELP PLEASE! Export Aperture 1 Library and Import to Aperture 3? Or another way to transfer files WITH changes into new MacBook Pro?

    Hi everyone,
    I recently purchased a new MacBook pro with Retina display, to better manage Aperture and Photoshop. I took the advice of the genius (and after spending all night messing with permissions, etc.), opted out of using Setup Assistant or Migration Assistant and decided to transfer my files manually (as the two systems weren't merging properly the first time -- it was a giant mess). Long story short, I tried to transfer everything from my previous MacBook (operating on 10.5.8 with Aperture 1), and Aperture 3 couldn't handle it. It was crashing, and crashing so badly that NO button could be activated in the program (I FINALLY got Aperture working by disabling previews, and by moving from a managed library to a referenced library).
    I initially dragged and dropped all photos from my previous MacBook to my external, and imported. I obviously lost folders, edit history and any other information that I needed to know what edits had been done on the file. Additionally, any movie that had been imported into Aperture was corrupt (the file was not transferring over correctly). I searched and searched for different methods, and finally found that I could export each project from my original MacBook as a "Library" and consolidate masters, or not, etc. I took the time and did this for each project. When I went to import these into Aperture 3, it said I was not able to because the libraries were from a previous version of Aperture.
    Is there any way to bypass this? Or another way to transfer my projects? I understand I won't be able to do this for my entire library... but I'm wondering if there's any way to transfer my changes made, projects and details from Aperture 1 to Aperture 3? (and for those who might pose upgrading my original MacBook as an option, I cannot. It's too old. I think the best I could uprade to is Aperture 2, IF i can update the OS. Though, I definitely don't think I should be forced to do that since I've aleady re-invested in a new computer, AND had to re-buy Aperture for the new one.
    Any/all advice is VERY much appreciated, as I really want to move forward and FINALLY start appreciating this program and computer (i.e. my investment) and move forward business wise. Thank you!

    Hi Jack,
    Thanks for responding (as it seems as though no one else has been able to provide any insight as of yet)! Not sure if you saw my recent post, but the version of Aperture on the 2008 MacBook has been upgraded to 3.1.2 (not sure how; I bought it in 2009, but only have OS X 10.5.8... which apparently can't house 3.1.2 of Aperture, but hey, like many other anomalies i'm encountering, I'm no longer surprised!). I am unable to upgrade it any further, as it warns me that my OS X does not fit the requirements. I exported the projects as libraries; however, like I posted before, apparently these are from too old of a version for the new Aperture (3.3.1) to handle and import.
    It's getting to the point where I'd almost pay to upgrade the OS X on my previous MacBook (10.5.8) to something newer in order to THEN update Aperture to a newer version; however, my previous MacBook simply cannot handle this (the specs are awful -- hence my decision to save up and upgrade to the newest MBP with Retina).
    I've spent hours upon hours transferring files, libraries as projects, previews, versions, even masters (though, apparently some of them aren't accessible?) with no luck. I've rebuilt the library and reprocessed everything. And this is all after having to return one MBP already since Aperture 3.3.1 is glitch-y as it is, and froze everything for having a "managed library". So, now that I know that I have to deal with a referenced library in Aperture... I just need to actually transfer my previous library to my new one (hopefully WITH adjustments since these are years worth of photos and work).
    Again, any help is appreciated. I've lost enough sleep, time, and vision health over this at this point.
    Also, I know Migration Assistant is an option, I was told that it wouldn't work properly anyway because of the different operating systems, and the potential for problems.

  • Using O2M I imported my contacts into Address Book. However upon exiting the contacts are not saved. This is on a new Macbook Pro Lion OS. How does one save the newly imported contacts?

    Using the program O2M I successfully imported emails from Outlook 2003 to Mail, and calendar events to iCal. However, repeated attempts to import contacts to Address Book have failed. The contacts appear to import, but when I close Address Book and reopen it, the contacts are gone. I tried File-Save, but Save is greyed out. This is a new Macbook Pro with the latest Lion OS. I wonder if O2M has not been updated to work with Lion. Or is there something I am overlooking in the import process?

    Hi Denisej and others who have encountered the same problem,
    I tried your work around. Unfortunately it did not work out for me because in my contacts there are an unknown number that still "refused" to be imported like that. When such a contact was in the group I selected for import the whole lot would be lost again after re-opening Address Book. Finally that meant that I had to import each contact one-by-one, each time with the need to close down Address Book. A job to go nuts and end up with a mouse injury. So I decided to use the Migration Assistant that Lion now offers
    https://discussions.apple.com/thread/3284404
    together with Windows Migration Assitant on my old PC. Obviously both Mac and PC have to be on the same network. For this I did not need to do anything special. Both make use of the same router and that is apparently sufficient. When migrating the contacts Lion creates a new account, so you need to log in to that new account to see your migrated contacts. I used the Export Address Book Archive function in the Address Book menu to copy the lot to my own Apple account. I got rid of the new account and I was finally where I wanted to be in the first place.
