IPod transfer from PC to MAC

I just got a mac and am new to this whole thing, so bare with me. I have had my iPod synced to my PC for about a year now and want to transfer my iTunes library to my MAC, is this possible, if so How?

Do you have a way to transfer from iPod to iTunes
Problem - The majority of my music was in the itunes library on my PC. That computer crashed and all data was lost. My only backup of my music is the music on my iPod.
How do I take the music that is on my iPod and transfer it to the itunes library on my Mac. If I hit sync then my iPod will be wiped clean and it will filled with the iTunes library on my Mac (which is less then what is currently on my iPod)
Thanks

I am trying to do a migration transfer from an older Mac Pro, running Leopard, to a newer Mac Pro, running Lion. There is a step that asks for a "passcode" to proceed. I have no idea what that passcode is. It seems to want a numeric code.

Ipod music transfer from PC to Mac?

Hello,
I recently reformatted my ipod shuffle to PC so as to use as a portable drive. On my PC I have music that I do not have on my Mac. Itunes deleted the music from mac and replaced with music from PC. when I plugged the ipod back into the Mac, it asked some weird question about which library to use (yes or no options), one answer(no?)did nothing and no longer recognized the ipod until an unplug and reconnect. the other answer(yes?)replaced the music library with the macintosh's original playlist.
So, is it possible to transfer music from a PC to mac? Is there some sort of copyright issue I'm missing here? If I replace the ipod music from the PC itunes library again, how can I transfer that music to the Mac?

I found this which I think answers the question:
Can I take a friend's iPod shuffle and browse or play its content on my machine (like I can with other iPods)?
No, there is no manual mode that allows you to view or play the content from a friend's iPod shuffle on your computer. This also means that you cannot load music from multiple computers or iTunes libraries onto iPod shuffle like you can with other iPods.
Can I transfer data to iPod shuffle from multiple computers when in disk mode?
Yes. If you put iPod shuffle in disk mode, you can transfer data from multiple computers from the Finder (Mac) or Explorer (Windows). You can only load music from one computer, using iTunes.
Can I use iPod shuffle with both a Macintosh and a Windows computer?
Yes. When you place iPod shuffle in disk mode, you can use it to transfer data between multiple computers, running either operating system.
Thanks anyway, seems like a strange thing not to be able to do.

I used Migration Assistant to transfer from MBP to Mac Mini. Documents cannot be "seen" or "found". Stumped!

System Preferences/Users & Groups shows you the various user accounts you have.
Look at your hard drive in the Finder sidebar. You should see Applications, Library, System, and Users. If you look in Users you will see a Shared folder. From the user Migration Assistant created, find the iTunes folder and drag it to Shared. Log out and log in using your normal user account, go to the same place and copy it to Music in your normal user account. Another option is to leave it in shared so any user can access it. You will have to tell iTunes where to find the music by going to iTunes/Preferences/Advanced.

Ipod Switch from Windows to Mac: Possible?

Hi, I'm new here. If this has been asked, I couldn't find it.
I just bought a Macbook Pro; first Apple computer I've owned.
My iTunes library is on my IBM. Is it possible to get my songs into my Apple and then reformat the iPod and reload them?
thanks.
Regards,
Mark

You can use your iPod which will work on your Mac, there are a number of third party utilities that you can use to retrieve the 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. I use Senuti but have a look at the others and go with whichever you prefer.

Another way of course would be to network the two computers and copy over your iTunes folder. There is a good general guide to switching from Windows to Mac at the following link that touches on moving music as well How to Move to a Mac - Get your stuff from your PC to your new Mac
There are also these guides:
How to move music between authorised computers
Moving your iTunes Music Folder This is written around moving to another drive on your computer but should adaptable for moving to another computer ok and also Networking with a Windows PC
Don't forget by the way if you have purchased any tracks from the iTunes Music Store to deauthorise your old PC if you are disposing of it so you don't use up your 5 allowances How to move music between authorised computers

IPod Nano from PC to Mac-- how do I tranfer?

I originally had my iPod linked to my PC. I just got a mac (my first), and when I plug my iPod in, the iPod screen does its do not disturb thing, an iPod icon shows up on my desktop, but there doesnt appear to be any syncing going on. How do I get my mac to recognize my iPod?
-- My mac (its second hand) has itunes installed on it.
Thank you.

You might want to try putting your iPod into disk mode.
For instructions, see this: Putting your iPod into disk mode
If that doesn't seem to work, you might want to try restoring your iPod from your PC, then try connecting it to your Mac.
It seems a bit strange that your iPod isn't being recognized in iTunes, since a Windows-formatted iPod is compatible for both Windows and Mac syncing.

How do I transfer from pc to mac

I want to know the easiest way to transfer from a pc to a mac with OS X Mavericks.

For more information, and a good read, get Switching to the Mac: The Missing Manual.
I read it about six years ago when we switched to Macs. It will refer you to Migration Assistant but also has info like getting O2M to move your Outlook mail files over to Mail. I liked being able to read about the switch, plan the move, and have something to refer to later.

Is Apple compatible with Microsoft Office?
Any computer is compatible as long as it can read and write Office files. But for perfect (or at least near perfect) compatibility, you would want to purchase Office 2011 for Mac.
How can I transport from Windows to Mac?
You can't directly transport any installation of Windows. All PC's come with a machine specific version of Windows intended for that PC. They don't have all of the hardware drivers the retail disks cover.
If you want Windows on your Mac, you would first purchase a full version copy (NOT an upgrade disk) of Windows 7 or 8. Those are the only supported versions on newer Macs. You install it through the supplied Boot Camp utility that comes with the Mac to create a new partition for Windows, and then install the retail copy of Windows you purchased.
The reason only these versions of Windows are supported is the same basic reason as a machine specific version of Windows for a PC. Apple only includes the necessary Mac hardware drivers for Win 7 or 8 on new Macs.
Once Windows is installed, you could then install the version of Office for Windows you already own. The nuisance of a Boot Camp partition is that you have to physically boot to either Windows or OS X, so you can only use the apps of the OS you're in at the time. To use both at once, you'd have to use virtual machine software (Parallels, VMware, VirtualBox) and then install Windows within that. Then you'd be able to run Windows inside of OS X and have access to both at the same time.

Excel files are locked since transfer from pc to mac

I just transferred my excel files from pc to mac and now i can't open them, it says they are "locked for editing" by user (i did not lock them) i can only open as read only. Is there a fix for this problem? Anyone else had this problem?

Where are these files saved??
Maybe this will help...
I found this post on a different web site - http://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/mac/forum/macoffice2011-macexcel/office-files -locked-for-editing-in-mixed/d838b0d7-6b26-4206-b310-029c73cf0ba6.
This problem is caused by a temporary file that was not deleted after a previous edit session was completed. The file is hidden and not normally visible through the Finder. The easiest way to view hidden files is to install the hidden files dashboard widget which is available here:
http://www.apple.com/downloads/dashboard/developer/hiddenfiles_matthansen.html.
Use the widget to show hidden files then use Finder to open the folder that contains the spreadsheet you wish to edit. If your spreadsheet is named abc.xlsx, you will also see a file named ~$abc.xlsx. Delete the file that begins with ~$ and you will be good to go.

Ipod Switch from PC to Mac

Here's the problem:
Every time I try and sync to my new MAC OR old PC the message is: "Currently associated with another library, etc" and then offers me a chance to erase and then sync.
The problem is that there are approximately 100 more songs on my ipod than either my new MAC library or my old PC library (their numbers are about the same). I don't know which extra 100 songs are on the ipod and not the library, but I would really like not to lose them.
Any ideas before I erase my ipod?
thanks

You will have to set your iPod preferences to "manually manage". The following link will give detailed information.
