ITunes data transfer from old HD is missing songs

I replaced the HD on my iMac. The old HD was OK but I didn't want to take chances. I used super duper to transfer the old data to the new HD prior to replacing it. After replacing the HD I loaded SL and then transferred the data and apps over from the old HD using migration assistant. Now I get random error messages everytime I open iTunes. They say ' "Song Name" is not authorized on this computer'. If I go to authorize the computer it tells me that this computer is already authorized for this Apple ID. Now several of my purchased songs are not showing up ["Song Name" Can not be found] and it seems to find more songs to have a problem with every time I open iTunes. Is this a data transfer error? Old iTunes ID error? Thanks!

Sounds like the data simply did not transfer.
If you still have access to the old hard drive, copy the ENTIRE iTunes folder from the old drive to the new drive.

  • Trouble with "data transfer" from old computer. Cannot open documents. Please help! Thank you.

    Apple did a "data transfer" from our old computer onto our new iMac, and we cannot open any of our old documents that were "transfered." When I open them in "TextEdit," all I get is a lot of random letters and symbols. I've tried everything, please help. Thank you!

    What old documents, you need to be much more specific. The info we are loooking for is what app created them, what the file extension is etc...

  • Backup and data transfer from old to new iphone

    I recently upgraded to the iphone 5s from iphone 4 and need to backup and transfer data from old phone to the new phone.  I want to backup using itunes rather than using icloud.  Do I need to disable icloud backup on the old phone before I start the backup process.  Do I need to disable anything on my computer (icloud).  I am using Windows Vista and Itunes Version 10.7.  Would appreciate step by step instructions for backup and transfer..  I am not computer or iphone saavy and don't want to mess things up.

    If you backup with iTunes and you restored from the backup and the data are gone, then there is no where to retrieve them from unless you have another backup that contains those data.
    Launch iTunes on the computer and go to iTunes>Preferences>Devices. You will see a window with all of your backups listed in it.
    If you see a recent backup that you are certain contains the data that you need, recover deleted data from iPhone backup.
    If your note is gone from iCloud.com there is only a few ways to possibly recover it.
    The first things I would check is a iCloud Backup, a iTunes Backup, or a 3rd party email that may have contained the note. To restore from a iCloud or iTunes backup follow this link. This article explains how to restore a device from either back up.
    Note if you have backed up since the note went missing, you will not have the note on the backup. Make sure you do not back up if trying to restore from a back up as this will back up the content without the note.
    To get to the "Set up assistant" on an iOS device, you must go to Settings>General>Reset>Erase All Content and Settings. Once the phone restarts, you will be at the "Set up Assistant"

  • Data transfer from old to new Palm using HotSync Manager and iSync

    I'm upgrading from a Palm m515 to a Palm TX and want to quickly and easily transfer all of my data and applications. I'm using Palm's HotSync Manager but not the Palm Desktop software -- I'm using Apple's iSync to synchronize my data with iCal and Address Book.
    Can anyone tell me what steps I should follow to safely accomplish the transfer?
    I was hoping someone had written a guide to this, but Web searching revealed nothing. The best info I found was on Palm's site, but these pages don't take iSync into account and assume people are using Palm Desktop:

    Just use Migration Assistant when you start the new machine. You can choose to migrate from either the old MBP or your TM backup.
    If you have already taken delivery of the new machine and are using it you can still do this by running Migration Assistant.
    It's pretty simple process.

  • Entourage data transfer from old computer

    Firewired Entourage Microsoft User info from my PowerBook G4 to the new MacBook Pro>Documents then launched Entourage expecting the old data to transfer. Didn't happen. Even tried to put a copy in hard drive. Anyone know the answer?

    It's not automatic unless you manually replace the default user data file that Entourage creates when it's installed. There's an "Import Wizard" under Entourage's File menu. It should walk you through the process. It moves the old data into the new default folder.
    The only trouble I had in importing is that, with two HDs and four partitions, I mixed up older backups and the most recent user file that I needed to import. Eventually, my feeble brain remembered where I put it and the import took only seconds.

  • Time Machine Data Transfer - From FireWire Drive to Time Capsule - HELP!

    Time Machine Data Transfer - From FireWire Drive to Time Capsule - HELP!
    I've been searching for weeks for a solution to my problem. Here's the story I've come across since I installed Leopard on Oct. 26, 2007.
    I first installed Leopard on my Early 2006 MacBook and set up Time Machine with a 200GB external FireWire drive. Since then, things have been fine, until Time Machine started deleting the oldest backups. I'm a pack-rat and hated this feeling of losing data. So, I now have a few months worth of backups on my 200GB FireWire drive.
    The Time Capsule is released, I finally talk myself into getting one and transferring my old data from the 200GB drive to my 1TB TC.
    I did some researching through forums about how to move data from one Time Machine drive to another, so I took the concept and wanted to apply it to my Time Capsule. I made a DMG image of my 200GB drive, in order to move the data. I figured if I can make an image, copy it, and open it on the Time Capsule - all will go smoothly - just as some had mentioned they've done with external drives.
    Now, I have a 164GB DMG image of my Time Machine, with no hope in sight of gaining it back. I've tried taking the image, using Disk Utility, and restoring my original 200GB external with the imaged Time Machine data, but whenever I do, I come across error messages.
    In Disk Utility, I've done the following steps:
    * Disk Image is found on Time Capsule
    * I select the 200GB drive and select 'Restore'
    * I drag and drop the Disk Image to the 'Image' field
    * I drag and drop the 200GB drive into the the 'Restore' field
    * Select 'Erase Destination'
    * Select 'Restore'
    * I get the warning message that I'll erase the drive - I proceed
    * I enter my password
    Error message pops up:
    "Restore Failure: Could not find any scan information. The source image needs to be imagescanned/scanned for restore."
    I select the image in Disk Utility, then proceed with the following steps:
    * Click on "Image" then down to "Scan Image for Restore"
    * I enter my password
    After hours of waiting, I get another error message:
    "Unable to scan. (Broken pipe)."
    I'm going to see, after transferring the DMG to the Time Capsule, if I can drag-and-drop the files from the Time Capsule drive onto the 200GB hard drive.
    IF anyone has any more suggestions, please let me know!

    32 updates on this Mac since December 2007 - Hardware, software, OS...
    They keep coming at about 6 or 7 a month. Some of them I don't care about, but several are essential. 10.5.3 has been seeded to the testers a couple of times and will probably show up in the next few weeks. Jaguar wasn't worth a d*mn until 10.2.6, Panther about 10.3.4, Tiger about 10.4.4 - I'd say we are ahead or on schedule Too bad I can't get Apple to fix Spaces. I wish they'd focus on what I want but I guess some take more time than others.

  • HT1711 I recently deleted iTunes off my computer by accident, when I reinstalled it I got the new version and I can't figure out how to get my music to store on my iTunes to transfer from my iPhone to iTunes.

    I recently deleted iTunes off my computer by accident, when I reinstalled it I got the new version and I can't figure out how to get my music to store on my iTunes to transfer from my iPhone to my iTunes.  I goal is to get my iPod filled with the music that I have stored on my iPhone and figured the only way to do so is to use iTunes as my transfer hub.  Any suggestions?

    Wow you're kind of a iTunes bully.  Dude the reason I am asking for advice and help is I am completely computer ********.  If I knew the answer I wouldn't be asking.  Anyways.  Question to anyone else. 
    If I have no music on my iTunes at all and no music on my computer, hard drive or any other version of storage yet there is a playlist on my iPhone. While my iPhone is plugged into my PC and my iTunes is up, is there a way to swap my playlist from my iPhone to my iTunes?  Directly?  Without downloading some new media source or backing up my old media source from my history.  The reason everything was deleted (iTunes and media source) was due to the size of everything and space it was requiring.  I am simply trying to get 233 songs from A to B. 
    I have tried magic but it is not working.

  • I need a data transfer from intact hard drive of older macbook that won't boot. Can Apple provide this service even though my one to one membership has expired?

    I need a data transfer from a 2005 Macbook to my new one (2010). I damaged the old laptop and although it wouldn't turn on, when I brought it to the Apple Store they ascertained that the hard drive was still intact. They said I needed to purchase a one to one membership to get a data transfer, which I did, but somehow forgot about it and now it's expired. Is there any way I can still get the data from the old hard drive transferred to my new macbook? Can Apple provide this service even though my one to one membership has expired?

    Go to OWC where you can purchase a suitable enclosure for the drive. You will need an enclosure for a SATA notebook drive. This is assuming the old computer is a MacBook and not an iBook. I make this observation because the first MacBook was released in 2006, not in 2005. If yours is a 2005 model then it's an iBook and uses an ATA interface.
    Install the old drive in the enclosure, connect to your new computer. You can then transfer your data.

  • Candidate Data transfer from E-Recruiting System to HR system for New Hiring.

    Hi All,
    Hope everyone doing in good Spirit.
    We are implementing E-Recruiting as Standalone for one of our client.
    Can any please help me in regards with Data transfer from E-Rec System to HR System for hiring once the candidate has been successfully completed recruiting process.
    You inputs are highly appreciable.
    Thank you.
    Sekhar.

    Hello Sekhar,
    there are three different scenarios for transferring the data of an external candidate to the HR core for hiring.
    the easiest and most commonly used is the RFC connection. When creating an activity of category data transfer the data of the candidate is transferred from eRec to HR core. There it is stored in table T752F. Then you can run transaction PA48. There you can select the candidate and run a hiring action. This is the same action like in PA40 only the system will preset the fields with the values from eRec (similar to batch input).
    Instead of using the RFC solution you can transfer the data using PI (this can be activated using a switch in T77S0). To be honest none of my customers is using this. Either they had no PI server at all or they did not use it for eRec
    The third was delivered with a business function HCM_HIRE_INT_CI_1. This is based on HCM processes and forms and targeted towards customers using Talent Management Core (e.g. data for education and work experience is transferred into the TM Core infotypes 740X as contrary to the hr core standard infotypes 0022 and 0023 they are structured like the eRec ones). Of course as you can do a lot of customer enhancements to HCMP&F you can replace the behavior nearly completely. One or two of my clients discussed this solution but as far as I know none is actually using it.
    The simple truth is most customers seem to not use any integration at all. The first solution is easy to activate but only covers around 13 fields. Compared to a real full blow hiring action this is not even 10% of the fields which have to be entered. So the presetting this small number of fields is not a great help especially as you have to check every information anyways. Furthermore PA48 is not very nice and lacks functions to structure the incoming records which makes it difficult to handle in large distributed organizations.
    The other two options require a lot of infrastructure for small functionality. What we discussed with a client was using the new hire integration to preset a full hiring form with eRec data and then send to the candidate as offline form to gather all missing information and use this for hiring. But there were to many issues on data privacy aspects when sending a form with social security data, bank account data, etc. via email. Furthermore they required actual signatures.
    Kind regards

  • Data transfer from planning to ASO.

    Hi,
    Like that:
    Data load in Planning, and data retrieve in ASO. And we want a real time data transfer from Planning to ASO.
    Transparent partition from BSO to ASO is a choice, but the performance is an issue.
    If we user replicated partition, data cannot be transferred to ASO instantly, since there is a step to replicate data to ASO.
    And for Map Reporting Application in Planning, we got the mapping issue, since there are some dimension members totally different between Planning and ASO.
    So, can anyone help to show other ways to do that?
    Thank you.

    iTunes does transfer files like pictures, music, video, and I believe under the apps section it should transfer specific app files too.
    otherwise I don't know. I tried to get my ipad to link to my computer with bluetooth (it saiys it is linked now) but when I try to transfer a file or browse the device it won't work.... I dunno!
