  • IMac Hard Drive Crashed - Need to get music from iPod to new hard drive

    The 250GB hard drive on my iMac crashed - totally fried. It's been replaced and the operating system and software reinstalled. The problem - I have 22GB of music on my iPod (5G, 60GB) that I'd like to get back onto the computer. All music is legal - ripped from my library of 500+ CD's. The iPod is already set to manual updates and for use as a disc drive.
    Someone please tell me there's a way to do this without having to rip all 500 CD's again...

    Check this link for lots of solutions for that:

    If they are songs you purchased plug your iPod in and in iTunes select "File > Transfer Purchased Music From iPod".

  • After OS clean install I can't get iTunes to recognize library on external drive

    I have a Mac Pro that had an SSD boot drive and a separate hard drive that contains my iTunes Library and Media files.  Because of problems with my boot drive I erased the SSD and did a clean install of Mavericks.  Now I can't get iTunes to recognize the iTunes Media files on the hard drive.  I've gone to Preferences/Advanced in iTunes and changed the "iTunes Media folder location" to point to the hard drive with the iTunes data on it.  Nothing happens when I do this. No dialogs. Nothing.  I've trashed iTunes preferences to no avail.  I don't know what to do to fix this or troubleshoot it.  Any help will be greatly appreciated.

    Nothing should happen when you do this. This simply tells iTunes where to put anything you add after this. It doens't tell iTunes where anything already in iTunes is located.
    Hold Option, launch iTunes, select Choose library... and select the iTunes folder on the hard drive.

  • I have an external hard drive hooked up to my time capsule how do i get iTunes to recognize the external hard drive

    i have an external hard drive hooked up to my time capsule andi can not get my macbook pro with itunes to recognize the hard drive. does the hard drive need to be formatted to my mac. it has been formatted and does have existing fles on it.  Thanks for the help in advance.

    Well sometimes it won't boot, but the drive is fine.
    You'll have to run through these steps and depending what occurs (or doesn't) will give you a clue, if you need to replace the drive and restore from the TM drive.

    My computer is dead, is my personal data lost?
    Create a data recovery/undelete external boot drive
    In the future, consider bootable clones, they are bootable, but TM drives are not.

  • Cannot get iTunes to play from ext. hard drive - desperate!

    Please, please help. I have tried everything that I can think of. I have iTunes set to play from the XHD and it still won't (even tho it shows the XHD as the location of the file). I can't put new music on my iPod...because the new stuff went right into a new, totally wiped out version of iTunes on the hard drive. This is the only iTunes I can get to open. If I plug in my ipod, it will sync and get wiped out. HEEEEEEELLLLLLLP!

    What kind of external drive? What are your system specs? What format is the media and do those clips play OK in Quicktime if opened from the Finder?

  • Need help getting the powerbook to see the hard drives

    I have been working on the Powerbook G4 17 inch. I am trying to reinstall the Mac OS 10.4 but when I get to the screen where I have to select a disk none show up. I have tied going in to disk utility and formating the drive but I get error codes. I them tried to reset the PRAM and it did not work. Now the mouse pad is not working and I can't get the start up disk to work.

    well I did not write it down but the hard drive has dismounted and now when I hold down the option key during start up it does not show the drives. It will however show the install disk. Now when I try to boot the disk it will not boot. The only thing I can think of is the original install disk needs to be out in the computer. The owner does not have one and I own MacBook's.

  • HT1349 I had to get a new computer as my hard drive went and lost everything. How do I get my itunes library back?

    I had to get a needed to get a new computer as my hard drive died. How do I geatr my ituens library of songs back?

    The easy way is from the backup you make of your computer so in case something happens you don't lose anything.
    You can download some media files purchased from Apple:
    Downloading (using iOS or computer) past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store - http://support.apple.com/kb/ht2519 - enabled with iTunes 10.3 and newer; not all media formats are available in all countries (see: iTunes in the Cloud and iTunes Match Availability by Country - http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5085); apps, books (not audiobooks), music, t.v. shows, and movies (some - not all studios have permitted this).  Downloading previously purchased movies and TV shows requires iTunes 10.6 or later.  Discontinued items not available. For items not included in the iCloud list (e.g., ringtones), or locations or computer systems where iCloud is not (yet?) available, you only get one download per fee paid.  Apple notes it is your responsibility to back up your purchases.
    Select the store on the left side of iTunes.
    Click on Purchased on the right side under Quick Links.
    You can re-download your available previous purchases.
    This will not reconstruct your library as it was.  It just puts the media back.  You will have to do playlists, ratings, etc.  If you have music from another source you will have to get it from there again.

  • How do I get my iTunes to reference an external hard drive folder?

    I don't want to put all of my music on my laptop. I would like iTunes to reference my external hard drive iTunes folder for my music rather than the default folder on my computer. I have tried to change the iTunes Media folder to my "iTunes - External," but when I then re-open my iTunes, there is no music there. Help?

    The only work around I have ever figured out for this problem is to create a new library with a different name and then add the music folder on your external HD to iTunes, Depending on the size this may take a while but it has worked for me. Good luck!

  • My old laptop crashed, and took my iTunes account with it.  I got a new laptop, and want to sync my iTouch to my new iTunes account.  It gives me an error message stating that I can't sync to multiple iTunes accounts, but I can't access my old one!  Help!

    My old laptop crashed, and took my iTunes account with it.  I got a new laptop, and want to sync my iTouch to iTunes.  It gives me an error message stating that I can't sync to multiple iTunes accounts, but I can't access my old one! 
    How can I get my new iTunes account to allow me to Sync my iTouch?  The only option it gives me is to "transfer purchases" from my iTouch to iTunes, but that is only about 25% of my iTunes library-most of it is CDs I have uploaded.  How can I Sync without losing all my music from my iTouch???
    Also, I have lectures and photos, etc. on my iTouch that I don't want to lose.
    I've tried a few of the iPod copy programs-the free ones and the ones you have to pay for, but I can't find one that will work for ALL my content on an iTouch.
    Right now, I can't get anything from my iTouch to iTunes, and I can't update my iTouch with my new iTunes purchases, so I'm stuck!  Help!

    Also-I tried to use my backup hard drive, but I wasn't able to drag/transfer/send/move any of my muic files onto my iTouch when the iTouch was connected to my computer.  I can't figure out why it won't let me do that. 
    The only thing I can see when I open my iTouch on my computer is my file with photos.  I can't see videos, music, or anything else.  What's going on?

  • Torch is not working I need to get my info from BB Protect

    My Torch just stopped working and I just got an iPhone.  I need to get my info that is stored on BB Protect and download my pics, etc. into my PC or my new iPhone.  How can I do this?  I have a lot of work stuff in there and I am desperate!

    1. Pics are not backed up to Protect. Are you pics on your REMOVABLE media card in your 9810?
    2. You can only restore Protect backed up data to another BlackBerry. Have you ever backed your 9810 using the BlackBerry Desktop Software?
    3. Get a new BlackBerry Z10... soooo much better than an iPhone... and you can restore your Protect data direct.
    1. If any post helps you please click the below the post(s) that helped you.
    2. Please resolve your thread by marking the post "Solution?" which solved it for you!
    3. Install free BlackBerry Protect today for backups of contacts and data.

Please help for I am not that computer savy and don't want to mess anything up.
    Thanks! 

    I called Apple Support and they walked me through it. They told me to basically copy and paste my music to the external hard drive. (I think.) Or maybe it was they had me transfer a folder to the EHD. I don't exactally remember it was a few years back. But I tried to plug in the EHD before starting and...nothing. Still says same thing, "locate file."
