Lost apps even if I copy my itunes files into the new ones

I changed my pc for a Mac
Then I copied my itunes files from my old pc into my new Mac.
I'm seeing my apps in my files but when I sync, most of my apps didn't sync.
What should I do.
Regards

If I copy my current iTunes library to the new computer, what will happen when I plug my iPod in?
if you copy the iTunes folder from the old to the new Mac, your Touch will just continue to sync with iTunes as if nothing happened.
make sure you copy the entire iTunes folder (not just the iTunes music or media folder).

I have a rather old iMac 20" (mid 2007) and I want to upgrade the Hard drive. How do I change it? How do I transfer all my applications? May I just copy the old hd into the new one? Thanks.

There are many online tutorials on how to change out the HD on a mid 2007 iMac. One of the originals is from 2007 and is Upgrade your iMac 20" or iMac 24" aluminum (mid 2007) to 1TB Hard Drive and 4 GB RAM - DIY Guide. As far as migrating your system Apple helps out with that in Setup Assistant which automatically starts when you turn on a new Mac for the first time. After you have installed the new HD you will have to format the new HD to Mac OS Extended (Journaled) and then you will have to install OS X. The first time you turn it on Setup Assistant will start. Follow the directions and you will be fine. In order to restore your information you will need to backup what is on the current internal HD first. I'd recommend using Time Machine (Assuming you are using Leopard or later) AND also creating a bootable clone using either SuperDuper or Carbon Copy Cloner.
Please complete your profile so at the very least we know what version of OS X your machine has installed.

My iTunes downloads were made using my old gmail address. I had to quit using this email address as it got hacked. I created a new gmail account. How can I get my iTunes downloads into the new gmail account?

My iTunes downloads were made using my old gmail address. I had to quit using this address as it got hacked. How do I get my iTunes downloads into my new iTunes account that was created with a new gmail address? In my old iTunes account (with the old gmail address, I can't 'update' my email address or even 'add an alternate address' as I had already created this gmail account and inputting the new address into iTunes gives me the 'pop-up' that 'this account is already in use.' Advice please!

Good luck. It took me weeks to fix this when I had to do it. Your old ID branches out in lots of places. You may have to delete app and get them again, at least that is what Apple told me. Plus, all of your settings on your iPad that required any ID, will have to be changed. My old ID kept showing up in different places for weeks. Changing it on Apple.com is just the beginning.

Copy the iTunes folder from the old computer to your new one.

When I go to uninstall itunes or install the new one on Windows 7, it says the file cannot be found so I don't know what to do. Any suggestions?

When I go to uninstall itunes or install the new version on Windows 7, it keeps telling me the file cannot be found and went through appdata folder and everything and cannot find how to correct this problem. Any suggestions?

That's perfect, thanks.
(1) Download the Windows Installer CleanUp utility installer file (msicuu2.exe) from the following Major Geeks page (use one of the links under the "DOWNLOAD LOCATIONS" thingy on the Major Geeks page):
http://majorgeeks.com/download.php?det=4459
(2) Doubleclick the msicuu2.exe file and follow the prompts to install the Windows Installer CleanUp utility. (If you're on a Windows Vista or Windows 7 system and you get a Code 800A0046 error message when doubleclicking the msicuu2.exe file, try instead right-clicking on the msicuu2.exe file and selecting "Run as administrator".)
(3) In your Start menu click All Programs and then click Windows Install Clean Up. The Windows Installer CleanUp utility window appears, listing software that is currently installed on your computer.
(4) In the list of programs that appears in CleanUp, select any iTunes entries and click "Remove", as per the following screenshot:
(5) Quit out of CleanUp, restart the PC and try another iTunes install. Does it go through properly this time?

Can I use my old internal hard drive and copy everything into the new one?

My internal hard drive is running out of space, and I want to buy a new one. But to do that, I'll have to buy a external hard drive to back up everything and then copy it back onto the new internal hard drive , right? I don't have that much budget. So can I use the old internal hard drive that I took out of my Macbook and copy everthing back into the new internal hard drive after the repalecment? so I don't need to buy a external hard drive to back up everything
Tks!

You will have to buy a new HDD and an enclosure to make the transfer. You can use Disk Utility to make the transfer.
INSTALLING A NEW HDD IN A MBP
1. Make certain that you have backed up all of your important data.
2. You will need a HDD enclosure. One with a USB connection will do. A 9 pin Firewire is better.
3. Install your new drive in the enclosure and connect it to your MBP.
4. Open DISK UTILITY>ERASE. From the left hand column drag the new drive into the 'Name' field. Make sure that the format is 'Mac OS Extended (Journaled)'. Click on the 'Erase' button.
5. Click on the 'Restore' button (on top). Drag the old drive into the 'Source' field and the new drive into the 'Destination' field. Click on the 'Restore' button on the bottom right hand corner.
Depending upon the amount of data you are transferring, this may take a couple hours or more. A Firewire will speed up the transfer. This will result in both drives having identical information on them. INSTALLING
6. After the data transfer has completed, you may swap the drives. Start the MBP and you have finished the installation. The initial boot may take a bit longer than you are accustomed to, but that is normal.
7. When you are satisfied that the new hard drive if functioning properly, you can erase the old drive and use it for any needs that you may have.

How can I import playlists, ratings, and play counts from an old iTunes library into a new one?

After reading countless threads re: how to get the iTunes artwork screensaver to work, I decided to delete my iTunes library file and reimport all of music which resulted in fixing the iTunes artwork screensaver. Unfortunately (and expectedly), my playlists, playcounts, and other information were lost with the creation of a new library. Is there any way to import the playlists, ratings and play counts for my music from an old library file to my current one? I realize this may be complex, but I'm up for the task.
Thanks in advance,
B

I can't begin to describe how frustrating the screensaver issue has been for me (and I suspect countless others, judging by the number of threads on the topic).
I took your advice, though, just to test it. After backing up my current library.itl, I copied and pasted the old .itl file into its place. As expected the playlists, play counts, etc were instantly restored. And now the screensaver fails to work with the dreaded error 'No iTunes artwork found' which makes me think it IS an issue with the old library file. The only work around I've seen so far is to rebuild the library (which I did).
I'm afraid I'm going to be forced into choosing either a working screen saver or all my itunes data. Very frustrating indeed.
Here's a link to the 'definitive' fix for the screensaver, if you're interested.

How can I remove my old apple id from iTunes and put the new one in?

Morning all, how can I remove my old apple Id from my I tunes account and replace it with the new apple ID, ?
Many thanks
Kimber. Lee

Sign out of iTunes and sign in with the new ID. On your computer, under on of the iTunes menus, on your iPad Settings > iTunes and App Stores and tap on the Apple ID.
Note that all apps downloaded under the previous ID are locked to that ID, and you will have to sign back onto it for any updates.

How do I transfer all tunes(only some appear in the imovie 11 itunes library) in my itunes library into the new iMovie itunes library? How do I restore all the music (not all added from imovie 9) play in my videos transferred from imovie 9 into iMovie 11?

How do I recover the many imovie 9 projects that did not transfer from imovie 9 into imovie 11? How do I make all of my itunes library accessible to the itunes library in imovie 11. How do I recover those music audio tracks lost in the transfer from imovie 9 projects into imovie 11? How do I add music from my itunes library into imovie 11 projects. Some do and others cannot.

for purchases from the iTunes store do this:
connect your device and right-click or control-click it in the iTunes Source list, then choose transfer purchases from the shortcut menu that appears.
for everything else check out this post by Zevoneer.

Can iTunes convert a file and replace the old file with the new one?

I am trying to convert my wav files to Apple Lossless to save some space. How can I convert the files and make them replace the old files? Right now it just converts new files so that I end up with two files. I have thousands I want to convert and just replace the old ones.
I have an external program that will do it for me, however if I go that route then when my ITunes files are converted to lossless files I need to re-link the files as they show up with the ! showing they are missing. That would mean manually re-linking every song, which would take forever unless there is a way to mass re-link all the files.

iTunes does not see the newly created files as the same file because they are not the same file. They are new, different files. If you have a track that is 1234.wav and you create 1234.mp3 it simply isn't the same file and you can't trick iTunes into thinking it is. iTunes will handle it as a brand new file.
Check Dougscripts web site for scripts which help modifying tag data. However, I suspect you won't find any doing exactly what you want doing. Some tag data are only accessible by iTunes itself.
As for playlists, there's things you can try though they may be more effort than they are worth. For example, you could add a special code for each playlist to some element of a tag (e.g., grouping). Convert the file, then make a smart playlist selecting for the code you added to the group of tracks in the old playlist. If you have hundreds of playlists with a dozen tracks each this will be a grand nuisance. If it is a handful of playlists with hundreds of tracks each this might be worth it.
Another way to preserve playlists would be to edit the .xml copy of the iTunes library file, replacing ".wav" with ".mp3" or whatever format you are using. However, this won't help with play counts because that is only stored in the .itl copy of the file which you cannot edit.

I can't import files into the new iTunes 11. Why?

Since downloading the new iTunes 11, required for the new iOS 7, I can no longer import files into my iTunes library.
When dragging and dropping the files, nothing happens.
When importing them via the iTunes menu. Nothing happens.
I've tried adding them to the iTunes folder "automatically add to iTunes library". Nothing happened.
I've had the new iTunes for one day, and it doesn't work.
Can somebody please help me?!

Sorted. Sorry.
The files did not have album name / artist name etc... etc.... Had to find them and type them manually.

Copying client machine files into the Server BY Using APPLET

Hi there,
I created an applet which is DRAG and DROP enabled. In this applet content page i am dropping some file and trying to copy the same files in to the server. But when i am trying to save the files my code is saving the files in clients machine.
I thought we are embedding the applet in a browser and the applet is running in clients machine, so for the applet SERVER is the local machine and if we create any files then they will be created in SERVER machine.
But here the files are going to be saved in clients machine.
I SIGNED THE APPLET TO ACCESS THE CLIENT MACHINE FILES TO DRAG AND DROP INTO MY APPLET. THAT IS NOT A PROBLEM , BUT COPYING THE FILES FROM CLIENT MACHINE TO SERVER HAS BECOME A BIG PROBLEM
please any body can help in this regards?
THANKS IN ADVANCE.
batta

I cannot see how you will copy files From the Applet to the Server.
The only method I know to transfer data from a Java-Applet-Client to a Server and back is with the named method "HTTP-Tunneling".
This means your, your applet made a connection e.q with a Java-Servlet wich resides on a Web-Server.
This Servlet than can write to the Server-Filesystem and respond to the Applet.
May be you can reach a Server with PHP, but I have not yet experience with this (I did not found anything about Servlet-Response to the Applet).

Is it possible to transfer songs from a separate iTunes account into a new one?

I have a lot of songs saved on my Dad's mac under his apple ID. I'd like to transfer the songs I've purchased/imported on his computer onto mine. Is this possible through possibly the iCloud? I'd like to avoid having to burn them all to a disc or what have you.

If the use the same Apple ID/iTunes account they can share the iTunes purchases.
If the Rahapsody songs are regular, non-DRM/Copy protected the just import them into your iTunes library and then sync
