Mac, PC, and moving music...

Hi. I'm sure that has been answered before and I am sorry. I have two computers, one PC and my iBook. I was wondering if there was a way for me to take my music off my PC and but it on my iBook by using my iPod. Thanks!

you can enable your iPod for hard disk use. then store your music in a file. otherwise you will need some software that allows you take music from the iPod. the first idea works better.

Have music files from a windows PC and put them on a usb drive. how do I transfer them to the mac mini and iTunes?

Bought a mac mini and have music files from my old windows PC on a USB drive. need to know how to transfer all the music from the USB drive to itunes so I can sync them with my new ipod.

Choose Computer from the Finder's Go menu, double-click the icon for that drive, locate the song files, drag them to any location inside the Home entry, open iTunes, and drag them from there into it.

Compatability between MAC OS and Win XP & iPod

Hi there!
This is maybe a rookie mistake but - I have uploaded music to my iPod sucessfuly using Windows XP/iTunes and it works fine. However I have since connected my iPod to a Mac laptop and uploaded music to my iPod from I-Tunes on there, I know the music is on there as the memory has been used up.
The problem arises when I reconnect my iPod to my PC, it doesn't show the music I uploaded from the Mac as being present. Likewise when I scroll through the iPod's menus (not via the PC).
Can any of you help me out here so that I can listen to the music I have uploaded from the Mac laptop!?
Many Thanks In Anticipation!

No, mp3 and m4a songs can coexist peacefully on the iPod.
If your iPod is on automatic update, when you reconnect the iPod to your PC after loading songs from the Mac, it will ask you whether you want to update. If you answer yes the songs from the Mac will be replaced with the songs from the PC.
To load songs on the iPod from more than 1 computer, check this:

Mac Mail and Outlook 2007

Hi,
Perhaps this has been asked and answered already, but I browsed the forums and couldn't find the answer so my apologies if I missed it.
I recently purchased a PC with Windows 7. I opened up Outlook 2007 and configured my email by typing in my mac mail address and password. I figured that it would just duplicate my email in my mac mail. However, it took all my mac mail and moved it to outlook on my new PC.
I prefer mac mail as I have it sent directly to my iphone for convenience, but I don't mind using Outlook as well.
First of all: Is there a way to get all my mail back to my macbook?
Second: Is there a way I can have the best of both worlds and have Outlook 2007 and Mac Mail sync together?
Thank you for any help or direction on where I can find the answer to my questions.

I've tried everything and still not found a solution too.
I am unable to work remotely.

Pull down File > Add to Library, navigate to the iTunes folder and click "open." This will add all the music to the new iTunes library.

I just purchased a mac air and cannot figure out how to get my pictures from my toshiba windows to the air into iphoto and I also cannot get my library of music and apps to get to the mac air as well. Each time I try to synch it tells me it will repace my ipad and iphone with the blank library from the new air. How do I get my music, apps and photos to the air. I just subscribed to imatch and it charged me and only has 600 of my 2,000 songs!

You must move your photos and music from your Toshiba to your MBA directly, not using the iPhone. The Migration Assistant app on your Mac will help.

Moving music and Photos back to my Mac

Please forgive if this appears to be a rather simple question but my mac crashed and I had to reinstall OSX Tiger and now I have lost my Iphotos and Itunes libraries. They are both on my Ipod Nano and my screen is failing fast on my Nano so I have to send it in for servicing.
Question is, how do I get my content back onto my Mac from my Nano?

Mr_Spock:
Welcome to the Apple Discussions. You'd be best served by posting that question in the appropriate iPod forum. I don't use my iPod enough to help your and I'm sure there will be many more power users there regarding the iPods and retrieving photos and music.
Do you Twango?
TIP: For insurance against the iPhoto database corruption that many users have experienced I recommend making a backup copy of the Library6.iPhoto database file and keep it current. If problems crop up where iPhoto suddenly can't see any photos or thinks there are no photos in the library, replacing the working Library6.iPhoto file with the backup will often get the library back. By keeping it current I mean backup after each import and/or any serious editing or work on books, slideshows, calendars, cards, etc. That insures that if a problem pops up and you do need to replace the database file, you'll retain all those efforts. It doesn't take long to make the backup and it's good insurance.

My wife and i both have an itunes library installed on to our separate pc's, we are now de-commissioning the pc's and are moving over to a single mac mini, can we install both libraries on to the mac mini and run them as separate libraries?

Generally YES.
It's possible to hold separate iTunes library's on a single machine.
Generate two new folders inside the Music folder of the Mini and name them differently; e.g. man and woman.
Copy your whole library into "man" and your wifes into "woman"
Go to sharing in the system settings of the Mini and share the Music folder in your network.
After copying the whole library's to the Mini you may point iTunes to the new location at startup by holding the option key (alt) at the keyboard.
iTunes will then ask you where the library is located.
Point it to the matching library on the Mini.
That's all.

PS ... If you both use only the Mini you have to setup a user account for each and just copy the whole library to the Music folder in particular.

Easy for them that know, how do i move pics and/or music to mac from pc

Yeah i am a switcher as of yesterday, i am trying not to break anything on my expensive Mac, I have succesfully moved all my email folders etc. by simply putting the relevant files on a memory card and dragging them to the Mail icon on the "dock"
So now i have progressed onto Photos and Music files, i am putting all of these onto my memory card, the only thing i am not sure of, forgive me for being a bit wary, where do i drag the photos and/or music to ?
It might be the iTunes icon, not too sure, as i cant believe that just by dragging the files to the iTunes icon, whether they be music files or photo files, iTunes will sort them all out for me without the program even being open.
I was very pleased that Mail in fact DID do this perfectly OK when i dragged a load of MBOX folders onto the Mail icon.
I suppose i just need confirmation as i am sure that is what i have to do, i know how important iTunes is to the Mac enviroment that i darent open it LOL.

I've updated to the most recent version of iTunes and I can no longer see any of my old music on my mac. All the music is still available on my ipad. How can i download the music on my mac?

First, are you positive it is really not there? Have you looked in your iTunes folder in your Music folder, and in the media folders there? Do you see your media files?
If your media are gone it is a lot easier to restore from a proper computer backup. Your i-device was not designed for unique storage of your media. It is not a backup device and media transfer was planned with you maintaining a master copy of your media on a computer which is itself properly backed up against loss. Syncing is one way, computer to device, updating the device content to the content on the computer, not updating or restoring content on a computer. The exception is iTunes Store purchases which can be transferred to a computer.

For transferring other items from an i-device to a computer you will have to use third party commercial software. See this document by turingtest2: Recovering your iTunes library from your iPod or iOS device - https://discussions.apple.com/docs/DOC-3991

My storage is mostly full of a category labeled "other." I'm out of memory to the extent that it won't even allow me to update apps. I have moved all photos over to my computer and my music streams through the cloud. Any advice on how to fix this problem?

I bought a new laptop and used Windows Easy Transfer cable and moved all files from one computer to another. I installed iTunes and found my iTunes music Library. However, when I plug in my iPod it says it is already synced with another iTunes Library.

I don't see anything in Help that shows when you already have transfered all the files over. Why would it want to erase and sync when I already have all the music folder copied over? I didn't have an issue when I had another technician copy from one laptop to another. Home sharing is also on but not being recognized.

I suspect you only migrated the media folder instead of the complete working library. Either review the transfer process and copy over the entire iTunes folder from your old profile's music folder or see Recovering your iTunes library from your iPod or iOS device.
