Migrate from iTunes to Pono world

Currently I use Yosemity with the latest version of iTunes on my Desktop (Mac Pro) at home. iTunes to me is merely a piece of software to manage my music files which are stored on an external NAS.
Now Apple stopped making the iPod classic and still does not have a high-res audio solution I bought a Pono player, which has its own pice of software called Pono World.
Would it be easy to switch from iTunes to Pono World, keeping al my NAS-stored music files in the same location? The current iTunes music folder has been indexed by a uPnP server on the NAS as well, so my uPnP players can access these files too.

Just click and drag the music from your music library into the itunes interface. iTunes will import your music for you.
(If you have alot of music, May I recommend you do small amouts at a time)

  • Hundreds of Books disappeared during migration from iTunes to iBooks. Where are they?

    After the Mavericks upgrade, I tried to access my iBook library (containing hundreds of EPUB and PDF books, almost all of which weren't purchased from Apple) via iTunes.
    I got the message to import them via iBooks (v 1.0). I did so, and all but two books disappeared. I was told by an Apple Genius that a fix was in the works. So I waited.
    I installed iBooks 1.0.1, and redid the "Move Books from iTunes". None of my books were found - they'd all been removed from iTunes by the broken version of iBooks.
    So where did iBooks 1.0 put my books? How can I get them back?
    Thanks in advance for any suggestions.

    They may well be lost.
    I had the same, the whole snyc process over to iBooks did not work at all. Apple keeping quiet about it, because its such a major screw-up.
    Luckily enough, I had a backup of all my pdf-books, so I imported them manually to iBooks. Some people suggested the books may be buried somewehre deep in your iTunes music library.  Well, they certianly weren't over here.
    A true mess, and fully consistent with the recent f*** ups in iPhoto  (library sharing via Wifi has disappeared) and the much talked about missing features in Pages and Numbers (never used those cripples anyway as I need to do serious word porcessing and calculating, so these "kids-apps" are no alternative to Word and Excel)

  • Migrating from itunes on windows to itunes on a MAC

    Hi,
    I currently have about 110 Gbytes of disk space assigned to iTunes on a windoze XP system. I'd like to move over to using a G5 that i've just bought.
    What's the best way of doing it?
    This is what I've tried so far:-
    1). Set up an NFS mount between the windows machine and the G5
    2). Created a new itunes setup on the G5
    3). Tried to add to the library on the G5 by specifying the nfs mount point.
    While I can get to the directory, i get an error message saying that it cannot find a library.xml file ( or itunes library.xml file, can't remember which)
    Next attempt was to create a temporary directory on the G% and perform a copy that traverses directories from the NFS mount point (/mnt/shared/xp_itunes) to a temporary directory.
    Problem here was that when i riped off my CDs into the windows version of iTunes, there were a lot of album or track names with non ASCII characters. When you try and use the cp command, it bleats about them and skips the copy.
    Next attempt was to use tar to generate a single (tar) file with the whole directory structure in there. It doesn't like the non standard characters either.
    While i could back up itunes to 11 DBDs or so and then try and then restore them onto the G5, is there another way?
    TIA
    Alex
    G5 quad core,mac mini   Mac OS X (10.4.10)  

    fixed it myself.
    nfs mounted the windows disk directory and managed to import the music.

  • After migration from MBP to MBA I can no longer add to my iTunes library

    I just did what appeared to be a flawless migration from MacBook Pro to MacBook Air. All except for iTunes. I've searched here this site for a solution, tried various fixes, and nothing seems to work so far. Here's what happens:
    iTunes works in all respects. All my files are still there, I can still sync to my iPhone, all of that. But if I do anything that requires writing music to the iTunes folders/database (such as adding an MP3 to the library or consolidating the library), I get an error "Attempting to copy to the disk "Macintosh HD" failed. You do not have enough privileges for this operation". I have tried changing the permissions for all of the iTunes music folders, including finally giving read/write access to "everyone". However, this error message refuses to go away.
    Does anyone have any ideas how I can fix this?!
    Many thanks,
    Howard

    Since migrating from Windows 7 to Windows 8 and upgrading to iTunes 11, the latter has frozen while syncing my devices, usually while at the “determining apps to sync” stage of the process.  If I am attempting to download app updates before attempting to sync, the problem normally occurs at the first “installing app x” stage.  In addition, the whole iTunes experience is extremely sluggish and will even freeze while searching for a track.  Everything worked fine on Windows 7.  So far, I have repaired the program several times and have checked for compatibility issues, but there is no Windows 8 option in the combo box, obtained after right-clicking the icon and selecting Properties/Compatibility.  As a result, I am unable to sync my devices. If I uninstall iTunes before re-installing, will this affect my iTunes libraries?  Does anyone have any suggestions?

    After going by elimination to isolate if the problem was from (1) iTunes app, (2) my computer or (3) my old iPhone 4G, I figured out what my problem was.
    1) First I deleted & reinstalled iTunes on my Windows PC without succes, my playlist did not changed on my iPhone.
    2) I tested a successful #sync from the iMac at work.
    So my conclusion is: The hard drive on my Windows PC is full and that is affecting iTunes SYNC functionalities.
    So I'll do a back-up then run a "Clean Install" of my Windows OS, hoping that it will fix my SYNC problems.

  • No cover anymore after migration from Windows XP Itunes to Mac Itunes

    I've migrated from my poor old PC laptop to my beautifull new Mac Pro. It was very easy with the media (they were all in an external hard disk) and the playlists through an USB key but I cannot find my covers (about 300 albums). What can I do ? Thank for your help.

    Yes I transferred the artwork folder in the Itune folder such as it was in the windows configuration but I'm not sure I must keep this structure for the mac. Apparently no link can work between this former folder and the albums. As regard "advanced menu > get artwork" I think it's to recover some covers directly fron a database on the net - not from my own data.

  • Whats the easiest way to migrate my itunes data from old failing PC to new PC so I can sync on new PC?

    I have a failing PC that I sync my Ipad and Iphone to now. I have a new PC that I want to start using for this function. How do I migrate my Itunes Data Etc...so that I can sync on the new PC and not lose my apps, music, pics etc....There has to be a simple-stupid way of doing this. I have already downloaded Itunes on the new PC and just waiting for an answer to go forward.

    These are two possible approaches that will normally work to move an existing library to a new computer.
    Method 1
    Backup the library with this User Tip.
    Deauthorize the old computer if you no longer want to access protected content on it.
    Restore the backup to your new computer using the same tool used to back it up.
    Keep your backup up-to-date in future.
    Method 2
    Connect the two computers to the same network. Share your <User's Music> folder from the old computer and copy the entire iTunes library folder into the <User's Music> folder on the new one. Again, deauthorize the old computer if no longer required.
    Both methods should give the new computer a working clone of the library that was on the old one. As far as iTunes is concerned this is still the "home" library for your devices so you shouldn't have any issues with iTunes wanting to erase and reload.
    I'd recommend method 1 since it establishes an ongoing backup for your library.
    If you have an iOS device that syncs with contact & calendar data on your computer you should migrate this information too. If that isn't possible create a dummy entry of each type in your new profile and iTunes should offer to merge the existing data from the device into the computer, otherwise the danger is that it will wipe the information from the device.
    If your media folder has been split out from the main iTunes folder you may need to do some preparatory work to make it easier to move. See make a split library portable.
    Should you be in the unfortunate position where you are no longer able to access your original library, or a backup of it, then see Recover your iTunes library from your iPod or iOS device for advice on how to set up your devices with a new library with the maximum preservation of data.

  • Itunes migration from old XP PC to new Vista PC - whilst retaining content

    Hi there,
    I've just received a new laptop, and I'm performing the tiresome migration of data from one machine (running XP and itunes 7.5.0.20) to another (running Vista Basic and itunes 7.6.1.9). Incidentally, I do not have any purchased music on my iTunes.
    I have perfomed a manual migration of the data and itunes' music store (My Music/iTunes/iTunes Music, and have re-imported the new folder into itunes which appears to be sucessful, i.e. I can see and play "all" my music from iTunes.
    My questions are:
    It appears to of lost all my old podcasts.
    It also appears to be filling any new podcasts no into the podcast directory (god know where it is now putting them).
    It has also lost my playlists.
    Does anybody know if there is a slicker (and less manual) process to seemlessly migrate iTunes from one machine to another, and for your ipod not to have an issue with it?
    Many thanks in advance
    Cheers
    Chris

    I found a solution using help from another forum...so I'll post it...hopefully other people can use it:
    1. I copied my "Adam's Folder\Music" folder into "iTunes\iTunes Music" on my XP PC, and then I changed the library location to that location under prefrences>advanced.
    2. I then copied the entire "My Music\iTunes"(including the Music folder I just added to it) folder from my XP PC over the "Music\iTunes" folder on my Vista PC. Then I changed the library location to "Music\iTunes\iTunes Music\Music" location under preferences>advanced.
    3. I then, on my Vista PC, copied the "iTunes Music\Music" folder to "Adam's Folder\Music", and changed the library location to that under preferences>advanced.
    done!
    iTunes found the files, and all the Library Data(Date Added, Playcounts, etc.) is there as well! All while not having iTunes manage my music, and keeping music on the same relative folder on my new vista PC(Desktop\Adam's Folder\Music).

  • Cannot open iTunes or Aperture after "Migrating" from old Mac

    I migrated from an old "Black" MacBook to a new Aluminum MacBook using Migration Assistant. Now both iTunes and Aperture will not open on the new MacBook because they cannot open up their respective libraries. The following message appears:
    "The iTunes Library file is locked, on a locked disk, or you do not have write permission for this file."
    "The Aperture Library file is locked, on a locked disk, or you do not have write permission for this file."
    I did run into an issue when migrating when I used the same account name on the new computer as the old. It asked me to rename the old account which I did by appending with the number 1. The Migration Assistant put all the files into a new folder with the renamed account under "users". Not only this, all the folders and files lacked permissions for the new computer. I had to manually "Get Info" and add permissions for the new account on the new computer.

    Go to /Music/ and get info on the iTunes folder.
    Go to the *Ownership & Permissions* and set *You can* to *Read & Write*.
    Also, click on *Apply to enclosed items*.
    Do the same for the Aperature folder wherever it is located.

  • Migrating my Itunes Library from An External Harddrive to a NAS

    I have a 20" IMAC and currently store my 350 GB Itunes library with roughly 6400 tracks on a 1 TB external Harddrive. I just purchased a 5 TB Network Attached Server that is attached to my wireless network. What is the best and fastest way to migrate my Itunes library from my external harddrive to my NAS? I am concerned that if I do it over my wireless connection it will take forever. I am also concerned that Itunes will get confused in trying to locate the files on the NAS. I have successfully used the consolidate library function in the past but am worried that it will not work with a NAS over a wireless connection. Should I try using a direct ethernet connection with the NAS hooked directly into my IMAC and then re-connect the NAS to my router? I would appreciate any advice. Thanks.
