Move rented movie from external disk to internal disk

While at home, my iTunes library is located on an external USB drive. I've rented a movie while the disk was attached and of course it was downloaded to the external disk. But now I'd like to leave the house and watch that movie on the road. Is it possible to move the file somewhere on my internal disk and how would I let iTunes know of the new location? This seems to be a situation that many laptop users would find themselves in at some point... any solution/ideas?

I understand that it is because I rented. I just thought I would be able to transfer. I never intended to watch the movie on the laptop. I just wanted to rent it from there.
There are lots of possibilities for transferring rented material from Computer to iPod to AppleTV and back.... Just not from computer to computers.
I won't make an impulse "rental" on my laptop ever again. Too bad, since I use it more than the iMac.

HT1660 move iTunes library from external drive to internal drive

I had to move my iTunes library from my internal hard disk to an external one so that they could replace the recalled hard drive on my iMac. Is moving the library back to the internal drive as easy as dragging it into the Music/iTunes folder?

iTunes: How to move [or copy] your music [library] to a new computer [or another drive] - http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4527 - a somewhat bewildering and not always easily understandable set of options.
Quick answer if you use iTunes' default preferences settings: Copy the entire iTunes folder (and in doing so all its subfolders and files) intact to the other drive. Open iTunes and immediately hold down the Option (alt) key (shift on Windows), then guide it to the new location of the library.itl file in the moved iTunes folder.

Move iTunes library from external disk to internal disk

Hello,
I am currently using a Mac Mini with an external disk to store my iTunes library as well as all the media files, apps, etc. The library is managed (consolidated) by iTunes and is also organized by iTunes.
I am about to buy the new Macbook Pro and with a 1 TB drive, I wanted to move the iTunes stuff (library, media, playlists, play counts, ratings, everything) to the internal drive of the new MBP.
My questions are:
Can I do this migration (from external disk to internal disk of new Mac) as part of the Migration Assistant?
In case I can't do the above, what is the best way to do this after the new Mac has been set up?
How do I ensure that play counts, playlists, ratings, album art are preserved as I have spent considerable time setting those up?
I have 3-4 IOS devices syncing to this library. How do I ensure that when I sync them to the new computer/library, they will continue to work?
Thanks in advance.

Hi,
1. See if this support answers your query http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4889 and http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4527
3. Make sure complete intune folder is copied over. The Itunes Library.itl file contains all meta data.
4. Maybe someone else can make a definitive comment on this. I used migration assistant and was able to sync my ipad and ipod classic without doing anything special. I presume that it worked because both were syncing to the same library albeit on a different computer.

Moving my Lightroom installation from an external to an internal disk

I was having hard disk capacity issues so have been running Lightroom on an external USB drive - and it's been working fine. But I am installing a new drive internal to my machine in the coming days. How can I move Lightroom from the external drive, along with the Lightroom catalog, to the new drive? Do I need to uninstall and then reinstall? I want to be sure that I don't lose my settings or, of course, the catalog!
By the way, I still have an old Lightroom Library from the first version. So, I have this folder setup:
Lightroom Library folder
Lightroom Database.lrdb (old database file)
Lightroom Catalog folder (folder)
Lightroom Previews.lrdata (old folder)
Can I simply move the Lightroom Catalog folder to the new disk and delete the old database file and old previews folder? Finally, I routinely archive Lightroom Catalog.lrcat but not as frequently the growing Lightroom Catalog Previews.lrdata - I assume that it would be rebuilt if needed after a crash, no? Thanks!

Thanks. I do want to bring over all my presets and settings. If I install anew, won't I lose all of that? Also, I am not at 1.3.1 - can I install the newest version on the new disk and then safely import all my data and settings? Below is what I think I can do - am I right? Thanks!
Dilip
[EXTERNAL DRIVE Z:, NEW INTERNAL C:]
Install 1.3.1 on my C: drive (I assume that once I give it my valid key, it will work even though it's not installing over an existing installation)
Run Lightroom from C: [how to copy over my preferences and presets?] - it will not see any catalogs, so let it create a new catalog on C:
Import from Catalog - just point to z:\Lightroom Catalog.lrcat - I assume that a c:\Lightroom Catalog.lrcat will then be built that would be identical to the one on the Z: drive (would it be faster to just copy the .lrcat over and then open that catalog? also, I have several GB of previews -- would previews not take a long time to be rebuilt, or could I copy those over, too?)

Move rented movie from one computer to another.

I rented a movie on my laptop, but now want to watch it on a different computer. Is it possible to do so, or do I have to watch on the laptop?

Unable to move rented movies from iPhone4 to iTunes

Hello,
I am looking for some advice. I rented a movie on my iPhone4. I have not watched this movie yet.
I'd like to move the movie from my iPhone to AppleTV.
When I sync my iPhone, the rented movies do not appear in the movies tab within iTunes.
Sync movies is checked and the capacity bar at the bottom of the screen says I have 2 videos. I was exoecting the movies on my phone to be listed in the movies tab.
Please help!
Thanks!

On iPhone 3G and iPhone 3GS, you can transfer rented movies between iPhone and your computer. On iPhone 4, you can transfer rented movies between iPhone and your computer only if they were rented in iTunes on your computer. Movies rented on iPhone 4 cannot be transferred to a computer.
You don't list what version of the iPhone you have.

Can't move rented movies from iTunes to AppleTV

I have a rented movie queue in my iTunes library and would like to watch it on my AppleTV. Can't seem to figure out how to move it? Running iTunes under Windows XP. Thanks.

For now, this is correct. There will be an update to the Apple TV within the next week which will allow it to play rented content as well as rent it natively.

How to move rented movie to iPad?

I have moved a rented movie via the movie tab in Itunes, the movie moves to the Ipad window frame, yet it is not appearing on my Ipad. I am connected to the internet. Does anyone have any hints? Thank you,

You can't if you rented and downloaded it directly on the iPad - from http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1415 :
You can move the rental between devices as many times as you wish during the rental period. However, the movie can only be played on one device at a time. If you rent a movie on an iPhone, iPad, iPod touch, or Apple TV, it is not transferable to any other device and you must watch it on that device.

Can't Move rented movies Macbook to iPod Touch

Rented 2 Movies from iTunes. Downloaded both to Macbook. Syncing iPod touch to Macbook, selected Move the movies to iPod. Received error message Cannot move movies to iPod because they are in an unsupported format. Very Odd since they came from iTunes store and I have done this dozens of times before. An older movie that i had ripped did transfer ok. Movies are MPEG-4, rented "Protected MPEG-4". I am traveling and would like to have these movies on my iPod.

Itunes support answered the question. It happens that my version of iPod touch won't support the HD format. Had I rented the movie in SD i would have been able to complete the transfer

HT1848 How to move rented movie to my iPad remotely?

How to remotely transfer rented movie to my iPad?

Not if you rented and downloaded it on your iPad, you can only watch it on that - from http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1657 :
If you download a rented movie on your computer: You can transfer it to a device such as your Apple TV (1st generation), iPhone, iPad, or iPod if it’s a standard-definition film (movies in HD can only be watched on your computer, iPad, iPhone 4 or later, iPod touch (4th generation or later), or Apple TV). Once you move the movie from your computer to a device, the movie will disappear from your computer's iTunes library. You can move the movie between devices as many times as you wish during the rental period, but the movie can only exist on one device at a time.
If you download a rented movie on your iPhone 4 or later, iPad, iPod touch (4th generation or later), or Apple TV: It is not transferable to any other device or computer.
Why it's like that I don't know

Migrating Services From External ITS to Internal ITS

Hi All,
We are migrating from External ITS 2.0 (SAP R/3 4.6B) to Internal ITS 6.0 (SAP ECC 6). Can anyone tell me on how to migrate services which are there in External ITS to Internal ITS, so that the same External ITS services are visible in SICF or SE80 Transaction.
Thanks and Regards In Advance,
Sidhartha Chatterjee

Hi Sidhartha,
As Klaus recommend, you should start with help.sap.com.
I would also suggest doing a search in this forum, for similar threads like your. There are many of them, with good links and tips.
I think a very good practical start to understanding the internal ITS is to read Durairaj Raja's excellent webblog, "Running your first ITS WebGUI application in SAP Netweaver 04 ABAP Edition", /people/durairaj.athavanraja/blog/2005/08/21/running-your-first-its-webgui-application-in-sap-netweaver-04-abap-edition--nsp

Move Users folders from external drive to a new internal drive

Hi All,
I have a white Intel iMac running Snow Leopard. I have kept the Users folder (4 users) on an external hard disk (too many photos and movies). The internal hard disk recently died, but since all user data was on the external, I wasn't too worried.
The iMac now has a new hard disk, and I've installed the system back, starting from the original System Install DVD so that all the iApps are also reinstalled.
What I want to do now is to move the user folders to the internal drive, and use the external for backups. It seems that I can't use Migration Assistant because it only works when moving data from another Mac or another startup drive. I've looked around the forums and on the web, and the only thing I found was a post on TUAW in which the writer talked about eventually having to do this but without giving much info about how to do it (http://www.tuaw.com/2009/05/14/tuaw-tip-moving-your-home-folder-to-another-disk- or-moving-it).
Does anyone have any experience moving the user folders from an external drive to an internal drive, (or even just having a Mac recognize user folders on an external drive from another machine)?

Correct. As it clearly states, there are too many variables to have detailed solutions for every possible situation.
In the 'pink' box, which best matches my situation, the instructions begin with: "•You must be logged on to the account being moved...".
That's not clear at all. How do I log in to an account that doesn't exist yet? Connecting a hard disk that has a home folder to a new Mac doesn't allow me to 'log on' to that home folder's account, because it doesn't yet exist on the new Mac.
You may have to set up user accounts "from scratch." Then change the ownership and permissions on the old home folders so you can copy the contents of the sub-folders from the old home folders to the new ones.
If you're comfortable with permissions and Terminal, this may help: http://reviews.cnet.com/8301-13727_7-20013630-263.html

ITunes 11 won't import .mov video files from external hard drive but will from internal.

Hi Everyone
I'm having a problem with iTunes 11.0.1. I can't import .mov video files stored on an external hard drive. I can however import .m4v files from the same external drive. Using either the add to library option or dragging files from the finder.
I can add .mov files from the internal though. Strange I know.
The reason behind this posting is that I'm using iFlicks to convert my TV and movies from my external drive for Apple TV and add all relevent meta data, keeping the files on the external drive and having iTunes link to them.
I would like to be able to simply create a general iTune compatiable file using iFlicks which only takes a minute or two per file to convert. I'm currently converting them to .m4v just for the sack of being able to import them into iTunes from an external drive takes 45 minutes per file.
Has anybody else had this problem? Any ideas on a fix to allow me to import .mov files from an external drive into iTunes without copying it to the iTune library file.
Many Thanks
Dave

This might be worth a shot - basically seeing if Vista permissions could be the culprit.
Give yourself FULL control and ownership of the exHD, let's call it M:
How to Take Ownership and Grant Permissions in Windows Vista
Take control of the top level folder and ALL subfolders.
Try creating a new blank ITL file on M: by pressing *and holding* the shift key while itunes starts. See if you can add everything again.
