Moving from one pc to another

is there aeasy way of moving all playlists and downloaded records etc from a old pc to a new one without using CD or DVD writers etc

Sorry, "OS" is the Operating System.
What you are trying to do needs to be accomplished in two separate operations. First, and most time consuming, is moving 3500 music files to another computer. For this I'm afraid there is no quick way, but the methods available are all fairly easy. From most to least convenient;
1. If you have an external hard drive (USB), transfer to the music files then "sneaker net" (physically move the hdd to the new computer) them over to your new computer. If you do not have an external hdd, you can pick up a 250G USB external drive for about CDN$100.
2. If your home network allows both computers to be connected to the same network, ie you have a router or switch, you can use the "File & Setting Transfer" utility in Windows. Instructions available in Windows help.
2b. Rather than use the wizard, you can just straight copy the files using "drag and drop". Very time consuming.
3. If your home network does not allow this, you can do the same thing using a "cross over" cable to connect your two computers together via the network connection.
4. Remove the hard drive from your old computer and install it on the secondary IDE channel. This assumes that both computers use the same ATA type; IDE, EIDE or SATA. From there, you just copy the files over. This solution requires a fair bit of tech knowledge.
As for moving your playlists, that is really easy. Use the "Export Library" option in iTunes. Complete instructions available in the Help files.
Of course, there is a REEEEEALLY easy way to do it. Bring both computers to the Apple store (or local tekky shop) or to a tech savvy friend, and let them do it all for you.
Hope this helps. Happy New Year.

  • HT1349 I have just moved from one pc to another.  I had used 5 computers to attach to itunes.  I went in and disabled all 5 of my accounts but cant get the new computer to give me a prompt to authorize this computer.  Any ideas?

    Hellow everyone,
    I have just moved from one PC to another.  They are windows pc's not macintosh.  When i installed itunes on the new computer it stated that I already had 5 devices authrorized for this account.  I did a little reading and went in and deathorized all 5 PC from the account as I am sure it was a couple pcs ago and a few iphones.   When I try and go in and authorize an account I cant see anywhere where there is a prompt to authorize the new PC.  I go into store and all it says is that there are no devices associated to this account.  What I would like to do is associate my new PC and my iphone to this account and hopefully restore from the cloud all of my music and programs. 
    Any idea what I am doing wrong here or how I can resolve this. Thanks in advance.
    Respectully.

    if it's music then drm is not used there any more and drm can be removed from previously bought drm material without cost

  • DATAGRID FOCUS ISSUE: Focus got lost, while moving from one cell to another cell using tab key.

    Problem: Focus got lost, while moving from one cell to another cell using tab key.
    Example: In an AdvanceDataGrid, there are three columns having custom ItemRenderer with Spark TextInput control (editable=true & focusEnabled=true).
    When I try to move the focus in with in 2nd, 3rd & 4th column using tab key, focus got lost. Most of the time it’s working, but some time it doesn’t work. There’s no clue as to how may rows/columns the focus has jumped to; or whether the focus has gone out of the data grid altogether.
    Observations: I am not sure whether this problem is because of custom component implementation or it is because of some issue related to Flex Component.
    It only occurs when we perform some actions like some server call, some complex logic execution etc. at the focus out event of itemrenderer.
    There is one property of datagrid i.e. editedItemPosition which contains row & column index of datagrid. On the focus out event, it gets null when focus got lost. We tried to set it, but it didn’t work.
    Steps Performed:-
    1. Currently focus is in 2nd column i.e. Apply to #.
    2. Once I press tab key from 2nd column, it goes to 3rd column which is correct.
    3. Now if I press tab key from 2nd column i.e. Payment #, focus should go to 3rd column, but it goes out of data grid and set the focus of button which is outside data grid.

    Why would you do that, and not on your own computer?  See the hassle it caused you?
    can he just email me the folder
    Backup files are too big to email.  Use FTP, DropBox, etc...
    how do I then put all that data back into my current phone from the new computer?

  • Itunes duplication of songs when moved from one computer to another.

    I moved all my music and itunes from one computer to another. I now have most of my artist that have duplicate songs and sometimes three copies of the same song for some reason. Some artist it didn't affect at all but that is a minority. How can I clean this up without going through every line in my folder and deleting the copies? I have like 25K songs. I hope someone can help.
    Thanks

    Have a look at Teridon's iTunes Scripts. There's a script in there for dealing with duplicates that might be of some help to you: Teridon's iTunes for Windows Scripts

  • Inherit metadata not working when content is moved from one folder to another

    Hi All,
    I have a unique situation for which i would like to know if there is any solution.
    We have WebCenter Content 11.1.1.8.0 installed with Framework folders, Accounts and RoleEntityACL (Access Control List-ACL) enabled.
    We are not using Accounts, but are using ACL since we want the end users to be able to modify the content access permissions.
    Now as per documentation - Managing Content Repositories section 11.2.3.2.1 What You Should Know About Item Level Security
    The following occurs in Oracle Content Server on setting custom permissions for a file or folder from the Item Level Security dialog:
    The account is changed to account WCILS/original_account.
    All users are by default granted RWDA on account WCILS. Changing the account to WCILS/original_account ensures that only the custom permissions determine the security on the content.
    The ACL content metadata fields, xClbraUserList and xClbraRoleList are updated with the custom permissions.
    The content metadata field, xInhibitUpdate is set to true, to prevent ILS from overwriting an item's own custom security with a parent folder's custom permissions.
    Now when i am copying or moving any item from one folder to another folder, it does not inherits the Roles Access Control Lists, User Access Lists of the destination folder in which i am copy the content. It does not inherit the other metadata values like comments and a few more custom metadata value.
    I understand that this is due to the xInhibitUpdate metadata field, mentioned above.
    Is there any way to override the xIhibitUpdate metadata field and set it to false?
    Does anyone know what event is fired when we perform the copy or move of a content item?
    Thank in advance

  • Moving from one iPhone to another

    Hi
    Can you please kindly clear this up for me. I'm reading and clicking around and just getting more confused.
    Recently I moved from an iPhone 3G -> 3GS. I did a back up and used this to restore on to the new phone. Brilliant. Everything was there except my apps and music.
    I put this down to not syncing them on that laptop I used.
    Now I'm expecting an iPhone 4 soon and want to make sure this doesn't happen again. I have gone in to iTunes (10.1 on a Mac Book Air running 10.6.5) but if I click sync on the apps it warns me it will wipe my phone and install what shows in the library - one app I don't even have on the phone. Eek!
    What should I do to ensure my apps get put on to my new phone?
    Thank you
    Shell

    Brilliant. The 'Sync Purchases' step was what I was missing, thank you
    The apps/music were on a different computer I changed from about the same time so I never got around to doing the whole sync thing on there. I did restore from this old computer but it was until I was away from it I realised what had happened with the apps and music! I understood this is what I should have done though to get them back as I know they were all synced on there.
    It all makes sense now so it won't happen again, cheers!
    To be clear for those finding this thread looking for help, if you are planning to move from one iPhone to another:
    1- Before: Do a back up (right click the phone on the left in iTunes and choose backup)
    2- Sync apps etc (right click on the phone on the left in iTunes and choose sync purchases)
    3- On the new phone when iTunes asks, use the backup
    4- After, sync it to get your apps back!

  • Moving from One Mac to Another

    I'm considering selling my 13" Mid-2009 MacBook Pro for a newer 13" i5 MacBook Pro.  It's the first time I've done a transition from one Mac to another and I have a few questions...
    What's the best way to transfer everything over to my new Mac, without having to reinstall certain software?  I'm worried about needing to re-install Logic, Aperture, Final Cut, or CS5, because these discs are packed away in boxes and I can't really get to them right now.  If I have to re-install things like Firefox or OnyX, no big deal there... just looking to backup the Pro applications.
    Can migration assisstant do what I'm looking for, or is there something better for this?  Need some insight on how to handle this.
    Thanks for reading!

    THIS ONE I KNOW!!!
    There's a Migrating your Mac wizard in the "Utilities" folder - when you start the NEW Mac - all you need is a network cable, when PROMPTED - when the new Mac turns on - it asks "are you migrating an existing Mac" (something like that) say YES - at that point, on your other system - you're going to fire up the "migrating your mac" program - which will be on your OLD system.  Once there, the Network cable (Make sure it's compatible with gigbit speeds - this process will take some time!) but the two systems WITHOUT A SWITCH, Without a hub - plugged from one to another, will move EVERYTHING to the new system.
    How?
    You sign on as YOU every time you do anything.  The program simply looks for anything NOT owned by the system - and 100% of your stuff is moved over properly, into the right places

  • ML Automatically sorts files by name when moving from one folder to another.

    Hello, i usually used to move a bunch of files like images or mp3s from one folder to another and in Lion, when moving like 20+ files to another folder, they was being placed where you clicked.
    Seems that in ML when i move the same amount of same files, rather than placing them at the cursor, it just moves them and sorts by name. How to avoid this?

  • Data to be moved from one instance to another

    Hi All,
    I don't have any data administration experience. All i am looking for is a document or process flow on the data movement between 2 oracle 9i instances on UNIX. Suppose there are 2 Oracle 9i instances - A and B. At some point of time, some transaction would come into A and those new/modified/deleted transactions need to be moved to B so that at any point of time both A and B are in sync.
    I want to move the data alone from A to B. Pls note that both the instances will have billions of records and atleast 30-35 K tables. It would be of great help if some one could provide me a link to the document mentioning the approach that can be taken to achieve this.
    Thanks In Advance
    RK

    Ram,
    Yes import/export utilities can do many things. Some of which are outlined below:
    create table structures with no data, no constraints, on grants
    create table structures and include any of the things like constraints, grants, ect
    move data without creating table structures
    move only a select set of data based on query in export
    move the entire database
    move a selected set of users (schemas)
    There are other possibilities depending on your environment. There are transportable tablespaces where basically you can copy the datafiles from one system to another.
    Standby databases which can be either scheduled to have updates, updated in real-time/delayed, they can be logical or physical, they can allow reporting to be offloaded to it rather than be ran against the production database.
    There are many different possibilities depending on the business/user requirements. This topic is very, very complex. If you are new to Oracle I don't think that you can understand all the possibilities unless you do a whole bunch of reading.
    As stated before by someone else, the import/export is probably not the solution you want if the tables are as large as you indicated earlier. Again though it will depend a lot on the requirements, business logic and hardware/software you have available. You probably need to hire an "Oracle expert" for this type of analysis.

  • Moving from one computer to another w/o messing up the iPhone setup

    i want to try and start syncing with a new computer i am about to get without having to wipe the iPhone
    is there anyway that i can move all the relevant files from my old desktop to a new one so that the iTunes playlists and the apps in folders stay as they are now?
    i know it is not just a matter of copying over the iTunes folder, because there must be files in folders like HD & ~/App Support or HD & ~/Pref, and quite possibly more
    but there may also be a problem that the computer number is associated with the syncing, and that it cannot be done
    either way, i want to give it a go, so does anyone know if there is a knowledge base on this, or even an app that would allow me to achieve this task?
    i am fully upto date with the software updates and iOS (with an iPhone 4)
    many thanks

    i know it is not just a matter of copying over the iTunes folder, because there must be files in folders like HD & ~/App Support or HD & ~/Pref, and quite possibly more
    Yes it is, and no there is not.
    I have done this twice in the last year - when switching from a PowerBook to my MacBook Pro, and after the hard drive failed on my MacBook Pro and was replaced under warranty.
    but there may also be a problem that the computer number is associated with the syncing, and that it cannot be done
    This is also incorrect. In regards to iTunes content, an iPhone can be synced with the iTunes library on a single computer only, and photos can be transferred from a single computer only. If you transfer the iTunes folder from your Music folder where all iTunes content is stored including 3rd party apps along with playlists, play count, etc. from one computer to another and you authorize the computer with your iTunes account with iTunes, you can sync your iPhone with the computer the iTunes folder was transferred to without losing any iTunes content on your iPhone and as if you aren't syncing with a different computer.
    The same applies with photos if you are using iPhoto. All you need to do is transfer the iPhoto Library from one Mac to another and nothing will have changed.

  • How Documents or lists moving from one Subsite to another Subsite in sharepoint 2010

    Hi All,
    I have one site, it consists 5 subsite.
    One subsite consists 5 document libraries.
    How to move Doument libraries and lists from one site to another site  in sharepoint 2010.
    Each subsite access by different users.
    Thanks,
    GAK Austin

    Here are few options/ways:
    1) Save the library as template and reuse at another sub sites. Here the permission will be revoked at destination site
    2) Use sitemanager page to move list and libraries. URL owuld be SITEURL/_layouts/sitemanager.aspx . You will have the old permisison at another sub site.
    3) Use Powershell command to have the xeport and import of that library from source to destination
    4) Use Contentdeployment tool. It is free from codeplex

  • Preventing SO moved from one PC to another

    I have an application that needs to store a "key" on a
    specific PC and it's important that the user can't simply move a
    Shared Object from one PC to another to "Key" the 2nd PC. Is there
    any way of reading PC Specific information to identify the PC is
    the same one that the SO was created on? Or is there some other
    technique that is typically used to accomplish this?

  • Focus lost moving from one form to another in web deployed forms6i

    I have developed an application using forms6i rel 2
    The forms server is installed on windows 2000 and all necessary set up is done on the forms server. Patch 18 is also applied.
    On the client side I am using IE 6 and JRE Java 2 Ver 1.5.0_9-b03
    Everything works fine. But when I navigate from one form to another, the cursor focus is lost. This also happens when I navigate from one block to another block within the same form.
    In such situation when I press Windows button on the key board twice, the cursor reappears. It seems the problem is because the applet window where the forms is running is not refreshed while navigating to different forms.
    Can anybody guide me to solve this problem.
    Thanks
    Kamlesh

    Hi,
    I also have same problem ´but with forms 10g.
    If i set SeprateFrame=True then it works fine. but if applet is inside ie window and i move from this IE window to any other window and come back then focus is set to first menu item.
    whenever user comes back to forms apps, has to click somewhere in applet to activate it, this is so irritating.
    Seems that even oracle does not have any workaround for this, same thing happens on forms demo which is provided by oracle.

  • Moving from one playlist to another

    I have authorised my computer but I cannot move songs from one playlist to another on my iphone.  How can I do that?  It is frustrating as I have songs in Purchased but cannot move it to another playlist.

    Here is one thing you could try :
    With iTunes not running ...
    Locate the iTunes Music Library.xml file from your old iTunes account and copy it to the desktop of your Talos account. (Or if you copied it over already, it's in your iTunes folder in which case just move it out to the desktop).
    Find your current "iTunes Library" file (should be in the iTunes folder) and move to Trash (don't empty it yet).
    Now launch iTunes and in File > Library > Import Playlist, navigate to the .xml file. All being well that should then proceed to re-create your old iTunes Library file and all the playlists.
    However, never having done this myself, I'm not sure whether that also rebuilds the links to your current iTunes Music folder. Let's hope so, or all your songs will have the dreaded ! next to them.
    Let me know what happens.
