Moving music and photos

Can I transfer photos and music from my iPad onto my dell computer?

You can transfer itunes purchases: File>Devies>Transfer Purcahses
You can import pics taken with the ipad as you would with any digital camera.

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.

Moving music and photos from external drive

Bought a new 27inch iMac for Xmas this week. Today my G5 imac wouldn't boot and has a video RAM error code 2NYD/1/4:2103 and I can't boot in safe mode or from and external drive with carbon copy cloner backup. I am resigned to the G5 being toast. This of course removes transferring files using Migration Assistant.
My question is can I bring all my iphoto pictures and itunes songs/ library to the new iMac from the external drive and what is the best way to do this ?? Will there be issues with the backup being 10.5 and the new iMac being Snow Leopard ??
Thanks for any help.

Read the article I provided and it will give you all you need to run Setup Assistant successfuly. You will need a cable to connect the two machines, the G5 probably only has FW400 and the new machine only has FW800 so you will need a cable like this one. Your local computer store should have one or possibly your local Radio Shack. If you can't find one at either place just order it from Amazon.
NOTE: There will be no need to drag and drop any files from the external HD to the new machine, SA will take care of it all. SA is also smart enough to not overwrite newer applications on the new machine. For example if the Clone has iLife 08 on it and the new machine has iLife 11 on it the new machine will only have iLife 11 on it after running SA.

I had an HP laptop. Just bought Mac Pro and want to get my music and photos over into my Itunes. Can I just open up my I tunes in my new laptop and then sync my Iphone or I pod with it and will all the music andphotos move over?

IPad setup - music and photos

I have recently purchased an iPad 3 and would now like to sort access to my iTunes music content (30gb) and photos (200gb) both of which are stored on an external hard drive which I have connected to a pc. I will shortly be giving my pc to family family as we no longer have room for it as our spare bedroom is now the nursery!! So, what is the best way to continue to access my music and photos without my pc as it will be too much content for my iPad? Perhaps iTunes match for music and if possible (?) accessing my photos via an external hard drive connected to my router?? Or If I kept my pc tower (almost acting as server) can I hook it up to an apple tv (do not currently own one) and access content on pc via network sharing?? I am aware of iCloud but only have the basic 5gb limit.
Really new to this and would welcome any solutions!
Thanks,

You can sync music and photos to your iPhone by connecting the phone to your computer's iTunes - if you don't have your music in your computer's iTunes library, and if it's in a compatible format, then you can add it via File > Add To Library.
Syncing with iTunes : Sync your iPhone, iPad, and iPod with iTunes using USB - Apple Support
Photos aren't added to your iTunes library, iTunes is only used as a tool for syncing them to a device.
Syncing photos : Sync photos to your iPhone, iPad, and iPod touch in iTunes - Apple Support
You will need to sync all the photos that you want on the phone together in one go as only the most recent photo sync remains on the phone - synced photos can't be deleted directly on the phone, instead they are deleted by not including them in the next photo sync.

Transferring music and photo's

I have a Desktop PC...Macbook Pro...Ipad..Iphone...Imac in my home. My music and photo's are on my Macbook Pro and whenever I want to update my Iphone or Ipad I connect to to my Macbook Pro. Now I would like to update everything from my Desktop PC. What is the easiest way to move my music and photo's from my Macbook Pro onto my desktop PC so I can, going forward, connect my Iphone or Ipad to my Desktop PC in order to update everything. I do also have an Icloud account. Thank You.

Moving iTunes Music from one computer to another or an external drive - HT1449 - http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1449.
For iPhoto, launch iPhoto, select "photos" in the left column, then go up to "edit" in the top menu bar, and select "select all". Now go to the top menu bar - file / export - when the export window opens, change the "jpeg quality" to maximum, and change the "file name" drop down to "use title", then click "export". Another window opens, and you want to select "desktop", then "new folder" in the bottom left. Name the folder, then click create. Now click OK in the bottom right.
Once the export is finished, move the folder to an external drive, and then to the other computer.

Transfering music and photos

hi, iam trying to transfer music,photos,and doc from imac to powerbook,
i have done the firewire connection but can not find the relevant files to drag over, ihave already moved some applications, but need help to find file. also where do i move music and pics to.??

Assuming you're talking about your iTunes and iPhoto music and photos, they're in your user folder. Open your user folder and you'll see a 'Music' folder, inside which you'll find a folder named iTunes. Just copy that to the 'Music' folder in your new user folder on your new computer. In your user folder you'll also find a 'Pictures' folder, inside which is a file called iPhoto Library. Again, just copy that to the 'Pictures' folder in your new user folder on your new computer.
Now all this assumes you've used the default settings which consolidates all your music and pictures into these two locations.

I found an old iPod classic of mine. It's not synced to my new MacBook Pro. How can I get the music and photos off of it and on to my new computer? When I plug it in to my new computer it wants to erase what is on it and transfer from my new computer.

I found an old iPod classic of mine that is synced to a computer that is long gone. I want to get the music and photos from this old iPod onto my new computer. Every time I hook the iPod up to my new computer it wants to delete what is on the iPod and replace with the contents of the iTunes that is currently on the new computer. I don't want to do that. I want to keep what is on the old iPod and transfer it to iTunes. Any help? Thanks!

See this excellent user tip from another forum member turingtest2 outlining the different methods and software available to help you copy content from your iPod back to your PC and into iTunes.

Can i share music and photos between two users on the same machine?

How can I share my music and photos between two users on the same machine?

Thank you Joe - I tried this but it's only showing a teensy amount of music - the stuff on the second users account as opposed to the giagntic library on the 'main' account. I actually went to a Genius Bar and they said that apple doesn't really want you to share music between accounts - parents don't want to hear their kids music etc. Which seemed strange, but it might be the case sadly Thanks anyway!

Can I transfer music and photos from my 17" PowerBook G4 to a new MacBook Pro?

I am planning to buy a new MacBook Pro in the next couple of weeks. Can I have the "Genius" at the Apple Store transfer my music and pictures from my current PowerBook to the new computer? My current computer is a 17" PowerBook G4, running OS X 10.5.8. Because of the age of my computer and software limitations I have been unable to use iCloud for anything besides my calendar and contacts.

Yes, flash drive would work fine.
If all you care about is music and photos, as you indicated earlier, then you simply need to copy the entire contents of your Music and Pictures folders from the old computer into the Music and Pictures folders on the new computer. A flash drive will work fine as long as it is big enough. If you want to also move over personal files, typically those are in your Documents folder and possibly your Desktop, so don't forgot about those.
If you want to migrate over all your emails, applications, internet and router settings, web browser favorites, bookmarks, preferences, user names and accounts, etc., then you might consider doing the full migration using Setup Assistant upon the very first boot up. Apple will do this for you, for a fee, as will almost any Apple-authorized computer store (also for a fee, but probably for a bit less than Apple would charge). You can actually do this manually, using the external drive or flash drive, and I have done that myself. But you need to know where the files are to do that properly. The Setup Assistant (which is run upon the very first boot up of the new computer) or Migration Assistant (which is run after you have booted into your new computer at least once) make it pretty easy -- the main thing you need to do is hook the computers up with a firewire cable and follow Apple's instructions; or if that is not possible, the next best thing is to make a complete backup of your old computer onto an external drive using Time Machine (or a cloning program like SuperDuper or Carbon Copy Cloner) and migrate from the backup.

How do I delete music and photos from my iCloud account? I've read below that you can't. Really? Is that correct?

How do I delete music and photos from my iCloud account? I've read that you can't. Really? Is that true?

You can delete photo stream photos from iCloud by just deleting them on your iPod. My photo stream photos are automatically deleted from iCloud after 30 days anyway. Just so you are aware, deleting photo stream photos doesn't free up any space in your account as they don't use your personal iCloud account storage.
You can't delete music from iCloud because the music isn't stored in your account; it's stored in the iTunes store. What you are seeing are links to your previously purchased music in the iTuens store, allowing you to redownload them if you want to. You can't remove anything from your list of previous purchases. If you don't want to see these "iTunes in the Cloud" purchases in your song list, go to Settings>iTunes & App Store and turn off Music under Show All. LIke photo stream photos, this music doesn't use any of your personal iCloud account storage.

I used the migrator utility to transfer music and picture from my old PC and now I have 2 accounts on my new Mac, how can I get back to one account and still have the music and photos transfered ?

I used the migrator utility to transfer itunes and photos from my old PC to my new Mac and ended up with 2 accounts on my new computer. How do I transfer the music and photos and only have the 1 account on the new Mac ?

That's not easy. The Windows migration tool makes a new user account, and you can't prevent it.
You may be able to transfer what you want manually, but it's not quick or easy. See Transferring files from one User Account to another.

Trouble sharing Music and Photos on new Mac Book Pro

I am loving my new Mac Book Pro. Front Row seems quite promising, but I'm having problems with shared music and photos.
I have an airport network in my home and have most of my music and photos stored on my desktop (Dual G4). When I open iTunes on my new MBP the shared music works just fine. Similarly, iPhotos shows the shared photos from my desktop on my MBP.
But, when I try using Front Row, I get an error message saying that there is no shared content. I found a work around that seems to work most (but not all) of the time. If I open iTunes first, start playing a song (shared from the desktop) and then switch over to Front Row it shows that song as now playing and then the rest of the shared music is available.
I have used Software Update to download the latest version of all software on both computers and for my airport network.
Any help you can offer will be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
David
Mac Book Pro, G4 desktop Mac OS X (10.4.8)

Heya David,
If you haven't already please update to 10.4.8. If issue persists then try the following:
Remove the following files to the trash (do not empty until you test for function):
~/library/caches
~/library/preferences/com.apple.itunes.plist
~/library/prefernces/com.apple.iphoto.plist
~/library/preferences/com.apple.frontrow.plist
- Repair your permissions - > http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?path=DiskUtility/10.5/en/duh17.html
- Restart your computer again
- Test and see how its working
Hope that helps!

Limited storage in iPhone so i bought 20g iCloud. how can i use this iCloud storage in my device to store music and photos?

I have a limited storage in iPhone so i bought 20g iCloud. how can i use this iCloud storage in my device to store music and photos?

Welcome to the Apple Community.
You could sign up for iTunes match and use iCloud photo library with optimisation enabled. The later will keep optimised photos on your device and iTunes match will let you access your whole collection and make room for newer content by removing older unplayed items.

I have a Classic Ipod used for music and photos. When I downloaded latest version of Itunes, the photo facility seems to have disappeared, Why?

I have used my Apple Classic Ipod for music and photo storeage/playback. When prompted to download a new versionof Itunes (11.1.0) I did so but cannot now locate any facility for removing/adding photos. Is this a deliberate action on the part of the programmers or a mistake. What can i do to recover the siutation?

Many thanks.
With those symptoms, I'd try the following document:

(If there's a SpeedBit LSP showing up in Autoruns, it's usually best to just uninstall your SpeedBit Video Accelerator.)
