Moving to another state without computer. how do I take itunes with me?

Im moving to another state without my computer. How can I take my itunes library with me for when I eventually get a new computer?

Copy your iTunes folder to a USB flash drive if it will fit, otherwise to a portable flash drive.  When you get a computer, copy the folder in.

  • Stop Video when moving to another "state"?

    Hello,
    I am not sure if this is a Flash Builder topic or a Flash Catalyst topic or I am guessing it is both.
    I  have a Catalyst that contains multiple flv clips. I am discovering that  when you play a video and then you decide to navigate to another  "state" or "location" in my case, that the video pauses. If you then  return to that state the video will start back up where it was paused.
    I am trying to figure out how to tell the program to stop all or any flv when moving to another state.
    Any help here would be great.
    Thank you.

     

  • I just bought a new computer, how can I start syncing with this computer without erasing everything already on my iphone?

    I just bought a new computer, how can I start syncing with this computer without erasing everything already on my iphone?
    Everytime I try to use the option sync manual it wants me to erase everything.
    Please help

    The iPhone can be synced to one and only one computer at a time. Before you "marry" it to your new computer, be sure your new computer contains all the old computer's information. When you sync the iPhone to a new computer, it will be erased first. Then, whatever is on your iTunes Library will be synced to the iPhone.

    You can also copy its previous backup from the old computer to the new one, then "restore from backup".
    From iTunes: About iOS backups
    Where iTunes backups are stored on your computer
    The folder where your backup data are stored varies depending on the computer's operating system. Make sure the backup folder is included in your periodic data-backup routine.
    iTunes places the backup files in the following places:
    Mac: ~/Library/Application Support/MobileSync/Backup/
    Windows XP: \Documents and Settings\(username)\Application Data\Apple Computer\MobileSync\Backup\
    Note: To quickly access the Application Data folder, click Start, and choose Run. Type %appdata% and click OK.
    Windows Vista and Windows 7: \Users\(username)\AppData\Roaming\Apple Computer\MobileSync\Backup\
    Note: To quickly access the AppData folder, click Start. In the search bar, type %appdata% and press the Return key.

  • How do I start iTunes with whichever iTunes library I want?

    How do I start iTunes with whichever iTunes library I want?
    I've created a 2nd iTunes library using the "press shift-key while opening iTunes from the start menu" method given in iTunes help. Now, when I try to start iTunes from the Quick Launch menu or from the system start menu, I get the new library--without choosing it.
    Otherwise, the new library works as I'd hoped. By turning off "Copy files to iTunes Media folder when adding to library," I'm able to use "Add Folder to Library" (where the folders are in the 1st iTunes library) without using more disk space for the 2nd library. So far, it works just fine for CDs and movies. I'm anticipating an iPad which can hold much less than my iPod Classic.
    I have the latest iTunes (10.2.1.1)

    A solution found!
    I found where Apple addresses the question. Actually, I had tried this before I found Apple's answer and before I asked the question here and I didn't get it to work. I finally have it working, but the Apple answer is missing a step--or so it seems.
    Locating Apple's answer:
    From the iTunes window,
    Help > More resources > iTunes Support Website > iTunes Library and Backup > iTunes Library >
    How to open an alternate iTunes Library file or create a new one.
    Apple quote:
    1.If iTunes is running, quit iTunes.
    2.If you are using Windows, hold down the Shift key and from the Start menu and choose All Programs > iTunes > iTunes.
    3.If you are using the Mac, open iTunes and immediately hold down the Option key.
    4.You should see one of the following screens:
    End quote.
    As it says, you get a prompt to: Quit or Choose Library or Create Library.
    I created my new library by choosing "Create Library" and expected to be able to use "Choose Library" later. So, when I clicked "Choose Library," I got a new window that's titled "Open iTunes Library" (it looks a lot like a Windows Explorer window). I selected (on the sidebar) the old library, clicked "Open" and nothing happened. The problem is likely my inexperience with this type of issue, but, still, the solution seems hokey.
    After too much screwing around and a 24oz beer, this is what's working:
    1. If iTunes is running, quit iTunes.
    2. Hold down the Shift key and from the Start menu, choose All Programs > iTunes > iTunes. (You don't have to have the shift key down until just before you click the last "iTunes.") Don't release the shift key 'til the prompt comes up.
    3. The prompt is: Quit or Choose Library or Create Library. Click "Choose Library."
    4. When the "Open iTunes Library" window comes up, click the desired iTunes library on the sidebar. (Mine are named "iTunes" and "iTunesIPad.")
    5. Then, you'll see a list of items in the right pane. Find the file named "iTunes Library.itl" and click it.
    6. Now, with both the iTunes library name selected on the sidebar and the "iTunes Library.itl" file selected in the right pane, click the "Open" button.
    7. iTunes will come up using the desired library.
    8. Using iTunes from the Quick Launch menu or the desktop will bring up the same iTunes library again, even if you shut down your computer.
    9. When you want to change the iTunes library in use, start at step 1.
    Nice about this, is that I would only have to get into the "iTunesIPad" library if I need to add something to it from my regular "iTunes" library or I want to sync to the iPad. Most of the time, I'll use my regular 185GB "iTunes" library (even here, I deselect many movies so that I can sync the library to my iPod).
    Caution:
    I must add the warning that I'm doing this because the iPad (that I don't have yet), won't hold even half of what I have in my iTunes library. At this point, the "iTunesIPad" library will take up very minimal disk space since it's using pointers to the regular library rather than copies from the regular library AND it's easy to switch between libraries only when needed. I can't say that this will all work until I try more setup work and I actually use it with an iPad. If someone knows that this is going to cause problems or if they have a better idea, I'd sure welcome comment. BTW, before trying this, I restructured my iTunes library (File > Library > Organize Library > Reorganize files in the folder "iTunes Media.") to bring it up to date and then backed it up on an external drive. The website "iLounge" has an article about the old and new library structure.

  • How to use my itunes with a new pc

    how to use my itunes with a new pc?

    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. If you don't have any Apple devices then see HT2519 - Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store.
