  • Need help moving iTunes library. 32 bit to 63 bit

    I am going to be moving my iTunes library. I have moved from a 32 bit OS to a 32 bit OS, and that is easy. Is there any difference when moving from a 32 bit to a 64 bit version of Windows, because I know that the install files are different.
    Any help would be appreciated.

    Easiest way would be to download a utility that does it for you.
    For a utility, you should try YamiPod (http://www.yamipod.com).

  • I want to start using my iTunes Server to Synch my iPhone / iPad Need Help Moving iTunes...

    Looking for some advice on a bit of an unusual situation.  I have two Mac Minis. One, (Firefly) is my main machine and my iPhone and iPad both connect to today, I also have another Mini (iTunes_Server) that as the name implies is my iTunes Server for my house.  I figure with WiFi synching I no longer need to have copies of all my music and movies and such on my main machine (Firefly) AND my server, I can simply synch my iPhone and iPad to my server from my home office or bedroom or anywhere in the house. 
    Ok my issue is how do I move my sync relationship over to my server without
    A: having to wipe my phone and
    B: having to migrate my entire iTune from the Firefly Mini to the Server thus screwing up what I have on the Server?
    Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.....
    Thanks everybody.

  • I need help fixing itunes crashes on my old mac

    i need help fixing itunes crashes on my old mac

    Thanks for your reply,
    I have both the silver discs specific to my iMac and Mac Pro models that you receive with your Mac, and a general copy of Snow Leopard that you buy from the store.
    I used the silver disc that is specific for my iMac to install the drivers, and Boot Camp 3.0 on my iMac. But with the Mac Pro, the software is older and only has Boot Camp 2.0, thus I'm wondering if I can simply use the software on the general copy of Snow Leopard I own, or does the silver disc contain specific drivers for my Mac Pro that I need?
    I'm under perhaps the wrong impression that the silver discs that you get with your Mac purchase contain drivers for your specific Mac model which you can't get from the general Snow Leopard disc.
    Thanks.

    I need help moving my Photoshop 7 from my old laptop to my new laptop which is running Windows 7 Enterprise. I’ve tried two routes unsuccessfully. I install the CD, it does not autoplay. I execute Autoplay.exe at the root directory, I am welcomed, I choose English, I accept the EULA, I get the Install/Explore choices window, with the Install button already selected, I click the Photoshop button, the CD spins, and nothing happens.  In the 2nd attempt I execute Setup.exe in the Photoshop directory, and nothing happens at all.  I’m never even offered the opportunity to enter my product code. What should I do?

    There could is likely a compatibility problem between the old software and the newer operating system.

    4, Why won't it register on the website?
    What a nightmare. I want to register my 3 day old computer but you say tech support has expired.
    I'm in Thailand and cannot call your support number. Its the number is incorrect.
    Really need some help with iTunes can someone help me? OK to pay but I really really need some support.

    First, have you moved or renamed the iTunes or iTunes Music folders, or any of the folder or track files in those folders, since iTunes last worked correctly?

  • I need help with iTunes. I just bought a new laptop and I have a few questions

    So I  just bought a new laptop and few days ago. It's an HP. I have the iPhone 4 (8GB). So all my songs from iCloud are on my phone. I want to manually put them on my phone. All of my songs, videos, pictures etc. are on my new laptop. I went to apply the changes on iTunes when I selected "Manually manage music and videos". And a message came up saying "This iPhone is synced with another iTunes library on another PC. Do you want to choose to erase this iPhone and sync with this iTunes library?" Under that it says "Erasing and syncing replaces the contents of this iPhone with the contents of this iTunes library."
    So what do I do? I don't want to click sync and loose everything on my phone. I will no longer use the other comuter. I really need help.
    Thank you!

    There are some instructions on this page for syncing to a new computer : https://discussions.apple.com/docs/DOC-3141
    You should be able to copy iTunes purchased music from the phone via File > Devices > Transfer Purchases
    If you still have your old computer and you haven't copied your library over form it, then there are also some methods listed on this page about how you could copy it over : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4527 - the page refers to music, but I've used the home sharing method to copy apps, films etc between computers.

  • I need help getting itunes on my new computer. old one crashed

    My old computer crashed, I downloaded iTunes on my new computer and need help getting all of my stuff on it that I had. I did 'home share' to see if that worked, and it didnt.
    Also, on my old computer, when I synced my iPad & my husbands iPod, it didnt sync any music or podcasts, no videos-and i went through each category seperately to sync it and it didnt work. So I can't sync my devices to the new iTunes bc not everything is on there that i have purchased.

    It has always been very basic to always maintain a backup copy of your comuter for just this occasion.  Use your backup copy to put everything on the new computer.
    If for some reason you have failed to maintain a backup, not good, then you can redownload some itunes purchases in some countries:
    Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store

  • Need help w/ iTunes + Quicktime

    I just recently downloaded the new version of iTunes (without any success) and now I can't access iTunes or Quicktime. I am also having trouble uninstalling Quicktime from my computer. Here's what I have done, so far.
    1)I have uninstalled iTunes
    2) I tried to uninstall Quicktime, but when I go to remove/add programs, I don't see a "remove icon". It only says the program is "rarely used". What to do?
    3) When I click on the start menu and go to program, Quicktime is on the list, but when I hold the cursor over the QT icon and click on the uninstall option I get this message: "This action is only valid for products that are currently installed". This leads me to believe that Quicktime is actually not on my computer. But how can I be sure? What to do?
    4) I have also had no success when I try to reinstall any version of iTunes + Quicktime or iTunes as a stand-alone program. I am simply stumped and need help.
    TIA...Rick

    Try and use Microsoft's Cleanup Utility and then reinstall Quicktime/iTunes:

  • Windows Media Player is ******* me off...Need help for iTunes

    Ok, so recently my computer went haywire on me, and I had to start from scratch by basically wiping the HD and now installing Windows Vista (I used to have XP). I did back up all my songs on my external before hand.
    So now that everything SHOULD be up and running, I transferred all my songs back to my C:\.
    Yet...now when I go to "play all" (in order for iTunes to reference them), it says "Play All with Windows Media Player" and WMP thinks it has the rights to all the song files. I use iTunes for everything and I can't find the option part on either software to make iTunes the primary again.
    I used to be an IT major...
    Now I think that's in the past...lol.
    I need help. Who knows how to fix it?
    (Oh, and if you know a way to get them all to register instead of me going by artist by cd to play, that'd be appreciated too! :D)

    This article tells you how to set itunes as the default media player in Vista.
    http://support.apple.com/kb/TA27514
    To get them all in your itunes library, drag the top-level music folder over from Win Explorer to the itunes window. You don't need to add things one-by-one!
    Alterantivly, you can use itunes menu > File > Add folder to library and do the same thing.

  • Help moving iTunes to a new computer

    I am reposting this question since I am still having trouble moving iTunes from my desktop (Tiger) to my Macbook (Leopard).
    I have successfully moved the iTunes folder to my new computer and all my playlists, album artwork etc are there.
    The problem is the actual music. On my old computer all the albums are saved under Users: Shared
    The new computer only has only user.
    It was suggested that I move it to the iTunes Music Folder.
    I tried that. Only half of the shared library copied - an error saying the remaining files could not be copied came up.
    When I opened iTunes the songs won't play because "the original file could not be located"
    - if i click to find it, I can then go to the iTunes Music Folder (which now contains 3 folders : Downloads, Podcasts and Shared).
    If I click on Shared - the music is there, and if I then click on the individual song it loads it and will play it.
    Is there anyone to do this en masse? With over 13G of music I can't reload each song individually. I am assuming the location I copied the music too is wrong.
    I hope this makes sense. Thanks in advance for any help.
    L

    I think that most of the folders are locked. In leopard they don't use shared they have Public folders. Try going to the music folder then clicking Get Info and changing it. If that doesn't work try the Migration assistant. To get to that on leopard (I don't know how to on Tiger) Go to applications then utilities and select the Migration assistant.
