New Computer--Backup not working well (Help!)

Hi All,
Have my CDs for the backup of my iTunes Library and Playlists. It is not copying over my playlists. The files are being sent to my C Driver, but the playlists are not there. Is that normal?
I also do not see all my apps on the new itunes.
Help!
Thanks

In my opinion, the itunes backup to CD/DVD is very poor. Plus, if you take the trouble to test it and try to restore before you actually need to restore, you might find that the restore does not work.
My advice is to buy an external hard drive and use that for backups.
Assuming you have the default iTunes setup, all you need to do to backup is copy the iTunes folderand all its subfolders to the exHD.
This will copy the itunesLibrary.itl file (database with play lists, ratings, playcounts), the Mobile Applications and Artwork folder, and all your artist/albums.
If you have a special iTunes setup, then you need to figure out yourself what folders you need to back up.

Syncing to a new iTunes library or computer will erase your iPod. Only if you back up your iPod manually before syncing, you can restore your device from that backup again. A manual backup does not include the sync process.
Do this:
Disable autosync in iTunes, connect your iPod to your new computer and right click on it in the device list and choose backup. iTunes will backup your iPod without syncing.
Transfer your purchases the same way, choosing "transfer purchases" this time.
When you connect your phone for the first time, all media content will be erased. But you can restore your settings and app data from your manual backup afterwards.
Don't forget to set up at least one contact and event on your new computer to be able to merge calendars and contacts when you sync the iPod for the first time.
Music is one way only, from the computer to your device, unless you bought the songs in iTunes and transferred your purchases.

HT1212 Restoring on a new computer that the ipod has never been synced to is not working. Old computer is broke and trying to sync to the new one is not working. Help!

Passcode has been disabled and the computer it was synced to is no longer working. We have tried to sync to the new computer and it is not possible. Exactly what are the steps to do this. All our apple products are on our account, therefore, apple support should be able to see that there is nothing "suspect" going on. It is driving me insane not being able to reset/resync, whatever it's called when your locked out.

Place the iPod in Recovery mode and connect to the computer and restore via iTunes. The iPod will be erased. You can redownload iTunes purchases by:

New Hard drive not working - please help!!!

This is an original thread that I'd started:
http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=2066043&tstart=0
Since that, I tried the following this morning.
I took out the old 100GB drive and fitted the new 500GB (blank) drive. My plan was to fresh install OSX, install Carbon Copy Cloner and then clone the old drive by plugging it in with a reading device I have. What actually happened was the following:
I put in my Mac OSX install disc 1. I opened disc utility from the top toolbar. In disc utility the new drive showed up and I formatted (erase option) it to mac OS Extended (journalled). I then began a fresh install of OSX. As it started the macbook told me I was '+running on battery power+' and '+was I sure?+'. With full battery I said yes and continued. All was going well and it prompted for the second install disc. It got some way through that and then got stuck at 38% installing garage band loops. The new internal drive was also making a repetitive noise - not loud or anything but certainly sounded like it was searching for something. As the whole thing was stuck and nothing was working I held down the power button.
I tried again with the first disc but it wont even do anything anymore! I took out the new drive and put in the old one. Booted up. Connected the new drive to the reader with the idea of re-formatting it via disc utility.
But now the brand new drive is not readable and is making the a few funny repetitive noises.
Please help me someone - I'm very worried about this new drive now!!! Is is broken or corrupted or something???
Your help is very much appreciated

Hi VS,
What "reading device" are you using?
As it started the macbook told me I was '+running on battery power+' and '+was I sure?+'. With full battery I said yes and continued.
It is best to have the power adapter connected when running a long process like this which cannot be interrupted.

How long was it "stuck?"

It sounds like there is something amiss with the new HD. If you have access to a different external enclosure, (even on a PC, just to see if the HD will function), you could try erasing/formatting it again. If not, I think it's time to contact the vendor about a return.

NEW iPad 3G Not Working well in Singapore

I tested the 3G on my new iPad against iPhone 4 - The 3G is just NOT working on iPad.
I tested in more than 10 locations - home, work place and others. In many areas, the 3G is working well on iPhone 4, whereas it is non-existance or slow like a snail on the new iPad.
Please fix this Apple! Thank you.

Additional things to try.
Try this first. Turn Off your iPad. Then turn Off (disconnect power cord) the wireless router & then back On. Now boot your iPad. Hopefully it will see the WiFi.
Go to Settings>Wi-Fi and turn Off. Then while at Settings>Wi-Fi, turn back On and chose a Network.
Change the channel on your wireless router. Instructions at http://macintoshhowto.com/advanced/how-to-get-a-good-range-on-your-wireless-netw ork.html

NEW IPOD NANO NOT WORKING, PLEASE HELP

Hi Guys,
I have the large IPOD (4 YEARS OLD) and bought a 2nd Ipod Nano that's smaller for the gym. I plugged it into my MAC BOOK PRO and it keeps saying it needs to be updated which I press "OK" and then it asks for my password and when I type it in, it keeps stating it's "incorrect"? What should I do, any help would be greatly appreciated!
Thanks

Restoring i-tunes on new computer does not work

Dear All,
I had to re-install my computer according to Microsoft advice and at the same time I changed from Windows Vista to Windows 7. Here is what I did with my music on itunes:
Before doing anything on the Vista System I followed the instructions given here for backing up itunes library on an external hard disk, i. e.
1. I asked i-tunes to move the music into one folder and
2. chose to organize the library.
After closing i-tunes I copied the folder i-tunes I copied the i-tunes folder to the external hard disk.
Then I installed Windows 7 after formatting the system's hard disk. In contrary to the prior system setup I partitioned the hard disk and moved the music folder like other folders of my account to the second partition to separate my data from system and programs. The move of the music folder was done by right-clicking and changing the "path" information to the new destination on harddisk d:.
Thereafter I downloaded and installed i-tunes again.
After installation I copied the i-tunes folder from the external hard drive into the i-tunes folder created by the new installation of i-tunes confirming that the folders should be integrated and any files be replaced by the files from the external hard disk.
Now starting i-tunes again, it looked like before stating 349 albums and 46 GB equals 14,+ days of music. BUT:
Whichever title I click i-tunes says: the title ... could not be used because the original could not be found. Do you want to search it now?
(Translation from German, English wording may slightly vary)
I cannot do this for 5000 titles, nor can I find them all because I don't really understand the structure of the i-tunes folders. I expected the folders to be like the CDs I imported, but they are somewhat different.
Some history to the music import: I started to import the CDs on i-tunes 7, continued on 8 and finally upgraded to 9. Under i-tunes version 9 the story above starts.
Some additional Info: The computer (hardware) is the same, it got 1GB memory more and it got another system name (pmn10 instead pmn08 before). Also I shortened my account name. - Just for info, it may or may not be of importance.
What do I have to do in order to make i-tunes work. It is impossible to get my music here as my complete CD collection is in Germany well stored while i am seconded to Abu Dhabi. Please help me to rescue my music!
Other question: can't I restore the music by simply synchronizing the I-pod to i-tunes? I mean: empty library on the computer, connecting Ipod and getting the stuff from there?
Additional problems:
1. The same applies to some media bought from the i-tunes store. it also is not found. In any case, this stuff I have backed up on a DVD according to the description given under support.
2. I forgot to deactivate the old system under i-tunes. What is to be done in order to delete the not any more existent system in i-tunes store records?
Looking forward to a problem solving enlightment I remain with
best regards from Abu Dhabi
Philippus
PS: What came afterwards to my mind what may be important to know:
Vista System was 32 bit, windows 7 now is 64 bit.

I have kind of like the same problem as you do. I don't have a solution to your problem, but I can answer one of your questions: it is not possible to restore the music in your library by emptying your library and then connecting your ipod. In fact, this will immediately delete all the music on your ipod as well if automatic synchronisation is on. So whatever you try, don't try that!
If there's someone who does have the answer to this question, I hope that he or she can answer this similar question as well:
I have always had two OS's installed on my computer, XP and Vista. At first I only used XP, so I had iTunes installed there. Now I've switched to Vista (and I won't be using XP for iTunes anymore) and installed iTunes there too. However, the drive letters in Vista are different than they were in XP. For different reasons it's not really practical for me to change them. I managed to get my library working in Vista so I could keep using my ipod in Vista without having to add all the music again. I can't use iTunes to play music however now, because none of my files can be found. Even worse is that I can't create new playlists because of this.
When I click on a song that cannot be found I get asked if I want to search for this particular song. Is it possible to do this for entire albums? Or does anyone know another solution to get iTunes to find my songs?
Would be much appreciated!

I tried to back it up the first time, and it was taking forever, so I stopped it, and then started a new backup. Can someone let me know what to do so I can be comfortable knowing the machine is definitely backed up?
Thanks!

The indication that the backup completed successfully is the best evidence that it did. If you want something more explicit, you can proceed as below.
Launch the Terminal application in any of the following ways:
☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Terminal in the icon grid.
Drag or copy — do not type — the following line into the Terminal window, then press return:

You'll be prompted for your login password, which won't be displayed when you type it. You may get a one-time warning not to screw up.
The command will take at least a few minutes to run. Eventually some lines of output will appear below what you entered.
Each line that begins with a plus sign (“+”) represents a file that has been added to the source volume since the last snapshot was taken. These files have not been backed up yet.
Each line that begins with an exclamation point (“!”) represents a file that has changed on the source volume. These files have been backed up, but not in their present state.
Each line that begins with a minus sign (“-“) represents a file that has been removed from the source volume.
Files that you’ve excluded from backup, or that are excluded automatically, are ignored.
At the end of the output, you’ll get some lines like the following:
Added:
Removed:
Changed:
These lines show the total amount of data added, removed, or changed on the source(s) since the last snapshot.

I am guessing this is malware or adware of some sort. Ty scanning with multiple and up-to-date tools
Sometimes a problem with Firefox may be a result of malware installed on your computer, that you may not be aware of.
You can try these free programs to scan for malware, which work with your existing antivirus software:

You need to use multiple and up-to-date tools as they will not all pick up the same things.
[http://windows.microsoft.com/MSE Microsoft Security Essentials] is a good FREE permanent antivirus for Windows 7/Vista/XP if you don't already have one.

An iPhone backup to a computer via iTunes stores the photos in a backup file that is only meant to be be used if needed to restore back to the phone. There is 3rd party "extractor" software available but otherwise the photos are not directly viewable.
The backup via iTunes was a good idea and your Camera Roll photos should be there and should be able to be restored to your new phone. However if it was me I wouldn't rely on that alone. I would also import the photos to a computer where you can see and verify that you have a copy. That is a good idea at any time (not just when you know you might need it). Any phone can be lost, broken, suffer hardware issues, etc at any time and lose all data on it. Following is a link with information on how to import the photos to a computer: Import photos and videos from your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch to your Mac or Windows PC - Apple Support

HT1589 how can i transfer my library to a new computer? old computer is not working

how can i transfer my i-tunes library to a new computer? my old computer is not working.

It has alwasy been very basic to always maintain a backup copy. Have you failed to do this? not good.
You would have to take the hard drive out of your old computer and connect it to your new and transfer the info.

I just bought a mac mini over the weekend. I saved items from my old G4 to an external hard drive. I go to plug in the external hard drive and the new computer is not recognizing it. Help.

I just bought a mac mini over the weekend. I saved items from my old G4 to an external hard drive. I go to plug in the external hard drive and the new computer is not recognizing it. Help.
Here is the information I have. The external hard drive is a 120GB Acomdata. It has both USB and Firewire. When I go to plug in to the mac mini through USB, it is not being recognized. When I switch to Firewire on the old computer I can see it, however when I go to USB it is not being recognized (even on the old computer).
I'm at a loss as to what to do. Any advice would be helpful.

Have you ever tried the FW 400 to 800 adapter?
I have used them on multiple occasions and they work just fine.
Try this (maybe you already have):
-Boot Mini with drive disconnected.
-Do not connect drive but turn it on
-wait a few seconds for drive to spin up
-plug cable into the Mini then into drive.
This is an old drive and may have some timing
issues.
I had an Acomdata drive a long time ago. It
worked fine with FW but USB was flakey.
