New Vista Box....

Help please,
I got a new Vista box last week. Transferred over most of my docs etc. I also transferred over roughly 3000 songs (mostly my daughters.)
On the new machine I installed itunes andit automatically searched out and installed all 3000 songs now on the hard drive. Problem is 200 were my songs, the rest are my daughrters.
How can I set up itunes so I only download/installl MY songs and she can download/install her own....
Any help would be appreciated....
Also I have an iPhone, how do I get my apps back?

Anyone?

So i go to add folder to library and itunes starts getting some songs (i have more than 10000) but after a few minutes it suddenly stops and no songs were added to the library. and itunes freezes, so the only way to go ,is control alt delete ,stop itunes and start again.

    I do the same thing as you do...
    My music is on an external drive as to not use up gigabytes of storage that need not be used for media.
    There are a couple basic principles to iTunes that I believe you should know.
    1. iTunes is not a media storage program. It does not store your media "in iTunes". It simply is an organization tool for your media already on a hard disk.
    2. As iTunes is not a storage mechanism, it has no way to "know" whether or not the media that is listed is actually there. This is where the "design" of iTunes comes into play.
    I like to think of iTunes as a bread-crumb trail. The "music" in iTunes, isn't actually there. The bread crumb is the location on the external hard drive.
    If that bread crumb trail disappears (in this case the external drive you use). If said external drive is not plugged in, that bread crumb trail is not able to be followed. iTunes is "lost" and unable to find the media. The only way to remedy this is to place the media on your local drive.
    To address your issue of the library. If you hold down shift, you can select your library on your external drive. It will be a file with an .itl extension. The folder name will be your external drive.
    I go into edit > preferences > advanced and set my library to the correct location. Make sure you check the box "Copy to iTunes Folder when importing" (or whatever it says).
    You can't fix the issue of iTunes not seeing the media if your drive is unplugged unless you physically move the content to your OS HDD...Or any other HDD you use.

  • Sharing HP Printers Connected to a Vista Box

    I am a new Mac user and am having difficulty setting up access to two HP printers through a wireless network. The printers are connected to a Vista box and set for sharing. Does anyone have any advice? Thanks - i appreciate the help.

    Hello bluesurfertodd,
    Welcome to the HP Forums, I hope you enjoy your experience! To help you get the most out of the HP Forums I would like to direct your attention to the HP Forums Guide First Time Here? Learn How to Post and More.
    I understand that out of the box the HP Pavilion 23fi monitor worked great on your MAC, but the next day it did not work properly. I would try the monitor stand alone and if possible plugged into another computer. If it works correctly contact MAC as they make the display drivers for MAC computers.
    If it does not work correctly stand alone or connected to another computer, the the issue you are describing appears to be a physical issue and I think it would be best if you contact HP Technical Support for repair options.
    I would like to thank you for posting on the HP Forums. Have a great day!

  • Installed iTunes on new Vista 'puter now won't reconize iPod Touch

    I installed iTunes on my new Vista 'puter and it wont reconize my iPod Touch, it does reconize my 3rd, 5th and clasic iPods but not the touch. it is reconized by windows but not iTunes

    After searching the internet for hours, due to having the same problem I finally found a solution
    1) plug in the ipod and go to START then RUN and type in devmgmt.msc
    2) the device manager should come up, then go to imaging devices(Has that sort of name i dont remember its exact name) and hit the plus and it should say Apple Ipod.
    3) Right click and select Update drivers.
    4)Select "Update from a specific location" and then hit browse
    5) then select C\program Files\Common Files\Apple\Mobile Device Support
    6) hit ok and it should have worked.
    thank to Abnormality
    I hope this help,

  • Help Mac user help new Vista user - install itunes or not?

    Hi,
    My friend has a new Vista PC and he's not a skilled user. I'm a Mac person myself. He's having tons of trouble with it and I live 2000 miles away. I'm here on a visit and have been helping him get Flash player and Yahoo IM etc installed.
    Is iTunes a simple, painless, installation or does it require troubleshooting? If the latter, then we won't even try. Too little time for anything but install-and-play.
    Your advice will be much appreciated.

    Our luck will be problems out the wazoo. His PC is brand new and shiny, but working with it is like trying to do eye surgery on yourself without instruments or anesthesia: painful.
    Maybe we'll postpone this until I buy him a Macbook later this year.

    Thanks for the link. It's downloading the standalone installer now.
    Still need someone to chime in if QT will install without problems on the Vista PC. This bit (with my emphasis) from Apple at the download page isn't encouraging.

  • Lightroom 5.4 backup hangs upon finish, relaunches new dialog box

    Is this a bug? I have a recurring Lightroom 5.4 issue on quitting. I have it set up to backup catalog every week upon exit. When the time comes each week, the backup proceeds, but doesn't end -- it just hangs while a new, second dialog box asking to backup once again appears. Lightroom will not quit until i click on this new dialog box -- this happens each time I backup, no matter what my settings change to. Is it backing up twice, or once, or not at all? Why do I have to be present in order for the backup to actually finish? Please help!
    Here's a screenshot. Note the new, second dialog box at bottom. Thank you!!

  • Error 87 on a Vista box

    Would appeciate your help.  Print Server worked fine on my XP machine that died.  Server still works fine for rest of family - but not for me.  Encountering an "Error 87" window when doing the install on a new Vista machine.  Click "OK" to close, which goes to "printer is ready to print" message, but will not print.  The install/printserver sees my Samsung printer.  The printer prints fine when connected directly to the Vista PC via USB.  Been through the install wizard at least 5 times.  Firmware upgrade?  Is there a Vista driver (can't find one on Linksys website)? 
    Thanks for any suggestions.

    as the print server is working fine for rest of the computers , follow the steps mentioned below
    1)go to add printer >> select "add local printer"
    2)select "create a new port" >>"standard tcp/ip port" as "type of port" >> click "next"
    3)enter the ip add of the PS in the "hostname or ip add" field
    4)uncheck "query the printer and automatically select the driver to use"
    5)select custom , click on settings
    6)select "LPR" as the "protocol" .. under the LPR settings put in any name for the "queue name"
    7)check "LPR Byte counting enabled"
    8)click "OK" , click "Next"
    9)select the manufacturer and model number of the printer..if not available , then click on "have disk" , click "next" , check "set as default printer" ..
    The best help yet.
    taken me 5 hours with the CD setup that did not work ad took me 20 sec with your help and works fine

  • Having been without my Mac for a month I've been using iCloud mail. The new mail boxes that I set up there do not automatically show up in Mail on my replacement Mac. Is there any way to transfer them from ICloud mail to Mail?

    sure pretty simple.  make a backup of your current settings
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1766?viewlocale=en_US
    then restore device from old backup you need pics off of
    then import pics to computer
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4083
    you may need to save pics to camera roll first
    then restore the new backup and sync pics back to phone via itunes

  • How to move iTune library and iPod from old XP PC to new Vista PC

    I am upgrading from an XP PC to a new Vista PC and would like to know where I can find instructions on what I should do to transfer my iTunes library and my iPod to the new computer. Thanks for any help.

    I purchased Copy/Tran and, as you described, it was awesome in transferring all 2538 songs to the new computer.
    The only problem remaining is that even though it transferred all songs including the 83 that I had purchased from iTunes, when I synced my iPod with the new computer's iTune library, I got a message saying it could not put the purchased songs on the iPod because they were "not authorized".
    Any suggestions on what to do about that?

    I have a new-in-box version of Audition 3.0 that I purchased about 6 years ago; for a variety of reasons it's been sitting on the shelf all that time. I now need to install it; It installs fine on my system (Win XP) but I can't get it to activate. I'm trying to use phone activation because the machine I will be using is not net-connected. How can I activate this s/w?

    You won't be able to.  You will need to acquire a special copy.  See the following:

  • After placing a new text box in my document, typing new text, clicking away, then coming back to edit the text, I am unable to get my cursor to reappear within that text box. I can only select the box itself. I cannot select the text. Where is my cursor?

    Even simpler than that.
    Clicking once in a text box selects it.
    Clicking once in a selected text box places the insertion point in the box.
    The clicks do not need to be close enough in time to be read as a double click.
    The same behaviour applies to table cells in Pages and in Numbers.

  • I just bought a C4680 all-in-one new in box. It puts an irregular border around "borderless" prints

    I just bought a C4680 all-in-one new in box.  It puts an irregular border around "borderless" prints (at least in 8.5 x ll size) --border is about 1 inch on right, 3/4 at top, 3/8 at bottom and 3/16 at left.  How do I eliminate this?
      Using win XP.

    In iTunes on your computer, select the Purchased section under STORE in the left column. Click on the first track and choose "Get Info" from the "File" menu.
    In the "Summary" tab you'll see details of the purchaser of the track. Click Next to go through all your purchased music one by one until you find the ones you need to get rid of.
    Unfortunately, there are no smart playlist rules that can filter tracks by the purchaser that I know of.
