PLEASE HELP!!!!!!!!! Transferring music Mac external drive- Windows

Hello my fellow community members. I have an external hard drive where I used to back up my MacBook's hard drive, and more importantly my iTunes music collection, a decade long culmination of my ever changing musical tastes. The MacBook finally gave out on me and now the only computer I have access to apart from my iPad is a PC running windows 7. So my question is, how can I transfer my iTunes folder off of my Macbook's external drive onto the Windows 7 PC? And also, would there possibly be some kind of USB extension I can get for the iPad that could possible allow me to access those files on the drive? but most importantly is transferring that entire folder onto the PC. If someone could please help me I would greatly appreciate it. I would be devastated if I lost my collection. About 90% of my collection wasn't purchased on iTunes so iCloud is no help for the majority of it. So please, help a brother out as they say!!!!!!!

There is no way to connect any iOS device via USB to an external drive.
What format is the external drive in?  If it is not in NTFS format, the windows computer will not be able to read the data on it.

  • New mac user, need help transferring music from external hard drive

    I am new to using a mac. I have had an iphone for almost a year so I am catching on quickly to my macbook but this problem has stumped me and all my mac using friends.
    I have a 500gb seagate external hard drive aswell as a new 500gb seagate internal.
    I transferred all my music from an old ipod onto the external hard drive. There is about 50gb of music.
    When I plug my external into my pc desktop I can see the music folder organized into subfolders with files inside that are encoded unless they are opened in itunes. My pc doesn't have enough internal memory to open and store my music library so I have just left it on the hard drive. When I plug the hard drive into my macbook it will show the music folder as having 50gb but when the folder is opened, none of the subfolders or files are visable.
    I went ahead and dragged the folder from my harddrive onto my desktop. It took about an hour to transfer all the files but now the folder is sitting on my desktop and when I open it, it is empty. If i look in the folders info, it says it has the 50gb. If i try to drag and drop it into itunes nothing happens. If I drag and drop it into the itunes music folder, it will go there but will not show up on itunes.
    I'm stumped and no longer eligable for apples telephone support as I bought this macbook from a friend. Any help would be greatly appreciated

    I have a couple of theories, but I'm not an iTunes expert. These people are, though:

  • MacBook Air, can I partition my Mac external drive to have an ISO image file location for Windows downloads?

    Hi, in preparation for installing bootcamp and windows 7, and in the absence of a DVD drive on my MacBook Air, can I partition my Mac external drive to have an ISO image file location for Windows downloads?

  • Help with partitioning an external drive

    I've never done this, so am not sure how it works. I have an external drive (250 gb) that I use with SuperDuper to back up my Mac. Now I have decided I also want to keep a separate iTunes library on this drive. Apparently, so that SuperDuper doesn't erase the new iTunes library, the drive will need to be partitioned.
    So. . . I will use Disk Utility to partition that drive into two and call each section something different? Will each section then look like a different drive (for instance, in SuperDuper)?
    Are there any tricks or tips I should know before running Disk Utility's partition application?
    I have searched the forum for info on this, but most of the people seemed to have at least basic knowledge of how it works, so didn't get much help there. I want to ask before I go and erase the drive.
    Thanks in advance!

    Disk Utility offers following partition schemes:
    GUID -> Intel Mac
    Apple Partition Map (APM) -> PPC Mac
    Master Boot Record (MBR) -> PC
    My apology for referring APM as PPC in my previous post. Native partition scheme (GUID for Intel Mac and APM for PPC Mac) must be used in order to install Mac OS X in the partition as startup disk, it allows booting as well as firmware update. If partition must be shared between Intel Mac and PPC Mac, then only APM scheme can be used since both Mac platforms are able to access APM partition but only PPC Mac can boot from this type of partition.
    Since I have only one Intel Mac and booting from external storage is necessary for maintenance (full defragmentation) and repair (in case when internal drive has crashed), I use only GUID scheme for iMac's internal drive and Firewire external drive. Super Duper is used to mirror exactly internal drive to external drive regularly. The only time I have to perform file transfer between PPC Mac and Intel Mac with external drive was during hardware upgrade as follows:
    iBook G4 -> iMac G5 -> iMac CoreDuo -> iMac Core2Duo
    Thus the decision for partition scheme of external drive depends on whether you have to boot Mac OS X from external drive (no in your case but highly recommeded for emergency plan) and whether sharing of external drive between your PowerBook G4 and iMac CoreDuo is desirable. I assume you will select APM scheme for your purpose since booting Mac OS X from external drive is not required.
    Use of very old Master Boot Record (MBR) scheme will turn the external drive into PC drive completely. Unless this drive must be accessed in Windows environment as conventional PC drive for some PC disk utilities (these old utilities can't work with new GUID scheme), use of this non-native scheme for Mac OS X is not advisable.
    Hopefully above information will help you in partitioning external drive. Since you do not have to preserve content of this external drive, why not go ahead and experiment with new partitions to see whether they serve your purpose ? Disk partitioning without writing zero or any random patterns on whole disk takes only few seconds. But it is a good idea to write zero (shortest time required) across whole disk surface to ensure that bad disk blocks are masked off to prevent future access and possible crash.

    Hopefully you moved the entire iTunes Media (or iTunes Music) folder to a new path on your external drive. Copy your iTunes library folder out to the root of the external drive, e.g. X:\iTunes (where X: is your external drive), then move the media folder inside it. Hold down shift as you start iTUnes and keep holding untila asked to choose or create a library. Choose the library at X:\iTunes\iTunes Library.itl. Should all be good.
    Failing that, download and run my FindTracks script and point it at the new location of your media folder.

    Hello there Unicornbarf534,
    Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.
    It sounds like you are unable to successfully install iTunes. I recommend the troubleshooting instructions in this article named:
    Trouble installing iTunes or QuickTime for Windows
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1926
    Here is a general outline of where the troubleshooting will take you:
    General installation troubleshooting
    1. Empty your Temp directory and restart
    2. Completely remove iTunes and related components
    3. Install the latest version of iTunes
    Additional troubleshooting
    After performing each of the steps below, you will need to completely remove iTunes and related components and then install iTunes again to determine whether the issue is resolved.
    1. Make sure you have administrator account access
    2. Make sure your folder names don't contain strange characters
    3. Get the latest Windows updates
    4. Disable other conflicting software
    Additional Information
    If you only need to install QuickTime, or if iTunes installs but QuickTime installation did not complete
    Try downloading and installing the standalone version of QuickTime from http://www.apple.com/quicktime/download/. Be sure you download the version that does not include iTunes.
    If the steps outlined in this article don't help, you may be able to find a solution to your issue by searching the Microsoft support website.
    All the best,
    Sterling

  • Apple physically replaced the HD on my Imac.  I backed up everything on a Seagate Go Flex Desk for Mac external drive for Mac.  I went through the motions to restore my Iphoto Library back to my computer. Can't find them!!!!!

    Apple replaced my hard drive on my Imac.  I'm lucky I backed up everything on a Seagate Go Flex Desk for Mac external drive via Time Machine .  I followed directions in order to restore my iphoto library , but I can't seem to find it on my computer.  Are the files locked?

    No reason to assume they are locked. The library will be restored to the location it was backed up from, unless you specified somewhere else. Have you looked in your Pictures Folder?

  • My imac won't recognize my passport for mac external drive

    I just bought a WD my passport for mac external drive to back up my imac with Snow leopard OS. the passport icon doesn't show on the desktop and when I look using disk utility the external drive isn't recognized. The external drive has nothing wrong with it as I plugged it into a newer imac running 10.9.5 and it works fine on that machine. I went through the troubleshooting steps from WD and the only one left is trouble with the OS. I have updated the software and downloaded the drivers from WD and still no change. Any suggestions? thanks!

  • Please help, my music would not open after syncing to computer.

    Please help, my music would not open after syncing to computer.

    Try quitting the music app completely and restart your iPad.
    Go to the home screen first by tapping the home button. Double tap the home button and the task bar will appear with all of your recent/open apps displayed at the bottom. Tap and hold down on any app icon until it begins to wiggle. Tap the minus sign in the upper left corner of the app that you want to close. Tap the home button or anywhere above the task bar. Restart the iPad.
    Restart the iPad by holding down on the sleep button until the red slider appears and then slide to shut off. To power up hold the sleep button until the Apple logo appears and let go of the button.
    If that didn't help - reboot your iPad. Reboot the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider - let go of the buttons.
    If that doesn't work, there may be a corrupt song in your Music app that you have to find and remove.
