Problems after transferring library via Homeshare

I've recently transferred my itunes library from an old PC to my new laptop, via Homeshare, which seems to have worked fine.
As I won't be using the old PC anymore, I have deactivated all computers registered and re-activated the laptop and this seems to recognise both the laptop and my Iphone as devices.
The problem is that when I try and sync music to my Iphone, after choosing what I want from the library on my laptop, it tells me that my iphone is still 'linked' to my old PC.  I had thought, once I had deactivated the PC, it would revert to the laptop.
Can anyone advise me what I need to know now, in order to have the library on my laptop as the one and only library?
Thanks

AB,
Once you have built your library on the new computer, and verified that it has everything, go ahead and sync your phone to the new machine.
It may be that the new library is identical to the old one, but the iPhone does not know or care about that!  It just syncs to the library that give it.

  • Problems after transferring Library

    I just transferred my Library from an old Windows PC to my new one, using my iPod as the disk transfer.  Everything seemed to work ok except on the new PC it tells me to authorise the computer - but when i try i get a message saying iTunes Store not currently available.  The music seems to have successfully synced back on to the iPod but is greyed out on the iTunes view of the iPod's music library.  Not sure if this is just an authorisation issue, in which case how do i get round the error message?  Or if it is to do with the actual file transfer.  Any help would be really appreciated!

    You really should've exported your library using itunes and then imported it into the new pc.  Have you tried to copy the itunes media folder from the old pc to the new one?

  • Problems after transfering Cost centers with LSMW

    Hi,
    I have a problem after transfering Cost Centers with LSMW.
    The first Batch input run created all cost centers in one CC Group erroneously - cause they should be placed in different CC groups.
    I changed LSMW settings and made another batch input run - now the Cost centers were created in proper groups. I think that I deleted all CC's created in previous batch input run, but now I am not too sure, because there is a problem...
    Cost centers exist both in their proper groups and in the one group mentioned by me before. So there is such situation that Cost center appears in Standar hierarchy twice at the same time.
    When I delete cost centers - they are removed from their proper groups but the CC entry remains in that one group - all CC are there inactive.
    How can I get rid of them. I tried deleting them - but it's impossible - the system doesn't see them.
    When I run the batch input again - the same cost centers appear in proper groups and at the same time they become active in the one group. The standard hierarchy group is not UNIQE.
    Please advice me how to delete these entries from standard hierachy.
    Best wishes,
    Karol

    Hi,
    Always recommended before loading into live system: upload in test system and check. check again just to make sure all is correct before real load.
    In your case you probably would have been best to do a group change after incorrect upload.
    Do Ambiguity check in stadnard hierarchy to explore all incorrect entries. Depending on your version yo ucan change in that function (ECC6) ore need to run a report. Before running the report check that CC master records have correct entry. The report is RKCORRH1
    Again, try in QA first and run in Test Run
    Good luck

  • [SOLVED] SMS Conversation problem after transferring messages

    Hi,
    After transferring my SMS messages from my Xperia Z to my new Z3c, received messages are added to the existing conversation, but the replies I send appear in a new conversation!  Anyone else have this problem? Any ideas how to fix it? 
    Thanks,
    Chris
    Update - It turns out that this was due to spaces being present in the mobile number in my contacts after I'd transferred them, I removed the spaces, and it fixed the issue.

    This was driving me insane, thanks for pointing out the obvious! :-)

  • Audio problems after transferring from external hard drive.

    I've transferred an unfinished movie from an external hard drive back onto my mac but now when I play it the audio jolts and is crackly for lack of a better word. How can I fix this?
    It's a birthday present for someone that I need to give today so help would be much appreciated!

    Is your external drive formatted for Mac? Should be Mac OS extended or Mac OS extended (journaled). If it's not, you will need to reformat using the Utilities/Disk Utility app on your Mac -- but reformatting will erase all data on the drive.
    The bad playback may just be an iMovie playback display problem that might not appear on your final project. Quickly share your project to iDVD and play it there to see if the sound acts up. If it doesn't, then it's just a playback display issue in iMovie. That can be caused by overlapping sound tracks or too many audio clips or effects, although you didn't mention whether you were talking about audio embedded in your video clips or separate audio clips in your audio track.
    The most favored audio format is .aiff, so if you have separate audio clips check your format to see what you have got, and if not .aiff try converting it to .aiff. You can do that in iTunes or by exporting it under Expert Settings as an aiff file to your desktop and then dragging it back in to your movie.
    You could try the old standby of closing iMovie and trashing the file com.apple.iMovie.plist found in User (your name)/Library/Preferences. Then do a permissions repair using the Utilities/Disk Utility app on your Mac. Make sure you have at least 15GB of free space for iMovie to work efficiently.
    If you are using iTunes music, you might try first burning the music to a music CD, and then importing it from there into your iMovie project.
    Hope this helps. Perhaps others will have more suggestions.

  • Random songs "cannot be found" after transferring library

    After spending many hours transferring my entire library to a new computer, some of my song files randomly "cannot be found". This makes no sense to me, because when I transferred the actual music files, I moved all the music in the itunes music folder on my old computer to the new one. For some reason, some of the songs that were transferred decide not to play while others, which are in the same folder that I imported will play. Can someone please help me figure out how to find all these "missing" files without having to add the folders in again (which will create annoying duplicates that I will then have to delete). Thank you...

    Sounds like the songs did not exist in the iTunes folder on the old computer but were instead located elsewhere on the computer. 
    If they are in the iTunes folder, then something really strange is going on.         

  • Photos Not Loading After Transferring Library

    I have recently transferred my Aperture 3 Library from my old 2006 iMac to my new 2011 iMac. The folders and albums appear the same as they did on my old iMac and the number of photos in each of the folders and albums appear as a popup when I run my cursor over the each of the folders and albums, but the actual photos have not loaded into the majority of my folders and albums. The photos load when I open some of my albums (with "Loading" appearing in the bottom left corner), but not for most albums ("Processing" appears in the bottom left corner with no activity in the Browser). I initially thought that the smaller JPEG files were loading and larger RAW files were not, but this does not seem to be the case. Any ideas why I cannot see the photos even though they are apparently in the albums? Any recommendations on how to load the photos into my folders and albums?

    Is it just some of the images? Are the images from different cameras? Is there a reprocess option at the top of the Adjustments tab in your Inspector? Are there blank spots where the photos should be? Are any filters applied in the search field?
    Just some of the things to check. If you post a screenshot it may give us some more to go on as well.

  • Problem after consolidating library

    Hi,
    I've changed the location of my iTunes music, as described in this link:
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1449
    After I consolidated the library, I compared the size of the iTunes folder in both locations and there is a difference of 50 GB.
    So what went wrong?
    Thanks in advance.

    Use this. It works great...
    -> iTunes Track CPR v1.3
    "This script attempts to locate the files of so-called "dead tracks"--iTunes tracks designated with (!)--that you assume are not actually missing but are still located in the iTunes Music folder in their "iTunes File Order" (Music -> Artist -> Album -> file.xxx). Any correct files found will be added to iTunes and will replace the "dead track" in each playlist it appears in (except Smart Playlists). Most tag data will also be rescued. Tracks whose files cannot be located will be ignored. Additionally, a text file report is generated that lists successfully resuscitated tracks and the tracks which couldn't be revived.

  • Access privilege problems after transferring user to computer

    Hi
    I gave my flat screen iMac (lamp-shade version) to my parents when I bought a new Intel Core Duo. They had an older iMac. Both their old computer and the one I gave them are running 10.2.8. I connected the computers with a firewire, created a new user (with admin status) and transferred their user info onto my old computer. It all seemed fine, except now when I log on as them all of the applications have access privilege problems. Is there a global way for me to give them read and write access to everything?
    Thanks
    Intel Core Duo   Mac OS X (10.4.4)  

    You may need to post this in one of the older iMac forums iMac (CRT) or iMac (Flat panel) where someone may still be running OSX which is that old. As you may realize with your new iMac and 10.4, much has changed.
    Are you sure that when you sign in as the administrator and go to System Prefs/Accounts and view your access to the account that you created for them there are no access limitations?

  • Huge problem after transfering songs from ipod to pc.

    I'm a pc user. I guess I'm paying for not having a mac now.
    I know this may not be the best forum to post in, but here it is:
    I recently wanted to switch my itunes library's place on my hard disk - I cut the folder unadvertedly, pasted it, had an error - paste was incomplete!! I had lost about half my library!. No problem I still had my Ipod. I read a guide to transfer songs from the ipod to the pc that consists in revealing hidden folders and copying the "F00, F01.." folders. I did that. Now Itunes is filled with doubles and can't really bother to delete a thousand duplicates when my computer lags 5secs each time I delete a single song..
    But the real problem is that now ALL my songs are named like in the ipod (FIUA, JDDH, ASHG, etc) and I'd really appreciate it if someone could tell me how to get the names back, afap :/
    Thanks in advance!!

    you could try this

  • [SOLVED] odd audio problem after upgrade w/ VIA VT82xx

    Everything was working splendidly until I did pacman -Syu the other day.
    Now, sound plays VERY faintly (so much so that you can barely hear it on full volume), and there's audible (but faint) static in the background.  It's ALL sound -- doesn't matter what program I use or whether it goes through ALSA, OSS, or Pulse.  The weird part is that the static gets stronger when my machine does work: if I shut down, for example, the static seems to go along with the disk write noise.  Also, you'd think it'd either work or not work instead of halfway working.
    Volumes are all set properly.  I ran alsaconf to no avail.  I get no errors in dmesg, or when I run a program to play audio.
    I'm assuming the culprit is the 2.6.30 kernel upgrade, but I'm not entirely sure, as like I said, I upgraded all packages.

  • Tried to import iTunes library from desktop to laptop via Homesharing but everything didn't import.  How do I get missing content?

    The whole story: I tried to transfer my iTunes library via Homeshare from my desktop to my laptop but not all of my library imported.  Both computers are authorized and almost all of the 99GB of music was imported from my own cds. I couldn't tell what was missing and I figured a computer person would have an easy way to figure this out.  In the meantime, I added about 20-25 more cds to the library on the laptop.  I had a computer guy come out because I wanted to merge the two libraries so I can get rid of the desktop.  He dragged and dropped several folders onto the external hard drive and then dragged and dropped those into my music folder on the laptop.  Now I have a big mess!  I have tons of duplicates, but the entire library didn't duplicate so I am still not sure if all of my music made it over. He wants to delete all of the duplicates but I explained that I don't want to break up albums and I had already gone through the process of finding "exact duplicates" and deleting those on the desktop before I started all of this.  I talked to a Geek Squad guy at Best Buy who suggested I delete everthing from the laptop and start over.  He wants me to open iTunes on my desktop and select all, then drag that to a new folder on the external hard drive.  Then reinstall iTunes on the laptop and drag and drop that folder into it. I have no idea what to do at this point.  Any suggestions would be much appreciated.  Please know that I am not very computer literate so please type slowly so that I will understand ;-)  Thanks
    Sidenote:  I did sign up for IMatch and had Apple scan both libraries.  Not all of my music showed up there either.  I am missing entire albums, etc. and I have not reached the maximum limit, 25,0000 songs. Should I purchase TuneUp Media to fix any metadata once I get my complete library onto my laptop?  I just want my entire library together, in one place so that I can move forward and back it up properly. Thanks for any help.

    Delete whatever was imported to the new computer via HomeSharing.
    Stop using HomeSharing to move content.
    Copy the ENTIRE iTunes folder from the old computer to the new computer.
    Launch iTunes.
    Everything in iTunes on the new computer will be exactly as it was on the old computer.

    can anyone help me??
    please...
    thx a bunch

    Make sure that you have enough phone memory available, even if you are transferring to the memory card.
    When sending files by bluetooth they are transfered (cached) to the phone then the phone transfers them to the memory card.
    Also you should transfer files one at a time.
    If you are transfering lots of MP3's you would be better off using a data cable as it will be a lot quicker.
