Putting music onto new MacBook Pro

I had to get a new MacBook Pro because my last one got stolen, and I am trying to put my music from my iPhone onto it but can't figure out how. The purchased ones go into iTunes fine, but no other music. Can anyone help?

Hey,
I'm having the same problem. Kind of.
I've got either 4th/5th gen ipod. I had the software up-to-date. Now, iTunes 7.0 won't recognize my ipod, and funny enough, the OS won't either (it's as if it does not exist). So, I tried re-installing my old ipod software, and I got the same error message. So, at the moment, I'm kind of between a rock and a hard place. My 20 gig ipod isn't being recognized, and I can't reinstall my old software, nor it seems iTunes 6.0, which worked just fine thank you very much!!
Any help so that I can sync my iPod with my iTunes, as well as be able to view it on the desktop would be appreciated (for the record, when I plug it in, it does pop up the symbol not to disconnect, so the computer is "kind-of" recognizing it.

  • Putting Songs From iPod onto New Macbook Pro

    I am trying to put the approximately 75 gb of music that is on my ipod onto my new Macbook Pro. My Powerbook died unexpectedly and took all my music with it. So now all I have is my little external hd, aka ipod. I've looked online for help with confusing and unsuccessful suggestions for taking music from an ipod and putting it onto a computer. Any help?
    Thanks.

  • Put CS4 Design Standard onto new MacBook Pro

    I purchased Adobe Creative Suite 4 Design Standard about 4 years ago and had it on my old computer. I have deactivated it from that computer and uninstalled it and now I want to install it on my new Macbook Pro that doesn't have a disc drive. Please help me figure out how to do this.
    I have the Serial Number and Coupon Code still. Can I do this online or do I have to buy a CD driver separately?

    You can download and install and activate using the serial number.

  • Can't get ibooks onto new macbook pro

    Hi

    gosh hope you can understand me again lol
    I have just asked a question about the set up so sorry i am repeating my self but this one was about the ibooks.
    Hope you can help.

    Hello Traceykate,
    iBooks for Mac is part of the OS X Mavericks. Check to see what version of OS X you and your sister are running. If you one of them is not updated, then go to the Mac App Store and download OS X Mavericks and you should be able to have iBooks. Check out the articles below for more information about iBooks for Mac, how to check what version of OS X you are running and a link to download Mavericks.

  • Getting AppStore Apps & iTunes Library from old (broken) MacBook Pro onto new MacBook Pro?

    Hi, I just bought a new MacBook Pro, and my old MBP is broken (water was spilled on it)...How can I get all the apps that I purchased on my old laptop onto my new laptop? Can I download them from the App Store? Many were not synced with a mobile device...I would appreciate any help!

    If you did an iCloud backup, it is possible for you to transfer your purchases.
    If not, it depends on how damaged the Computer is.  How bad is the water damage>?

  • Loading CS5 Master Collection onto new Macbook Pro with no DVD drive

    I have a complete, legitimate, registered version of CS5 Master Collection. I also have a new Macbook Pro with no DVD drive. I have lost the disk, but have the box and confirmation email when I registered the product, with the key code. This product cost alot of money and I really need to get it onto my new machine. Can I do this without having the additional cost of a new DVD drive? I already paid for and own the software with keys so it's not like I'm trying to bend anything or do it for free. Any advice would be appreciated thank you.

    Download the CS5 Master Collection trial version from
    http://prodesigntools.com/all-adobe-cs5-direct-download-links.html
    You must follow the Very Important Instructions on that page first otherwise the links will not work.
    Launch the trial and enter your serial number to license it.

  • Cloning Leopard iBook G4 onto new MAcBook Pro

    Is there some way to transfer everything on a Leopard iBook onto a new MacBook Pro in one quick operation? I heard about a feature which does this through a firewire connection but didn't catch the nomenclature, so my searches have been fruitless so far. Would appreciate it if someone could point me in the right direction.

    Hi! You can use the migration assistant.
    Using Migration Assistant to transfer files
    If you need to transfer all your files and important settings from an older Mac to a new one, and both computers are using Mac OS X, you can use Migration Assistant.
    Before using Migration Assistant, make sure that both computers have Mac OS X installed and that you have a FireWire cable to connect the two computers.
    To transfer files using Migration Assistant:
    From the Finder on your new computer, open Migration Assistant, located in the Utilities folder in your Applications folder.
    Follow the onscreen instructions to connect a FireWire cable and choose the files you want to transfer.
    Applications sometimes fail to work properly using the migration assistant and have to be re-installed.

  • Transfering old emails onto new Macbook Pro ?

    On my old white macbook there are lots of old emails that I wish to keep for various reasons. How can i transfer these onto my new Macbook Pro so they sit in the email page (running in classic mode) above the new mail ? ie all the old is in email, new messages at the bottom, older above.
    Hope this makes sense ?
    Cheers
    Brian.

    I am using the normal Apple -mail on both laptops.

  • Issues with restoring a Time Machine backup onto new Macbook Pro Retina

    I recently got a new Macbook Pro Retina and I've been trying to restore a Time Machine backup made today from my old Macbook Pro laptop. I didn't restore from the first start up (foolishly, seemingly) simply because of the trivial reason of wanting to see the system all clean and new.
    I've tried the Migration Assistant but it gets stuck on "looking for source..", despite having the ex.HD plugged in and double checking the existance of the backup itself on the ex.HD.
    I've also tried booting the laptop up in the 'restore' mode (cmd R) and restoring from there but it sends me in a constant loop of 'this backup was from a previous model of laptop' or something to that affect. It also doesn't display the recent backups at all, only displaying those from the beginning of this year for some reason. All backups are in the same place on the ex.HD so its not an issue with locating the backups.
    Really stuck on this one! Would really appreciate some help!
    Thanks a lot, and merry Christmas

    Yes, you can restore to another machine if needs be.

  • Installing Aperture 3 onto new MacBook Pro

    Hi Support Team,
    I own a copy of Aperture 3.0 (on disk); I bought the software back in 2010 when it was first released and have been running the software on my MacBook Pro (2009 model).
    Now, I have bought the new MacBook Pro Retina and installed Mountain Lion.
    Question:
    Do I have to purchase the latest version of Aperture to work on the new MacBook? 
    Or can I load Aperture 3.0 using my original disk and hope that I can update the software to the latest version (3.3.2)?
    Thanks,
    Steve

    You should be able to install with the DVD and then download the AP 3.3.2 installer from here:
    http://support.apple.com/kb/DL1561?viewlocale=en_US&locale=en_US
    You may or may not need to go the 'System Preferences > Security & Privacy' and select 'Anywhere' in the 'Allow applications downloaded from:' section. I am not sure whether or not the DVD will get flagged as it may or may not be a signed installer.
    Suggest running the AP 3.3.2 update and then 'Repair Permissions' via Disk Utility prior to launching Aperture for the first time.

  • Used Setup Assistant to move files onto new Macbook Pro, but things missing

    I followed the prompt and used the back up of my old Macbook from my time capsule to setup my new Macbook pro, and even though my documents seem to be there, my itunes library shows nothing, and my iphoto library is empty as well. I checked all of the boxes. Any idea where I go from here?

    On this I'd recommend contacting AppleCare (you have 90 days of free phone support) and they can help you get those libraries over. You can find the phone number in your area using this advice letter:

  • Migrating files onto new Macbook Pro Permission to view files/folders

    Hi. Forgive me if there is a more appropriate place for this question. I have just bought a new Macbook pro and am trying to migrate everything from my (very old) Ibook G4. The migration seems to have worked, using migration assistant and a firewire, but now it is saying *I do not have permission* to open the folders to get to my old files etc. Please can anybody help me - I need those files!
    Thanks.

    Hi D,
    That's what I don't like in migrate, a rather copy files later when system were fully updated and working fine.
    Try to boot in safe mode (hold Shift right after press the power button) and to use Applications > Utilities > Disk Utility to repair permissions.
    Good luck.

  • Can i take garageband old OS X disc and put on my new macbook pro

    I purchased a Macbook Pro on Nov 2 2011 which was pre-installed with Lion and I'm trying to install Snow Leopard on it. It won't recognise my SL Install Disc at all and just hangs so I wiped the drive and attempted to start up from a bootable SL memory stick. I got an audible alarm from the Macbook Pro which would only stop when I restarted the computer. I had to re-install Lion from a Time Machine back up via the internal recovery disk. I'm pretty sure that late 2011 MBP will not take SL but I'm waiting for a Firewire 400 to 800 cable to arrive so I can try to wipe the internal drive entirely and install via Target Disk mode. I'm not hopeful but I gotta try as I need Snow Leopard to run Pro Tools and other programs. If only I'd bought it before October 24th this wouldn't be happening!!!!!!!!!!
