Question regarding transferring files to my other computer - ???

Hi, I have a question ... Here's the background ~ I have two iPods (iPod touch and iPod nano, older model) and want to be able to sync them with the laptop my brother gave me. It's a Dell, running Windows Vista - Business version (??)... I'm in the process of moving all my files over, or rather, I would like to move all my files over from my eMac (Mac OSX 10.4.11) to the Dell and then replace my eMac with a newer desktop computer because the eMac has been running poorly for some time now. My other files moved over fine but the stuff I've downloaded from the iTunes store doesn't move properly, much of it says it can't be moved from the eMac. Some of it came over... the newer shows, for example (Fringe, and Dr. Horrible) but all the shows I've downloaded for my kids won't move over. It's not an issue of hard drive space, as I have plenty. And I've checked authorization ~ both computers are authorized, so I should be able to move it right?? But the iPods refuse to sync with the Dell.
What's going on? I feel like an idiot (and probably am :: lol :: )
Thanks in advance =^_^=

Am I able to just "plug and play" or do I need to download the software that came with my HD to my computer first?
You can use the hard drive as is; the software is intended for Windows and/or is intended for a specific purpose beyond simply storing data on the drive, such as automated backups.
Secondly, how do I transfer my iTunes and iPhoto files over to the HD and retain my playlists and photo albums?
Create a new Finder window, click on the item in the Finder's sidebar with the house icon, and then drag the items Music/iTunes/ and Pictures/iPhoto Library/ to the drive. You may want to erase the drive in the Disk Utility, which is in the /Applications/Utilities/ folder, first.

Question about transferring files from a Mac

Hi there!
I want to ask about the new iPad mini (and or the iPad 3) especially with transferring files from a Mac.
I normally just do the "normal" way of transferring files (.doc files, .mp3 files or .mp4 video files) i.e. via the USB port of my Mac. But is there a faster, easier and a wireless way to do it?
Please advice.
Thanks.

Stupid question: will i need to also install Dropcopy on my iPad 3/iPad mini in order for my files to be transferred?
Yes, it will need to,install it on any machine you wish to use it on.
also, you should spend some time on the Drobbox website to see how it works. You won't find it in the Mac App Store, but can still easily using it on a Mac.

Buying a new MAC..question regarding moving files

I have an iMAC that is many years old. I also have a Powerbook which is approx. 3 yrs old. I'm considering buying a new MAC. I'm into photography and need lots of hard drive and the newer screens are much more inviting. Anyway, I know when I purchased the laptop I connected it to the iMAC and it loaded all the programs, fonts, etc so I could just start using the laptop with all the things I had on my iMAC. Since both of my machines are quite old I have lots of stuff on them that quite frankly I'm not smart enough to know that I don't need. I don't want to immediately fill up hard drive space on my new machine with things that are worthless. Is there a way of getting things I need and use onto my new computer (like website downloaded fonts, actions, effects) without getting the worthless stuff? Thank you so much.

your case must be similar to mine - below is the final of what I did:
for the entire history of the problem see: http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=6864711&#6864711
my final reply: I managed to do it using ethernet cable!
I did erase and install on MBP while having it etherned to MB then when it comes to the screen when it asks: do you want to transfer... i chose from another mac. then comes the option use firewire or small button: use ethernet. Pressed it and I get info:
put the install dvd 1(MBP) into your other computer and install: DVD or CD sharing setup
so when you put MBP install DVD into MB you get window and among other things there's a folder: optional installs and there this DVD or CD setup
Then when Migrating Assistant is open on MB comes up a dialogue box and then there is an option transfer to another Mac
'your info has been transfered succesfully'
I had to do it using ethernet cable - $3.95 for firewire it's incredibly cheap - but I don't live in the US - here this cable costs around $50
thanks for the time and help!

HT1296 I have a question about transferring files, photos etc, from my ipad air to my PC Windows XP and visa versa

I want to know how to transfer files between my ipad air and my pc Windows XP. I know I can't use icloud because my windows is XP, but there must be some easy way, I hope to transfer files back and forth. If you know of a way or an app, is it user friendly?

The way that you can transfer apps can vary depending upon the apps themselves. Many apps use iOS file sharing with iTunes. Read about file sharing here.
iOS: About File Sharing - Support - Apple
Some people use DropBox to move photos, videos and other files back and forth.
Dropbox - Dropbox for iPad
There are apps that will move files back and forth using USB and WiFi.
File Manager - Folder Plus on the App Store on iTunes
And of course files can be transferred via email.

Transferring purchased songs to other computer

It shows that songs were purchased in my history from another computer, but they are not in my playlist library. ALso how do I guarantee that all my purchased and downloaded songs stay in my itunes account when I deactivate a computer. Getting ready to get two new computers, but there will be a few days in between i will not even have the old two that shared my account...help!!

You need to copy them from the computer you purcahsed them with to the other computer. You can use CD/DVD, external hard drive, flash drive or network the computers.
ALso how do I guarantee that all my purchased and downloaded songs stay in my itunes account
Songs don't "stay" in your account. They stay on your computer and on your backup disks. If you get rid of your computers befefore you make a backup of your songs, you will lose your songs.

Question regarding transfering tracks from current Zen Micro to new Zen V Pl

Thank You in advance to anyone who can assist me.
I just ordered a new Zen V Plus and will want to get all my tracks on it when it arri'ves. My current player is a Zen Micro 5GB and I've loved it but as of late have been having problems with one of the touch pad buttons and, of course, it's out of warrenty. I just found the Zen V Plus 4GB on sale for $59.99 which I feel is a great price point so I bought one. So regarding the issue of getting my music from the Micro to the V Plus, is there a way to transfer from one to the other or would I have to somehow transfer onto my PC then to the V Plus?
Second question I just thought of, Can I use a memory stick(USB Flash Dri've) to back-up my tracks?
Thanks again,
Mark in San Diego

Hi,
You could transfer the music content of your Zen Micro to your Zen V Plus without transferring it to the PC first. Do the following steps:
. Connect one player at a time in your PC (XP O/S) and make sure that both of the player is detected.
2. If Windows have detected it, click on the option Open to View Files.
3. Open up the Music folder of both players.
4. From there, copy and paste whatever music tracks you would like to transfer from Zen Micro to Zen V Plus.
It's a good idea to have a back up of all your data and you could use a USB Flash dri've to store it all.
Hope this hel
ps.

My MBA is being shipped, question about transferring files from old PB

Hey guys,
I just ordered a new 13" MBA and am anxiously awaiting for it to arrive... I currently have a 12" Powerbook G4 with 10.5.8 that I use an external drive to back up with time machine.
My question is this; when I get my MBA will I be able to use the time machine back up to migrate my files even though my old computer has an older version of Mac OS on it?

A Basic Guide for Migrating to Intel-Macs
The Knowledgebase article Intel-based Mac: Some migrated applications may need to be updated refers to methods of dealing with migrating from PowerPC chips to Intel with the Migration Assistant safely. The authors of this tip have not had a chance to verify this works in all instances, or that it avoids the 10.6.1 and earlier Guest Account bug that caused account information to get deleted upon use of the Migration/Setup Assistant. However, a well backed up source that includes at least two backups of all the data that are not connected to your machine will help you avoid potential issues, should they arise. In event it does not work, follow the steps below.
If you are migrating a PowerPC system (G3, G4, or G5) to an Intel-Mac be careful what you migrate. Keep in mind that some items that may get transferred will not work on Intel machines and may end up causing your computer's operating system to malfunction.
Rosetta supports "software that runs on the PowerPC G3, G4, or G5 processor that are built for Mac OS X". This excludes the items that are not universal binaries or simply will not work in Rosetta:
Classic Environment, and subsequently any Mac OS 9 or earlier applications
Screensavers written for the PowerPC
System Preference add-ons
All Unsanity Haxies
Browser and other plug-ins
Contextual Menu Items
Applications which specifically require the PowerPC G5
Kernel extensions
Java applications with JNI (PowerPC) libraries
See also What Can Be Translated by Rosetta.
In addition to the above you could also have problems with migrated cache files and/or cache files containing code that is incompatible.
If you migrate a user folder that contains any of these items, you may find that your Intel-Mac is malfunctioning. It would be wise to take care when migrating your systems from a PowerPC platform to an Intel-Mac platform to assure that you do not migrate these incompatible items.
If you have problems with applications not working, then completely uninstall said application and reinstall it from scratch. Take great care with Java applications and Java-based Peer-to-Peer applications. Many Java apps will not work on Intel-Macs as they are currently compiled. As of this time Limewire, Cabos, and Acquisition are available as universal binaries. Do not install browser plug-ins such as Flash or Shockwave from downloaded installers unless they are universal binaries. The version of OS X installed on your Intel-Mac comes with special compatible versions of Flash and Shockwave plug-ins for use with your browser.
The same problem will exist for any hardware drivers such as mouse software unless the drivers have been compiled as universal binaries. For third-party mice the current choices are USB Overdrive or SteerMouse. Contact the developer or manufacturer of your third-party mouse software to find out when a universal binary version will be available.
Also be careful with some backup utilities and third-party disk repair utilities. Disk Warrior 4.1, TechTool Pro 4.6.1, SuperDuper 2.5, and Drive Genius 2.0.2 work properly on Intel-Macs with Leopard. The same caution may apply to the many "maintenance" utilities that have not yet been converted to universal binaries. Leopard Cache Cleaner, Onyx, TinkerTool System, and Cocktail are now compatible with Leopard.
Before migrating or installing software on your Intel-Mac check MacFixit's Rosetta Compatibility Index.
Additional links that will be helpful to new Intel-Mac users:

Apple Guide to Universal Applications
MacInTouch List of Compatible Universal Binaries
MacInTouch List of Rosetta Compatible Applications

Transferring data with Setup Assistant - Migration Assistant FAQ
Because Migration Assistant isn't the ideal way to migrate from PowerPC to Intel Macs, using Target Disk Mode, copying the critical contents to CD and DVD, an external hard drive, or networking
will work better when moving from PowerPC to Intel Macs. The initial section below discusses Target Disk Mode. It is then followed by a section which discusses networking with Macs that lack Firewire.
If both computers support the use of Firewire then you can use the following instructions:
1. Repair the hard drive and permissions using Disk Utility.
2. Backup your data. This is vitally important in case you make a mistake or there's some other problem.
3. Connect a Firewire cable between your old Mac and your new Intel Mac.
4. Startup your old Mac in Target Disk Mode.
5. Startup your new Mac for the first time, go through the setup and registration screens, but do NOT migrate data over. Get to your desktop on the new Mac without migrating any new data over.
If you are not able to use a Firewire connection (for example you have a Late 2008 MacBook that only supports USB:)
1. Set up a local home network: Creating a small Ethernet Network.
2. If you have a MacBook Air or Late 2008 MacBook see the following:
MacBook (13-inch, Aluminum, Late 2008) and MacBook Pro (15-inch, Late 2008)- Migration Tips and Tricks;

MacBook Air- Migration Tips and Tricks;
MacBook Air- Remote Disc, Migration, or Remote Install Mac OS X and wireless 802.11n networks.
Copy the following items from your old Mac to the new Mac:
In your /Home/ folder: Documents, Movies, Music, Pictures, and Sites folders.
In your /Home/Library/ folder:
/Home/Library/Application Support/AddressBook (copy the whole folder)
/Home/Library/Application Support/iCal (copy the whole folder)
Also in /Home/Library/Application Support (copy whatever else you need including folders for any third-party applications)
/Home/Library/Keychains (copy the whole folder)
/Home/Library/Mail (copy the whole folder)
/Home/Library/Preferences/ (copy the whole folder)
/Home /Library/Calendars (copy the whole folder)
/Home /Library/iTunes (copy the whole folder)
/Home /Library/Safari (copy the whole folder)
If you want cookies:
/Home/Library/Cookies/Cookies.plist
/Home/Library/Application Support/WebFoundation/HTTPCookies.plist
For Entourage users:
Entourage is in /Home/Documents/Microsoft User Data
Also in /Home/Library/Preferences/Microsoft
Credit goes to Macjack for this information.
If you need to transfer data for other applications please ask the vendor or ask in the Discussions where specific applications store their data.
5. Once you have transferred what you need restart the new Mac and test to make sure the contents are there for each of the applications.

Waveburner; a few Questions regarding track files and Session Data

After a bit of negotiating, I'm almost ready to burn. Was having problems with file locations and discovered that i had multiple files in different locations. Those have been eliminated and all relative track files are in one place now with the Song Data File as well.
I then re-imported the individual aif tracks only to find that all of my fades and edits are GONE. It appears that I may have to DO THEM ALL OVER AGAIN! Please tell me that there is a work around.
Is it possible to import only the Session Data related to the fades and edits(everything but the actual audio files), so as to avoid all this "do-again" work?
I was also wonder if it is necessary, or perhaps a good idea, to change the File INFO for each of the individual audio track files from "OpenWith" iTunes (default setting) to "Open With": WAVEBURNER ?. (selectable on the aiff files, "Show More Info" window
Currently the aif files are set to "OpenWith" iTunes (default)
One last question please.
Is Waveburner really up to snuff? How many people are using this for Mastering and Burning CD's? I'm about to start inserting some AU Mastering Plug Ins and I'm hoping for the best. Any other suggestions are greatly appreciated.

You're grammer isn't bad jord, it was I who asked a plethora of questions under one Subject heading.
When i open the project file(.wb3),
The prompt says;
"Please choose a replacement from the list below:"
/Volumes/320GB HD/Users/ahuihou/.Trash/1 Track 01.aiff
/Volumes/320GB HD/Users/ahuihou/.Trash/2 Track 02.aiff
/Volumes/320GB HD/Users/ahuihou/.Trash/3 Track 03.aiff
/Volumes/320GB HD/Users/ahuihou/.Trash/4 Track 04.aiff
/Volumes/320GB HD/Users/ahuihou/.Trash/6 Track 06.aiff
As you can see the files are in the trash.
The first problem is that there are no actual files in the trash. Just an icon of a CD Disc which was dragged there to eject it, It is no longer in the disc drive/tray. Perhaps i should put the disc back in the drive and then update/replace the files afterwords. (The CD is scratched.)
The strange thing is that i can still preview the track that's in the trash by selecting More Info and playing it on the little Quicktime player bar. I guess the file is in a cache somewhere?
I've looked everywhere on all drives for the specific files but can not find them anywhere.
In the Replacement prompt there is a place that I can check to "Search in the same folder for subsequent files" button on the "Replacement" prompt.
which "same folder" is it refering to?
The Trash folder where the old files are or the Folder where the actual .wb3 project file is? I do have all of the correctly named song files/regions in the same folder with the project file.
maybe i should just start again. i'm not one to give up easy though and would much prefer to "beat" the computer at the game.

Transferring files to a new computer

I have both an IPOD 20G and a Nano. On my old computer, the Nano is its own playlist within my library. I got a new computer and want to transfer files for both.
I have so many songs that I do not wish to burn them all on cds and reload. Not all of my songs came from itunes, some were uploaded or downloaded from other sources so I dont want to lose those either.
I followed the directions to manual update and enable disk use. When I get on to my new computer, I try to move the file from my ipod by dragging it to my new itunes file. When I pull it up, my new library is empty and all my music and playlists just so up under "my devices". So clearly it never transferred to the new location. I can only listen the music when the IPOD is connected. I have not even attempted to try to update my nano yet.
I tried copying my files to an external hard drive and then transferring them the new computer and only some of them transferred.
Anyone have any easy, step by step methods for transferring my old library to my new computer complete with playlists and all. I start from scratch with my nano if I have to, I just dont want to lose my library.
Thanks

I did copy the entire Itune library from the old computere to the new computer. After downloading/updating the itunes software on the new computerI went to open the itune file--all the music is there but no playlists. Also when you connect the ipod to the computer, if you allow it to sync it wants to erase all the music on the ipod. I need to keep until I get the playlists on the new computer--the ipod is the thing that has them now.

Another question regarding smil files and NPR

I'm having troube listening to NPR smil files. I've read the previous posts regarding this issue, but seem to be experiencing a different twist. There are no files downloading to play when I click on "listen". When I click the "listen" button a QT safari screen appears and I get a spinning arrow with heading "downloading". However, nothing ever downloads to my desk top. This is very strange as just last weekend I downloaded NPR files and they were saved to my desktop as Real Time files and I was able to play with them with no problem. I've done nothing to QT or RT in the mean time.
I've tried the previous suggestions posted of going to the Get Info section of a previously downloaded smil file and changing the settings to say all smil files should play with RT - restarted my computer - nothing. Help!

Was able to figure this out myself. Had to go into QT preferences and elect to not play smil type files and go in to RT and re-elect to play smil files using RT. Restarted my computer and it works like a charm.

Capacity question regarding the 1.77 GB "Other" stuff on my Iphone

I am aware that the "Other" issue has been discussed many times, however as I searched those discussions I couldn't find an answer to my question.
I currently have 1.85 GB of free space. If I do a restore to fix the "Other" issue and keep exactly the same amount of apps, music, video, photos, etc as I currently have...will I have more free space after the restore than 1.85 GB?
Also I am playing an 3rd party app game that saves my progress...will I lose my data and have to start over from the beginning if I do a restore?
Thanks!

More than likely you won't gain any storage capacity. If your "Other" is that large, some iTunes content is not labeled properly.
iTunes creates and maintains a backup for your iPhone which includes data such as most iPhone settings, email account settings, contact info, SMS messages, notes, recent calls, call favorites, 3rd party app settings and data created and stored by a 3rd party app, and photos available in your iPhone's Camera Roll.
Before restoring if you have any photos in your iPhone's Camera Roll, you should import these photos by your computer. After importing the photos from your iPhone's Camera Roll, sync your iPhone with iTunes immediately before restoring to update your iPhone's backup if needed.
When restoring, your iPhone will be erased followed by the current firmware version being re-installed. After the firmware is installed, you will be prompted to restore your iPhone from your iPhone's backup, which is the default selection.
This must be followed by a sync.

General question regarding environment files in APPL_TOP

Hi. I will be passing my OCP (hopefully) next month and I am now turning my head to teh Applications side since my job involves a lot of Oracle Financials.
I just did a clean installation of 11.5.10.2 but at the level of seeting environment files, my boss swooped in and did them all. I would love to know which ones need changing, or even which ones do what ...
I am using the Oracle doc Re: Generate the Database Context File
to follow with, but what I see before me in our own (9i, AIX 5.2) set up doesnt always mirror what the doc says.
I need some general information about these env. files. In our <ORA>APPL directory we have the following env. files:
APPSORA.env
DEV.env
DEV_davidcl.env
APPSDEV_davidcl.env
DAVIDCUST.env (I have changed our firm's name to David)
In the doc, it explains that there is a "main applications env file", and a consolidated applications file". <CONTEXT_NAME>.env and APPS<CONTEXT_NAME>.env respectively. Which ones are those in my directory listing?
I have also checked in the .profile of the appcldev and the appdbdev users, and they both point to the same two environment files -
$APPL_TOP/DAVIDCUST.env
and
$APPL_TOP/APPSORA.env
Sorry this is a bit scrambled message - is there any other source out there to explain environment files?
Thanks
DA

Thanks - they are the same! That's why the DEV_davidcl.env has all the parameters that according to the doc APPDDEV_davidcl.env should have.
Thanks - very helpful. The DBA here never has any time to explain this stuff, since I think he's been doing it for so long that he doenst understand why anyone would not know it too. Its very hard working for him sometimes since nothing is explained.
All of my questions are stemming from this clean installation of 11.5.2 that I have done.
I am still wondering about the .profiles of each user we have on the system though. I understand that we had to copy the profiles from TEST to this, our DEV side, then we edited the profiles to match the DEV parameters. Fine.....but the actual .env files themselves - I am looking at them and dont understand at all.
Each .profile and each user are as follows:
appdbdev:
appdbdev@TEST:more .profile
APPL_TOP=/oradbi3/oracle/testappl;export APPL_TOP
. $APPL_TOP/DAVIDCUST.env
. $APPL_TOP/APPSORA.env
appcldev:
appcldev@TEST:more .profile
APPL_TOP=/oracli3/oracle/devappl;export APPL_TOP
. $APPL_TOP/DAVIDCUST.env
. $APPL_TOP/APPSORA.env
So these two, both on the cl node, appear to be pointing to same env files.
Then comes the db node:
oradbdev:
oradbdev@TEST:more .profile
. /oradbi3/oracle/devdb/9.2.0/DEV_daviddb.env
. /oradbi3/oracle/devappl/DAVIDCUST.env
I think I can understand the .env that are pointed to on the cl node, but I dont understand the oradbdev .profile, since its pointing to oradbi3/oracledevdb for one env file, then oradbi3/oracle/devappl for another.
I asked our DBA about this, and he said "dont worry about it". I have to try and run the script to start the application server this morning, but every time I try to su to the db node user I get this:
doralcl:/> su - appdbdev
.profile[2]: /oradbi3/oracle/devappl/DAVIDCUST.env: not found.
Like I mentioned, I pinted this out to our DBA and he told me not to worry.
