Switching from Sony Sonicstage to iTunes

Does anyone know the possibility of switching my 12,000 OpenMG formatted songs into iTunes? I had Sony - now am switching to Apple.

hiya!
i believe that this depends on what version of SonicStage you currently have.
according to Wikipedia, version 3.4 allows you to convert some files from the Sony formats into WAV files:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SonicStage
a WAV file can generally be added to itunes:
iTunes: About the Add to Library, Import, and Convert functions
... and converted to the compressed AAC and MP3 formats (or the uncompressed AIFF or Apple Lossless formats) in itunes:
iTunes: How to convert a song to a different file format
... which can be transferred to an ipod:
iPod: About compatible song formats
(it might be worth checking into this at a SonicStage-focussed forum, too.)
love, b

How do I transfer music from Sony MP3 into itunes

I have had an old sony MP3 which died and got an Ipod Touch for xmas. I have read the instructions on how to install music from computer into Itunes but it is not working.
Any ideas

Hi Tracey.
One of the simplest methods of importing existing music files into iTunes is to open iTunes, and use the File | Import... menu option. You can then browse to where your music is currently stored, and select the entire folder, or individual files. iTunes will then inspect these files, copy them into the iTunes library, and then report any problems or issues encountered.
Can you tell us where the process of getting your existing MP3s into iTunes seems to be falling down?

I need to transition my 1st Generation Apple TV from an older instance of iTunes to a new instance of iTunes on my brand new Mac... How do I "switch" from one instance of iTunes to another? How do I get the 5 Digit Code Network to come back on my Screen?

I need to transition my 1st Generation Apple TV from an older instance of iTunes on my iBook to a new instance of iTunes on my new Mac... How do I get the 5 digit Network code to come back? Is there anyway for 1st Generation Apple TV to be synched to two instances of iTunes or do I have to choose one or the other? I appreciate any advice or suggestions. Thanks!

The 5 digit code is every time different. That does not matter. Just integrate every device into your network.
You can connect many computers to Apple TV but syncronisation works exactly with one computer. That's why I use "streaming". But you can sync one computer, then another, and so on. The content on your Apple TV is the content from your computer that has synced last. But you can not mix it.
The new Apple TV has no syncronisation. Everything is streamed,

Switching from PC to Mac Itunes purchased music

Having recently made the move from pc to mac I backed up all my music on my old pc and transferred it onto my mac. All the music shows up on Itunes but when I downloaded it onto my 5G ipod the music purchased from Istore will not download??? any clues would be appreciated!!

Play one of the songs purchased from the iTunes store while connected to the Internet; this will authorize the Mac to play the music and enable its transfer to the iPod from the iMac.

Switching from Windows to Mac(iTunes question!!)

Okay so I have an account on iTunes and have bought alot of stuff. I have a video iPod and my parents just orderd me a macbook for my birthday. Okay so is there a way I can make sure my library and account and everything can be on my macbook too? One time I tried to plug my iPod into my friends computer to put her shows on my iPod and it went cuckoo.
How can I make sure I move my whole library over to my macbook? xD I'm new at this.

Don't worry about the 'friends computer' situation coming up again. You're working with your own library and you are merely moving it to a different computer. Lots of ways to get your music and video files onto the MacBook.
Your family have a network? (Could be the easiest way.)
You could burn all the files to DVD's or CD's. (You should already have all your media backed up anyways)
As already said, flash drives are also a possibility.
Just copy/move the media files to the macbook. Then authorize the macbook. Authorizing is found under the "Store" iTunes menu item. You can authorize up to 5 computers to play media purchased from the iTunes Store.
You don't have to "take your account" over to the macbook. When you visit the iTunes store when using your macbook just sign in with your existing account ID and password and you'll be good to go.
Hey, enjoy the mac world you are entering. I'm a relatively new adopter and am really happy with it.

Switching from pc to mac: itunes library help

I recently witched from a clunky old pc to a beautiful new aluminum imac. I imported my itunes library a week ago, and i has been seamless. But today i realize im missing the games in my library. I tried dragging the files to the library, importing it, etc... but it doesnt work. What do I do? I dont want to buy them again.

I used an external HD. I simply copied the entire itunes folder and dragged it into the mac's music folder. Everything, including playlists, ratings, etc. are there. the games files are there too, just not in the itunes library. I drag/import/ into itunes, it doesn't work.

How to switch from payment type to itunes gift card?

Hi, i'm having trouble with my itunes i wanted to stop using my credit debit card and just use itunes gift cards but i'm having trouble changing the payment considering the fact i tried all things including clicking none when in fact there's no "none on the payment edit page. I'm frustrated, confused, and a bit upset. I need help anything to get this fixed and if you have too make it simple i have a hard time understanding complexed answers.

fact there's no "none on the payment edit page.
If the total cost of the purchase including any applicable taxes and fees exceeds the balance from a redeemed gift card, the difference is charged to your credit or debit card account.
When you sign into iTunes you don't see this ... ??
Just to make sure your system software is up to date click your Apple menu top left in your screen. From the drop down menu click Software Update...

Switched from Windows to MAC Itunes purchase problems

Greetings all -
I transferred from a PC to an imac, with a new ipod as well. The transition of all my music went smooth, however there are about 29 tracks (out of 100) that i purchased through itunes that will not play. There are plenty of tracks that i purchased that play without any problems. It keeps asking me to authorize my mac. Which i've done, many times, when i click play, it asks me to authorize the computer again. What gives?
Please help.
thanks

Is it possible that these songs were purchased with a different iTunes account, that your computer has not been authorized for?
If you continue to have authorization problems you may want to email the iTunes store support, as they're really the only people who have access to your account information, and may be able to get a better understanding of the complete issue. You can use a form on this page to e-mail them:

Sony SonicStage-Has anyone successfully moved tunes from that to iTunes?

I downloaded a bunch of tunes from Sony SonicStage, but I have had no luck getting them moved over to my iTunes library. I have tried moving the whole folder and each individual song. Any advice?

rcskcs, I gave you the same answer on your other post. Please do not duplicate post. As I said before, because of Sony's DRM, these files are not directly compatible with iTunes. You will have to burn to an audio CD, if possible.

Whenever I change from My Music to iTunes Store and then back to My Music, it sends me to the top of My Music instead of where I was when i switched. How can I get it to return to where I was when I switch out of and back into My Music?

Firefox will reload a page and reposition at the top if the copy in the cache has expired. However, that shouldn't happen right away.
When you have a problem with one particular site, a good "first thing to try" is clearing your Firefox cache and deleting your saved cookies for the site.
(1) Bypass Firefox's Cache
Use Ctrl+Shift+r to reload the page fresh from the server.
Alternately, you also can clear Firefox's cache completely using:
orange Firefox button (or Tools menu) > Options > Advanced
On the Network mini-tab > Cached Web Content : "Clear Now"
If you have a large hard drive, this might take a few minutes.
(2) Remove the site's cookies (save any pending work first). While viewing a page on the site:
* right-click and choose View Page Info > Security > "View Cookies"
* Alt+t (open the classic Tools menu) > Page Info > Security > "View Cookies"
Then try reloading the page. Does that help?

I have the iPhone 4. I recently switched from PC to IMac. I am trying to sync my iPhone, but iTunes will not let me add or remove anything. Do I need to change a setting since I changed computers? Help!

I have the iPhone 4. I recently switched from PC to IMac. I am trying to sync my iPhone, but iTunes will not let me add or remove anything. Do I need to change a setting since I changed computers? I try to add songs from my music into my phone section and it will not go... Plus the playlists on my phone are not updated on my iTunes phone on my computer. Its like it never updated. What am I doing wrong??

Iphone will sync with one computer at a time.
When you sync to another it will delete the current content.
Make sure you have copied everything from your old computer to your new one first.

Is it possible to switch from the preinstalled iTunesU to the original iTunes on an iPad. If it is can someone explain how to do it?

Is it possible to switch from the preinstalled iTunesU on my iPad to the original iTunes. If it is can someone tell me how, and is this something that commonly happens?

I'm not sure what you are asking. There is no "preinstalled iTunesU" on an iPad. The iTunes app is a portal to the iTunes Store. Use the icons at the bottom of the page to switch to different sections of the store. Use the Music app or the Videos app to access iTunes media you have synced to the iPad.
To learn more, refer to the iPad iOS5 User Guide

How do you switch from one iTunes account to another on your apple tv?

How do you switch from one iTunes account to another on your apple tv?

Welcome to the Apple community.
I assume you do mean a different account and not simply a different iTunes library. Unfortunately, in order to switch accounts, you would need to log out and log in to the second account.
