There should be a smoother way to transfer a folder of mus

I've been using the ZEN V Series Media Explorer to copy music to my Zen V Plus. It ought to be possible to copy a folder of music from my hard dri've to my Creative Zen V Plus player, automatically creating a playlist having the same name as the folder. The current mechanism for creating a playlist requires at least four separate steps and is far too cumbersome.

This is my number one gripe. On my old Creative player I made different folders and dragged them and there they were. Now some some retards have come up with a cluster F method that I have given up on it's such a pain. I just dump the track and then go to rarely heard so I can find it.
I have made some noise about this but I don't think Creative could care less or that they see it as a problem. Clearly no one in the company actually uses these things or they would be as annoyed as we are.
I will never understand this kind of foolishness on such a major issue as file transferring.

My computer had a virus and had to be cleaned, but I had my Mozilla bookmarks in a Word file now located on my Desktop. There should be an easy way to drag the bookmarks to the new Mozilla. Can you tell me how in simple straightforward steps? Thanks.

If the Word file is a document file type (.doc), you may be able to save it as a .html file, then import that .html file into Firefox.
In Word, open the .doc file containing the Bookmarks,
*click File > Save As,
*in the "Save in" box, choose a Folder or location on your hard drive to save the file where you can find it later,
*in the "Save type as" box choose ".html",
*in the "Filename box" enter "bookmarks.html" (without the quotation marks),
*click "Save"
Then follow the-edmeister's instruction in Firefox:
*Bookmarks > Organize Bookmarks -> Import & Backup - Import HTML... = from an HTML file

Why do we have to activate individually all third party apps!!! There should be as easier way!

Why do we have to activate individually all third party apps!!! There should be as easier way! Apple TV is not Apple anymore...

Primarily because those third party apps are just that, they are not Apple apps, and each have their own requirements for activation.

There should be a better way , while burning a playlist!

I have the latest version of iTunes, and, yesterday, I downloaded an album, but, I ended up wasting three CDs before I got the answer from another music player. iTunes gave me no clue.
The problem: a 13-track playlist took about 20 sec. to burn. I, even, remade the playlist. I was getting the list of songs when I put the CD in the CD player drive, and they played, but my external CD player indicated that I had a single song, and nothing played. Finally, I played the CD with Winamp, which confirmed that I had a single DATA file. I remember trying to burn some data a while back, so I changed my settings for burning, and they were set for Data. There was no further problem after changing to CD (burning DATA files, ironically, did not work).
I can understand the problem, but I am still wondering why iTunes tries to confuse me every time I try to make changes in my preferences, telling me that I "don't have enough permissions", although I am the administrator.
Then, changes to the format are not obvious, and I get no notice that I am burning music files as data. There are enough lame questioning about certain actions, but not for something so important. Why I am not asked:"are you sure that you want to burn the album as Data".
I think that this is a bug, if I ever seen one, and the permissions thing makes it worse.
Finally, why is not possible to leave notices like I did here. Typically, support is either here, or miserable if requested from Apple. There should be a way.
I understand my problem,

I am still wondering why iTunes tries to confuse me every time I try to make changes in my preferences, telling me that I "don't have enough permissions", although I am the administrator.
That's clearly a fault. Whether it's an iTunes problem or a Windows problem I can't say at this time. If you search the Using iTunes for Windows forum for "permissions", you should find threads that can help you sort out this problem.
Then, changes to the format are not obvious, and I get no notice that I am burning music files as data.
If you click on a playlist and look at the lower-right of the iTunes window, it says right there what format it will use to burn the playlist.

Is there any way to transfer photos from ipod touch (2nd generation

Is there any way to transfer photos from ipod touch (2nd generation & OS is 4.2.1) to PC? I am struggling a lot. The OS cannot be upgradable beyond 4.2.1
I am wondering if there could be many other ways to transfer the photos like:
1. with the help of any android app
2. ipod touch to iphone/ipod latest version
3. any 3rd party free softwares (there are paid 3rd party softwares but I dont want to invest)
I did try some of the options:
1. I could emailed only 6 photos in one email (I have almost 800 photos and would be time consuming.
2. I'm trying to access my google account on my ipod but it keeps coming up with "oops! your browser seems to have cookies disabled..." My cookies are not disabled. Safari is the only browser for ipod touch and could not be able to installed not only any new browser but also any iphone apps. Updates for the existing apps not possible at all. So this option of uploading the photos on google drive is ruled out.
Anybody is there to help me out? Sorry for such a long inventory.
Thank you!

If they are in the iPod' Saved Photos album then:
iOS: Importing personal photos and videos from iOS devices to your computer
If they were synced to the iPod you need a third-party program like TouchCopy or PhoneView

Implement a way to transfer from a Spotify account created using Facebook to a Spotify only account

I have noticed an increase in posts recently relating to people who wish to deactivate their Facebook accounts, but if they do so they will also loose access to their Spotify account, since it was created using their Facebook details.
There should be an easy way to change your Spotify account, from a Spotify account which is tied to Facebook, to a Spotify (email only) account without the need to go through the quite long process outlined in my tutorial here.
This relates quite closely to being able to change your username idea, but I think this is different issue!
Please please please implement this!
Peter

Thanks so much to everyone!
At the moment, we're unable to implement the idea suggested above for a few reasons. As a few of you have noticed, our system currently doesn't support the changing of usernames since playlists are tied to usernames. Many folks who created accounts via Facebook before we implemented an email registration option would like the option to "transfer" their account to another.
You can indeed follow the instructions in Peter's aforementioned guide to transfer your account. Moreover, we understand the want for a simpler way to move to an email created an account instead of a Facebook created account. However, we won't implement an option to "transfer" your account at this time.
If you have any questions about how to transfer your account, follow Peter's guide for the quick fix or contact customer support.

Is there a way to transfer music I've purchased from my old Apple account to my new one?

Hi everyone,
Many moons ago, when the iPod came out I downloaded iTunes and setup an account using my then current e-mail address aka user ID for iTunes. However, fast forward about 8 years later and that old e-mail address has long been forgotten. I know the log in information but I haven't used the e-mail for communication purposes for about the last 3 years. At the time I got myself a new e-mail address I just continued to download from the iTunes store using the same account with the old e-mail address because basically I was never really concerned with getting the receipts, weekly updates, etc. (I get enough e-mail as it is, lol).
This past summer my husband bought me an iPhone and set it up for me using my new/current e-mail address, different from the one I had purchased 100's of iTunes songs with over the past 8 years or so. It seems as though while I can authorize iTunes for both of the accounts, and share the music on different computers, I can only transfer the ones I've downloaded with my new username/e-mail address from iTunes to my iPhone?! What do I do about all of the 100's of purchases I made with my other account, are they now worth nothing as far as getting them on my iPhone which I use as my iPod nowadays?!
I'm staring at my lucky bamboo as I type this because I get this feeling that I'm SOL . I've tried "googling" my way to the answer but I haven't been able to find it. And if it turns out I am, than shame on Apple. It's ridiculous to presume that someone will keep the same e-mail address created as a kid which is typically a non-sense, flashy e-mail to adulthood when they tend to be a little more reserved and business friendly; there should be a way to transfer between user accounts if it's clear that that account and billing information is the same.
Any help is appreicated.
Thanks.

Zion,
This worked! ...about 50%, but I suppose that's better than nothing. I went into iTunes on my old username and downloaded the 300+ songs to my library but then for some reason when I went to transfer them to my iPhone it would only transfer like 120 or so of them. I'm not really sure why but I'll continue to work on it. Thanks so much for the help.
FYI - if anyone else reads this bc they have the same problem. If you choose to go this route and download previous purchases from your old account you cannot auto download any content on your new(er) apple ID for 90 days after the purchase download. Just something to keep in mind, but for me, it was totally worth it. I have no qualms about manually transferring the songs to my iPhone for the next 3 months if it meant getting the rights to transfer all my old songs to my iPhone.
Thanks again!

Is there a way to transfer Microsoft Office from my old one to the new one?

Setup Assistant (or Migration Assistant, if you decide to migrate your account later) should transfer everything required.

My family shared an Itunes account and now i'm moving out and have created a new account solely for myself. Is there a way to transfer my previous purchases on the family account to my new account?

In order to continue to play and sync the music you purchased with your old account, you'll need to authorize your new computer/iTunes library to do so. You can do this by choosing Store -> Authorize This Computer and then entering in your old account credentials.
That's all you should need to. Then just create your own account and start purchasing and using it the same you have with the old one.

Is there a way to transfer subtitles (text) from one iMovie file to another?

Hi,
I spent literally hours of my life using iMovie 09 to add subtitles to a video before realising that I'd added them to the wrong one! You see, when I imported the video that I actually wanted to add subtitles to, instead of showing up at the top of the "Last Import" screen which would have made sense, it showed up at the bottom - below another version of the same video that I had imported into iMovie a month earlier. I didn't even remember doing this so didn't think twice about spending hours meticulously adding subtitles to this file. It's only when I got to the end of it that I saw the other video and nearly passed out from disbelief and anger....
Anyway, before I go through the whole painful process again, I just wanted to make sure that there's not a way to transfer the subtitles I did for the wrong video onto the right video? If there is, and someone could tell me how, I will love you forever.
Thanks!
P.S. Why is iMovie 09 not an option in the dropdown menu?

You should be keeping them all on your computer. You can just sync them to your new idevice
You can also redownload them.

Is there a way to transfer contacts from Mac Address Book to an iPhone?

I tried posting this before but no one answered. I dont currently have an iphone (or any smartphone). I do have a Mac and I have my contacts in the Mac Address Book (not in an email client like Gmail, Yahoo, or Hotmail)
I want to know if I get an iphone is there an easy way to transfer contacts (names, addresses, emails etc) and especially HOME/WORK/CELL Phone numbers from the Address Book on the Macbook Pro to the iphone....
I would think there's a way to do that since both the Mac and the iphone are Apple products....but no one has been able to give me a straight answer on this...except to transfer contacts from Gmail but my contacts are not in Gmail
So if I get an iphone (or probably any phone) do I have to manually enter all my contacts each time? I thought that it would be easier with an iphone than an Android or other smartphone.

I appreciate the link but wasnt really looking to go through a 100+ page iphone guide. From what I saw, it said what other people have told me - which is it will sync contacts from Google (Gmail) or Yahoo...so that doesnt mean it will sync contacts directly from an Android phone's contact list. All the manual said was you sync thru itunes.
It looks like what I should do at some point is manually input all my contacts into a new "clean and unused" Gmail account...Unless there was an easy way to transfer my Mac Address Book to a Gmail Account.
It seems like if you have contacts in a Gmail account, it will be easy to transfer anywhere.
Im starting to wonder if an Android would be bette than an iphone anyway. Considering the nightmare time Ive had with a Mac in just a few months, Im surprised Im even still considering another Apple product.
Thanks

Is there any way to transfer photos, music from my PC to my new iPad(3)?

Is there any way to transfer photos, music, from my PC to my new iPad(3)?

Another way. You can use a USB flash drive & the camera connection kit.
Plug the USB flash drive into your computer & create a new folder titled DCIM. Then put your movie/photo files into the folder. The files must have a filename with exactly 8 characters long (no spaces) plus the file extension (i.e., my-movie.mov; DSCN0164.jpg).
Now plug the flash drive into the iPad using the camera connection kit. Open the Photos app, the movie/photo files should appear & you can import. (You can not export using the camera connection kit.)

I have an old ipod (5th gen) and I downloaded itunes to my toshiba computer. It says my ipod was formatted by mcintosh and must be restored before i can use on windows. is there a way to transfer my music? ty

Not without installing additional software on your computer. The problem is that your Windows PC cannot read the Mac's disk format. If the iPod was previously used on a Mac, its storage uses the Mac's disk format. The Restore process reformats the iPod's disk for use with Windows, but this erases its current content.
There are third-party products that allow Windows to read the Mac's disk format. For example
http://www.mediafour.com/products/macdrive
However, even if your computer is able to read the Mac's disk format, iTunes cannot be used to transfer song files from iPod to computer (except for songs purchased from the iTunes Store). But there are third-party methods and utilities that can transfer from iPod to computer. If you do an Internet search on something like "ipod transfer," you should get some links.
So, you may be able to do it by first making the iPod's disk readable on a Windows PC, and then using a method (that is not iTunes) to transfer its song files to your computer's drive. After the song files are on your computer, you can add them to the iTunes library.
