You should take the time to familiarize yourself with the documentation that is available.  You can "uncheck" a song in iTunes, and then do a manual update.

    You will need that library copied from the old computer. If not, then you can take a look at this in getting 3rd party software to recover your library from the iPod. Syncing to a "New" Computer or replacing a "crashed" Hard Drive

  • HT4236 I've run out of room on my hard drive. I bought an external drive and exported all my albums to the external drive then deleted the albums from iPhoto. I want to sync both from my ext drive and new albums in iPhoto. No dice. Help!

    I've run out of room on my hard drive. I bought an external drive and exported all my albums to the external drive then deleted the albums from iPhoto. I want to sync both from my ext drive and new albums in iPhoto. My photos on the devices get wiped out when I sync to iPhoto since I deleted all the albums. But when I sync to my hard drive (where I maintained the album structure) the photos are copied to my iPad but lose all the hierarchy and folder structure. Now I have to scroll through thousands of photos to try to find the one I'm looking for. Before I sync any more devices I want to know the following: 1) can I restore the album structure on my iPad by using the photo cache? 2) is there a way to sync both new iPhoto albums AND pictures in the folders in my hard drive? And 3) how can I keep the photo hierarchy structure from my hard drive intact on my devices?

    Don't do that.
    Copy /Photos/Photo library/ to the external.
    Hold Option and launch iPhoto.
    Select Choose library and select the Photo library you copied to the external.

  • I need to get the music off my Ipod Nano 2nd GEN onto either ITunes or in a music foldes on my new computer. Not all the music was purchased from Apple Itunes HOW DO I DO THIS WITHOUT LOOSING ALL MY MUSIC??

    I have not had a computer for several years and I just got a new one. My old computer got a virus and when that happened all my music was lost. Thank goodness I had it all on my Ipod Nano 2nd GEN. Now my problem is that I don't know how to get the music off my Ipod Nano onto my new computer!!! I was able to get the songs that I purchased thru ITunes by just authorizing my new computer. But I have alot more music that is on my Ipod nano that I can't put into my ITunes library. In fact, I can't even get my music into a file folder on my computer!! I really need help. I don't have any copies of the music anywhere else and some of it is hard to get. How do I get my music either into ITunes or into a file folder on my new computer or even if I could get my computer to recognize my Ipod and sync all the music into windows media or something like that. Every time I connect my IPod all that happens is that it tells me if I sync the IPod that it will replace all the music from my ITunes library on to my IPod. And I am guessing that means all my music on the IPod will be erased. PLEASE HELP ME!!!! Thanks from the bottom of my songsters heart

    From the OP: "My old computer got a virus and when that happened all my music was lost. "
    They don't have the music on their computer so they cannot transfer the iTunes folder, from the computer to their iPod and then to the new computer. And if they try to enable disk use on the iPod it will erase all the music that is on it. The method you cited is moving the files in a data format using the iPod as a flash drive. It doesn't work if they are in music format. That is why I suggested Yamipod.

  • I have my iMovies in QuickTime format on an external drive. Is there anyway to show them from the external drive without putting them into iTunes?

    I havei my personal iMovies in QuickTime format on an external drive. I prefer not to have to import them into my iTunes library which is nearly 1GB already. Is there any way to play them from my MacBook Pro through Apple TV 2 without importing them into iTunes?

    Just wanted to add a little to the excellent comments from those above... I have debated on adding the content to iTunes or just accessing the content through some folder structure.
    What has worked best for me and my family:
    use VideoDrive - http://www.aroona.net/VideoDrive/Home.html to import the videos/tvshows into iTunes and make them in the correct format for my iPad/iPhone/AppleTV devices in the house. This software is cheap and excellent and make the adding of content to iTunes (i everything) easy!
    I store my videos on a usb 2tb drive and my tvshows on a different usb 2tb drive. And I swap a drive out every year or so and give old drive away to family/friends. That way my media drives are new(ish) and 1 drive is never older than 2 years.
    for media that I don't want to add to iTunes I still use AirVideo as it is an excellent piece of software. I also use AirVideo to allow me to access content on my home network over the internet.
    my "media server" is a simple 4 year old intel mac mini with 1 gig of ram best $700 I spent when I first flipped to all things mac. Family now have 2 mbp's, 2 iPads, 4 iphones and 1atv (2nd gen)
    I'm working on a document that shows how I did my setup - if you want to read more please feel free to download my preview - https://files.me.com/lee.gaupp/aq0gst

  • Why can I not sync my iPod Nano 3rd Gen to my iTunes 9.1.1?

    My daughter mistakenly downloaded the latest iTunes version which does not work with my older iPod Nano 3rd gen.  Before all this happened I was running version 9.1.1 which was working beautifully.  After uninstalling the updated version and reinstalling the 9.1.1 version, I cannot restore nor sync my music to the iPod Nano.  I would just be happy having things the way they were previously.  Any tips???  Thanks.

    Go to the Apple icon in the upper left corner and select 'About this Mac' - it will show you which version of OSX you are using.

  • Installing Maverick on my Mac lost almost all of the calendar entries. They are still on my iPhone and new entries move freely to both devices via iCloud. How do I get the entries from my iPhone to iCloud without losing them from iPhone?

    Like many others after I installed Maverick I found that all the calendar history has been lost and most of the forward info has also been lost. Also in order to get calendar, contacts and notes to sync with the iPhone I have had to move to iCloud. Contacts and notes sync fine. new calendar entries sync ok. My iPhone has all the calendar entries that were on the Mac before I installed Maverick. So far iCloud has not overwritten them nor have they synced onto iCloud.
    How can I get all the entries from my iPhone onto iCloud, without losing the only copy of my calendar from my iPhone?
    Thanks Apple for deciding to take over my privacy. I do not want this data stored on a US based server. Fortunately Mail still syncs via my own email provider. I guess Apple will find a way to stop that soon too!

    Greetings Nefertiti72,
    It seems you are experiencing an issue with contact syncing and management. It seems you've removed an email account which contained a number of contacts that are not associated with your iCloud account. I have linked to a knowledge base article which provides more information about iCloud contacts syncing:
    Get help using iCloud Contacts - Apple Support
    Learn what to do if you’re having issues using iCloud Contacts. For example, you might make changes to Contacts that don't update across all of your devices.
    You may want to consider importing the contacts from the email account you removed. You can do it easily by following the steps in this article:
    iCloud: Import a vCard
    You can import an electronic business card, also called a vCard, into iCloud Contacts. If the vCard contains contact information for more than one person, each contact becomes a separate entry.
    In iCloud Contacts, choose Import vCard from the Action pop-up menu , which appears at the bottom of the All Contacts list or a list of group contacts
    Select a vCard to import.
    The contacts from the vCard are added to the All Contacts group in Contacts. You can add the contacts to any other group by dragging them to the desired group.
    Thank you for contributing to Apple Support Communities.
    Best,

  • I lost all the music on my ipod nano trying to sync with itunes. Can I retrieve the songs?

  • I want to move files on my hard drive without 'losing' them in iTUnes

    I currently have lots of my music files stored in various folders in my hard drive (mp3 files created before I had an iPod and started using iTunes). I've got this music in my iTunes library, by using 'Add folder to library' prompt.
    However, since getting my iPod and ripping lots of music using iTunes, I'm liking the way iTunes collates my files within my specified iTunes folder, and want to move all my music files into this one folder so these old files can be collated in the same way.
    Obviously, if I just drap and drop these old files into my iTunes folder using Windows Explorer, iTunes will 'lose' the link to these tracks and I'll have to locate them again. My other thought is that I'd have to delete all these old tracks from my iTunes library, and then once I've moved them into my iTunes library, add them back in. I figure there must be an easier way.
    Is there an easy way of moving my older music files into my iTunes folder, but in a way that iTunes realises that I've moved them? Once I've done this, will iTunes automatically collate them in the same way it does with songs ripped using iTunes, or will I need to do this manually?
    Thanks in advance.

  • ITunes & Music Files on iPod Nano Corrupted after Update to iTunes 7.0.1

    I updated to latest version of iTunes. Now I can't load my music onto it, since iTunes won't recognize it. I have tried all recommended fixes by Support website. So, I looked at the files on my iPod. I can't access either the iTunes file or the Music file. Windows tells me they are corrupted. It also tells me to run "chkdsk".
    Three questions:
    Should I run chkdsk?
    How do I run chkdsk?
    If chkdsk fails, can I go into DOS and erase these two files on my iPod? (I think that I can remember how to do that!)

    Hi,
    Hahahah, You are using the right word "seem" and in fact I am not a particularly bright guy on the discussions, there are plenty are smarter than me.
    Make the long story short, let deal with your issue.
    Firstly, make sure you login as administrator (not a guest) in XP, go and download the iTunes from here

  • I'm running Flash 10.2 on an HP Mini 311-1000NR, but Hulu stutters on 480P. Tried taking off Hardware Acceleration and it doesn't run smoother. Do I need to re-install Flash 10.1 beta? And how do I do re-install an older version of Flash?

    Running Windows XP, upgraded ION LE drivers to the latest drivers.

    "2MEM/1/4: DIMM3/J14"
    Replace the memory in the DIMM 3 slot.

  • How do u clear all music off ur ipod without losing it on itunes??

    im not sure how 2 clear all music off mi ipod video without losing it off itunes??

    Thanks for the clarification. Since I have the ipod
    nano and there is no update for that at this time,
    there is no reason for me to run the ipod updater.
    Well, no, not unless you want to erase the iPod.
    But - in the event that I do need to run a new ipod
    updater in the future, what's the deal with having to
    buy an AC adapter just to update the software? Is
    this true? You said “maybe” I need one, which means
    I won't know until I start the process of updating
    the ipod, that I "might" need to buy an AC adapter?
    Is this correct for the nano? Because it did not
    come with a AC adapter. What am I suppose to do?
    Leave the ipod connected for a few days while I go
    out an buy a AC adapter to finish the update? Can
    you be more specific? Is an AC adapter needed for
    the ipod nano when updating the ipod software?
    The Nano is a USB powered device. In order to update or restore it, you will need either an AC adapter or a USB 2 capable computer (USB 1 is not good enough). Basically the device needs a higher power input than usual for this sort of thing, so that it can update its flash memory without risk of damage due to power loss. Thus it requires power input when this is occuring. The AC Adapter is a sure fire way, a USB 2 port is almost as good.
