Transfer from mac itunes to vista itunes

my itunes music is stored on an external hard drive used with my imac500. Now I want to transfer the music to my itunes on my vista laptop. Im new to windows. thanks

First issue is what format the external drive uses. Windows cannot use HFS formatted drives.
If drive formatting is compatible with Windows then plug in to machine and add tracks to library.

Further to my last post re uTube for ipad i have just found information on Buzz Player HD as an app to play videos on my ipad. Apparently it plays all downloaded u Tube in any format?.
If you feel this is a good idea. Please explain what part vimeo u Tube app will be the scheme of things.
I apologise for silly questions - but I am not very technical and very confused about what some similar apps will do or not do and their overlap. What I need is an app that will do the necessary and delete the the unnecessary.
thank you

On my home computer, when I transfer from my iTunes library to iTunes store, I'm presented with an empty window. Tool bar at the top of the page is in view and all it's 'drop-downs' function. Any ideas?

Regular or smart?
You may need to remove any references to Podcasts, e.g. use "Playlist is Music" instead of "Podcast is false".

Hi! i need to transfer from mac iCloud contacts info to galaxy note3. how do i do it? Thanks

If the Galaxy allows importing from vCards files....
You can export your contacts - go to the Contacts page at icloud.com (use computer's browser), click the top contact to select it then shift-click the bottom one to select all. Click the cogwheel icon at bottom left and choose 'Export vCard'.

Transfer music from Mac iTunes to Windows

Hi everybody!
Is there any way to get my music from the iTunes Library on my iBook to my PC's iTunes Library through my network? Since my iBook has OS 10.3, I cannot use my iPod. Both computers are connected to my network. The laptop uses AirPort, and the PC desktop is hard-wired.
I have enabled Personal File Sharing and Windows File Sharing in System Preferences, and I do not have a firewall running. My PC won't even let me open Windows Firewall, so there's nothing stopping it on that end.
I can get my mac's library to appear in iTunes on the PC, but when I try to load my PC's library on my Mac, I get the error message, "The shared library 'Nathan's Desktop Library' could not be found. Please make sure communication on port 3689 are not blocked." (or something like that.)
Even when a library does appear on my PC, it doesn't let you transfer music to your own library. Is there any way to get around this?
I purchased some music from iTunes on my laptop, not realizing that I couldn't transfer anything with my iPod, and I can't burn CDs.

Hello, everyone. You can forget I ever asked this question. I simply used a flash drive to transfer the files. I can't believe I didn't think of this before.

Is transfer from Mac to Windows via external HD possible?

I have been using my mums macbook pro and now I'm moving to town for school and only have a HP laptop can I transfer my music over to an external HD from mac to windows and authorise as well? I will visit often and want to have my purchased itunes music on both. If I buy a song on my HP will it update the mac one automatically or do I need to use my external HD every time? And lastly if it does update automatically, what about music not purchased on itunes, will it transfer those as well? I am a mac noob so please keep your answers easy
Thanks any help would be appreciated.

Yes it is possible.
Connect the external drive to the MacBook Pro
Copy the entire iTunes folder from the MacBook Pro to the external drive.
Open the iTunes folder on the external drive
Rename the file iTunes Library as iTunes Library.itl
Delete the files iTunes Music Library.xml and iTunes Library Genius.itdb
Connect the external drive to the HP laptop
Install iTunes if you haven't already, close it if running
Click the icon to start iTunes and immediately press and continue to hold down the shift key until asked to choose or create a library
Click Choose, navigate to the iTunes folder on the external drive and select the file iTunes Library.itl
Authorise the laptop to your iTunes account
If you are based in the US then music purchases made on one machine can be set to automatically download to your other libraries and any iOS devices. The rest of the world, at present, is limited to downloading apps and iBooks purchased from the store. Coming soon is iCloud which will, for a fee, also allow non-store-purchased music to be backed up and synced to your computers or iOS devices via the cloud.

Music will not transfer from Mac (OSX 10.9.3) to iPhone via cloud

Music will not transfer from my Mac (OSX 10.9.3) to my iPhone except for music purchased through iTunes. Hard sync doesn't seems to work as I use iCloud. Suggestions?

Only music purchased from the iTunes store is available to download from iCloud unless you subscribe to iTunes Match. Also, you can sync music using iTunes on you Mac even if you are using iCloud for syncing your contacts, calendars and other data.

IPod music transfer from Mac to PC?

Hey everyone. So my mac is having some issues and wont load, so Id like to transfer all of my music from my Mac iTunes to my PC iTunes, if I plug in my iPod into my PC will all of the music thats currently on it get erased from it or will it transfer over to the PCs iTunes and then reformat into the PC format for the iPod? Any help would be great, thanks!

If you need to use a Mac (HFS+) formatted iPod on a Windows PC, you'll need to install some 3rd party software such as XPlay 2.0 or MacDrive (which you can get from MediaFour Software). This will enable your Windows PC to read a Mac-formatted iPod.
Otherwise, it's a no go because without such software, Windows cannot recognize a Mac formatted iPod.

File Transfer from mac to PC... help?

I am trying to transfer files from my G4 OSX 10.2 to a pc windows 7. They are mostly Jpg images and some word & excel docs. Do I need conversion software or just copy over via my usb? Thanks

Simply copy the files on a windows formatted (FAT32) usb stick from mac to pc. If you have office installed on your pc it works like a charm.

Transfer from .Mac to iWeb

My iWeb websites were deleted when I switched to my new iMac.
However, the websites are published still on .Mac.
Does anyone know if you can export/transfer your webpages from .Mac to iWeb so that I can edit them ?
Or, am I outta luck,
Avo

Hi Avo,
Hate to be the one to tell you this but no, you can't transfer anything from .Mac or any other server back into the iWeb application. You will have to rebuild the sites, copying and pasting wherever you can.
For the future, iWeb puts your site data into a single Domain file kept in your Home folder Library, Application Support>iWeb>Domain. Back up this file often to a trustworthy location.
Sorry for the bad news; depending on the nature of your sites, creating a new site and linking back to the old might be something to consider.

ITunes Movie Rentals disappear from iPhone a day after transfer from Mac

OK, this has happened to me twice now. Here's the scenario:
I have a long, international flight. I rent multiple movies so that I can have films to watch both to and from the destination.
I browse for the movies on my Mac (OS X Lion, current release)
I rent four movies on my Mac.
I then transfer them, one at a time, to my iPhone--a 4S with 5.0.1. (I do this because in earlier releases, a movie would sometimes disappear if I tried to sync more than one movie at a time).
After it's done, I see four movies listed on myiPhone in the Videos app.
About 2 days later, I look at iTunes and decide to load some audiobooks. I look at the Movies tab and it shows only one rental movie on the iPhone, the last movie transferred. The other three movies are nowhere: they do not show as on the Mac or on the Phone.
I check the phone. Only the one movie is present.
At no point did I start to play any of the movies. It appears that the first three rental movies transferred disappeared from the phone as if they expired 24 hours after the transfer.
And--just to make it fun--this is the second time the exact same scenario has played out. I had a long international flight at the end of September and on iOS 4 the same thing happened before that flight. All but the last movie transferred vanished from the phone after a day.
Anyone else run into this issue?
FYI: I have contacted support to see if I can get a credit for the "lost" rentals. But as of now I'm afraid to transfer rented movies to my phone.

Yep. Me too. Getting ready to fly overseas. My iTunes on my computer says they are on my iPad, but they aren't. How does that work when I can't 'find them' anywhere on my iPad?
3 rentals lost.
