Transfering backed up files back onto my Nomad Zen X

So I backed up my Xtra so that I could upgrade my firmware and media organizer. That was all done with no problems, everything is up and running. The only problem i am having now is when I went to transfer all my files back onto my Xtra, they can now only be viewed by files and not by songs like it was before.
in short, when I backed up onto my external, it created a different file for each 'album' and now will only transfer back the 'albums' so the organizer will only see them as folders and not as individual files! This makes organizing my files next to impossible since I have to go folder by folder (kind of defeats the purpose of the organizer). Is this a glitch with the new Plays For Sure upgrade? Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks,

That is the nature of PlaysForSure whereby tracks will be displayed as folders/files in Creative MediaSource, Creative Zen Media Explorer and Windows Media Player.

  • Will my music and what not be transferred back onto my ipod if i select "Remove and Sync" after backing up my device?

    I have recently been trying to set my ipod up on my nwe laptop (windows). Today when I installed iTunes to my computer, it gave me the option to Remove and sync all of my music and what not from my ipod and sync whatever was already on my computer. I backed up my ipod, but will I still lose all of my music and apps and such if I remove and sync?

    Yes.
    If your iPod was synced initially with another computer it will replace whatever is on it now with what is in iTunes.
    If you have access to your ols computer you can move your iTunes library to the new one by copying the whole iTunes folder from My Music and putting it in the My Music folder of the new one.
    iTunes purchases can be redownloaed. Any ripped CDs will to be transfered into your current iTunes library via third party software.

  • When downloading the new software none of my apps or music went back onto my phone how do i get it back onto my phone?

    last night when i downloaded the new ios5 software for my ipone 3gs.  when it was syncing after the software was done downloading, there was a error, and my apps or music were not transfered back onto my phone.  how do i get that stuff back on my phone without having anything deleted.

    If you are not showing any of your purchased music under that tab you were probably signed in on a different Apple ID account on the computer you synced with (is the the computer you normally sync with) and it has changed the User ID on your phone. Go to Settings > Store, log out whatever account it shows then log back in with your account.

  • We transferred purchases / synced an iPod touch to a toshiba laptop, and then updated the ipod. we can no longer put the files back onto the ipod. what are we doing wrong]

    we transferred purchases and synced from a iPod touch to a toshiba laptop, after it updated and synced again we have been unable to put the files back onto the ipod. the computer will not let us drag or copy paste files, and when we tried to " export" the library to the documents folder, it only showed up in code.  we have books and music we would like to reload to the ipod.

    Hello Jean164,
    Thank you for using Apple Support Communities!
    It sounds like you are unable to manually put your content back on your iPod Touch.
    It seems like you may need to re enable Manually Manage Music now that the device has been updated, and this article should help with that.

  • HT4692 Ok.  Now how to I get the garageband file BACK onto my iPad?

    Ok.  I have successfully transferred garageband files from my ipad to my itunes into file sharing and then saved them onto my mac in a file.  Now, the question is.... how do I (after deleting garageband files off of my ipad) put them BACK on???
    My iPad is just too full because of my garageband files.  I want to be able to take these files off and put back on certain ones when I would like to work on them again.  Thanks -R

    Step 1
    First you put the the GarageBand Project back onto the GarageBand Documents area of you iTunes File Sharing section and make sure your iPad syncs with iTunes.
    Step 2
    Now in GarageBand, go to the My Songs window, click the + button and select "Copy from Tunes". You should see all the GarageBand Projects that are available in your iTunes FIle Sharing section (from step 1). Tap on it to copy the Project to the My Songs window.
    Now you can open it.
    Hope that helps

  • I transfered my data from icloud onto my new ipad and one of my games didn't back up as i saved it initially. I have to start all over is this normal

    You can't merge the backups, you'll have to delete the backup of your old phone.  If it says it's currently in use when you try, that will normally clear up on its own but may take 3-5 days to do so.  Give it a few days and try deleting the old backup again.
    In the meantime, you can create a manual backup of your new phone on your computer by connecting it to your computer, opening iTunes, clicking on the name of your phone in iTuens, going to the Summary tab of your iTunes sync settings and clicking Back Up Now.  Also go to File>Devices>Transfer Purchases.  Then you'll be safe until you can start backup up to iCloud again.

  • After reloading CS4 back onto the same Comp I am no longer able to open any RAW files

    Heya,
    So decided since I was having some performance issues with CS4, that I would try reloading it all again back onto my system. So after it completed I open bridge and all of a sudden all my RAW photos cannot be seen as a preview tab. I click on them to open and I get a message in PSD saying that the format is not supported. Any ideas what might be going on?
    Thanks

    ANNNNNNDDDDD 10PTS!!! They only giv u 2 but I giv you 10
    Thankyou for your suggestion. I launched the updater from Bridge and now all my files have returned.
    Thanks once again

  • Transfer old mac files from external hard drive back onto my mac

    I just had my logic board replaced by Apple, out of warranty, on my 2008 Macbook pro. As advised by Apple, I had another computer store copy my entire hard drive onto an external drive as a backup. The guy at the other computer store wiped the hard drive on my computer and I sent it away for the repair.
    I have my laptop back but for the life of me can't figure out how to copy my external hard drive back onto my macbook. Please help??!! I have already been without my computer for the 10 days it took Apple to do the repair and need to get my work done. The guy at the computer store said he made an exact copy of my hard drive. He also said that since my external hard drive was a little older (never used but purchased a few years ago) it might take a few hours to copy because it took him a few hours to get the files off my mac. Thanks to anyone who can help!

    Why don't you attach the HDD with your data on it to your MBP and then drag and drop your folders to your restored MBP.
    Ciao.
    When you say that he made an exact copy of your MBP HDD, is it a clone with the OS on it?  If so you can use Disk Utility>Restore to copy the information to your MBP.

  • How do I transfer purchased apps back from my compuer onto my IPAD?  I have transferred my purchased apps to my computer, then updated my IPAD operating system, which erased my IPAD.  I can't get my purchased apps from my computer back onto IPAD.

    I have transferred my purchased apps to my computer, then updated my IPAD operating system as directed.  This erased all my apps from my IPAD.  How do I get my apps from my computer back onto the IPAD.  Simple syncing does not seem to work.  I also have another IPAD synced with this computer, if that matters.

    Check the settings in iTunes.

    About 3 years old...pretty dated now I guess.  Am thinking I may just need to have it upgraded by a Mac tech.
    For what the Apple Store's charge you can buy almost buy a new computer.
    Just for giggles I brought my old laptop in for a drive upgrade and asked, they wanted $600 for a drive that only cost $120 at the time and it was a slow 5,400 RPM drive. The new Mac's of a similar make were going for $1000.
    I did the drive replacement myself, got a faster drive of better quality for $300 instead.
    Then another time I asked for a RAM upgrade from 4GB to 8GB, they wanted to charge $400 + $35 for the labor.
    The same RAM is on Crucial.com for $90 and all I need is a 00 micro phillips screwdriver.
    So you see what's going on here.
    I think what you should do, if your out of warranty/AppleCare, is to call up the local PC tech guy who also does Mac's and have them fix you right up.
    They can offer more personalized care which you need. Clone your old drive to the new and everything.
    With Apple they are overworked at the Genius Bar and just place roadblocks so you buy a new machine instead.
    For instance, all new iMac's now have proprietary drive software installed on the hard drives for heat monitoring. So now the only choice a user has is to bring their iMac into a Apple Store for a very expensive drive upgrade, which a person then decides the money is better spent buying a new machine.

  • 3 albums of purchased music show on purchased list, but files are only on iphone. How can I get them back onto my computer?

    I have at least 3 albums of music that appear in the "purchased" column on itunes, but the files have gone missing.  I have the files on my iphone, and can listen to them on it, but when I try to play them on my Mac I get the message : The song “XXXX” could not be used because the original file could not be found. Would you like to locate it?" but when I try to find the songs in my itunes library the files are not there. I have had to de- and reauthorize my computer to get the apple tv (1) to play old content, and wonder if in doing that, I have somehow wiped out old purchased song files. Is there a way to transfer these songs back onto my desktop Mac? The "transfer purchases from iphone" function doesn't do it, seemingly because the songs were all puchased via the desktop.

  • How do I export photos back onto a camera SD card? I have created a desktop file for photos and SD card in Finder, dragged photos to card, but when I try to view them in the camera, it says "No valid photo to display"

    How do I export photos back onto a camera SD card? I have created desktop files for the photos and the card, dragged photos to the card, but when I replace card in camera, it says "No valid photo to display". I just need to get some prints made and have been struggling with this for hours. Thank you.

    No one can help you any more than has been done
    Your camera is not a general purpuose photo display system - it is designed to take photos, let you look at those photos and allow you to download them to your computer or other places - if you wnat to use it view photos then you have to put the photos in exactly the correct place with exactly the correct names or it will not see them
    And this has absolutely nothing to do with iPhoto in any way - iPhoto sotres and proecesses yoru photos and allows you to export them - once you export them it is totally out of the picture - you can easily get photo prints by using the iPhoto print service, using an internet print service, burning photos to a DVD and taking them to a print service or putting them on a SD card and taking them to a print service - to view them on your camera you have to exactly reporduce what the camera is looking for - not at all sure what the pirnt even is

  • HT1296 How do you put all music on Ipod back onto a previously crashed computer in which the original music files were not able to be restored?

    Hi, HOW DO YOU PUT ALL MUSIC FROM IPOD BACK ONTO A PREVIOUSLY CRASHED COMPUTER IN WHIHC ALL MUSIC FILES WERE UNABLE TO BE RESTORED.
    My computer crashed a few months ago and my IT guys were not able to restore my music files.. at least I can't find them. When I log into Itunes, all of my music and play lists appear but when I click to play a song in Itunes on computer, it says the files can not be found. My Ipod obviously has all of my music but I'd like to add more (without deleting what I've got on there) and to copy back whats on my Ipod back to my computer. If I plug together and my computer sync then I will loose all music... needing detailed instructions please.

    from what i understand, the procecess is similar on both mac and pc, so i'll try help you here. have you set your preferences to "automatically update all"?
    Yes i have.
    if this isn't working, maybe try moving one that you are certain is in the correct format, manually. import it from scratch to your itunes, and then copy it to the ipod.
    If i click 'import files' the only files it comes up with are text file. Should it be doing this?' So the only files i can import are written documents :/
    If i select 'add files' it dosnt add them to my libary at all.
    I tryed what you said, i deleted my movies then loaded one into my libary which i no is in the right format but it still said that it is unable to put into my ipod.
    Thanks for trying to help by the way :]
