Transfering music from itunes on ibookG4 to mac air itunes

i have over 5000 music tracks on my old ibook g4,and i want to transfer to my new macair. i cant transfer wirelessly but is there a way i can transfer by usb or other cable.

Move the tunes to an ext HD or a memory stick and connect via the USB port. If there was a FW port I would reboot in Target Mode or if there is an ethernet connection - create an network and transfer via the ethernet connection. I don't know all the connectivity options of the MacAir.

Transferring music from itunes to ipod

Trouble transfering music from itunes to my iopd. have updated ipod but still having trouble.

OK so first thing is, is the iPod set for manual or auto updating? If you are using iTunes 7, click on the iPod icon in iTunes and check the settings. For earlier versions go to iTunes preferences and pick the iPod. Typically you have three choices, Auto Updating, Auto Updating of selected playlists only, and finally Manual updating.
And to clear up your confusion, yes, you can always import your own CDs and put that music on your iPod without restriction.

Transfering music from iTunes to my motorokr

I have just gotten a motorokr phone and am trying to transfer music from iTunes to it. First I used a card reader and the card that came with the phone. It worked once and then the reader quit coming up on my desktop. It was not reading the card anymore. Then, after talking to Motorola help, I used the usb cable and my phone to upload the music . The same thing happened. After successfully using it once, it doesn't show up on my desktop. Any info or help for this problem?

hi ssr!
let's try an experiment. try switching off your antivirus and antispyware prior to trying a synch. does the wee darling behave herself a bit better when you try that?
keep us posted.

Transferring Music from iTunes problem

This may be an obvious one but is there a way I can drag and drop music from iTunes to my iPhone like I can with my iPods? Having to check boxes and synch all the time doesn't feel like the best way to do it all the time.
Thx.

Ansuz82,
One thing that is convenient about the playlist method is you can add a song to the playlist even if you don't have the iPhone connected. The next time the iPhone is connected, the song will be copied to the iPhone.
As my profile mentions I have 3 children. My two oldest like the iPhone, and when I am home, I don't get to use it all that often. However, if I want to have a song on it for the commute to work, I just put it on the playlist and when I plug it in in the evening to sync and charge the iPhone will be added to it.
Hope this helps,
Nathan C.

HT1373 transferring music from itunes to new ipod

hi, trying to transfer my purchased music from itunes to my ipod. just downloaded itunes 11 and using a new ipod. in the past with itunes 9, my devise appreared in the informaiton bar and i was able to drag music into it. with this new version, i dont see my devise, and not sure how to get my music on there.

First things first do you have the menu bar on? Second, have you tried plugging the usb into a different port? ALSO once device is seen in itunes, go to the summary tab & click manage music manually. You should still be able to click & drag.

Transfering music from iTunes to iPhone

I'm having trouble moving music from iTunes to my iPhone. I have looked for answers everywhere, and it all says to create a playlist and select the playlist to transfer. However, my iTunes won't let me do that. It will only let me sync everything, replacing all my music on my iPhone. Help!

However, my iTunes won't let me do that.
It won't let or you don't know how to do it?
Create a playlist and add the songs you want on your iPhone.
Plug in the iPhone and select it in iTunes.
Click the Music tab.
Tick Sync music.
Select *Selected playlists* in the drop down box and tick the playlists you want to sync to the iPhone.

How do I transfer music from my iPhone to my mac air

I am trying to transfer my music on my phone to my mac air. All my files were deleted and I dont want to loose all my music on my phone when I plug my phone into my computer!! Please help me!!! Thank you!!

Generally speaking, music transfers from a computer to an iPhone, not the other way around. Apple only provides a way to transfer music you purchased in the iTunes Store from the iPhone to a computer. To do that, connect your iPhone to iTunes, and do File > Devices > Transfer Purchases from iTunes' menu.
In general, the way to restore music that is no longer on your computer is from your computer's backup.

Transfering music from Itunes/Mac to DVD to Itunes PC using Toast

I'd like to share some of my music with a friend (long distance) who has Itunes for PC(windows). Can I burn songs onto a DVD using Toast Titanium? When he imports the music from the DVD will the song info show up on his Itunes? Will this work for purchased music too?
Powerbook Mac OS X (10.4.6)

You can make Audio cds, and data backups of the music you purchsed from the iTMS for your personal use only. This is according to the Terms of Service you agreed to when you signed up for your account on the iTMS. The terms of service do not allow you to "share" any music purchsed by you with anyone else.
Besides, if you want your friend to be able to play the music you want to "share" with him you will have to give him your iTMS username and password.

Transferring music from old PC to new mac

Hey guys,
I recently sold my alienware to buy the new macbook pro. That being said, I never had both computers ar the same time - I sold one, then bought the other like a week after. Now, as I try to transfer all my iPhone's data into my new macbook, It seems that the only option for my music is to erase it. This has struck me as an enormous inconvenience; Is there a way-simply put-to plug in my iPhone to my new mac and transfer all its music to the mac's library?
Thanks in advance,
Omarjr50

Welcome to the discussions,
Make sure your new computer is authorized in iTunes. Disable autosync in itunes, connect your iphone, right click on it in the device list and choose backup.
This will save data, pictures and settings to itunes. See what's included in this backup here: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1766
Transfer your purchases the same way to copy all apps and bought music from the Store to your computer.
Set up at least one contact and event on your computer to be able the merge your calendars and contacts after your iphone got wiped during the first sync.
The rest of the data can be restored from the backup you made.
Restoring: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1414
Music is one way only, from the computer to your device, unless you bought the songs in itunes and transferred your purchases.
There is 3rd party software out there, but not supported by Apple, see this thread: http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=2013615&tstart=0

Help transferring music from iTunes to new MacBook Pro

Hi there,
I am almost all set up with my new laptop. One last hitch; I can't seem to transfer my music over. I tried to put my library (about 6G) of music from my old (PC) laptop onto my iPhone and then figured I could just upload it from the iPhone to the MacBook but I when I try to sync it doesn't seem to want to work. I am getting a message that leads me to believe that when I try to sync the iPhone to the MacBook I will lose my iTunes library. Has anyone tried this? Is there an easier way to move the music files over?
Thanks!!

HT4527 How do I play my transferred music from itunes?

I have transferred my itunes music from my old computer to my new computer successfully, but now it won't play directly from itunes. My computer says that it cannot locate the file. When I go into the itunes folder and pull up a music file, itunes opens automatically and plays the song. It seems like my music is in the wrong location. Any suggestions for moving it to a place where itunes can find it?

Have you ticked the 'Sync Music' box on the Music tab in iTunes ?

Problem transfering music from itunes to iphone

Hi! Wondering if you could help: I can play in Itunes the music I download. But when i decide to transfer these songs from Itunes to my Iphone 4 by draging it, like I always did before, it doesn't work. By the way I just bought a new laptop and downloaded Itunes on it. Can someone tell me what could be the problem?

hi, your message is kind of old and you've probably already figured out how to transfer the music. i just read some of the replies to you and see that no one mentions the "Autofill" option so i wanted to let you know--just in case it might help you to do things a bit less complicated. i had the same problem with the new version of iTunes (11.0) and discovered the best way to transfer your music is to add it to your iTunes library like you usually do and click on the "Autofill" button at the bottom so the music is transferred without problems. You still won't get to keep your playlists (I know right? ******* genius whoever came up with this brilliant idea...) and you must make sure you're "auto-filling" the music from the recently added list, otherwise it will just transfer music from a different location.
i hope this helps! you can email me or PM me if you've got any other questions!
