Transferred all from internal drive to external drive and now need help

I recently purchased an external hard drive to transfer allof my itunes music and folders to so it frees up my hard drive on my lap top. I followed the directions from apple to do this. When I purchased new songs this week, I plugged my ipod in and it did not take the new songs. It doesn't down load the new music.
I have been so frustrated with all of this that I am having such a hard time being able to enjoy my new ipod 30gb.
Can anyone help me????

    Hi philhardinges,
    You can ask Apple support for the replacement receipt, this receipt would have the old iphone information(including Imei) and the replacement iphone information.
    I had a problem like you and they sent me that information, then with the old imei you can unlock your iphone
    Another way to take the old iphone imei, you can look for the original iphone box, yep, the one i hope you saved carefully somewhere in your house hahaha. The imei is showed on the bottom of the box down-right corner.
    Hope this information can help you.
    Best regards

  • Was advised to delete system configuration file from hard drive and now computer will not start - any help would be appreciated.

    Downloaded Yosemite and since then cannot connect to internet or bluetooth mouse - was advised to delete system configuration file from the hard drive and since then cannot start up computer. Any help would be appreciated - cheers.

    Boot the MBP with the OPTION+COMMAND+R keys down.  The result should be a display showing a revolving globe.  By following the instructions, you will be able to reinstall the original OSX.  Then you may reinstall Yosemite.
    A solid Internet connection will be required.

  • I transferred documents from older computer to new one and now I cant open.  The computer tells me power pc applications no longer supported.  Is there a way to fix this so I can open?

    HI, any help would be greatly apperciated.  I purchased a new iMAC this year and transferred my old docments from very old iMAC (flying saucer looking thing) and now I am trying to open them and cant.  My computer tells me that power pc applications are no longer supported.  Is there a way to save, change or move documents so I can open?  Email to someone else?  Thanks!

    As you've found out, Lion dropped support for PowerPC applications. What type of files are you trying to open? What PowerPC application are you using to try to work with them?  Many have had Office 2004 fail to load after migrating to Lion.

  • Transfering itunes from XP to new Leopard computer AND synching iPhone help

    I'm a complete Mac OS novice and have purchased a new iMac. I have been using WinXP and own an iPhone. I have backed up my itunes library (from my XP computer) onto multiple dvds. How do I transfer my library onto the mac AND keep my contacts from my iPhone intact? Do I need to do a complete restore on the new computer? Will my contacts be deleted?
    Please bear in mind I am a COMPLETE novice with OS X. Step by step directions for transfering my library, deauthorizing the xp computer, and synching my iphone would be amazing.
    Jason

    Jason,
    Did you use the iTunes backup feature to backup your iTunes library to DVDs? If so, then to restore the backed-up files, insert a backup disc into your iMac, open iTunes, choose File > "Back Up to Disc," and then click Restore.. Once your files are copied, you can [deauthorize your old XP computer|http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?path=iTunesWin/7.4/en/15281.ht ml] and authorize your new Mac.
    Note: Before you sync your iPhone to your Mac, make sure you have a backup of your contacts and all other important information on your Windows computer.
    Go to the Info tab in iTunes (on your Mac) and select Sync Contacts. When you hit apply, you should get a message saying "The information on this iPhone is synced with another user account. Do you want to sync the iPhone with the information from this user account instead?" Click Merge Info. This should copy the contacts from your iPhone to Address Book on your Mac.
    For more information on syncing your iPhone with your Mac, take a look at this article:

    Hope this helps,

  • I up graded my mac mini with a new hard drive and now need ios 10.9 how do i down load it so i can put it back on the mac

    how do i get the ios 10.9 so i can put it back on the new hard drive

    If the Mac mini shipped with 10.6.8 or earlier, install Mac OS X 10.6, update it to 10.6.8, open the Mac App Store, and download 10.9.
    If the Mac mini shipped with 10.7 or newer, connect it to the Internet, restart it with the Command and R keys held down, and install an OS. If this isn't 10.9, open the Mac App Store and download it from there.

  • HT1349 Transferred songs from old iPod to new computer and now songs won't sync to my iPhone 5

    What should I do? To get them to sync to my phone?o

    What computer OS are you using? Do you have the latest version of iTunes (v11.1)? There has got to be a reason for the disconnect in the music syncing. I would recommend resetting the sync history. If you are in Windows, go to Edit, Preferences, Devices, and there is a button there. Now, with the phone connected to iTunes and the phone selected in the Device pane, you go to the Summary page and down towards the bottom of the page, there is a Reset Warnings box. After doing that, try to sync music again. If there is a problem, with the warnings reset, it should show up if there is one.

  • Going from WebOS to my 1st iPhone5 and I need help.

    Are there any former WebOS people here in this discussion group that can help me with the transition from WebOS to iOS6. Something just doesn't seem to kosher with contacts/calendar/syncing. I can use any help out there. Help page for iPhone5 does not work.

    Simply deactivate it on the old machine and install it on the new one.

  • Transfer music files from internal drive to external drive

    Prior to purchasing a new computer, I transferred the music files and library.xml file from my old PC to an external drive. Now I want to transfer the music to my new PC.
    The issue I have is that the Library.xml file points to the music on the F: drive and I want to put the music on my D: drive. I tried to do a find/replace within the .xml file, but the file is so large (20MB) that it takes forever to open and do a find/replace.
    Is there an easier way to transfer my music files to my new PC and use my Library.xml? If so, how? I have spent countless hours organizing my Library so I don't want to start all over.
    Help! Thanks.

    Well, a really easy way to do it would be to simply force windows to use a different letter for your drives. Where you currently have your music on D:, you could tell Windows to start calling that drive F:. Of course, this could cause problems if anything like the registry, programs, or shortcuts refer D:. To make this change, right-click "My Computer" and choose Manage. You can do this right in the start menu of Windows XP. A new window will open. Select Disk Managment on the left and all your drives should show up on the right. Right-click the drive you want to change the letter of and choose "Change Drive Letter and Paths". I can't verify if these options exist on XP Home, but it works on my XP Pro.
    I'm running into a similar but more complicated problem, which I will post somewhere if I can't find a solution. I have my library split between two drives and now I want them all on one new drive I bought. Ick!

  • I moved all my music from c: drive(because it was full) to an external harddrive and now itunes can't find any of my music. Is there a way to get Itunes to find music on external drive without having to place all the music back onto the c: drive? Thanks

    Hopefully you moved the entire iTunes Media (or iTunes Music) folder to a new path on your external drive. Copy your iTunes library folder out to the root of the external drive, e.g. X:\iTunes (where X: is your external drive), then move the media folder inside it. Hold down shift as you start iTUnes and keep holding untila asked to choose or create a library. Choose the library at X:\iTunes\iTunes Library.itl. Should all be good.
    Failing that, download and run my FindTracks script and point it at the new location of your media folder.

  • I am moving from PC to Mac.  My PC has two internal drives and I have a 3Tb external.  What is best way to move the data from the internal drives to Mac and the best way to make the external drive read write without losing data

    Paragon even has non-destriuctive conversion utility if you do want to change drive.
    Hard to imagine using 3TB that isn't NTFS. Mac uses GPT for default partition type as well as HFS+

  • Can't boot from internal drive - Please help!

    The internal drive on my PBG4 was making some funny noises this morning and sure enough, when I tried to reboot from it I was unable to. Instead I was brought to a screen with a DOS prompt with some cryptic error message. Since then I've called Apple support and their "solution" was to re-format the drive and reinstall the OS. I can do that if I absolutely have to, but if there's any way around it, I'd much rather avoid the reformatting/reinstalling everything nightmare scenario. Initially Disk Repair said the drive couldn't be repaired. I booted from my Disk Warrior CD (3.0.3), which prompted me to backup data (luckily I have an external 250GB drive) and I backed up my home directory. I did that and rebuilt the directory, then restarted from my Tiger CD and ran Disk utility again and it said the disk was fine. I tried to boot from the drive and I get taken to a DOS prompt again with the following error message:
    launchd can't exec /bin/sh for single user: No such file or directory
    Any suggestions on what I can try at this point short of reformatting the drive and starting over from scratch?
    Powerbook G4   Mac OS X (10.4.7)   1.25 GHZ, 1GB Ram

    I assume you have OS X on a 2nd drive that you can run DW, Disk Utility etc.
    As you backup files and know they are okay, delete them. Undo the layers of onion and try to go from latest to oldest.
    If you don't have an emergency fw drive...
    The trouble with long backups on a problem drive is they can fail during the backup if the drive gets too hot, which happens.
    Back in Panther, you could use BootCD to create an emergency CD or DVD with your system, full finder, loads of utilities, and could even run FireFox. With that, you could run TTPro 4, Disk Warrior, DU, Rember etc. AND play around in the Finder and Terminal.
    I still keep a CD and DVD with 10.3.9 just in case. The perfect FW drive would have a couple OS versions, a backup partition (that you can erase if needed).
    Apple Disk Utility from CD/DVD can also be used to copy/clone a volume or foleer, using Restore and output to a volume or disk image.

  • I have transfered all my library on an external hard disk and lost the itunes library files.

    I transfered all my library on an external hard disk and lost the itunes library files. Itunes created new ones but I lost all the playlists.
    How can I copy the playlists presents on the Iphone directly on Itunes ?
    If I want to syncronise now, I lost all playlists datas.

    Hi,
    I did the same XP to Windows 7 upgrade about 18 months ago.   I decided to keep iTunes permanently on the external drive than the c drive to save c: drive space. 
    ITunes database has pointers to MP3 files located in Artist's directories.  If you want to use a different location than the default C:\ drive for iTunes, then you need to recreate the Itunes database by deleting all songs in iTunes, then change the default location for iTunes files to your external drive.  Then import the MP3 files from the external drive into the empty iTunes database through the iTunes import facility.  
    If you screw up the timing of the import and find you have multiple iTunes directories (instead of just the default location), then iTunes has a new feature to consolidate all iTunes MP3 files back into the central default location.  In iTunes, FILE, LIBRARY, ORGANIZE LIBRARY, then CONSOLIDATE FILES.
    To change the default directory for MP3 files, in Tunes go to EDIT, PREFERENCES, ADVANCED and then CHANGE the location to where you want the Itunes MP3 files to be located (including the iTunes subdirectory under which all the artist directories are held.  Mine are on the F: drive or whatever your computer states is your drive assignment for the external drive.
    Note iTunes 10.5 has many problems that Apple hopefully are working on....we seem to have gone backwards on working components in this iCloud based release.  So maybe keep on using old computer until 10.6 is released.
    Enjoy
