HT4889 Transferred files via time machine and not log in password will not allow me to log in

I have a new MacBook pro, I transferred files via time machine and a removable hard drive. Now new MacBook does not recognize the log in password. What can I do to reset the password?

Did you migrate when you first booted up in Setup Assistant or did you migrate later? When you migrate later it can create a second account, check in Mac HD/Users to see if this is the situation.

Transferring files from iPod to new computer.

My old computer died, and it is the only computer authorized to run my iTunes files. The new computer has itunes 8 installed on it. I would like to transfer the files on my ipod to my new itunes, but i do not know how. I have heard about third-party resources that i can use to transfer these files, but i would prefer to not use any of these because i do not want to get a virus or let in spyware. If a third-party resource is the only way i can access the files on my iPod nano, then i would like it if you could suggest a safe, virus and spyware free resource. Can you help me? Please help i really would appriciate it. Thanks!

Hello, Welcome to Apple Discussions.
Below you will find articles to assist you today
Step 1: Download and install iTunes on Vista. Please keep in mind Vista has 2 possible versions depending if you are running 32 bit or 64 bit of Vista. You can find this out by right click on Computer and selecting properties.
http://www.apple.com/itunes/download/ (32 bit)
http://support.apple.com/downloads/iTunes8_0_2_for_Windows_64bit (64 bit)
Step 2: Authorize new computer

Step 3: Transfer iTunes purchases from iPod into iTunes

Keep in mind if you have any content not from the iTunes Store on the iPod it can not be transfered back via this method. You will need to reimport the files from their original source back into iTunes.

How the external system will talk to ECXpert 3.5 for transfering files via HTTP SSl?

We are using ECxpert3.5 on Solaris box. One of our Trading Partner want to communicate through HTTP-SSL and we are doing XML/EDI mapping. Could you guide us what steps we need to take care to implement this.
How the external system will talk to ECXpert for transferring files. (We need the syntax for the URL). How ECXpert will receive XML file through HTTP-SSL protocol from External System and file submittion.
Please send is there any other document which explain about. Thanks in advance for your help. [email protected] or [email protected]

Hi Steve,
You can bring the GRC framework to a state equivalent to a raw install by following options:
Option 1.) You should have a base-line backup before GRC installation. If so then apply that base-lin backup and deploy GRC components. If there is no base-lin backup, then
Option 2.) Uninstall and re-install J2EE and then follow up with rest of the installation process. If you don't want to go through re-install process, then
**Correction to Option 3**
Option3.) SAP is in process of creating a SAP Note for Delete script, Instead of delivering Delete Script script via OSS message. Will update you as soon as the Note gets released.
Please refere to Note # 1416728 to Manage your deletion in RAR 5.3 SP10.
Hope this helps.
Best Regards,

Weird error message when transferring files to iPod

Hi all, I just received a 64 Gig iPod Touch in the post today. When setting it up in iTunes (I'm using 9.0.1.8), I got as far as the screen asking me whether I want to automatically sync music/videos/apps every time I connect the iPod to my computer, and I unchecked all the boxes and pressed "Done" (or whatever it said). iTunes then hung for about 10 minutes, and then gave me an error message that said something like (I didn't write down the exact wording)
"iPod cannot be synced. The device cannot be written to or read".
Now whenever I transfer music to the iPod, it gives me the following message:
"The iPod 'Phil's iPod' cannot be synced. An unknown error occured (13014)"
It seems to work fine despite the message - the music still gets transferred. Anybody know what's going on?

What would cause this message and why would it not be able to be played on my iPod?
This message usually indicates the file does not meet ipod specifications. For many making their own conversions, this could be incorrect formatting during conversion. However, since these files were supposedly processed by professionals, would assume target format was correct but the video content pushed the video data rate above the 1,500 kbps maximum limitation. Most of my tests using QT Pro produced files with average video data rates between 1524 and 1536 kbps and in one case had to adjust brightness and contrast to make the file acceptable for iTunes sync to iPod. That is why I requested that Baseline LC profile access be added to the MPEG-4 export option to allow manual custom conversions. In any case, be sure to report your inability to sync specific files to ensure they are properly "re-mastered."

Transferring files via Target Mode

Hello,
I just got my Mac Pro and I'm trying to transfer some files and programs from my existing G4... I have heard about using the "Target Mode" to do this, but when I tried no luck. Here's what I attempted to do:
attmept #1. G4 is connected to my display. I booted the G4 holding down the "T" key. I see the firewire symbol on the screen, so I connected a firewire cable from the G4 to the Pro and turned on the Pro. Nothing happened. Should I have connected the display cable to the Pro too? I don't need 2 displays to do this action, right?
attempt #2. Mac Pro is connected to the display. I boot the Pro and follow instructions via "Migration Assistant". So I connected the firewire from the Pro to the G4 (while Pro is still running) and booted the G4 while holding down the "T" key and still nothing happens.
What am I doing wrong? Can anyone offer some assistance please? Thanks in advance.

Hi hscarr;
Transferring programs from a G4, which is PowerPC architecture, to a Mac Pro, which is Intel architecture, is a know method of creating problems.
It is highly recommend that instead all applications be freshly install on the Intel platform.
Once that is done that your data can be moved.

Need help with transferring files from iPod to iPad mini!

I just got an iPad mini for Christmas and I would like to know how can I transfer my iPod (2nd gen) files to my new iPad mini?

ITunes is not responding after transferring files to iPod Touch

I upgraded iTunes to iTunes 8.2.0.23 last week. I have a first generation iPod Touch (8 GB) running v. 2.2.1. Since upgrading iTunes, after copying new files onto my iPod Touch, both iTunes and the Touch indicate "Syncing in progress" for several minutes after the files have been copied. Eventually, the Touch's screen will stop displaying the syncing message and turn itself off but iTunes stays on "Syncing in progress". I am unable to eject the Touch (although I know I don't have to). In fact iTunes is completely locked up. When I go to the Windows Task Manager, it shows that iTunes is not responding. I end the task there and it closes iTunes. This happens every time I add new files to the Touch.
I've read in various discussion pages about similar problems occuring but they all involve Version 3.0 Touch's or iPhones. Perhaps this is something particular with iTunes 8.2.0.23. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

The issue was, I store my music on my Windows Home Server and had my iTunes library connected to it over the network. When I transferred my music locally to my computer, the issue stopped. So, I guess the answer is, don't sync your iTunes library from a Windows Home Server.

Transfering music via ipod from computer

I'm transfering my music from my old computer to my new one. I've followed the steps on http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=300173 but now both computers say my ipod nano is associated with another computer. And my music transferred to my new computer but when I open itunes with my ipod connected it is under SHARED not DEVICES and where my ipod is listed. help please.

The song is not saved in your computer hardrive, so itunes cant find the file. One thing you can try is using IpodCopy
It takes your music from your ipod and puts it onto your computer. Download this software into your new computer and try it out. I've never actually used this so dont ask me about problems that u may have. To be safe, put your ipod in manual update before you try it.

Parameter Error when Transferring Files from ipod to laptop

Hi,
I have posted this topic previously but didnt respond fast enough and I think the system locked it down as I had too long of a delay.
I have recently set up iTunes on a laptop and want to start using this as my default iTunes for syncing etc. Unfortunately I no longer have access to the desktop that housed my original iTunes so I have followed the instructions to use my ipod as an external disc and transfer the files this way.
These are the instructions I have followed http://lifehacker.com/105256/how-to-copy-songs-from-your-ipod-to-your-pc
There are two issues I see. (1) the ipod control folder is allowing me to see what is housed in the folder but it is slightly greyed out compared to the other folders in the same location.
(2) when I try and copy the music folder to my desktop etc I get a parameter error.
So for example the error I have when transferring to my desktop I get
"Cannot copy OUTO (the file): The parameter is incorrect.
Hopefully someone has seen this before.
thx

Transfering files from ipod to my computer

I have had to reinstall my itunes programme onto my computer (Windows system).
As a result, my library is now empty but all my tunes are still on my ipod.
Can I transfer these back onto my computer and how do I do this/
I will be grateful for any help on this

UM...if this is the same computer that you had to reintstall iTunes on, all you need to do is reimport your music files back to iTunes. You do not need to bother with that software to rip iPod onto iTunes. iTunes does not hold the music, it is saved to the PC's Harddrive. iTunes just holds the file path to reference the song.

How to disable itunes store when transferring files to ipod shuffle

Hi,
I just started using my ipod shuffle a few days ago, using itunes on mac OS 10.4. To try it out, I used a handful of podcasts downloaded from the itunes store.
My problem is that whenever I try to move a file from my computer to my ipod shuffle, itunes seems to want to open up the itunes store (as declared by itunes in the top oval window) instead of showing the list of files on my shuffle. However, I've already disabled the itunes store through parental controls. My internet at home is rather slow at the moment, and it's annoying to have to close the blank "store" window each time I load something onto my ipod shuffle. Is there a way to disable the itunes store, specifically when I'm moving files to my ipod shuffle (in addition to using the parental controls)?

Provided the files were properly tagged then iTunes should pick up the data when the files are imported into the library. The main problem is usually any files in .wav format.
See also Recover your iTunes library from your iPod or iOS device. You seem to be most of the way there already but there are a couple of scripts mentioned near the end which you could use to recover ratings & playlists.

Transfering files via sockets

Hi
I am writing a client server app, and am communicating between the clients and server using the Socket and Serversocket class's. Transfering strings is very easy, but i also want to transfer files. I usually use Fileinputstream/fileoutputstream in normal circumstances, but i dont think this will work with sockets.
Any suggestions on how i can transfer files through a sockets would be most welcome.
Cheers
Steve

Just create the InputStream to your file, read in some bytes, write the bytes to the sockets OutputStream, voila!

Transferring music via ipod

My harddrive crashed and I lost everything. I now want to transfer the music from my ipod to my new laptop. How do I do this?

If you have any iTMS purchases the transfer of purchased content from the iPod to authorised computers has been introduced with iTunes 7. A paragraph on it has been added to this article: Transfer iTunes Store purchases using iPod
The transfer of non iTMS content such as songs imported from CD is designed by default to be one way from iTunes to iPod. However there is a manual method of accessing the iPod's hard drive and copying songs back to iTunes on Windows. The procedure is a bit involved and it won't recover playlists but if you're interested it's posted in this thread: MacMuse - iPod to iTunes
If you prefer something more automated then there are a number of third party utilities that you can use to retrieve the music files and playlists from your iPod. This is just a selection, you'll find that they have varying degrees of functionality and some will transfer movies, videos, photos and games as well. Have a look at the web pages and documentation, they are generally quite straightforward. You can also read reviews of some of them here: Wired News - Rescue Your Stranded Tunes
YamiPod Mac and Windows Versions
iGadget Windows Only
iPod Access Mac and Windows Versions
PodUtil Mac and Windows Versions
iPodCopy Mac and Windows Versions
TuneJack Windows Only
CopyPod Windows Only
If your iPod is set to update automatically take care when connecting back to your computer and an empty iTunes. You will get a message that your iPod is linked to a different library and asking if you want to link to this one and replace all your songs etc, press "Cancel". Pressing "Erase and Sync" will irretrievably remove all songs from your iPod. Your iPod should appear in the iTunes source list from where you can change the update setting to manual and use your iPod without the risk of accidentally erasing it. Also when using a lot of the utilities your iPod needs to be enabled for disc use, changing to manual update will do this by default. Check the "manually manage music and videos" box in Summary then press the Apply button: Managing content manually on iPod
Whichever of these retrieval methods you choose, keep your iPod in manual mode until you have reloaded your iTunes and you are happy with your playlists etc then it will be safe to return it auto-sync again. I would also advise that you get yourself an external hard drive and back your stuff up in case you have problems again. External drives are comparatively inexpensive these days and you can get loads of storage for a reasonable outlay.
