Transferring from another computer

I just got a Macbook and I wanted to transfer just my music from my IMAC. It ended up transferring everything now my memory is all taken up, I've tried erasing all of my pictures and movies. Is there anyway to start from scratch again?

I guess you can put the Setup disk that came with your Macbook in and restore it to orginal state and then try something new.

  • Will ripped music transferred from another computer work in iTunes Match?

    The SSD on my Macbook Air recently died and none of the information was able to be recovered. All of my music is still on my iPhone and iPad, but I can only transfer my actual purchases back to my Macbook Air. My other music is on my CDs, but my Macbook Air doesn't have a disc drive and I don't have an external one.
    I tried to use Remote Drive to rip the music from my CDs to my Macbook Air, but then I discovered Remote Drive doesn't have the ability to do that.
    What I'm wondering is if I rip the CDs onto the Windows computer that has the disc drive, then transfer them via USB stick to my Macbook Air, will those files be recognized by iTunes Match?

    Yes.
    Before you do anything you should immediately go purchase an external USB HDD, connect it to your MBA, open System Preferences > Time Machine and enable it. Use the tools Apple provides for you. If you are not backing up you will lose data again. It is just a matter of time.

  • I have an ancient laptop (from 2005) that has my entire music library. This laptop barely works and some keys don't type anymore. How can I get all this music transferred to another computer, or available to me on the cloud?

    No... do not move programs.
    About the iTunes library files
    Your iTunes library files track the media you add to iTunes, how you've organized it, and other information such as playlists. By default, these two files are in your iTunes folder:
    Mac OS X: /Users/username/Music/iTunes/
    Windows XP: C:\Documents and Settings\username\My Documents\My Music\iTunes\
    Windows Vista: C:\Users\username\Music\iTunes\
    Windows 7: C:\Users\username\My Music\iTunes\
    Windows 8: C:\Users\username\My Music\iTunes\

  • How do I stop my Macbook Air from transferring your information from another computer?

    Just purchased my Macbook Air. When I started it up, it asked if I wanted to tranfer information from my other computer. the first thing it started to download was the music and it suddenly froze when it had a 1hr and 46 mins left and now I can escape out of it. It is the only thing that is on my screen. I ended the transfer on my PC but it wont clear out on my Macbook Air. Is there a way to restart the computer so it will retry the tranfer without the music?

    Welcome to Apple Support Communities
    Hold the Power button until the Mac turns off, and turn it on again.
    Instead of transferring your files from another computer through the network, copy your data from your old PC or Mac to an external drive, connect the external drive to your MacBook Air and transfer your files

    I had pictures tranferred from another computer to my Iphone 4s and I have done a backup to my Itunes however I can't find that folder on my MAC in Itunes. I want that picture folder in Itunes because I have purchased an Iphone 5s and want to tranfer everything to it  HELP

    You can directly transfer photos and videos via WiFi between the iDevices, PCs, and Macs with an App like Photo Transfer.
    See: https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/photo-transfer-app-easily/id365152940?mt=8
    Or you can upload the photos and videos to the Dropbox service using the Dropbox App on the iDevice, PC, or Mac and download them to the another device using the Dropbox App on that device. By the way, once the videos are on Dropbox you can share them with others.

  • Syncing from another computer

    Can someone please tell me how to update new firmware for iPhone/iPad on another computer that is not my own. Thanks in advance for your assistance

    You should be able to install a firmware update for both with iTunes on another computer, but you won't be able to sync both devices with iTunes on another computer - not for any iTunes content and for transferring any photos from another computer or all existing iTunes content and photos transferred from your computer to the devices will be erased from the devices first.
    If there is a problem installing a firmware update on either device and you need to restore either device with iTunes on another computer, all iTunes content and photos transferred from your computer will be lost on the device.

  • If I imported a CD into my iTunes library from one computer how can I listen to it from another computer?

    If I imported a CD into my iTunes library from one computer how can I listen to it from another computer?  I imported music from a CD into my compter at work and when I got home and went to my iTunes account none of the songs were in my library.  I also noticed that on my Work computer there were a couple songs that I had to click on the little 'cloud' icon before I could listen to them (these were not songs I imported they were songs that were already in my library).  Not sure if this makes semse...help.

    My question is since I have imported them into my iTunes library from one computer why can't I access them from my iTunes library from another computer that I have authorized to access whats in my library?  Is there no way to import songs only once into the library and then access them from all my authorized computers?
    Only if you have iTunes Match or of the computers are on the same local network.

  • How do i use a Time Machine from another computer from Time Capsule with multibackups

    Can Iuse a Time Machine from another computer from Time Capsule with multibackups

    Not sure what you are asking here. 
    Time Machine is software on a Mac that is used to backup that Mac to a Time Capsule hard drive.
    Are you asking if another  Mac can backup to the same Time Capsule that other Macs are already using?
    Or, if not....please clarify on exactly what you want to do.

    Move the domain.sites file from one computer to the other.
    The file is located under User/Library/Application Support/iWeb/domain.sites.  Move this file to the same location on the other computer and double click and iWeb will open it.  Remember, it is your User Library that you want and not your System Library, as you will not find iWeb there.
    Just create a new site on the same domain file and it will appear below the other site.  If you want them side by side then duplicate your domain file and have one site per a domain file and they can then be side by side.

    The missing apps could have been done by setting the Restrictions that can hid those apps. If the backup was made with those retrictions set the the Restrictions are also restored.

    Don't expect any wonders. If you use it heavily with multiple applications running at the same time, nobody can help you. It's physics: more usage => higher energy consumption.
    Here you can find some tips to reduce the battery consumption. My tip: close applications if you don't need them right now and reduce screen brightness.
