Transferring IPhoto from old to new computer

Hello:
I am having problems transferring my IPhoto album from my old computer to my new computer
Old computer
• MacbookPro 2.6Ghz Intel Core Duo
• OSX v 10.7.5
• IPhoto v 9.4.2
New Computer
• MacBookPro 2.6GHz Intel Core i7
• OSX v 10.8.2
• IPhoto v 9.4.2
Both computers Pictures albums and IPhoto Libraries permissions are are set to "read and write" for administrator and everyone. File sharing is on in System Preferences.
When I try to copy from the old to the new computer, I get message "Items can’t be copied to “Pictures” because you don’t have permission to read them". I have done the IPhoto "repair permission" on both computers and still cannot copy my IPhoto album from my old to new computer. What now? This is very frustrating :-(

Where on the new computer are you trying to copy to?  Try changing the destination to the Desktop.
Another approach would be to connect the two Macs together with the old MBP in Firewire Target Disk Mode. Then see if you can copy the library without the permissions error.

  • Transferring music from old to new computer ?

    hey!
    so i tried following the tutorial for transferring music from my old computer to my new computer (both of them PC's) and i got as far as the "copy itunes folder into ipod then connect to new computer"
    now the next step is to take that itunes folder outta my ipod folder and place it into "my music" and then delete the itunes folder from my ipod so i free up my memory again.
    the only problem is i don't know where this "ipod folder" is located so i can't extract the itunes folder and now i have all this memory used up.
    has anyone done this before because the PC version of the tutorial doesn't seem to be working. my question is what should this ipod folder look like and where can i find it?
    THANKS!

    Hi cynthia I know what your going through the same exact thing happened to me (I feel your pain and stress). You can use Windows Explorer to delete the folder it should be obsvisoly labeled I belive as "Itunes" and if you acidentally delete your music its already on your new computer anyway so all you would have to plug it in and it would sync...

  • Transferring music from old to new computer - 2 problems/questions...

    I was able to transfer my iTunes library from my old PC to my new desktop.  I'm seeing the entire content in iTunes on the laptop just fine.  Home sharing is enabled & the laptop has been authorized.  Two problems remain.
    1. I just downloaded 7 new tunes from iTunes store (on the laptop) but they aren't appearing on either PC or laptop when I search my library on them.  Why ?
    2. I have over 4000 tunes in my library but only about half are selected (i.e. checked) for sync'ing onto my iPod.  But when I transferred the entire library to my laptop, everything is checked.  I haven't connected my iPod to the lap top because I don't want everything transferred to it.  Is there a way to sync the laptop with the PC so that the checked content is identical on both machines ?
    Once I get this squared away, I intend to deauthorize the old PC.  Please help.
    Thanks !

    Update -
    Ok, I've determined that the the songs that I transferred from my PC were actually part of my shared library.  There's always only been one computer in the house so sharing was never an issue.  As I indicated above, I'm going to deactivate my old PC once I get all this settled.  So maybe a better description of my issue is this:
    I have over 4000 tunes in my iTunes library.  About half are chcked for sync'ing with my iPod.  Some are purchased from iTunes which I understand can be redownloaded from the Cloud.  Others are from CDs that I loaded over several years. What I'm trying to do is to:
    1. Physically transfer the contents of my old PC's iTunes library to my new laptop and ;
    2.  Make the checked selections the same between the two machines so that when I connect my iPod to the new laptop, it will sync with the same tunes it has now.
    Hope this makes sense.  Apologies for the initial confusion....!

  • Transferring Itunes from old to new computer

    I have been trying to export all of my itune songs from an old PC to a new laptop.   I'm only getting a portion of the songs transferred.   When uploading from a separate harddrive its says that "songs cannot be found".   So in a file that I might have 50 songs, I only get 2-3 transferred.  I have quite a few songs that I uploaded from CD's and these are what are not being transferred.   Is there a way of transferring the individual files with all the music therein, rather than putting everything in the "all" file.  Some step by step instructions would help as what I have found on the internet still does not transfer all my songs.

    Just checking. Have you done the steps listed here?

  • New Computer - How do I move my library from Old to New Computer?

    Hi,
    I bought a new computer and want to transfer all my music from the old one to the new one.
    This is what I did so far:
    Copied the entire iTunes directory from my old computer into an external hard drive.
    Then loaded the entire iTunes folder from the hard Drive to the existing iTunes directory in the new Laptop.
    Now, none of the songs showed up in my iTunes Library screen.
    So I had to basically drag them from windows explorer into the iTunes Library screen. However, none of the album artwork, or ratings, etc, are there (i copied all those files from old to new computer as they were in the original directories in my old computer, I think)... It looks like i'll have to do all that work again!
    Is there a way to do this one shot??
    Thanks!
    RJ.

    Launch iTunes with the Shift key held down, select Choose Library, and navigate to the folder you copied.

  • Hi transferring data from old to new and it is stuck on 1 min remaining for 1.5 days now.  any ideas

    transferring data from old to new and stuck on one min remaining for 1.5 days.  any ideas

    If you have already tried restarting the process and it continues to stall out, the only way to do it is through target disk mode. Because USB C is so new there is not an official way to do it. If you take it into an Apple Store they should transfer your data for free.

  • From old to new computer : synch problems

    Hello,
    I have a problem with my ipod/itunes. Here is my story.
    I have bought an Ipod Touch 3 (32 GB) two months ago. I have installed itunes on my computer (running XP) and used it to synchronize my ipod (though I use manual sync for music & video).
    My computer is now dead (motherboard and disk, how lucky I am), I have setup a new one (running Seven) and installed itunes. The problem is now : how can I tell my ipod touch that this new computer is "its" computer ? When I click on "synchronize the apps" (as it was on my previous one), itunes warns me that it will erase my applications and application data with the library content. I have some important data in my touch (and applications downloaded from AppStore on it) and I don't want to loose something.
    So, what can I do to proceed to a clean migration between my old and new computer ? If I start from a empty library, will my ipod be emptied ?
    Thanks a lot in advance for your help.
    MD

    Soooo...the dirty hack has not worked (itunes is said as "damaged").
    I have tried something else and guess what : it worked. I tell here what I did, but I don't guarantee it will work for other users (so if you try it, it is at your own risk !).
    1) Full desinstall of itunes (including system directories related to it and librairy)
    2) Normal installation and first run. The new library is created
    3) Edit itunesmusiclibrary.xml and replace the unique library identifier by the one of the backuped itunesmusiclibrary.xml (don't forget to note the replaced identifier before replacing it)
    4) Edit itunesmusiclibrary.itl with an hexadecimal editor (I used ultraedit), search the old identifier and replace it with the new one.
    5) Launch itunes normally
    6) Plug the ipod touch : itunes should say that there is data on the ipod that is not in the library and ask if you want to put them (otherwise they will be removed). Choose yes
    7) Take a cup of coffee/tea/chocolate/whatever you want : the ipod will be backuped and the applications will be in the library.
    Now, the ipod touch is synchronized again with itunes for applications. Movies and music are not, but it is normal.
    I have not tested agenda/contacts, as I don't use them.

  • Transferring from old to new computer

    My computer recently got a virus that does not let me log on to the internet. I have since gotten a new computer. I was able to transfer my "purchased" songs that I had gotten from the iTunes store onto my new computer by following the online directions.
    However, I could not transfer the rest of my playlist that I had uploaded from my cds. I would like to keep the current order of songs in my playlist and not have to reload all of the cds into my new computer and manually order the entire playlist again.
    Can you please tell me how to do this. I have read a couple things that say I must be logged on to the internet on the old computer to transfer to the new computer but this is not possible because the old computer with the virus cannot connect to the internet. All help would be appreciated!!!

    Using iTunes, syncing between a computer and an ipod is designed to work ONLY one-way, from the comp to the 'pod, and not the other way. There are free 3rd-party utilities designed to do this, Google "itunes alternatives" and you'll find many possible options.

  • Transferring songs from Mini to new computer (old crashed)

    I have a new computer since my old one crashed, and I don't have any backup of my old songs. Is there any way to transfer the songs from my Ipod Mini to my new computer? I read that the transfer can only go from my computer to my Ipod unless I put the Ipod in disk mode, which I can't do, since I no longer have the Itunes my Ipod was connected to. I'm afraid if I hook the Ipod up to my new computer it will erase all my songs. HELP, please!

    No worry
    Download and install a 3rd party e.g. YamiPod and use it to copy the songs from your iPod to your new PC

  • HT201272 Transfering songs from ipod to new computer? its only transfering a few not all

    Can anyone tell me why my new computer wont transfer all my ipod songs to the library only a few and then when i try to sync new songs it says it can only do it from one library and wants to erase all the songs from my ipod when i click transfer from ipod to library its only transfering a few selceted songs

    Your i-device was not designed for unique storage of your media. It is not a backup device and media transfer is designed with you maintaining a master copy of your media on a computer which is itself properly backed up against loss. Syncing is one way, computer to device, updating the device content to the content on the computer, not updating or restoring content on a computer. The exception is purchased content.
    iTunes Store: Transferring purchases from your iOS device or iPod to a computer - http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1848 - only media purchased from iTunes Store
    For transferring other items from an i-device to a computer you will have to use third party commercial software. Examples (check the web for others; this is not an exhaustive listing, nor do I have any idea if they are any good):

  • 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!

  • Transferring Purchases from iPod to New Computer

    I have recently gotten a new laptop and I am having problems transferring my purchases from my iPod to the laptop. I have authorized the new computer and have followed the instructions given by Apple on how to transfer (Transfer Purchases from "__" with the iPod connected). However, it only "transfers" a few of the songs and I still can't play them. When I try to play any of the songs, it says that it can't locate the original file.
    Before connecting my iPod, I had transferred all of my music to my computer via an external hard drive. I have also tried moving the music files to the iTunes Media/Music folder as well as adding the original file from my hard drive to the iTunes library.

    There is authorization and "authorization"
    I did a similar move. I replaced my Itunes server with a new build. I successfully saved off the old Itunes folder to my Network Attached Storage box and later copied that archive from the NAS into My Music on the new Itunes server.
    The Itunes folder contained different types of data.
    For CDs I loaded DIRECTLY into Itunes, the data includes authorization to play the data - because Itunes verified that it was an origional CD that was played directly into Itunes.
    In a similar manner, if you have Itunes data that was purchased and downloaded from the Itunes Store, then you need to "Authorize" the computer with Itunes in order to play that Itunes Store procured data. This is the "you have done 3 of 5" authorization.
    Finally, for CDs that I loaded into my old server via Windows Media Player, when I did a consolidate in Itunes, it went out and found the WMP data on a disk I dedicated to WMP music files, and since it was authorized in WMP, Itunes would play it. When I went to the new server, Itunes had the Itunes version of the songs in its library, but would NOT play the songs that had been migrated into Itunes from WMP until I actually connected the hard drive with the WMP files on it so Itunes could satisfy itself that it has "autorized" copies of the music. As soon as I connected the Windows Media Player data drive, Itunes did a compare and updated the Itunes versions of the songs imported from WMP to authrized and plays them just fine.
    The alternative is to reload from the origional media.
    Hope this helps.
