Transferring Music and Photo Files from Mac OS 10.5 to iOS 6.0

Hello,
I recently purchased an iPad 4 that runs iOS 6.0. I would like to transfer my music and photo libraries from my iMac that runs OS 10.5.8 ((Leopard). My iMac is network wirelessly on my LAN along with an iBook, printers, and a PC. I understand that I'm not able to add the iPad to the network, unfortunately. However, I found an app (Good Reader) that lets me create a WiFi connection between my iMac and iPad, but only transfer files into the Good Reader app itself.  Can someone suggest a workaround to be able to transfer my music and photo libraries so I can use them on the iPad? thank you very much for any ideas.
Bob W.

    If you manually manage the device the you can remove the content from the PC after you have put it on the device. However this isn't the recommended way. At some point you'll probably need to restore it which involves wiping all the data. If you don't have all this data to hand then you'll have to try to recover it from a now problematic device first. It's much easier to sync with your library - yes you have two copies, but that's not a waste, it is prudent. As long as you have two copies you can afford to lose one knowing you have a backup. In practice I keep a complete backup of my library, in addition to the subsets of it that I can put on my devices.

  • Transferring music and photo's

    I have a Desktop PC...Macbook Pro...Ipad..Iphone...Imac in my home.  My music and photo's are on my Macbook Pro and whenever I want to update my Iphone or Ipad I connect to to my Macbook Pro.  Now I would like to update everything from my Desktop PC.  What is the easiest way to move my music and photo's from my Macbook Pro onto my desktop PC so I can, going forward, connect my Iphone or Ipad to my Desktop PC in order to update everything.  I do also have an Icloud account.  Thank You.

    For iPhoto, launch iPhoto, select "photos" in the left column, then go up to "edit" in the top menu bar, and select "select all".  Now go to the top menu bar - file / export - when the export window opens, change the "jpeg quality" to maximum, and change the "file name" drop down to "use title", then click "export".  Another window opens, and you want to select "desktop", then "new folder" in the bottom left.  Name the folder, then click create.  Now click OK in the bottom right. 
    Once the export is finished, move the folder to an external drive, and then to the other computer.

    - Are you saying that they are not listed in your Purchased section?
    Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store
    - Are they listed in your Puchases history when you log into your account on your computer?
    - Are they still available now for purchase? If not then you are out of luck
    If they are still available and listed in your Puchase History then contact iTunes

    Get a third drive if needed, open the Time Machine pane of System Preferences, set it not to exclude that drive, and drag the files to it. If you're moving an iTunes or iPhoto library, launch the application with the Option key held down and choose the moved library.

    If you want to drag and drop ( don;t know why you would do this), you will have to check manually manage music.
    Why not just sync?

  • Import music and photo library from i pad to mac book pro

    i had a problem with the hard drive of my mac book pro and sold all conents. I now want to put the music and photo library and import it on the mac. it does not allow me to do it. what is the best way to do it so i have my library again on the mac books?

    You should be able to copy iTunes purchased music back via File > Devices > Transfer Purchases, but for music from other sources (e.g. copied from CDs), and if you don't have a copy of it anywhere else, then you will need a third-party program to copy it back from your iPad - there are some programs listed half-way down this page which should be able to copy it : https://discussions.apple.com/docs/DOC-3991
    If you've changed the hard-drive on your Mac you may also find this page for syncing to a new computer useful : https://discussions.apple.com/docs/DOC-3141
    For photos, if they were taken with the iPad, copied to it via the camera connection kit, or saved from emails/websites then on a Mac you can use Image Capture, iPhoto or Aperture to copy them off : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4083
    To copy photos that were originally synced from a computer you will need a third-party app on your iPad such as Simple Transfer which can copy them off via your wifi network. But as photos are 'optimised' when they are synced to an iPad, any that you then copy back to a computer may not be exactly the same as they originally were on your computer.

  • Trouble sharing Music and Photos on new Mac Book Pro

    I am loving my new Mac Book Pro. Front Row seems quite promising, but I'm having problems with shared music and photos.
    I have an airport network in my home and have most of my music and photos stored on my desktop (Dual G4). When I open iTunes on my new MBP the shared music works just fine. Similarly, iPhotos shows the shared photos from my desktop on my MBP.
    But, when I try using Front Row, I get an error message saying that there is no shared content. I found a work around that seems to work most (but not all) of the time. If I open iTunes first, start playing a song (shared from the desktop) and then switch over to Front Row it shows that song as now playing and then the rest of the shared music is available.
    I have used Software Update to download the latest version of all software on both computers and for my airport network.
    Any help you can offer will be greatly appreciated.
    Thanks,
    David

    Heya David,
    If you haven't already please update to 10.4.8. If issue persists then try the following:
    Remove the following files to the trash (do not empty until you test for function):
    ~/library/caches
    ~/library/preferences/com.apple.itunes.plist
    ~/library/prefernces/com.apple.iphoto.plist
    ~/library/preferences/com.apple.frontrow.plist
    - Repair your permissions - > http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?path=DiskUtility/10.5/en/duh17.html
    - Restart your computer again
    - Test and see how its working
    Hope that helps!

  • Transfering Music and Photos to New MacBook

    Hi.I have a 3 year old MacBook Pro and have just recently purchased a brand new MacBook. I was wondering what the best way to transfer all my music and photos to my new mac would be. I have a big external hard drive so would it be worth just copy the root folders on to my external and then transferring them to my new Mac. There is a lot of junk on my old MacBook so I don’t want a straight transfer I just want to be able to transfer the items that I want to keep.
    Thanks Matt

    If you have a FireWire Cable, then another idea could be Target Disk Mode, which is explained here:

  • Transfering music and photos

    hi, iam trying to transfer music,photos,and doc from imac to powerbook,
    i have done the firewire connection but can not find the relevant files to drag over, ihave already moved some applications, but need help to find file. also where do i move music and pics to.??

    Assuming you're talking about your iTunes and iPhoto music and photos, they're in your user folder. Open your user folder and you'll see a 'Music' folder, inside which you'll find a folder named iTunes. Just copy that to the 'Music' folder in your new user folder on your new computer. In your user folder you'll also find a 'Pictures' folder, inside which is a file called iPhoto Library. Again, just copy that to the 'Pictures' folder in your new user folder on your new computer.
    Now all this assumes you've used the default settings which consolidates all your music and pictures into these two locations.

  • Transfering music and photo library

    My main computer with my Itunes library has crashed and can not be recovered. Is there a way to transfer my music and photos that are on my Iphone to my new computer? When I try to manage the library, Itunes wants to erase my my iphone library and replace it with the one on the new computer which holds no songs or photos (it's new). I using a PC with windows XP.
    Any help would be greatly appreciated??

    For music, if it is music purchased from iTunes, you can cancel the message asking to sync and erase the iPhone. Then from the File menu select "Transfer Purchases From..."
    This will copy your purchased music, videos and applications to the computer.
    For photos, the camera roll can be imported using Microsoft Scanner and Camera Wizard.
    The non-camera role photos can be emailed to yourself. There is no other way to get them off the iPhone.
    Contacts and Calendars will Sync over.

  • Does time capsule backup all the music and photo files?

    I do not have any files excluded for backup with my time capsule.  So, are all my music and photos stored on my MacBook Pro and iMac backed up each time? 
    Does it also back up the Photostream in iPhoto?
    I am a little confused about all this and do not want to lose any of these files if my MBP hard drive crashes. 

    Time Machine will back up the iTunes Media Folder, which stores all of your music and video.....and it will also back up the iPhoto Library used with iPhoto.
    Time Machine does not backup the entire libraries each time that it runs. Time Machine backs up the entire contents of your Mac on the first "master" backup. Once that is done, Time Machine only backs up the changes that have occurred on your Mac since the last backup.
    So, if you have made any changes to the iTunes Media Folder or iPhoto Library since the last backup, Time Machine will pick up the change and back that up on the next pass when Time Machine runs.
    Best to ask your question about Photostream in the iPhoto support area. My understanding is that images are normally stored in iCloud, but if you have downloaded images permanently to your Mac, they are stored in the iPhoto Library, which will be backed up.

  • Transferring large volume of files from mac to PC?

    Hi i have a mac with osx 10.4.8 and a pc, i need to transfer a large amount of files from mac to pc (around 200GB)
    Now i have lots of external HDs which are all used by either the PC or the macs. the ones formatted for the macs cannot be read atall by the PC without some expensive software, the PC formatted one i have appears to be readable on the mac, but when i try to copy the files onto it or change anything, i am not able to change/add anythingn due to permissions problems.
    Not sure what to do, i have quite a few HDs with plenty of sapce, but if they are all in the wrong format i cant really wipe/reformat them easily with files on them, nor do i want to buy yet another HDD just to transfer some files....
    Any ideas/advice?
