Transferring pictures from old computer to new computer

I purchased a flash drive but I don't really know what to do when transferring pics from one computer to another. Help!

Your first job is to find where the pictures are on your computer. Once you find those files, you need to drag them to the drive, which should be under My Computer. Then, just do the reverse to move them to the other computer.

HT4527 When transferring iTunes from old computer to new computer, even though all of songs were copied over, not all of them went to iTunes, some appear to be stored elsewhere. How can I find these songs, and how do I transfer them to iTunes?

When transferring iTunes from old computer to new computer, all my songs were copied over, but not all of them were stored in iTunes. It appears they are on the computer somewhere, but not on iTunes. Where are these other songs likely to be, and how can I get them onto iTunes? Because of this problem, Apple will not allow me to update my iPhone.

You may/must have had music files stored outside of your iTunes library.
I'd recommend going to the Finder and then via the search box look for files with mp3 aif m4a aac etc. depending on the music format your digital music had. With the list of files shown you should be able to learn which files were stored outside of your music > itunes folder
Chances are they could be burried somewhere under your documents, downloads, desktop, ... we all have different storage and organization habits.
Then when you find the missing files, on the new computer you can do add to library and go to the folder on the other computer where the missing files are - if your systems are networked - or sneak them over using a USB thumb drive or portable hard drive if you have lots of files, or if you like to have an extra backup of that music, copy to optical disc.

How do I move pictures from old iphone to new iphone

How do I move pictures from old iphone to new iphone

If you want to transfer your camera roll photos, along with text messages and other data and settings from your old phone to your new one, back up the old phone then restore the backup to your new one (see http://support.apple.com/kb/ht2109). If you only want to transfer the photos, import them from your old phone to your computer as explained here: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4083, then put them in a folder and sync them to your new phone by selecting the folder on the Photos tab of your iTunes sync settings and syncing. (Be aware that photos synced to your phone using iTunes can only be deleted later by syncing them off again. They can't be deleted directly on the phone.)

Transferred library from old PC to new, lost all files dl'd from ITunes

Transferred music files from old pc to new with minimal difficulty, but have now realized all songs downloaded to my library from ITunes have failed to make the trip!
I used the Ipod itself to transfer the files, as I couldn't figure out how to get the 2 pc's to transfer files via a wireless connection. Now my 60gb Ipod which had ~5800 songs using ~22gb its memory states it has 5275 songs on it and only 15.7gb available. Where did I manage to screw this up?
I imagine there is a problem where this new computer has not been authorized. True? When I first download some new songs from Itunes, will it then be authorized and my songs will reappear? Why is the amount of memory affected?
Thanks mucho for any available help. I have searched for quite a while, but haven't been able to find someone who has had the same experience or trouble.

I'd imagine that's because you had no music files on your newly reformatted drive, and when you reattached your shuffle it loaded an empty file, hence no tunes.
This (transferring the files from computer to computer) was done using the instructions found here.

Don't know if that works for the shuffle, though.

Transfering photos from old laptop to new with different versions of PS elmnts

We have PS Elements 4 on an old lap top, running Windows Vista, which is beginning to fail.
Have just purchased new lap top running Windows 8 which will not accept PS Elements 4 as it is incompatible, but it has partially loaded.
Shop says they transfered photos across from one to the other but cannot find any of the tags for 7000 plus photos.
Am intending to buy PS Elements 12. but being 70 plus am not computer savvy.
Is there a step by step idiots guide on how to get said 7000 plus photos, complete with all the tags on them, from old LT to new LT at the same time converting them from PSE4 to PSE 12.
Regards

This document is from Adobe, certainly not step-by-step! If you plan to convert the old catalog, I suggest that you get help in view of the reservation which you have identified.

HT3258 after transferring data from old mac to new mac, I can't see the transfer files and application on new mac.?

Transfer of all the files and application was successful but I can't see it on the New Mac.
Help.

Thanks for your reply
I did reboot the system.

One thing though when the system finished transferring the files
at the end a message came up
" 2013-09-11 04:18:05 +0000 Paul Nirwan could not be created.
I did the transfer two times, same thing. first time I used the WiFi
and second time from my back up disk with USB connection, using Migration Assistant.
Second time also said that Paul'Mac already exist, Paul'Mac 2 created.
How can I get rid of first data trasnferred?
It will be using too much space on hard drive if Ileave it therre.

New used computer doesn't have iPhoto so can't transfer pictures from old computer without upgrading new one. Is there a way to download an older version of iPhoto?

I can't access any of my iPhoto pictures from my old computer since the new (used) computer I got doesn't have it. The new one is a newer version but the applestore only has the iLife 11 which would need me to upgrade. I'm not against upgrading I really just want to access these photos. I used an external harddrive to store the pictures from my old computer and am assuming that the only reason they're not showing up on the new one is because it doesn't have the applicatin (makes sense).
Is there a way to get an older version of iPhoto?
The pictures from iPhoto that are on the external harddrive will show up if i had to the application right? Will they show up on a newer version of iphoto even though they're originally from an older version?
Ahh sorry if this is confusing I'm just really frustrated at technology right now..../////

Is there a way to get an older version of iPhoto?
I suggest you don't do that. There is no guarantee it will work right with a more recent OS.
Install the correct version of iPhoto for the version of Mac OS X you are running. (Which is what?) The folks here will tell you how to get to the Library on the external drive when you provide more info about your computer.

Transferring Files from Old Computer to New Computer

I upgraded my iTunes to 9.1.1 on my old computer (and new computer). On the old computer, I have everything organized in playlists. When I transferred all my music from my old computer to my new computer (via ipod), my playlists do not show up. All the songs are in Music on the top of iTunes. Is there anyway to transfer the itunes exactly as it appears on my old computer to my new computer? Would a USB transfer cable take care of this problem? Please help

Hi there,
what you did is only transfer all of the MEDIA files into your new computer's iTunes. There is no problem with doing this, but all the media files include are well, the media obviously, and the tagging info (which displays name/artist/album/etc.) If all you do is move the media files onto the new computer and load iTunes, a new copy of iTunes (with no playlists/ratings/play counts and new settings) will load up, and put your content in it.
If you wish to preserve your playlists/ratings/etc, you need to import the iTunes Library File as well. This is by default located in your iTunes directory. So instead of just moving everything from "iTunes Media" (default location), it is best to move the ENTIRE "iTunes" folder, with the Library file and your media files.
However, one trick may still work. If you transfer JUST the Library file over (iTunes Library.itl), transfer it to your new computer, REPLACE the current iTunes Library file with the old one (so delete the new one, put the old one there). Open iTunes while holding SHIFT down the whole time, until a screen pops up asking you to find a library. Select choose library, and go to the location of the Library file we just moved. Select it, and if all goes well your playlists should be there!
You might come across one issue however, and that is if you changed the relative location of your media files. For example if you USED to have it on an external drive "my Music" and now it is on the internal drive in a folder labeled "iTunes Music", the computer may not be able to find your songs because it is looking in the wrong place. If that happens, and you are willing to lose your play counts and ratings, it actually might be more of a time saver to start over again and make your playlists from scratch.

Transferring ipod from old computer to new computer

I have recently purchased a MacBook afer many years of owning a PC. I currently have my ipod connected to the old PC and would like to transfer it to my new computer. I have transferred the music files to itunes on the new computer but the ipod is still only syncing properly with the old computer.
How do i properly change the ipod from one computer to another?

You will need to re-sync to your new computer. This will erase all the files on the iPod and put what is in your MacBooks library in.
Be sure you have all the music off the iPod you want save. I like to use YamiPod to do this. It allows you to pull everything off your iPod in case there is some music there that isn't on your old computer.
I hope you enjoy your MacBook as much as I enjoy mine. Makes me wonder why I didn't switch to Macs sooner.

HT4527 Transfering music from old computer to new computer

I followed the directions using my ipod as a hard drive to copy the itunes folder from my old computer and transfered it to My Music on the new computer. The folder is there with all the songs but when I open itunes, the music isn't there. What am I doing wrong.

Have you told your computer's iTunes via File > Add To Library that they are there ?

Transferring music from old computer to new

I lost all of my music while trying to sync my Ipod touch to my new computer. However, I still have my Itunes library on my old computer, which is on its last leg. This includes many songs copied from CD's, which would take hours to duplicate. Is there any way of copying the Itunes library other than with a USB device as the USB ports don't seem to be working? It doesn't seem to be recognizing the ethernet cable either, so CD?

- You can burn to CD and then import from that CD on the new computer.
- You could also take the HD out of the computer and place it in an external enclosure that has a USB connection and then connect to the your computer and import.

Try following these instructions.

Transferring music from old computer to new computer

How do I transfer my itunes music library from my old to new computer? I will not have both computers hooked together so plan to do this using an external hard drive. Is there a code to input in my new computer/itunes so the previously downloaded music can play on the new computer. I'm going from XP Home to Windows 7.

dwb
Yes I think it is better to use the same account name. The thing that's puzzled me is Apple make no mention of the issue of account name in their transfer instructions.
From some experiments on my PC moving my music folder around, I think what iTunes does is to check in the music folder if it can't find a track in the library.
If you move the music folder, the existing tracks are not moved. But if you move a folder from the old to the new location using Windows, iTunes seems to notice that you did it and doesn't mind. Also if you move the music folder back to it's original location, iTunes is quite happy with that too.
I think the effect of this is that although the path name for tracks is wrong when you copy the library file to the new PC, iTunes finds the tracks as long as they are in the new iTunes Music Folder
It is a nuisance that the library file is encrypted so you can't see what it is up to.

Transferring itunes from old computer to new one

I need to transfer my itunes songs from my old computer to my new one. I am going to donate my old computer, so I'll wipe it clean once I'm done. I just wanted to know if there is an efficient way to transfer songs to a new computer since I already did a lot of work loading songs onto the old one!
Thanks!

There's a good guide at this link: "New PC & moving itunes library" http://blog.jillesvangurp.com/2006/01/09/new-pc-moving-itunes-library/
