Hi
I am using OS 10.6.8 and just installing logic pro 9. I am downloading the extra 20gig of material - the additional content packages. I am installing Logic on my laptop as well and dont want to download the extra 20 gig again. How do i go about transferring it from the computer to the laptop?
Thanks

And now a second newbie question. I have downloaded the additional content and booted up logic for the first time, but the apple loops have not installed and logic is asking me to reinstall the apple loops. But how do I do that? I can see they are in the libray so have downloaded.

Question about transferring files from a Mac

Hi there!
I want to ask about the new iPad mini (and or the iPad 3) especially with transferring files from a Mac.
I normally just do the "normal" way of transferring files (.doc files, .mp3 files or .mp4 video files) i.e. via the USB port of my Mac. But is there a faster, easier and a wireless way to do it?
Please advice.
Thanks.

Yes, it will need to,install it on any machine you wish to use it on.
also, you should spend some time on the Drobbox website to see how it works. You won't find it in the Mac App Store, but can still easily using it on a Mac.

My MBA is being shipped, question about transferring files from old PB

Hey guys,
I just ordered a new 13" MBA and am anxiously awaiting for it to arrive... I currently have a 12" Powerbook G4 with 10.5.8 that I use an external drive to back up with time machine.
My question is this; when I get my MBA will I be able to use the time machine back up to migrate my files even though my old computer has an older version of Mac OS on it?

A Basic Guide for Migrating to Intel-Macs
The Knowledgebase article Intel-based Mac: Some migrated applications may need to be updated refers to methods of dealing with migrating from PowerPC chips to Intel with the Migration Assistant safely. The authors of this tip have not had a chance to verify this works in all instances, or that it avoids the 10.6.1 and earlier Guest Account bug that caused account information to get deleted upon use of the Migration/Setup Assistant. However, a well backed up source that includes at least two backups of all the data that are not connected to your machine will help you avoid potential issues, should they arise. In event it does not work, follow the steps below.
If you are migrating a PowerPC system (G3, G4, or G5) to an Intel-Mac be careful what you migrate. Keep in mind that some items that may get transferred will not work on Intel machines and may end up causing your computer's operating system to malfunction.
Rosetta supports "software that runs on the PowerPC G3, G4, or G5 processor that are built for Mac OS X". This excludes the items that are not universal binaries or simply will not work in Rosetta:
Classic Environment, and subsequently any Mac OS 9 or earlier applications
Screensavers written for the PowerPC
System Preference add-ons
All Unsanity Haxies
Browser and other plug-ins
Contextual Menu Items
Applications which specifically require the PowerPC G5
Kernel extensions
Java applications with JNI (PowerPC) libraries
See also What Can Be Translated by Rosetta.
In addition to the above you could also have problems with migrated cache files and/or cache files containing code that is incompatible.
If you migrate a user folder that contains any of these items, you may find that your Intel-Mac is malfunctioning. It would be wise to take care when migrating your systems from a PowerPC platform to an Intel-Mac platform to assure that you do not migrate these incompatible items.
If you have problems with applications not working, then completely uninstall said application and reinstall it from scratch. Take great care with Java applications and Java-based Peer-to-Peer applications. Many Java apps will not work on Intel-Macs as they are currently compiled. As of this time Limewire, Cabos, and Acquisition are available as universal binaries. Do not install browser plug-ins such as Flash or Shockwave from downloaded installers unless they are universal binaries. The version of OS X installed on your Intel-Mac comes with special compatible versions of Flash and Shockwave plug-ins for use with your browser.
The same problem will exist for any hardware drivers such as mouse software unless the drivers have been compiled as universal binaries. For third-party mice the current choices are USB Overdrive or SteerMouse. Contact the developer or manufacturer of your third-party mouse software to find out when a universal binary version will be available.
Also be careful with some backup utilities and third-party disk repair utilities. Disk Warrior 4.1, TechTool Pro 4.6.1, SuperDuper 2.5, and Drive Genius 2.0.2 work properly on Intel-Macs with Leopard. The same caution may apply to the many "maintenance" utilities that have not yet been converted to universal binaries. Leopard Cache Cleaner, Onyx, TinkerTool System, and Cocktail are now compatible with Leopard.
Before migrating or installing software on your Intel-Mac check MacFixit's Rosetta Compatibility Index.

Transferring data with Setup Assistant - Migration Assistant FAQ
Because Migration Assistant isn't the ideal way to migrate from PowerPC to Intel Macs, using Target Disk Mode, copying the critical contents to CD and DVD, an external hard drive, or networking
will work better when moving from PowerPC to Intel Macs. The initial section below discusses Target Disk Mode. It is then followed by a section which discusses networking with Macs that lack Firewire.
If both computers support the use of Firewire then you can use the following instructions:
1. Repair the hard drive and permissions using Disk Utility.
2. Backup your data. This is vitally important in case you make a mistake or there's some other problem.
3. Connect a Firewire cable between your old Mac and your new Intel Mac.
4. Startup your old Mac in Target Disk Mode.
5. Startup your new Mac for the first time, go through the setup and registration screens, but do NOT migrate data over. Get to your desktop on the new Mac without migrating any new data over.
If you are not able to use a Firewire connection (for example you have a Late 2008 MacBook that only supports USB:)
1. Set up a local home network: Creating a small Ethernet Network.
2. If you have a MacBook Air or Late 2008 MacBook see the following:
MacBook (13-inch, Aluminum, Late 2008) and MacBook Pro (15-inch, Late 2008)- Migration Tips and Tricks;
MacBook (13-inch, Aluminum, Late 2008) and MacBook Pro (15-inch, Late 2008)- What to do if migration is unsuccessful;
MacBook Air- Migration Tips and Tricks;
MacBook Air- Remote Disc, Migration, or Remote Install Mac OS X and wireless 802.11n networks.
Copy the following items from your old Mac to the new Mac:
In your /Home/ folder: Documents, Movies, Music, Pictures, and Sites folders.
In your /Home/Library/ folder:
/Home/Library/Application Support/AddressBook (copy the whole folder)
/Home/Library/Application Support/iCal (copy the whole folder)
Also in /Home/Library/Application Support (copy whatever else you need including folders for any third-party applications)
/Home/Library/Keychains (copy the whole folder)
/Home/Library/Mail (copy the whole folder)
/Home/Library/Preferences/ (copy the whole folder)
/Home /Library/Calendars (copy the whole folder)
/Home /Library/iTunes (copy the whole folder)
/Home /Library/Safari (copy the whole folder)
If you want cookies:
/Home/Library/Cookies/Cookies.plist
/Home/Library/Application Support/WebFoundation/HTTPCookies.plist
For Entourage users:
Entourage is in /Home/Documents/Microsoft User Data
Also in /Home/Library/Preferences/Microsoft
Credit goes to Macjack for this information.
If you need to transfer data for other applications please ask the vendor or ask in the Discussions where specific applications store their data.
5. Once you have transferred what you need restart the new Mac and test to make sure the contents are there for each of the applications.

Mac newbie question about transferring files FROM iPod

I got an iPod 30G for xmas. I downloaded all my music from my computer to it. Then my hard drive crashed. But it doesn't seem like I can put the music back onto my new harddrive because it's some kind of "tunes" file instead of a data file. Admittedly, I don't know much about this stuff. But can someone tell me if it's possible to put the music back onto my computer from my iPod?
Thanks

How do I transfer music from work computer to Home?

My main iTunes library is located at home. Every day I go to work, plug my Nano into my work computer connect to iTunes and listen to music from my Nano.
Here's my problem. I like to download free songs of the week from iTunes to my computer at work. How do I move these downloaded songs to my computer at home? Thanks.

You could try to take them off your Nano--it's a little harder to move files from an iPod onto a computer but it can be done. I can't help you with this, I don't know how to do it, but if you search these forums there are lots of threads about how to do this.
To put a song file on a jump drive, open your iTunes folder (I assume this is where the file will be located) find the file folder for the artist you downloaded, then the album the song was on, and finally the song. Copy this to the jump drive.
Then, you'll need to copy this file to your home computer. Just reverse the steps. In your iTunes folder, make a folder for the artist, then one for the album, finally copy the song into this folder. Next, in iTunes, go to File > Add File to Library and navigate to this song file. When you click on the song for the first time to play it, you'll get a popup box asking if you want to authorize your computer to play the song. (You can authorize up to five computers to play downloaded songs--so make sure you're under this limit.)
That should do it.

Transfer music from work computer to home computer

I have dial up (dsl unavailable) on my system at home. It takes 15+ minutes to download one song purchased on iTunes. I can download a song in 10 - 15 seconds at work. Is it possible to put the songs I've purchased and downloaded at work onto a flash drive and transfer them back to my home computer. I've tried the share file between networks, but I work for a very well known company who's firewall protection doesn't allow any network sharing between non company computers. Am I simply stuck with the slow downloads? Thanks in advance.
Windows XP

sure, if i understand the question right. this is the only question i really know how to answer. if you have an ipod (which this whole plan hangs on), update it at work. then go home and download one small program: yamipod (google search it.) close itunes at home, attach your ipod, and open yamipod. the program can take the music from your ipod and put it onto your itunes library or your hardrive wheresoever you please. you can also do the flashdrive thing, if you don't have an ipod, but depending on how much music you have, that might take a while. if you know where your music is stored on the computer, just go to that folder. if not, do start, search, and type a song name. once it's found, right click the name and select "open containing folder." then open "my computer" on the desktop or start menu, select the flashdrive, and copy the music files, which should all be in that one location, to the flashdrive.
in terms of the ipod thing, though, you have to download the program, because itunes tries to block sharing of music through ipods.
hope that's helpful

Question re: transfering music from work to home computer

hello! My itunes at work has roughly 3500 songs on it and I have all those songs on my ipod. My husband wants to use my ipod while he works out and i wanted to create a playlist just for him (for the songs that he wants, so he doesnt have to hear my "country crap" as he calls it- lol)- anyway because all my songs are at work and there are at least 3500 songs he doesnt want to go through each song on my ipod, and write down all the songs he wants in his playlist. soooo-- is there a way to put the songs on our home computer too- so i can create the playlist and he can just listen to each song or pick the songs he knows add them to his playlist and be done with it? it can potentially be a one time thing since once he has gone through the bulk of the songs and he has his playlist started it will be easier to add since it most likely will be a cd or two- and not 3000 plus songs to go through. Hope I make sense.
thanks!!

You could move the songs from your iPod to your computer using an option like one of these...
YamiPod
MacMuse: Computer Crashed
You also can search the Discussions and the Internet (via Google) for more options.
That would be the easiest option.
If you want to move the songs from computer to computer (without your iPod), see this...

Question about transferring data from 3GS to iPhone 5

I upgraded from 3GS to iPhone 5. Before reading any articles on transferring data through iTunes, I configured my 3 email programs, contacts and calendar (Google). The Apple instuctions state that I should backup 3GS FIRST, then restore to iPhone 5. Question is, if I do the backup and restore AFTER having configured my mail programs, will that cause problems, such as creating duplicate accounts and contacts? I am especially concerned about creating duplicates in my contact list, which would be a semi-horror if I had to delete every other one of over 1,700 names. Perhaps I should delete my email accounts and contact list BEFORE restoring to my iPhone 5, basically start from scratch?

When restoring the device, whatever is currently setup on the device is irrelevant. Everything currently setup on the device will be erased.

Question about Transferring Files From External Hard Drive.

Ok so heres the thing.
I was having airport issues. blah blah they told me to reinstall everything from scratch with the installation disks. So i backed everything up on my harddrive, i clean installed..
& then transferred my stuff.
In addition to the user account i obviously created since it was clean installed. When i transferred my stuff back on.. it REcreated my old user account before i clean installed it.
So i had 2 user accounts. my "old" & "new" one.
that being said, does that mean i can get rid of the user account i just created??
Also, logging on to my "old user account" will it REaffect my airport & other things.
Basically will it be the exact same thing before i clean installed it??
*or NEW again but just with my old stuff just back on it* [im hoping for this)
or is it the same 'operating system' as before along with its problems.
Because i don't want to have more issues.
--srry for all the questions. lol

lacero415:
Welcome to Apple Discussions.
I suggest that you just leave both accounts there for the time being. Log into one of them, doesn't matter which, and use it for a while. Don't store any data until you know which one you want to use. Check out how Airport works, see if all your stuff is there etc. Then log into the other account for while and do the same. Then you can decide which one to keep. If you created any new data in the one to be deleted, be sure you move it to the one you will keep before deleting the other.
Good luck.

Question about transfering files from FAT32 Western Digital Ext Hard Drive

I have 2 320GB External Hard Drives that I have been using for my current Windows XP PC. Today I just purchased my first Mac, the iMac and was concerned about using the Hard Drives on my Mac. I have thousands of very important files on both drives and want to make sure they are safe. I want to use the drives as backup for my iMac like I have done for my Windows PC. Will this be a problem? and what precautions should I take when using my Western Digital Hard Drive on my new Mac?

Starnerg wrote:
I intend to use it as a backup. Im not goint to be using the Windows computer anymore. I plan on copying over GB's worth of folders. Im not sure what "TM" is...
TM is TimeMachine, the built-in backup engine in Leopard. It requires HFS+ format.
If you no longer intend to use Windows, I would suggest reformatting the drives to HFS+, the standard Mac FileSystem, but of course you have to backup the data to a third drive before reformatting which will destroy all data on the drives.
If you format the third drive HFS+ then when you copy the files from the FAT32 drive you save an operation.

Question about the updates from a computer-moron

Hey, um, I see there are a few versions of the OS X update, so I'm wondering, what's the "combo" version? And which should I download? And is it neccesary to download it?

It's only necessary to download the update if you wish to update to the new version. You can do so via Software Update or you can download the standalone updaters directly from Apple's download site. There are two basic versions of the updaters: The Delta version can be used to update only from 10.4.8. The Combo updater can be used to update from any prior version of Tiger (10.4 - 10.4.8.) Combo updaters include all prior updates. Delta updates only include the code needed to update from the last version.
Before updating you should:
1. Make a bootable backup of your current system to an external Firewire drive.
How to Clone Using Restore Option of Disk Utility
1. Open Disk Utility from the Utilities folder.
2. Select the backup or destination volume from the left side list.
3. Click on the Erase tab in the DU main window. Set the format type to Mac OS Extended (journaled, if available) and click on the Erase button. This step can be skipped if the destination has already been freshly erased.
4. Click on the Restore tab in the DU main window.
5. Select the backup or destination volume from the left side list and drag it to the Destination entry field.
6. Select the startup or source volume from the left side list and drag it to the Source entry field.
7. Double-check you got it right, then click on the Restore button.
2. Repair your hard drive and permissions. You will need to boot from your OS X Installer Disc to do this.
Repairing the Hard Drive and Permissions
Boot from your OS X Installer disc. After the installer loads select your language and click on the Continue button. When the menu bar appears select Disk Utility from the Installer menu (Utilities menu for Tiger.) After DU loads select your hard drive entry (mfgr.'s ID and drive size) from the the left side list. In the DU status area you will see an entry for the S.M.A.R.T. status of the hard drive. If it does not say "Verified" then the hard drive is failing or failed. (SMART status is not reported on external Firewire or USB drives.) If the drive is "Verified" then select your OS X volume from the list on the left (sub-entry below the drive entry,) click on the First Aid tab, then click on the Repair Disk button. If DU reports any errors that have been fixed, then re-run Repair Disk until no errors are reported. If no errors are reported click on the Repair Permissions button. Wait until the operation completes, then quit DU and return to the installer. Now shutdown the computer for a couple of minutes and then restart normally.
If DU reports errors it cannot fix, then you will need Disk Warrior (4.0 for Tiger) and/or TechTool Pro (4.5.2 for Tiger) to repair the drive. If you don't have either of them or if neither of them can fix the drive, then you will need to reformat the drive and reinstall OS X.

Simple Question About Transferring Songs From Ipod

I recently bought a new iPod 80 gb, and gave my little sister my old 30 gb iPod. Both of them are fifth generation iPods and we use Windows XP as our operating systems. We use separate computers.
Now her iPod has the music from my iTunes. My question is whether or not one can take mp3s from an iPod and transfer them onto another computer, by a certain program maybe?

this is an option
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=300173
or
you can download third party software that will allow you to take the information on your ipod and trasfer it back on to your computer.. you can find these programs at www.versiontracker.com
a few that are free for windows are iPod->Folder 1.2 or YamiPod - 1.0.1

Question About Transferring Apps From iPad

*****Sorry for the waste of space and time. I finally found an article saying that it cannot be done. Apps stay in the name they were downloaded with.*****
I am wondering if you can transfer Apps with multiple accounts to iTunes with one account stored? I know this may be confusing so let me explain a little bit. Alright, I have an account and so of course I have intalled Apps onto my iPad. Now my girlfriend also has an account and she has installed some Apps onto my iPad. I believe I have three different accounts tied to several Apps on my iPad. Now I know I can transfer purchases by doing this...
My question is, is there a way to correlate all 3 accounts' Apps to one single account? That way I don't have to sign in and out for every account. I just hate having to call and ask for their login information everytime I want to get updates or transfer things from my iPad to my iMac. Obviously some of the Apps were installed on my iPad through their accounts by the use of their funds, and it's not like they would just appear on my iPad without them doing so. There must be a way to do this...

I have the same issue. I've heard at this time there is no way to consolidate accounts. Let's hope we'll be able to do it in the future!
