Trying to move my music to external hd, won't let me.  What is the problem?

I'm trying to move my music to an external hd to back up.  Won't let me do it.  I've tried moving the folder, won't let me.  Help, please!

You don't explain how you're attempting to do it teresa so here are the instructions from Apple:

  • I have some songs that have an exclamantion point next to them and I can't get them to sync.  I had to move them manually into a playlist and succeeded in doing that but now the playlist won't sync.  What's the problem?

    I have the same problem and I am very upset. I have heard that Apple/iTunes is removing all songs that are unlicened for this type of download. Apple does not want to be responsible for pirated music. Much of mine is down loaded from CD's.  I have to go to search and put in every song and then, if found,  put it into My Music then back into iTunes.  WHAT A HASSLE. I don't remeber reading anything about this. 224 songs so far.  NOT HAPPY.

    It is a known issue and un-conventional remedy.
    It is Hardware failure. I would get the iPhone changed for a good one.

    I'm trying to put in a URL like abc.def.com/ghi/jkl but it won't let me enter the forward slashes. Is there any way to make it accept the forward slashes or get around this? Thank you.

    The TFTP server is managed by a different company and there are thousands of devices that pull configs from that location. Changing the TFTP server isn't really an option. 

  • My iTunes Store on IPhone comes up with an error ([newNullResponse]). It is just on the music tab, tv shows and movies tab works fine. I have tried restarting phone, closing app, turning my account off and on. What is the problem I need help?!!!!

    My iTunes Store on iPhone comes up with an error [newNullResponse] always when I click the music tab. The movies and tv shows tab works fine. I have tried everything from restarting my phone to turning my account off and on.

    Try a different cable and a different charger. If neither fixes it you probably need a new battery. Apple will replace it for $80 in the US; I don't know what the charge is in other locations.

  • I am trying to decrease the size of my aperature library on my MB Pro HD.  I used  file\ relocate master to move files to my External HD(EHD) and this worked.  However, the size of my MBP library has not decreased.

    I am trying to decrease the size of my aperature library on my MB Pro HD.  I used  file\ relocate master to move files to my External HD(EHD) and this worked.  However, the size of my MBP library has not decreased.  I do not want to delete the files on my MB Pro until I am confident Aperature can see the files on the EHD.  It looks like the relocate master fxn just copies the masters and data to another location. 

    Relocate master (or original in newer versions) does move and not copy the master file. Jut to make sure I just ram a test and moved some images out of the library to an external drive and they were definitely gone from the Aperture library.
    If you look at the images in the library that you moved do they have the referenced file badge? If you run a filter on your library looking for referenced files do the images you relocated show up? If you select one of the images and do a Show in Finder what does it show? Finally if you select the images and do Locate Referenced files do they appear listed as being on the volume you put them on?
    You could go into the library and look for the masters you moved to see if they are still there but if all the above show you they were relocated then I don;t think you will find them.
    How are you checking the library size? Have you quit Aperture and restarted it (better would be to log out and log back in) and then checked the size? It is possible that some of that data is cached and won't get updated till you restart.
    Finally you could do a library repair in case something got 'stuck'.

  • Can some please provide instructions on how to import an iPhoto library from an old Mac to a new Mac without getting a bunch of duplicates?  I tried transferring my pictures using an external hard drive and then copying it to the Pictures folder on my Mac

    Can someone please provide instructions on how to import an iPhoto library from an old Mac to a new Mac without getting a bunch of duplicates?  I tried transferring my pictures using an external hard drive and then copying it to the Pictures folder on my new Mac.  I ended up getting a bunch of duplicates. My old Mac has an older version of iPhoto while the new Mac has iPhoto '11.  Is that the cause of the problem?  Please advise.  Thanks.

    Simply copy the iPhoto Library from the Pictures Folder on the old Machine to the Pictures Folder on the new Machine.
    Then launch iPhoto. That's it.
    This moves photos, events, albums, books, keywords, slideshows and everything else.

  • Trying to copy iPhoto Library to external hard drive for backup.  Error message:  The Finder can't complete the operation because some data in "iPhoto Library" can't be read or written (Error code -36).

    Make sure the EHD is formatted OS X Extended (journaled) and run Disk Utilty on the EHD and repair the disk.  If that fails to help I'd try the following:
    Using iPhoto Library Manager  to Rebuild Your iPhoto Library
    Download iPhoto Library Manager and launch.
    Click on the Add Library button,                         
    navigate to your Home/Pictures folder and select your iPhoto Library folder.
    Now that the library is listed in the left hand pane of iPLM, click on your library and go to the Library ➙ Rebuild Library menu option
    In the next  window name the new library and select the external HD as the location of the newly rebild library.
    Click on the Create button.
    Note 1: This creates a new library based on the LIbraryData.xml file in the library and will recover Events, Albums, keywords, titles and comments. However, books, calendars, cards and slideshows will be lost.
    Note 2:  Your current library will be left untouched for further attempts at a fix if so desired.

  • When I move high quality clips into my timeline in Final Cut Express HD, they look and export low quality. I have tried converting the clips and de-interlacing them, but they always look the same, What is the problem? Thanks so much.

    When I move high quality clips into my timeline in Final Cut Express HD, they look and export low quality. I have tried converting the clips and de-interlacing them, but they always look the same, What is the problem? Thanks so much.

    You should check that the Project settings match the clip settings before editing them to the Timeline.
    Only newly created Projects will change not existing ones by adjusting the Project settings.
    If, for example, you have a Project set to NTSC DV you can only end up in trouble if the clips are PAL 1920 x 1080i.

  • I have a non intel G5 and would like to download i-tune songs that I have recently purchased. I have tried everything and can't find the downloads. Did this G5 just become obsolete with itunes? If not what is the problem?

    You can do it with Leopard but it depends upon the iTunes version which you did not reveal.  Also make sure you are looking in the right place for purchases.
    Consider buying a backup drive so you do not need to do this again.  If you are going to run old hardware and software you need to live differently because yes, at some time you will find your version of iTunes no longer works.  You're lucky it still works with Leopard.  As you can see, some versions still work with the iTunes Store but not for repeat downloading.
    Downloading (using iOS or computer) past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store - http://support.apple.com/kb/ht2519 - enabled with iTunes 10.3 and newer; not all media formats are available in all countries (see: iTunes in the Cloud, iTunes Match, and iTunes Radio availability by country - http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5085); apps, books (not audiobooks), music, t.v. shows, and movies (some - not all studios have permitted this).  Downloading previously purchased movies and TV shows requires iTunes 10.6 or later.  Discontinued items not available. For items not included in the iCloud list (e.g., ringtones, audiobooks), or locations or computer systems where iCloud is not (yet?) available, you only get one download per fee paid.  Apple recommends,  "... back up your iTunes library. " (http://support.apple.com/kb/ht2519).
    Additional tip at https://discussions.apple.com/message/24176756#24176756
      Select the iTunes Store on the left side of iTunes if you have the sidebar displayed, or with the button at the top right.
      Click on Purchased on the right side under Quick Links (see https://discussions.apple.com/message/26364186#26364186)
      You can re-download your available previous purchases.

    Hi Memalyn
    Essentially, the bare issue is that you have a 500GB hard drive with only 10GB free. That is not sufficient to run the system properly. The two options you have are to move/remove files to another location, or to install a larger hard drive (eg 2TB). Drive space has nothing to do with SMC firmware, and usually large media files are to blame.
    My first recommendation is this: download and run the free OmniDiskSweeper. This will identify the exact size of all your folders - you can drill down into the subfolders and figure out where your largest culprits are. For example, you might find that your Pictures folder contains both an iPhoto Library and copies that you've brought in from a camera but are outside the iPhoto Library structure. Or perhaps you have a lot of purchased video content in iTunes.
    If you find files that you KNOW you do not need, you can delete them. Don't delete them just because you have a backup, since if the backup fails, you will lose all your copies.
    Don't worry about "cleaners" for now - they don't save much space and can actually cause problems. Deal with the large file situation first and see how you get on.
    Let us know what you find out, and if you manage to get your space back.

  • Screen goes black.....I've tried everything!!!  what's the problem???

    went to verizon store (which turned out to be a "reseller store"...more on that later) for my "new every two" upgrade.....guy told me about the new samsung fascinate....he even told me i would actually be the first person to buy one from him.......probably after a week after purchasing the phone, i noticed that my screen would on occasion go black, and i could not get it to "wake up".  the phone is still on.....when i touch the bottom icons, they light up white.....phone definitely still on.....phone can ring, and i can even answer it by sliding the puzzle piece in place (screen stays black, i just know where the piece is). 
    i took it to the store where i purchased it....same guy who sold me the phone says it is almost definitely from some sort of app and i should try deleting all my apps.....i told him i had searched the internet looking for some answers, and there were a few known issues with samsung fascinate blank screens......he said to delete the apps and see what happens.  so like an idiot, i left hoping he would be correct.  well i deleted all my apps when i got home.....didn't make a difference....still had the same problem.
    a day or two later, i was near a regular verizon retailer.....went to tech specialist.....as i was with him, the phone had the "black screen of death".....he was puzzled by it.....he looked it up on the computer and he told me that it was a "known issue" that verizon was aware of.  i then asked him if i could swap the phone for another phone as it was still within 30 days of my purchase.....he said he could not do that since i bought from a "reseller".....the official verizon stores would not honor the return of phones purchased from resellers and that i would have to go back through the reseller (this was frustrating news)  he told me all about official verizon stores vs. the reseller stores.....he told me that the official verizon stores always have service technicians.  i had assumed that since the store where i purchased the phone said verizon all over the front and even had verizon flags flying out front that it was a verizon store.....turns out it wasn't quite the same.  the verizon tech also said that even if i had purchased the phone from the official retailer, they would NOT swap it with a new fascinate since it was a known issue.  i would have to get something else.
    after leaving the official verizon store, i went straight to the other store......told the salesman the whole story......he reset the phone for me.  as i'm on the way home after the fresh reset....guess what.....same problem.....black screen of death.
    so here i am again......{word filter avoidance}
    is wrong with my phone?  aside from the black screen, i really do like the phone, but at this point, i don't know what the problem is and my new phone is worthless.  i'm heading back to the reseller again (for the third time now) and i guess i'll try to get another phone......i really like the fantasy, but i have no faith in it. 
    i have reset the phone 3 times now myself, i actually just did it the third time just before this post.  i reset the phone, and screen went black within just a few minutes....can't get it back.  phone is on.....i can hear a call and texts......what could the problem be?????  i've tried everything noah suggested.....charger in and out....remove battery.....i've done all that....1,000 times.  when the phone does actually wake up, it seems to be completely random as to when it happens.....there's NOTHING i can do to wake it up, and there's NOTHING i can do to stop it from crashing out.
    PLEASE HELP!!!!  i've removed battery.....reset.....removed all apps.....put on and off of charger.....my next move is to smash this {word filter avoidance}
    into about 5,000 pieces.
    ps - i've had a verizon cell phone for 16 years....i've never had a problem like this with a brand new phone.  i hate to say it, but fascinate owners BEWARE.  i can say with 100% certainty that i did not damage this phone.....and i did download some apps, but not that many, and they were all very highly rated and recommended....this should not have happened.
    and also, i'm sure there are some great resellers out there, but from what the official verizon guy told me, you are definitely better off buying directly from verizon. 

    If you have not done a factory reset on the device, I recommend doing a complete  factory reset.  
    Factory Reset  - Warning this will reset device back to original factory settings.

    Turn off the phone 
    Press Power + Volume Up/Down at the same time and hold until display will show a triage android screen 
    Display will show: 
    Reboot system Now 
    Apply sdcard:update.zip 
    Wipe Data/Factory Reset 
    Wipe Cache Partition
    Use VOL Down key to scroll down to "Wipe Data/Factory Reset", press home icon to select option and wipe device. 
    Display shows "All user data will be wiped out", press VOLUME Up to continue or VOLUME Down to exit. 
    Press Volume Up 
    Press Home to select "Reset System Now" - device will reboot
    If the problem persist I recommend having a store technician take a look at the device.
