Unable to transfer i=tunes to new computer

I have tried to transfer my i-tunes library to my new computer. I have been ollowing the instructions on the I-Tunes site, which tells me to connect the i-pod to the new computer and to clickon the i-pod device and then drag the i-tunes folder to the desk-top. However no -iTunes folder can be seen, even though all the tunes are on the -i-pod and can be played. The olnly folders that show are Calendars, Contacts, Notes, Recordings and a doc entitled -  .metadata_never_index.
Where is the i-tuned folder?
I do not know if iot related to the problem, but the od computer never allow me to eject the i=pod and always tells me it "cannot be ejected because it contains files that are in use by another application"  even though no other applications are running - other than I-tunes

Thank you, but I have already used this guidance. That is what I was explaining. When I click on my device, the contents of my i-pod do not includde an i-tunes folder - only Calendars, Contacts, Notes, Recordings and a file extension .metadata_never_index. The guidance note you have directed me to does not say what to do when there is no I Tunes folder appearing, which is why I posed my question in the first place. Sorry, but no further forward

    Hi emile,
    It is not entirely clear when the transfer process from your computer to your iPod classic fails, but if the iPod is not being recognized by your computer this article may help -

    You may also want to try resetting your iPod -

  • I need to transfer Pages documents to new computer.

    How do I transfer  Pages documents to new computer?

    Be more precise: is it is new mac, and want to transfer data? is it another PC running Windows/Linux of someone else or yours?
    Note that Pages format is not recognized on other platforms, you must first export it is a rtf or doc or PDF format. If a mac-to-mac transfer, you may copy Pages files just like any other format. You may connect the two macs or mac and pc via wilreless network or via an ethernet cable or, if both macs, via firewire cable, if both have one (not always) or you may use an external drive as an intermediate support for migrating.
    If you more precise in offering details about what you need, perhaps we may be more useful. It is also important to know what size? if you have, say, 1 GB of files, a wl connections would suffice, if many GBs, perhaps a wired connection is better, it will be faster. All details are important.

  • I bought Photoshop Elements 10 and would like to transfer it to a new computer. However, I can't find my Serial Number.

    I bought Photoshop Elements 10 and have it installed in an old computer. I would like to transfer it to a new computer. However, I can't find my Serial Number.

    If you downloaded it from Adobe or registered it with Adobe, you should be able to go to your account and get the serial number.

  • I had photoshop on my hp and it stopped working, it says error 16. I already tried uninstalling and reinstalling it and nothing works. Also I just bought a Mac, is there any way i can transfer photoshop to my new computer?

    I had photoshop on my hp and it stopped working, it says error 16. I already tried uninstalling and reinstalling it and nothing works. Also I just bought a Mac, is there any way i can transfer photoshop to my new computer?

    Look at this guide:
    Configuration error 16 | CC, CS
    I don't know what version you have, but you cannot install a Windows edition on a Mac, you need the Mac edition.
    If you have Photoshop CS6, you can swap it for a Mac version, otherwise you would have to purchase a full Mac version ($700) or enroll in the $10 per month Photography program from Adobe to use Photoshop CC.

  • Trying to transfer songs to a new computer

    I was using my ipod as an external hard drive to transfer songs to my new computer. I followed all the instructions from this site to the letter, and yet when I ejected the ipod from the one computer and plugged it into the new one, it said the ipod was corrupted and would have to be restored, which as I understand it will erase everything on the ipod. Anybody have any experience with this? As a side note, when I tried to check to see if I could still download the music files from the ipod-as-hard-drive, my new computer said the hard disc had to be formatted first which again will erase everthing in the files. Do I have to format the ipod as a hard disc first and then go back and do the whole drag songs to a file thing all over again? Sorry for how long this is, but thanks if anyone can shed some light.

    Sadly it sounds as though you may have to restore it and do this process over again.

  • If I buy illustrator do I still get updates, and can I transfer it to a new computer?

    If I buy illustrator outright, do I still get updates, and can I transfer it to a new computer?

    David,
    No future updates will be issued for non CC versions. For CS6, the last one (ever) is 16.0.5.
    You can install it on 2 computers at a time, and you can deactivate and install on new computers as you wish.

    You will also have to copy the iPod backup file to the new computer and then restore your iPod from backup using that backup. The file is located here:
    iTunes places the backup files in the following places:
    Mac: ~/Library/Application Support/MobileSync/Backup/
    Windows XP: \Documents and Settings\(username)\Application Data\Apple Computer\MobileSync\Backup\
    Windows Vista and Windows 7: \Users\(username)\AppData\Roaming\Apple Computer\MobileSync\Backup\
    Note: If you do not see the AppData or Application Data folders, you may need to show hidden files (Windows XP,  Windows Vista and Windows 7), or iTunes may not be installed in the default location. Show hidden files and then search the hard drive for the Backup directory
    You can also  make a backup on the new computer by conneting the iPod and right clicking on the iPod under Devices in iTunes and selecting BackUp. When you retore from backup sometime the app folder structure get messed up.

    Need to transfer Acrobat Pro to new computer, old computer crashed so I can't disable/uninstall.  What do I do?

    Install it on the new machine, if you have run out of Activations then you will probably need to contact Adobe and explain what happened as far as the old computer crash and burning.
