Using CCC,what to copy over from itunes

I have already copied over 200 GB of music via the drag,drop method to an EHD.  I now what to copy over just the recently added items using Carbon Copy Clone.  Do I just check the music folder?  It contains the following. DS store,localized.Amazon mp3 ,itunes, garage band. Is there another easier way anyone can recommend.  Thanks

Ok so let me understand this correctly.  You want one EHD for iTunes and another for Backup?  If this is correct that yes I would use Time Machine.  Here is what I would suggest:
1.  Create a folder in your ... lets call it iTunes EHD called iTunes
2.  Drag the iTunes Media folder you already copied to the EHD into the iTunes folder you just created
3.  From your internal HD copy (copy not move) the other contents of your iTunes folder into the iTunes folder on your EHD, stuff like the Album Artwork folder, iTunes Library file, iTunes Library.xml file etc.
4.  Quit itunes, and relaunch holding down the alt/option button.
5.  A dialog will appear asking you to choose a library.  You can either choose an existing one or create a new one, click "Choose Library"
6.  Navigate to your iTunes folder on your EHD and click OK.  iTunes will launch and load your library
Once you get your Backup EHD select it for time machine through Preferences --> Time Machine --> Select Disk
Click on option and remove the iTunes EHD from the list so Time machine will back up that volume as well.
Hope this helps

  • Why has iTunes seperated a album which I have copied over from my external hard drive into iTunes? How can you pull all the songs back together into one album again?

    Why has iTunes seperated a album into indevidual songs, which I have copied over from my external hard drive into iTunes? How can you pull all the songs back together into one album again?

    Quick answer:  Select all the tracks on the album, File > get info, and either give them all a single "album artist", or check the "compilation" flag (as in https://discussions.apple.com/message/17670085).
    If these are from multiple-CD sets you may also need to enter the appropriate information in the disc number fields.  If they are not a multiple CD set you still need to make sure the disc number fields are set correctly or all empty.

  • Deleted items from Ipod Nano to make room for new. Emptied trash. Still getting error message when I try to copy items from ITunes to Ipod. What should I do now?

    Deleted items from Ipod Nano to make room for new. Emptied trash. Still getting error message when I try to copy items from ITunes to Ipod. What should I do now?

    If you delete songs (and other items) from the main iTunes library, yes, you need to empty the Trash because iTunes puts the song files into the Trash.  When deleting items from an iPod, the items are not being deleted from the main iTunes library, so nothing should end up in the Trash.
    Hopefully, you are not deleting items from your main iTunes library, just to sync those deletions from the iPod.  If you are, there is a better way.  You can post back if you want more info...

  • Nano3rdgen Copying playlist from itunes to ipod and it says it can't copy certain songs to ipod cos of file type.These problem songs all from same album, all ACC file type and all copied fine when I copied the album itself few weeks ago-help!

    When copying playlist from itunes to nano3rd message comes saying 9 of songs can't be copied to ipod cos of file type. These 9 are all from same album, all ACC and all copied fine when I copied the album itselm some weeks ago.  Rest of playlist was ACC too.  P.S. album is a CD-R copied version-is this an issue? HELP I AM DESPAIRING!

    I never laughed in all my life. Here I was, inserting the cd Dance with Me, thinking it's not going to copy the whole thing. yeah, right.
    Sure, it prompted me, Do I want to replace the songs, so of course I said "no, don't replace the songs". and guess what it did. It copied the whole cd (at least I got my two songs).
    I went into the itunes library, and sure enough, all the songs were there twice. So what did my intelligent brain think of? I just unchecked the doubled songs and stuck my ipod into my computer and it synched up and I got what I wanted.
    Now what did I do wrong when it prompted me. I clicked on "don't replace" and it replaced them anyway.
    Am I dumb? or is itunes stupid?
    thanks, Melody

    Assuming you are not manually managing your music, verify the following:
    You are using the latest version of iTunes
    On the summary tab of your iTunes sync settings you have checked "Sync only checked songs and videos"
    In your music library you have checked all the songs you want to sync to your phone
    There are no exclamation points next to any of the songs you want to sync to your phone
    You have authorized your computer for all Apple IDs for purchased music you want to sync to your phone (in Store>Authorize this computer)
    You have checked "Sync Music" on the Music tab of your iTunes sync settings
    When everything looks correct, sync your phone.

  • Import/copy music from Itunes to imovie doesn't work

    I tried to add Music from my Itunes libary to Imovie (open Itunes/add to libary)  but when i click Itunes or Music in Imovie there is no Music shown, with garage band it's the same problem.

    Hi
    I do - always - Copy out from iTunes to an Standard Audio CD (as this is plain .aiff 16-bit 44.1kHz)
    And the files on this CD I use in my movie projects - AND have near to ZERO problems with the Audio at least.
    NO .mp3 or other strange format - all is converted one way or another to .aiff.

  • Batch Number Not copied over from Production order to Confirmation

    Dear Experts,
    In the production order, I specify the batch # for the components.  But when I do the confirmation, the batch number for the components is not getting copied over. 
    Can anyone suggest what has to be done.
    Regards
    Tom

    Dario, I have not saved my confirmation.  But when I execute CO11N and go to "Goods Movement" tab, I expect the Batch to be copied from the production order for the components.  But the batch field is Blank.
    How do we make the batch field to be copied over from the production order.
    Thanks in advance.

  • How do i copy music from iTunes to usb?

    how do i copy music from iTunes to a usb thumb drive?

    If you drill down within the iTunes folder to the "iTunes Music" or "iTunes Media" folder you'll see that iTunes has the songs organised by artists. If you want a particular album, you'll have to know who the artist is. There's also a folder named "Various Artists" for complication albums. And as for me, I don't use a USB drive to back things up, I use an external hard drive, which can hold more data. If you don't have one, I recommend getting one.

  • I have paid for itunes match and have now lost all my music of my iphone except what I paid for from itunes, 964 songs gone not at all happy.  Can anyone help

    I have paid for itunes match and have now lost all my music off my iphone except what I paid for from itunes, 964 songs gone into the cloud. Can anyone help please?

    Enabling iTunes Match does not delete music from your computer. Why do you think it is now not in the iTunes library if it was before? If all of your music was in the iTunes library then it is also now in the cloud if iTunes has completed it's scan and all the music meets the match requirements. Enable the iCloud Status column in the iTunes browser by switching to Song view and pulling down View > View Options. Select iCloud Status then close the small window. Sort on the new column. Your music should be listed as "purchased," "matched" and "uploaded." Some tracks may be "ineligible." Post back and let us know.

    dear sir i made a video to my brother in his wedding day from his photo and i use a song i buy it from itunes as a soundtruk , can i use this video in the facebook

    No. Tracks you purchase from the iTunes Store are for your personal use only and cannot be posted, either separately or as part of a video or slide show, on any public web site or otherwise distributed to others in any way. You can't even legally give that video to your brother.

  • Can't see photos copied over from old mac - any ideas?

    I copied my photo library over from my old mac (same method as I used for my iTunes library, which worked) to my new one. I just dragged out the original empty library folder and put the one from the old mac in its place. Non of the photos showed up.
    I figured I would deal with it later and have since added photos from my camera. I am now trying to see the older photos but no luck. My photo library, seen from within iPhoto, has albums for the years listed but without the pictures.
    I did the rebuild but that didn't change anything. I tried importing them but iPhoto tells my I can't import them since they are already in the library.
    Anyone know how to solve this?
    Thanks,
    David

    Do you still have a copy of your original library from the old Mac?
    If so try the following:
    1 - copy it again to the Pictures folder.
    2 - download and run BatChmod on the iPhoto Library folder with the settings shown here, putting your administartive name in the owner and group sections. You can either type in the path to the folder or just drag the folder into that field.
    3 - launch iPhoto with the Option key depressed and select that library folder to open.
    Now see if the album gets converted correctly. You can move your other iPhoto library folders to the desktop temporarily until you see if this procedure is any more successful.
    Also update to 10.4.9 with the COMBO updater and update Quicktime to the latest version, 7.1.5. Of course repair disk permissions afterward with Disk Utility.
    Do you Twango?
    TIP: For insurance against the iPhoto database corruption that many users have experienced I recommend making a backup copy of the Library6.iPhoto database file and keep it current. If problems crop up where iPhoto suddenly can't see any photos or thinks there are no photos in the library, replacing the working Library6.iPhoto file with the backup will often get the library back. By keeping it current I mean backup after each import and/or any serious editing or work on books, slideshows, calendars, cards, etc. That insures that if a problem pops up and you do need to replace the database file, you'll retain all those efforts. It doesn't take long to make the backup and it's good insurance.
    I've written an Automator workflow application (requires Tiger), iPhoto dB File Backup, that will copy the selected Library6.iPhoto file from your iPhoto Library folder to the Pictures folder, replacing any previous version of it. You can download it at Toad's Cellar. Be sure to read the Read Me pdf file.
