I assume you mean the media and playlists, not the iTunes application.

  • What's the best way to move a project from one HD to another?

    I have a movie I've been working on for 2 years.  The entire project is on an external hard drive.  I recently got a new macbook pro and would like to take the project off of the external hard drive and move it to my macbook pro hard drive (my external is starting to act a little goofy and I want to rescue my project until I can get a new one). 
    There is tons of media for my project.  I've read that using media manager is an option.  I tried this but am having difficulty locating all of the media to reconnect once I do, but all the media should be in the same place, so I can't figure out why I can't find a lot of it to reconnect. 
    Anyone have any ideas or suggestions?  None of the media is offline when I open the project from my external HD.  If you know a better method than media manager, please share.  I've never had to execute this kind of proceedure before so it's new to me.  Thank you.

         The files will be eating up all your disc space and affecting performance. Setting the Scratch disc only comes into affect if you are capturing files from video sources via video cards or firewire/thunderbolt connections. The scratch disc records the video as data. The scratch disk needs to be robust enough to capture at a high data rate to capture uncompressed video in HighDef or Standard Def. This usually requires a RAID drive. If you never capture uncompressed video via a video card (AJA Kona/Blackmagic/Avid Mojo), you can set your root drive as the scratch disc. The problem there is it will hog up disc space. That is why most editors use an external drive to be the scratch disc.

    You can share songs, but if there is DRM protection on the song, it will not play on the other device unless you also transfer the rights to the other device. You are getting into the problem of music piracy.

    Thanks Mr Gnome.  Moved files across OK on a portable hard drive.  Follow-up question.  I have transferred the music and apps OK, but the playlists on my PC dont seem to have transferred.  Is there a way of copying playlists across?

    what is the best way to move my itunes music library from my old computer to my new one?

    Home Sharing is option A.

    Option B is consolidating the library to an external HD.

    Or you can use one of the other 8000 methods. I just prefer these two.

    What's the best way to move my contacts from my current iPhone5 to another iPhone?

    Use iCloud. First, on your iPhone, open Settings > iCloud, and enable Contacts, so your contacts will appear on all your devices logged in iCloud.
    Then, on the other iPhone, open Settings > iCloud, log in with your Apple ID and enable Contacts, so they will show up on this phone.

  • HT1751 What is the best way to move my iTunes library from an external PC drive to a Mac external drive?

    I just make the move to Mac computers.  My iTunes library is currently on a PC formatted external drive.  I would like to move it to an external drive that i have formatted for Mac.  What is the best way to do this?

    Is the entire library on the external drive or just the media folder? If it is the latter, and you still have access to the PC then see make a split library portable.
    If the drive is in FAT32 format you can connect a portable library directly to the Mac, holding down Option as you start iTunes. Otherwise you either need to copy it to a local drive (Mac should be able to read NTFS) or install a full service NTFS driver so that the library can be read and updated.

  • What is the best way to move Lightroom 3 from my old ssd to my new ssd?

    I recently installed a new and larger ssd on my computer.  When I attempted to clone my old ssd, it corrupted my old windows 7 on the original ssd and left me with a blue screen version on my new ssd.  So after reformatting the new ssd and completing a clean install of windows 8 I am ready to move my lightroom 3 over.  I want to do this without losing all my work on my photos and I am not enthused with cloning my old ssd as it did not work and left me with days of frustration.  Please help with the best way to accomplish this.
    Thanks,
    Dan Rafferty

    Install Lr 3 to your new SSD using the original cd.
    You can also downlad version 3.6 from here: Adobe - Lightroom : For Windows
    Then copy your catalog, previews, and images over from the old disk, and make sure everything goes to the same location as on the old disk.

  • Asking if I want to locate the original file I just clicked on. I did move my music from one computer to another and am now getting this error on about 50% of my music. HELP! Suggestions?

    ERROR when I click on newly moved music files.
    "The song ______ can not be used because the original file can not be found. Do you want to locate it?"
    Help!
    I moved my itunes files from one computer to the other and now I'm getting this error on about 50% of my songs when I click on them.

    Moving a library from machine to another can require some preparation if it is to go smoothly.
    As long as the files are organized within a media folder in a way that is vaguley consistent with iTunes, i.e. folders for artists, with subfolders for albums, then my FindTracks script might be able to relink the files.
