What would be the easiest way to do this?

Alright, I'm getting an iPod Touch for Christmas. I started preparing my iTunes Library already, but I ran into a slight problem. See, all of my music is on my old computer, which I still use, but the USB port is broke. So I am going to need to sync my iPod on my new computer.
So my question is: What would be the easiest way to transfer my whole Library to my new Computer so that I could sync?

This article in the Apple Knowledge Base outlines the main options for transferring files from one computer to another.
Decide which one is best for your circumstances and post back if you need any clarification.

  • I've been using older printers (including an imagesetter) connected to10.5.8  With a new 10.6 machine I'm looking to still use the printers. I can use the olderG5 as a sever if need be. What would be the best way to do this?   ine

    I've replaced my 10.5.8 with another machine 10.6.8 which as we know doesn't support Apple Talk which has been used to print to 2 bulletproof older printers and an imagesetter. I wan't to keep using the printers and can use the 10.5.8 as a server. What is the best way to do this?

    Hi
    You could do this a number of ways. Using the LPD Daemon might work best for your location?
    First: assign the machine you're going to use as the 10.5.8 'server' a fixed IP address.
    Second: add desired printers to that machine using the usual methods.
    Once added share them using the Print Sharing option in the Sharing Preferences Pane. On the 10.6.8 machine add the printer using the IP address of the 10.5.8 'server'.
    System Preferences > Print & Fax and click the '+' icon. Click on the IP Icon and key in the IP address you previously assigned. Leave the Queue field alone and select the relevant PPD from the Print Using field (see below). You'll have to search for these yourself.
    You don't have to 'install' the PPDs on the 10.6.8 machine as such. Simply copying them over from their location on the 10.5.8 machine (use a memory stick to do the transfer) to the same location on the 10.6.8 machine will be enough.
    There should be no need to restart.

    There are apps that you can purchase that will allow you to transfer photos from the iPad to your PC. Look at Photo Transfer App in the App store and you can search for others as well.

  • What would be the legal way to do this?

    I am currently using a 20" Core Duo iMac and have just ordered a 24" Core2 Duo that will be arriving within the week. I purchased a retail FCE 4 and have had installed on my 20." If I uninstall or delete FCE 4 from my 20" and reinstall it on my future 24", will I be breaking any legal rules?

    As Niel said, what you propose is perfectly legal and the normal thing to do when getting a new computer.
    This doesn't apply to you, but it might at a future date (or maybe to someone else reading this thread) ...... You are allowed to have FCE simultaneously installed on a laptop and a desktop provided you own both of them and only use one of them at a time.
    This rule only came in around a couple of years ago. Before that you could only have it on one computer, which meant that if you wanted to edit whilst on holiday etc. with a secondary laptop, you would have to uninstall FCE from your desktop etc. etc. to remain legal ............. I am sure that very few people went to all that trouble!
    So the current ruling is much more sensible.

    The link to your logo doesn't work.  It might be easier if you upload it to this forum in another message: click on the camera (Insert Image)  icon.
    You can also upload it to http://pixentral.com and supply us with the URL of the picture.

  • What would be the best way to install Arch, if I have Broadcom wifi?

    I can boot into an Arch USB disk, but I can't connect to the Internet, since my laptop doesn't have ethernet and the wifi card is Broadcom, which requires the `broadcom-wl` package. What would be the easiest way of proceeding with this install? On IRC, I was advised to either: (1) boot into another distro, connect to the Internet there, then chroot into the Arch USB image, and download the additional packages from there, or (2) download the `broadcom-wl` package from the AUR, and a build environment, transfer these files to the USB system, and then compile and install the module there. Both of these solutions seems rather complicated to me. With (1), I was having difficulty mounting the arch .img as a drive using Ubuntu, since Ubuntu's `mount` command needs a filetype, and didn't seem to like any of the filetypes I tried. With (2), I have a feeling this would be fairly complicated--I'm not sure which binaries I can install for my system, or how to install packages that I downloaded offline.

    I was having difficulty mounting the arch .img as a drive using Ubuntu, since Ubuntu's `mount` command needs a filetype
    Not sure what you mean?
    I too had issues with my internet, eventually I installed arch from Ubuntu. I used bootstrap image and it worked as advertized in the wiki.
    EDIT: If you using Ubuntu then don't forget to create '/run/shm' otherwise pacstrap will fail.

  • What would be the best way to trigger a series of cascading SPD workflows ?

    I have a request to have security setup on a series of folders..
    but the start of the security has to wait until the new site workflow is completed,  then once the site is available then the next workflow sets the security on the 1st folder  then once the security WF on the 1st folder is completed, then the
    2nd workflow starts,  and sets up the security for the 2nd folder, then once that workflow  is done then the 3rd folders security workflow is triggered and security is setup , then the 4th WF starts once the 3rd WF is completed, and then the security
    is set on the 4th WF, and then once it is completed then the 5th WF is started... this pattern continues until the last folder security is setup and then the WF to email me is triggered..
    basically they go like this
    1WF  > 2WF > 3WF > 4WF > 5WF > 6WF > 30Wf completed cycle of Security Setup
    What would be the best way to set this up to have the series of workflows trigger after a WF is completed

    Hi,
    According to your post, my understanding is that you want to trigger a series of cascading SharePoint workflows.
    You need to set parameter: Processed = No/false in each workflow to trigger the next one.
    It is similar to the For Each loop workflow in SharePoint 2010.
    For more information, you can refer to:
    How-To: For Each loop with SharePoint Designer 2010 Workflows to update multiple items

  • I am using Iphoto 11 ver 9.4.3 on mac using oxs 10.8.5 i want to export calendar projects to an external hard drive. what is the easiest way to do this? i have tried export and import but it didn't seem to work.

    I am using Iphoto 11 ver 9.4.3 on mac using oxs 10.8.5 i want to export calendar projects to an external hard drive. my goal is to store them in an external hard drive so it doesn't use up memory on the mac hard drive. is it possible to copy the specific projects without copying the entire library? what is the easiest way to do this? i have tried export and import but it didn't seem to work.

    What do you not understand?
    You can duplicate the iPhoto library (command - D ) and delete everything except the project and its photos from the copy and move that
    Or
    However the calendar takes very little space - it is simpy database entries - it is the photos in the calendar that take space - and for most people you would wnat to keep those photos in your library
    you can use a photo in 50 calendars and it still is only one photo in your library - as I explained calenders do not exist as such - they are simply database entries telling iPhotop how to display the calendar - they take almost no space at all

    I have around 1,000 photos on my old phone and I want to put them on my new phone without using a backup or iTunes, which would be the easiest way?

    I was looking for something on the net, and i run into this post. Am not sure if you have found a soulution or not, anyways, if not here are some programs that i love and they show you every thing in your iPhone:
    iFunBox, iBackupBot and DiskAid
    am sure they will help you find what you want and then you can just copy them to your computer.
    if you use Mac, iPhoto will import everything for you.

  • Fonts - What's the easiest way to do this?

    Hi All,
    I'm in a situation at the moment where I would like to put the JDK 1.4 fonts into a JDK 1.3 program..
    What's the easiest way to do this?

    Hi,
    perhaps you can get no answer, because it is not clearly said, what you want to do?- From which JDK 1.4 Fonts are you talking of?- What is meant by this?- The Font class or what else?- Do you want to replace one or more .class files of JDK 1.3 by one of JDK 1.4?
    In general you are not allowed to replace parts of the packages or subpackages of "java", "javax" or "sun" or add or remove classes to resp. from them - you accepted this terms when you had downloaded the JDK - sure, it is possible, but you are not allowed to do so - it is illegal.

  • I have a bunch of .pmd files that I have to have access to.. I am trying to convert to .pdf. what is the easiest way to do this with updated computers?

    I have a bunch of .pmd files that I have to have access to.. I am trying to convert to .pdf. what is the easiest way to do this with updated computers?

    Then you can’t do anything with those files. Even opening them in InDesign would yield very unpredictable results.
    You’d need to find an old machine running nothing later than Windows XP and then buy a copy of PM which is like lighting money on fire.
    That said, someone might come along willing to help out but just exactly how many is a bunch?

  • I have a 15' Macbook Pro, mid 2010 running Mavericks. I want to upgrade the hardware by increasing the RAM to 8GB and replacing the HD for a SDD one. What would be the best way to install mavericks on the new HD? I have the original OS X CD.

    I have a 15' Macbook Pro, mid 2010 running Mavericks. I want to upgrade the hardware by increasing the RAM to 8GB and replacing the HD for a SDD one. What would be the best way to install mavericks on the new HD? I have the original OS X CD.
    From what I read, I have 2 choices: 1. to install OSX and then upgrade to Mavericks, but I'm not sure if this would be possible (to upgrade directly from OSX to Mavericks); and 2. to use a software called Super Duper.
    I wouldn't like to have to use a third party software to do this, so the question is: is there a better way to install directly the Mavericks not having to use a third party software?

    Install the new drive in the computer.
    Install the old drive in an external USB or Firewire enclosure.
    Boot the computer from the Recovery HD on the external drive.
    Use Disk Utility to partition and format the new internal drive.
    Clone your external drive to the internal drive.
    How to replace or upgrade a drive in a laptop
    Step One: Repair 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, Leopard or Snow Leopard.) 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.
    If DU reports errors it cannot fix, then you will need Disk Warrior and/or Tech Tool Pro 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.
    Step Two: Remove the old drive and install the new drive.  Place the old drive in an external USB enclosure.  You can buy one at OWC who is also a good vendor for drives.
    Step Three: Boot from the Recovery HD on the external drive.  Restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the OPTION key until the boot manager appears.  Select the icon for the Recovery HD then click on the downward pointing arrow button.
    Step Four: New Hard Drive Preparation
      1. Open Disk Utility from the main menu and click on the Continue button.
      2. After DU loads select your new hard drive (this is the entry with the
          mfgr.'s ID and size) from the left side list. Note the SMART status of
          the drive in DU's status area.  If it does not say "Verified" then the drive
          is failing or has failed and will need replacing.  Otherwise, click on the
          Partition tab in the DU main window.
      3. Under the Volume Scheme heading set the number of partitions from
          the drop down menu to one. Set the format type to Mac OS Extended
          (Journaled.) Click on the Options button, set the partition scheme to
          GUID  then click on the OK button. Click on the Partition button and
          wait until the process has completed.
      4. Select the volume you just created (this is the sub-entry under the
          drive entry) from the left side list. Click on the Erase tab in the DU main
          window.
      5. Set the format type to Mac OS Extended (Journaled.) Click on the
          Options button, check the button for Zero Data and click on OK to
          return to the Erase window.
      6. Click on the Erase button. The format process can take up to several
          hours depending upon the drive size.
    Step Five: Clone the old drive to the new drive
      1. Using Disk Utility still opened.
      2. Select the destination volume from the left side list.
      3. Click on the Restore tab in the DU main window.
      4. Check the box labeled Erase destination.
      5. Select the destination volume from the left side list and drag it to the
          Destination entry field.
      6. Select the 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.
    Destination means the new internal drive. Source means the old external drive.
    Step Six: Open the Startup Disk preferences and select the new internal volume.  Click on the Restart button.  You should boot from the new drive.  Eject the external drive and disconnect it from the computer.

  • Does Adobe Reader for iOS have the ability to open inbedded links to additional PDF docs?  If not, then what would be the best way to use these already created PDF's?

    Does Adobe Reader for iOS have the ability to open inbedded links created with Acrobat Standard to additional PDF docs?  If not, then what would be the best way to use these already created PDF's on an I Pad?

    driddy61,
    As of June 2014, none of the Adobe Reader mobile products support the hyperlink action for opening a separate PDF document.
    Adobe Reader for iOS
    Adobe Reader for Android
    Adobe Reader Touch for Windows 8
    In addition, the Reader mobile products do not open multiple windows/documents simultaneously, which would make the navigation between PDF documents nearly impossible. (Once a hyperlink takes you to a different PDF document, you have no way to go back to the original PDF document.)
    The only Adobe Reader product that fulfills your department's requirements is Adobe Reader XI (mostly for Windows/Mac desktop/laptop computers).  Acrobat Pro and Standard are paid products.
    Because you are in search of a less expensive device for your department, you could get a Windows tablet instead of a Windows desktop/laptop computer. Microsoft Surface Pro (that you've mentioned in your previous reply) is just one example.  You can also find other less expensive Windows tablets.
    Tablets
    However, please keep in mind that there are two different types of Windows tablets running two different operating systems.
    (a) A Windows tablet with an Intel-based processor running Windows 8.1 Pro
    Example: Surface Pro 3
    You can install and run traditional desktop apps (e.g. Adobe Reader XI) and new Windows Store apps ("Modern" or "Metro-style" apps).
    (b) A Windows tablet with an ARM-based processor running Windows RT 8.1
    Example: Surface 2
    You can only install and run Windows Store apps (e.g. Adobe Reader Touch) but not traditional desktop apps like Adobe Reader XI.
    In general, type (b) tablets are more affordable than type (a) tablets.  However, if you want to run Adobe Reader XI, you do need to check the technical specification of each tablet and make sure the following conditions are met.
    Processor: Intel
    Operating system:  Windows 8/8.1 or Windows 8/8.1 Pro, not RT
    Hope this helps you choose the right device for your department.  Please let us know if you have any questions about system requirements or supported features in the Adobe Reader products.

    I have an Iphone 4 and want to copy my photos to my windows PC, what is the easiest way to do this?

    Your PC should recognise the iPhone as a camera and you can simply treat it as one.
    Programs like Photoshop can import photos from it or you can use Camera and Scanner Wizard to import instead.
    You can also double-click the iPhone in My Cmputer and drag and drop
