Windows iPod Photo Transfer to new iMac G5 Query

Hi,
I have a 40 GB iPod Photo that is fortmated for use with a PC using Windows Pro.
I have over 28 GB data or tracks on it, and i now wish to use it with my new iMac G5 that I have just purchased.
The thing is I dont know how to go about doing this, because I am concerned that if I copnnect it to my iMac G5, iTunes will remove all of the music that is already on my iPod, and I cannot have that happen, as It would take me forever to copy them to CDrom and then timport them into the iMac, I gues it would probably take me all of the Christmas and new year that way, and I have no idea if that would work poperly anyway.
Can anyone advise me how I can achieve my move over to the Apple computer please, without loosing my music. Once this is done I will not be wanting to connect it to my PC again. My iPod Photo is also set to 'Disc Mode' in iTunes so that I can see it as a drive in Windows if this is of any help.
Hope someone here can help or advise me.
Thanks In Advance

Nick,
As far as the Maxtor drive is concerned, I have kept it formatted as a NTFS Windows drive because OS X can read it without any problems at all, and apparently, according to Maxtor's web-site, if I format it as a Mac drive then it will not be recognised by the Windows system, and that I would have to partition it above 32MB!
So, I have purchased a Belkin Wireless Cable Router (it works with ADSL as well) for about 40 UK pounds. This I have connected to my Win XP machine with an Ethernet cable, and I now access both my 10MB Broadband cable connection and my Win XP machine on the iMac via the Airport Extreme wireless connection.
It was extremely (forgive the pun) easy to set-up, and took about 40 minutes from start to finish and that's only because the Windows machine crashed once, but after that it was just fine.
If you can, I would consider going for the Ethernet/Router way because it gives you access to both machines and Internet connections as well as printer and scanner sharing.
So if you wan't to know anything else, just let me know and I will do my best to explain.
Hope you had a good Christmas and Happy New year!

IPod Photo Transfer Error

I have the iPod Photo and the newest version of iTunes and iLife 05'.
I have more Photos in iPhoto than i have music in iTunes so transfering Photos to my iPod Photo is nothing new.
But for some reason I imported a new batch of photos in to iPhoto as usual and had no problems, plugged in my iPod and let iTunes start syncing as usual and once it got to the photo part it gave me an error message:
"Some of your photos, including the photo "PICT0047.JPG", were not copied to the iPod "Jamie Claughton's iPod" because they cannot be displayed on your iPod."
I was hoping some one would be able to tell me why this is happening as these photos are from the same camera as normal and I don't feel I have done anything different to what I would normally do.
Has any one ever had this message before and do you know what causes it?
Thank you for your time.
Jamie Claughton

I recently got the same errors happening on my setup. What's strange is the photo is the exact same format as others that did transfer from the same roll. I did happen to find that I had an older photo whose filename was the same, so that might be affecting it, but one would think same filename, different import shouldn't matter.

How to transfer pictures from ipod classic to my new imac

Hello , I am a bit of a MAC novice so be gentle! (newest imac with most up to date itunes and mountain lion)
I have an Ipod classic with almost 600 pictures on that I wish to transfer to my new IMAC yet I cannot find an easy way to do this short of buying some extra software. I would appreciate any solutions.

I think iPhoto should see them, and the Image Capture utility that came with your Mac will also see pictures on cameras and iPods/iPhones/iPads. Once the pictures are listed in Image Capture, you can drag them to any folder on your computer.

Old iPod mini with a new iMac using a different iTunes library

I just bought a new iMac (never before owned one). I have an iPod mini with a bunch of music on it that I downloaded from a library on an IBM, which I no longer have. How can I transfer all of the music that is currently on my iPod mini to the library in iTunes of my brand new iMac? I can't seem to find any options that allow me to do this. It looks like I can only erase my iPod memory and replace with the Library on my iMac, which is currently empty. Please tell me that I don't have to re-create a new libray on my iMac.
Thanks for your help.

Thanks for the information. I just got done with the iPod. I was able to use Senuti to dowload all of the contents of my iPod into iTunes and then update my iPod mini's software and reload all of the songs back onto the iPod. It was freakin' awesome!!
You really saved me a huge headache and a boatload of time!!
Thanks again!!!

How do you copy photos to a new iMac?

I am migrating from a PC to a new iMac Intel, and I need to know how to move the 100's of photos from the Windows machine to the iMac. I have an external USB HD and I have copied all photos to this. When I plug the USB HD into the iMac, the drive will probably open in the top right corner (the way a mini USB flash drive did.
My question is this: where should I "drag" the picture folder? If I drop it into the "Photos" folder, will my wife (who is an Administrator user) also be able to use the photos in iPhoto? I have the photos separated into some subfolders (such as trips, events, etc.) - is it OK to keep this format, or should all of the pictures be in the same folder? And where is the "Shared" Folder that I have read about.
Generally, my wife and I would like to have iPhoto exactly the same. In other words, we don't want to have individualized photos - if she edits a folder, I would like to have the same edited photo showing when I log into my user account. However, we do need different user accounts because we have separate e-mails and don't want to wade through each other's email. The same would be true for iMovie.
Because we do have individual documents (Word, Excel, Adobe Reader), I will drag these into our individualized "Document" folders, I assume.
Sorry for the dumb questions, but I would prefer to not have to undo the actions that I do now. Thanks.

Put the photos individually into a folder. Copy the folder to an external drive. Connect the drive to the Mac and drag the folder from the drive to the /Home/Pictures/ folder on the Mac (Home is /Users/youraccountname/ folder.) You can then import the photos into iPhoto.

IPod photo transfer problem

I am having trouble getting my photos from my iPod to a computer. When I connect the iPod to its home computer, the box to use the iPod as a disk drive and the box to include full size photos are both checked. When I open the iPod drive icon in 'My Computer' there is a folder named Photos, but the only things inside are a file named 'Photo Database' and a folder named 'Thumbs.' Inside the Thumbs folder there are various fairly large '.ithmb' files, but there is no sign of any standard photo formats. Any thoughts on what might be going on or how to get my photos would be much appreciated. Thanks.

There are various programs out there for recovering photos from an iPod, have a look at the ones below. If you search the internet you can find more:
iPodPhotoCopy Windows only
CopyPodPhoto Windows only
Tansee iPod Transfer Photo Windows only
iPod Photo Liberator Mac & Windows
iPodCopy Mac and Windows Versions
If you are only seeing a folder for Thumbs then it sounds like the the "Include Full Resolution photos" box was unchecked when the photos were added. iTunes has only added "optimised", small TV quality versions of the photos to the iPod for you to view.

ATI driver installation issue with Windows Vista on Boot Camp (new iMac)

I've just purchased a new 20" iMac with Core 2 Duo 2.4GHz.
Then I installed Windows Vista Ultimate on a Boot Camp partition.
Vista installation was eventless and worked nicely.
Now the problem has begun...
I downloaded the latest ATI graphic card driver (Catalyst 7.7 for Vista 32) from the ATI website. The Catalyst software did not recognize the graphic card and installed nothing. I still have generic Microsoft standard VGA video adapter, which keeps me from playing any recent 3D games...
Someone please help me on this so that I can start playing Oblivion...

Hi and welcome to Discussions,
I still have to find a verification for this, but:
Aplle has up to now always used the Mobility versions of the ATI and NVIDIA graphics chips in the iMacs and MacBooks, MacBooks Pro.
I assume that the in the new imacs, they are also using the Mobility version of the Radeon 2400/2600.
The ATI drivers you can download from the ATI/AMD website are only suitable for the Desktop Radeons, NOT for the Mobility Radeons.
ATI/AMD does not provide drivers for the Mobility Radeons, but are refering to the Manufacturer of the Computer for Drivers, which is Apple.
Sorry to say, but it seems you have to wait for a new BootCamp version which you include Driver support of the new iMacs.
Sorry

To install Windows 8 OS on a new iMac using Boot Camp, what size "partition" should I allocate for Windows on a system with 3TB Fusion drive?

I am trying to install Windows on a new iMac w/3TB Fusion drive. The system crashed on my first attempt but appears to have partitioned the drive correctly before crashing??? So, what size partition does Windows 8 need to operate effectively? Is "more" better??? or just over-kill? And, has anyone installed Winodow 8 on an iMac...and how did it work? Would apps like "Parallel Desktop" or "VM Ware Fusion" be a good idea and troubleless?
I will try again but not too confident that it may get worse before it gets better.
Regards....?
P.S. I configured this iMac with the i7 processor 3.5GHz with Turbo Boost to 3,9GHz. When I select "About this Mac" it diplays my i7 processor as a 3.4GHz instead. Do you think they ran out of the i7 3.5GHz and shoved a i5 3.4Ghz in the iMac to meet deliver schedule??? I there a way to check the real-time speed of my processor??.

It depends on your uses. See > https://discussions.apple.com/docs/DOC-3321 Windows 8 works properly in Boot Camp, always that your iMac is compatible > http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5634?viewlocale=en_US&locale=en_US You can only use the 64-bit Windows 8 edition.
Respecting to your processor, you may want to contact with Apple, as they may have sent you the iMac with a wrong processor

Transfer onto New iMac

I purchased FinalCut Pro using my Apple ID for an Imac in the studio and now want to transfer the Application onto my new iMac. Can you advise how to do this please

Yes it is that simple, copy your events and projects to the new machine. I would recommend that you get a fast Fire Wire drive to keep your events and projects. It will be much faster than keep it on the system drive. After the FCPX is in place you should check for "additional content" from the men ( Final Cut Pro). You can put a copy of FCP on all your computers without paying.

Empty window in mail.app on new iMac

I have a new iMac, which came with Lion. I am now using system version 10.7.3.
Everything (as far as I can tell) transferred correctly from my previous computer, by way of Time Machine.
Except that Mail does not work at all. I spent a lot of time with Apple tech support, to no avail.
Here are the symptoms:
Mail does not show ANY messages or mailboxes -- just a grey, completely empty window -- not even empty folders -- not one folder, not one smart folder, not one message -- everything in the View menu is greyed out
I can get all the windows to show up except the main one
if I select "New Viewer Window" in the file menu, Mail crashes and I have to force quit
if I select "Message Viewer" in the Window menu, I get the empty grey window.
The first tech support person said everything would work when it was finish indexing. Of course that was not true.
The second had me delete and reinstall the accounts. Then the program spent a lot of time apparently syncing the IMAP accounts, but still nothing in the window.
The third person disappeared as soon as I told her what the problem was.
And now I just tried to get help from a fourth person, but no one is available... so here I am.
Any ideas?

I dreaded having to spend any more hours with clueless tech support people. So I spent what ended up being maybe 30 minutes searching this site for ideas. I tried many things which didn't work, but the answer turned out to be to go to Library/Mail, and move the V2 folder out of there. Then I launched Mail, and got an actual window!
Then I clicked on the zigzag icon next to "Inbox", and that triggered the download of all the messages from MobileMe. Then I turned on "Mail Rules, Signatures, and Smart Mailboxes" from System Preferences/MobileMe/Sync, and clicked Sync Now. That got me back my smart mailboxes.
Whew! Problem solved.

Photos merged to new iMac and updated now disappeared

Just bought a new iMac and used firewire to merge previous iPhoto library from old iMac to new iMac. New iMac asked that these photos be "updated" or "upgraded" or whatever which went well. I even went through and the did the Faces option (took 1-2 hours).
Now it is a new day and when I open iPhoto, the photos are gone and are nowhere to be found. Upon opening the iPhoto, it did ask what library I wanted to use but only gave one option. When selecting the only option, now the photos are not in iPhoto.
I know I went through and the iMac processed them to be used in the new iPhoto so they have to be somewhere in the finished form but I cannot "see" them.
There must be an easy solution to return them so I don't have to go through the lengthy process again.
Help!
OS 10.7.2

You need to tell us exactly what you did and what happened -- It is really very hard to help with "or whatever"
the proper way to mov eto a new Mac is Connect the two Macs together (network, firewire target mode, etc) and drag the iPhoto library intact as a single entity from the old Mac to the pictures folder of the new Mac - launch iPhoto on the new mac and it will open the library and convert it as needed and you will be ready move forward.
Probably your best bet (but maybe not, or whatever) is to quit iPhoto and drag the iPhoto library to the desktop and follow the above instructions

Logic Pro 8 transfer to new iMac

I just bought a new iMac 5K and want to transfer my Logic Pro 8.
When I start up Logic it asks me for the serial number. I have looked thru the original package and can't find a serial number.
I copied down the serial number of LP8 on my old MacPro but it doesn't seem to work.
How do I go about it? Where do I go or who do I contact?

This is tough but true…...
I wouldn't bother tracking down your serial as Logic 8 does not work on Yosemite 10.10.x.
The 'oldest' version of Logic that will work on your new machine is 9.1.8 but even with the newest version of Logic X a lot of people are having a lot of issues on 10.10.x.
Either way, 8 will not work. Sorry to be the barer of bad news.
