ITunes :: Switch Library Onto Mac Book Pro From Mac Desktop Without Having To Delete All Of Data On Phone?
Apr 23, 2012
I would like to change the computers that my iphone is connected with, but itunes wpn't let me do that without loosing all the data thats on my phone and replacing it with data from the itunes acount, even though there is only 5 songs on it?
I have all these albums and songs on my phone and I don't know where they came from. I haven't downloaded them, they aren't in my library and I haven't synced with another computer. I have done a sync over and over anot nothing. I have even done a synch and took all the music off. I think it is 'other' stuff but don't know how to get it off of there.
I just bought a new MacBook Pro. I plugged in my iPhone and there are updates I need to make. In order to do this I need to save my stuff in Itunes library.How do I do this?
The music library on my desktop itunes program has all my songs. But I just want some of those songs -- which are contained in a itunes playlist I created -- to be loaded onto my iphone. How can I load only a particular set of songs, or a playlist of songs, onto my phone and not my entire music library?
How to get IMovie to recognize that I changed the dates of movie clips that I had to import into IPhoto. Subsequently I deleted an event in IPhoto and the darn thing still appeared in IMovie so that option of just deleting and starting all over again seems not to work. (I did not go into trash and really delete it so IMovie might just follow the clips to Trash!) I happened to find that in the Iphoto Library is a file called IMovie Data (In Thumbnails file folder). If I delete that file, will it cause IMovie to regenerate the thumbnails and put all of my photos and clips in the data order I now have corrected in IPhoto?
Info:iMac, Mac OS X (10.6.8), IPhoto and IMove are 9
I have a Mac Pro which has my Itunes Library Stored on. I would like to be able to access this Library via my Mac Book Pro and to be able to add media to the library via both Mac's. Both mac's are connect to my AirPort Extreme and have set up file and screen sharing on both, which works perfect
I'm trying to switch photos from my phone onto my computer easily and my mac does not recognixe my iPhone.emailing myself all the photos - which is time consuming.
After updating Mavericks last week on my mid-2010 macbook pro unibody, the computer slowed to a crawl. So I took it to Apple, they cleared and reset the hard drive and reinstalled Mavericks, and then I migrated specific items manually (like, a handful of photos from iPhoto, etc). THEN, according to Apple instructions (at: iTunes: How to move your music to a new computer), I moved my iTunes folder from a clean backup to my fresh install.Â
Everything imported into iTunes perfectly - my playlists, genres, settings, etc. all show up perfectly - BUT when I look at storage in "About This Mac," I show 1.15GB of music and 78.79GB of "other." I have plenty of space on the hard drive (156.5GB still free), so space consumption isn't my problem. I'm just wondering why the heck music - all 55GB imported and showing up/playing correctly in iTunes - appears as "other" in storage???Â
I ran OmniDiskSweeper, and everything shows up in there correctly - music as 55GB. It's just in storage.Â
I've also run the disk utility to verify and repair permissions, and verify disk. Everything is clear and green.Â
Info: MacBook Pro, OS X Mavericks (10.9.4), 2.4 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo, 8 GB
My iTunes was freezing at the beginning after I have tried to load some mp3 files.I got an advice to click "option" with the iTunes icon and I could build a new library.Now, How can I delete the old corrupted one which is almost 100Gb??
I have done too much to itunes. I have both wav files from recorded records and burned cds. To make my life easy and to fit all this music on my ipod. I want to start over on MBP and convert Wav files to mp3.
How do you creat a new itunes library and convert the wav to mp3?
Bought an Air to replace a MacBook Pro. Want to clear out stuff before I sell it. If I delete files from the iTunes library, am I deleting them from the hard drive or the cloud? In other words, how do I clear the material from this machine without losing what I purchased?
I would like to delete my iTunes library on my iPhone. It has songs from my daughter's purchases that I cannot for the life of my get off the library, cloud, wherever. I have deleted them in my iMac iTunes library. So after I delete them from my iPhone I will do a sync.Â
my Mac recently crashed and I had to do a data recovery. I recoverd my itunes music library files (.xml). I'm trying to put those files onto itunes again but the import playlist method isn't working. it works for one but not multiple. I receive an error message (-50) after the first one.
The other day the electricity to the house was turned off with Itunes running on my computer. Im running a G5 Mac OSX version 10.4.11 if that helps. When i turned the computer back on it read itunes library corrupt and the only option it gave was to press 'OK'.
Out of 8000 or so songs, 3000 remain in the library. There are some songs on the hard drive under 'Music' which is some of the missing songs but not sure if its all of them
My question is, is there any way possible way to restore my itunes library back to its state prior to the power out? restoring all playlists and everything!
How do I delete, once and for all, tv shows that I keep trying to delete from my iTunes library? They never finished downloading and I keep deleting them but, they keep coming back when I click "download all" or when I enter a password? I don't want to allow them all to download then delete as there are about 30 of them?
So here's my conundrum: I use the play/skip count as variables in several smart playlists, and I've been closely monitoring it for around 4 years. I just got the new Beatles remixed albums, and I want to insert them into my iTunes but keep the meta data of the old versions of the song
I had to restore my library a while ago...no problem, dragged it onto the desktop, iTunes rebuilt it from the .xml file and everything was fine...only problem is now I'm trying to tidy up my desktop and those two pesky library files won't stay deleted from the desktop no matter how man times I trash them...Now, I understand the library file needs to update itself and all, but why can't it keep it's business confined to the iTunes folder?
I just moved my iTunes library from my laptop to my desktop. When I started itunes I noticed my applications had the name of the application but was missing the icon, i.e. showed an application icon and labeled below it was Pandora but was missing the Pandora icon. My music and movies were just fine. I right clicked on the file and selected get info. it returned "could not find original". I tried to sync and it deleted the applications from my iTouch. I see the application's icon when I bring up iTunes on my laptop.
i want to delete songs from my itunes library but want to be able to put them back on if i ever want them again. i have an external hard drive and i have like synced them or whatever is that enough?
If I'm playing some music from a playlist, and I decide I want to delete it from my entire collection, I can't don't it easily. Deleting it right from the playlist doesn't remove it from my library. I have to go hunt it down in the main "Music" folder which is a pain in the ass, especially with multiple tracks. Is there some way, when looking at a track in a playlist, that I can delete it from my entire library and put it in the Trash?
