• Library backup 11.4 iTunes then restore

  So, I'm on an old Mac Snow Leopard (10.6) running iTunes 11.4.18.s.  I have a Windows 10 PC running iTunes 12.2.2.25.  I want to spend my library out of the old Mac and PC.  I tried to change my iTunes media folder to point to my NAS in the hope of pulling out from the PC.  No go.  See Win10 is an XML file, but it cannot import with an error message of "some of the songs in the 'xxx' file were imported not because they are not found.»

  I turned on the 'library sharing' and the Win10 will be able to see the library this way, but it won't let me import the library, even if I am connected to iTunes.

  To put the icing on the cake, or to throw a curveball, I now have an iPhone 6 (upg'd 4 s) hoped the old Mac would be so I could transfer files that way... no go.  Neither the Win10 sees the iPhone6 either.  So I have NO playlists on my iPhone6.

  Any help would be appreciated.

  Library share someone only allows to play media in the library on a second computer.  Home sharing lets copy you media, but that's not really transfer an entire library since as a library of the city your iTunes library is more than a collection of media without structure.

  You do not say what iTunes files you have where. Since you mention a sin I guess you can have some there.  Try to copy the iTunes from the Mac to the PC folder.  Start iTunes on the PC while holding down the SHIFT key and when prompted select iTunes Library.itl file in the folder that you relocated.

• ICloud automatically and periodically backup my documents, library iTunes and iPhoto library in the cloud?

  ICloud automatically and periodically backup my documents, library iTunes and iPhoto library in the cloud?  If so, how?  Do I need to do it manually, or is this automatic, like Mozy?

  You mention iPhoto, which means that you may have about the backup of a Mac. iCloud does not back up your Mac, you must use Time Machine (or other backup software) and an external hard drive.

• iPhone 6 s - 100% carbon copy backup/restore to iTunes - is that possible?

  Hello

  I am trying to find a way to save/restore an iPhone via iTunes installation so that the restoration of places any return on the phone with the same configuration (essentially, an exact clone of the original installation that is being backed up).

  Questions that I met with attempts to use iTunes for backup/restore:

  • Passwords and other security information do not restore.
  • Applications not getting restored
  • WIFI networks not get restored
  • attached randomly do not restore (some, not all).

  iCloud backups solve this problem (sort of).

  • It takes an internet connection takes too long and medium, and you are left without a phone can be used for a period of time, so that the restore process is complete. I'd rather do it via iTunes.
  • Passwords and other security information do not restore.

  Any help please? In the end, I'm looking for a way to backup my phone to a PC and restore it so it looks identical to how it did before the backup.

  For a long time (perhaps in the iPhone 4/5 days?) this process described above works, 100%. Apple changed something in recent years.

  Thank you

  Bob

  The backup does not contain music or apps, because they should be in the media library iTunes on your computer, and if you synchronize right after that the restoration of the backup is then reinstalled. Normally this is done automatically when you perform a restore if you not to interrupt.

  Passwords and health data are only saved if you choose encrypted backup.

  There is no way to make a backup "image" of the phone, but if you use Encrypted and let run until the end, that it will restore everything the way it was.

• Symbolic link to ~/Library/iTunes

  I spend my time between a MacBook and Mac mini, to take into account what I moved my iTunes and other data on an external drive. For iTunes, I already moved ~/Music/iTunes (using the option key to select the new location) and ~/Library/Application Support/MobileSync/Backup (using a symlink to point to the external location). Today, I noticed that iTunes downloaded a update of iOS who suffered from my iPad, probably because I've updated on the other Mac.

  Is there a downside to moving and creating a symbolic link to ~/Library/iTunes (where the iOS updates are stored)? Are there other iTunes directories that would be more beneficial to have on the external hard drive so that they would move between Macs?

  It's something that I copied a response to other questions, so I'll let you decide what is relevant.

  -Music files Apple cache: http://dougscripts.com/itunes/2015/09/new-flush-apple-music-cache-files/ - ~/Library/Caches/com.apple.iTunes/SubscriptionPlayCache/ file, which is a bit like a "iTunes Media" folder for music from Apple

• iTunes error: the library iTune .itl file is locked. On a locked disk or you do not write to this file permission

  Original title: iTunes

  I have just updated from XP to 7. I downloaded Windows Easy Transfer, but it wouldn't work if I copied all my files on my external drive myself.

  Once Windows 7 had loaded, I started to transfer them to my computer.

  I tried just down load iTunes 10.1.1 from the internet, and everything seemed to go ok.

  But iTunes is not working and I get the following message "the library iTune .itl file is locked. "On a locked disk or youdo not write permissionfor this file."

  I saw this message on iTunes support and it is said that the 'My music' folder is located in the default location in Windows XP.

  Does that mean I lost my music and what should I do to be able to access/download the iTunes player.

  I have songs on different drives so I have quite lost music. I am simply unable to play my iTunes library because I can't access the drive.

  Thank you.

  P.s. I'm not very good with computers.

  Hello
   
  
  Change the permissions on the folder / my music/itunes (and all subfolders and files) so that it is not "read-only".
  Here's how:
  a. by doing a right click on the name of the iTunes folder, and then select Properties.
  b. you will see the read-only check box. Make sure it is disabled.

• Why didn't I go and turn my Airport Time Capsule to be able to backup?

  Hello.

  Why didn't I go and turn my Airport Time Capsule to be able to backup? It has been like this from day one. At the point where I keep my iMac off for a few days, my Time Capsule airport must be enabled and the new in order to save. Any suggestions?

  Concerning

  Simon

  Hello Ladro Maltese,

  Thank you for using communities of Apple Support.

  If I understand your message when you shut down your iMac a few days and then go back on you have to turn off your Time Capsule, then on again as well. I know how it is important for you to be able to have your Time Capsule works well. The first step that I recommend is to make sure that your Time Capsule firmware is up to date.

  This article includes information about how to manually and automatically check updates the firmware for your Time Capsule:

  Keep your base station to day.

  After updating the firmware see if the problem persists.

  Best regards

• version of iTunes, and not able to backup iPhone

  I get a blocking error saying every week I have to log in with my password because I have not consulted in 48 hours, which is not true since I'm on my phone constantly throughout the day.

  The last tech support suggestion had to restore my phone from a backup. I tried to do that today and my iTunes said I needed a new synchronization version. When I try to install the latest version, I tells me that I need Windows 7. I still use Windows XP and don't have no plans (or money or desire) to upgrade to another version of Windows. Am I literally unable to never save or update my phone again?

  There is a new (ish) (and probably final) out of iTunes for Windows XP 32-bit and Windows Vista 32/64, which includes support for iOS 9, although not Apple music. The Apple software update, it will not necessarily be looking for you and may ask you to update when you are not.

• Archive a backup iOS with iTunes on a PC

  I want to check my back upwards into iTunes so that I can try the beta of iOS 10. When I go into Preferences > devices > backup device I can point to back up that I want to archive, but when I use CTRL + 'click' I do not get the submenu to archive. I know that's the way I've archived on my mac mini, but since changing to a PC using Windows 10 I can't seem to find a way to archive. Is there another way or something because I don't want the beta iOS without it.

  Hi Philogic,

  I understand that you want to archive your backup iOS, but you don't see the context menu for it. I know it's important to be able to have a copy of security of your backups, so I'm happy to provide some clarification for this.

  You're definitely on the right track with your steps so far. Since you are using Windows, however, instead of ctrl + click, you just right click of the backup. You will find the following menu is what you are used to.

  Thank you for using communities of Apple Support, cheers!

• Not all films in view of library iTunes on iPad

  I use the latest version of iTunes (12.4.2.4) on my iMac running OS X 10.11.6 and the latest iOS version (9.3.3) on my iPad 3, but not all of the movies I have in my iTunes library appear in the movies section of my iPad 3. I don't want the actual movies on my iPad, because of space constraints, just want to be able to access it from my iPad, but, since they do not appear on my iPad - even if they appear in iTunes on my iMac and my AppleTV in my list of "Bought" - How can they be accessed?

  Thank you!

  How do you read your iTunes library on your computer from your iPad 3?

• Help the library iTunes scrambled, please!

  Hello world

  A while back, when the passage of the libraries after remove and replace the external hard drive, my iTunes library stored on, I had to change the library in the on the external drive. After Okaying of the library has changed, instead of meaning no, I inadvertently called to make a copy of the entire library, leading to a copy of the folder of iTune all on the level of the root of the hard drive. Through "Show in Finder", I noticed some songs in the music library, nested in the iTunes folder where they belong, and some are in folders that are are duplicated on the hard drive. There are tunes newly uploaded in these two places and, curiously, a few old tunes in both. That's why I say tunes scrambled. I would like to somehow rectify this situation. I would just trash these records and their melodies that are copied, but then my library, my music would be dotted with missing sources and I must search for, find and relink if possible the pieces manually, which would be a daunting task. I'm hoping there's an elegant way to straighten out this mess. I know my way around the Mac well enough, but I never really had the same handle level on iTunes and now I'm paying for it. Can someone give me advice or a protocol to reorganize my library and/or resolution of this problem? Thank you very much in advance at any time and in review. Any suggestions are appreciated by all!

  I'm running iTune 12.3.3.17 on a '17 MacBook Pro 8 GB of RAM end ' 011 model with OS X 10.11.3.' My iTunes music library is stored on an external HD to 2 TB with 5 GB left to spare.

  All the best,

  David

  Buy a new 3T or the largest disk.

  Copy the files to the current library and file work in / / < Volume > / iTunes.

  Option Start iTunes to connect to the library on the new path.

  Change the media folder to / / < Volume >/iTunes/iTunes Media.

  Consolidate the library in the new media folder.

  When it is all tested and working clean the original disc and clone the iTunes folder at him as a backup with a tool such as Synkron.
