  • How can I move my iTunes Library to External Hard Drive?

    I googled cela but can't seem to find what I'm looking for...

    I want to leave my iTunes library in all my Windows PC for a hard drive external and I want to keep it there because it does not fit on my new Macbook Air. I'm happy to plug every time that I would use my iTunes library.

    I found the instructions step by step online, but I would like to know what happens if you never had the option "Copy files to iTunes Media folder when adding to library" checked. This way only future additions will be copied in my folder or it will copy all my previous music? I took a peek in the folder and my latest addition isn't here so I guess that it copies only future additions to the library. Is this correct?

    If so, how to get all my music in one folder so I can copy it to my hard drive? (Yes, I confess that my music seems to be scattered in my PC)

    I have no sound when playing my clips by adobe first 12 elements. How to fix this? I checked all the audio levels and there is no mute etc. I've updated to 12.1, but still no sound in clips. Not even on the old files that are used to work.

    Bfun

    What operating system is running your first items 12/12.1? Can we assume that this audio reads OK

    on the same computer when you use a computer independent of Premiere Elements drive?

    What are the properties of these clips that have worked before, but don't know regarding sound

    For now, I will assume that you are working on Windows 7, 8 or 8.1 64bits.

    Have you checked the settings change preferences/Menu/Audio ASIO hardware? You have all 3rd party audio devices integrated in your IT environment?

    Please delete the Adobe Premiere elements Prefs file and, if it does not, then all 12.0 folder in which the Adobe Premiere elements Prefs file exists. Is the path to 64-bit Windows 7, 8 or 8.1

    Local disk C

    Users

    Owner

    AppData

    Roaming

    Adobe

    First Elements

    12.0

    and in the 12.0 folder, is the file Adobe Premiere elements Prefs that you delete. If this does not work, then delete all 12.0 the folder in which the Adobe Premiere elements Prefs file exists. Make sure that you work with the Option "Show hidden files, folders and drives" of the current folder so that you can see the full quoted path.

  • How can I get my iTunes library is displayed on my new Macbook Pro?

    I have a new macbook pro. my old macbook crashed. I try to access my iTunes library to my new computer and am not succeed. I have "authorized" this computer, but it does not appear on my list "manage devices" in iTunes. Any suggestions?

    Hi KathShan,

    I understand that you have a problem with access to your music on your MacBook Pro. Let's see if we can get this sorted out.

    If you use Apple iTunes game or music, then you will need to make sure you have iCloud active library. I opened iTunes preferences and on the general tab, you should see iCloud music library and make sure that it is checked. After that, your library will appear.

    Take a look at the article below, but also a screenshot to preferences iTunes for more details.

    Music Apple Sync on your iPhone, iPad, iPod touch and your computer
    https://support.Apple.com/en-us/HT204926

    If you use any music from Apple or iTunes game, then you will only be able to download your past purchases. If you can somehow have access to your old iTunes library, you can transfer them to your new Mac. Take a look at two articles that talk about this.

  • How can I move photos & video library?

    How can I move a few photos and some video clips from one library to another library?

    I created 2 libraries and want to better organize my photos and videos by moving a selection of photos and videos of the first library in my second library.

    How can I do this? Please helppppp

    Photos has no tool to move photos between libraries.

    Do it manually by exporting pictures of the first library with "file > export > export original unmodified" and then import export photos and videos of the other library.  After you have verified that they mattered much, remove them from the original library.

    Move photos between libraries is easier with PowerPhotos.  Check it out at PowerPhotos ( software of Fat Cat-PowerPhotos)

    There is a problem, however.  You cannot move, it publishes versions between librarues, so that the changes can be reversed.  The transfer will be frozen. You can move only the edited versions or original, or both, but not as a pair of the original and the version.

  • How can I keep my iTunes library to a new installation of iTunes?

    Hello

    I got a new SSD and re-installed Windows 7 and all my software, including iTunes.

    I have my iTunes Library (iTunes Media folder) on a data reader and now I reinstalled iTunes and I want to keep the old library, so in the preferences, I put my iTunes library to the path leading to my old iTunes library, but the music still does not appear in iTunes. The only music that shows it's the music purchased from the iTunes store, but no CD-imports are shown.

    I hope someone can help me with this,

    Thanks in advance!

    Lars

    If you have the iTunes database files, launch iTunes with the SHIFT key pressed and select the library that contain. If you can't seem to them, made the iTunes Media folder inside the application window open iTunes or automatically add to iTunes folder; all the old library metadata that are lost.

  • Can I move my itunes library to icloud?

    Since I have free space, I want to keep my music to icloud. I know that Itunes game is the solution for this, but since I've already bought space in icloud I don't see the reason to pay Itunes game.

    I saw that in Itunes > Preferences > advanced, you can change the location of media from Itunes (IMF) folder. If I copy my current MFI to the Icloud folder and edit the route as described, this book?

    I guess the same question arises for users who want to store their music on Google Reader.

    Thank you!

    Hello

    ITunes game uses no storage iCloud. Read this tip user do and keep a backup of your iTunes library, and only broadcast from the cloud.
