• iTunes library to external hard drive works on pc and mac

  Hello world

  I have 1 pc and mac 2. I also use the music library to icloud. However, it depends on the internet connection.

  so, I was wondering if I can put the "itunes library" file on each laptop, the "itunes media" while on the external hard drive?

  My idea is to use an external hard drive whenever I want to use the laptop. so I don't need to broadcast through library icloud music. Moreover, I need an external hard drive and itunes library to work on pc and mac.

  Cheers!

• 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)

• IPod Classic (and iTunes library) from Windows to Mac

  Hey ppl, can someone help me with this one?
  My iPod Classic was initially connected to a PC, because I didn't have a Mac at the time. But I an and for a long time, and now I'm about to get a second.
  I was put in place with the PC mostly because my iTunes library has nearly 500 stored cd and I use my iMac only for work, I didn't want to fill his 500 GB drive with iTunes library. But now that I'm about to take my work to a new Mac, I thought that it was time to move my iTunes library to Mac, and I did it with the help of an external hard drive.

  Now, everything is ok with iTunes on Mac all the CDs and the works of art and library moved nicely.

  But when I connected the iPod it syncs ok, but does not receive a new cd that I just uploaded on the Mac.

  I have noticed that an already existing CD which I modified the work on the Mac, sync ok for the iPod, but not the new CD. The CD is an original, not a copy.
  I think it has to do with the iPod having been registered to another computer. I allow them the Mac, but still the CD is not transferred to the iPod.
  I want to get rid of my PC, but I need the iPod to work with the Mac.
  Can someone tell me what I'm missing, or doing wrong?
  Thank you

  I had checked the discussions over and over again before posting the question and do not find an answer, and now after posting the question, I found what solved my problem - iPod sync fine with the Mac. (to goodbye PC)

  "Kenichi Watanabe 26 February 2016 06:04 Re: Ipod connects to itunes, but does not synchronize "
  in reply to Umphreys21

  OK, that's fine.  So, just what is currently on the iPod is already in your new library iTunes, correct?

  When you start with a new iTunes library and add your existing content, the iPod sees it as a new iTunes library, not the old one that was previously used to synchronize the iPod.  The partners from iPod to your new iTunes library and the Tower WE Auto Sync, follow these steps...

  Select the iPod in iTunes (click on its button on the device on the horizontal bar) to display the parameters of the iPod in the iTunes window.  The side left (in the sidebar), under settings, click music.  Settings of music from the iPod screen is shown at right.

  NOTE: All iPod songs that are not in your iTunes library will be lost.

  Check the box to Sync music.  This turns ON Auto Sync (and associate the iPod to your new iTunes library).  If your library complete iTunes music can fit on iPod, choose the option to synchronize the entire music library.  Click apply.

  On a separate note, since you started with a new iTunes library, you have added all your content to your backup, but you probably do not have the additional data (such as playlists, ratings, play head, date added, etc.).  Depending on how you have saved your iTunes data, it may be possible to restore your full (not only your media) iTunes library.  You need to be good with the help of your new iTunes library, but if you want more information, thanks for posting back. »

  So thanks Kenichi Watanabe

• Windows 7 backup and restore not recognizing external hard drives

  My laptop recognizes the drives external hard and other storage devices and I can read and manually copy files, etc for them. But the backup and restore told me that nothing is connected when I try to run it. Also, when I connect the external hard drive to a USB port, the menu that is displayed does not include the option of backup of the device just connect. Is there a setting I need to change in the backup and restore program? Or is there another solution that everyone is aware of it please?

  Hi Sally,

  Thanks for posting your query in Microsoft Community.

  I understand that the backup and restore does not recognize the external hard drive, but Windows doesn't. I'll be happy to help you with your query. Let me ask you;

  1. Is - this happy with all external hard drives or individual?
  2. What kind of backup are trying to create, auto or manual?
  3. You did it recently no specific changes in the computer?

  There may be several reasons why backup & restore does not recognize the external hard drive. Let's check out the steps below.

  Step 1: Connect the device to a USB (Universal Serial Bus) and a different test.

  Step 2: You can check if the services responsible for the backup of restoration & work or not.

  Volume Shadow Copy and backup of Windows service.

  To check the services, you can follow the procedure.

  (a) click Start.

  (b) in the Search tab, type Services.msc , and then press Efriendship.

  (c) now in the services window, locate Windows Backup service and Volume Shadow Copy services. Check if they are started.

  Note: Check the services separately, and then close the Services window.

  Step 3: Run the next Fixit and check if the disc is recognized.

  Click here to launch the Fixit.

  Step 4: You can try to temporarily disable the security software of the computer and check with the question. Later, re-enable the security software.

  See: , disable the anti-virus software

  Important: Antivirus software can help protect your computer against viruses and other security threats. In most cases, you should not disable your antivirus software. If you need to disable temporarily to install other software, you must reactivate as soon as you are finished. If you are connected to the Internet or a network, while your antivirus software is disabled, your computer is vulnerable to attack.

  Hope this information is useful. Please feel free to answer in the case where you are facing in the future other problems with Windows.

  You don't say how you have moved your front support. A lot of people do it the wrong way.

  Looks like you need to consolidate and organize all your content in the media on the external hard drive folder.  It's the location displayed in iTunes > Preferences > advanced.  iTunes will copy files to this place and after you check that everything went very well you can remove the originals from other places.

• How can I move all messages and folders in 'Local folder' in the folder of my main account? The local stuff is to import from Outlook

  I imported my mail from Outlook, and they went into a local folders. I want that they in the main folder for the my account section. How can I move them there?
  For the moment, I create each folder and then copy the contents of one folder to another - crazy, and I have dozens of files

  DOH!

  After spending most of last night slowly moving the files from the Local level to the account that it's a little late for me to go back the other way, but what you suggested looks like it could work.
  Still seems simpler to 'right click' a folder and "move it" and all subfolders to have it move properly as well. Of course your test produces a different result for me. I wasn't able to drag all the folders with the sub folders and the contents of these subfolders go with it, only the contents of the main folder is gone.
  Still, as I said, I have now done most probably time call it a day on this topic and I hope that all similar problems see your answer above - cheers.

  It sounds as if your user profile is damaged.

  To confirm, perform the following steps:

  1. Create a file of any type and save it in "My Documents" of the account, which seems to have lost everything.
  2. Search for the document.
  3. When it is found, right click and choose Properties.
  4. Click the general tab and view the information next to the 'location '.  It will be C:\Documents and utilisateur\Mes Documents Settings\nom
  5. Make a note of the user name
  6. Now search for a document that you know existed.  Get location and to compare the value of username to this file that you just created.

  Did you find the old file?  Was the location your former username user name and the user name for the new file a variant of that?

  Also, please answer the next 2 questions, in the event where the article below does not help:

  1. You use a profile (user name) that you created or that you use the built-in account named "Administrator"?
  2. Also, what version of Windows XP you are using, including service pack?

  There are several Microsoft KB articles that should help you.  First, see this one:

• How can I move content movie House of iPad2 to my iTunes library on my PC?

  How can I move content movie House of iPad2 to my iTunes library on my PC?  I can find advice on how to move content from the ITunes library on various devices, but not on how to move the content in iTunes.

  I recently had a clean install of windows 10 on my PC and lost all previous programs.  I reinstalled iTunes software but cannot find a way to update the iTunes library by transferring movies in iTunes of the Ipad2.

  A few days ago, I synced my iPod with the new iTunes software and lost all my music (who did not care a lot), but I don't want to lose my home movies. There must be a way to make such a transfer.

• ITunes library don't sync all the library on my iPod Classic 5th

  Hi all. My iTunes library is not synchronized all the library on my iPod Classic 5th. The library contains 8136 songs, iPod displays only 8120 songs after synchronization.

  I hope you can help me.

  Thank you.

  Some items in your library iTunes music are not in fact the songs.  For example, some albums that buy you on the iTunes Store come with a "booklet".   This isn't a song, so it does not sync to the iPod.  In addition, your library iTunes music can have music videos.  Depending on your synchronization settings (and your iPod model), music videos may not sync.  So, if you use the number of 'elements' displayed at the bottom of the iTunes window to compare, is not necessarily equal to the number of songs on the iPod.

  Songs must be stored locally on your disk to synchronize with your iPod.  It is possible for songs purchased from the iTunes Store will appear in your library iTunes music from Apple servers ("iCloud"), even if you do not subscribe to Match iTunes or Apple's music.  To check, show your iTunes music library using the view of songs , the show as a list of simple songs with columns.  Bring up the column to iCloud download , if currently hidden.  This column is narrow with a cloud symbol as his Cape.  (Right-click on the header row in the list of songs to show/hide columns.)  Songs that are not stored locally have a symbol of the cloud with the down arrow in the column download iCloud .  These songs are visible of the iCloudand does not sync to the iPod (except if downloaded).

  If you subscribe to Apple music, download music from Apple (in your iTunes library) are written (not possessed) songs.  Downloads of music Apple cannot be used with iPod (except iPod touch).

  Also, look on the recapitulation of the iPod settings screen in iTunes to see if the sync only checked songs [and videos] option is checked.  If this is the case, the songs that are disabled in your music library iTunes do not sync.

• How to put iTunes library on the new iPhone 5 s computer

  I saw others asking similar questions, but the answers involve to make a backup of your old computer.  I can't do it.  My old computer has gone, I have no access to him, I can in no way make any kind of relief. I have a new computer now, and after much delayed due to all simply not wanting to fight with him, I decided to finally put on iTunes and sync my iPhone 5.  Now, I've been bitten by this before.  Several years ago is the same thing with another computer and when I tried to sync my iPhone 4, deleted everything on iTunes the phone and I could access is no longer dozens of songs I had bought on the phone.  They have not appear at all in my iTunes library, Apple told me they have not can recover songs even though I bought and paid for them, and I ended up losing hundreds of dollars.  I won't do that again.

  I wonder if there is anything that I can synchronize my current iTunes library on my 5 iPhone to iTunes library, I'm about to download to my new computer.  Any other response I saw said I should do a backup on my old computer, but I can't do it.  Is it possible to just transfer my phone library directly into my computer iTunes library?  All the music I have purchased legally through the iTunes store on my phone and comes in my library on my phone.  My new computer has Windows 10, fully updated and everything else on the computer functions normally.

  Thanks in advance for any help you guys can offer!

  Your i-device was not designed for unique storage of your media. It is not that a transfer backup device and media has been planned with you keep a master copy of your media on a computer that is in itself independently supported against loss.  To use a device with a different configuration, you pass the old library from a computer or a backup directly in the new configuration, not the device to the library. Synchronization of media isn't a way, computer to the device, update the contents of the device to the content on the computer, update or restore the content on a computer. The exception is iTunes Store purchases that can be transferred to a computer.

  Redownload or transfer your iTunes Store purchases an iPhone, iPad or iPod to computer - https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT201267 - 'this feature only works for content purchased from the iTunes Store. From iOS9 is more apps that now need to be re-downloaded directly from the store.

  To transfer other items from an i-device to a computer, you will need to use third-party commercial software.  See this document in turingtest2: recover your iTunes library from your iPod or device iOS - https://discussions.apple.com/docs/DOC-3991 even this method can fully recover what you originally had in the library. For example, in order to save space during synchronization if you had converted music files at a lower rate, or photos at a lower resolution, it is these lower quality files that will pick you up.

  If you subscribe to the Apple music, titles that are not part of the content that you have purchased or downloaded may not be transferred and must be downloaded directly from iCloud.

• Dell backup and recovery file storage location

  I am trying to locate where a backup of files of initial data with the help of Dell Backup and Recovery on my new Windows 7 laptop (Jan 2015), stored backup files.  I failed to provide parameters to use an external hard drive for backup.  I want to clean up backup files it does I can start using an external hard drive as storage location.  I looked everywhere, both on my laptop and Google search to find the location.  Any help would be greatly appreciated!

  I know that it is a bit a necro but since it is unanswered.

  You can determine where the Dell Backup and Recovery Software stored your files by default when opening the software and start to run another backup. (Note: when you run the software again you may see the option to run another backup from the home screen.) In this case click on the drop-down menu almost invisible in the title bar (blue arrow), then select "Backup" (red arrow) in the menu.)

  

  On the screen "Data Backup", check the "local".

  'Creating data backup' screen will display a box titled "Browse...". "under the title"Where. "

  At the bottom of this box, you should see the path where Dell Backup and Recovery saved your backup.

  For me, the default location is "C:\users\CURRENT_USER\Documents". (CURRENT_USER is your user name).

  If you navigate to this location in Windows Explorer, you should see a folder named "Profile1". Here's my Dell backup files are stored by default.

  If for any reason you do not see a folder named "Profile1" I open the files in the default location and search for files with the .inp file extension. What are your backup files.

  BTW, for anyone reading the FAQ is NOT DELL-Jesse L linked to you to note what the FAQ for Dell backup and recovery that is currently in use. This is the FAQ for their former Dell DataSafe Local Backup 2.0 software which they no longer use. If you read that FAQ you can noticed the question and the answer below:

  How can I move backups of the system to another location for storage?

  Backup system can be moved to another storage location if you wish. Simply open Dell DataSafe and edit the backup for backups of your system profile. When you select the location, select the location where you want that all backups of the system to create. The application will automatically move all backups of your system to this new location.

  I just tested this in the current version of Dell backup and restore (version 1.8.1.70), and he did NOT move my old files from backup to the new location, he created a new copy from the backup, so you should delete old copies manually.

  I hope this helps someone.
