• Transfer iTunes to external hard drive

  I transferred my iTunes library on an external hard drive (Seagate).  I would like to transfer CDs to laptop so that I can do it again on one of my iPod tunes.  There is no option for ' send to ' iTunes from the external hard drive.  I tried several times and failed.  I can listen to the music stored on the external hard drive but playing something other than iTunes.  I installed Win 10 (big mistake, but too late now) so I guess it's to play through their music app.  I also tried to send to the device Bluetooth drive external hard, but that no longer works.

  I plan to replace my Samsung laptop with a Macbook Pro I hope in the not-too-distant future, but for now, I'd like to tell me if it is possible to transfer iTunes from external hard drive to my laptop existing back.  He drives me crazy not less because you have probably guessed I am somewhat of a technophobe.

  Thanks in advance.

  An iTunes library is an index of media stored on your computer that has been added to the library. iTunes has to know where the files are located in order to transfer them to your device. If the albums in question do not appear in your library and then use the menu file > add folder to library to add them, and then either make them slide to the device if handled manually on the base, or adjust the synchronization settings as required, and synchronize.

  See make a library of portable split to some general information about the layout of iTunes library. According to what you have copied where in the place where exactly, and what you see currently listed, you may want to shift-Start-iTunes and open the database stored on the external hard drive or maybe copy the whole folder iTunes from the outside to the inside, or you can create a library laptop from scratch on the outside, if there only your media.

• Transfer data to external hard drive from XP to Vista

  How would I be able to transfer data from a XP hard drive (which is in an external case) on my new laptop with Windows Vista? Please let me know. Thank you very much.

  original title: I have a XP hard drive in an external case, and I would like to transfer the data on Windows Vista.

  There are several options:

  External drive is already connected via USB?  Your new computer sees the old disk when you open Explorer?  Is the drive external HARD in the format identical to the new machine Vista (probably NtfS)?  If this isn't the case, you must first convert the external hard drive to NTFS.  http://technet.Microsoft.com/en-us/library/bb456984.aspx (although written for XP, it works with Vista as well).

  If so, create a new folder on the new disc called 'From Old Computer'. Go to the old drive. Now * COPY * ("hold") the files to the new folder that you created. After getting everything copied on you can turn off the computer and unplugging the old drive to protect its content - where everything is not going according to plan.

  Now you can take your time by placing the files copied, where you want that they finally reside on your new computer.

  If you have problems with 'Access denied', follow these steps on the external drive of the new computer:

  In Explorer, right-click on the drive in question and select Properties

  On the Security tab, click Advanced
  On the owner tab
  Select you realize if it isn't already and
  Check "Replace owner of subcontainers and objects".
  Click OK twice (close all dialog boxes)

  Defines you as the owner of every folder and file on the disk

  In Explorer, right-click on the drive in question and select Properties

  On the Security tab, add your account if it is not already there and set full access
  Click on apply
  Click on advanced
  Check "Replace permission on the child all the objects with...» »
  Click on apply

  If you do not see a Security tab, then turn off Simple file sharing (you may need to do in reconnedcting the count to the old XP machine - I'm not sure that this can be done through the new computer).  To do this, see http://support.microsoft.com/kb/810881.  The same may be true if the nets and records are password protected (although using a different procedure to remove the password to protenctio similar to what lets you add it iin the first place.)

  If you have problems setting up the permissions or ownership on the disk external drive files and folders, some information here that might help:

  To view your permissions, right-click on the file/folder, click Properties, and check the Security tab.  Check the permissions you have by clicking on your user name (or group of users).  Here are the types of permissions, you may have: http://windows.microsoft.com/en-US/windows-vista/What-are-permissions.  You must be an administrator or owner to change the permissions (and sometimes, being an administrator or even an owner is not sufficient - there are ways to block access (even if a smart administrator knows these ways and can move them - but usually should not because they did not have access, usually for a very good reason).)  Here's how to change the permissions of folder under Vista: http://www.online-tech-tips.com/windows-vista/set-file-folder-permissions-vista/.  To add take and the issuance of right of permissions and ownership in the right click menu (which will make it faster to get once it is configured), see the following article: http://www.mydigitallife.info/2009/05/21/take-and-grant-full-control-permissions-and-ownership-in-windows-7-or-vista-right-click-menu/.

  To resolve this problem with folders, appropriating the files or the drive (as an administrator) and give you all the rights.  Right-click on the folder/drive, click Properties, click the Security tab and click on advanced and then click the owner tab.  Click on edit, and then click the name of the person you want to give to the property (you may need to add if it is not there--or maybe yourself). If you want that it applies to subfolders and files in this folder/drive, then check the box to replace the owner of subcontainers and objects, and click OK.  Back and now there is a new owner for files and folders/player who can change the required permissions.  Here is more information on the ownership of a file or a folder: http://www.vistax64.com/tutorials/67717-take-ownership-file.html.  To add take ownership in the menu of the right click (which will make it faster to get once it is configured), see the following article: http://www.howtogeek.com/howto/windows-vista/add-take-ownership-to-explorer-right-click-menu-in-vista/.

  If the external hard drive is not USB but IDE instead, here is an article on two methods that work for transfer: http://www.wikihow.com/Transfer-Data-Between-Two-Hard-Drives.

  ==================================================================================================================

  I realide what follows is not what you asked, but if it is still possible, it might be a better solution than moving the data to the external hard drive.

  If the external hard drive has only the data and you want to transfer settings and data (and perhaps even of programs if they are compatible with Vista) from the old XP machine (if it is always present and contains information on the new computer (which is better because it also transfers your program and other parameters (and maybe your programs) as well as the data (or you can ignore the data if it is the same which is))) already on the external drive))), then use the transfer tool.  Here's how: http://www.windowsnetworking.com/articles_tutorials/Migrating-Vista-using-Windows-Easy-Transfer.html#.  This is how I do the trasfer if I had to do it because it makes the implementation of the new computer much easier and faster.

  Here is another article on how to transfer data and settings from an XP machine to a new Vista computer using an external hard drive (although it discusses other methods as well): http://www.digitaltrends.com/how-to/how-to-transfer-your-data-from-xp-to-vista/

  Jere het another article on the use of Transsfer easy to pass data or parameters (and perhaps programs) from a XP computer to a Vista computer: http://www.bleepingcomputer.com/tutorials/tutorial138.html

  =====================================================================================================================

  I hope this helps.  If you have questions or problems on the way, do not forget to post back and get help.  It is best to do things right the first time.  And even once, I highly recommend using Easy Transfer (although this is not how you setup at the moment) for the transfer to get the new computer up and running much faster and easier.  The decision is yours.

  Good luck!

• When I transfer files from my hard drive on a USB flash drive, the transfer rate is very slow, about 250 KB / second. Is it possible to increase the speed of transfer rate

  When I transfer files from my hard drive on a USB flash drive, the transfer rate is very slow, about 250 KB / second. Is it possible to increase the speed of transfer rate

  depends on the speed, support USB 2.0, USB 2.0 ports, and with active BIOS settings

  (2) you can increase the speed, if your motherbaord has a USB 3.0 port and must be enabled in the BIOS

• Transfer rate slow during the transfer of data on HARD drive

  I tried to solve this problem, but if I found similar questions, I have found no valid solution.

  I transfer files on a windows 8OS my Transcend hard drive. He has connections USB 2.0 and 3.0.

  whenever I try to transfer files on the hard drive, it works very well and quickly up to 5%. As soon as the copy of the file reaches 5%, speed decreases rapidly until it reaches 375 kbps and flows to 0 before returning to 375 kbps, always not to transfer any data whatsoever.

  I tried a few solutions without satisfactory results.

  I tried to transfer files on the pc or the pc itself to check if the problem was on my hard drive also. This is to copy the files fine and good intra-pc, but fails to copy to the hard drive.

  Basically, the computer hangs after completing 5% and stops to copy, although always playing 375 kbps speed, which, even in itself, is too slow...

  kindly give me a solution to this weird problem.

  Former title: slow transfer HDD

  Thank you for your response.

  It has proved to be a slightly different problem, and if you're interested, the problem was something with the interface between the computer and the hard drive via the usb port.

  When I connected the hard drive to the USB behind the cpu, it worked perfectly fine.

  I do not know too well, I understand the problem, but I'm glad that's solved.

  Thank you for your attention.

• How to transfer music from iMac to an Android phone?

  As much as I'd love an iPhone, I have enough real phone use to justify the cost of services Verizon etc.  I need a phone only for emergency purposes.  Recently, I bought an Android phone that will play music and make some photos.  It also works on Tracfone, which is the service that works best for me financially.

• Music to another hard drive internal on PC

  Hello

  Because of space issues, I need to move my iTunes music to my C drive on my D drive, which is on a drive hard internal different than C on my PC.  It seems that whenever I tried to transfer my music, I don't properly.  Someone would give the correct steps to do this?  I don't want any music on the C drive, and I want to keep iTunes playlists that I have already created.  I have a Windows PC Pro 10.

  Thank you very much.

  You just copy the folder iTunes Music (\Users\username\My Music\iTunes\iTunes Music) on the other drive and then iTunes in preferences, under the Advanced tab, change the location of "iTunes location of the press kit" to the new drive and then click OK. IF it works, delete the original file. I left all the other folders/files in the main iTunes folder where it is, just moved the media like that takes all the space.

  I did it on my mac to a network volume that it works very well. I guess that the folder structure is the same in win10 as it is on the mac.

• iMac hard drive problem

  My older iMac 8.1 (Intel Core 2), running OS x 10.9 ran slow, then a few application icons disappears from the display, after a restart, the application has stopped working completely. I tried to reinstall OSX, when this does not work, I did a full erase and reinstall it again, still none of my apps does not work. It manifests itself, and when I click it, it does nothing. I even went back to my original OSX 10.6 Snow Leppard and reinstalled drive and my desktop icons appeared for a few minutes and then everthing disappeared. Also, this has happened during execution of 10.9 as well. Now the only thing that the computer be used to mail is electronic and Safari. I can't run programs and do not have access to HD. If I tried to re - install 10.9, it tells me that it is impossible at this time. I think that my HD is dead? You wanted to check before I replaced it. It starts well, can run internet but not impossible to install, download or run programs. Disk First aid indicates that the computer is fine. Can not really afford to buy a new Mac now, so hoping that this can be a cheaper alternative.

  How much free space on the hard drive?

  There is no 100% way to check the health of a hard disk. Disk utility check alone is doing a part-time job to check the directory structure but not physical integrity of the reader. If you select the top level of a drive in disk utility and then file > retrieves the information of to half way down you can see the report of the SMART State which can indicate if a drive is having problems.  With one of my discs that I checked that feature, but it was not picking up on several defective sectors systematically producing errors.

  The only real way to test a faulty hardware on a computer is to isolate the part (normally in the replacement, or do without it) and see if the issues go away.

  I always keep a clone bootable backup of my drive on a separate drive so I can still boot from the second disk to see if it's an internal drive error.  Having this type of backup is just a part of the ownership of a computer.

  I suppose there is also the possibility, it's another problem as the RAM.  A bad drive would be more consistent as to what elements show problems such as you see.

  You can check on sites like ifixit or OWC (macsales.com) for instructional videos on how to replace the disks.

• Select transfer photos on external hard drive

  I want to only transfer SOME of my photos in my photo library on an external hard drive to free up some memory on my computer.

  I started to do drag and drop single photos in a folder on my hard drive (Seagate Back Up more). Although it seems to work, I noticed that each photo that I transfer the file size seems to decrease as I transfer. I want to assure you that I won't lose resolution or quality in my pictures that I transfer, but what gives? Not sure if there's a more efficient or better way to go about doing what I do. I tried searching online and everything tells me how to transfer entire library and I really don't want to do that.

  Any suggestions? I'm nervous to start transfer photos if my picture quality is potentially declining.

  You select the photos you want to move to SMT and use the file export ➙ ➙ export original unmodified photo XXXX menu option.  This will give you full original sizes.

  

• Satellite Pro L300 - how Windows easy transfer on the new HARD drive?

  Hello

  I recently got a broken hard drive of a laptop larger than mine.

  I would like to put in my computer, but I don't know what would be the way to transfer the partition of installation (or better yet also already installed windows partition).

  Will I be able to reinstall linux in a few minutes, but for windows it's something else.
  Do you have an idea of the procedure?

  The best would be to make a mirror copy, or something like that for me, to have just to extend the size of some partitions.

  Thank you.

  Hello

  I recommend the creation of an image.
  You can create either an image that contains only the content of a partition or the whole HARD disk content.

  There are different image on the market tools. For the most part, you will pay for this software.
  But you can also use an internal utility for Microsoft Windows 7. Its share of the Win 7 system.

  If you are using Windows 7, I recommend this solution.

  Here's a nice page of Microsoft on this tool and how to do it:

• Transfer of files from hard drive

  My Compaq Presario of Compaq SR10010NX computer does not start.  The system is DW254A-ABA, serial nr. is MXK42006LQ how can I find out if the drive is still ok? If this is the case, can I transfer the files to a HP Pavilion Slimline, System nr. AW014AV #ABA, MXV95302WQ series or drive hard portable 500 GB?

  Hello

  It does not start up, which means you must use different way to recover (cannot transfer because the machine is dead) files. First of all you must check the machine, why it does not start? Any error? If the associated HARD disk problem you can test the HDD using HDD self-test. HARD drive may be allowed or may be dead.

  (a) if ok and cannot fix the machine: you can pull, put it in an enclosure and it becomes an external HARD drive.

  (b) if nok: you may need a professional service to retrieve files for you.

  Kind regards.
