IPhone, iPod & iPad Music Transfer. Transfer Music to your Mac or PC. I found my library recently on my old iPod classic, but couldn't find anything to get the files off of it.

  1. i went into my pc hard drive files and looked for my itunes library, but it is not there. i want to get into some of my apps that i have deleted from my ipad and delete them from my itunes library.

  2. I came across this before. I used my iPod to copy all my songs and videos onto my new windows pc. Please remember to download the mac-formatted iPod to PC transfer program.

  3. I was able to save the library on a flash drive, 8GB, and then save it in my PC Music file. Went well, not too painful! Thanks for all your help, Merry Christmas!

  4. I don't have iTunes, but my daughter does. I thought that once you purchased on iTunes you did not have to repurchase and you can re-download. That way all the structure is maintained.
    She has 2 Macs and 2 PC's and never had to copy between them.

    • You don't have to repurchase, however, I needed to go from syncing my iPod on a MAC laptop to a PC. They use different software so you can't use the same device on two different operating systems.

    If the DCIM folder not showing on your computer, here are two solutions. However, sometimes, the DCIM folder would not show up on computer. Why wont library show on macbook. Here are two of the most common problems reported by users listed here to give you a hand in case you encounter the same problem.Bonus Tip: How to Fix DCIM Folder Not Showing on ComputerNormally, when connecting iPhone to PC, right after the iPhone storage is showing up, the DCIM folder can be seen.

A few months ago when OS X Yosemite was first shown to the public, Apple demonstrated its new Photos app. This app is meant to simplify photo management for all Mac users by emulating the looks and functions provided by the Photos app on both the iPhone and the iPad. This simplification comes at a cost though: when it finally releases its Photos app, it will replace iPhoto, its legendary photo management app that has been on every Mac by default for years.

This move will definitely be hard on a lot of users, especially those who, like me, got used to working with iPhoto for so many years.

How

Even worse: for most of us, our photo albums hold a huge number of dear memories, and as with every update, there is always the possibility of something going wrong when the time comes to migrate to the new Photos app.

With that considered, here are a couple of short guides on how to back up your iPhoto library both the simple way and the not-so-simple way.

Back Up Your iPhoto Library: The Easy Way

First, the good news (or bad depending on how you see it). In a very Apple way, in order to keep things simple and integrated on OS X, Apple consolidates your photos into a single, giant file that represents your photo library. But this file is not composed of just your photos, it also holds very important meta-data, like your events, photo stream shots and such.

To find your iPhoto library, open any Finder window and click on the Pictures folder. There you should find it.

To back it up manually and without complications, all you have to do is copy the entire file to any destination you want. It can be a USB flash drive or a portable backup disk if you want and that’s it.

Cool Tip: If you want to transfer your iPhoto Library to another Mac just plug your drive to it and copy your iPhoto library backup to the target Mac’s Pictures folder. Be warned though, this will replace your existing iPhoto library. So this tip is mostly targeted at new Mac owners or for those who perform a clean install of OS X.

Back Up Your iPhoto Library: The Less-Easy Way

If you want more control over what to back up from your library, there’s a way to do it that requires some digging around but that is perfect for that purpose.

For this, you have to head to the same iPhoto Library file within your Pictures folder, except this time instead of copying it, right-click on it and then select the Show Package Contents option.

Then, head to the Masters folders. There you will see several folders categorizing the different years your photos belong to.

When you open each of them, you will find folders for the different events, albums and dates that contain the photos as you organized them in iPhoto. There you will be able to select exactly what you want to back up and the way that you want to back it up.

And there you have it. Now you will always be in control of your photo library and most importantly, you will have peace of mind in case things don’t go that well with the new Photos app. Enjoy!
