[QUOTE="kcsummer, post: 1246420, member: 203488"] Sorry - I'm stressed, hopefully I have explained this okay Trying to transfer files from Windows7 laptop to IMAC Snow Leopard on a flash drive because the CD/DVD drive doesn't work and the computer won't connect to the internet either, hence its being sent in. (my laptop windows7 is the one to be repaired) I have to send my computer in for repair (my windows laptop) If I can't get them on a flash drive and can't them on my Mac then APPLE ripped me off bigtime. ACTUALLY I was supposed to send my laptop in over a week ago but I have been spending all this time trying to copy my itunes. i copied my pictures onto the flash drive with no problem its just stupid itunes that is screwed up. i don't even know what extension the itunes is supposed to have for the music. There's all kinds of "parts" to the music, I HATE ITUNES its too friggin complicated. Plus you can't do certain things with it without paying them THIRTY CENTS A SELECTION EXTRA which is a little like buying the car but they refuse to turn the keys over till i PAY THEM AGAIN. HOW DO I DO THAT? I have copied them on my Windows7 laptop to a flash drive. When I look at the flash drive while I'm on the laptop it all looks to be there but then when I get on my MAC with Snow Leopard the only thing that shows are the selections that I added myself from my own cds. This is making me crazy because I need to get these backed up so I can send my computer in and in case they delete whats on my hard drive i do not want to lose any of my i-tunes and I already lost some last summer when someone stole my computers. I was supposed to mail my laptop in a week ago but still trying to do the itunes copy so I can transfer to my MAC. ?????? When I open it up it has stuff like It has 4 folders: Music, Videos, My DropBox, Pictures and a file called purchased.txt, a file called desktop.ini with exec on the icon and a file called Itunes Library with exec on the icon A folder that says Music and when I open that there is another file labeled Music and then A folder that says Itunes and also in that is a Folder that says Playlists Inside the 1st Music folder is another music folder and inside that is a folder called Itunes and one called playlists and a file called desktop.ini with exec on the icon when I open the Itunes file it shows a folder called album artwork, a file call itunes itunes library.itl with exec on the icon a file with itunes genius.itdb and exec on icon and a file with itunes library extra.itdb if I click on the itunes library.itl then it opens up to my copied selections that I got off cds. if I click on the other two .itdb files it does nothing inside the album artwork are two files : download, and cache and you can click on those and get files with number like 03, 15 NEVER THE ITUNES LIBRARY Is there a way to copy just one selection to the flash drive?
