You mean your created song files ? Are you trying to move stuff to the external USB 2012 BIAB hard disk ? Need more clarification on what exactly you are trying to do.

AS Elmer Fudd said! "Vewwy Cafuwee!"

If they are song files save in 2010, just open them. If they are files that you want to move over drag them.



Just not kicking and screaming!

Fishbobb,

Are wanting to fun BIAB 2012 from your computer's internal hard drive or do you want to run it from the USB drive?

Regards,
Noel

Its going to be much easier to put your 2012 BIAB into 2010 by installing 2012 into your old BB folder. Its possible to get your 2010 files into 2012 by copying them from your old installation into an installed BIAB 2012 but that CAN BE a real P.I.T.A. if you have lots of stuff to move. In order to do that you would have to identify each thing individually that you want to move that would not be included in 2012. In my case that means having to identify all the files and folders associated with 15 Norton Style sets, the files and folders associate with a half dozen or so PG music pieces of instructional software that I purchased several years ago, ,all the folders full of songs that I've created over years and years of using BIAB, a God knows what else. That BB file has gotten packed with lots of stuff over the years and I made the mistake of installing an new iteration of BIAB on a new computer recently and eventally had to go back and copy an older folder and install into to get my Norton styles to all work.

Installing into your old folder keeps all your third party add-ons etc intact and also backs up your old 2010 installtion while updating your BIAB to include your latest purchase.

If you really have to get your files and folders into your usb BB folder, just open up the BB 2010 and the BB 2012 folder and drag and drop. If all you have is your created songs, then that should be easy, but anything extra increases the difficulty.

The Band-in-a-Box® Flash Drive Backup Option

Today (April 5) is National Flash Drive Day!

Did you know... not only can you download your Band-in-a-Box® Pro, MegaPAK, or PlusPAK purchase - you can also choose to add a flash drive backup copy with the installation files for only $15? It even comes with a Band-in-a-Box® keychain!

For the larger Band-in-a-Box® packages (UltraPAK, UltraPAK+, Audiophile Edition), the hard drive backup copy is available for only $25. This will include a preinstalled and ready to use program, along with your installation files.

Backup copies are offered during the checkout process on our website.

Already purchased your e-delivery version, and now you wish you had a backup copy? It's not too late! If your purchase was for the current version of Band-in-a-Box®, you can still reach out to our team directly to place your backup copy order!

Note: the Band-in-a-Box® keychain is only included with flash drive backup copies, and cannot be purchased separately.

Handy flash drive tip: Always try plugging in a USB device the wrong way first? If your flash drive (or other USB plug) doesn't have a symbol to indicate which way is up, look for the side with a seam on the metal connector (it only has a line across one side) - that's the side that either faces down or to the left, depending on your port placement.
