Import iTunes library

Reply Contact

Hello,

I need some advice from you all :

I saved my former iTunes library form my PC and brought back to my new iMac using the FTP protocol.

When loading iTunes, I can't find my fomer configuration as before.

Here is how i managed my folder :

Musique/Itunes (folders configured like this in the firm)

I_Itunes Library

I_Itunes Music

I_Itunes Music Library.xml

I_Previous Itunes Library

I_ITunes Artwork

Did I miss something?

BTW, I am not realling willing to build again a new configuration on Itunes (hours of copying CD.....)

Thanks for your help.

Guy

Did you just save it onto another HDD? I just drag and drop the iTunes music folder into the Library folder of iTunes and it seem to just do it! Done from mac to PC and vice versa.

Thnaks Peter,

In fact I just saved it in my current Mac HDD. It does no run...

Where I saved is in the folder Music/Itunes. By the way, I can see a Libray Folder of Itunes.

I have in my Itunes folder the :

- Album network (folder)

- Itunes library (data file)

- Itunes Music folder

- Itunes Music library.xml

I also tried to drag and drop in the folder Bibliothèque/Itunes where there is the Itunes Plug-ins folder.

It does no run...

The folder Bibliothèque is the one where there is all the programs installed, like the program files folder on windows.

Cheers Peter,

Guy

Hold down the ALT key whilst opening iTunes (some of your open programs may disappear, just click their icon again to get them back). A window will appear asking you to either 'cancel', 'create new library' or 'choose library'. Click 'choose' and select the file I_Itunes library. Finder should highlight as the only 'acceptable' file in the folder.
