ITunes :: Transferred Folder Does Not Show Playlists?

Mar 12, 2012

I followed the directions here precisely: [URL] 

The old computer was a Windows Vista with 10.6.040 itunes.  I copied the entire itunes folder to an external hard drive.  Interestingly, the media file in that folder was titled itunes music, not itunes media. 

the new computer is OX10.7 Lion.  No playlists, no purchased tab, but all the music is there.   

From what I read, the playlists should have come along.

ITunes :: Using Itunes To Play Music From External Drive / Playlists Show No Music File

Aug 6, 2010

...now I don't have the same functionality with iTunes. Basically, I can't use iTunes at all anymore as the interface for my music and videos. Once the external drive is mounted, I can navigate through it and play individual songs, but I can't use iTunes to do that. All my previous Playlists show up down the left side of iTunes, but there isn't any music in them.

I downloaded 2 songs yesterday, made a Playlist out of them, and because the path in the Advanced tab of the iTunes Preferences is correct, it automatically added the songs to the external hard drive. I synced my iPod and it was completely erased except for the 2 new songs. Is there a way to use iTunes to navigate my music like I used to when I stored the information on the internal hard drive but keep the information on the external drive? I have a Mac running Snow Leopard and the latest version of iTunes.

ITunes :: Folder Full Of Important Playlists No Longer Visible

May 25, 2012

To complicate matters, a few months ago I moved my entire iTunes library to an external hard drive, and that is not backed up by Time Machine. But, the folder was there after I moved all the files. It just recently seemed to disappear. Is there a way to recover the playlists from the files on my hard drive right now, or do I need to recover an older version from Time Machine Backup? How can I get all the playlists to return?

MacBook Pro, Mac OS X (10.6.8)

IMac (Intel) :: Transferred About 400 Gigs Of Data Using Migration Assistant But It Doesn't Show On Finder

Dec 10, 2014

I transferred about 400 gigs of data from my MacBook Pro to my new iMac using Migration Assistant, but can't find any of my data on Finder. I'm thinking that the data got transferred but not cataloged. Finder shows about 400 gigs of my hard drive being used, but the files it shows don't come anywhere close to 400 gigs. How can I find out what is really on the hard drive and how can I access my MacBook files I transferred?

ITunes :: Get Files To Appear In The TV Show Folder And Not The Movie One?

May 6, 2012

I have all my TV Shows on an external drive. Sometimes, when I disconnect and then reconnect the external hard drive to my computer I have to drag and drop the files for them to show in my iTunes library and then Apple TV. However, when I drag and drop the TV shows into iTunes, they somehow always seem to default to the Movies folder, I then have to edit them manually for them to only to show in the TV show folder. how I only get these files to appear in the TV show folder and not the movie one?

Applications :: Transferred To New Machine - Trying To Copy Over Mail Folder In Library

May 7, 2010

I've just transferred to a new machine, I tried simply adding my e-mail accounts in and have had trouble.
So, I'm trying to copy the Mail folder in my user's library on my old machine onto my new machine.

I've placed them in the correct folder, when I open mail it's not loading my old messages.

Any thoughts on why it isn't working? Am I missing something?

EDIT: Aha! Success, I copied my mail.plist file (under Library > Preferences) onto my new machine as well.

Applications :: I Can't Get My Mac OS 9 ITunes Playlists?

Sep 17, 2009

I know some of you out there will probably think I'm nuts, but please read the whole message first.

I have been disabled for a number of years, and recently a friend of mine purchased for me a refurbished MacBook Pro 15" 1.83GHz Intel Core Duo laptop, which, as you might guess I love, since my last Mac laptop was the 1999 PPC G3 400Mhz that croaked about 5 years ago.

Fortunately, before that late, semi-great machine died, I was able to copy to an external drive my entire iTunes folder, which contains the "iTunes Music Library" file as well as the "iTunes Music" folder with more than 1,000 songs in it. I do NOT have any written documentation on my playlists.

Now, many years later, I have this great machine that I love, and I cannot for the life of me figure a way to import my Mac OS 9 iTunes PLAYLISTS into Mac OS X iTunes 9. Additionally, the song file folders, structured perfectly in Mac OS 9, now get recreated in truly bisarre ways in iTunes 9, where I get multiple folders by the same artist if that artist has ever done a duet with someone, and soundtracks have been broken out into individual folders by each artist on the soundtrack, instead of all the songs being placed into ONE folder with the soundtrack's name on it, as it is in the Mac OS 9 iTunes Music folder.

All I want to do is recreate my library and playlists as they were in Mac OS 9, using iTunes 9 in Mac OS X 10.6.

OS X Mavericks :: ITunes Does Not Have Playlists

Dec 4, 2014

Having had some problems I used the Disk Utility to check the HD and it told me to reformat it. I copied the entire disk to an external drive, reformatted the HD then downloaded a new installation of Mavericks 10.9.5 as had been previously installed. The system is now back up but how do I recover the preferences and other information to run them on the HD as before. I have simply copied most of my applications across but, for instance, my mailboxes have all gone and my signatures. The iTunes does not have my playlists etc. etc..

a new problem with my MacBook I think. The iTunes widget on my dashboard isn't working correctly, when I click on the i button to turn around the widget to select a playlist, the dashboard freezes temporarily and when it turns around there are no playlists to select.
