Q: Transferring iTunes to new computer
Hi folks, im sorry to ask something that has probably been asked and answered a million times but I'm really struggling. I've looked back through the forum and can't find any answers related to me, I've read and tried loads of tutorial I've found but still getting nowhere.
IVe bought a new laptop, and want to transfer everything over from my old one, while at the same time I want to keep all my music in a differentmy named folder, and also for it to be in a different location. I downloaded iTunes on the laptop, and used an external drive to move over all the music, and all iTunes folders.
Ive got the folders located in the places I want, and have all the music added to the new iTunes. All my playlists are there, at least their names are. They playlists themselves are all empty. It seems none of the (what I believe is called) metadata has transferred over. All my play counts etc are at zero. I've tried several things, including changing the file paths in the XML file which I thought would have helped.
Anyone with any experience of this? Or know what else I can do?
