This is absolutely ridiculous.
Like the rest of you, I have a big library of my own CD's plus loads of purchases. I am about to get to get a new laptop and want to transfer my itunes lib to it.
It simply beggars belief that apple have just taken this option away - seriously - why the **** would they do this?
I've downloaded synctoy but am not sure how to use this. Should I just copy my whole C:\Users\Laptop\Documents\Itunes library to a DVD disk? (as I don't have an external drive).
Once done, how do I then import everything back in? Because previously, as the backup function came from itunes itself, the import process was simple. Now it seems I'll have to do it file by file, directory by directory.
As a novice, could someone please help me (step by step) to transer my whole library to a new PC? I'd be really grateful. Is it possible to wind back the version to get the function back? Also, could someone tell me how i can rage at apple about this because it is, without doubt, the most ridiculous change to the software I have ever heard of.
Thanks guys - all help gratefully received.
