iTunes mediathek übertragen

Hallo zusammen


Ich habe folgendes Problem. Ich habe mir ein neues MacBook Pro gekauft. Bisher habe ich mit Windows XP gearbeitet. Auf dem neuen Rechner fehlen mir jetzt ganzen Daten meiner bisherigen Mediathek von ITunes. Wie bekomme ich die in die neue Mediathek.


Besten Dank schon mal für eure Hilfe

MacBook Pro, OS X Mountain Lion (10.8.2)

iTunes: How to move [or copy] your music [library] to a new computer [or another drive] - http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4527 - a somewhat bewildering and not always easily understandable set of options.


Quick answer if you use iTunes' default preferences settings: Copy the entire iTunes folder (and in doing so all its subfolders and files) intact to the other drive. Open iTunes and immediately hold down the Option (alt) key (shift on Windows), then guide it to the new location of the library.itl file in the moved iTunes folder.

another poster recommended do not move your whole library. Moving the media (as it says) simply relocates just the media files and not all the other files that are a critical part of your library. iTunes is more than just media files.
