Can't find my iTunes library after transferring it from Windows to Mac

Hi!
I've followed all the steps to transfer my iTunes library from an HP laptop with Windows XP to a MacBook Air using the Windows Migration Assistant, but when the process is finished (after waiting for more than 8 hours), I can't find where the library has been saved.
I'd be really grateful if you could tell me where I can find it or if there's a problem with my computers.
Thanks in advance!

Migration Assistant creates a new user with the migrated data, so it probably created another user. To access to it, go to  > Log Out, and log in the new user. Then, your photos should be in Pictures folder.
If you want to merge them with the other user, you can use an external drive or the Shared folder to transfer them to the first user

  • Computer can't find exsisting iTunes library any longer

    I use a 500 Gig external harddrive for all of my media, both iTunes and other media. In a moment of stupidity I disconnected the USB from the computer evidently with iTunes running and later after I tried to plug it back it the computer is not finding any of the media. It still lists them in the library but when I click on it to play it will not find the file to play.
    The files are still intact on the external hard drive. I disconnected it agian, properly this time, and when I manually open the folders and double-click them it will play the songs.
    My thought was with the external drive disconnected delete all of the files within my iTune's library since it can't find them. Then re-import them from the iTune's library on the external drive.
    Would this work the way I think it should?
    Would this cause any problems with any iPod's currently being sync'ed with this account.
    Thanks!

    Hi,
    When you disconnect a drive that you have chosen as your location for storing your music, and then open iTunes, because it can't find your chosen folder it will switch to the default location which is in the iTunes folder.
    To switch it back - open iTunes Preferences/Advanced/General and navigate to the music folder on your external drive.
    Regards

  • Can't find MY iTunes library

    I recently set up a separate iTunes library for my wife's music on my iMac per instructions from Apple but now can't find my music library. The guy at the Apple store gave me a very confusing solution so I hope someone can give me a clear one. It's probably very simple to find it. Thanks.

    Well...if you're both going to use the same account on the Mac, I think your only option is to Option-Launch each time you need to change to the other library. There's no other way, really, for iTunes to know which library you want, so it should always open the last one that was opened.

  • Can't find original iTunes library...

    I have two iPods (both Nanos - one 6th generation and one 1st generation) and recently used method three on this page (http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1495) to create a second iTunes library for my second device. I followed directions to a tee and now can only find the new library. Any advice? Like many of you, I'm sure, my original iTunes library contains tons of paid-for downloaded songs which I would hate to lose. I wish I were more tech-savvy!!! Help!

    How did you save this file? iTunes doesn't actually have a save file feature so I am not sure what you did.

    anyone else having trouble attaching file in icloud webmail using firefox or internet explorer from windows or mac. i was able to get it to work from safari on a mac, so i guess it must be a browser thing, only enabled or working in safari?

  • HT1660 how can i find my itunes library on a new computer after my old computer crashed with my itunes library on it?

    I have a windows 7.

    It is on your old computer.  Restore your whole hard drive with all your irreplaceable things like photos in about 20 minutes from the backup clone you make on a regular basis.
    Downloading (using iOS or computer) past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store - http://support.apple.com/kb/ht2519 - enabled with iTunes 10.3 and newer; not all media formats are available in all countries (see: iTunes in the Cloud, iTunes Match, and iTunes Radio availability by country - http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5085 ); apps, books (not audiobooks), music, t.v. shows, and movies (some - not all studios have permitted this).  Downloading previously purchased movies and TV shows requires iTunes 10.6 or later.  Discontinued items not available. For items not included in the iCloud list (e.g., ringtones, audiobooks), or locations or computer systems where iCloud is not (yet?) available, you only get one download per fee paid.  Apple recommends,  "You always back up your iTunes library in the event that a purchased item is no longer available on the iTunes Store," (http://support.apple.com/kb/ht2519).
    Additional tip at https://discussions.apple.com/message/24176756
      Select the iTunes Store on the left side of iTunes if you have the sidebar displayed, or with the button at the top right.
      Click on Purchased on the right side under Quick Links.
      You can re-download your available previous purchases.
    If the above doesn't work, it is reported iTunes Support occasionally permitting a second download when asked nicely, but they are in no way obligated to do this. Go to https://expresslane.apple.com ; select 'iTunes' in the first column; 'iTunes Store' in the second column; third column click 'Purchases, Billing & Redemption' and proceed from there.

  • Can't find previous itunes file after moving info to an external drive to move library to new computer!!!  HELP

    I have moved my itunes files numerous times to new computers as I get one.  This last time I had everything running off an external drive, to conserve hard drive space on computer and hopefully from computer failure.  I need to move library over to new computer and get away from old computer that has Windows XP to the computer with windows 7.  After installing itunes on new computer and plugging in external to new computer, it finds all music and movies, etc., however, I can't seem to find the file that has the playlist info, play count, and to see where the backups of my iphone(s) are.  I have been working at this for days to no avail.  It may be right in front of my face but can't see where to find it.  HELP!!!!

  • Have old shuffle..can't find my itunes library!

    Have 2 issues. One, I have an old shuffle that I'd rather not change the content, just recharge it..and so it does..but..my music library never showed up and I am sure that I have downloaded itunes on this computer..and that my library showed up on it when I plugged my shuffle in the first time.BUT, I can't seem to access it on this computer. I did download itunes on this computer, but got a confusing message about damaged files...so I opted to deal with that until I talked with somebody who knows what to do.
    Issue 2
    I bought a newer shuffle...hopefully my vast itunes library still exists..I have another computer that is being revamped..so I can't homeshare it yet.. Should I go ahead and install my new shuffle and hope for the best?

    I had the same exact problem...  After several days of reading various posts and messing around with my computer, I got it to work.
    I have Norton 360 installed and discovered that a feature called Stealth Blocked Ports in the Firewall settings was on.  I turned off that feature and my ATV2 found my itune library on my computer.  My iPad2 also found my itunes library via remote app.  The stealth feature hid all available/open ports from other devices, so I guess ATV2 could not find the an open port on my computer.
    By the way my computer is connected to a wireless router via ethernet cable.
    On my laptop (wireless) ATV2 found the laptops library with no problem, the problem was with my ethernet wired desk top computer which contained my main itunes library.
    I hope this helps. 

  • Can't find my iTunes library on my laptop.

    Can't find iTunes library on my laptop. Daughter's library is there, but mine doesn't seem to be. When I plugged my ipod in, got a message indicatng my ipod was synced to another library and asking if I wanted to erase it and sync with this one.  Can 2 iTunes libraries be stored on the same laptop? (I'm not tech savvy - appreciate any help offered.)

    Is this the computer the device was syncing with previously?
    If not, where is that library?  The library will only be where the user puts it.
    Syncing is one way, computer to iDevice.
    Multiple libraries can be stored on a single computer... if that's what you really want.

  • Mountain Lion can't find my iTunes library

    I installed Mountain Lion. It said that it couldn't open iTunes because my iTunes library was on a drive that was locked. I changed the permissions on the drive. (I have four internal drives in my Mac Pro.) I opened iTunes. I opened Preferences. I opened Advanced. I clicked "Change" and found my iTunes library. I clicked OK. iTunes shows two songs. When I click "Change" I see thousands of songs in my iTunes library. Why aren't my songs accessible in iTunes?
    When I change iTunes libraries a box appears that asks "Would you like iTunes to move and rename the files in your new iTunes Media folder to match the 'Keep iTunes Media folder organized' preference?" What does that mean?

    I would delete the unnecessary files but I don't know what's needed and what's not.
    I have "copy files to iTunes Media folder when adding to Library" selected, which gives me self contained libraries and all I have to do to delete one, is to chuck the whole iTunes folder.  I can also move any of my iTunes folders to anywhere that way and just use the option button to select them.
    If the libraries/iTunes folders are really empty (i.e. not just iTunes not seeing them when opened - you can always check via the Finder) there should be no problem deleting them.
    I mean, what if I had other libraries I wanted to choose from?
    By default iTunes puts a library folder into ~/Music
    If you wanted another one, you'd just launch iTunes with the option button pressed and selected it.

  • Can't find my itubes library after separate ipod sync

    My daughter synced her ipod on my computer and now I can't get back to my itunes music library?  Where can I find it or does it automatically try to sync to the last person's library?

    If you have a MacBook Pro, you don't have Mac OS 9.2.x.  You may have Mac OS X 10.9, which is 12 years newer.  Your Users -> yourname -> Pictures has your photos.  You may have control-mouse click the Pictures folder to reveal the package contents, which would include any Library XML file.

  • How can I get song titles to appear in iTunes library when transferring songs from iPod to iTunes ?

    My old computer crashed.  Trying to recover music from iPod.  Can transfer music, but not song titles.  Titles appear in 4letter mpg formats.  What am I doing wrong?

    Provided the files were properly tagged then iTunes should pick up the data when the files are imported into the library. The main problem is usually any files in .wav format.
    See also Recover your iTunes library from your iPod or iOS device. You seem to be most of the way there already but there are a couple of scripts mentioned near the end which you could use to recover ratings & playlists.
