Cant get library to load after transfer from PC

Ok so I copied my consolodated library to my mac including the library and XML file. I get the playlists loaded, but none of my music will load. No matter how many times I load the library it will not put my music on. GRR!
Thanks

How did you transfer the library and library files from your PC to the MacBook?
The song locations are stored in the 'iTunes Library(.itl) file (more info about the library files here).
If you just copied it to the MacBook, iTunes will still look for the path of each song on your PC.
There are a few ways to correctly move the library.
If you have a large capacity iPod, use the instructions in this article:
How to use your iPod to move your music to a new computer
If you have a FAT32 formatted external HD, use these instructions:
iTunes: Moving your iTunes Music folder.
First move your library from PC to external.
Connect the drive to the MacBook and copy the 'iTunes Library(.itl)' file to the proper location on your MacBook (./Users/YourUsername/Music/iTunes).
Then move your music from the external drive to the MacBook.
Then there is another method by changing the paths in the 'iTunes Music Library.xml' file and using it as an import source, but this will not retain all information. I can explain it if you can't use one of the two previous methods.
Hope this helps.

  • [Solved] Cant get fglrx to load after an overdue pacman -Syu

    I tried to launch steam tonight after doing a long overdue pacman -Syu yesterday, and it gave an error about GL. Upon closer inspection, no GL apps will run, giving similar errors:
    $ glxgears
    X Error of failed request: BadRequest (invalid request code or no such operation)
    Major opcode of failed request: 155 (ATIFGLEXTENSION)

    I'm using the unofficial pacman repo from Vi0l0, so I also tried his catalyst-hook package, and the catalyst and catalyst-hook packages from AUR, running catalyst_build_module all and rebooting a couple times, but with no success. (his repos seem to have newer versions of the packages anyways)
    Any idea what the root of the problem might be, or what I should try next?
    my kernel is:
    $ uname -r
    3.10.10-1-ARCH

    Ok, so I'm gonna go ahead and answer my own question! (This is why I dont usually post in forums!)
    I installed catalyst-test from AUR. Everything is fine now.
    Guess I didnt see that the first time looking through the older forum posts.

  • Cant get sw to load /re-load -accidently hit cancel

    was loading sw when I hit cancel.
    Now cant get it to load again/reload.
    Suggestions??

    Welcome to Apple Discussions.
    Uninstall iTunes and the iPod software updater in Add/Remove Programs from the Control Panel, if any, and try installing them again. Recommend to download the latest versions from the Apple site instead of using the programs from the CD.

  • Cant get netflix to load

    cant get netflix to load

    I am having the same issues with watching Netflix on my Mac. It started after I downloaded the new updates for Safari. When I try to watch a movie it tells me "plug-in failed". I have downloaded every plug that I should need and it still does not work. I know it is not Netflix because it tells me that everything is fine and it works on my Wii.

  • HT201269 I have lost all my contact details on my iphone 4s and I cant get them back even after hitting restore button.

    I have lost all my contact details on my iphone 4s and I cant get them back even after hitting restore button.

    This might be because that your game update or other software automatic update killed your contacts. You should make a frequency and regular backup for your iPhone so that all the data could be renewed to your backup data. Whenever you lost iPhone data, you have a choice to restore from iTunes. That is easy and free.
    However, this is not the end of the world if you don't have any backup of your iPhone contacts, you can recover contacts with iPhone data recovery software, but that need you to pay for it. So making a backup is a good habit.  Do you know how to use iPhone data recovery software to recover iPhone contacts without backup? If not, you can search in YouTube to get step-by-step guide to recover iPhone contacts from iPhone without backup. This is such an example: How to Recover iPhone Contacts - Step-by-step Guide.

    Turn on photo stream on both devices, settings > iCloud on the phone, system preferences > iCloud on the Mac.
    Photostream when enabled will only add photos from the camera roll that were taken post photostream activation. (Photostream does not currently share video)
    You should connect your device to your computer with a USB cable and import any photos taken pre-activation manually.

  • ITunes issues after transfer from another MacBook

    I just got a new MacBook Pro. My iTunes screen is too long & I cannot shorten, unless I go full screen. When I do I 'm not allowed to scrool down my music files when listing ipod selections. Essentially it is stuck at the top. The other selection options allowe my to scroll down. #2 I'm not allowed to update downloaded books to my ipod on new computer after transfer. Please assist. I have the updated version iTunes 1o.

    Hi Jim,
    I will go into a bit more detail with my situation in loading my ipod. I'm in the ipod screen (Music) I checked the selected playlists, artists, albums, and genres option.
    When I go to the actual PLAYLISTS, I can only check what is visible on the screen. When I scroll down in full screen or non-full screen, the screen goesdown the library list that is on the left and not my selected playlist. This did not happen on my older MacBook Pro. I tried updating the iTunes. Still it seems to be stuck. I have mulitiple ipods and this happens to all of them. What do you think ?

    Can someone tell me the implications of using the command RESET DATABASE on my system days after I did the open reset logs? I opened the database with the ALTER DATABASE OPEN RESETLOGS in SQL not RMAN and I see the below note.....
    Re: Can't get dataguard to recover after SAN crash.
    To reset the incarnation of the target database in the RMAN repository, which means to do either of the following actions:
    •Inform RMAN that the SQL statement ALTER DATABASE OPEN RESETLOGS has been executed and that a new incarnation of the target database has been created. Note that if you run the RMAN command ALTER DATABASE OPEN RESETLOGS (not the SQL statement with the same keywords), then RMAN resets the target database automatically so that you do not have to run RESET DATABASE. By resetting the database, RMAN considers the new incarnation as the current incarnation of the database.

  • Why after transfer from iPad mini To iPad 3 a Keynote presentation changes duration of slides?

    After transfer the presentation is not the same.

    Okay, I figured out that Windows has "AutoPlay" settings which can automatically download photos and videos from a newly connected device, such as an iPad Mini.  I think I could open it in Windows Explorer too that way but the auto download solved my problem.

  • Cant get videos to load

    Cleaned cache using ccleaner and delted too many cookies.  I am running windows 7 home premium 64 bit.  Videos on Cnn.com show ads but no video news content.  BBC games do not open.  Ads and games on addictinggames.com do not appear.  Happens with both IE9 and FF19.0.  No problem with Youtube.  Installed latest from Flash.  IE9 keeps asking me to install Flash but does not recognize after flash is installed.

    I am having the exact same issue - CNN.com videos will not load after the advertisments. I don't think my issue is caused by cookie deletion.  I believe I started having this issue after I reset my global flash settings.  I am wondering if removing the audio and video licenses caused the problem, although I didn't think I had any licenses on my computer to worry about losing.
    I'm runing:
    I7 MacBook Pro, Mountain Lion 10.8.2, Safari 6.0.2, Flash Plug-in version 11.6.602.171
    Really hoping someone out there knows how to resolve this.

  • Cant get Frontrow to work after installing 10.4.3 and updating it

    I made a terrible mistake today and moved all my files from my harddisk to my external harddisk. I had to reinstall everything but I cant get frontrow to work properly. I cant find it on my external harddisk either.
    Can someone please help me with this tricky question.

    Winbo:
    Can you describe your problem in a bit more detail? Why did you decide to move your files? What files did you move? What method did you use to move them? Did you move them over completely by way of backing up and then erased your disk prior to moving them back?
    Any other information you can provide will make it easier to make suggestions on your issue.
    Good luck.
