Help Locating music files after transferring  using Windows Migrartion Assistant

I am new to mac I just bought a new MacBook Pro Friday. I have an iPod, iPhone, and an, iPad that I need to get setup on my Mac. The way I have them setup on my Windows 7 PC is I can select wich iTunes library to open by pressing the shift key while clicking on the iTunes icon. My first question is can I set that up like that on the Mac as well? Also I used Windows Migrartion Assistant to transfer my music files from my windows 7 PC to my Mac after the transfer was finished I cannot locate the music files on the Mac anywhre. Can anyone help.

Apparently the old external drive is going bad. I turned it off and waited an hour or so and restarted it, and all my files were back. I have copied them to my PC hard drive to be safe. However, my iTunes is now totally screwed up. Although the music files are back where they were (for now), iTunes cannot find any songs except the few that were copied to the new drive when I did the consolidate. I tried the Consolidate Library again and it stops because it cannot find the files. Am I going to have to point iTunes to the location of every song, one at a time, for over 2800 songs?

    Welcome to the Apple Support Communities
    By default, Migration Assistant creates a new user account where it puts all the transferred data. Just go to  > Log Out, and log in the new user that Migration Assistant has created, so you will be able to access to the transferred data.
    If you want to merge the data into the first user account, use the Shared folder (it's in /Users/Shared) to put the transferred files there, and then, on the first user, go to the Shared folder and put all the data in the folders you want

  • TS1362 Unable to locate music files

    I've been using my ITunes for years. My stereo is hooked up to my PC and all I ever did was open ITunes, click on a playlist and enjoy. I recently got an Iphone, after I hooked it up..... I Tunes can not find any of the music on my playlists!!! Nothing has changed.....I can not for the life of me figure out why now....it can't locate music files to play like it has for the past 7 years!!! PLEASE help! I have even uninstalled and reinstalled ITunes just in case that helped...nothing helps...I can't play my music now.

    Tried this with no success. Can anyone confirm where I locate it from?

  • Can't locate music files?

    I have recently moved my iTunes library onto a network drive and iTunes is happily playing music from the new location.
    In iMovie on the other hand all I get is "The song xxxxxxx could not be used because the original file could not be located.".
    Surely iMovie uses the iTunes library reference to locate music files? What have I done wrong? How to I tell iMovie where to look for the music files?
    Thanks.

  • Playing iPhone music on a laptop using Windows Media Player?

    I would like to be able to play my music through my work laptop speakers when travelling. I don't want to sync music in either direction, just to be able to access & play the music files through a standard Windows Media Player. I've searched for a solution, but the only ones I've found involve jailbreaking the phone.
    The iPhone is 3G running OS 3.1.2. My iTunes files are encoded as MP3, so the file format shouldn't be a problem.
    As the software on the laptop is strictly controlled by the IT department, installing iTunes and my library is not an option.
    Any ideas?
    Thanks,
    Simon.

    Thanks for the replies. I don't expect it to be a feature of the iPhone, but do expect it to be a feature of the Windows software. After all, the Windows box can see the iPhone photos directory appearing as a removable disk... it's only software, right?

    Cannot print a PDF file after upgrading to Windows 8.1
    I can print anything else from either the Desktop or Start but not a PDF.  No error message but just does not print.
    Update: down loaded Adobe Reader which runs on the desktop so when I read a PDF file it now runs on the desktop and I can print it.

    You'll need to erase the drive by booting up holding command-option-r keys into your Recovery Volume.
    Use Disk Utility to erase the disk and then Internet Recovery. That will take a while.

    You need to associate your music files to iTunes instead of HP.
    Control Panel
    Programs
    Default Programs
    Set Associations
    Double click on the relevant item and select iTunes from the list.

    You were right the first time, it's bananas, not milliseconds.  ; - )
    Regarding multiple ways of doing things in Logic, that is the heaven and h-ell that is Logic. It's what allows people to pull off all kinds of musical stunts in ways that other DAWs wish they could accommodate, and at the same time increases the learning curve tremendously.
    Not to minimize your frustrations, but there are far more serious aspects of Logic that need addressing more than common sense things such as displaying units of measurement for fade parameter values. But insofar as customers can tell, the company has turned a blind eye and a deaf ear towards its customers. So for all intents and purposes, Logic is dead. And it will be for some time, until -- and only until -- they surprise us all by coming out with a highly stable, thoroughly tested updated version that works on PPC and MacIntel. But unless an insider is willing to spill the beans about current development/improvements in Logic, we will simply never know what lies ahead.
    In the meantime, I would suggest, as did the previous poster, to use automation to create your long fades. Use the fade tool just to fix minor problems or make small crossfades, or to shape the attack of sounds. Use automation for anything that would otherwise resemble a fader move.

  • Relocating music files after using migration assistant and time machine

    Hello
    I recently purchased an i7 MBP because my previous 15 in was stolen. Luckily I had a time machine backup of the old machine - my previous MBP was the Intel 2 Core Duo model just before the refresh to the i5/i7s
    So far what I did is ran migration assistant to bring my files over
    Everything seems to be fine, except when I got to iTunes much of my music is listed but I get the exclamation mark symbol next to most of the music and movies and apps
    I am trying to figure out how to fix this and relocate my files
    I know I could access my time machine backup by browsing other time machine disks, but I can't browse the music folder in a previous backup because I don't have the permisson to access it
    Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated!!

    Victor:
    If you correctly transferred your music files the problem is with your iTunes Library file.
    Open iTunes and quickly press the option key. A window will show to ask you to select the library file. Browse for it and it should fix the problem.
