How can I move both files and ratings to another computer?

On my desktop, I didn't let iTunes manage my music as my desktop is old and the c drive has limited space. I have backed up the music and I have also saved the iTunes Library.itl and iTunes Music Library.xml files in the hope of being able to transfer my music to my laptop and retain all ratings information I've spent so much time setting up.
I've copied all music from my desktop to my notebook under the iTunes Music folder. I've also copied the .xml and .itl files. In iTunes I'm happy to see that my ratings info has been preserved but iTunes cannot seem to find my files. I've made sure that my iTunes music folder is correctly set. I've also tried to manually change the g:\ reference for file locations in the xml file but it seems this doesn't help because as soon as I open up iTunes again it sets everything back to the g:\ location. How can I fix this without manually pointing every song to where it now lives on my laptop?
thanks,
glen
PS Even worse is that I tried the consolidate library function on my desktop and now my desktop is in the same boat. Can't find the files unless I manually point to where they are.
PPS Sorry, originally posted this in the wrong forum.

Hi q8,
move: select the controls, move them out of the tab container, drag them into the correct page of the tab container
hide: right-click the controls terminal (!), select "hide"...

    How can I move a file from photo stream to an event in iPhoto?

    Select photo stream on the left panel in iPhoto, then drag and drop the photo from photo stream to Events on the top left under Library.  If you then want to move it to a specific event in your library, click on Events, locate the photo and drag and drop it on the event you want to add it to.

  • I've an apple ID used to buy off iTunes and a mobileme account for the calendars and contacts. How can I move the calendars and contacts to the older apple ID and use it for iCloud?

    I've an apple ID used to buy off iTunes and a mobileme account for the calendars and contacts. How can I move the calendars and contacts to the older apple ID and use it for iCloud?

    If you remeber the password to that Apple ID then follow these steps
    1 - Make sure you have an email address that is NOT an Apple ID
    2 - Go to AppleID.Apple.com
    3 - Where it reads Manage Apple ID - Sign in
    Once you are signed in want to make sure the email address you are wanting to use is NOT set up as a "Recovery/Rescue" email for this account.
    [To check this - Main page where you see Primary ID - below do you see the email address you want to use listed towards the bottom? Yes - Delete / No - Good ./. If made any adjustments "Save" Next on the left select "Password & Security" - Answer your security questions you set up "if you have any" then scroll towards the bottom and check to see if you see the email address you want to use. Yes - Delete / No - Good] <-> Also you can change your password on this page as well. Any adjustments made "Save"
    Once this is done go back to the main page where you should read "Primary ID" and change the email address that is showing to the new email address youo want. "Save" Done
    I learned this not to long ago and worked for me. Hope this helps you!

  • How can I print BOTH legal and letter on my duel tray printer????

    How can I print BOTH legal and letter on my duel tray printer from my mac? on a pc you can choose "print according to pdf size" and the mixed document will print in both legal and letter auto-selecting the printer tray.

    Hello CKAY,
    My old printer does not show 8x10 either.
    In the printing preferences under the Paper/Quality tab, do you see a "Custom" option or button? There should be one in there somewhere in your preferences.
    Click on that and create a custom size of 8 in for the width and 10 in for the length. Be sure to "Name" it 8x10 Photo and click ok.
    Now give it whatever attributes you want under the other tabs and click Apply and OK (or just OK).
    Close out the printer and open it again and the new size you created should show in the list.

  • How can I open both UDP and TCP ports

    Hi,
    How can i open both tcp and UDP ports for an IP in Cisco ASA?
    Regards
    Ejaz

    Are you referring to port opening in Cisco ASA to permit certain traffic? I believe the following document should help.
    http://www.cisco.com/en/US/docs/security/asa/asa82/configuration/guide/acl_overview.html
    Adding a Standard Access List
    hostname(config)# access-list access_list_name standard {deny | permit} {any | ip_address mask}
    Example:
    hostname(config)# access-list OSPF standard permit 192.168.1.0 255.255.255.0
    http://www.cisco.com/en/US/docs/security/asa/asa82/configuration/guide/acl_standard.html
    Adding an Extended Access List
    access-list access_list_name [line line_number] [extended] {deny | permit} protocol source_address mask [operator port] dest_address mask [operator port | icmp_type] [inactive]
    Example:
    hostname(config)# access-list ACL_IN extended permit ip any any

    Hope this will help.

    You can use Parallels desktop or VM Fusion to run both operating systems at the same time. Both programs work well, but I personally perfer VM Fusion.

    About the iTunes library files
    Your iTunes library files track the media you add to iTunes, how you've organized it, and other information such as playlists. By default, these two files are in your iTunes folder:
    Mac OS X: /Users/username/Music/iTunes/
    Windows XP: C:\Documents and Settings\username\My Documents\My Music\iTunes\
    Windows Vista: C:\Users\username\Music\iTunes\
    Windows 7: C:\Users\username\My Music\iTunes\
    Windows 8: C:\Users\username\My Music\iTunes\

    I recently got a new computer and it wont sync with my ipod. How can i get my music and stuff on my computer?

    iPods and other iDevices are not backup or storage devices.
    Copy the ENTIRE iTunes folder (and all other desired data) from the old computer to the new computer.

  • My Gf has my iphone. How can I see recent messages and calls from another device?

    My Gf has my iphone. How can I see recent messages and calls from another device?

    Depending on your carrier, you may be able to see recent calls by logging into your account on the carrier's web site, if they offer such a feature, though incoming calls being shown is not usual. There will, as diesel said, be no way to see messages already received, either SMS/MMS or iMessages, without having the phone.

    How can I transfer Final Cut Pro X to another computer without connecting the two

    As Kappy said, download it from the App Store - this will give you a brand new copy. However unlikely, it's just possible you might be copying a corrupt version from the original computer.
    In the App Store, make certain you use the same Apple ID that the App was purchased with.
