How do I get my artwork to show up when I move library to second computer?

Like many, I've spent a lot of time getting my music and artwork correct and the way I want it.
I want to move it to a second computer but no matter how I try, much of the artwork doesn't follow the music.
iTune's "Get Album Artwork" will not find many of the missing ones and in some cases gets the wrong one or of low quality.
How do you duplicate iTunes exactly?
The apple support I've talked hasn't been able to help.
Thanks!

I have my itunes in a shared folder. ITunes is all that is in the folder
Exactly what iTunes folders and files are in the Shared folder?
Is the folder named iTunes or *iTunes music* (or iTunes media).
The iTunes folder with library files and artwork files and music are stored in /user/music/iTunes/ by default.
If you change iTunes prefs Advanced - iTunes music (or media) folder to another location, the media files are stored in this new location but the iTunes library files and artwork are still located in /user/music/iTunes/.
I may have deleted songs but not trashed them. As far as I know it's almost impossible to find them now.
Use this script -> List Music Folder Files Not Added v2.0
This script recursively searches user-selected folders for files not added to iTunes and creates a text file listing their file paths.

    Hi guys
    I have found the answer. I went to the I-store and one of the technicians solved my problem.

    Then you take the link: www.apple.com › Downloads › iCal Calendars
    It then takes you to the page where you can subscribe to it.

    Hey vlasta4444,
    It sounds like you'll want to change the time it takes for the computer to goto sleep from System Preferences> Energy Saver.

  • How do I get new Artwork to show on iPhone?

    I've been updating my Artwork Covers in iTunes, but literally none of the songs that already had ones are showing the new ones. I remembered when I would download songs, and since I have iCloud the songs automatically show up but the covers wouldn't be there, so I would load the song multiple times and they would eventually show. But this is not happening. Please help, I don't wanna different covers for every song on iTunes and my iPhone.

  • How do i get my songs to show up in my music library?

    My songs are on my ipod but they isnt showing up in the library. I connected the ipod to itunes and the songs are show up but the songs are grey and they wont play. What should i do?

    That warning is an indication that the phone has either never been synced with the computer/iTunes library you are attempting to sync with, or has synced with another computer/iTunes library.  Your phone is designed to only sync with a single computer/iTunes library.  When you attempt to sync with another one iTunes will first delete all iTunes media from your phone and then replace it with the media in the library you are attempting to sync with.  This can't be changed.  When you sync all music will be deleted from your phone and only the music in the library you are syncing with will be transferred back to your phone.  In your case, you would lose the 96 songs.
    Your only option is to use 3rd party software to transfer the 96 songs to your library before you sync so they will be synced back to your phone along with your other music.  If you think the songs may have been purchased from the iTunes store you can transfer your purchases before syncing by:
    Without connecting your phone, open iTunes and go to preferences, on the Devices tab check "Prevent...from syncing automatically".
    Connect your phone, right-click on the name of your phone on the left side of iTunes and select Transfer Purchases.
    When done, click Apply to sync your phone.
    Go back to iTunes>Preferences>Devices and re-enable automatic syncing.

  • How can I get an ampersand to show up when between two other letters, in a text variable?

    Using Indesign CC 2014, on Windows 7.
    Creating a catalog.
    The company name is used throughout.
    Since this catalog will be re-branded for distributors at random, the company name will change all the time.
    So, here's a text variable I'm defining:
    The issue is that when I attempt to use an ampersand (&) between two letter with no spaces, the ampersand disappears.

    Yes!! You got it!
    Works. Thank you!
    Wish I'd thought of that . . .

  • How do you get rid of the white background when importing.mov into SWF ?

    i'm working with a .mov file importing it into SWF
    example here of the object:    http://www.highlandmeditation.com/?page_id=2288
    is there a way in Flash CS4 where i can remove the white background that surrounds the movie?
    its not on the .mov file originally only when i port into SWF
    thanks for your help

    Well when you are finished drawing a picture when you select it you are able to make the drawings background transparent so when you put it on top of something else the background doesnt show up or you can have the background visible.

  • How to get the organized files back when you move to a new computer

    How to get your file folder organization back when you move to a new computer?

    Your PSE8 is using the default, new empty catalog that's created when PSE is installed.
    In Windows, search your entire computer for this file:
    catalog.pse8db
    The largest one that's found will be your old catalog.  If your computer people didn't restore that catalog file (and its entire directory), ask them where the heck it is.

  • I have garage band ver 10.0.2 and am trying to add effects to an audio track but i have no info button or track info under the track tab.  How do i get these things to show up on my program?

    I have garage band ver 10.0.2 and am trying to add effects to an audio track but i have no info button or track info under the track tab.  How do i get these things to show up on my program?

    In GarageBand 10.0.2 you can no longer add all kinds of effects freely; this GarageBand '11 feature has been discontinued. Pick one of the predefined patches that already has the effects you want.
    However, you can add effects from the predefined audio units.
    You'll see the predefined effects on the track, when you open the Smart Controls. To add audio units, click the button and enlarge the the smart controls pane by dragging the dividing line to the Track Area upwards.
