Select the folders of files and Finder> Get Info and at the bottom change the permissions to everyone read and write.
then click the spoky thing and "apply to enclosed items"

iTunes: How to move [or copy] your music to a new computer [or another drive] - http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4527
Quick answer if you use iTunes default preferences settings: Copy the entire iTunes folder (and in doing so all its subfolders and files) intact to the other drive. Start iTunes with the option (shift on Windows) key held down and guide it to the new location of the library.
The above is how you should do it. Your playcounts and ratings are stored along with all other information about your iTunes collection in the library.itl file. If this wasn't part of the move then they got left behind.

Help, Library corrupted, need to save ratings, play counts, and last played

Help, my iTunes lost its connection to my media server yesterday and it seems to have totally corrupted the library. I have all my music files intact, but if I recreate the library by starting afresh, I will lose 6 years worth of ratings, play counts, and last played dates. I do not want to lose this information. I have the information in an library export.
How can I add back the music and restore the metadata??

I am having this exact same issue in iTunes 11 running on OSX 10.6.8.
Short tracks (less than 10sec) do not update their metadata to increase the play count. However if I play a short track on my iPod or iPhone and then sync with iTunes the play count and last played info is updated.
This really messes up my smart playlists that use playcount limiters.
I hope there is a fix for this soon.

How can you shuffle songs in a playlist in itunes 11?

You used to be able to create a playlist, shuffle it, then synch it to your ipod. This was done easily with a shuffle button in the library. In 11 that button is no longer there. How can you do this now?

Your question is clear, but you then go on to say something completely different. I've answered your question "how can (you) shuffle songs in a Playlist in iTunes 11".
In Playlists, click on the "start playing in shuffle mode" icon (that I've ringed). And...
In this next shot (the space you need to watch), you can see the Shuffle icon (ringed in larey lime) is blue, so it's "on", and I've also clicked on the "show me what's coming up next" icon (ringed in red). Study the list of upcoming songs. It's the Playlist we're in, but shuffled:
Hey presto!
Now - if you actually mean something else, such as: "create the Playlist, adjust the order of the songs and then Sync it to the iPod"; then as before, you can drag songs within a Playlist to whatever order you want and Sync the Playlist - as before. I've no idea what the "button" you refer to, looked like. Can you explain?

Lost my ratings, play count and last played

HI, I recently moved my library off my macbook and onto an external drive to save space. Somehow I lost all my ratings, play count and last played info. My Ipod still shows the ratings, however. Is there any way I can get itunes to import the information off my ipod? Thanks for any advice.

Can you put things back the way they were before you moved them to the external? If you can, then you can easily move it to the external by copying the entire iTunes folder to the external and opening from the new location using these instructions...

How do you sync voice memos and make CD's of them?

When you sync the phone with your computer voice memos are copied to your iTunes library with the Genre "Voice memo".
To burn to CD you do it the same way you would any music; create a playlist of the memo(s), the right click on the playlist and choose "burn to CD".

Yes. Configure your Shuffle to sync only selected playlists from under its Music tab. This article should be able to assist you with this.

Q: How do you sync all open windows and tabs?

How do you sync all windows and tabs? And if this is not possible, how do you nominate which Windows' tabs are sync'd?
Sincerely,

You don't have a hot-corner for that anymore.
You use a gesture for that now. You can either 4-finger swipe down, or place the tips of your fingers in the center of your track pad. Your fingers should be bunched up and touching each other. To show all windows, expand your fingers, as if you were showing someone "5" on your fingers.

HT4918 How do you sync your IPad with apple tv?

How do you sync an iPad 2 with apple tv?

Welcome to the Apple community.
You can't sync an iPad with an Apple TV, maybe you mean AirPlay.
Assuming both devices are on the same network and that AirPlay is not turned off on the Apple TV, then simply tap on the screen when you are watching content you wish to stream to your Apple TV, then tap the airplay icon that appears in the control bar, choose the Apple TV from the menu that appears.
When displaying the content you wish to mirror on the iPad 2, iPad 3 or iPhone 4s, double tap the home button (quickly) and swipe the bottom row of apps to the right to reveal the playback controls, tap the AirPlay icon and select your Apple TV from the list of available devices.
