How to Import Music/Playlist with program on one Hard Drive and Music on a different Hard Drive

So today I installed an SSD onto my PC and installed a fresh copy of Windows 7 on it and put my old hard drive as the slave so that I can just use that for storage and the SSD for the OS and the programs I use. The only program tossing me for a loop on how to configure it to pull its data from the HDD is iTunes. I have the latest version of it installed as of 3/11/15 and I thought it'd be as simple as changing where it looks for the music to my HDD. Unfortunately not, it imported some of my music before I even had a chance to do that but not all of it and it didn't import the playlist. I followed the steps on this troubleshooting page to the letter and nothing happened. iTunes: How to re-create your iTunes library and playlists - Apple Support
Hopefully someone else has done something similar to me and can help me out.

Assuming that your complete iTunes library (database, media folders, artwork, ...) is on the older drive, just hold down SHIFT while you start iTunes; when you get this prompt:
click on Choose Library..., navigate to the iTunes library folder on the old drive, select the iTunes Library.itl file you'll find there, and click Open.

  • How do import a playlist with my the songs in it to my second computer?

    I just recently bought an external harddrive for my 2 HP computers. I run Itunes on both. I decided i didnt want the one computer accessing the other through the network for the music as it has been a pain sometimes. My question is this. I have loaded all of my music and my playlists on to the portable hard drive and even loaded it all on to the 2nd computer. the playlists are there and the library is good but the playlists are empty. It took me over 3 hours to make my playlists on my other computer. Is there some way to have the songs appear in the new computer's playlists?
    Help

    No what? I didn't ask a question.
    And iTunes does not use the .xml file for anything.
    It is created ONLY for other applications to use the iTunes library.

    How to import a playlist in Home Sharing From Computer to computer and other devices?

    No need to "import". Just find the photo in iPhoto (i.e. within the application), click it once so it's highlighted with a blue outline, then select Edit menu > Copy (or just ⌘-C). Go to Address Book, select the contact, click the Edit button at the bottom, click once on the blank photo icon so it's highlighted with a blue outline, then select Edit menu > Paste (or just ⌘-V).
    FYI, the original iPhoto images are stored as individual files, in ~/Pictures/iPhoto Library/Originals/subfolders.
    Hope this helps...

  • Problem Exporting / Importing print forms with program RSTXSCRP

    Hi!
    there is problem Exporting / Importing print forms with program RSTXSCRP.
    when I transfer print form from one SAP system to other, logo image and some text is missing... what could be the reason?
    Maybe there is other way to transfer print forms between SAP systems without using program RSTXSCRP?
    Will reward,
    Mindaugas

    Hi,
    when you transfer print forms from one sap system to another, logos are not transfered automatically. these are actually .bmp files which need to be existing in every client. then only when you run your print program logo can be seen in your print output. hence logos need to be created explicitly in every client where you want to run your print program.
    thanks,

  • When I import a cd with more than one artist iTunes separates each individual artist - how do I get it to show the album as a whole rather than individual artist?

    When I import a cd with more than one artist itunes shows each artist's song separately and won't group the album as a whole - this is incredibly frustrating something that Windows media player doesn't do. Does anyone have a simple cure for this annoyance?

    Generally all you need to do is fill in an appropriate Album Artist. For more details see my article on Grouping Tracks Into Albums, in particular the topic One album, too many covers.

  • I have a ipod touch 5g. The music wont sync from my computer to it and music downloaded on my ipod won't synce to my computer. How do I fix it?

    I have a ipod touch 5g. The music wont sync from my computer to it and music downloaded on my ipod won't synce to my computer. How do I fix it?

    Only iTunes purchased music can hava a cloud icon and then only if the music was purchased with the account listed in Settings>iTunes and App Store on the iPod.
    Was the iPod previous synced to another iTunes library/computer?
    Have you successfully synced from this iTunes library/computer before?
    If so have you done anything like update iTunes on the computer since it last successfully synced?
    Do the songs play in iTunes?          
    Does any media now sync to the iPod?
    Do you have the right boxes checked to sync?

  • Hi! How do I reinstall iTunes software without losing my purchased movies and music?

    Hi! How do I reinstall iTunes software without losing my purchased movies and music?
    Thanks anyone!

    Just reinstall. Unless something's seriously wrong with your computer, you won't lose any content or settings. Of course it's always wise to have a backup before you make any changes to your computer.
    Might I ask what problem you're experiencing that you think will be corrected by reinstalling iTunes?
    Regards.

  • How can I view my full billing history for the app and music stores without iTunes installed?

    I just received an email receipt from Paypal showing a $12.99 purchase from iTunes. I almost NEVER purchase anything over around five dollars in the app or music store. Since PayPal does not show what this purchase was for, I have not received the receipt from Apple yet, and I cannot find anyway to look up online what this purchase was for....I need help to find out ASAP what this purchase was. If my account has been compromised or if I have been incorrectly charged for something, I would like to get the issue handled immediately. I do not want to install iTunes on my PC (nor should I have to for Pete's sake), but I cannot see anything recent at all in my app or music history on my iPad (not that I would ever purchase anything for $12.99 anyway...I just don't). Thanks in advance for any tips!

    How can I view my full billing history for the app and music stores without iTunes installed?
    No.
    If my account has been compromised
    If you even think this may have happened, immediately change your password.

    Not quite sure exactly what you want to do, but you cannot do it on a PowerBook. iCloud requires Lion and Lion requires an Intel MacBook or MacBook Pro.

    2) It would be equally helpful if there was something that would take the name of the picture file and spotlight comment, copy and paste it to a movie file's comments with the same name but obviously has different extention. For an example
    In a Pictures folder
    Name: Dark Knight, The.jpeg       Comment: (2008) Genre: Action...             <- copy comment
    In a Movie Folder
    Name: Dark Knight, The.m4v       Comment:                                               <- paste

    This Bash script will do it.
    Edit "PicDir" and "MovDir" to the location of your Folders
    (Note: The comment is written to the m4v file using xattr, so the Spotlight comment field appears blank in Finder, but the comment metadata is still indexed by Spotlight (If you add a Spotlight comment from Finder, it is stored both as an extended attribute and in a .DS_Store file)
