HT1751 How can I move iTunes Music from one drive to another?

I'm having trouble ... hoping someone can help.
Windows XP Pro.
My MP3s were on a networked Data Drive (Z:).  I drag the songs I want on iTunes from there to the iTunes program, and it's library
was in the "normal" place (\Documents and Settings\MyName\My Documents\My Music\iTunes\iTunes Music ).
I copied my iTunes library folder onto an external drive and also copied the Z drive MP3s onto the external drive. I then put the MP3s
on a new computer with Windows XP Pro, downloaded the latest version of iTunes on the new computer, and then drug the iTunes
folder from the external drive onto the new computer in the exact same "normal" place as above.
When I open iTunes, my music is not there for some reason.  Is there any way to correct this sort of readding all my music and all
my cover art?
Thank you.

Thank you for the response.
I cannot find the file   iTunes Library.itl   ...   
I have the structure you mention:
<User's Music>\iTunes\iTunes Library.itl where <User's Music> is the music folder of the profile as defined by the operating system.
but that file is not there (I looked in the preferences of iTunes in order to find the location and that is the location it stated).
"iTunes can be connected to a library in a different location by holding down shift as you start it and clicking Choose from the options to Choose or Create a library."
I can do this, but again, there is no .itl file that I can find ... now I'm more confused         Of course, if I fire up my old computer, there is no drive Z any longer, so while all my music appears on iTunes, I cannot click on any as it then will not be able to find the song on the drive that no longer exists.
I am going to do a search on the old computer for that .itl file to see if it was just in some other place for some reason.

    how can you move the objects from one server to another?

    Hi,
    Collecting objects for Transporting
    1. rsa1->transport connection
    2. left panel choose 'object type', middle panel choose 'infocube' and 'select objects'
    3. then choose your infocube and 'transfer'
    4. will go to right panel, choose collection mode 'manual' and grouping only 'necessary objects'
    5. after objects collection finished, create request
    6. If they are $TMP, then change the package.
    7. When you click the Save on the change package, it will prompt for transport. Here you can provide an existing open transport request number, or if you like here itself you can create a new one.
    8. You can check the request in SE09 to confirm.
    Releasing Transport Request  
    Lets say you are transporting from BWD to BWQ
    Step 1: In BWD go to TCode SE10
    Step 2: Find the request and release it (Truck Icon or option can be found by right click on request #)
    Note: First release the child request and then the parent request
    Steps below are to import transport (generally done by basis )
    Step 1: In BWQ go to Tcode STMS
    Step 2: Click on Import queue button
    Step 3: Double Click on the line which says BWQ (or the system into which transport has to be imported)
    Step 4: Click on refresh button
    Step 5: High light the trasnport request and import it (using the truck icon)

  • How can I move a photo from one project to another

    How can I move a photo from one project to another without creating a duplicate so I have the same photo in two projects.
    I seems to me in the past when I moved the photo from project 1 to project 2, I would get a number showing the # of photos being moved and you could drag and drop in the 2nd folder and the photos would disappear from project 1 and show up in project 2. is there a setting I am missing.  Now when I drag and drop the photo no red # shows up and the photo stays in project 1 and also shows up in project 2 apparently creating a duplicate.
    Any suggestion?

    The projects are the basic containers.  Each image and all its versions are in exactly one project.
    You can use an image in many albums, without duplicating it, also in many products like books, screensaver, slideshows.  But the projects are the basic structure of the library and you cannot have the same image in two different project, without duplicating it by storing the same original image files twice. Use albums to organize your library thematically.
    Sorry, I misread your question.   Dragging an image file between projects should move the image and all its versions to the other project.  Aperture should only duplicate the image, if you hold down the alt/options key while dragging and move the image otherwise.
    Which Aperture version are you using? And which MacOS X version?  Is your profile signature "MacBook Pro with Retina display, Mac OS 9.2.x, Aperture 3.5.1" still valid?
    In Aperture 3.6 on MacOS X 10.10.1 dragging between projects is still working as expected:

    Lisa,
    Just get copies of the song files and add them to your iTunes library.  With the exception of any DRM-protected files (purchased before mid-2009 and never upgraded) they will play fine, even though they are technically associated with the original account.

  • In contacts app how can I move a contact from one group to another group?

    I find I cannot move a contact from one group to another group. If I delete a contact from one group I delete that contact from my total contact population. I did not have this problem in earlier IOS versions. Can anyone help me?

    Thanks SO much, Barney.  How embarrassing, I could have sworn that I tried that first.
    I will definitely get them all moved over before I delete that account and I've already gone in & changed my preferences.  Several years ago, my husband I decided to share one calendar and one contacts list, using his mobile me account and it's been great for us.  I'm particularly thrilled to no longer serve as a human rolodex and I guess that I paniced a bit when I thought there might be a problem with our system.  I'm still confused where that "On my mac" account came from on the first place.  Do you suppose that was an automatic thing that came with the Mountain Lion upgrade?
    thanks again!

  • How can I move particular users from one client to another client

    Hi, I am trying to find a way to move few or many user from one client to another. Is there a transaction available or program to move them. e.g. there is a SCC1 available to move transport only from one client to another without going through TMS.
    Is there any trick available ?
    thnx in advance

  • In contacts, how can I move a contact from one account to another?

    My husband and I have (happily) shared contacts for years and all of a sudden we realized that some contacts would show up on one of my devices, but not on his.  After looking at the issue more closely, we realized that I somehow now have (and do NOT want) an additional contacts account called "on my Mac" that has been inadvertently populated with 22 contacts.
    1)  How can I move those to our shared account?
             When that is complete,
    2)  How can I delete the account called "On my mac"?
    Thanks!

  • How can I MOVE some projects from one library to another?

    As the aperture library grows quite big and I want to split it into several smaller ones. How can I move projects from the old library to a new one without export them and re-import them all again? Is it possible to retain all adjustments after migration?
    Thanks!

    You export the project by CTRL / Right- click the project and choose 'Export' > 'Project'. The same if you go via the file menu.
    Every adjustment you made, books created, albums etc. will be kept in the exported project and are available again when you import it to another library.

  • How do I move imported music from one library to another?

    I keep my iTunes library on my iMac. I imported a few discs onto my laptop's external HD iTunes Library. After I connect the external HD to my iMac how can I add some of the music to my iMac's iTunes library?

    since iTunes 9, there is _*Home Sharing*_. no unplugging/replugging.
    or, if you must, drag the folder(s) with the desired content from the external into an open iTunes window on the iMac. be sure, though, you have iTunes' location pointed correctly, +keep iTunes media (or music) folder organized+ and +copy files to+ ... checked in iTunes >preferences > advanced, before you proceed.

  • How can I move my bookmarks from one laptop to another without losing those on the destination laptop?

    I have an older laptop that has a lot of bookmarks that I want to save onto a newer laptop. I've been told that I can move them easily enough, but that that procedure will wipe out the bookmarks on the destination laptop. How can I avoid that?

    Your contacts should be on your computer.
    You should have been syncing them with your computer from day one.
    have you failed to do this?

  • How can I move a photo from one Album to another?

    You can't move pictures between albums on the iPad. You must do this on the computer that you sync the albums from.

  • How can I move Logic settings from one machine to another?

    I have a plugin that works find on my desktop but not on my laptop.
    On the laptop, Musical typing" doesn't produce sound on a track that uses that plug, and I don't get sound when I connect the laptop to my MIDI keyboard. Works fine on desktop.
    I want to avoid a setting-by-setting comparison to find out the magic difference, so I'm hoping to be able to "move" settings from the desktop (where everything works) to the laptop.
    I've already been able to run the "non-working" project over the wife network from the desktop machine, and verify that the "working" one doesn't run properly on the laptop.: I can't run the -application- from the desktop, and I don't see a way to reset the relevant stuff to factory defaults.
    Machines: 2010=11 iMac desktop 8 GB RAM, I TB HDD and 2 TB external drive. Both running Yosemite.

    Additional note
    Note: the problem plugin is called "Hauptwerk", a set of pipe organ sounds. You change its settings in the app; it doesn't expose its controls in Logic.
    But when properly set up, Logic will play its sounds either fro Musical Typing or an attached MIDI keyboard.
