I'm moving to a new forum, I guess, but thanks!

I'm volunteering at a non profit place that resells and recycles old computers. Last week I got enough hours to receive the 1/2 off member discount and I bought a computer almost exactly like my current one, but different.
For $22.50 I bought an iMac 350 MHz with 256 MB of RAM and a 20 gig hard drive. No more frustrating Netscape 7.02!!! I'm awaiting a copy of OS X (I think 10.2) from my friend which I "bought". I've got Linux on it, but I can't figure out much. I do have Firefox, though, so I can go online--still can't download Flash, for some reason.
Anyway, thank you all for your help. I truly appreciate it. I think I learned a ton, and it will make OS X seems like a breeze. I'll still keep my other iMac. It's part of the family. It's funny, my new iMac is the exact same color, too; aqua or blueberry or whatever. It's slot loading instead of tray. And the CD-ROM actually works.
So I guess I need to pack up and move to a new forum. It's too bad. You guys are "classic", and they're probably all yuppies who complain if they can't open 7 applications at once.
Take care,
Allan

Thanks roaminggnome - very unhelpful. This page is now the first hit when you search on google for that string (which is what I did, looking for help, not snide comments).

Love the new forums... but

love the new forums... but hate the performance. Keep in mind my internet connection is 20MB/S download speed, there are times the pages wont even finish loading and you have to stop and reload again and/or very slow loading times. Of course, there are times the performance is as expected, but rarely. I hope Adobe plans to support the forums with better hosting.

As an od adage says: "Don't feel like the Lone Ranger".
which means everyone and his , brother, sister, Aunts, Uncles, mothers's and Father, and cousins on the Acrobat forums are complaing about the Speed.
There is really we as Users of the Forums can do about it other than complain and hope adobe will do something about it when they get finished with their easter holiday. Maybe that will be before their 4th of July vacation.

Moving into a new place

Hi,
My friend and I are moving into a new flat and are attempting to get our utilities set up before we move in. How do I go about finding out if we have a Bt landline when I cannot get access to the property and do not have a known phone number for the premesis.
If there is no way to do that could you please tell me the conventional method of finding out so I can tell my letting agency as they do not seem to know ( appauling isn't it).
Any help is appreciated,
Cheers.

Hi Tomkix,

Need for new forum/category

Considering that this forum/category (HCM Payroll Germany, Austria & Switzerland (DACH)) has been created more than a month ago and that not a single thread has been posted in it, and considering that the forum/category "ERP HCM (HR)" often sees more than 60 threads with postings per day,
could you please consider to create at least one or two new forum/category to help sub-divide the ERP HCM (HR).
Possibly ERP HCM - Payroll and ERP HCM - Time Management (and rename the other one ERP HCM - HR) ?
Remi
i have moved the thread from (HCM Payroll Germany, Austria & Switzerland (DACH) to suggestion and comments forum for better responses from sCN
Edited by: Sikindar on Oct 25, 2010 12:50 PM

And I have tried to post something in the "Idea Place", both from work and from home, and keep getting problems logging on, even when I'm already logged-in through the SAP Community Network.
Since my Passport has expired, I'm trying to get a new one from Marketplace, but i couldn't find the link yesterday.
As I have mentioned before, I believe at least one new thread is required due to the daily volume of postings.
I had initially posted in the "HCM Payroll Germany, Austria & Switzerland (DACH)" thread, then tried to post it in the "ERP HCM (HR)", and I will try to post it again in the "Idea Place" when possible.
While in the "Idea Place", I'll have to ask why the forum "SAP ERP HCM - Payroll North America" mentions that it is for SAP, ERP and HCM, while none of the others mention SAP, and some like the new "HCM Payroll Germany, Austria & Switzerland (DACH)" don't include ERP in their description.

I recently moved into a new apartment and I can connect with the internet by direct connection to the cable/internet modem. But when I connect my Airport Express, it just blinks with a yellow light and I cannot connect via WiFi. Any suggestions?

Moving to the new ST-Engine

Hi
We are looking into moving to the new ST-Scripting engine.
We currently have a mix of e-Script (95%) and Siebel VB (5%).
At the moment we are on 7.7.2.6 but we are planning the move to 8.0.
Can anyone share there experience with the new ST-Engine?
What are your lessons learned with the new engine?
Is it really faster? Is it stable or still to buggy?
Axel

Here is some information
Abstract
1-      In 8.0, there are lots of very valuable
features that comes only with ST engine. Those
features alone makes the ST engine upgrade very worthwhile (IMO).
2-      ST engine provides important performance
benefits in addition to the features.
3-      There are live customers on 7.7/7.8 with ST engine.
There is one customer I know of who is already live
on 8.0 with ST engine. This customer achieved, while
using 8.0 ScriptAssist feature
"lower TCO of customization changes" (quote from them).
4-      There are no open P1 defects for ST engine/features
for 8.0.0.2 at this time. Almost all the fixes are
already in previous 8.x code lines or there are
QF's for the important ones. Alerts are also provided
to keep the customers informed.
5-      ST engine may (probably will) require some script
rework because of new compilation warnings, minor
incompatibilities and if you are missing fixes.
6-      There will be a 8.1 feature, Script performance
profiler. This feature, together with St engine, may improve
the application server performance very significantly.
Details
1- Features
Repository based ScriptAssist and compilation:
Greatly accelerates development and upgrade.
http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/B40099_02/books/eScript/eScript_JSLOverview6.html#wp1035312
Fix & Go:
Greatly accelerates debugging by avoding repetitive .srf compilation.
http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/B40099_02/books/eScript/eScript_JSLOverview5.html#wp1035774
Services as Script Libraries:
Enables modular development, improves performance, prevents clumsy InvokeMethod calls, makes
the code shorter and readable.
http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/B40099_02/books/eScript/eScript_JSReference38.html#wp1084973
2- Performance
ST engine performs better in multiuser scenarios.
Tests has shown that on a typical (?), medium scripted
scenarios, with 400 users on a 4 CPU machine;
Overall Application Server CPU usage decreased by around %20
Overall Application Server Memory usage went down by around %10
Overall Application Server response time increased by around %30
To give you an idea about the peak performance difference
the following code runs around 16x faster with ST engine
function bar ()
return 0;
function TestPerformance ()
var i;
var a;
var oStart = new Date ();
for (i = 0 ; i < 1000000 ; i++)
a = bar ();
var oEnd = new Date ();
ReportTime (" " + (oEnd.getTime () - oStart.getTime ()) /1000);
3- I would love to hear more about the customer experience in this forums.
We'll try to make this experience and good as possible. When we've talked to
8.0 live customer, we only focused on very visible features, namely ScriptAssist.
This customer felt this is a very useful feature that helps them write eScript code more easily. They claimed they had made fewer errors through using ScriptAssist and achieved "lower TCO of customization changes" (quote from them).
4- The ST engine has over 600 library functions and hundreds of language features
even supports few undocumented, non-standard features to be downward compatible. We've also added lots of features in 8.0. Many of the early adopters used the engine to the maximum. For them, one single defect was usually a stopper because of the large/complex script code base.
5- Rework
Incompatibilities:
http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/B40099_02/books/eScript/eScript_JSLOverview4.html#wp1033924
Warnings: The T engine did not have warnings that usually resulted runtime failures. The ST engine
reports them at compile time so that you can fix them faster.

NEW FORUMS!!

Hello All,
We have today launched two additional forums for you. This will simplify and make it easier to access the information which would are looking for in a particular subject. We have also renamed the SAP Business One forum to SAP Business One Core and will begin moving relevant threads from this forum to the new forums in the coming weeks so please bear with us.
I would like to ask you all to pay particular attention to which forum you will post your questions as now more than ever there will be people with a particular expertise only looking to that forum; for example, people with expertise on DTW will only be looking in the SAP Business One - SAP Add-ons forum and so on.
I hope you will enjoy the new forums and that they will help you in your everyday tasks and activities. From SAP Business One Support side, we will continue to work on the forums to provide as many solutions to your questions as possible. Any feedback from the community is appreciated here.
The forums will look and operate as follows:
1. SAP Business One Core: This forum will deal with all matters related to AR/AP / Banking / Service / HR / MRP / Production / Financials / Sales opportunities. Existing content will be moved from this forum to the relevant forums in the coming weeks
2. SAP Business One System Administration: This forum will deal with all matters related to the system setup / installation / upgrades / updates / connectiviry / performance / crashes / configuration / system landscape etc. Content from the current SAP Business One Core will be moved here in coming weeks to already give a base of threads.
3. SAP Business One - SAP Add-ons: This forum will cover all SAP addons (Fixed Assets, Elster, Datev, Copy Express, DTW, Intrastat, Microsoft Outlook Integration, Format Definition, Bank Transaction Handling Facility, Payment Engine and Payment Engine - Cash & Bank) with the exception of XLR and Crystal Reports which will remain in the SAP Business One Reporting & Printing forum.
4. SAP Business One Reporting & Printing: This forum will continue to cover all matters related to printing / PLD / XLR / Crystal Reports / Queries / Formatted searches etc
Regards,
Paul

Thanks Paul for this Initiative.
So much as it is a help due to the categorization of the forums by subject. It might need a good amount of effort on the part of the moderators to make sure we have the right question in the right forums.
I have seen that members post questions to the wrong forums and having them understand the value and their role in keeping this clean is important.
Good luck

Welcome to our new forums!

Hey all,
We are very excited to announce the release of Edge Animate 1.0 and welcome to the community. During our Preview period we hosted our community discussions on http://forums.adobe.com/community/labs/edge/, which is now archived and read-only. We encourage you to continue your Edge Animate discussions, feedback, requests and bug reports here on our new forum.
To our new users, we hope you find this forum useful with feedback provided from both the core Animate team and valued community members. To our existing users, thank you for your invaluable contribution to Animate and for helping us shape the product you know today. We couldn't have done it without you.
Happy posting!
Sarah Hunt
Product Manager, Adobe Edge Animate

Animate Free is great news indeed A big thank to Adobe.
And even bigger thanks to those who made it all possible... huge kudos and thanks to all the ladies in the Adobe House (like Sarah and Elaine ^_^) and gents (Mark'n'Co!) who have been providing support 24/7 along with the whole Adobe Edge Team Wizards working their magic behind the scenes . Also thanks to the community members for being so helpful sharing their knowledge helping us dig each other out when one of us got stuck in a rut or found a major bump on the road.
I enjoyed being a little part of this evolution from preview 3 onwards as see how Edge now "Edge Animate" had grown into a more mature product. In a short time much has been accomplished and that's for sure an achievement to be proud of at all levels from the Adobe team all the way to those who blasted with requests and have been nagging Mark with unsolicited e-mail suggestions and feedback... yep, that'd be me and no I ain't done yet Mark since you haven't replied asking me to stop ! LOL
Either my emails have been auto-routed to trash, or you are listening in silence (judging to what happen between Preview 4~5 and 7). Those who may know what I sent over may be grinning proudly with a "we made it all the way down the laundry list... mostly" And I'd say yes you did... congrats for doing such a great job guys (and girls of course!)
Now I wouldn't want to quote "The Wolf" and repeat here what he said after Julius and Vince were done cleaning up the mess in the car at Jimmy's LOL ! So a mention should suffice for those who remember that scene and getting my drift, realize that despite this awesome achievement, there's still a lot to be done
It's an Edge, not a Peak... the Edge does not remain steadily in the same place and once conquered can be conquered all over again in the same way. An Edge is has a life of its own and is indeed "animated" as it keeps moving in various directions. So the the Wiz Team at Adobe have their job cut for themselves with all that will come in the future where the evolution will intevitably move towards making evem simpler and more intuitive the UI adding more interactive and powerful features to Edge Animate, while continuing to empower creatives across the globe by making the process from conceptualization to realization increasingly smoother, easier and painless via the intuitive Edge Animate workspace UI.
So once again thanks, kudos and much love to the entire community... and here is a toast to you all with the hope that we'll continue the journey in the same fun and fruitful direction that has led us here today.
Cheers!

New Forum FAQ

This is a work in progress and will be re-formatted soon into individual Question/Answers in an FAQ subforum.
Can I over write the forums style sheets to change the layout?
Yes, Please see this discussion of scripts that can help you change your view of the Forums: http://forums.adobe.com/thread/294008?tstart=30
How can I see the interface in Japanese, French, German, Spanish, or Simplified Chinese?
In order to see pages in these languages, you can click the Region links at the top of page (where it lists a country name and says “Change”), choose your region and language from the pop-up menu. Click on "Remember this choice" under the menu.
Why do some older messages appear with parentheses around user names?
For a three-month period before our new forums were launched, we encouraged users to go through an account migration process to associate their former User to User forum IDs with their Adobe ID. Accounts with the parentheses are from those users who had content in the old Adobe User to User Forums, but who have not yet signed into the new system. The parentheses were added to these account names so they could be imported into the new system without clashing with screen names associated with Adobe IDs.
Once a user logs in with that account in the new system the parentheses will go away.
How do I participate in the Adobe Online Forums via email?
Visit the forum you wish to participate in and click on the link to "Receive email notifications". You will start receiving new messages posted in that forum. You can reply to the messages directly from your email or you can click on a link in the message to come back to the forum.
Can I start a new discussion topic via email?
Yes. Once you have subscribed to a forum you can click on the “Your Stuff” link in the forums, click on “Mailing Lists” and find a "Create Discussion" email link for each forum you are subscribed to. Copy the full email address (it may wrap onto two lines) into your email client's address book and send new discussions to this address.
Can I include a file attachment via email?
You can include a file attachment in an email that starts a new forum discussion, but you cannot attach a file to an email reply to an existing discussion.
How do I stop receiving email notifications from the Adobe Forums?
To discontinue receiving thread subscription updates, you can change your personal settings in the web-based forums. To do this, login to the Adobe Forums by visiting http://forums.adobe.com/ and click on "Login".
Once you've logged in with your Adobe ID and password, click the menu item labeled "Your Stuff" and select "Profile". Select the "Email Notifications" tab, check the threads for which you would no longer like to receive subscription updates and click "Remove Selected Notifications."
How do I prevent myself from being automatically subscribed to threads I post messages in?
Go to the Your Stuff link in the User Bar, click on Preferences, and uncheck the to radio buttons for subscribing to threads you create and threads you reply to.
How do I embed an image or a video in a forum message?
When posting a message in the Forums there are two buttons in the Rich Text Editor to include a video or an image file in the message.
For video, click on the clapboard button/icon then select the video site and enter the Video URL or embed code and click Insert.
For an image, click on the camera button/icon then select the appropriate tab (From Your Computer, Uploaded Images, or From the web) and follow the onscreen instructions.
What if I want to link to an image on an external site, such as Pixentral or Flickr, instead of uploading the image to the Forum server?
Flickr's Terms of Service state that if you post an image hosted on Flickr on another site you have to link back to the image page on Flickr. To do that you need to go to your image on Flickr, click on the All Sizes link above the image, select the size image you want, then Copy the HTML code from the first box of code underneath the image. Then, in the Forum's Rich Text Editor, click on the >> button/icon and select Insert Raw HTML. This will open a frame within your message where you paste the HTML code you copied from the Flickr site. Then continue on with composing your forum message and click “Post Message” to post the message to the forum system.
For Pixentral images, you will need to go to http://www.pixentral.com and upload your image following the instructions there. You do NOT have to check the box to make images public. Once your image is uploaded there copy the HTML code from the box below your image. Then, in the Forum's Rich Text Editor, click on the >> button/icon and select Insert Raw HTML. This wil open a frame within your message where you paste the HTML code you copied from the Pixentral site. Please note that there is an extra "/" character in the Pixentral URL that will prevent the image from showing up, so you need to make one change to the HTML that you copied from the Pixentral site. The beginning of the HTML code will look something like this:
<a href="http:www.pixentral.com/show.php?picture=16xx5748rt9fhd"/>
Please remove the forward slash that appears between the quotes and the greater than symbol so that this part of the HTML code looks like this:
<a href="http:www.pixentral.com/show.php?picture=16xx5748rt9fhd">
Then continue on with composing your forum message and click “Post Message” to post the message to the forum system.
Can I attach a file to a forum message?
Yes. Each message in the Forums can have up to three files attached. Each file cannot exceed 5MB. These numbers are subject to change.
To attach a file, create a new forum message as usual and then click on the “Browse” button below the Rich Text Editor box to select a file from your computer.
Are forum messages presented in Threaded or Flat order?
The Forum messages can be presented in either Threaded or Flat order. This can be set in your forum Preferences. Click on the “Your Stuff” link and select “Preferences”. The first setting on that page is for how you want to see the messages.
In Flat mode, each message posted in the Forum will appear directly below and in line with the message posted before it. You will be able to view the discussion as if it were a live discussion with each person taking a turn in successive order.
In Threaded mode, each message will be posted below the message it is direct reply to and will be indented. This makes it easier to follow sidebar or sub-discussions, but can make it more difficult to follow a long conversation.
When you are reading messages in a forum, you can select to reply to the original message or to any of the replies to that original message.
How do I edit a message that I have posted in the Forum?
After you have posted a message you will find an “Edit” link at the bottom of the message. Click on the link to open the message editor and make your changes. The edit feature is good for fixing a typo or a link. But if you have extensive changes to make to your message we suggest that you post a new reply to your message instead of editing the original message. Editing is not available if someone has replied to your message. At that point, you have to add a new reply to the thread with the updated information.
How do I delete a message that I have posted in the Forum?
You can delete a message you have posted if there have been no replies. Once someone has replied the Delete option goes away.
How do I send a forum message to a friend?
While reading a message in the Forums, you can send a link to the discussion to someone outside the forum system by clicking on the "Send as email" link in the Actions panel. You can select user names from the system or email addresses of people outside the system and they will be sent a link to the forum. The actual message is not included in the email. The recipient will need to click on the link in the message to view the contents.
How do I report an abusive post in the Forums?
When viewing messages in the Forum you will find a "Report Abuse" link in the Actions panel on the right side for the original message and you will also find an individual “Report Abuse” link listed for each reply to the original message. Click on the link to send a report.
How do I upload an Avatar for my Forum account?
To upload a custom avatar for use in the Adobe Forums you must first create a 128x128 (max size) image file.
Then log into the Forums and click on “Your Stuff” and select “Profile”
Click on “Change avatar” in the Actions panel on the right side of the screen.
Scroll down to the “Upload Avatar” section and click “Browse” to find the avatar file on your system, then click “Upload”.
Once you avatar file is uploaded, it has to be approved by an administrator (this might take several hours to several days). Until it is approved it will be marked as "pending." Once the pending notification is gone, you can select that avatar and click “Save Settings”.
How do I upload an image for my profile page?
Log into the Forums and click on “Your Stuff” and select “Profile”.
Click on the “Edit Profile” link in the Actions panel on the right side of the screen.

Click on the “Your Stuff” and select “Private Messages” from the drop down menu.
From there, you will be able to read incoming messages, create new messages, and manage old messages.
You can also manage an Address Book and sort messages into folders.
Can I attach a file to a Private Message?
No. But you can include a link to an image or a video.
How many Private Messages can I have?
40 (subject to change)
Can I subscribe to a feed from the Forums?
Yes, you can get an RSS feed from various parts of the forums: Announcements, Discussions, and you can even subscribe to an individual user by going to their profile (click on their name or avatar any place in the forums) and getting the feed link from there. You can also get a feed of your private message inbox.
Some messages have odd linebreaks and random characters in them, such as lines that start with B or I that don't seem to make sense.
The Adobe Online Forums is a new system that has data imported from two previous systems. One of the previous systems had its own message formatting codes, such as B for Bold and I for Italic. These codes import into the new system as plain text and lead to the formatting issue that you might run across on old messages.
I marked a reply to my question as the correct answer, but then discovered that it was not correct. Can I remove the Marked as Answered setting?
No, you can only set this for one reply and it cannot be removed. Please post a follow up message in the discussion thread with updated information, such as a clarification or rebuttal to the marked answer.
I am not clear on the points system in the Forums. Will I get points for simply posting questions or replying to questions?
No. Points are not given for simply posting a question or a reply. Points are awarded by the person who started a discussion. They can mark a reply to their question as either The Answer or as Helpful. They can mark one “Correct” answer and two “Helpful” answers per discussion thread.
I've clicked to edit my profile and now I'm lost. I can't get back to the discussion I was viewing.
Use the History link in the user bar.
Is there an alternative to the Rich Text Editor?
Yes, if you are comfortable with some basic HTML, you can click on the “HTML” link in the upper right corner of the Full Editor to switch to an HTML editor. If you use the HTML editor you need to remember to put in <p> and <br> tags between paragraphs, otherwise the HTML editor will remove extraneous white space (including carriage returns) in your message.
How can I Jump the last message in a thread?
Click on the XX minutes ago link in the list of threads to go to the latest message instead of to the first message.
How do I change my name or screen name?
At the very top of the page, click on “Your account”. Under “Account Information”, click on the “Edit Your Account Information” link. Edit the desired information on this page and click “Update”.
How do I change my email address?
At the very top of the page, click on “Your account”. Under “Account Information”, click on the “Edit Your Account Information” link. Your Adobe ID/email is listed here, and you need to click on the “Change” button. Enter your email address, your password, and click “Update”. Note that your email address is also your Adobe ID which you use to login, so if you change your email address, you will also need to login using the new email address.
How do I change my password?
At the very top of the page, click on “Your account”. Under “Account Information”, click on the “Edit Your Account Information” link. Your password is displayed as a series of asterisks (*****). Click the “Change” button. You will need to enter your current password, your new password, and a password hint. Click on the “Update” button to save your changes.

@ adobe-admin (J.C.?):
Thanks for fixing the "backslash" error. Accuracy is important, and doubly so when presented as an F.A.Q.
The sad thing is how prevalent the usage of "backslash" is when a plain old slash is meant (generally, the "forward" attribute is assumed and unneeded), and by people who should know better. It's a direct result of people knowing just barely enough about the Windows file path naming protocols, and then applying the only terminology they're familiar with incorrectly to URLs.
I went about 10 rounds—TWICE!—with a labyrinthian succession of people at the Discovery & History cable TV networks because they were saying "backslash" in voice overs whenever their commercials promoted their websites. It took some doing, but I finally got in touch with somebody who was savvy enough to recognize that it was a rookie mistake made by a clueless marketing copywriter. The voice over person just read the copy they were given, oblivious to the difference. It amazes me that it wasn't caught by somebody early in the recording/production process and rectified.
They then had it correct for about a year, until new commercials started popping up with the same error. Unfortunately, the person I had talked to previously no longer worked for the History channel and I had to go through the process of finding someone who understood all over again.
Yeah, you can call me a nitpicker with nothing better to do.
But I've earned that dang badge, and I wear it proudly!

Location Service Problem! I Moved To A New House, and Used The Same Wifi, But My iPod Touch(4th Gen. iOS 6) Is Still Using My Old Location/Address and Not My New One, How Do I Fix This?

I Moved From New York To Florida, But Kept The Same WiFi/Router, But The Maps App and My iPod Touch(4th Gen. & iOS 6) Is Still Registering My Location In New York.

For location the iPod uses the location of nearby routers that are in Apple's database of routers and their location. Thus it appears that Apple's database is incorrect. You do not have to be connected to the router, just within range.
Apple periodically updates their database based on information they obtain from iPhones, The iPhone has to have turned on the option to send info to Apple. no one has found another way to get the location of a router added/corrected.
You can confirm that by going to well-know place with wifi like Starbucks or McDonalds

Moved to a new Mac - iTunes Media horro

Hi,
this drives me crazy: I moved to a new mac and can not get my iTunes to work.
iTunes just does not find my media files.
My old setup on a PowerMacG4 was:
folder iTunes with libraries in my home folder, but the music was on another volume
So inside the "iTunes Music Library.xml" (thats how it is named in the old iTunes) there is the entry
<key>Music Folder</key><string>file://localhost/Volumes/blabla/Musik/</string>
pointing to the folder on the volume where my media files are.
Every media file has an entry in the xml, where the key "Location" points to the exact folder the file is located, e.g.
<key>Location</key><string>file://localhost/Volumes/blabla/Musik/Alexandra/Die%2 0Legende%20einer%20Sa%CC%88ngerin/Mein%20Freund,%20der%20Baum.MP3</string>
I used "Migration Assistant" to move data from old disks to the new mac. Having connected the old volume blabla new iTunes found the files.
Having renamed the volume blabla iTunes still found the files and replaced all Location references. Magic?
So i copied all the media to my new mac to a new location and told iTunes (prefernece location of iTunes media) where my media files are.
Does not work. It still believes the file are on volume blabla. It never looks into te files copied to the new location!
Hmmm, so i looked inside the "iTunes Library.xml": The "Music Folder" is set correctly, but the files location points to the old volume.
Doing a replace for all locations in the xml doesn't work either, probably the itl-file holds the same information?
If i start iTunes again, it ovewrites all my changes made to the xml.
Not giving up yet, because I have read that if the itl is invalid, it gets rebuild from the xml i zap the itl and start itunes again. -> no more media files in the library.
I do not understand where iTunes stores its information, why there are two Library files (itl and xml) and which one is leading.
Please: how can i get itunes to recognize my media files.
This is the worst interface I've ever seen. I only want to move my media files and iTunes just does not let me do it :-(

The iTunes Library.itl file holds the key information. The .xml file is for third party support. If you have access to a working version of the library on the old machine then you can use the process in this thread to make your split library portable. Since the media has already been copied over you would then just need to copy the library files again while putting everything into the correct layout.
If that isn't possible it may be that you can trigger iTunes into fixing your broken links. Having set the media folder to the correct path in preferences, highlight a single broken tracks and attempt to Get Info. When iTunes complains the tracks is missing use the option to locate the track. iTunes should offer to attempt to fix other broken links based on the path to this one.

Well where is your library located now if not in the iTunes folder? See the links below on what your iTunes folder should look like and put it back together:
