Importing a media folder AND Playlists

Hello
Purchase a used MBP and wanted to bring in my 60 gig folder of music from a firewire backup drive. At the time I put the 2 itunes folder into the new MBP hard drive before I had set up my new user account. When I try to drag the folder into the user MUSIC folder, the Mac says copying 60 gigs to music folder even before I open Itunes. When I open itunes there is no bpm or playcount or playlists even though I know they were in the firewire backup drive itunes folder. How do you bring in the playlists and bpm metadata?
Thanks so much
Enio

Hey there Enio!
I have an article here that I believe will help you troubleshoot this issue with moving your iTunes library:

  • HT4527 I want to move my music onto my computer, I have music stored on my laptop not in itunes, how do i put it into an itunes media folder and consolidate it without itunes?

    Basically I didnt have enough room to consolidate my itunes libary on my C drive, I moved them to my D, they then were no longer in my itunes libary, I moved them back but the songs are still no longer in my libary. This is not a major issue, the problem is getting all my music into a itunes media folder and then consolidating it without the use of iTunes.

    Copy the entire /Music/iTunes/ folder from old computer to /Music/ on new computer.
    Launch iTunes.
    That is all you need to do.

  • I have files in my iTunes media folder that somehow are not in my library. How do I get iTunes to scan my media folder and add missing files to my library without making a copy of each file in the same location?

    I have files in my iTunes media folder that somehow are not in my library. How do I get iTunes to scan my media folder and add missing files to my library without making a copy of each file in the same location? If I use add file / folder to library, it scans the folder and then makes a copy of any file that is not in my library in the exact same location; I recal in older versions of iTunes being able to just drag my media folder into my library and it would update missing links.

    Only the songs that are connected to iTunes will be copied when you consolidate to a new folder.
    Splitting the media folder away from the usual location makes it harder to move iTunes in the future.
    Are you go move everything back once you've tidied up or are you going to leave it that way? Either way I'd recommend you create an iTunes folder at the new location, an iTunes Media folder inside that, and consolidate to this new iTunes Media folder. You should also use the option File > LIbrary > Organize Library > Rearrange files in the folder "<Media Folder"> if you have not already done so.

  • What's the difference between the music in the iTunes Media folder and music folder

    I've noticed that the music in my iTunes folder has two copies -- one in the 'iTunes Media' directory and another copy in the 'iTUnes Music' directory.  Can anyone tell me what the difference is between the two, or what they're used for?  When I click on a music file in the Music folder, iTunes opens up and plays, but the same thing happens when I click on the file in the Media directory.  I have noticed that the file in the Media directory has the icon for the album cover next to the file name, while the icon for the file in the Music folder just has a couple of eight notes next to the file name. 
    It seems to me that it's a waste of space two have copies of the same file.  Or am I missing something?

    Here are typical layouts for the iTunes folders:
    If you have upgraded from version 8 (or earlier) to iTunes 9 (or later) at some point, then your media folder (everything inside the red outline) may still be called iTunes Music instead of iTunes Media. The extra Music folder inside the media folder is used if you have allowed iTunes to Upgrade to iTunes Media Organization (iTunes 9) or used File > Library > Organize Library > Reorganize files in the folder "<Media Folder>" (iTunes 10). Depending on your choices for Keep iTunes Media folder organized and Copy files to iTunes Media folder when adding to library plus a little bug in which one build changed the name of the file storing the choice of layout it is quite easy for some of your files to be organized according to one layout and some the other.
    In your case it seems you also have both media folders structures sitting side by side with music in each. It is probable that everything in iTunes Music has a duplicate in iTunes Media, but if you are not sure then you could add it all in, then remove duplicates. (Steps 6-12 below)
    Assuming you're happy letting iTunes organize your files the following steps should tidy things up:
    1. First make sure under Edit > Preferences > Advanced that the current media folder is given as .../iTunes/iTunes Media. If not then in the following steps you need to swap the words iTunes Music for iTunes Media and vice-versa
    2. Select File > Library > Organize Library... > Tick Reorganize files in the folder "iTunes Media" and click OK. Ignore this step if the option is greyed out.
    3. Select File > Library > Organize Library... > Tick Consolidate files and click OK. This will bring any files currently organised outside the designated media folder into it.
    4. Select Edit > Preferences > Advanced tab, uncheck Keep iTunes Media folder organized and click OK.
    5. Select Edit > Preferences > Advanced tab, check Keep iTunes Media folder organized and click OK. This triggers iTunes into reorganizing everything.
    6. Select Edit > Preferences > Advanced tab, uncheck Copy files to iTunes Media folder when adding to library and click OK.
    7. Use File > Add Folder to Library. Add iTunes Music. This may take some time.
    8. Hold down the option key and click File > Show Exact Duplicates.
    9. Sort the library on Date Added, select everything added today and delete it.
    10. Click Display All at the bottom of the screen to show all files again.
    11. Select File > Library > Organize Library... > Tick Consolidate files and click OK.
    12. You have now confirmed that everything inside iTunes Music must be a duplicate copy of something in the iTunes Media folder and made sure your library is connected to the copy in iTunes Media. Delete the iTunes Music folder...

  • How to copy only part of the music media folder and library to another Mac

    Dear friends,
    I run iTunes in Mac OS. The iTunes music media folder is now located in an external HD because it´s quite large (2T).

  • How do I get iTunes to scan my media folder and add missing files?

    Hi All!!
    I recently copied my iTunes library from my macbook to set up iTunes Server on my Sinology NAS. I did this by changing my iTunes Media Folder Location in the Advanced Settings tab, and then consolidating my library. I then changed my Media Folder Location back to my iTunes Media folder on my macbook to be able to play my local media.
    However, now my local iTunes thinks some of my library is on my server and doesn't see the local, original file. Whenever I disconnect from the server my iTunes does not locate my local media content (which was not changed or modified during the process). The only solution so far is to individually locate each song. Is there a better way of doing this? Is there a way to make iTunes scan my iTunes Music folder to find the song locations, without duplicating the songs in my library and deleting the play counts/ratings???
    I have already tried opening iTunes with the option key held, and selected my local iTunes media folder/library; however, I am still having the same problem
    Any help is GREATLY appreciated.
    Thank you!
    PiotrowskiM

    Hi Limnos,
    Thank you very much for your prompt response!!
    My goal, when I consolidated my files to my NAS, was to create a copy of my library on my NAS to be used for iTunes server, so I can stream the media to my PC's in my house. I did this following an instruction guide made by Synology. However, I did not intend for my macbook to stream media from the server. Ideally I would like for my iTunes in my macbook to just use my local files, which have not been changed/modified.
    In summary, is there any way to point my iTunes to ONLY my local files???
    Thank you again for all your help!

  • Whilst moving location of iTunes to external hard drive, I lost my iTunes Media folder and now it can't find my media files

    Whist moving my iTunes folder to an external hard drive, (I was following this post: http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1364) I seem to have accidentally deleted the itunes Media folder - I misread the last action point!
    All the files transferred to the external hard drive as I can see them and I am able to copy them into itunes, but only links, and they're still organised.
    Can anyone help me restore the folder structure so itunes can see the music?
    I added a new cd to itunes so I could see where it is now saving music and it created a new folder where the music now resides (I guess as a deleted the file structure from previous it needed to create a new one). I thought I would be able to copy and paste the old music into this newly created fold but it doesn't seem to have worked.
    Any advice on what I should do would be greatly received
    (I'm using windows vista)

    Stop with the whining.

  • I moved songs within my iTunes media folder and now my iPod can't find them

    Hello.  I have a few albums in my iTunes library that organize the artists by such folders as Artist feat. So-and-So.  This makes it difficult to scroll through artists on my iPod and in my car.  So I moved those songs that are in those folders to their corresponding album folder under the original artists' names.  Now when I try to sync my iPod it tells me that those songs cannot be found.  I completely restored my iPod and tried again after unchecking the following, but it still couldn't find the songs.
    Convert higher bit rate songs to X kbps AAC
    Keep iTunes Media folder organized
    Copy files to iTunes Media folder when adding to library
    Luckily I do still have the original CDs and can delete the albums then restore them, but I find this particular feature to be pretty ridiculous.
    Can anyone help?  Thanks in advance!

    The Macintosh has something called "file aliases" which allow you to move files from their original locations and applications that reference those files will still know how to find them. Windows does not have anything like that. It works off of full path / file names. So, when you moved your music folder and all your music in Windows Explorer, iTunes is still pointing to the old location.
    Here is the knowledge base article with the information on how to move your iTunes Music Library without these issues, <http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=305451>

  • Recovery from imported tape media fails and causes DPM management console to crash with ID: 917

    Hi.
    I have a newly installed DPM 2012 R2 on a Windows 2012 R2 with a standalone dedicated SQL server which is causing me a bit of a headache right now.
    I'm about to restore some files from an imported tape media, the tape is from our previous DPM server (DPM 2010). I have identified the media and cataloged it and i'm able to browse it to choose wich files to restore. But as soon as i try to
    finish up a restore job it causes the console to crash.
    My server is running just fine with backups and restores from i.e tapes that is backed up by this server - no problem there - but imported is not working.
    Below is the message from console when it crashes.
    Connection to the DPM service has been lost.
    Review the application event log for information about a possible service shutdown. Verify that the following services are not disabled:
                DPM
                DPM Replication Agent
                SQLAgent$MSSQLSERVER
                MSSQL$MSSQLSERVER
                Virtual Disk Service
                Volume Shadow Copy
    ID: 917
    Any ideas?

  • All songs got exclamation marks next to them after organizing media folder and consolidating

    I don't know what to do anymore. After hours of moving things around in my media folder with all my songs in it and then consolidating (which is what I thought I was supposed to do, nearly all of my songs now have "!" marks next to them and I fear that I lost all my music.
    Does anybody have any idea what I can do?

    Hi there, moving your files about manually tends to get iTunes confused. I have written some scripts which have previously had some success in finding things for some people, while being no help for others. It all depends on how disimilar the structure you've created is from the standard one.
    Coincidentally I've been revisiting this topic today and I've uploaded a new script called FindTracks which I'm hoping may do a better job than my previous script for the task. Currently it can make a good stab at finding tracks in both the "new" (iTunes 9 or later) or "old" layouts of the media media folder, misfiled as a compilation or vice-versa, with or without track or disc numbers and when the folder names may have been truncated. I've also got ideas to extend it with a fuzzy matching mechanism to cope better if/when files have been reoganised by say Windows Media Player which generally uses longer file & folder names and has different substitution rules for characters that can't be used in file & folder names.
    If you're interested in the script, download it and test it out on a few tracks first. Yse the No option to manually confirm each path that it wants to fix until you're sure it behaves as you want it to. If it can't find your tracks I'd be grateful if you can give me some an example locations so I can tweak up the script to make it work better.

  • Can I import an entire folder and sub-folders at once?

    I am fairly new to LR and have TONS of files in a main Photo folder on Vista.  Some of these files have duplicate names, some were taken with very early gen digital camera as well as newer files with my 40D. But importing each folder and sub folder 1 at a time is going to take a million years.  Here is basically what I want to do.
    1) Import ALL pics (probably about 6-8 thousand) at once
    2) Go through these photos and tag them as well as get rid of the obviously crappy pics that i will never do anything with, kill the dupes
    3) Meta tag as many as i can
    4) export to a new foler
    All files are jpg.  Nice memorial day project eh?

    I would make some suggestions to your proposed workflow.
    Instead of "3) Meta tag as many as i can", I would say assign keywords and captions on all of your photos. Keywords and captions are a very powerful way of organizing, and when well done, they make finding your photos extremely easy. I understand that this takes time and effort, but you will find that the time and effort you put into this pays off well.
    If you leave some photos without keywords and captions, how will you find them? I know how ... you will search for 30 minutes and probably say some four-letter words in the process.
    Instead of "4) export to a new foler[sic]", don't bother exporting as a regular part of your workflow. Just don't do it! Only export when you need the photos outside of Lightroom, such as for e-mail or uploading or printing at a commercial printer. Otherwise, there is no need for you to take up the disk space with thousands of exported .jpgs.

  • Can I--should I--combine the newer iTunes Media folder--new since 10.5.1--and the older iTunes Music folder? I just realized all my new songs are going into the Media folder, and I kind of like the simplicity of everything being in one, not two, folders.

    Most of my music--the VAST majority--is in iTunes Music, but all the new songs are going into iTunes Media, which is new, I think, since 10.5.1.

    The missing file thing happens if the file is no longer where iTunes expects to find it. Possible causes are that you or some third party tool has moved, renamed or deleted the file, or that the drive it lives on has had a change of drive letter. It is also possible that iTunes has changed from expecting the files to be in the pre-iTunes 9 layout to post-iTunes 9 layout,or vice-versa, and so is looking in slightly the wrong place.
    At guess you've used a different profile name. Files inside the media folder have survied the transfer, but those outside are expected to be on the same absolute file paths, but no longer are.
    Select a track with an exclamation mark, use Ctrl-I to get info, then cancel when asked to try to locate the track. Look on the summary tab for the location that iTunes thinks the file should be. Now take a look around your hard drive(s). Hopefully you can locate the track in question. If a section of your library has simply been moved, or a drive letter has changed, it should be possible to reverse the actions.
    Alternatively, as long as you can find a location holding the missing files, then you should be able to use my FindTracks script to reconnect them to iTunes.

  • ITunes doesn't/slowly add music to libary (can't find it by artist or album), but does add it to iTunes folder and playlists

    When I drag and drop music to my iTunes, it starts copying files to the iTunes folder. Afterwards it scan's for loudness and artwork. That's all correct.
    But after this I can't find the music in my Library, while it is resulted as search results. Also the songs are in different playlists (newly added and never played).
    Only after about 45 min-1 hour the files áre in my library, without me doing or changing anything...
    I use iTunes 11, never had this problem with iTunes 10.
    Someone got any suggestions? Restarting iTunes won't work...
