Importing iTunes library from a Mac to PC--File name too long error.....

Hi...
Hope someone can help. Ive been forced to use a PC at work (Win7) and am trying to install my 84 gig library from my Macbook Pro to the PC. During the course of the import, i get an error stating that a file is too long, and then the whole process aborts....any suggestions?
thanks in advance!

  • How to import itunes library from a mac book pro to a new mac air?

    How do I go about accessing my itunes library from a new mac air?
    CD's and downloads were originally used to create my library on a mac book pro. Can I now access this on my new mac air?

    If there is space on the Air, you can use Migration Assistant to transfer the data. (Go into Applications/Utilities, and run Migration Assistant from there - it will tell you what options you have for data transfer). If you wish to keep both laptops, you might look at using iTunes Match, which will make all your music available on the Air but not necessarily download it.

  • Importing iTunes Library from Mac to PC

    I am going on extended travel and want to move my itunes library from my Mac Desktop to my PC Notebook. How do I transfer my library from the itunes MacOS environment to the PC Windows XP Pro environment?

    Welcome to discussions, new Mac convert! I've been a convert for about 7 months now & I think you will be very happy. Anyway, there are 2 database files associated with your library that contain all your ratings, playlists, counts, etc. that must be transferred also, so that you can recover everything. The following link explains about these 2 files, .xml & .itl, & they are contained within the iTunes folder. Hope this helps!

  • How can I do to transfer all iTunes library from my Mac book Pro to Time capsule without to lost the alphabetic sequence of songs

    How can I do to transfer all iTunes library from my Mac book Pro to Time capsule without to lost the alphabetic sequence of songs & artists? What is the correct way to transfer my 3000 songs to Time capsule, to free the memory of my Mac? Thanks a lot. Carlo Molinari (Rome - Italy)

    How can I do to transfer all iTunes library from my Mac book Pro to Time capsule without to lost the alphabetic sequence of songs & artists? What is the correct way to transfer my 3000 songs to Time capsule, to free the memory of my Mac?
    The following are the basic steps to transfer your iTunes Media folder from your MacBook Pro to the Time Capsule (TC). Note: You will leave the iTunes Library, and its associated files, on the MacBook Pro as you will only be moving the media files.
    Be sure to shutdown iTunes before starting.
    Next, move the "iTunes Music" folder, located in ~/Music/iTunes/, to wherever you want on your TC's internal hard drive. Remember to leave the Album Artwork folder, as well as the three individual library files where they are on the MacBook Pro.
    Wait a while. If you have a large library, this will take a bit of time.
    Once the iTunes Media folder has been transferred, open iTunes. Note: It will still be looking at your local iTunes Library on the MBP. As such it will think that the iTunes Media folder is still on the MBP as well. However, we just relocated it to the TC. If you attempt to select any song, you will get an error that the song is "missing." Not to worry, we will correct this in the next step.
    We need to tell iTunes the media has moved to the TC's internal HDD. To change where iTunes "looks" for the media, open iTunes and go to the Advanced > General tab and use the "Change..." button to tell it where your new "iTunes Music" library is located.
    Once this is done iTunes will likely pop up a progress window telling you that it's re-analyzing your library. Let it complete this step.
    As a final check to make sure everything when as planned, click on any library file from within iTunes and press cmd + i (or View > Get Info). At the bottom of the Summary tab in that window is a "Where:" section that tells you the actual file path to that piece of media; be sure that path begins with the name of your TC's drive, and not "Macintosh HD."

  • Import iTunes library from an external HD to a new Mac

    I just got a new macbook and am trying to import my itunes library from my external hard drive. I tried to just select my library on the external HD in the advanced tab, but my list of songs and ratings is not being imported into the software. I selected my xml file and my playlists showed up but not songs
    How do I accomplish this?
    Thanks,
    Jason

    I just ran into this, too, when my Mac Mini died. I assume you're taking the data (songs) off of your old hard drive? Maybe with an external enclosure wrapped around it? Here's what I did:
    1. Open your Mac's main hard disc, where your iTunes resides. (By "open" I mean "double click on.") 2. Open "Users". 3. Open your user name, whatever you sign into the computer with (if you don't know, it's NOT "Shared"). 4. Open the "Music" folder. 5. Open the "iTunes" folder. 6. Scoot this window off to one side of your screen, and go to your old hard disc, where your music is, and repeat steps 1 through 5. 7. Now drag all of the folders you see on your old hard disc's same window over to your new hard disc's open window. They should be: a folder labeled Album Artwork, iTunes Library, another folder labeled iTunes music (that's where your music is!), and iTunes Library.xml. You might also have additional things like "iTunes Music Library (2)" and a folder labeled Previous iTunes Libraries. Drag them over too! IMPORTANT: you'll get a message saying "This folder already contains a newer version..." etc. "...do you want to replace?" Of course you do! - you're filling up a newly formatted disc, right? Say "yes" each time. You'll know you got it right because it'll take a long time for the iTunes Music folder to copy over, since that's where all the data is. When you start up iTunes afterwards, all your settings should be exactly like they were before! Enjoy!

  • Importing iTunes library from old powerbook to new macbook pro

    What is the best way to import my old itunes library (from my 10.4.7 powerbook) to my new macbook pro?
    Thanks!

    I'm still having some trouble, can someone give me guidance? Here is what I did:
    1. Connected old mac (PowerBook G4) to new mac (MacBook Pro) via firewire 800 and target mode.
    2. Located "iTunes Music" folder on old Mac and pulled the entire folder into "iTunes Music" on the new Mac.
    3. I restarted.
    4. iTunes didn't find the new music, it does find the one song I've purchased using the new Mac. I think this makes sense, because now the folder structure has an embedded "iTunes Music" folder (from the old Mac) in my new mac's "iTunes Music" folder. The structure looks like:
    -iTunes Music
    ----[folder for the one song I've purchased on the new mac]
    ----iTunes Music (this is the folder from the old mac)
    ---------[folders of music from the old mac]
    5. So I went into the iTunes Music folder I just imported, selected all the music, and copied it one level up.
    6. The result is on my new mac, my "iTunes Music" folder now contains all the music from the old mac, plus the one song I've puchased using the new mac.
    7. I restarted my new mac. Restarted iTunes, but still the only song that's recognized is the one I've already purchased. The others aren't showing.
    8. I've gone into preferences/advanced and confirmed I'm pointing at the right target folder.
    Any thoughts on what I'm doing wrong here?

  • Importing iTunes Library from Older iBook to New iMac

    My old iBook (700 MHz G3) had a severe hard drive failure, but I did manage to transfer via firewire the entire MUSIC folder and the entire PICTURES folder, as well other data I needed.
    The question remains: How do I import the iTunes Library from the older iBook into the new iMac iTunes Library? As far as I can tell, I have to do it song by song. That can't be right.
    Any ideas?

    If you copied your entire itunes folder from your old mac you can copy it to your new mac. The key is the library (xml) file.
    http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=93732
    You need the library (xml) file also. When you open iTunes you might have to tell it where the xml file is.

    I used the same process to transfer the music library from my old mac to my new one.
    Hope this helps.
