New iMac & Blown iTunes Library

Hey All... boy I sure hope someone can help me.
So for the last few years I've been running the latest version of iTunes on my Powerbook. But my library has gotten pretty large. I just bought a new iMac, and this morning I copied my iTunes Library folder over to my new iMac. I really wanted to retain my play counts and ratings. Pretty smooth, no problems, so I deleted it off my Powerbook. I saw all my music & TV shows in my library as they should be. Later this evening I tried to start up iTunes, and it gave me an error message that said it was looking for the .xml file for my library, and then said it was "organizing" my library. Then it tells me that my file is damaged. When it finally opens, about half my stuff is missing.
Right now I'm trying to restore my backup to my Powerbook to get my full library back. Where did I go wrong? What should I have done? How did my library work fine, and then wind up damaged? Any help is desperately appreciated.
Hayley

If you choose syncing/change library instead of 'connect to new library', you should preserve the files on the tv.

New iMac, same iTunes library possible?

I'm in the process of buying a brand new iMac for myself, instead of using the family iMac all the time. I'd like to have the same iTunes library, and preferably a copy on my hard drive. Will iTunes Home Sharing do this, or will I have to do this in some other way? I'm aware of Migration Assistant, but I believe that it only moves files and applications, it doesn't copy them.
Thanks in advance,

to an extent, yes. home sharing will not bring playcounts and ratings over. also, unless you have embedded artwork manually in the files, it won't copy.
or will I have to do this in some other way?
the simplest way would be to connect the two Macs with a firewire cable, boot the source Mac in _*Target Disk Mode*_, and copy the entire iTunes folder (not just the iTunes music folder) from <MacintoshHD>/users/<yourname>/music on the source (family Mac) to <MacintoshHD>/users/<yourname>/music on the new Mac (overwriting the iTunes folder in place there).

How can I remove songs purchased from my iPhone while retaining the music in my iMac's iTunes library?

I have an iPhone 4S (iOS 6.1.3) and have puchased an album from iTunes using only the iPhone. I have since synchronized the album with my iTunes library on my iMac (OS 10.8.3). I no longer want to have this particular album on my iPhone, yet I do want to retain it for my iMac's iTunes library. I've tried deleting the album directly on my iPhone and then synchronizing it with a new iPhone playlist which no longer includes that album. This unwanted album on my iPhone keeps showing up even though the songs specificed for my iPhone playlist don't include that music. I'd be grateful for any help. Thanks in advance.

1) in the main panel of iTunes - make sure Only sync checked music (or something like that) is checked
2) in the Music pane of iTunes - uncheck the songs you dont want on the phone - or check only the songs you do want on the phone if nothing is already checked
3) sync your phone - the music you no longer want on the phone should be removed but still exist on your iMac

I have a new iMac running iTunes 10.4 in OS 10.6.8, and a new Mac Air running iTunes 10.4 in Lion. I was able to transfer all my music etc. from the iMac onto the Air, but cannot figure out how to get the Playlists from the iMac to the Air. iTunes Help

I have a new iMac running iTunes 10.4 in OS 10.6.8, and a new Mac Air running iTunes 10.4 in Lion. I was able to transfer all my music etc. from the iMac onto the Air, but cannot figure out how to get the Playlists from the iMac to the Air. iTunes Help says File >Library >Export playlist and choose XML, or to save a copy of all your playlists, File > Library > Export Library, "the Exported info is saved in XML format." Then it says, "to import an iTunes playlist, File > Library > Import Playlist". Now I am assuming I do that import part on the Air, but when I try it doesn't recognize anything that can be imported - what am I missing??? Aside from a clue...

Thanks, Jim, for taking the time, but the reply is unfortunately vague in the exact area of my confusion! "you need to copy that file to your new computer..." Well, the Import/Export instructions make it seem as if the two computers should be able to communicate this file thru wifi, but that's the linkage I can't seem tocreate with Import/Export. Should I instead email a copy to myself (thats what applecare suggested)? Copy it to and from a thumb drive? But then place the file where? And the article was helpful, but should I be trying to move the Library file or the Library.xml file (as iTunes Help suggests)? Sorry to be so clueless about it...I suppose I buy Apple in the hopes of not having to think about this stuff, which approach seems not to be serving me well. Thanks again for your time!

Some videos not showing up on AppleTV from iMac's iTunes library

Having a strange problem. Not sure if it is an iTunes problem or an AppleTV problem but I will try here first.
I have several videos in my library, some of which are digitized home videos I edited/rendered, others are AppleTV converted DVD's I own. For some reason, many of them are not showing up on my AppleTV when I go into "Computers" off the main menu and select my iMac with the iTunes library of them. Some show up, but more and more do not. They are all properly formatted and done so using Compressor settings for AppleTV. No idea why some are not showing up.
If you look on the iMac with the library on it, they all show up fine. And if I try and play the video on my iMac but tell it to use AirPlay to play the video on the AppleTV, it plays just fine on the TV/AppleTV. I do have Home Sharing turned on for ALL my media and I also use iTunes Match service.
When I try and use my iPad to access videos under the "shared" option and select my iMac's iTunes library, I get the same incomplete list. So I am thinking it's the iTunes library that's sending out an incomplete list for some reason. No idea why.
I have tried drag-and-dropping the videos into the iTunes library as well as using the "Add to library" menu command, neither makes a difference.
Any suggestions?
Thanks.

Also - i had a similar issue - lots of movies in itunes - not showing up as selectable on apple tv - i found that you have to go to "list" in itunes and select any movies i wanted to be selectable when i switched to the apple tv device - can someone please create a word for - "my software changes and somehow i'm an idiot for not knowing what magic the programmers are throwing down" - this too will change in the future - just need the happy customer service types to maintain a voice with the programmers and bottom line guys and gals.

I live in a home with two other people, and one housemate tried to sync up his content from iTunes and iCloud onto another housemate's new iPad. the iTunes library only contains my content. is there any way to retrieve the there person's iCloud?

Can they go out of my account? Their content is saved on their iPads, but can another iCloud be on the same home computer?

The syncing of music is one way, computer to phone. See this helpful document from a fellow user. Credit goes to the author.

You don't need to delete anything from your phone or you old computer.
Copy the entire /Music/iTunes/ folder from old computer or backup to /Music/ on new computer.
If you cannot use the old computer or don't have a backup...
-> Recovering your iTunes library from your iPod or iOS device
Then immediately make a backup of your new computer.
Get an external drive and plug it in and use -> Time Machine

Transferring iTunes 6 Library to new iMac with iTunes 7

This is probably very easy. But, I wanted to make sure it would work before I start moving things around, etc.
I upgraded to a new iMac recently and I would like to use my old iTunes library (on an external firewire HD) in iTunes 7. Basically, I'd like to keep all of my music on the external HD and use it solely as an iTunes drive like i did with my old G4. So, I would go under Preferences and tell iTunes to look on the external HD for all of the music files. And, in order to get all of my playlists, ratings, etc. back, I would need to copy my old iTunes Library xml file over into my new Music folder, replacing the existing one. Right?
Here is my question...I was still using iTunes 6 on my old G4 because it didn't handle 7 very well. So, my old iTunes library xml files are iTunes 6 files. Will iTunes 7 be able to recognize an iTunes 6 xml file? Will it simply prompt me to upgrade it to a shiny new iTunes 7 file?

Cool! Thank you so much for the quick response.
So, just to be clear, what I will need to do is...
1. open iTunes.
2. under preferences redirect it to the music folder on my external drive.
3. Close iTunes.
4. drag my old xml file into the iTunes folder on the iMac (it will ask me if I want to replace the existing...i say yes...)
5. Open iTunes and all of my old playlists, etc. should be there.
Is that correct?

I have a itunes 11, iMac, iPad sync issue... all new kit, the itunes library and photos are on a networrk drive but syncing is useless, no music, no photos, no video, sometimes music and videos may be visible but greyed out on the ipad....

This is my first posting so sorry for the messy title... I didn't realise how it all worked here.
I have a shiny new imac, shiny new ipad and have all my media on a network hard drive - itunes works fine on the mac - no problems - photos visible in finder and photoshop - no problems, but when I come to sync the new ipad - several things may happen (I have tried many times now)
1) a long wait - whirly gig round spinner thing - then music visible on the ipad but greyed out and useless
2) no photos at all synced
3) no videos synced
4) info syncs ok
5) apps seem to have synced OK
It is not a data size issue as the same amount of data synced before the new kit from my old windows pc on to an iPod - I daren't try syncing the ipod as I need it for my next business trip.
I tried removing the ipod cache files for the photos - no difference - I tried restoring the ipad - no difference
Have I completely wasted a large amount of money?

ps when syncing it jumps through steps 1 - 4 real fast, i seem to remeber iphone showing the number of tracks transferring and names, but i see nothing? then it sits on 5 saying "waiting for changes to be applied"

Old imac hard drive crashed... how to put ipod tunes into new imac's itunes

I'm sure this is something that's been revisited a number of times already... My "old" imac (2 years old -- yes I'm ****** but let's not go there) hard drive ceased living. I literally lost everything (had all data backed up, whew!).
Anyway, how can I put my itunes library, which is on my ipod, onto my new itunes on my new imac?
Thanks in advance for your help, Craig

You can't do this using regular Apple software (it's designed to work in one direction only). However if you Google "transfer from ipod to itunes" several helpful links come up with utilities you can download to do this.
But if you have protected music on your iPod, do remember to "authorise"" your new HD first.

Two users on iMac, one iTunes library

My husband and I set up ourselves as separate users on our iMac. We use the same Apple ID (his) for iTunes.
I was able to transfer our iTunes library from our old PC onto our iMac and into my user side, but my husband cannot see our iTunes library on his user side.
1. How do we share the iTunes library so that both users can see and use it?
2. If #1 is possible, will future purchases from iTunes show up in both user libraries?
Thank you.

There's really no "good" way to have two accounts using the same physical library. The only fully tranparent way would be to make two separate copies, and turn on auto-download on both (even this might have problems). I assume you don't want to do this.
One kinda, sorta solution would be for you to leave your account logged in and turn on Home Sharing. He would then be able to see all the content. If you had auto download turned on, any purchases he made would be downloaded to your account, but would also be in his (although he could remove them).
Otherwise...
1. Make sure your permissions are set so you husband can see your directory on the computer (let me know if you need instructions on how to do this). From your husband's account, start iTunes and go to iTunes->Preferences->Advanced and DESELECT the "Copy files..." option. Then from the Finder, navigate from his account to yours- usually under Macintosh HD/Users/(your name). Navigate down to Music and drag the iTunes subfolder into the Library area of his iTunes. Your entire library will now show up in his Library, but the files will remain physically in yours.
2. There's no good way to do this. If you purchase new music, he will have to drag it into his library for it to appear.

Migration Assistant problem? : New iMac's iTunes doesn't see the catalog or playlist of my old Mac's songs on an external drive

So I just migrated from a 10.7.5 iMac 27" from 2009 to 10.9.4 on a 2013 27" iMac with Fusion Drive.
I don't use Time Machine. There are no backups involved here.
Used Ethernet. Only took 20 hours... (BTW, it stayed on "less than 1 minute left" for like 12 hours but luckily I was away and just left it going in hopes it would work... and it did!)
Anyway, back on my OLD iMac, I kept all of my songs on an external drive because my internal drive was too small. So iTunes looked at that drive for the music it was playing. I turned that drive off, even disconnected it, during the migration process because I thought it was confusing it during the first attempt which took 10 hours and nothing happened.
So now it worked, finally. On my new iMac, running Mavericks, I now have two user accounts... the one that was set up when I started the computer the first time, and the new one that transferred over via Migration Assistant. No problem. I can live with that. The only thing is, I would still think the old XML files and library stuff would migrate over... but iTunes doesn't see it. When I open up iTunes, in *either* account, iTunes behaves as if it's brand new. Repeat: the old and new account on the new iMac, both, do not see an old iTunes library which IS on the old iMac. Only the music is on the external drive from what I understand.
I've done this before so I know it's possible. I remember upgrading a long time ago and got iTunes to see my old library... even though some of the music was no longer there. It just puts "!" marks wherever there is no link. I was hoping that that's what I would find when I launched iTunes, but no luck. Even connecting the old hard drive to the new Mac (via USB) doesn't make iTunes all of a sudden "see" the old library. That data doesn't seem to be there. It didn't transfer over. Did it not transfer over because the songs weren't on the internal volume? Should I have left my external hard drive on?
So.... now that I've spent almost 3 days total trying to get this to work, and everything is running... I don't want to have to start over in order to get iTunes to work. Is there a way I can just drag over some XML files or something from the old computer? I don't want to lose all of the ratings and personal notes and everything.
I should add also that I have like only four songs I've ever actually bought through iTunes. I'm still a bit old fashioned and buy CDs and rip them to Apple Lossless. So I hope it's not an authorization / reauthorization issue because I have like 1400 albums ripped.
Thanks in advance for any help.

iTunes does not use the .xml it uses the .itl
If you are sure your old library file migrated across (does the file size and modification dates suggest it has?) start iTunes while holding down the option/alt key and guide it to the .itl file to get it to use that one.

New iMac but iTunes shuts down when I download or add "purchased" videos.

I just bought a new iMac, first I went to an Apple store and inquired that my main use would be with iTunes. I began to transfer songs from my iPod to the Mac using the Senuti file. The major problem is that I am forced to manually add the songs and videos to my library, but whenever theres an attempt to add any videos that I have purchased iTunes shuts its application, forcing me to reopen it only the find the video is not added. I did a test by purchasing a new video and I can see the download completing, but when it does the final part, again itunes shuts down and I've lost the video. Someone sent me a video gift and I was unable to download the video and the itunes store indicates that I have already spent the download, but its not in my library? I don't know what the problem is.

First, I'd suggest you make sure that your iMac has the latest updates: Mac OS X 10.4.9, QuickTime 7.1.6, and iTunes 7.1.1. If it doesn't, update and see if that improves things.
If not, Senuti may have created a corrupt iTunes library. You may need to delete the iTunes library files and add your tracks and videos again (and for any that haven't transferred from your iPod, you may wish to try a different transfer utility).
Hope this helps.

Two Accounts, one iMac, one iTunes Library

I'm sure this should be easy, but it's beating me !
I've recently bought a new iMac and am giving my old iMac G4 to my son. I've now set up two accounts on the old system, the orginal one for me as an administrator, and a new one for him. However, the iTunes and iPhoto libraries are still under my account.
I simply want to allow iTunes and iPhoto on his account to see the same libraries.
When in his account, I've tried changing the music folder location in preferences to look at HD/users/myaccount, but everything has a red minus symbol next to it, so is unaccessible.
I've tried clicking on all the shared options I can, but to no avail.
What am I missing ?
Thanks

Is there a way to do this without having to add the songs multiple times anytime someone changes their library?
Sorry but no, not really. iTunes has no "folder watching" feature; you have to manually add tracks that get added directly to a folder. You might take a look through Doug's AppleScripts for iTunes; there might be a script there that would make the process easier, if only by identifying tracks that are in the folder but not in your iTunes listing.

Migrated from PowerMac to iMac but iTunes library did not come over

How do I get my iTunes Library over from my PowerMac to my iMac?

Is it only the iTunes library that didn't transfer? It is possible that it transferred but into a new account.
When you run a migration it will transfer even the user accounts.
So go to  menu -> System Preferences -> Accounts and check how many accounts you have there. If you only have the one (your current one) then you can run the transfer again, or just transfer the Music library with FireWire, ethernet or airport (or a USB stick etc)
If there is another account there, then logout of the one you are in, and login to the other account to see if things are as they should be
Cheers
