Hey, I am new to the Mac Forums
So I have just purchased a new MacBook Pro 13" and I love it so far. But I am having a problem with iTunes.
When I made my own iTunes library I made it on a Windows OS, which isn't a problem but the majority of the songs added were from various folders across my Windows HD. These files were not copied to the iTunes music folder.
So when I got my Mac I used a program on my PC called Synkron to sync all of my files to my Mac including my iTunes folder like it should to make it so all of my computers are identical.
Because it has synchronized all of my iTunes folder I can see my library on my Mac exactly the same as the Windows library - Normal
But when I go to my Mac and play a song which was imported from another folder on my hard disk to the iTunes library my Mac can't locate the file - and there's over 800 of these so I can't quite locate each one individually.
It only plays my CD's that I have imported because I imported them with iTunes therefore making them being copied over to my iTunes music folder. This is not the case with the other files because they aren't in the iTunes folder.
I think this is because Windows has a different hard disk directory than the Mac.
So I have tried copying these files to my iTunes folder but that doesn't work (It still says I need to locate them)
Yes - The files that won't play in iTunes ARE copied over to my Mac's HD so I can locate the files and they work fine but that will take forever
So I need a permanent fix so that I can still sync my computers with Synkron without this problem occuring again.
I hope at least one of you understands this problem and has a solution.
