Hi all,
My father called me tonight with some confusion and since I haven't used Windows regularly in about 4 years, I can't seem to think of a way to answer his question.
He was moving music from his one iTunes library to my mother's library (same computer, different accounts). He thought he could copy and paste them from his library onto a flash drive, then log out and into my mother's account, and paste them into her library. He did this by using the Edit>Paste function from the iTunes menu bar in her library. When he tried to sync or play the files, they showed the exclamation point, indicating that the original files could not be located.
Here's my question: Where are the files? They're not anywhere in the iTunes folder from what I can tell. If they're nowhere because of the method he used to move this music, what should I suggest as the best way to perform this task in an efficient manner?
Thanks everyone.
Best,
Taylor
