[QUOTE="kathie1404, post: 1481611, member: 287838"] [b]transferring itunes library to new macbook pro[/b] I have just bought my first macbook after using windows 7. I backed up itunes library to external hardrive and transferred to the itunes folder in my music folder on the mac. When I try to import it in using the option key when opening itunes, it comes up choose library, but when I choose the itunes library (.xml file, is this right?') nothing imports. The files in the itunes folder include - ituneslibrary.itl ituneslibrary.xml itunesmusiclibrary.xml and another folder previous itunes libraries which contains this file ituneslibrary 2012-12-27.itl It's a large library 106gb. Checked the hardrive which is 500gb and now only 250gb is free, so there's something in there but why isn't it showing? There's an itunes media folder in there but that's empty, is this right? I think I might be best starting from scratch and importing again. Can I just delete the whole of the itunes folder on the mac and back up and import again? Any help or advice appreciated. Thanks in advance [/QUOTE]
