My wife got a new computer...
I backed up her iTunes folder onto an external HD. I then put it in her computer under the My Music folder.
Then I installed iTunes. When iTunes first booted up it located all her stuff and it showed up when iTunes started. Unfortunately, I still had the external HD hooked up... so it put all that in there too! I ended up with everything duplicated.
I deleted it all. Unistalled iTunes and tried again. Thias time it didn't look for anything and itunes was empty.
Third try... The tunes were listed but with exclamation points in front of every song. itunes did not know where they were located and I would have to point every song to its location.... HELP!
I am losing my mind. I am gonna try again. Just put in the iTunes folder with just the music... none of the other files or cover folders etc... I may even put in a music folder under my documents (her new windows 7 has them My Music folder on its own and not inside My Docs...) and hopefully iTunes will search it out... after I reinstall of course.
