Hi all -
I backed up my ITunes library by simply copying my ITunes folder to an external hard drive. I wanted to erase my hard drive and start fresh. When I installed ITunes on my new computer and replaced the empty ITunes folder with the one from my external hard drive, I found that when I opened ITunes, all the songs I had were from 2011 and prior. I noticed that for some reason there were two folders within ITunes - ITunes Media and ITunes Music. ITunes Media had everything else post 2011. What fun.
So I figured I would simply copy everything from ITunes Media and put it into ITunes Music and re-open ITunes and it would all be there. Not so much. For some reason it does not pull the new stuff up. .
Also there are other frustrations such as all my playlists are from 2011 and those I dont know how to merge either.
I am reading about third party software that will "reverse sync" from my ITouch. That is what I am thinking about doing since I synched my ITouch right before I did all this and it has everything I wanted.
Any input would be appreciated since I am very frustrated.
Thanks!
