I'm evaluating Leopard. I've installed it on an external HD and boot from
it.
The internal HD has Tiger installed (10.4.10) and most of my files,
including
my iTunes library. When I run iTunes (under Leopard) the library is empty
but
for one MP3 file. When I Get Info on the file, I see it's located in the
iTunes folder on the external (Leopard boot) HD.
Next, I specified in iTunes' Preferences (Preferences>Advanced>General)
the
location of my old iTunes library on my internal HD (~/Music/iTunes). (I
also
enabled "Keep iTunes Music folder organized" and "Copy files to iTunes
Music
folder when adding to library" options.) But this does not result in my
hundreds of files showing up in iTunes: just the one MP3 file shows up.
I've
rebooted, but no joy.
I read the instructions in this Apple note:
<http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=301748>
which says to create a new iTunes folder and consolidate the 2 folders.
After
following the instructions to create a new folder and consolidate, I get a
new folder with the one MP3 file. (I think the problem with this method is
that the instructions presume that you already have your music in the boot
disk's iTunes folder and that you want to move it to another location.
This
is actually opposite my goal.)
My music is on the internal HD, not the boot drive, and the iTunes Music
folder location (specified in Preferences) is pointing my music folder's
location on the internal drive. How can I (and is it possible to) get
iTunes
to recognize this folder and give me access to my music files?
OS X 10.5.1
iTunes 7.6
