Quick answer as to how this should have been done if you let iTunes manage your music: Copy the entire iTunes folder (and in doing so all its subfolders and files) intact to the other drive.

ITunes: How to move your music to a new computer. You have to let iTunes do the moving, not you (with the exception of moving the whole iTunes collection as one complete folder). It is particularly bad at doing this when moving from one drive to another. iTunes is bad at keeping tracks of files when you drag them from place to place unless you move the whole iTunes folder and all its contents in doing a library move (the correct way to move libraries). You have not provided details on the exact steps you did in 'moving the library' but likely the l file is still looking for media on the external but now that you moved them from there (I assume you deleted the files on the external) it cannot find them. The rest of your library (the all-controlling l file, the artwork folder, various other less important files) were still on your internal drive and controlling iTunes from there. That is where you have told iTunes to store just media. Any help would be appreciated.Īctually that is not where your library is located. So I'm confused as to why iTunes isn't looking for it there.Īny suggestions? I really would rather not go in song by song to locate each song. The location stated above is also the location where all of my music is. This is where my iTunes library is located: My entire library (other than the songs I have gone in and found individually) are marked with an exclamation point. (Which is no big deal for one song, but for over 3300 songs? Doesn't sound like a good time.) I then have to go into my files and find the song. However, today when I moved my iTunes library from my external (temporary) hard drive to my new internal hard drive I came upon a problem.Įvery time I double click on a song it says: I cloned my old internal hard drive and the transition was relatively smooth. I recently installed my new internal hard drive.

I needed to upgrade my internal hard drive but until I did that I wanted to be able to add more music or movies etc. However, it solved itself somehow when I sent it to locate the files.) It was a temporary fix. (I did have this same problem described below in the beginning. I recently moved my iTunes library from my internal hard drive to an external hard drive. Please forgive me if I missed the answer some where along the way.

However, none of them are speaking directly to what I am trying to accomplish. I've been reading dozens of different questions and answers on this forum in regards to this topic.
