The Mac (+ Apple) Thread Redux - Tips, Q&A 'n' Things You Need To Know

hopefully someone can help with this iTunes one.....

just reformatted, kept all files/iTunes library etc. However any track i attempt to play now, it says it can;t locate the original file, would you like to locate it?

I thought if i still had the itunes library, and dragged it across, it would pick it up?

The directory names might have changed during your reformat. Did you name your PC something different to before? If so, that would have resulted in the C:/Users/(insert computer name)/Music/iTunes/ directory being different to what you had backed up.

I think iTunes has some kind of "find missing files" command in there as well. Not sure if you can do it en masse though.

think I found how to do it. Fingers crossed


ok yup - it found 10,000 out of 11,000 tunes. Nice
