How can I restore backup iTunes library?

I have a Macbook Pro that I just reimagee with Yosemite.  I copied the folder iTunes backup to the new image (60 GB) but the only thing that sees iTunes's songs, movies, etc. that I bought on the iTunes store.  What should I do to restore my entire library and playlists?

Did you put it back exactly in the same place with the default name?  If this isn't the case, hold down the option/ALT key at startup of iTunes and select the .itl file in the iTunes folder.

  • How can I get my iTunes library is displayed on my new Macbook Pro?

    I have a new macbook pro. my old macbook crashed. I try to access my iTunes library to my new computer and am not succeed. I have "authorized" this computer, but it does not appear on my list "manage devices" in iTunes. Any suggestions?

    Hi KathShan,

    I understand that you have a problem with access to your music on your MacBook Pro. Let's see if we can get this sorted out.

    If you use Apple iTunes game or music, then you will need to make sure you have iCloud active library. I opened iTunes preferences and on the general tab, you should see iCloud music library and make sure that it is checked. After that, your library will appear.

    Take a look at the article below, but also a screenshot to preferences iTunes for more details.

    If you use any music from Apple or iTunes game, then you will only be able to download your past purchases. If you can somehow have access to your old iTunes library, you can transfer them to your new Mac. Take a look at two articles that talk about this.

  • How can I move my iTunes Library to External Hard Drive?

    I googled cela but can't seem to find what I'm looking for...

    I want to leave my iTunes library in all my Windows PC for a hard drive external and I want to keep it there because it does not fit on my new Macbook Air. I'm happy to plug every time that I would use my iTunes library.

    I found the instructions step by step online, but I would like to know what happens if you never had the option "Copy files to iTunes Media folder when adding to library" checked. This way only future additions will be copied in my folder or it will copy all my previous music? I took a peek in the folder and my latest addition isn't here so I guess that it copies only future additions to the library. Is this correct?

    If so, how to get all my music in one folder so I can copy it to my hard drive? (Yes, I confess that my music seems to be scattered in my PC)

  • How can I keep my iTunes library to a new installation of iTunes?

    Hello

    I got a new SSD and re-installed Windows 7 and all my software, including iTunes.

    I have my iTunes Library (iTunes Media folder) on a data reader and now I reinstalled iTunes and I want to keep the old library, so in the preferences, I put my iTunes library to the path leading to my old iTunes library, but the music still does not appear in iTunes. The only music that shows it's the music purchased from the iTunes store, but no CD-imports are shown.

    I hope someone can help me with this,

    Thanks in advance!

    Lars

    If you have the iTunes database files, launch iTunes with the SHIFT key pressed and select the library that contain. If you can't seem to them, made the iTunes Media folder inside the application window open iTunes or automatically add to iTunes folder; all the old library metadata that are lost.
