Update iTunes library of Snow Leopard in El Capitan

Hello everyone

I have a new iMac running El Capitan (iTunes 12.3) that I want to update an iTunes library from my old Mac that took place from Snow leopard. (Not sure this number of old iTunes because the old Mac crashed) I copied the old iTunes from a backup folder to the new Mac. Here's what its structure looks like:

However, when I point the new iTunes on this record, he is not recognized and implemented to date so I have everything in my new iTunes. I could import all the media from the iTunes Music folder, but then I do not have my playlists.

What is the right path to access the old library on the new Mac?

Thanks for the help!

Hello

Create a new folder in the Finder window and call it Itunes1

Drag all of the files and folders inside except for Album work.

Launch iTunes by pressing ⌥ alt, and then select the iTunes1 library

It should work

  • Update of os x Snow Leopard to El Capitan 10.11.5 10.6.8

    Hi all...

    I just upgraded my Macbook Pro 13 "since mid-2010 at the El Capitan 10.11.5."

    Configuration of my Macbook Pro:

    2.4 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo

    4 GB 1067 MHz DDR3

    NVIDIA GeForce 320M 256 MB

    These are the problems I encounter:

    • I can't switch between the previous page and next page with 3 fingers sliding left or right, I could do without effort on my previous version of the osx
    • The startup time is very high... (40 seconds to 1 minute)
    • The system preference takes time to open

    Please help on the above problems.

    The only reason to upgrade my Macbook Pro has been because the iTunes was not compatible with my new iPhone SE. (there where we need the itunes 12.3.3.17 and who used to work on my OSx snow leopard 10.6.8)

    Please help me to solve the above problems. Also let me know if I need a downgrade to older versions of the operating system

    Check your trackpad settings

     > System Preferences > Trackpad to scroll through the options

    To be honest, with only 4 GB of RAM and running El Cap - it all seems normal with a HD of spinning.  Snow Leopard is much lighter and compact operating system.

    The only reason to upgrade my Macbook Pro has been because the iTunes was not compatible with my new iPhone SE.

    It doesn't pay to get too far behind in technology or OS X.

    Add more RAM and an SSD, you'd be amazed at the difference. Check out https://www.macsales.com/

    I've updated my macbookpro (2010) snow leopard at elcapitan but when I restart it does not complete the installation then is no longer able to use it.

    I tried the following:

    1 start with the R command and using disk utility that did say he had problems but then appear all ok after completing.

    2 tried the Verbose mode and did not work

    3. I tried command mode S did not.

    4. tried to zap the pram was not working.

    5 a couple other things that I had read, but nothing helped.

    It starts up and the line begins to show the computer made his 'thing', but gets stuck about 3/4 quarters of and goes no further. Would appreciate any suggestions.

    PS: also tried boot from the original disks as well, but no luck.

    You said "PS: also starting from the original disks tried both but no luck."

    Exactly what happened when you tried?

    Have you tried formatting the HD?

    Have you started the installation of SL?

  • Process of return to Snow Leopard of El Capitan

    I have an iMac from the beginning of 2008.  I was using Snow Leopard successfully.  Last weekend, I've upgraded to El Capitan.  During the conversion, I lost all my email history.  I had saved Snow Leopard in Time Machine just before the upgrade.  I want to find a process documented back to Snow Leopard (I have the dicc) and time using Time Machine to reinstall the emails.  I tried to reinstall the e-mails with the help of El Capitan, but it does not work.  Did Snow Leopard work - El Capitan runs very slowly with my chip set.  Any help would be appreciated.

    Here's what you need to do:

    Snow Leopard erase and install

    Remember to only back up your files.

    1. Insert the Snow Leopard DVD in the optical drive and restart the computer.
    2. Immediately after hearing the chime hold down the C key.
    3. Release the button when the Apple logo appears and wait for loading to complete.
    4. After the installer loads, choose your language and click on the continue button. When the menu bar appears select utility drive in the Utilities menu.  After disk utility charges select the entry out-bumpy in the list aside (mfgr. size ID and disc drive.)  In the right side of the disk utility window, click the Partition tab.  Set the number of partitions of one (1) in the menu dropdown. Click the Options button and select GUID, click on OK, the value of the Mac OS Extended journaled format type. Finally, click on the apply button.
    5. Once the format is complete, quit disk utility.  Continue with the installation of OS X and follow the directions.
    6. Once installation is complete, the computer will restart in the installation wizard. After completing the Setup Wizard, you will use a new installation of Snow Leopard. Open the software update and install updates recommended.
    7. If you plan to sell or to give to your remote computer, then proceed as follows: once you reformat your hard disk and reinstall Snow Leopard, the computer restarts with a welcome screen. To leave the Mac in a State OOTB (Out Of The Box), do not continue with the Setup program. Instead, press the command and Q keys to stop the computer. The installation wizard will guide you the new owner through the installation procedure, after that it turns on the computer.
    8. Download and install Mac OS X 10.6.8 v1.1 updated Combo. If necessary. It is not necessary if you are selling or giving your computer away.
  • (Corrupt) 12.3 without updating iTunes library

    Today when I opened my iTunes library it saids me that iTunes library was damaged and about 2500 titles and almost all of my missing playlist (it seems that iTunes uses a previous library of mine, like 6 months ago or not). I tried with the last iTunes Library.itl file in the 'previous iTunes library' folder, but given that I haven't had an update, I found the file most recent was December last year (and I have downloaded more than 1000 songs and made a lot of new reading list since then). I also tried to import the iTunes Music Library.xml into my iTunes but it told me that a few pieces of "iTunes" Music Library.xml had not be imported because they cannot be found.

    Thanks in advance for your help and sorry for my bad English

    Luca

    See the empty/corrupted after upgrade/crash iTunes library. Is there the .tmp files in the iTunes folder? You have a Time Machine backup? It is quite easy to import new songs. It may be possible to recover playlists if they have been synchronized to a device.

  • Where can I find a downloadable update and secure (from Snow Leopard 10.6.8) for my office iMac?

    First of all, forgive me if I'm not on any computer jargon as you young people are.  And I don't know the details of the operation of the computer.  If possible, I just need simple answers or solutions to my need.  Terms like "segregation" and stuff like which are wasted on me.  I have an old desktop computer Apple iMac 2008 model.  Running Safari Version 5.1.10 (6534.59.10) - I love my Safari.  My computer and some sites that I try to access from time to time tell me that my server is obsolete.  I guess that means I need an upgrade.  About 6 months ago, I've upgraded to Snow Leopard 10.6.8 using a disc that I bought at the Apple store for some time ago.  Recently, I added all of the 6 GB of memory (live RAM) so I have enough memory to upgrade.

    I don't want to take a giant to El Capitan step and risk problems.  I know 10.7 Lion is no longer available, but perhaps Cougar 10.8 10.9 Maverick is somehow available for download.

    Download codes for 10.7 and 10.8 Mountain Lion Lion are available on the Apple Store online.

    If you need specifically Mavericks 10.9 or Yosemite 10.10, go into a physical Apple store and ask.

    Any upgrade of the operating system can cause problems. Back up your data and control your applications for compatibility first.

  • Snow Leopard to El Capitan on Macbook pro 2011

    Hello world

    I run a 2011 Macbook pro under Snow Leopard and need to update to El Capitan because of my iPhone 5 that runs on iOs 9.
    Question?

    Should I upgrade to El Capitan or keep Snow Leopard?
    Is anyone doing this update already on a similar mac?
    I heard that it would be possible to partition the drive and use the two Os x. My concern is that my macbook pro would be slower, it works perfectly fine at the time or perhaps the risk of overheating due to the upgrade?
    And of course, I could lose valuable software like Xpress, my Adobe CS5...

    Sorry for the many questions but I have not found answers on the forum yet.
    Thanks in advance.

    Florian

    (1) keep SL, but use El Capitan on the same drive or on an external boot disk.

    (2) others have, and it is possible.  I did not, but I'm a bit of a killjoy.

    (3A) Yes, it is possible.  I would advise, so you can keep your software that will be useful if - I don't you am not mocking, I understand very well keep working software.

    (3B), it may be a bit slower.  If you have less than 16 GB of RAM (you can run that much) the effect could be a little more pronounced.  If you only have 4 GB of RAM, you need to upgrade RAM first IMO.

    (3 c) don't worry overheating.  Fan CPU/controls is sophisticated enough to keep things working, as long as you do not block the main back-vent.

    Path, you can follow:

    (1A), you can partition using disk utility, but you should have a very good clone/backup before doing just in case a very rare event of bad things.  You also told us not how big your current drive is and how you have used.

    (1B), you could get an external 2.5 drive and I suggest that you get an external Universal connection kit for $15 fix any bare drive.

    (2) you can download the installer from El Capitan, but out of the automatic "starts to install.  Then copy the installation application to another location of re - later use these packs to remove critical package "in-house" at the end of installation.

    (3) If you have a second drive of clone of your current system (my preferred method), you can upgrade this clone, while keeping intact internal drive and startup just externally for iPhone operations.

  • Compatibility CD Snow Leopard with El Capitan

    Hello

    Until recently, I used the (installed via the original CD) on a plain Macbook snow leopard, and subsequently, I installed Windows XP SP3 via Bootcamp. I remember that after the installation I had to install utilities Bootcamp from the original CD of Snow Leopard.

    A few weeks ago, I upgraded to El Capitan, and then to Windows 7 in the original Bootcamp partition. Are there specific utilities of Bootcamp I should install?

    In which case the answer is Yes, where can I find/download utilities for editing?

  • 10.11.4 OSX update itunes library is broken

    After the last update of El Capitan, iTunes can not find more my library. It is located on an external hard drive, it is still there but it seems that the file format changed in the latest version of itunes so that it can not find the library more. Anyone has the same problem, and there is no work around?

    Open iTunes preferences and make sure the path to the location of media is correct. Quit iTunes and re - open while pressing the option key. Choose the location of the file library on the external hard drive.

    You can go to depends on what your model is compatible with. You cannot install Mountain Lion, Mavericks, or Yosemite because they are no longer available.

    Upgrade to El Capitan

    You can pass the Lion El Capitan or directly from Snow Leopard. El Capitan can be downloaded for FREE from the Mac App Store.

    Upgrade to El Capitan

    To upgrade to El Capitan, you must have Snow Leopard 10.6.8 or installed Lion. Download El Capitan from the App Store. Sign in with your Apple ID. El Capitan is free. The file is big enough, more than 5 GB, allow it some time to download. It would be preferable to use Ethernet because it is nearly four times faster than wireless.

    Mac that can be upgraded to OS X El Capitan

    1 iMac (mid-2007 or newer) - model identifier 7.1 or later

    2 MacBook (late 2008 or early 2009 or newer aluminium) - model identifier 5.1 or later

    3. MacBook Pro (Mid/Late 2007 or newer)- model identifier 3.1 or later version

    4 MacBook Air (late 2008 or newer)- model identifier 2.1 or later

    5 mac mini (early 2009 or newer)- model identifier 3.1 or later version

    6 mac Pro (Early 2008 or newer)- model identifier 3.1 or later version

    7 Xserve (early 2009) - model identifier 3.1 or later version

    To find the identifier of the model open system information in the Utilities folder. It is displayed in the Panel on the right.

    My applications are compatible?

    See table of application - RoaringApps compatibility

    Upgrade to Lion

    If your computer does not meet the requirements to install the Mavericks, it can still meet the specifications to install Lion.

    You can buy Lion to the Apple store. The cost is $19.99 (as it was before) plus taxes.  It's a download. You will receive an email with a redemption code that you then use on the Mac App Store for download Lion. Save a copy of this installer to your download folder because Setup deletes itself at the end of the installation.

    Lion system requirements

    1 mac with an Intel Core 2 Duo, Core i3, Core i5, Core i7,

    or Xeon processor

    2. 2 GB of memory

    3 OS X 10.6.6 or later (10.6.8) recommended

    4. 7 GB of available space

  • How to uninstall El Capitan and replaces it with clone of Snow Leopard?

    I had a chance terrible execution El Capitan, including in connection with CS5. It takes (literally) 10 x more time to save a .tiff file in El Capitan, than that of Snow Leopard. I suspect much too many processes running in the background, which most is probably not necessary, but I don't know that for sure. Something is not.

    I have a clone perfect my Snow Leopard former plant and wonder if that can just be installed right on El Capitan, as when we do an update of the operating system, or do I have to erase the whole score first, then install clone?

    (I know, I'll then have browser problems, but...)

    Hi CFS88,

    Thanks for joining the communities Support from Apple. I see your message you need to restore your operating system Snow Leopard of El Capitan. I'm happy to help you!

    To install Snow Leopard on your system, you will need to use a snow leopard install DVD or disc of original installation if your Mac comes with Snow Leopard originally. Once you insert the disc, press and hold the C button it restarts and restart your Mac. This will allow you to boot from the installation disc. From there, you can use disk utility to wipe your drive and reinstall OS X. Once installation is complete, you can choose your preferred option to migrate your data to your Mac using the installation wizard.

    If you use Time Machine, you can restore from a backup Time Machine with installed thus 10.6:

    macOS Sierra: return to an earlier version of Mac OS

    See you soon!

  • Not good at El Capitan Snow Leopard: which goes back?

    Well, I'm in trouble, I think. I have improved my Early 2008 iMac (2.4 Ghz 4 GB ram) machine of 10.6 Snow Leopard to El Capitan (reason: so I could save my new iPhone6s - was not recognized in iTunes in 10.6). What is OS El Capitan somewhere cool, but oh oh oh how it slowed the computer. I am a photographer running Adobe LIghtroom, and sometimes the computer literally stops responding. I need to keep my iPhone saved, so I plan to go back in the OS to one of the following:

    OS X 10,10 "Yosemite", 10.9 "Mavericks" 10.8 "Mountain Lion", 10.7 "Lion"

    It would be great to go back just to one of these, but the #1 problem is that I have never owned one any of them. I went directly to El Capitan in Snow Leopard.

    The next option I guess would be back to 10.6 SL and then upgrade from there. #2 problem is that I already have a SuperDuper! backup my iMac to El Capitan running. I have no copy, what her backup or system disks, with OS 10.6 Snow Leopard for my 2008 iMac. (I have 10.4 Tiger which was for an iMac PowerPC G5 and 10.6 who was for my MacBook Pro 2010. "I am sure that these are useless for my 2008 iMac).

    Should which way I follow to get to one of these operating systems? I would like to buy a new computer, but I would like to find a solution to give at the moment. Should I go buy a system for one of the OS disk, I want somewhere?

    The next question, I've seen a few discussions, is that OS would reasonably execute such as Snow Leopard, but also let my iPhone6s to be recognized in iTunes?

    Thanks for reading.

    Looks like you need to do some third party editing software, because 10.11 works very well on this iMac.

    You could also try to replace one of the modules of 2 GB with a 4GB module and run with 6 GB to see if that helps.
