Greetings all, While using SnowLeopard, I backed up my iTunes library to an external drive and installed Lion via a DVD (HD was completely erased). I then pulled for updates which sadly installed iTunes 10.4. Upon launching iTunes, it did not prompt for a library.
I attempted to copy my backed up folder into /users/userName/music/iTunes/"iTunes Media", but receive a message indicating that I do not have access to the hard drive and if I proceed the data won't be visible.(???) I went into disk utility and repaired my permissions but that did not vary the result. I was able to successfully copy my library into .../music. Under iTunes advanced preferences I set the folder to .../music/BackedUpFolder but my content is not visible. I only have the getting started videos and options to search for or purchase music. I could search my external drive, but that would not restore my iPhone content? I seem to recall being able to restore a library from Windows to SnowLeopard this way using an earlier version of iTunes, so perhaps I'm over looking a step? Also strange that I don't have permission to access that folder despite having administrative privileges and the fact that parental controls are disabled? TIA for any suggestions and best regards.
