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.
Geoff
