Could you explain your setup to me or verify if I've understood it right?
You had your iTunes folder in ~/Music.
You also had a Time Machine backup.
The computers internal harddrive crashed (or got deleted in some way
or another)
The Time Machine backup also failed.
You have a clone of your entire ~ at another location.
You moved your iTunes folder to your current computer back to the
original location and replaced everything?
In this case I see no issues with this, perhaps ACL (Boot to install
disc -> Reset Password Utility -> Press 'Reset') then boot back into
OS again and it should work, but this is highly unlikely.
Please let me know if I've understood it all correctly.
not quite.
all iTunes media (but not library *file*) on a disk named 500. Also on
500, my TM back-up. No way I have enough space for my iTunes folder on
my laptop these days (would fill the internal disk easy)
I had a clone of 500 called (surprise) 500backup.
500 has completely died. While completely not in use (computer shut down
at the time). blah, so much for Seagate portables.
plugging in 500 backup and renaming it 500 has left Tm working fine, but
iTunes doesn't see the files in their locations, even though the path is
correct. Sending it manually to a handful of the files triggered about
10% being found but not the rest (huh?)
The laptop and OS etc are fine, apparently. I can work with the xml
export and change the path with BBEdit then delete the library file
contents, then import. I've done it before. It's probably less hassle
than anything else right now...
