I'm going to play around with it some more but hate to kill the app if one of the files is corrupt.

What I'm trying to understand is if I pull over just the media folder where the music is actually stored, if the newly created library will recognize it. Or do I need to pull over one of the prior .itl files for that to work?

iTunes giving me all sorts of problems since it updated to 12.7 on my El Capitan mac mini. - oc 2017-10-06 14:42:45 (233 views)
- Ugh, this sucks - manualAvant 2017-10-06 20:33:39 (259 views)
  - Have not tried that. I'm thinking maybe I just need to reinstall El Capitan at this point. - oc 2017-10-07 10:39:16 (159 views)
    - Maybe this will work - manualAvant 2017-10-09 09:44:23 (217 views)
      - Hmm, I will try that. At this point I think something must be miffed in my OS though.   -  oc  2017-10-09 15:03:05 (185 views)
        
        IDK what AppZapper or the "rm commands" are, but I can guarantee they screwed it up  -  manualAvant  2017-10-09 17:41:08 (187 views)
        
        Followed a bunch of online articles on how to remove and reinstall iTunes.  -  oc  2017-10-15 22:32:28 (135 views)
        
        I know exactly what rm does, the specific commands are what I'm interested in  -  manualAvant  2017-10-16 05:24:59 (160 views)

        I don't mean to sound dull, but umm, that's basically the command used. sudo rm -rf iTunes.app   -  oc  2017-10-17 00:59:01 (163 views)
        
        you basically dragged iTunes to the trash with that command   -  manualAvant  2017-10-17 09:18:31 (153 views)
        
        Not from what I experienced.  -  oc  2017-10-17 09:23:42 (177 views)

  - 12.7 wouldn't load at all. Click the app and nothing. - oc 2017-10-07 10:38:34 (195 views)
    - Have you tried purging the library database and re-adding your songs? - Mirror|rorriM 2017-10-07 19:46:02 (204 views)
      - I just tried deleting the entire iTunes file directory and still no luck.  -  oc  2017-10-09 00:59:09 (188 views)
        
        When you deleted the library, was it via Option 2 here?   -  Mirror|rorriM  2017-10-10 07:46:07 (198 views)
        
        Well sort of in a way.  -  oc  2017-10-15 22:35:32 (166 views)
        
        That's not quite the same thing, FWIW.  -  Mirror|rorriM  2017-10-16 07:32:44 (178 views)
        
        The iTunes folder contains the library and media files. I deleted it all. Success last night  -  oc  2017-10-16 15:41:04 (170 views)
        
        just drag in Homedir/Music/iTunes to where it is supposed to go   -  manualAvant  2017-10-16 20:27:28 (194 views)

        your "library" is the .itl file in homedir/Music/iTunes  -  manualAvant  2017-10-17 09:21:50 (178 views)
        
        Gotcha. I will try that first, everything was in one folder, no ratings, just cover art and music.  -  oc  2017-10-17 09:25:10 (162 views)
        
        Back in business! Just had to remove all the library files, etc and just reopen my media folder  -  oc  2017-10-18 09:42:13 (182 views)
        
        Sounds like what I suggested doing on 10/7.   -  Mirror|rorriM  2017-10-18 14:30:43 (157 views)
        
        The computer still required a full reload of the OS before iTunes  -  oc  2017-10-18 20:13:12 (180 views)
