I have a MacPro with 3 gig of RAM, 10.5.2 and iTunes 7.6.1 (9). I also have a large music library. Since installing these updates somewhere iTunes has started going wacky. Getting very slow, lots of beachballs, graphics sluggish, slow responiveness. I reinstalled Leopard and it seems a little better but the problems persist. Jun 08, 2011 I'm in the process of trying to copy my iTunes music library from my PC to MBP. I searched for and found numerous useful and easy to understand articles in the forums on how to do this process. The issue I'm having is that much of the music in my iTunes library is not showing in the 'My Music-iTunes-iTunes Media-Music folder. Anytune is the ultimate desktop music practice app for musicians of all kinds. Anytune Mac brings the same great feature set and user interface loved by musicians from iOS to the Mac. Watch this getting started video to have a look at some of the things Anytune can do for you and your music! There are a few ways to transfer your iTunes library from one computer to another: When you get a new Mac, use Setup Assistant (or Migration Assistant, if you’re switching from Windows) to move files—including your iTunes files—from your old computer to the new one. See the Apple Support article Back up and restore your iTunes Library.

Discord library folders mac. In theory, you shouldn't change anything in here.Now, as for the files inside the various library folders: Most of them are organized by type (e.g. However, some programs (mostly Apple-authored ones) are, um, egotistical enough to think they need their own top-level folder inside the library, so they go ahead and create one and store things in it.As for the name 'Library', I wouldn't read too much into it. Some resource types are available to many or all programs (e.g. There's a Preferences folder, a Caches folder, an Application Support folder, etc) with files/subfolders per application (or system component, or whatever). Fonts, Keychains, Services), so there's just a bunch of files there.
