Hi I've attempted to move my entire iTunes Library and Rekordbox to my MacBook from my iMac.
I've got an identical duplicate iTunes in the new Mac and i've backed up/restored a copy of Rekordbox onto the Macbook. The playlists show but no music content is picked up.
Is there an easier way of sorting this out!?
Thanks

@Gavin Followed your guide and I'm a bit further forward but I'm getting the yellow exclamation for every track in the library. How can I tell Rekordbox where to find the music? It's all in my iTunes library which I copied across??
@Gavin, I followed your procedure which worked but the tracks are in the library but they aren't in the playlists ? What's the secret ?
@Richie > I'll reply to your email on this asap.
Gavin, really struggling on this mate, did you get my email?
I'm very interested in knowing the way to change the link of library database !!
To export database between pc and mac !
The same volume :
on pc = D:\MusicFileName\music.mp3
on mac = VolumeName\MusicFileName\music.mp3
We just need to change "D:\" by "VolumeName\"
HELP US, a lot of dj are looking for that....
@HARDY > As long as your other directory titles have stayed the same, you should be able to open Rekordbox, click "File" and select "Display All Missing Files".
Once it scans and shows all the tracks it cannot locate because the directory has been changed, DO NOT CLICK ON ANYTHING. Do not click on any 1 specific track. Just leave them as they are, and click in the bottom left corner where it says "Relocate". Then it will tell you the title of the track it is looking for at the top of the new box that appears. Navigate through your hard drive and find the exact track that you have been requested to find. Once you have found and selected that track, select "Open". Another dialogue will appear that will ask "Would you like Rekordbox to find other missing files using the location of this track?" Select "Yes" and it should find all the tracks that have the same standard directory.
This is assuming you've replaced all of the hidden PIONEER folders in the right place on your Mac and that your collection appears in Rekordbox. If it doesn't, you'll have to go over Gavin's thread here: http://forums.pioneerdj.com/entries/20658308-migrating-your-rekordbox-database
I followed Gavin his thread ( http://forums.pioneerdj.com/entries/20658308-migrating-your-rekordb...), but still I think I'm doing something wrong because the files aren't appearing (nor in version 2.2.4 or 3.0.1 of rekordbox).
What I do see is that my "old" setting files are a UNIX format (thats what it's saying) and the new files that already exist are DOCUMENT file types
The: "rekordbox.settings" and the "Upmgr rekordbox.settings" files where in another location than Gavin was telling (**OSX: /Users/yourusername/Library/Pioneer/rekordbox > OSX: /Users/yourusername/Library/Preferences/Pioneer/rekordbox) **so I also tried to make an "Old Files" on this location but still no response from rekordbox 3
Can someone give me some advise to try next because I'm out of ideas :-(
Thanks
