Can't find iTunes library on New Computer

Hello all, I'm not too savvy, so be gentle with me.

I have a new MBP. I'm trying to move my iTunes Library from my old computer (another MBP) to my new computer. I've tried to follow all the directions online, but the new computer is not picking up my old library.

Here's what I did:

On my source computer, I copied the iTunes folder (from Music>iTunes) to an external drive.

My new computer has no added content, except the music I've purchased directly from iTunes. I guess they were moved over by the cloud automatically.

On my new computer, I navigated to the Music Folder, then took the iTunes folder from my external drive, and moved it into the Music Folder. It gave me the option to "merge" or "replace" the iTunes folder that already existed there and I chose "merge."

I opened iTunes with the "option" button, and chose the "iTunes Library.itl" file when it asked me to choose an iTunes library.

This is where I'm stuck, it is not importing my music into iTunes. Inside of the iTunes folder, there is a "iTunes Music" folder and all the music is there. It just doesn't seem to be importing it into the program.

Where have I gone wrong in this?

Thanks for any help you can offer.

 

This was the fix, but all I had to do was recopy the one "iTunes Library.itl" file from my old computer to the new one. When I merged the folders, for whatever reason the new computer "iTunes Library.itl" had a later date than the old computer "iTunes Library.itl" file, so it kept the newer file (which was the wrong one). Once I recopied this one file from the old computer it solved the problem.

Thanks all!
