Hi, I performed an erase and install of Snow Leopard and then used Migration assistant to restore my data from an external drive.
I decided not to restore my Music because I wanted to add it later on to preserve disk space.
I then decided that I wanted to restore my music as it was before the erase and install but I can't use Migration assistant anymore.
I decided to copy my Itunes Library backup including my music, movies and everything in the itunes folder into the itunes folder on my mac. After 30 minutes all my music and movies was copied over.
I opened itunes but it was extremely slow and sluggish and I kept getting beachballs every few seconds.
I decided to trash all my music, movies, etc from the itunes folder and reset it back to the way it was with nothing in Itunes and then manually add my music and movies back to itunes which would take alot longer.
My Music and movies are now in itunes and itunes acts the way it should but I notice that theres sometimes odd behavior.
At times I get the beach balls, after I quit itunes, it sometimes takes about 20 seconds to open (I only have 700 songs in Itunes) THe blank cover art had a faded grey color at the top which eventually disappeared. Sometimes it takes 15 seconds before itunes store loads.
Is there now something wrong with Itunes or am I imagining things? I'm concerned that I damaged Itunes. what should I do?
