I was trying to move my iTunes library to another hard drive, so I used the method outlined in the Help Section, (you can find it here: http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=301748). Then, like an ABSOLUTE IDIOT, (I know it, so please don't reinforce it), I followed the last couple of steps and deleted my original library before I checked the new one.
What it created was a folder of the same size and with all the same files, but the VAST majority of the files won't play. In iTunes it just skips right over them, and Quicktime says "This movie could not be opened. This file is not a movie file." It says that on both audio and video files. A few files play fine, (around 1/50), but most do not.
Now, each of the files is the same size as the original, so I'm thinking the information is still in there, if I can just figure out how to get to it. Does anyone have any ideas here? I am begging you, I literally have thousands of dollars on the line here...
