I purchased a second iMac and used the migration tool to copy everything over from the first one to the second one. Most everything is fine except my iTunes library. The albums/songs/playlist were all there but there was no music and I got the following message:

The song “all songs” could not be used because the original file could not be found. Would you like to locate it?

So I imported my library again and now I have duplicates of most songs and the ones that originally showed with the migration show an explanation point in front of each song and of course they won't play. I now have the music that will play but duplicate song titles.

Does anyone have any idea how to fix this? I have 15,000+ songs in my library with 100+ playlists and I really don't want to have to create new playlists and delete the thousands of duplicate titles.

Should I delete iTunes and migrate it over again? Any help here is appreciated.
