Hey guys,

I just bought a new mac and I want to only import my iTunes library from a time machine back up - Obviously I want to carry across all the metadata too.

It seems to me when you go to restore from a time machine backup it brings across the old user account too.

Is it possible to simply bring across my beloved iTunes library?

:):):)
 
go into Finder
select Music folder and then the iTunes folder

enter time machine and it should show you previous versions of this folder that you can restore
