beaTunes won't save iTunes library location after move to new computer
I recently bought a new Mac (iMac 3.06Ghz Intel Core Duo, 4GB 1067MHz RAM running OS X 10.6.3) and transferred over all user data and info from the old Mac-mini, including beaTunes. The 'old' user profiles (including admin with the beaTunes installation) were in addition to the 'new' admin user on the iMac. When I run beaTunes now it seems to look for the iTunes library of the 'new' admin user rtaher than the 'old' admin user (with the error message about the library not being used in a while). Even if I reset and commit the library to the correct one it doesn't save this setting for the next time i open it. So, everytime i open beaTunes I have to locate the iTunes library. Log files are attached FYI.
- beaTunes.log 1.34 MB
- env.txt 4.22 KB
- system-error.log 686 KB

Hi,
please simply delete the file
~/Library/Application Support/beaTunes/preferences2.xml
and beaTunes should forget about the old file.Hope this helps,

I just tried this and it didn't work - it came up with the same error message.

Hi,
it looks like these two files are on your system:
7EF6DF1C52B3C65B: /Users/Andrew/Music/iTunes/iTunes Music Library.xml
7EF6DF1C52B3C65B: /Users/ajburgess/Music/iTunes/iTunes Music Library.xml
Not sure which one is the right one, but have you tried to simply delete the wrong/old one?
