My Mac died. I had a backup of my files including iTunes on an external hard drive. I copied my iTunes folder to the new computer, but it doesn't show up in iTunes. I made sure the new computer was authorized and quit out of and signed into iTunes multiple times. The devices submenu where I should be able to transfer files is greyed out. Any help would be appreciated.
Mac mini, macOS 10.14
Hold down option as you launch iTunes and keep holding until asked to choose or create a library. Click choose, then browse to and open the iTunes Library.itl file in the iTunes folder on the external drive.
