According to Apple my iTunes Music Library can be found on my iMac hard drive at ~/Music.  It isn't there.<xhtml:br/>
How do I :<xhtml:br/>
i) find the Library<xhtml:br/>
ii) Copy it from iMac to MBP if I am running two versions of OS X (Snow Leopard on the iMac, El Capitan on the MBP) and two versions of iTunes (11.4 on the iMac and 12.4.1 on the MBP)<xhtml:br/>
<xhtml:br/>
I can run both on El Capitan should that make mattters easier.</xhtml:div>

      <xhtml:div xmlns:xhtml="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml">I don't think it's one file as in Photos, I think you need to copy the whole iTunes folder which you probably do have in ~/Music.<xhtml:br/>
<xhtml:br/>
Is iTunes 11.4 the latest that will run on Snow Leopard? I don't know when iTunes changed from a library file to a folder containing lots of necessary files, but if you don't have a library file on either machine you'll probably be OK. You probably can't do any harm even if it doesn't work.<xhtml:br/>
<xhtml:br/>
You will need to authorise the MBP to play anything you've bought from the iTunes store.</xhtml:div>

      <xhtml:div xmlns:xhtml="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml">Moving an iTunes library is not something to do on a whim. Apple provides the procedure <xhtml:a href="https://support.apple.com/en-gb/HT201625" target="blank">here</xhtml:a> to make sure that there are no stragglers or castaways. The article also describes how to find the library.<xhtml:br/>

Bon voyage!</xhtml:div>
