Ok, so if I launch iTunes and I'm away from home, when I return I must change the library location each time after I've been somewhere? The thing is, I don't want all that music on my MBP or my Mac Air.
Reach within you, find the beauty of you, then share your light with the world!

But, if it can't find your new special location (because it doesn't exist for some reason) it will revert back to using the standard location. So if you have an external hard drive or network mounted drive for your iTunes library you will need to make sure that is connected/mounted first and then launch iTunes. Otherwise it will silently fail and go back to its old ways. CB On 1/2/12 7:49 PM, Sean Murphy wrote: > Hi, > > Go to the desktop/finder. Press command + k.
