Message-ID: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Dear dan_A, Just thought I'd share with you what somebody pointed out to me once: the only stupid question is the one you don't ask. Don't feel bad - nobody, at least on earth, knows everything there is to know and everybody needs to ask somebody else something sometime (and I speak from experience!). I guess that's what this list is all about.

Re: Backing Up Itunes Music to La Cie External
Thanks to all for responding. I dragged the music folder from Documents to the La Cie icon and the entire 10gig file was copied over. This was a main issue. I downloaded CCC, but using it apparently isn't simple because after reading some of the Troubleshooting comments,I realized that a lot of mess can be created if not done properly. So for the time being I'll be satisfied with having my music saved, and read the info slowly before doing anything. I also copied over my desktop files and made an alias of the hard drive. When I know a bit more I'll copy the hard drive with CCC. I have an old 6gig hard drive removed from a Pismo when I switched to a 20gig. The larger HD failed, along with board also (I think) and I sold the unit as is to someone who tinkers. Most of the 6gig HD is filled with music. I'd like to copy it to the La Cie and then will move some of the music as desired to the 40gig internal on the G3 iBook. If I take the 6gig to a local Apple dealer, I guess that they'll insert the HD into a vacant machine and then transfer it to the La Cie. The shop charges $60 an hour. Any guesstimates about how much time it will take for this to be done (so that I can figure costs)? Is there another way to do this that is simpler? Thanks again, folks.

How can I tell if the music library is on the external drive? I'm still working on this one...Parts of files show up here and there, but not the whole transfer. Approximately 25 out of 85 gigs...I just drag 'n' dropped my music folder. As you can see, this is a first outing here and I don't have much info or understanding. Anything guidance would be appreciated. My best advice is get multiple opinions before doing anything irreversible. I just lost 1600 cds worth of music transferring from Ipod to G4 and from to G4 to Lacie hard drive. I was using Ipod rip and got a little lost when I couldn't make the files show up permanently, meaning they would load, but when I clicked on them they weren't actually there (in Itunes). Luckily I own the original cds for the music I lost, but two months of work, and some cool new stuff from my Ipod is gone...

Re: Backing Up Itunes Music to La Cie External
At $60 an hour, why don't you purchase an external case for the 6Gig and do your own transferring, thus saving some money and getting and external HD as well?

Re: Backing Up Itunes Music to La Cie External
Yeah, I'd thought of this, but figured that the shop could transfer in half an hour (maybe!), and a case would be perhaps double (?) this cost. Anyone know the lowest costs or have suggestions for an external case these days? I just thought it rather superfluous to have another drive (especially one so small) and case when the 120gig is so huge.
