1. If I were you, I would get all my music onto the external hdd, then
re-import your songs into iTunes, making sure before you copy, the
checkbox 'copy files to iTunes music folder' is unticked in the
advanced panel of iTunes preferences.

2. OR, move your iTunes folder from your music folder on osx onto your
external hdd, and in the preferences of iTunes, advanced panel, choose
the folder you stored the iTunes folder in on
the external hdd. Restart iTunes, and your music should be alright.

Missing itunes folders and playlists

2009-05-08 Thread Meghrouni Vince

I'd set my iTunes preferences to store my music files in an external  
HD.  My G4 Quicksilver has been fighting to stay alive lately and in  
the process has had several freezes and kernel panics per day.  In the  
process of all that I've been running disc maintenance and repairing  
permissions - obviously I'm a "know nothing" or at best "know  
little" (more dangerous).  Anyway, at a certain point, my iTunes app  
changed in that all the music appears to be there, but the  
organizational end of it, the folders and playlists, are gone.

Any way to restore my old organization structure?  Help this know- 
little along here.  I am not a "computer person" although recent  
events have forced more knowledge and capability on me.

Thanks
