Re: iTunes media external drive

2013-07-22 Thread Esther 
Hi Doug,

Glad that this all worked out for you, and it was simply a missing file 
responsible for your post (and that I read your post that this was working in 
another thread before starting to try troubleshooting).  The iTunes library 
database files should stay on your main mac drive, and not on your external 
drive, since they contain the information on where to locate your music and 
other media files (whether the tracks for your music files, etc. are on your 
laptop hard drive or on an external hard drive.)

HTH.  Cheers,

Esther

Not sure I'm fully understanding your set up, but the important thing is to 
have your iTunes library point to the accurate location of the music folder, 
so if you have moved it, you will need to tell iTunes where to look. You can 
do this I think, under the advanced settings in options, or it might be 
preferences -

frustrating for me. because i never have these issues…
