Hi everyone
Iāve read a bunch of the messages about connecting iTunes to run off an external hard drive, but havenāt had any luck resolving my problem⦠To be fair though Iām not that familiar/comfortable with a lot of programming terms so I may have missed something that was includedā¦
I have an LG netbook with Windows XP Home and iTunes (updated to the latest version yesterday) and a My Book Live 2 TB external hard drive⦠In simple terms, I want to store/run iTunes off of the external hard drive and use my netbook or iTouch to listen to musicā¦
I followed Appleās instructions for moving iTunes to another drive - I consolidated the files, checked the box for keeping the files organized, changed the location for iTunes Media folder location to my external hard drive (when I āGet Infoā for the tracks iTunes it shows them in the external hard drive), then deleted the original iTunes Media folder⦠My Book Live shows up in iTunes, but does not list any tracks⦠I moved all of my iTunes (tv, music, ringtones, etc) to a folder I created in the external hard drive called iTunes⦠I did move the music from iTunes to the Shared Music folder on the external hard drive, but neither location shows the tracks in iTunesā¦
Itās probably obvious that Iām not strong at this sort of thing, I usually try a few things until I get it to work⦠With the size of iTunes though trying/moving things takes hours and Iām hoping someone can give me some feedback on what Iām doing wrong or forgetting to do
Thanks in advance for any help or pointers
