Can iTunes utilize more than one external hard drive at once?
A couple of years ago we had the bright idea to get a mac mini with an external hard drive and load it up with movies and such, so when we wanted to watch a tv show or movie, we could just scroll through the titles and pick without having to deal with the actual DVD (the mini is hooked up to a flatscreen tv). Needless to say, this monster has grown to epic proportions and we have since upgraded to 2 external hard drives (totaling 5 TB), and we now use another program that utilizes both hard drives without problem.
The issue I am having is that we bought an AppleTV tonight, and have not had any problems getting iTunes to see the movies in the "Movies" External HD, but the tv shows are on another External HD and they take up a little more than 345 GB of space. I kinda liked having the two drives separate, but was wondering if there was a way to make the mini think these two drives were just one? I know it is a strange question, but I can't think of a solution at this point.
Is there a way to tell iTunes to look in two locations for content?
I am wondering if this set-up will work if I daisy chain the external drives. My iTunes library is stored on a 1.5 TB external drive. I have about 350 GB of storage left. I have been trying to find a way to add a drive instead of replacing the drive with a larger drive. If I can daisy chain, this will allow me to add storage without losing another firewire port. I just want to make sure this all works before I attempt any changes. Thank you.

More than one external hard drive....
I already have a 160G lacie external hard drive and I need another. I want to purchase the Lacie 250G.
Is there any problem with having two external hard drives connected at the same time?
Thanks!
-Jeff in NYCNot at all.
Plug in as many as you have ports for
If you are using FireWire drives, you probably have additional FireWire ports on the back of each drive. Just plug the next drive into the second port on the back of the drive.
If you are using USB drives, you may or may not have a second port on the back of the first drive. If you do, use the same method.
If you don't, then plug them directly into the USB ports on your computer.
If you need more ports, get a powered USB hub. Make sure you get a powered USB hub (one with it's own power transformer), they are more stable.
But, whenever possible, go with FireWire drives. The performance difference is quite significant.
And, just for information, there is no problem mixing USB and FireWire drives if you want one or two of each
Hope this helps. -
Is it possible to use more than one external hard drive for Time Machine backups?
I want to use two hard drives for Time Machine backups.
Bigger one keep at home and be sure it is safe.
Second one (very small pocket size) keep with me for travels.
I want to backup to both drives to be sure I can restore everywhere and to be sure if something bad happened with my small travel disk I can restore from home backup.
Is there any problem with listed schema? Is it normal for Time Machine to handle backups for different drivers and keep everything consistent and smooth?I really need some help! I have been using an Iomega NAS 1TB HD for the past year. And I received an error message. I believe I have ran out of memory on this drive.
Then recently in the last couple of months I got a ReadyNAS Duo 2TB with 2TB RAID. Should I switch my back ups to this one and delete the other back up file or keep the old back up image file on the Iomega?
Can I transfer the old image back up to this new ReadyNAS? How do I do this?
I appreciate any help. -
Error 5006: can't have more than one externally visible definition
Hi
I'm getting this error:
5006: An ActionScript file can not have more than one
externally visible definition: AMReports, playSound.
playSound is a function in my main document class
The error occured after I added a MovieClip and FLV component
to my the same framemain timeline. This Movie Clip has 3 frames.
I'll be using cue points added to the FLV component to move this
from frame to frame in that MovieClip.
Any one have an idea why this is happening?
Thanks.I fixed this problem: a brace was in the wrong place.

Time Machine: Can I backup to more than 1 external hard drive?
would anyone know about this: i have a TM at home in boston which i use when i am there; however, now i am in taiwan where i will have a second TM to use here: apart from naming the two TMs differently on the laptop (macbookpro, tiger), is there anything i should look out for? with many thanks, steven totosy
Other users have successfully backed up their Mac to more than one Time Machine drive. As you stated, name them differently. You also need to switch TM drives, but that's only once after you've arrived at your new location. Note that after extended absences, TM may not want to continue with a backup and force you to create a new backup. I don't recall how much time has passed, but someone has stated 10 days, but I cannot confirm that.

I can't copy iTunes media files from one external hard drive to another.
Hi, I am running the latest iTunes and Mavericks software on my MacBook Pro. My iTunes library is stored on an external Seagate 2tb hard drive and it is almost full. I want to transfer the files to a WD Elements 3tb external hard drive and have made that new volume the destination folder for my iTunes library. However, even though I have enabled read/write on both volumes and made the iTunes media folders on both shared folders, I can't copy all the files from the Seagate drive to the WD drive. It comes up with an error message that says "The operation can't be completed because an unexpected error occurred (error code -8058)". I can transfer files from my MacBook hard drive to the new volume, but can't copy files from the old Seagate volume to my MacBook hard drive; it makes the "boing" sound that indicates it is copying but nothing transfers. Files that won't copy include all music files, some video files and all podcast files. Some transferred with no problem. Any ideas out there?
Hi Limnos, thanks very much for your reply.
both external drives came preformatted for Windows but I erased each and reformatted them for Mac before using them.
i made the destination folder on the new WD drive the new iTunes folder using Advanced preferences in iTunes.
my original iTunes folder on the first drive contained all my iTunes files, as that, also, was the destination folder that was linked via Advanced preferences.
If I download new content now with the new drive attached, iTunes has no trouble finding where to place the files.
in Preferences I have both boxes checked (copy files" and "organize") that deal with copying iTunes files.
When I first attempted to copy all iTunes files from one media folder to the other on the external drives, I just did a drag and drop of the whole iTunes media folder from one to the other while both were mounted on my desktop. It started copying immediately with no problems, but as it progressed it started skipping files, each time displaying the error message I reported earlier. that included my entire Music folder. When I open, for example, a season folder that contains files that would not copy, eg, Modern Family Season 5, the episodes that won't copy are there and visible but any attempt to drag and drop them into the correct folder on the new drive results in the error message. There is no pattern to it; it will choose some episodes from some seasons but not others, and no music at all.
when I look at the "missing" files in iTunes they have the small exclamation mark that indicates the file is missing, but when I locate it through iTunes it doesn't copy the file on the old external drive to the new one. It just plays it having found the file on the old drive.
originally I had to make the iTunes folder on the old drive into a shared folder using the Get info window after either a software upgrade or an OS upgrade (I can't remember which, it was several years ago). For some reason the upgrade changed the preferences of that folder to a Read Only folder and after researching the problem found the only way to keep using the drive was to make the folder a shared one. I can't remember why and I apologise for that but it was a long time ago.; I can tell you that at the time it was necessary.
thanks again for your time; I have a good working knowledge of iTunes and Macs in general so I truly believe I have done everything according to how it should be done,, but clearly I've done something wrong! -
How can I copy files from one external hard drive to another, without erasing anything?
Hi,
I have video and photo files on one hard drive. I'd like to keep that one intact but also copy all the files to a second external hard drive. When I try to do so, I can't figure out how to open both hard drives at once. (If I open one, it closes the other window.)
Thanks for your help!
CBOpen a finder window and open up one harddrive. Then go to file>new finder window. This way you can have two finders up and select a different harddrive in each one. Then just copy and paste the files.
Hope it helps!

Can Time Machine on a Mac Book Pro 10.5.8 back up an external hard drive (working files) to another external hard drive (WD dual backup)?
I have Mountain Lion here ready to upgrade, but I'm scared of what will happen - there's always something when you upgrade, but I guess that's for a different post!
Yes, it's a different post, but let's make a comment any way.
Your power pc apps will not work when you upgrade to Mountain Lion. You will have to replace all the apps you use. -
Can't transfer data from one external hard drive to another?
I have just purchased my first Mac book Pro a few weeks ago and i seem to be having alot of trouble transfering data between my to hard drives.
One is a 500gb and the other is a 1tb both with movies and photos on them, i want to tranfer the last data from the 500gb to the 1tb and format the 500gb.
I have tried to drag and drop and copy and paste but nothing seems to work? The movies are in avi format too so not sure if that makes a differance or not but that is another issue i would like to sort. How to change the complete hard drive to mp4 or do i do them one by one?
Any help would be great as i dont want to regret this purchase so early in the piece.
Thanks to all in advance.Yes.

How can i copy files from one external hard disk to another using macbook pro with retina display
How can i copy files from one external hard drive to another using macbook pro with retina display?
That's odd - if you open Disk Utility (Applications->Utilities) and select the disk(s), how are they formatted? If you're only going to be used with your Mac, they should be formatted as "Mac OS Extended (Journaled)".

I keep my iTunes library on an external hard drive 4TB. It's full. Can I use more than one hard drive to keep my library on? Like two 4TB next to each other.
Create a concatenated disk set
Increase storage space with a concatenated RAID set (also called “Just a Bunch of Disks” or JBOD). If you need one large disk, but you have only several smaller disks, you can create a concatenated disk set to use several small disks as one large disk.
Open Disk Utility, in the Utilities folder in Launchpad.
Select one of the disks that you want in the set, and then click RAID.
Click Add (+), and type a name for the RAID set.
Choose a format from the Format pop-up menu. Usually you’ll choose the Mac OS Extended (Journaled) format.
Choose Concatenated Disk Set from the RAID Type pop-up menu.
Drag the disks you want to add to the set to the list on the right.
Click Create.
Exerpt from:
Disk Utility 12.x: Create a RAID set - Apple - Support
Note that the biggest CON to concatenated RAID configurations is vulnerability to volume failure. If either disk fails, the whole volume fails. If you choose this option, I would highly recommend backing up your music to a cloud service. There are very cheap per GB/storage, and some of the most reputable actually offer unlimited storage:

I would like to have my MacPro laptop display and 2 external monitors (three displays). Question, how can I have more than one application displayed at a time? IE: I would like email on one monitor, Finder on my laptop, and iTunes on the other. Possible?
With extended desktop, it appears that I can only have one application presenting at a time. Sort of defeats the purpose of having multiple displays.

Please help. I have transferred my iTunes library from one external hard drive to another plus added additional music now I have duplicates of the same music in many albums. How do I delete the duplicates without going through them one by one which would take forever? I understand how to get the "show exact duplicate" feature up on iTunes but, because they were added to the library on the exact day I can't seperate them I'm that manner. So each duplicate is right next to eachother in the exact duplicate screen.
My DeDuper script is designed to help clean up. See this thread for background.
