ITunes 10 not working with external drive

I am using iTunes 10 on my MacBook Pro..I wanted to move my library to an external drive due to its large size. I correctly created the folder in Advanced Preferences and "consolidated" my library. However, iTunes despite having the correct drive destination is stil looking at/for the old library. Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

Did you move the entire iTunes folder or did you just move your media?
If you moved the entire iTunes folder, the you need to hold down
the option key when you start iTunes. I dialog box will come up
asking to create a new library or to choose a library. Select the chose
option, then select the location on the external drive where the iTunes Library
file is located.
If all you did was move the media, then you need to change the path to
the media in the advanced preferences.

Spotlight not working with External Drive (Wireless)

I have setup the new Airport Extreme (AE) and connected WD 500GB via USB to the (AE). Spotlight does not recognize the external drive when it is connected to the AE. It will of course work if I directly attach external drive to my Macbook Pro. Any ideas on how to get Spotlight to "see" and index this external drive. Thanks.

I was able to get my Airport disk working using the following Terminal command:
sudo mdutil -i on /Volumes/Maxtor\ HD
Replace Maxtor HD with the name of your HD. (The slash indicates a non-breaking space.)
It took awhile and then it started indexing.

Will iTunes 10.4 upgrade (Lion 64 bit ver) Not Work With External Drives Any More?

Since i upgraded my MacBook Pro to Lion today, itunes just cannot play anything without going in to to meltdown. Even short tracks stop and stutter, and movies and TV programs are a no go.
All I get is the dreaded spinning beach ball.
My library is stored on a Firewire 800 external drive as my collection would take up more than my MacBook can hold, but running from an external drive has never been a problem before.
I know the library on the external drives okay, because I was streaming stuff over Airplay to my Apple TV2 half an hour before i did the upgrade, and it was working perfectly.
Does anyone have any idea what this might be or causing it, or how I can rectify it please?
Thank you

Oh yes, I did that several times.
Actually, I think i have found the answer. I think what was happening was that since this was a new iTunes version (and perhaps its moving from 32-bit to 64-bit type program) that it had to re-index it or catalogue it, or something in that vein anyway. I left iTunes open for a couple of hours and the external disk still attached and it now appears to have settled down, and i can report that its now working just fine.
Phew!
Thanks for your suggestion anyway.

Work around for iTunes not working with shuttle

Well, I have found a work around for the iTunes not working the the Shuttle. It is not pretty, and many of you may not choose to follow my lead. This procedure has a lot of dumb steps in it, but in the end, one can copy data/songs to a Shuttle.
It involves removing the current iTunes and replacing it with a version that also had a bug in it.( I told you it ain't pretty).
Procedure:
1. Go to this url: http://www.apple.com/downloads/macosx/apple/ipod_itunes/itunes802forwindows.html
2. Download the old 8.0 version of iTunes for Windows.
3. Remove the current iTunes from your computer. Note after you run the remove utility in Windows, you need to delete the iTune library that isn't removed.
4. Install iTunes 8.0
Here is where it gets dumb.
This version of iTunes has a bug with the USB interface, but there is an easy work around.
5. Make sure the Shuttle is not connected when you launch iTunes.
6. After iTunes comeup, attach the Shuttle.
7. iTunes should see your Shuttle.
8. Select the music you want to upload, and drag it to the Shuttle.
9. iTunes will just sit there, so you need to get its attention. To get its attention you must disconnect and reconnect one of your USB devices, just not the Shuttle. Some folks do their mouse, one used a USB drive, and another on used is GPS because he was working from a laptop and did not have a mouse.
10. In a few moments, iTunes will do its thing and copy your data to the Shuttle. You must do this routine for each copy, so if you develop a Play List, you only have to do step 9 once.
The getting the old copy of iTunes was my idea, but a gentleman from a year ago figured out the mouse step.
I am now a happy camper, my Shuttle is full of music again.
However, I hope Apple finds a fix for the 8.2 problem soon.
Take care all.

I stand corrected on the name. By the time I figured out how to copy the songs I had a few other names in mind.
One of the first things I tried was the Reset utility. After the iTunes restore did not work, I went looking for something else. After using the utility, I connected the iPod and resynced. I had left the Autofill box checked. iTunes autofilled the iPod. I deleted those songs and tried to put a different play list in. It would not copy the songs, iTunes said there was no room even though the play list for the shuffle was empty. I looked at the settings screen and it said the iPod was full. I synced the iPod to my Mac, and that got rid of the "full" indication. That is when I started looking for an older version of iTunes, unfortunately all I could find is a version with the USB bug.

HP 4330s SRS Premium Sound not working with External Speakers

And this is my second topic and rant!
The SRS Premium sound driver doesn't work with USB Speakers.
It doesn't work with Bluetooth speakers either!
In other words it only works with the Laptop speakers.
ARE YOU KIDDING ME!
SRS Premium sound for Deeper Bass and Clear sound enhancement bla bla bla now in you HP Laptop
but ONLY with your LAPTOP SPEAKERS!
ARE YOU KIDDING ME!
DEEP BASS on these cell phone speakers!!! Really???
Why doesn't the SRS Premium Sound driver work with external speakers!
I believe I have used SRS Sandbox before and ALL THE SOUND was directed to that driver and it worked with everything!
WHY DOESN'T YOUR HP DRIVER WORK WITH EXTERNAL SPEAKERS!
Is everyone in HP a bloody RETARD?
FIX YOUR DRIVERS!
End of rant!

Oh BTW {Content Removed: rant} http://www.srslabs.com/landing.aspx?id=693#23
23. Will the SRS Audio Sandbox work with my USB speakers or Bluetooth speakers?
Yes, the current version, 1.6.6.0 will work. If you have a previous version that is not working with these speakers, please upgrade to this version.
Do you have anything else to share with me {Content Removed: rant}

Itunes not working with Vista Home Premium 32-bit

Itumes 10.6.3 version will not work with Vista Home Premium. I have a 32-bit operating system. I'm not sure what to do next. It appears in trying to update it deleted the old itumes, as I can't find a copy of it when I search the computer.

Then I installed Quicktime on its own - still get the same error 'Quicktime has stopped working;
Okay. That will be the source of the iTunes problem. (Without a properly working QuickTime, iTunes won't work correctly.)
Checking on things that can cause QuickTime launch errors now.
Have you at any stage installed any Codec Packs, any copies of the programs QT Alternative, QT Lite or Storm Codec, or any media converter programs that can convert files into QuickTime readable formats?
(I'm checking on these things because depending on the versions of the programs/codec-packs, these can install earlier versions of QuickTime componentry on a PC, which can interfere with the running of a higher version of QuickTime.)

JSP Not Working with Thin Driver

My JSP is not working with Oracle thin driver but it is working with Oracle OCI driver.
From my jsp i am calling a stored procedured and passing 170 parameters to the procedure. This JSP works with Oracle OCI Driver configured as thrid party drivers in iAS6.0 SP2, but not working with Oracle Thin Driver configured as third party drivers in iAS6.0. My thin driver JDBC Connection URL is as follows:
jdbc:oracle:thin:@(DESCRIPTION =(ADDRESS_LIST =(ADDRESS = (PROTOCOL = TCP)(HOST = MAPDBI01)(PORT = 1521)))(CONNECT_DATA =(SID = MAPS))).
I have to give this URL because my production server deployment consists of iWS4.1 SP5 and iAS6.0 SP2 in different solaris boxes and Oracle 8.1.7 Database server in another Solaris Box. There is a pool of proxy servers between iAS6.0 box and the oracle box.

Wim,
I'd really appreciate it if you could provide some sample code. A complete, small, simple java class that I could copy and try out would be wonderful -- if it's not too much trouble.
Thanks heaps (in advance :-),
Avi.

Line-in not working with new driv

Has anyone else had issues with the line-in jack not working with new drivers? Is there a way to get it to work??Very frustrated. Is there a link to the beta drivers, they worked better for me then the new one.

The line input on the mini requires a 'line-level' signal, so the only microphones that work are ones that have an amplified output. Standard mics don't generate enough voltage to drive the mini's amplifiers.
That's the reason the mics work with the Griffin device (it has an amplifier) but not the mini directly.

Converted home videos to itunes not working with ipod touch

So I finally was able to convert some home movies to itunes but now they will not work with my ipod touch. I get a error message saying "can not be played on this ipod". I also can't get the movies to work with my ipod video (classic) either, how do I fix this? And yes there is enough space for the videos.

if the files are in iTunes, select one (or all) and choose +create iPod or iPhone version+ from the advanced menu. try syncing the newly created file(s) to your Touch.
what happens ?

HD Led not working with SATA drives on MSI K7N2 Delta

I noticed the HD led does not work with the SATA drives on my MSI K7N2 Delta ISLR
I confirmed that the led is not burnt out by reconnecting a spare IDE HD with XP on it to IDE 1 and the led worked when there was activity, but it does not work when connected to IDE3 or if the SATA drives are connected to Serial 1 & 2.
Could it be because the motherboard doesn't support and hdd led for the Promise SATA controller.
I had Bios v7.3 and flashed to v7.4 with no luck.
Could a new bios update fix this problem?
Anybody seen this before?

basically it not wired up so works for no one

Not booting with external drive attached after itunes 10 installed.

Since installing itunes 10, my computer will NOT boot into Mac OS X with the external drive attached. It consistently freezes at a grey screen with the apple logo.
If the external drive is powered off, it will boot normally - but slowly. Anyone else with this glitch?

Try opening the Startup Disk panel of System Preferences and redeclaring the startup disk. You could see this behavior if your Mac isn't sure what device to use for booting.

ITunes not working with new iPod

After recently getting a new iPod, I cant get it to work.
The problem is no tin the iPod, Im sure of that. The problem occurs with any iPod on the system.
The problem is that when the iPod is plugged in, it recognizes it, but not as an iPod. At first we thought it was because of other USB devices on the computer, and removed them. One of the devices was an external hard drive, which has all of my iTunes music on it. We moved the external drive to a different networked computer, and made it a network folder. That way we can access all of our iTunes music from a different computer.
That works very well...All of our music can play fine, but the iPod is still not recognized. It says that the firmware on the iPod is corrupt, and asks if we want to restore it. Click yes, and we get error 1418.
How do we fix this?

hmmmmm. you're not getting the classical symptoms of the following issue. but since the PC is networked to other drives, we'd better check on the possibility from the following document:
Windows confuses iPod with network drive or hard drive and may keep iPod from mounting or songs may seem to disappear

New version of iTunes not working with itunes library

I installed the new iTunes 8.0 and now when I try to open iTunes, I get an error message--"the file itunes library.itl cannot be read because it was created by a newer version of iTunes." What does that mean, how can i make iTunes work with my new Nano?

I have I tunes on both the laptop with WindowsXP and on the
newly acquired Desktop, HP Q 8200 with Vista 64.
For the latter I have downloaded the latest recommended
version for Vista64, but even though I can see the imported
and saved ( on an external hard drive) play list I can not
play them. When I click on them on this new Vista 64
empowered Desktop, nothing happens.When I click on
Beethoven folder ( which contains many creations by
composer) I can see nothing in the right panel regarding
the overture, for example.
On the laptop I have exactly the same play list and all
works fine there.
Audio is OK, because when I go to the I-tunes store with
the desktop, I can listen to the songs.
Any solutions????
