Since 8, no warning when library drive not available - problems result

Okay, so I know they made it "easier" for people to have multiple libraries in 8, but I'm having an issue: sometimes when I start up, I forget to plug in the external drive containing my library. With 7, iTunes gave me a warning message that my library was unavailable. Then, I'd plug in the correct external drive, restart iTunes, and all was fine.
Now, though, I no longer get the warning. Then, when I download something, iTunes automatically changes my library location and puts the file onto my hard drive instead.
How can I stop iTunes from changing the library location? AND, how do I get the file that downloaded onto the hard drive moved into the external library where it's supposed to be?

This question was never actually answered. It's been archived, though, so no future answers can be added.

Since last upgrade I can't sync because the iPhoto library is not available

I upgraded Yosemite, iTunes and iOS. Now neither my iPhone or my iPad will sync. The sync gets halfway through and then fails because "the iPhoto library is not available". I've tried reloading Photos but when I look in the photo section in iTunes all I get is a spinning cursor. How can I get iTunes to recognise that Photos is the place to sync the photo library from? Alternatively, can I skip syncing photos and make the rest of the sync happen?

I think I've worked out how to fix this. I closed iTunes and ran Photos with the Option/Alt key depressed and told it to use the old iPhoto library as the System photo library. This caused Photos to reimport all the old photos into a new Photos library called Photos Library 2.
When I then ran iTunes and connected my iPad, I got a message saying that the photo source had changed and nothing would be synced until I selected the correct option. This did not happen the previous time I ran Photos and imported the old iPhoto library. I'm now syncing using the second Photos library and it all appears to be working.
I suspect that I closed my laptop down during the original conversion of the iPhoto library (thinking it had finished) and this interrupted the process. This time I let it carry on working for four hours before opening iTunes and I suspect that is what made the difference. Of course, I've lost all the photos I added in the last ten days, but I may be able to retrieve them from my backups.

I can not update to itunes 10.4, and when I try manually it keeps saying error f drive not available??

I have tried loads of times to update to Itunes 10.4 but it fails every time and tells me to try and download the file manually then install it but this also fails and keeps giving me a error of "F drive not available"
I have itunes on a removable hard drive on my laptop if this makes any difference
Please help
Thanks

Open a Windows Command prompt, e.g. Hit Start > Run, type in CMD and press OK. Type in SUBST F C:\<enter>
This will map F: to C: until the machine is restarted or you enter
SUBST F: /D at the command prompt. Now you can try uninstalling or upgrading the software again. (If upgrading the software, install the software in the default location, not on the F:\ drive.)

Are you talking about iCloud, iTunes in the cloud or iTunes Match.

WARNING: Type 'SByte' is not available in the public API. Onyx development?

Hello i'm getting the warning WARNING: Type 'SByte' is not available in the public API.
and various other warnings.The problem is that i don't see any code.
Any thoughts?BTW is onyx still under development?
ps:I know that nobody is going to reply so i wonder why i keep asking.

The vSphere client uses some hidden API's. If you perform an action in the vSphere client that uses a hidden API, Onyx will report the "WARNING: Type 'xxx' is not available in the public API." message. This unfortunately limits what you can do with PowerCLI. Some know hidden API's are for tags, cluster EVC mode and for Storage Profiles.
I don't know if Onyx is still under development. Maybe some from VMware can answer this question?

How to deauthorize computer when password is not available ?

how do you deauthorize a computer when password is not available ?.

Hi Chandra
This is not possible using standard PI file adapter capabilities and you can use Scripts for this. You can send email as well from Scripts.
BPM can be an option.
Thanks

3930K - what make RAM, when Samsung is not available?

Sorry, I posted this mistakenly in the software forum.
Are Samsung 1.35v chips the only ones which work reliably? What are people using when Samsung is not available is or available in unsuitably small kits (4gb or 8gb)?

There are several people that use G.Skill Ripjaw-Z 8 GB sticks fully populated without problems, even when overclocked.

This is determined by your carrier. SMS/MMS is a poor man's email and by that I mean SMS/MMS has major restrictions and limitations compared to email but is a cash cow for cell phone carriers.
Upload the video to YouTube when connected via wifi and send the YouTube link via text.

Can I Connect to 4G And LTE with my WIFI IPAD AIR when WIFI is NOT Available? If so, HOW?

If you wish to do this you can use the WiFi hotspot from an iPhone or other phone with this capability.
You can also get a dedicated WiFi hotspot device like MiFi. See here: http://www.novatelwireless.com/products/mobile-broadband-solutions/mifi-intellig ent-mobile-hotspots/

Entire drive not available when finding missing folder

I keep my photos on an external hard drive so I can use Lightroom on my laptop and desktop computers.
I just opened up my catalog on my desktop, and as expected all of the pictures as flagged as missing (since the desktop mounts the external drive as a different drive letter than the laptop). I right-click on the folders and select "Find missing folder", however the dialog that comes up only allows me to select folders in my user directory on my C drive. There is no address bar, and none of my other drive partitions or the external hard drive show up as selectable options.
Here is an example of what I mean..

That's an LR bug which I think only affects Windows systems, and is caused by having too many icons on your desktop (no, I'm not kidding). Workaround/fix is either clean up you desktop a little (or a lot), or you can start typing the path to the external drive in the Folder box at the bottom of the dialog box and all will be revealed.

Network Drives not available in Applications?

Hi,
I have a mcabook pro running leopard and another mac on my network that is not. This other mac has my firewire drive hooked up to it and all my files are saved there. I can access the other computer and drive just fine through the finder but when I am in an application the other computer and the drive are not available when I am trying to open or save a file. Can anyone help? Is there a way to add an icon for my other computer to the dock or to my desktop?

That's a large part of the problem. You have more than one font manager on your Mac. If you're not using Font Book, delete it. Then you need to reset its orphaned database so OS X stops trying to control which fonts are, or aren't active according to that data.
To remove Font Book from the hard drive, follow these steps:
1) Open Font Book, and then its preferences. Uncheck the box for "Alert me if system fonts change". Close the preferences and shut down Font Book. Put the Font Book application in the trash and delete it.
2) Restart your Mac and immediately hold down the Shift key when you hear the startup chime to boot into Safe Mode. Keep holding it until OS X asks you to log in (you will get this screen on a Safe Mode boot even if your Mac is set to automatically log in). Let the Mac finish booting to the desktop and then restart normally.
This will reset Font Book's database and clear the cache files in your user account. The main goal in this step is to remove the orphaned Font Book database from the hard drive. With the Font Book application no longer on the hard drive, a new one cannot be created. Which is what we want.
3) Close all running applications. From an administrator account, open the Terminal app and enter the following command. You can also copy/paste it from here into the Terminal window:
sudo atsutil databases -remove
This removes all font cache files. Both for the system and all user font cache files. After running the command, close Terminal and immediately restart your Mac.

Time Machine external USB drive not available at boot

I have a late 2012 iMac running Mavericks 10.4.9. I use Time Machine with a Toshiba 3TB external drive. The Toshiba drive is usually left powered up. Every time I boot the iMac and try to force a backup, Time Machine reports the Toshiba disk is not available. When I open Time Machine preferences, the Toshiba drive does not show until I power-cycle it and re-select it. Also occasionally it reports that I did not eject it properly. But it NEVER shows in Devices or on my desk top (like a thumb-drive does for example) so I wouldn't know how to eject it anyway.
Any ideas on where I am going wrong?
Thanks!

I also have a MacBook Pro with Leopard. I have a new 500GB Lacie d2 safe external drive that my computer recognizes but Time machine does not. Formating the disk in journaled Mac OS Extended format does not solve the problem. Lacie says they are working on it. Anyone have any ideas?
