Using iTunes 7 with external hard drive

I just purchased an external hard drive (Verbatim Smart disc) to hold all my music because my library was too large for my iBook. All the music was loaded onto it by the nice people at the Mac store who helped me sort out why my computer was being funky. I launched iTunes and went to the Advanced section of the Preferences to tell it to find my music on the external drive now. But it's not listing any of the music. So it looks like nothing is there, even though the music is all there. Have I missed a step? How do I get it to see my library in its new home? Thanks for any advice!

Thanks for the recommendation. The article was good, but didn't quite address my problem. The article details what to do to copy your library over to a new location on a hard drive. My situation is that my library has already been moved over to the external hard drive. The nice guys at the mac store did that for me and reinstalled my system software when I started having trouble with my computer. So now when I go through these steps to attempt to make my iTunes find the library, it doesn't for some reason. I've followed all the steps and it makes perfect sense, but it's not working. Any other clues?

  • Newbie to MacBook needs help with using Itunes with external hard drive...

    I got a MacBook yesterday. I am trying set my Itunes up but having a big problem. When I try to sync music from my external TB hard drive into Itunes, the music is apparently being copied into the laptop HD and is being synced from there, instead of straight from my TB HD. I WANT the music to sync straight from the external HD and NOT being copied in the Mac HD first and then synced like it is doing right now. I don't want to use the Mac's hard drive because I have limited HD space on my Mac and unlimited external capacity. Can anyone help me in setting this up. i've looked for answers but can't seem to find on here. Thanks for all the help. I love this Mac and this is the only real bump I've had. Thanks again.

    Turn off the option to "copy files to iTunes Music folder when adding to library" is set in the iTunes -> Advanced preferences". iTunes will then just link to the tracks on the external drive rather than copying them to the internal. If you also want future imports and purchases to be saved to the external drive, change the location for the iTunes Music folder in the iTunes -> Advanced -> iTunes Music Folder location preference.
    Regards.

  • Using Itunes with multiple hard drives

    I'm a new mac user and have a 250GB external hard drive with two FAT partitions. They appear as two individual drives to my MAC. Each partition has a lot of music. Its more that one of the partitions can hold. I can access and play songs in itunes by accesing them through the file system on the hard drives.
    I saw the option to point itunes to an external hard drive in the advanced general preferences tab, but it seems to have a limitation of one location/folder. I can't seem to find a way to make itunes aware of multiple folders which could exist on multiple disk. I'm using Itunes 7.02, on MAC 10.4.8. Is there a way to do this, or is it a limitaiton of itunes?

    Jeveland,
    Welcome to Discussions,
    Although iTunes only has one 'iTunes Music folder location', the music can be stored at any location and added to the library.
    The 'iTunes Music folder location' is the location where iTunes stores ripped CDs and purchased music. It does not tell iTunes where your music is stored.
    The locations of your songs are stored in the 'iTunes Library' file.
    Read more about the library files here.
    Uncheck 'Copy files to iTunes Music folder when adding to the library' in Preferences>Advanced>General. Then add your music to the library.
    Hope this helps.

  • Using iPod with external Hard Drive connected to laptop

    Is there a way to use the iPod video and an external hard drive connected to a Dell Latitude D600 laptop at the same time? I can use one or the other but not both. When both are connected using the usb ports on the back of the laptop, the iPod is not recognized, the message pops up saying unknown device. I do have the laptop connected to the power outlet. I have no problem using both when I am connected to the usb ports on the docking station at work, only when I have the stand alone laptop at home. I am using a 250GB Maxtor Personal Storage 3100 hard drive.
    I found an article on CNet that suggested updating the bios and laptop software. I did this and still have the same issue.

    You might have a drive letter conflict.
    Both USB devices might be trying to use the same drive letter, and they're sort of "fighting" with eachother over who gets the letter assigned.
    Try changing the drive letter of one of your devices.
    You can use this article as a reference for changing the drive letter.

  • Can this device be used as an external hard drive with a macbook pro laptop to use files on the airport?

    can this device be used as an external hard drive with a macbook pro laptop and use files on the airport time capsule?

    If you mean an AirPort base station other than the Time Capsule, it doesn't have internal storage.
    If you mean a Time Capsule, its internal drive can be used for regular file storage but shouldn't be; as with all drives, it'll eventually fail. You're better off using a standalone drive and setting Time Machine to back it up as well.

  • How do I move my iTunes music library off my computer and onto Time Capsule, which I want to use as an external hard drive?

    Does anyone know how I can move my very large iTunes music library folder off the computer and onto my fourth generation time capsule, which I'd like to use as an external hard drive?

    This Apple support document may help.
    Do you also plan to use the Time Capsule disk for Time Machine backups?  If so, that approach has problems.  For one, you don't be backing up your music library.  For another, eventually Time Machine will consume all the space on that disk, which will cause problems for your music.

  • Time Machine: Can I use a smaller external hard drive with larger internal?

    Can I use a 250G external hard drive with and 500G unfilled internal drive with time machine? Or will time machine require I a 500G? I don't plan on filling the internal drive for a long time and don't want to buy a new external drive right now.

    Yes, but you are very likely to get in trouble very quickly.
    The problem is that TimeMachine saves multiple versions of any file modified, and if that file happens to be large, you can quickly fill up your TimeMachine drive such that it is throwing away older versions faster than you would desire.
    Also if your boot drive's storage usage gets even close to the 250GB external drive's capacity, TimeMachine is likely to stop working.
    If possible, I would suggest an external drive that is twice as large as your boot drive, or at least 1.5 times larger.
    I guess you could repartition your boot drive so it is smaller than your external disk so you would be less likely to use more space than could fit on the external.
    Personally, my opinion about backups is that much of my data is impossible to replace (family pictures, etc...), and spending money on backup hardware is a small price to pay for securing those memories. I also try to have it backup in more than one location in more than one way.

  • I Mini with an i7 processor. I would like to use Boot Camp to install windows based CAD software on my MAC. Would it be better to use a plugin external hard drive to load my software on and if so what hard drive would you recommend?

    I Mini with an i7 processor. I would like to use Boot Camp to install windows based CAD software on my MAC. Would it be better to use a plugin external hard drive to load my software on and if so what hard drive would you recommend?

    Thank you for your quick response. I can then use a ZIP drive for data storage. I want to keep as much of my hard drive free of data as possible.

  • Does anyone use a LaCie external hard drive with their Mac using imovie '09?  I have some questions.

    Does anyone use a LaCie external hard drive with their Mac using imovie '09?  I have some questions.

    Are you actually having a problem with the new Lacie drive, or are you just asking is the Lacie drive somehow different from your old G-Drive?
    From a connection standpoint, most Lacie desktop drives have both USB and FireWire connections, just like the G-Drives do.  You would connect and use it the same as a G-Drive.
    Regarding capturing to the external HD, if you are using a camcorder that has FireWire (iLink) connection, it is not advisable to have an external FireWire HD connected to your Mac at the same time as your camcorder; there are often communication conflicts between the camcorder and the hard drive if they are connected at the same time.  The conflicts usually appear as either dropped frames or a complete freeze.   This is more common with Canon miniDV camcorders but I have also seen this behavior with Sony miniDV camcorders.  (The problem is the camcorder's FW implementation, not the hard drive.)  The workaround is to capture to your Mac's internal HD and later copy the captured video to your external HD.

  • Issues with External Hard Drives

    I hope this is the right forum for this one - please give me a steer if not! I've also posted it in 'Dock and Finder', but this forum seems equally appropriate, if not more so.
    I'm getting repeated issues with External Hard Drives, including ones that I have been using successfully for months/years, suddenly failing to mount and then becoming 'unknown device' through the firewire branch of 'About This Mac'.
    I've just bought a new hard drive on the grounds that the others had somehow failed, and the same problems are emerging. I decided to Repair Permissions on my iMac's internal drive, and am copying the results below, from repair runs conducted yesterday and today:

    Permissions repair complete
    My concerns are:
    * Some of the permissions repaired yesterday appear to have needed to be repaired again today
    * There are several files which carry a warning that they won't be repaired as they have been 'modified', and some of these clearly relate to disk management.
    Does anyone have any ideas what is going on???
    Thanks!!

    Many problems with the 10.5.7 update have been fixed by a Restart.
    If that doesn't help, something may have gone wrong with the update. Download and install the "combo" update, from: http://support.apple.com/downloads/MacOS_X_10_5_7_ComboUpdate
    If that doesn't help, try running the Apple Hardware Test, on the disc that came with your computer.
    1. Disconnect all external devices (including the Ethernet cable) except the keyboard and mouse.
    2. Insert the "Additional Software & Apple Hardware Test" disc that came with your computer.
    3. Restart while holding down the "C" key. When the list of available startup volumes appears, click Apple Hardware Test and the right arrow.
    4. When the Apple Hardware Test main screen comes up (after a moment), follow the on screen instructions.
    5. If it detects a problem, an error code will be displayed. Make a note of it.

  • Restoring itunes from external hard drive

    -I used WD backup program to store itunes on external hard drive
    -hard drive on mac pro crashed, replaced hard drive
    -trying to restore itunes songsa from external drive and when I copied songs from external hard drive to new internal hard drive which has itunes program, only song titles appear and track number for songs I ripped from CDs. All info is present for songs I purchased from itunes (why is there a difference in the way these two are restored???)
    -Can I restore itunes from external drive so that artist and album are associated with each song title I ripped from CDs?
    Much appreciate all assistance. Thanks.

    I know MP3 and AAC save tag data, and I believe AIFF does as well (if you want to keep them in full-quality but space-greedy format). I don't think WAV supports tagging which is why they were lost. Read:

    This time make sure you have a complete backup of your itunes folder (which, in fact you may still have). That way you can recover your complete library and everything intact (as long as you keep your backups up to date).

  • Can ipod be used as an external hard drive?

    Can the 80 GB ipod be used as an external hard drive if a certain section is partitioned? I bought the ipod with the most space for this purpose, for my music and a portable HD.
    What is the RPM on ipod HD?
    What is the best way of using the ipod as an external HD but at the same time making it compatible with itune for transferring music?
    Thanks.
    Dorian

    It is not recommended that you partition the iPod hard drive.
    You may render it useless as a music player if you do.

  • Can an Apple Time capsule be used as a external hard drive?

    Hello I have a 4th Generation time capsule and I've had it for some time now and never used it and I was wondering if it could be used as a external hard drive instead of just a back up disk. Also I am planning to install a copy of Windows 7 on my Mid 2011 21.5" iMac and I was wondering if Windows would recognize the TC as a external hard drive and would alow me to use it as such.

    It is not an external hard disk.. you cannot use it via USB if that is what you mean.
    It is now and forever more a Network drive. You can store files on it as a network drive.. with the following provisos.
    Store files on the TC.
    https://discussions.apple.com/message/24380694#24380694
    This is asked several times a day.. obviously people are struggling with their latest SSD being too small.
    The TC is not suitable for network file server.. but many people having no choice press it into service as such.
    It cannot be partitioned. It was and is and ever shall be a backup device for Time Machine.
    Major issues.
    1. No backup.. no way Time Machine can backup a network drive. No place to backup to.. So all your files will be at risk. And you will need to buy a third party like CCC to do backup.
    2. The TC cannot be partitioned and mixing TM backups and data is not great.
    3. The drive is slow to spin up and quick to spin down.. there is no controls.
    4. iPhoto in particular can easily corrupt its entire library with wireless networking causing a disconnection to one photo. Even if you do this;;; do not move your photo library... you have been warned!!
    5. iTunes will constantly lose connection to the library. The disk is too slow to respond.. itunes on the computer will constantly spit out errors. Even in the midst of streaming the TC can spin down the disk due to caching.
    6. Do not use any live files on the TC no matter what else you do.. if you edit files in whatever program the file must be on the local hard disk.
    7. The only suitable location for most libraries is a computer. You can plug in an external hard disk.
    Read pondini for some work arounds.
    Q3 here. http://pondini.org/TM/Time_Capsule.html
    Windows can also use the TC for files. Much the same warnings apply.

  • Possible confliction with external hard drive?

    Hi guys, I'm sort of new here, but I could really use some help.
    I love my iPod (30 gig Video), I've had it for just over a year, but last week it all of a sudden started screwing up on me. I'm sorry it's such a lengthy explaination, but I haven't been able to find help anywhere else... If you don't feel like reading it, essentially my iPod seems to be conflicting with my external hard drive.
    I keep all my music on a 150gb external hard drive since my laptop's 30 gigs barely has any room left over with all the programs and photos I have on it. iTunes has worked fine in the past with playing/syncing music from an external hard drive but all of a sudden it's decided that iPod and Hard Drive don't mix.
    When I have my hard drive plugged in by itself, everything is normal, and iTunes can play the music fine. Though once I plug my iPod in, iTunes and the whole computer freezes up. I get the usual "Do Not Disconnect" message on the iPod, and it seems to be doing something, but everything on the computer just stops. I can click the start menu, I can click the close button on iTunes, nothing happens... UNTIL I unplug my iPod. Then everything unfreezes and whatever buttons I clicked while the screen was frozen do their appropriate action. If I had clicked to close iTunes it would then close iTunes... If I closed iTunes while the iPod is plugged in (which does nothing), then unplug the iPod causing iTunes to actually close, I get a message saying that the iPod needs to be reformatted to work with Windows and I should restore the iPod within iTunes to solve that problem.
    At the time, I hadn't tried the iPod alone, without the hard drive plugged in (since I keep the hard drive plugged in all the time), so I figured it was a problem with the iPod, rather than a problem with the hard drive.
    So I took the "restore" idea, and went to my friend's computer, which is running Vista. He has iTunes, and his computer is fine. I plug my iPod into it, iTunes opens up, things work great. So the problem didn't seem to be with my iPod. I took the opportunity of having my iPod in a working iTunes environment on my friend's computer, and I restored my iPod, clearing all the songs off of it, which is not really a big deal, since all my songs are on my ext. hard drive anyway. I took my iPod back to my computer, and nothing changed, I still had that problem, and I then realised that the problem only existed while my hard drive was plugged in.
    It was after I restored it that I realised if I unplug my hard drive, and have my iPod plugged in alone, everything works fine. It opens up iTunes, it's recognised by My Computer, things are normal, except for the fact that I can't do anything, since all my music is on my ext. hard drive, so I get to look at a whole library of songs with little exclaimation marks beside them. Syncing didn't do anything except transfer the handful of songs from my library that AREN'T located on my external hard drive to my iPod, and of course, once I tried plugging my hard drive in... frozen.
    I managed to figure out that if I started iTunes with my hard drive plugged in (so iTunes would know that the songs are in the right location), then unplugged the hard drive, plugged the iPod in (so iTunes would recognise it), then plugged the hard drive back in, things would work alright, though when I tried syncing it, it went painfully slow and stopped after about 3 albums, and this process hasn't worked since, it just freezes up again.
    I know I could just copy songs slowly to my computer, and sync them to my iPod from the computer rather than the hard drive, but that would take ages, and I'd like to have the problem fixed rather than to have to go through that process any time I wanted to change what's on my iPod.
    So that's my problem. I've followed the "5 R's" that the support here seems to swear by, I have tried unistalling and reinstalling iTunes twice, I've uninstalled both iTunes and the iPod updater stuff, and then installed everything clean from the CD that came with the iPod. I've tried renaming the drive letters of my ext. hard drive and my iPod in case there was some sort of confliction there, nothing seems to have worked. I don't think I changed anything with my computer that would cause this change (I ever restored Windows to a date before this problem occurred), and as for the update to iTunes 7.4.1.2, I didn't update it until after this problem started, so it wouldn't have been caused by the update.
    I hope that made sense... If anyone can give me some help as to how I can get my iPod back working on my computer I'd be incredibly grateful and thanks in advance!
    If anyone knows what's going on, it's probably somebody here

    This sounds like more of a Windows specific iPod problem. You may get better responses if you posted it in that specific section of the forums.
