[QUOTE="chuckalicious, post: 248574, member: 14875"] Okay, I have been trying to move my iTunes library from my iBook HDD to a network hard drive. By following the Apple documentation, I'm supposed to check the preferences to say "keep iTunes folder organised", then change the location of the library to the new location. Then I go and consolidate the library. It then copies all the files over to the new network HDD. As far as I'm aware that's all I needed to do, but no, when I go to play a track from iTunes, it's still playing it from the local HDD..... what am I doing wrong? I ended up having to just copy all the files over to the network HDD, and then re-add them all to my library, hardly the best way to do it. Also, is there a way to update the library if someone adds something else to the network drive, so that any iTunes accessing the drive can play the new tracks? Thanks all [/QUOTE]
