[QUOTE="Slydude, post: 1490993, member: 131855"] I have my iTunes library on a Time Capsule. Until recently if I launched iTunes before clicking on the Time capsule I would get the dreaded ! that meant iTunes could not find the media. PITA though less so now that they have improved this somewhat. Doing either of the following should fix the issue of the drive not being mounted when you launch iTunes. They accomplish the same thing just slightly differently. Have not used these methods in a while but they should still work. Do either of the following: 1. With the drive connected to Airport mount the drive once (double click it so that it appears on the desktop). When it appears open the Users and Groups preference pane and add it to your login items. It will now mount anytime you log into the account and be ready for iTunes. 2. It should be possible to create an Automator workflow that mounts the drive before iTunes launches and then launches iTunes. I'll see if I can dig that up and test it. If you use iTunes a lot the first method is probably preferable. The drawback is that it mounts the drive every time you log into that account. [/QUOTE]
