I currently have my music library on a Time Capsule along with several other folders/files. Specs for the rest of the system are right below the badge. This works fine since iTunes 11 even tells me when the drive isn't available. Here's what I would like to do. It should be simple but I can't seem to find a solution that works.
I would like to silently mount the iTunes folder (no Finder window open on the desktop) automatically when logging into my account or ideally as part of a larger Automator workflow that launches iTunes. I think I have everything working except the silent mounting bit. Can't seem to find a good description that my brain cells can comprehend.
Long term I'd like to assure that guests using iTunes can't bork with my library (or other things on the drive for that matter).
Be aware of two limitations:
1. When suggesting Terminal scripts remember my phobia. Simple directions please.
2. Adding an alias to the share dies't silent mount the share when added to login items.
Any help greatly appreciated
