[QUOTE="chscag, post: 1341590, member: 46727"] First of all, if the external drive is formatted to NTFS, the MBA will be able to read from it but not write to it. However, if the drive is formatted to FAT-32, the MBA will be able to read and write from it. In either case, nothing will happen to the drive or your files unless you tell the MBA otherwise. As far as iTunes on the MBA is concerned, there is no music library unless you tell it where the library is located. You can of course move all the music to the MBA (not a good idea because of limited space) or just keep it on the external. Why don't you tell us what format the external is using and we can go from there. And Welcome to the Mac Forums. [/QUOTE]
