After yet another portable hard drive turned up its toes (the third, two of which were FireLite, one a Maxtor One-Touch desk-top item) my music collection resides solely on my iPod.
Could someone please tell me how to direct iTunes to the Music folder on my new external drive? When I try to open the programme, it just says the iTunes folder can not be found and closes immediately...
An Apple Store guy did this for me once before, but it involves making an alias/shortcut or somesuch that I do not understand, so idiot-proof one-step-at-a-time instructions would be appreciated...
Since my iBook has a relatively small HD, the only way to keep my 43GB of music is on an external drive, but iTunes looks for the library on my first defunct drive, so I need to fool it into using the newest one...
If anyone has suggestions regarding how to rescue three dead drives, I'd be delighted to hear them...
The Maxtor is Firewire/USB, the two FireLites both Firewire... I can hear them spinning up but the computer simply doesn't see them...
