[QUOTE="chas_m, post: 1235301"] As I understand your question, you want to make a manual backup of the Music folder in your Users folder. If I read you correctly, you're saying that all the music is already in the iTunes Library, and now you just want to back it up by copying this (or the entire Music folder, whichever) to an external drive. If I've gotten this right so far, I suspect the problem is that your external drive is formatted NTFS. If so, the Mac can read FROM such a drive, but can't write TO it without some third-party help. Or you can reformat the external drive to use the Mac format and avoid the problem entirely. [/QUOTE]
