[QUOTE="MacInWin, post: 1809828, member: 396914"] I cannot speak for Lightroom, I don't use it. But for iTunes, the answer is yes, you can put the database on the external. Open iTunes, then Preferences and look under Advanced for the full path to the iTunes Music database. Now go there in Finder and copy that database to where you want it on the external. Now go back to iTunes/Preferences/Advanced and Change... to point to the new location. Test that it works well, then you can delete the original location. You may be able to do something similar in Lightroom. Make backups before doing any of this so that if it doesn't work, you can restore it as it was before you started. [/QUOTE]
