[QUOTE="edcag, post: 1610873, member: 316678"] Thanks, in advance, for any help. I keep my iTunes/iTunes Music folder on an external HD. I want to restore a previous version from Time Machine but the error message is that there isn't enough room on the external drive to do the restore. I could trash some music in order to make room on the external drive but that seems a bit scary. Does it sound as dangerous to you as it does to me? An alternative could be to get a new larger external drive. But, is it possible to do a restore from Time Machine to a new empty external HD? I'd prefer not to buy a new drive so if Option 1 (trash some content and restore from Time Machine) is safe, that would be great. Option 2 - can a restore from Time Machine be executed to a new external HD? If both are possible, which is preferable? What say ye enlightened folks? TYVM - ed [/QUOTE]
