[QUOTE="mrplow, post: 626918, member: 38928"] As a one time thing you'll need to plug in your external drive (it'll automatically mount and appear as a drive in finder and on the desktop)run itunes, go into Preferences -> Advanced and change the iTunes Music folder location to point to the folder with all your music in on your external disk. Once that's done you'll need to go to File->Add to library and point at the same folder you set in preferences. iTunes will now build your library which will take a little time depending how much music you've got. That's the end of the one time setup. Everyday use: Make sure external drive is connected before you start your mac you should be fine. Hopefully the drive will mount itself before iTunes loads. ------- What are you trying to do with spaces? Spaces is a virtual desktop. That's got nothing to do with external drives or itunes. Is it that you want to open iTunes in a particular 'space'? [/QUOTE]
