[QUOTE="mrplow, post: 627007, member: 38928"] OS X will mount the external drive on startup, but it might mount it after it's loaded itunes. If you close itunes then restart it does it find the library? If it does the library setup is ok. What you need to do is delay the start of itunes for a little while to be sure the external has mounted. Use Automator: Custom workflow Add a Pause - say 60 seconds - a bit of trial and error needed here Add a Launch - for itunes Save the workflow somewhere Go to Sys Preferences - Accounts - login items. Remove itunes from this list and add your new workflow as a start up item. Try that. You'll need to play around with the delay so that it's enough to allow the external to mount before itunes is launched [/QUOTE]
