Eric: Try copying your entire iTunes library to the external HD. Then redirect iTunes to the new library via Preferences. See if your iPod will sync to the new library (mine does, but it's a firewire connection, not USB.) This can free up your iBook of a lot of space if you have a large music collection. Obviously this is done by deleting your iTunes library on the iBook.
Remember that without your external drive, you no longer have music/ videos. If you only use your iPod for playback or only view/listen while at home, no problem. ctw On Jan 24, 2006, at 9:40 PM, Eric Hammond wrote: > I have a 160 gig external with a ibook G3 and I';m running 10.4.4. > On Jan 24, 2006, at 9:25 PM, Carl Wimmer wrote: > >> Eric: >> >> You can move your iTunes library to an external HD, then change >> the location in iTunes>Preferences>Advanced.
