Hi all, I have a 64GB Macbook Air, so I don't have room for the music library I had on my 500GB Mac Mini. That library is still stored on my Time Machine backup drive, and I'd like to let iTunes access it from that drive (no, this is not a network-connected drive, just a USB one).
The first question is: how do I do this? The second, stickier problem is that this library is on a backup drive, and all the files there seem to be locked. How would I let iTunes modify the database? Would I need to copy something to a writeable part of the drive? If so, what would I copy, exactly? Or, is there a way to make the TM backups writeable directly? Finally, since the whole thing is copied to an external drive, will the file paths in the old library still work? I spent a *lot* of time tagging tons of files with album, artist, and so on, and I really don't want to lose all that work. Plus, I'd just like access to my music again, and I want to really figure out iTunes12 so I can put up a guide to it. Thanks for any help. -- Have a great day, Alex Hall [email protected] -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "MacVisionaries" group.
