Okay,

Here’s the deal.

I want to completely transfer all of my iTunes library from my Mac 
hard drive to an external 4TB Western Digital Mypassport drive.  I 
went to the advanced tab under iTunes prefs and specified the location 
to which I wanted the transfer to happen.  The path I specified is 
called Data Disk.  The actual path I specified was
Dada Disk/External Audio but that didn’t seem to do the trick.  So, I 
manually made a folder inside the Data Disk/External Audio/Music 
folder called iTunes.  Now, I retransfered the path to
Data Disk/External Audio/Music/iTunes and thought that did it.  But, 
when I went to stream content to my third gen Apple TV, all I got was 
a notice that said, “no content found in this library”.  >From this, I 
gather that for some reason, my third gen Apple TV was still looking 
at my Mac instead of the external drive.


So, after all that, my questions.

1.  What did I do incorrectly?

2.  IF the way I did it was not correct, (I have to assume I made a 
mistake somewhere.) what should I have done?


Thanks.

Re: issues transfering iTunes Library

2017-02-16 Thread Tim Kilburn 
Hi,

the easiest thing to do in my opinion would be to go to your finder, press 
cmd-shift-h to open your Home Directory, open the Music folder and navigate to 
the iTunes folder.  Copy the iTunes folder with cmd-c then navigate to your 
external HD, and paste it to there with cmd-v.  Depending on the size of your 
iTunes Library, this may take a while.  Once it has finished, start iTunes 
while holding down the Option key.  This will force iTunes to ask you to choose 
a Library.  Follow the prompts to choose another iTunes Library making sure to 
choose the iTunes folder on the external HD.

This process will make an exact copy of your Library, playlists, Preferences 
and all.  If everything looks good, you can then remove the iTunes folder from 
the internal HD.  The caveat here is that your external HD must be connected at 
all times that you wish to use iTunes with your Mac.  As long as that is the 
case, it will work normally with Apple TV, Home Sharing and all iTunes features.

Later...
