| has anyone tried playing an itunes library (on an ext. HD) on a newer mac with imusic? thanks! | |
| will my itunes library on external HD play on the newer Mac music app? I asked on the apple user forum. apparently the answer is that the 'music' app should work fine with my 'iTunes Library.itl' file - but that if not, there are fixes. I'd still like to hear from people who've done it though. | |
| will my itunes library on external HD play on the newer Mac music app? @grinnell: I don't want to import anything to the (hypothetical) newer mac - I just want my 'itunes library' (which is on a HDD) to show up in the 'music' app when I connect the HDD to the (hypothetical) new mac. I'm kind of hoping someone here's ... | |
| will my itunes library on external HD play on the newer Mac music app? oops. the link's about importing files (not what I want to do), but your "Open up the Music app, go to Preferences, then select Files. Add your external drive as a Music Media Folder location" is probably the answer to my question. thanks again. | |
| will my itunes library on external HD play on the newer Mac music app? thanks @yage. that's encouraging, but... I'm not looking to import files onto the new computer's HD, just want it to play the files on my external HD the same way itunes does on my existing mac. | |
| will my itunes library on external HD play on the newer Mac music app? I understand that itunes doesn't 'own' the library. when I connect my HD to my older itunes-containing mac, it shows up in the finder as 'itunes library'. my question is whether the newer macs, which no longer have itunes, will 'see' the library a... | |
| loud intermittent pops from DAC, possibly related to long USB cable from computer thanks for your input! | |
| loud intermittent pops from DAC, possibly related to long USB cable from computer @carlsbad you were right: the active extender must've gotten damaged when I reconfigured the stereo. on the advice of the guy at Benchmark, I got a 25' USB cable instead of replacing the extender cable; he said spec for USB is 15', but they'd used... | |
| loud intermittent pops from DAC, possibly related to long USB cable from computer @carlsbad: thanks - that's about the only thing that makes sense. I'll wait a bit, but if the problem persists, I can get another active extender cable for ~ $20 from amazon; if that doesn't help I can just return it. | |
| Problem duplicating my external HD onto another one @jbs thanks for the suggestion. the reviews of the mac version of teracopy are really negative, but I'll definitely check out more mac-friendly applications that do the same thing. | |
| Problem duplicating my external HD onto another one @noromance breaking up my itunes library would be a major PIA, and since I'm able to do this action with other drives, not worth the trouble@fuzztone I was able to transfer the files using a different source to 2 different HDs, each of which has i... | |
| Problem duplicating my external HD onto another one @tom6897 the problem SSD is western digital. I had another copy on a seagate HDD. I was able to transfer that copy to a 2nd western digital. @danager I can't skip the file; it automatically aborts, doesn't give me that option. each of the 3x I tri... | |
| Problem duplicating my external HD onto another one @fuzztone: I tried to copy it to 3 different drives with no luck. I was able to transfer to one of those drives using a different source, so I think it's the HDD I'm trying to copy. it's solid-state, if that tells you anything.@cd318: I didn't hav... | |
| Problem duplicating my external HD onto another one I have a mac (OS 10.13.6). I did see something online about software for copying HDs - maybe I'll go back, try to find the link, try that. thanks. | |
| Problem duplicating my external HD onto another one I did try restarting - no help. thanks! |
