Julian B Posted January 18, 2016 Share Posted January 18, 2016 My iTunes is configured in the way described in Kirk's article: http://www.macworld.com/article/2996002/streaming-media/how-to-set-up-an-itunes-library-on-a-network-attached-server.html My library file is on my mac, the media is on my NAS. My NAS died and I am no longer using it. Fortunately I had my media backed up and have restored it to a different external drive (not a was). How do I tell iTunes to look to that new external drive? If I follow the steps from Kirk's article again, I think it will try to copy from a source that no longer exists. I simply want to tell iTunes that the new location has all the files in the expected folder structure. Any help is appreciated. Link to comment
kirkmc Posted January 18, 2016 Share Posted January 18, 2016 iTunes should scan the new location, and, finding all the correct files, simply update the paths for the files. If you've set iTunes to organize that folder, then it should simply leave all the files where they are, after you select the new location. I write about Macs, music, and more at Kirkville.
