Question

I don't get "Choose iTunes Library" prompt window, when I hit "option" key and launch iTunes at the same time (doing this as a part of the process of relocating itunes library to an sd card on Mac)

Hi,

When I click on "option" key and launch iTunes, it just opens iTunes, I don't get the prompt window "Choose iTunes Library". What is wrong and is there another way to get to that window. I just need to complete the process of relocating my iTunes Library to an external sd card.

Thank you!

Press and hold down option as you click the icon to launch iTunes. Keep holding the key down until the option to choose or create a library is presented. If iTunes opens normally close it and try again.

I'm not sure the current version of iTunes likes the library to be stored on an SD card, although that might only be an issue under Mojave.

Thank you for the reply. That’s exactly what I do. I hold the option key, while launching ITunes, and keep holding it, but nothing comes up, expect that the ITunes launches. I just bought this air book Mac, brand new, and the software shows being updated to the latest version...
