Unable to connect my music folder on an ext hdd to my new imac
Hi,
I have had my iTunes library on an external HDD for a little while now as I use it on both my iMac and my MacBook (when travelling).
Last year my old iMac died and I bought a new iMac as its replacement. I am now unable to connect the original HDD containing all of my music to Music app on the iMac.
Most of my music is not through iTunes, it’s almost all my downloads from many years back.
I have tried to
1: open the Music app with the option key, choose library, located the folder containing my library, but unable to ‘choose’ as it’s greyed out. The only option is to cancel.
2: open the Music app, go to preferences - files - change music media folder location - located folder containing the library - open - okay. Nothing changes.
Is there something else that I should be doing? I’d really appreciate any advice please
Thanks all
