Q: Migrating iTunes Library to external drive
I have been trying to migrate my iTunes library to my 'WD My Book Live' on my network.
I followed the instructions here http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1449?viewlocale=en_US&locale=en_US
But 2 things are happening.
1. I cannot delete my original library. I pull it to trash but then when I start itunes its back again albeit very small
2. When I check my preferences to see where the directory is its on my NAS but in iTunes im prompted to download all my items from the cloud -
3. The iTunes library on my NAS is 26 Gb - so wheres my stuff if I'm being prompted to download it all?
Take into consideration that my library is 26Gb and i've been waiting for about 12 hours for this to compete I assumed all my items would have copied accross.
Where are they why am I being asked to download them again (26Gb is a **** of a lot)
Any help or guidance would be greast - but I'm scratching my head as this should really be a seamless process either:
Copy everything - job done
or create a new structure and then download everything from the cloud
Please help.... normally Apple stuff is so simple!!!!
