Trying to move iTunes library from external drive back to computer. Copied everything from external drive, but every song has an original file not found message if external drive not on.
I have an iMac using Yosemite. My iTunes library has been located on an external hard drive. I'm trying to move it back to the computer because I think the external drive is dying. I copied everything from the external drive onto the computer desktop. Then I Reset the iTunes Media folder location in Preferences under Advanced, but I still can't play anything unless the external drive is on. I get a message that reads, "The song could not be used because the original file could not be found. Would you like to locate it? Does anyone know what I can do?
iMac, OS X Yosemite (10.10.3), mid 2011 iMac
