Re: [apple-iphone] Disappearing Music

 

I also keep my iTunes library on an external drive, Drobo (RAID) to be exact, and point iTunes at it. No, I do not back it up.

My iTunes *library* is a few MB only, and is in my home directory where Apple put it.

/Users/jimdoc/Music/iTunes/iTunes Library.itl

/Users/jimdoc/Music/iTunes/iTunes Music Library.xml

My iTunes *datafiles* are located both on a (backed up) external drive (movies, TV shows and the like — multi-GB files) AND on my main drive (everything else).

Done properly, iTunes finds both kinds of items without problem, as long as the external drive(s) are connected.

Have you tried the highest rated email app?

With 4.5 stars in iTunes, the Yahoo Mail app is the highest rated email app on the market. What are you waiting for? Now you can access all your inboxes (Gmail, Outlook, AOL and more) in one place. Never delete an email again with 1000GB of free cloud storage.
