Re: [apple-iphone] Disappearing Music

 

It would be hard for me to keep my iTunes datafiles on my boot partition, since the partition is about 165 GB, the drive is 250 GB and the datafiles are about 340 GB.

I didn't suggest you should store all your datafiles on your boot drive. But — how large are those 2 files I referenced — the *library* files?

The iTunes video collection on my *external* drive (a partition of a 2 TB drive, connected by Thunderbolt 2) is 212 GB, but the "everything else", on my 512 GB internal SSD, is "only" 89 GB:



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.
