IPod and itunes external drive

My itunes music is stored on an external drive, but when I open itunes I get a list of files to "MyMachine" which is a lot less the 'account' my external drive - I think that somewhere there must be an old file pointing to MyComputer?

I removed itunes and reinstalled but it has not solved the problem

This causes a problem when I try to sync my Ipod because for some reason I can't synchronize with the external hard drive

Anyone else had this problem, or even better a solution?

Thank you very much

Ian

  • Mini Ipod and itunes

    Hello I recently helped someone with his powerbook from 2006.

    He has a small ipod and wants to get music on this subject. He's already got a lot, but when you plug in the ipod it looks like a USB key with nothing in it except 4 songs, it moves from itunes.

    ITunes opens directly when pluggin the ipod, but there is no music library, one inside, that the ipod does not appear and look like empty

    Someone has an idea of what goes wrong?

    Thank you

    It looks like a USB key with nothing in it except 4 songs, it moves from itunes.

    If you can see songs on iPod using Finderrecords, music files are just "random" files that have been manually added to the iPod in disk mode.  The iPod software does not treat them as songs.

    Songs are loaded onto the iPod using iTunes.  What version of iTunes it works?  It says 'Mac OS X (10.7.5)' in your profile information, but maybe it's not HIS version, because a PowerBook can only run 10.5.8 (at the latest), unless it's a mistake, it's actually a MacBook (Intel processor).  In both cases, this could mean that the iTunes version is not the latest version 12.x, which is a little different from earlier versions.

    I can provide more details, once you confirm the version of iTunes, but to summarize, the first step is to add songs to iTunes library.  Once the songs he wants on the iPod in the Mac iTunes library, it can load songs manually by dragging songs from the iTunes music library to the iPod (as it appears in iTunes).  OR, it can set up Auto Sync to iTunes keep the iPod "in phase" with the Mac iTunes music library (or a selected part of it).

  • El Capitan and the external drive is no longer compatible. Why?

    El Capitan upgrade is complete. Now Mac does not recognize my "WD Book Essential external drive" which is not complete. Tried 20 times. Icon WD Book appeared on the desktop once. Bkup began, it stopped! Time Machine displays "Unable to complete backup" and cannot get the icon to reappear on desktop. Stop Mac, unplugged, used different usb port, different electrical outlets... what else?  The USB cords very well. Y at - it an upgrade of Mac to run the connection? Cannot test it on another computer, none are available. BK in last place on 12 / / 15. Help, please!

    It may be a physical problem with the drive. Try this...

    Launch/Utilities/Terminal and copy & paste this command at the command prompt:

    diskutil list

    Press return.

    If it sees the drive, note the number of the disk (left column) that you want to mount.

    Then enter this command:

    Mount /dev/ (number of disk)

    Put the number without parentheses.

    Press return.

    Also can try

  • Ipod and Itunes synchronization

    Hi - I ripped out all WMP by my CD drive external HARD, with the format of the ALAC. I then added as an iTunes library. Synchronization attempt 4330 songs on my iPod 64 GB Touch tells me that I have 50 GB larger memory. Is there a way to add my songs of the ALAC to iTunes so that I can get all 4330 songs on my iPod?

    Not really because the ALAC is not compressed as much and so the file size of each file is much larger than the ACC, and you can change the compression used for VAC during synchronization

  • 12.3.2.35 on Windows 7 upgrade broke my 5th gen iPod and iTunes all the

    Upgrade to 12.3.2.35 on Windows 7. It worked for about 10 minutes before everything started continuous crashing and apparently broke my iPod classic 5th gen. Now, no version of iTunes will work on my computer and my iPod think there nothing about this (while the investigation of my computer still shows 30 GB in use), and will not even try to sync. Help please!

    For general advice, see troubleshooting problems with iTunes for Windows updates.

    The steps described in the second case are a guide to remove everything related to iTunes and then rebuild what is often a good starting point, unless the symptoms indicate a more specific approach.

    Review the other boxes and other support documents list to the bottom of the page, in case one of them applies.

    More information area has direct links with the current and recent buildings if you have problems to download, must revert to an older version or want to try the version of iTunes for Windows (64-bit-for old video cards) as a workaround for problems with installation or operation, or compatibility with QuickTime software or a third party.

    Backups of your library and device should be affected by these measures but there are links to backup and recovery advice there.

  • Backup hard drives internal and external to separate the partitions on an external drive of a second... ?

    I want to back up an internal hard drive (let's call it 'A') and (B) external drive using Time Machine. Both are 1 TB in size, so I bought a 2 TB external drive and created two partitions (C and D) on this subject, only to receive each backup. So:

    A = internal hard drive

    B = external drive (for "overflow" files)

    C = partition to external drive for backups of A

    D = partition to external drive for backups of B

    My question is, can I set up Time Machine so that A back up C, every time the 2 TB drive is connected, and B backup up to D whenever the two external drives are connected? I thought it would be possible, but at the opening of the Time Machine preferences and selecting D for the first time I get a message saying:

    "You want to stop backup up to 'C' and use"D"instead or back up at the same time?

    If you use the two, Time Machine will take turns backup up to "C" and "D". »

    I wonder if it would just be easier to return to a single partition on the hard disk of 2 TB and have the time machine to perform a backup of everything, that is, both A and B?

    Last question: I'm doing this to improve Yosemite to El Capitan. the operating system affect what I'm trying to get time Machine to do?

    Thank you!

    Use Time Machine to back up or restore your Mac - Apple Support

    I have a non-partitioned device TM backup of your data and your OS disk at once

    If in case you partition and drive "B" needs more than what is on the partition and drive 'A' don't you avoid warning.

    update of the OS is fine, as it will give an output back to a previous TM operating system where you need it, but it is compatible across versions.

  • I copied the folder iPhoto to my 'images' on an external drive and all photos disappeared both external drive and the iPhoto library. Do you know where they are?

    Hello! I have a big problem!

    I copied the folder "Images" that is default in my Mac on an external drive.

    Inside the 'Images' folder, there is the iPhoto folder.

    When I reopened iPhoto, all photos disappeared from the iPhoto library and the external drive. I left alone with very little, very old photos.

    Do you know where my pictures maybe? Photos in iPhoto has also lost all the flags...

    Thank you in advance for the answer...

  • My program and other files on my C drive & external drives seem to be "deleted", but the virus scans show that the real files are still there...

    I use Windows Vista and the antivirus software Kerpersky internet on my Dell laptop. A virus 'seems have wiped my desktop and programs files and the directory of my document files, and index on my C drive and my external drive which was attached when you save.' .. that is the index of the two drives is empty shows that no file already exist...

    Kerpesky worked at the time, but he could not stop the attack. However, Karpersky himself was apparently not affected, and when I run that s Karpersky it scanning readings missing files on the C drive and the external drive as being there but appears to any threat of threats...

    I managed to get my office back in a configuration much earlier using a Windows roll back feature that resets the list of programs and some very old directories and older files, but I can't see the previous desktop, nor my current "desktop", or a 'my document' content etc.

    When I jump into Excel and pick up the last file used, that has been saved on my desktop, it chose upward and able to be re-registered, but if I try to view a list of files via Excel or MS Word, none are found.  Another problem is that my backup disk has got so touched.  I am concerned to recover all my files and also not to overwrite anything on my C drive in the meantime. What are the best tools to solve this problem?

    Thank you

    Peter

    Problem has been fixed.  I had a breakthrough last night when I did a bit of research to specific directories and found that files and directories 'lost' were just 'hidden '. I used the Windows tools to display all the files and directories hidden in the C drive and HARD drive and were able to view each of them to solve my problem.

    Thank you very much

  • Lightroom Workflow with 2 portable external drives and old Macbook Pro?

    I am considering buying two portable external drives 2 to USB 3.0 WD for use with Lightroom.  I save the original photos on the external hard drive, an and save backups of these photos on external hard drive 2.    I have a laptop MacBook Pro older (early 2011) and understand that even if USB 3.0, as my laptop drives will always use only 2.0 because of his age and will be more slow, but still OK in general.  This will be too slow to use Lightroom for my laptop to access photos that are on the external hard drive #1 for editing?  For reasons of speed, to the seller for external drives has suggested that I have first save my photos on my laptop computer, edit them there using lightroom and then then save original photos of external drive (as the teacher) and two external drive (as backup).  He then suggested that I delete photos from my laptop to keep storage here low.  That looks like it would defeat the purpose of Lightroom, and I would say even not sure if links with my changes would remain unchanged.  (I'm new to Lightroom).  The seller said that he was not a user of Lightroom.   Please advise on an appropriate workflow to edit, save, and back up effectively with an older MacBook Pro laptop.

    I worked with images on an external hard drive in the past and have never experienced performance problems in doing so. You can keep your catalog on the external drive as well. In this way, the hard drive can be moved from one computer to another if necessary.

    Animated images from your hard drive of the laptop on the external drive will not lose the settings because all settings are stored in the catalog. If you do all your withdraw in Lightroom and then the program keep track where the images and all settings are retained. But unless you are experiencing a kind of performance achieved by working with your images on an external drive, I do not think that there is no advantage in editing and then get out them externally.
