just set it running and it's doing something! can't seer any files being added to the music folder on my homedrive, so i'm assuming it's adding the music to the library and leaving the files themselves on the external. does this mean that when i rip a new cd or purchase music from the ITMS...

thanks gig, still no luck though! may have to copy the whole lot back to my internal hd and run it from there until i work this out. goddam apple! :confused:

Hi There I was running my iTunes library from an external HD, then I upgraded to iTunes 5 today and it's all gone wrong. I've used the option in the preferences pane to iopnt iTunes to the folder on the external drive, but despite a reboot of the programme and then the Mac it's still...

Hi There I installed about 200 fonts onto my G5 iMac (running Tiger) and now I've got a really odd font issue that is driving me crazy. Basically some emails in Mail and some system alerts / text in different software programmes has defaulted to a hideous-looking graffiti-style font instead...

An email I just sent to Steve Jobs in a vain attempt to get something done about my iMac G5, which has spent more time in the repair centre now than it's been up and running... Just don't anyone pay for extended Apple Care. If your machine breaks down you may as well tie your hands behind your...

Guys guys guys! Watchu all complaining about?! More than 2 USB ports would be great, but look at it this way...I'm forced to use a Compaq PC at work - it's only 18 months old, yet it has just 2 USB ports and NO firewire whatsoever. It sucks! Now imagine you have a 3 year old PC (average...

Well, you've sure gotta hand it to Apple! I have a 2 month old G5 sitting here, macked up with RAM and a bunch of extras and yet I still want one! What with Firefox eating into IE's market share, large organisations switching to open source, Longhorn a good 18 months away (and even then a...

Thanks very much for the help - couldn't work out the Safari image display issue in the ned, so I took the easy route and switched to Firefox for my default browser. I thought Safari was slick, but this is even quicker! P-M :)

Hi There I can't be of any help I'm afraid, but I'm having exactly the same problem! Tried all of the preference settings for displaying emails / text and the problems persists. Furthermore, for some reason Safari has decided to stop displaying images, be they photos or artwork on a...

Hi There I recently upgraded to an ADSL line when I got my G5 iMac, so I can have ftp access from wherever I am. I'd like to give some of my friends access to my Mac for file sharing purposes, but obviously I don't want them to be able to access the entire HD, just certain folders for music...

Thanks all - it's gonna be a 17" G5 imac with 512mb RAM, bluetooth keyboard and mouse, airport express. Only downside is the 3-4 week build time... :(

Hi All Need some help - my G3 800 ibook is no more, having accidentally met my foot and the living room floor while running across the room... I'm probably going to have to buy a new computer as my insurance won't cover it, but I'm torn as to what I should go for. I don't tend to use my...

Just wondered if anyone can tell me why an iPod (20gb, gen 2) isn't updating to add news songs from the iTunes music library (v.4, Windows). Every time I hit 'update iPod' it goes through the motions, tells me its updated, but then the new music in the library hasn't been added. any help...

Thanks guys! Gnomo - presumably if I make sure the drive is connected and switched on then I won't have any problems with the library? Cheers!

Hi All - excuse the 'urgent' but I'm off to buy a new Lacie d2 120gb firewire drive in a couple of hours. Basically, by 30gb iBook has run out of space because of the sheer volume of music I have and the most cost-effective option is a new external drive. Question is, can I transfer all of...

Longhorn sounds like a major gamble to me - market dominance is one thing, but maintaining that position once your poorly-engineered product range comes to the end of its lifespan is a whole different ball game. I have to use a PC at work and this week the last few machines were upgraded to...

The message that comes up in IE when I try to connect to the MS Exchange server: Forbidden You were denied access because: Access denied by access control list. I can't visit any other web pages either!

Bit of an urgent one here peeps, would really appreciate some advice.. I'm just about to shoot off to a tradeshow overseas and my office have loaded up AOL onto my iBook for me. The account works fine and I have web access, but I can't use Microsoft Exchange via the web to access my email...

I've gotta say - I tried a theme hack in Jaguar a few weeks back and it totally screwed my system. Had to do a clean re-install :( Stick to the brushed metal! ;-)

Well if you can run an inter-continental ballistic missile with a bunch of PlayStation 2's (remember that story?!) then you can probably run a space programme with a G5! Rip out all those big clunky desks with the cinema screen at mission control and swap 'em for a G5 with twin 24" flatscreens...
