Title: Any iTunes experts here? Post by: Black Diamond Vol on January 21, 2012, 07:56:09 EST I'm having a weird problem. When I got a new external hard drive a couple weeks ago, I made it the default location for my iTunes library by going to edit>preferences>advanced>iTunes media folder location and changing it. This freed up about 90G of space on my computer. I haven't had any problems with it up until today, when I tried to add some new files, and it didn't copy them over, instead writing them straight to the C drive. So I went back into preferences and did it all over again (and this is a lengthy ordeal when it has to process 13,000 files). Problem fixed- for about 5 minutes. When I checked back, it had AGAIN changed the default location back to the C drive. I'm currently changing it back, but it's probably going to revert back again. What the hell is going on, and how do I fix it? :confused:

I checked and made sure that wasn't the issue, because when I go to My Computer, it sees it as a writable drive. Anyway, I changed it back again about a half hour ago, and it appears to be sticking this time. I hope it stays that way. :confused: Title: Re: Any iTunes experts here?
