Hi Tim,
What I needed to do was to open iTunes from Applications then press
command option down arrow and keep holding the option key. That did it.

. . . what if it were true?

Hi,
It depends on if your original iTunes folder still exists in the normal
location. If it does, then start iTunes with the option key down, otherwise,
if iTunes has been removed from the original location, then all you need to do
is start iTunes. In both cases, you’ll be given a dialog to choose the iTunes
Library, press cmd-shift-c then locate the volume where you’ve place the iTunes
Library and finally select the iTunes folder itself and the OK or Open button
to finish. iTunes will load and everything should be the same as it was in the
original location, including playlists etc.

Hi Tim,
I am finally moving the iTunes library to an external drive. Do you know
what the command is when launching iTunes in this situation?

Hi,
Similar to Jonathan’s reply, what I’ve done is move the entire iTunes folder
from your Home directory to the other location. So, cmd-c the
/Users/My_Username/Music/iTunes folder and cmd-option-v it to whereever you
wish to put it, such as an external HD with more space. Now, when you go to
open iTunes, it will say that it can’t find the iTunes Library at which time
you locate the copied iTunes folder from the dialog and click Choose. This
will automatically fix everything and life will be good. The only concern, is
that you must have the external source turned on when starting iTunes,
otherwise, it will bring up this dialog again.
HTH.

You need to start iTunes while holding down the option key. I believe you can
use commandoption-downArrow todo this, but I am not positive right now. Both
iTunes and iPhoto will prompt you for a library location when double clicking
the mouse while holding down the option key. I expect if you completely remove
your iTunes library folder it will also prompt you for the location of the
library.
Are there the ability to do this from the dock contextual menu also?

there. Can use some pointers, thanks.
