I agree with chris here. I wonder though if you can log into your main host via HTTPS or something like that so that you could log into your machine or storage device and still have an active host or directory structure for itunes.
hmmmmmm will look into this. Going back to my work as an IT engineer from a windows (picks up bin, spits "Ding") standpoint, logging into a host whilst on the road can be achieved so that you can gain access to data there and then. it's what's used by us IT specialists for dialing into dying systems to fault find before we arrive or to perform instructions to set up emergency server actions. like win server 2003, etc. YUCK! it's been a while lol but I'm sure if you set up your storage system (NAS) with say a mac as a connection, you could connect directly, setting up your MBP itunes directory to connect to "Source directory of NAS" if possible. lew On 3 Jan 2012, at 19:43, Marlaina Lieberg wrote: > Ok, so if I launch iTunes and I'm away from home, when I return I must change > the library location each time after I've been somewhere?
