Ok....... here's 50+ hours of bull put into a few sentences...
56+ HRS AGO
200 GB iTunes library resides on Time Capsule 🙄
Time Capsule 2 days ago decided to **** the bed 😡
Called
no help - read some 😕
Pray'ed to Disk Utility - read some more 😱
Called.... Still no help. 🙁
Went to work where there is an XServe
On the way to work, called..... told them I was voiding the warranty and asked for advise on salvaging data...... they told me to take it to the Store to be replaced...... Again, Still no help.
long story short, used XServe Bay / DiskWarrior to "recover" drive.... mostly... phew..
Went out and bought a 2 TB Studio whatever IIVI with Raid 1 so this will (crosses finger) :hopefully: never happen again 🙂
Attached is a picture of where I am at for your amusement
After screwing around with itunes for a while, I consolidated the library...... or so I thought...
I have two drives
Zac's Time Capsule 🙂mad🙂
MyBook 🙂))
FASTFORWARD to 24 hrs ago
NOW here's the issue...
When Z's Time Capsule is plugged in, all my music plays (duh)
Not all the music (LINKS) AFTER I Carbon Copy Cloned the old to the new and remigrated, reconnected, reconsolidated whatever the hell else you want to say, points to the MyBook
So now I have a situation where some music LINKS resides on the MyBook (I'd say 80%) and the rest on the Time Capsule.....
Keep in mind I did check and ALL the music is there...... the links just don't point to the right place.....
ALSO: when trying to consolidate to the mybook, I get an error 75% of the way through about permissions..... used iRepair AND batchmod to make sure everything was R/W to me AND admin (same but whatever) so I simply just cannot consolidate it....
ok.... so at this point your either laughing or saying he's 😛 screwed,
Do I: (starting over unfortunately isnt a great recommendation with over 100 playlists....... im picky sorry)
1) (just because I like testing my limits as you can tell..... :sarcasm🙂
Copy the iTunes folder to the mybook and then go into itunes and 😕 repoint the directory let it hopefully update and trick it into thinking its the same drive?
2) Repoint everything back to the Time Capsule and then make a new folder on the mybook and THEN reconsolidate again?
3) :insert suggestion here:
4) just say 😡 it and redoeverything over (last ditch attempt)
Thanks everyone in advance,
