I have been searching for someone else who has done this, but any search turns up dissimilar examples.

I have a cMBP. Prior to last week, it was was running 10.8.5 with stock 500G HDD. I put in an SSD, which was setup to use 10.9.1, and I put the HDD into the optibay. What I want to do is point the slow/non-speed items to the HDD. For example, my Downloads and Documents directories are pointed there.

What I want to do is point the 11.1.4 iTunes running on the SSD/Mavericks, at the library on the HDD, which is currently setup to run under 10.8.5 No matter what I try, the Mavericks version of iTunes refused to acknowledge the old library exists. I go into advanced settings, and point the iTunes media folder at the old iTunes library, I tell it to organize, proactively select to organize the library, etc... and 11.1.4 does nothing. No files appear, nothing is ever actually done to read/recognize the library.

Any suggestions would be appreciated. One would think that importing/reorganizing a library from an older version, etc... would be a pretty standard thing, but everything is written towards relocating an existing library, not working with an old one.
