Okay, having spent a couple of weeks trying to work through this (and not finding a similar enough answer via the search) I give up and need some help...
I have a MacBook with a hard drive that is too small to accomodate my growing iTunes library (new Apple TV so number of films increasing).
So.... I bought a new external drive and moved my library to it and this is where my problem now comes...
As it's a USB drive and laptop I don't want to have it connected all the time but it seems that when I unplug and then connect again I have to change the location of the library via preferences to look at the USB again. Just to further complicate things/wind me up even more it looks like it synched with the ATV whilst not connected to the USB drive and therefore removed all the content from the AppleTV - so another all-day synching task
I did find some threads where the general solution seemed to be copying the library back to the laptop then following the "correct" export procedure - I can't do this as there isn't enough space free on the hard drive so I'm a bit stuck.
Any help would gratefully appreciated as I'm getting really fed-up with this
