Hi,
I'm new here.
Thanks for listening.....
I have OS X 10.4.8 and had iTunes going fine. Nice.
Ok. So I ran into some quirks after upgrading to iTunes 7.
I have read loads of stuff where people have had problems like
mine. I tried to get help but that has led to other added issues.
I am trying to do as Apple support suggested, but do not have the exact instructions, and could not seem to locate them online.
I have cloned my HD to a backup partition.
I have also additionally closed iTunes - to a storgabe partition.
(both on an external drive.) I had 25 GB of tunage and podcasts. Yes, I'm an addict. So everything I need is off my HD on the machine - a MacBook.
Apple says back it all up, the reinstall iTunes. Without getting into every detail and the whole history, I agree.
But how.
Given that I have all the toons and stuff backed up and off my drive.
what can I do to quickly blast iTunes off, then add it.
Then how do or do I add the tunes back? (separate from the app or any associated files, that is)
Any quick n dirties appreciated.
I have a tough day coming up this Thursday, and having some peaceful music and stuff to listen to will make it easier.
I don't presently have a support contract. Well, someone else claims to have signed me up, but when I call, Apple says I don't have one. So I dunno, I just want some tunes and then I will figure it out after the crazy Thursday. Better off by far doing it myself if possible. Although Apple Support ROCKS. :-)
Thanks,
MB:)
