How can i locate all the songs in my itunes library at once?

What happens if you quit iTunes and restart it (with your external drive attached)?

There is some discussion on the problem here.

Huh. @johnpowell‘s link provides info that I’m sure will work.

But, on the other hand, I used to keep all of my iTunes media on an external drive, too. It was pretty much connected all the time, but there were occasions when iTunes was launched when the external drive was unplugged.

There’s been a major release or two of iTunes since then. Mayhaps the behavior has changed. But I never had to consolidate the libraries back and forth.

Regardless, I’m glad @jp found a positive course of action that sounds reliable.

Good luck!

Are you asking why you can’s see your music on an external drive when the drive is disconnected? Hard to give a delicate answer for that one.

majorrich, learn how to read. is that delicate enough for you?

thanks everyone else

Jus plug yer drive in and you will see em all. every time. Unplug yer drive and you wont. Sounds like a blonde question to me.
