Comments on: iTunes issues – Using one library at home and at work http://gid.rata.com/blog/2009/06/itunes-issues-using-one-library-at-home-and-at-work/ a hearty dose of sarcasm, cynicism and other lighthearted emotions Tue, 30 Mar 2010 15:37:42 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.1 By: Jason http://gid.rata.com/blog/2009/06/itunes-issues-using-one-library-at-home-and-at-work/comment-page-1/#comment-17 Jason Tue, 30 Mar 2010 15:37:42 +0000 http://gid.rata.com/blog/?p=132#comment-17 Irene, For step 10, you would create a personal folder from PC1 or PC2. Then on the other PC, you would choose where to sync that folder to. So PC1 has music in c:/music. You create a private folder called SyncedMusic on foldershare. PC2 has music c:/stuff/music. You would link SyncedMusic to that folder. As for step 10, if you haven't actually CHANGED the location of your music on that particular computer, you don't need to do it. Only if your music WAS in C:/stuff/music and you're now syncing to c:/music would you need to do it. Does that make sense? Irene,

Not having ever used Live Sync before, I was hoping you could provide more specifics in your instructions above. Here's my setup: PC1 has an external hard drive with all my music on it. I've completed items 1-9 successfully. PC2 has music on it's local drive. I've completed items 6-9 successfully. I'm hung up on Item 10. When you say sync your music folders, do I create a LiveSync personal or shared folder for my music from PC1 and PC2? Also, I need further clarification on item #11. What exactly do you mean "to where it is now being synced to"? From PC2, am I supposed to change my iTunes Music folder location to something other than my local drive? I'm clearly missing a key point here. Right now from PC2, I can see all my PC1 music, movies & playlists but can't access any of it. Any further clarification would be much appreciated!
