• Make an
alias to the
iTunes music folder on the external drive.
• Delete the local iTunes folder
• Move the
alias folder to your local music folder and remove the
alias from the folder's name, so instead of your folder being named iTunes alias, it will just be called
iTunes. The folder will still remain an alias folder, but the name of the folder just won't display alias. It will still have the little arrow on the lower left hand corner of the folder, indicating that it is an alias.
• Now open iTunes and it should work perfectly. Just be advised, opening iTunes from the same folder on multiple workstations could possibly corrupt the iTunes Music Library file (the file that stores all of your song information, etc.), messing up your playlists and forcing you to have to possibly reimport all of your music and song information/album art/etc.
Good Luck!
