Set-Up: Mid 2010 27” iMac, 2.93 GHz Intel Core i7, 2Tb, 12 GB Ram
Migrated from OSX10.6.8 to Yosemite 10.10.5
iTunes 12.3.1.23, iTunes media files & library is on an external G Tech 4 Tb HD
Media files 99% video = approx 1.56 Tb
Problem: Over the last 6-8 weeks, iTunes has become erratic.
Normally I open/start iTunes and it will run just fine serves Apple TV via ethernet
However iTunes has started to “break” - when I start iTunes it will frequently report “iTunes Library 2015-0x-xx” is not a valid library, and will mark it damaged and start a new empty library file - loosing the link to all my media. I’ve had enough practice, I can now re-link the media quickly, but it has become very annoying.
So now, before i re-link all the files again, I want to check all the options and make sure I have everything organized as it should be.
A) I see there is an update available for iTunes 12.3.2 - anyone with experience with this?
B) I’m wondering if I should ditch Yosemite & move on to El Capitan.
I hesitate because I have mostly older versions of various apps ie CS3
(BTW Everything ran perfectly under 10.6.8 - I still have it, maybe I should move back?)
I’m wondering if the iTunes library files should be on the boot drive?
When iTunes creates a new library database, it puts it on the external HD along with the Media files, but not always in exactly the same place, ie. it is now located - External Drive/iTunes Two/Reserved iTunes Files/iTunes Library 2015-12-18
it was located at . External Drive/iTunes Two/Previous iTunes Libraries/iTunes Library 2015-11-11.
Is there a preferred organized layout?
My fall back may be to set up my old G4 running Snow Leopard to handle iTunes, and just leave it running constantly - have to buy another new UPS
FYI - I generally shut down each night due to less than solid electrical power and sometimes erratic internat. Previously I’ve lost some equipment to power surges & lightning.
Anyway, I’d like to hear your suggestions/recommendations
