Hi All,
I am an IT guy so anything IT related in my house falls to me to fix.
Not wanting to offend anyone here (so apologies if I do) but I hate iTunes with a passion and whenever my wife asks me to look at an issue my heart sinks. I have put of this issue for about 4 months and ignore it any longer I cannot.
So I have a synology NAS that I have a share setup on there which is mapped to the laptop as the I drive (I for iTunes... Get it... Genius!).
A-n-y-w-a-y.... My wife went to use it (yes 4 months ago) to update playlists on the 7th circle of hell that iTunes and all the tunes in the library were greyed out, this is when the laptop was handed over to me and I was asked to fix it.
With the little knowledge I have of iTunes I went to check the library location and that had changed to a local drive location - weird!
I (need to take screen shots of this but do not have them to hand at the moment) then found a setting that showed local iTunes library and Shared(NAS) library.
Turns out some of the tunes on the NAS share (about 10) out of 100s or 1000s of my wifes music was greyed out.
The local iTunes library had more but would say 50% were greyed out so it looks as they something has went totally down the toilet in terms of configuration.
I am hoping someone on here has more iTunes knowledge than I do and can provide some helpful hints or possible solutions on how to resolve this problem.
I am heading out to the shops (need to buy more gas so I can stick my head in the oven later) and when I come back I will be working on this for the rest of the day or however long it takes (so probably all weekend!)
Please AVF..... You're my only hope!
