Hey guys, so here's the situation
I'm moving to uni next month and want a bit of help with sorting some silly little bits out with my computer set up - probably really obvious and I'm just missing them but still - someone else's thoughts would be appreciated.
I've got myself a healthy itunes library (just short of 30gig all said and done - a combo of purchased iTMS music and self ripped CD's) living in the default directory on my iMac at home.
I've got a large number of regularly used documents (probably a couple of gig, maybe a bit more?) that I need access to.
And a large iLife collection of files - mostly in iPhoto (several gigabytes)
I'm looking to keep these on an external hard drive in future (USB2 - several hundred gig) so that I can transfer between the iMac at home, and my Macbook at uni as seamless as possible.
Well I've found the file locations, I'm just wondering is it possible to make iPhoto and iTunes look in an external hard drive for the relevant files, and if so how easily?
The other side of things is does Front Row look at iLife for it's files, or does it look in a particular location?
Any thoughts on the whole thing much appreciated. Not really sure where to start. I have .Mac but obviously this isn't pracitcal for things on this scale.
