Libary will not find Extenal Hard drive

Post by JasonJRoche » Mon Apr 13, 2009 6:36 am

I have most of my music in my external drive but it will not let me locate this in the search, it worked fine on live 7? I have tried re starting mac with exd pluged in and also ejecting and putting in. Anyone know if this is a bug or am I doing something wrong?
:cry:
Thanks

sorry

your mac wont find it or live wont find it ?

if it shows on your mac then you must be able to find it in your live browser :)

Hi Jason,

please clarify: are you unable to set the library folder to the external hard drive, does the external hard drive not show up in Live´s browser, or are you unable to select folders from the drive in the "missing files/search folder" window?

Thanks,
Jörg

Hi, The external drive does not show up in live's browser at all.
I wasn't sure if I was doing something wrong but in my 7 demo it worked fine I just clicked on desktop in the browser and it was there?

Thanks for the help

nah, it´s not under 'Desktop', select 'All Volumes' from the bookmarks menu in Live´s browser.

Best,
