hello, I hope you are still there!  I'm using my macbook pro but my music library is on an external hard drive.  The software is Apple Music, version 1.2.3.56    I've had lengthy conversations with Apple with no results.   I have playlists from many years and they work on my ipad and iphone.  I used to be able to double click on a play list on my computer and the playlist would start playing.  This doesn't work. Also, if a click on one song when it finished, it doesn't continue to the next song.

Hi Ellie!

Sorry for the late reply. If this the case have you tried turn the sync library off and turn it back on again? If not here are the steps.

  1. Open the Apple Music app.
  2. From the menu bar at the top of your screen, choose Music > Preferences.
  3. Go to the General tab and select Sync Library to turn it off.
  4. Then Turn it on again.

Please advise me if this helps. I will be standing by for your response.

My music library seems to be called ITUNES still.  It is located on an external hard drive.  I have not done any syncing recently.

Posted
Customer

I need to have any idea when you will be writing to me since I can't just sit at the computer.  I need to go now for 10 minutes but can be back.  It's 7:53 in Los Angeles.  Where are you located?  When can we both be here at the same time i HOpe?

Posted
Customer

If we are on totally diferent time zones then maybe someone else in my time zone can help me? In the past this was very fast and efficient.

Posted
Customer

here we go again.  no response because we are in different parts of the world maybe?  This doesn't work for me.  What should we do?

Hi Ellie,

Please try the following steps provided below.

By default, your iTunes Media folder is in your iTunes folder. To find it, go to User > Music > iTunes > iTunes Media.

If you don't see your iTunes Media folder in the above location, here's how to find it:

  1. Open iTunes.
  2. From the menu bar at the top of the iTunes window, choose Edit > Preferences.
  3. Click the Advanced tab.
    Advanced Preferences screen showing iTunes Media folder location
  4. Look in the box under "iTunes Media folder location" for the location of your iTunes Media folder.

If this will not work please advise me when will be the best time to call you so we can schedule a call back and the best number to reach you.

Posted
Customer

Thank you so much.  How about either today around 4 (los angeles time), or tomorrow, any time from 7 -12.  I'm leaving now, but will check this when I get back.   Thanks again.  I should tell you that in my desperation I created a new music library, but of course it has no playlists so if you can resolve my library that has those, it would be wonderful.

the tomorrow times are morning, by the way. 7 am. - noon.

Hi Ellie,

Can I call you on Tuesday 10 am PDT your time? I will do my best to resolve your issue. And also provide me the number I can call you?

Posted
Customer

yes, that is probably fine.  I had a covid vaccine that is making me quite dizzy and headachey unfortunately, but I'l do my best to talk in the morning, hopefully I''l be feeling better.  ***-***-**** .  What will be the phone number you're calling from? Can I let you know in the morning if I'm not up to it.  Very frustrating since I had no problem with the first vaccines.   thanks so much Ramy.
