SmilesLots Where's the RAM? Registered: 09/04/07 Posts: 140 Loc: SW Virginia	Does anyone know if there is an easier way to switch libraries, say on the fly, with iTunes. The option click is fine except it blanks out the finder for any open drive. TIA _________________________ Latest addition 2010 Mac Mini server

Do you mean it hides the open Finder windows? _________________________ AppleCentral Trivia MM-MCF Trivia Call the Doctor

I'd like something that would let me have one library upen and then just go to a second library, and then to another if need be. Thanks. _________________________ Latest addition 2010 Mac Mini server

After switching libraries if you go to the iTunes menu it has Show All to bring all apps back from hiding. _________________________ AppleCentral Trivia MM-MCF Trivia Call the Doctor

Keep in mind that iTunes needs to be relaunched for each switch though. It has to load a new library from a fresh start. _________________________ AppleCentral Trivia MM-MCF Trivia Call the Doctor
