external storage on pc and macI am just moving over from pc to mac. I have all of my itunes on an external hard drive , for the pc.How can I access / move it so it is used via the mac. I have a new hard drive which is formatted for the mac. I know "some" of it is in the cloud but a lot of it isn't, and I don't want to have to re do the playlists again. (I do a lot of audio books, so need it to be in order) I don't want to muck it up, I just need to know the order to do it and if there are any tips. TIA |

Have the drive formatted as FAT32 which will enable both systems to read and write but this has a 4GB file size limit. There are proprietary solution, an Internet search will tell you what is available.
Or use cloud storage. |

I have already formatted for that. I have been searching for 2 days, sometimes I don't know what the process is called so I am not sure what I am looking for. |

Posted this on Facebook but I'll shove it here for you as well.
IF the drive is NTFS then you need something like Paragon NTFS http://www.paragon-software.com/home/ntfs-mac/ |

Also I have all my music on a external HDD for Itunes - this is how you do it
