I reciently moved my iTunes Library to my external firewire now I click on a song and it will play but at the end of the song it will just stop and not continue to the next song. Even if i press FastForward it will just stop. This even happens in my main library 'playlist'.


Any suggestions?.

From what I know, iTunes and iPhoto do not like us messing with their libraries, especially when they are moved around. Best thing to do is to put the library back in its original location.

iTunes totally doesn't care -- as long as you did it the proper way, by telling iTunes where the folder is. (I wouldn't necessarily expect it to honor aliases.)

started playing around in iTunes and notived that all the boxes beside each song was unmarked, usually there is a check there. I added checkmarks by a group of songs and that fixed the issue.

I have a metric butt-load of songs so it would have taken me forever to check them all. Looked in the Help and it said to do a Command-Click and this will mark them all at once. closed and reopened iTunes and all is better now

Have a look at iTunes' "Advanced" preferences and then you know more.
