Hey guys,

I currently own a MacBook which I sent to the US to get fixed. For the last 6 months I had it booting off an external hard drive hence, all my information is there.

I would like for the iTunes on the Prismo to recognize the iTunes library on the external hdd as its own. I tried putting the Library source on iTunes to the one on the hdd, but the playlists and play count were not imported.

Also, on the MacBook I only used iWork to do all my work. I tried installing it on the Prismo, but it failed to install.

If anyone could help it it would be great!
T.I.A.,

Hg+

In iTunes - go to Preferences > Advanced and change the iTunes music folder location.

What's the error message for iWork? It probably says your Mac isn't fast enough.

BTW, it's Pismo.

I did that on iTunes, but no songs would appear so I had to add the iTunes folder on the hdd into the library =S.

No iWork for me then.

I solved the iTunes issue. I had to copy the iTunes Library File from the external HDD to the internal one.

I noticed now that my Address Book is missing. how do I fix this? No support for old computers?

Sean, thanks for the correct. BTW, I'm not the only one that says Prismo; I'll have to correct my friends

You can say either; it doesn't really matter that much.

Take your prick.

Yes you can SAY Prismo if you want. It's still a Pismo though.

What OS is the Pismo running? What OS was the MacBook running?

The address book should be in the /Library/Application Support/AddressBook/ folder of your backup as an abcddb file. Not sure if this was different in Tiger or Panther though - haven't used them in such a long time.

The Prismo is running Tiger, but AddressBook.app doesn't even load. No icon appears. I tried reinstalling it several times too.
