[iTunes] library location questions

[Ken Stevens]

I my system is similar to yours in that I have my library on an  
external firewire drive.
Mine is connected via a cable rather than via wifi.  I disconnected my  
firewire drive
and launched iTunes.  I got a message

"The folder containing "iTunes Library cannot be found, as is  
required. Please choose or
create a new iTunes library."

If I click "OK" it gives me the dialogue box as if I had launched  
holding the option key.

I can't try the "consolidate Library command" because I am afraid it  
will go through my
internal hard drive and take all compatible files to my hard drive.   
How about "Add to
Library" command?  If you go to iTunes preferences Advanced and click  
"Copy files to
iTunes Music folder when adding to library it should copy the files to  
your firewire library.
