Syncing iTunes between two Macs Help Please

[maverickluke]

I'm not sure where this post should go and I'm taking a shot in the dark in hopes that someone familiar with Macs can help me. All of my video and movie files are on a network drive and iTunes has that location stored in the iTunes folder that is in my local iMac Music folder. I want to transfer iTunes and all of the media files to a different Mac. I would like it set up the same way where the iTunes folder and all my music files are on the local Mac drive in the music folder and all my video and movie files are now on an external hard drive.

How can I do this so when I open iTunes on the new Mac all my video and movie files are recognized and the path name is the same between my network drive attached to my iMac and the external drive on my new Mac?

There is a How-To article for moving your iTunes library. Not sure how these libraries can stay in sync after that moment though, in an automated way, if that is the intent. The locations of local and networked content (not just music) is together in the iTunes Music Library.xml file.

I don't need to have an automated sync at all. If there is a change in my iTunes library with my iMac which I will call the master computer, then I will literally replace the iTunes library file (XML) on my second computer and use carbon copy cloner to copy any new media files to the external drive on the second Mac which will be in a different house.

I appreciate your feedback. After actually trying this, it is as simple as renaming the external hard the same name as the NAS and copying the iTunes library to the other Mac. I did not have to go into the command line or do anything else. Everything works flawlessly when opening iTunes and the Apple TV.
