Re: [Apple iPod] original file could not be found

not to start a fight but i would have used and have successfully used
the consolidate method. anyways, so goto your external drive where
your music resides and select the folder and do a "get info" look at
your permissions, are they set so everyone can read and write, if not
change it,. or at least make it so YOU can read AND write.
