Hello all,
Macintosh Pro (older, but Intel based)
OS X
The system has 4 internal drives, and 2 external (via firewire) Drobos. The iTunes files live on one external Drobo. The other Drobo is for backup.
Anyway 1 internal drive had failed, (500 MB). iTunes was working even though the drive had failed. I decided it was time to swap out 3 of the 4 internal drives with new 1TB drives. This went swimingly.
Before initial shutdown I made sure to shutdown iTunes and close all apps.
Once internal drives were swapped and good-to-go, I shutdown, and reattached the drobos. Upon boot, the drobos show up on my desktop just fine.
iTunes starts up fine, and when I browse the library, the icons for the music, TV shows, and movies all seem to be there. But when I try to play a TV show (haven't tried movies or music yet). Nothing happens. I get a blank screen and the show itself never plays.
I can navigate the drobo disk, find the file structure and files within. So the files are there.
The only thing I can think of is I probably plugged the wires into different firewire ports, so maybe there's some wierd addressing difference.
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks, Radical
