For iTunes, move the iTunes folder located in ~/Music to your external volume. Launch iTunes and hold the option key down. You can select the location of the moved library by selecting choose library in the dialog window that pops up. For iPhoto move the iPhoto Library located in ~/Photos to the external. Launch iPhoto with the option key. iPhoto should find the moved library on the external and you can select it. Dean Danis 519-494-8639 90 Caprice Cr.
