I store my iTunes library (now Music.app) on a Samba server. The server's DNS name has changed, but the volume/share name has not. The share is called Media and is mounted at /Volumes/Media However, I am unable to sync my iPhone or play music in Music.app because it somehow still tried to connect to the old DNS name, even though from what I can tell the path names coded in the library don't contain the Samba server name. However when i try to sync my iPhone I get a message > *There was a problem connecting to the server "_old.server.dns.name_" This happens even if I first use *Go > Connect to server...* in the finder and connect to the server, so my music *is* available at the desired path /Volumes/Media/music... I don't want to delete my library and re-import because I'll lose all my star ratings and play counts. How can I resolve this? How can I update the Samba server path for the music in my Music.app library?
