Here are some things to note: 1) Make sure the ' are actually single quotes. I've noticed some instances were they have morphed into ` or special apostrophes. 2) You may also want to make sure there are no spaces between the equal (=) sign. I think that can cause issues as well (but not positive) If you're still having problems, feel free to contact me directly. I actually just made these aliases on Snow Leopard just this past week and they worked okay for me. Good luck! Timo: Thanks for your comment! Here are some things to note:

First of all, I need some aliases like ll -> ls -la ...... If found so many "documentations" about it and guess what: None does work for my os x 10.6 :-( unfortunatly. i just tried your one. vi ~/.bash_profile none of your alias suggestions work. What is the difference? What system do you use? Propably a syntax failure. the alias-man-page didnt help that much. Would like to hear from you, take care timo Hey Chris,

unfortunatly.

i just tried your one.
vi ~/.bash_profile
none of your alias suggestions work. What is the difference? What system do you use?
Propably a syntax failure. the alias-man-page didnt help that much.

Would like to hear from you,

Well, this is more geared toward advanced "hacking" of OS X. In short, no, this particular tip won't allow you to move your iTunes library around. Still working on that particular solution :) Haha!
