How can I move my /library folder to another drive?

I'll try and keep this as brief as possible. (tl;dr version: My library folder is on the wrong drive. How can I move it?)
About 18 months ago I switched the HDD in my mid 2009 MBP for an SSD and replaced the optical drive with a larger HDD for storage, which I then moved my home folder onto (though of course not the library folder).
This weekend the HDD got corrupted and I had to do a full erase/restore through time machine, and until I had reformatted the HDD I could not even log in. Once I had erased it I could log in again, but although the old library folder still exists on the boot SSD, it has replaced the (of course now missing until my TM restore is complete) home folder with a new one on the HDD and set up a new default library folder.
I could copy the old library files into the new folder, but I'd prefer to have the library on the SSD, so what I want to know is how would I get OSX to recognise the old library? Or if I just updated the new one, could I move it?
I know moving the library is a bit of a minefield, so I'm hoping one of you can help!

You should leave the Library folder that is at top-level on the Boot drive right where it is.
The ~/Library (in your user_Id) folder should be moved off the Boot drive with the rest of your User files if you choose to move the Home folders.
What are you talking about?

  • How can I move iTunes music folder to another drive?

    I have iTunes version 7.1 running on a notebook with Windows Vista. My iTunes music folder is becoming too large for the C; drive and I am having problems successfully moving it to the D: drive.
    I know the folder is in the D: drive because I can see it there. I have followed guidance on how to link it to iTunes: Edit / Preferences / Advanced / General / Change (choosing iTunes music folder on the D: drive) / OK. I have also ticked the "Keep iTunes Music folder organised" box, as well as the "Copy files to iTunes Music folder when adding to library" box. Nevertheless, when I open iTunes my music does not appear in the library.
    What am I doing wrong?

    Firstly there is more than one kind of iTunes Library file:
    http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=93732
    Secondly you should consolidate your library:
    http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?path=iTunesMac/7.3/en/670x.html
    The following link will give you the instructions to move iTunes to an EHD. These instructions need to be followed EXACTLY.
    The 2 metadata files within the main iTunes folder must stay on the main drive of your system as that is their "home", they can't be moved.

  • How do I move iTunes Library folder to another location?

    Hi guys .. I have a question I can't seem to find a fully working answer to.
    I have iTunes 11 installed, which has it's folder in the default location:
    C:\Users\ahmadka\Music\iTunes\ ...
    However I have all my music stored in one central folder located in my Dropbox:
    C:\Users\ahmadka\Dropbox\ahmadka's Music Library\..............
    I've recently made the switch from Dropbox to Google Drive, so I'm trying to move the above music containing folder to:
    C:\Users\ahmadka\Google Drive\ahmadka's Music Library\..............
    But before doing anything, I made a backup of my Music\iTunes folder.
    Then I moved the folder as mentioned above (moved ahmadka's Music Library folder from Dropbox to Google Drive). However obviously after moving the folder, iTunes was unable to locate any songs (I see that ! sign next to any song I try to play). So then I tried going to File >> Add Folder to Library, and then I browsed for the new 'ahmadka's Music Library' folder. However now iTunes just re-added all the songs again, instead of realizing that they are the same songs which have just been moved.
    Restored my iTunes backup and then tried this:
    In another thread someone suggested running the FindTracks script to fix those incorrect links. I did this and it seemed to have fixed the links to 80% of the songs, but the remaining 20% still remain. Since they're a lot of songs, I can't manually fix each song's link.
    One way would be to just delete everything in my library and re-add all songs from the new Google Drive folder, but I don't want to do this as I loose my ratings, playcount, etc .. I don't want to loose years worth of work.
    Is there any other easier way that allows me to move the songs from one location to another ?

    Okay, thanks for that explanation.
    First let me tell you the paths for my specific scenario:
    My library folder (i.e. A) (i.e. the one containing the ITL file) is: C:\Users\ahmadka\Music\iTunes
    My media folder (i.e. B) (i.e. the one mentioned in Edit > Preferences > Advanced) is: C:\Users\ahmadka\Music\iTunes\iTunes Media
    But do note that as I've said above, all my active music is currently in this Dropbox folder: C:\Users\ahmadka\Dropbox\ahmadka's Music Library
    For example, here are some music folders/files I have here (just to tell you how it's organized):
    C:\Users\ahmadka\Dropbox\ahmadka's Music Library\30 Seconds To Mars\A Beautiful Lie\01. Attack.mp3
    C:\Users\ahmadka\Dropbox\ahmadka's Music Library\30 Seconds To Mars\A Beautiful Lie\02. A Beautiful Lie.mp3
    C:\Users\ahmadka\Dropbox\ahmadka's Music Library\Game of Thrones (OST)\01 - Main Title.mp3
    C:\Users\ahmadka\Dropbox\ahmadka's Music Library\Game of Thrones (OST)\02 - North of the Wall.mp3
    etc...
    Since the actual songs folder (i.e. C:\Users\ahmadka\Dropbox\ahmadka's Music Library) is not within either the media or library folder indicated above, how does this work with your solution ?
    Remember that I'd just like to move the ahmadka's Music Library folder from Dropbox to Google Drive.
    EDIT:
    Also, you said this in your last post:
    "A contains B as an immediate subfolder and the library is portable if all the content that is attached to the library is located somewhere inside this media folder."
    While A does contain B in my case, do note that B does NOT contain all the media files. The actual media files are in that ahmadka's Music Library folder, which is currently located outside both A and B.
    When I download a new song or album from iTunes, it gets downloaded inside B by default. But then I manually move it from there and place it inside my ahmadka's Music Library folder. This causes the link to the media file to break in iTunes, but I fix this by removing it from my iTunes library, and then re-adding the C:\Users\ahmadka\Dropbox\ahmadka's Music Library folder to iTunes. iTunes then scans the folder, realizes that 99% of the contents were already mapped, and just adds the new addition which I had just pasted into ahmadka's Music Library folder. Doing this everytime is a nuisance for me at times, but I'm now used to it.
    Also, I like to keep my actual songs outside in a more 'public' location such as Dropbox, so that I can easily browse to that folder from other synced places (e.g. office, consoles, etc.) to listen to songs, etc.

  • How can I move mail from Gmail to another account?

    Mail.app in Mavericks is incompatible with Gmail. I use Gmail. I have about 2GB of mail, most of it in a few dozen archive folders, stored on Gmail, and (I think) duplicated locally on my Mac Mini.
    I think my best recourse is to switch to an email service provider that conforms to the IMAP standard (which Gmail does not). Assuming I find one, I will have both accounts, Gmail and the new one, in Mail.app. How can I move the mail from Gmail to the other account?
    In Mail.app in Mavericks, All Mail must be marked to show as a folder, and when I move a message from a folder in Gmail it will still be in the All Mail folder.
    When all folders are empty, including the Inbox, can I be sure that every message has been moved to the new account, even though every message is still in the All Mail folder?

    Mail.app in Mavericks is incompatible with Gmail. I use Gmail. I have about 2GB of mail, most of it in a few dozen archive folders, stored on Gmail, and (I think) duplicated locally on my Mac Mini.
    --> mine's working fine. I know there are issues, but it should work
    I think my best recourse is to switch to an email service provider that conforms to the IMAP standard (which Gmail does not).
    --> yes, it would be nice if they adhered to standards.  That said, mine works great.  So far.
    Assuming I find one, I will have both accounts, Gmail and the new one, in Mail.app. How can I move the mail from Gmail to the other account?
    --> If all you want to do is keep your history, make a local folder on your mac and drag all the mail messages there (both se4nt and incoming).  I am not sure what will happen if you later drag those into the new Xmail account
    When all folders are empty, including the Inbox, can I be sure that every message has been moved to the new account, even though every message is still in the All Mail folder?
    --> Dont look in "all mail". Open your inbox and look at each individual inbox.
    Good luck,. But first, try to fix your account.

  • Can't Move iTunes Library to an external Drive using instructions given

    Hi Guys.
    I want to move my library to an external drive. However when I click Edit, then Preferences, then Advanced, as per the instructions, there is no inner tabs that give me the option of clicking on General as illustrated in the instructions and I can't proceed. What am I doing wrong? How do I move the library permanently to the external drive to make room on my computer?
    Many thanks in advance to anyone who can help!
    Keith

    Thanks for clarifying that there have in fact been changes to the Advanced tab. That's what threw me. I've successfully transferred the library to the F drive and all is well!!
    It's only a small thing, but I'm just wondering what method I should use to transfer the remaining folders which didn't transfer with the full library.
    I have basically just followed the instructions, excluding the going into the General menu of the Advanced tab. I selected the new location, which came up as the new location for the library in the window of the advanced tab. I clicked OK and then Consolidated the library.
    Many thanks,
    K.

  • How can I move the ~/Library/Mail folder?

    I partition my hard drives into Startup/OSX, Tools, and several data volumes. I would MUCH rather store email and attachments in a data volume, as I do all my other work product, big application caches, Music, and Pictures folders. I have tried aliases and symbolic links, and everything is ignored by Mail; no mailbox is recognized unless it is in the original location, unlike Pictures, Music, Movies, etc.
    I would appreciate having control over this. Does anyone have ay tips or workarounds? I am capable of diddling plists and other config files at a fairly low level, if necessary.

    If you are keeping virtually everything in your Home folder on a different volume, then perhaps a better solution is to move the entire Home folder. You can move the entire Home folder to another volume, then direct Leopard to use the Home folder in the new location.
    Open Accounts preferences, click on the lock icon and authenticate. Click on your account entry then CTRL- or RIGHT-click and select Advanced Options from the contextual menu. To the right of the field labeled "Home Directory" is a button labeled "Choose." Click on the button, locate your new Home folder, select it and click on the Open button. Now restart the computer. You should now be using the relocated Home folder.
    Now, if you would rather not do that then you can move the /Home/Library/Mail/ folder to the other drive. You will then need to create a soft link to this location using the Terminal command "ln -s source target" without quotes. You must first delete the original /Home/Library/Mail/ folder. So your command may look like:
    ln -s /Volumes/volname/PathToNew/Mail ~/Library/Mail
    The "~" tilde is the Unix shorthand for your user folder.
    This should create a new folder in /Home/Library/ named Mail which is a symbolic link to the relocated Mail folder.

  • How can I move a mailbox folder and messages in it to a My Documents folder?

    I use meailboxes in Mail to keep project communications in while I am working on them. When the project is completed, I would like to move that mailbox and all its contents to a folder in My Documents. How do I do that?

    Hello:
    When you export a mailbox, it is exported with a .mbox suffix.  You would need to import it to read it.
    I thought about what you want to do...
    If you use Time Machine, you could simply delete the folder you are finished with....you could always retrieve the entire mailbox or specific messages.
    I do not know of a way that you can simply move the messages to someplace else on your system.

  • How can I lose the Library folder in my Users folder?

    I have Time Machine running and it is doing a good job backing up my mail among other things. It shows my mailboxes as being backed up from a Library folder in my Users folder. However on my Mac the Library folder does not show up in the Users folder. Where one would expect to find it - between Downloads and Movies - there is nothing. Can anyone tell me where it might have gone? Obviously the data within is still there somewhere and Mail is functioning normally. Have I somehow managed to hide it in some security setting?

    On OS X Lion and Mountain Lion, ~/Library (being ~ your user folder) is hidden by default. However, you can access to it by two ways. However, you only need one, because you have to unhide the folder.
    To unhide the folder, open Terminal and type:
    chflags nohidden ~/Library
    Finally, Library will appear on your user folder and you will be able to go to ~/Library/Mail, where mailboxes are saved

  • How can I view my library folder?

    In my sidebar menu, when I click on my the name of my computer, the "library" folder does not appear along with documents, downloads, music, etc. so in order to get into the mail downloads folder I have to do a search first. I think perhaps the library folder was moved or deleted by mistake, and I cannot figure out how to bring it back.

    Show User Library Directory in Mac OS X 10.7 Lion
    Or if you just want to get into there without making it visible use the Finder Go menu, Go To Folder..., and type ~/Library and click the Go button.

  • How can I move the passwords folder on a external drive?

    Hello!
    I have a simple question:
    I do not want the passwords and filled forms data stored on my computer but rather on a flash drive. So, when I am done with the computer, I unplug the flash drive and take all sensitive data with me.
    How can I do it? How can I change the default location C:\Documents and Settings\sun\Application Data\Mozilla\Firefox\Profiles to the flash drive?

    That preference does not exist by default. Right-click in the about:config window and choose New > String, set it name to '''browser.cache.disk.parent_directory''' and value to where you want the cache. (Note there is an underscore in the name)
