How do I move iTunes music to a different location/folder on my computer?

I have on my computer a few different folders that contain all of the music/albums/tracks that are on my iPhone 3GS. I should have placed all the music in the iTunes/iTunes music folder at the time I added/synced them on to my iPhone, but I overlooked this.
I am wanting to move the music that is in the various folders that contain all of my music, into the iTunes/iTunes music folder.
But if I do this I will be told by iTunes that album blah blah blah cannot be found (or words to that affect).
I was wondering is there a quick, easy, and trouble free way of moving all of my music into the iTunes/iTunes music folder, without getting the album blah blah blah cannot be found (or words to that affect) prompt.
Thanks in advance

For iTunes 9:
Choose File > Library > Organize Library
For iTunes 8:
Choose File > Library > Consolidate Library
For iTunes 7 or earlier:
Choose Advanced > Consolidate Library.
A message will pop up.
For iTunes 9:
Place a check next to "Consolidate files" and click OK.
For iTunes 8 and earlier:
Click Consolidate.
This action copies all of your music and other media files to the new location. There must be enough hard disk space available to copy all of your files.

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.
Now read this:

How do I move iTunes music content from one computer to another?

I need to move iTunes content from an older MacBook, which serves as the music source for our audio system, to a new Mac mini, which will now do the same.
I know to move the folder in the music folder but I would like to make certain the playlists are moved in conjunction with the move so I don't have to recreate the playlists on the new mini.
I can't find any information on how to do this in the faqs, in the Take Control books, or the latest system manuals.
Any help would be much appreciated.

HT1751 How can I move iTunes Music from one drive to another?

I'm having trouble ... hoping someone can help.
Windows XP Pro.
My MP3s were on a networked Data Drive (Z:). I drag the songs I want on iTunes from there to the iTunes program, and it's library
was in the "normal" place (\Documents and Settings\MyName\My Documents\My Music\iTunes\iTunes Music ).
I copied my iTunes library folder onto an external drive and also copied the Z drive MP3s onto the external drive. I then put the MP3s
on a new computer with Windows XP Pro, downloaded the latest version of iTunes on the new computer, and then drug the iTunes
folder from the external drive onto the new computer in the exact same "normal" place as above.
When I open iTunes, my music is not there for some reason. Is there any way to correct this sort of readding all my music and all
my cover art?
Thank you.

Thank you for the response.
I cannot find the file iTunes Library.itl ...
I have the structure you mention:
<User's Music>\iTunes\iTunes Library.itl where <User's Music> is the music folder of the profile as defined by the operating system.
but that file is not there (I looked in the preferences of iTunes in order to find the location and that is the location it stated).
"iTunes can be connected to a library in a different location by holding down shift as you start it and clicking Choose from the options to Choose or Create a library."
I can do this, but again, there is no .itl file that I can find ... now I'm more confused Of course, if I fire up my old computer, there is no drive Z any longer, so while all my music appears on iTunes, I cannot click on any as it then will not be able to find the song on the drive that no longer exists.
I am going to do a search on the old computer for that .itl file to see if it was just in some other place for some reason.

How do you move iTunes music from an old computer to a new computer?

Advice and options would be greatly appreciated.

are we talking Mac or that other OS ?
Mac:
the simplest way, assuming all your media files are in the default location, would be to connect the two Macs with a firewire cable, boot the source Mac in Target Disk Mode, and copy the entire iTunes folder (not just the iTunes music folder) from <MacintoshHD>/users/yourname/music on the source to <MacintoshHD>/users/yourname/music on the target (overwriting the iTunes folder in place there).
winsloth:
copy the entire iTunes folder from the old to the exact same location on the new machine. you can use an external HD or your network to do that.

How do I sync iTunes music to two different iPhones on two different user accounts?

I have read some posts and a help article about this, but I need some clarification becuause what I'm doing is not working out correctly. My wife syncs her iPhone and iPod to her iTunes. I recently purchased an iPhone and am going to sync it to my own iTunes on a different user account on the computer. How can I get the music from her iTunes account to sync with my iTunes/iPhone? Whenever I try various routes, I end up with duplicated songs on my end and I'm not sure how it works when she adds music to her account. My wife does all the music purchasing for the both of us and I want the music to sync both ways, but all other content needs to stay separate. We are running iTunes 11 on Windows 7. Any help would be appriciate and I'm sorry if this is a redundent question. Thanks.

I followed the following articles: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1495 and http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1203
Here are the questions I have regarding the second article which is not clear to me:
When dragging the media file to a public location, the article says not to move the iTunes folder. Is it Ok that the media file is moved out of the iTunes folder when dragging it to the public location? Is this what I am trying to accomplish?
There is a note about how iTunes for Windows does not, by default, copy items added to the library to the media folder. Am I supposed to check the box to allow this? Do I do the same for all users?
When I change the music folder location, am I changing it to the new public location? Do I do this for all users on the computer that wants to use the same music files?
I tried changing the file location to the public folder, but received a message asking something to the effect of renaming files to keep the library organized. Do I want this or not?
There is another note at the end that says if all users are storing their music in the same public location, then duplicates may appear in the library. Isn't what this procedure is basically doing? Can someone clarify this?
After following this article to the best of my ability, my iTunes ended up with duplicates of everything, even starting off with nothing there to begin with.

How do you move ITunes to Lacie backup to free up space on computer

Hi
I only have 8G left on my computer and it will be a few months until I will be getting a new one but in the meantime I need extra space on my computer for various projects. How do you move the whole application of ITunes to your backup drive? I tried it but it only did it as a copy.
Also if you move ITunes to the backup drive can you access it and listen to streaming music from that location?
Thanks

Hello dogma505
If the External Hd is Firewire then yes you can access it from the desktop icon in this manner. If it is USB I would look for something else you don't use every day to store in it. "File's and Photo's"

How to store movies & TV shows in a different location

Hi there!
I've seen many of you asking (unfortunatelly with no clear answer) how to store movies & TV shows into another location away from the iTunes Music folder. This idea is to store videos on an AirDisk drive and keep music on the MacBook for example!
I've been trying to do so in the past few days but some pb have occured...
- it is possible to replace the Movies folder by an alias pointing to a Movies folder in the AirDisk drive: existing movies will be playable in iTunes.... the problem is that when I try to add new movies iTunes do not store them into the Movies folder on the AirDisk but in the local music folder (very strange as it is a video file!).
Has anyone succeeded in using such mechanisms?!
Many thanks for your answers!
Guillaume,

You cannot delete them from iCloud.
They are purchased and will always be available in iTunes in iCloud for you to download again if you wish.

Where is your old computer and why didn't you transfer your iTunes library from your old computer to your new computer along with all other important data you will need or want to access on your new computer?
iTunes includes an option to transfer iTunes content that was purchased/downloaded from the iTunes store from an iPod, iPad, or iPhone, but this is for iTunes content that was purchased/downloaded from the iTunes store only.
In regards to iTunes content, an iPhone can be synced with an iTunes library on a single computer only. If you transfer your iTunes library to a new computer to be used for syncing, no iTunes content on your iPhone will be erased with the first sync with iTunes on the new computer.

How do I Sync my itunes music between two different computers

Can anyone tell me the step-by-step instructions for how to Sync my itunes music between two different computer.... one Mac at work and a second at home. I want to bring over all my work music onto my home Mac, some of which is the same but much of it is different.

Are you able to connect the two computers in any way? For instance is the work computer a laptop that you can bring home and network with your personal one? If the two devices are connected in some away there are a few utilities that can help you sync iTunes across different computers. You could begin your research by having a look at these for instance:

I just changed the OS from Vista to Windows7. I have a folder on the same computer with the old iTunes library. I installed a new version of iTunes from scratch. How do I move my music library, etc from that backed up folder into the new iTunes folder.

I need help with moving my music library.
I recently upgraded the OS on my computer from Vista to Windows7.
During the process it copied my iTunes library to a folder on this same computer (marked it Windows.old)
Once the OS was done, I installed a new copy of iTunes on the Windows7 but it now has a blank library (folder)
How do I move my music from its current folder location (on this same computer) into the new iTunes library folder ???
There don't seem to be specific instructions on how to do this.

My situation may be different from yours since all mu music is ripped from cd's not bought from iTunes, but I would think the premise is the same.
Doesn't matter what is in your library.
When I moved computers I literally dragged and dropped the music where I wanted it to be. THen when I opened iTunes I imported the files back into iTUnes
This creates a new library with all the same items but you lose a lot of info: Ratings, comments, date added, custom EQ, playlists, etc.
If you simply copy the entire /Music/iTunes/ folder, it is the exact same library, not a new library. No info is lost.
