Alternate default location for backup
Is there a way to change the default location for the backup files on my PC? I have a C: drive that is too small to store the backup files and need to change the default to my e:drive.

Changing the Default Location for Backups
I've just downloaded PC Suite 6.81.13.0. How do I change the default location where backups are stored on my laptop? The default location stores the data in an location that is not compatible with my company network profile. I want to store the data in a different location, but I can't see any option to allow me specificy the location.
You have to re-index your Library by dragging/dropping the main Library folder into the Loop browser.

Iphoto 11 changed default location for pictures
Before upgrading to iphoto 11, the default location for uploading pictures used this (using a picture taken on July 31, 2011 as an example): iphotolibrary/masters/2011/July 31, 2011/[filename]. Now when I upload pictures, it goes to a completely different file location: iphotolibrary/masters/2011/07/31/[numbers]/[filename] and when I close and reopen iphoto, those new pictures do not show up, though the files are in the "new" location. Other than wanting to know why iphoto made these frustrating changes, the bottom line is how do I either change the default upload location so that it's back to what it was in the previous version, or how do I otherwise get iphoto to recognize the new default location?
1. You don't change anything inside the Library package. You'll trash the Library if you do. (Those numbers are the date and time of import, by the way)
2. Option 1
Back Up and try rebuild the library: hold down the command and option (or alt) keys while launching iPhoto. Use the resulting dialogue to rebuild. Choose to Rebuild iPhoto Library Database from automatic backup.
If that fails:
Option 2
Download iPhoto Library Manager and use its rebuild function. This will create a new library based on data in the albumdata.xml file. Not everything will be brought over - no slideshows, books or calendars, for instance - but it should get all your albums and keywords back.
Because this process creates an entirely new library and leaves your old one untouched, it is non-destructive, and if you're not happy with the results you can simply return to your old one. .

I can't access my itunes music on my laptop after having it re-imaged. I installed itunes again but can't access the music folder. I get the following message when I click to open itunes: "The folder itunes cannot be found or created, and is required. The default location for this folder is the Music folder.
I have an iPad2, and iPad mini, and an iPhone5 with a different number of songs on each. I want to sync everything -- should have close to 800 songs. Tried to get support from Apple but would be charged for help.I have a Windows 7 operating system my computer runs from.

I just upgraded my mac book to 10.6.8 and downloaded the new version of itunes. When I try to open it and error message appears saying, "The iTunes Library file cannot be found or created. The default location for this file is in the "iTunes" folder in the "Music" folder."
I have tried a few things but iTunes closes right after i click okay. Anyone know anything?Look in your Home > Music folder. There should be an iTunes folder there and it should have a number of files and folders including one called library.itl You want to guide iTunes to that file. If you don't see that file or folder then in your next post you will have to be very specific as to what you do see or how you have your iTunes set up because that's where it should be according to default settings.

Every time I have to upgrade iTunes it gives me this messege:'The default location for this file is in the "iTunes" folder in the "Music" folder.' the file should be there but I don't understand why it does this every time Apple upgrades the Itunes library. Its on the computer somewhere but it only affects this login on my computer (meaning on this Windows Account). Why does my iTunes do this? Then I have to spend hours placing all my libraries back together and all my music back into the library. Which usually takes me a few days to sort all out. What is wrong with my iTunes? The iTunes folder is a folder in my Music folder where I store the iTunes music/files/libraries at on my computer so I can have all of the iTunes files in one place on my computer.
I have a Windows 7 operating system my computer runs from.

I have been trying for over 2 weeks now trying to get my iTunes to open up so I can use my iTunes but I have not had any luck since I up graded to the new itunes. I have tried uninstalling (all apple programs) and reinstalling and nothing seems to work. Everytime I try to open my iTunes I receive the following message - The iTunes Library.itl file cannot be found or created. The default location for this file is in the "i Tunes" folder in the "Music" folder. Please help as I'm getting very frustrated and want to throw every apple device in the trash!!!
FYI: I thought about getting the iPhone but since I"m not having very good luck getting assistance with my iPod/iTunes I think I will rethink my decision.Found the solution.

I am trying to open iTunes on my Windows 7 PC and am getting the following message...the itunes library can not be found or created. The default location for this file is in the "iTunes" folder in the "Music" folder. Any ideas?
Let's try this first. Hold down the Shift key while you try to launch iTunes. You should eventually see the following dialog:
Click "Choose library". Browse to inside the following location (depending on what operating system you're running):
Operating System
Default location of iTunes library
Microsoft Windows XP
\Documents and Settings\[your username]\My Documents\My Music\iTunes\
Microsoft Windows Vista
\Users\[your username]\Music\iTunes\
Microsoft Windows 7
\Users\[your username]\My Music\iTunes\
... and open the iTunes library you find in there. -
