Are my MP3 File Duplicate and can I delete the duplicates

I have just bought an iPOd and started to use iTunes. I went to FILE and ADD FOLDER which then copied all my MP3's into the My Music/iTunes Folder which iTunes created. Now the question is are these files copied accross to the new iTunes location and if so can I delete them from the original location to save disk space etc (there is over 30GB of MP3's).
Also, as the iTunes folder has been craeted on my Prmary Drive (C:\My Documents\My Music.....) is it possible to move all these fules to me second hard drive which is where I store my music, video's etc and ifd so how do I tell iTunes and iPod that is where they are and that is where the synchronisation needs to be.
Sorry if these are simple questions but I am new to this and the Help file in my iTunes does not work hence I am stubbling around in the dark so to speak.

"Now the question is are these files copied accross to the new iTunes location and if so can I delete them from the original location to save disk space etc"
If you had "Copy files to iTunes music folder when adding to library" checked in Edit>Preferences>Advanced>General when you created your iTunes library then you can delete the originals from the folder you added them from.

Yes it is, see this guide: Moving your iTunes Music Folder

  • HT1926 I am trying to delete an old version of itunes in my ibook G4 so I can install the newest version and can not delete the old version because it says I don't have enough privileges, help?

    iTunes is not installing because its incompatible with your OS. When installing the correct version the new version will update the older version, there is no need to uninstall first.
    The last version of  iTunes compatible with OSX 10.4 is iTunes 9.2.1
    You can down load iTunes 9.2.1 here:

    First, what version of Berkeley DB are you running and on what system?
    The error indicates something amiss in the log. The LSN values are quite
    small. Can you run 'db_printlog -N -h <env path>' and post the log
    contents?
    If you are using BDB 5.0 or later, can you also post the contents of
    the __db.rep.diag00 file in the environment home directory? Thanks.

  • What is stringtable.xml and can I delete the files?

  • I have videos in an album called "pictures" on my iPhone and can't delete the album or it's contents. How do delete?

    I have videios in an album named "pictures" on my iphone. I did not create the album. There is no icon on the videos to allow me to delete them. How do I delete them?

    Does this album also exist on your computer?  Delete it there, then sync your iPhone.

  • ZEN: I can't play/see mp3 files that I CAN play in Win

    A few albums I have uploaded to my ZEN aren't visible in the player itself.
    Example: I upload 5 albums of band X. When I browse they are visible but when I start my ZEN and want to play only 3 albums are visible. As for as I know they are normal mp3 files because I can play them with Winamp. What's the problem?

    The album photos are just the originals; there are no special copies in the album--it's just a list. Select the photos in the album, then go to File>Export as New Files and send the new copies where you want them.

  • Evernote: Can I delete the imported file???

    If you are a premium suscriber to Evernote, can you delete the original file (i.e., PDF, Excel, ...) that was imported into Evernote or do you need to keep it for future editing, sharing or such?
    It seems Evernote copies the imported file and puts it into the Evernote folder located in the hidden Library directory (user/home/library/application support/evernote).

    The people here are visitors who might have knowledge and might choose to share it, if they have the time, and feel like answering a question. Your questions, instead, suggest that you think it is someone's job here to answer your questions. If you want it to be someone's job, you should raise a support case. This too will require patience.
    You will not welcome this advice, I am sure, but it is well not to try to use your own deadline to try to make other people feel the problem is more urgent to them.

  • Can we delete the requests from Infoobject master data

    Hello all,
    we load master data process chains everyday. now when when we right click on the attribute "Manage" then there are lots of requests there.
    Can we delete the older requests from there?
    Does having lot of requests there slow down the performance?
    Thanks in advance

    Ravi,
    Yes we have transactional data also loaded. So you mean I cannot delete the requests from Infoobject ?
    So can we use the given FM and delete master data lets says once a week ?
    I am really confused about this. I tried deleting some of the request from ATTR (Right click on attr and then manage -> select request and delete) and it did actually get deleted so was that wrong thing to do ?
    Thanks for reply

    Before i updatad my Itunes to the last available update and my Iphones to 5.01
    i had no problem draging jpg. and mp3 files into my iphones DCIM folder (the picture folder that opens
    when conecting to Itunes). Since my updates Itune wont let me drag and drop any files' even pictures that
    were taken with my Iphone on 4.3.3.
    Please help as we have no itunes music in Israel, only apps and i cant copy any of my old music from my computer
    to my iphones.
    If it helps, i am using a pc with 32 bit windows 7.

    The title of my initial post is a bit misleading. I already took a chance deleting one of the iPhones, hoping if I deleted the wrong one, I can still reauthorize it (all with the same Apple ID acct, so not subject to 90-day waiting period, right?) The iTunes database just updated itself, and it says I have 4 "devices" "in the Cloud", but 5 "computers" associated w my account. How can I find out what computers are associated? Isn't there a list I can see? I dont have a clue what computers they might be. If I use the  "Deauthorize All" option, is it a pain to add them all back in. I assume I would have to log in from each computer to reauthorize each one. Would I have to be running the newest OS or version of iTunes to reauthorize? I think I have a PowerBook G4 Titanium with an older OS and iTunes. I'd like to keep that authorized, if possible.

  • I just converted wav to mp3, but now I can't locate the files.

    I just converted wav to mp3, but now I can't locate the files.

    make sure you have the exact path written correctly. If you can, show what the filename is in itunes, and the filename when you are looking at the song files (i.e. through my comuter). Make sure these are the same, and that they are all usable itunes formats.

  • Trying to use a new, larger external hard drive for my Time Machine backup.  However, every time I start the backup, it gets started then fails.  And, I can't delete the few files that did save on the external.  Sort of a catch 22.  Any ideas?

    Is it a USB hard drive?  USB hard drives have the problem of not giving full speed if they are hooked up on the same bus as keyboards and mice.  Double check your profiler to make sure that is not a problem.  If it is Firewire, make sure there aren't other firewire devices in use at the same time.  I recommend not only keeping a Time Machine backup, but also a clone, and if you do use Time Machine, to make sure the Time Machine drive or partition is at least twice the size of the original drive.

  • HT1386 The laptop I originally synch'd my iphone 4s with is broken and cannot retrieve any files. How can I sync the phone with a new laptop without losing all my downloaded music and apps already installed on my iphone?

    The laptop I originally synch'd my iphone 4s with is broken and cannot retrieve any files. How can I sync the phone with a new laptop without losing all my downloaded music and apps already installed on my iphone?

    If the answer to the above question is "yes", FIRST, set up a backup of your new computer before you do anything else so the next time your computer breaks you will not be in the same situation. Backup solutions are numerous and inexpensive, and there is absolutely no excuse in the Third Millennium not to have one.

  • I have 10.6.8 and have installed two new printers HP 8610 and an Epson 7880 and can not find the Page Set-up menu anywhere in the applications I a trying to print from. There are no page sizes, paper types, appearsto be locked on a 13x19 size but It.

    Hi to the Mac Folks,
    I have 10.6.8 and have installed two new printers HP 8610 and an Epson 7880 and can not find the Page Set-up menu anywhere in the applications I a trying to print from. This is regardless of either printer selected.
    I primarily print photos from Photoshop CS5.  The term Page Set-up has gone missing in the file pull down menu. Can't make any choices  There are no page sizes, paper types, appearsto be locked on a 13x19 size paper format. Either being too large or too small.
    Saw a 2008 locked issue about this however none of the help fit my situation, options discussed are not available to me.
    Preview has no "Page Setup" - or does it?
    Does the constant struggle with computer compatability weirdness issues ever end or is it a enslavement scheme?

    Hey,
    if you know the name(s) of the root folder(s) you want to access (eg. by making a note on the Windows side) then you can make them appear by just doing Shift-Command-G in Finder ("Go to Folder…"), and entering the full path to the required folders.  You can then navigate all the contents as normal.
    HTH,
