Can I change the library's destination?

My work computer is getting bogged down with music files. I want to put Itunes in my new Laptop and make that my Ipod's final home. The problem is my laptop is very small "Sony Vaio T series" and the drive is only 40 GB partioned into two 20 GB. I want to put Itunes in an External Hard drive that would be dedicated to only to my Ipod. I installed Itunes on the external but I can't change Itune's music library to the external drive. It keeps setting the library on my little laptop's C drive that barely has any space left. Is there a way to change Itune's music library destination to my external drive? I'm not too worried about pulling the music off my Ipod because I have Ipod access so once I learn how to change the library's destination Ipod access can do the rest. Please help...Thanks

What you can do is hold the OPTION key just like iPhotos before clicking on the icon to open.
For example with me I had all my photos/videos stored on the Thunderbolt external drive. I held the option key then clicked on my Photos icon. Then it showed all the directories I had iPhoto librares stored. I assume once it opened it now going to remember that one by default.
EDIT - It does remember the location now as default. Now it Preferences you can now set it as the system default.
Hope this helps!

Hi !
It is standard functionality to change ship-to party address in ISA B2C. This happens only from the checkout.inc.jsp. The ship-to party is part of the basket object.

How to change the library location because i don't have enough memory in my internal hard disk

can i change the library location because i don't have enough memory in my internal hard disk

Hi ahmedmagdyelrasheedy,
It is not clear what library you are trying to move, but if you are running out of space on your internal hard drive the most likely culprits are your iTunes music and your iPhoto library. Either of these can be moved to an external hard drive making room on the internal.
For the iPhoto library see this article -

If not then you might be better off asking in the iTunes For Windows forum, you may be more likely to get better help there.

How can I change the order in which songs appear in my iTunes Music Library?

How can I change the order in which songs appear in my iTunes Music Library?

Kay,
If you are looking at the entire music library ("Music") you can sort by any of the columns by clicking the column header. If there is a column you can't see, enable it by going to View > View Options.
Within a playlist, you can do the same, and in addition you can click above the column of sequence numbers, which will then allow you to drag tracks up or down to get any order you wish.

How can I change the sequence of songs in my iTunes library and playlists?

I find that I cannot alter the sequence of songs iniTunes library, nor in 'My Playlist'.
Having dragged an item to place between two others, it goes back to where it was.
I am probably asking 'Help' the wrong question, but I cannot find the right answer.
I am sure the answer is very simple, but I would welcome the right answer.

That's the normal intended behaviour of the Library. I'm not exactly sure why it is, but I guess it's to make it clear to users that if they want to "fine tune" the tracks they should use a playlist (just like you can't use the burn button in the library).
I'm sure you've noticed that you can still sort the library by clicking the headings.

How can i change the aspect ratio in Event Library?

the videos i imported to iMovie from iMac look horizontally distorted. i took them with an iPhone4. when importing them, i chose 16:9 ratio, this may be the reason. i can not change the ratio to 3:2. Thanks.

Hi likethis,
Welcome to the Support Communities!
The iPhone 4 records at HD 720 p, so that is why your clips are distorted.
iPhone 4 - Technical Specifications
http://support.apple.com/kb/sp587
Video recording, HD (720p) up to 30 frames per second with audio
5-megapixel still camera
Do you still have the clips on your iPhone? If so, here is how to import them into the latest version of iMovie:

HT201361 Is it possible to save the screenshot files to a different folder than desktop. How can I change the folder?

Is it possible to save the screenshot files to a different folder than desktop (that is the default). How can I change the destination folder? Thank you, Sal

To change the screenshot capture location to a new place on your Mac, first think of a location that would serve you properly. We like to place ours in a "Screenshot" folder located inside of the User's "Pictures" folder. To change the location to this new location, open the Terminal and enter the following command:
defaults write com.apple.screencapture location /Users/[u]/Pictures/Screenshots/
Replace "[u]" with the name of the user on your system. Once you have entered this command, let's restart the screen capture utility by restarting the SystemUIServer by entering the following command:
killall SystemUIServer
You can optionally log out and back in instead of entering this second command, thus restarting the SystemUIServer. Once restarted, all screen captures taken from here on out will end up in your /Pictures/Screenshots/ folder in the User's home folder on your Mac.

Remote can't find the library

Hi everyone,
Have the same problem since I updated iTunes to version 9 (and sup.) and iPhone OS to versi

Sorry my post has been cut...
So, I have this problem since I updated iTunes to version 9 (and sup.) and iPhone OS to version 3 (and sup.).
I can enter the code on iTunes, then after telling me I can remote control my iTunes from my iPhone, I cannot connect and allways have the same message "can't find the library".
What I've already done :
completely reinstall my computer
deactivate Windows firewall and Base Filtering Engine, then restart it
deactivate my router firewall
deactivate any filter on my router, then reboot it
delete Remote from my iPhone, reboot it, then reinstall Remote, and reboot again
activate library share on iTunes
activate public folders share on Windows
remove sim card to be sure to use wifi, and only wifi
enter the 4 digits code on iTunes (worked)
still the same message on iPhone : can't find the library
I've seen many posts saying that the computer needs to been wifi connected, and not via Ethernet. Is it true ??? It perfectly worked with older versions of these programs, why would Apple have made a change like this ??
Anyone with an idea?
Thx

You don't have to do anything with the first iPod that you don't use anymore. If you are planning on keeping it, put in a drawer in your house and forget about it.
You don't need a second account to use with the new iPod. I use one Appl e ID and iTunes library for two iPods, and two iPad. I have different content on all four devices. You can select exactly what you want to sync to each device and it can be different content on all devices.

I have the computer with my itunes library on it but no longer have access to the email account the library was set up with. How can I transfer the library to a new appleid/email?

I have the computer that holds my itunes library. However, I no longer have access to the email account (and therefore apple account) it was set up with so can't sync/update etc. How can I transfer the library to my new apple id? Any help gratefully received as searched the internet but can't find the answer!
Have ipod touch 4th gen, ipod touch 5th gen and ipod nano 7th gen all to sync to library.

Hi Stillme,
You cannot transfer purchases from one Apple ID to another. You need to go into the old Apple ID and change it to the new email address instead of using a new Apple ID altogether.
Apple - My Apple ID
If you can't remember the password to the old ID, then click on Reset your Password, and answer the Security Questions. If you can't remember the Security Questions, contact iTunes Support and have them reset:
APPLE ID SECURITY CONTACT NUMBERS
Once you get into your old account, Edit the Apple ID to your new email address. Before you will be able to do that you are going to have to change the email address on the new Apple ID to something else.

Can I change the file path that itunes reads my music files from? 65000 files trying to be transferrd from external to internal HD. I dont want itunes to manage my collection, just read it. thanks

Can I change the file path that itunes reads my music files from?
I have about 65000 music files that i have transferrd from my external to a new laptop internal HD.
I have organised the folders myself as I use a PC and do not want itunes to organise the folders because when I'm searching through music on windows it is sorted out by artists/albums with 'the...(eg The Beatles)' under 'T' instead of 'B'.
Long story short.... Is there any way that I can keep my itunes library as it is on the external HD and copy it to the new laptops C drive, keep all the info (playlists etc) and still have the same folder structure as on the external HD?
Or, is there any way of making windows sort things in alphabetical order like it is in itunes (eliminating the 'the' issue)?

The files that weren't inside the media folder on the original machine need to be copied over to exactly the same paths as they had on the source machine. See this thread for an ongoing discussion of a similar problem. See also this post on migrating the iTunes library.

Open one of your new document profiles located at

Edit the normal character style and save. Now when you create a new document choose that new document profile.

Use Software Update to update your os to 10.6.8 and anything else that needs to be updated. After the installations go to /Library/Preferences - trash the com.apple.Preview.plist file. Repair permissions, restart your computer and empty the trash. Your Preview issue should now be resolved.
