Can I install itunes on a network drive?

Can I install itunes on a network drive? How?

Your virtual drive still needs a physical drive to live on. You can move your iTunes library to any drive big enough to hold it, e.g. an additional internal drive, an external drive, a network share, it's up to you. What you can't do is put a quart into a pint pot.

  • Can I Install iTunes on the D: Drive?

    Can I Install iTunes on the D: Drive? I looks like iTunes does not give me that option to do this.
    Thanks

    It's like any other program installation - during the install it says where it is going to put the program.
    The default is C:\Program Files\iTunes.
    You have to say "No" or "browse" or something like that, and tell it the D: drive instead.

  • Can I install iTunes on a virtual drive

    wondering is it possible to install iTunes on a virtual hard drive, not a USB device of any? The music library is huge and I'd like to try to conserve space on the hard drive.
    Thanks!

  • Can't install itunes to my slave drive

    I added a new drive and made it a slave even though it's larger and faster and would probably have worked better as the master.
    However, I want to install iTunes on the slave and run it from there because the drive is larger and my library is huge, but every time I install itunes, it puts it on the C:\ drive even though I specified the other drive.
    Is there any way to completely install and run iTunes from a slave drive?
    Thanks in advance.

    I tried moving the library but no dice either, which is weird because I used to run the library off an external HD and it worked fine.
    When I try to move the library and change the directory in itunes it just changes everything I click back, as soon as I close the window. There is no "apply" button or anything so I'm at a loss...

  • How can I put iTunes library on network drive?

    I have my iTunes library on a network drive and it worked well with my laptop and Mountain Lion but I recently got an iMac with Yosemite and the same configuration that worked on the older system doesn't work on the new one.

    In iTunes, are you able to select it in the Preferences/Advanced? Click the Change button.

  • HT2688 Can I install iTunes on an external drive and store my music there?

    I am trying to figure out the best way to manage my music.  600 cds that I need to upload somewhere.  I am thinking I put them in itunes and then bluetooth them to a wireless speaker.    My old school stereo needs to go but I am not sure where to begin?  Help?

    iTunes, like any other program installed on a computer is only installed on the main (typically C) drive.
    The media folder can be stored anywhere the user likes.
    How one connects speakers to the computer is their own business and has nothing to do with iTunes.

  • Can you install iTunes on an external drive?

  • Can i install itunes on a portable hard drive

    Can i install itunes to a portable hard drive? Also can I have more than one itunes library?
    I have a very large cd collections and dont want to put all the files on my mac hard drive, would like to install or keepmthe cd on a portable drive

    That was timely.  I had the same question (new MBP with two drives) and you solved my question.  Thank you.  It works the same way you change Aperture Libraries, so it makes sense and is easy to remember.

  • 2nd home computer can't see itunes library on network server drive

    Ripped CD library and streaming Airplay successfully to home system.  Moved itunes library to network drive which is a Seagate BackupPlus connected to ASUS ac-68u router with USB 3.0.  Have Apple Media server turned on for the asus router.  Used iTunes Edit/Preferences/Advanced to change library location, Checked both “keep itunes media folder organized” and “copy music to itunes media folder when adding to library”.  Turned on home sharing, used same apple id on both computers.  Original computer (Win8.1) I ripped to can see and use the library fine, but the other one (Win 7 hardwired to router) shows only the 4 sample songs.  Probably not permissions because I can use Windows Explorer to look at the cd titles in the Music folder.  Aloha, Mike

    I may have misunderstood, but the iTunes folder will only be there if you have copied it from your old computer to the iPod first. If you no longer have the old computer see Recover your iTunes library from your iPod or iOS device,

    I pulled my brains out trying to figure this bug out and I may have a solution for you.
    All of it installed fine in my desktop, but a friend's laptop got the error you mentioned on quicktime, itunes, flash, officeXP and about anything else I tried to load for him.
    If you look in: C:\documents and settings\<username>\Local Settings\Temp there will be an iTunes install log...open it in Notepad and see if it isn't exiting with a 1619 error while running msiexec.exe
    If this is the case, this fix should work for you.
    Seems some configurations of XP (and possibly Vista) aren't allowing full administrator rights to the account you set up when you installed XP (even though User Editor says you do have those rights.)
    I read 2 MS articles and turned off simple file sharing, then gave ownership of the entire C: drive to the administrator. Logged the admin account off, logged his "admin" account in, and then gave rights to his personal directory to his account (c:\docs and settings\<username>)
    Once I did that, every install that had previously errored out performed flawlessly.
    The MS articles in question:
    http://support.microsoft.com/?kbid=316309 (1619 error)
    and
    http://support.microsoft.com/?kbid=308419 (how to set special permissions)
    Hope this helps!

  • How do i install itunes on an external drive

    How can i install iTunes on an external hard drive?

    Thanks, but I'm not referring to the music library, I'm referring to the actual iTunes application.  I've read other threads saying that it can only be installed on the C: drive, so guess i'm out of luck.
    Thanks anyway!

  • Can't install iTunes 10 due to Bonjour

    I need help finding and deleting Bonjour from my desktop. I uninstalled iTunes 9. When I try to reinstall iTunes 10 I get an error message that says "The older version of Bonjour cannot be removed. Contact your technical support group". I have searched for Bonjour throughout my computer and deleted it every place I could including the REGEDIT. When I try to remove Bonjour from the list of programs through the Control Panel I get an error message that says "The feature you are trying to use is on a network resource that is not available". I can no longer use my iPod Touch because I can't install iTunes on my computer. This makes me very sad.

    When I try to remove Bonjour from the list of programs through the Control Panel I get an error message that says "The feature you are trying to use is on a network resource that is not available".
    These sorts of msi-related troubles have gotten more complicated to deal with ever since Microsoft pulled the Windows Installer CleanUp utility from their Download Center on June 25. First we have to find a copy of the utility.
    Let's try Googling. (Best not to use Bing, I think.) Look for a working download site for at least version 3.0 of the Windows Installer CleanUp utility. After downloading the utility installer file (msicuu2.exe), scan the file for malware, just in case. (I use the free version of Malwarebytes AntiMalware to do single-file scans for that.)
    If the file is clean, to install the utility, doubleclick the msicuu2.exe file you've downloaded.
    Now run the utility ("Start > All Programs > Windows Install Clean Up"). In the list of programs that appears in CleanUp, select any BonJour entries and click "Remove".
    Quit out of CleanUp, restart the PC and try installing iTunes again. Does the install go through properly this time?
    (If you do find a clean download site for the correct version of CleanUp, please don't tell me where it is. Without wishing to sound paranoid (although I grant it does sound paranoid), there is a non-zero chance that posting links to download locations for the utility here at Discussions leads to that download location being shut down.)
