Can you install iTunes on an external drive?

My iTunes Music folder takes up so much room on my hard drive, I would like to save it on an external drive and delete everything on my c: drive. Is this possible?

Easy.

  • 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 leopard from an external usb disc drive?

    I don't know if the disc drive is fast enough for leopard or something. It's taking forever to open the installer, and when I restarted into the installer it just booted back to my desktop. I have an external disc drive I want to try. Can you install leopard from and external disc drive?

    ****, I just tried it and when I restarted it didn't go into the installer. I think my disc drive in my old mac mini might be too slow. It takes forever to recognize the disc and just to double click on it and it up. And when I tried to install it the first time from the internal drive it just booted right into my desktop again.

  • 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 Leopard on an external drive to run my computer?

    Since it seems my hard drive has totally bit the dust, can I install Leopard on the external drive I use for Time Machine, and run my desktop from that drive? Could I run it from an external drive totally dedicated to Leopard? I am buying a new desktop soon, but I need info off of this machine. Can I plug in my Time Machine drive to my laptop and be able to use it without losing data?

    Thanks so much.
    Youa re welcome!
    I figured I would have to use a second drive. At least when I get my new desktop I will have a drive for Time Machine for both desktop and laptop.
    If you really plan to keep the laptop around after you get your desktop, I would recommend replacing its internal hard drive. While running your laptop off an external is possible, it should be considered a stopgap measure. i wouldn't do it on a permanent basis. For one, as you'll find out, it's quite a bit slower than when using the internal drive.

  • Can I install os9 on an external drive from mavericks

    Can I install OS9 on an external drive from Mavericks? I'm running Mavericks 10.9.4 on both my MBP and 27" iMac. I have my original OS9 install disc. I'd like to install OS9 on an external drive so I can use some classic apps that I'd like to use.
    I tried to install directly to an external drive, but when I click on the Mac OS Install icon, I get the message "You can't open the application "%@" because it may be damaged or incomplete." The icon for Mac OS Install is the generic page with an A. Figuring that Mavericks doesn't recognize the app. Then I restarted and held down the C key - no luck.

    I understand, but was hoping I boot off an external drive in 9. Thanks for your response and I apologize for my late response.

  • 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 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 you install itunes on more than one computer?

    Hi all,
    I want to install the software for my first-generation ipod mini on my friend's computer, but I heard somewhere that you can only install the software on one computer and obviously I also want to be able to use it with my own computer as well. Can you install itunes software that comes with your ipod mini on as many computers as you want or only one?
    Many thanks,
    Samantha

    Sure you can. But instead of using the (more than likely) outdated CD, see the iTunes Download Page

    No. You can install Snow Leopard with a flash drive 10.6.3 installer. However, for Lion you must start with 10.6.8 in order to access the App Store to purchase and download Lion.

  • 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 I install Linux on an external drive?

    I'm kinda curious about something. If I boot up off an external firewire drive at boot time and I have previously partitioned it into 2 partitions (techtool or iPartition) is it possible to install a Intel Linux distro on the 2nd partitition?
    When I go to boot from that external drive will the Linux installed boot loader allow me to select OSX or Linux to actually boot from?
    Even better can I just install Linux on this external drive in the only partition?
    I'm only looking to experiment with a Linux distro and I don't want to use Parallels anymore so I'm wondering if I can use an external drive to do so.
    TIA,
    Peter

    Here is an indirect answer. I know you can using Paralles, not sure about the other way though.
