Can You store Itunes on an external hard drive

I have a very old computer that has limited storage. I would like to put my itunes library on my external hard drive. Is this possible? If so how would I go about doing this? thanks

Yes, it's fairly easy.
First, assign the exHD to a drive letter that is far enough down in the alphabet that no other device will ever use it. M: for Media might make sense. Use windows device manager to do this.
Then, tell itunes the location of FUTURE additions to its library by going into itunes menu > edit > preferences advanced. Tell it to use a folderon the M: drive.
That will take care of FUTURE additions.
To move EXISTING content to the M: drive without itunes losing their place, run the itunes menu > file > library > organize > consolidate command.
Remember, after you do this move, ALWAYS have the exHD plugged in and operational BEFORE you start itunes.

    Click here and follow the instructions to move the library. The iTunes program itself cannot be moved.

  • Can I download iTunes to an external hard drive, to install on a computer that is not internet accessible?

    I want to put iTunes on a computer that is not internet accessible.  I would download at my moms house... and put on an external hard drive, to take to my house.
    PROBLEM is... I am afraid to download it to her computer, for fear of turning all of her MP3's in to iTunes files... as she does not use an Apple device to run her music.

    Hello yturner1096
    You should have no problem downloading the installation file for iTunes and install it on a computer without internet access. The only reason you would need internet access is to access the iTunes Store or to check for updates with iPhones and iPads. Also make sure that you have the right installation if you are doing it for Windows as there is a different install for the 64-bit version. The link below will give you the installation file for your computer. As far as worrying about songs being converted, iTunes does read mp3 and can stay that way. If you need to convert them or make a copy, you can change it to make sure that they stay mp3’s by following the steps in the second artcle.

  • Can I run iTunes from an external hard drive?

    My laptop's hard drive is getting pretty full. Collection of movies, songs, pods and pictures are taking up most of the space. Can iTunes be reinstalled into an external hard drive dedicated to my Apple iPods and iPhone stuff? Whenever I want to sync or visit the Apple Store, then I can just turn it on. Would appreciate any advice on how to manage a big inventory of files.
    Thanks.
    Priscilla

    I just did this the other night....
    I plugged in my hard drive, and copied the ENTIRE ITUNES FOLDER onto my hard drive. This is the folder you see when you open my music. It has all of your playlist and rating information in there. After that is finished, you have to go into your advanced preferences, and change the location of your itunes music folder. once you do this you should be set. it worked for me.
    hope this helps!

  • Can I store files on an external hard drive with my Time Machine backups?

    if you have TM backing up to an external hard drive is it possible to store other files on it like normal without disturbing TM?

    As Neil says, you can do this.
    Be very careful not to put the other files inside the Backups.backupdb folder that TM uses.
    But it's much, much better to make a separate partition for the other files, so TM has it's own, exclusive space. See item #3 in the Frequently Asked Questions *User Tip.*

  • How can you upload music from PC external hard drive to iPad 2?

    I recently got an iPad2 to replace a netbook that was stolen. I have all my music stored on an external hard drive and was wondering what is an easy way to upload it to either the iPad itself or to the iCloud? Also is there someway to connect an iPod Classic to the iPad to share/transfer music?
    Brian

    You are going to need to route that music thru I tunes, then sync it down.  There is not easy way to connect a drive with music to a pad.  Same answer with the pod.  You need iTunes to act as the traffic cop between the devices.
    If the music was in the cloud, you can get it down, but there is no way to get it up without syncing thru I tunes.

  • Can you save ibooks contents to external hard drive

    Hi, can you save the contents of ibook (or Ibooks) to an external hard drive. Any help would be good. Many thanks

    Not like you can with iTunes, if that is what you mean. But you can simply drag-n-drop the eBook from iBooks to the external HDD.

  • Can't restore itunes library from external hard drive

    Prior to my hard drive crashing, I dragged my entire itunes folder (with all sub folders) to a firelite external hard drive. I replaced the power book HD, and I want to put my backed up library on the new HD. I dragged the folder from the firelite to the music folder (in place of the itunes folder that was already there). Unfortunately, the itunes library is still empty. Am I missing something?

    Yes, the relative location is the same, the user account has the same short and long lame as before.
    I did try to use the preferences to point to the backed up itunes folder. Once when it was on the eHD and once when I put it in the music folder. Unfortunatley no luck.
    I will try your idea about using "Consolidate Library"
    One other interesting thing I tried a few days ago was to follow the procedure outlined in the apple support section about restoring the library. It has you move the libray xml file to the desk top, trashing one of the other files (I forgot which) and then choosing the xml file placed on the desk top upon starting itunes. I thought it was kind of odd to select the very xml file I was having trouble with so I chose the backed up xml file. It put all of the playlist folders back in duplicate, but the library was still empty (probably becuase the xml file is just a reference file and I hadn't loaded any actual music files) If the consolidate doesn't work, mabye I'll try that again, but also put the folder with the actual files on the computer as well
    I'll let you know how "Consolidate" works, thanks for your suggestions!

  • How can I store photos on an external hard drive and still manage w IPhoto?

    The hard drive on my MacBook is almost full and I want to move my photos to an external hard drive.  Can I do this and still manage and organize the photos using I Photo?   I can export the photos, but when I do I lose the organization (Events, Albums, etc.) that are in I Photo.   With my new DSLR camera the photos (JPEGS) are really big and I am quickly running out of storage on the MacBook.  Thanks in advance for you help.
    Jim in Seattle

    Moving the iPhoto library is safe and simple - quit iPhoto and drag the iPhoto library intact as a single entity to the external drive - depress the option key and launch iPhoto using the "select library" option to point to the new location on the external drive - fully test it and then trash the old library on the internal drive (test one more time prior to emptying the trash)
    And be sure that the External drive is formatted Mac OS extended (journaled) (iPhoto does not work with drives with other formats) and that it is always available prior to launching iPhoto
    And backup soon and often - having your iPhoto library on an external drive is not a backup and if you are using Time Machine you need to check and be sure that TM is backing up your external drive

  • Can you help me with my External Hard Drive?

    Hey everyone,
    I'm having a big problem with my external hard drives. Firstly, I'll give you all the information I think you might need-
    * I'm running on Mac OSX 10.4.11.
    * I have the most recent release 13" Macbook and it has plenty of memory left.
    * Both my EHD's are made by LACIE. One is 250GB (18 months old) and the other 500GB (2 weeks old).
    * Both work perfectly on every other computer I've tried - (2 Macs and 2 Windows).
    * Both are formatted as FAT32 because I need to use them on Mac at home and Windows at work.
    Now, the problem is every time I mount one of the EHDs on my laptop, they show up on the desktop but when double clicked (or Apple + O 'ed) they cause Finder to have a spaz, with the top white bar disappearing along with everything on my desktop (for about 2s).
    What I have *tried so far*-
    * Mounting and unmounting the EHDs.
    * Turning on and off both EHDs.
    * Plugging them in one at a time.
    * Restarting the Macbook and plugging them in after it has fully loaded.
    * Restarting the Macbook and plugging them in as it loads.
    * Creating a new user account to open them in.
    * Verifying both EHDs using Disk Utility - both claim to be working properly.
    * That trick where you take out the battery and power source, hold down the On button for 5s, then hold Apple + P + R + Option while the Macbook turns back on.
    None of these have worked so far. Please help!
    Thank you so much in advance,
    Joe

    Have you tried opening them in a Finder window? Also, you might boot to your Install DVD and launch Disc Utility to verify and repair both permissions and your drive.
    Sounds strange. I also have the Lacie 500G - partitioned, but with one being FAT 32 ...works fine for me.

  • How do i store itunes on an external hard drive

    how do i move my itunes onto an external drive?

    Assuming that your hard drive is plugged into your computer (USB or Firewire connection) and switched on, drag the Music folder (HD > Users > Your Name) on to the external drive icon. The Music folder is the default location for your iTunes files.
    If you wish, you can set this new location in iTunes preferences so that any additions or deletions to your iTunes library will be applied to the folder on your external drive. You must remember to swich on the external drive to enable this. To set the new location open iTunes and go to preferences>advanced and click on General. You will see where you can designate the new location for the iTunes Music folder.

    Hello ryane84
    The easiest and most efficient way to copy your music is to follow the steps under the External drive section. Make sure that you have organized the iTunes library first before you copy it over. Then put the copied iTunes folder in the same Music folder on your computer.
