Change of location of itunes folder

a itunes folder was located in my c drive(os drive).path for that folder was c drive-user-my music-itunes.
due to less space on that drive cut that folder from that location and pasted it on another storage drive(d drive) of same computer.now my itunes libraray does not show any apps or data. my iphone is with service centre for service, when i went to prefrences and changed media folder location i was unable to get anything. a "reset" button is also there below change.shold i click the reset button to locate data of my itunes libraray or it would erase my backup and other contents.

i have not clicked keep my media folder organised before moving location of itunes folder. can i get my backup.
apps or music is not a issue. i want to have my photos and contacts intact. if i get them back that would be suffice for me

How can I change the location where itunes stores my backup?

I don't know how to change the location were itunes stores my backup and my transfer purchases. I don't have enough memory on the hard driver where the windows is installed.Please help me!!!

Transferred purchases usually get stored in the iTunes Media folder although if your library started life back on iTunes 8 or earlier then apps could be stored within the main iTunes library folder. This post gives an overview of how to restructure your library on a different drive. I can give specific instructions if you tell me more about your current setup.
To change where iTunes stores iOS device backups redirect <Profile>\<AppData>\Apple Computer\MobileSync\Backup to a folder on another drive using NTFSLink (shell ext., might only work on XP) or Junction (cmd line tool). In essence you move the existing folder to a new location, create an empty folder where the old one used to be, then get the operating system to link the two together and silently redirect any file operation on the old location through to the new one.

I am living in moscow, but i have a mastercard in vietnam. I changed my location in itunes from Russia into Vietnam. But when I change my billing info, and write my card's informations. It said I have problems with the address. I typed my address in VN.

I am living in moscow, but i have a mastercard in vietnam. I changed my location in itunes from Russia into Vietnam. But when I change my billing info, and write my card's informations. It said I have problems with the address. I typed my address in VN. What should I do now ????

To answer the second question first, the owners of the music (and that is not Apple) decide where their music can be sold. If they decide (for whatever reason) not to sell their music in a particular country, they will not let a music retailer (that is Apple this time) sell it in that country. So the "system" is beyond Apple's control.
As for your first post; (if I understand you correctly), the iTunes Store knows that you are in Russia, so using a credit card registered in Vietnam is simply going to look like you're trying to get round the system.
The credit card is tied to an address, and therefore to a country. Simply using a different country's address is not going to work.
By the way, this is a world-wide situation. It's not a matter of having to use a Russian card, whatever card you use has to be registered at an address in Russia.
Use the support link in the iTunes Store to contact Apple and see if you can straighten out whether you can buy songs, where ever you are and with whichever card you have.

Any way to change the location where itunes stores the backup files?

I am running low on my C: drive in XP. Any way to change the location where itunes stores the backups of my various devices?

i am currently in the same situation. i purchased an external hard drive and set itunes to save to it in the preferences, and this worked, but only for new additions. all of my current music still plays from my mac HD and not the external. i am assuming i will need to re-add every song. the only plus is that when i transferred my songs to the external, it saved my settings. hopefully it saves the play counts.

Change library location when iTunes does not manage the library?

There must be an easier way to do this...
I keep all our music files on an external NAS so it can be shared by my Sonos system and also sync via iTunes to various iDevices by my wife and I. In this situation it is not desirable to have iTunes organize the folders or copy the music to it's own folder. Using Windows 7 iTunes, I use the File | Add Folder to Library dialog to add music to iTunes, simply pointing this dialog at the NAS folder where the files are stored. This creates a few problems.
1) When new music is added to the NAS folder, iTunes doesn't have the brains to re-scan the folder at start-up to see what has changed. Instead I have to use the File | Add Folder to Library dialog again, choosing the same folder as before. An annoyance.
2) When I do the procedure described in #1, ALL new files since the last scan get a check mark and are added to the iDevice sync. That is also undesirable as I may add lectures or music that my wife doesn't want on her iPhone, or vice-versa. One is forced to hunt through the entire library looking for items that she or I don't want synced.
3) I need to change the location of the music file storage. BIG PROBLEM. I can't figure out how to move the file location and have iTunes still honor the selected (and non-selected) file choices.
There must be a better way around all of this. I saw one suggestion to do a global search and replace on the file location in the iTunes Music Library.xml file using a text editor. Is iTunes really that backward? Any help appreciated.

Use iTunes Folder Watch or make sure the designated iTunes Media folder is a folder on the NAS and drop new content into <Media Folder>\Automatically Add to iTunes.
Tunes Folder Watch includes an option not to check newly added songs (or rather it actually unchecks them) however checkmarks are a poor organizing tool. Use a combination of one or more regular & smart playlists to determine what should go on the device. That way you can still listen to albums that aren't scheduled to sync.
Exactly what do you want to change? Normally I'd suggest you make your split library portable, however running an iTunes library database from a NAS is generally not a good move. It may be necessary to do so temporarily in order to relocate the media folder, after which the library files can be copied back to an internal drive for performance. Alternatively you can move files around using my script ConsolidateByMoving, assuming you're not also trying to preserve an esoteric folder structure of your own. Or, it there is room to copy, then delete, instead of moving, then you can use the iTunes "consolidate" feature.
Editing the XML and "breaking" the library to force a rebuild from the XML is not the way to go.

How can I change the location where iTunes saves iOS 5.1, new data, synchronized apps and other data?

My hard drive C is full. I changed the location of the mediathek to an external hard drive F and moved all media data there. Also, I synchronized my iPad with this new set-up. So far, everything worked out well.
Now, why is iTunes stll saving data, like the much needed iOS 5.1, to C? This actually makes it impossible for me to finally update my iPad, because my C drive is simply full!
Also, iTunes does not synchronize my iPad apps or my photos. When I try to synchronize them manually, iTunes starts to save data to my C drive. How can I change that to my external drive F?
In a nutshell, how can I move iTunes once and for all to my external hard drive F (or at least, to a different hard drive on my computer)? There is simply no space on my C drive for it at all.
Thankyou so much for an answer, I am literally going nuts right now!

I can't locate my iTunes folder on my iPod to transfer my music.

I recently had my computer crash, and my whole iTunes library went down with it. However, it is still saved on my iPod. I would like to transfer my library to my new computer, and there was an article on "How to use your ipod to move your music to a new computer" http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=300173.
On the step where you drag your iTunes folder to the one on your desktop, I notice it doesn't show. However, the Notes, Contacts, Calendars, and Photos folders do show up. HELP!?!?!?!

For iTunes version 7 or later, then you can transfer purchased iTunes store music from the iPod to an authorized computer by using the "file/transfer purchases from iPod" menu. Note that the maximum of 5 authorized computers applies here.
For all other non purchased music (your own CDs etc) try this method which works on some Windows PCs.
Enable your iPod for disk use.
See: iPod Disk Use.
Open iTunes and select edit/preferences/advanced/general. Put a check mark in the box marked "copy files to iTunes music folder when adding to library" and also "keep iTunes music folder organized", then click 'ok'.
Connect the iPod whilst holding down the shift/ctrl keys to prevent any auto sync, and if you see the dialogue window asking if you want to sync to this itunes library, click 'no'.
Then go to file/add folder, open 'my computer', select your iPod and click 'ok'.
The music files should transfer to your iTunes.
If this doesn't work (and it may not because officially it's not supposed to), check out the instructions/suggestions here.
Music from iPod to computer (using option 2). This a manual method using "hidden folders" and although it works, it is a little more involved than other methods..
Much easier ways are to use one of the many 3rd party programs that copy music from the iPod to the computer.
One of the most recommended is Yamipod. This is a free program that transfers music from iPod back to the computer. However, it does not transfer playcounts/ratings etc.
Another free program is Pod Player.
SharePod is also freeware.
If you want to recover just the structure of playlists from the iPod (and not the actual song files themselves), there's iRepo for Windows. which I understand has this feature along with all the standard features for these programs.
iPodRip also has the feature enabling you to reconstruct playlists.

How can I change to location of pictures folder? I want to use a backup hardrive to store my photos and music on but still want to be able to go to the finder and click the photos/music button. How can I do this.

I want to use a backup hardrive to store my photos and music on but still want to be able to go to the finder and click the photos/music button. In windows i would just change the properties of the given library folder. How can I do this in Lion?

Move "~/Pictures", or if just iPhoto pictures, "~/Pictures/iPhoto Library", to the new location.
If you moved iPhoto, open iPhoto with the option key held, like Tony T1 writes. Select "Other Library" and navigate to the new location.
To add the new location to the sidebar in Finder, just drag it onto the sidebar.
Same process for iTunes, or whole music folder.

ITunes Won't Let Me Change Location Of Itunes Music Folder

iTunes isn't letting me change the location of the folder iTunes folder. I don't want the iTunes folder to be in the default 'My Music' folder, I'd rather keep it in 'My Documents'. Problem is, everytime I change the location (I change it through edit>preferences>advanced btw) it just makes a new one under 'My Music' as soon as I restart iTunes.
I've tried making a copy of the original iTunes folder thats located in 'My Music', copying it to 'My Documents', changing the location under the iTunes preferences, and then deleting the 'My Music' version but after a restart I simply get it back. What gives?
Btw, I have both 'Keep songs organized' and 'Copy Songs' turned off.

It will be easier to resolve your problem if you can settle for moving the iTunes Music folder - the sub-folder that actually contains all your iTunes media files - and leave the iTunes folder alone, since iTunes will, as you have discovered, continue to recreate a new iTunes folder when one isn't present.
That being said, can you confirm that you're following the instructions in this article in the Apple Knowledge Base. (The same method appplies whether you're moving the iTunes Music folder to a different drive or a different location on the same drive.)
After moving it, iTunes will not recreate the iTunes Music folder in the iTunes folder.

Moved iTunes folder to external hard drive

I have a 40-gig iBook and wanted to create more space on the hard drive so I pick up a 160 gig external hard drive. I copied the iTunes folded onto the new external hard drive including the iTunes Library, iTunes Music and the iTunes Music Library.xml files. I then went to the iTunes reference folder and changed the location of the folder to the new external hard drive. My music shows up in iTunes but when I select a song I get the “The song “___” could not be found. Would you like to locate it” error message. How do I fix this problem without relocating each song?

OK try this. Warning, while I am hoping it won't this might lose all your ratings, playcounts, and playlists.
Exit iTunes. Go into the iTunes folder and make a copy of the two database files onto your desktop. These are the files that contain the ratings, playcounts, playlists, etc. If you don't care about those things, then skip this and go to the next step.
Now create a NEW iTunes library by following these instructions...
How to open an alternate iTunes Library file or create a new one
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=304447
Now, grab, drag, and drop the iTunes music folder where your music and other media already is, onto your new library. It should now add all the stuff to the library AND know where it is now. It may create a new copy of everything on your hard drive, so you need to have enough room to do this. When it is done, you can go ahead and delete the old location you just dragged and dropped if it was all copied into the new library's music folder.
Again, if you don't care about ratings, playlists, etc. you can stop here since you now have everything back in your library and working. If you want to try and save your ratings, etc. we can try this...
Exit iTunes. Go get those copies of the database files you put on the desk top. Move them and overwrite the ones that were created in your brand new library. Restart iTunes. Did you get them back?

I moved my iTunes folder to an external hard drive, now itunes wants to sync all of music to my iPhone twice.

I copied my whole itunes folder to an external drive as id run out of space on my PC. I then changed the location of the folder on iTunes through preferances, but it gave me a warning which i just pressed no/cancel to without reading it, but i didnt realise that then it had not saved the new folder location. When i deleted the original folder, everything dissapeared from itunes meaning i had to reload everything from the new, moved, itunes folder. This wasnt a problem, except it had lost all memory of playlists and play counts etc. But now, when i try and sync my phone, it tells me there is not enough space on the phone as it must be trying to add all of the music from itunes to the phone as well as what is already on the phone.
Is there a way to upload everything from the phone to itunes, including play counts and playlists?
if not....
How do i just sync my phone to itunes without having to reset the phone and losing photographs, and without itunes trying to add everything twice?
Last question, why do Apple want to make this so difficult for me? What is wrong with plane old 'click and drag'??
Help me would be greatly apprerciated!! Thanks.

Close iTunes. Click the icon to start it, then press and hold down the left shift key. Keep holding until asked to choose or create a library. Choose the iTunes folder on your external drive. That should bring back all your playlists, ratings, play counts etc. You may have to settle for removing and reloading the media onto the device again. That's not too bad, but what you don't want to have happen is your apps being removed and reloaded as then you can lose settings and data. If that looks likely backup and then restore the device rather than sync it.
If for some reason rebuilding the library the way you did has moved files around then the restored library may have trouble finding things. If so post back and I'll explain what to do...

How to check the location of download folder programmatically in browsers like Safari, Firefox etc on Mac?

I am a part of Automation testing and I am downloading and installing the files programmatically with Selenium and Applescript on Mac. Is their any way to check the location of download folder on browsers programmatically?? if so pls suggest and also ways to change the location of download folder in Java or Applescript.

You will need to read and write to preference files. A job best suited for the shell with either command line tool, defaults or PlistBuddy. Each application preference file has its own structure. Reading Safari's preference file is easy.
defaults read $HOME/Library/Preferences/com.apple.Safari DownloadsPath
Firefox isn't as clear but this should give you the download path.
defaults read $HOME/Library/Preferences/org.mozilla.firefox NSNavLastRootDirectory
Firefox also keeps a sqlite database of downloads which may be useful to query. Command line tools can be wrapped in Applescript. Also, programmatically changing preference files on an open application is discouraged.

Need help changing OneDrive location in Windows 10

Running build 9879 right clicked on onedrive properties and couldnt find an option for changing the location like in windows 8 i changed the location in the registry but my files still sync to the default location any help would be greatly appreciated.

This worked for me:
Exit OneDrive by right-clicking icon in the tray.
Delete the OneDrive folder found in your User folder.
Restart OneDrive.
It should start with a wizard that gives you an option to change the location of your folder.
I hope this helps.
