Consolidating library but to a different folder than itunes music

so if i consolidate my library, will it all just be copied to my "itunes music" folder? or can i create a different folder and have my library consolidated to that folder? here's my problem: i have lots and lots of music, and whenever i get more, i put it in the "itunes music" folder, so as to never get confused. but, i have started to sift through my music and have deleted countless songs just to save space. but i only deleted them off of itunes, therefore the files are still in the "itunes music" folder and hogging space. there are far too many files in there to just sift through and find the ones i deleted and delete them off my hard drive, so i would like to just copy all the files that are still in my itunes library to a different folder and then delete the old "itunes music" folder. see what i mean? please help

  • How to generate & publish  webhelp html files in different folder than default folder

    Hi All,
    I am new to robo help. I have a requirement to generate & publish webhelp html files in a different folder than default folder.
    Could anyone please tell me the steps to change the folder
    Thanks
    Rashmi

    You change the generate folder and filename in the first field on the first page of the wizard. It must be a folder on your hard disk.
    You change the publish folder in the last page of the wizard. Anywhere you like.

  • 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.

  • Computer has different name than Itunes for Ipod Touch

    I have an Ipod Touch 4th Generation 32gb. I have had no problems with it or with Itunes. My Mom came last Saturday to visit and she needed to charge her Ipod Touch so I hooked it to my computer where I always have a cord and charged it for about 45 minutes or so. I have no problem with my Ipod or with Itunes BUT when I go look at the device now on my computer,when it is connected to USB cord, it show "Marys Ipod" now instead of "Steves Ipod". In Itunes, it is still "Steves Ipod" and I can sync and all but I really want to get rid of "Marys Ipod" off my computer even though when I open it up, it is my ipod, just mislabed. I know because it has my pictures and her's is only 8gb. My Ipad2, is fine when I hook it up to the USB cord, It says "Steves Ipad" but when I hook my USB cord to my ipod touch, it still reads "Marys Ipod". Is this something I should be concerned about or is it not worth the hassle of trying to restore, etc? I have tried to change the name, but Windows won't allow. I do have Windows 7. I have also got the new update on Itunes and the new software(5.0) version.
    I am stumped. I have googled this and have searched for over 3 hours today on how to fix this. Ready to bang my head against the wall. I have did a reboot on Ipod, I have restarted the computer. I have not reinstalled anything including Itunes.
    Does anyone have any suggestions on what I can do? I would sure appreciate the help. Thanks in advance.

    I just found the answer to this after hours of searching online. Make sure your iPod is hooked up to your computer & turned on.
    Click on "Start" and in the search box type "regedit". This will display a program called "Registry Editor". Open it.
    Click on the "Edit" tab and select "Find...". Type "Mary" in the search box and click "Find Next". It will bring up a list of everything that has "Mary" in it. (You may have to click on "Find next" under the "Edit" tab in order to find the associated items that have something to do with both "iPod" and "Mary".) What you need to pay attention to is not the NAME, but the DATA column. For me, the wrong iPod name was listed in 2 places in the data column. The actual names of those 2 items were "FriendlyName" and "Label".
    Once you find the associated items that have to do with both the iPod and "Mary", right click on one of them. Select "Modify...". A box will open giving a "Value Name" box and a "Value Data" box. The "Value Data" box should say "Mary's iPod". All you have to do is change it to "Steve's iPod" and click "OK". Repeat the "Modify..." and renaming of the "Value Data" steps for every item that says something about "Mary's iPod".
    Close the Registry Editor. Open "my computer" and see that it changed the name of your iPod back to "Steve's iPod".
    Best Answer So far.....it really works...Thanks a million

  • My iTunes won't sync my tones (ringtones) to my iPhone 4.  Every time I check "sync tones" my iTunes library says that my iPhone is connected to another iTunes library, but I don't have another iTunes library.  What do I do?

    Hi HB3207!
    I have a couple of suggestions for you to attempt to resolve this issue. First, I would try re-creating your iTunes library following the instructions listed here:
    iTunes: How to re-create your iTunes library and playlists
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1451
    You may also need to simply try restarting your phone and attempting to sync again after a restart. Information on completing this can be found here:
    iPhone, iPad, iPod touch: Turning off and on (restarting) and resetting
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1430
    Thanks for coming to the Apple Support Communities!

    my iphone plays pandora and youtube music but it will not play my itunes music whenever i try to hit play the button flips over to pause as normal but the music dosent work?

    I can understand this with videos you are streaming, i.e. maybe you have a slow data connection.
    Videos on your phone should not do this.  Try a reset by pressing the home and sleep buttons until you see the Apple logo, ignoring the slider. Takes about 5-15 secs of button holding and you won't lose any data or settings.

  • How do I set a different folder than the Windows MyDocuments/Downloads folder? I do not use 'My Documents' at all, all my saved files go to other hard drives for storage, and I do not want to bother with the My Docs route. I used to have downloads set to

    I want to set a different folder from the My Documents/Downloads folder for Firefox to put everything I download, like I used to have it. I recently rebuilt my computer and reinstalled everything from WinXP to security software to Firefox, and I cannot find any options anywhere to set a different folder like I used to have it... with the same software, other than it being a newer iteration of Ff. So tell me, am I losing my mind so bad that I just can't remember how I did it before, or have things changed so much that what I want is no longer possible? Please, someone tell me how to set it to do what I want, I can't stand to have what I do on my computer dictated by programmers who only think that they know what people want.

  • Combing two large libraries (over 1.25 TB total) and music will not show up in library but does in media folder. Help?

    I'm a Windows PC user, and I'm currently in the process of combining my 12,000+ song library on my laptop (we'll call it Library A) with a 180,000+ song library (Library B, and yes, one-hundred-and-eighty thousand) onto a new hard drive. I have successfully moved Library A from my laptop onto my new hard drive. The method I have tried so far to move the Library B music into A on the new hard drive is by using the "Add Folder to Library" and selecting only a small portion of the folders in Library B's media folders as not to overload iTunes and to be able to pinpoint problems.
    This worked for a few small iterations but the moment I tried doing half of the "A" artists (alphabetically), most of the music doesn't show up in the library. Some of it doesn't show up in the regular library but in the "Recently Added" playlist, and some don't show up in either. I have even tried adding just single files now and those don't show up at all.
    THEY ALL SHOW UP IN THE MEDIA FOLDER ON THE NEW HARD DRIVE. That is why I think this might be true but I'm not sure: I've heard that it is because iTunes needs to process all the songs before it shows up in the actual library. Is this true? I have waited over an hour for adding about 6,000 songs; half showed up right in the beginning and half haven't yet. When I added about 4,000 just before this, they all showed up without any problems.
    Any help? And is there an easier, error-free way to add this many songs into a new library at once? I'll keep this updated for anyone trying. Thanks in advance!
    I have tried signing out and signing in and that does not work either.

    hey.
    finally somebody with the same problem! i bought a new external drive because i was running out of space and backed up my entire library. then my computer crashed and i wanted to take advantage of a clean drive and not add my whole library back onto my computer. i'd love to be able to access my music folder on the external and have that show up as my library on iTunes when connected...
    i followed all the steps as closely as possible and am pretty confident that my advanced preferences in iTunes are correct, but the library does not show these songs from the external drive. have you had any feedback or figured it out on your own?! i hope so, i'm at a deadend.

  • Restore file to a different folder than original?

    Hi I work with a lot of password protected word documents (can't be viewed in quick look)... and often want to look at the changes that are made with previous versions. Is there a way to be able to restore time machine backups to a different folder so it doesnt overwrite the current version

    Yes, you can!
    While in the TM interface, just choose the file(s) that you want to restore to a different location, click on the Gear Icon and choose "Copy ...". Then come out of the TM browser by clicking Cancel or pressing Esc key and browse over to the destination folder in the Finer. Right click and choose "Paste ...". This will restore the file from your chosen backup to this folder.

  • I can see my library, but can't connect to the iTunes store

  • HT1349 i just published my playlist from laptop to itunes store, so i can listen in my desktop. but i cant find it in itunes music.!

    i decided to publish my playlist so i can listen to it at my desktop. i cant find it in Itunes store.
    is there a charge to publish a playlist?

    You may want to repost this in the iTunes forum as this is the iPhone forum. I am afraid I can't help you with your question. I don't understand which desktop computer do you want to use to listen to your music. If it is the one you use to manage your iTunes library, your playlist would be created in iTunes. I hope someone with more experience will help you with your question.

  • News in different folder than /documents/News

    Hi!
    I've to display different News for different users/roles.
    I've created deltalinks for the news-iView (com.sap.km.NewsBrowser_0) and entered the path to the initial displayed folder /documents/Public Documents/group1/HotNews and the path to the rootfolder for navigation to the same value.
    When starting the browser for a user of this group, the News-Browser displays a message "No entry's found", but there are files in the folder.
    The files and the folder's rights are set to "full rights".
    Thanks for any hints
    Peter

    For creating news authoring iview create news by using xml form builder (i.e)
    goto content management-> goto public documents->folder-> new->forms->sap demo news.
    Here create the news u need and add to a folder
    Now create a KM Navigational iview
    In the properties of tht iview:
    1)path to initially displayed folder: (root of folder containing news eg:/documents,/Public Documents/foldername)
    check the path of your correctly and give above.
    2)Layout set : NewsExplorer (if u want to give this iview to news authors for editing for creating news )
    or else
    NewsBrowser(if u want to give this iview to general users)

  • How do I copy backed-up files from an external hard drive back to my MBA, but under a different user than the one from which they were backed up?

    On the advice of the Chicago Mac Genius Bar, in order to get better performance on my few years old MBA, I copied my Home folders (but not Library) to an external hard drive, created a new user, deleted the old user, and tried to copy the Home folder contents from the external hard drive back to the MBA under the new user. However, I get an error message and can't open most of the folders on the external hard drive (e.g. "The folder “Desktop” can’t be opened because you don’t have permission to see its contents.") Help! Thanks.

    As captfred says, yes (as long as the drive is formatted for a Mac, not Windoze).
