Copied and pasted my itunes folder to a new internal drive- can I consolidate the library?

I ran out of space for my images so I copied and pasted the whole itunes folder over to a new internal hard drive. I then deleted the itunes folder on the original drive. I went to preferences in itunes and changed the location of the music folder.
Unfortunately, the music library is not connecting to that new location, it is only filling with things from icloud.
I looked up some instructions and now find out that the way to do it is to create a new folder and instead of manually copy and pasting, consolidating the files via itunes.
What can I do now that I have done it manually?
Thank you

This is the process I usually recommend.
Backup the library with this User Tip.
Restore the backup to your new computer using the same tool used to back it up.
Deauthorize the old computer if you no longer want to access protected content on it.
Keep your backup up-to-date in future.
If you've done the backup properly, delete any existing empty iTunes library that has already been made then copy in the entire iTunes folder from the external drive into your profile's music folder. Start iTunes. It should "just work" with no need to import anything.

Hi All,

Thanks in advance

Hi Vandy,
Thanks for your response...
Above coding is not worked out for moving folders...
But using forum I got below function, it works great
function copyFolder(sourceFolder, destinationFolder) {
    var sourceChildrenArr = sourceFolder.getFiles();
    for (var i = 0; i < sourceChildrenArr.length; i++) {
        var sourceChild = sourceChildrenArr[i];
        var destinationChildStr = destinationFolder.fsName + "/" + sourceChild.name;
        if (sourceChild instanceof File) {
            copyFile(sourceChild, new File(destinationChildStr));
        else {
            copyFolder(sourceChild, new Folder(destinationChildStr));
function copyFile(sourceFile, destinationFile) {
    createFolder(destinationFile.parent);
    sourceFile.copy(destinationFile);
function createFolder(folder) {
    if (folder.parent !== null && !folder.parent.exists) {
        createFolder(folder.parent);
    folder.create();
Any other coding is also appreciatable....
Thanks in advance

How do I copy and paste from one page or file to another page or file - on the same screen?

How do I copy and paste from one page or file to another - on the same screen?

Open both of your images in the Editor. Click on the image you want to copy and press Ctrtl+A (select all) followed by Ctrl+C (copy) then click the tab for your other image and press Ctrl+V (paste)
Alternatively click on your background image then simply drag the second image from the photo/project bin and drop it into the main editor workspace on top of the background image. Use the move tool to position and the corner handles of the bounding box to scale.

When using Yahoo Mail in Firefox, I can't copy and paste pictures from a third-party host. I can do this in MSIE 8.

I'm accustomed to copying pictures that I placed on a third-party host (Photobucket or Multiply) and pasting them into the body of a Yahoo Mail message. I can't do that on Firefox. When I click "Paste," nothing happens.

Mail app: copy and past in draft folder kills the mail app every time

Create an email and save it (instead of sending it), the go to the draft folder, copy that draft (command,c) and try to paste it (command v) to create multiple versions of that email and the mail app dies every time. I do this to create multiple copies for mass emails which brings me to problem 2, the Mail app cannot send to multiple email addresses.

This has been really bothering me. I came up with this solution and have tested it. I hope it works for you too.
Create your first e-mail
Save it to your Drafts folder, in the usual way (in whichever account you're going to send from)
Left-drag this e-mail FROM your drafts folder on to your DESKTOP
Double click the icon it makes
When it opens, from the Mail.app menu bar click Message > Copy to > click on the Drafts folder you want your e-mail to be saved in
The e-mail that you double clicked from the desktop should still be open
Now use this key-combination alt-⌘-T and you'll copy another version of the same draft e-mail to your drafts folder
Repeat the key-combination for as many versions of the e-mail you need - you can work at some speed, it keeps up - no crashes. They will all go to your Drafts folder in the same way the Copy/Paste feature used to work
Once you have as many copies in there as you need, double click each one from your drafts folder, add the recipient address and any customisation and SEND!
This problem appears in quite a few threads on the Apple forum, so I will cross post.
I've not seen this solution anywhere else, or anything similar.
I'm happy for you to share this, once you've tested it, and you can follow on http://twitter.com/philipchapman
GOOD LUCK!

Set the right side to Secondary button.

Copy and paste applications folder?

Hey,
I used to back up my powerbook to an external drive partition using Disk Utility but niw it throws up an error after a few seconds of copying over, and I can't format the external drive as it has other important stuff on the other partitions. So I've been copying and pasting my home folder ( which works fine ) to this partition.
What I was wondering was if I copy over my Apps folder too, in the event of my Mac dying and a new one arriving, would I be able to import my Apps folder via copy and paste and have everything sitting like it is now??
Or does anyone know why disk utility crokes everytime??
many thanks
John

I'm not sure why Disk Utility won't do what you wish, - what is the error it gives you? - but I don't think that using copy and paste will work on your Applications folder.
The reason is that while some applicaions are self contained, many have references to folders in the /Library or /System/Library (for instance any the required an Admin password to install) as well as to your own Home/Library folder, and any of these can only be re-installed with the supplied installers.
Instead of this, you could CLONE the hard drive which would make a complete copy of the drive on your external disk. There are several apps which will do this for you.
In relation to copying and pasting your home folder, have you considered using software that will make incremental back ups (that is, only copy the changed files, which is a lot faster. There are many out there from the very reasonable to the horrendously expensive.

Crashing - copy and paste iTunes URL into hyperlink panel

Is anyone else having InDesign crash when they copy and paste an iTunes URL into their hyperlink panel? I am!
Very annoying since I'm making an app that has over 50 of them!
Thanks.

I never use the hyperlinks panel. Instead I find that creating no fill/no stroke buttons gives me a better (more stable) results.

How to NOT retain formatting when copying and pasting text

Captivate 7 keeps the formatting from my text sources when I paste into a Text Caption which is not what I need. Anything I could find in the forums where questions relating to "keeping" the source formatting. I don't want this, I want Captivate to keep its text formatting when I paste text into a text caption. I even did a test creating a new project and using one of the Cap 7 themes. If I paste text in the default capture caption style object, it retains the formatting of the copied text source. I have been working with Captivate 7 since a few months now and, until this morning, when I copied and pasted text from another source into my Captivate Text Caption, it retained the format of my Captivate Text Caption object. This is exactly what I need. How can I get this behavior back?
I appreciate any help. Thank you.

Hi there
Well, first I would report it as undesired behavior and possibly ask for an enhancement that allows us to right-click and paste without formatting. Do this using the link below:
http://www.adobe.com/go/wish
For now, you have a couple of options.
1. Perform a side trip. Open a text editor such as Windows Notepad or Apple Textpad and paste, then copy back to the clipboard. Then paste the text into the caption. (When pasting into the text editor, formatting is stripped)
2. On Windows machines, you can usually find a clipboard utility that allows you to paste as pure text. In fact, one such application is called PureText.
PureText Home Page (Note that I have no affiliation with them and nothing to gain if you choose to use the product. Just wanted to make you aware of it.)
