Install iTunes.
Once install, hold SHIFT and launch iTunes.
When prompted, point iTunes to the correct location for the iTunesLibrary.itl file which should be in the iTunes folder under <user>/Music on the old drive.

ok here goes. I have so much music I don't want to store it all on my computer and would like to store on an external hard drive. So if all my music is on the external hard drive, how will iTunes see it in order to play the music. Thanks

I would like to take a iTunes play list and put it on a USB drive for my car radio to stay in my car. Is there a way to do this through iTunes so you have all the song info and there's no number in front of the name of the song? Is there a program?
iTunes only syncs to Apple devices.
Assuming the media is not DRM protected, any of the media can be dragged and dropped from iTunes onto other drives (external, flash, etc) as the user chooses. -
I would like to transfer my iTunes and photos etc from my PC to my new iMac via a external hard drive. Would somebody recommend one. I read that the Western Digital Mybook Essential 3.0 is good. Though as Mac has 2.0 is this fast enough? I am a basic user, surfing only.
If you plan on using the WD with the Mac after the iTunes transfer I would strongly recommend against WD. WD external HD's tend to be the most troublesome with Macs. If you intend to use the drive for backup using Time Machine or creating a bootable clone then I'd recommend a higher quality drive than WD. The drives I'd recommend in that case would be:
OWC Mercury Elite Pro series
LaCie d2 Quadra series
G-Tech G-DRIVE series
These are all high quality drives and enclosures with similar features. Personally I use the LaCie's however I would be happy to have OWC and G-Tech on my desk too. FWIW I've been using the LaCie's for 4 years and have 4 of them, all work perfectly and have never given me any trouble.

I have copied many photo's from another laptop to my Mac. The older photo's are in directories with names that help me select what I need to view. I would like to have all my imported new photo's also bee added to the directory structure I have in Finder but my new photo's are all in iPhoto. I want to use directories for storing and iPhoto for viewing. Is this possible or do I need to have all my photo's in iPhoto??
MitchiPhoto is not a Photo Viewer. It's a Photo Manager and designed for looking after the files while you organise the Photos. It really works much better if you let it manage those files. If you use iPhoto you never go near those files because iPhoto is your start point for anything you want to do with your Photos - the point of the pplication.
You can run iPhoto in Referenced mode, where it does not copy the files to the Library, but I caution you that you are making life a lot more difficult for yourself by doing that.

I have recently acquired Lightroom 5 as part of a Canon camera purchase. I currently have Lightroom 4 so would like to install Lightroom 5 as an upgrade. However, having gone through the install process, Lightroom 5 has installed separately. So please can you tell me how to re-install Lightroom 5 as an upgrade to Lightroom 4 instead?
Upgrades do not replace their older versions and even if they did you did not purchase an upgrade (which is simply a discounted version of a full version). If you want to get rid of Lightroom 4 go ahead

I originally had an iPhone 4 but switched service carriers back in June. When I bought the new iPhone 4s, all my information from the iPhone 4 was saved as a backup on the iCloud. On my new phone in the iCloud settings, Storage & Backup, it shows the backup from the iPhone 4. This backup is taking up a lot of space on my phone and I would like to delete to avoid having to purchase more space. However, I know I have pictures on this backup from the iPhone 4 that I would like to view and save on my computer if at all possible before deleting. Is it possible to view the photos from this backup? If so, how? Thank you in advance for any assistance. I hope this makes sense, lol, I'm not very computer literate.
Unfortunately with the issues I mentioned above I don't even think I have enough space for that on the computer! I have literally moved all moy pictures, music, etc. to another drive and all that's left are some small docs and applications. I don't know how to find any more space on the thing and can't get things updated until I fix this...

I have just purchased a new desk top. I would like to get my itunes into my new computer. I have downloaded the itunes program. How do I transfer the tunes I have in my itunes account into this computer? I know I have done it before, but can't seem to find how to do it. Thanks.
iTunes: How to move [or copy] your music to a new computer [or another drive] - http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4527
Quick answer if you let iTunes manage your music: Copy the entire iTunes folder (and in doing so all its subfolders and files) intact to the other drive. Start iTunes with the option (shift on Windows) key held down and guide it to the new location of the library. -
I have an external hard drive with numerous WMA files that I would like to download to iTunes. How do I do this on my MAC?
You can't write to it because it's formatted as NTFS which OS X will read but not write to. If you want to continue using the drive with both a PC and OS X you will need to download and install NTFS-3G so you can then write to it from your Mac. You can get NTFS-3G at:
http://www.macupdate.com/app/mac/24481/ntfs-3g
If you want to use the drive exclusively with your Mac then move the data off it and reformat it in Disk Utility (Applications - Utilities - Disk Utilities) as Mac OS Extended (Journaled.) -
My Macbook is running on OS 10.5.8. However, I forgot my admin password. I would like to find out if I can use OS 10.6 CD to reset the admin password while upgrading OS? Also, will all my files be still present after upgrade??
1. Should be possible to do that; go to the Utilities menu and select 'reset password' before starting the installer. (while booted from the DVD of course)
2. Standard installation of SL only replaces system components; applications, user data and preference settings should not be affected.
3. But you do have a backup just in case, don't you? -
I would like to connect my Ipad 2 wirelessly via 3G with a wireless rooter. The Ipad does not have a slot for a card, so it will have to connect to the rooter via bluetooth. Is this possible? If so, where can I buy such a rooter? Many thanks! Ina
I'm not really understanding what you want. You mention all 3 types of connections: wireless, 3G and bluetooth, but I'm not clear on what you want to do. What the router is supposed to do, and why do you think it would need to connect via bluetooth?
I'm thinking you want to buy a Mifi type device that will allow you to connect to a cellular network and then connect the iPad to that device via the Wifi network the Mifi produces.
Is that so? -
after i erased whole data from the ipod touch 3rd gen. when i put back to sync it. it says in the windows connect to itunes, which i did,i also installed new itunes but still it doesnt recognise . pls help me if u have gone thru same trouble like me
ThanksI do not understand what "it says in the windows connect to itunes" means?
What is "it" and what is "windows"?
Maybe:
iOS: Device not recognized in iTunes for Mac OS X
Or
See
iOS: Device not recognized in iTunes for Windows
- I would start with
Removing and Reinstalling iTunes, QuickTime, and other software components for Windows XP
or
Removing and reinstalling iTunes and other software components for Windows Vista, Windows 7, or Windows 8
However, after your remove the Apple software components also remove the iCloud Control Panel via Windows Programs and Features app in the Window Control Panel. Then reinstall all the Apple software components
- Then do the other actions of:
iOS: Device not recognized in iTunes for Windows
paying special attention to item #5
- New cable and different USB port
- Run this and see if the results help with determine the cause

I Have a samsung smart TV and use TVO to record free to air programmes .
i would like to purchase from iTunes using my iPad , a TV series called outlander but do not know how to transfer and save the episodes to my TIVO
please helpMany videos in the iTunes store are protected so that they can only be viewed on Apple Devices signed into your iTunes account. If that is the case then your TiVo will not be able to read the files. If you know how to get a video file onto your TiVo from a flash drive, then just plug a flash drive into your Mac and drag one of the videos from inside the iTunes window onto the icon for the flash drive on your Desktop or in the left sidebar of a Finder window. That will copy the actual file onto the flash drive.
