How can I change where an iTunes download is saving?

My iPod has a larger capacity than my computer's hard disk, so I bought an external drive to store my music on. I moved my iTunes library folder to this G: drive and instructed future downloads to be sent there as well. This has worked well.
Problem--I'm downloading a whole season of Grey's Anatomy from iTunes, but I had forgotten to turn on the G: drive until about 10 minutes into the download. I think the TV shows are being saved to my computer, because the computer keeps crashing every 5 minutes when I try to resume the download (because of not enough space on my hard drive.) Question: How can I change the save location of a purchase that has already been started?

this will help

    The backup files for my devices are saved to my internal hard drive. I have a small internal hard drive and would like them to be saved to an external drive. How can I change where iTunes automatically backs up to?

    This has nothing to do with iTunes as iTunes provides no way to move or relocate the backup files.
    A search of google or the fourms would reveal ways to create a folder link to relocate the physical location where the files are stored.

    simply go to the iTunes homepage, scroll right down to the bottom and on the right side of the page you should see different columns of options. Click the 'Change Country' option and follow the instructions from there on.

  • Mountain Lion is downloading, how can I tell where it is downloading to and how much has downloaded?

    Mountain Lion is downloading, how can I tell where it is downloading to and how much has downloaded?

    In the "purchases" tab in the App Store you'll see a progress report. 
    Also once it completes downloading the installer will auto-launch.
    Once you get Mountain Lion installed, if you have the Downloads folder in your dock you will get a progress indicator in the dock while it's downloading :-)

  • How do I Change where iPod_Control\iTunes\ITunesControl files install?

    How do I Change where iPod_Control\iTunes\ITunesControl files install? This file has installed itself on a netwrok drive and not where I have my itunes folder? Why and how do I point this control file to the right location?

    hiya!
    How do I Change where iPod_Control\iTunes\ITunesControl files install?
    hmmm. those files should only appear in your ipod itself. if they are showing up on a network drive, it's plausible that you've got a Windows drive letter confusion going on in the background of all this:

  • How can I change the view of Download Folder in Dock

    I used to have my Download Folder in my Dock show up as a vertical string of icons with the latest at the bottom, when I clicked on the Folder. I recently had to drag the Downloads Folder back into the Dock after it had disappeared from there.  After doing that I now notice when I click on the Downloads icon in the Dock, it now shows up as a page full of icons.  I prefer the original vertical listing.  How can I change it back?
    Hope someone can help on this one.  Thanks.

    That's not an option. Under Display As, you have the view options for Downloads

  • How can I change where attachments open in emails?

    When I click on attachments in emails, I get a message to open in an app that stores passwords. It is not a word app.  I have no idea why this app is associated with opening attachments. Doesn't make sense.
    How do I change where email attachments open?

    Hold down the Option key on the keyboard then click-hold on the + in Safari.  The pop-up menu will say "Add to and Make Default" in gray at the top.  Select the destination for your bookmark.  The next time you click the +, the bookmark will go to that same location.  :-)

  • How can I change my apple itunes account

    After update I entered my iCloud name for my apple ID account. I need to replace this with my original apple ID account email address. How can I do this? Called apple suport but they can't help with this. I changed my iCloud account already. my iPhone, iMac and other iPads all used the original apple ID account email address so syncing is a problem. Is ther any way to restore my original apple ID account on my iPad 2?

    Click here for information. If you can't reset them through the method described in that article or by sending yourself a rescue email(the email may take a few hours to arrive), contact the iTunes Store staff via the link in the 'Additional Information' section.
    It isn't possible to create a rescue email address without correctly answering two of the questions. Nobody on these boards can reset them for you.

  • How can I change where my files are backed up to when changing to iOS 5?

    Hi,
    I have a Windows PC with two hard drives, one being an SSD and another being a regular hard drive.  I use the regular hard drive to store music, movies, media, all of that good stuff; I use the SSD to store the operating system and a few video games in order for better performance.  My question is, why, when I try to change my iPod to iOS 5, does it automatically back up to my SSD (C:) drive?  Is there any way that I can change the location to which my files are backed up?  I have plenty of space on my second hard drive, but I can't find anywhere in iTunes where there is an option to change this.
    Thanks!

    Command-click on the document's name in the window's title bar.

  • How can I tell where a file will be saved?

    I realize that sounds a bit slow, but I'm working on a project with many differen files (Keynote, iBooks, Pages, etc.). I make ever effort to work from one external drive, and usually succeed, but occasionally I grab a file from one of the backup drives. And when I do, it gets saved to that backup drive rather than the working drive. Thus my caution, and a desire to be able to double-check where a file's being saved.
    I can't figure out how to do that. When I want to check I have to search the recent file and see where it's located using the path indicator in Finder.
    I hope I've missed something simple.
    Thanks

    If you open a file from another drive, then that will be its save location unless you Duplicate and save or use Save As. So, if you open, edit, then save, it will save to the exact same location it was in.
    If you Duplicate, then Save (or Save As), it will present the file save dialog to pick the location and name.
    If you don't want to edit the files on the backup drive, you should lock them so you cannot save over them. That will force the system to tell you it cannot be written and choose another location.
    There is nothing that will ask you for a destination every time you do a plain save. That would drive everybody nuts.
    If the backup drive you are using supports versions under OS X, then you can lock the originals.
    Or, you can lock them in the Finder. Get Info, and check the lock checkbox. In Lion, all files would auto-lock, but everyone complained about how terrible that was, so it is now gone in Mountain Lion. Sounds like something you could use.

  • How can i change my home itunes control from my pc to my ipad

    I am in the process of moving all my files from my PC to storage devices and cloud in order to make my new iPad my primary device for everything. No more PC. one problem I'm trying to solve is that I can access my itunes setting acct. info on my laptop, but not my iPad. How do I make my iPad the primary iTunes device?

    Never mind, I figured it out. Like most things to do with Apple I'm finding, there is an easy solution. I was able to go to Settings>iTunes & App Store>Sign In> and access the personal info.
    So Long PC!
