How can I move all my music files in an specific folder to another

Hi
I am a iTunes for Windows user and I adore that program. From the beginning I have made my Library putting manually all my new music files in "D:\Mis Documentos\Mi Musica" folder, and then from here I add it to my iTunes Library.
The problem I have now is that I want to change my folder destination for example to "D:\Mis Documentos\Mi Música\iTunes\iTunes Music\" but the only way that I now is moving all files to that new folder and then creating a new ibrary but in that way I will lose all my counters and other thongs in the old ITL file. Also I could consolidate the library changing the folder but I don't like the way of iTunes to put the files with folders with artist and album I prefer to have all the music files in the same folder with any folder inside.
If anyone can tell me how can I do this or if there is any script o plugin for Windows to administrate this kind of moving, please answer me.
Thanks

Don't move files manually! That indeed causes iTunes to lose track. Use the command Advanced > Consolidate Library. Before you begin, read up on Consoidate in the Help file so you understand what it does.
When you are done consolidating, you can delete the extras if you wish.

How can I move the 'Itune music file' to another disk

Hello
I am using ITUNE in a Winfow XP environnement. I am running out of space on my C disk. How can I move my ITUNE music file
C:\Documents and Settings\Yves\My Documents\My Music\iTunes\iTunes Music
to another bigger partition on the same computer?
Sorry if that question as been answered before I may have missed it.
Thanks Yves.

Sorry, there is no way to move that file out of the Profile folder, or specify a different location for it, built into Firefox.
One extension that might be able to help you do that is Pike's Bookmark Backup extension. BB allows you to specify which files are backed-up and where those backup files are saved. It also has a backup interval setting, IIRC. <br />

How can I move the permissions.sqlite file to a new folder or a subfolder?

I am using a syncing program to keep cookie exceptions on multiple computers all equivalent. Unfortunately this is causing a problem because places.sqlite changes frequently and cannot be synced while FF is running. So I want to move the permissions.sqlite file to a new folder or a subfolder so I can only sync that one folder. Is there a way to specify the location of this file?

New computer, how can I move all my music from my old computer?

I have just bought a new computer, but all of my music in iTunes for my iPod is on my old computer. How can I transfer my music to the new computer?

Have a look at this article: "How to use your iPod to move your music to a new computer" http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=300173-en

How can I import all the music files on my computer directly into my iTunes library?

I recently cleaned my computer of all junk files and this resulted in a loss of all my music from my iTunes library. All of the files are still on my computer but I can only find them one at a time is there a way to speed up this process?

Ok, go to your downloads in itunes and right click on what you wish to remove and click delete, then confirm the dialoague box and it should remove it. I did this with a free tv episode to test it out. Just now worked. If you have problems try updating itunes and then try again.

How can I move ALL Logic Pro Files (except for the app itself) to an external?

Hi,
So I'm looking to move all my Logic content to my external hard drive and still be able to use the program effectively and efficiently.
I have about 5 years worth of content (adding up to over 100 GB of data in audio/instrument/project files) and I think it's time to find an alternative to suffocating my internal hard drive.
I'm looking for the easiest way to move all my content to my external and delete it from my internal (without altering the location of the app itself).
I understand "managing project assets", but this method requires me to open EVERY project one by one and change the location settings. I'm basically trying to find a way to move every project and its appropriate audio files to my external so that I can open them from there without having to go through each project one by one... I tried just copying and pasting the entire "Logic" folder onto the external and then deleted it from my internal, but when I attempted to open a project from my external's copied file, none of the content was found because the original locations of the internal were still embedded in the project. Also, none of the software instruments could be found because they, too, were originally located on the internal drive. Luckily I backed up my hard drive beforehand, so a simple restore brought me back to sanity.
I understand managing the project assets, but is going one project by one project at a time really the only way? There's gotta be another way :/
Thanks for any and all help.
P.S. I'm still on the Logic Pro 9 train, but that shouldn't matter too much. (hopefully)
Specs:
Mac Book Pro 13"
OS X Version 10.9.5
4 GB RAM (lame)
2.66 GHz Intel Core
54.2 GB Free hard drive space (super lame)
App: Logic Pro 9

Hello lramospsych,
To move your iTunes media library to a different location, take a look at the article below to walk you through that process. Make sure that you have everything organized before you move everything over.

How can i move all the music from my playlist on my ipod onto...

OK, I have a 4G 20GB ipod that has reached its capacity...I have upgraded to the 5G 60GB video...I want to move my entire playlist from my old ipod onto the new one. I tried to click and carry the playlist onto the itunes playlist but I cannot?

I feel I've explained plenty what you must do but you aren't getting it.
All music on your old iPhone should be in your iTunes library on your computer. Transfer the music from your iTunes library on your computer to your new iPhone in the same way it was transferred from your iTunes library to your old iPhone - via the iTunes sync/transfer process.
Since you prefer the manual way, you must manually drag and drop the same 377 songs from your iTunes library to your new iPhone - in the same way the 377 songs were manually transferred from your iTunes library to your old iPhone.
Or you can sync which provides more options overall. Create an iTunes playlist for the 377 songs. Select Sync Music under the Music tab for your iPhone sync preferences with iTunes and choose selected playlists, artists, albums, and genres. Select the iTunes playlist below that includes the 377 songs followed by a sync.

No... do not move programs.
About the iTunes library files
Your iTunes library files track the media you add to iTunes, how you've organized it, and other information such as playlists. By default, these two files are in your iTunes folder:
Mac OS X: /Users/username/Music/iTunes/
Windows XP: C:\Documents and Settings\username\My Documents\My Music\iTunes\
Windows Vista: C:\Users\username\Music\iTunes\
Windows 7: C:\Users\username\My Music\iTunes\
Windows 8: C:\Users\username\My Music\iTunes\

Consolidate your files in the iTunes folder
You can consolidate all the files in your library in the iTunes folder—for example, to make it easier to move your library to a new computer.
Choose File > Library > Organize Library.
Select “Consolidate files.”Files remain in their original locations, and copies are placed in the iTunes folder.
To create folders (Music, Movies, TV Shows, Podcasts, Audiobooks, and so on) inside your iTunes folder, and place all your imported media files in the appropriate folders, select “Reorganize files in the folder ‘iTunes Media.’”
Locate your iTunes files
Do either of the following:
Find out where a file is stored: Select the item in iTunes, and choose File > Get Info. The path to the file is shown at the bottom of the Summary pane (next to Where).
Show the file in Windows Explorer: Select the song, and choose File > Show in Explorer.

Hello Sudhanshu Mishra,
Thank you for using Apple Support Communities!
You can have iTunes reference the content where ever it is on your HDD without copying the content to the iTunes library, thus using twice the space.
If iTunes is set to "Copy files to the iTunes Music folder when adding to library," iTunes will copy all content that is added to the iTunes library to the iTunes Music folder. To adjust this setting or change the location of this folder, go to the Advanced tab in iTunes Preferences.

http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1473
Additionally if you want the content to then ALSO be located in your iTunes Library folder so everything is all kept together nice and tidy, use this:
Consolidate your files in the iTunes folder
Depending on how you imported items into iTunes, some items in your library might be stored in different locations (in another folder or on another hard disk, for example).
You can consolidate all the files in your library in the iTunes folder—for example, to make it easier to move your library to a new computer.
Choose File > Library > Organize Library.
Select “Consolidate files.”Files remain in their original locations, and copies are placed in the iTunes folder.
To create folders (Music, Movies, TV Shows, Podcasts, Audiobooks, and so on) inside your iTunes folder, and place all your imported media files in the appropriate folders, select “Reorganize files in the folder ‘iTunes Media.’”
