HOW Do I Store All My MP3 files on an external drive, and point iTunes?

I see on this forum that folks are storing byte-hogs like MP3 and MP4 files on an external hard drive, leaving the internal drive with more room for processing.
My internal drive is full, so I got a 2 Tb external drive where I want to store my MP3 and MP4 files.
After I move the files to the external drive, HOW do I point iTunes, iPhoto, and iMovie to the external drive?

Type "move itunes library to external drive" into the search bar at the top of this screen next to "Support".

How do i back up iTunes and i photo to my external drive

My hard drive is nearly full and this is mainly down to old DVD's that I have loaded on my iMac that i can watch through Apple TV to save all the clutter. I have a 4TB Lacie external drive that I would like to transfer them to. How would I do this?
Thank you

Hi ROSSS77,
Welcome to the Apple Support Communities!
You can move your entire iTunes Media folder to your external hard drive to free up space on your internal hard drive. Please read over and use the information in the attached article to complete this process.

Have a great day,

How do I back up my iTunes and playlists to an external drive?

my laptop has recently crashed and I've lost over 8500+ songs. I am in the process of restoring my songs, and need to back up songs/ playlists to an external drive as I go, can anybody assist, please?
thanks

See Make a split library portable for advice on getting your library into the correct shape for storing on an external drive.
See Recover your iTunes library from your iPod or iOS device for advice on retrieving any useful information from your devices.
See Backup your iTunes for Windows library with SyncToy as suggested by hhgttg27 for backup advice. If you are going to run your library from an external drive connected to your laptop then you need a second external drive to act as backup to the first. Hard drives can fail at any time without warning.

ITunes lost all of my files on the external drive, thousands of songs. Is there a way to load them back in without doing one at a time?

I've just updated the lates iTunes, and now it seems to have lost all of my music. I have thousands of songs on an external drive, none of them can be found...the songs are in multiple folders on the external drive so the media folder to the external folder doesn't fix the problem...iTunes isn't seeing songs that are in different folders with sub folders. Is there a way to have iTunes discover the music on the external drive to avoid reloading each of them one at a time?

When you first download iTunes onto a PC, it will give you the option to allow iTunes to search for your music. I'd suggest removing iTunes from your PC, connecting your external drive and then download iTunes from scratch. I'm pretty sure if you let it, it will find the music for you.

I have put my iPhoto library and iTunes library to an external drive to free up space on my Mac. How do I back up these libraries that are on my external drive?

I believe that Time Machine will only back up my Mac hard drive and will not know that my libraries are on an external drive.
I essentially have my Mac, 1 external for time machine back ups, and 1 external dedicated to my iPhoto and iTunes libraries.
I want to be able to have a back-up of my iPhoto and iTunes libraries that are on my external drive. I don't believe Time Machine will know to back up those files. Am I right? What is the solution?

It is that simple?
So you can have Time Machine backup several drives as long as it is not in the exclusions list?

If Adobe has disabled the ability to use Lightroom 5.7 to view the images in the external harddrive, how does one view the images in the file on the external drive without bringing them back to the Lightroom Library?

Jpeg images dragged over from Photoshop are veiwable as thumbnails on the external harddrive. However images brought over as RAW of DNG are not viewable. Is there anyway to view these type images on the external harddrive? It would be nice to have a glimpse of what you are bringing into Lightroom by just looking on the external harddrive as you can with the jpegs.

From the Library simply click the import button and navigate to your folder on the ehd. Choose the folder and click Add at the top of the dialog. You should see thumbnail previews in the import dialog where you can select what to import.

I moved iTunes folder location, now all my personal song ratings and playlists are gone. How can I get them back? All the iTunes files are intact, just in a new location. Running iTunes 11.1.5.5

I have been dragging my files to a external drive to have a back-up for them and I lost some of my folders. They just went completely missing. I didn't delete them, and it was all stuff that I have worked on in the past month. How do I get them back?

You really should be doing backups with an actual backup application, especially one that will work automatically, and, if your external HD is large enough, back up your entire system. These can automatically back up only what's changed since the previous backup, and some will keep "archive" copies of things you've changed or deleted, also.
Too many things can go wrong, such as your internal HD failing, and you'll have a major project to reinstall everything.
You already have Time Machine, built-in to OSX. You might want to review the Time Machine Tutorial, and perhaps browse Time Machine - Frequently Asked Questions.
#27 in the second link mentions some alternatives, too.

I lost my iPhone. i got a new one, how can i back up all the contacts i had in the old one (iPhone 4S).

i lost my iPhone. i got a new one, how can i back up all the contacts i had in the old one (iPhone 4S). When i go to Itunes it start as a new iphone.

Contacts are not a part of back up.
Contacts are sync with a compatible programme on your computer depending on your operating system (Windows or Mac). For example, Microsoft Outlook (for both Windows and Mac), Windows Contacts (for Windows) and Addressbook (for Mac).
Or contacts are also backed up in iCloud (depending if you chose to do so).
So, sync back the contacts from any of these programmes. If you have not made a backup of your contacts in any of these progammes, then they are gone.

- Transfer iTuns purchases:
iTunes Store: Transferring purchases from your iPhone, iPad, or iPod to a computer
- Transfer other music by using a third-party program lke one of those discussed here:
Copy music from Ipod to new computer...: Apple Support Communities
- Connect the iPod to the computer and make a backup by right-clicking on the iPOd under Devices in iTunes and selecting Back Up.
- Restore the iPod from that backup. That should also get you the update.
- If in the USA, you can also redownload most iTunes purchases by:
Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store

I accidentally delete all my photo in the "all my files". How could I back up all the photo? (time machine is turn off)

I accidentally delete all my photo in the "all my files".
actually I delete every thing in ALL MY FILES.
How could I back up all the photo?
and other data, such as movies and so on?
Do I need to go to Apple store to back up?
(time machine is turn off)

If you don't have a back up then you'll need to use a file recovery app like File Salvage
To back up iPhoto you make a copy of the Library on another disk.
