How do I back up my itunes to a disk since they took away that option =(

I want to back up my music from itunes to a disk but the option is no longer there when I click file over library there is no back up to disk!

The iPod can be backed up to a computer using iTunes. Alteritvley if the iPad is running iOS 5; you could try backing up to iCloud.
More info about iCloud Backup can be found in iCloud: Backup and restore overview.
iTunes: About iOS backups, outlines what iTunes can backup from an iPhone. (the list of what itunes backsup is longer.)

    Just drag-copy the entire iTunes folder, presuming all your content is in that folder, to your backup device.

    Backup the library with this User Tip.
    Deauthorize the old computer as you no longer want to access protected content on it.
    Restore the backup to your new/rebuilt computer using the same tool used to back it up, ideally before installing iTunes.
    Keep your backup up-to-date in future.

  • How can i back up my iTunes library if i want to uninstall it?

    how can i back up my iTunes library if i want to uninstall it?

    Quit iTunes.
    Locate your external hard drive.
    Mac: On the Desktop or Finder sidebar.
    Windows: In My Computer
    Drag the iTunes folder (backed up earlier) from your external hard drive to whatever location you desire on your internal hard drive. It is recommended that you choose the default location for the iTunes folder, which is:
    Mac OS X: /Users/username/Music
    Windows XP: \Documents and Settings\username\My Documents\My Music\
    Windows Vista: \Users\username\My Music\
    Windows 7 or 8: \Users\username\Music\
    Open iTunes while holding down the Option key (Mac) or Shift key (Windows).
    In the resulting dialog, click the Choose Library button.
    Select the iTunes folder you just moved to the internal hard drive.
    Click Choose (Mac OS X) or Open (Windows) and then choose the iTunes Library file inside .
    After following these steps, iTunes will open and your iTunes Library will be restored.

  • How do I back up my iTunes folder to my time capsule?

    How do I back up my iTunes folder to my Time Capsule?

    A couple of issues here:
    First, keeping backups and other data on the TC's internal HD presents problems.  See #Q3 in Using Time Machine with a Time Capsule for an explanation and some possible workarounds.
    Second, as Bob says, Time Machine can't back up either the TC's hard drive or a USB drive connected to it.
    it's a bit messy, but this might work:
    Attach a USB drive to the TC and put your iTunes library on it.
    Create a disk image (as in #Q3) on the TC's internal HD, and use a 3rd-party app such as Chronosync to back iTunes up to the disk image.  I've not done that, so can't swear to it, but it appears it would work.

  • How do I back-up my itunes library in newest version of itunes?

    How do I back-up my itunes library in newest version of itunes?

    Fast backup for iTunes library  (Windows)
    Grab SyncToy  2.1, a free tool from MS. This can be used to copy your entire iTunes library (& other important data folders) onto another hard drive or network share. You can then use SyncToy periodically to synchronise or echo your library to the backup. A preview will show which files need to be updated giving you a chance to spot unexpected changes and during the run only the new or updated files will be copied saving lots of time.
    If your media is all organised below the main iTunes folder then you should also be able to open the backup library on any system running the same version of iTunes, regardless of the drive letter or path it appears on.
    Step-by-step guide to using SyncToy.

  • How can I back up only iTunes and iPhoto to an external HDD

    How can I back up only iTunes and iPhoto, so I can reformat my computer and restore the files in these two programs?  I have an external, but its not big enough to create a time machine copy of my HDD.  I have an iMac running OS X Yosemite 10.10.1.  I am also running Windows 8 via Parallels and I would prefer to keep this partition in tact, but if thats not possible I'll re instal that program.  
    Some how Mackeeper and a couple other shady programs have been installed on my computer and what I want to do is reformat my computer. 

    You could drag the iPhoto and iTunes folders to the external drive and move them back later.
    However, it might be easier to just remove MacKeeper and other adware.
    See the post by John Galt in this thread about removing MacKeeper.
    Apple Support help for removing adware can be found here: Remove unwanted adware that displays pop-up ads and graphics on your Mac - Apple Support

  • How can I back up multiple itunes libraries to an external hard drive?

    How can I back up multiple itunes libraries to an external hard drive? I have tried dragging them across but they all open up as the primary library.

  • How can I back up my iTune purchases to a disc

    How can i back up my iTune purchases to a disc?

    There used to be a feature to do this in iTunes but from what others have said it is gone in recent versions, probably because most people do not find it practicable to do it that way. New libraries tend to range in hte tens to hundreds of GB and backing up to 40 DVDs just isn't in the cards.  Get an external hard drive and use that to back up your whole ocmputer (including photos which you cannot download from anywhere).
    If you absolutely must back up to disc then you'll have to use a burn utility or Finder's burn to burn the iTunes folder contents in bits and pieces.

  • How do I back up files and reinstall original disks on my Power Mac G-4 (2000)

    How do I back up files and reinstall original disks on my Power Mac G-4 (yr. 2000). I know that sounds basic but I have very few techno skills. So please "talk down" to me. I had a newer PC (2005) but the hard drive crashed and I am trying to resuscitate this old mac until I can afford to buy a new one. I am in the middle of writing a book (based on Steve Job's life) and must have SOMETHING to write with. Anyone have a better one they can loan me? I am in Maine on the coast. BTW this machine seems to have trouble reading or formatting most CD-disks. Can anyone recommend a type and brand that works well with this model? Thanks for any assistance anyone can render. Here is what I have:
    Machine Name:          Power Mac G4
      Machine Model:          PowerMac3,4
      CPU Type:          PowerPC G4  (2.9)
      Number Of CPUs:          1
      CPU Speed:          467 MHz
      L2 Cache (per CPU):          1 MB
      Memory:          768 MB
      Bus Speed:          133 MHz
      Boot ROM Version:          4.2.8f1

    Why do you want to reformat the drive?  Is it because the machine is running slow?
    Be sure to backup you important files, like the book, daily.
    The cheapest approach would be to try to figure out why the machine is running slow.  Be sure to try safe boot.
    You may want to run these "standard" fixes if the problem persists.
    1) Check the amount of free space on your harddrive.  You should have a several gigs free.
    2) You should run disk utility
          Macintosh-HD -> Applications -> Utilities -> Disk Utility
          a) verify the disk
          b) update your permissions.
    3) Try a safe boot.
         Shutdown your machine.  Hold down the shift key.  Poweron.  Wait awhile; wait awhile while you harddrive
         is being checked.

    4) Another way to correct filesystem problems is into single use mode.
         This page will tell you how to get into single user mode.
         http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1492
        Basically, you hold down the command + s key then  powering on your machine. The command key
        has a little apple symbol on the lower left. It is between the alt/option key and the space bar. 
    4) You may want to run applejack to clean up your machine.
          http://applejack.sourceforge.net/
    6) Run hardware diagnostics.  It's good for a sanity check.
    The older versions of ccc were donationware.
    Here are two utilities for making a complete backup of your internal hard drive.  I've recommend using one of these so that you can create a bootable system  on your external hard drive. ( PPC require a firewire connected drive. )  Once created, you can run your system from the external drive.  Hold down the option key on your keyboard then power on your machine.  This will bring you in startup manager click on the drive image you wish to boot then click on the arrow key to the right.

    iPhoto on the iPad can be used to make photo books, but not calendars. It is a very different program from the Mac version of iPhoto. I hope you have access to a mac to create your christmas calendar.

    Search the AppStore for "Foto Calendar". I have not tried any of these apps, but there are quite a few, that claim to be able to create an "Awesome foto calendar"
