I'd like to back up iPhone4 to external HD before upgrade (Local drive to full). How do I change the backup location?

Upgrading to iOS5. I'd like to back up my iPhone4 to an external HD before upgrading, but the utility uses the local HD as default. Not enough room locally for my back-up. How can I change the destination drive for back-up?

iPhone Backup Location for Windows 7, XP, and Vista
Windows XP stores all of your iPhone backup files in this location:
C:\Documents and Settings\user\Application Data\Apple Computer\MobileSync\Backup
Windows Vista and Windows 7 backs up the iPhone files to here:
C:\Users\user\AppData\Roaming\Apple Computer\MobileSync\Backup
Obviously if your main drive is not C: then you’ll have to change that, same goes for ‘user’

How do I change the default location for iPhoto media?

On my MacBook Pro, I have a 250 GB solid state drive. More than 140 GB of that space is taken up by images and video in my iPhoto folder. I want to purchase an external hard drive to store my iPhoto media so I can free up space on my Mac's hard drive. I can drag and copy the images/video to the new external hard drive, but in the future how can I change the default location to the new external device? I looked at iPhoto preferences, but see no setting that would re-direct media from my camera. Please help.

Copy the library to the external hard drive. Then launch iPhoto with the option key held down and choose the library on the external hard drive.
Run the external library to make sure it has all of your photos and works as expected. It will not be your default library.
Once you're sure the external library is good you can delete the library on the SSD.

How do i change my itunes backup location for my ipod touch 4th gen?

I was tlkaing to my dad and noticed that my C: drive is rather low on space and i was shocked cause of how i do not install games and unnecessary stuff on tehre and one of the biggest folders was my itunes backup for my 4th gen I-pod Touch 32 gig.
Well I looked in itunes and I looked under preferences and then advanced preferences the place to change the Itunes media folder, but need ot know if that also includes everything like apps, my songs, etc or if i am looking in the wrong place. I really want to move those 13 gigs of backup off of C: to another drive that has more space, also not sure if I'd need to re-install anything on a drive or not. So any help in this matter is appreciated.

Not that easy but can be done:

How do I change the default locations for the iTunes music and iPhone back-up folders?

My computer's hard drive is partitioned, with one partition having all of the Windows system files, and the other having all of my documents, music, videos, etc. When I installed iTunes, it automatically created its music and iPhone folders on the Windows partition. I've been able to change the default save folders for other programs to the second partition, but I'm having troubles finding this option in iTunes (I even went back and re-installed it to see if I could find it that way, but no dice). Is there a way to change the default folders for the iTunes library and iPhone files? It takes up A LOT of space on my Windows partition, so it would be very great to get that moved over.
Thanks!

You can't selectively move individual folders withing the iTunes folder, but you can move the entire folder to, say, an external dive. To delink the iTunes application to the new library location:
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 moved to the external hard drive.
Click Choose (Mac OS X) or Open (Windows) and then choose the iTunes Library file inside .

Changing iTunes backup location to SAME hard drive

Hi
I have an unusual problem. As you are no doubt all aware iTunes will backup your iPhone or iPad automatically to the folder (windows users) c:\users\<username>\appdata etc etc. You can change this to another physical drive using Junction which I have read up on. Unfortunately in my case I actually need to relocate the backups to another location on the SAME hard drive and junction doesn't appear to let me do this.
The reason? We have a client with 50-60 computers on a Windows Server network and utilise roaming profiles. The default backup location means these iTunes backups automatically get uploaded to the server each time a user logs off placingstorage stress on the server as there are dozens of large (32 - 64Gb iPhones and iPads) with multiple backups for each user. I would like to make a separate folder on each users C: drive on their workstation and instruct the iTunes backups to go there instead which will keep it out of the roaming profile.
Anybody have any ideas?
Regards,
Brendon

What makes you think it doesn't work?

MkLink /J C:\Test1 C:\Test2
works fine for me. Test1 is linked to Test2.

How can I change the path location for an entire album?

Hi everyone:
If I move a folder containing an album to another location for organizational purposes, every song in the album is now lost in the library. As I know it there are two options:
1. Manually open each individual song info and find the location one at a time. Insanely slow, tedius and painful when repeating for many albums.
2. Delete the lost songs and re-add them. While this is faster for finding locations it eliminates Rating and playlist information for the songs because the songs are now new dictionary items in the library. Which is probably even more painful.
I am looking for 1 or 2 more options:
3. Manually select multiple songs (or an album from the album list) and edit the path to the song locations (minus the filenames which would remain as before). This is still a pain but much more manageable.
4. A feature that automatically finds missing songs. It wouldn't be that difficult. Add a tag to the song file with the unique db ID. Whenever a song is lost search the designated directory structure for the iTunes media. You could even import existing ID tags when creating a new library in case you are rebuilding your library or some other such activity.
My question is for #3. #4 would be a fairly simple, effective and very useful feature, so I concede it's a pipe dream. If anyone can answer #3 I would GREATLY appreciate it!!
Thanks,
Raiden

Type about:config in the address bar. Find browser.download.dir and change it to the path you want. Remember that Android has a linux base so the path will similar to /mnt/sdcard/downloads/

How can I change the default location ipad/iphone pictures are stored in on my desktop?

So here's my dilemma. I have lightroom mobile on my ipad and iphone. Seamlessly, lightroom mobile pushes these images to my desktop and saves them in a folder in windows. I use an SSD and would prefer not doing read/writes to it that are unnecessary. What makes the default location problematic is that I can't seem to change it. Further, when I sync my ipad/iphone to my windows desktop using a cable, I will now have duplicates of images that were synced via lightroom mobile. So, it would be infinitely simpler, I think, if lightroom mobile would sync ipad/iphone images to a directory I specify, on a supplemental hard drive for instance, and using dates for folder names rather than some default directory on my main drive where they are just dumped.

Currently, Lightroom saves the images in a directory structure under a folder named "Mobile Downloads.lrdata", which is created in the same folder as the catalog file.
For example, an image will be saved as:
Windows = C:\Users\<username>\Pictures\Lightroom\Mobile Downloads.lrdata\<random hexadecimal name>\picture1.jpg
Mac = Users/<username>/Pictures/Lightroom/Mobile Downloads.lrdata/<random hexadecimal name>/picture1.jpg
you want to change the location of this "Mobile Downloads.lrdata" to another path.
You should file an Idea, AKA Feature Request, to the Feedback site:
http://feedback.photoshop.com/photoshop_family
If there is enough people voting for it, the Product Managers will evaluate it and eventually apply it to a future version.
It's your interest to advertise the Idea in order to increase the number of votes (I would vote for it).
There is another similar discussion in the forum (How do i change the location of 'Mobile Downloads.lrdata' ?), I am posting the same answer there.

How do I change the default location for mail files?

I want to move my mail folders from /Library/Mail and /Library/Mail Downloads folders to a different drive. How can I do this? I know how to move them - I want to know how I make mail aware of where I have put them). I have an encrypted SSD I want to use.
I know I can encrypt the main drive but I don't want to do this.

Changing the default downloads folder is helpful. Solves part of the problem. I have PGP installed and it decrypts the emails as they come in and place them in my inbox as unencrypted so the emails themselves need to remain encrypted on the disk. I tried using alias's but couldn't get it to work.
I would just encrypt the whole disk but I am worried that I get other problems. I have had 8 Macbook Pro laptops in about 6 years and in that time only one has lasted 12 months plus without a replacement or repair. I don't think much of apples reliability or support for that matter, so rely heavily on disk clones to make sure I can keep working. The hardware is so rubbish I now keep a spare macbook for when my main one needs repaired. In fact I am running off my cloned disk just now because my brand new MBP 17" is in for repair for the 3rd time in 5 months. If the software wasn't so good I would swap back to that other operating system.

How do I change default file location for NON-MUSIC files?

My Laptop's "My Document" folder is on network per the corporate configuration. When I am not on VPN, I can not start iTunes since it looks for files on network.
Also my "My Documents\My Music\iTunes" folder on the network is growing quite large since all *.ipa files are stored there.
Is there any way to point all file locations to my C drive?
Thx

App store files will get put in a subfolder named \Mobile Applications.
The preference files will stay on the C: drive under your user profile.
C:\Documents and Settings\ username \Application Data\Apple Computer\iTunes

How do I change iTunes U account on iphone 4?

I recently just purchased an iPhone 4 second hand and I'm unable to change the iTunes U account information on the phone. I'm constantly being sent the course lessons for iTunes U for the previous owner. When I try to change the settings in itunes U it asks me for the login and account of the previous owner even though in the general preferences of the phone I have successfully changed the account information to my own for the phone and the app store. I can't find any place on the phone where I can change the itunes U login information to remove/change the previous owner's account to mine.
Since I don't have the previous owner's password I'm unable to stop receiving the many classes that this person has signed up for and it's eating up my data usage on my phone plan!
I'm running the most current iOS on my iPhone 4 and the latest iTunes on my macbook pro.

Move iTunes library

HT201269 I have lost my iPhone 3GS. It was backed up to my computer using iTunes. I now have a new iPhone 4 series from a friend. How can I restore the backup information for my previous phone to the new phone?

I have lost my iphone 3GS. It was backed up to my macbook pro using itunes. I now have a new iphone series 4 (china model). How can I access the backup information for my old phone and put it on my new one?

Thank you again for all of your help!! I really appreciate it!
I think I am following -- I was able to upload to my iPhoto and all photos and videos are there that is a plus! I tried to create an Event in my iPhoto and put all of my photos in that event but for some reason, now my iTunes it not recognizing that Event in my iPhoto. It is not allowing me to import just that event at the moment but I may be doing something wrong. At least all of my pics and vids are in iPhoto so that is a plus and I know they are at least saved somewhere. Just for some reason, my iTunes it not locating the event that I created with only those photos.
Thank you for letting me know about my contacts! How do I know if I have the contacts app?
Also, I had no clue that my iCloud could be backed up via cellular data! However, is this a new feature with the most updated iOS?? Unforutnatly I am like 2 iOS updates behind because I don't have enough storage on my phone. I still get the notification that my phone needs to be plugged in and connected to wifi in order to back up to the cloud :-(
How can I sync using USB? Right now when i click on the info tab for my iPhone in my iTunes this is the answer that I get -- I am a little unclear as to what it means.

Changing the Default Location for Backups

I've just downloaded PC Suite 6.81.13.0. How do I change the default location where backups are stored on my laptop? The default location stores the data in an location that is not compatible with my company network profile. I want to store the data in a different location, but I can't see any option to allow me specificy the location.
