How can I get itunes and the music placed on itunes on an external hard drive?

It's an Iomega 1TB external hard drive.
Is this possible? Or do I just have to keep installing itunes to a computer and just have my music saved there?

Drag the iTunes library to an external drive, launch iTunes with the Shift key held down, and point it to that instance of the library.
The iTunes application shouldn't be moved.

Hey,
In your case i would contact Toshiba memory support. You can give them a call or write an e-mail, have a look on Toshiba memory page:

Have you created the password using U3T software? On the same Toshiba page there is a FAQ article how to remove U3T Launchpad software.

How do I get rid of the Genius playlist on my new ipod?

Every post I've found on this topic says that turning Genius off in iTunes also turns off the playlist.
However, I don't have Genius turned on in iTunes, so I can't turn it off.
How do I get rid of the playlist?

Try a hard reset. If that does not work, let the battery completely drain, recharge and test.

How do i get rid of the "iPad Not Backed Up" message?

How do I get rid of the "iPad Not Backed Up" message? A week ago this happened, I searched for help, I was told to reboot and the message would go away. It worked...for awhile. The message is back, but now I cannot even reboot/reset the ipad. The message blocks me and prevents me from using the "slide to power off".

I'm not totally sure why the screen locks up like that, but it seems to happen to a number of users. I see that question being asked several time a day.
My advice would be to backup regularly with iCloud so that the message does not appear. If you are already doing so, I can only assume that it is some low memory bug that is causing it, and that is merely a guess.

Since downloading ios5 on my iphone 4 the capacity guage in itunes shows other as over 21Gb and i can no longer fit any music on it. How do I get rid of the other stuff? other

Since downloading ios5 on my iphone 4 a few days ago, the capacity guage in itunes shows "other" as over 21Gb and i can no longer fit any music on my iphone.
How do I get rid of the other stuff?
capacity available on 32 Gb iphone is 28.49Gb
i previously had 21.97 Gb music, over 6 Gb photos, about 1Gb of apps, and minute amount of audio
now i have no music, 5.4 Gb photos and similar (0.8Gb) for apps and audio. i have deleted heaps of photos and unused apps to try to make space but obviosly this is a much bigger problem. I also created a smaller music folder on itunes to sync to but at present no music is selected for syncing due to the lack of available space.
i have 15Gb icloud account now also which is about half full.
Ive done a little research and heard similar tales but with much smaller other totals than this. Can you help?
i cant update my apps as i get a message saying i do not have enough available space.

I had the same problem today and was able to resolve it without having to do a restore or reset. The problem had something to do with my mail accounts. The upgrade reset my mail settings, switching both my gmail and my .mac mail to "archive all mail". I went into the General Settings, disabled that setting, and resynced the phone. The "other" storage allottment dropped back down to less than a gig.
Before you restore or reset, I would try that first.

Some of my songs are listed twice on my iPod itself. However, when I plug the iPod into my computer, the songs don't show up twice in iTunes when I click on device/music. How do I get rid of the duplicate songs on my iPod?

that is odd! that should not be happening.
Are you syncing your songs right off of itunes itself? because it should be syncing over to the ipod however it is listed in itunes.

How can I get rid of the dates and time on my Notes

How do I get rid of the dates and times on my Notes that appeared when I updated to 8?

Yes, it's seems like a poor design decision.
By putting the date on the line below the Note title in the Notes Index, the app shows half the number of notes per page AND if you have a large number of notes, it takes twice as long to stroll down.
I doubt the designer actually uses the app.

THAT you can't change. Silly of Apple not to provide a setting to back out the animation effects either as a whole or individually.
