How do I make a new backup file of my current library?

I just finished locating all my music in my C drive (manually & individually!) since 7.7 wiped out my library and I would like to make a completely new backup file location of this library so that all my music is in one location (just in case, for next time). For some reason my music was in like 3 different iTunes music files and it was quite a nightmare switching back and forth.
Is there an easy way to do this? And can I set up iTunes to now automatically backup new music to this new location?
Thanks

Nothing automatic within iTunes.
I use a backup program to copy entire itunes folder to another drive. No compression, archiving, or renaming; just a straight copy. Granted, this uses up twice as much space but I feel safer than about being able to get accidentally deleted files back.

HT1766 How can I make a NEW backup WITHOUT getting prompted for a (forgotten) password?

Hello! 1st post here,
How can I backup iPhone A to iTunes and then restore into iPhone B without getting prompted for a backup password that I do no know or remember ever setting?
To clarify, I am not trying to read an encrypted backup. I would like to make a NEW backup but I do not want it to be encrypted as I do not know nor remember how a password was set in the 1st place. If I unclick the encryption checkbox, I am prompted to enter the password. Defeats the purpose of clicking on the box, no?
Thanks,
Henry

Have you tried deleting the encrypted back up?

If you don't have a rescue email address, or don't have access to your current one, then you will need to contact iTunes Support / Apple to get the questions reset.

One you start up the new one for the first time, Setup Assistant starts and offers you the option of migrating your old Mac to your new Mac with Time Machine, among other choices, as the source. You can also use Migration Assistant (in the Utilities Folder) to do the same thing.

My old computer crashed, how do I make my new computer my main Itunes account? It's still looking for the other when I need to back up my other apple devices.

My old computer crashed and my itunes is on a new computer, but my I Pad and other devices keep waiting for me to hook up the old laptop for updates. How do I make my new laptop (windows) my primary I Tunes acct.?

It does not matter what the settings are for your iPod. iTunes syncing generally works in one direction only, from iTunes library to iPod. You cannot use iTunes to transfer song files from iPod to computer (except for songs purchased from the iTunes Store). However, there are third-party methods and utilities that can transfer from iPod to computer. If you do an Internet search on something like "ipod transfer," you should get some links. (The CNET article seems to be popular.)
Once the song files are on your computer's drive, you can add them to your new iTunes library

How do I make my new gmail email address the default when I click on "Contact us" in a site in Firefox? Thanks.

When I click on a website's "contact us" button while in Firefox, I get my old email address in my old email provider, which means that new emails in the old inbox have to be loaded first , taking a lot of time. I want to keep my old email provider for the time being as not everyone has my new addy and the old forwards to the new addy. I have Micresoft XP. How do I make my new address the default?

How do i make a new private account?

I have my hp Pavilion dieng on me, and its my primary laptop. In August I got a brand new iMac, and now I am thinking of getting the iMac ready, so when my Hp dies, I can move over to the iMac untill dad gets enough $$ to buy a macbook pro.
I currently have the one account on the iMac and was wondering How do I make a new account? An account where the other people on the main account cant see my stuff. And is it possible for programs to only be installed on that one account? Like, install a Instant messager on my account. But when I go to the Main account, the IM program will not be there?

System Preferences -> Accounts -> unlock the padlock -> click the + button at the bottom. All accounts that are for regular use should be non-admin accounts. Have one admin account that is used for admin related tasks only.
To install one application so that it is for one user only, you can try to install it in that user's home holder. Depending on the application, it might not work, though. In any case, you can limit users' access to applications by using Parental Controls.

Hi. The two user tips both describe a sequence of steps that should get your library from the point where it threatens to wipe data from your device to where it is syncing normally, while recovering as much information as possible. It may still be necessary to wipe and reload the device but this should only take place once all the data that can be recovered has been recovered.
Doing step 1 of 8 and then complaining things aren't the way you want them to be yet strikes me as premature...
Since you appear to have all your media content, and we are discussing an iPod classic, not an iOS device, the main worries are already taken care of. What's left is ratings, playcounts, playlist membership and checked status. Since your device holds only part of your library at best you could only recover the missing data for the content that is on the device using third party tools.
Recreating the previous checked/unchecked status of every track in your library from where you are now may not be that easy. Syncing with selected playlists has many advantages, one of which would have been that you would have a named playlist that could have been retrieved by 3rd party software if you had used this method.
You haven't explained what caused your problem in the first place, but if you have a Previous iTunes Libraries folder holding old copies of your iTunes database (generated with each iTunes update) then it would be possible to restore the most recent of these and then update the library with any changes in your media folder.
BTW Apple doesn't offer free support for this kind of issue with iTunes.
