How do I permanently delete itunes folder on mac hd ?

I want to use my external for library.

You have two alternatives:
1. Change the location of the library in the Advanced section of iTunes preferences.
2. Create an alias to the new iTunes folder's location and place the alias in the original locations. Then delete the newly made iTunes folder you find there and rename the alias to iTunes.

  • HT1918 How do I permanently delete iTunes account

    Hello how are you all?
    I am a visitor from India , I recently bought and iPad and to download some music and movies I created an iTunes account .
    But I'm gifting this iPad to somebody and want to make sure that my iTunes account is deleted before giving it away.
    I signed in to manage my account billing and purchases but the system merely allows me to edit my credit card info not totally erase it.
    Also I don't want to just sign out and give it away, I need that no credit card info is in my iTunes account before giving it.
    I've tried the obvious ways to manage and edit the account but I don't see anything to delete
    Even restoring the iPad with the reset feature doesn't delete the account info , it just signs you out
    I don't know though if erasing data on the iPad would help
    Please do help
    Thanks

    Erase all content and settings.
    This is covered in the manual.

  • How can I permanently delete itunes files?

    I moved my itunes library to an external hard-drive, but it still shows all the albums in my library.  If I try to play an album, it says the file has been moved.  How can I clean up my library so it doesn't show those files anymore?

    When opening itunes keep the option(alt) key pressed on the keyboard.
    I dialog box opens and you can choose your external Library on your hard drive. Sounds like iTunes is still trying to access the itunes library on the local drive which you have deleted. That is why you have all the exclammation marks by your content because iTunes can not find the files.
    This will then always use the hard drive as your itunes library. Just ensure that the Hard drive is not in a sleep state when you start iTunes otherwise it will default to your local machine.
    Just click on it in finder to wake it up

  • Hey Folks! How do I permanently delete iTunes extras from downloading every time I download something new?

    I have downloaded movies from iTunes store and those movies come with an automatic download of iTunes extras (which I don't want). I stop the downloads of the iTunes extras and delete them, but everytime I download anything NEW from the iTunes store the OLD iTunes extras automatically pick up and start downloading again even though I've previously stopped and deleted them? Very frustrating! I've searched many forums and across the interweb but haven't found anything that works.  Help???
    Thanks!

  • How can I permanently delete files from my Mac before I give it away?

    I would like to get rid of any pictures, term papers, emails, but keep the Adobe Photoshop on there that I downloaded from iTunes. I'm sure someone would enjoy it.

    Well, except you have no right to include purchased commercial software with it unless you also delete that software from your other machines and never use it again yourself (and you need to include any original purchased media for the software along with it).  You purchased a license for you to use it, not for you to sell or give it to someone else to also use.
    Also, since you bought the software online from Apple, it is permanently tied to your AppleID, so nobody else could ever update it, or re-download it if needed anyway.
    As far as getting rid of the machine, the best approach is to completely erase and re-install the base OS you bought it with.  That will erase all your information and data and give the new owner a nice clean slate to start with so they can set it all up as they wish to.

    Solved! Music was in Itunes folder but not in Media folder within that. It doesn't seem like a very user friendly system so far!

  • I have a MacBook Air and I use "Notes" when I delete a folder it comes back. How do I permanently delete it?

    I have a MacBook Air and I use "Notes" when I delete a folder it comes back. How do I permanently delete it?

    it all depends on what's running in the macbook air that causes it to heat up.
    open activity monitor - change my processes to all processes - and on the %CPU, click it twice and see what running using 10% and above in the %CPU section.
    highlight anything that are using high CPU percentage and hit quit process.  see if that brings the temperature back down to normal.
    screenshot below is my activity monitor - have a look at it - nothing over 10% on the %CPU section.

  • How do I permanently delete a movie I downloaded from my itunes account?

    I deleted a movie that I downloaded. Then when I signed in on a different computer the movie was there again. How can I permanently delete it from my account?

    Hi, sophiaskoub.
    Thank you for the question.  The most common cause for this is having Automatic Downloads enabled on the secondary computer.  See the first article on how to disable this feature.  The other attached articles cover how to delete media from iTunes and hiding any purchases that have been made.

  • How do i permanently delete a song in my itunes library

    how can I permanently delete a song from itunes

    If you are wanting to delete a song from iTunes 11.0.1 you can select the song or album (or selected different songs by holding "down command"), once you have selected those songs. Hold down the "option/alt" + "command"  keys and then right click on the hightlighted song/s or album and go to "delete".
    NB The delete option wil not appear when you normally right click on a song/file. But if you hold down "option/alt" + "command" the "delete" selection will appear.
    Hope this helps.

  • HT1349 How do I permanently delete crap that my kids have downloaded onto my itunes?

    How do I permanently delete crap that my kids have downloaded onto my itunes? It's synced with my phone now too. I just want to listen to the albums I've purchased and the cds I've downloaded. Help. Please.

    When you delete one or more of your purchases from your library you should get an option to Hide purchases from iTunes in the Cloud. Selecting this option should prevent the items from appearing as cloud links or in the purchased section of the iTunes Store, however should you later change your mind you can visit your account and use the Manage hidden purchases link to restore them.

  • I have emails that I can not delete from my Junk mail folder. How do I permanently delete them?

    I have emails that I can not delete from my Junk mail folder. How do I permanently delete them?

    Weird.
    Someone might stop by who has experienced/fixed/read about this before.  In the meantime...
    By "re-indexed my email" do you mean you rebuilt the mailbox via the "Rebuild" command in the Mailbox menu?  Did you try that for all the affected mailboxes?
    Also, you might try experimenting with the settings in Mail, Preferences, Accounts having to do with whether junk mail messages are stored on the server and whether they are to be deleted.
    Does this behavior persist when you are not connected to the internet?

  • How do you permanently delete trash in the deleted items folder?

    I have over 4000 deleted emails in my deleted items folder. How do I permanently delete them from that folder? Thanks.

    Hello,
    If you are talking about the Deleted Items folder in an Outlook client, you probably should ask in the
    Microsoft Office Community Forums.
    Otherwise, I'd probably ask in the
    Outlook.com forum on Microsoft Community.
    In both cases, however, you should be able to right click the Deleted Items folder and select "Empty Folder"
