How do you change the default location of the library xml and other related files?

After the most recent software update of iTunes for Windows, the new software resorts to going to a folder on my hard drive for the files that determine your library:
\Users\username\Music\iTunes\iTunes Library.itl
\Users\username\Music\iTunes\iTunes Library.xml
My itl and xlm files are located at on an exgternal network connected drive in a iTunes\ folder.
Asa temporary solution I replated and copied my itl and xml files into the C drive folders but I would like to modifiy the defualt settings in the solftware?
Is that possible?

This question should not be in the "ITunes for Mac" dicusiosn but in Itunes for PC.
Unrelated to this quesiton but related to the software update, I noticed that not all settings for my albums's artwork came over.  I would prefer avoiding going into each album to modify album art info.... >:-(

    How do I change my default email on the "Me" contact from a Facebook email to my normal email address in the same contact?  Or at least change it for the autofill information?
    Perfernece for contact to change.  Do I just have to dis-associate my contact fromt the facebook account?  Is only the autofill changable?

    If you allow Facebook to access your contacts and you have the @facebook.com email alias turned on, it will add the @facebook.com email to your contact info, and because it has the fixed label of "email" it overrides every other email address.
    They didn't fix this in iOS 8.
    There are two ways to remove the @facebook.com email from your contact info:
    If you don't need your Facebook friends and their info updating your contacts, go into iOS Settings -> Facebook and turn off access to Contacts.
    If you don't use your @facebook.com email address (all it does it forward to the primary email address) you can go into the Facebook app, More -> Settings -> General -> Email -> and uncheck "Use your Facebook email". Removing it from Account Emails does not work, you have to turn it off. Once you do this, go to iOS Settings -> Facebook and turn Contacts off and on again to make it update your info. The @facebook.com address should be removed.

  • Can I move the default location of the iPhoto library to an external source, leaving a preview image on my main HDD? Do I need to move to something like Apature to do this?

    Can I move the default location of the iPhoto library to an external source, leaving a preview image on my main HDD?
    Do I need to move to something like Apature to do this?
    I currenlty have a NAS which holds all my images.

    Yes you can, but you really, really don't want to.
    You can store your photos on the External and have iPhoto link to them in that location. It's called having a Referenced Library.
    In this scenario iPhoto creates an alias to the files in the Library and that's why you don't want to do this. Aliases work fin when everything is on the same volume or disk. However, if the alias points to something on another disk or volume and something in the path to the file changes, then the alias is broken. That means you could find yourself fixing each alias for every single photo in your Library, one at a time if something goes wrong.
    And heaven forbid you would ever want to move the files to another disk.
    See why I say you really, really don't want to?
    Also note, that your edited photos would still be on the internal HD as they are always stored in the Library.
    Aperture, on the other hand, can deal with this scenario quite easily, and has tools to reconnect to the original should the link be broken

  • Where is the default location for the OC4J logs?

    Where is the default location for the OC4J logs?

    Depends on what variant of the product you are using.
    In an Oracle Applicaiton Server environment (ie the one you install versus unzip) the stdout/stderr streams from OC4J are captured in the $ORACLE_HOME/opmn/logs/<group-instance> directory.
    If you are using standalone then stdout goes to the console where you started the process.
    The logs for the OC4J instance itself are located in $ORACLE_HOME/j2ee/home/log/<instance_group> directory. In this directory you'll see different logs for differet areas of the server. Most of the logs however are captured in the oc4j sub-directory in the log.xml file. Whenever you enable an OC4J component logger in the j2ee-logging.xml file or via ASControl, this is where the logs will end up.
    Take a look at the $ORACLE_HOME/j2ee/home/config/j2ee-logging.xml file -- the log handlers will give you some idea on the different log files that are in use.
    You can configure your application loggers to also direct their log into this file if you wish. See http://buttso.blogspot.com/2007/09/directing-log-messages-into-oc4j.html for an example.

  • 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 .

  • Where is the default location for the AppleWorks updater 6.2.9?

    §When I try to install the 6.2.9 updater I get the message 'The default location could not be located'

    An error message when running the updater is usually due to the wrong updater for your installed version of AppleWorks or not already having AppleWorks 6 installed. If you don't already have AppleWorks 6, you'll have to buy it.
    If you live in the US or Canada, click one of the two "Download" buttons on the AppleWorks 6.2.9 updater page. If you live anywhere else in the English-speaking world (UK, Australia, etc.), pick International English. In either case, if one doesn't work, download & install the other.

  • How can one set a default location for the pictures on the hard drive?

    Since Windows normally places the pictures on a typical drive as "My Pictures" about four or five levels down from the root, any effort to import picture files into Lightroom requires multiple clicks to drill down to the "My Pictures" then (for example) year, month, date, etc.
    Can I define a location as the default starting point to find the pictures?  I don't see how to put that into presets. Or can a key shortcut be created to go straight to c:/users/name/mypictures/2013/April15 etc?
    Steve Board

    dj is right. Any Folder can be a picture folder.
    Create a root level folder and add it to your Pictures Library in Windows.  It will show up with all the scattered pictures from other programs. It can even be a different dirve if you like.  You  can even specify one to be the default save location for pictures in this dialog.
    Navigate to Pictures in your Libraries in Windows Explorer Right Click and select Properties.

  • HT1918 How do you change or reset answers to the iTunes security questions?

    My iTunes user ID and password works fine and I can make purchases on my iPhone.  I have a new iPad which is asking security questions since its a new devise.  However, I have forgot the answers to the security questions set up years ago.  How do I change/reset the answers using my iPhone?

    Reset Security Questions
    Frequently asked questions about Apple ID
    Manage My Apple ID
    Or you can email iTunes Support at iTunes Store Support.
    If all else fails:
      1. Go to: Apple Express Lane;
      2. Under Product Categories choose iTunes;
      3. Then choose iTunes Store;
      4. Then choose Account Management;
      5. Now choose iTunes Store Security and answer the bullet questions, then click
          Continue;
      6. Sign in with your Apple ID and press Continue;
      7. Under Contact Options fill out the information and advise iTunes that you would
          like your security/challenge questions reset;
      8. Click Send/Continue.
    You should get a response within 24 hours by email.
    In the event you are unsuccessful then contact AppleCare - Contacting Apple for support and service.
    Another user had success doing the following:
    I got some help from an apple assistant on the phone. It is kind of round about way to get in.
    Here is what he said to do and it is working for me...
      a. on the device that is asking you for the security questions go to "settings", > "store" >
          tap the Apple ID and choose view"Apple ID" and sign in.
      b. Tap on payment information and add a credit/debit card of your preference then select
          "done", in the upper right corner
      c. sign out and back into iTunes on the device by going to "settings"> "store" > tap the
          Apple ID and choose "sign-out" > Tap "sign -in" > "use existing Apple ID" and you
          should be asked to verify your security code for the credit /debit card and NOT the
          security questions.
      d. At this time you can remove the card by going back in to edit the payment info and
          selecting "none" as the card type then saving the changes by selecting "done". You
          should now be able to use your iTunes store credit without answering the security
          questions.
    It's working for me ...I just have to put in my 3 digit security pin from the credit card I am using.
    Good Luck friends!

  • How do I change a bad location in the new photos app for Mac?

    I am not sure why but hundreds of my photos have the wrong location stored for them. Is there any easy way to change them in the new Photos app for mac?
    Thanks

    You can't at the present time.  There's no such capability in the current version of Photos.
    Tell Apple what additional features you want in Photos via both http://www.apple.com/feedback/macosx.html and http://www.apple.com/feedback/iphoto.html  since they don't have a feedback page for Photos as yet.

  • How do I change ipad default location??

    I've moved (9 months ago) and my iPad doesn't know it. Surely there's a way to update it?  I'm 75 mikes from where I used to be. Not even the same area code.

    Try this:
    Go to Home Screen
    Go to Settings
    Tap on “General”
    Tap on “Restrictions”
    Tap on “Allow Changes”
    Tap on “Location” in visible mode
    Select “ON”
    You have successfully changed the location
