How do you download itunes library on to a usb flash drive

I want to download my ituneslibrary on to a sandisc ultra 16GB usb flash drive to play in my truck I never used a usb flash drive before!

You probably don't want the entire library which is essentially everything in the iTunes folder.  Some of the files are part of iTunes only.
To add media to a flash drive the easiest way is to simply drag the tracks from iTunes to the flash drive open in a Finder window.  This will result in a collection of media files.  Depending upon your player you may want more organization than that since it may simply end up playing the files in alphabetical order.  You will have to do your own work at this stage and read your player's manual because just about each model is different in terms of what structured playing is supported.  Some may read the labels/tags in each files as you see in iTunes, other may play folder by folder, some may require a specially formatted text file playlist, others don't support any structure and if you want to change play order you have to edit the file names, etc.

    How do you download itunes onto a hp with windows 8?

    iTunes does not yet offically and fully support Windows 8. If you search this forum for "windows 8", you'll find threads with discussions as to how people have done it, though in almost all cases with less than perfect results.

  • How do you get ITunes to STOP automatically scanning my hard drives?

    How do you get ITunes to STOP automatically scanning my hard drives for files? I have a number of audio and video files located all over my computer. However, my music folder is located in one place. I only want ITunes to look there to ad music to my IPod? I don't want to add any videos to my IPod however, it automatically scans for this as well. Infact... I don't want ITunes to automatically scan for anything. Why is this doing this?

    You can configure iTunes to sync only a subset of your music. Create a playlist in iTunes of the music you want on the iPod, and change the iPod sync settings. More info is here.

    How do I convert DOS doc to read & run USB Flash Drive?

    I'm not really sure what exactly you're trying to do.  Possibly post on the Microsoft forums as DOS was their product?
    Perhaps if you provide a bit more detail about what you have now and what you're trying to do with it (desired end result), I might be able to make another suggestion.

  • How do I get itunes library to move to external hard drive automatically?

    I have a 250 GB Verbatim external hard drive. This hard drive has an existing itunes library from my PC. I figured out how to combine the two itunes libraries, (1 from PC and 1 from Macbook). I cannot figure out how to set up itunes to automatically save to external hard drive. In other words, I've gotten everything onto my Mac, but not onto the external, which is what I want. When I try to move the itunes folders to my Verbatim in Finder, it gives me the circle with the line through it. It will not let me move anything over to the Verbatim. Please help!

    On the copying issue, if the drive was used with a PC initially it is quite possible it is formatted to NTFS.  Macs can read NTFS drives but not write to them  You could try to use a utility such as NTFS-3G to enable read-write, or you could use Disk Utility to reformat the drive to FAT (probably FAT32) which can be read by both PCs and Macs. FAT has certain disadvantages too, such as not being repairable by Macs, and there is a limit on single file sizes (2GB or 4GB depending upon the FAT version).
    Once you get your whole iTunes folder (not just media) onto the external drive, start iTunes with the option key held down and  show it the new location.

  • Hi, I have a late 2008 iMac with a new hard drive. How do I install Mountain Lion from my bootable USB flash drive.

    How do I install Mountain Lion to a new hard drive without having the recovery partition on it.
    I have the USB flash drive with software on it but when I switch my Mac on all I have is a white screen & a flashing question mark.
    ATB,
    Steve.

    Did you use LionDiskMaker or DiskMaker X?
    Boot the machine with the option key down until you see your bootable USB stick.  Select the latter, and reboot.
    When the installer boots up, you will first need to choose Utilities and Disk Utility. Select the target HD device name and then the partition tab. Select 1 partition, name it Macintosh HD. Format is Mac OS Extended, and option is GUID. Apply. Exit Disk Utility and return to the installer, which will now show your newly partitioned HD as available for install.
    When OS X is installed and all updates applied, press shift+command+U and run disk utility again. Verify/repair permissions and verify the boot disk.

  • How to obtain warranty for a 8 GB Lenovo USB Flash Drive

    Hello,
    Six months ago I ordered a 8 GB Lenovo MYKEY C20W USB flash driver, part number 45K2224. Unfortunately, the device has stopped being recognized by my computer and I cannot access the drive or its contents, it only shows up as a "USB MEMORY BAR USB DEVICE". I would like to obtain warranty service and exchange the product for a new one, but I couldn't find relevant warranty contact info on the main Lenovo support site. Could someone please direct me in the right direction (a phone number or email address would be greatly appreciated!)
    Thank you in advance,

  • How do I browse & play .mp3 files from a USB flash drive using Labview 8.0?

    I'm a tester & want to test USB flash drives connected to PC.
    I want to browse the file system & playback the audio files, .jpeg files etc in the USB drive. I've Labview 8.0. When I searched for some examples or VIs which can detect the USB flash drive, couldn't find any. So if you could point me in the right direction, I can find a solution to my problem.
    Thanks.
    Solved!

    You probably won't find specific examples for this.  A USB flash drive is mounted by the OS and appears as a new memory storage device to all software on the PC, including LabVIEW.  You can certainly write a LabVIEW program to open files on the stick and play/run them but I would create a VI that wrote files to the stick and then read them back and checked them for bit-level errors.  Keep in mind that your OS might be doing parity checking under the hood which would make your test rather meaningless.
    BTW, testing memory by looking at pics or listening to MP3s would be useless of course.  A human can't see or hear bit-level errors in a high bandwidth data stream.
