How do you move just your movies and tv shows to an external hard drive and have iTunes recognize that that is where that media is (keeping music on the internal hard drive itself and putting only movies and tv shows on an external hard drive)?

I'm not sure about how to get iTunes to recognize that my music is in one location (on my MacBook's internal hard drive) and my movies and tv shows are in another (on an external hard drive I purchased).  I know how to make iTunes recognize that all of my iTunes files are on an external hard drive, but not only some of them.  Please help me out.  Thanks.

While you can do that, it is not a feature of iTunes.  Put your movies on the external drive, then add them to iTunes by dragging the files to iTunes while holding the option (alt) key down so it leaves the files where they are located.  There are other ways to move them if they are already added but they can be more involved and tricky.  If it's just one or two try:  http://dougscripts.com/itunes/scripts/ss.php?sp=relocateselected

  • Hello, the ipad 2, CREA locked i put a password and do not remember. . How do I restore and unlock?

    Hello, the ipad 2, CREA locked i put a password and do not remember. . How do I restore and unlock?

    If you've forgotten the passcode to unlock the iPad then you will need to connect it to the computer that you normally sync to and you should then be able to reset the iPad and re-sync your content to it (http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1212) - you may need to put the iPad into recovery mode : http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1808
    If you do it via a different computer then :
    If you restore on a different computer that was never synced with the device, you will be able to unlock the device for use and remove the passcode, but your data will not be present.

  • How do you tell if your a victim of the recent java hack and what to do

    so watching the news, how do you tell if your mac was affected, and is there anything you can do to fix it if you are in fact "hacked" thx

    Other than updating  Java, there is no perfect way to detect an attack.
    You may not have Java installed after all. You can check it.
    Finder > Application > Utilities > Java Preferences
    Click "Java Preferences".
    If a pop-up opens up offering to "Install", Mac does not have Java installed.
    Click "Not Now" button and close the Application folder.
    Safari > Preferences > Security > Web content:
    If the box next to "Enable Java" is checked, uncheck it.
    Best.

    Assuming you are using iTunes 11.1:
    Connect your iPhone to your computer.
    In iTunes towards the upper right of your screen you will see the name of your iPhone. Click on it (not the eject symbol.
    This will open a series of windows with tabs.
    Select the tab for photos.
    Untick the ones you do not want on your iPhone and at the bottom right click on Apply.
    They will be removed.

  • How do I fix my iPad if it won't upgrade to iOS 5? I have iTunes on here and every thing else I need what do I do?

    How do I fix my iPad if it won't upgrade to iOS 5? I have iTunes on here and every thing else I need what do I do?

    The option to update without the computer (Over the air) was made available with iOS 5. If your iDevice is using a version of iOS lower than 5, you will need to use iTunes on your syncing computer to perform the upgrade. Use the Apple link below as a guide for the upgrade.

    Also read the instructions from the section entitled "Update your device using iTunes" at the link below.

    Information regarding transferring purchases from your iDevice to iTunes on your syncing computer can be found at the link below.

  • How do you know if your Iphone app is connecting to the internet?

    I'm a brand new Iphone user and I have a question about apps.  I only have the smallest data plan.  I'm wondering how do you know if your app (or any app you download) once opened connects to the internet?
    For instance I have a Netflix subscription.  When I hit the Netflix app is that connecting to the internet?  When I watch a movie or tv in my own que is that still on the internet?
    Or what about the Kindle app or iBooks?  Is it on the internet to read?
    Those are just two small examples.  I'm having a hard time figuring out which apps to download based on if they connect to the internet for their use.

    As a general rule, if the app stores all of its data locally on your phone, a data connection is not needed for that app to function properly. If the app does not store data locally on your phone...streaming apps(Netflix), the built in Maps app, etc., a data connection will be required for the app to function properly. You can minimize your cellular data usage by only using such apps when connected to available WiFi. You also have the ability to turn cellular data completely off in settings: Settings>General>Network>Cellular Data>Off. Best to completely read an apps description before installing such on your phone. If a data connection is required for the app to function, it will state such in the app's description.

  • How are you guys powering your laptops in your cars ???

    Hi guys,
      Although I have been using computers since the first pc appeared, I only recently decided to get a laptop.  I got a Lenovo B560 and have been absolutely delighted with it. 
     However, I am perplexed at the fact that there does not seem to be any easy options for using the laptop in the car on long trips etc ?  I do not see any type of 12 volt adapter listed in the accessories ??  A google search shows a few "generic" brand power converters but I have always been leary of using anything but oem type equipment.
     Anyway, how are you guys powering your machines while mobile ??
    Thanks,
    Bill

    Your tip size is 2.5mm x 5.5mm,  19volts, and your current adapter is 90watts, right?
    Your tip size is the same as what is in the y450, y460, y550p, y550, y560, and the y730.
    The y730 is listed under the adapter listed above as taking the 4R 4319 tip, which is the same size as yours.
    The tip, Pt. # 46 4319 is listed as an optional tip for the ultraslim adapter, Pt. #4IN8460, that tip has to be ordered separately from the adapter, it doesn't come with it.
    Scroll to the bottom of the link for the adapter and you'll see the listing for the 19 volt tip, pt. #4R 4319. 
    All this is assuming that you have integrated graphics.
