As far as I know, you can't change it.
Good Luck!

Where does ITunes store my apps on my PC?

Does ITunes store my downloaded and/or purchased apps locally on my PC? My SSD hd was filling up so I moved all the directories from the C:\...Apple Computer\MobileSync\Backup directory to my D: hd and now I'm having a problem getting apps to restore to my IPod that I had to wipe clean and do a restore on. So, I need to know if I moved those apps or what.
Also, is there a way to re-download those apps back to my PC if I did move them?
I need to get this IPod restored back to my ITunes account so all my apps will be associated back with this IPod.

iTunes playlists are stored within the library database iTunes Library.itl. Perhaps you need to create a m3u playlist for use with your other software. Right-click on the playlist name in the sidebar for export options.
Or use iTunes to manage the content on the device in the way that it is designed to.

HT201272 Where does iTunes store purchased audiobooks?

I have purchased audiobooks from the iTunes store. They are on my Mac, but I can't find them in iTunes to listen to on my devices. When I click on "purchased," my choices are music (no audio books listed), movies, and TV shows. If I go through iBooks, I can find only my books in text. Do you have any advice?

Audiobooks are a one-time only download, so they only way to get them onto a different computer or device is by syncing or transferring them (File > Devices > Transfer Purchases should copy them from a device to your computer's iTunes). As well as the films and TV programmes that you say that you back up you should also back up any music and apps that you download as there is no guarantee that any item will remain in the store for future redownloading (content providers occasionally remove them) - and with apps there is also the potential issue of an app being updated in the store and then requiring a higher iOS version that your device(s) support, so you would need to keep a compatible version.

HT1414 where does Itunes store previous backups in a Windows 8 environment

I'm trying to restore from a previous back up and I used to be able to locate them in Vista - but I haven't been able to find all the previous backups in Windows 8

The folder where your backup data are stored varies depending on the computer's operating system. Make sure the backup folder is included in your periodic data-backup routine.
iTunes places the backup files in the following places:
Mac: ~/Library/Application Support/MobileSync/Backup/
Windows XP: \Documents and Settings\(username)\Application Data\Apple Computer\MobileSync\Backup\
Note: To quickly access the Application Data folder, click Start, and choose Run. Type %appdata% and click OK.
Windows Vista and Windows 7: \Users\(username)\AppData\Roaming\Apple Computer\MobileSync\Backup\
Note: To quickly access the AppData folder, click Start. In the search bar, type %appdata% and press the Return key.

Where does iTunes store the custom EQ settings on my hard drive? (OSX 10.6)

Bought a new Mac. I moved over my iTunes library via export and then import. The songs are on an external drive. Everything went perfectly... except for my custom EQ settings.
The songs still have the custom EQs, but the equalizer itself doesn't have those settings anymore.
For example: for quiet songs, I have a custom EQ called "+6" that boosts the overall volume by 6db (far left EQ slider). If I click Get Info on a song with that custom EQ, I can see that it's still there (in the song's info, I mean), but the EQ itself is missing all of my custom EQs.
I have a full backup of my previous hard drive (not to mention that I still have the old Mac). Where can I find those EQ settings? Surely they're in a file somewhere, right?

The last time I did a clean install of Windows on my PC, I backed up the entire iTunes folder on a separate HD partition. After reinstalling iTunes, I copied the iTunes folder back to the C drive and all of the many EQ presets I had created were restored, along with the music. That was in late 2011. I came to the conclusion that this was how you back up the custom EQ settings.
I guess I made a mistake by assuming it would work again this time. Did I? I repeated the process today when I reinstalled Windows, and all the presets I had created did not get restored and now seem to be gone... Is there any way to recover them?
I spent a lot of time tweaking the different frequencies to get them just right and hope to not have to repeat that process.
All of the settings were created using the custom presets, and not on individual MP3 tracks themselves.
(iTunes version just installed: 11.0.2.26)

N200 Rescue and Recovery - where does it store backups?

I've got an issue with the rescue and recovery on my laptop. I want to delete old backups and when I get my automated RnR pop up on a friday afternoon instead of doing a backup I click on the link that says "you can modify this schedule by launching RnR here". From that I get a list of all the old backups made on my laptop and the option to delete any one of them. I click on the delete button next to an old backup that's obviosuly taking up valuable HD space and a little window pops up telling me "Please wait while the backups are deleted" and then the little hour glass spins round and round for hours on end. I clicked this at 5pm this evening and it is now 11pm and it's still there. Don't think it's deleting anything and has just timed out. It's done this every time I try.
Is there a way to configure the RnR so that I can specify that I want the backup to go onto my external hardrive?
Where are these backups stored on my laptop so that I can go in and delete them manually as doing them vis RnR is definitely not working,
Thanks

I would pull the hard drive and place it in an external
usb enclosure.
Copy the important files off of it if possible.
You may not get it to boot again with out re installing windows,
or hard drive may be damaged.

Where does iTunes store iPod Settings?

For podcasts, I can set when to check for new episodes, rules that determine which episodes to download, and rules to determine which episodes to keep. Where are these rules stored? I am wondering if they will be migrated along with the iTunes user's profile folder when I migrate from one computer to another.
I tried to search for clue as to where the podcast settings are stored by looking at likely files with a text editor. Unfortunately, I can only look at text files with this approach. I found and checked the following files (none of them seem to contain Podcast Settings):
c:/Documents and Settings/USER/My Documents/My Music/iTunes/iTunes Music Library.xml
   Lots of decipherable detail here, but nothing corresponding to the iPod Settings I mentioned
c:/Documents and Settings/USER/Application Data/Apple Computer/iTunes/iTunesPrefs.xml
   A indecipherable whack of text that seems to be used to encode binary information
c:/Documents and Settings/USER/Local Settings/Application Data/Apple Computer/iTunes/iTunesPrefs.xml
   A indecipherable whack of text, different from the one above   Other files in this directory which don't contain Podcast Settings:
iPodDevices.xml
goog-phish-shavar.{dat,db}

Look in the folder Library/iTunes/iPod Software Updates of the item in the Finder's sidebar with the house icon.

Where does itunes store my playlists on my pc,I can locate my itunes media which contains all the albums and artists but not my playlists?

Im a bit of a tech dummy and am trying to add a playlist to an iphone that is NOT synced with my itunes account, with ipod/ipad this is simple as I can manually manage content, however this feature doesn't work on iphone. I have a program installed which allows me to add to the iphone however I need to add directly from the itunes folder not within itunes. I have created a playlist in itunes to add to this device however I can not locate this folder in my itunes files!! I'm sure I am missing something simple here

Where does iTunes store files created by their OneStep DVD process?

I can't seem to find them anywhere.

I'll assume you mean iDvd as opposed to iTunes (otherwise this question makes no sense).
This is simply an educated guess-I suspect most if not all of the files used in a one step Dvd process are for the most part temporary files.
However, once the dvd is burned to dvd-r and your mac or the app is restarted, it clears your macs memory of these short term files and the HD space is once again made available for yet another iDvd project; that is once the computer is fully restarted.

Where does iTunes 11 on Mac OS X store backup files?

I am running Mac OS X 10.8.2 and iTunes 11. Where does iTunes 11 store the backup files for iPhone, iPad, etc? I have looked for a directory ~/Library/Application Support/MobileSync/Backup/ -- the MobileSync directory does not exsist and I am looking at all hidden files as well.
Any help would be greatly appreciated!
Paul

Make sure you are pointing to the right folder wich is in the home directory:
i.e: "$HOME/Library/Application Support/MobileSync/Backup"
Where "$HOME" stands for "/Users/YourUserName"
There is another "Library" folder in the "Macintosh HD" disk
and this one is a non-hidden folder when the one in "/Users/YourUserName" is indeed hidden. This is probably where the confusion comes from (happened to me...)

Where Does Lightroom Store Catalogs, Previews, and Backups?

1. By default, where does LR store:
a. Catalogs (.lrcat)
b. Previews (.lrdata)
c. Backups of Catalogs and Previews
2. Can these locations be changed?
2a. If so, how does one specify where LR will store each of the above?
3. Is there a specific relationship of location the Catalog, the Preview, and the Backups, or any partial combination of those three, must remain in?
3a. If so, what is/are that/those relationships?

a) By default in the Lightroom folder within My Pictures / Pictures
b) Always in the same folder as the catalogue
c) Wherever you tell it - which should be somewhere different. No backup of Previews.
Re 2, just move the catalogue in Explorer / Finder, double click it. If you didn't move the Previews, LR starts a new one in the same folder as the catalogue, following (b) above.
Re 3, answered above. Backups can / should be elsewhere and it's your choice where.
Notice that in Catalog Settings there's a Show button that reveals where your catalogue is.
