I can't move iTunes on my screen or search in store

Hi all - I would appreciate some help. For some reason, I cannot move iTunes on my screen. I can change the size. There is also no menu where I can see what is playing unless I am in full screen mode. Also - no red, green, yellow buttons to close, minimize, etc whether I'm in full screen mode or not. The only way to close it is to go the menu bar at the very top of my desktop and click on quit iTunes. Can someone help me or is this they way the new update is? Thanks

I had this problem as well and found that if I minimized the window, the menu would reappear. If you click "Window" in the bar at the top of the screen and then "Minimize" (or press command + M), it will reset the window, so to say.

I would like to connect my Apple TV 3rd gen to a projector and not an HD TV (so I can watch movies on the big screen). Are there any decent price compatible projectors? Good quality but not professional! Many thanks

Thank you for the answer, I suppose the main thrust of my enquiry is to find out if 65 MBits is my ATV theoretical limit of reception. If that is the case then I am happy as a Pig in Mud
I may have allowed myself to become a victim by listening to Fanbois posting elsewhere who always seem to go one better than everyone else. Now I have learnt two things Today; 65Mbit/s = Good enough and only read the apple forums.
Many Thanks

Can't move any apps from screen to screen

I've updated my cell but I can't move any of the apps! I connect my cell to iTunes and it only lets me switch the order of the screens but it won't let me move any apps at all. No rearranging any of them. Help!

In Arrangements, not only can you move the Menu Bar from one display to the other, but you can also move the display orientation, so that they coincide with the true location of each monitor.
Hopefully > Using Dual Displays on Mac OS X will help.

How can I move iTunes music folder to another drive?

I have iTunes version 7.1 running on a notebook with Windows Vista. My iTunes music folder is becoming too large for the C; drive and I am having problems successfully moving it to the D: drive.
I know the folder is in the D: drive because I can see it there. I have followed guidance on how to link it to iTunes: Edit / Preferences / Advanced / General / Change (choosing iTunes music folder on the D: drive) / OK. I have also ticked the "Keep iTunes Music folder organised" box, as well as the "Copy files to iTunes Music folder when adding to library" box. Nevertheless, when I open iTunes my music does not appear in the library.
What am I doing wrong?

Firstly there is more than one kind of iTunes Library file:
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=93732
Secondly you should consolidate your library:
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?path=iTunesMac/7.3/en/670x.html
The following link will give you the instructions to move iTunes to an EHD. These instructions need to be followed EXACTLY.
The 2 metadata files within the main iTunes folder must stay on the main drive of your system as that is their "home", they can't be moved.

C Drive filling up due to songs, D is empty, can I move Itunes to D safely?

As I've been putting my songs into Itunes I keep getting error messages from Windows that my C Drive is getting too full - however my D Drive is virtually empty. Is it okay to just move my whole Itunes folder to D? I was going to and got a message from Windows saying that it could affect the way the program worked.

Yes, you can. To help make sure you have no problems during or after the move, I'd suggest you read the following instructions:

Can I move Itunes from a pc based external hard drive on to a Time Capsule linked to Macbook Air? Is Timecapsule a good backup option for a 'silver surfer'?

I have a Macbook Air, iPod and old pc with external hard drive. My iTunes is on the pc which I sync with my iPod. I am thinking of buying a Timecapsule for backing up Macbook. At the sametime would it make sense/be easy to move iTunes library on to new Timecapsule and access it from Macbook? Or would I have to store the iTunes library on Macbook internal drive? (pc is getting old and will eventually be binned). Thanks in advance

you could do that - or you could employ a pair of *powerline adapters* _*such as these*_.
either way, as William pointed out, it will boost syncing speed and improve reliability.
Or can I attached an external hard drive to the time capsule, set it us as a network drive and then set that drive in the iTunes preferences as where to where its media folder is?
yes. my test iTunes library lives on an external HD hanging off my TC and, using a hardwired connection, data transfer speeds are more than sufficient for what you intend to do.
in fact, i would recommend the external drive connected to the TC over using the TC itself. one reason is that you will not be able to backup what is on the TC's drive using time machine. also, if the TC croaks and needs to be replaced, it will be difficult to retrieve the data from it.
an external HD, otoh, could be connected to you Mac periodically and backed up to another external HD using free apps such as _*Carbon Copy Cloner*_.

Can't move iTunes to new hard drive.

I have installed a new C:\ Hard drive and I am trying to move itunes from my old hard drive to the new.
I have followed the tutorial telling me to just install iTunes on the new hard drive and then move the new itunes folder to the desktop and drag and drop my old itunes folder from the old hard drive (which is still connected) to the new iTunes music folder. But when I open iTunes nothing is there! The folder is there in the Music directory and I can see that the folder size is exactly like the real one and clicking on it in Explorer shows all my files, but again, when I start iTunes nothing show up!
Plz HELP!

Close iTunes.
Copy the entire iTunes folder from the old computer to the new computer.
Hold Shift and launch iTunes. A window will open giving you the option to choose a current library or create a new one.
Point iTunes to the correct library file.
Going forward, simply launch iTunes as normal.

Can't move iTunes Library and Music?

I have my iTunes Library on an external hard drive, and am trying to move it to my Mac's Music folder so that I can sync with iCloud and other devices. I have copied all the Music files over successfully, and redirected iTunes towards the new location under Preferences/Advanced/Media Folder Location. Music files are where they should be as I can see. iTunes playlists all working... BUT, when I disconnect the external hard drive, iTunes can't locate the music file. It must be "pointing" back to the hard drive. Any clues as to how to break this link without losing music files or having to recreate playlists?

Hi Cunnla,
Thanks for the advice. I did just that and then tried to eject the external HD but got an error message ("The disk couldn’t be ejected because “iTunes” is using it. Quit that application and try to eject the disk again"), even though the music folder is Home Folder > Music > iTunes (no the HD version). I quit iTunes, ejected the HD, restarted iTunes and got a further error message ("The song could not be used because the original file could not be found. Would you like to locate it?"). I guess iTunes would like me to relocate manually 2000 songs? Yikes! Any further thoughts?
Thanks in advance,

Can i move itunes to another drive other than my c drive?

I use a smallish SSD drive for my os and a couple games, i was curious if there is away to move itunes from the C drive to a Bigger storage drive and still be able to fully use it. Just need more space for Itunes and it contents.
thanks for any help on the subject.

Niel's advice above will work better. Moving the entire library as unit and then connecting to it works, and makes the next move easy too. Moving the media alone and then editing the media folder location in preferences doesn't work reliably, and may leave the library with broken connections to the old paths that need to be repaired.
@Rockdwg: If you have any iOS devices you may also want to relocate the backup folder.

How can i move icons from one screen to the other?

How do i move icons from one page to another?

Tap and hold any icon for a couple of seconds. They'll all start to wobble. Tap and drag the one you want to move to the side of the screen and the next screen will appear; drop the icon on whatever screen you want it on.
You can also do it quicker in iTunes - connect the phone and click the Apps tab in the main window. You'll see a picture of your phone with the apps laid out. Just click and drag

Can you move iTunes music/playlist from one computer to another?

I have 2 computers. My original computer is a desktop that I originally put iTunes on. It's an emachine with windows XP. Currently it is not hooked up to the internet because we have wireless in the house. I am currently using an Acer laptop so I can access the internet. I just bought an iPod and was going to sync my music from the other computer but my iTunes is not a 9 or greater so I can't sync it. So is there anyway to move the iTunes from one computer to the other? Or what would be the best way to sync the music I have.

I have the same problem as DarkHorse08. I am in the course of moving to a new computer and I have lots of files on my old computer. Both use Windows XP Professional. I want to transfer all my I tunes files to the new computer prior to abandoning the old one. The obvious way to me would be to save a copy of the Library to an external backup drive and then import the files to the new computer. However the program will not allow you to do this - you can only copy to a cd/dvd drive and there is no command to allow you to substitute an external drive such as a backup disk. If you use instead the command Library - Export you can export to a named destination drive such as an external drive but all that is transferred is an XML document file called Library which only has in my own case 2.5mb of data - less than the Library contents.
Apple's suggested route of Sharing is based on setting up a local network - not a serious proposition for most users.
All in all very unsatisfactory.
Unless I am missing something or have got something wrong....
Suggestions welcome.

How do you move or can I move Itune folders (Movies), (TV Shows) and (Home Videos) to other internal hard drives (running out of space) on my computer's main hard drive and have Itunes recongize where they are?

I built my own computer which has 4 internal hard drives with 3 internal hard drives that are 3tb. With my movies and tv shows, I need to know if I can move the Itunes folders (Movies, TV shows and Home Video's) and move each one of them to 3 seperate internal hard drives while Itunes can still find them to play with my apple tv. Does anyone know how I can do it?

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

How can I move itunes/iphoto library from SSD to HD on my new imac?

I have a lovely new imac with the SSD option. My old comps' boot disk was migrated to the SSD because it is the boot disk for the new computer. This is great and speedy but now I'd like to move my huge itunes and iphoto libraries from the SSD to the 2TB HD. I would rather not move the whole 'home' folder. I would appreciate if anyone could tell me how to do this.
with thanks in advance, nedro

Go to ~/Music/iTunes and drag & drop the iTunes Media folder to your HDD. It will not actually be moved, it will be copied. Depending on its size this can take a few minutes. When the copying is finished open iTunes and go to Preferences/Advanced. The first area is +iTunes Media folder location+. Click the Change button, browse to the location of your iTunes Media folder on the HDD and press Choose.
Quit iTunes. Then drag only the iTunes Media folder from the SSD to the Trash and empty. When you restart iTunes it will be using the media folder from it new location.
To move the iPhoto library, quit iPhoto. Got to ~/pictures and drag & drop the iPhoto Library to the HDD. It will be copied to the HDD. Drag the library on the SSD to the Trash and empty. Open iPhoto, follow the dialog in the window that appears to locate and choose your iPhoto Libray on the HDD.
