I have a new Windows tablet computer with limited hard drive space, and cannot transfer my itunes library to the hard drive. Can I run t media from an external hard drive? If so, how do I transfer my files?

I have a new Windows tablet computer with limited hard drive space (32 GB), and cannot transfer my itunes library to the hard drive. Can I run itunes from an external hard drive? I have tried to follow some of the directions on this site, but am having no success. Thanks.

iTunes will run fine with the media on an external drive.
However, I suggest that a tablet computer with a tiny hard drive is not ideal as the primary computer for managing an iTunes library, even a small one. If you have another machine, perhaps a big, boxy, inexpensive old desktop with a decent amount of storage, that might be a better choice.

  • How do I run HD Media from an External Hard Drive?

    I have a Macbook Pro, with Final Cut 7. I'm editing clips in HD shot with Canon 7d. I have a 250GB external Hard Drive. How do I set it up as my "Scratch Disk" and able to run all the media I'm editing from there too (for Playback, ect). And in the end is it going to effect how I export it for YouTube or anything?

    I don't know how to pull media from the hard drive to edit with.
    File>Import. Or drag the media from the scratch drive (after you copy it there from wherever) into your project.
    But you are specifically talking about Canon DSLR footage. These files aren't huge...they are pretty small in fact. But what they are is a codec that isn't editable. You need to convert these to ProRes, THEN edit. You can use the Canon DSLR plugin for FCP to Log and Transfer them (therefore putting them onto your Capture Scratch), or use Clipwrap or MPEG STREAMCLIP to convert them to ProRes. Google "Canon 5D and Final Cut Pro" and find the wealth of people talking about this.

  • How can i run an application from an external hard drive on my macbook air, since I've got less space on my SSD

    Ive got a 128GB SSD on my macbook Air and i know as time goes on ill eventually run out of space so i want to know if their suggestions on how to run applications like google chrome, Skype etc on an external hard drive with out installing int on my SSD.

    Double click on them.
    You could create Aliases and store them in a convenient place.
    Drag the folder with the apps to your Dock and launch them from the folder on your Dock.
    Make sure Spotlight indexes your external disk, then use Command-Space -> name of app -> return

    I had my itunes library on an external drive, I now have a new Windows 7 computer. How can I access my library?

    Hello, robertfromboulder city.
    Thank you for the question.  You can direct iTunes to read your media off your external drive.  To do this, follow the instructions below.  See the section in the first article labeled Discovering and changing the iTunes Media folder location.

  • I recently purchased a new PC. I had backed-up my old computer on Carbonite, so I was able to transfer my iTunes library to the new computer when I downloaded my info from Carbonite. Is there a way to restore my playlists?

    I recently purchased a new PC. I had backed-up my old computer on Carbonite, so I was able to transfer my iTunes library to the new computer when I downloaded my info from Carbonite, but the playlists are gone. Is there a way to restore my playlists?
    Most of my playlists are on my iPod. If I use my iPod to transfer, will the songs double in my library? Also, how do I do this?
    Thank you for any & all info you can provide!
    Julie

    If you had backed up and restored your library properly you should have ended up with the playlists too. Did you import the media folder from the backup drive into a new library rather than restoring the entire iTunes folder?

  • How can I add media from an external hard drive into Premiere Elements? Please answer.

    Alright, so I have looked all over the website and the way adobe's frequently asked questions about adding media did nothing for me. I am editing a large full length video in premiere elements 13 and so I would like to add media from my external hard drive and edit from that location. Is that possible? Because I do not have enough space on my laptop to keep hundreds and hundreds of GB of videos on my internal hard drive. I have looked on how to add media from the hard drive location and adobe says to add it using the files and folders tab, but when I select it to add it, it says I need to use the Video Importer. So I go to use the video importer and have no way of figuring out how to select my hard drive. Any ideas?

    Spencer WhiteOut
    Thank you for the follow up with the information
    it is a MacBook pro retina . OS X Operating system. External hard drive is connected by the USB cable. fat32.
    It is my understanding, whether you have Premiere Elements on Windows or Mac, if you have files on an external hard drive,  you do not select
    Add Media and head for a choice that includes Video Importer. Instead, you select Add Media/Files and Folders and navigate to the external hard drive to select your file(s) for import into the project.
    But, you seem to be saying that when you do you are met with a message to use the Video Importer. Does the message give you any other related information on why you are being detoured to Video Importer since Video Importer does not import from an external hard drive for me or you. It does for me using Add Media to get the files from my external hard drive into a project.  I am strictly an Elements Windows user, so my Mac information is from what I have read. Based on that...
    1. Please evaluate the format of your external hard drive. Please review the following if you have not considered this point before.
    http://www.cnet.com/how-to/how-to-set-up-an-external-hard-drive-for-use-with-os-x/
    There are many online articles on this matter which would point you away from Fat32 as the format for a external hard drive Mac.
    2. From what you wrote, you are not dealing with a DVD drive so I see no way to implicate one of them in this issue. You are dealing with an
    USB external hard drive and not a USB external DVD/CD drive. Correct?
    Please review and consider.
    We will be watch for further news from you.
    Thank you.

  • How to I simply authorize a new windows 8 computer with itunes 11?

    I cannot figure out how to authoriza a new computer in the itunes store.  I only have 2 current computers so should be able to do this, just cannot find in itunes11.  Using windows 8.

    Store menu -> Authorize. If you don't see the menus, go to the small icon with the arrow at the extreme upper left and select "Show Menu Bar":
    Why Apple chose to hide the menus by default I cannot explain.
    Regards.

  • Terrible sound for new Windows 7 Computer with Realtek HD driver.

    I just recently purchased a new HP Pavilion 6230 and it has terrible sound with Windows 7 64 bit. I unistalled the realtek driver and installed realtek's latest driver and to no avail, the sound did not improve. I have searched the internet all over for a solution but there doesn't appear to be one. I believe realtek better take a look at this, or their going to have a nasty backlash on their hands from thousands of consumers, not to mention the manufacturers of the computers which put in the realtek products in the first place.

    I had a similar problem with my Slimline s5330la with Win7.  It started as soon as I took it out of the box.  Any media file sounds distorted with a very annoying intermitent "buzz".  Updating the BIOS (to V5.07) and reinstalling the Realtek HD Audio driver didn't help.  HP support changed the machine (it was 2 days old) and sent me a brand new one........with the SAME problem!!!!!!  I just installed it and it has the same distortion.  I've been on the phone with HP support and they have no clue on what is happening. 
    I suspected that it was not a "sound" problem since when a song is being played with the HP MediaSmart program and the title of the song appears on the screen, the name of the song "jumps" and "freezes" at the same time as the distortion appears as if the machine got some kind of interference.
    After checking the latency of my PC with "DCP Latency Checker" (www.thesycon.de/deu/latency_check.shtml) I realized that the problem was not the sound driver but the wireless driver.  
    Disabiling the 802.11n Wireless PCI Express Card Lan Adapter "corrects" the problem.  This was not a solution given what without that driver you are off-line! However, at least it is more clear what the problem was.  
    I had version 3.0.1.0 (19/05/2009) of the driver by Ralink Technology.  
    HP has no updated driver for that component on their website but I found newer driver on RALINKTECH web.
    I downloaded the 3.1.0.0 version from www.ralinktech.com.   Installed it and the problem was solved.
    Good luck.

  • HT1338 i have a really old mac book with mac osx 10.6 and I cant purchase mountain lion in the app store. it says its not compatible with this computer. what can i do

    I have been trying to purchase mountain lion from the app store and it doesnt let me. I keep getting mobile me in the system preferences and i want to upgrade so i can link this mac book with my icloud account and devices. How can I uograde to mountain lion?

    Choose About this Mac from the Apple menu, click on More Info, and check the model identifier against the following, which are the earliest models capable of running 10.8:
    iMac7,1
    MacBook5,1
    MacBookPro3,1
    MacBookAir2,1
    Macmini3,1
    MacPro3,1
    Xserve3,1
    If your computer is incapable of running 10.8 but has at least a Core 2 Duo(not Core Duo) CPU and at least 2GB RAM, phone the online Apple Store and order a download code for Lion.
