I'm trying to download iTunes to an external harddrive but it wont let me change to this drive. WHY?

I'm trying to download iTunes to an external harddrive but it wont let me change to this drive. WHY?
There isn't enough room on my laptop and I have deleted all traces of previous iTunes

I think you've misunderstood.
iTunes ONLY works on the C drive.  There is no moving it.  End of discussion.
The MEDIA can be house on any other drive (internal or external).
Install iTunes correctly using the default options.
Once it is installed and working correctly with everything on the C drive, close iTunes.
Follow the instructions here: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1364 to move the iTunes media folder.

  • Download itunes 12.0.1 and now it wont let me sync

    Download new itunes update and now it wont let me sync. Keeps saying I need 26gb of free space which it didn't say before I downloaded the update. It doesn't make sense. It keeps saying:
    The iPod cannot be synced because there is not enough free space to hold all of the items in the iTunes library. (additional 26gb required)
    This makes no sense because before the new itunes update there was no problem with me not having enough space. I have 5gb of free space now and I had 5gb of free space before I downloaded the itunes update. Nothing should've changed. And I should not need an extra 26gb of space. How do i fix this problem so I can my ipod normally again.

    On another post someone posted this. It's a way to fix the problem.

  • Some mp3 downloads are coming up as adobe files and wont let me change file type

    I am trying to download mp3 files or music files and they are coming up as adobe files when the window pops up and it has no option to change the file type and i have clicked the other options and they dont change anything either (e.g. open, save etc) If you then go ahead and try to download it has finished withina few seconds and you have no music file at the end of it.

    .EXE files are not very easy to open on Macs with Mac OS X 10.4.3 or earlier. They typically require an emulation program to run Windows.
    See my FAQ*:
    http://www.macmaps.com/macosxnative.html#WINTEL
    Newer Macs are more capable of running Windows, and can do so natively. You can attempt to find a 10.3.9 compatible alternative compatible application as well. Audio and video files don't play very well on emulation, but work fine in Windows native compatible Macs.
