I want to burn a iTunes on my flash drive. Is it possible?

I want to burn a song from my itunes onto my flash drive. Is it possible?

By the way, the technical term is "copy", not "burn".  Burning involves using a laser to induce a chemical change on an optical disc such as a DVD or CD.

  • Is it possible to run iTunes from a flash drive?

    Hi Everyone,
    I just would like to know if you could run iTunes off a flash drive? It takes up alot of space on my hard drive and was hoping to free some up. I have an 8GB iPod and currently it's filled with 6.08GB of music. I purchased a 16GB flash drive and was thinking I could run it off there. See I don't access iTunes all that often and hopefully won't kill the drive. I guess the next part would be how should I go about it if it's posible?
    Thanks so much in advance!

    You can certainly put your library on a flash drive, though I'd strongly, strongly recommend that you have another copy of your library elsewhere, as flash drives are easily lost, broken or corrupted. You cannot count on tracks always being available for redownload from the iTunes Store, if you have any such.
    The easiest way to move your library is to just drag the entire iTunes folder (the _entire_ folder, _not_ just the iTunes Music folder) to your desired location. Then hold down the Shift key while launching iTunes. You'll be given a dialog box where you can select the iTunes library you want to use. Navigate to and select the iTunes folder in it's new location.
    Note that this procedure assumes that all of your tracks are contained in the iTunes folder. If they're scattered around your volumes, moving them becomes much more complex.  And don't launch iTunes with the flash drive not mounted or iTunes will default back to the internal drive. If it does, though, just mount the external drive and launch iTunes with the Shift key again.
    Don't delete the tracks from the old location until you've confirmed that they're working correctly from the flash drive.
    Regards.

    HI Brigdool,
    It depends how you made the backup.
    If you copied your entire iTunes folder onto the flash drive, just copy it back to the appropriate place on the computer.
    If you copied individual folders or files, add them back to iTunes by inserting the flash drive in your computer, and then dragging the files into your "Automatically Add to iTunes" folder.
    The first method recreates your library as it was, with all playcounts, playlists, etc.  The second method builds a new library with the same content.

    Insert the flash drive into your computer.  Highlight the tracks in iTunes, and drag them to the flash drive.
    If you run iTunes in full screen mode, make it smaller so that you can do the drag.

  • ITunes Library on Flash Drive

    I recently purchased a macbook air, and was going to use mainly as a travel computer, but I find myself using it more and more, and hardly ever using my macbook pro. I am contemplating switching completely over. My one big issue is syncing my iPhone and my iTunes content including mobile apps. The macbook air is somewhat limited in storage with 128 GB. I thought in an effort to maintain maximum portability and also storage space, I would move the iTunes library to a flash drive.
    If I wanted to do this, I assume I simply have to drag the iTunes Library folder from my home on the macbook pro to the flash drive. Then I would just change the preferences in iTunes on the macbook air so that it knows the iTunes library is located on the flash drive.
    Two questions if I have it so far. First, I assume it is not a problem to remove the flash drive so long as I am not accessing iTunes content. Please let me know if this is correct. I store my daughter's iTunes library on an external hard drive, but her computer is a desktop so portability is not an issue.
    The second issue, is whether there are any other libraries or folders that need to be copied or transferred. I ask because I see certain references to mobile apps in preference folders in my user library. At least I think so.
    Any help or thoughts would be appreciated.
    Thanks in advance.

    Change library by holding down the option key while starting iTunes.

    Correct.

    I have no experience with apps. Copying the preferences files will save you some trouble in setting up as long as both iTunes versions are the same.
    On the whole idea of using a flash drive, well, okay. I don't see a flash drive as being as robust and I would definitely make sure you maintain backups.

  • I want to move my itunes library to NAS drive

    I want to move my entire itunes library/content from my macbook pro retina onto my new WD MyCloud NAS drive. Is this a straight forward procedure and will i retain all my playlists/artwork etc etc.
    I have read quite a few (older) posts re this but am still unsure of the 'correct' procedure in order to keep all my settings. I also want to make sure that after I have done this, when i next sync my iphone to itunes I don't want to 'lose' everything from my iphone.
    Any definitive help would be greatly appreciated.

    Copy the entire iTunes folder to the other drive.  Start iTunes while holding down the option/alt key and select the library.itl file in the copied folder.
    I see not infrequent posts here from people who have used a NAS with iTunes.  Things can go wrong.  NAS adds another layer of communication between iTunes and its files and things do not always go well.  Make sure you always have a backup of all your iTunes files on a separate drive because I can personally attest I and others have spent many hours on this forum trying to restore people's libraries on NAS.  I am sure it goes well for some (the people who never need post here) but I see many more posts from people with libraries on NAS than regular external drives.

  • Burn in itunes using external optical drive imac 2009

    My Matsushita optical drive (2009 iMac) no longer works.  Is there an external optical drive that I can purchase for burning music CD's?.  I already have Maverick, but I believe the operating system is not the problem.  The external optical drive has to be compatible with hardware that already has an internal (non-functioning) drive.

    I have a PIONEER DVD-RW  DVR-XD09.
    It's worked on systems with or without optical drives for me since 2009.
    It was $69 at Bestbuy.
    It has a USB/Power combo cable that uses TWO USB ports, but I got a 5v AC adapter for $4.99 and now it only needs one USB port to function. I've burned with it under 10.8.4, 10.8.5 and 10.9.0.
    They've upgraded it since I got mine (Link here) so it can burn Blu-Ray now
