I would like to move the Tv show folder to an external HD. Can I do this without moving the entire iTunes music folder?
I would like to move the TV Shows folder from my iMac's HD to an external HD to free up some space. Can I do this without moving the entire iTunes Library folder? If so, can my other devices like iPads and Apple TV find the moved TV shows folder?
All kinds of things are possible with iTunes, but few of them are easy. Yes, you can isolate TV shows on a different drive. The degree of complexity depends upon how much work and learning you are interested in doing. The easiest solution is to delete them all from iTunes but do not let iTunes delete the actual media files. Then go to the folder where TV shows are located and copy that folder to a different drive. Now hold down the option key and drag them back to iTunes so it adds them again. Using the option key means the file doesn't get copied to iTunes' main media folder. However, since these are being added as new files it means you risk losing some information entered about them such as personal ratings, date added, date last played, etc. There are ways of retaining this data but that's where you really have to learn how to do workarounds with iTunes.
I have never seen an AppleTV, nor used an iPhone but my understanding is these devices do not directly use the files, they do so through iTunes. As long as the entries can be found in iTunes then they should be accessible by other devices.

I store all y music on an external harddrive and update my ipod from that normally. However at the moment I dont have it but would like to put songs that i have added to my itunes and are stored on my computer onto my ipod touch. Is there a way to just add songs to the ipod touch without losing all the rest of the songs on there?
You should be able to to it by using manual syncing method. See that method here:

I purchased the design suite for PC but would like to install my second licensed download on a mac. Can I do this?
Your Windows license might only be installed on a Mac if you install Windows emulation software.
While it might be possible to swap to the Mac platform, which depends on which version is involved, that means giving up the Windows license. -

I visited the USA and bought an Apple iPhone 4 5.1.1, the latest model. I would like to unlock it and use in my country. How can I get it unlocked so the I can use my local micro sim card? What info about it do you need to assist me in unlocking it?
Sounds like you bought an AT&T no contract phone. You will need to contact AT&T for unlocking but they are only doing so for current and previous account holders. If you have never had service with them they will not unlock your phone.

Contact the original cellular provider, as they are the only ones that can provide unlocking.

I have an Ipod with alot of music on it that i have had for a while. The PC i used to sync it to crashed and i lost my itunes library. I now have a new PC and have already started loading new music onto it. I now realize that the music that is on my Ipod is not on the PC yet. I would like to know how to merge my ipod with the old music onto the new PC with the new music. When i pluged it in Itues said it would erase the ipod and replace it with what is now on the PC and of course i said no. So i now have two different libraries and would like to only have one made up of both. Any help?

I have been working on a scholarship short film for a couple of months now (am a senior in high school) and have been using my school's Mac Pros with OSX 10.7 and FCP7 to edit it. Yesterday I bought a Macbook Pro and got FCPX, and am having trouble moving everything over (the computers at school are going to be wiped for the end of the year soon and I must continue to edit it on my MacBook). The project file "MattsShort.fcp" from FCP7 at school isn't even being recognized as a project file by the newest version of FCPX, so obviously I cannot open it and get to work connecting the media. How can I open this file in FCPX? Excluding exporting the project at school to a quicktime movie, I need to be able to further edit the timeline.
Cool, thanks! I was able to import the timeline into FCPX but all of the files are offline, even though I imported the same exact clips that were in the original FCP7 project, into the same 'event' that I have the new FCPX timeline in. I believe the problem lies in that FCPX imported the clips and named them after the date and time they were created, rather than the "Clip #XXX" that FCP7 assigned to the timeline. Does this sound correct? And if so, is the only way to solve this problem to go back to FCP7 and rename all of the clips assigned to the timeline to the names FCPX gave them? I really hope there is a simpler solution but given all of the work it takes to even import a FCP7 project into FCPX, I wouldn't be surprised if that was the only solution.
A little more info: When I use 7toX to convert the XML file, it says that my media will be offline.
EDIT: I just watched a youtube video that explained that 7toX brings over the required media.....why isn't it doing that for me? I am on two different computers if I hadn't already said.

I Note with the iOS8 update when I now delete a msg from a contact thread it still shows up with the time as a recent msg. How do I delete this from recent without deleting the entire thread?

My understanding is that music syncing is a one way process from computer iTunes to your iPhone. I think what you are asking is to have IOS synching back to an OSX or PC system. The software doesn't work that way.
You either have to uncheck the songs to be synced or create a separate playlist for "BC Canada iPhone" and only sync that playlist.
As well any purchases you made on your iPhone need to be transferred to your iTunes so they can come back to your phone when you re-sync.
Hope this helps, even though it's not the answer you might have wanted.

I just bought an iMac with Retina 5K display. I have an existing iPad Air 2. Can I connect the iPad to the iMac without erasing the contents of the iPad? If so how? Thanks for your help.
Hi. Actually you can connect your iPad to the iTunes without erasing the contents which purchased from iTunes Store. I suggest to import your photos taken by iPad to iMac the first time: Import photos and videos from your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch to your Mac or Windows PC - Apple Support.
Also you can click to stop syncing to avoid losing some contents.

I had been sending group imessages in a thread earlier in the day on my iPhone 5 and later when I got my iPhone 6 I received an iMessage in the thread and sent an iMessage back, but when the other person responded it showed up as received from unknown. Once that happened I can still receive iMessages from the other two people in the thread, but I can only send a text back. If I send an iMessage individually to each person everything is fine and as it's always been. It's just the when I send a message in the group. I've tried signing out of iMessage and turning off iMessage and restarting my iPhone. Nothing seems to work. Any help is greatly appreciated.
Hey kenth93939!
Here is an article for you about group messages that has some helpful information and troubleshooting tips for this issue:
iOS: Understanding group messaging
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5760
The Group Messaging setting applies only to MMS messages.
Your wireless carrier may restrict the maximum number of recipients allowed in a group message with MMS.
Disabling Group Messaging has no effect on iMessage behavior. Responses to group iMessages are always sent to all recipients.
Group messaging with MMS requires an appropriate plan from your carrier for use on iPhone.
Carrier messaging rates may apply when using group messaging with MMS.
Additional Information
It is not possible to remove yourself from a group message.
To add or remove recipients, you must create a new group message conversation.
If you experience an issue with iMessage, SMS, or MMS messaging, try the steps outlined in this article.
To learn more about SMS, MMS, and iMessage see iOS: Using Messages.
Thanks for being a part of the Apple Support Communities!
