Is it possible to make a copy of my entire iTunes library to my USB 20 gig?

I would like to back up my ENTIRE library (not just purchased songs) so that I could restore it if I ever needed to. I have around 8 gigs of data in my library which requires about 4-5 CD's to back up. Maybe this is a dumb question, but isn't there any other media option besides CD's??? Like, say, an external hard drive (USB SanDisk)?? That way I could just perform a periodic backup using ONE device instead of taking like an hour and a bunch of CD's.
Thanks in advance for any help you can give on this topic!

  • I want to copy music from my iTunes library to a usb device for playing in radio with a usb input?

    MacBook Pro (13-inch, Mid 2012) Processor 2.9 GHz Intel Core i7 Memory 8 GB 1600 MHz DDR3, running OS X Yosemite Version 10.10.2  I would like to copy music from my iTunes library to a usb device (Transcend 8GB) for playing in my Kenwood KDC - 258U. I am having trouble with the radio recognizing music on the Transcend usb.  Suggestions?

    Thank you for your reply.  I finally figured out that I needed to use the disk utility and erase using the MS-DOS (FAT) option and making sure there were no other partitions.  Then I simply used finder to tag music in my iTunes library and drag them to my USB drive.  Most of my music is MP3 although my Kenwood will read several formats.

  • How do I copy my entire iTunes library to a USB Flash Drive?!

    I'm trying to copy my iTunes Music Library to a Flash Drive, and having difficulties copying the entire library to the flash drive.
    Any help?!

    How big is the flash drive? How big is the iTunes folder? If there is enough room it should just be a case of copying the folder from <User's Music> to the flash drive.

  • Is it possible to make a copy of the Leopard install DVD?

    Is it possible to make a copy of the Leopard install DVD? If so, is there a special way this has to be done? I just found out that we needed to use the Leopard install DVD to recover a complete backup from Time Machine after a recent hard drive failure. We have the family pack of Leopard, so I would like to keep the original at home and send a copy when my daughter goes off to college in case she needs to recover again. Her machine was originally a Tiger MacBook, so those install disks will not work. If it is not possible to copy the DVD, is there a way to create a bootable utility to do a time machine recovery?

    This half-solved my problem. I have had no problems creating a backup copy for my intel based computers, but non-intel based computers are problematic; a G5 powermac tower and a G4 Powerbook. Both with super drives for single density burning. Both have Leopard running, installed from an install disc purchased from Apple. However, neither will mount the copy, but intel based computers will. have burnt/burned with both toast 9 and Disc Utility. Discs won't mount and are "spit out" by the drive.
    Power Mac G5 OS X: 10.5.4
    Model Identifier: PowerMac7,3
    Processor Name: PowerPC G5 (3.0)
    Processor Speed: 2 GHz
    Number Of CPUs: 2
    L2 Cache (per CPU): 512 KB

    Any thoughts?

  • I need to make a copy of an entire email, including the header w/the sender's info and time, etc. to insert into a letter, etc. How can I do this w/out cutting and paste and doing the header separately from the text.

    I need to make a copy of an entire email, including the header w/the sender's info and time, etc. to insert into a letter, etc. How can I do this w/out cutting and pasting   the header separately from the text. I know there is a way besides a screen shot but I've spend hours trying to find it.

    For the particularly persnickety types you might want to expose the full headers in the email message as well.  It's easy enough to do, from mail's 'menu' select "view"; then "message"; then all headers.
    Another option you could use is a screen capture using Grab.
    Activate Grab, then shift + command + w (for a window screen shot).  Then confirm the window selection and click the mail message.

    Is it possible to make a rescue email for an iTunes account that is currently in use? If it is how do I do it?

    If you know the answers to your security questions then steps 1 to 5 half-way down the page that you posted from will take you to a screen where you can add one.
    If you don't know their answers then you will need to contact iTunes Support / Apple to get the questions reset.
    Contacting Apple about account security : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5699
    When they've been reset you can then use those steps to add a rescue email address for potential future use

  • Can you make a Keyword Collection for entire event library?

    Hello all,
    So you make an event, and you can make Keyword Collections for that particular event, such as "WS" or "Person 1" or "Indoors"... But...
    What if those keywords apply to other events?
    I am making video content for a particular company. I shoot stuff one day import as an event. The only content that I produce is for this company, so you can imagine there are going to be similar themes across mutable events...
    As you know this is how it is organized >
    DRIVE
    >2012
    >Event
          >Keyword Collection
    This is how I want to get organized>
    DRIVE
    Master Keyword Collection
    >2012
    >Event
         >Keyword Collection
    > Here is an example of how I think It should be
    DRIVE
    "All Interior Shots"
    >2012
      > Event
         >Interior Shots
    So can you make a Keyword Collection for entire event library?
    Can some one please explain if is this is possible? If not please update!

    Andy,
    Yes you can but that feature only works if you are searching a single event (Pretty Cool/Useful), Creating a smart collection based on what you tick off in the dialogue box... You will get an error message if Searching the drive itself:
    LOL
    I did some playing around...
    I created a new event
    Then I ran a search, with Keywords ticked off, Ticking off mutable Keyword Collections.
    Then dragged the results into my new event.
    This in effect created "saved search results" but Final Cut started copying clips to that event folder that was created on my external HD. I was hoping that It would generate alias files...
    I also...
    Created a new project
    Ran the Search with Keywords
    Dragged all clips into the project..
    This also in effect created  "saved search results" but not really what I was hoping :/

  • Copying wmv file into itunes library

    I have a wmv file that I would like to put on my Ipod, but I can't copy it into the itunes library (nothing happens, no error message, nothing). How can I put this video in itunes so that I can put it on my Ipod

    Look at it in Windows explorer - does it say it is WMA protected? If so, iTunes can't play it.

  • Is this legal? (Copying Entire iTunes Library)

    Hi
    I know how to do it, but want to know if this is legal. I'm going on a long haul flight next week and want to copy my entire itunes library to my Macbook Pro then delete all the music and just keep the TV Shows and Movies for watching on route, is this legal?
    Thanks

    Hello there,
    So you are talking about just moving your library over to a new computer? If so, then yes, it is legal. Nothing wrong with that. People do it all the time.
    As long as you aren't copying it to somebody else's computer for them to have or keep.

  • Unfortunately I have deleted my entire itunes library and back up from my computer, is there any way I can copy my ipod nano back onto my computer into the itunes library? and re-download all the tunes I have purchased  from I tunes.

    Unfortunately I have deleted my entire itunes library and back up from my computer, is there any way I can copy my ipod nano back onto my computer into the itunes library? and re-download all the tunes I have purchased  from I tunes.

    Hello bigali,
    Your options are kinda limited. I would use this first:
    Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and ...
    Then check here for the non-purchased items:

    You want to rebuild the library first, then sync the ipod.

  • HT1848 How can I get a copy of my entire music library on iTunes to the 'My Music' folder on my computer?

    I have a bunch of music that I have bought or downloaded from a variety of places. I would like a copy of ALL my music on my computer, not just iTunes, so I can put songs on other devices, such as my phone. How can I copy my entire iTunes library into a folder on my computer (which is an Acer with Windows 7)? Thanks!

    If they are in your iTunes library, they are aready on your computer. 
    To see the location of a particular song file, right-click its library entry and choose "Show in Explorer."
    To copy it to another location, use Copy & Paste, as you would with any file.

  • Garage Band isn't reading my entire iTunes Library, am I missing something in the settings? how do I make entire library available?

    Garage Band isn't reading my entire iTunes Library, am I missing something in the settings? how do I make entire library available?

    In general, whatever you see in your iTunes app (playlists, songs, etc) should also be displayed in GarageBand when you select the Audio tab in the Media Browser.
    One hidden feature is that you can have multiple iTunes Libraries (as you can have multiple iPhoto Libraries).
    When you click on the iTunes icon in the Dock and immediately after the click hold down the option key, the following window will pop up.
    It lets you create a new empty Library or choose to open a different existing Library (that you have created before). Whatever Library you chose the last time you opened iTunes will be the "current" iTunes Library and that is the one that is displayed in GarageBand. (it is a system wide preference). You even can have GarageBand open while switching to a different iTunes Libraries and GarageBand will update the displayed Media Browser content.
    Here are two screenshots of my GarageBand app displaying two different iTunes Libraries
    So in case you used that feature, you might see a different iTunes content than you expected.
    (BTW, this "multiple Libraries" feature comes in also very handy with iPhoto, where you can have separate Libraries for you family, your band, your business, or whatever you want to separate photos. Also good for individual backups)
    Hope that helps
