ITunes 10.7 install wants to move my music library.

I need to upgrade iTunes 10.6 on my Windows 7 Lenovo T420 laptop to 10.7 to use my new iPod Classic (replaces my iPod video), and I'm not yet ready to accommodate the changes in iTunes 11.
My iTunes music data files have been moved to a large partition on V: while the directories .itdb, .itl, and .xml are still on C: . When I attempt to install 10.7, I'm told there is insufficient space on C: for the needed 80GB+, which tells me it wants to move the music files to C:
My question: Is there an alternate install process which will recognize and leave the large music DB where it is?
Thanks in advance!!
Michael

I'm pleased to say (but confused) that when I ran the install again to get the error message exact wording, the install was successful. Now I wish I had retried without bothering this forum. Many thanks for your response.

  • I have been a customer of ITunes and Apple since 2007. Movies, Apps, Music and books  Itunes has been my only source for my media needs.

    I have been a customer of ITunes and Apple since 2007. Movies, Apps, Music and books  Itunes has been my only source for my media needs. 397 Apps 759 Songs over 100 Videos 13 books 3 IPhones 2 IPods So here is my problem with ITunes I purchased an App and it is identical to one I have already brought. The App description did not say anything that it would not do what I was trying to do. I wrote sup[port and asked if they could issue a credit. Mari at support wrote back and said he checked with his supervisor and they could not issue a credit.  I told them what a good loyal customer I have been to Itunes and Apple and they still refused.  Granted the App did not cost a lot of money (3.99) but it’s the principle. With customers having options to shop anywhere I would think a business would do whatever it takes to retain the loyal customers they do have Occasionally I rush to buy an App without fully understanding if it meets my needs. According to ITunes support that has occurred nine times. Here is the last reply that I received Roger, I know how frustrating it can be when things don't work the way they should be  and I do apologize for the inconvenience that this may have caused you. I am sorry but we could not be able to grant your request as we have made 9 exceptions on you. For more information on Apple's requirements for using the iTunes Store, please refer to the iTunes Store Terms and Conditions:http://www.apple.com/legal/itunes/us/terms.html Again, I am hoping for your kind understanding regarding this matter. Sincerely Mari iTunes Store/Mac App Store Advisor

    "The App description did not say anything that it would not do what I was trying to do."
    You've already had 9 refunds? You understand that apps are sold on a non-return policy, presumably. You bought an app that didn't claim to do something that you wanted from it, and now that you've found that it doesn't, you want your money back.
    Perhaps you've failed to explain your point properly but I can't see why you expect any sympathy from users here, not that it would make any difference. Only the store staff can issue refunds if they think appropriate. Chalk it up to experience. You could even contact the developer in advance of a purchase if you want to be certain an app does what you want. Then if it really fails to live up to the promise you would at least have a better argument for a refund.

  • We want to transfer the music library on our Mac to a second ipad without transfering any other data.  we share an itunes account and I just can't figure out how to get the music onto the new pad

    We are trying to move our music library stored on the Mac to a second ipad.  We have already set up the second ipad and are only interested in getting select music onto the second ipad.  When we plug the ipad into the imac and connect to iturnes it wants to set up or restore the second ipad.  We're afraid if we do this it will remove all current information on the second ipad.  Thanks

  • ITunes shows that there are no songs on my iphone but there are 274 songs there. The data storage shows up as "other" on iTunes. I just want to clear the music on my phone but  I can't seem to do so. Is there any way to do this?

I just want to clear the music on my phone but  I can't seem to do so. Is there any way to do this? You used to be able to swipe and delete a song straight from your phone but I can't seem to do that anymore.

    That is stealing.

  • ITunes crashes, whenever I want to listen to music

    I don' have any problems to import music from CDs to my hard disc, but then ITunes crashes whenever I want to listen to music from my hard disc. Usually not only iTunes, but alll the OS. Could somebody please tell me what might be the reason for that annoyance? Thank you very much!

    When I use iTunes to listen to music on my G4, it plays fine for about an hour ... then triggers a restart of the whole system. It happens plugged in, on battery power, with the network available, without the network available, with AirPort on or off ... in short, it's happened every time regardless of what other variables I've changed. And this has been happening for several versions of iTunes ... I first noticed it in February '05. This leads me to believe that it's intentional ... so how do I turn off this 'feature'???
    WOULD SOMEONE PLEASE ANSWER THIS QUESTION?!?!?!?!?

  • ITunes freezes up when I select movies in my Library. I am using a MacBook Pro and have the latest upgrades on software. Thanks for any advice.

    iTunes freezes up when I select movies in my Library. I just downloaded a few new movies and now I cannot scroll to where they are without a freeze up. I have restarted numerous times, and have not opened any other programs while trying to access my list of movies. Any suggestions? Thanks....

    Restart your computer and lauch the Activity Monitor application.  That will show you all the programs running on your computer along with how much RAM and CPU time each application is using.  Next, launch iTunes and see how many resources it is taking up.  Is it hogging all the available RAM and/or CPU cycles?  It could be that you don't have enough free RAM or CPU cycles.  If you're running close to 100% before you get to the movies, it could be they are pushing you over the top.  The Activity Monitor application can show you if that's the case.  If so, then try to select Movies and see if your iTunes application starts trying to use up even more resources.  If so, try a RAM upgrade and/or a faster processor.  These are just suggestions, of course, but I hope they help.

  • Hi! How do I reinstall iTunes software without losing my purchased movies and music?

    Hi! How do I reinstall iTunes software without losing my purchased movies and music?
    Thanks anyone!

    Just reinstall. Unless something's seriously wrong with your computer, you won't lose any content or settings. Of course it's always wise to have a backup before you make any changes to your computer.
    Might I ask what problem you're experiencing that you think will be corrected by reinstalling iTunes?
    Regards.

  • Bought an iPod Classic.  First iPod, had a Zen for years, I want to transfer my music library, approximately 15,000 songs without creating an iTunes Media library.

    Bought an iPod Classic.  First iPod, had a Zen for years, I want to transfer my music library, approximately 15,000 songs without creating an iTunes Media library.  All of the music is currently in WMA format.  As you can imagine, 15,000 songs takes up a lot of space and I do not wnat it duplicated on my harddrive in an iTunes Media Library.  What are my options?-Shawn

    Change your mind, or change your device.
    You can't put wma files on an iPod classic. You can't put files onto an iPod without adding them to a media library first.

  • I installed ipod & it sorted my music library...UGH!  WHY?

    So I have an ipod mini. I have had it a few months now and something has been bothering the heck out of me and I want to know if there is anything I can do about it.
    When I first installed itunes on my computer, it re-arranged my music library and put everything into categories according to artist. Now, whenever I add a song, it makes a new folder with this new artists name and puts that song in that folder. Know what I'm saying?
    Now, my question is, how do I change this? I tried taking songs out of folders, and just leaving them in the main MUSIC folder, but then when I click my MUSIC folder open, they are back into a new folder with that artists name.
    HELP! I just want my songs to be how I had them and not in all these folders!
    Can anyone help or know what I am talking about?
    THANKS!!
    Amanda

    Okay, I have deselected that option - THANK YOU!!!!!!!
    I suppose I have to go in and manually take the songs out of the litterally 2000 folders in there to get rid of all those artist folers, hey? There is no way I can just tell it to take everything out of those folders all at one time?
    Thank you so much for your help!!!!!

  • HT5622 My wife and I have different Apple ID's and passwords but I want to share the music library which is on iCloud under my Apple ID.  How do I set her up to share the music library that exists in iCloud?

    My wife and I have different Apple ID's and passwords but I want to share our music library which is on iCloud under my Apple ID.  How do I set her up to share the music library that resides on the iCloud under my Apple ID?

    You would need to go to Settings>iTunes & App Store, tap her ID, sign out, then sign back in with your ID.  However, if she has turned on automatic downloads, download previous purchases or signed into an iTunes Match account using her current ID, she would have to wait 90 days from when she first did this to change to another ID.  She can, of course, sync your music to her device using iTunes without changing her ID association.
