ITunes isn't moving the music to the right folder.

I direct it to D:\Music and it creates and puts it in D:\Music\Music, if I put it in D:\ it will put the music in D:\. It won't do D:\Music. Anyone know the issue?

Interestingly I just checked my phone and all my playlists have been loaded up..go figure...

I moved my music from the c drive to the d drive. All of my music is in itunes but my ipod won't sync with itunes. The syncing process is taking much longer than usual too. I left my ipod over night to sync and it didnt finish. Fails to sync every time.

I recently moved my music to an external hd. I deleted the music from the internal. When i plug in the External,itunes doesnt pick it up. I have pointed itunes towards external but still not working,driving me nuts!

the best way would be to copy the entire iTunes folder (not just the iTunes music or media folder) from <MacintoshHD>/users/<yourname>/music on your Mac to the external, then launch iTunes while holding the option (⌥) key, click on choose library when prompted, and select the iTunes folder on the external.

that tells iTunes where to put new additions to your library, not where the content currently is.

My 40gb can be played but Itunes says it is corrupt. I want to get the music off the Ipod onto my new computer, old computer died which had all the data on it (crap on my behalf I know) Anyone know how to do this?

My hard drive is corrupt even though I can listen to the music on the Ipod. Itunes says it is corrupt so obviously cannot read it properly. You can hear the disk reader resetting every few seconds preventing the data recovery.
We can see the track listings and playlists which we used for our wedding in 2005 and desperately want them back.
Sadly we lost the hard drive that had Itunes on it with all our music which we dont have a back up of.
Is there anyway it can be repaired and then we get the music off the Ipod and get it back on a new pc....and back it up of course?!!!

From the OP: "My old computer got a virus and when that happened all my music was lost. "
They don't have the music on their computer so they cannot transfer the iTunes folder, from the computer to their iPod and then to the new computer. And if they try to enable disk use on the iPod it will erase all the music that is on it. The method you cited is moving the files in a data format using the iPod as a flash drive. It doesn't work if they are in music format. That is why I suggested Yamipod.

My iTunes is running from my external hard drive because I need to make space on my C drive. Could/should I delete the music on the C drive?

Hello Willlig
If iTunes media is taking up a good majority of space on your computer, you can move it by following the steps in the article below.

I have signed into a new account on my itunes on my windows computer. How do I get the music from the new account to be displayed in my library if only the old account's music is showing up?

You can transfer the music purchased from iTunes Store to the computer but not music acquired somewhere else.
Syncing is one way street, computer to iPhone. You have to use 3rd party tool to transfer music not from iTunes Store to the computer.

How can I safely transfer my 125GB of itunes music files to free up space, but still keep itunes on my MBP, and access the music with the cloud and match?

I have already backed up all the itunes files on two different external drives. And I have already set up icloud and itunes match. I am still paranoid about deleting the files from my MBP, but I need to free the space. What steps should I take to delete the files. And can I still keep itunes (w/o all the music files) on my laptop and access the music from the cloud? I know I can run them with the external drive plugged in, but looking for a way to do it w/o pluggin in.

I have tried that as well. The purchased songs are not in my playlists and they are still there. I manually deleted them on the phone but the sync puts them right back on there.
I only sync playlists and they aren't on there.

I would like to play music from my iPhone 5 on the speakers attached to my computer at work. I don't have the authority to download itunes onto the computer. Can I play the music from the phone without having itunes on the computer?

This is all just a partial answer since details will depend upon how you want to do it.

Commercial software utility for transferring songs from i-device to Mac - http://www.fadingred.com/senuti/
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1848 - just media purchased from iTunes Store
You'll need to get it all onto one iTunes collection on your Mac Pro, then sync the devices to that. iTunes only lets you transfer purchases from a device, otherwise you have to use third party software.
I guess you could also look into getting iTunes Match.

I have an old iphone 3 with all of my music on it. The laptop that had them stored in itunes has long since died. Ive got a new iphone 5 and Mac and would like to put the music onto the new iphone.

I have an old iphone 3 that has all my music on it. The itunes library that had all the songs in it is on a laptop that died. Ive got a new iphone 5 and Mac and was wondering how i can transfer the music from the old phone to the new one??

You can transfer the purchases you made on your old iPhone 3 by plugging it in to iTunes and doing File > Devices > Transfer Purchases from your IPhone to the iTunes on your computer. This will get music you purchased in iTunes, apps, etc. (e.g., movies).
But for the rest you would need to restore a backup of your newly deceased computer.
