Linking I-tunes library to external drive

I have managed to successfully relocate my i-tunes library onto an external drive, having followed instructions in the i-tunes for Dummies book. (my laptop internal hard drive was full). However, i-tunes has not linked itself to the external i-tunes library file. I understood that this should happen automatically. How do I link them together?

Hey there,
One thing you should check is where your iTunes searches for your iTunes folder. Head to iTunes and then Preferences. When the window pops up, head over to the Advanced tab. Near the top of the tab, you will see where iTunes currently locates your Music folder. Click the Change button and then direct it to where the folder is located on your External drive. See if that helps.

  • Having trouble linking to iTunes library on external drive

    I know there have been may questions on this topic but I can't seem to find answer I am looking for. Here is my scenario....
    I have my iTunes stored on an external hard drive that is connected to windows machine. I have recently purchased a MacbookPro. I want to connect to my external hard drive from the MBP so I can listen to my songs on my MBP.
    I have configured preferences in iTunes on MBP to use the iTunes library(songs) on external hard drive. When I open iTUNES on MBP I choose the index file that I have shared on my windows machine. So the problem is iTunes is not displaying all my songs on the iMAC.
    Does anyone have any idea why this happening?
    The end result is I would be connecting to the same library from windows machine and my Mac. Can this be done?
    Thanks and I look forward to your replies.

    Tried hooking up my external drive to my Mini. This morning my Mini had all my info listed, but I couldn't play any songs, for obvious reasons. Now, my Mini is hooked up to the external, iTunes prefs are set on the path to the external - but there is no music in iTunes. No lists, no songs, nada. Just a virgin iTunes window. ***?

  • I-Tunes won't play most of my i-Tunes library on external drive

    OK, I store my music on an external hard drive and now i-Tunes will not recognize most of the my music. I've tried changing the i-Tunes music folder location several times under Edit/preferences/ advanced, but there is a huge amount of music that i-Tunes will not recognize (message - "The song" " could not be used because the original file could not be located, would you like to locate it?" ) It seems that tunes that have been added more than 6 months ago or so are not visible to i-Tunes, they show on the i-Tunes browser, and I know that the music files are there on the disc, in the folder, but for some reason i-Tunes can't locate them. Note - I do have two external hard drives for back up (I've had them fail on me before and it aint pretty when you don't have a backup of your backup) I switch them occasionally to hedge my bets. I've done a decent job of keeping both discs updated. Like I said, I've checked several times and can see the music files.
    Any ideas? Thanks for any advice!

    I have the same problem. So far this is what I've done but I am not 100% certain it will work. What I did was went to the file tab in iTunes and selected "Add to library". I then selected the iTunes folder in my hard drive and it is still reading it and adding to the library. When I'm done I plan to check for duplicates (if any) and reorganize the whole thing. I'll let you know how it went when it is done.

  • Problems backing up I-tunes library to external hard drive.

    Help - I'm having problems backing up I-tunes library to external hard drive. The drive appears on the desktop but when I try to drag in my i-tunes music folder I just get the circle with a line through it symbol. I can drag items from my mac to a different 4 gig memory stick with no problems. I put some music onto the hard drive from a windows p.c. and that dragged into my i-tunes fine. Any help would be much appreciated.

    i'm guessing the external HD is NTFS formatted, which your Mac cannot write to (read only).
    you will either have to reformat it (FAT32 or, better yet, for Mac) or install the _*NTFS 3G*_ driver.

  • How to switch my Itunes library from External Drive to Internal drive

    I recently formated my hard drive and backed up all my tunes to an external drive. When the computer was back and running I imported my tunes from the external drive to my Itunes. However itunes still reads music from the external even though the music is also in a Itunes folder in my Music folder in documents. I tried deleting Itunes and reinstalling but it still looks at the external first. When I look at the advanced tab in itunes it says the music plays from my C drive but if I disconnnect my external drive the music won't play because it's still looking there. I would like the music to play from my internal drive and only use my external drive for backing up. What should I do? Thanks!

    Choose Home from the Finder's Go menu, double-click the Music item, and drag it there.

  • Can't read iPhoto library from external drive

    I suddenly can't can't read iPhoto library from external drive. I have talked to WD and nohing is wrong with the network drive. I can open images and files from it. But, I can't read in iPhoto Library.

    Network Drive? a NAS?
    iPhoto needs to have the Library sitting on disk formatted Mac OS Extended (Journaled). Users with the Library sitting on disks otherwise formatted regularly report issues including, but not limited to, importing, exporting, saving edits and sharing the photos.
    Basically, you need to move the library to a correctly formatted disk.

    Mel,  Sure, although that is "copying," not "burning."  It is easily done, as follows:
    Insert the USB stick into your computer, and open it up so it looks like a folder.  Highlight the songs you want in iTunes, and drag them into the folder.
    If you normally run iTunes in full screen mode, make it smaller so that you can do the drag.

  • Can't show User/Library in external drive

    I can set my Mac to show Library in Users on the main drive (terminal or keystroke) but NOT on an external drive...
    How can I access User/Library on external drives?

    Check that you’re in the correct folder and entering the exact text posted.
    If you’re using the Go to Folder command and providing Library, it’ll open the one in the current folder. If you provide ~/Library/, it’ll always open the one in your home folder.
    If you’re using the chflags command, the path will look like /Volumes/volumename/Users/username/Library/ and not /Users/username/Library/.

  • Transfering I tunes Library to external hard drive?

    Hi,
    The other day to free up space on my hard drive I transferred my Itunes Folder to an external hard drive. When I updated to 5.0 and went into preferences to point to the new location for the library I tunes does not recognize the library.
    I have not synced up my ipod which has all my bought songs which of course are not backed up. So my question is can the library be on a external hard drive? And if not can I sync up my ipod so that the songs from the ipod will fill the new 5.0 and not lose my songs?
    Thanks

  • Save library & i-tunes files to external drive?

    How can i set up everything from the i-tunes set up files through to the library onto my external drive. I want to do this on my laptop as it's not a new system and soon fills up when I start putting my cd collection into the library to upload onto my ipod. I've tried a couple of times unsuccessfully.
    Please help

    Just do it like I said. Copy your iTunes folder (the entire upper level folder with the database files inside it and also the iTunes music folder inside it) to your external drive. No need to rename it. Now hold down the SHIFT key and open iTunes. Navigate to the library on the external drive. You should now see everything there just like when you used the internal drive.
    Now, until you change the location again, everytime you open iTunes, it should default to the external drive location. To check, go to the iTunes preferences and see if the location of the iTunes Music folder is specified as your external drive location. If so, then you are done and all new stuff added will go on the external drive location.
    At this point you can either delete your library from the internal drive completely. Leave the one there as is. Use the internal library but delete a lot of stuff out of it to give you a reduced version for travel, start a new one on the internal, etc.

  • Linking itunes on new computer with library on external drive

    I have just purchased a new PC and want to run Itunes on it. I had moved my library to an external hard drive which I want to use with the new computer. I have downloaded iTunes to the new computer but I don't know how to get it to find the library on the external drive. Is this an easy procedure even for someone with limited computer skills?

    Thanks for responding Chris. I followed the instructions from Apple and moved the music files over to the external drive. I'm not sure what that left of itunes on the old computer. Now I've downloaded itunes to the new computer and even though the external drive is connected itunes library is empty. I can see that all the music files are actually on the external drive, I just don't know how to get the two linked. I'd like to keep all the music on the external drive to conserve space.

  • Moving I-tunes library to external hard drive??????

    Ran out of memory with all the pics and music on computer. So I bought an external harddrive that connects with USB 2.0. How should I move the library over to the external hard drive and having it work while itunes is installed on the internal hard drive? Any help would be much appreciated.

    To move your iTunes music...
    Quit iTunes.
    Move the entire iTunes folder including music to the external drive.
    Click on the iTunes icon to start it, then immediately press an hold the Shift key in Windows, Option key in Mac.
    iTunes will ask to Create new library or Choose existing library. Select Choose existing library and select the library in the folder you just moved.
    Move the old iTunes folder to the trash but do not empty it.
    Restart iTunes normally and verify the songs work. If they do, empty the trash.

  • HT1364 Auto-save i-Tunes purchases to external drive?

    I have to use an external drive because my laptop (limited HD/RAM) cannot support my music library (too big).  When I purchase i-Tunes, how can I make sure they save to the external drive and not to the laptop?  I had it set-up when I first started using the external drive, but lately I've noticed that purchases and playlists are saving to the laptop again.  How can I check this and transfer whatever saved, inadvertantly, to the laptop back to the external drive?  Then, how do I make sure that my purchases/library is intact on the external drive AND that future purchases go to the external drive?

    I'm not sure Windows 2000 & iOS go together.
    If you launch iTunes when the external drive isn't ready then the the media folder will revert back to the default path on the internal drive.
    To avoid this problem place the entire library on the external drive. See make a split library portable for more information.

  • ITunes Library on External Drive - NO .xml file

    i recently had some serious hard drive corruption on my old computer, and figuring it was time for an upgrade anyway I decided to buy a new MacBook.
    i had been storing all of my iTunes music on an external hard drive. i'm trying to figure out how to get my new MacBook to be able to access the music. I've changed the location of my library to the external drive in iTunes preferences, but no luck.
    I know that iTunes has an .xml file where it stores things like song titles, data, etc etc -- unfortunately, that .xml file is on my old, ruined hard drive -- all i have is my external drive with my MP3s.
    what do i do at this point? how can i access all of these songs using iTunes on my new MacBook without that .xml file?

    There are 2 files that give iTunes and other apps the info the need to perform. The files are iTunes Library and iTunes Music Library.xml.
    The default location of the 2 files is HD>Users>User Account>Music>iTunes - do not move regardless where your actual tunes are located. If the files are not present in the default location then iTunes will create new files with no info in them until you add the tunes back to the library.
    This is from the iTunes Help Menu with a search for "files":
    What are the iTunes library files?
    The iTunes library is a database iTunes uses to organize your music. Two iTunes library files are created and maintained by iTunes for different purposes. They're both in the iTunes folder.
    Mac OS X
    /Users/username/Music/iTunes/iTunes Library
    /Users/username/Music/iTunes/iTunes Music Library.xml
    Microsoft Windows
    \Documents and Settings\username\My Documents\My Music\iTunes\iTunes Library.itl
    \Documents and Settings\username\My Documents\My Music\iTunes\iTunes Music Library.xml
    The two different iTunes library files serve different purposes.
    iTunes Library (iTunes Library.itl in Windows)
    This file is a database of the songs in your library and the playlists you've created. Some song-specific data is saved in this file. If you delete the file, iTunes creates a new, empty copy when you open the application, but any playlists, song ratings, comments, or other information you created is lost. The iTunes Library file is only used by iTunes.
    Note: The library file name for versions of iTunes prior to 4.9 was "iTunes 4 Music Library" for Mac OS X and "iTunes 4 Music Library.itl" for Windows. After upgrading to iTunes 4.9 or later, the older library files are moved to a "Previous iTunes Libraries" folder.
    Tip: New versions of iTunes sometimes include enhancements to the iTunes library. When you open the new version of iTunes, iTunes upgrades your existing library to the new format and places a copy of the old library in the Previous Libraries folder. If everything goes fine during your upgrade to the latest version of iTunes, you can delete the older iTunes Library files.
    iTunes Music Library.xml
    This file contains some (but not all) of the same information stored in the iTunes 4 Music Library file. The purpose of the iTunes Music Library.xml file is to make your music and playlists available to other applications on your computer. In Mac OS X other iLife applications (like iPhoto, iDVD, and iMovie) use this file to make it easier for you to add music from your iTunes library to your projects.
