  • HT1589 I moved my Itunes files to a secondary drive but cant see all the songs

    I moved my Itunes files to a secondary drive because my hard drive was full but now when I pull up itunes it only has my songs that were dowloaded none of my updoaded cd files are showing however all of the files are still in the folder.
    I changed the location of the files under preferences but it does nto see them.
    Do I have to add each file again to the Itunes library or is there another way to make iTunes recognize what is there?
    please advise
    thanks
    Shawn

    If you copied over the whole iTunes folder then shift-starting-iTunes should allow you to get reconnected. If you only moved the iTunes Media folder then copy the main iTunes library folder to <Alt.Drive>\iTunes, move the media folder to <Alt.Drive>\iTunes\iTunes Media then open the library file <Alt.Drive>\iTunes\iTunes Library.itl.
    If there are still tracks that can't be found then as long as there is some semblance of order my script FindTracks should have a reasonable stab at reconnecting things.

  • Moving my user files to FW drive containing Snow Leopard.

    I installed SL on an external Firewire drive and planned to use Migration Assistant to copy my apps, user files, etc., onto the new installation. Migration Assistant copied only one account (I have two accounts on my 10.5.8 installation which is on my internal drive) to the SL . How can I copy the second account, the most important one, to my SL drive without disturbing the system files? Time Machine? Superduper 2.6?

    I gave up on trying to massage my SL installation and I cleaned off another 300 GB external FW drive, installed SL on it and used Migration Assistant to move my stuff from my internal drive (running 10.5.8). MA worked O.K. It did restart itself once and began at the beginning but after that it moved everything. Apple should take a look at MA to make sure it's working properly. Had that hiccup happened further along in the data transfer it might have caused a "not enough room" error.
    My Canon iP4600 printer and my old Lexmark 4019 laser printer (using a CUPS driver and a parallel to USB adapter) are working normally. I tried my Canon 8400f scanner using the Canoscan Toolbox and Adobe Photoshop Elements 6 and they seem to work, at least this one time.

  • I moved by iTunes files to an external drive because I was changing computers. I then moved the files to the new computer. My iPod is not linking with the files on the computer.  What can I do?

    I moved my iTunes files from my old computer to an external hard drive.  I then moved those files to the new computer. My computer and iPad are not linking up (recognizing each other?).  I installed the latest version of iTunes onto the new computer to see if that would help.  It did not--I got the message that an iPad can only be linked up with one computer and the new download would not work with this iPod.  So the iTunes' library and my iPod are not connecting, and I have no way of installing or removing new songs onto my iPad.  What should I do to correct this?

    Sorry, I had a typo.  The last sentence should have read "iPod" (iPad):  So the iTunes' library and my iPod are not connecting, and I have no way of installing or removing new songs onto my iPod.  What should I do to correct this?

  • I moved my users/yourname folder my other drive and want to move it back

    Hi there.
    I recently swapped out the internal hard drive for an SSD and I swapped the optical drive for another HDD.
    I use the SSD as a system drive that I don't write to.
    The HDD is for audio and documents.
    I moved my users/yourname to the HDD including the library folder but it's been strongly recommended that I move the users folder back to the system drive and move the iTunes, iPhoto, docs,and desktop folders to the HDD.  Do I just simply copy the folder back over to the SSD and delete the folders on the HDD? do I need to do anything in the terminal?
    thanks for your help.
    -Matt

    You could point your home folder to the new destination so the system recognizes it as such, and not touch anything. See below

  • Mover user file to second hard drive

    I have a new iMac with a SSD on which applications are loaded, and everthing else is there by default.  But I wanto store music, documents, photos, etc on the second hard drive.  Can I just drag the "user" file to the second hard drive, since that's the file that contains docs, photos, etc?

    Yes, but if you want to use it as something other than a backup, you also need to open the Accounts pane of System Preferences, control-click your account, and change the home folder path. This will look like /Volumes/volumename/foldername/ when changed.

  • Moving Large Picture Files to External Hard Drive

    My Aperture3 library has swallowed up all the available space on my iMac 24. I do have a 2TB G drive hooked up, but I am unsure of transferring my aplibrary to it and then erasing the copy left on my iMac. It takes more faith than I have at the moment. (about 195GB) If there are any photogs out there experiencing this and have a solution please advise. My computer is already warning me that there is no more space. Thank you.

    If you're getting warnings you don;t have much time left before bad things happen. How big is the internal drive on the iMac? Are you sure the problem is the Aperture library and not something else?
    Assuming it is the library then the quickest thing to do is to copy the entire Aperture library over to the external drive. Use Finder and just drag the .aplibrary file over to the external drive. Once the copy is done start Aperture on this new library (double click the library on the external drive). Make sure the library opens and everything looks ok. 
    If you're really paranoid (and who isn;t when it comes to our images) you should get a second external drive and copy the library to that one also.
    Anyway once you are sure that the copy went OK, Aperture opened the library on the external drive and all your images are there, then and only then you can delete the library on the internal drive.
    good luck

  • Moved user - files missing - help please

    My hard drive is about full so I installed a second, much bigger drive. I want to keep the small drive as the boot drive and use the new drive for data. So..... I moved the user files to the new drive. Now lots of file, most importantly some pictures, are missing. How do I tell the system where to look?
    Thank You

    I have not continued to use the computer at all. I shut it down when I discovered the problem and have been using a different computer to access these boards.
    How did I end up with empty folders? I don't know, doesn't make sense to me. All I can tell you is what I did.
    First I moved the entire user folder from the small drive to the large drive. Then I spot checked folders and files inside the user folder hierarchy on the large drive.
    When everything appeard to be there, I deleted the user folder on the small drive and shut down the computer.
    Later, I discovered the empty folders on the large drive.
    So, after attempting data recovery, I probably will reinstall the system. That brings me to a whole new set of questions.
    How do I change where Safari, or FireFox writes the cache?
    How do I change where the OS X diskUtility save data in preparation to burn a disk?
    How do I install the system so that the system files and possibly the applications and utilites are on the small drive, but all data files, including the user folders and all cacheing files, are on the large drive?
    What data recovery and/or disk maintenance software do you recommend? ( I can't see the link you mentioned.)
    I'm familiar with Unix, but forget it underlies OS X. Else I might not have tried to just move the user folder.
    Thanks
    Thanks

  • Copied Files to External Hard drive and they are not available now..  where

    Please help!
    I have a G4 that had an original 20GB Hard drive. I installed a 60GB Hard drive. I was running OS 9 on the 20GB drive and OS X on the 60GB. I was working with a lot of video and pics and filled the 60GB drive, so I added an external 250GB drive.
    Recently, I received messages that my start up disk was almost full (60GB), so I moved my users file from the 60GB drive to the 250GB. The file size was 47ish GB and so I thought I would create some room. The move took approx. 40 mins as I copied the folder over to the 250GB drive. Once it was there I verified it only by it's size and once I saw that it existed on the 250, I trashed the users file from the 60GB drive and then emptied trash.
    I lost the icons and items on my desktop, however, desktop background remained the same. I cannot access anything that I opriginally had. The users file still has the same folders that it did, but they are now relatively empty. Each folder is approx. 50 kB in size but the users folder still exists as 47GB.
    If what I have explained makes sense, can someone help me to either copy back my users folder (I tried that, but the 60GB drive still says it is full) or suggest something else (And not that I am a fool, as I figured that one out already!)
    I ran Diskwarrior last night to verify the pathways etc. and everything is in order... I am lost... Please help if you can!
    Thanks!
    David

    Dear David,
    Did you move the entire "yourhomedirectory" name over to the 250 gig HD and then did you delete the entire "yourhomedirectory" file?
    From what I have read, OS X will always be looking for Desktop, Documents, Library, Movies, Music, etc under "yourhomedirectory". There is some way to tell the system that they are located somewhere else but it is kind of hard.
    When you mount the 250 gig drive do you see any of the files that you you moved over?
    What do you see when you log into the OS X volume. Are there any files for you to see.
    Not really sure what you did but let's see if we can get you fixed.

  • Moving media files to networked hard drive

    I just moved my media files to a hard drive connected to my time capsule. I thought I did it the way we're supposed to: specifying a new library location, and then organizing the library so that all of the files get copied to the new location. That worked fine, but when I start itunes (10) and do a command-I on a song, the file location is still the old one. I changed the directory name of the old media folder, and even moved the folder outside of the itunes folder, and every time I start itunes it still points to the old library. When I check my settings, the new library location is listed as the default library, but it seems as if the itunes library file is still looking for the old media folder. Anybody know what I'm doing wrong here? Thanks!

    I am having the same issue as well...

  • I moved itunes file to external hard drive and want to move the file on my pc to recycle bin. When I move i get an error message that it cannot delete ituneshelper.dll access is denied. Can I move that file to the recycle bin?

    I am trying to free up space on my pc and moving itunes files to external hard drive. I have followed instructions and believe I have file copied to new drive, but I am having trouble moving file to recycle bin as the instructions say. I am getting the following error message: cannot delete ituneshelper.dll:access denied, make sure disk is not full or write protected and file not in use. I know the file is not in use when trying to move. Any help would be most appreciated. I am on Windows XP.

    Yes. And you should not have moved that folder. Put it back. To move your iTunes library move the folder from User's Music.

  • Moved iTunes library to an ext hard drive to make space on my int drive... Followed steps from apple.  Now I cannot access my music... It says: "File could not be used because the original file cannot be found.  Would you like to locate it?"

    Moved iTunes library to an ext hard drive to make space on my int drive... Followed steps from apple.  Now I cannot access my music... It says: "File could not be used because the original file cannot be found.  Would you like to locate it?"
    I moved my iTunes library to my external hard drive some time ago and I followed the directions listed here on the apple support page.  It did copy my library and now is on my hard drive... I can open iTunes and use it to sync all of my devices but I would like to play my music... I can see all of my music files but can not play them if I click on an album or song it says the following:  "(file name) could not be used because the original file cannot be found.  Would you like to locate it?"  I click locate but do not know where to go from there?  I need a way to access all files and not to hunt down one at a time on my hard drive... I am pretty sure I deleted the original library to make space on my internal drive which was the reason for moving it.  I have tried and tried to fix it and do not have a lot of time to do so with a one and two year old at my house who do not like it whenI sit down at my computer.  What to do???  Any help is much appreciated!!!

    See Make a split library portable. Move all of the bits of the library together in the the correct shape and it should work. Or undo exactly what you did and then start over.
    If you're a former Windows user don't try merging two folders together that have the same name by dropping one into the same folders as the other, as that goes badly on a Mac.

  • How do I move some program files and redirect my user files from ssd C to drive E?

    Brand new HP Phoenix  h9-1183, Windows 7 64 bit SSD only 99.2 GB, data drive E: 2 TB.
    When tried to transfer files from old HP desktop to new Phoenix, I got the message that there was not enough space. When I took a closer look, I was surprised that only 99.0GB was assigned to the OS. I have been trying to figure out how to remove some of the programs that came with the computer (i.e. DVD Maker, Windows mail, Cyberlink Power DVd, Power2go etc.) from the C drive onto the E drive where there is more space. Also if I could move my library (documents, pictures, music, vide etc.) to E  drive that would give the OS drive more space for updates etc. I have been searching for the how to, but have discovered that the program files and user files which contain the library etc. should not be moved according to Microsoft and if they are they won't cover any service. Tried to contact them with my problem (and it seems this will become a bigger problem as more and more of the newer computers containing ssds are going this way with little space in the C: SSD) and I got the message to contact my computer manufacturer. Tried seeing on the HP help and support if there is a solution for this and saw nothing. So here I am with a new computer and I've spent a couple of weeks now trying to set things up and searching for a way to allow more hard drive space. I found this site ( http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kKTNmoq2zXI&feature=fvwrel) on how to move user files from C onto new drive, but it only works for 1 folder (I moved my video folder and then when I tried to move my pictures, it got messed up and I had to do a restore. There must be a simple way to fix this; otherwise this computer is useless. Thanks for any help or suggestions!!

    Hi,
    That's right, this is the installation process:
    C. Install and activate Norton Internet Security
    You can install and activate Norton from a CD or a downloaded file:If you do not want to join Norton Community Watch, uncheck the option. By default, this option is checked.
    Insert the CD into your computer's CD-ROM drive (if you are installing from a download, double-click the file you downloaded and proceed to step 2).
    Place a check in the box next to Norton Security Software, and click Next.
    When the installation is complete, find and open the Norton Security Software folder on your desktop.
    Double-click on the Install Norton Internet Security.exe icon to begin the installation.
    Click OK to begin the installation, or click Install Options to change where Norton installs, and then click Browse to locate the new location. ........
    Regards.
