Moving my "My Documents" file, in its entirety, to new hard drive

I've asked this before, and I have received responses, but I think I'd better ask again before I do it, because it seems iTunes and iPod are so user unfriendly that I could lose everything I have in the process.
I just bought an external hard drive because my C drive is nearly full. I want to move my ENTIRE My Documents folder (which is very large due to music, photos and videos) from the C drive into this new hard drive (my H drive.) I was led to an Apple web site that supposedly tells me how do this, but at the end, the directions say, "After the folder has been copied, locate your original iTunes Music folder, and drag it to the Trash or Recycle Bin. Note: Don't remove the iTunes 4 Music Library files that may be in the same location as the iTunes Music folder." I assume those two files are the ones called "iTunes Library" and "iTunes Music Library", right? I don't know what the "4" means on the instructions. Now, does that mean that I cannot move my entire My Documents file onto the new external drive, just because this folder has to remain in the same site? The presence of these 2 files require that My Documents stays in my C drive? I just find that hard to believe. As you can tell, I am lost. Can I just drag and drop the entire My Documents folder from my C drive to my new H drive, and then somehow tell iTunes where everything is?
Thanks in advance.

The default location is c:\Documents and Settings\username\My Documents\My Music\iTunes. If you were to move the library files and the iTunes program was unable to locate your library it would attempt to create an new blank library file in that location as long as you haven't moved anything else. If your songs are on another drive they won't be affected but iTunes won't know where they are. If you follow the instructions for moving your iTunes Music folder in the Apple guide you should have no problems. I keep my iTunes Music folder on a second internal drive and used the article. The move went without a hitch. I used the same article you were using before I believe: Moving your iTunes Music Folder

  • Problems "transferring" files from time machine to new hard drive

    I was experieincing the spinning beach ball of death so I replaced my hard drive with a new one.  I am running mountain lion (10.8.2) and the new Hard drive has two partions - one for "start up" which I was able to use migration assisant to move over my applications from my time machine.  The problem I am having is that I can't figure out how to get my user account data transferred to my the data partition (journal extended) on my new hard drive.
    When I enter time machine I can't "see" my last back updates before I changed hard drives. 
    I put my old hard drive in a case and it "isn't working" so I can't just copy data from my old hard drive.  It did work initially but now it doesn't mount and I can't see it in disk utility.
    Any Ideas on how I can get my user data off my time machine back up?
    I forgot to mention that when I go into my external hard drive containing my time machine via finder and click on the folder with my user data I'm not able to open the various files - they have a red "-" and it says, The folder “Desktop” can’t be opened because you don’t have permission to see its contents.  In disk utility I can't run repair disk permision on my time machine drive because it is grayed out.
    Thanks - Dave

    I see. Don't do that. I do not believe using Migration Assistant is a valid method of accomplishing what you intend.
    Furthermore, unless you are using the "Enter Time Machine" feature, you really shouldn't pick and choose what you want to copy from a Time Machine backup... "no user serviceable parts inside". You can certainly find and individual files and folders in the Finder, but you will run into the permissions problems you describle. I would not attempt to circumvent those protections.
    As I understand Time Machine, you must either restore a volume from a Time Machine backup, thereby erasing the volume first, or restore individual files and folders by using "Enter Time Machine" when the backup has already been properly designated for the source.
    Since your replacement hard disk - the source, now - is technically new, the latter is not an option. It's as if you were trying to restore to a different computer. This can't be done.

  • Old user files magically show up on new hard drive with 10.6 installed.

    My daughters' hard drive crashed and we never backed up any of her files anywhere. She was running 10.4 on that drive. I installed a new unformatted drive and installed 10.6. When everything was up and running, she showed me a good portion of all her old music, and other files created with iWork, on the crashed drive, were on the computer with the new drive. I did not install any of these files and she didn't either. There was no time machine installed on the old drive so there was no backup files installed during the 10.6 install.
    So my question is; Where were these old files at and how did they magically show up on the new hard drive? Were they saved somewhere on a non volatile memory chip? They seem to be old versions of files she had saved on the old crashed hard drive.
    Thanks

    If by "new PC" you mean a Windows based machine you do not want to format the drive for Mac because Windows cannot read Mac formatted drives (not without extra utilities). I'm running an older system so I'm not as up on the capabilities of Snow Leopard. For PC use you will want NTFS or FAT32 format except Macs cannot write to NTFS without extra utilities (not sure if this has changed with newer OS)... I just use FAT format for compatibility with PCs (on my flash drive).

  • If I have manually set "Start Time" and "Stop Time" for songs, and my hard drive is backed up in Time Machine, when files/songs are transferred on new hard drive, will my "Start Time" "Stop Time" options be there?

    My Macbook Pro will be going in for reimaging and my hard drive will be wiped, I want to know if all my iTunes preferences will be copied if I have backed them up on Time Machine. Specifically, if I have set certain "Start Time" and "Stop Time" for my songs, and I copy my iTunes library, will these "Start Time" and "Stop Time" options remain or will I have to manually set them one by one once again? I need a reply ASAP! Thanks so much!

    As far as I'm aware the start & stop times are stored in the library database, not the media files. If you backup/restore/transfer the whole library then the settings are included. If you create a complete copy of your iTunes folder on another drive you can connect to that copy by holding down option/alt as you start iTunes so you can check that everything is working properly before you send the Macbook away.

  • Transferring from time machine onto my mac after its had a new hard drive installed.

    I have a new hard drive in my iMac, using Mavericks 10.9.5.
    I would like to restore from Time Machine, all my info.
    The Apple video "Time Machine Basics"  talks about "migrating to a new mac"  and this is straightforward, but I already have logged into my new mac! I don't have the option to migrate.
    How do I go back into Time Capsule for the first time?
    If I just open Time Machine and start backing up my "empty new hard drive" onto the Time Capsule which contains the saved info from before, will I then be able to then just go back to the previous saved dates? Does that make sense?

    Thank you, that makes sense, however, I've only just realised that I'm logged onto the new Hard Drive as "Test".
    When I plugged it in, and turned it on, it just opened up like that, without me needing to log in as 'me' yet?
    Is this ok, and the best option  to do as you suggest?

  • Help.......I moved my LR5 catalog to a new hard drive and lost my COLLECTIONS

    I moved my LR5 catalog to a new hard drive and lost my COLLECTIONS.  In the collections i get the messageI then locate the file in the new drive :
    i locate the file and receive this message
    How can i get the Collection to redirect to the new location??   I have about  a LOT of missing pics in Collections. 
    Thank you!  Jamie

    Thank your for responding.......
    To clarify....I moved LIGHTROOM to a new hard drive....including 1) Working catalogs, 2) Working exports, and 3) Working Originals.  I now know i did not follow correct procedure for "moving a catalog".  I dragged  it to the new hard drive. Yikes!!
    (I was at Imaging last week and spoke to Julianne Kost, she recommended that i use the FIND link....but this gave me the same result as i am speaking about above.)
    To Clarify......The Collections are listed. The target path to the images did not change when i moved to the new hard drive.
    There is an exclamation point in the right hand corner of the images in each collection.  When i click on the exclamation mark i get the message....."“JK_120214_7782.NEF” could not be used because the original file could not be found. Would you like to locate it?"  I then locate the file IN THE NEW current DRIVE...at which time i click on it and i receive the message.....
    this file is associated with another photo in the catalog.... each file can only be associated with one photo.  Then if i choose to show in library....it points to the image in the FOLDER  tab...which is in fact where the image is located. 
    Up to this point, when i need one of these older collections i have had to recreate.  i have manually gone to the original.....in the FOLDER tab, found the image and added to the Collections again.  Then i go back and delete all the files with the ! ......a long and tedious task.  I was hoping there was an easier way to recreate my "collections".
    Initially i was going to just MOVE the entire library again ( the correct way) ....which i should've done i believe.  Now i have imported more jobs and have created additional collections , so i'd love to find a short cut!
    I hope this is a bit more clear!!
    Thank you.

  • I moved iTunes and library to new Hard drive M: , now Sync is lost. Need to collect files and rebuild to proper folder.

    I installed a new hard drive and partitioned it into 2, P: Pictures: and M: Music: . I moved all my iTunes Files and Folders to the M: drive. Then when I connected my iPhone4 to iTunes it asked if I wanted to create a new sync, I said no but I seemed it couldn't find my old sync file. So I searched my computer for files and folders of iTunes and placed them all into a iTunes folder on the root of M: drive. I need to rebuild the iTunes folder correctly.
    I have all the correct items on my iPhone and haven't lost anything. Its just a problem trying to sync. Biggest problem is my music. When I try to sync music there is trouble. I can't seen to remove all music from iPhone and resync. When I thought I did iTunes would say no more music will fit. (Music is normally 70% of my memory on phone and I try and leave 1GB of 16GB free on it).
    I wan't to build the iTunes install on the D:\Program Files (x64)\  since I don't install anything on my SSD drive C: except Windows 7.

    How exactly did you move the files or more specifically, what did you move?
    The correct way to move the iTunes files is to move the ENTIRE iTunes folder (or copy it) from the original location to the new location.
    Once moved, hold Shift while launching iTunes and point it to the new location.
    If anything other than the ENTIRE iTunes folder was moved, it needs to be put back in the original location to correct the issues created then moved correctly.

  • Have found multiple iTunes Library.xml files. Moved Library to new Hard Drive and it needs to be completely rebuilt?

    Hello. I have a Mac Mini operating Mac OS X 10.7.2. I recently had to move my iTunes Library to a new hard drive. I followed the directions on how to move the library and refind everything yet when I do so what comes up is a mere skeleton of what I had. I have had to hunt down my purchased Apps, Music and Movies and re-add them to the library. I also noticed in doing this I have multiple iTunes Library.xml files ... shouldn't there only be one?  If so how do I clean this up without doing any accidental damage (i.e. how do I find the one that is being used and delete the rest?)?  If I delete the others is there any risk of losing purchased content? Lastly syncing my iPads has become a nightmare as I get the "This iPad is currently synced to another iTunes library" message. Obviously something

    It's hard for me to picture the exact situation. It sounds like you still have your library file on the internal but some files on the external, and maybe some on the internal, some of which are in the library and others not...  By re-adding things after consolidating it may have made things into a hodge-podge. Yes, that article you referenced says: "iTunes for Mac: Moving your iTunes Media folder"with Media Folder being the emphasis.  You probably should have just moved your whole iTunes folder.  Still, moving the media folder as instructed should not have messed up the library.  Did you make the mistake of starting up iTunes before the external drive had mounted fully and it then told you it couldn't find many files?  How you proceed to sort it out will depend upon how much time you want to spend and how important things such as ratings and playcount are to you.  I have not actually used the consolidate feature across different drives myself (and don't feel inclined to do so here to test ).
    If you are in the USA you can download some previous purhcases with iCloud, but not all.
    Here's a bit on what an iTunes folder should look like:
    What are the iTunes library files? - [http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1660]
    More on iTunes library files and what they do - [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ITunes#Media_management]
    Library files with graphic and explanation of different iTunes versions - http://discussions.apple.com/message.jspa?messageID=13169517
    Once you get iTunes working off the external drive it should just put new media to the external when you add it.
    I have almost no experience with synching (I synched my neice's iPod, once, about 4 years ago).

    "When I tried to reload those folders onto FCP nothing happened"
    Brownale6 how can  u reload folder in to FCP.
    As you said folders are moved to external disk but have you checked it should be like this
    For Event
    external disk>Final Cut Events>your event folder.  
    For project
    external disk>Final Cut Projects>your project folder.

    From System Preferences/Help:
    Reset your login password using your Apple ID
    Before you can use your Apple ID to reset your login password, make sure that FileVault isn’t enabled on your computer.
    Also make sure that an Apple ID is associated with your user account, and that an administrator has given you permission to reset your own password using an Apple ID. For more information, see this help topic:
    Associate Apple IDs with your user account
    Make sure your computer is connected to the Internet.
    In the login window, click the question mark in the password field, and then click the arrow in the dialog that appears.
    Enter an Apple ID and password, and then click Reset Password.
    I don't know if it works.

  • Help Please with moving files from an External HD to a New Hard Drive

    OK My Powermac MDD's Hard Drive Needs Replacing, but before I replace it I was told to buy Super Duper software and backup my hard drive and the applications onto an external Hard Drive. I am going to go and buy another external Hard Drive tomorrow and do this, but I have a few questions...
    What do I need to do to do this successfully? Please explain in the simplest of terms.
    Here's the steps as far as I understand. Please correct where necessary.
    1. Buy an external HD like an LaCie for example.
    2. Attach the LaCie external Hard Drive to my mac. *What Do I need to do to set it up to use with Super Duper? Please explain this in detail if possible as it is really confusing me how to set up my external LaCie Hard Drive so I can move my Files to it using Super Duper and then put the files back onto a new Hard Drive!*
    I've read I need to be able to "boot from the External Hard Drive" after I copy my files there using Super Duper. What do they mean by booting from the hard drive?
    Do I need to "format" my new LaCie Hard Drive?
    What do I use to format the LaCie Hard Drive? I think the last time I didn't have to do anything, when I used my external Hard Drive for storage only, but do I have to do something special now that I want to copy my whole hard Drive from the LaCe external back ont a "New" G4 Hard Drive?
    3. Buy or Download "Super Duper" software to copy all of the contents of my Hard Drive to the LaCie external Hard Drive. Does anyone know if the demo will do this or do I need the advanced features?

    Thanks Japamac, Wel this is a very lengthy reply so forgive me but I feel like I am getting close to understanding this so please bear with me. Thanks! Well I see I have 2 options that both sound viable. I ran disc utility and under S.M.A.R.T. it said: Failure. The only application I can't open is Safari and the drive is still turning properly and semi-reliable though, so I may be alright to clone still. There is stil the issue of errors though. If there are errors I agree with you I don't want to copy themm over to a new drive but can I not run disc utility after I copy verything over to the new drive?
    My reason for wanting to use Super Duper is that I have about 23 applications that all have different serial no's etc. and to reinstall all of these would take a considerable amount of time, so that's why I was wanting to use SD, but if "Migrate Assistant" will copy over applications like Photoshop, Mail and other applications then I think that might be a lot better because my install would be a lot cleaner and I could only install what I needed. What do you think?
    It looks like "Migration Assistant" only comes with Tiger. This throws a wrench into things. What would you do? Would you buy Tiger or just use Super Duper etc. Can I install Tiger onto my external Hard Drive only and then use "Migration Assistant" to transfer files over even if my Hard Drive only uses Panther? Sorry for all the questions but I see there are a few ways to do this and I want to use the method that will work best. : )
    So if i use Migrate Assistant do I need to copy over my system preferences too? I think if I copy my applications they will create new preferences when launched won't they. Also would all of my "Mail" information be copied over using "Migrate Assistant"
    Method #1 (Using Super Duper)
    1) Install the external HD and format it using "Disc Utility"
    2) Run "Super Duper" and clone my hard Drive to the external Drive.
    3) Disconnect the external Hard Drive
    4) Disconnect the computer and install the new hard drive
    5) Reconnect the external Hard Drive and Run "Super Duper" and transfer the information back to the new hard drive.
    6) Run Disc Utility and fix any errors.
    7) "Erase" the contents from the external Hard Drive
    8) Done!
    Method #2 (Using Migrate Assistant)
    1) Use the mac G4 discs and select the "External Hard Drive" and Install the OS from the install disc directly to the "External Hard Drive".
    2) Then use my Panther discs and select the "External Hard Drive" and install Panther to the "External Hard Drive".
    3) Go into "Preferences" and select "External Hard Drive" as my "Startup Disc" so it will "boot" to the "External Hard Drive".
    4) Use "Migrate Assistant" to migrate or transfer only software applications (Photoshop. Mail, Address Book etc.) from the "old" hard drive to the "External Hard Drive".
    5) Disconnect the external Hard Drive
    6) Disconnect the computer and install the new hard drive
    7) Reconnect the external Hard Drive and Run "Super Duper" and transfer the information back to the new hard drive.
    8) no need to run Disc utility as it's like a clean install.
    9) "Erase" the contents from the external Hard Drive
    10) Done!
    Please tell me if I have missed a step or if a step is incorrect in the above 2 methods.
    Q) I can't find my G4 install discs, can I use my Panther install discs instead?
    Q) Does "Migrate Assistant" come with Panther or does it only come with the mac install discs?
    Q) Will "Migrate Assistant" copy over my "Mail" application and it's setting or do I need to totally reinstall that?
    Q) How long does "Migrate Assistant" take to transfer vs.. Super Duper?

  • Photo files moved to new hard drive, need to re-connect photo tagging

    Moved back catalog of photos from an almost full internal hard drive to a new larger external hard drive.
    Elements Organizer is now unable to locate tagged photos on the new hard drive
    Is it possible to re-connect the photo tagging ?

    If you can go back and do a PSE backup/restore that would be your best and easiest approach.

  • ITunes moved to a new hard drive, now acting like a newly installed program

    I just moved my ITunes to an external hard drive and followed all the directions to do so (did a google search and it lead me to this site where I followed the instructions outlined). Now ITunes won't work, it won't access any music whatsoever. In fact when I open ITunes it's appearance is that of the freshly installed program and no songs at all come up under music
    I decided I had to have the space because I only have an 80 GB drive (C) and my music files occupy 52 GB of that (ITunes accounts for 2/3 of that 52GB total for some strange reason)
    The new hard drive (F) is an HP Simple Save and that program backed up all my C drive information (including ITunes).
    Then I followed the instructions I found on this site. I went in, identified the new folder, consolidated the files and nothing. When I restarted ITunes I got the screen above
    So I tried putting ITunes back on the C drive and reset ITunes using the reset button under "Edit, Preferences, Advanced" and that still doesn't work. Not to mention I now have ITunes buried under a mountain of sub folders
    I am at my wits end with ITunes. My first IPod was a gift (my seond I had to buy after washing my first)  but ITunes has been nothing but trouble the whole time and now this!!!!!!!
    Can someone please help me????????????? I like my IPod, I on't want to have to get rid of it and buy an MP3 player that works with Windows

    My Library files are still on the C drive as the instructions said to leave them there
    While it is implied that I can move ITunes music files off my C drive to make more space

    In fact I now see that ITunes Help seems to suggest something different. I got here by pressing the question mark while in the pop up box for "Edit, Preferences, Advanced"
    Quote:
    "By default, songs and other files you import into iTunes are placed here:
    My Documents/My Music/iTunes/iTunes Media
    Hide
    To change the default location of imported files:
    Choose Edit > Preferences, and click Advanced.
    Click Change and select a new location for your files.
    From now on, new songs and other items you import are stored in the new location. Songs you’ve already imported stay in their current location. (emphasis mine)
    To restore the iTunes Media folder as the default storage location, click Reset (in the Advanced pane of iTunes preferences)."

  • I have a new hard drive as my old one crashed. Everything seemed to transfer fine except for my entire iTunes library. It shows all of my old songs, but when I click on one it states "the song could not be used as the original file could not be found

    I have a new hard drive as my old one crashed. Everything seemed to transfer fine except for my entire iTunes library. It shows all of my old songs, but when I click on one it states "the song could not be used as the original file could not be found.would you like to locate it".
    Either how do I locate it, and I've tried every trick I know, or how do I restore all of my songs from one of two sources. I have my old hard drive backedup on an external drive which should have all of my songs, and I have most of my songs on my old iPhone 3S which I'm using as a backup iPod.

    The "missing file" error happens if the file is no longer where iTunes expects to find it. Possible causes are that you or some third party tool has moved, renamed or deleted the file, one of its parent folders, or the drive it lives on has had a change of drive letter. It is also possible that iTunes has changed from expecting the files to be in the pre-iTunes 9 layout to post-iTunes 9 layout, or vice-versa, and so is looking in slightly the wrong place. In the case of a library moved from one system to another there are also potential permissions issues. See Repair security permissions for iTunes for Windows.
    Select a track with an exclamation mark, use Ctrl-I to Get Info, then click No when asked to try to locate the track. (Due to a bug in iTunes 12 you currently have to say No twice!) Look on the summary tab for the location that iTunes thinks the file should be. Now take a look around your hard drive(s). Hopefully you can locate the track in question. If a section of your library has simply been moved, a folder renamed, or a drive letter has changed, it should be possible to reverse the actions. If the difference between the two paths is an additional Music folder in one path then this is a layout issue. I can explain further if that is the case.
    In some cases iTunes may be able to repair itself if you go through the same steps with Get Info but this time click Locate and browse to the lost track. It may then offer to attempt to automatically fix other broken links.
    If another application like Windows Media Player has moved/renamed the files then the chances are that subtle differences in naming strategies will make it hard to restore the media to the precise path that iTunes is expecting. In such cases, as long as the missing files can be found somewhere, you should be able to use my FindTracks script to reconnect them to iTunes. See this post for an explanation of how it works.
