My laptop hard drive is full, I want to redirect my ipad backup sync to a seagate external drive. How do I change the drive location

how to change the drive in my laptop for backup syncing with iTunes?

If you want to change where your backups are stored then you can't do it directly in iTunes, that will use your main drive for backups. But if you are using windows then see if this post from turingtest2 helps : https://discussions.apple.com/message/22283073#22283073

dave0915,
iTunes stores your iPhone backups in the Library folder in your Home folder.
iTunes places the backup files in these places:
Mac: ~/Library/Application Support/MobileSync/Backup/
Create and delete iPhone, iPad, and iPod touch backups in iTunes

I am having this problem. At first with the new iPhone 5, and then with the iPad 2. I am not sure why this is happening.
My gut feeling is this is an iO6 issue and here's why -
The problem mainly occurs with apps. I have about 150 apps, and when I plugged in the phone, iTunes went to sync all of them. The process would hang up after about 20 - 30 apps were loaded onto the phone. I could tell where about the process hung up because the apps on the phone showed up as "waiting".
Then on the iPad 2 I plugged in to sync and saw there was a huge "Other" component in my storage. It required me to restore the iPad 2 from backup. With this restore the same issues occurred - putting the apps back on the iPad would hang up. The videos on the iPad also got stuck - maybe after about 10 hours of videos transfered iTunes crashed.
My solution has been to soft reset the device, restart Windows, and continue the process until it's complete. This is remarkably inefficient and time-intensive but everything works with patience.
I have been wondering if others have had these same problems.

HT1926 How do I change the drive location of where the iTunes update is downloaded to??

I had my iTunes set up to download to an E drive, I now want to change the location to my C drive but I can't find where to change it. So now when I try to download any updates, it won't work because it is looking for iTunes in my E drive not C.... Please help!!!

In Safari, you can direct downloads to any location you select. Click Safari in the menu bar and select Preferences. In General, you see this:

How do I change the drive on which PSE 10 stores its preferences?

My Learning Center uses a program which throws away all changes on the system drive every night. I want to change where the preferences are stored so that they will not be lost every night. Can I do that?

You're in the wrong forum.
You want the Photoshop Elements forum.

iPhone Backup Location for Windows 7, XP, and Vista
Windows XP stores all of your iPhone backup files in this location:
C:\Documents and Settings\user\Application Data\Apple Computer\MobileSync\Backup
Windows Vista and Windows 7 backs up the iPhone files to here:
C:\Users\user\AppData\Roaming\Apple Computer\MobileSync\Backup
Obviously if your main drive is not C: then you’ll have to change that, same goes for ‘user’

How can I change the drive updates install to?

The updater pushes for C, but C is my dedicated SSD OS drive, and there's no way I'm installing anything else there. CS6 is installed in F.

The updates will properly be applied to your apps on F:. The temporary downloads will respect your settings for your user folders and temp folders, but if you haven't changed them, then they will default to C: no matter what - like Windows temp files, caches and otehr stuff, so in fact you are possibly trying to prevent something that happens under your nose every day already. Check your system varaibles and group policies.

I originally told a site to download with FireFox but after seeing it was opening over 2o0 tabs (it's my homework site) I decided I wanted to change the download location to Documents. How do I change the download location?

I went to www.labyrinthelab.com/oe10. This is my homework site. I clicked on download student exercise files and it asked if I wanted to open with Explorer. I said no Firefox. But it opens right around 200 files. I'm not sure of the exact amount because I stopped the download at 165.
I decided that was ridiculous and that it should download and save to my documents. I don't know how to change this.

Direct Download Links for Adobe Software

When I open a PDF, I want to choose from 3 applications, not just 2 plus other. How can I change the number of recent applications that get listed for opening a file type?

I'd like firefox to remember the 3 most recently used applications per file type, not just the most recent 2.

On my Windows 7, with any browser, all downloaded files go into the Downloads folder.
If you can't find your downloaded PDF docs, try a search for *.pdf

I want to use my iPad with a projector using apple tv. How do I homeshare if the iPad cannot access itunes when away from home?

I want to use my iPad to give presentations using Apple TV. How do I get the two to homeshare so that they "talk" to one another. Instructions say use iTunes but I am getting very confused over why this is necessary when all I want to do is link 2 pieces of equipment without having to use wi-fi.! Wi-fi won't be available at the locations where I have to give presentations. Help!

Thanks Dave. There is still a problem. The iPad will only stream to the projector whilst connected to Wi-fi. The icon disappears from "iPod" on the iPad (the only place it appears, not iTunes as the instructions say) once Wi-fi is disconnected. Only audio will stream, no icon appears in the drop-down menu to show that pictures will go over. The outcome of courrse is that, as it stands, the iPad cannot be used for presntations using Keynote, neither can it be used in a location without Wi-fi, which rather defeats the object of have having bought the equipment in the first place having been assured that with Apple TV it would be possible. Is there anything else I can try? I would add that I have downloaded any available updates to Apple TV. All itmes were bought 3 weeks ago so should be reasonably up to date anyway.

I want to take files from my PC (using a Seagate external hard drive) then plug this Seagate External hard drive into my Mac Book Pro and move the files from the Seagate External Hard drive onto my Time Capsule. I do not want to put these files on my Mac

I want to take files from my PC (using a Seagate external hard drive) then plug this Seagate External hard drive into my Mac Book Pro and move the files from the Seagate External Hard drive onto my Time Capsule. I do not want to put these files on my Mac. How do I do this? Where do I put these files on my Time Capsule? Will it affect the functioning of my Time Capsule?

Mixing files with data is not always great idea.
See info here.
Q3 http://pondini.org/TM/Time_Capsule.html
Why not just connect the PC directly to the TC by ethernet and copy the files over?
It is hugely faster and much less mucking around.
In windows load the airport utility for windows.. if you have not already as this will help you access the drive.
There is more info here.

I am trying to burn CDs to an external hard drive to conserve space on our laptop. When I change the file location it says the folder on the external drive is invalid. Am I missing a step?

I am trying to burn CDs to an external hard drive to conserve space on our laptop. When I change the file location it says the destination folder on the external drive is invalid. Am I missing a step?

It does, but that's definitely strange. Try showing all hidden files and folders on your Mac to see if that helps.
To do this, head to Applications -> Utilties -> Terminal and type:
defaults write com.apple.finder AppleShowAllFiles TRUE -> Press Enter
killall Finder -> Press Enter
Then navigate out to your iPod again via the Finder. Any luck now?
