I know how to move itunes music to my iTouch, but now it says...?

I know how to move iTunes music to my iTouch, but not it says that there isnt enough room on my iTouch for my music, so iTunes is going to copy as many files as possible...so, to get space do I erase some of my pictures? Becaus I did, but the same thing popped up.

Move the iTunes library to a shared area and then into the desired location. If this isn’t the default one, launch iTunes with the Shift key held down and choose that library.

or what could i do

There are two solutions . . . I run my iTunes Library off an external hard drive. However, this may limit the portability of your library. Though a La Cie Rugged external would help with that (I love mine, though I use it for diagnostics and repair, not for iTunes--but it does get around).
You can also upgrade your hard drive as was previously suggested. I've bought my recent hardware from: http://www.powerbookmedic.com
They have lots of parts and great manuals!
Good luck!

How to move iTunes from a PC to a MAC when files are in a network drive

Warning! This is my first experience with a MAC!!!
All right, I am one of those guys who has been working with PCs since the beginning of times, but my wife finally convinced me to try a MAC. So far, so good (all right, I admit it...I kind of like it...) but I need some help with my Itunes library.
I had itunes setup in a network drive when using my PC. The Network drive and folder were Z:\Music\iTunes.
I want to use iTunes with my MAC now. I do not want to change the location of the files in my external drive.
I have managed to view the external hard drive folders with the MAC. However, the name of the folder is different "WORKGROUP;WD-NETCENTER/music/iTunes" when I look at the folder info.
What do I need to do to make this work?
Thanks in advance!

How to move itunes library from PC to mac

im getting a iMac intel core duo 17" very soon. I currently have my 1,750 song iTunes library on my PC. to move my library, should I connect the computers with a cable? then do the same thing as moving the library with an iPod? (except for the ipod part)
thanks

Hey all,
I haven't been on this section of the apple site for a while. I sadly took a job at a school where they use pcs.
Anyway I thought I could help.
I've transfer full music folders from two computers many times but never a library from a pc to a mac. Let me explain the difference.
The folder that holds all your music only holds your music. IE on mac (osx) its ~/Music/iTunes Library/Music
and on a pc (windows 2000 and newer) its in
/Documents and Settings/user name/My Music/iTunes/Music
The "Library" is the thing that keeps tracksof your albums. I belive this file is in XML format and should work the same on both a pc and mac.
Anyway, this is how you transfer the whole thing from one machien to the other over a network.
It is best if you wire them together. Proccess goes much faster.
On the mac we must first turn it into a server that the pc can talk to
When you are logged in as an administrator on the mac go to the apple menu > system prefernces
click on sharing
enable windows sharing. You may also need to enable an account to connect with. I recomend that you enable the user who gets the music. ( i can clerify this if requested [email protected])
Ok then on the PC
go to the start menu > run
type in your macs ip address or name
it should look something like this \\192.168.1.2
then clock ok, wait a bit and eventualy it will ask for a username and a password. Use them name and pass for the user you enabled in the sharing control panel step
then you will see a window with your users folder in it.open it and navigate to the Music folder.
I hope that you havent loaded anymsuic on that user gets trickeier if you did and you may not be able to keep your albums. I can expalin this too in greater detail later.
So you have one window that shows the content of your mac and ist user.
Now we need to go get the documents out of the pc.
Open the "My Documenst" fodlder on the desktop and open my msuic. within it you will find an iTunes folder just like the one on the mac. replace the one on the windows machine with the one on the mac and let it copy. Dont let either machine sleep or you might have to do it again.
Anyway. I hope this helps. I see they now have added browny points to peoples posts. And I was just happy helping people switch.
Anyway now to find a solution to my problem cheers

How to move iTunes library from C-drive to D-drive

I'm a Mac guy, but my wife has a PC running XP Home & iTunes 7.1.1.5. At this point, everything works fine. I thought I'd better ask this question BEFORE I did something stupid.
I've noticed that the C-drive has most (not all) of the apps on it and is only partitioned to give 14GB, whereas the D-drive has ten times that much. The system shows me that most of the C-drive space is used (only 15% free space remaining), so I thought it'd be a good idea to move iTunes to the D-drive before she goes crazy ripping her whole CD collection. Seems silly to not use the space!
I've seen enough horror stories about people's mishaps with their iTunes Library to not take this idea lightly.
How do I keep everything on the same computer, but move the app & the Lbrary to the D-drive?? BTW, I have not yet used the "Consolidate Library" feature... is that good or bad?
Thanks in advance!
Windows XP

First of all I still don't know how to post a question. There is nothing in here that asks me to do so. Therefore I can only reply to one already asked. My problem is that I followed the instructions in iTunes which tell me how to move the files from the C Drive to another location (which happens to be my D Drive). After doing that it then tells me to drag the old files into the recycle bin, however, it won't comply and tells me that the procedure can't be performed because of copywrite protections. Where do I go from here? Or at the very least, how do I post a question in this forum the normal way?

Please help with updated info how to Move iTunes 10.5.2 to a new MacBook Pro

With Christmas fast approaching, and new MAC computers being left under the tree, I would find it helpful for an update as to how best to move my son's iTunes library from my iMac (late 2011 version with Lion) which he is sharing to his new MacBook Pro (Early 2011 with Lion upgrade) . There is a lot of old information floating around on how to do this with prior versions of iTunes, but with iCloud and Apps now in the cloud I would like someone knowledgeable to update me and the community with the best way to do this for the latest versions of iTunes running on Lion. He also has his iPhone 4 synched with his account on my iMac and would like to deauthorize his iTunes on my iMac and have him sync on his new computer as well. I know it is probably hidden among the forums somewhere, but with a lot of people upgrading to new computers, it would be helpful for a refresher on this thread. Thanks!

PC Mac: How to move "saved photos" album?

I am moving my iTunes library from my PC onto my MBP and I need help on moving my ENTIRE iPod touch's content off its iTunes onto my Mac. I have done the songs/apps/podcasts via the "Share" option.
Anyways, I want to sync my iPod Touch w/ my MBP's iTunes asap and just need help so the pictures (from the "saved photos" section transfer over as is; I have over 6200 of them, ahem.
Unless, of course, the "saved photos" album stays the same even if you switch to another iTunes or would it get erased when synced to a new library? I HATE ITUNES FOR THIS VERY REASON. They need to come up w/ a more efficient to transfer iTunes-to-iTunes, the hassle is way too much.
I would love if anyone has better ideas on how to switch iPod touch content over from a PC iTunes to a Mac iTunes.

To move iTunes from Windows to Mac see here

Photos on your Touch don't sync with iTunes but with photo programs such as iphoto or Photoshop elements. If you've never done this then photos saved on your iPod are only on your iPod. iTunes will backup your iPod, including your photos, when you sync with iTunes but you won't be able to browse them on your computer this way.
If you've moved over your entire iTunes library as mentioned above then you will be able to continue syncing and backing up your iPod with it as normal.

Manually migrating to new Mac: how to move iOS Apps

I am doing a manual migration from my old Mac to my new Air.
I understand (I think) how to move my itunes Music Library).
However, I don’t know how to move all of my iOS apps (some of which are installed on my iPad and iPhone and some of which aren't).
Thanks for your help!

I'm no expert on the iTunes library situation, I'll leave that for others.
I can help on the Aperture move. There are two possible answers.
If you have a Managed Library (all the Masters are inside the library), the job is easy. Just go to Finder and drag and drop it to the new location.
If any of your Masters are "Referenced Masters" (that is they live outside the Aperture Library), then you still move the Library as above, but DO NOT USE FINDER TO MOVE THE MASTERS!
You MUST use Aperture's "Relocate Masters" function to do the move of the Masters. If you move them using Finder, Aperture gets all confused, and while it is possible to straighten the mess out, it's not fun.
Most people have a "Managed Library", so it's probably very simple.
To tell if you have "Referenced Masters", go into Browser and select 'Photos" in the Library Inspector, click on one image and select all images (Command-a).
Then choose "Locate Referenced Files..." in the File menu. If it says "No Referenced Files", you have your answer - it's a totally "Managed" Library, so drag and drop it.
If you have got Referenced Masters and need help, post back.
Hope this helps

Photoshop elements 8 for Mac - how to move photos (events) from iphoto to pse

I have figured out how to move one photo over through opening a file. But I can't move a full event or album from iphoto. Ive tried going to bridge but when i click on the iphoto folder, it takes me into my iphoto and I'm not sure what do then, no buttons or anything that seems to connect to PSE. Any help would be appreciated! I wish Adobe supported this product better for Mac users. Maybe they read these discussions?

Hi,
Are you opening iPhoto files from within Photoshop Elements? You can open all the files in an iPhoto event into PSE8 through a single click.
In Photoshop Elements, go to File menu > Open. In the browser window that appears, click Photos under Media in the sidebar. Now, you should be able to see iPhoto with all its events. When you click on an event and "Open" it, you should get all the photos of that event in the project bin.
Is this the problem being asked?
Thanks.

How to move iTunes Library to new computer

I am selling my imac and getting a retina mbp, but the imac will be gone before I can get the new one. So, I need to move all my music from the imac onto an external hard drive to import later.

What other ways are there/are they easier? Thanks.
