I used to have a NAS (Net attached storage) and i switched to a Seagate 1TB external harddrive, I copied the whole Itunes library, program etc...and it runs but it is 7.6 version so it would not identify my ipod until i updated the software, so i go to update, download the update and go to do the update and I get a error message that it cant locate //nas/disk1 the old destination...I went so far as to delete itunes and Quicktime and redownload itunes 8.1 so i go to install it and it is still looking for //nas/disk1 now i have a folder with 375gb of music and movies and no program to run it.... I try to go into control panel add/delete programs and itunes is still in there so i go to delete and I get a error message that it cant delete it because it cant find //nas/disk1...*** I need help Please someone tell me what i have to do to I was able to delete quicktime but it still shows itunes and it will not let me install itunes...i did a search through the computer and ther are no files for itunes so i do not know why it is still trying to locate it from there....HELP

Hi,
The reason that you are getting the ! is because iTunes is still looking for the music on your external hard drive.
You need to create a new library iTunes: How to open an alternate iTunes Library file or create a new one
Now turn on iTunes Match and select add this computer. You will now see all your music in the cloud. When you want to add new music, revert to the original library on your external hard drive.

Moved files to 'F-drive', but iTunes playlists still looking for 'D-drive'

I've just reconfigured my hard drives and moved my iTunes folder to my F-drive. All of my playlists are still looking for teh old D-drive.
Is teher a way of modifying the playlist files?
Thanks,
Steven Lyall

I've had this problem too. Only way I know is either use smart play lists or rebuild your play lists from scratch
If anybody else has a solution or a program that can resolve this it would be great.

Moved Music from C to D drive, but iTunes is still on C - Please Help

I moved my music from C to D drive to create more space, but the actual iTunes program is still on C drive and won't pickup the music or my library located on D drive. I changed the advance setting on music folders to D drive in iTunes, but I must be missing something. Please help...so frustrated.
Christie

then I deleted the iTunes music folder from C drive.
Are you sure you deleted ONLY the *iTunes music folder*?
I opened iTunes under my programs and it was blank. Am I doing something wrong? Sorry, I'm iTunes challenged.
So you;
- quit iTunes
- moved the music back where it was
- opened iTunes and consolidated
- quit iTunes
- deleted the iTunes music folder on the C: drive
- then restarted iTunes?

I'm trying to download iTunes to an external harddrive but it wont let me change to this drive. WHY?

I'm trying to download iTunes to an external harddrive but it wont let me change to this drive. WHY?
There isn't enough room on my laptop and I have deleted all traces of previous iTunes

I think you've misunderstood.
iTunes ONLY works on the C drive. There is no moving it. End of discussion.
The MEDIA can be house on any other drive (internal or external).
Install iTunes correctly using the default options.
Once it is installed and working correctly with everything on the C drive, close iTunes.
Follow the instructions here: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1364 to move the iTunes media folder.

I am trying to import aperture library from macbook to new imac the import window sees the external harddrive but does nt see library. I can open library as a refernce library but cannot import onto hardrive as managable files

I may be misreading what you are trying to do but you don't import libraries via the import window. You use File->Import->Library..
If this doesn't resolve your problem post back with more detail of what you are doing and what is happening.

I am considering switching from MIE to Firefox. But I need to use an outdated version (7.3.1) of QuickTime, and I do not want Firefox to update it. If I installed Firefox, how would I prevent this?

Firefox doesn't update plugins like that. The worst you might see is a "nag" from Firefox after an update, about that plugin being outdated; and you can dismiss that "nag" by just closing it.

I choose to restore from a safety backup in iTunes. It works ok, but iTunes is still asking to restore the iPhone. Why can't I get to syncronise the phone?
I can't get the menue I am used to in iTunes. It only states "Klargjør iPhone" (Norwegian). Something like "Start up your iPhone". I've done this several times, restarted the iPhone and my computer, but I can't get ready to sync... The phone is working ok and my backup data is restored into the phone.

Hi there,
I would recommend taking a look at the troubleshooting steps found in the article below.

How do i back up files from mac to external harddrive

how do I back up files from mac to external harddrive not using time machine?

First format the external as Mac OS Extended (Journaled).
Connect via Firewire.
If it is just a few files or folders you want to back up you can just drag and drop. Or you can use SyncTwoFolders to keep the backups up to date.
If you want to back up your entire start-up disk use SuperDuper! or Carbon Copy Cloner, both of which can make a bootable clone of your entire start-up drive.
You can Google for the download sites of these applications, or search here:
