Trying to move itunes from a network server but not succeeding. Help!

my work laptop is part of an exchange server network thing. I have to move my personal data from this network and so have experienced a few problems. Firstly when i moved the itunes files to my desktop away from the synched files in 'my documents' and 'my music' it deleted my whole library. I still had the files but everytime i tell itunes to add folders of music from their new location it still insists on putting the files back into 'my music' as well and thus back onto the server. I've changed the file location in the advanced settings to its new location on the desktop but its still doing the same thing. Can anyone help please?

1 Quit iTunes.
2 Copy the entire iTunes folder including music to the another location/external drive.
3 Restart iTunes holding (Shift-Windows, Option-Mac).
4 Select Choose library. Select the library in the folder you just moved.
5 Move the old iTunes folder to the trash but do not empty it.
6 Restart iTunes normally and verify the songs work. If they do, empty the trash.

  • Help!  Trying to move itunes from one PC to another but iPod keeps dying

    Hi everyone,
    I'm trying to move my itunes from my old, sad lap top to a decent used PC. I tried to go the route of using my iPod as a hard drive to move itunes but when i'm trying to load itunes from the iPod to the new PC, the process is interrupted because the iPod loses power. Now what?? I'm goin nuts...

    Once you settle on one of the options Kay provided you with, have a look at this post for some particulars:

  • 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.

  • Trying to move books from iTunes to iBooks, but apparently do not know how to do it.

    Apparently need to move my books from iTunes over to iBooks.  Dragging the book from one to the other does not work.  (If only it could be so simple!)  Anyone able to help as to how to do this?

  • How do i move Itunes from my old computer to my new one?

    Trying to move Itunes account from old computer to new one.  Am not sure if I install Itunes on new computer will it then allow me to log in and obtain my already purchased games/music or will i lose from old to new computer?

    These are two possible approaches that will normally work to move an existing library to a new computer.
    Method 1
    Backup the library with this User Tip.
    Deauthorize the old computer if you no longer want to access protected content on it.
    Restore the backup to your new computer using the same tool used to back it up.
    Keep your backup up-to-date in future.
    Method 2
    Connect the two computers to the same network. Share your <User's Music> folder from the old computer and copy the entire iTunes library folder into the <User's Music> folder on the new one. Again, deauthorize the old computer if no longer required.
    Both methods should give the new computer a working clone of the library that was on the old one. As far as iTunes is concerned this is still the "home" library for your devices so you shouldn't have any issues with iTunes wanting to erase and reload.
    I'd recommend method 1 since it establishes an ongoing backup for your library.
    If you have an iOS device that syncs with contact & calendar data on your computer you should migrate this information too. If that isn't possible create a dummy entry of each type in your new profile and iTunes should offer to merge the existing data from the device into the computer, otherwise the danger is that it will wipe the information from the device.
    If your media folder has been split out from the main iTunes folder you may need to do some preparatory work to make it easier to move. See make a split library portable.
    Should you be in the unfortunate position where you are no longer able to access your original library, or a backup of it, then see Recover your iTunes library from your iPod or iOS device for advice on how to set up your devices with a new library with the maximum preservation of data.

  • What are the steps move iTunes from xp to windows 7

    I need to move iTunes from xp to a a new windows 7 laptop. My iTunes lib is now on an external hd because of size.
    How do I convert.
    Do I download a new iTunes and the point to my external hd?
    Any tips or help would be appreciated.
    Art K

    Thanks for your reply.
    I went to this page on the Apple Support site: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1364
    I followed its instructions and it didn't work. I tried it 5 or 6 times and then i took my PC to a shop and they tried it 5 or 6 times which cost me a fortune - and i still can't get it to work.
    I've checked my iTunes preferences as you said and it is set to this:
    D:\My Documents\My Music\iTunes\iTunes Music
    I've checked both folders and i've noticed both have the same information in them ie: C>USERS>CHRISMAY>MYMUSIC>iTUNES has exactly the same in it as D>MYDOCUMENTS>MYMUSIC>iTUNES - So there's a Library.xml file in each folder and a Library.itl file in each folder and an Album Artwork file in each folder etc etc. So in effect the both iTunes folders have exactly the same files in them apart from the 'iTunes Music' folder which is only located on the D Drive as this is where i want all the music to be stored.
    The reason for that was that i could only get iTunes to work with my original library by copying everything from my external back up onto the C Drive. So i don't know if having duplicate folders in both iTunes folders on the C & D drive's will be causing any of the problems or not ??
    Is there any chance you know why my iTunes is working on my PC and allowing me to upload music to it but it won't let my 2x iPod's or my iPhone sync with it ? If so are there any solutions i could try before i smash them all up in a fit of rage or all my hair falls out?
    Hope you can help................

  • Followed cnet direct. to move itunes from c drive to ext. drive, worked, deleted off c, still worked, now says AVFoundationCF.dll not found-reinstall, don't want to lose data

    I recently followed cnet directions to move itunes from c drive on pc running xp pro, to external drive, for space reasons.  Process worked.  I tunes ran from e drive, verified data on e drive, deleted all apple applications on c drive so I could remove itunes and recover space.  Verified itunes still worked off of new short cut and and that target was e drive.  Now itunes won't open and get message "AVFoundationCF.dll not found - reinstall", or "not installed correctly Error 7 (windows error 126) - reinstall."  Tried download, install from apple.com for itunes on c drive, but message "library can't be read because it was created by a newer version of itunes."  How do I fix this without losing all of our "material" saved on the itunes program?

    Thank you for the reply, but so far no go.  I tried through control panel and add remove programs with repair option as suggested but got error..."C:\programs......AppleAplicationSupport.msi cannot be found."  This was after I have done new download and install of itunes to the c drive.  I have not taken any steps to try use that down load or reload any material on it.  I changed path to external drive an folder, E:\ itunes and got the "error not valid installation package."  Still looking for answers...

  • I'm trying to update iTunes from 10.2.2 (12) But it wont update to latest version!?

    Hi everyone,
    I have iTunes 10.2.2 (12) and now i want to update it to version 10.4. I tried the applicationupdate on the system menu, i tried the "look for updates" within iTunes, and i tried to download iTunes, and install it. But NOTHING works, it wont update to version 10.4.1, or to any other version either. And yes, I have tried to restart computer and doesnt work?! My OSX version is btw OSX Lion 10.7.1. But it didnt work on Snowleopard last week either. Please, what should I do to make it update?!

    Glad you got things working again, and many thanks for reporting back with your resolution.
    A quick note for other folks getting the following complication:
    After that, tried to install the new version and got a bunch of errors:  "Could not open key:UNKNOWN\Components\ ~~~~a lot of numbers and letters~~~~~\ ~~~~~~a lot of numbers and letters~~~~.Verify that you have sufficient acess to that key, or contact your support personnel." that I also found referenced in these forums.  I had to go into HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Installer\UserData \S-1-5-18\Components and manually add the Administrators group with full access to the keys it complained about.  After doing this, I got more of the same errors but for different keys - I assume each component that installs would error out after the first one and it would move on to the next component.
    I had to do this and restart the installer about 10 times before the installer completed
    The set of instructions from the following post are worth a try with that. (It's a quicker process, and for some unexplained reason tends often to work better than adjust each set of permissions manually.)
