Trying to move library, but no "consolidate" option!

I am following the directions on the "Moving your Itunes
Music Folder" to try and move all the songs from my "C" drive to my largely unused, "D" drive.
However, under Preferences > Advanced > General.. and after I have selected the new location, there is no option in the menu to choose "Consolidate Library". It's just not there. I really need to move my library as my Itunes folder is so big its taking up all the space on my cdrive, and my computer is having problems functioning!

Is it possible that you are confusing the Advanced Tab in the Preferences Window with the Advanced Menu?
In my version of iTunes (6.0.5) the Advanced Menu is one of the items along the top of the iTunes window. I don't know if this is the case with 7.0.2 as I never intalled it. Anyway it is something different from the Preferences Window.

Log in to the Developer forum. You will find instructions on how to install the lastest beta. Your problem is the beta you have installed has expired. All of them did on October 5; you will find hundreds of threads discussing this. If you have a beta it is assumed that you will continue as a beta tester, so a simple update using iTunes will not work.
If you no longer want to be a beta tester install the GM 7.0.2 by restoring from iTunes using DFU mode.

I synched my iPad to my movies library but the movies aren't showing on my ipad

I synched my iPad to my movies library but after I disconnected it the movies aren't there

Are you looking in the videos app?
Did you actually select the movies to sync in iTunes?
Connect the iPad to the Computer and launch iTunes.
Click on the iPad name on the left side under devices.
Click on the MoviesTab on the right.
Click on all of the movies that you want to transfer to the iPad.
Click on the Sync Movies Heading.
Click on Apply in the lower right corner of iTunes

After doing a software update for iPhoto, some of the photos in my library appear distorted and stretched. I have tried repairing the library but they are still distorted. Has anyone else experienced this and found a solution?

After doing a software update for iPhoto, some of the photos in my library appear distorted and stretched. I have tried repairing the library, rebuliding and repairing the thumbnails but they are still distorted. Has anyone else experienced this and found a solution?

What upgrade did you apply? As a test launch iPhoto with the Option key held down and create a new, test library. Import some photos and test to see if the same problem persists. Does it?

I am trying to change how long after sleep a passcode is required, but the only option I see is "immediately"...Does anyone know how to see more options?

Thanks for the help guys. Disabling Touch ID allows me to see other options...Although I don't understand why Apple would feel the need to put that restriction in place. Doesn't seem to be any sense behind it..

Trying to open rosetta but not an option in menu

I'm trying to open black and white the game using rosetta as it is a power pc game and not intel.
I cant seem to find the option to use rosetta in the 'get info' menu. However i can find it for almost every other application.
What am i doing wrong? Is there a way around this?
Thanks
Moose

It is not possible to open rosetta. It is not an application as such but an operating environment to allow some older software to run that was not compiled for an Intel chip. Your game is most likely simply not going to play as most games will not run under rosetta. Games require dedicated resources and dedicated hardware and it it won't run without access to those resources. Black and White may have been written to take advantage of certain features built in to PPC chips, like AltiVec that simply do not exist on Intel chips and cannot be duplicated through a run time environment like rosetta. Most games need control of the video card, which is not going to be provided under rosetta.
If the game is that important you could always buy a used Power PC Mac on e-bay for almost nothing and use it to run the game but don't count on a game that old running under emulation, it just won't work.

Dropping videos into movies library but goes to music library on ipad

I drap and drop home made videos (in .MOV) format into the Library labeled Movies. They show up on movies list okay. When I sync IPAD, movies go to my music library not movies.

Actually, now they won't play on my iPad either.

Trying to move aperture library from USB external drive to FW 800 external drive.i can see the projects but no thumbnails. Error application not responding. Verified permissions before started. It's been 3hours. Recommendations please

I have consolidated iPhoto into aperture 3.2.2 and now have both aperture and iPhoto put consolidated library on 2.0 USB external drive. Have been removing duplicate photos from 23,000 down to 15,000. Problem in trying to close aperture and now tried to move library from 2.0 USB to 800FW and can see projects but no thumbnails. Aperture error now reads not responding. Can I repair library on 2.0 at this point?

Sharon,
did you do anything else besides copying your library to a fire wire drive after your last post Aperture not responding ?
Since that library probalbly already needed fixing, I'd recommend to force quit Aperture and use the "First Aid" to repair your Library.

RAC does not start after trying to move storage

Hello,
We have a two nodes RAC Oracle 10g and ASM groups defined on one external storage.

You can see that cluster is not healty from cluvfy output.

I am trying to move my library and playlists to a new computer by burning to CD's. However, I followed the directions by going to File and then Library - then they said to go to burn CD(s) - I DO NOT have that option for some reason. How do I do this? I have done the library sharing thing but I am getting rid of my primary computer and am afraid I will lose the library.

To move an iPhoto Library to a new machine:
Link the two Macs together: there are several ways to do this: Wireless Network,Firewire Target Disk Mode, Ethernet, or even just copy the Library to an external HD and then on to the new machine...
But however you do choose to link the two machines...
Simply copy the iPhoto Library from the Pictures Folder on the old Machine to the Pictures Folder on the new Machine.
Then hold down the option (or alt) key key and launch iPhoto. From the resulting menu select 'Choose Library'
and select the Library that you moved. That's it.
This moves photos, events, albums, books, keywords, slideshows and everything else.
Your first option didn't work because you imported one Library to another. Every version and thumbnail is imported like a distinct photo, you lose all your Albums, Keywords etc., the link between Original and Previews is destroyed, the non-destructive editing feature is ruined and so on. In summary: it's mess.
Your second option didn't work because you simply referenced her library on the old machine.

Problem is with my iPhoto on my Macbook air. I am trying to move my library from my airbag onto my passport drive. I did it and deleted it from the airbag but it simply re appeared possibly from the cloud. Not sure what to do next.

Sorry - we can not see you
what do you have? Version of iPhoto? Of the OS? How is the passport connected to your Mac? What format is the passport (for the iphoto library it must be Mac OS extended (journaled) )? The iPhoto library is not and can not be on the cloud (maybe later with the Photos Application)

Hi Apple, Is there a way to move some of my less frequently used music out of my iTunes Library to free up some space on my full hard drive but with the option to re-add it later?

HT1451 I am trying to move two ring tones from my Iphone 4 to my new Iphone 5. I can see the ringtones on my old device in Itunes but I cant seem to move them to the Library or to the new device.

I am trying to move 2 ringtones from my Iphone4 to my new Iphone5. I can see the ringtones in Itunes on the old device. I cant seem to copy them to the library or to the new phone. Do you have any suggestions?

Hello DelaineF,
Congratulations on your new iPhone 5! It sounds like you would like to transfer your ringtones from your iPhone 4 to your iPhone 5.
If the ringtones were purchased from the iTunes Store, you can transfer them to iTunes using the steps in this article:
iTunes Store: Transferring purchases from your iOS device or iPod to a computer
http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1848
Once you have the ringtones on your computer, I recommend using the steps in the following article to sync it to your iPhone 5:

Trying to move iTunes library to new external hard drive

I'm trying to move my iTunes library to a new, second, external hard drive and I'm not having much luck. I have two G-Tech 500 GB external drives. One is my Time Capsule and the other one I plan to use to house my iTunes and iPhoto libraries -- I want to free up space on my internal drive.
The iPhoto library moved over to the new disk with no problems. iTunes, on the other hand, keeps hanging up, with the "beach ball of death" and a lot of file error messages. I began moving my iTunes library onto the external drive by following these steps:
• Open iTunes
• Go to Itunes Preferences
• Click the Advanced Tab
• Note where the Music Library's located under iTunes Media folder location
• Navigate to the folder and drag the library onto the external HD.
The plan was to then go back over to iTunes and input the folder location in the iTunes Preferences so iTunes can find the library again. However, the simple drag-and-drop just isn't working. My iTunes library is about 10,000 songs and videos; if I have to do this album by album (which seems to be working, but I'm still having the occasional hang-up and freeze) it will take weeks! Has anyone had this problem before, and if so, did you find a fix?
Any advice is greatly appreciated! Thanks in advance for taking the time to look -- Tom

the support article Dennis pointed you to would consolidate your media files to the external but keep the iTunes folder on your startup disk.
another approach would be to copy the entire iTunes folder to the external and run your library from there (this assumes that all your media files are currently in <MacintoshHD>/users/<yourname>/music/iTunes/iTunes music).
so, if you're willing, start over yet again. before you proceed, erase the external using disk utility and make sure it is formatted for Mac (make sure the partition map scheme of the drive is GUID and the volume is Mac OS extended (journaled)).
now copy the entire iTunes folder (not just the iTunes music folder) to the external using the finder. when the copying has finished, launch iTunes while holding the option key, click on +choose library+ when prompted, and select the iTunes folder on the external.
once you're satisfied everything worked as expected, you can delete the contents of your local iTunes music folder.
