You can make iTunes point to the external media folder.
Go to iTunes > Preferences > Advanced tab, change the iTunes Media folder location.
Keep iTunes Media folder organized CHECKED
Copy files to iTunes Media folder when adding to library CHECKED

HT1920 I have two apple ID accounts. How do I merge them into one?

Hi all
I have realised that I have two AppleID accounts - one set up many years ago with an old email address. The other my current ID I use all the time. How do I go about merging the two into the account I use now?
MS

thanks, this has become apparent on my search around this system!
Does anyone know if I can link both accounts into 1 cloud?

I have iTune accounts under two separate Apple IDs. Can I merge them into one account under one ID?

I have iTune accounts under two separate Apple IDs. Can I merge them into one account under one ID? I have purchased music and video in both.

No, it is not possible to merge accounts. Choose one as the primary account and keep a local backup of all purchases so you don't get into the mess where you encounter a 90 day freeze on re-downloading past purchases from multiple accounts.

HT1491 I have two itunes accounts with different Apple ID's. How can I merge them into one?

I ahve two itunes accounts with different Apple ID's. How can I merge them into one account?

Apple has no provisions for this. You cannot merge multiple Apple ID's into one ID. Content is always tied to the Apple ID that was used to purchase it.

I have two iTunes Store accounts. How can I merge them?

I have two iTunes Store accounts. How can I merge them?

The ability to merge accounts has been raised a number of times, and I would have thought that it would be something that Apple has looked at (or maybe still is) - if/when it will be possible I don't know.
It's also not possible to delete an account, all you can do is remove any personal info from it and stop using it. But any content that you bought/downloaded with it will remain tied to it, so only that account will be able to authorise that content on a new computer, redownload it and download updates to its app (so will need to remember the id and password)

How can I open all my itunes libraries and merge them into one?

Some of my music can't be opened by itunes because it says it is in another library. As there are several of these and they won't open,I can't see where the songs I want are. Therefore I would like to open ALL the libraries and merge them into one. Thanks for any help.

Hmm, read that post of Dave Sawyer's and thought well, that's Ok I have it on my iPod, but no, it's not there either. Then resorted to Time Machine (not used for a few months (took it away with us when we evacuated to avoid Cyclone Yasi) only to find that is playing up also, and it doesn't appear to be anywhere there either!
One thing leads on to another - Time Machine has only backed up to 3 months back; then there is nothing beyond! yet there is tons of stuff on it. Maybe it backs up the whole system each time, and not just the changes made inbetween times. The prefs. won't appear and so I can't change the setup.
All this just because of one sone!

you can't merge Apple ID's

I have multiple Apple IDs. Is there a way for me to merge them into a single Apple ID?
Apple IDs cannot be merged. You should use your preferred Apple ID from now on, but you can still access your purchased items such as music, movies, or software using your other Apple IDs.

I created two iTunes libraries on my mac mini and would like to merge them into one library. What is the easiest way to do this?

I created two iTunes libraries on my mac mini back in the day. I would like to consolidate them into one iTunes library. What is the easiest method to do this? I do use i-Match to access all my music from iCloud, if that makes any difference. Thanks. Mark

Thanks for the reply. When I created the 2 libraries years ago I would hold down the options key and had 2 library names to choose from. Now it just shows a lot of files when I do that, With over 7,000 songs I think I will just look for the few songs from the original library I used to use that still interest me, if they don't show up in my default current library. Thought there would be any easy was to integrate all my music files into one library. I am definitely not going to spend days manually doing this, but thanks again.

If you mean iTunes Store accounts, you can't.
If you mean iTunes libraries, import the files and playlists from one library to the other.

Yipes - My iTunes Library Disappeared - What Happened Here???

Hola;
I have a very large iTunes library on an external drive. Today when I went to work on my collection there were no songs listed when I clicked the music tab in iTunes. I proceeded to restart my heart.
When I went to preferences>advanced it showed the correct location of my music on the external drive.
I am now in the process of adding my iTunes music from the drive into my library
And ideas what might have happened? and how I can prevent it from happening again? And anything else I should be doing?
thanks

A crash when the library database file was being updated is one way. Just restore the backup you take regularly. Ah, OK.
It sounds like you are well on the way to rebuilding your library however this will have erased data such as ratings, play counts, playlists etc. If none of this matters then carry on as you are, otherwise here is how to restore the correct library...
Hopefully it's not been too long since you last upgraded iTunes. In the *Previous iTunes Libraries* folder should be a number of dated iTunes Library files. Take the most recent of these and copy it into the iTunes folder. Rename *iTunes Library* as *iTunes Library (Rebuild)* and then rename the restored file as *iTunes Library*. Start iTunes. Should all be good, bar any recent additions to or deletions from your library.

I have two iTunes accounts somehow, and just want to merge them together.

If you have two iTunes accounts by accident (one iPhone and one Computer...) how can you merge them together into one account?

The simple answer is that you cannot. Try contacting the store support staff and see what they can do to help: http://www.apple.com/emea/support/itunes/contact.html

My wife and I have seperate itune accounts, but want to merge them into one account or at least merge our seperate purchases into one library. Is this possible?

Basic problem...my wife has her own iTunes account which she purchases music with, I have my own that i have been purchasing music with...however, married now as we have similar tastes in music and dont want to be duplicating albums etc.
Was wondering is it possible to merge the two accounts into one account? Or if not, that we carry on purchasing music but have one shared library. Is this possible, any help appreciated.
Thanks

"Was wondering is it possible to merge the two accounts into one account? "
No.
Just put all of your music/apps/etc on one computer/library. Authorize the computer for both ids.
