View Windows File Folder/Location in ITunes

Is there any way to see what file folder your music is in from iTunes (in the library)? I have some folders for very specific things and want to make playlists out of them, but have to manually pick out each and every one since I can't seem to sort the library by file location...
Thanks for any help. This is actually a make-or-break for my next player purchase! Acey

Get info (File menu) on any track will tell you where the actual files are stored. But I don't see how that would help much in making a playlist. You are correct that you cannot sort nor search iTunes by file location, so you'll still have to go through each item one by one, if you want to build a playlist solely based on where the track is stored on the hard drive.
Perhaps, though, you could use a tag editor to put a tag into the Comments or Grouping for each track in a given folder. Then you could use a Smart Playlist to search for those tags. Someone else here may be able to provide more information about that possibility.
Regards.

Where is the file share located in itunes because i cant find it??

Where is file share located??

Still no answer to this important question, nearly a year after it was posted? WHERE IS THE REMOTE BUTTON that we are supposed to pair Remote app on the iPhone with? Here's what the help file says in French :
Jumeler Remote avec une bibliothèque iTunes
1. Touchez Remote sur l’écran d’accueil de votre appareil.
2. Touchez Ajouter une bibliothèque iTunes.Un code à 4 chiffres apparaît.
3. Ouvrez iTunes sur votre ordinateur, puis cliquez sur le bouton Remote .
4. Tapez le code à 4 chiffres dans la fenêtre iTunes.iTunes jumelle la bibliothèque de votre ordinateur avec l’app Remote de votre appareil.
NO REMOTE BUTTON ANYWHERE IN ITUNES THAT I CAN SEE... HELP!

Can I set up 2 folder locations for iTunes Media?

I have been searching for a discussion on this topic, but haven't found this particular question, only related ones, so please excuse me if this is a duplicate.
I have two external hard drives. I assigned one as my iTunes Media folder location, and I want the other one to be a backup.
Is there any way to avoid having to figure out every podcast update and make sure its copied onto the backup drive? Is there any way to do this automatically?
It seems to me that if we can designate TWO folder locations, it would work, but not sure that is possible. If not, any other suggestions?

Thanks, there I have it.
I had hoped Apple had a better solution, and maybe I was overlooking, but I guess the incremental is what I have.
There's recommendations to do automatic full backups after several incremental, and with 3tbs, its not reasonable on my 2007 iMac. It would just bog it down while I'm trying to do multiple things on it already. I'm thinking that I'll just go back to manually do it every few months like I did with my old 750gb drives I had before, and anything of serious value, I'll manually add to backup in interim. I mean, its mostly podcasts and things like that, which need to be replaced on the backup drive, and that won't take as long as backing up the whole drive every so often.
Maybe there's a hybrid version of incremental and manual, but it starts to get into headache territory, so I hope I'm making the right decision. If Mac offered the dual folder drives, that would have been awesome.
Not sure if usb 3 on the drives help, don't think my Mac processes usb 3 speed. The moral of the story is probably to upgrade my system. But it just works so beautifully for everything else I do now, so it seems a bit much to upgrade a system just to make my backups easier. I guess time will tell.

Jabber for Windows file transfer location

Is there a way to change the default location of files when transfered through Jabber? I know that via the XML config file I can disable and restrict file types, but what I really want to do is move the file transfer locatoin off the local machine to a on site server for security purposes.
Thanks
Michael

This would be good feature to have! I don't believe we have this yet (change the destination file location).

Creative cloud files folder location

many of us creative types have a fast flash-disk space for our system and application fies, and another dirive for our data.
So it is a pity that the Creative Cloud Connection utility allows the Creative Cloud Files Foder to be only on the user disk.
It is for this reason alone that I will not be using this service

thank you Malik, for
1. the courtecy of a reply
2. for such good news.
I'm pleased

Need to view Windows files & online content on my iMac

Thanks

Huh?
You're got to be more specific. Tell us what the issue is, and what this "thing" you tried downloading is.

Open My Computer to view file's location

I want to create an interaction like that: when users click
on a button, the My Computer window will be opened to view a file's
location on the hard disk. So what is the suitable statement(s)
should I use? I've tried 'open("D:\Studying\Director")' but it
doesn't work.
Please help me!!

Just FYI, you can do the same thing with Buddy API’s
baOpenFile method. Just give it a folder path but don’t
include the filename. Way back in the day this was cross platform
compatible but it’s been a long time since I’ve checked
if it still works on a Mac. The other neat thing about this is that
you can use one script to open both files and folders depending on
the path you feed it.

Itunes media folder location on Mac Mini server

That simply tells iTunes where to put new files.
It does not add anything to iTunes.
You should keep the entire iTunes library (iTunes media and all library files) in one location.
Do this...
Connect external to old computer.
Copy /Music/iTunes/ folder from internal drive to external drive.
On the external, move the iTunes media folder into the iTunes folder you just copied to the external.
Hold Option, launch iTunes, select Choose library... and select the iTunes folder on the external.
Everything should work fine.
Quit iTunes.
Connect drive to new computer.
Hold Option, launch iTunes, select Choose library... and select the iTunes folder on the external.
Everything should work fine.
This is all you need to do.
This will bring all your playlists, ratings, comments, everything from old computer.
You do not need to change the iTunes media folder location in iTunes prefs..

ITunes file download location

How can I change my itunes's file download location?

iTunes preferences -> Advanced -> iTunes Music Folder location
Note that this will only change where future purchases and imports go. If you want to move your existing tracks as well, set the preference to the appropriate location and then use the Consolidate Library command under the Advanced menu.

Multiple itunes music folder locations

Guys,
Does anyone know if it is possible to have multiple itunes music folder locations for itunes?
I am quickly running out of space on my macbook pro and would like to move my less used music and movies to a separate external drive whilst leaving my most popular stuff on the macbook pro.
Cheers
Kegan

I have these exact same questions as the user above, but for a different reason. I want to have two different locations for my iTunes Music folder. One on my laptop for recent music (so I have it when I travel) and another "archive library" on the Time Capsule for the remainder of my music (accessible only over my wireless LAN when at home).
I have gone through the "hold the option key" process to create a second "library" on the Time Capsule, but it still references the same iTunes folder location. Of course, I could relocate the entire iTunes Music folder to the Time Capsule and re-reference it in Preferences->Advanced, but then I wouldn't have access to my recent songs when traveling.
Then, there's the whole question of how to transfer songs between folders (when my "recent" folder gets to large and I need to archive), but maybe I'm getting ahead of myself.
Thanks,
John Mac

I am trying to open iTunes on my Windows 7 PC and am getting the following message...the itunes library can not be found or created. The default location for this file is in the "iTunes" folder in the "Music" folder. Any ideas?

Let's try this first. Hold down the Shift key while you try to launch iTunes. You should eventually see the following dialog:
Click "Choose library". Browse to inside the following location (depending on what operating system you're running):
Operating System
Default location of iTunes library
Microsoft Windows XP
\Documents and Settings\[your username]\My Documents\My Music\iTunes\
Microsoft Windows Vista
\Users\[your username]\Music\iTunes\
Microsoft Windows 7
\Users\[your username]\My Music\iTunes\
... and open the iTunes library you find in there.

(1) Download the Windows Installer CleanUp utility installer file (msicuu2.exe) from the following Major Geeks page (use one of the links under the "DOWNLOAD LOCATIONS" thingy on the Major Geeks page):
http://majorgeeks.com/download.php?det=4459
(2) Doubleclick the msicuu2.exe file and follow the prompts to install the Windows Installer CleanUp utility. (If you're on a Windows Vista or Windows 7 system and you get a Code 800A0046 error message when doubleclicking the msicuu2.exe file, try instead right-clicking on the msicuu2.exe file and selecting "Run as administrator".)
(3) In your Start menu click All Programs and then click Windows Install Clean Up. The Windows Installer CleanUp utility window appears, listing software that is currently installed on your computer.
(4) In the list of programs that appears in CleanUp, select any iTunes entries and click "Remove", as per the following screenshot:
(5) Quit out of CleanUp, restart the PC and try another iTunes install. Does it go through properly this time?
