Want to Move iTunes library to external drive & access from home & work

I want to move my Windows iTunes library to my new external drive and be able to access my music library from my work computer and my home computer. I have read some discussions here about move libraries and I have some concerns:
1. What is the best solution to the problems people reported about iTunes Helper changing the drive letter back to C: if they booted the computer without the external drive connected?
2. Can I buy music and make playlists from both computers and not run into problems?
3. Any other advice to avoid gotchas?
Thanks,
Mark

If the drive is formatted NTFS, the Mc will not write to it. You need a driver installed to write to NTFS.
Or refomrat the drive to FAT32/MSDOS and it'll work fine.
If you have the entire iTunes folder on the external, connect it to your Mac, hold Option, launch iTunes and select Choose library... and select the iTunes folder on the external.
Note that the iTunes versions need to be the same between computers.

  • Want to move photo library to external drive

    I want to move the '08 iphoto library to an external drive, as I am running out of space on the iMac. However I have numerous picture folders (2007, 2006, etc) within my 'pictures' folder in addition to the iphoto library. The photos from these folders all appear in iphoto.
    My question: Do I have to copy/move these folders as well as the iphoto library?
    Thanks for the help.

    Dimitri
    Welcome to the Apple user to user assistance forums
    No - iPhoto is only concerned with the iPhoto library - quit iPhoto and drag the iPhoto library as a single entity to the external drive - launch iPhoto while depressing the option (alt) key an use the select library option to point to the new library location.

  • Move iTunes Library to External Drive

    Hi,
    I've read quite a few posts on this and tried a couple of ways, but it's not working. I come up with either an empty folder on my LaCie Hard Drive or duplicate folders that I have to import songs one by one on to the drive. I want to free up space on my iMac hard drive. There's one method that says on "step 11- choose *Consolidate Library*",under the Advanced menu in iTunes Preferences. That option is not even listed on my system (*OSX 10.3.9*).
    Another method I tried was the Option button down at iTunes start up. After hitting "Choose Library" I wind up with an empty iTunes Library on the LaCie hard drive that I then have to import songs 1 by 1. (No way that's happenin')
    Can someone make this a little easier for me? Any suggestions appreciated.
    Thank you,
    Randy

    Thanks again for the information. My iTunes library is now on mt LaCie EHD,and I've freed up a about 12GB of disc space.
    Now I'm curious about the whole gamut of iLife applications, iPhoto in particular.
    For now this bridge is crossed, so I'll leave it at that.
    These discussion boards are amazing.

  • Can't move iTunes library onto external drive?

    I am trying to clear some space of my MacBook Pro's internal hard drive by moving my iTunes library onto an Mac-formatted external drive. I have followed to the letter the instructions of the Apple document (setting external HD as location of new iTunes library, then selecting Advanced/Consolidate Library).
    The process continued for a bit before it crashed and said, "Copying Music failed. The disk could not be read from or written to."
    I had noticed that the error occurred when trying to copy a file that had the "#" symbol in its name. Typically, that character is only a problem with Windows, and I both disks are Mac OS. Nevertheless, I found that the song file in question was a duplicate, so I deleted it and tried again. This time, I got the error message right away!
    I have installed all updates, repaired permissions, and can see no reason for this to happen. I have Googled the error message and found a lot of references to this happening when copying to an iPod, but I am moving my library to an external HD.
    Please help! My internal HD is running out of space!

    That was it! Thanks! During the straight-up copy of the iTunes Music folder, the operation crashed because "some data could not be read or written." Had the iTunes error message been similar, I would have known that was the case.
    Currently, I am running an additional copy of the library using the ditto terminal commmand, so I can see a list of all the corrupt song files. So far about 15.
    Thanks again!!!!

  • How to move itunes media to external drive

    I'm running iTunes for Windows 10.6.3.25 and have 3000+ songs in the library. I'd like to move the music files to an external hard drive, without losing the dates added, plays, genres or the directory structure. I've already made a copy of all the folders and music files to my external drive (I've called it M: for Music), but now I need to tell iTunes to look there for the music and not at my laptop's D-drive. Changing the iTunes media folder in the Edit-Preferences-Advanced tab doesn't seem to have any effect on the existing songs.
    Anyone out there with tips or advice?
    Thanks

  • How To Move Existing Library to External Drive

    I have my Aperture library on my main internal drive. I have just purchased an eSATA drive (CalDigit's SVR Duo) and want to move my library off my internal drive onto the new external drive.
    How can this be done? The only way I can figure out how to do it is to create a vault, backup the entire library, then restore with a new library referenced onto the external drive.
    Any suggestions? Thanks.

    A little easier is merely to move the Aperture library in Finder (Aperture Library.aplibrary) to its new location. Then double-click it to launch Aperture. Aperture will use this library and reset the Prefs. (came in in 1.5.0).
    What I don't know is whether the Vault will still see the new location as the original library and continue providing incremental updates. Hopefully so.
    The other big option is to leave the library "as is" on the internal drive, and using File/Relocate Masters for Project to relocate masters to the external drive leaving a small library. Note that Vault does not back up referenced masters.

  • Moved iTunes Library to external drive- now can't move iPad purchase to Mac

    I moved my iTunes Library to an external drive because I didn't have enough internal HD space to move a movie purchased on the iPad to my Mac. Now iTunes won't sync my iPad - and wants to reformat it - because it says it was formatted on another Mac.
    I've tried Aiseesoft iPad Manager but the movie - a iTunes+ movie, so I assume it is a package of some sort - doesn't show up in the movie pane.
    This is a really crappy position to be put into. If I could re-download the movie I'd just reformat my iPad and be down with it. Unfortunately, this is not an option.
    Help!

    As a best practice, you should move your content to an external drive and import references to into iTunes rather than moving the whole database and app files. In iTunes > Preferences > Advanced, uncheck "Copy files to iTunes Media folder when adding to library". This will keep all your music and movies on the external drive, but iTunes and all references to the content on your desktop.
    I know that's not what you wanted to hear as a fix, but this is how I have my MacBook Air setup and it works fine with the iPad. My son tried to move the whole app and database to a hard drive and we had endless problems with it.

  • How do I move ITunes Library to External with only 5GB of space on Internal Drive without getting Space issue message when Consolidate library option is executed?

    This makes no sense Apple. The purpose in doing this is to free up space on my internal drive?
    Any help would be much appreciated as I'm stuck and can't seem to resolve or find any suggestions to resolve...

    Don't use that method.  It does move the whole library, it just moves the media.  The whole library is best left intact.

    Quick answer if you use iTunes' default preferences settings:  Copy the entire iTunes folder (and in doing so all its subfolders and files) intact to the other drive.  Open iTunes and immediately hold down the Option (alt) key (shift on Windows), then guide it to the new location of the library.

    Following the steps to move my iTunes library to an external drive, everything is strating well, the copy beginns and after 2 hours of copy, I had this message failure with error -50.
    My external hard drive is a timecapsule with enough free space.

    Quit iTunes.

    Launch iTunes and hold Option.
    Select Choose library... and select the iTunes folder on the external.
    This is all you need to do.

  • How do I move itunes to an external drive and use from there

    Mid July 2010 Mini running 10.9.4, 320 gig HD, about 95 gigs left on drive and I need to add bootcamp/windows7 which will need about 90 gigs, maybe a little less for what I need to do with win7. Next problem will be figuring out how to make bootcamp work. Like how do I make a ISO out of a dmg? That's for another post. Excuse me.
    What do I move to an external drive? The media folder? Do I move iTunes? Seems to me iTunes needs to be on the MacHD and it pulls media from the drive to be rendered or played. Do I drag and drop? From where? Why doesn't Apple have simple easy to understand certified answers to issues ordinary people have? Something about once "it" is moved, do you restart and then I think hold control down while starting iTunes? What about iTunes Match? Should that be off? If it is off during the change over and then after restating Match will it matter that now the media is all in a different location? Absolutely at a loss.
    Can someone please shed light on this?
    thanks,
    tom

    Quick answer if you use iTunes' default preferences settings:  Copy the entire iTunes folder (and in doing so all its subfolders and files) intact to the other drive.  Open iTunes and immediately hold down the option (alt) key (shift on Windows) so you get a prompt to select a library, then guide it to the 'iTunes Library.itl' file in the moved iTunes folder.
    If this is to a new computer and you put the copied iTunes folder in the default location of Macintosh HD > Users > *User Name* > Music  then you don't even need to start with the option key held down, iTunes will automatically look for it there.  (Make sure there isn't anything already in the iTunes folder there that you want to keep since you will be replacing it with the one you are moving.)

  • How to transfer itunes library to external drive and keep playlists and ratings

    I don't have much space on my laptop. I have attached an external drive. I want to access my Itunes library from
    the external drive.  All attempts to move the library now result in me losing my "playlists"  and even more importantly
    my ratings and genre information.
    How can I move the library with all my associated data intact such as the playlists, ratings, genres?
    I want this external drive to be the main location where I access my Itunes library.
    Once that is done I will work on backing it up, as that will be the only place that the data exists.
    Also, will my Apple TV be also be able to access my Itunes library with playlists. thus far I have not been able to do this.

    Start by consolidating your library. When you consolidate, any songs in the iTunes Library that are not in the iTunes Music Folder are copied to the Music Folder and the Library is updated to point to those new files. Files already in the iTunes Music Folder have no changes made to them: Consolidating your library - Windows
    Then copy the iTunes Folder to your external drive. Copying the whole folder brings with it the iTunes Music folder and also the iTunes Library (iTunes Library.itl in Windows) database file which holds all the information about your songs (Playlists, Ratings, Play Counts, Last Played, Date Added, etc). You'll get more information including the Folder/File structure in this article: What are the iTunes library files?
    Disconnect your external drive and connect it to your new computer, copy the iTunes folder to the new pc. When you copy the iTunes folder make sure you put it into the default location on the new computer. On a PC this is \Documents and Settings\Username\My Documents\My Music\ (or C:\Username\Music\ in Vista). You should also use the same version of iTunes on both computers.
    Once you have copied everything over hold down the Shift key in Windows when opening iTunes. In the resulting dialogue you will get the option to create a new library or navigate to an existing one. Navigate to where you placed the copy of the library file and open it up: How to open an alternate iTunes Library file
    If you have any iTunes purchases in your library don't forget that you'll need to authorise your new computer to play them. Also if you are disposing of the old one remember to deauthorise it so you don't use up one of your allowances: About iTunes Music Store Authorisation and Deauthorisation

  • How to back up iTunes Library to external drive so it can be restored

    I recently moved my iTunes Library from a firewire Lacie external hard drive to a Western Digital USd hard that is now having problems (It keeps unmounting itself and I don't think that's good). It was not easy to move my iTunes folder and make it work again. I do not want to send 3 weeks plus using my spare time relinking songs or recreating playlists. I had to re-link 6,000 songs one by one. I iTunes will make a backup on CDs or DVDs why not an external device? Why would I want to copy 80 plus gigs to CDs?
    If I simply copy my iTunes folder to the LaCie drive like apple recommends and the WD fails, I will lose all my playlists, track info, art work. I just got it all back. There must be some type of back up program I'm not seeing.
    Please, some one help me. I am very disappointed that this solution is not on here.
    I'm going to copy the file for now but it's really a poor solution.
    Message was edited by: CindyLoo

    I want to back up every thing, but I can't find a way to do it. That is the problem. Apple recommends if you are backing up to an external drive to copy folder the music folder to the drive via drag and drop. But I know when you do this that if you try use the backup you will only have the songs as if they were first added to iTunes.
    I was able this time to move my music folder successfully (Last time the problem wasn't immediately apparent as it didn't affect my iPod, so I hope I'm not jinxing it). For now, my music is back on the Lacie drive, but it's still not backed up. If the LaCie drive were to fail I'd be faced with reimporting all my music and re-purchasing the TV shows and movies. (I almost always make a CD of new iTunes Purchases. which is why I have no desire to have a second huge stack of CDs.) My computer will not burn DVDs.
    I want to backup everything so that it could be restored and be like it is now, but I don't see a way to do it. And I am not backing up all 80 plus gigs to CDs. My computer would crash and burn.

  • Move iTunes library on external HD from one Mac to another,

    I have 2 MacBook Pro's both running Lion, one (17") has my iTunes library through an external hard drive.  I would like to move the iTunes library on the external hard drive to the other Mac, 13" also running Lion.  Can anyone help?

    Export it as a QuickTime movie.
    If you want to move it in an Editable format then you'll need to copy the Library that contains it over to the other machine.

  • Now got iTunes library on external drive, will TM back it up?

    Hi
    I've just moved my iTunes library from my internal HDD on my Mac to a portable USB powered HDD as it was taking up to much room.
    I use TM with another desktop external drive that I plug in. Will TM backup the portable USB drive with iTunes on?
    do I need to do anything to do this?
    Can I also add other stuff to the portable drive and TM will backup this to?
    The portable drive is formatted as Mac OS Journaled
    cheers

    the loc-man wrote:
    Ah ok so everytime I now add something to the portable drive I will have to specifically tell TM not to back it up, as it will do all of drive if not.
    correct.
    So the older iTunes library that was on my internal iMac HDD, will I dump this now? is it a case of going into a finder window, going to home/user/Music/iTunes and right clicking and delete all previous backups? or should I leave it there?
    that's a tricky question. instead of deleting the iTunes folder from your startup disk, you might want to consider it your backup of your precious media files (or perhaps move it to yet another external HD). see http://web.me.com/pondini/Time_Machine/20.html.
    but, if you really want to, *don't use the finder* ! see http://web.me.com/pondini/Time_Machine/12.html.

  • Second iTunes library on External Drive

    I have a very large music collection (about 4,000 cds) that I would like to digitize. Ideally, I would like to be able to use the iTunes library on my MacBook Pro as a smaller, sort of "current playlist" library, while keeping the majority of my library on an external drive that I have access to when I attach the external drive. How do I do this?
    Thanks!

    use 3rd party apps such as these to rip the CDs and store the resulting files on the external.
    temporarily disable +*copy files to ... when adding to library+* in preferences > advanced, then drag the content from the external into an open iTunes window or use the +add to library+ command from the file menu. iTunes will index the path to the location of the files but not add them physically to your designated iTunes music (or media) folder.
    if you want to move certain files to your MBP's music folder, you could use this script:
    [_*Re-Locate Selected v1.1*_|http://dougscripts.com/itunes/scripts/ss.php?sp=relocateselected]
    This script will re-locate the files of the selected iTunes tracks from their current location to a new user-chosen folder. iTunes will be updated with each track's new location and all of each track's meta-data will be preserved. Option to remove the files from their original location. (I don't advise using this on more than an album's worth of tracks or so at a time; re-locating dozens of tracks' files to a single folder doesn't seem to make much sense to me.)
    NOTE: If your "Keep iTunes Media folder organized" preference set, you will not be able to create new folders in or re-locate files within the iTunes Media folder; outside is OK.
