Was there a change to the location where iTunes copies media with the "Keep media folder organized" option selected?

iTunes was copying my media to for example:
\volume\iTunes\Music\Artist\Album\tracks.mp3
\volume\iTunes\Movies\Movie\movie.mp4
\volume\iTunes\TV Shows\TV Show\Season\episode.mp4
I believe after the update it started to copy and move files to different locations:
\volume\iTunes\Artist\Album\tracks.mp3
\volume\iTunes\Movies\movie.mp4
\volume\iTunes\TV Shows\TV Show\episode.mp4
Music is no longer being copied to the Music folder, it's being copied or moved to the root of where I have my iTunes directory defined. Has anyone seen this change happen to them?

Actually to get it to run through your library as it now exists I think the consolidate command is still around (I don't have itunes 10).

Any way to change the location where itunes stores the backup files?

I am running low on my C: drive in XP. Any way to change the location where itunes stores the backups of my various devices?

i am currently in the same situation. i purchased an external hard drive and set itunes to save to it in the preferences, and this worked, but only for new additions. all of my current music still plays from my mac HD and not the external. i am assuming i will need to re-add every song. the only plus is that when i transferred my songs to the external, it saved my settings. hopefully it saves the play counts.

I have tried everything, but still I can't locate the photos tab in iTunes...I have tried changing the resolution, started iTunes after connecting with the ipad2, nothing seems to work! please advise!

You don't see it on the left-hand side of iTunes - you need to connect and select the iPad on the left-hand side, and then one of the tabs on the right-hand side that you use to select which content to sync to the iPad should be Photos : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4236
You will need to select and sync all the photos that you want on the iPad together in one go as only the most recent sync remains on the iPad, not including photos in a subsequent sync is how you delete them from it.

I need to know the location where iTunes downloads software to, it is filling up my hard drive.

I am trying to put my iPhone4 into recovery and then will restore it. iTunes starts extracting the software. But the iPhone reboots and by the time the software has completed extraction, the iPhone can no longer be seen by iTunes.
We have a very small hard drive on our laptop. Each time iTunes does an extraction, it uses up more space on the C: drive.
Nothing frees up that used drive space. Not closing iTunes or rebooting the computer. Nothing.
How do we release / delete these files?

How can I change the location where itunes stores my backup?

I don't know how to change the location were itunes stores my backup and my transfer purchases. I don't have enough memory on the hard driver where the windows is installed.Please help me!!!

Transferred purchases usually get stored in the iTunes Media folder although if your library started life back on iTunes 8 or earlier then apps could be stored within the main iTunes library folder. This post gives an overview of how to restructure your library on a different drive. I can give specific instructions if you tell me more about your current setup.
To change where iTunes stores iOS device backups redirect <Profile>\<AppData>\Apple Computer\MobileSync\Backup to a folder on another drive using NTFSLink (shell ext., might only work on XP) or Junction (cmd line tool). In essence you move the existing folder to a new location, create an empty folder where the old one used to be, then get the operating system to link the two together and silently redirect any file operation on the old location through to the new one.

How can I change the location where iTunes saves iOS 5.1, new data, synchronized apps and other data?

My hard drive C is full. I changed the location of the mediathek to an external hard drive F and moved all media data there. Also, I synchronized my iPad with this new set-up. So far, everything worked out well.
Now, why is iTunes stll saving data, like the much needed iOS 5.1, to C? This actually makes it impossible for me to finally update my iPad, because my C drive is simply full!
Also, iTunes does not synchronize my iPad apps or my photos. When I try to synchronize them manually, iTunes starts to save data to my C drive. How can I change that to my external drive F?
In a nutshell, how can I move iTunes once and for all to my external hard drive F (or at least, to a different hard drive on my computer)? There is simply no space on my C drive for it at all.
Thankyou so much for an answer, I am literally going nuts right now!

Can I specify the location where iTunes places ripped mp3's?

I would like to use iTunes to rip my CD's.
However:
1. I keep my music at a different location (directory tree arranged by genre, artist, albums etc) than the iTunes library. I manage the music library myself.
2. I edit the MP3 tags outside of iTunes (using MP3TAG software).
So, can I
1. tell iTunes the directory where to place the ripped mp3's and
2. prevent iTunes from automatically integrating the rips into its library. I will import the mp3's into iTunes when I an good and ready.

Not really. iTunes places rips at *<iTunes Media Folder>\(Music\)<Album Artist|Artist>\<Album>\## <Track>.<ext>*. You can change the location of your *<iTunes Media Folder>* but that's it. The optional Music\ bit depends on whether you're using the new *iTunes Media Organsiation*.
2. prevent iTunes from automatically integrating the rips into its library. I will import the mp3's into iTunes when I an good and ready.
Nope. iTunes add files to the library as part of any import, rip or play operattion.
For what it's worth I keep my library organised manually, but why use MP3Tag to edit data that can just as easily be editied inside iTunes? After I rip an album or purchase from iTunes/Amazon I use iTunes to amend the details so that the album will be properly organised (see tips at http://www.samsoft.org.uk/iTunes/grouping.asp) and then use MediaMonkey to reorganise the files & folders to my style. I then simply delete & reimport the album.

Just put my i-tunes library on a 2nd hard drive, how do I easily change the location where the program looks for current songs from the C:/ drive to the new drive without going thru each song individually in the "get info" tab

I just installed a new hard drive and transfered my i-tunes library to the new drive. How can I make a bulk change of the location the program looks for the current songs. I know you can do it song by song from the "get info" tab but I need to do it for all 4500 songs. I have already changed the location that new files are stored to the new hard drive.

The pop-up lets you connect to the library file, iTunes Library.itl, on the external drive. This will, in turn, automatically update the preference for the iTunes Media folder to be the iTunes Media or iTunes Music folder inside the iTunes folder on the external drive and it will update the locations of all the content inside the media folder so that it uses the version on the external drive.
This works seamlessly if all iTunes content was inside the iTunes Media (or iTunes Music) folder (which was itself inside the iTunes library folder) before you moved/copied the iTunes folder. For content outside the iTunes Media folder iTunes should remain connected to the original location. These files should be consolidated (before or after the move/copy) and in addition, if available the library should be upgraded to the newer layout which places iPod Games and Mobile Applications inside the media folder instead of the library folder. (File > Library > Organize Library...)
For split libraries there are methods to rejoin them before moving (preferred) or repairing after the fact (e.g. my script) which I can go into if needed.

I was in a car collision and need proof of my location when I called 911. The Police Dept., refused to respond, since there were no injuries.
Now, I have a dispute with the other driver who is falsely stating accident happened at another intersection. In addition of calling 911 twice, I also took pictures of damages. Unfortunately, I did not take pictures of the intersection signs.
My AT&T carrier states that this info. can only be disclosed by a subpoena. My insurance carrier states that they will not subpoena this info., since it is a civil case only.
The Police Department does not keep records of calls they do not attend to.
How can I get this location info. from my i phone device if at all possible?
Thanks,

iPhone 4, iOS 6.0.1

Johnathan Burger,
I did take photos of the damages to car and license plates, but NOT the intersection signs.
How do I get the GPS Data in the exit data of photos? Please advise.
Thanks,

What I am saying is ..........
The iPhone HAS to be active making calls on the UK carrier network for the carrier to identify as "theirs" and therefore eligible for the Carrier to unlock
The way to achieve this is to use a PAYG sim making and receiving calls to establish a customer relationship with the Carrier and then follow the Carrier's process to unlock
With a PAYG it usually means adding a specified (by the carrier ) amount usually £15 /£20 depending on the carrier
This is how O2 function and according to Gemma this is how Vodafone work

Is there a way you can change your app locations on iTunes?

It's tedious when trying to drag an app that you really like past 4 'pages' of apps to the 1st page.

HI,
Is there a way you can change your app locations on iTunes?
Yes. Connect your iPhone to your computer, launch iTunes. Select your iPhone under Devices on the left. Select "Apps" in the menu. You can drag apps to any of the home screens you want, then click: Apply bottom right corner of the iTunes window.

The "Apple ID Password box along with the keyboard keeps popping up on my iPad and stays there. I have changed my email address on my iMac but my old one still remains on the iPad. Also changed password. Nothing works! I can't use the iPad like this!

The "apple ID Password" box along with the keyboard pops up when I turn the iPad on and it stays there. I have changed my email address on my iMac and also changed my password.

This is an older photo but the sleep and home buttons are still in the same place on all iPads. The home button is the round button at the bottom of the iPad and the sleep button is also called the on/off button and it is at the top right corner of the iPad.

When I type in a location for an object, Edge Animate keeps changing the location. For example, I enter the x-coordinate as 97 and it changes to 94. What's going on??

With those specs, I'm surprised that it runs at all.
