What exactly is "it" you want to move?
"its appropriate file"
What exactly is in the inappropriate location?

    thanks for your kind help

    1. Update iTunes - latest version is 10.4.1.
    2. Disable ALL security apps (firewall, antivirus/spyware) running on your computer.
    3. Don't try to downgrade the iOS version.  This isn't supported
    4. If you EVER tried to hack thie phone or use apps like tinyumbrella, you may have to edit the hosts file on your computer to remove references to gs.apple.com
    5. If your phone has been hacked (jailbroken, iOS downgrade, or unauthorized unlocking), you may not be able to restore the phone to Apple specs again.
    "This device is not eligible for the requested build: Also sometimes displayed as an error 3194. If you receive this error, update to the latest version of iTunes. 3rd party security software or router security settings can also cause this issue, to resolve please follow Troubleshooting security software issues. Downgrading to a previous version of iOS is not supported. If you have installed software to perform unauthorized modifications to your iOS device, that software may have redirected connections to the update server (gs.apple.com) within the Hosts file. For steps to edit the Hosts file and allow iTunes to communicate with the update server, see  iTunes: Troubleshooting iTunes Store on your computer, iPhone, iPad, or iPod; follow steps under the heading Blocked by configuration (Mac OS X / Windows) > Rebuild network information > The hosts file may also be blocking the iTunes Store.  Also, using an older or modified .ipsw file can cause this error. Try restoring moving the current .ipsw file aside, or try restoring in a new user to ensure that iTunes downloads a new .ipsw."

  • My old computer has broken and I had not backed up my Itunes. I now have the hard drive from my old computer but cannot transfer the music. How can I transfer the music from my old hard drive to the new laptop?

    My old computer has broken and I had not backed up my Itunes. I now have the hard drive from my old computer (windows 7) but cannot transfer the music. How can I transfer the music from my old hard drive to the new laptop (windows 8)?

    Copy the entire iTunes folder from \Users\<User>\Music on the old drive into your music folder on the new computer.
    Or see Recover your iTunes library from your iPod or iOS device.

  • Where should itunes folder be located windows 8

    where should my itunes folder be when i installed on pc i put it here Windows 8: C:\Users\username\My Music\iTunes\  put i found another itunes folder in mydoculments folder and it says that is where it was put after itunes 11.  so which one do i need

    See: http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1391
    It may be that you are seeing an alternate path provided for backwards compatibility and there is really only one iTunes folder. The one you should be using is C:\Users\<User>\Music\iTunes. The "My" or "User's" bit gets added on to the name of the Music folder depending on which user you are logged in as, but in reality the folder is simply called Music. Windows Vista and susequent versions attempt to support references to ...<Profile Folder>\My Documents\My Music and redirect to ...<Profile Folder>\Music.

  • Where should itunes content be stored?

    on the operations drive or a separate data drive? I routinely run both Adobe Photoshop and iTunes, and my impresseion is that iTunes seems to work more smoothly when songs and video are stored on the operations drive, but Photoshop runs more smoothly when the iTunes content is stored on a separate data drive? Also, keeping iTunes content on the operations drive seems to reduce the number of issues related to updating itunes and syncing itunes-dependent playlists and the like.
    I've got a new PC with clean drives, and I'd like to get this right the first time.

    If the boot drive is used for things like scratch drives, it can slow the system down (a bit or a lot) because the OS uses the boot drive for swap files and such.
    Do you mean to imply that when itunes accesses content on the 'operations' drive, it does not compromise the performance of other, open applications that are using the c drive for on-going programming operations?
    iTunes does read/write from the HD all the time but it should not noticeably slow down anything.

  • Where should I install the application itself as well as my library (SSD vs. HDD)?

    I have a seperate OS 100GB Sata III SSD drive along with another a 240GB Sata III SSD and then a RAID 0 configuration of two 500GB 7200 regular HDD totalling about 950GB of space.  I want to install Lightroom, Photoshop and Premiere.  Where shoud I put everything for best performance?  The applications could go on the RAID 0 HDD drives and then put my video and picture library on the 240GB Sata III SSD drive.  Wouldn't this allow for faster access to pictures and video since the application itself, once loaded, doesn't need to be accessed as often?  It's been a while since I've used both of these programs. Isn't there also a "scratch" or "cache" directory as well?  Where should I put that for best peformance?

    Yes, the programs use their own cache/ swap files.  Doesn't realyl matter where you put them. All your drivces are fast enough for any single one of them.

  • Running itunes on two pc's with external hard drive library

    Hi All;
    I am working with two laptop pc's, a large external hard drive and my iphone. I am in the process of putting my cd library onto an external hard drive and I plan on plugging the drive into either laptop to play my music library wirelessly using apple airplay. Both laptops are running windows 7 and I use the latest version of iTunes.
    Initially, I transferred my music off my laptop onto the external drive (following the 'consolidate library' process provided in one of the help menus) and then successfully told iTunes where to find the library on my external hard drive (E:/itunes Music). I then did this with the 2nd laptop. Then I resumed downloading music from cd's.
    All of my music is successfully saving to my external hard drive (E:). However, when I download on one laptop and then go to the other, I can't always see all of the albums. I got frustrated, started checking and unchecking things, now I'm sort of lost. iTunes has never been my favorite program.:/
    My questions are below:
    1. Can I use two laptops and my external hard drive interchangeably?
    2. Right now, I get the message 'please choose an iTunes library' but when I direct it to the E: drive and click 'open' it keeps opening into my music files and doesn't open the program. If I try 'create library' I see this:
    3. Now that there is a new library, I see this:
    but previously I had it set to look like this:
    My question is- should I have both boxes checked? Only the top one? What do they mean, anyway?
    Ideas, suggestions and links welcome.
    Thank you!

    Making some assumptions:
    The iTunes Library.itl file located at E:\iTunes Music\Music\iTunes 1 is your current/active database
    When you run iTunes all your media files can be located and will play
    You have free space on your external hard drive - at least as much as currently used for your E:\iTunes Music folder
    If one or more of these are not valid, STOP HERE and report back - some parts of the procedure below would be different.
    Before starting I would strongly suggest taking a backup of your E: drive as insurance against anything not working as it is supposed to.
    Exit iTunes
    Open Windows Explorer and navigate to drive E:
    Select Organize > Folder and Search Options, then the View tab - make sure that the Show hidden files, folders and drives option is selected
    Create a new folder E:\iTunes - this will be the new starting point for your iTunes library
    Navigate to the folder where your library files are currently stored (E:\iTunes Music\Music\iTunes 1) - you've already provided a screenshot of this, but with the Show hidden files, folders and drives option selected you should see one more file:
    (sentinel is a hidden file that iTunes uses while running).
    Select all five files in this folder:
    then right-click > Copy or press Ctrl-C.
    Still in Windows Explorer, navigate to the E:\iTunes folder you created in step 4, then right-click > Paste or press Ctrl-V.  At this point the E:\iTunes folder should look like this:
    Now hold down the Shift key and start iTunes.  You'll get this prompt:
    Click on Choose Library..., navigate to E:\iTunes and select the iTunes Library.itl file (that you just copied into this folder).  Click Open.  iTunes will start and show your library with the same content as before.
    Select Edit > Preferences > Advanced.  Click the Reset button, which will change your iTunes Media folder location to E:\iTunes\iTunes Media, which is what you should want it to be (ignore the I: drive shown here, yours should be E:)
    Click OK - you should get this prompt:
    Click Yes.  This doesn't actually move your files, there's one more step.  Still in iTunes, select File > Library > Organize Library... When you see this prompt:
    check the Consolidate Files box and - if not greyed out - the Reorganize files ... box.  The click OK.  iTunes will now start copying your media files to the new, preferred location and layout.  The time taken to complete this process depends on the size of your library - for a small one it'll be a few minutes; for a large library considerably more.  Allow the process to finish.
    Once complete, your library in iTunes should look exactly as it was before - you should be able to select and play any of your songs/albums.  However, if you right-click > Get Info on any song and select the File tab, you should see that the file location has been updated:
    and if you go to Windows Explorer and navigate to E:\iTunes\iTunes Media you'll see a Music subfolder which in turn contains one folder for each artist:
    In your case the drive reference at the top will be "My Passport (E:)" and the folders listed will be those for your library.
    Successful completion of all these steps should now have brought your library into the "portable" or "well-formed" layout.  Just to make sure everything's working:
    Exit iTunes
    In Windows Explorer, rename your E:\iTunes Music folder to something like "Old iTunes"
    Restart iTunes, without holding down shift.  Your library should be available to you as in step 11 above - however, its worth testing a significant sample of your music just to make sure that everything is in the right place and plays correctly.
    One point I didn't cover is the case where the other (older) iTunes library you have - the one where the iTunes Library.itl file is on the C: drive - may be referencing albums/songs that were not in the library that was on the E: drive and that the procedure described above will bring into a more standard format.  If this is the case then there are a couple of approaches that you can use to merge the two libraries - report back if this is the case.
    If this last point doesn't apply, you can now go ahead and delete the renamed E:\iTunes Music folder - otherwise there will be a few more steps to go through before you can finally get rid of this.
    Finally, once you've completed everything successfully, work out how you're going to create and maintain a backup of your library.  With the approach described above all of iTunes' data is in one place - E:\iTunes.  I would suggest using the method described in turingtest2's notes on Backup your iTunes for Windows library with SyncToy ... remembering that "Hard drives fail.  Always.  You just don't know when its going to happen."
    Apologies for the length of these notes - however, based on your description of your current setup I thought it worth going through all the steps to bring it into a more conventional layout.

  • Should I upgrade to Lion?  Have Mac Pro, 2.66Ghz, Core i7, 4GB memory, S-Leopard, purchased 11-2010.

    Reading alot of comments on problems running Office 2011, Adobe CS5, Parallels etc. My system operates flawlessly - I'd like to migrate to LION but don't want to create a mess.  I've certainly read alot of applause for Lion but haven't seen anyone list the above software as part of their install.  I'd expect there are quite a few users running the same software - just need some testimonial to build my confidence that this is the right move.  Any comments will be greatly appreciated. 
    Thanks!

    Which raises the question of why would you want to upgrade? Lion is largely cosmetic, and a lot of those cosmetic differences are not pretty
    - removal of coloured icons in finder sidebar, making navigation more difficult
    - no scroll bar arrows making navigation more difficult (essential if you need fine control of scrollling to move around in design progs like Illustrator/ Quark),
    - autosave and versions, making everything more difficult through hideous beach balling on large photoimage files in preview or keynote if you make multiple and rapid minor changes
    - dodgy compatibility with some versions of photoshop
    - less control over where to keep your folder (apps have to be assiged to the app folder)
    - less control over what information remains on your hard disk hidden from you (including versions of your personal files).
    - if you use magic trackpad on your MP, you also loose the 4-finger swipe 'app switcher' gesture
    On top of  all these 'features' you get given:
    - mission control, which is less configurable than spaces
    - launchpad, which is effectively the same as having 'stacks' and 'grid' options set on your app folder in the dock, only lunchpad takes over your whole screen and is harder to navigate.
    Now, that's all IMHO opinion, of course. As someone further up in this thread advised, whatever you do use Carbon Copy Cloner or SuperDuper to clone your current installation. If all is to your liking, you can always use that disk as a regular backup drive. If all is not, the way back to your flawless system is just a five-minute reboot away.

  • Where should iTunes database etc. go?

    If I keep my songs on an external hard drive (plugged into my laptop), should I remove all iTunes directories, etc, from my laptop hard drive?
    If not, what files go on the laptop?
    I just installed an update to iTunes, but iTunes still shows the old version, even after closing and reopening iTunes. I also intermittently get the ! in front of songs.

    If you want to move your iTunes Library to an external drive you have to make an exact copy including all the files within that folder, not just the folder containing the music. Then you start iTunes while holding down the option key and you will be asked to choose a Library. Navigate the the Library on the external disk and iTunes will open that (as long as it's valid) and stick with it through future reboots until you choose another Library. You can leave the original Library in place if you like, it makes no difference - iTunes will ignore it until you tell it to use that Library again.
    Note that if your Library is on an external disk you must have that disk mounted before you open iTunes or it won't see the Library.
    A '!' next to songs means that iTunes can't find the media file - if it was in the Library it may have been moved, or if you copied the Library over it didn't bring all the files over - or if you keep your music files outside the iTunes folder ( this is available as an option) you've moved some of the files.

  • Where should I put the sevlet

    I just started to work with Tomcat and I compiled the helloWorld sevlet.
    It's said from a book that the sevlet should be placed in serlver_root/webapps/ROOT/WEB-INF/classes, however there isn't a "classes" folder in my WEB-INF folder. So I put the helloWorld sevlet in the WEB-INF folder.
    Then I type http://localhost:8080/servlet/helloworld in my browser, I get a message from the sever said "The requested resource (/servlet/HelloWorld) is not available".
    Could anybody tell me how can solve this prolbem, where should I put the sevelt?

    have ones more a look to your book - especially to information about the configuration file "web.xml" which also should be placed in the WEB-INF folder. This file defines which servlets should be found by the server and which request-URL should be mapped to this servlet.
    for examples concerning the web.xml file see those already defined in your server. copy one and edit it for your needs. if you really want to understand what else might be configured using web.xml see the DTD for this file - it's pretty good documented!
    hope it helps :)

  • How can I transfer my old iTunes (playlists and all) from the hard drive of my old dead computer to the iTunes of my new one?

    So my old PC died before I managed to back up my iTunes library onto DVDs. I do however have the hard drive from the old PC with all the program files, files and folders on. I also have the iPhone 4, which has my top rated playlist on but that only holds about 20% of my entire music collection on.
    Is it possible to somehow find all my old iTunes music, videos, playlists, podcasts etc and transfer it into the iTunes on the new PC without losing anything?
    Thanks for reading :-)

    Copy the entire iTunes folder from <User's Music> on the old machine into <User's Music> on the new one?
