  No, but your best work of iTunes and iPhoto libraries should not be on the same drive as the backup. A drive can fail at any time.

• How can I move the mail to an external drive or a similar place of ediscovery?

  I have a summons for my emails to a certain company. How to separate my their email inbox and put them on an external support to provide for the lawyers?

  You should check with the lawyers, what types of files, they are satisfied. They may prefer something like PDF.

  File | Register under allows you to specify the file type. I would say .eml because it gives a copy verbatim.

  Drag / move to a folder on your computer normally gives the same result.

  If you have a lot of messages to export like that, I would use the ImportExportTools add-on - we.

  https://addons.Mozilla.org/en-us/Thunderbird/addon/ImportExportTools/

  It also gives you a PDF option if appropriate.

  But you do, you may find that it's cleaner to do a specific folder in Thunderbird and copy all relevant messages in this folder. Then you can export this folder as a procedure for blocking simple file copy/transfer, having already separated and organized. This folder will also remind you what you have sent to them and help you spot any omissions.

• Movement music from itunes to a new external drive

  Hello!

  So there are a lot of questions in the face of this general problem, but I found no one who comes close to my situation.

  There are at present all music from my iTunes (~1.4 TB) library is shared between two external drives. I just bought a new laptop (3 TB) and would like to move - preferably not copy, I know that straight-up moving items between volumes is possible in the terminal, I don't know the right commands - all this music to the new drive. My iTunes Library.itl and the rest of the folder iTunes at the same time, are on my computer, I don't know if we keep them there or move them as well.

  I use any file "iTunes Media. Most of my library is rips of CD and downloads without loss, and I prefer to keep the organized myself (as including scans of records covers music and writing notes and other information about the record such as comments). "Keep iTunes Media folder organized" and "Copy the files into the iTunes Media folder when adding to library" is, therefore, both uncontrolled. And I think that naming a new file on the new drive as "iTunes Media" and then checking "Consolidate files" in the file > library > organize library to copy all the music she would keep the folder structure I created or transfer through the images, log files, PDF files, etc..

  Can anyone advise on what would allow me to do this with a minimum of disruption to my iTunes library (IE not having to add all and recreate all my playlists, etc., which, in itself, would take another hours 20, or whatever on top of the amount of time it will take to move all files?)

  Thanks in advance!

  OS X 10.7.5 / iTunes 12.1.2.27

  If you want iTunes to do the work (as expected), let iTunes do its work...    That would mean designate a location on the new drive for the iTunes Media folder (in the Advanced iTunes preferences pane) by using the command to "consolidate files" (-> library menu bar-> organize the library-> consolidate the files).

  IF all your current iTunes media on the external drive files are on a SINGLE volume (not two), you can copy your folder structure complete (for your iTunes media files) to the new volume of external hard drive (using the Finder).  Then with iTunes works DO NOT, unplug the old external drive and rename the new external drive exactly the same name volume as the old volume of external drive.  Basically, do the new disc looks like the old drive to iTunes.  When you run iTunes, the "routes" to its multimedia files are the same as before, so iTunes sees no difference.

  But since your iTunes media is 'shared between two external drives', you can't do it cleanly.  If a part is much more important, you could do the above with the majority only.  Now, at this point, you can use it in this way, with the new external drive as your main expansion of storage in course, and existing 'other' always connected player.  In iTunes, it seems again the same as before.

  If you want that all your media files to iTunes on the new external drive...  Copy this second folder (with your smallest part of iTunes media) structure to the new external drive (using the Finder).  With iTunes doesn't work DO NOT, unplug the 'other' external drive.  When you run iTunes, it loses track of media files in this part (but keep those songs with exclamation point in the library).  This next part may or may not work.  When iTunes spot is no longer a song file, when you try to play it, iTunes will ask if you want to locate.  I heard that if you do this for a song (by pointing to the new location for this piece), iTunes can extrapolate the locations for the other files 'disappeared' of the song.  If it does not work with the first song (or partially works), try to do it for a little more.  Worst case, you will need to add the songs in the smaller part manually.

• How can I recover iTunes library on an external hard drive

  Stupidly I deleted my iTunes library earlier today and fight to get it back. (All purchased songs always appear but all songs imported from CDs are gone). I deleted the library and then empty the trash. I have a update on my external hard drive last night so hope I can restore my library iTunes from my external hard drive, but can't get it. Have tried, as a result of aid, online articles, but I do not get any further...

  So far, I saved my iTunes backup folder on my desktop iMac. There was a suggestion to open iTunes, while holding down the SHIFT key (keyboard of Windows) and this should allow me to create a new library or open an existing one - none of these options appeared, my result was iTunes open normally and showing all my purchased songs. The other suggestion is to open iTunes - file - Library - Library to import the backup file, but also no results.

  It seems it should be easy but... not for me to do something. Can anyone offer advice that does not suggest that I have to re - import all the music?

  Thanks in advance

  The file that you must replace is located in the following location.

  / Users/USERNAME/music/iTunes/iTunes Media/Music

  Just replace the one on your Mac with the library you want. Don't forget, it's only music, not any what other apps, videos etc., if you want to replace it, replace the entire iTunes Media.
