Change the location of saved. ITL file after transfer

Hello

I just finished the rather painful process of migration of my iTunes library from my old PC to a new MacBook Pro.

In summary:

1. ITunes media folder. ITL file etc. was in a portable State on a hard drive external. Later transfer to the new Mac, it's still intend to keep the folder iTunes media external hard disk and connect via the USB port because of the size of my library.

2. After discussion with the Apple today I had to drag the. ITL file on the desktop to open it with iTunes as the external hard drive has locked the file because of a problem in good shape on the external hard drive. Once transferred to the privileges of office has been modified and the file installed. This opens the library that I had saved before transfer to the Mac and when I then entered on the Options tab Advanced preferences and indicated the location of the support on the hard drive folder, iTunes began to organize my files, keeping them on the hard drive where I wanted to.

So far so good, however need to clean things up a bit and I have noticed some problems and I was hoping someone may be able to help?

BC. ITL file is now save on my desktop, and album artwork, iTunes genius media library of the (empty), iTunes folder etc.

Multimedia content is located on the external HARD drive when I want him to stay and it is correctly indicated. I guess it's something to do with the fact that I have loaded the. File ITL of my office through the 'Alt Hold, open iTUnes, select the file".

B. I want the. ITL file etc to save the standard position on my MAC in the music folder with other files from the library and not be on my desk. The music on the Mac folder already contains an old. ITL file and the files that had been initially tried because of problems of transfer of the library from scratch and I now need to do away with these.

Sorry if it's a bit lengthy but wanted to paint a complete picture.

In summary, what am I therefore seeks to achieve?

1. the files that are currently save to the desktop. ITL etc. will now save in their suitable location on the MAC, crush the obsolete files that are in the folder music on Mac and are not necessary. I tried to drag these to a new location, however when I boot iTunes again, it creates a new set of files on the desktop.

2. multimedia content remains on the disk external DRIVE where it is currently pointing, and I guess that no further action is required?

Fortunately no more moves will be necessary during a period of long date, (I hope)

Appreciate ate your help people

Read all the iTunes files and their standard organization:

On the iTunes library files - https://support.apple.com/HT201610 - does not mention that a complete library of work also includes other files and also files in the iTunes folder.

What are all these files in iTunes? - http://www.macworld.com/article/139974/2009/04/itunes_files.html

Where are my iTunes files located? - http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1391

You can get back in the correct directory, then re - structure start iTunes with the option key method and that it points to the library file in your new organization.  She still needs to use media on the external hard drive. However, this reader concerns me.  If you used with a PC you probably used the disk to NTFS. iTunes will be able to read these files, but will not be able to modify them if you try to change track to a file on that drive information.

  • Cannot change the location of the RIP file in Windows Media Player after losing Windows Home Server

    I got my place to rip on my windows-based server that had catestrophic failure. So I went to another WHS that I have. But since then, I could not change the location of the file rip in my Media Player.

    It seems that the problem is that it fails to find the location of the old server, gone, when I switch to tab EXTRACT music in WMP options. I say this because it take a long time to draw only a tab. And when I click the button change under music Rip to this place, it does nothing. I get no errors, but nothing happens. It is as if I never pressed the button. There is no delay or anything. And I can go and do other things immediately.

    How can I convince Media Player than the location should not be verified so I can put a new location to rip music to?

    Hello

    Thanks for the reply. I tried the steps you recommended. But unfortunately, it has not changed the problem.

    However, she, it was pretty clear that something of the old MSS was always in the way. You could tell by the delay that made the selection of menu. So I went in MP, to organize - manage the music library. And sure enough, still listed as the default location is the old MSS. I've selected and tap on delete. Without delay, he removed and automatically changed the default location to a local drive. Problem solved! Now I can put my location of rip at ESM again and all is well again.

    Thanks again for your help.

  • You can change the location of the automatic backup folder after creating a project on the first CC 2015?

    Trying to figure out from there is a way to change the location of the automatic backup folder after a project has already been created and the location of the automatic backup has been chosen. The reason for this is because we have an active work with a project that has been meet with an "unknown error" while he was trying to save on our server and also prevents form Auto-Save save projects. After you create a new project on the disk of the local computer and the Auto-Save in the same place, we decided later that we could like and the Auto-Save to live on two separate discs. I was wondering if there is a way to move the AutoSave folder without having to make a whole new project and copy everything on him. I searched through previous assignments, and even if current discussions focus on setting up an automatic backup location, I can't find all the topics related to the evolution of a current configuration.

    Thank you

    Stu-

    You just go to the project settings dialog box and change when the AutoSave file is defined.

    A couple of things about the Auto-save...

    -It waits a few seconds in action, so if you have a busy beaver editor constantly change things he could not AutoSave for quite a while...

    -automatic backup fact that both 'levels' it is wise to use Save-as to increment your project as you advance. So you can be sure that if you are on the last edit to the project AND... If corruption occurs, you have previous increments of work regardless of their deletion.

    Thank you

    Not really. There are a few considerations
    1. If you already have data, changing the location will not change when the existing data. you need to erase the data and the re - export import.
    2. you must make sure that you stop and restart the application before doing step 1, but after changing the location of the file
    3. If you have a backup routine, make sure that you change where it picks up the page and index of files to back up

  • How can I change the location of the files? (buffers, history)

    I want to change the location of my history and my SSD to a flashdisk buffers. [Reason: to overcome the wear and back on my SSD.] How can I do this?
    Open question: what other locations of files (paths) I should change?

    You can disable the disk cache by using "Clear history of Firefox closing" to clear the Cache.

    You can check that on the topic: cache page (entry of the disk cache is missing).

    History and bookmarks are stored in the same file and cannot be separated.

    You'd have to move the complete record of the Firefox profile to this other player or use the private browsing mode.

    It's probably a good idea to regularly make backups of valuable profile in case of disk failure data.

    Flash drives also do not last forever and are also generally slower.

  • You cannot change the location of the Web site folder

    Greetings,

    When I change the location of the Web sites folder in the server application by changing ' Store Site Files In: ", the files in the default location of continue to load and not those of the location, I've specified. The location, I put is saved in the server application. I can leave the Server app and start again and see the location I specified, but it does not use this place.

    Thank you

    Read https://help.apple.com/serverapp/mac/5.1/#/apd1AB74EDF-C5B3-4C20-AD02-42120FF3B2 08 and try to stick to these principles as much as possible.

    The steps under does not include the method to change the location of the root folder, as Apple has as focus not exactly that.

    Add or change Web pages on your Web site

    To change what is available on the Web site, change the files in the folder to root for the document to your Web site. Folder document root is the folder that contains your website files.

    Use the server application to find the root of your Web site. Default document root is/Library/Server/Web/Data/Sites/Default /. In addition, when you create a site and let the application Server automatically creates a new folder for you, he places the site filesin/library/server/Web/Sites/data/domain_name/.

    1. Selection of sites in the sidebar the Server app.
    2. Select the Web site, and then click the button change .
    3. Click the arrow to the left of the menu pops - up Store Site files in. The Finder opens at the location the document root. Edit files in this folder to change what is available on the Web site.

    They wanted to provide a foolproof server where effective MDM can be performed. Therefore, they went very far to ensure that it should not be messed with. The integrity of services that ensures the effective management of Apple devices are paramount.

    Therefore, I think that you try unfairly to move the part of the services and server would not allow you to do so, as the Profile Manager and Wiki should still work after you have set up to host your Web sites (which Apple documentation referred to as virtual hosts).

    Thus, you need to configure the "Virtual Hosts" with their root of the document.

  • Impossible to change the location of backup to external hard drive

    * Original title: backup location

    I need to change the location of backup on an external hard drive (I).  When I go into Control Panel, backup and support, it seems that the location is currently (D).  To change this, I select 'change settings '.  Then, the computer opens a new window for "Set up Backup" and begins to launch.  However, whenever I try to do the answer comes back that the computer is unable to start the program because of the error (0 x 80080005) of running the server.  I don't know what to do from here.  Can anyone offer any guidance?  Thank you.

    Hi Janis,

     
    The probable cause of this problem could arise from the security of the software interrupt services to change backup settings.
     
    I suggest you follow the methods below and check if it helps:
     
    Method 1: Temporarily disable the antivirus on the computer running software and check if you are able to change the backup location.
    Reference: turn off the antivirus software

    Warning: Antivirus software can help protect your computer against viruses and other security threats. In most cases, you should not disable your antivirus software. If you need to disable temporarily to install other software, you must reactivate as soon as you are finished. If you are connected to the Internet or a network, while your antivirus software is disabled, your computer is vulnerable to attacks.

    If Mode 1 has not resolved the issue try MOde 2 which follows below:

     
    Method 2: Put the computer in a clean boot state, and then try to change the location of backup on your external hard drive again:
