Disk upgrade - now the iTunes file names point to another partition

I just got a new drive (SSD) mounted on my machine and now because the partitions went on my 'old' hard drive all my iTune file names have changed.

Instead of being _name.mp3 DriveA/folder/file (song), I need to change it to _name.mp3 DriveB/folder/file (song). Is there a simple way to change the iTune system as I have about 550 albums (6 500 songs) in order to manually change them would be extremely difficult?

I run what I think, it's the latest version of iTunes on a Windows system 12.3.2.35 7 Pro 64-bit

If your entire iTunes library is located on the partition of 'DriveB' just hold the SHIFT key when you start iTunes and when you see this message:

Click choose a library... then navigate to and select the file iTunes Library.itl on the score of "DriveB".  This will work as long as your library is in the standard-setting with the iTunes Library.itl file and the iTunes Media contained in the same folder parent folder:

With this iTunes layout can accommodate changes in drive letter from the relative path of the library database in media folders and files is constant.  See tips to the user of turingtest2 on do a split cell library for more information.

BTW, I assumed that you are using 'DriveA' and 'DriveB' just in form of labels for your partitions and do not use drive letters 'A' and 'B' - WIndows still assigns the latter to floppy drives and should not be used for anything else.

  • How to recover the original file names?

    Hello! Please help me.


    Accidentally, I changed the names of the videos that I used for Adobe Premiere. So now, every time I open the folder Adobe Premiere, videos are missing and replaced with a red screen "media disconnected". Is there any way I can recover the original file names without having to do it manually one by one?


    I tried to go back to a restore point, but it does not work. I can't locate too because I don't remember which video is which.


    I already edited almost 50 videos in this project it would take me a loooot of time to start all over again. :((


    Hope you can help me.

    If I understand you correctly, you changed the name of the file in Windows and can't remember what used to be file names. You have modified these in Premiere Pro, and now the project files, that you created do not know where to find the video files.

    Is this correct?

    If so, I may have a simple solution for you.

    Assuming that you're not maxing out every file so that they are all exactly the same length, the number of minutes and seconds and images should get you where you want to go. Almost as unique as a fingerprint on my PC, but I never capture a bunch of videos which are identical in time - although it is possible to do, I guess.

    Open a project file. Checking the properties of each file should reveal the name of file theoriginal and duration, which is also available directly on the thumbnail image (see image below).  Open the media browser, then look at the times on each clip. This should be enough to help you either republish or change the Windows name to what it was originally. It's always one at a time, but it shouldn't take too long. A pen and paper could help 50 videos.

  • Cannot delete a file in windows 7. Indicates the specified file name is not valid or too long.

    Hello everyone, I'm pretty stuck here. I can't delete a file in windows 7 or any other do with it besides. Says "the specified file name is not valid or too long. It has a funny name [~ t] and no extension. The file type, say "file". The properties are all screwed looking with a mistake on the Security tab, a size of 0 k, is a Windows (c) \Windows\en-US.The other files in this folder appear normal. The computer seems to work very well without any obvious problems. The only problem is my anti-virus reports with a kind of syntax for the file error and indicates it cannot parse this file. I do not. I can't do a thing with it either. Cannot open, rename, move, delete, change passwords, properties, permissions, nothing. It may be necessary for a good part with 0kb. According to me, I want to just delete the thing. Please, anyone? Thanks in advance.

    Hey bud, I figured out how fix it earlier. I am so happy. I came to remember a command called chkdsk which worked very well for various issues, that I had since the construction of my old 2000 Professional machine. I think that one was my first NTFS system. I always liked how well he error correction. Seemed a lot better than the old scandisk. Low and behold, I tried and star ANISE, it is went through it, found this file almost from the beginning of the analysis and a few lines later, he said has been removed. Says something about the file being orphaned some time ago. It was a very bad child, that I tell you. I ran it in safe mode command prompt. I guess he would have done the same thing in the normal windows well, but I happened to be in safemode, when it came to me. I used the switch /f with her. Since the C:\ command prompt or any drive letter your operating system is selected, type CHKDSK/F if I remember although the f was to have it automatically CORRECT errors. I hope this info helps others with their file or disk problems. It seems that many people say they get mistakes and cannot delete various files here in these forums. Thanks Sandeep for answering me and try to help. It does not matter whether or not it was the fix, it takes time to post and your helping people learn to be it. The only thing that remains unanswered for me is actually the thing of the answer. I mean I can't say someone at - it really answered my question and do not count me? Maybe I should mark so that people will bother to read it and get the fix. HMMMM... I come back here some time later and see whats up.  SeeYou, EWOO

  • Need to re - register a completed form on in Acrobat Reader and keep the same file name.

    I did collect a form developed for our client in. They need to access and save it several times without making several versions.

    Now that they can open, fill out some fields and "save under" a different file name. They must then go back and edit or add additional information to train at a later date.

    He won't let not the re - save the file with the same file name, only "save under". It is not very practical because they will end up with many versions of the same shape and all earlier versions would be obsolete and useless for them.

  • File Express dialog box won't let me enter the new file name

    I try to use the writing of XML file.vi to write a file which may be an existing file, but it may be new.  I would like to than the default to provide so that the user can simply click OK.  I would also like to provide my own text to the top of the window.

    Writing to an XML file is not enough entries to do so I thought I'd use the Express VI from file dialog box to do this.  I provide the startup path and the default name etc.  But when I run my VI and type a new file name a window pops up saying: (new name of file) file not found.  Please check that the correct file name was given.  Ok.

    I don't see any way around that.

    Any help much appreciated.

  • How do you keep Windows automatically passing the entire file name when editing?

    When I copy a file to a folder and rename the file, that I right click once on the file name to select it and again to place the cursor where I want to change the name in the name of the original file.  However, until I'm able to start typing the computer automatically highlights the entire file name, so that when I start typing deletes the original file name and replace it with what I typed.  Is there a way to avoid this and allow me to change the name of original rather than delete it and start from scratch?

    If I press ESC to restore the original name and follow the same steps again, that it allows me to change the name of the original file as you wish.  That is to say, I see only this product the first time I try to change the file name.

    After he highlights the entire name, press any cursor movement: home, end, left arrow, right arrow key.  Who will be development of the United Nations name and allow you to move the cursor in the right place to start to edit. Boulder computer Maven

  • transfer with catalog will use the same file name

    Hello everyone, I evaluate the cloud of Lightroom version. I have a MacBook that I use on a trip to import and did a first job on my photos, so I have a home NAS at home where store pictures and do most of the work.

    I want to transfer RAW files, but all the work with the MacBook on the NAS, I tried to use "export as catalog" and then "import a catalog" with options to move the files, it works but it keep the old file name and it does not put them in a folder with a different name. For example, if on my Mac, I work with a folder named '2015' and then transfer into a folder with the same name on the NAS Server everything works fine, but if I made a folder called 'photos' to work on the MacBook, and then I want to transfer everything on my NAS under the folder "Hawaii", everything is put under Hawaii\photos\ instead of Hawaii\

    I'm having a hard time understand what you did. But the best thing to do would be to highlight all the images in the Hawaii\photos folder and drag them to the folder of Hawaii. You can simply delete the folder of pictures and everything should happen as you wish. Do all the going in Lightroom and it should be simple and quick.

  • Lightroom CC adds "-2" before the extension to the import file name with rename

    For some reason, my Nikon D7200 is producing filenames with a underscore ("_DSC0001.nef").  No problem.  What I'm trying to do is to rename the files during import.  I set up a model as follows:

    Rename.jpg

    Instead of getting 'HJRW_20150907_DSC0001 '. NAVE' I get 'HJRW_20150907_DSC0001-2. NAVE.

    I deleted the files from Lightroom and reimported as COPY or MOVE, and get the same thing.  How to remove the Lightroom file name suffix is added?

    Thank you

    Problems of conversion of PDF to MS Word document.  I managed to convert 4 files and now the subsequent files generate a "Conversion failed" error when you try to convert the file.  I have a big manuscript and I separated each chapter to help the conversion; as I said, the first 4 pieces without problem, then the conversion failure.  I tried to convert the document integer and same result.  Specifically, I bought the feature export to Word.  Please help.  I had initially export the Word Perfect PDF document and attempting to pass PDF to MS Word.

    Hi sdr2014,

    I'm sorry to hear that your conversion process is at a standstill. It seems that the problem is not specific to a single file, you have been unable to convert anything, since the first four chapters of a correct conversion.

    So, let's try this:

    If you want to convert via the ExportPDF site, please sign out, clear the browser cache, and then reconnect. If you use the drive, please choose Help > updates to ensure that you have installed the latest version.

    Please let us know how it goes.

  • Synchronize the folder removes the PNG files if there is a JPG file that has the same file name

    I often use the folder to synchronize and noticed that he tries to delete my PNG file if there is a JPG file that has the same file name. There is no problem with their import, Assembly, etc...

    The only solution is to disable the ' Remove missing photos in the catalog "on the prompt window synchronize folder so it does not remove it catalog.

    I have the latest version of Lightroom for Windows (v5.6) but it happened in previous versions on both Mac and PC.

    If someone has noticed this?
