How can I CREATE an iTunes library on the external drive of Thunderbolt

I am creating an iTunes library for music & movies on an external hard drive LaCie d2 Thunderbolt 4 to. I copied all my movies on external hard drive, but cannot create a name of folder that iTunes will recognize that the library. I have a new mac mini OSx EL Capitan facility, there is NO file (movie or music) stored in the iTunes library on mac. I don't HAVE NO copy the old iTunes library since (OS crashed) & I want the external drive to the library. I tried several times to iTunes directly on the external drive, but it does not find the movies. (This is the file created: Volumes/LaCie/iTunes:iTunes Media), & this is the name of the folder on the LaCie external drive I am trying to get iTunes to serve library (iTunes/iTunes Media). I searched for hours to find info on this, but each article explains how to MOVE or COPY the old library (create a). I am over 50 years & not a computer guru, so please do not criticize my ignorance & please be more specific on the steps to go through as possible! Any help would be greatly appreciated! Thank you.

Launch iTunes with down option, click on create a library and drag the movie files in the Finder in the application window open iTunes or automatically add to iTunes folder.

    You can create a scrolling movement where the image fade out the scroll, you must use the tab opacity under the effects of scroll Panel.

    If you need especially be blur on the image, then you must change this image in any editing program like blurry image to make a copy of this image, then place the two images (real and blurry) on this page and use the scrolling motion or fade option to replace the images.

  • How can I reinstall windows 7 after replacing the hard drive?

    How can I reinstall windows 7 after replacing the hard drive? do I have to call microsoft or I can retrieve it somehow to the old hard drive?

    Well, that certainly puts a different point of view on this subject.

    There are data recovery services that can recover data from disks that have suffered from various types of failures. However, they are quite expensive. Unless the data is particularly useful, it is generally not useful.

    If your Windows 7 is an OEM version, installed on the computer when you bought it, the manufacturer could have a recovery disk on sale. If it was a retail copy and you always have the appropriate product/serial number, you can get a DVD of their team of parts replacement.

  • How can I keep my iTunes library to a new installation of iTunes?

    Hello

    I got a new SSD and re-installed Windows 7 and all my software, including iTunes.

    I have my iTunes Library (iTunes Media folder) on a data reader and now I reinstalled iTunes and I want to keep the old library, so in the preferences, I put my iTunes library to the path leading to my old iTunes library, but the music still does not appear in iTunes. The only music that shows it's the music purchased from the iTunes store, but no CD-imports are shown.

    I hope someone can help me with this,

    Thanks in advance!

    Lars

    If you have the iTunes database files, launch iTunes with the SHIFT key pressed and select the library that contain. If you can't seem to them, made the iTunes Media folder inside the application window open iTunes or automatically add to iTunes folder; all the old library metadata that are lost.

  • How can I get my iTunes library is displayed on my new Macbook Pro?

    I have a new macbook pro. my old macbook crashed. I try to access my iTunes library to my new computer and am not succeed. I have "authorized" this computer, but it does not appear on my list "manage devices" in iTunes. Any suggestions?

    Hi KathShan,

    I understand that you have a problem with access to your music on your MacBook Pro. Let's see if we can get this sorted out.

    If you use Apple iTunes game or music, then you will need to make sure you have iCloud active library. I opened iTunes preferences and on the general tab, you should see iCloud music library and make sure that it is checked. After that, your library will appear.

    Take a look at the article below, but also a screenshot to preferences iTunes for more details.

    https://support.Apple.com/en-us/HT204926

    If you use any music from Apple or iTunes game, then you will only be able to download your past purchases. If you can somehow have access to your old iTunes library, you can transfer them to your new Mac. Take a look at two articles that talk about this.

  • How can I move my iTunes Library to External Hard Drive?

    I googled cela but can't seem to find what I'm looking for...

    I want to leave my iTunes library in all my Windows PC for a hard drive external and I want to keep it there because it does not fit on my new Macbook Air. I'm happy to plug every time that I would use my iTunes library.

    I found the instructions step by step online, but I would like to know what happens if you never had the option "Copy files to iTunes Media folder when adding to library" checked. This way only future additions will be copied in my folder or it will copy all my previous music? I took a peek in the folder and my latest addition isn't here so I guess that it copies only future additions to the library. Is this correct?

    If so, how to get all my music in one folder so I can copy it to my hard drive? (Yes, I confess that my music seems to be scattered in my PC)

  • How can I restore backup iTunes library?

    I have a Macbook Pro that I just reimagee with Yosemite.  I copied the folder iTunes backup to the new image (60 GB) but the only thing that sees iTunes's songs, movies, etc. that I bought on the iTunes store.  What should I do to restore my entire library and playlists?

    Did you put it back exactly in the same place with the default name?  If this isn't the case, hold down the option/ALT key at startup of iTunes and select the .itl file in the iTunes folder.

  • I can keep in my iTunes library to another hard drive?

    I want to spend my videos, movies, and Podcasts files on an external drive and free space on my disk flash SSD internal. Is this possible? How can I do?

    You can, but it requires more effort to manage it this way. You can temporarily declare a new iTunes Media folder in iTunes > Preferences > advanced but not consolidate if you are prompted to do so after the change. And then select the content you want to consolidate, and the context menu to consolidate the files. Open the location of the original file in the Finder and delete the now redundant copies of the material you consolidated to the other disk. Finally restore the media folder in iTunes > Preferences > advanced. Repeat if you add new content.

    I suggest you might be better to move the entire library as a unit. For more information, see make a library of portable split .

  • How can I create an event listener for the change of variable shared or similar?

    Hello

    I have a 'big' 6 devices communicating measurement system via the TCP protocol. The system is designed to use REST (the representative State transfer) with JSON (JavaScript object notation).

    Now, I need to add labview program to this environment. I've implemented a solution to 'work' with the help of this forum. Thank you for this! Now, I need to do better (currently no timestamps, large delays, etc.).

    I currently have a web service deployed using http-get as input. My web service .vi is just passing the web entrance to shared variables that are then questioned in real measurement program. Reason is that when I put the measurement program directly to the web service, it does not (something about rights and dependencies). Measurement program includes one third of the owners (Instron) drivers. Also I would not direct access via the network to our mechanical testing device potentially dangerous.

    Now, I want to change the message from the web services .vi commensurate .vi. Currently I have a loop of 10ms to query for changes in the shared variable. Is there a better way to do this? I thought create a listener to the shared variable change events.

    In addition, if you have any ideas (preferably, working code example) how to make the interface between labview and TCP-JSON I would really appreciate it.

    BR,

    Currently in LabVIEW, the only way to create an event listener or event NSV is to use the DSC toolkit.  Most of the time the DSC is a very expensive tool that simply encapsulates the functionality that is built into the motor of the PSP and OAS and which is accessible to anyone who can program in LabWindows/CVI.

    http://zone.NI.com/reference/en-XX/help/370051P-01/CVI/libref/cvicnvcreatesubscriber/

    If you want to collaborate, I would like to create a small library of LV that would create a base SV events using a vi LV reminder or possibly passing return user LV event which is how works the DSC toolkit.  I asked OR several times to explain how do this and they're very tight discreet about it.  I guess that they do not want to give users LV less reason to buy the DSC.
