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 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)

  • SOS! HOW CAN I MOVE MY PROJECT PPCS6 IN ANOTHER HARD DRIVE?

    Help, please!

    I have the first of my documentary in 10 days and it is not yet finished. I worked full time... but HARD DISC of the PC makes weird noises and often fails causing the computer restart... I'm afraid of that HARD drive is about to break up permanently soon.

    I can't risk and I bought a new HARD drive... but I'm not sure of my PPCS6 project will work well if I start working in a new HARD drive.

    I read all along and only solution I found is to the 'project leader'... but then it says "size of project result (estimate): 330 GB"... who is just crazy.»

    I'm now back up the preview of the project files folder to the new HARD drive, but I don't know that he's going to be enough.

    Please, I beg you! Any who put little light in this complicated situation!

    How can I continue to work in my project to a new HARD drive and finish my documentary?

    Thanks in advance for your help, it is really necessary now!

    Miguel

    Welcome! Yes, the project file contains everything you have changed: the sequence, effects, and transitions that you have applied, and also titles that you have created. If you open the project copied on the same pc with the same version first, but HARD drive different, the project will work the same as it used to.

    First also offers a lot of customization, as rendering, effect presets, keyboard presets, presets layout sequence, custom workspace (the window layout) that are not only related to a project, but to the program in general. You can save these files too. in the folder

    User > Documents > Adobe > Premiere Pro > 8.7 or 6 > user profile >

    You find presets for effects (.prfpset)

    Keyboard layouts (file Win)

    Personalized workspace (record layout)

    However, this is only relevant if you reinstall first or your entire system or you want to work in another computer with the same settings.

  • iTunes library to external hard drive works on pc and mac

    Hello world

    I have 1 pc and mac 2. I also use the music library to icloud. However, it depends on the internet connection.

    so, I was wondering if I can put the "itunes library" file on each laptop, the "itunes media" while on the external hard drive?

    My idea is to use an external hard drive whenever I want to use the laptop. so I don't need to broadcast through library icloud music. Moreover, I need an external hard drive and itunes library to work on pc and mac.

    Cheers!

    See make a library of portable split. You will need either a for OS X NTFS driver or driver for HFS + for Windows in order to use the drive with an operating system. Also note that there is a delay when you first launch after passage of one BONE to the other.

    My C:\ drive becomes low in space so I want to move some programs on my external hard drive.  Can I do this without any problem?

    You can install programs on an external hard drive. Moving programs is a little more complicated. You must install them out of their current location and re - install the new.

    You want to do it "without problems". It is not so easy. If the program is correctly installed on the external drive and at a later date, the unplugged drive problems might appear. To be re-connected, in some circumstances, the player will be given a letter from different player than before. The program will become unusable until this that deleted and reinstalled. Similar problems can occur according to the habits of functioning.

    So, Yes, it is possible, but it is not recommended.
