I can't change the location of the iTunes library

I used iTunes with my Mac Mini, and all the music and video have been stored in the main hard drive. As I added a 120 GB SSD inside the Mini and installed OS X (El Capitan) in it, I want to change the default location my iTunes library in the folder iTunes, in the old disk, because I want only the OS X and applications of this SSD because its space is short. But when I go into iTunes preferences I change the location of the media file, iTunes nothing happens. In the iTunes folder, I found the following:

A folder called Album art

A folder called automatically added to iTunes

Files (all grayed out):

iTunes Library Extras.itdb

iTunes Libraty Genius.itdb

The iTunes Music folder

A class (grayed) called: iTunes Music Library.xml

A folder called Mobile Applications

A folder called Previous iTunes Libraries

Any help? I tried several options but I could not.

First of all make sure that you really understand what is a library. It is not the location of the media file.  That just tells iTunes where to store any media added from there.  For most people, a library is all the contents of the iTunes folder.

Looks like your old drive still has various parameters of authorization in this regard.  On my other computer, I used several discs and in the window of Finder read information for each player, I've marked to ignore permissions on my data drives.

  • How can I change the iTunes music player?

    I cloned my hard drive for an SSD earlier, so I have 2 identical copies of my library of music on the c: / (my new SSD) and E: drive / (my old hard drive). I want to delete all my music from my SSD and iTunes play entirely from the drive hard, how can I achieve this?

    I tried to delete the folder of drive C (C:\Users\X\Music) iTunes and force iTunes to load the library to drive E (by displacement of opening and choosing the new library), but it always comes back to play the files media located on C. I spent a lot of time manually organize my library, unfortunately that's not as simple as moving the iTunes Media folder since none of my music is there. I also tried, but it always ends up reading files on the C drive:

    Simply, what I want to do is change iTunes somehow to run to E: / my music and not C: / My Music. All paths are the same, it's just the drive letter, I want to change.

    Thanks for any help.

    See make a library of portable split. Looks like you're almost there. If your media is not in the standard support folder but up to in E:\Users\\Music which will be the reason why it did not work. You are really attached to your manual organization? It would not be acceptable to have your media to E:\iTunes\iTunes Media\?

    How can I change the PC than the 6s iPhone more synchronizes to, both wireless and when plugged in? I recently upgraded my PC. I have restored my backup of iTunes on the new computer and it works fine. The iPhone, however, is waiting to synchronize wirelessly to the PC that I no longer use, and iTunes does not recognize my iPhone when I plug.

  • Satellite L50 - B - 12 G - can't change the brightness of the display

    Hi people,

    For some reason that I can't find out, since yesterday I can not change the brightness on my deskop.
    It's a Satelite L50 - B - 12 G with Windows 8.1, 64 bit.

    (F2 and F3) function key does not move the scroll bar, and when I try the same thing on the control panel is like this:
    It is not simply to change the brightness

    At the same time, when I'm with an open office document or on a web page, don's work the cursor as usual... it is slower to move from one cell to another cell in Excel for example.
    The sane is to arrive with the page down key.

    Can anyone help on this? It becomes very annoying.

    Best regards
    Jose

    How did you try to increase or decrease the brightness of the screen?
    Did you press the FN key also?

    Well, as you said the F2 and F3 keys increases or decreases the brightness of the display
    The extra pressure of the FN button depends on the key mode feature which is located in:
    Office Assist-> tools & utilities-> Control Panel-> keyboard

    Permit special mode button allows you to use special features without pressing the FN key.

    That's why I recommend that you check this setting!

  • How can I change the color of the plots (lines, points) in the collection Scattergraph plot

    For example, I go through a foreach loop and draw two points. How to distinguish this set of plots of the yet to come? How can I change the style, color and have separate lines (instead of on the line connecting everything) for each of my plots? I don't know how to set everything up, but it still does what he wants to do. TIA.

    Hello

    The problem you see occurs because of the following lines of code:

    The _data and _data2 scatterPlot3 value

    _data = scatterPlot3

    _data2 = scatterPlot3

    When you do this, you define _data as _data2 to reference an object of the simple concession - scatterPlot3.  Yes, even if you have (from the code you have posted at least) three slots in your collection, they are all pointing to the same object of point cloud.  So when you change the color for one, it changes the color for them all.  However, I think that you have fallen on the right solution in your last sentence.  If you want to have multiple locations on your ScatterGraph, each with its own color and style, they should each be separate and unique plots in the collection plot of your ScatterGraph.  Based on the code you posted, you'll see this if you comment just the two lines shown above.

    Please let me know if something is still uncertain.

    Hi imoffshore,

     

    Welcome to Microsoft Answers Forums.

    We would like to get some more information from you to help solve your problem. You better, please answer the following questions.

    ·         When was the last time it worked?

    ·         Remember to make changes to the computer recently?

    ·         You have security software installed on the computer?

    ·         You get the error message?

    When you open the tab automatic updates in the control panel or My Computer property sheet, all options of configuration of the automatic updates may be grayed out. This happens due to one of the following reasons:

    1. You are not logged as administrator (or equivalent)
    2. Strategy of automatic updates is enabled
    3. Automatic updates (and Windows Update) access is blocked by group policy

    The options available for automatic updates.

    You must make some changes in the windows registry.

    Important: this section, method, or task contains steps that tell you how to modify the registry. However, serious problems can occur if you modify the registry incorrectly. Therefore, make sure that you proceed with caution. For added protection, back up the registry before you edit it. Then you can restore the registry if a problem occurs.
