I need to move my music folder on my other hard drive on my C:

Hi I need to move my music from my 'c' drive files in order to free up space, how do I change where WMP and iTunes find music?

Hi Matthewfox,

Are you referring to the default music folder or another folder created?

I suggest you to follow the steps and check if it helps.

Method 1: See the link and check if it helps.
Add items to the Windows Media Player library

Method 2: To move a special folder to another drive or path, follow these steps:
(a) first create the destination folder
(b) click the Start button
(c) the special folder (Documents, music, or pictures) then right-click and choose Properties
(d) click on the location tab
(e) click on move, then select target folder
(f) click on apply
(g) click Yes when you are prompted to move the files to the new location
(h) click OK

  • I need to move my pictures from internal to external hard drive... help please!

    Hello!  I use a MacBook Air OX Yosemite 10.10.5.  I need disk space and have already been warned that my drive is full.  I've immediately backed up using Time Machine.  I don't have that 4.94 GB of free space on 499,05 Go.  104.26 GB is GB 161,97 movies and Photos.

    I went to "Images" then "photo library" and touch "control C" then I opened my external HD (it is formatted for Mac) and click on "order V.  It seems that he just copied successfully.  I have verified this by clicking on each of them, then 'control' 'get info' and looked at the amount of GB each had and it's the same thing.

    My question is threefold > r: I did this right, it's the best way to ensure that all the photos and videos copied on correctly? and b: How can I remove my internal now 'photos' and use my hard drive every time I open pictures?

    and finally c: This means now that my photos will synchronize is no longer?  It's fine for me if they don't synchronize... I can do it manually, but I'm curious to know how it works if they normally go to all devices, but now is not on the internal hard drive.

    THANKS FOR MANY WHO ANSWER CALLS TO HELP ME!

    A. you did it right. You just had to copy the library of Photos to the new location, but do not delete the old library until you've checked out the new one does not work correctly.

    B. open the Photos while pressing the Alt key and search the photo library on your external drive. Choose and check that all your photos are here. After you be sure that you can remove your in-House photo library of the folder you stored it (usually the pictures folder).

  • Moving music files of 1 external hard drive to another

    I have to move my music files from one external hard drive to another.   Many of these files are in the iTunes library, but do not reside in the iTunes/iTunes Music folder.  Is it possible to do so that they don't become 'traces of dead' in iTunes that I'll have to then 'find' whenever I want to access one of the songs?

    There is no easy way to do it. It is one of the disadvantages of not let iTunes do its own management of files.

    My suggestion would be to first let iTunes consolidate the active player library and only then move it to the new drive.

  • Each folder in my external hard drive and Flash Drives have all been replaced by cmd shortcuts by accident

    I don't know how it happened but one night, I unplugged my external hard drive, and I remember vaguely the prompt being opened by accident after I plugged the external drive again the next day. The computer says my drive needed for formatting, that does not make sense because my drive was not related at the time. Well, when I reconnected my drive and restarted the computer, each folder in my external hard drive, I created in recent months, had been changed to shortcuts by the computer. The target location for each folder on my external hard drive and readers flash is (C:\Windows\System32). So whenever I click on a folder for documents, it will open in another screen, but I can't ever see as a folder only content inside, I need to find a way to cancel some setting in my computer that changes every folder I creat in a shortcut that reads-card: cmd (C:\Windows\System32)

    Hi Gordon Gekko.

    It seems that the data on the hard drive is damaged. I suggest you plug the drive on another computer or another port on the same computer to see if the data is accessible.

    If you take a backup of the data in the drive and try to format the drive.

    For more information, see the following link:

    http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows7/formatting-disks-and-drives-frequently-asked-questions

    You can also use your favorite search engine to download third party software to recover the data and then format the drive, so it's is more corrupt.

    Note: The use of third-party software, including hardware drivers can cause serious problems that may prevent your computer from starting properly. Microsoft cannot guarantee that problems resulting from the use of third-party software can be solved. Software using third party is at your own risk.

  • How to copy a folder to an external hard drive with the same file on it and have it just add new files instead of replace all old already on there, as well as to add new?

    I want to copy a folder to an external hard drive with the file already on it and not having to replace all the files each time. I just want to click and drag the folder to the external hard drive and have it add new files I've added in the folder on my pc over time on the external hard drive. It's annoying to have to replace alllll the files each time.

    Thank you!

    A simple way is to use the second copy of Centered.com software. It is reasonably priced and will do exactly what you want. MS - MVP - Elephant Boy computers - don't panic!

  • How can I move the Virtual Mode of Windows XP hard drive to another drive

    How can I move the Virtual Mode of Windows XP hard drive to another drive?

    TIA

    Hi Benyl,

    The vhd in programfiles basis cannot be moved or renamed, if done, xp mode stops at the start.

    To move the files under c, first to boot xp, instead of save mode the machine virtual., turn it off. (settings to prompt the user for action narrow close). Close the machine virtual., and then choose stop. This will remove the vsv file. Do not delete the .vsv file because it contains data if you have not registered in the virtual machine.

    Now, move it "C:\Users\CHRIS.domainname\AppData\Local\Microsoft\Windows virtual PC\Virtual Machines\Windows XP Mode.vhd" to a desired location.

    Parameters of xp mode open, go to the hard drive 1 setting and reposition the hard drive to the new location of the vhd. You should now be able to start the virtual machine.

  • Had a project done with first elements 11.  All media files and PRE files were in the same folder on an external hard drive.  Received a new computer, loaded first items 11 (which of course doesn't recognize not all previous projects as it is)

    Had a project done using first items 11 (the file exported and posted on youtube).  All the media files and PRE files associated with this project were located in the same folder on an external hard drive.  Got a new computer, responsible for first 11 elements (which of course doesn't recognize not all previous projects because it is a new installation) and now cannot open the original project to make some adjustments (connected to the external hard drive of course)...  Even tried to open the last saved auto program as well, no luck.  Just get a shell of the original project, but no real media file is passed in. Then get a prompt asking you where the file "rendering-3090026..." (20 More digits) is located.  Looking for C drive and external hard drive without success. Help!

    Which operating systems are involved - old and new?

    The external drive has the same drive letter on the new computer as it did when it was used on the other computer?

    Where are the video preview and the old led, Audio preview files compared to new? See Edit Menu/preferences/Scratch discs?

    Are all the place where is the file... messages just to render files? If all are for rendering files, what happens if you click ignore for their

    messages? Can you enter into the project and render it again if necessary and proceed with the project?

    Please see the bulletin. With the above information, we will decide which way to go? It seems that a media disconnect situation has developed in

    the passage from one computer to the other.

  • How can I keep XP pro to create a 'My music' folder by default in C; \MyDocuments after I moved the folder on a 2nd HARD drive?

    I installed a 2nd HDD in my PC and moved the folder my music on the new drive. Now, XP Pro creates a my music folder on default in C:\MyDocuments once again on the C:\ drive and stores music files here by default. I don't want a folder my music on the C:\ drive, that's why I installed a 2nd HDD to keep my separate music. Is it possible to 'say' XP Pro does not create the default folder?

    Hello Toddy - USA,

    Unfortunately, this is normal and default Windows creates a Documents folder even if you delete it. However, if you have saved the music to another folder, you can set Media Player to use a default folder to access music files.

    a. Open Media Player, press the Alt key to bring up the file menu.

    b. click on file, manage libraries, and music.

    Here you can add and remove sites and also to select the default location.

  • How do I move a file/structure/components (to another hard drive) entirely, the license also

    When you install a program it lies not only in the program folder files

    It spread during the operating system: registry, associations with other programs, etc, etc.

  • How can I move media files & media players to external hard drive

    My internal hard drive is "full" and showing less than 10% free space.
    I presume that it is slow, because there is not enough space on the hard disk to be used as temporary storage.

    I WANT TO SPEND ALL MY MEDIA FILES AND MEDIA PLAYERS (REAL PLAYER & WINDOWS MEDIA
    ON AN EXTERNAL HARD DRIVE

    I NEED HELP TO KNOW HOW EXACTLY, STEP BY STEP, TO DO THIS.
    Thank you

    I NEED HELP TO KNOW HOW EXACTLY, STEP BY STEP, TO DO THIS.

    Three points:

    1. software (Real Player or any other) should generally not be on
    external hard drives. It can cause problems. So you shouldn't do it.

    2 move a program from one drive to another (external or not) is
    difficult. This is because besides that the software itself, there is
    usually many references to it and its location in | Windows, in the
    Registry and elsewhere. Search and replace all of these references is
    very hard. There is a software that is supposed to do, but in my
    experience, none of this works perfectly. I recommend strongly against
    it.

    3. move media files is easy. You can move the files to a disk
    to another exactly like you would move them from one folder to another.
    There are several ways, but cut-and - paste and drag - move are the
    may be simpler and more common. If you do not know how
    write again for more information.

  • How to print a list of the movies that I have on an external hard drive

    I have my iTunes on an external hard drive.  I would like to print a list of the movies.  I tried 'print' which causes quicktime and iTunes to open. I tried "select all", "copy", then paste in the text change which causes a spinning endless ball and the eventual system crash.  I guess she's trying to print the actual movies rather than on the list.  Any ideas how to create a list of the contents of a disc and then print this list?  I use OS X on a macbook pro 10.11.5.

    You a run this in Terminal and it will display the names of files in a file on your desktop.

    LS path/to/file > > ~/Desktop/Movies.txt

    Replace the full path to the folder path/to/folder.

  • Portege 3440: ntoskrnl.exe file needs to be replaced - how to start without external hard drive

    Hello

    My 3440 has developed a problem, I think the boot.ini file corruption that it requests to the file ntoskrnl.exe replaced at startup. The problem is that I don't have an external drive to boot from. When I press F2 it gives me a list of devices, that which no no it starts from. I don't have the external CD drive for this, and it won't have a USB floppy drive.

    It is impossible for me to solve this problem without the external port replicator or a cd player?

    Thanks in advance

    Pete

    Hello

    Unfortunately, without the access on the Windows CD you will not be able to fix it.

    The ntoskrnl.exe file is placed on the original Windows CD in the i386 folder.
    You could start at the beginning of the CD to make the repair console by pressing R
    In the repair console, you can use this command:

    Expand D:\i386\ntoskrnl.ex_C:\windows\ntoskrnl.exe
    (D is the CD drive)

    But as said above seems that you will need the CD player

    But wait if the i386 folder has been installed on your HARD drive you could expand the ntoskrnl.exe in this folder to C:\windows\
