By default, iTunes stores your music library to /Users/username/Music/iTunes/iTunes music. Go to your iTunes Preferences > advanced and see what the path is to your files. Find the directory using the Finder and copy the files to your additional external drive.

  • Different sizes of files when copied from a single source and pasted to another

    Hello

    I hope someone can help me understand why a file size can be different when it is copied from one source, pasted on another hard drive or on an external drive?

    My job requires me to backup databases to an external source before making changes to a program / database to protect the info before any troubleshooting begins / changes are made. These databases can be several GB in size and take a relatively long time to copy depending on the size and the transfer speed, but when I compare the properties of each folder, after that the copy is often made that the sizes don't match exactly. Remember the difference may be that some Ko Mo, but nevertheless, this could represent information data, planning data or image data that must be preserved. Can someone explain why/how it happens and if it is a way to ensure an exact copy is made every time so I don't have to go back and make a second or third attempt to copy files on?

    Thank you

    Happy to help (its why do I volunteer here)

    Copy/paste and drag-and - d├⌐poser are no error checking.  bad, bad bad.

    A file that takes up 100 MB exactly on a 500 GB HD with 4 k sectors will not take the same place on a 1 to Hd with 8 k sectors.  There may be a slight varience between the two due to the size of area if for example the las, bit of info (it could be as little as 1 byte) is placed in an 8 k sector it will often say he used throughout the sector.

    Since there is no apparent error checking if a network problem deletes the data it is not copied.

    Same with ram

    You can always google something like checking with file transfers in win 7

    For an example of an application with error checking check this a https://codesector.com/teracopy (there are dozens)

  • Move music from ipod to iphone?

    I don't want to synchronize all the music from my ipod to the iphone, I just need to transfer some of them. I think iTunes can do this, but I don't know how do it. Help please, thank you.

    By the way, my pc running Windows 7.

    What I do:

    Set up a master library for iPod (Pad in my case) and another for my iPhone.

    Use the library of the iPad as my main source, all the pieces are in a folder on my PC.

    Create a second folder, and then copy / paste just those tunes I want on the iPhone in this new folder.

    Sync the iPhone to its own library. Synchronize the iPad to its own library.

  • You want to transfer music from the computer's library to Windows Media Player. Don't know why some downloaded music goes to the library and other music goes to Media Player.

    To sort music between library computer and Media Player? How pay you the difference? I download music from Windows Media Player, but some files go to the library of the computer and do not show up in Media Player...?

    Hi Phoenixshadows1956,

    The music, videos and pictures libraries windows point to the files that store the files of real media on your computer. The Player library simply contains links to multimedia files, but gives you greater control of how you organize and use your digital media content than the Windows folders do.

    http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows7/Windows-Media-Player-library-frequently-asked-questions

    You question default save location. The default save location determines where an item is stored when it copied, moved or stored in the library. Access the link below to learn more about customizing a library.

    http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows7/customize-a-library

    You can use Windows Media Player Library to organize your entire digital media collection on your computer, including music, videos and photos. Access the link to learn more about how to manage and add items to the Windows Media Player library.

  • How to transfer music from my old hardrive itunes library?

    I am trying to transfer mp3 files that have been in my old laptop to my previous hardrive library iTunes on my new computer, without having to transfer all the mp3 files on hard drive across and hoping someone might be able to advise me how to do this. I want only the music that has been specifically on the iTunes of my previous laptop. I already bought a caddy HHD and implemented so that I can access the files on the hard drive. When I go to the iTunes library on the hard disk directory and go in itunes there is no record of music so I don't know otherwise how can I access my old library. Can someone tell me if there is a way to do this?

    Music from your old library would usually be in \Users\ < user > \Music\iTunes\iTunes Media\Music. Is that when you're looking? See make a library of portable split. You might consider the old library running from the external hard drive, or make a new portable library that contains all your media. Anyway you should also do a backup.

  • Why doesn't iTunes add music from my computer to the library?

    Hello, I'm having a problem with iTunes, add music from my computer to my library.  I am running the latest version of iTunes on my Windows 7 Desktop and everything works fine except for the folder of the file/add to the library feature.  I have a folder with music midi files on my desktop I want to synchronize with an old iPhone to play on my piano player.  Whenever I try to add the folder or individual songs from the folder to my library the action of importing them just suddenly be farm/is unable to finish before something happens.  I used to be able to add songs to my computer with no problems, but now, it seems that iTunes is not allow to happen.  Is it because I can't add midi music files to my library, because there is something wrong with my version of iTunes which does not add music?  Or this here that I am aware of a compatibility issue?  Is anyone know how can I add music to my old iPhone (1st generation iPhone 5) in a different way, if it is not possible or can point me in the direction of a person who would have?  Should I jailbreak it to get there?  (I don't know something I only heard people do it before).  Thank you very much for your time!

    Daughter of starfish,

    To the best of my knowledge, new versions of iTunes cannot read MIDI files.  Older versions of iTunes relied on QuickTime to handle the lunch, but QuickTime is part of iTunes.

    If you want to try one last thing, you can drag a MIDI file your automatically add to iTunes folder to see what is happening.  On my machine, it ends up in the not added folder and does not appear in the library.

  • How can I export my library of music directly from iTunes?

    Is it possible to do this? Is there any software that I can download? All my music is in one file, but the name of the song and the artist are on the same line. I really don't want not to pass by the 'get info' rename the process again. Is there something I can do?

    You will need to provide more details:

    • What do you mean by 'export my library of music directly from iTunes' - export for what and for what purpose?
    • "All my music is in a single file" is meaningless - your iTunes library consists of many files and folders
    • When you say "the name of the song and the artist are on the same line" do you mean that the name of the song as it appears in iTunes contains the artist name of the song, or something else?

  • Delete music from library

    trying to delete music from my library which is no longer on computer

    There is music in the WMP library which has been deleted also probably? In the future when you want to remove the music, do it via the WMP library - click on a beach or an album and you will have the choice of two 'delete from library only' or ' delete from library and my computer. This will ensure that there are no in the WMP library.

    To delete the obsolete library, open WMP click on 'Tools' - 'Advanced' and select 'Restore Library' - which should tidy up (if you do not see 'Tools' click 'Organize' "Layout" and check "Show Menu bar")

    Cheers - Ric.

  • How do I import music from my iTunes library

    Hi, I have first 14 elements and I want to know how do I import music from my iTunes library into a clip.

    [title edited for clarity by mod]

    Most of the itunes music has integrated copy protection that will prevent you from using it in a video editing project. If you try to load a song into Premiere Elements of iTunes, it throws an error message upward.

    This is true of iTunes. Music from Amazon, for example, can be used without problem.

    Although, as I showed you in my book on Amazon, you will always get the best performance with the program is use you exclusively the WAV audio format for your music. You can convert most audio formats to WAVs download free Audacity.

    How did get on your phone first?
