Moving iTunes, but leaving some files.

I am moving from one laptop to another and have to move my instance of iTunes.

I have a lot of older podcasts, I saved, and I want to keep them. Unfortunately I don't have much disk space on the new machine that I had on the old, so I'll have to cut them on the new machine.

What is the best way to solve this problem?

I do more iTunes files, and then delete the individual podcasts that I don't want to keep it on the new machine?

Is it possible to load iTunes, registration and it has NOT automatically download the historical files of the iTunes server?

See how to backup your iTunes for Windows with SyncToy library. You can keep a complete copy of the library on the external hard drive, but remove some content (and exclude from synchronization) some files to reduce the size of the online library. Alternatively, you can run the entire library from the outside and use another for backup.

  • How to transfer iTunes with comments and followed by names, but keep the files of the song on external hard drive?

    I have all of my music stored on an external hard drive. On my old iMac, I have iTunes with all the songs on this hard drive organized or recognized as I like, with comments and play lists and track/song names and album names. How can I transfer iTunes as it is to the old iMac to the new MacMini while leaving the actual files of the song (> 2.5 to) on the external hard drive? In short, I want the old iTunes on my new computer, but the files of the song in the current HD thank you so much.

    (2.66 GHz, 4 GB RAM 20 "iMac; 2014 new Mac Mini)

    Hmmm...   Never tried, but I "think" it should work.   The reader will need to named exactly something on the new computer, as it was on the old.

    1. on the old computer, go to {user folder} / music/iTunes and move the files on the external hard drive.

    2. on the new computer in iTunes, go to Preferences > advanced and not select "copy of the file to the iTunes Media folder.

    3. always in this same window under "iTunes Media folder location", click on change.   Now select the location on the external hard drive, you have moved the files too.

  • I have chosed on z Drive .itl file when opening iTunes but on Preferences always shows as CDrive.  Why?

    I installed a new HARD drive in my PC as the C drive was full on the former.  I copied the iTunes folder and the Libra folder on drive C on the Z drive.  In preferences / advanced I had historically not ticked 'keep iTunes Library organized... '. "or"copy files to iTunes Media folder... ". "because I believe that when I installed everything first Libra on the machine instructions had told not to do.  However, all articles and youtube videos, I watched before installing the new HARD drive and try to move the library said that should check these boxes.

    I tired to organize my library via iTunes but unfortunately was informed by the tha system it was not possible due to the fact that there are insufficeint space on the disk - is not a surprise because I think that this function copies the files instead of moving them, and that there are 200 GB of content there is no space on the C drive.

    I finally found the correct .itl file to select - it was not easy for some reason, it wasn't in the Apple Lossless file, I put in place but rather the iTunes folder in the balance.

    When I press SHIFT and open iTunes I then select choose library and go to the Z Drive (new HARD drive) and the file in the iTunes folder .til balance.  iTunes opens and everything seems to be there.  So far so good.

    However, when I go to preferences / advanced and check the path of the file to the iTunes library and not be Z\Libra\iTunes, it is still C\Users\name\Music\Itunes\Apple Lossless.

    Install the new drive Z was so I could delete the contents of the iTunes of the C drive to free up space.  I hesitate to hide drive C, until I'm 100% sure that iTunes is actually read data from the Z drive rather than the C drive.

    Someone knows it why the file path is always displayed as C\Users... rather than Z\ and how can I confirm that it is the Z drive and not on the C drive which is accessed when I open iTunes.

    See make a library of portable split.

    Equip your active library files and folder work album Z:\iTunes.

    Move the press inside the Z:\iTunes file and rename it as iTunes Media.

    Shift-Start iTunes for you connect to Z:\iTunes\iTunes Library.itl.

    See this master key to repair broken links:

    The "missing file" error occurs if the file is no longer where iTunes is expected to find. Causes possible is that you or a third-party tool has moved, renamed or deleted the file, one of its parent folders, or the reader, he feeds has been a change to the drive letter. It is also possible that iTunes has changed from waiting for the files in the presentation of pre-iTunes 9 post-iTunes 9 layout, or vice versa, and so looking for a bit in the wrong place.

    Select a track with an exclamation point, use Ctrl - I to get the information, and then click No when asked to try to locate the track. Look under the file tab for the location that iTunes thinks that the file should be. Now look around your hard drive. I hope you can locate the track in question. If a part of your library has just been moved, renamed a folder or a drive letter has changed, it should be possible to reverse actions. If the difference between the two railroads is an additional music directory in a path, then it is a problem of layout. I can explain more if this is the case. If everything is where it is supposed to be trying to fix the security permissions for iTunes for Windows.

    In some cases, iTunes may be able to repair itself if you go through the same steps with Get Info, but this time, click on search and browse the lost track. Then, it can offer try to automatically correct the other broken links. Although he said something like 'use the same location' I think he expects to find titles in the same provision, artist / album, they were previously, with a systematic change to the path.

    If another application like Windows Media Player has moved/renamed files then the chances are that subtle differences in naming strategies will make it difficult to restore media on the precise way that iTunes is expected. In this case, as long as the missing files somewhere, you should be able to use my FindTracks script for reconnecting to iTunes. See this post for an explanation of how it works.

    If you want me to try to provide specific advice, please post back the following details:

    1. The location of the media file under Edit > Preferences > advanced
    2. The location of a sample of missing follow indicated under Get Info > file > location which begins file://localhost/
    3. The real path to the file which you gave 2 details.

  • Attempts to migrate files, but some files are invisible to me

    Description of the problem:

    Old PC died, but hard drive was fine. Bought a new PC, removed old hard drive from the old computer, used an adapter to connect the old hard drive to new computer (this part has functioned well).

    My music files are of several types:

    (1) some were bought on itunes

    (2) some have purchased from amazon

    (3) some have been saved out of vinyl into digital copies

    (4) some were regular old CD that I have loaded on my old PC

    These different file types, they are all visible on my existing iPod, and I use my PC with iTunes to manage my music. The files that I can not find were all old CD I had loaded my previous PC (or even the one before that). About 100 "albums" are not appearing in my newly migrated iTunes library. In addition, they do not appear on my old hard drive, but they WERE on the old PC and the old iTunes library.

    Question: What happens here? and I can do to make these files visible? I looked in all the existing files, and they are not visible anywhere. I don't have these CD most of the time. I fear that I must buy the albums again.

    Second question: if I sync my iPod with 400 albums of my iTunes library that has only 300 albums, I'll lose those who is not represented in the iTunes library or if the two systems will cross? I'm afraid I'll lose music if I sync my iPod (which has more music files) to the iTunes library (which has fewer files).

    Thank you

    How do you migrate the iTunes library - did you use the iTunes on the old disk database, or create a new library and import media from the old drive?  In both cases, you see the files/folders for albums 'disappeared' on the old drive?

    BTW, in almost all cases you have no right to keep the media from a CD if you have is no longer the physical CD.

  • v125W 16 GB USB Flash Drive reporting disk full when moving some files

    Let me apologize in advance if I put this topic in the wrong forum!

    Hi all! I received a v125w 16 GB USB Flash Drive for Christmas (link). Works just fine until I went to move some files .iso to DVD on it so that I can transfer them on my netbook to watch while I'm away from home for long periods of time. in any case.

    The .iso files are standard DVD rips of discs I own, so the question of the integrity of the hacking or file is not a problem here. The .iso files work very well on my desktop, I can be read and can also burn backups without a hitch.

    Each .iso file is at 4.35 concerts after a tear. When I try to drag and drop them on the flash drive, windows tells me that the destination disk is full and I need to free up space. I get this message, even when there is absolutely no other files on the flash drive.

    I put the .iso file into a new empty folder and tried to move in this way, but it gives me the same results. So I threw a bunch of other files in a folder (any of my .iso files) and got 7 concerts in total. He moved very well in the flash player.

    I ripped a DVD of my son and the resulting file is 3.28 GB in size. I can move this .iso on the FlashDrive without problem.

    But now I'm at the end of my rope as to why this is happening and what to do now. It has no sense to me at all. If someone here on the Forum could provide some advice on what I need to I would really appreciate it. I prefer not having to sit on hold with HP my entire weekend.

  • File appears in the folder iTunes but not iTunes itself

    I am currently trying to add a ringtone on my iPhone 4 on iOS 9.3.5. As indicated in the title, I have a file in a folder iTunes but not iTunes itself. Specifically, my file appears in music > iTunes > iTunes Media > tones folder. He, however, is now appear in my playlist of ringtones in iTunes. As far as I know, I can not change any other my playlists, and whenever I try to drag things in my playlist of tones, nothing happens. My laptop runs on Windows 10, and I use iTunes 12.4.3.

    If anyone has any ideas on how to solve this problem, it would be great.

    iTunes shows that what was added for it, not anything that could be placed in the media files. Drag and drop this file in ...\iTunes\iTunes Media\Automatically add to iTunes. As it is a valid file your (AAC format with .m4r file and hard job) less than 40 seconds it should be brought back in the ringtones folder and added to the tones of your library section.

  • Trying to access the files on an external drive. It is denied. Some files are accessable. / problem solved. But please help me learn.

    Hello.

    I use XP Home 32-bit Edition. My a-external hard drive is a Western Digital My Book Essential 1.5 Tb USB2 HARD drive: model number: WDBAAF0015HBK-00.

    I can't access all files on the external hard drive. Currently, I mounted it on a folder. I have some files tif on the external hard drive and wanted to access my photos.

    The message that I had to right click and select open with was "access to C:\(Folder tree) denied." I tried my programs and the Windows Picture and Fax Viewer of image editing. Nothing works.

    When I right click on the images of problem the only options I have are: open, print, edit, Preview, open with, send to. None of these work.

    Some files are not accessible, and others. Unaccessable files do not have a preview image in the window pane (on the lower left side when I'm in the folder).

    This can happen if I didn't 'delete safetly' external hard drive or there was a Brown out? Some of the tif are too long file extensions? Shouldn't windows warn me too long file extensions?

    I consulted the havn't the reader for a while.

    I can not drag and drop the files to my desktop. I can't copy, cut, delete or move the files. When I click on a file, and then click file - properties: nothing shows up and he says: size: 0 bytes, size on disk: 0 bytes. But when I click on the file in the folder, it says that it is 23.3 MB. I can move the folder on my desktop.

    When I select all the files and click on file - properties: it is said attributes: read-only and hidden. They are green in box, I have not did those and it does not work. I clicked on Advanced Options, again I had unstapled the ReadOnly and hidden, then I unchecked all 4 options because they were greenboxed too. It's green boxes, not the check marks in both situations. What are the green boxes?

    ______________________________________________________

    Fixed a problem. I dragged and deposited the files on my desktop and I can access it. At this point, I just thought, since I had problems with the music files (mp3 or wav) is too long and is not be able to access or remove them, but I can delete the folders to get rid of them.

    So my question is why am I unable to access the files? This is a limitation of my external hard drive? Can I test or repair? What is this kind of disk with this version of Windows? What is a format? It's NTFS. Computer management indicates that the external drive is healthy.

    It seems that some files are not named as long as others and I could access those. Is there a limit on character/attribution of Tif or all types of files? If so, is it the same? Pourrait - linked to the way in which the external (or internal drive?) is setup in the policies tab? Are each disk different? They seem to be a little more limited than the internal hard drives, but I'm not sure if this is a limitation of the usb2.

    Does anyone know if there is a program or a way to know how many letters or numbers have been used? Microsoft Word and Works a number of words, but Works 9 (I have that) doesn't have a number of letter.

    Contradict you yourself.  At one point, you said:

    > I can not drag and drop the files to my desktop. I can't copy, cut, delete or move the files.
    and then you say:
    > A problem fixed. I dragged and deposited the files on my desktop and I can access it.

    This side, the general approach to access in this case is "Ownership" of these files.
    "How appropriate a file or a folder in Windows XP"
      <>http://support.Microsoft.com/kb/308421 >

    This probably occurred because the files were created on different computers by users with different Secure ID (SID) or you have reinstalled Windows and files were protected to some extent.  Since you are using XP Home Edition, the only way to see the security settings is to start your computer using safe mode and log in as an administrator.  This will give you access to the 'Security' tab when you right-click on a file and select 'Properties' (as described in the article above).  Apart from connecting with Safe Mode, you can use 'Cacls' command from a command prompt window (start-> Run-> "cmd") to view or change permissions on files

  • Display music files in iTunes but do not appear under my folder music in XP

    I just opened the My Music folder, and most of my music files and folders have disappeared - I have no idea how that happened as I didn't move all the files to another location. However, these 'missing' files still play on iTunes, but when I search for them, they are not displayed. What can I do to make these files appear in the music folder?

    Thank you very much.
    * original title - Lost music files *.

    Unfortunately, I do not use any iStuff or iDevices.

    But if possible I would try to save the music files which are playable in a different location via the iTunes player - if possible.

    This can create an identical copy of your music, but it is better to create a backup copy while you still can.

    in all cases, sometimes the files become not indexed in the master file table.

    what you might try is to run a disk check which reconcile the file system.

    by the way, you either have your music files on the same drive that has your programs and windows system files?

    If so, then the music files can also be very fragmented.

    If it was my system I would separate permanently from the personal files, photo and music off the coast the main drive.

    Administrators can access anything, but they often need to take ownership of a file or folder to open it. By examining the details of the property, the owner can easily say that an administrator has reviewed his file or folder.
