Hi, I am running Windows Vista, and my drive has been pre partitioned (when I got it new) into a C drive and an E drive. My C drive was where I stored all my stuff, so now it is bursting and I need to clean up some space pretty quickly. How can I move my iTunes library onto my E drive easily? Without mucking up my iTunes setup?
Moving my iTunes library?
Export folder to e-drive
Reply:Go into the folder - music/itunes and copy the folder called 'itunes music' - paste it into the E drive and then copy all the songs into itunes after deleting them from the library (not the files).
Reply:Just goto your my music directory and right click on the iTunes folder and select "cut(or copy to be safe, then delete the old when you are done and it works)". Then hightlight the folder you want to put it in on the other partition and right click and select "paste". This will move all the data to the external drive. Open iTunes to the iTunes interface.Once there, select edit, then preferences. Goto the advanced tab. In the general tab you will see "iTunes Music Folder Location". Next to the diaglog box select "change..." Now select the "iTunes Music" folder in the external drive as the location. Now restart iTunes and it should use the library that you moved and everything should be there.
Good Luck
