Mark, nicely done. I have two questions. I don't store much music in iTunes, so I am not all that concerned about my music library. However, I would like to know how to cause iTunes to use a different drive than I C drive when doing a backup of whatever it finds, apps, a little music per chance, Etc.
Thanks for any answers. Neal -----Original Message----- From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of M.

Hello Keith, I think a comprehensive answer to your question can best be discussed via telephone as the answer will very much depend upon your level of comfort with network drives, file paths, the current configuration of your iTunes Library, etc. I have my entire iTunes Library located on a network drive. Not only does this allow me to access the same Library from multiple computers but also the ability to sync my iOS devices with any of my PCs/Macs currently accessing the Library. Finally, the ability to quickly backup my entire iTunes Library without tying up any one computer is another advantage of a network-drive based iTunes Library. All things being equal and assuming that you have a basic understanding of how the Windows file system works and know the difference between relative and absolute file references, moving your entire Library to an external USB drive is relatively uncomplicated.

HI, I'm quickly running out of space on my PC's hard drive, and an encrypted iphone backup tonight was limited by hard disk space. I have a 2 TB My Passport that's not being used, and I'm thinking about putting my iTuens Media Folder on that. The only time I use my iTunes on my PC is for backup purposes. What are the merits and risks of putting the iTunes Media folder on an external hard drive? Any advice on how to best do this, if at all, would be appreciated.
