Find the iTunes Media folder

By default, your iTunes Media folder is in your iTunes folder:

  • Mac: Finder > username > Music
  • Windows Vista or later: \Users\username\Music\
  • Windows XP: \Documents and Settings\username\My Documents\My Music\

If the folder isn't in its default location, you can find where it's located using these steps:

  1. Open iTunes.
  2. Mac: From the menu bar at the top of your computer screen, choose iTunes > Preferences.
    Windows: Hold down the Control and B keys on your keyboard to open the iTunes menu bar, then choose Edit > Preferences. Learn more about menus in iTunes for Windows.
  3. Click the Advanced tab.
    iTunes advanced preferences
  4. Look in the box under "iTunes Media folder location" for the location of your iTunes Media folder.

Consolidate your iTunes library

Before you make a backup of your iTunes files, consolidate all of your media into the iTunes Media folder. To consolidate your media:

  1. Open iTunes.
    Mac: From the menu bar at the top of your computer screen, choose File > Library > Organize Library.
    Windows: Hold down the Control and B keys on your keyboard to open the iTunes menu bar, then choose File > Library > Organize Library. Learn more about menus in iTunes for Windows.
  2. Select "Consolidate files."
