Those are the iTunes program files. They need to be on the boot drive. Don't mess with those.

Just reinstall iTunes.


Delete all the files you copied to the external.

To move your iTunes library...

  1. Quit iTunes.
  2. Copy the entire /My Music.iTunes/ folder from your internal to the external.
  3. Hold Shift, launch iTunes.
  4. Select Choose library... and select the iTunes folder you copied to the external
