Question

When I move my media folder to a new HDD the podcast link in ITunes stays on the old location. How to fix

Hi,

I have a problem with moving my entire media folder to an external HDD. I did everything as described in the Apple support page, in a nutshell merge my media folders, define a new location (external HDD) move the folders and organise Media Folder.

BUT my Podcasts do still link to my old media folder location. When I download a new podcast it goes to the old location, when I see the information on an existing podcast it is still linked to the old location. But I want my ENTIRE media files synched to the new location, so I can delete the old files. The podcast are existing at the new location but not linked in iTunes. WHY????

How can I fix this?

THX

You should not move anything yourself. iTunes does it when you File > Library > Oganize library - Consolidate.

What Apple support page did you follow?

I did not move anything myself. I did exactly what you proposed. Like this http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1449.
