Hi there. I have my iTunes Library on 4 different external hard drives. I want to buy a big external hard drive and move all of my iTunes library onto the one big hard drive. Is this possible? Side note; lets say i have software on one of those 4 hard drives, what is the best way to move its location?
Itunes Extras-OTHER, Mac OS X (10.6.8), I have an apple tv and phone
Consolidate the files to a single location.
iTunes 12 for Mac: Change where your iTunes files are stored - http://support.apple.com/kb/PH19507 - Unfortunately this is misnamed. It should say "Change where your media files but not where your library files are stored" - more information at: https://discussions.apple.com/thread/5036221?answerId=22026652022#22026652022 - and steps 5-8 in https://discussions.apple.com/thread/5782936?answerId=24491967022#24491967022
I don't know about the software and you don't provide much detail. Probably just copy it to wherever you want it to be . For most people software resides on the user's main drive in Applications.

Ok, I actually went out and bought a Mac Mini today. It felt like a good time to do so. So i followed the advice you gave on My old computer (steps 5-8) and it seems to be doing what its suppose to do. It will probably take me a week to move 4 terabytes of data across 4/5 hard drives. but I think this will solve the issue. I will also make a copy of my iTunes folder that has all the important data, like whether or not I watched a movie or not, to the hard drive when it is done. Thank you for your help. I think this will work! I will get back to you when this is all done to let you officially know whether or not this solved my issue. Thanks again, Limnos!
Ok. 4 terabytes across 5 hard drives and 3 days later and everything is as it should be. Thank you for your help
