Hello mpitts,


Thanks for that info and choosing the Apple Support Communities. It sounds like you want to move the content of your iTunes library from the hard drive on your MacBook Air to an external hard drive to free up space on your MacBook Air. To do this, you would have to move the iTunes Media folder and change this in your iTunes preferences. To do this, please follow the steps in this Apple resource and also this addition support resource on freeing up storage space on your MacBook Air.
