Hi, I'm having trouble moving a library in iTunes. I have the latest version of iTunes and had the music on an external drive that is going to be needed for something else. I have copied all the music to a new drive and want to reconnect iTunes so it sees the new location. I was told that if I option start iTunes and choose an existing library it will work but it didn't and I don't see why it would. I never told iTunes where the library was moved to. I can't find that option anywhere.

There is an XML file that can be edited so that you can change the directory for your music. Each song has a line in that XML file so you will need to do a Find and Replace so that it won't take forever. You should use a web editor to make the changes to the XML. If you don't have one use a simple text editor, NOT WORD.

I use iPod to Computer, and everytime I format my computer, I use iDump to get all my songs back from my iPod. I even use it to give some of my songs to my friends. You can have a free try at http://www.aniosoft.com/download.html
