    iTunes Library to external drive.

    I am moving from my iMac to MBP. Because of less internal storage I have copied my 1.5 TB iTunes Media folder to three 2TB external drives as a safety precaution. Now I have read that I should have copied the iTunes folder instead of iTunes Media. Will this make a difference? Also, in the...

    Buying iTunes Music vs Spotify Premium

    So I'm stuck in a bit of a problem. I'm not sure whether I should buy iTunes music from the store or get Spotify Premium, what do you think? If I chose the iTunes route I'd buy an iPod Nano. If I chose the Spotify premium how much GB would it take up in storage if I had a lot of music? Thank you :)

    Mac iTunes - Smart Playlists Not Updating?

    Not sure if it is just my Mac, but since updating OS X and iTunes this week it seems that my smart playlists in iTunes are not updating. For example, if I change the rating of a song it remains in a rating playlist, even though the change no longer matches the smart criteria. I noticed that if...

    E-books disappeared after iOS 9.3

    So my e-books disappeared from my iPad after the update last night. They are on iBooks on the Mac, but on my iPad device it's pretty much a blank window. When I go into iTunes to try to sync them back, they don't show up in the syncing window for books.
