so i install a new SSD in the original HDD bay and move the HDD to the Superdrive area.

i did a fresh new install on the OS X on the SDD and didn't backup from timeline to the SSD, so all my files are in the HDD still.

now here is where i am stuck and not sure what to do.

Im missing a lot of folders and apps on my SDD that weren't install, so how do i get these?

also for iTunes, how do i move my media files from the HDD to iTunes, and tell iTunes to look for music from there.

thanks and sorry for these noob questions, I'm new to this stuff
 
Just reinstall them from the original CD, they'll also be available for reinstall on the app store (assuming you bought them from the app store).
 
what about the stock ones?

my MBP is a 2010 model, it came with SL, i purchase Lion online, so when i did a fresh install, it didnt have the applications.
 
how do i select which files i want to move over from the HDD to SDD?

EDIT*****

nevermind i see it.
 
ok i did the apps, Migration Assistant worked very well, thanks to whoever mention that.

now I'm trying to work on iTunes. all my media files are in the HDD, and i don't want to move them to the SDD to prevent writing and over writing.

can someone give me instructions on how to tell iTunes that my files are in the HDD and not the SDD?

same resolution needed for iPhoto as well.

thank you very much.
