move itunes to ex. hard drive to free up space

[milligan]

My hard drive is almost full, so its slowing things up.

Can I keep my Iphoto and itunes on my external hard drive and free up space
that way? If so how do I do that?
Thanks

With iTunes, there is a much simpler 4-step solution.

1. Quit iTunes.
2. Move iTunes Music folder to external.
3. Re-launch iTunes holding down 'Option' key. ('Shift' if using Windows)
4. Browse to new library location and select.

Couldn't be easier.

Big mistake moving just the iTunes Music folder, iTunes will not open from that folder alone. The library is the whole iTunes folder ie all this : (see screenshot) . After moving the whole iTunes folder you need to point itunes to that, not itunes music.
