✗ Harder to set up - not as simple as just copying your entire libraryĪpple now has a document covering how to do this on the recent macOS versions and iCloud settings. ✗ Does use some space on your local machine ✓ Uses very little space on your local machine ✓ Much less likely to have problems due to network dropouts This means that it uses very little space on your local machine but even if the network drops there is no chance of corruption/etc. This way, you keep the library on your local machine but the media is stored on a network drive. This alternative is probably better, but requires that you switch to Aperture. Put your library on your local machine and the contents on a network volume.✗ Possibly susceptible to network dropouts causing problems ✓ Easy to set up, just copy your entire library to a network drive and ⌥-launch iPhoto This works fine for my relatively large Aperture library, but I see no reason for this not to work in iPhoto. This option works fine for me - even when the network drops (which is pretty rare): the data transfer pauses and continues when the network reconnects. This is the option that I went for on my setup, mainly because I did not consider the second option at that point in time. Put your library and contents on a network volume.It then makes a copy for the iTunes Media folder and leaves the original file where it was.There are two main options which I would go for: button, the program scans your hard drive for any songs or videos in your collection that are not stored within the iTunes folder. When you select “Consolidate files” and click the O.K. A box appears on screen with a “Consolidate files” option. Go in the File menu to Library and on the submenu, choose Organize Library. Press the Alt key (or the Control and B keys) to reveal it. To do that, open the iTunes program on your PC, and display the menu bar if it isn’t already displayed. After you complete the backup, make sure everything listed in iTunes is actually in your iTunes media library. Before you move your media collection, start by backing up your computer in its current state to your regular backup drive as a safety precaution.
Instead of paying for cloud storage, I would like to move all the multimedia files to an external drive so I can delete them from my PC. My computer’s hard drive is overloaded, largely because of my huge iTunes library, which is scattered all over.
