Can you transfer your iTunes to an external drive if so how?

Of course you can! Here is how. First make sure that the "Keep iTunes Music folder organized" option is checked in iTunes Preferences: • From the iTunes menu, choose Preferences. • In the resulting window, click the Advanced button. • Select the "Keep iTunes Music folder organized" checkbox. • Click OK. Once you've done that, follow the next set of steps to change your iTunes Music library location to the new drive and then consolidate your library to the new location. This not only copies your audio and media files over, it also retains your ratings and playlists. Note: If you move your music and media library to an external hard drive, you will need to have that drive connected to access your files. • Open iTunes. • From the iTunes menu, choose Preferences. • Click the Advanced button in the Preferences window. • Click the Change button in the iTunes Music folder location pane. • In the Change Music Folder Location window that appears, navigate to the location where you would like your new Music folder to be created. Note: By default, your iTunes Music folder is a folder named "iTunes Music" in ~/Music/iTunes/ where the tilde "~" represents your home directory. • Click the New Folder button in the Change Music Folder Location window. • In the New Folder window that appears, enter the name of the new iTunes Music folder. • Click Create. • Click Open in the Change Music Folder Location window. • Click OK in the Advanced window. • From the File menu, choose Library and then Consolidate Library... A message appears that says: "Consolidating your library will copy all of your music into the iTunes Music folder. This cannot be undone." • Click Consolidate. Important: This action copies all of your music and media files to the new location. There must be enough hard disk space available to copy all of your music and media files. • After the folder has been copied, locate your original iTunes Music folder, and drag it to the Trash or Recycle Bin. Note: Don't remove the iTunes library files that may be in the same location as the iTunes Music folder. • Empty the Trash. Additional Information If you move your library to an external drive, you'll need to power up and connect the drive before starting iTunes. If you don't, iTunes will prompt you to either locate the library or to create a new library (which will result in an empty library).
