Location Transport

Can I move the location of my itunes software to an external hard drive without loosing information?

I want to change the location where I have all the music, videos and photos that I've uploaded to my itunes, to a external hard drive, so I can have some free space in my computer. Is it possible? How can I do it? Could I risk loosing all the I've saved?

1. Beadav, yes you can. First check this video to know how to move your iTunes library to the external HD and after that just go to your iTunes, click Edit > Preferences > Advanced, in this window there is another window that reads "iTunes Music folder location", it shows the actual iTunes folder in your C drive, erase this one and write the folder location in which you just put everything in your external HD. Here is the video http://cnettv.cnet.com/2001-1_53-50002386.html. The video was made before the arriving of the new iTunes 8, so to consolidate your library (as mentioned in the video) you have to open iTunes > File > Library, Consolidate is one of the options in there. Best Regards!
