[QUOTE="Lavenderlady, post: 1312083, member: 176535"] I've installed and uninstalled iTunes about 20 times in the last few days. All the installs failed either Apple Application Support or Apple Mobile Device Support wasn't there. I've given up, I'm done trying. iTunes no longer exists on my pc (Dell XPS One w/vista ultimate) nor does any other Apple program, not one bit of Apple remains. That computer is dead to me!! Now, I have the iTunes Media folder (from above dead computer) copied to an external hard drive (seagate goflex 500GB). From what I have read, I could have hooked up the hard drive to my brand new MacBook Pro and moved that saved file to my Music folder. IF I had not already hooked up my iPad1 to that computer and transferred purchases to it. Thus I have stuff in the iTunes folder. (There are things in the saved folder that were not on my iPad, ie TV Shows and podcasts and additional music.) After more reading I see I can create another library for iTunes. My question is can I do that and then move the saved iTunes Media folder into that? Or create a new folder in Music and move the iTunes Media folder into that?? Which is better? If I do finally get it moved can I then delete the duplicate folder/library?? I need to do this so I can update my iPad to ios5. The iPad was synced to the above mentioned dead computer and I have no way now to deauthorize that iTunes account. If the Media file is successfully transferred to my mac will I be able to update it there? I am so confused and not the least bit technical, on top of being a brand new switcher. Please can someone help me sort this out! Any help would be ever so greatly appreciated. [/QUOTE]
