Took me a while but thanks to Spotify I had time to ignore my damn iTunes since I really hated it and it was basically killing my machine. And thankfully a lot of syncing is done wirelessly and you don’t have to sync new devices to iTunes to get them working like you had to previously, so I ignored this as long as possible. But at this stage my machine was literally on its last leg so I had to move my iTunes to a different machine.

The Steps:

• Before the move, choose “Keep iTunes Media folder Organized” & “Copy files to iTunes Media folder”
• Then chose a new location, on the network storage device. In my case the Synology unit I use for my Media
• Then click “Consolidate Library” under “Library”, give it about a day for the whole move to be done and let it settle
• The move is done
• On the new machine make sure your iTunes library is pointed to the same folder on the network which in my case is in the Synology Unit
• Copy the iTuneLibrary.itl file from inside the iTunes folder in my machine to the iTunes Folder in the new machine but be sure iTunes is off on the new machine
• Then when you start the machine it will have the same counts and details on the new machine, and test everything out. The Music Videos took a minute to find since it didn’t find it the first place, then it started finding them automatically
• The move is done and the old machine is gone
