For many, all the options offered by iTunes are simply unnecessary but there will be a small number who do, in fact, want to control everything from a central hub or exercise huge control over playlists or streaming options. Windows/Apple debate aside, iTunes is a great app for those who like significant customization and input into the way their media plays. If you’re a Windows user who also uses an iPhone (!), iTunes is the primary way you will manage syncing. This is a gateway into the Apple ecosystem and the way many Windows users set things up so as to have at least a toe in the Appleverse. Once you’re in, you can access your local iTunes libraries, wherever they may be - on another computer, an iPhone, etc. ITunes is designed to work best when you’re signed into an Apple account. Of course, you’ll get old favorites like music and video, but iTunes also offers you access to podcasts, TV programs, radio, items from the App store, and audio books, all from within the same interface. For starters, it offers you a multitude of media options. That said, it’s actually a pretty impressive app. BUT it did work, and i kinda get the basic principle and applied it consistently.A full-featured and remarkably versatile media playerĪpple’s geriatric media player is looking pretty sprightly I apologise if i haven't been able to explain things particularly well, but computers are not my expertise, and this clever little fix was (and still is) way beyond my knowledge without some assistance. What you are doing is replacing the folder on your C drive where iTunes thinks these files are stored, with an identically named folder which instead points to an off-board drive by using a symbolic link Directory Junction.
Don't be put off by the fact that the command that you type to make the link to the new location (in my case was my E drive doesn't seem to fully describe the path by omitting in my case the "\roaming\" part of the route/path. (as described in the How to geek article), you need to do the same process to the location of the Phone Update folder which in my case was -Ĭ:\users\admin\appdata\Roaming\AppleComputer\itunesĪnd look for the folder called "Phone Software Updates" (and follow the same process as per the how to geek article).Īs long as you are careful and consistent this worked well for me.
Instead of pointing to a folder called Backup inĬ:Users\Admin\AppData\RoamingApplecomputer\MobileSync\ I fixed that problem by following the exact instructions as follows:-īut then i had the same issue of not having enough space on my C drive to download the updated IOS.īasically you need to follow the same process, except the route/path to where iTunes downloads the IOS update is of course different to the backup folder location. First iTunes would not allow me to backup my iPhone due to not enough room on my C drive.(Windows 7)
