Big A Posted July 24, 2008 Report Share Posted July 24, 2008 Well after a couple months of buys songs from Itunes, I need to back up the songs so if my computer craps out I'm not out all the songs. I wanted to use an external hard drive. Now what would be the easiest way to accomplish that? Or is there any other good ways to do this with out burning everything to CDs?

If your using an external HDD you just drag and drop the files you want on there from driveA to drive B then safely disconnect.Thats how i back up most of my things on a windows platform if its a MAC talk to someone else SpaceGhost maybe??

87GT Posted July 24, 2008 Report Share Posted July 24, 2008 Go buy a USB memory stick from Microcenter for mad cheap $$$. The cheap ones are sitting on the registers. Then copy and paste your itunes mp3 directory to the USB stick. OR you can get a 2nd hard drive in your computer and do the same. OR you could burn your collection to CD-Rs DVD-Rs or Dual layer or whatever. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ramsey Posted July 24, 2008 Report Share Posted July 24, 2008 This seems very easy, if it is a windows computer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Akula Posted July 24, 2008 Report Share Posted July 24, 2008 Mac OS or Windows? I think if you right click purchases it will offer "check for purchases". I think if you buy them they are yours forever and you can redownload them again. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
