Trying to find a foolproof way to save iTunes library onto another device Hello, I have an older iMac using Mojave, and am hoping to sync my iTunes library onto my iPad, which is also older but software is up-to-date. Can I do this? I mainly want to be sure I don't accidentally erase my iTunes library from the Mac! Also -- if I successfully put iTunes library on my iPad, can I use the iPad to sync with my iPod Classic?

iTunes resets to the default library location Hello: I need the iTunes media folder to be located on a USB external hard drive rather than the "C" drive because it takes up too much space but each time I set the location of the library, iTunes moves it back to the default "C" drive location on restart. I can't install iTunes on this pc unless I can keep this from happening. I'm running Windows 11 64-bit. Thank you, Bill Ferguson

Launch iTunes with the Shift key held down and choose it.
