Thanks. So, to be sure I have the process right: 1. Move the entire library to somewhere iTunes can write to (by copying it out of the Time Machine location). 2. Open iTunes with the Option key held down, and browse to my newly copied library folder. 3. Locate the apps folder from within iTunes and erase the apps. How do I do this? 4. I'm now safe to backup, sync, or restore my iOS devices, and all my music should work fine.
Right? I appreciate the help! > On Oct 21, 2014, at 5:21 PM, Grant Hardy <grantha...@outlook.com> wrote: > > If the applications folder is empty, it can be safely removed.
