Tim and Jonathan,
Thanks for the help. I think I missed a step and ended up almost
filling yo the hard drive. So am moving some files to make room then go
in and see where the duplication is.
When moving the iTunes folder, there is the Movies and Music
folders. The dvds I ripped are in the Movies folder. Whatever I did,
some of those, not sure if all, ended up in the Home Videos folder
inside the iTunes Media folder. So I want to figure out what happened so
I can sort it out. based on the available/used numbers I think the
Movies folder was duplicated. Perhaps the Music folder as well.
Any thoughts? I am taking this slowly now.

. . . what if it were true?

Hi,
Similar to Jonathan’s reply, what I’ve done is move the entire iTunes folder
from your Home directory to the other location. So, cmd-c the
/Users/My_Username/Music/iTunes folder and cmd-option-v it to whereever you
wish to put it, such as an external HD with more space. Now, when you go to
open iTunes, it will say that it can’t find the iTunes Library at which time
you locate the copied iTunes folder from the dialog and click Choose. This
will automatically fix everything and life will be good. The only concern, is
that you must have the external source turned on when starting iTunes,
otherwise, it will bring up this dialog again.
HTH.
Later...

You need to start iTunes while holding down the option key. I believe you can
use commandoption-downArrow todo this, but I am not positive right now. Both
iTunes and iPhoto will prompt you for a library location when double clicking
the mouse while holding down the option key. I expect if you completely remove
your iTunes library folder it will also prompt you for the location of the
library.
Are there the ability to do this from the dock contextual menu also?

in preferences under the Advanced tab but am not sure just what I need to do
there. Can use some pointers, thanks.
