Re: itunes on the mac help?

Hello Stacey, It really isn’t a good idea to have your music library on your desktop, since everything on your desktop is loaded into RAM when you log in. It will slow down your Mac horribly. What’s wrong with using the Music folder in your Home folder? After all, that’s what it’s there for. C

The iTunes folder is usually just inside your Music folder in your home folder. How you get to it will depend on the mode you normally use for browsing in the Finder. For the sake of simplicity, and because I think it’s the best way to browse the filesystem in OS X, let’s use column view. You

In theory it doesn’t matter where you format it, but I’d always prefer OS X as it’s more thorough. Just make sure the format is FAT32 or ExFAT; never NTFS or OS X. In Disk Utility on OS X this is pretty painless; choose the disk from the table, and then press Erase in the toolbar. Set the nam
