NOTE: There is a difference between transferring your iTunes library to a new computer, or simply transferring iTunes to a new hard drive/folder. As for transferring to a new computer, TuneSwift will make a copy of your iTunes library and save it, so you can restore the library to a new PC. In the second case, your iTunes library will be literally moved from its original location to the new location on the new system hard drive or the external HDD. This means that, after the transfer, your iTunes library will no longer be found in its original location.

From the “External hard drive” or “New folder/drive on this computer” page, click on the Green pencil symbol. Then select the drive/folder from the pop-up window and click OK.

The location of the hidden iTunes backup folder remains unchanged during the transfer with CopyTrans TuneSwift but you can move the folder and its contents to another drive too with CopyTrans Shelbee. Let’s begin. Click here to move iTunes backup files to another drive
