tutorial change payment method iTunes Mac

Do you want everything downloaded from iTunes to have a specific folder and not be the alternative that the system offers you by default? You can redirect all downloaded traffic (podcasts, music, books, etc.) to a folder that you have created on the desktop, inside another folder or wherever you really want. The steps are simple.

It is true that this process is very simple; the only thing we should do is look better among the options that the programs offer us. Likewise, we also advise that this will not relocate content already hosted in your current folder, but the changes will take effect as soon as you apply the change.

iTunes change location download content

The first thing to know is that usually, the storage of all the content managed through iTunes is usually done in the following path: Home> Music> iTunes (you can quickly check this using the Finder. We remind you again that the changes will be applied after the change, the previously stored will not be moved from that current location. So Take advantage, clean up obsolete content and save space on your hard drive. That said, what you should do first is launch "iTunes".

Up in the menu bar, click on the "iTunes" option and go to "Preferences". Click again. A pop-up window will appear with different options divided into tabs to choose from. The one that interests us is "Advanced". When clicking on this option, the first thing we will find is the current location where all the contents are downloaded. It will be time to make the change. You will see that to the right you have two options: «Change ...» and «Restore». Choose the first one and select the folder or destination you want to use from now on. Accept and go.

Do you remember the other option that referred to "Restore"? Clicking on it we will return to the original location in case we no longer want to save the contents in a different place than the original one.
