Since this is a thread on moving files can someone help me? I'm am 99.9% technologically impaired. My old desktop was home to all my photos and itunes stuff. At the advice of a few intelligent people I came to realize that was bad. Photos are now all backed up on external HD and disk. That part is cool.

Can someone please explain in 3rd grade terminology how to get my itunes to run off of my external HD?

Are you trying to set up your external drive as your primary library location? Go to the Edit menu, select Preferences and in the Preferences dialog box select the Advanced tab. The top of that tab has the place where you can set the location of your iTunes library.

Your plane ticket is in the mail. Either that, or I'll give you a call later.

Thanks all for your instructions. TBH I haven't had a chance to work on it yet.
