How to do itunes disk is full

People who use iTunes should know that the current version of iTunes backup path can not be modified, backup files can only be stored in the system disk (C drive), but what if the disk is full, For Windows users, the only viable solution at the moment is to use Junction. Let's take a look at it now.

This is a command line tool that needs to be executed in the cmd window. The method is as follows (take win7 as an example):

1. Download the Junction and copy it to the Windows directory.

2. Find the backup path of iTunes. For example, the path of win7 is C:\\Users\\username\\AppData\\Roaming\\Apple Computer, and the directory MobileSync is used to store the backup file.

3. Close iTunes. Move (cut) the directory MobileSync to another disk, such as the D disk root directory (D:\\MobileSync). If there are a lot of files, this process is quite long.

4. Run cmd. Enter the command in the cmd window:

Copy Code

junction "C:\\Users\\Username\\AppData\\Roaming\\Apple Computer\\MobileSync" "D:\\MobileSync"

Username and D:\\MobileSync are modified according to your own situation.

After the command is executed, you will find that MobileSync, which has just been removed from C:\\Users\\username\\AppData\\Roaming\\Apple Computer, is back, but the folder icon has an arrow with a shortcut. At this point, the link is created.

5. Open iTunes and verify that the backup file is read. If so, you're done.

If you are not sure about the command of the junction, you can do this exercise experience, provided that you download and copy the junction to the windows directory

1. In the root directory of the c drive Create a new folder test

2. Cut the test folder you just created, paste it into the d disk root directory

3. (win7) Click Start, type cmd Enter, run the command Line window

4. In the command line window, type: junction "c:\\test" "d:\\test", pay attention to the full path directory with double quotes, so that the path contains Chinese characters or spaces. The command failed to run.

5. If you are normal, you will be prompted: Created: c:\\test Targetted at: d:\\test

6. In the file manager, you can see that it has just been cut. The test directory is back, just a little extra arrow indicating that this is a link directory.

7. Try to copy some files into the test directory of the c drive. You will find that the test directory of the d drive also has the same file (the actual storage location).

8. The above operation is equivalent to moving the folder of the c drive to the d drive, and the directory of the c drive is just a link. For the default directory of itunes, you can move to the d drive in the same way.

9. If you are still interested, try deleting the c:\\test folder, and then go to the d drive to see if the test folder is still there.
