My kids have an overabundance of iTunes on their pc; I mean a massive
amount. Would this slow everything down seeing the hard drive is
getting close to full? It certainly slows down any security software
because of the sheer number of files. They've never backed anything
up, the iPod manual says to use DVD IIRC. I bought an external hard
drive to move all the iTunes to, but can't figure out how to do it?
Anybody got any suggestions?

Operating systems and applications need a certain amount of free space on
the hard disk to function efficiently. When they can't find it they try
to use what's available in RAM. The end result is very slow operation.
If the external hard disk shows in the file system, you should be able to
drag and drop the iTunes files.
Enter the iTunes folder, do a <CTRL><A> to select all the files, the
click on the files and HOLD DOWN the left mouse button. Press and HOLD
DOWN the <SHIFT> key and drag the files, with the mouse, to the nnew
folder on the external hard disk.
They'll be moved to the external disk and erased from the main drive.
That's for a PC, I'm not sure if it would work on a Mac.
Have fun! :-)
