Here is a simple guide on how to move iTunes to an external hard drive. First open iTunes and go to preferences. Then go to Advanced and write down where your iTunes folder currently resides. Next, change where your iTunes folder location is to your external hard drive. Then, under the Advanced menu at the top of your toolbar, select Consolidate Library. This copies everything to your external hard drive. Now go back to where your iTunes folder was located (you should have written this down) and delete the iTunes Music folder, (nothing else!).
