The initial extraction of the download went to the linked directory on D:, then the DMG files were extracted in to %TEMP%\$app(n) and the iPod was soon rescued after that. Even so, look at how relentlessly iTunes gets updated, even when there’s no real change: nine updates in 2014.

Overkill, but I was trying to work quickly- probably not a good idea to link to a sub off %TEMP%).Īnyway, worked like a charm. The "Temp" part is dynamic (is created at the operation and deleted after) and appears to be hard coded in iTunes 10, so I moved the "iTunes" folder from above to the other drive, then made the junction point to "D:\Temp\Apple\iTunes" (you do where you want I made "Apple" read only to avoid autodeleting and invalidating the junction. The initial dmg files are extracted to C:\Documents and Settings\ All Users\Application Data\Apple Computer\iTunes\Temp. While you got the right directory for where iTunes keeps downloads, that particular file is relatively small and not where it extracts to (where all the space is eaten). If you have any other information, how was it working before, have you moved it to a network location for example, that would also help. Then people can start to help you in a more targeted way. The other does involve junction, but you got the wrong directory. What OS, what version of iTunes etc for a start. One is changing the TEMP variable to D:\temp (or whatever the second hard drive is). The answer is with two parts, no dealing with the registry.
