When trying to backup my itunes library to a memory stick - from itunes when you try the only options are to a cd or dvd disc. Anyone know how i can bypass these options

You can do it however If you have a large library you'd be better off backing up to a cd otherwise you'd need lots of memory sticks. Have you got an external hard drive?

Bill, I use 64 Gig flash drives (for graphics and photographs, usually large .tiff or .raw files) and they can hold a lot of music. Sandisk is my favourite brand through the years (you can order such USB sticks from TRNC):

send your files to my computer and insert your stick open both and reduce them so you can view your files and your memory stick then simply drag and drop the selected tunes on to the memory card. to do this pick a tune and left click while movin your mouse or finger at the same time drag it over . youl know cause it looks like its ghosting across. when you get it there remove the finger from the left click button to drop it into place x
