iTunes Media and iThing apps



I thought up something quite smart, I believed, when I went to iTunes > Preferences > Advanced and changed the location for my iTunes fodler. The new location was in my Dropbox folder Dropbox > Media > iTunes and therefore would be copied to my Dropbox account and easily copied to other computers and if my harddrive goes boink my music and other media survives in the Dropbox account. Since the application folder for iPhone/iPod applications live inside the iTunes folder one might think that the applications also will get copied to the Dropbox account but no.

Even if I change the location of my iTunes folder the iPhone/iPod applications is placed in ~/Music/iTunes/. I even tried to remove all my iPhone applications on the computer and reloaded them from my iPhone but that didn’t help. They still ended up in ~/Music/iTunes. Why, Oh Why? If the folder is inside the iTunes folder and that is changed it should move along with the iTUnes folder, or?
