Eror when trying to open ITunes after installing
I get this error when I try and open iTunes immediately after installing it on my new Windows Vista pc. Please help.
"The folder itunes can not be found or created and is required. the default location for this folder is in side the My music folder."
HP Other OS Vista
"The folder itunes can not be found or created and is required. the default location for this folder is in side the My music folder."
the interesting complication here is that you're getting this in Vista, rather than XP. since it's typically associated with a Registry problem on the PC, i'd proceed with extreme caution if you tried to adapt the standard techniques. (i'm honestly not sure if TweakUI is even compatible with Vista.)
anyhoo, all these caveats being mentioned, the standard place to start with one of these in XP is with the following document:
iTunes for Windows: "Disk is locked" or "iTunes folder cannot be found" when installing or opening iTunes
... and, in XP, the standard thing to try if you run into the complication where My Music doesn't appear as an option in TweakUI is the alternate procedure from this Nigel Carpenter post:
Nigel Carpenter: re: Itunes problem
whether or not these work in Vista will depend on how the registry is structured there. if any expert on cross-OS Registry comparison could weigh in at this point, i'd be most obliged.

Keep getting an error message when trying to open iTunes 11 after installing...running Windows ...have tried most fixes ...message says ...iTunes.exe - Bad Image ...iTunes c:\Program Files(x86)\Common Files\Apple Apple Application Support\CoreADI.dll is not designed to run on Windows or it contains an error .....

How do I fix this !!! Please...iTunes.exe - Bad Image ...iTunes c:\Program Files(x86)\Common Files\Apple Apple Application Support\CoreADI.dll is not designed to run on Windows or it contains an error .....
Taken at face value, you're having trouble with an Apple Application Support program file there. (Apple Application Support is where single copies of program files used by multiple different Apple programs are kept.)
Let's try something relatively simple first. Restart the PC. If you're using Vista or 7,now head into your Uninstall a program control panel, select "Apple Application Support" and then click "Repair". If you're using XP,head into your Add or Remove Programs control panel, select "Apple Application Support", click "Change" and then click "Repair".
If no joy after that, try the more rigorous uninstall/reinstall procedure from the following post. (If you've got XP, although the procedure is for Vista and 7, just read "Computer" as "My Computer", read "Uninstall a program control panel" as "Add or Remove programs control panel" and assume the system is 32-bit, and you'll be doing the right things.)

Error - 50 when trying to open iTunes. Have tried uninstalling all 6 components and reinstalling but no joy Happened after an upgrade. Can anyone help?
By way of experiment, let's try launching iTunes as an administrator.
In Computer, open Local Disk C: or whichever drive you have your program files installed on.
If you have a 32-bit version of Windows, open the "Program files" folder.
If you have a 64-bit version of Windows, open the "Program files (x86)" folder.
Open the "iTunes" folder.
Right-click on the iTunes.exe file and select "run as administrator".
Does it launch without the -50 now? -
We cannot open iTunes after installing it. When we click on the icon the licensing agreement comes up and we click Agree but then nothing happens. Each time we click the icon the agreement comes up. We've tried uninstalling and reinstalling but we have the exact same problem.
Refer to steps to remove SC files here:

Then proceed to repair your QuickTime. START / CONTROL PANEL / PROGRAMS N FEATURES / highlight QUICKTIME and click REPAIR. -

Apple just released iTunes 10.3.1 and this article to fix this problem. It looks like you'll just have to update to iTunes 10.3.1.
