Error message after installing iTunes 8.1 plc help

After have installed iTunes I get an error message saying: The folder "iTunes" cannot be found or created, and is required. The default location for this folder is inside the "My Music" folder.
Now I've tried to creat the folder manually, but that doesn't work either
have any of you had this problem too?
I've tried removing it and re-installing iTunes 15 times...

In XP, this us usually caused by a registry problem, See:
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1866
Sometimes My music does not show up in TweakUI. If that happens see:
http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=1731188&#1731188
But be careful it involves editing the registry.
If iTunes installed, you may be able to work round this with a shift key start.
Hold down the shift key and start iTunes. Keep holding the shift key until you are prompted to choose or create a library
If you already have an iTunes folder containing a library, navigate to it and choose iTunes Library.itl. Otherwise create a library in My Music.
(the shift key is the one that makes upper case letters)

  • Restart Error message after installing additional RAM. PLEASE HELP.

    I have a Powerbook G4, 1.33 GHz processor, running 10.3.9. I just recently upgraded my RAM to 1GB, from 256MB. After installing the RAM I have started to encounter problems, where applications will automatically shut down, and also I am receiving a message that cover the entire screen, and states that I must restart the system by holding the power button down, when this appears nothing is functional, I can only power off. I have insured the RAM was installed correctly. I followed all proper procedures when installing. Does this mean the RAM is bad, or something else? Please help!!

    Welcome to the Apple discussions.
    Our Powerbooks are sensitive souls when it comes to RAM, due to the Apple architecture and how power is throttled on the memory bus. While memory can meet the Apple specs, typically cheaper RAM can fail with the symptoms you're seeing. Recommend using Crucial, Kingston (not their value ram memory, though), or Samsung. Crucial guarantees their memory will work when chosen from the memory selector on their web site.
    It is possible you've just got some bad memory and could get a replacement, however, if the brand is unknown, you may want to return it and obtain one of the brands above.

    Hi pholewinski!
    I have a couple of articles for you here that I believe will help you with this issue. The first is an article on advanced troubleshooting, and it can be found here:
    iTunes: Advanced iTunes Store troubleshooting
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ts3297
    If following that article's steps doesn't take care of the issue, you can try the things listed in this article, which is about permissions issues in iTunes:

  • ITunes Error 7 (Windows error 127) after installing iTunes 64-bit for Windows

    After installing iTunes 64-bit for Windows (latest build), I get an error pop-up saying:
    iTunes was not installed correctly. Please reinstall iTunes
    Error 7 (Windows error 127)
    I've gone thru the uninstall, reboot and reinstall process three or four times now. Still nothing.
    Furthermore, after clicking okay to the error, it continues to pop up on it's own every 45 seconds or so.
    There was one other error I came across after trying to launch iTunes after installation.
    See both error messages here:
    http://screencast.com/t/DSg4PpKF5BeX

    Brilliant. Thanks a lot. I've wasted a couple of hours on this nasty bug, & trying all the other suggestions across various threads again and again.
    I now find I had the same registry entry hanging on, despite uninstalling & wiping everything again and again. Having now deleted this key, (I don't even have an iPod), & iTunes 11.1.14 now opens at long last.
    But WHY is this bug not fixed? Enough people are suffering with this across the forum. WHERE is Apple support on this?
    It should have been added to their page at 
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1923
    by now, why hasn't it???
    It's not good enough!
    Re:
    [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\SharedDlls]
    "C:\\Program Files\\iPod\\bin\\iPodService.exe"=dword:80000000
    AHA! This entry for iPodService.exe still exhisted.  So I had no folders on the PC, no installs on the PC and no services running.... BUT this was still in the Registry.
    Step 5 - Delete only the Registry entry above.  NO REBOOT
    Step 6 - Reinstall iTunes64.exe

  • After installing itunes 10 installation was successful but then tells me error 2 (windows error 2), After installing itunes 10 installation was successful but then tells me error 2 (windows error 2)

    After installing itunes 10 installation was successful but then tells me error 2 (windows error 2).

    Let's try a standalone Apple Application Support install. It still might not install, but fingers crossed any error messages will give us a better idea of the underlying cause of the issue.
    Download and save a copy of the iTunesSetup.exe installer file to your hard drive:
    http://www.apple.com/itunes/download/
    Download and install the free trial version of WinRAR:
    http://www.rarlab.com/
    Right-click the iTunesSetup.exe, and select "Extract to iTunesSetup". WinRAR will expand the contents of the file into a folder called "iTunesSetup".
    Go into the folder and doubleclick the AppleApplicationSupport.msi to do a standalone AAS install.
    Does it install properly for you? If so, does iTunes launch properly now?
    If instead you get an error message during the install, let us know what it says. (Precise text, please.)

  • Error messages when downloading Itunes 10.5. HELP PLEASE!!!

    I keep getting two different error messages when downloading Itunes, first one says: An error occured during the installation of assembly "Microsoft.VC80.CRT,type="win32",version="8.0.507276195".publicKeyToken="1fc8b9 a1e18e3b",processorArchitecture="x86".

    The second said: Service 'Apple Mobile Device' (Apple Mobile Device) failed to start. Verify that you have sufficiant priviledges to start system services.
    Does anyone know how I can fix these so I can download the Itune 10.5!!!!

    I have the same issue and a lot of people using Windows 7 64 bits too

  • Error Message when installing iTunes 10.7

    Everytime I try to install the 64 bit version of iTunes I get the following error message:
    Error message: 'Microsoft.VC80.CRT.type="win32".version="8.0.50727.4053".publicKeyToken="1fc8b 3b9a1e18e3b".processorArchitecture="amd64"'.
    I do have a 64 bit version computer. That is not my problem.  This has been happening for over a year now.

    These ones are typically caused by underlying problems on the PC that also often cause Windows Updates to fail to install. If we can fix the Windows Update trouble, we can usually get the iTunes trouble cleaned up en passant.
    Go into your Windows update and try to check for new updates. If updates install, stock up on the ones you're behind on, restarting the PC if requested to do so. After the restart, try installing iTunes again. Does it go through this time for you?
    If windows updates fail to install, go into your Update History and doubleclick the failures. What alphanumeric codes appear for you? (For example, 8007000B.)

  • Error message when installed itunes 9

    Since installing i tunes 9 i get an error on booting my computer and itunes does not automatically recognize my iphone or ipod. The error message states "procedure entry point sqlite3prepareV2 could not be located in DLL library SQLites.dll
    I tried reinstalling itunes but the error persists. Any ideas?

    This has showed up since I upgraded to Snow Leopard, and this dialog came on the screen after upgrading iTunes to 9.01. I have previously had the scanner software installed on the computer - it doesn't work after upgrading to Snow Leopard. I don't have Rosetta turned on.
    I would just go take out the file, but I don't want to mess anything else up in the process. Anyone know if we can just take out this file, or should we uninstall the Canon Lide scanner software?

  • Error7 (Windows error 126) After Installing iTunes

    I got the following error message when unsuccessfully trying to open iTunes:
    “The program can't start because MSVCR80.dll is missing from your computer.  Try reinstalling the program to fix the problem.”
    So following directions I uninstalled iTunes, downloaded the latest iTunes from the iTunes site and attempted to reinstall.  However, it would not reinstall and gave the following error message:
    “Service ‘Apple Mobile Device’ (Apple Mobile Device) failed to start.  Verify that you have sufficient privileges to start system services.”
    After I clicked ignore a dialog box came up saying iTunes had been successfully installed.  Underneath it was another dialog box with a big X in red  which said:
    “iTunes was not installed correctly.  Please reinstall iTunes.  Error7 (Windows error 126)
    Please let me know what to do.

    Click here and follow the instructions. You may need to completely remove and reinstall iTunes and all related components, or run the process multiple times; this won't normally affect its library, but that should be backed up anyway.

    With that one, try heading into your Windows Update and attempting to download some new updates. If they download, try another iTunes install.
    If the Windows updates fail, open your Update History and doubleclick the failed updates. In the small box that comes up, what error message code are you seeing?
    If it's an 0x8007000b, try the following document:
    [Windows Update error 8007000b|http://windows.microsoft.com/en-US/windows7/Windows-Update-error-80070 00b]
    ... then stock up on Windows Updates, and then try another iTunes install.
    If it's a different error code for the Windows Update failures, post back to let us know what it says.
    (The underlying problems that can produce the iTunes install troubles of the type you're getting also typically prevent Windows Updates from installing. So my main strategy with them is to use the Microsoft documentation on the Update errors ... if we can get those fixed, the iTunes trouble is usually cleaned up +en passant.)+
