***? Error message and itunes not opening

I just installed iTunes, and it will not open. 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."
What does this mean and why exactly is is popping up? How do I fix the problem so I can open iTunes? I've been surfing the net for about 4 hours trying to find solutions and can't find anything. I'm getting aggravated.
Please help!!
P.S. I've unistalled both iTunes and QuickTime, reinstalled them both first as a combo pack then separately, restarted my computer several times, and made sure everything wasn't a "read only" file. Nothing seems to work.

Are you using the new Mavericks OS? If you upgrade to 10.9 with the application already installed the old prefs will have been left behind; so you need to clear them. Start by quitting PSE9.
Launch Finder and click the Go menu whilst holding down the Option (alt) key. Then go to Library >> Preferences and clear everything relating to PSE9 which usually means deleting the following files:
com.adobe.PhotoshopElements.plist
Adobe Photoshop Elements 9 Paths
Adobe Photoshop Elements 9 Settings
Also see this link if you normally have Finder set to the cover flow view:

The instructiion at 0x5de7cfe3 referenced memory at 0x00000004. The memory could not be read. I keep getting this error message, and iTunes keeps opening automatically.

I upgraded to 10.5 last weekend, and since then my iTunes keeps popping open. I get the error message above, but sometimes the first "code" is different, the last time it was 0x6473cfe3 instead. So irritating....

Try updating your QuickTime Player to the most recent version. Does that clear up the launch errors in iTunes?

Error message about iTunes not opening

On one account on my iMac (my admin account), when I try to open iTunes, I get the following message:
The folder "iTunes" cannot be found or created, and is required. The default location for this folder is inside the "Music" folder.
The other user accounts work fine.
Any suggestions?
Thanks,
Boris

I am using Adobe Acrobat 9 Standard version in Windows 8.1 and when I try to create a .pdf file, I receive the following error message "Acrobat could not open "file name.log" because it is either not a supported file type or because the file has been damaged. To create a PDF document, go to the source application then print the document to .pdf" I am going to the source application and printing the document to .pdf yet it's saving the file as a .log file. After reinstalling the software, I initially didn't encounter this problem but on my second and third attempts to convert files to .pdf format, this error message reappeared. How do I resolve this problem?

I have a similar problem which i did not have before...and it exists only in some powerpoint files which i want to print as a pdf file...and i get the same message as above.

Then you either have a network problem or a hardware problem or a corrupted hard drive. You might try:
Repair the Hard Drive and Permissions
Boot from your Snow Leopard Installer disc. After the installer loads select your language and click on the Continue button. When the menu bar appears select Disk Utility from the Utilities menu. After DU loads select your hard drive entry (mfgr.'s ID and drive size) from the the left side list. In the DU status area you will see an entry for the S.M.A.R.T. status of the hard drive. If it does not say "Verified" then the hard drive is failing or failed. (SMART status is not reported on external Firewire or USB drives.) If the drive is "Verified" then select your OS X volume from the list on the left (sub-entry below the drive entry,) click on the First Aid tab, then click on the Repair Disk button. If DU reports any errors that have been fixed, then re-run Repair Disk until no errors are reported. If no errors are reported click on the Repair Permissions button. Wait until the operation completes, then quit DU and return to the installer.
If DU reports errors it cannot fix, then you will need Disk Warrior and/or Tech Tool Pro to repair the drive. If you don't have either of them or if neither of them can fix the drive, then you will need to reformat the drive and reinstall OS X.
You can also try downloading from another computer on a different network connection.

I recently purchased a MacBook Air and was told by Apple that Keynote and Pages were compatible with MS Applications.. I have since tried to open a Powerpoint Presentation but it comes up with an error message and is not right. Help!

I recently purchased a MacBook Air and was told by Apple that Keynote and Pages were compatible with MS Applications.. I have since tried to open a Powerpoint Presentation but it comes up with an error message and is not right. Help!

If there are fonts, transitions, builds, video or audio in the PowerPoint file that are not compatible with Keynote, it will either prevent the presentation opening or Keynote will substitute the settings causing playback changes.
I use Open Office to play and open any PowerPoint files sent to me, they play exactly as in PowerPoint.
Open Office is free, you can download it here:

Ipad, Error message "Safari could not open the page"

Hi... I am getting the error message "Safari could not open the page because the server stopped responding"
I have read the previous replies to this error message and have made sure the Ipad is connected to internet (skype works fine.)
I have also done a hard reset on my Cisco router.
I have Reset Ipad to factory settings twice.
I have Reset network settings five times
I have Powered off and on five times,
turned wifi off and on countless times.
Any idea other ideas? Ipad was bought in US 3 weeks ago. Worked fine at hotel in mexico. I am now in Bolivia. Different countries screwing it up? Could my router be too old? My Mac and iphone work fine on it though, although they are also old and since my macbook refuses to update it runs on OSX 10.5.8
Thanks, your help is immensely appreciated.

Can you connect to the internet using other WiFi networks? Have you even tried outside of your own home WiFi network? Have you tried anything I here yet?
iOS: Troubleshooting Wi-Fi networks and connections
Occasionally I get this message in Safari but I also can't get online with any browser when I get the message. What I always do - and it always works for me - is to close all apps on my iPad and reset the device. I don't know if closing apps has any real effect or not. Most likely is it the system reset that brings it back to normal behavior.
Due to the fact that you have restored to factory settings twice already, I can't believe that resetting the iPad would do any good at all. But you are getting nowhere anyway, so try it if you like.
In order to close all of your apps, drag the app up from the multitasking display. Double tap the home button and you will see apps lined up going left to right across the screen. Swipe to get to the app that you want to close and then swipe "up" on the app preview thumbnail to close it.
Reset the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider if it appears on the screen - let go of the buttons. Let the iPad start up.

Error message - and iTunes will not play anything at all

After scouring forums for similar issues, I have tried a complete uninstall and reinstall of iTunes with MacAfee firewall disabled. Nada. iTunes starts with an error message saying 'Configuration error, audio and video files may not play back correctly' (or similar). Library comes up and I can see my recent purchases, but nothing will play. Frustrating to say the least.
I am Windows 7, I have McAfee and Malwarebytes running.
What else can I try? This is extra infuriating as I have just purchased five albums of new music.

My apple mail has an error message and won't open after iTunes update 6/20/14

I have a MacBook 13 Aluminum using Mountain Lion/MavericksX. Soon after I did a random update for iTunes mid June 2014 I noticed that I could no longer open my mail on my desktop. I did tell Apple about it when the error message came up, but I haven't heard anything and the last update 7/1/14 didn't help. I can use Entourage, but I like Apple mail better. Any ideas? Yow

I had all but given up on the Apple mail. Then I remembered that I hadn't checked it since my last X update yesterday. So, I tried and of course, APPL fixed it. Apple is so fantastic. Sorry but there is no problem to work on.

Well I feel a bit silly about this. I gave up on Apple mail and was using Entourage. Yesterday I did the most recent update from APPL and hadn't checked to see if they'd come up with a fix. I'd written them to ask about it because the error occurred after the iTunes update so I figured there was a bug. I just opened it, and poof, apple mail again. It did go through something and dinged and opened. Thank you for writing me. Y

I can't open the iTunes store and keep getting this error message. "Registry settings used by the iT drivers for importing & burning CDs & DVDs are missing. Reinstall iTunes." I've reinstalled iT a half dozen times with no results.

You might have two different things going on at once here.
Starting with the registry settings message.
I'd start with the following document, with one modification. At step 12 after typing GEARAspiWDM press the Enter/Return key once prior to clicking OK. (Pressing Return adds a carriage return in the field and is important.)

If you closed itunes by Clicking the Red Button it is not enough. you need to Quit iTunes
