HT1660 When I install itunes, the xml and media folders are placed on desktop not in my music folder on Vista where I want them to be

So I've installed and uninstalled itunes 3 times, using control panel to unintall everything, then ccleaner to make sure nothing is left over. No ipod service and stuff left.
Each time I install, the defult folder where the Media Folder, and album art folder plus all the xml and other files are put on my desk top.
Opening up Itunes, preferences, changed folder to user/music/itunes it doesn't work, keeps defaulting back to desktop. Help please
OS is Windows Vista

Good to hear you got it fixed. A common reason for this issue is a problem with security permissions. This is another approach that may help in such cases.
Repair Permissions
Right-click on your main iTunes folder and click Properties, then go to the Securitytab and click Advanced. Use the Change Permissions... button grant to your account (or the Users group) and SYSTEM full control of this folder, subfolders and files, then tick the option to Replace permissions entries... which will repair permissions throughout the library. When complete switch to the General tab, click in the Read-only check box to clear it, then click Apply.
If you don't have the option to change the permissions then use the Owner tab and Edit... button to take ownership from an account with administrator privileges. Tick the option to Replace owner on subcontainers and objects.
Repeat with the media folder if it isn't stored inside the main iTunes folder.

When I switch on, the Apple and progress icons appear but it does not start.

When I switch on, the Apple and progress icons appear but it does not start. I tried resetting PRAM, Utilities, everything. It says the system is OK. I even reinstalled Tiger, but nothing has changed.

Given that you were able to reinstall the OS, you must be able to boot from the install disc.
Have you run Apple Hardware Test?
Tried running on just one RAM module, then switch it to other slot, then repeat with other module?
Safe Boot?
Checked SMART status?
Run Repair Disk:Boot from install disc (insert disc > restart > immediately hold down ckey and keep holding it until you see “Preparing Installation”) > at firstscreen select the language and click Continue > click on the Utilities Menuin the menu bar > open Disk Utility > select your HD in the panel on theleft side> click Repair Disk at bottom of main window. Run this at leasttwice, and keep running it until it says “appears ok” twice in a row. If thatdoesn’t happen, you may need a stronger utility such as DiskWarrior or if thedirectory is damaged beyond repair, you may need to reinstall the OS, or youmay have a damaged HD (repair utilities can only repair the directorystructure, not the HD itself). When this is finished, quit Disk Utility, quitthe installer, and restart. Once booted normally, go to Applications >Utilities > Disk Utility and run Repair Permissions.

Itunes music and media folders are different on different computers

I have a Macbook and the iTUNES music is in the /users/name/Music/iTunes/iTunes Music. Music is loaded directly into the iTunes Music folder. There is not an additional music folder under this folder.
On my IMAC the music is as follows /users/name/Music/iTunes/iTunes Media. Under the iTunes Media folder there is an additional folder called Music where the music has been placed. Why does one computer have the additional Music folder and one does not? Should they be all the same?
All preference settings are the same and all music plays fine in either scenario.

Your macbook is using the "old" way of organizing media. Your iMac is using the new way.
First make sure the macbook is running up to date software. then in itunes select
File (in menu bar) - Library - Organize library - then click on "upgrade to iTunes Media organization", then OK. It should make it look like your imac

When re-installing itunes the message "The installer has insufficient privileges to access this directory" came up halfway through..

I've been working on trying to itunes up all morning and it refuses to open. I uninstalled it with hopes to reinstall buuuut no. I've been shuting my computer on and off and trying to repair itunes but NOTHING HAPPENS!! Plus, there is nothing on any of these forums that works. I love itunes, but this is ridiculous...

Apple has an FAQ for troubleshooting an install and how to manually uninstall and clean up iTunes - which can happen if you had an older iTunes for instance and upgraded.
www.apple.com/support/itunes
Consider listing what OS you have - iTunes has worked but is not installing properly on the Windows 8 Pro release it seems. Not a huge suprise, though it did work in the previews and even the trial edition for Enterprise.

Messages from the Inbox and Sent folders are being transfered to the Outbox

Why are the messages from my Inbox and Sent folders being transfered to my Outbox?

There is probably something wrong with the Envelope Index file. In the few cases I've seen something similar, however, there was also something wrong with the structure of the Mail folder, and we must fix that before trying to re-create the index.
In the Finder, go to ~/Library/Mail/. With that folder open, do Edit > Select All (⌘A), then Edit > Copy (⌘C), and paste it in your reply to this post, to let me see the names of the files and folders present at the root level of the Mail folder.
Before actually posting that information, you may edit it so that the file/folder names do not reveal any details you wish to keep private, e.g. you may replace any real username with "username" if you wish; similarly, you may disguise any domain names you don't want to be revealed. Try to be consistent in how you disguise those details, though, as we may need to refer to them in subsequent posts.
Now, go to ~/Library/Mail/Mailboxes/. With that folder open, repeat the process to let me see the names of the files and folders it contains. Again, you may disguise any mailbox names you wish to keep private.
Finally, locate the account folders within ~/Library/Mail/ -- their name begins with the account type (POP, IMAP, .Mac), followed by the account username and the incoming mail server. For each account folder, repeat the process to let me see the names of the files and folders it contains.
Note: For those not familiarized with the ~/ notation, it refers to the user's ~ folder. You can easily locate any of the folders referred to in this post by copying the file path here, doing Go > Go to Folder in the Finder, and pasting the file path there.

When creating yahoo email the "To:" and "Cc:" boxes are very large,ie, instead of just on 1 line.

OS Linux, Suse 11.2
The problem does not happen using another browser tested on same PC, same OS.
Instead of expanding as needed I have enough for 50 entries for To and CC.

Isolated the problem to specific login account. Problem resolved after commenting out 2 chrome files userChrome.css userContent.css
So far nothing else seems impacted.

When sending a gmail the text and jpeg attachments are scrambling

Does anyone know why this is?

Basic troubleshooting from the User's Guide is reset, restart, restore (first from backup then as new). Try each of these in order until the issue is resolved.

HT201413 when i installed itunes in my old computer it would disable my CD burner and I was only able to burn through itunes. has this problem been resloved or will i have the same problem when i download it into my new computer?

When I installed itunes into my old computer (loaded with Windows Vista) it deleated my CD burner and would only allow me to burn via itunes - I had to go in to Best Buy to have them fis the problem but was told not to download new updates for itunes or it would do the same. with this fix I am not able to burn CDs from itunes which is a bummer. If I download itunes onto my new computer (loaded with Windows 7) is it going to do the same thing or has this problem been resolved?

Copy them from your old computer, or your backuo copy of your old computer. to your new one.
The music sync is one way - computer to ipod. the exception is itunes purchases.

I have the 64bit version of itunes on windows 7. When I connect my iphone5 it says that I don't have the correct software and that I need to install itunes 64bit! And I can go no further! I've uninstalled and reinstalled but it makes no difference. I have no access to other computers so at the moment I don't have a backup for my iphone should anything go wrong.
Please Help!

Hello ekbowers,
It sounds like you have installed the 64 bit version of iTunes, but you continue to the get an error message that suggests to download the 64 bit version any time you connect your iPhone 5. I understand that you have already uninstalled and reinstalled iTunes, but sometimes you may need to uninstall additional components related to iTunes to completely remove it from your system.
I recommend following the steps in this article to completely uninstall iTunes:
Removing and reinstalling iTunes, QuickTime, and other software components for Windows Vista or Windows 7
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1923
Once you have completely uninstalled iTunes, you can download the 65 bit version of iTunes for Windows here:
iTunes 11.0.4 for Windows 64

Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.

Click on your preference and check the Parental tab for possible restrictions. Open iTunes, then click the iTunes menu, select preferences after the window opens click on the Parental icon, take a look at the content restrictions section.

Try looking at the two previous discussions listed on the right side of this page with your same question.
Also, try searching/posting in the iTunes forum since you do not have an iPod problem.
