Can't get itunes to load

I was downloading music into my itunes and realised that it was going into my C drive. I therefore cut all the music folders and pasted them into my D drive, I continued to download music and all was fine. I then closed my computer last night and this morning when I try to open itunes it says 'The folder"iTunes" cannot be found or created, and is required. The default location for this folder is inside the "music" folder'.
I have since moved all the folders back to C drive and uninstalled and re installed itunes thinking this would help. It hasnt.
In the music folder I have the itunes folder containing itunes library genius.itdb, about itunes and itunes short cut,
I have the itunes library genius.itdb folder which is empty
I have about Itunes short cut and the itunes short cut
and finally the itunes setup.
I have no idea what to do so please can someone help me please. I have also tried to restore the comp to before I installed itunes but it keeps coming up with an error.
Can someone please either tell me how to get around this or how to delete everything and go back to factory settings as I have nothing important saved on the hard disk.
Thanks to anyone who can help

Change Win Explorer to not hide file extensions. Find the file named iTunesLibrary.itl.
For Microsoft Windows XP and 2000 the it is stored in:
c:\Documents and Settings\[your username]\My Documents\My Music\iTunes\
For Microsoft Windows Vista the it is stored in:
c:\Users\[your username]\Music\iTunes
Press *and hold* the shift key while starting itunes, and browse to that ITL file you found.

I can't get itunes to load on the computer at all! I have uninstalled and reinstalled and still nothing! Why can't I get itunes to open??

I can't get itunes to open from my desktop. When I click on the icon nothing happens. I have uninstalled and reinstalled and still nothing. Why isn't itunes working??

On my PC I had a problem where the iTunes store would only display a blank white page, I managed to display my account settings, but nothing for music, etc
I treid this and it has immediately sorted it out...
start>programs>accessories> right click on Command Prompt and run as Administrator
then simply enter 'netsh winsock reset' and return
after restarting the PC and loading up iTunes the store was there fine ;-)
I posted this on some other threads and it has been successful for the other people that have tried it

I can't get Itunes to load on my new Samsung Ultrabook?

HI, I have just bought a new Samsung Ultrabook, and was told ITunes would work on this computer. However, when I go to download it (I'm using Windows 7 and Internet Explorer 10 or Mozilla Firefox), the pop up window to download never appears - the web page just goes straight to 'thank you for installing itunes'. I have tried allowing all pop ups, I have deactivated other programs including my antivirus, and still it doesn't work. And no it's not in my downloads window...any suggestions?? I'm getting very frustrated!
Thanks

New computer, can't get iTunes to load music

I've had a variety of problems, and transferred my music from my old computer to my new one (without using my iPod) - just moved the songs and folders. I cannot seem to make iTunes find and import the songs automatically - my only recourse is to "import" one at a time - which is painful for the hundreds of songs i have. Any ideas for me?

the trick was "add folder", and i just picked the highest level folder that had all the albums in it! thanks!

I own a PC and ever since i downloaded the new version of itunes i can not get itunes store to load. its goes about half way then the store goes white! PLEASE help!

I own a PC and itunes store was running fine on it... up until i downloaded the new version and then it quit working it would load about half way and then quit and turn the store home page white i have tried a few different things including re installing, trying to fix it, but nothing has worked!
this has happened to me once before on an older computer and i could never get it back working then either and it has also happened to another person i know and they also have tried to fix it! i am very fusterated with itunes/apple for not fixing this issue becuase it has happened to many others as well!!
any help would be greatly appreciated!
THANKS!!!

I've been working on this all day!!! I've tried everything I know of and can't get it to load either. Sounds like lots of people are having problems. Here is what I have so far...I have uninstalled EVERYTHING on my pc from apple and reinstalled itunes to no avail. I have tried all sorts of things I've read as fixes online. NOTHING has worked. Here is something interesting that i have noticed though. my main pc (which is the one i have always managed my itunes account with for years) is a 32 bit system running windows 7. Yesterday I installed itunes for the first time on my new netbook which is a 64 bit (windows 7) system and it works just fine. i have three other laptops (all window 7) in my household that are all 64 bit operating systems and ALL have updated to 10.5 and THEY ALL work fine. this is FOUR 64 bit systems ALL updated w/10.5 that work and ONE that is a 32 bit that will not. Can't get any help from apple. their suppot *****! I want to get someone on the **** phone or a live chat but cant. *** APPLE????? please let mw know if you find SOMETHING i can try next. I'm out of ideas and patience!

Can't get iTunes update(11.0.1) to load, keeps saying bad signiture.

Can't get iTunes update (11.0.1) to load, keeps saying bad signiture.

That suggests that the installer is getting damaged during the download.
I'd first try downloading an installer from the Apple website using a different web browser:
http://www.apple.com/itunes/download/
If you use Firefox instead of IE for the download (or vice versa), do you get a working installer?

From a new computer I can't get iTunes to recognize my old database.

I keep my iTunes database on an external hard drive. I only plug it into my work laptop (Windows 7) to update podcasts, load new music, and sync to my iPod. I'm forced to switch to a new have a new computer (also Windows 7) and can't get iTunes to use the database on the external drive. Can anyone help?

I would consider reposting your question over in the iTunes for Windows forum as this is more iTunes related. There are many brilliant people who help over there who should be able to help you resolve this.

Any help would be great!

This error usually points into the jailbreak direction. If DFU mode does not help, you can't restore the phone due to the modified software that has been installed before you got the phone.

Can't get itunes to connect to airport express via air tunes

Hi,
I just bought and installed an airport express (for windows 7) everything is now connected but i can't get itunes to recognize my airport express via air tunes. I can see the multiple speakers in itunes, but when i click on it to connect to airport it just comes up with connecting, loads for about a minute then minimizes without connecting.
Has anyone else experienced this? How can i get this to work?

You've probaby solved this by now, but if not... When upgrading itunes on a Vista or Windows 7 machine with Windows Firewall running for some reason Bonjour can't get through the firewall and thus Airplay does not work. Not good when all your Hi-fi's are connected via airport express!
I found to resolve the issue you have to install an older version of Bonjour. It won't work if you try to do this straight from Apple. So try this...
1. Firstly install and older version of itunes from the web (say version 10.1) Try www.oldapps.com
2. Then find the Bonjour file in program files
3. Cut and paste it to your desktop with its contents
4. Uninstall itunes and Bonjour via your control panel (the desktop file of Bonjour you moved will still be there).
5. Install your new version of itunes, say version 10.5, from the apple website.
6. Before opening it go to program files and cut the (newly installed) Bonjour file and paste it somewhere different to the desktop (you can't just delete it). It does not matter where you won't be needing it.
7. Now Cut and paste the old version of Bonjour you stuck on the desktop in Program files in place of the one you just moved.
8. Hey presto, Airplay, Windows firewall and your Airport Express' should all get on again.
Hope this works...

I can not get itunes to open on Windows 7...

I just got a new iPhone and wanted to back up my old iPhone to my computer one more time before switching over...Two hours later I still can not get iTunes to open. I have two different acounts on my computer, iTunes will load on the secondary account, but not my main account. I logged into iTunes on that account and now have issues with libraries, and overriding and synching and deleting, and a million other messages that made me nervous about backing up my phone through the secondary account. I just want to get iTunes to work on my main account. I have tried several different things, and am getting incredibly frustrated. Just in case I messed up a step of the "obvious" fixes, I would appreciate anything anyone could suggest to help Thank you!
