Cant open Itunes since ive Moved my music folder to External Hardrive

Can't Open iTunes
I recently transfered music over to an external hard drive. I just bought an iphone and I can no longer open itunes on my laptop unless the external hard drive is attached. I get an error that reads: I need itunes to sync all calander events and the like daily and don't want to have to be hooked up to the external drive
The folder "itunes" cannot be found or created and is required. The default location for this folder is inside the "My Music" folder
I have tried a number of things including uploading all of the files from the external drive back into my laptop and it still does not work. I've tried re-installing itunes that did not work either.
Can anyone help

Here is how to move iTunes to an external drive : http://www.ilounge.com/index.php/articles/comments/moving-your-itunes-library-to -a-new-hard-drive/48

  • Cant Open/Install since newest update

    Hello,
    This is my first post here because i have never had issues with itunes/ipod before. here is my issue-
    Ever since the most recent update, when i would click my icon for itunes on my desktop it would say.
    "this action is only valid for products that are currently installed" even though i just watched the installation finish. so i just would then try to install itunes again, so i redownloaded the installation file from apple.com, the file openes fine, starts installing, but during the installation, pretty sure its in the part where it says it is removing the old version of itunes, it says "the feature u are trying to use is on a network resoruce that is unavailable, click OK, or enter an alternate path to a folder containing the installation package itunes.msi" ive searched for this file and i do not have it on my computer, this just started with the newest update, i cant open itunes at all now, so i ask for some help here, thank you!

    In regards to iTunes content, an iPhone can be synced or manually managed with music and video with an iTunes library on a single computer only, and photos can be transferred from a single computer only. When transferring iTunes content and photos from another computer, all iTunes content and photos transferred from a different computer will be erased from the iPhone first.
    You need to decide which computer you want to transfer iTunes content and photos from. If this will now be your computer at work, you will need to transfer your iTunes library and your photos from your Mac to your PC. You can transfer your iTunes library from your Mac to your PC at work following the instructions included with this link. This will make the iTunes library on your PC at work identical to your iTunes library on your Mac at the time it is transferred from your Mac. You will also need to authorize your PC at work with your iTunes account with iTunes - the same iTunes account used on your Mac.

  • Can't open itunes since i installed lion

    Since i updated to Mac OS X 10.7 i cant open Itunes, iv'e installed the latest version of itunes but it wont work. Anybody know what to do?

    1. Update your version of iTunes (10.5.2).
    2. Post in the iPhoto forum where those experts are.

    cant open itunes. get error message 7 followed by error message windows error 127.     i have redownloaded new updates with luck.   window xp

    For general advice see Troubleshooting issues with iTunes for Windows updates.
    The steps in the second box are a guide to removing everything related to iTunes and then rebuilding it, which is often a good starting point unless the symptoms indicate a more specific approach. Review the other boxes and the list of support documents further down page in case one of them applies.
    Your library should be unaffected by these steps but there is backup and recovery advice elsewhere in the user tip.

    Hello there, thumerick.
    The following Knowledge Base article addresses the very issue you're describing:
    iTunes 11.1.4 for Windows: Unable to install or open
    http://support.apple.com/kb/TS5376
    Check for .dll files
    Go to C:\Program Files (x86)\iTunes and C:\Program Files\iTunes and look for .dll files.
    If you find QTMovie.DLL, or any other .dll files, move them to the desktop.
    Reboot your computer.
    Note: Depending on your operating system, you may only have one of the listed paths.
    Uninstall and reinstall iTunes
    Uninstall iTunes and all of its related components.
    Reboot your computer. If you can't uninstall a piece of Apple software, try using the Microsoft Program Install and Uninstall Utility.
    Re-download and reinstall iTunes 11.1.4.
    Thanks for reaching out to Apple Support Communities.
    Cheers,

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