Download folder changed, please help
I was screwing around with some terminal commands and I changed my downloads folder.
The bar with 'name', 'date added' etc has changed and I can't sort my files anymore.
I added a picture showing what it looks like now
Any of you know a command to revert it?
Sometimes settings can get into a funny state and doing what you did, toggling the setting from what it is to something else and back again, will clear it.
Be careful with the terminal. In a sense you got off with a mild wake up. Most cases of 'I did something in the terminal and now I can't …' usually end with something like boot!

Having troubles running iTunes! I downloaded iTunes just fine, but when I try to open it, it tells me iTunes is in a locked disk or I dont have permissions to write to this folder. Please help! I purchased an iPod for my son and wanted to put music on it.
Hello there KRerssig,
I was looking through our resources and found an article with information regarding that error message. The article is called iTunes for Windows XP: "Disk is locked" or "iTunes folder cannot be found" when installing or opening iTunes found here: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1866.
Here is the text but the article contains images for a visual reference:
Verify the location of your Windows XP My Music folder. The default location for this folder is
C:\Documents and Settings\username\My Documents\My Music
If you do not have this folder at the default location and have not moved it to another location, consider creating one inside your My Documents folder.
Download and install Tweak UI from the Microsoft PowerToys website athttp://www.microsoft.com/windowsxp/downloads/powertoys/xppowertoys.mspx
Note: This utility is for Windows XP only. Please review the system requirements before installing.
Once you have installed Tweak UI, open it from the Start menu.
In the column on the left, click on the plus symbol next to My Computer and select Special Folders.
In the right pane under Special Folders, choose My Music from the Folder pop-up menu.
Click the Change Location button. You may see a warning message appear with precautions for changing this setting; after reviewing the message, click Yes.
In the resulting window, browse for the My Music folder as described in step 1, and click OK.
Reinstall or open iTunes.
If these steps do not resolve the issue, the settings for the current user may be corrupted, which could cause iTunes not to install or open. You may have to install and open iTunes in a different Windows user account.
All the best,

I have been trying for over 2 weeks now trying to get my iTunes to open up so I can use my iTunes but I have not had any luck since I up graded to the new itunes. I have tried uninstalling (all apple programs) and reinstalling and nothing seems to work. Everytime I try to open my iTunes I receive the following message - The iTunes Library.itl file cannot be found or created. The default location for this file is in the "i Tunes" folder in the "Music" folder. Please help as I'm getting very frustrated and want to throw every apple device in the trash!!!
FYI: I thought about getting the iPhone but since I"m not having very good luck getting assistance with my iPod/iTunes I think I will rethink my decision.Found the solution.

How do I sync my iPod to iTunes? I've used the final steps from Article HT1329, but when I open my iPod there is no "iTunes" folder. Please help!
Ah I see. That folder would only be there if you had perfomed the earlier steps in that section.

Why all my previous downloaded apps (free or paid) suddenly not showing up on the iTunes store "purchased" section. Every time I select "purchased", the next screen shows "no purchased app available for downloaded"?? It is the same on my iphone4 or ipad 2!! Please help!!
Dear Metal Wheels and King Penguin.
I have to actually same problem today 23.10.2012. For an example I have only changed billing methods and have bought hundreds of apps but I remember clearly that I bought for an example ,,Wikipanion Plus'' and ,,OPlayer'' which is now HD OPlayer and I did not see them in purchased items, neither ,,not on ipad/iphone'' nour ,,not on my computer'' and I check in both my computer. I confirm hereby that I took the chance to re-buy these two Apps again through the same account but I got the message ,,As you have bought the previous version on this account you will get this update for free'' so I clicked yes and I got them both. This doesnt only proof that I have purchased them before and purchased items in iTunes Store has some lacks to fix but also it proofs that I also bought them through that specific account as I had to confirm the buying process. In my opnion this is not a thing which Apple should be relaxed with as its very important that powerusers and regular consumers can trust and rely on doing business and to shop via iTunes. I have a lot of expensive Apple Hardware and for me this is a stepping stone and a serious test on the circle of trust. If this cant be fixed I cannot recommend others to trust the store.

Storage space for downloading movies. Please help!
I'm trying to download 3 disney movies to my ipad and upgraded my storage plan to 20GB. I currently have one movie downloaded. In the settings, It says that I have 20.4 GB available, but when I try to download a movie, it says I don't have enough available storage? Please help!!
iCloud storage has no effect on your iPad's physical storage, which cannot be increased.
You need to delete stuff of your iPad to make room for the movie.
Buying iCloud storage will not change this. -
Problem trying to move iTunes folder! Please HELP!
Please help. I am using Windows 7 with iTunes 10 and cannot for whatever reason move or change the location of the iTunes media folder. I have uninstalled icloud (was using with iPad) and iTunes several times but each time I change the location and consolidate (i really don't mind loosing all the stored info) the folder jumps back to the same location on my D drive. I have tried everything from following online guides and even changing the default music folder location but it keeps going back to the same place.
Please help!!!!!
Many Thanks!!!!!See also make a split library portable which explains what to do when things aren't in the default layout.
Note, if iTunes won't stay connected to a new library after you've used the shift-start technique then it is possible the problems are down to a corrupt iTunes Prefs.plist file.
