Followed cnet direct. to move itunes from c drive to ext. drive, worked, deleted off c, still worked, now says AVFoundationCF.dll not found-reinstall, don't want to lose data

I recently followed cnet directions to move itunes from c drive on pc running xp pro, to external drive, for space reasons.  Process worked.  I tunes ran from e drive, verified data on e drive, deleted all apple applications on c drive so I could remove itunes and recover space.  Verified itunes still worked off of new short cut and and that target was e drive.  Now itunes won't open and get message "AVFoundationCF.dll not found - reinstall", or "not installed correctly Error 7 (windows error 126) - reinstall."  Tried download, install from apple.com for itunes on c drive, but message "library can't be read because it was created by a newer version of itunes."  How do I fix this without losing all of our "material" saved on the itunes program?

Thank you for the reply, but so far no go.  I tried through control panel and add remove programs with repair option as suggested but got error..."C:\programs......AppleAplicationSupport.msi cannot be found."  This was after I have done new download and install of itunes to the c drive.  I have not taken any steps to try use that down load or reload any material on it.  I changed path to external drive an folder, E:\ itunes and got the "error not valid installation package."  Still looking for answers...

    Uninstall your existing copy of iTunes. Delete any copies of the iTunesSetup.exe (or iTunes64Setup.exe) installer files from your downloads areas for your web browsers and download a fresh copy of the iTunes installer from the Apple website:
    http://www.apple.com/itunes/download/
    (The current build of the 11.1.4.62 installer was changed a few days ago, which fixed the bulk of the reports of MSVCR80.dll/R6034/APSDaemon.exe/Error-7/AMDS-could-not-start trouble ... but the build number on the installer was not changed. So we're trying to make sure you do the reinstall using a "new good" 11.1.4.62 installer instead of an "old bad".)
    Does the install with the new copy of the installer go through properly? If so, does that clear up the error message?

  • Is there a way to sync my music from my ipod to a computer without deleting it, the original computer i had it on crashed and i really dont want to lose all my music

    My computer that i had my itunes crashed and i wanted to know if there was a way to transfer my music from my ipod to a new computer without completely having to resync every cd. I already have the purchased music transfered.

    The music sync is one way - computer to ipod.  The exception is itunes purchases:  File>Transfer Purchases
    It has always been very basic to always maintain a backup copy of your computer for just such an occasion.  Use your backup cppy to put everything back.

  • What are the steps move iTunes from xp to windows 7

    I need to move iTunes from xp to a a new windows 7 laptop. My iTunes lib is now on an external hd because of size.

    Any tips or help would be appreciated.

    Thanks for your reply.
    I went to this page on the Apple Support site: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1364
    I followed its instructions and it didn't work. I tried it 5 or 6 times and then i took my PC to a shop and they tried it 5 or 6 times which cost me a fortune - and i still can't get it to work.
    I've checked my iTunes preferences as you said and it is set to this:
    D:\My Documents\My Music\iTunes\iTunes Music
    I've checked both folders and i've noticed both have the same information in them ie: C>USERS>CHRISMAY>MYMUSIC>iTUNES has exactly the same in it as D>MYDOCUMENTS>MYMUSIC>iTUNES - So there's a Library.xml file in each folder and a Library.itl file in each folder and an Album Artwork file in each folder etc etc. So in effect the both iTunes folders have exactly the same files in them apart from the 'iTunes Music' folder which is only located on the D Drive as this is where i want all the music to be stored.
    The reason for that was that i could only get iTunes to work with my original library by copying everything from my external back up onto the C Drive. So i don't know if having duplicate folders in both iTunes folders on the C & D drive's will be causing any of the problems or not ??
    Is there any chance you know why my iTunes is working on my PC and allowing me to upload music to it but it won't let my 2x iPod's or my iPhone sync with it ? If so are there any solutions i could try before i smash them all up in a fit of rage or all my hair falls out?
    Hope you can help................

  • How do I move iTunes library to an external hard drive to use less space?

    How do I move iTunes library to an external hard drive to use less space?

    Our iTunes guru Terence Devlin advises the following:
    1. Quit iTunes
    2. Drag the iTunes folder from your internal hd - located in ~/Music folder - to your external hd. DO NOT delete the original one from your internal hd... yet!
    3. When the transfer is complete, press and hold the Option(alt) key and fire up iTunes.
    4. A "Choose iTunes Library" window will come up. Click on the "Choose Library" button.
    5. Navigate to where the iTunes folder is located in the external hd.
    6. Within the iTunes folder, select the iTunes Library file and click Choose...
    That's it. iTunes will now display all your playlists, songs, movies, podcasts etc. At this point, should you wish, you can delete the iTunes folder from the internal hd to free up space.

  • How do you move itunes and iphoto to an extrernal drive, and have them still recognized on the computer

    How do you move itunes and iphoto to an extrernal drive, and have them still recognized on the computer.

    Step 1 - copy the relevant folders to your external drive.
    For iTunes, that would be yourusername/Music/iTunes (and everything underneath it, exactly as is).
    For iPhoto that would be yourusername/Pictures/iPhoto Library
    Step 2 - next time you start iTunes (and iPhoto) hold down the Option key while you click the application icon.  You will get a question box that will allow you to point iTunes (and iPhoto) to the new location on your external drive.
    Step 3 - after verifying that everything is working correctly with the libraries on your external drive, delete them from your internal drive.  Be sure to empty the trash.
    As always, it is best practice to always have a backup copy of your data ... just in case something goes wrong.

  • How do I save songs from old version of iTunes that I have on my iPod, as new verson is asking me to erase and sync before I can do ANYTHNG, and I don't want to lose my music!

    Hi everyone,
    Can anyone help?! Pleeeeease
    I have recently bought a new computer (new operating system Windows 7) and downloaded the new iTunes. When I tried to add a new song to my iPod shuffle, it said I had to ERASE and SYNC my iPod to the 'new' iTunes, and there seems to be no way around it. I DON'T repeat DON'T want to lose all my music on my iPod, as I no longer have that music/my old laptop with music on, and there are so many songs on it that it would take like forever to re-download EVRYTHING.
    I tried saving playlist on in iTunes, but it only saves it as a Read only file, there are no MP3's in there.
    I'm tearing my hair out over this!
    Any ideas?
    Thanks,
    Kitty

    How you delete content from your iPod depends on how it is set up to sync with your iTunes library whether that be automatically or manually.
    If it's automatically, you must reconfigure your settings so that the album you wish to remove is no longer configured to sync to your iPod.  For example, if the Sync only checked songs and videos option is enabled from under the iPod's Summary tab, make sure all the tracks for this album do NOT have a tick mark next to them in your iPod.  Then resync your iPod with iTunes.
    Otherwise, if you manually manage your iPod's contents, you must manually remove content from it.  You can do this by plugging your iPod in and clicking the small black triangle next to your iPod from under the Devices section in the left hand pane of iTunes.  This will open up a submenu of content, so go ahead and click on Music. Locate the track or tracks you wish to delete. Highlight them and hit the Delete key or choose Edit -> Delete.
