ITunes can't find iTunes folder nor create a new one

ONce I moved my iTunes folder to an external drive. Now I cannot start iTunes if my notebook is not connected to this external drive, like while on a trip. Appears like iTunes has made the external drive location as dafault location. I have even tried uninstalling and installing from scratch again. How can I make my local harddisk be default location again?

  • Where in itunes can I find the eject button for my new ipod nano?

    Where in itunes can I find the eject button for my new ipod nano?

    When in iTunes on the top R it should say your name and ipod and then there is a triangle pointing up with one or two lines underneath.  Just click on that and then it's ok to disconnect.

  • I am trying to update iTunes on my IMB Thinkpad laptop...keep getting a message that itunes can't find iTunes.msi

    I installed iTunes a couple of years ago....have lots of songs, purchase more all the time....and run an i phone, i pad and i pod....I use the ipod for music only.  Trying to update the iTunes, which it asks me to do when I open up iTunes on my laptop....I go to update, and it can't get all the way thru....stops and gives me that message saying it can't find iTunes.msi or something about the pathway to it...how do I fix that?

    Hello Rneufeld,
    Thank you for providing the details of the issue you are experiencing with iTunes.  I recommend trying to download the update directly from our site.
    You can download the latest version of iTunes here:
    Download iTunes
    http://www.apple.com/itunes/download/
    If you are still not able to install the update, I recommend using the steps in this article and selecting iTunes in step 8:
    "The feature you are trying to use is on a network resource that is unavailable" alert when removing Apple software in Windows
    http://support.apple.com/kb/TS3704
    Once you have it removed, try installing iTunes again using the link above. 
    Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.
    Best,

  • I can't find a folder I created in photoshop while saving I pressed new folder. can anyone help? I have used the finder option, and it's not pulling it up!

    I can't find a folder I made in photoshop while saving, i pressed new folder button, named it and saved several photos to it. It was easy in the begining while it was a recent folder. I could always find it as a recent folder. Now that it's not, I don't know where it is. And finder won't pull it up. Can anyone suggest a magic fix?

    In the Finder (with a window open shown), type all or part of the folderName or the new fileName(s) as illustrated in EITHER field

  • I have an older model of the ipod shuffle, we forgot the itunes log in and pass so we created a new one. My question is how to i get that music that is on the shuffle on the computer?

    I have an older model of the ipod shuffle, we forgot the itunes login and pass so we created a new one. My question is how do we transfer that music that is on the shuffle to the computer? It will not let me do anything... The music titles are all dulled out, the only thing i can do is listen to them but I cannot do anything else.
    Please help thanks!

    You do not.  Content is permanently tied to the Apple ID that it was acquired with.
    Sign out of the computer with the new Apple ID.  STOP using the new Apple ID.
    Sign in with the original Apple ID that the content was acquired with.

  • ITunes update corrupted some of my music files so iTunes can't find the file, nor music I  bought from the iTunes store.

    After an iTunes generated update of iTunes, some of my music can't be accesed any more. When I try to play the file, iTunes says it can't find the link. This also happens with music I purchase from the iTunes store, so I've lost all this music; do I have to re-buy the purchased music again? My iTunes program is on my C drive, and the music library is on my D drive. In iTunes, I've set the ripped music to be placed in my D drive. The lost links are on some music files, but not others which do play music. Some compilation music files were split up into individual files, usually without LP art attached. Some album art was placed on wrong albums as well. Music with lost links have a ! mark beside the song name. File info says the link is on my C drive, but I can't find it there. Any ideas on how to get these lost files back. Thanks, Moizy.

    Try this...
    Empty/corrupt library after upgrade/crash
    Hopefully it's not been too long since you last upgraded iTunes, in fact if you get an empty/incomplete library immediately after upgrading then with the following steps you shouldn't lose a thing or need to do any further housekeeping. In the Previous iTunes Libraries folder should be a number of dated iTunes Library files. Take the most recent of these and copy it into the iTunes folder. Rename iTunes Library.itl as iTunes Library (Corrupt).itl and then rename the restored file as iTunes Library.itl. Start iTunes. Should all be good, bar any recent additions to or deletions from your library.
    See iTunes Folder Watch for a tool to catch up with any changes since the backup file was created.
    When you get it all working make a backup!

  • Imported photo's from computer, via Itunes, to iphone, now itunes can't find the folder with original pictures from Iphone or doesn't recognize it.

    Dear reader,
    i just bought a new Iphone 5s, and decided to download Itunes and sync my Iphone with my laptop. Everyting went well until i decided to try out some things and i imported pictures via Itunes from laptop to Iphone. this is how i did it: Itunes - iphone - pictures - pictures synchronized from 'option choose map' - I chose another map - after, i 'ticked' box 'all maps'. Then i hit the button 'synchronize'. I forgot to look how the orignal map was called and this was the one Itunes syncronised autmatically with, that one also contaned all the original pictures on my Iphone. So, after putting some new photo's on my Iphone, i wanted to change the settings back to normal so my Itunes and Iphone could sync iphone pictures again. But I can't find the old map back or Itunes doesn't recognize the map. I already tried to use the map 'Ipod Photo Cache' but it shows only empty folders. I also tried computer - iphone - Internal storage or DCIM or 860OKMZO; No idea what that means but i thought that the last two folders can contain pictures. However, i get an error if select these ones a map in Itunes. How do I get back to the old settings again?
    I hope I described the problem well; English is not my native language so i'm sure this might contain grammar mistakes.
    A big 'thank you' for helping me in advance!

    When i connected the iphone to my laptop, i found the location of the pictures on the iphone; the a map called  '860OKMZO' (i've mentioned this map earlier, this folder is located inside the folder DCIM). But if i try to open it with Itunes, this error comes up: 'foldername is invalid'. I figured that Itunes could have saved the synchronised pictures in another map somewhere else but i've found nothing... 

  • ITunes can't find iTunes folder...

    Here's the problem: I successfully synced my iPod last night and when I went to use iTunes this morning I got the error message that iTunes couldn't find the iTunes folder. I went through everything I could to try to help iTunes bu to no avail. I uninstalled and re-installed, twice. Any ideas would be greatly appreciated.

    Hold the Shift key, launch iTunes.
    Select *Choose library* and select the _iTunes library.itl_ file in \Music\iTunes\ folder.

  • Is it possible to re-install itunes and sign in your account without creating a new one?

    I cant access my itunes account so I am thinking of un-installing it and re-insalling it. Would I be able to sign in my account using my apple ID instead of creating a new account? thanks in advace

    Hi there
    The installation of iTunes has nothing to do with your iTunes account.
    Are you unable to access your iTunes account because of a forgotten password? If so, then you can reset it here.
    However, if you are unable to access your account for some other reason (disabled, etc), then you may need to contact the iTunes Store Support team
    Good luck

  • I can't remember my apple id and apple can't find me if I create a new apple id what happens?

    My daughter can't remember her Apple ID and for some reason Apple can't find her ID. It's suggesting she create a new Apple ID if she does that what happens? She's worried she will lose the items she has purchased. Oh and somehow her IPOD touch 4th gen got linked onto her sisters account so it doesn't show the username unfortunately when you try to purchase something. I can't find where I wrote all this down either

    Is there a way to find my Apple ID Name if I can't remember it?
    Yes. Visit My Apple ID and click Find your Apple ID. See Finding your Apple ID if you'd like more information.
    How do I change or recover a forgotten Apple ID Password?
    If you've forgotten your Apple ID Password or want to change it, go to My Apple ID and follow the instructions. SeeChanging your Apple ID password if you'd like more information.
    If y can't find the old ID/password then you are limited to the things yo can do with items purchased with the account. Like not being able to update apps and transfer purchases.

  • Iphoto can´t find my photos, is creating a  new library the only solution?

    Ok, I am having a hard time understanding iPhoto and its libaries. There are two parts of my question;
    1.
    I imported all my photos which I had on an external hard drive. I then changed my mind and copied them to the harddrive, and also kept thm on the external as a backup.
    Now iPhoto cant find any of the photos. The thumbnails are there, but every time I doubleclick on an image, an error message appears The volume for “x.jpg” cannot be found.
    I have about 14.000 pictures, so to sit and "find photo" one by one would take a very long time...
    Is there another way to make iPhoto find all the images again?
    2.
    I think I found one soulution to this, but Im not sure Im doing it right. What I did was that I downloaded "iPhoto library manager", created a new library, named it "No.2" and imported all the photos again into that library. This seems to be working fine. However, when I click the default library in Finder, it says that it takes up 9 GB of my harddrive. Can I delete this library? Or will it affect iPhoto since it is the default library?
    I am completely new to Mac and still stuck in Windows-land. So if anyone can help me with this it is much appreciated!
    /E

    Hi,
    thank you foryou quick reply!
    Ok, so nothing will happen to the images if i trash the original library?
    Also, i have another question you might have an answer to. When I open the No.2 library (I have imported all the images to here) every time a message appears "6 photos have been found in the iPhoto Library that were not imported" I click "Yes" every time, but no images are imported and the message appears every time I open iPhoto. Aslo, every time I click Yes, iPhoto creates an album called "recovered Photos 1" "2", "3" etc. What photos does this regard? Can I get rid of this message somehow?

  • Can I delete my iCloud and create a new one, but retain all my stuff?

    So I can't remember the password/security questions to the current apple ID i'm using for my iCloud. It's an old email address that I don't use anymore. I was wondering if anyone could tell me if it's possible to delete my icloud account then simply create a new account and have it sync all the stuff from my old account?

    So there is absolutely no way to get rid of that @yahoo.com adress? Maybe remove the @me.com adress, and then create a new account? I want it to be a clean account, not a 2-level account, etc. Just the @me adress. It's possible since today i set up a Mac, and i created a "pure" iCloud adress. just the @me.com

  • I can't find my lost bookmarks or add new ones

    I can't find my lost bookmarks having upgraded to Firefox 3.6 and when I try to add a bookmark I get a message that the server is busy. I have tried all the options under help.

    [https://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/Lost+Bookmarks]
    AFAIK, Firefox doesn't need to contact a server for anything related to bookmarks, unless you have an addon that modifies standard Firefox behavior or adds features to Firefox.
    I see by your UserAgent that you have the Google Toolbar extension installed, are you using the Google Bookmarks feature?
    Maybe that is your problem, Google bookmarks attempting to "call home"?
    What else do you have installed that might be causing that problem?
    Open up Help > Troubleshooting Information and hit the '''Copy all to clipboard''', then paste that information into the '''''Post a Reply''''' box in this thread.
    That will give us a listing of all you installed addons.
