Itunes does not load

When I try to launch iTunes, I get a dialog box stating:
"The folder "iTunes" cannot be found or created, and is required. The default location for this folder is inside the "My Music" folder." with a button to 'OK'
It doesn't load. So frustrating. I can't believe it won't load. iTunes is located in "my Music" folder.
What gives? Please help?

I had this problem, too, and it took quite some time until I found the reason - at least on my computer.
Can you check whether the MyMusic folder given in the registry is the same as the one you think it is? Start regedit and go to HkeyCurrentUser -> Software -> Microsoft -> Windows -> CurrentVersion -> Explorer -> UserShellFolders. There you should find a key 'MyMusic'. In my case this was pointing to a non-existing location.
The problem is, that iTunes uses this settings, but - different from other programs - does not allow the users to change that on startup.

  • ITunes does not load after upgrading to 7.4.2!

    Installed iTunes 7.4.2 just right now. When I try to start it, all it will do is quickly flash "iTunes" in the menu bar without starting; sometimes not even that will occur. I opened the Activity Monitor to watch the app; iTunes does appear to start when I double-click by showing up in the monitor; however, after a few seconds it disappears.
    Anybody know what's going on?

    Do you have QuickTime 7.2 installed from the Apple website?
    Make sure to remove any "hackies", betas, and ShapeShifter, if installed.
    Go to /Library/Receipts/drag iTunesX.pkg to the trash and empty.
    Repair permissions ..... RESTART
    Reinstall iTunes 7.4.2 (Mac) from the Apple website +without performing any other processes during the download or install!+

  • ITunes does not load my library

    Hello I have MBP and I also have a Windows work machine that I built, I copies my itunes library from my MBP to my Windows machine (Windows 7). I recently upgraded my work machine with a 120GB SSD as a boot drive and kept my 1TB 7200RPM HDD as a data drive. When I reinstalled the itunes application and whent into Edit>Preferences>Advanced>F:\Users\[User name]\Music\iTunes\iTunes Media. Then I clicked "Organize itunes media" however once I close the prefence pane the library does not show up. Some more information is that F: is my data drive, and when i navigate through windows exploror to my media library and manualy play a song [by clicking on it in its folder] it opens in itunes and plays just fine, however since I have quite an extensive library and I do not want to to this for every song. Thank you.

    1. What version of Mac OS X is running on the Macbook. iOS is not a computer operating system.
    2. The iTunes app is in the Applications folder on the computer's hard drive.
    3. Double click the app in the Applications folder.
    When iTunes is running click Store in the menu bar. This will show a dropdown list. Select what you want from that list.

  • ITunes does not load - No error indicators

    Since updating to 10.x I cannot open iTunes. I have never had a problem prior to the autoupdate of iTunes just recently.
    I have reinstalled completely by uninstalling iTunes and Apple Application Support and then reinstalling from downloaded file. I have also turned off all anti-everything, the network and ran Malwarebytes with no malware indicated.
    I cannot update my iPhone and am concerned about losing all the music I have previously organized.
    Thanks for any help.

    Some questions aimed at narrowing in on possible culprits with error-message-free iTunes launch failures.
    (1) Does your QuickTime Player launch, or do you get an error message of some kind when you try to launch that?
    (2) If your QuickTime seems to be launching fine, try (by way of experiment) disabling the BonJour Service.
    In your Start Menu, right-click Computer and select "Manage".
    Expand "Services & Applications".
    Open "Services". (Maximise the window to better see what's going on.)
    Right-click the BonJour Service and select "Properties". In the "General" tab, set Start-up type to "Disabled".
    Restart the PC, and try launching iTunes again. Does it launch this time?
    If iTunes launches with the BonJour Service disabled, by any chance do you have a recent version of IOBit's Advanced SystemCare utility currently installed on the PC? If so, try uninstalling and reinstalling Advanced SystemCare. Can you launch iTunes without having to disable the BonJour Service now?

    is the norton blocking itunes from starting, if so how would i disable this
    many thanks Chris

    hi Chris!

    if you're running Norton Internet Security 2005, and you've getting no error messages whatsoever when you try to open itunes, then NIS 2005 is our prime suspect.
    let's first try this document:
    iTunes 6 won't open on a Windows computer if firewall software is not up-to-date
    ... but if no joy with that, let's try the trusty Lorraine M technique:

  • My iTunes does not update the album covers properly.

    I have the album covers in the same file location as the MP3 songs, and each album is located in a different file location, but iTunes does not load my album covers automatically. half the time I have to load the album cover from my library manually.
    I have authorised the computer, re-installed iTunes, manually selected all songs and updated album covers in the advace section. Nothing works.

    Try updating your iTunes using an iTunesSetup.exe (or iTunes64Setup.exe) installer file downloaded from the Apple website:

  • Itunes library not loading after upgrading

    Please help:  I had to upgrade my itunes when I plugged in my Iphone and now it won't sync.  No matter what I plug in (Ipad, Ipad2, Iphone or Ipod) the only thing that happens is the Iphotos will pop up and recognize that I have plugged in my device, but the Itunes does not load and sync.  I don't know if I did something wrong, put when it asked if I wanted to use Icloud I clicked no.  I don't know if that is my problem now or what. If anyone can help, I would appreciate it, as I am lost! 
    Thanks, Debbie.

    Are you following the instructions from this article in the Apple Knowledge Base, in particular the renaming of the .itl file from the Previous Libraries folder?

  • 5th gen Ipod does not load video on Itunes

    My 5th gen color Ipod recently began having problems when I updated Itunes software.
    The video that is on my Itunes library does not transfer when synced to Ipod.
    Video on Macbook plays but is not recognized by Ipod and does not load.
    Any help is appreciated.

    Check your settings for sync. The default for videos are that only unwatched videos get synced.

  • HT1473 I can load a CD on my PC to iTunes but when I sync with my iPhone 5S the CD does not load onto my iPhone. I used to be able to do this with no problem on my iPhone 4. Help!

    I can load a CD on to my PC - iTunes but when I sync with my iPhone 5s the CD does not load onto my iPhone 5S.
    Help!

    You can sort your library by adding a Sorting info in the File Info. Select a file in iTunes U, press cmd + i, choose Sorting Tab. For example add a Sort Name. For each file you have to put a value into that field, I did it with 01, 02, 03 .. 12. I do not know if this works if you select multiple files, but I did not try.
    The next time you sync your device, your files will be in order. It' ve tested it on an iPad2.
    If you ask me, there must be a better solution for that problem as the files have a track number saved in the info as well, and it is quite annoying to add the sorting order manually.

  • Itunes library does not load

    Itunes library, on local hard drive and in default location, does not load. The preference is pointing to the right place and reset doesn't do anything.
    This is what I did last. I had manually copied files directly in to /user/music/itunes/itunes music/ while I tunes was still running. Could this have damaged the library?
    Thank you.

    It is usually best to let iTunes do the work and use the 'keep' and 'copy' features.
    If you move things around from the Finder then iTunes loses its' reference to the tunes. If you do the work from within iTunes and you will have fewer problems.
    If the tunes are in the correct locations (/user/music/itunes/itunes music/) then from within iTunes select the 'Add' option from the File menu - select a tune or 2 as a check - are they now in the library? If so the 'add' the rest.

  • ITunes 11 does not load songs onto iPhone 4S from XP notebook

    I converted songs on CDs we own to MP3 and loaded them onto my wife's XP notebook. iTunes 11 found them and built a library from them. Synchronizing her iPhone 4S through her XP computer does not load the songs onto her phone. When I first synchronized my iPhone 4S through iTunes 11 on my Windows 7 computer, iTunes found MP3 music files on my computer, built a library, and uploaded them to my iPhone without any prompts from me. Why can I not get songs in MP3 to load from my wife's computer to her iPhone?
