  • Itunes not showing elements 11 drop down list of albums and won't sync, says ïtunes cannot sync, required folder cannot be found. ï have tried re installing both but no success. pls help!!!

    Hi, Itunes won't sync my photos to ipad from elements 11. itunes doesn't show drop down list of albums and says Ipad "......cannot be synced, required folder cannot be found" i have tried re installing both programs but no luck. pls help!!!

    I managed to finally fix the problem in a relatively painless way. It turned out that the problem wasn't on my phone, the problem was with iTunes. I completely uninstalled iTunes from my PC and then reinstalled it and everything was fine.
    In order to completely uninstall iTunes, I did two things:
    Used RevoUninstaller to uninstall iTunes. This cleans out a bunch of extra things that the normal iTunes uninstaller misses.
    Searched for any iTunes folders/files on my computer (using the freeware utility called Everything) and deleted them manually.
    I hope that works for you.

  • I click on the Mozilla icon and it will not load. I have tried to uninstall and reinstall but that doesn't work either

    I have tried to open Firefox, but it just sits there and doesn't load. I have tried to uninstall and reinstall but that works for a few hours and then it goes back to not loading. I don't know what else to do to get it too load.

    Right-click on your Windows Taskbar and select Start Task Manager. Look in Task Manager for processes running that are Firefox-related, such as Firefox.exe or plugin-container.exe. If you see either of those, right-click each of them and select "End process". Then try again to start Firefox in [[Safe Mode]]. <br /><br />
    *If Firefox will start in Safe Mode, select the option you are presented with to disable your add-ons and plug-ins and restart Firefox normally. You likely have a plug-in, add-on, or a combination of two or more that is causing the problem. Because Firefox allows users to customize endlessly, sometimes there can be conflicts between customized items. From the Firefox menu bar, go to<br /><br />Tools -> Add-ons<br /><br />then re-enable them one by one, restarting Firefox after each and testing after each one to see which one or combination of two or more is causing the problem. <br /><br />
    *If Firefox will not start in Safe Mode, make sure you again check Task Manager and end any running instances, then uninstall Firefox and download a fresh copy from mozilla.org/firefox using another browser temporarily. Re-install Firefox (see: [[Installing Firefox on Windows]] for more help ) and try running Firefox again.
    Please report back your progress.

  • Within Music Library can anyone please explain why when I select the option to sort 'Album by Artist' a number of tracks are being treated as separate albums?  How can I correct this?  I have tried to 'drag and drop' but that doesn't work.

    Within music Library can anyone please explain why after I select the option to sort 'Album by Artist' a number of tracks are being treated as separate albums?  How can I fix this?  I have tried to manually correct by 'drag and drop' individual tracks but that doesn't work.  My music library includes a number of repeat album artwork images simply because not all tracks are being listed under the one album making my library more difficult to use than it should.  Any advise would be appreciated.

    Freezing, or crashing?
    ID on the Mac can produce reports that may (or may not) prove helpful in diagnosing the problem. I suspect this is something not directly related to InDesign, and maybe not to any of the Adobe apps directly since you seem to be having a problem in more than one. That often inidcates a problem at the system level.
    Nevertheless, it won't hurt to try to gather the reports. You'll find driections for how to generate them, and to post them on Pastebin.com (then put a link to them here) so we can see what's going on at Adobe Forums: InDesign CS5.5 Not Responding

  • My itunes app was working fine then all of a sudden I'm getting an error - The Itunes application could not be opened.  The required folder cannot be found.  But it doesn't tell me what folder.

    I am using Windows Vista.  My itunes launched fine until now.  Now I get an error - "The Itunes application could not be opened.  The required folder cannot be found".  I have no idea what file it is looking for.  Has anyone seen this error? 
    I have also tried to uninstall the package and I get the error Could not access network location %APPDATA%\.  And it won't uninstall.  I don't know why it's complaining in both cases.

    Your music is stored on the computer in a folder independent of iTunes. The best place to start would be to update iTunes.

    Yes. It will reset your Home screen layouts.
    If the App store is hidden by Restrictions, it will not be enabled by Reset Home screen layout.
    You need to re-enable Installing Apps in General > Restrictions.

    My Aperture 2.1 has gone into a continual thumbnail mode.  I left the computer, a MacBook Pro, run all night, about 12 hours and it is still making thumbnails.  I tried reloading Aperture 2.1, but that did not change anything.  I have also turned the system off, for a period of time, and then turning it back on, when I click on Aperture, it comes up and locks in the thumbnail mode.  I can view my stored pictures, even modify them, but it still says thumbnails.
       I got in this mode by trying to import "one jpeg photo", from a scanned slide using a Nikon Scan4 IS5000ED scanner.  I had saved the scan to my  desktop before I tried to import it.

    My daughter has had her Razr for about 9 months now.  About two weeks ago she picked up her phone in the morning on her way to school when she noticed two cracks, both starting at the camera lens. One goes completely to the bottom and the other goes sharply to the side. She has never dropped it and me and my husband went over it with a fine tooth comb. We looked under a magnifying glass and could no find any reason for the glass to crack. Not one ding, scratch or bang. Our daughter really takes good care of her stuff, but we still wanted to make sure before we sent it in for repairs. Well we did and we got a reply from Motorola with a picture of the cracks saying this was customer abuse and that it is not covered under warranty. Even though they did not find any physical damage to back it up. Well I e-mailed them back and told them I did a little research and found pages of people having the same problems. Well I did not hear from them until I received a notice from Fed Ex that they were sending the phone back. NOT FIXED!!! I went to look up why and guess what there is no case open any more for the phone. It has been wiped clean. I put in the RMA # it comes back not found, I put in the ID #, the SN# and all comes back not found. Yet a day earlier all the info was there. I know there is a lot more people like me and all of you, but they just don't want to be bothered so they pay to have it fix, just to have it do it again. Unless they have found the problem and only fixing it on a customer pay only set up. I am furious and will not be recommending this phone to anyone. And to think I was considering this phone for my next up grade! NOT!!!!

  • Recently got a new computer and downloaded iTunes.  All of my music has downloaded from the cloud witht the exception of one song.  I have tried transferring from my phone, but it won't work.  How do I get it back without having to download again?

  • Importing CD's to iTunes fail with "The required folder cannot be found"

    I have my iTunes library on an external drive.  Everything works fine, except that I cannot import CD's into iTunes.  When I try, I get the error "The required folder cannot be found".  My work around currently is to:
    1. Upfdate my preference for "iTunes Media Folder Location" to the standard location by clicking on the "Reset" button.
    2. Import the CD
    3. Copy the folder that it created with the songs to the correct location on the external disk
    4. Update the preference or Folder Location back to my external library location
    5. Double click on the first song where I get the message that it cannot be located
    6. Locate it manually, and iTunes then searches for the others and fix the location.
    This is extremely frustrating and impractical.  I am on the very latest release and it is still happening.  Does anyone know how to get around it? 

    I have the same problem as pyzaptys' with the exception that there is no My Music folder in the default location. I created one but the iTunes install cannot see it. I used the tweakui as suggested in the response to the original post but the app does not see the My Music folder in the special folders selections.
    I have tried many angles but to no avail.
    To pyzaptys: try these out:

  • "required folder cannot be found" error in iTunes 11 with iphone 5

    I'm getting the "Attempting to copy to the disk "Macintosh HD" failed. The required folder cannot be found" error when I sync my iPhone with iTunes. I haven't split my iTunes media library or moved it to an external drive--everything's on the internal hard drive on my 2011 iMac, which is running 10.6.8 and iTunes 11.05. (I was also getting the error on iTunes 10.XX--thought the upgrade might help, but the error persists.) So does this mean my iPhone is NOT really backing up to my hard drive when I get this error? The Summary page for my phone in iTunes still updates the sync date and time each time I try to sync, so it looks as if the backup is actually occuring. How can I get this message to go away?

    Try creating a new itunes library. Just move your music folder somewhere else for a while, and itunes should create a new one on launch. (Quit itunes before moving).
    Now try downloading you music again. You shouldn't have to pay for this again. I had some problems downloading something I bought a while back, although I can't remember how I did it I was able to re-download the thing. Just search around, shouldn't be to hard to find.
    Good luck.
